It's quite mild here and on the usual morning trek across the moors I ended up first taking my hat off then unzipping my coat in spite of mist drifting about. The dogs had a great time and at one point George had one of his now famous Zen moments!
Anne, if I was you I would ask that any refund should be in installments since it was the tax office mistake. How cheeky to be claiming interest on it too. The good news on Betty's toilet training is she is holding on longer before peeing but the downside of that is a bigger puddle to clean up!! She has also discovered the plastic toggles on my coats and jackets so if I put one over the back of a chair she spends her day trying to chew them off... a real fixation! She's teaching me to be more tidy.
Sandy, at least 2 cars passed me when I was walking George's collar on a lead yesterday so goodness knows what they must have thought!
Lots to do so I'll wish everyone an enjoyable Saturday.

I think, when I get the bill, I'll just cough up JACKIE. You just can't win with ANY government. They insisted at the time their assessment was correct after me questioning it, and so I thought they are the experts and treated myself to two M&S shirts with the refund.
Jilly's joined George except instead of zen she's gone into hibernation mode! Had her brekkie then straight back to her basket and UNDER her blankie. Mark thinks this system will drift south. If not it's predicted to snow until Sunday.
Beautiful photo. I love the muted colours. Feel like getting my paints out of hibernation. Jill's forever slipping out of her collar so sympathies. It depends how thick her Pomeranian ruff is. Did George get a haircut recently? Betty will get there, but hard work until she does, again sympathies and at least you will have unique designer toggles.....sorry! Weird sense of humour!

Happy Saturday!
We ended up with about 5 inches of snow. They are out plowing so hopefully things will be clean enough for me to go to 5:00 Mass today. I have been working so hard on eating right and riding my bike but the weight comes off every so slowly, not like when you put it on. I have less than two months to get to my goal so wish me luck.
Anne, I would really be upset over the interest, are you sure a phone call wouldn't get it removed? Stay indoors with all the snow you are expecting, we don't want any falls.
Jackie, I am sure those drivers thought you were a little daffy or they saw George and just laughed and laughed. Betty will get the hang of it, just hope your patience hangs on. It took Daisy almost a year before she really got the hang of it so there is hope. Beautiful picture!!!
Lin, I am curious to how much snow you ended up with. Is today a stay in sort of day??
Hello to everyone else and have a cozy day.

Hello all! I have been cruising along from one little thing to the next all day. The snow removal guy has finally been here. I cleaned off around my overhead garage door earlier and should do it again before dark. Hopefully the garage door will open tomorrow should I decide to go out.
Lots of little loads of laundry out of the way, online bills paid and checks written and my biggest project is shoes. I have had a tendency to purchase shoes that I thought looked nice but due to foot problems, I could never wear them for more than a little while. And then I have a couple of pairs of shoes I wear all the time as they are just right in the support department and my orthotics fit. Today quite a number of pairs of the shoes that I consider my “one hour shoes” have been tossed out. Not all of them of course, I mean, I couldn’t rid myself of all of them. Some are still just too adorable. Haaaaaa. But it is progress.
Sandy, snowfall varied widely, I think we have about 7 inches around here. Lucky! A bit further to the South they received 12 inches and more. I hope you were able to get out. Our roads have been plowed but darn, it is cold out there! Take care.
Anne, what confusion regarding the taxes. I understand they can ask for a return of the money, although that seems bad form on their part after assuring you they were right. But it seems you should have been given an option to return the money BEFORE any interest should accrue. After all, you did not request the refund, and you did not know there had been an error until you received that letter. Quite unfair! I guess I would protest it.
Jackie, what a stupendous photo of George. He is a darling. Betty, very bad behaviors, she really is cutting loose now isn’t she.
Karen, all I can say is wow. It was great to read your posts on Facebook as you travelled but goodness, soon all 50 states! Magnificent! And so many positive steps for your health and your life. You must be proud. Well done!
Patsy, we have cold sunshine today. It is a whopping 11 degrees F. Feels colder than that. How would Katie care for that?
Buzz, we have the medicinal cannabis now in our state. I do not know any of the details. But I am hearing that whatever the level of THC allowed in the product is not sufficient to provide the needed pain relief. If the level is ever increased it will likely take a few years. Government, I just don’t know, many people are desperate for pain relief.
Marie, good day. Hoping you are well.
Jeri, having another busy weekend?
Well, should get after the snow again and maybe I have some mail by now.
Hugs all.
Lin

Hello All,
Nice to see you back Karen. Good news about your son.
Sandy - snow I’m at the stage in life I’d prefer no snow. But living in Calgary that would never happen.
Jackie - Love Love Love your picture.
We did have a very busy day. 11,054 steps. Anyone still counting steps. I got an Apple Watch for Christmas. Gave up my Garmin with misgivings but glad I did. I compete with my two daughters. It’s fun and most days their Mom beats them. LOL. But then my life is much simpler than theirs. I can’t believe how much energy Melissa burns every day.
Got to run.
Cheers
Jeri0 -
My darling friends,...I made it back! I need to ask if anyone has dealt with a very painful elbow? I think I'm really falling apart! Now it's the shoulder area and the left elbow, plus the left ankle and foot! Now that left elbow makes getting into the motorized chair a very painful move, I have to admit . I've suddenly turned into a mess! Heart and lungs seem fine. Following LIN's confession, I Biofreezed the elbow frequently all day, but it didn't work. The CBD no longer eases anything! I'm concerned about taking Aleve daily. Perhaps I'll Google elbow pain! Enough complaining, so nice to have KAREN Back, eh? And even better to follow her successes.
My MFP page keeps changing as I'm working on it! Sometime Ctrl/0 works to resize it, but often not! Perhaps this is just one of those "off" days! I awoke thinking it was Sunday for the 1st 1/2 hour! I think I'll get to bed now! Now my window is frozen and will not scroll!0 -
A snowy world outside, BUT, the Suns just burst into my living room, oh happy day. EXCEPT it's 3 degrees Fahrenheit (feels like minus - 11 F) and drops further later this afternoon.
Cheers from us - positively thinking

Anne, the sun, the Bean and a palm tree!0 -
A bright day although cool but when I reached the car park on the moors for our customary walk thick low cloud suddenly surrounded us. The car radio was playing Perry Como It's Impossible and for some reason my head and heart were suddenly transported back 40 years to my then partner and I dancing and singing to it in the kitchen at his cottage by the lake. He died a couple of years later. Wow it was an emotional couple of minutes... funny how a song or piece of music can smack you between the eyes after so many years but then off I went into the fog with the pooches.
A bit of a lazy Sunday for me but I will get a couple of jobs completed.
Buzz, no doubt you are regularly giving blood samples but so many conditions could be causing your pain where do you start? I'm so sorry it must all make you feel miserable. Tennis elbow? Not that I know a great deal about it. Do you take regular anti inflammatory drugs? If not it might be time to at least give them a trial.
Ooh Anne, snow as well as cold... At least your new furnace should keep you and the Bean cosy. Keep waving that palm tree!
Jeri, that's brilliant with all those steps, not something I got into after seeing my dog walking buddy become obsessive even to the point of walking on the spot.... it brings the little rebel out in me!
Sitting here at nearly 4pm already I'm getting cold hands so time to get on.
A happy Sunday to everyone, especially those I missed.
Jackie

Happy Sunday!! I am meeting Lisa and the kids at the Children's Museum so not a lot of time. It is very cold here as well Anne at 14 degrees and a RealFeel of minus 1. I chose an indoor activity for that reason. I must buy the tickets now so I will just say hi and bye.

Just been listening to a talk on the radio about sleep deprivation and why it's driving many of us bonkers.!
I don't suffer from sleep deprivation and here's what I do on going to beddy byes. It might help ?
About 60 years ago I started making up a story in my head and I've never got beyond the first chapter!
I seem to fall asleep at exactly the same point. There I am after starting at the beginning of this never finished tale sitting in front of a roaring log fire, cup of hot chocolate in hand and boom I'm dead to the world! Self hypnosis? Dunno, but it works.
JACKIE, what a beautiful memory! Well worth the tears I'm sure it brought.
BUZZ I agree with JACKIE, please do take those anti inflammatory drugs, why suffer?
I ended up opening the front door to show The Bean the snow AND the cold, really to stop her looking hopeful for walkies and pestering me. It worked, you've never seen a small dog leap back into her basket AND she took Dino and purple baby rubber bone with her.
Mike cleared my drive of the FIRST light snowfall on Friday, but then we got plastered throughout Saturday and into Sunday. Mark is texting he will come over this afternoon to take a look but I don't want him to because of his back pain which has driven him off work again. The worst is when he sits at the firms computer all day. Any connection to Mark with your pain BUZZ? Sitting too long in one position?
Well must away after consuming a plateful of home fries, an egg, and veggies. I'll never be skinny! If Mark does roll up I will be out there helping him! In which case I'll be joining everyone else with joint pains.
Bye,

Hello, too cold for me today. I stayed home from church. It is snowing very lightly so not too cold to snow. It has warmed up to 7 degrees F. I am watching some episodes of “Lewis” and am working on cards (of course).
Jeri, I wear both a Fitbit and an Apple Watch so I have loads of metrics urging me onward each day. Not only steps, but active minutes, active hours, flights of stairs, exercise calories, hours standing. Keeps me on my toes! Haaaaaaa. I guess it keeps me active so it’s a good thing.
Sandy, enjoy your afternoon indoors. Best option today. I never had either of my vehicles checked over before the winter weather started. The mileage on each vehicle didn’t warrant a trip for an oil change but I may have to check in with at least one dealership to see when was the last time I was there and what has they recommended that I didn’t take care of. Estimated oil life is still 100% which seems strange.
Anne, thinking warm thoughts here as well but have hot tea and an electric heater at hand. I hope you find a snow removal service. Any chance checking with your neighbors to see who they use?
Jackie, oh my yes, you never know when something will trigger loads of good or bad memories. I am sorry if that left you feeling sad. You are so industrious, I am not! I apparently do not have the proper genes to structure my life and my tasks. Always in some amount of chaos.
Buzz, eons ago I did have tennis elbow. It really was from playing tennis coupled with an improper stroke. Anyway, I used an elbow wrap, took anti-inflammatory medications, used topical remedies, cutback on the hours of play and eventually it got better. In those days I took as much over the counter pain reliever as I wanted, I am lucky to have a liver at this point as I used Tylenol like candy. I hope you find something to relieve the discomfort.
Patsy, happy weekend to you! And hello to John and Katie.
Marie, best wishes flying your way. I know football has lost its glow since a certain loss not to be named. Anyone left you could possibly pull for in the short term?
Karen, hello, hello. I trust you are well and enjoying the weekend.
Hugs all round.
Lin0 -
Jilly endlessly barking.
Went to see why.
Mark clearing the drive.
Went to help him.
All done.
I'm inside now trying to warm up.
It's bitterly cold with the wind.
The neighbours do their own snow removal LIN. In fact Harry is playing with his mechanical snow blower as I sit here watching him and trying to warm up. Actually I'm awfully lucky that I can still shovel! I count my blessings.
Anne
PS I did offer to pay him to do my six or more car drive last year, but he didn't want the job. And in truth Mark and I are quicker by hand.1 -
Was up all night trying to figure out how to ice the elbow. Now I'm on y way down to the nurse as it's the size of a golf ball and all blue and purple and everyone yelled about my not taking care of it so I'm off. Ha time to speak to DS and DDIL in Germany a few minutes ago. Read some posts and appreciate your concern, and yes, I will do something right now!
Buzz 1 -
Brrrrrrrrrrtr! Oh my gosh! Those temps and the ice and snow....please be careful and make emergency plans if the power goes out. In addition to all the political mess, we can’t stress the first responders much further.
Our weather has been okay. We are holding our breath because our coast guard is doing everything possible to keep things operating and with no pay. God Bless them!
I also had a very bad night. I keep wondering if it is related to barometric pressure. I also wonder if dear Buzz could have those arthritis bone deposits near a nerve? I have areas in my feet, shoulder and elbow that get inflamed and ache, burn, and drive me up the wall. My less than sympathetic doctor tells me to toughen up Buttercup. No help there. Exercise is always his first prescription. Good sound advice but there are times when I would really like a magic pill.
Chicken enchiladas with a hot spicy sauce that will warm the inside as we try to wear sweaters to keep our outside warm.
May the force be with you, dear earthlings,
Patsy1 -
What exactly are antiinflammatory pills? I take Aleve, and worry about it! My Dr generally follows PATSY's but there is no way I could exercise today! I can barely walk without screaming! I tried heat, as the nurse suggested, but putting my elbow on the gelpad was impossibly painful! I see the doc around 11:00 AM tomorrow morning, and I desperately need some form of sleep! Love you all! Buzz

Oh dear Anne, while I've enjoyed a cool but pleasant stroll across the moors. No walking for you today.
Oops, just found my application form to renew my driving licence now I'm about to hit another milestone. They want a photo too so I think I'll get that done after my hair appointment on Wednesday!!
Buzz, the Aleve you take is the same drug as my Naproxen, an anti inflammatory but it does only take the edge off and sometimes not even that. I'm also prescribed a daily gastro resistant capsule that lines my stomach to avoid damage from the Naproxen. What you are describing sounds far more than arthritic inflammation so I'm hoping as much as you that the doctor has answers this morning. Exercise is always good if you can push past the pain... not at all easy I know.
Did anyone get to see the super moon last night? It was apparently a blood moon too around 4am our time and would you believe I woke up around that time but decided not to bother to step into my frost garden for a look!
Lots of housework today so nothing exciting. Coffee finished so let the cleaning begin!! Happy Monday and I propose we all ignore any mention of a "Blue Monday"!!
Jackie0 -
There is a Facebook page, Friends of the Dales. Here’s what they posted this morning regarding the moon.
“Clear skies in the Dales for the eclipse of the super blood wolf moon”

I gather aleve is an anti inflammatory drug BUZZ and at my age I would take it if I needed to. Why suffer if the pain can be relieved. I sincerely hope the doctor comes up with some answers today and, pain free, you get a good nights sleep tonight. God bless.
I'm afraid Jill is using pee pads today. She has such tiny lungs I don't want her sniffing around the garden. I remember when we first came over with Puss Thelly we were told not to let him out on extremely cold days and The Bean is smaller than most cats. She loves going out in the snow so this won't be easy keeping her in. There's no footprints in the snow from rabbits, raccoons, squirrels etc so I think they are all tucked away in hibernation.
I WAS going to look at the super blood wolf moon last night but the warm duvet beckoned instead. Maybe tonight?
Annie.0 -
JACKIE, I've just found "Blue Monday" on the weather channel and the words associated with the day. I particularly liked the one describing chattering teeth. I'd never heard of Blue Monday, the third Monday in January, and I'm happy to report The Bean and I are quite joyous despite the day and the cold, she grabbing my duster and floor cloth and me chasing her around the coffee table. Ignorance is bliss again!
Annie.0 -
Happy Monday! Add me to those with freezing temps so I plan on just staying in and recouping from my day with the kiddos. I am sitting tomorrow and Wednesday so I need to get my energy back. I did watch the blood moon and it was something to see. This is the best I could get with my camera phone but still very pretty.
Anne, yes please try to keep Jilly in with those temps. I don't remember pee pads when my dogs were puppies, it is a great invention. With you and Jackie talking about cleaning I guess I should do that as well as my cleaning girl doesn't come until next week.
Lin, what a great photo of the eclipse, it was an interesting event not to happen again for another ten years so I thought I would make an effort to see it. What are your plans for the day?
Jackie, you should have peeked at the moon, it was worth the cold air. I also have to renew my driver's license but I also have to take the driving test which is why I am waiting for a warmer, drier and sunny day. I do have until my birthday in March.
Buzz, I agree that you should take some aleve to help with the pain. I do hope your doctor prescribes something stronger for the pain. Keep us informed but only if it isn't painful.
Patsy, you do make some interesting foods, you must be a great cook. I am glad someone is having pleasant weather, I can hardly wait for Spring.
Jeri, I do have a fitbit but I am lucky if I get 5000 steps. I am not a big walker but I do ride my recumbent bike for exercise. When is the next doctor's appointment?
Karen, what a wonderful miracle for your son and you to reconnect. I was in awe of you almost visiting all the States, what a great adventure.
Have a great day everyone and stay warm.
Sandy

Hello friends. Well, I ducked out to do a couple of errands and am now home. Lord, just a bit of wind and I am frozen through. Layers, gloves, ear muffs, fleeced lined shoes but still have frozen hands and feet. So the list ended quickly. Tomorrow may see freezing drizzle, snow and/or wind. So the Mah Jongg game may not happen in the morning. Side streets are total ice. Argh. Okay, enough weather description. Due to the holiday, there was no Tai Chi/Qigong this morning. I miss it although I have done several forms here at home.
When my hands warm up I will be back to working on cards again. I am coloring a dozen panels and each takes quite a bit of time. Six are finished and now I am trying a different approach, coloring all six at one time as I work through the colors I have been using. So far, no faster!
Jackie, you are always productive. Hoping to grab your inspiration and apply it just a little bit! Hello to George and Betty.
Sandy, rest up. You will need some energy! Your photo is lovely. Well done. I decided to rely on news coverage and Facebook posts of the moon which would be better than any photo I could get from my limited view here in the suburbs.
Anne, oh my, now I believe the news reports saying the temperatures are dangerous. The wind has us below zero in wind chill. I don’t see many dog walkers today, in fact, none come to think of it. Stay safe.
Buzz, I hope the doctor has decided what is going on with your elbow. When you mentioned discoloration, purple I think you said, I wondered if you injured it somehow. Anyway, praying there is an answer to this. Hugs.
Patsy, I agree, you are a gourmet cook! I am astounded at everything you make. Are you and Katie spending much time in the dungeon?
Jeri, hello. You are always busy. And doing very lovely things, often with family. Wonderful.
Karen, hello!
Marie, hugs and best wishes.
Other Sneakers, Chris, Diane, Gayla, and anyone else who posted here before, stop by and say hello. I still miss Shirley and Phoebe.
Hugs

Hello everyone! Hope we are all safe and warm. The weather really challenges our body. Can we stay well and active and warm under these conditions? I am cranking along but I really feel the cold dampness. We have partly cloudy and cold temps. But we do see periods of sun. Yea.
I will be doing that Monday thing all day...laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, and hopefully, mopping the kitchen. John is in charge of the big weekly vacuuming. He really goes after it! After our windy storms, we have carpets of pine needles outside. Of course they get tracked into the house by everyone, including dear Katie. I am taking a small coffee break before cleaning the shower glass door. That is a chore! Looks great when sparkling clean. Looks nasty when spotted and cloudy with water spots.
The moon photos were amazing. I didn’t awake to see it. We most probably had clouds in any case. Thanks for sharing the pixs.
Today is MLK Day. I do honor those civil rights heros. Also the musicians and artists, and writers that have enriched our American culture. We are a multi-race country. Diversity is a wonderful thing.
Make today count!

PATSY, saw my doctor this morning and he took one look at my elbow and said "Oh my, bursitis!". Prescribed anti-inflammatory (Aleve, but not Ibuprofen) and will have my elbow treated to remove liquid. Meantime, I'm back to my Professional BioFreeze 4 times a day. He was not very encouraging about the shoulder, since he feels that is arthritis. But I did learn that the medication I take for Restless Leg Syndrome causes edema, heavy swelling, and I sure have that!.....I wonder if you have one of those doctors who is not sympathetic to women? My last doctor fell into that category! Have you seen either a female M.D. or a rheumatologist?jwubben6600 wrote: »I also had a very bad night.

JACKIE, I hadn't realized your special partner was deceased! So sorry, and Mike and I used to break into dance whenever we heard Perry Como, too! He was Mike's favorite entertainer, and we never missed his visits to our Theater in the Round! Sweet painful memories! Was this in Canada? Thanks for mentioning that Rx for lining the stomach; I'll ask about i!
ANNIE, I forgot about the blood moon last night! I'm sure I. too, would have chosen the duvet! I have a difficult time imagining how really tiny the Bean is! Smaller than a cat? And older than a puppy! And irresistibly adorable!
EVerybody, I cannot continue typing as it's too painful, so I send many hugs and kisses and am off to bed! My empathy to those of you in the deep freeze! Buzz

Hello BUZZ, so glad you have at least got some answers to all the pain. I truly hope everything will soon be on the mend, and already started. Yes, Jilly Bean is quite a little miss with fairly short legs which don't keep her tummy quite out of the snow depending on depth of course. What surprises me is how intelligent she is when you imagine the size of her brain. Don't laugh but we swear she tries awfully hard to talk with various throaty noises when we talk to her, and when Michael leaves us he always says "bye bye" and she always answers with a "ba ba" which honestly sounds just like "bye bye". Talk about doting human dog mums! Anyway she's brightened my life enormously after all my old friends departed for senior care or that other place!
It's still jolly cold, but the temperature should slowly rise as the day goes on and hopefully tomorrow we will be able to trot to the mailboxes and further. Terrible tragedy in Montreal. One of the past parliamentary leaders mothers was in a seniors home there at age 93. She woke in the night to the sound of the fire alarm which turned out was a false alarm. Following the drill she went outside into the terrible cold. The police think she then realized it was an error and tried to re enter but the door had locked behind her and she couldn't get back inside. She was found in the morning on the doorstep and she had died from hypothermia. Sorry to tell you such a sad, sad story but it makes one realize just how cold it has been.
Over the two frigid days not a sniff of any other dogs out walking. I bet the sale of pee pads rose dramatically because there are quite a few small pooches around here.
Think spring (although I'm not looking forward to another hot summer),

Hello all. Freezing drizzle has arrived. Storm watches, advisories, etc, until tomorrow morning. Freezing rain, snow and wind, lovely combination. So, another day at home as Mah Jongg is cancelled once again. I will be working on cards again. I took a break yesterday and organized copies and materials for the Chinese New Years party. Almost finished with the coloring for the cards I am making. Wahoo!
Buzz, oh goodness, bursitis. I know nothing about that. I trust your doctor is doing everything possible to resolve this issue. All best wishes and prayers for more comfortable days.
Jackie, come back to us when you are connected. And I trust that will be soon.
Patsy, now the house is sparkling once again, what is on your agenda for today? I guess I never thought much about it but as a child I lived in a white neighborhood and went to a white school and attended a white church. We were in a new suburb and that is how the area grew. Now I live in an older suburb and in our two block area many ethnic groups and religions live together with no problems. Times have changed.
Anne, best wishes to you and your little one. The news this morning featured a little story on keeping your dog safe in the cold weather. They emphasized keeping to very short periods of time outside. They didn’t limit that advice to owners of small dogs but all dogs. Gosh, my Huskies loved the outdoors in the winter and we walked every morning. Now I would likely be arrested for animal abuse.
Sandy, hello. Stay safe as you look after the little ones.
Karen, Hello! How is your weather?
Marie, thinking of you and hoping things are working out. Good to see you on Facebook more often.
Jeri, best wishes. Keep on beating everyone on your step count.
Hugs all round.

Here I am, back on the internet after what was a most straightforward process. Once I had unplugged and disconnected the old system that had wires and boxes trailing everywhere it seemed a good time to clean, wipe and dust round before connecting the new box.... oh bliss, just one with a single cable. My iphone picked up immediately and now I've keyed in the password for this laptop and it's as if I was never away!!
I am now going to get on with a blitz in my dining room that has been a dumping area since before Christmas. Not only can't I find things but I'm knocking items off the table or walking into obstructions all the time and getting grumpy, only with myself of course because it's not the fault of anyone else!
Anne, what a tragic story from Montreal but surely the staff should have done a head count of their clients rather than assume no one reacted to the alarm. A story with a different ending was when a friend went into hospital to have a stent implanted and in the night crept outside for a cigarette only to find he couldn't get back in. Lucky for him after a half hour a doctor walked past and guided him to the main entrance lecturing him all the way about his filthy smoking habit!! Too cold, too hot, our little furry friends have to be cossetted either way!
Buzz, at least, thank goodness, you have a diagnosis and hopefully a lot can be done to relieve your pain and it's definitely worth adding medication to protect your stomach. As a pensioner I am entitled to free prescriptions but gather this can be bought over the counter too so not expensive.
Yes, I met John (real name Janis with a silent 'J' but changed it to the Western equivalent because he was fed up with being called Janice!!) in Canada and we were together 8 years before he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Although I did get into a couple of relationships over the following years no one really compared plus my fault, I didn't try too hard and my independence scared them off!!
Hi LIN, just spotted you. Good, stay home where you are safe.
It's a bleak day, cold and wet so I walked the dogs in the local woods to avoid being hammered by the sleet and hail that arrived with the rain. My plan to get started in the dining room clear up begins now.....
Hello to everyone. Take care on the ice and snow.

Happy Tuesday!! The weather forecast is calling for the same weather as Lin's but I am hoping it isn't for my area as I am sitting for kids this afternoon. Lisa is reading for Robby's class and then later she is going to her meeting and Rob doesn't get home in time.
I have been really good on riding my bike everyday and watching my carbs but the pounds don't seem to move, so discouraging. I will not give up, I am determined.
Jackie, I too would like a new modem, I currently rent mine from Comcast but would prefer to own my own. I will have to wait for my son to come and change it for me as I am not sure what to buy. Your "love" story sounds wonderful and I am so sorry you lost John at such a young age.
Lin, I would prefer to stay home today but I know Lisa is counting on me so will battle the elements. At least you have time to make all your cards without being under pressure.
Anne, what a horrible story and believe it or not the same thing happened at a local nursing home here years ago. The lady got confused and went outside in the cold and couldn't get back in even though if I remember right there were alarms on the doors to prevent this from happening. Very sad.
Buzz, I too am happy the doctor was able to tell you what is causing your pain and once it is drained it should feel better. Don't be afraid of aleve I am sure it will be short term. I take a sleep aid every night and worry what is is doing to my liver but a good night's sleep is worth it too me. When I go for my yearly check up in March I will find out how my liver is doing.
Patsy, well I never cleaned the house, I was too busy playing games and riding my bike. Oh well it will always be here and with no company only I can see the dust. lol
Marie, Karen and Jeri, hello to you and hope all is going well in your lives.
Have a good day.

Found this on google:
At issue is how Wentworth, who had been suffering from symptoms of dementia, could have left her room and the building without staff members noticing, Cairo said. Wentworth was found dressed only in a hospital gown after being outside for at least 90 minutes, still wearing an ankle bracelet that should have triggered an alarm when she went through an exit door, authorities said.
Assistant DuPage County State's Atty. Mary Cronin said Leon, the on-duty nursing assistant, responded by turning the alarm off and returning to a lounge to watch the television show "Dog the Bounty Hunter" without checking on any residents.0
