On Feb 15, 2010 at 9:40 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:I have friends in Omaha, that’s where I bought my Harley way back when. Did you know that Lincoln Nebraska is one of the most haunted cities in the united states?
On Feb 15, 2010 at 9:44 pm #
Purple Chick aka Violet says:I didn’t know that about Lincoln….. could be scary !!!! Or are they friendly haunts ?
Do you still have your Harley?
On Feb 15, 2010 at 9:49 pm #
Crazy Chick Frida says:Great pick! Fave for me aswell. Happy to hear that you feelin good and got healthy! Hugs
On Feb 15, 2010 at 9:52 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Some of the spirits there are benevolent, others most definitely are NOT, like the one that haunts the state building, he scares the crap even outta me, and I don’t scare easily. Unfortunately I don’t still have my harley, though I’m not allowed to drive anymore anyhow. My ex husband got it, which seriously ticked me off, as I rebuilt that baby myself. ’49 panhead that had been modernized, rather poorly at that. Through going to swap meets, I redid her back to original, complete with a rigid frame, old SU carborator, and the original 6 volt system, heh.
On Feb 15, 2010 at 9:52 pm #
Purple Chick aka Violet says:Thank you Frida !!
How are you today?
On Feb 15, 2010 at 9:56 pm #
Purple Chick aka Violet says:O.K. I’m staying away from Lincoln !!!!!!
Too bad he got the Harley…. but how very cool that you rebuilt it yourself…. the more I learn about you… the more I’m amazed at your talents !!!!!!

Crazy Chick Frida says:mE IN bed so tierd time is four in the morning here n I have just crawled down to the bed. otherwise I think on my old cat… thank u for asking
On Feb 15, 2010 at 9:58 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Meh, the older harley engines aren’t difficult, pans, blocks, flsts, knuckles and shovels…it’s the new evolution engines that are a real pain in the tucas.

CAS says:Violet! I’m so glad that you’re feeling better, but I’m still going to give you my old energy conservation speech (from when I was an active RN). Ahem … (throat clearing) … ok … think of your energy as a large rock on top of a hill, it doesn’t take much to get it to roll to the bottom, but it takes alot of work to get it back to the top … in other words DON’T OVERDO IT!! Or your rock will keep ending up at the bottom of the hill … another way to think of it is like a glass of water being filled one drop at a time, if you drink up all the water in one glup it’ll take a long time to fill the glass, but if you sip it and give it time to refill alittle you’ll still have water at the end of the day … give yourself rest breaks … often! Hugs!!
On Feb 15, 2010 at 10:56 pm #
Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Wonderful way to put such wonderful advice CASS. Christine is it not? I like that analogy
On Feb 15, 2010 at 11:00 pm #
CAS says:I always found that my patients understood the need for not “overdoing” and taking rest breaks better if they could tie it to an image in their minds … the best thing it works for any age & any intelligence level because it’s so easy to visualize.
On Feb 15, 2010 at 11:03 pm #
Purple Chick aka Violet says:Thank you Cas, I hear you, believe me, I do….. I am taking it easy and yes lots of breaks…. I know my limits….. I am being good…
I am sipping the water slowly !!!!! LOL !!!!!! I won’t let it get empty!! Hugs to you !!
On Feb 15, 2010 at 11:07 pm #
CAS says:I’m glad my Purple Chick! And with that thought I’m off to beddy-bye … (yawn) … sleep well all my darling Chicks!!
On Feb 15, 2010 at 11:09 pm #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Sleep sweet CAS!! Hugs to you!

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Wow, Faith I’m with you… Lots going on in this pick!!!
First & foremost, I’m so glad you’re back on your feet again Violet!!! I can see that you’re feeling better in your pick! I’m not even going to harass you about taking it easy – I can see that’s been well covered! Happy Day!!!
Then the nekkid dance thing… I’m not sure even homemade chicken noodle soup could get me to try that!
Weird about Lincoln NE. I didn’t know that. :O 8P My sis-in-law & family live in Omaha.
Ravin (re)built a Harley!!! Wow, girl you are amazing! I’m sorry it isn’t yours anymore.
On Feb 16, 2010 at 12:34 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Wow, I am late to the party once again! LOL What great news, Violet!!! I’m happy-dancing with all of you, but I have my robe on! Tee hee
The more I read and post on here, the more I am amazed and impressed with all you ladies!!!
Christine, great analogy for building up one’s strength!
Ravin, fab to learn about you and your Harley, though I am sorry
she isn’t with you any longer.
On Feb 16, 2010 at 12:48 am #
Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Lynn!!! A Robe!! ::chants:: Take it off Lynn, take it off, take it off Lynn Take it off! ROTFLOL, just kidding, yeah, I mis my harley, but even if I still had her, I couldn’t ride her. I’m not allowed to drive a car even cuz of my balance issues, can’t imagine them letting me drive a motorcycle, heh.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:A beautiful purple pick, Violet!
I am so happy you’re feeling better!
And I must add my cautions to everyone else’s. A colleague had pneumonia with a collapsed lung. She was out for over a month and then came back 1/2 time for a week or so. She teaches PE, unfortunately she can’t take it easy at work.
Lots of hugs to you!
On Feb 16, 2010 at 9:29 am #
