    Joyce--Pray things go well with DD. Know you are concerned please remember to take care of yourself.

    DJ--DH bought one of those copper pans and I love it. Things do not stick and clean up is so easy. We are really careful what we use in it.

    Beth--I see no reason you can not wear a nice pants outfit to the wedding. There are so many styles.
    I tried to find her on FB and the one I pulled up was her picture but only one post from Sept 2016 and before that 2015. Does anyone know any more? This just makes me so sad. Read the story and feel so bad for her family. I would like to send some memorial has anyone found where to send. I tried looking for her obiturary and no luck.

    Katla--I understand about being the bad guys. I give up trying to firgure our children out and just do what we can when we can. Most the time someone is mad, but with 6 children and 28 grandchildren we can only do so much and we both are working full time.

    About Christmas, growing up we had Christmas at home and would go to grandparents weekend before or after. Since we have been married at first we would have the kids to our house when we could all get together and it didn't have to be on that day. Now the children are old and several will not be in the same place at the same time. So we do Christmas eve at our oldest son and the rest when we can and by the time we are done we have had at least 3 or 4. Still Christmas is my favorite time of year.

    Well ladies take care and remember One day at a time. Blessings, Vicki Grand Island,NE

    I am so sorry that Carol was right about Gloria. My heart aches. Does anyone know her address. I know that they won't post it in the paper. It might be nice at least to send her grandsons some cookies. That in addition to maybe doing something else for the family.

    katla - I'm so sorry your daughter and her husband are giving you such problems.

    About the Christmas issue - I'm really afraid that if I'm not proactive in inviting his grandmother and mother to my house, Pete and Denise never come. Hey, it took Pete 6 YEARS to come here for 2 days (I understand...it was his work that meant he could only be here two days). He hasn't come at all since then (it's been another 4 YEARS). I'll be flexible if they offer another solution that can work.

    blueyedgurl - welcome! Just keep posting.

    skipper - you are now officially a member here! Come back often

    Terry - I usually track as much as I can when I go away. Admitted it isn't always accurate, sometimes I just have to estimate. But that's better than nothing!

    :'( I am sad about Gloria and reminded again to be present during every moment because there is no guarantee of another one. I am concerned about her grandsons

    :)Terry being careful about what you eat every day is important

    Thank you for the warm welcome. My name is Rhonda and I live in NE Ga. I have been married to my husband, Henry, for 44 years. We have five grown children and seven grandchildren. I am the only caregiver for my mother and sometimes may be housebound for several weeks, due to my husband working out of town.

    I have only read the comments here on Gloria. She sounds like an amazing woman and I am sorry not to have the chance to get to know her. I will definitely be praying for her family as they have many decisions to make.

    I live in Blairsville. The lovely North Ga. mountains! I do have a couple of questions related to this thread.
    1. Is there a way to keep this on my home page so that I don't always have to "search" for it? Surely there is an easier way!
    2. How do I know what each of your names are. ie...Peach1984. Is this what I call you?

    I just want to cry. That job I applied for? The contact emailed me yesterday (it went into my spam folder, of course) telling me they checked and there is no application in the system. Of course, I checked (logged into the hospital job system) and there it is under my completed applications. I replied of course, with screen shot, but over 24 hours after she emailed me, because I didn't see it in the spam folder.

    I'm going to take a nap. better than eating I suppose.

    Hugs Ladies!
    So sad about our Gloria! You just never know from day to day when our time comes? I loved her caring nature, and all she did for her grandkids!

    Yes. I believe that is the case -- while she was walking her dog. :cry:

    Good evening, all!

    I’ve just put a quiche in the oven so after a harried day, I’ve finally got time for my evening check-in. We had some nice asparagus so I sauteed it in a little bacon fat and put it in the quiche with a few bacon bits and some parmesan cheese. We nearly always have eggs and frozen pie crust on hand, so this is a go-to meal when I want something easy.

    Katla – I’ve been worried about long-term use of H2 blockers. I take omeprazole, and I’d love to cut down but if I miss a dose I can’t keep down my food. My doctor says the pill is less of a risk than the daily upchuck, but I wish it were possible to find a different solution.

    Lisa – Your mom sounds like a character! I can just imagine her presenting that trophy to the offender of the year.

    Carol – Thank you for keeping us posted on any donation efforts. Do you have an address where we could send a card to Gloria’s family?

    Blueyedgurl – Welcome to the group! Those are some beautiful blue eyes in your profile photo.

    SkipperCami – And welcome to you to! This is such a supportive group.


    I’m still kind of stunned by the news about our Gloworm, and heartbroken for her family. We may not have met, but you all feel like friends and I care about you.

    All the Christmas talk is reminding me that we need to make plans. We try to make a visit to each of our families in December, and to rotate where we spend Christmas day between them. But that’s kind of fallen apart in recent years… we haven’t always been afford to board the animals, which makes it hard to travel. This year I think we’re due in Houston with Dad and my siblings, and we can probably take the dog with us and find someone to feed the cats and birds. That’s assuming Philip can even get the time off. It’ll be interesting, though, because my sister’s cat hates dogs and he absolutely terrorizes Luna.

    Well, I think I smell quiche so I’d better wind this up for the night.

    ‘Night, everybody.

    Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

    Good Evening Friends,

    Rye, I loved the image you shared with Wendy and her running rabbit adventure. Thanks for the smile.

    Wendy, trust me, you are Superwoman’s Sister as far as I’m concerned. Many of us would show you what a turtle really runs like. (or a bird?) Keep up the great work.

    Beth, I sure think a pants outfit would be good for the wedding. I have worn some in the past.

    Lisa, great instructions on how to post things here.

    Kelly, Jouquin is sooo cute. Really young for a Party Animal, but glad he enjoyed. lets-party-smiley-emoticon.gif

    CarolGA, I don’t know any other way to read the FB post about Gloria. That is so sad!!!! (later) I am somewhat in shock. We will really miss her. She was such a dear and she’s been with us a long time. crying.gif

    Lisa, your mother sounds like a jewel. The trophy is such a great idea. Lol

    Blueyedgurl, welcome. This is a great place for support and information so come often. Please sign each post with the name you want to be called and a location, general or specific. It makes it easier for us to respond.

    Cami, you are in! And welcome. Please tell us a little about yourself to help us get to know you and sign your posts with the name you want to be called. Come often.

    Terry, I hope you have a wonderful trip. I think most of us still track our food when on vacation. For me it’s even more important then as my diet will vary so much.

    Vicki, thanks for the feedback on the copper pans. Yes, I am very careful about my pans and so upset that my DD has ruined the one. I only use plastic or wooden utensils and was by hand, not in the dishwasher. Glad you like yours.

    Meg, take a deep breath and keep breathing. So sorry for the chaos. I’m sending soothing vibes your way. (((Hugs))))

    Tiffany, I laughed reading about what you are like if you eat a goodie. Lol As far as keeping up with everyone, it takes time. It also is nice when people sign their posts so you only have to remember their name and not their screen name. My name is actually Janet but when Janetr joined us a couple of years ago, I changed to DJ because I had been called that before. It just makes it a bit easier. In fact, I often have a response for someone but don’t post it because I don’t know who they are other than some strange screen name. lol

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gifto all the Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

    Ladies, I am just so saddened at the news about Gloria. Again it just reminds me of how I feel about most of you and how important you have become to me. Please all take care of yourselves and have a good night.

    Sending love, good thoughts and cool sunshine to all of you.
