Sorry Gayla to hear you are not feeling so well. You only have two weeks left to go to work. That is just fantastic.

We had a cloudy day here and looking for a nice little storm headed our way. Surpose to be here till around noon Friday. It will probable follow us up to Ark. Friday. Hope it clears out by the Saturday. Don't know about Ark. yet. alice is keeping an eye on that,

time to go get supper ready. I think I will have some Fiber one waffles. Been washing and drying clothes.
I have had a running nose and sneezying. But I think it is allergy. Becase in the afternoon it goes away. Eye quit itching. But comes back when I wake up. We just turn our central heat on and it might be that We turn it on the other morning.


Hope the reat of you are doing fine, Take care

Good Morning!

Foggy and dreary here today. BUT it is a good day! No disasters this morning! Amanda is fine and the insurance really treated her nicely (Allstate). She did get a ticket for following too closely. But no one hurt except for her pride! LOL No word on Days mom yet. They do not have the results back from the scan yet. Last night she seemed a little better but was having some trouble being clear in her speach, another sign of a stroke. But we are all hanging in there!

Sam has the Miss Indiana State pagent this Sunday. We are excited about that. We are going to a friends house for a big Halloween party on Saturday, staying all night and then going to the pagent. Our friends have a beautiful home/estate. About 10-12k square feet on about 40 acres. Just beautiful.
That is always a fun time.

Galyla get better kid! No H1N1 for you!
Marie keep on a going! How did the Dr visit come out last week?
Everyone else have a great day and I will catch up with you later!

Good morning Jaffrey, thanks for the update on your family. When i had my stroke i could'nt swaller any lilqute. had tp put some kind of thicken in my food, My left side of my face drew up, weakness on my left side. And my speech. I have always had a speech problems, but everything started improving. No paroblems since and this was in 2003.
Here is my report on me now. My vascular in my legs are working fine,my Kidney doctor said I had ssome more damage to my kidney from the dye they used to insert the stints, but not too bad. I must be duing OK. far all of my doctors are schelue me out for 3 months. So far now I got the all clear sign.
So life goes on.
Thanks to you and all the rest of the gang here, i have gotten active again.

alice and I go on our little trip in the morning so got to get pack. We will have rain today but tapering off tomorrow. See you guys later. Marie

elli

Marie! I'm so proud of you! You're doing AWESOME taking good care of yourself! I hope you and Alice have the BEST weekend! If i ever go away i love it if my adult kids want to go with me!
I took some pictures of the snow yesterday for you - through my kitchen window. I'll post them later on today. Of course, we have about 4 more inches now! lol. I'm not sure about the whole snowman thing! I need a little kid to help me! I'm supposed to have some little buddies coming for trick or treat - but i think it will still be too cold and windy for playing outside when they're here - prob'ly not for them - but for me! :laugh:

Oh Gayla! I hope it isn't that awful flu! REST and take good care of you. I'm glad you're not going to worry about work!

Still struggling with my food - i think i better weigh again. I know i'm in for a bad shock:grumble: I figure as long as i stay here and at least keep posting and putting my food in i'll get back on track eventually! Today i'm baking some carmel apple bars for my little trick or treaters - but i'll put those right into zip locks for them so no worries there!

Most things are shut down around here because of the weather. We're working tho 'cause we ship all over the country........FedEx didn't even make it yesterday to pick up! I have the feeling we're in for a snowy winter! My son was out working this morning at 1:30 clearing roads for the drilling rigs i guess?!?!?!?:noway: go figure - i never know what he's up to!:laugh:

Get that packing done Marie!

Jeffrey - so glad things seem to be getting back to normal. I always love it when the insurance company comes through for us!

Happy Thursday all!

CALIECAT

Hey elli I seen all that snow on TV. Awesome. we got rain this morning. So what new?????????

My insurance gave me a nice suprise. Sent my Co- Pay back on my Colonopy 100.00 Hmmmmm maybe we can stop in Oklahoma at one their Casino. We will go right by one. And I haven't been to yet?

Sammy is wanting me to sit out on the front porch and watch the rain. We can't leave him out on a leash for he will just come out of it. My dog Angel would sit out there all day. We lost her last year.Sure missed her.And she really like her walks.

I am curious what kind of Mail order business do you have?

Have a good day. Go play in the snow.

Marie

Sandydur

Have a great trip Marie and if you do make it to the casino good luck. :drinker: I won at bingo last night $50 on a raffle and $167 on the last bingo game. It was a $500 game and my friend next to me needed the same number as I did, when they called it we yelled together and my other friend across from me yelled also. So three of us from the same table won the last game. It was so much fun. :laugh:

Glad everything is working out for you Jeffrey. Will Sam's pagent be on TV? You must be one proud dad.
Sometimes when we get older we have these little mini strokes that we don't even realize we are having. I am sure once you get the results of the MRI you will have answers on Day's mom. Be sure they check her carotid artery. (just my opinion)

Elli, I am not ready for snow let along a blizzard, it is just too early. Your Halloween treats sound great.
Keep posting your calories and keep trying to do some sort of exercise. I know you can lose those extra pounds because you did it before. We have to keep at it so we reach our goals. :bigsmile:

Time to get ready for my meeting. Another busy day for me, I will explain later.

Sandy

elli

Hi Marie - my little Hercky HATES the rain AND the snow - i have to just about push him out the doggie door and then he just stays out there long enough to do his business and runs back in! I got heaters in the dogloos for my 2 outside dogs - i'm SO glad - they're much happier!

My business is Goodwinol Products Corp (the website is www.goodwinol.com). It my Dad's old business that i took over in 1987. We sell animal healthcare products - just a few - probably not anything you've ever heard of. Mostly to large veterinary distributors. I'm SO lucky. It's all set up out in my barns so i only have to walk accross the driveway to come to work! Plus i got to run the business AND still be here for my kids. SO SO lucky and blessed. I try and remember to be thankful every single day!

elli

elli

hi Sandy - i missed your post. Yes - i'll keep posting away......i wish i were more motivated right now! I'll get there........
Well - i wasn't exactly ready for all this big snow and blizzard - but so it goes! lol. I've already shoveled 3 times this morning trying to keep us a path between the barns and the house
Oh congrats on all your bingo winnings! That's so awesome!
Do you go to a meeting every day?
I know my mom had those little mini strokes - first she had a pretty big one and we had to put her in a nursing home:frown: . Then after that she had a few little ones.....she only lasted 6 months after the first big one. It was 5 years ago this month.......I still find myself talkng to her sometimes and sure wishing she were here - there's still things i need her help with:indifferent:
Jeffrey - good luck to Sam! What a fun thing and i agree with Sandy - you must be one proud daddy!:happy:

CALIECAT

Thanks Elli. I have always wonder what you were selling out in your barn. Sound like you got a nice little business going. Since you are selling this stuff , maybe you can help us get rid of fleas. It has been a bad year here for fleas. We have used the med that the vets sell on there neck and didn't fade them. Used powder and some spray stuff on them and yikes we still have fleas. The best of luck on your business.
Marie

Still plugging along but feel very unwell. I called my Dr.'s office today but as I expected he is severly double-booked. My appt. is for Tuesday. If it gets worse before then I will go into Emergency. I can only imagine the wait there. I hate to leave Neil on his own but sharing a car with me isn't good either. I took some tylenol for the headache and I think it is helping the fever as well. Glad for that. I think there is no doubt at this point that it is H1N1 as the other seasonal flu's have not made an appearance yet. My boss called me and said not to worry about time, we will work it out. I may have to work a bit longer and get paid out for holidays. I am hoping that tomorrow I feel spunky enough to get at least one program plan done from home.
Take care, Gayla:sick:

CALIECAT

Gayla, Oh it seems that you got it bad. Here wishing for a speedy recover. That Swin Flu has really left it mark on everyone. Jerry and i have escaped it so far. But we are not around other people that much. Just to Wal Mart. sure hope Neil don't get it.
We got our regular flu shot about a month ago. And my doctor is surpose to call me when she gets some in of swine flu. They keep changing the shipment time.

Sandy just a reminder that Sat night is the last day of the month. Thanks for doing this for us.I will be back Sunday.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I have been very busy and haven't been at the computer as much as usual. We are staying on track with eating and exercising. Jake is busier than ever with his business and he's had a few tasks for me. I don't miss taking the dogs to the dog park, going to line dance, or riding the exercise bike.

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey, I'm so sorry about Amanda's accident and so glad that she is OK---that's what's most important. Good luck to Sam in the pageant.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Beth it is so good to hear from you. the culture shock must be amazing.....but you're resilient and will be on track in no time. It's good to hear that you're still staying focused on your running.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, I had a friend who always said that no trip was complete until you figured out what you forgot to pack. :laugh: She traveled a lot and always forgot something although it usually wasn't something critical (like make-up)

:flowerforyou: Elli, I'm not surprised that you have snow. There's snow in the Cascades and Olympic mountains in Washington and my friends in Montana are telling me that there is snow preventing them from going where they want to. I know you'll get yourself back on the healthy eating wagon soon. Just keep on logging your food and you'll be back on track in no time. Thanks for letting us know about your business. It sounds perfect.

:flowerforyou: Gayla, sorry you're not feeling well. Don't let anxiety about all the bad flu make you feel worse.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, congratulations on your bingo winnings. I like bingo but I never win anything.

We're watching the World Series. I was born in New York City and lived just outside Philadelphia when I was a teenager so both teams are close to my heart. I don't know who to cheer for :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Marie, have a wonderful trip

don't shop or gamble too much :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: but walk a lot

Very busy week and going on a women's retreat this weekend. My daughter's boyfriend broke up with her last night and she was so upset. :brokenheart: Today, she's doing fine. :ohwell: Better to find out before it's too late. They just went on a cruise, too! I thought it was too much...too soon, but what do I know...I'm just a mother:laugh: :laugh:
So hope everyone has a great day - weekend.:smooched:
I lost another 2 lbs so I am happy.:happy:
God Bless and will check back in tomorrow...if not...Monday!

Good morning everyone! Marie - have a blast on your trip!

Barbiecat - i was born in NYC too! That's funny huh?

Oh Birdie - i remember you were just saying about your (youngest i think?) daughter - going on a cruise so quick with her new boyfriend.......I hope her heart heals quickly. I have a tee shirt that says " better to have loved and lost than spent the rest of my life with the psycho"! It was really appropriate for me losing the last man that was in my life:laugh: I hope your retreat is wonderful this weekend!

Jeffrey - how's Day's mom doing? I hope Sam has a fun pagent! And hopefully Amanda's car is getting fixed (or she's getting a new 1?)

I'm having company again Saturday night - prob'ly just like 8 people so not a huge deal like last weekend! I'm trying little by little to have all the people over who helped me out so much with the house!

I'm planning on having a good food day today! Happy Friday to everyone.

elli

oops - i forgot, Marie - we do have a shampoo that helps with the flea problems. It's got cedar oil in it. Let me know if you want to try some. You can e mail me at the business address - send me your shipping address and i'd be happy to send you an 8 oz. bottle. goodwinol@what-wire.com

Good Morning!

Snow leaves here today! Rainy but kind of warm. No new disasters today but it is early! Hopefully we will have a fun weekend. Had to take the Benz in today for service, ouch. The cats are sleeping and we are all working and healthy! I will keep you posted on Sam's pagent. They should have a web link up through Indiana State University but I have not looked for it yet. If you want to try and you find it let me know! LOL thank you all for your kind thoughts and wishes!

Sandy it will not be on TV if she makes the Miss Indiana cut then it will be.

Barbie the new pics look great! You have done an outstanding job!

Elli what a mess! I seen pics of your area. Glad its you and not me! LOL

Hi Weaklink!

Birdie sorry about your daughter's bf. You know we are all of a different generation. I hope she is doing well.

Marie what is new with the family? Enjoy the weekend!

Amanda's car is "recovering". LOL Days mom is getting back to normal (raising heck)! the scan showed no signs of stroke. But she had all the classic symptoms. I am not sure how "deep" they look at the results of any test once you hit a certain age. I know I am a cynic but I do believe that.
Outside of all that, it is fine and we are well!

Take care one and all!

Jeffrey

Sandydur

It is raining and it is a depressing day. We have had so much rain I am going to start traveling in a boat.
Daisy is so wound up because she can't go out and play. :ohwell: Hopefully the weekend will bring better weather, especially for the trick or treaters. :bigsmile:

I have been working on the web site for my grand daughter's dance group. I developed and maintain it for them as a donation. I love making web sites although mine are on the plain side.

Jeffrey, glad Day's mother is improving. :flowerforyou: I tried to look for a web cam or information on the pageant but couldn't fine any information on the ISU web site. Just know that we are all pulling for her nd wish her the best of luck.

Marie, is gone with her daughter so remind me tomorrow night to change the posts to November. I wouldn't want her to be disappointed in me. :glasses:

Elli, checked out your web site and it looks like you have a successful business. Nice that you kept it going from your dad. How are dealing with all that snow???


It is after noon and I still have so many things to do besides my elliptical. I better get moving, we had a repair man here fixing my faucet and I am now all behind in my chores. :ohwell:

Will check in later, have a good Friday.

Sandy

barbiecat

Hi Everybody, :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I wore my pumpkin Halloween costume to line dance today. There were about a dozen of us in costume and it was fun. There was a lot of laughter and picture taking. There was also a lot of candy (all the good stuff) and a bowl of apples. It was interesting to watch women who asked me a lot of questions about how I lost weight, later picking up handfuls of candy to take with them. One woman even said that she was taking it for her lunch. I’m so glad to be in touch with all of you.

:flowerforyou: Birdie, congratulations on losing another two pounds.

:flowerforyou: Elli, not only do we have being born in NYC in common, we also have being married to a psycho. Husband number 1 was a giant loser----he robbed me blind and broke my heart and when he left on the bus to go back to his siblings in Pennsylvania, I sang that song “Thank God and Greyhound, You’re Gone”

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey, I’m glad Day’s mom is recovering. Jake had a small stroke a few years ago and the only residual effect is some numbness in one finger. Keep your positive attitude.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, wow, I’m impressed that you have the skills to work on websites.

:flowerforyou: Marie, I hope you’re having a great time on your trip.
I’m starting to think about goals for November. I know I’ll be filled with gratitude for all of you.
Hugs, Barbie

elli

Barbie - I agree with you on 2 things - I'm blown away that Sandy can build websites - i get excited that i can ACCESS them!:laugh: AND Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!!!!!!!!!! At least you were smart enough that that was husband number 1. For me the psycho was boyfriend number 2, after husbands #1, 2, boyfriend #1! See why i've been on my own for 8 years:happy: You're too cute to wear a costume to line dance!
I had 2 little neighbor boys over tonight for trick or treating 'cause they're leaving for HI tomorrow. I baked them some treats for the plane.
Tomorrow i'm having s'more friends over for dinner.
The snow is melting already and we've got mud mud mud..........i'd rather have the snow!
Poor little hercky - every time he comes in from outside i wash his little feet. He's not happy about that!
OK - everyone have a great weekend - 'll try and check in. Monday is my day to get serious about dieting!
elli

Sandydur

Ellie, the snow made beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing, I would rather have snow then mud or rain at this point. We have had so much rain it has been terrible. They say it will be nice for the kids tomorrow, if you call 50 degrees nice with strong winds.

I am on husband number two, my first husband was a gambler and a player. My second husband is wonderful and is so good to me. We dated for 13 years before we got married which was 18 years in September. Love is better the second time around. :bigsmile:

I do a lot on my computer, it keeps me busy. I also make great DVD from photos and/or videos. I just made a DVD from my four year old grand daughters TBall game with the photos her mom sent me. I put all the pictures together to the tune of Take Me Out to the Ball game. I ended it with a cast of all of their names, it was very cute. I am also in the process of making DVD's from my old home movies that were on VHS. That is very time consuming so it is slow moving. I love doing technical things.

Our Comcast TV has been down all day due to the wind. The DVR recordings are working but I am upset because I didn't get to see Monk or Medium.

Time for bed, good night. :yawn:
Sandy

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Sandy, sometimes they replay the Monk episodes on another day. The one tonight was great. It was called "Mr. Monk and the Dog". Check the listings and see if it is playing again.. It was really good.
hugs, Barbie

Sandydur

Good Morning,

The rain has stopped, the sun is trying to come out, except for the terrible wind it could be a nice day. :flowerforyou:

Barbie, yes they do repeat Monk all week but it is just frustrating that Comcast is still out and we still have no TV. I really am thinking of switching to ATT but I am one of those people who get used to one thing and then I don't like to change. I am told Comcast is faster for my computer but I know others who have ATT and have good speed. I am sort of a TV addict, loving all the new shows.

I have class with Daisy this morning, then we have a vet appointment for her final shots (I hope) and then home for the trick or treaters. The Village extended the hours this year from 2-8, they usually are from 4-6, but I guess because of being on a Saturday they are giving the kids more time. :grumble:

Don't forget to push your clocks back tonight, you gain an extra hour of sleep. :laugh:

Have a happy Halloween!! (Marisa is a witch)

Sandy

Lafla

Hi to you all from snowy Saskatchewan. It was so nice yesterday but the snow came in time for the trick and treaters. Neil is thinking we should open up the candy but so far it hasn't happened. I am still feeling pretty yucky. Yesterday was a bad day, my temperature was quite high most of the day and I simply took up residence on the couch. I haven't been eating much so likely will have lost weight. The trick will be to keep it off. Dave made Kraft dinner last night and I was glad for that, it kind of slips down the throat. My chest doesn't feel as tight which is good and makes me think there will be an end to this soon. I have an appt. to see my Dr. Tuesday morning, with any luck I will be better by then.

I will try to get back on tomorrow for a longer post but now I think I will move to my couch. Perhaps I need a laptop, hmmm.

Gayla :sick:

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Gayla, sorry you're not feeling well........that will help in sidestepping the Halloween candy.:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Elli, I was single for eight years after getting free of husband #one. I learned a lot about taking care of life's business and living alone. They were great lessons. I put Jake at the top of my gratitude list every morning. I am so fortunate to have found him.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, we did a long list of errands today, too. Around here the trick-or-treaters come after 5 PM. We leave our light on until 8. There's no telling how many will come. there are children in our neighborhood but our road signs say "Private" so it deters a lot of people from other neighborhoods. We have a little candy and if that's not enough we'll give quarters. That way we don't end up with any leftover candy. Marisa is darling in her costume. all our grandchildren live hundreds of miles away. I doubt that we'll get any Halloween pictures

We had a lunch today that got out of control. I had planned to put broccoli and cauliflower in some packaged organic roasted red pepper soup and have a salad with a hard boiled egg for protein. then we went to the open aire market and bought two big bunches of chard. I completely forgot that fresh chard is loaded with sodium, so between the packaged soup and the chard, our sodium consumption for the day is off the charts.

Our neighbor on one side is dying and all his kids are here staying with them. Our neighbors on the other side are split up and she has a restraining order to keep him away.. we are certainly grateful for the peace and good health in our house.

I'll be looking for the new thread tomorrow.
hugs to all Barbie

hi everyone! It's monday and November! A new week, a new month - i'm starting over!
I wonder if Marie's home yet? HOpe she had so much fun!
Sandy - you could be my hero - good with tech stuff. I'm a total dummy! You and Barbie both have been so smart, getting the relationship thing figured out before having to go through 3 or 4 relationships!:laugh: guess i'm a slow learner.

Gayla - I sure hope you're feeling better, kind of sounds like you do have that h1n1.....i'm glad you're going to the Dr. How's Neil doing without you being able to take care of HIM?

Marie - when you get home - i did get your address on the business e mail, but you didn't put your zip code.

Jeffrey - how did Sam's pagent go?

I have monday and tuesday mornings for the next 5 weeks babysitting from 6:30 to 7:30. Makes for a late start at work, but that'll be ok for a few weeks.

Have a good day everyone!
