Heather congrats on your apartment finally settling. Also sorry I got you mixed up. My favorite store, Christopher is having a sale and you get 50% off one item. They have some lovely leather jackets, one of them red. I just can't see putting out that much money for a red coat that can only be used with certain outfits. So I didn't buy it. But as I was checking out a little old lady was buying it. I'm sure she will look chic in it.
I think I spoke to soon on Charlie's medicine. He has gone to the bathroom way to many times today. About 8 last night and about that same time during the day. I also have had some suspicious stools today. Gone several times, each one looser than they one before. Our Sunday school class is having their lunch tomorrow. I am hesitant in going and possibly exposing these old ladies to something like C Diff.

UPDATE: while I was on my way to pick up the bike I got a call from somebody at good Samaritan hospital in Puyallup. St. Joseph Hospital refused him not thinking that he qualified or was a good candidate. Good Samaritan what they were and so I guess he's going there once they confirm his insurance information0

Mary: I've never had blood pressure issues other than it was sometimes too low. It was low enough to make me dizzy if I stood up too fast. I do have problems with acid reflux and have been taking medication for it for decades. Acid reflux gave me a burning sensation behind the point where my bra crosses my chest, and occasionally acid burps. It was quite painful. I've been taking medication every day for years that keeps it under control. I took Nexium for many years until my insurance company decided it was too expensive and substituted pantoprazole. It works well enough if I don't eat stupidly. The over the counter Nexium is about half the strength of the dose I took.
Heather: CONGRATULATIONS on the exchange. At last! :bigsmile:
Sylvia: Good luck at Costco. DS and DH shared a card for a long time but were eventually caught. They have the same first and last names. The cards have your picture on them but nobody seemed to notice that my son didn't look like his picture for a very long time. If you look like your friend & pay cash it might work. If you go with your friend there would be no problems getting in, & you could pay her back for the things you purchase. :flowerforyou:
Becca: Thanks for the laugh! :laugh:
Grits: I love this, "Faith is 'knowing' that a net will appear when you let go." Thank you for sharing it.
Pip: Kirby's bike looks undamaged. I wish he wasn't hurt in the accident, either. I'm keeping him in my prayers. You're there, too. :flowerforyou:
Blood draw and spin tomorrow. The lab opens at 7:30 so I think I'll go there first and get it out of the way. I'm hoping that changes I made were effective at lowering the amount of calcium in my blood. In a perfect world, my bone density would be better, or at least holding steady. I won't find that information out until the next time I have a bone scan in a year or two. :ohwell:

Pip – the bike looks great – you’d never guess! So is Good Sam closer to home than where Kirby is now? I can only think that St. Joe’s thinks he is getting better too quick and they will not get enough insurance money….
Good plan on the bike, and if they can give you an estimate the crud who hit Kirby’s insurance should have to pay.
Joyce – C.diff is nothing to play around with a friend had it and was in isolation at the hospital for 5 days… I think staying home while not fun is the appropriate thing to do.
So I have been working on things for the craft faire and will post pictures in time, but today did the front of a pillow and it came out better than I hoped so am posting a picture of the embroidery, this was done on my machine and is about 7inches x 7 inches… So you who are into horses should I make more than one of these? and as a 14 inch square pillow how much would you spend?

Sylvia - Sorry about your long and fruitless sitting in line. If it's any consolation, I attended an event in norther Norway a few years ago, and Bill Clinton - famous orator that he is - was totally upstaged by Hans Blix (who headed the UN commission that was searching Iran for evidence of weapons of mass destruction).
Heather - three rousing cheers for exchange!
Must go out shopping now. We don't go to events that require business attire very often and my husband's suits have a nasty habit of shrinking in the closet when he isn't watching.

Hello to all my wonderful friends. I am plugging along with a lot of pain and tingling in my legs in spite of the prescription from the doctor. Just like so many of you with pain and challenges, I am taking it one day at a time. I have read all the posts and cheered and cried with you. I appreciate having you in my life. Barbie

Miriam and Gayle, I have a couple of hundred pieces just sitting around not listed. Weiss, Hobe, Carnegie, Trifari, Coro, Napier, Tullia Both, and Eisenberg to name a few plus many unsigned. When I retired from teaching in 2007, I started listing on my Dh's account and then started my own. At first it was lots of fun but over the past year I have lost interest and just dabble. My best find ever was two sets of Pools of Light rock crystal necklaces and earrings in their original boxes from the 1920's. I am hoping that someday the market will open up again for good sales. Right now, I think folks are loving the imported from China fancy stuff that you see in many of the antique malls and department stores. Please forgive if this is too much info.
Do you still have??? They say the economy is better but I'm not seeing it. Gayle Minneapolis0 -
Hi Barbiecat - love the sign. I'm trying to deal with 'forgiveness - so that their behavior does not destroy my life. That's been hard to do sometimes. Gee, I wish I could get this thread to show up for me in the community without having to make a new icon on my desktop. That is such a pain it the fanny!0

Barbie - so sorry that you are still struggling with the pain and tingling. Praying and sending good thots that they can get to the bottom of the cause and get you some relief.

- is that Good Sam hospital is further away from hom, bout 11 or more miles, st joes would have been a lot closer. When rocky was alive I used to volunteer there and take him to go visit patients in the rehab floor. Rocky is the dog in my profile pic
+ is that I work in the town where the hospital is0 -
FINALLY ... got my thread to work like is supposed to be doing - so I only have to log in once to get to all of it. Food Diary and Community.0

- I am going to show someone I know that is really into horses and ask. Beautiful work by the way0

Kim: I think there would be an active market for your horse among horse crazy girls and the adults who want put a smile on their faces. I can see the horses framed, or as pillows. A sentimental parent or grandparent might give the little girl in their life a horse to dream on. :flowerforyou:0
-
Barbie - I hope they get to the bottom of your pain. I love the forgiveness quote. Nice way to think about it.
Kim - my DD would love a pillow with the horse embroidered on it. I don't know how much someone would pay for it though. I looked them up on line and they were 20-30 dollars. Embroidered ones were $30. You do such beautiful work!
Pip - I'm sorry that Kirby will be further from home. Hopefully he will soon be home where he belongs.
Grits - glad that you figured out how to get MFP to work for you. What a relief!
Kimses2 - M&M's how dangerous is that!
Katla - thanks for the feedback. She thinks she might have gallbladder problems.
We got the living and dining room primed. That was a chore! I had to use a paint brush to get into all of the groves. I figure I have 4-5 more days until I get done with it.

Baby sat DGD this a.m. so that DD could help Larry on a job. He shouldn't be working yet but the man has never listened to medical advice. Tomorrow he gets his staples out. DGD and I had a fantastic time with play doh. All kinds of things were built.
I didn't stray far from the house today. The snow coming down just made me want to bury myself under the blankets.
Back to work tomorrow.

Pip, hope the bike is fixable. Although the bike may hold bad memories for Kirby and difficult to ride. I really don't see that though. Both you and him have such positive energy.
I haven't had any 'issues' this evening or night at all. My family doc said one time that I have IBS, not IBD but just syndrome. I have symptoms but they are so off and on that it didn't warrant a diagnosis. So I think I just had a bad bowel afternoon only. So I will go to lunch with the ladies. My sister is very technologically challenged and her husband bought this $49 RCA tablet last year for Christmas. It looks nothing like my computer, laptop or iPad so when she calls asking me for help it is so hard to help. Her question tonight was how do you request a friend on Facebook? i was hoping that once you get to a person's face book page it would look the same as on my laptop but apparently it doesn't. So after lunch I will hop on over there.
I did some face book stalking today on my ex son in law. He has gotten pretty fat since they divorced. He is divorced again. His new wife cheated on him. Now he can understand what he made my daughter go through.
I can't remember if it is Katla or DJ who is traveling to Kentucky for the holidays. What part of Kentucky? If it is close maybe we can meet up???? I live in extreme southwestern Indiana, right on the Indiana/Illinois/Kentucky border.

Morning ladies~
yesterday was an ok day...we have a dead tree that we left up at work down near the inlet.. for the eagles,herons and osprey to land on..
well our land lady gave the ok to have it cut down.. the people that rent the upstairs asked for it to be cut..
now you know both the troll and Diane are making it very difficult for them upstairs.. well the troll finally had a bit of karma come back to her yesterday..
the landladies sister called and chewed her out a new one, that was sort of inappropriate , because all Mary posted was where will the Eagles land now..
but all the scuttlebutt that Mary and Diane have stirred up with Kim upstairs and Lisa(landlady) has to referee.has come to bite them in the butt.. Texted Kim and told her I am staying out of all this stuff.. when I work the weekend after next I have to get a gift certificate for my DSIL for her Birthday.
today is crazy at work, I will be lucky to get lunch today..
Tom is Tom~ going along just thinking this is the way things are supposed to be..
things just going along normally but nothing to do with emotions,no love.. except to the dogs of course.
he will be gone for 10 days so he will have time by himself to figure out things..
and Yes I will have time to figure out what I want too..0 -

Kim, love the embroidered horse. You are so talented!0

Kim beautiful horse.
Joyce continued prayers for you and Charlie.
Pip prayers for your and Kirby. Bike looks good considering what happened.
Heather congrats on the exchange! Margaret 0 -
Barbie... Sorry you're still struggling with pain.
Kim ... 19.99 - 29.99 ... Depending on how much embroidery I would think. But I'm cheap. I saw quite a few online in the $60 range ... too rich for my blood even if they are priced appropriate.
Pip ... Glad to hear Kirby is mending quickly. You take care not to undo your mending!
Miriam ... Interesting information regarding bipolar.
Margaret ... Thinking about you and your husband.
Betty ... There is some horrible crud floating around our area already ... Seems to take several weeks to start feeling better. Hang in there.
Rori ... Thinking of you and your husband also.
Events in my household have been chaotic. Trying not to become overwhelmed .... Staying on track is a challenge right now, but working at it day by day.
