    Just want to send out virtual hugs to Barbie, Joyce, Michele and Becca today. At least there is some positive news about Sylvia!

    Also, welcome to the new people on both sides of the pond! And we do not have time to think much about other countries' elections these days as the one we will have sucks everything out of us media-wise. It is like a vacation to be on this thread and be with people who have other things to talk about.

    Not much going on here, just trying to be upbeat. Looking forward to the long weekend and have promised myself to not spend the whole weekend pulling up weeds in the garden! I plan to go look at other peoples' gardens instead.

    Pip, I did 13 miles the other night. I have a hybrid and that is the only bike I have--DH has a touring bike. Maybe I would go faster on a tour bike but I never got used to my back position on them...of course it would be nice to have better leg muscles too! I like the hybrid because I can do gravel if need be.

    Hello ladies: We are cloudy with sunbreaks here. I never heard of sunbreaks before moving to WA, must be a PNW thing. DS and his girlfriend have already been by to pick up the RV. They are camping at Walla Walla this weekend. DD and I are planning yardwork and a trip to Ikea for this long weekend.

    Glad Sylvia let us know how she is doing.

    Becca - Traveling mercies and hope things work out for your DH.

    Joyce - Prayers for you and Charlie. Hope all goes well with his surgery.

    Barbie - Condolences for you and Jake.

    "Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings." - Miles Franklin

    All of you wonderful wise women on here fulfill this need so well. Thanks, Sue in WA

    Michele in NC – I’ve just started my 6-month driving restriction. It’s HELL to have to depend on others and their schedules to do just about anything. DDnL#1 (who no longer has a job) took me in to town to pick up “Cracker” from the vet (she had split her nail and it was coming up, that was why she had started favoring the foot that she had stepped on a thorn with. I thought she was just ‘playing us’ (mostly husband); but, decided to take her in on Wednesday. Had to keep her overnight because she had to have it removed. She’s limping just a little; but, not nearly as bad as before. Came home with some ointment and some pain pills. She’s been out while I was walking in the pool (Heavenly) and ran down there and back without much problem. Picked a handful of blueberries; and, if the deer don’t get to them before I do … will have a lot in a day or two. Got to go out there and check them every morning. I put the 20 berries in a ½ cup of ice cream. YUMMY!!!!!

    Becca – Have you and your husband in my prayers.

    Marcelyn – With weather it seems like it is always ‘feast or famine’. Too hot or cold, too wet of dry, hard to please everybody it seems; but, certainly do pray for those in ‘Tornado Alley’ for their safety.

    Well it is now after 3PM and the clouds are back, and it looks like rain... I am suppose to got to a little graduation party tonight at my co-workers house....

    Then the only other plans I have for this weekend is to give platelets on Sunday ... I am in the blood bank just about every two weeks to give. Platelets are easier to give - I mean you are there longer, but you can go back every two weeks.

    ((hugs)) to everyone!

    My mobile phone and SMS network is down. Seems widespread from what I can read on the Internet. Been trying to text my son, who was due to pick up his greyhounds this weekend, but one broke her leg this morning! He's somewhat upset. She's at the vet right now. :'(
    Thunderstorm just came over.

    Glad to hear from Sylvia. :D

    I must say I am waiting to hear from Joyce and Becca.

    I am sooooooo tired. Two very short nights and lots of socialising. Good tired, but zzzzzzzzzzz.

    I only do road biking, no off road. both of my bikes are specialized bikes. I was surprised on how easy I got used to the sitting position on the road/summer bike. what took me a minute to get used to was the pedal stroke, it's a bigger stroke on the summer bike. my husband has 3 bikes, the winter bike (specialized) his wooden bike, (renovo) and his other bike which is a klein

    Joyce, Becca, Michele NC - Sorry to hear about the medical challenges you or your loved ones are facing. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

    Barbie - My condolences to you and your hubby.

    I'm so glad my work week is over its been a week from HE double hockey sticks! Here's hoping I don't get called in on the weekend. I've missed both evenings of Tai Chi this week but I'm determined to make it tonight.

    Wishing everyone an enjoyable weekend.

    I am exhausted. Got about two hours of sleep last night due to torrential rains and then the raucous caused by the stupid frogs. All night long, ribbet ribbet ribbet. Then I got up this morning and saw all the sod laid by the homeowners association washed downstream and was blocking my culvert so I spent the morning up to my knees in water digging out the sod and trying to clear the culvert. It started to rain about noon time and we got 12 inches. That makes over 20 inches in two days. The water was everywhere and my yard was about six inches deep with it. Several trees in the neighborhood went down because the ground is so saturated. That's one of my worries as I have about 25 - 30 trees. All big trees and I sure don't want one on my house. My husband was in Colorado for business and they diverted his flight home to Corpus Christi and then San Antonio. Once off the plane in SA he headed to the car rental and is driving home. The problem is almost all the roads to our area are closed for flooding. It's just crazy. CRAZY. And tonight I'm putting in earphones and blocking out the dumb frogs.

    And no time to practice that cello. I feel like I failed but I just don't have the energy to do it tonight. Tomorrow I will start with it.

    Well hello guys. I had tried in the surgery waiting room and MFP would only load half way. Here in his room it is fine. I hank Allison for delivering my message. She is in Facebook and saw my general message. Every thing went fine. His only complaint is gas build up ad I don't know if that is a phantom pain or not. His throat doesn't feel good from the tube. I did get quite a scare. The person they the desk came and asked if my name was Joyce and to follow her. As I went down the hall I heard a man making such a raucous and they wanted his wife to speak soothingly to him. As I got closer I saw a teddy bare and hair on his head. This guy was so restless and combative they had 4 people trying to hold him down. So I just told them that guy was not my husband but good luck. So then I saw another lady called back. Her name was Joyce Trimmel instead of Kimmel. We will be going home soon. Long day but had a steady flow of visitors in surgery lounge.

    Be careful so sorry for your hubbies problems. I know you have spoken so much of how the transplant changed his life. I hope they can resolve this fairly easily.

    Love, love,love you guys. Joyce, indiana
