  • Sandy, glad Babe did finally get help. Hope he will be okay. Sorry, but your post wasn't there late last night or I would have commented on it. Crazy days at mfp.
    Sunny in Arizona today. Nice change! Hugs to all.

    I wish you'd had a go with the salty language PATSY to see what would happen, lol. I daren't, I'd probably get banned now. Not that I use much salty language in the real world, just "kippers and custard" etc and I presume that won't get *****!
    Hi PHOEBE.

    Wow Marie - what a wonderful gift. Phoebe you are a great friend!! We will look forward to seeing a photo.

    Sandy - I didn't see your post last night either. Darn MFP. I am glad Babe got help and hope he is now on the mend.

    Jackie - glad you are just about finished with treatment. You have been doing great. The mixed up weather must be causing problems with your bees. Hugs to you and I hope George is calmed down now after all the excitement.

    Anne - the MFP editing is so silly. They cannot monitor context so many words get bleeped. Hope your afternoon is going pleasantly.

    Barbie - enjoy your little trip.

    I can't get back a page to review the posts so I am sorry for everyone I have missed.

    This morning I decided to try to go to the Grand Opening of the first in Iowa REI store. It was insane. No parking places in the entire development and hordes of people standing in line in the cold an hour before opening so I just cruised on through and moved on. I got a gift certificate I needed for a wedding I am attending tomorrow. And I also stopped by a grocery store that I had not been in since they remodeled. I was quite pleasantly surprised as the produce section has really upgraded and I found a number of things (of very good quality) that I would purchase. So this store is back on my list of sources of fresh produce. And it. Is very close to 2 others I frequent so I was happy even though I didn't get to the store opening.

    Oh and my neighbor stopped over with all of my mail and packages from yesterday. Apparently the post office dropped everything there. Thankfully my neighbors are honest people. I am very happy about that.

    Time to move along. Hugs to everyone.

    Hello again, just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Babes health problems. That said! My daughter was in desperate condition with extreme obesity and cardiac issues. With good medical care, there is help for folks who are even in bad shape. Sounds like Babe is finally getting the care he needs. Sandy, there are times when those we love turn a deaf ear to our concerns. In some way, I think they know how much we care. My thoughts are with you, Sandy, and your family. I am feeling sure Babe will get better now with good medical care.

    Lin: once the big grand opening thing is over, you will love REI. My son buys all his clothing and shoes at the one in Portland. John likes their clothing as well. Great rain gear...and you know we need that!

    Marie: you may have realized this already. You are a special lady in everyone's heart. All my best wishes for a happy birthday. I can't seem to get the lovely graphics to work on my iPad. Wish I could send you one of the lovely cards. I see on here. Have a wonderful day, birthday girl!

    TGIF!! :) I am like all the other working people and welcome Fridays!! Robby was very good taking a half hour nap this morning so I could shower and get ready and a two hour nap this afternoon so I could just rest. I called Babe before 7am this morning but he didn't answer, he called back later and said they were doing an ultra sound of his heart. I asked if he wanted me to come and visit after Robby left but he said his son would probably be there all day. He called later in the afternoon and he was home. He said his heart doctor told him that one more day he probably would have had a massive heart attack so next time he feels chest pains he should see her immediately. I did mention to him that I asked him to go to the ER and he agreed he should have but at least he is ok and home.
    I asked again if I should come and see him and he said maybe later tonight. I am waiting for him to call and will tell him I am not coming tonight and will try tomorrow. I don't want to be mean, but I am still hurt that neither he or his son didn't call me before the heart procedure. I would have tried to get to the hospital in case there were complications. It just makes me wonder what will happen if something does happen to Babe, will no one let me know? Sorry, didn't mean to rant, but you are my family.

    Phoebe, what a great friend you are to send Marie roses, I know she loves you and really appreciates all that you do for her. Lin, you are also a great new friend sending Marie a birthday card. Marie, my mind is just not thinking lately and I apologize for not sending a card to your house, but will certainly make it up to you tomorrow. Shirley, love the Halloween picture of Issac, he makes a great pumpkin. Patsy I am sure Babe will be okay now that he finally ended up in the hospital. I love his heart doctor she is very knowledgeable.
    Lin I also like REI, although they are not cheap. Jackie So glad you are on the final treatment, but sorry you have some discomfort. It has to be worth the pain though if your doctor said it all went well. You are one tough cookie.Anne I could be wrong but I think a lot of English use a lot of colorful language. The actors and actresses I see on TV interview do it all the time.lol

    Babe just called and I told him I would see him tomorrow, he is tired anyway and I am still fighting a cold.
    Have a great evening.
    Sandy

    JACKIE, thank goodness you will be finished with the treatments, though I doubt we ever noticed any temper tantrums rolling in over the waves! Just be well and keep the bees busy, as a sign the universe may yet be saved! PATSY, I thoroughly agree with you on shopping! We must be rare birds, although Amazon has grown phenomenally! I even buy my clothes on sale online as Chico's has a fabulous site, and that's my clothing brand, and they run incredible sales! I even hate supermarket trips but I must buy my yogurt, so I go occasionally! ANNE, it's really OK to treat yourself to a lazy luxurious day! Now, what did I miss regarding " ***** for a normal English children's word for cats" ? I looked over back posts and came up with nothing, so help me, please!
    AS far as my foot, I actually did not wrap it today as it seemed much improved, so tonight, having forgotten to down a Tylenol, I cannot even put it on the floor! I shall hop off to bed and listen to the discussions about the Forum tonight. Best to all our missing friends tonight...

    Hello all,

    Sandy - perhaps someday Babe will start listening to you. He definitely has his priorities wrong. But then, you are much better away from all that tension with his family. Hugs

    Marie - we are heading away for a week. Have a wonderful Happy Birthday.

    Shirley - so cute!!!

    Leaving tomorrow. Not sure if we'll have wifi or not, but we'll see.

    Hugs to all

    Jeri

    BUZZ, in answer to your query I can't type the word for I'll get ***** again. However do you know the old nursery rhyme:
    *****cat, *****cat where have you been,
    I've been to London to see the queen,
    *****cat, *****cat what did you do there,
    I chased a little mouse under her chair.
    LINS quite right the machine doesn't understand the concept of the word to differentiate, it has flaws, and that's maybe a good thing. How's the poor foot?
    Busy day for me, it's coffee break. Enjoy everybody, especially MARIE.

    Buzz, I am so sorry about your foot. I trust today will be a better day.

    Jeri, enjoy your trip and if no WiFi, we'll see you when you get home.

    Anne, enjoy your coffee break. I just made a cup of tea.

    Marie, I hope you hear from all your family today!

    Patsy and Sandy - thanks for the info on REI. I just signed up for emails and got a discount coupon. Meanwhile, I also just looked at the web site a bit, ouch on the prices. Everything must be of excellent quality.

    Well, just cooked some quinoa, a vegetable spaghetti squash, some green beans and some hibiscus water. I am making some signs for the craft table at church---next Saturday is the annual BIG DEAL turkey dinner and I have declined to help with the actual food this year but I will be helping to set up and man the craft table for the duration of the sale. Unfortunately I couldn't think of anything to make for the fund raiser but will be selling discount coupon books for several local grocery stores.

    Then it's lunch and off to the wedding I mentioned yesterday.

    I hope everyone is having a pleasant day.

    Lin

    Happy Saturday!! :) Temps in the 40's today, I am missing the warmer weather already. I slept in, I am still fighting getting a cold, so far I am winning. ;) I will go visit Babe before I go to Church today, that is if he is alone. He sounds much better and I think he is once again grateful for another chance at life. I am still on my little pity pot but will get myself through this with the help of my program. I am going to explain to Babe how I am feeling so that I don't harbor any bad feelings, fear being on the top of that list. One minute at a time.

    Lin, have fun at the wedding, dance the night away!!

    Anne, I didn't know what you meant until you wrote the nursery rhyme. *ussy cat *ussy cat. Most sites do edit language but sometimes their editing is just silly. I wish Facebook would edit more, I am tired of seeing the F bomb on peoples posts.

    Buzz, sorry about your foot, maybe a trip to the doctor is in order??

    Really tired today even with sleeping later, Robby seems to be wearing me out but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Her parents will be home December 3 until February, which will mean only two days a week while they are home. I am trying to plan a trip to Florida in December but that darn airfare is so expensive.

    Have a great day.
    Sandy
    One Day at a Time...minute or seconds lately
  • Sandy, I so admire your program benefits, like accepting your feelings and talking about it. You are not on the merry go round any more! You should have been called sooner.
    Buzz, I second or third the others. Let an orthopedic doctor examine your foot.
    Back to work

    I am having a cooking day, just finished egg muffins and doing soup right now. After that chili with ground deer
    meat. The weather here has cooled down a lot too but its sunny out.

    Dave is working on the canoe today and it will look awesome when he is done.

    MARIE - Our special Sneaker lady, have a wonderful day you deserve it!

    SANDY - I am glad Babe is on the mend and getting great care. You know the right thing to do with all the
    drama in Babe's life. Just be careful and don't get sucked in by the drama. I know you will be okay, but I
    worry about you.

    BUZZ - Good advice about the Ortho doctor, please go and see what is the problem with your foot.
    Thinking of you too.

    JERI - Thanks for all the lives you have given me for the Bubble Witch game but I uninstalled it, I couldn't
    keep up with all the games now I am down to only two. Have a great vacation and get some rest.

    LIN - Enjoy the wedding I guess I missed that you were going. Have fun!

    PATSY - I hope your daughter gets help with her health issues, now better than later. It will only get
    worse as time goes by. Thoughts are with you.
