hello out there people!!!

Hi to all my girlfriends who are not reading or responding to this blog. shame, shame, shame on you. never know if it is just shame, shame or just shame on you. anyway where have you all been these last 2 months????????????? I am going to write on this blog and tell you what I have been doing. I have gained 8 lbs from eating candy, nonpareils (from Evelyns on John st. if you want the best homemade fattening candy in the world) and pizza with my poker friends (pizza, poker and therapy is our alternate name). Just went to Naples Fla, stayed at La Playa. It was nice, but not the Ritz and you know how I like the Ritz Carlton. Always my favorite!! The hotel was southern veranda, plantation style. Food was fabulous and the beach was gorgeous, but cool. Little buggers that usually get me in St. Thomas followed me to Naples. I am truly not that sweet, but the sand flies, fleas?, always get me. It must be the chocolate on my skin seeping out!! I saw Obama's air force one on the tarmac as we were leaving, and was delayed as his plane took off. No security for him, however. So here is my question for all of you. I have had a cold or sinus infection or some such and took my bigger than 4 oz prescription cough medicine with me. There was NO PROBLEM as it was in a little baggy with my nail polish and hand sanitizer. So what gives, are they stupid, I could have had really bad stuff in there that should screeen for, no? Just because it was in a med bottle with prescription attached, duh, you think a terrorist might not notice that cough medicine gets by????? Next time, I want them to test it or drink it or something!! Does anyone have a good jeweler in town. I can't recall who told me they had a great place for repairs. I would appreciate it. For those of you who know my legal name ( not honest jo) I am on facebook where I have joined about 35 of my old high school friends. we are all reconnecting. so this is what we do when we get old(er?) speak to my ladies. I love you and need to hear from you, bore us please!!!!!!!!! honest jo
