    Mary from MN: I am so glad you were able to post. February seems like a long time to wait for a medical check up, but it gives your current medication a chance to get the job done. That makes sense to me. (((HUGS)))

    Rita: I had a UTI in the long ago past and it was a tough thing to get rid of back when antibiotics were more effective than they are now. I finally conquered it and have been lucky to never have it again. These days too many infections have become resistant to antibiotics. I hope yours goes away and stays gone. :flowerforyou:

    Heather: I am so sorry you're having a tough time just now. This season seems to me like a double whammy--high stress and short days without enough sunshine to keep our moods stable and positive. Your DH's family drama adds to the challenge for the two of you. I begin to envy my cousin who has become a snowbird in AZ. The stresses are still there no matter where you go, but at least they have more daylight and chances for natural Vitamin D from sunshine. I think they have also avoided some of the day to day worries of their adult children. :ohwell: (((HUGS)))

    Penny: I love the photos of your grandchildren. Leo is quite the chef. :heart:

    Ann262: I love your advice on dog training. Our guy is 9, very healthy, and a real gentleman. I hope he lives to be very old but expect that someday there will be a pup in our future. I don't want to be without a dog in my life. :heart:

    Jess: Welcome to a great group. I can't imagine eating out every meal. Perhaps you can get a microwave/oven and a crockpot. They'd give you a more control over your meals while your kitchen is under construction. Good luck with the remodel. :flowerforyou:

    Carol: Your Pom is a cutie.


    I started the day with a walk with my former neighbor, and it was a real pleasure. She's one of those friends with whom I can talk about anything and everything. It was a good time. We're supposed to be Tuesday/Thursday walkers but she's traveling on Thursday and we need to take that day to go to the cemetery with wreaths for my parents. It is a long drive and will take all day for the round trip. I like to go at Christmas time and Memorial Day.

    I've finished Christmas shopping for my daughter and grandchildren except that I think I have one too few gifts for DGD as compared to her little brother. I'm brainstorming solutions but it isn't a very good storm yet and hasn't produced anything useful. She's 5 and in kindergarden.

    Charleen-Yes, I use positive reinforcement in all my training. I have trained two Labradors to Master Agility Champions and Utility Dog. It is the only way to go as far as I am concerned. I LOVE goldens and they are the top pick for Obedience competition. I can't tell you how many times my Hartley is the only black dog surrounded by goldens during group stays in Open Obedience. Black Gold!

    Well I finally got my charger for my iPad so I can use it. It was down to about 15% and was reluctant to use it.

    My scope this afternoon didn't show anything helpful so my family doc will have to go back to the drawing board as to finding cause of anemia. All it showed was gastritis and hiatal hernia. Will more than likely go home tomorrow but I am still not able to sleep flat and that concerns me. I hope starting tomorrow all this clot, or whatever it is called inside my nose will come out easily, safely and soon. That is a big reason why I can't lie flat. Oh, the scope. Wow Because of the pneumonia the doctor putting me to sleep couldn't give me the usual stuff. So he gave me Ketamine. It can cause dreams. I call them horrific trips. When I woke up, I was on a very fast merry go round inside a snow globe that was. Wing very fastest and quickly shaken. I was terrified. I told the nurse I thought it was be LSD although I have never been on an LSD trip to compare it by. When. Looked it up on the Internet, it has a lot of street names! Kids love this!!!!!

    Heather and Allie, I haven't read back to see what is going on but I am story and hope you the best. Sherry, you are the bomb!

    Well, time to look at the menu and call. That one thing about this hospital, whenever you want. Food, just call down. Want French toast for supper, ok, just say so.

    Joyce, still coughing. In Imdiana

    Good evening ladies.
    Joyce- take care, so sorry you are still in the hospital.
    We did some last minute shopping and I got some new jeans (down one size). Almost ready for our trip on Thursday.
    Not much going on around here so I will check in tomorrow

    Gals, Gals... Sheesh!

    My work is crazy busy, and I hardly have time to think, much less post with my peeps. I got a random assignment today that was like somebody was passing a hot potato... er, we don't know what to do with it - HEY! Let's give it to RE... She will figure it out!

    LOL - not so much - but, I have to finish explaining what I can and giving them the next shove on the list.

    And, of course, it's for a meeting they are having with upper management TOMORROW... way to plan ahead, people.

    *sighs*

    I have been reading - I hope all you sickies feel better and Whoot! for smaller pants and walking wonders.

    Keep the pictures coming! (Even if I can't see them until I get home.)

    Hugs for Everybody!

    Barbie – Fasting is not good for anyone. My mother was a teacher and she could tell which kids ate breakfast and which ones did not. Breakfast … “Break Fast”. Eight to ten hours at night (sometimes long after your supper has ‘gone down’ can be a long time for most people. Even now, I always eat ‘something’ as breakfast. If I don’t I usually have a ‘migraine’ or get ‘dizzy and nauseous’.


    Janetr OKC – My Mother (and my Daddy) loved Christmas. They’d decorate a tree that brushed the ceiling at 11’ … had to be ordered by A&P; but, every year was more beautiful than the last. Then after we all left home, she got a more manageable artificial tree; one year she decorated one with nothing but crotched snowflakes and white lights and another one in the foyer with colored lights and colorful decorations, a lot of them hand-painted by her. I got her macramé tree she made; and, that is what we use for our Christmas tree for the past 2 years. Doesn’t take up any room and still relatively easy to get into the bedroom when we need to.


    Sherry – It could be a ‘tornado warning’ siren. I know we have them in various places around this area … not one real close to us; but, within a certain range … you can definitely hear them. Yes, they do sort of sound like the ‘air raid’ sirens. How we hated those things during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Laying in a ‘fetal’ position, on newspaper until it was over. Like that would do us any good. I remember one family (with a child in my grade) made a huge fuss about having an underground shelter built. My Daddy just laughed at it. Would not be anything around if we got hit, why bother? I did not understand why Daddy would not build us one; but, now I do.
    I’ve had ‘night terrors’ and mine usually are brought on by my medications getting ‘out of whack’. I will usually bolt upright screaming at the top of my lungs. It takes DH a little bit to calm me down. I always have a ‘fear’ of someone I love dying … almost like I have heard the phone ring in the middle of the night. I tell DH sometimes, “Sweetie, please talk me down.” I sometimes have an ‘aura’; but, have the ‘same sort of aura’ when I am about to have a seizure, too. So it is a little scary all the way around.

    I think cats are ‘in a world to themselves’. We have taught our boy how to give us a “High 5” in order to get food. He has allergies and his nose will run and then he loses his voice for a week. It is funny because he ‘opens’ his mouth like he is meowing; but, nothing comes out. I think you have to really start very early with a cat. Their personality is sort of like, ‘if you want to pet me, you’ll have to come over here’. They don’t normally come ‘on command’.

    If I did not have insurance … I’d probably be in ‘long-term care’. One of my medications I take is $1200 without insurance. We could NOT afford my total medications. Something would just have to ‘give’. I have not checked into what Medicare would cover under their Part D coverage; or if they would pay some and then insurance would pay the remainder.

    I have to laugh when someone talks about 1-finger typing. I took typing in HS after I told my Trig teacher (an unemployed engineer) what I ‘thought about his ‘teaching technics’ and walked out after dropping my closed book from head level. That got his attention. He’d turn around after calling roll, open up a newspaper, put his feet on the chalk board eraser tray and ignore us completely. Since 8th grade AP Algebra … I had all the 4 math credits I needed to graduate. He asked me where I thought I was going. I told him to transfer to typing because AT LEAST I would be able to always get a job. Counselor really wanted me to take Latin or French. NADAH; won’t pay the bills. I can type and look at the TV at once, once I have my ‘fingers on the home keys’. I can’t do squat when it comes to typing on my cellphone. I hit the wrong keys all the time. I hate it. Typing for me, is extremely relaxing – as most of you can probably tell; that, and I ‘like’ to talk.


    Katla – I had a seizure in August of this year; and my appointment is this Thursday. Try to top that. Worst seizure I have ever had … and they could not work me in. I am not particular happy; but, I guess if I showed up at the ER, they’d come see me. Maybe. I don’t remember anything after the seizure. I know that 3 ambulances got sent, 2 of them got stuck. I was probably already at the ER by the time the third one showed up. Could not even ‘cancel’ the call. They ‘had’ to come see about me, never mind that my DDnL#1 had called and canceled it (probably about the time they were sending them out the 3rd time). Has something to do with ‘liability’. Next time, if it is raining or has been, they’ll be told ‘how’ to get here and not depend on their GPS for the ‘closest’ way to get here. Doesn’t do you any good if they cannot get to you.


    Rita – Cranberry Juice


    Katla – A ‘simple’ puzzle (wooden) … easy but still a bit challenging. Five-year-olds are sort of hard to buy for. A book, one that can be read to her now; and, maybe start a series about now. Like “Nancy Drew” or that type of series. My Mother always gave her grands a ‘book’ at Christmas. Books-A-Million or Barnes & Noble also have good things for presents other than books.


    Ann262 – My sister, in Miami, on a very busy street with a sidewalk (but a lot of traffic and fast) finally took her Brittany Spaniel to obedience trainer. She could not even walk her without being dragged. The teacher was a former Marine Drill Sergeant. He got her attention; and, by the time she finished the class, she could walk her without a leash and not worry about her running after anything or into the street.


    Joyce – Sorry that you had a LSD ‘high’ that was unpleasant. “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” (a song in the late ‘60’s, early 70’s – about drugs and tripping out on them). I’ve never taken street drugs, never been addicted to Rx’d drugs; but, I have had ‘some trips’ … some I would not even ‘take to Jesus’. I can usually tell pretty quickly what is interacting with my other meds. I can’t take any OTC drugs or vitamins or supplements unless my PsycheMD approves them first.

    Watching the Finals on “The Voice”. Four really talented individuals (well, maybe 3); but, they are going to have a close, close race … I am sure. Just when I ‘think’ I know who might win, somebody just bowls me over. All 4 of them are great! It is going to be a ‘nail biter’. Ten more minutes.

    Ann262 – It ‘hurt’ me a lot more than it hurt her. When my boys were little and still in Huggies and would do something they should not have done; I’d cup my hand and pop them on the butt. With all that plastic, it sounded a whole lot worse than it was. It scared them more than anything. But, I never used my hand to punish or discipline them. They got switched, just like I did. But, rarely, very rarely. They ‘knew’ if they did something that was ‘against the rules’ they were going to ‘lose’ the privilege of doing something they loved doing. We did not have much problem with either of them. My fur babies are my ‘babies’ now that my sons are adults with families of their own. Cracker is my life (during the day) and brings me a whole lot of entertainment. She’s an ‘inside’ dog; but, gets to go out as much as she wants to. Being a “Jack Rat” I realize that she is very active and needs to get a lot of exercise. Of course, living out in the country I’d never let her out without checking on her; and, when she starts ‘barking’ at something I go and open the door. Our cat, Tux, is an outside cat; and, he is doing his job; I just wish he did not ‘think’ it necessary to ‘show me’. One day, I swear, he must have thought it needed some ‘presentation’. A rat on a bed of grass was at my door when I got ready to go out. I don’t know how he got all the grass up there; but, it was like it was laying on a bed of lettuce.
    She sucks up everything … has always done so. We got her from the Lee County (GA) shelter when she was about 4 months old. When we got her home and loved on her and set up her place, she went right in the crate, could spend all night in it, if need be. She’d walk right at my left heel, and did a lot of things that made me ‘think’ that someone (at some point) had taken up a lot of time with her. She’s good in the car. She’ll sit or lay in the passenger floorboard; or ride in her crate. We took her to Louisiana with us this past summer. She strayed into a BBQ at a local park and was starving. Now, she is picky about what she eats. She’s just been taken off Puppy Chow; and, we tried something that she just has not liked; but, she has eaten it. Today I bought some Dog Chow for Small breads.

    I think she is ‘out of hearing range’ that far away to be honest with you because when I drove up and called her, she came sneaking through some bushes and when she was in full sight she hauled @$$ back towards the house; so I turned around and she finally got in the car (once I opened the passenger side door! Hard to believe she could run that fast for that long. She’ll chase those little birds than land on the ground as a group. We rarely have to call her to us. She will come to the door and patiently wait outside just looking at the door as if she could ‘will it open’. She does scratch a few of the times.
    I’m home all day since I am retired; so putting in the time to train her about the fence will be something that I will have time to do, for sure. For a small breed dog, I was just surprised that she’d go all the way down there. We have never let her ‘out of the yard’ around the house. If DH is going to work, she comes inside so he won’t run the risk of hitting her.

    We’ve tried several types of ‘treats’; but, the ‘only’ ones she likes are the yogurt drops, soft and easy to chew. We use them mostly to give her when she needs to be crated. She does seem to know the difference between being told to ‘get in her bed’ vs ‘get in your crate’.
    I just don’t want something to happen to her that I could prevent. Like being ‘picked up’ (by animal control or by somebody just taking her for whatever purposes. There isn’t much traffic on the road; but, we have a neighbor whose son lives with them ‘some of the time’ and I watched him purposefully swerve to hit a ‘fox squirrel’ in front of my house. I’d have no doubt that if he were to see her ‘in the road’ … she’d be dead.
    I’m trying to be a ‘good human mama’ to an ‘inside dog’ something we’ve never had before. When we moved out here we had a very young dog, who had been an inside dog; but, then you could not get her inside and she started minding DH more than me.

    Cracker will crawl up in my lap and lay back like a baby. As for DH, he will laugh at her because she just sits there and ‘stares’ at him and lightly growls. Her facial expressions are classic. Then all of a sudden she leaps into his lap and settles down until he says ‘you’re too big to be a lap dog, go over there and see Mama’. She will jump down and come right over to me. She really ‘is’ the smartest dog we’ve ever had.

    Lenora - I discovered after 39 years I still hold my high school record for 1st year typing. 75 words per minute for 5 minutes with only 1 error. On a manual typewriter. Of course I hold the record because after my class they went to electric typewriters and now have computers to type on. I don't think there's a manual typewriter in the place! lol My name will be forever enshrined in the Typers Hall of Fame for my hometown (small school so they actually have a record of these things... there were 200 in the entire school....)

    Will be getting into bed soon. Feel partially decent when sitting doing nothing, then you have to do something like potty, put supper tray over on counter or go righ out in hall and look at my heart monitor. Then it all hits me how tired. I am, jittery, short of breath, wondering how in the world I will wash my hair, etc.. I want to go home. I want to go to Charlies appt with neurologist tomorrow, I want to at least sit in the congregation Sunday and hear the choir sing the Cantata. I just don't know how. I guess this baffles me because I have never felt like his.

    Hey y'all. Sorry I haven't been around in a few days. Lots of stressful things have been occurring which has really thrown me off track and I'm struggling to find my groove again.
    Yesterday was awful. I spent most of the day in my nightgown crying and spent a good part of the day hiding out in my bed. Haven't done anything like that in years.
    In the evening I got out and did a little shopping. It was what I needed and I realized my problem was a lack of quality time for myself to recharge and find my balance. Of course today I've had no ''me time" until right now.
    I have been busy crocheting for my two grandsons class Christmas parties at school. I made 19 snowflake ornaments for one and 25 mini stockings for the other. They're both in 3rd grade but different schools.
    I hope everyone is well, warm and healthy. I'm about to lay down. The alarm goes off at 5:45 for me to get my grandson up for school. In case I haven't told y'all this my youngest daughter and her two kids live with us. She should be getting up to get him off to school but we started a bad habit when he started kindergarten and just haven't broken it. She had a baby girl two weeks before he started kindergarten so I got him up for school, drove him there in the morning and picked him up because she was up at all hours of the night with the baby. But the baby is 3 now and we really need to change this situation.
    Well, good night girls.

    Hi Gals,
    Sherry – hugs! PM me your address and I’ll send you a card! Love the tractor parade and that you are taking the steps to cheer yourself up! LOVE the idea about helping with the blog, you’d meet everyone and have a ton of events to go to.. two-underland! Doesn’t have the ring, but still great news!



    Lisa – great idea! Seems like it could be a win win!

    Janetr – congrats on the weight loss and on sending the slob on his way!

    Joyce and Beth – sending good thoughts and hugs

    Pictures and Comics !!!! Love love love them!!

    Heather – sending thoughts of peace and caring to DH and family

    Pip – love all the pics and the harry potter tree!

    Allie – First I am so sorry to hear that Tom is being his normal self! And Congrats on not caring anymore, DO NOT go back to work, take your vacation and plan how to take care of you!

    Becca – love the advent calendar pics, your welcome

    Barbie – hip hip hooray ! all of your dancing this quick is great!

    Ann262 – love the doggie advice, do you know much about reactive dogs? I have a reactive English Springer Spaniel, 5 years old, a rescue, I’m his fifth family and his forever home, I’ve had good success with training in the past but 4 classes and $1600 in doggie training and not much success with this one. All positive reinforcement, great treats, he’s food motivated, but he had a hard childhood, animal control took him out of one home and he was given up the other times. I’ve had him since he was 18 months… Would love to take this to email if you have some suggestions and are willing to let me “pick your brain”


    So feel like I have been out of the loop for days! My mom was here and I thought of you all and how grateful I was I still had my mom and in good health even when she was pushing every button I have and occasionally pushing them over and over again!!! But we got 12 lbs of Christmas candy and 126.5 dozen cookies in 9 varieties made. We each take home ½ and then plate them and give them to friends and family..

    December Goals:

    Write Christmas letter, and have all cards ready to send by Dec1…this was for nov. but still working on it.
    Read and report on a book
    Log everyday to the best I can, over if need be.
    11,000 + steps everyday
    Work on water consumption –
    Lunch with Kyle - Done

    Smiles.

    Went to my primary care doctor today at the suggestion of the doctor I saw while in Missouri for my "rash". I had copies of all the blood work and chest x-ray etc. for her review. My PC says no way was all that from stress, she suspects Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever resulting in Lyme Disease. So off to have more blood work today to test for Lyme's. After hearing Mary's harrowing experience with it, I'm hoping that's not the case. Should have results in a few day, the doctor will call me.

    Oh Grace what tangled webs we weave when we think we are helping out our kids! I feel for you. Does your daughter work? Have you thought about just having a heart to heart talk with her and let her know that as much as you love her and your grandchildren you are just tired and need to stop getting up so early? I hope at least that she is appreciative of what you have done the past 3 years! Sometimes I just say to my grandsons when they are being ornery and want me to get in the middle - "Pretend I'm dead and you have to figure it out yourself!"

    I'm really worried about Liz. I don't remember her ever telling us what her results were. I think I'll go back to November and find her username and see if I can get in touch with her.

    Mary thanks for posting - you can see I tend to worry about people. Glad you are doing better and hope your next checkup about the Lymes is positive.

    Janetr - your step-son sounds like my son which is why when he finally moved out we were not on good terms.

    Got on the scale this morning and have lost another pound. I did have 3 pieces of chocolate today that a friend gave me in a goody bag but I have also been staying away from all the goodies all over the office. The reason I get in 7000 steps at work is because the restroom is 150 steps from my desk. I may wither away to nothing by June . . . lol.

    Well my friends and all the new ones as well - I need to get to bed. Talk again tomorrow

    Gloria in WA where it's going to be in the 20's tomorrow morning. Brrrrrrrrrr!

    Lenora - to answer your earlier question, my motorhome is 8 feet wide by 32 feet long.....I'm not sure if it would actually qualify as a "Tiny Home" but if not it should, lol!....it has plenty of room for a single person like me, but I'm not sure I could handle it living with another person.....there just wouldn't be anywhere to get away from them without going outside, lol.....

    Joyce - you poor dear!! I really hope you get better soon and I hope you got a good dinner.....hospital food seems to be getting better over the years.....go to bed and get some rest sweetie......

    Pip - your stats always amaze me.....I wish I could burn 781 calories like that!! I'd be skinny in no time!!.....

    Katla - I love your little tree with the choo choo under it!! Where do you guys find all these awesome emoticons, emojis, or whatever you call them???? Is there a specific website for stuff like that or ?????.....

    Re & Barbie - MFP updated on my tablet a while back and I think it kicked off all my friends among other screw ups......can I re - add you both back onto my friends list???? It also made everything private for me and I've slowly been re - doing it all, still trying to get it to make my diary public again......has anybody else had this problem???.....I hope it doesn't do this every time it updates.....

    Anybody else that wants to be friends feel free to add me......

    And last but not least, before this thing loses THIS post too....Allie - I am so glad you didn't go through with flying home early.....even though he deserved to be left there with the dogs, I'm not sure I would want to subject the dogs to that kind of punishment, lol.....spend as much time with your friends down there as you can and have fun!! Don't let the a r s e rain on your vacation parade sweetie!!.....

    OK, I think I am done for now....I better post this before I lose this one too, grrrr.....will post again when I go to bed...............

    Gloria: Liz was a member of our group a couple of years ago. She was here for a while and then we didn't see her post again until recently. I hope that she's doing okay. :flowerforyou:

    Janetr: I hope and pray that you get good news from your blood test. (((HUGS)))

    Sherry: Can you open a word document to type responses into while you're reading? That is what I do, especially when I want to comment to several people. When I try to type directly into MFP to reply to more than one person I often lose my post. I know some people take notes on paper and then write up their post.



    I was hoping to take Christmas Wreaths to my parent's graves tomorrow but it looks like snow will hinder that plan. Snow is on its way now and my trip to Salem may need to be postponed. I'm prepared to be flexible.

    Hey again!....lol.....

    I managed to get MFP to make my diary public again....don't know what I did but it worked....lol.....but now it doesn't want to show my steps from my fitbit and it did yesterday.....WTH????

    Kim - that is an amazing amount of cookies!!.....Holy cow!!.....you must have a huge kitchen for all of that!!....I messaged you my addy.....

    Janetr - oh gosh, not you too!!!!....I hope your blood test is good news!....

    Katla - I wish I could type everything out on a word program or app while I read every bodies posts....but my tablet won't let me do two things at once.....it's kind of limited that way.....I don't lose posts very often but when it happens it's usually a long post and is very frustrating.....lol....don't worry, I would never throw my tablet across the room....lol....I need it too much....could you picture me back in Best Buy with a broken tablet, "Ummm, I don't know what happened, it just broke when it wigged out....it's under warranty right??"...... lol, NOT!....oh yeah, thanks for the link to the fun stuff....I gotta go check it out now......

    OK, will post again from bed.....
