I like that picture. I'm pretty sure it's photo shopped and I don't know who did it, but anyhow...I'm feeling halfway decent today and I need to get my Yule shopping done. Maybe I'll take my mother too since she hasn't been bothering me. I think this stroke thing actually scared her. I told her she can not stress me out right now. This is funny though, I called her from the ICU and told her what was happening and let her know my rat was fine and she didn't need to go in my house (eye roll)..she said, "Oh, no! I hope you're okay. I wasn't feeling good last night, my back hurt real bad and I was up all..." That's the part where I hung up. When I finally got my weak ass home, there was a fucking padlock on my door! Yep. My door lock was broken again and she'd had someone put on an ugly as fuck padlock. I had to put down my baggage and slowly wade over to her backdoor in frozen snow to get the key. Her excuse was, she wanted to make sure my pet was okay. Geeeesh. BeeBee is a rat, not only do I always keep her food and water well stocked, but, she's a rat! Did I mention she's a rat? Yeah. Well, rats hide food, it's their hobby. Anyway, my mom said she wants the key kept over there and then she will always know when I come home. She smiled real sweet. LMAOOOO! Right. I took the key, went home, and threw the padlock in the trash. Because you know those things come with two keys. If she wants to get into this dump, she has to break in as usual. I am not making it a piece of cake. Duhhhh. Well, I didn't stress over it, I don't even care, it's not worth another stroke. She has left me pretty much alone since I got home, I think she finally realized I had a fucking stroke. Yesterday she knocked (she actually knocked) and asked if I need laundry done. I did. I still can't do things like that. So she took a small load home. I thought it was really sincerely nice of her and if she actually brings it back before New Years I will tell her so. My mother is just fucking nuts and I can not change her. I can't let her get to me anymore, it's bad for my health.*
Oh, does anyone out there know how to remove medical tape adhesive? I've tried everything, it's all over my arms and tit area.

I noticed we have several readers from Arizona on here. I was in Tucson in the late 60's and very early 70's. Does anyone else know of a place called Hippie Hill? It was Himmel park off Speedway Blvd and all the cool kids (and not cool me) used to hang there and strum guitars and not inhale cheap Mexican weed. And have war protests. Big hangout in the hippie days, a righteous happening. LOL. Anyone else?

Arizona peeps..also hung out at La Madera. Learned a G chord. LMAO!
medical adhesive = super glue....
i would recommend soaking in a hot tub for an hour or so....that should help loosen it up....barring that....put warm compresses on it....have a heating pad on it....basically get it warm and wet (that doesn't sound right)....
ps: i was worried about your rat too!
Thanks Tia. Awww, that's sweet, but, I have a big water bottle for her and she's always stocked up. I don't have a damn tub. I guess it will wear off, it sure is ugly.
I try a hot compress. There's a lot of it.
DD-for the tape residue use WD40. It works. For any adhesive residue. Don't cha just love when you buy a new picture frame and they always put the price tag on the glass? Idiots. But WD40 works.

escrow, I have some. Wait, wait.........fuckin A! It works yer a dang genius.
AND you sound really young on the phone.
WD-40 works great..plus if you ever run into a situation again.....4M actually makes a product called surgical tape adhesive remover (God only knows whats in it..lol). Ask them @ Hospital or doctors office for it. They had it at the little Hospital here in Pekin,Il so it can not be rare.
Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Rubbing alcohol also removes medical tape residue. It worked on my daughter when she had it from her IV. I put the alcohol on a cotton pad and kept wiping.
It's petroleum based that all I know. Yeas ago this little old man who owned the paint store in downtown Omaha taught me that trick. I had scraped up those old ugly ass non-slip things from the bathtub and left all that residue.He taught me how to paint too without using all that blue tape he could have sold me. I'm sure he's in heaven now.

DD, here are some suggestions

Alcohol seems to be the favorite, but there's goo be gone, etc., too.
"it's all over my arms and tit area."
LMAO!
LOL, it was! I had a shitload of it. Alcohol doesn't work, neither does lotion, goats milk soap, nail polish remover or anything else I tried. WD40 kicked its ass though.
My sister was going to grad school at U of A in the late 60s and lived in an apartment complex on Speedway. I went out there to visit several times. Cool place to visit, but her complex was full of a lot of straight arrows. Air Force jr. officers and grad students... and maybe a 'couple' party people. I seem to remember doing my first shots of Tequila at a party down by the pool.
CJ, I'll bet she knows Hippie Hill, it's kinna famous. I was pretty young and radical, but, I didn't drink or drug. I was just a peaceful little hippe flower child. There was always a happening at Hippie Hill. Man, it was Arizona's answer to San Fran back then.
I looked like Twiggy back then, LOL.
Baby oil takes that shit right off. Glad your Mom is leaving you alone. I hope it lasts.
Oh and the stuff they use in the hospital is called Uni-Solve, it works great too LOL
Bet I looked more like Twiggy (in 1969). 5'4", 101 lbs and straight long blond hair down to my ass. ;)
She lived on Speedway in 68 & 69. Got married to an AF Lt. 8/69 and they moved to a rental house closer to the base. They left AZ in 71. Oldest bro was a AF Major also stationed there, 65-69. And another bro & wife moved to Tucson around the same time. They lived in the same area as my sister's place, several blocks off Speedway.
CJ, 5'2' and (at that time) 89 pounds. LOL. That freekin' Speedway is something to behold at night.
Your sis sounds just a little bit older than me.
Ok, think you have me beat on that Twiggy look. Kinda funny how we both were saying 'at that time' for the weight & height. How the body changes over the years!
Think I'm a few years older than you, the sister is five yrs older than me. You must have been ... what... 17 when you were in Tucson? Think it was several months before my 19th B/D on my first trip. And I had honed my drinking skills at Penn State, so I was ready for the Tequila. Several of the neighbors told my sister about it the next day. 'little sis was drinking shots and blowing bubbles w/ her double bubble at the same time". I had hidden talents.
If you can get you hands on "Goo Gone", that stuff is amazing. I also hear that WD-40 breaks it down, too!
No, Cj I was younger then, 12-16.
I eat everything my body produces.
Okay then.
Forgot you were out on your own at a very early age. Don't know how you did that. I would've been scared shitless. As much as I tried to convince people I was tough, I was a chicken inside.
Checked w/ my sister about Himmel Park. She said she'd "never heard of it & remember Speedway was 20 miles long". ... I googled it, wasn't far from where she lived, maybe 1/2 mile. The apt. complex she lived in was called Palm Shadows, not too far east of U of A campus. Figured out why she doesn't know it. Remember I said her building was full of straight arrows (grads & military) and this was during Vietnam. She had nothing to do with hippies & war protesters. I even wonder what music she listened to. Asked her several years ago if she remembered some groups from the late 60s/ early 70s. She had no idea who I was talking about.
Me - I was the pseudo hippie radical in the family. During the day I was conservative banker person ... at night & weekends I was hippie girl.

you might want to check with an MD for that affliction

CJ, I googled it and it IS famous! It is now the meeting place of Arizona Pagans and Wiccans. I want to go back!
escrow, aren't the trolls witty? Meaningless crap.
Yeah, CJ, Speedway had a real seedy part. It was top ghetto, I had to sneak out and walk the bvd. I met hookers and ran from cars that thought I was a hooker..lol. I was a kid, omg.
ROAD TRIP!
Let's all go to Tucson in the spring.

Toll is just a dumbed down Chatty Cathy waiting for someone to pull its ring

Oh, they'll be having some big time Spring rights there, CJ, it would be awesome to go back and celebrate.
The sister finally got back to me last night. She googled Himmel & I was right, it was only a half mile from her apt. And my quess was correct too. She "didn't pay attention to hippies or war protestors". Had no clue about Himmel. ...She led a sheltered life. Brother #2 had lived two blocks from the Arizona Inn.
Ahhhh, I had no parental units. I was a wild child. It was a great place.
Rumor had it that Janis Joplin showed up there to a happening once. Might have been true.
Loved Janis. She died too young, like many of her contemporaries. In my world, when you die, you're done. This is one of the times I hope other people are right b/c that means Janis is still singing to a crowd.
Me too. I love her. My son lived in her hotel room in Ca. It was very weird. Long story, but..yeah.
