    Here is an Olivia fix:

    Going to eye doctor in a.m. for evaluation of my enormous floater - seeing retinal specialist to be sure it's just a vitreous thing and to see if ANYTHING can be done. It drives me crazy. Evaluation will take 3-4 hours and will probably be exhausting. Then we take granddaughter and her outdoor kitty to vet for shots and tests. Hoping for healthy outcome for her beloved kitty, who has had no vet care for several years.

    What an adorable little one! Hope all goes well with the floater evaluation. I have several and you are right that they are so annoying especially in bright light. I sent you an email re: visit in VA.

    Leigh in France: We're hoping to see our son for a little while today before he has to go back to the east coast. I miss having him near enough that we can see him frequently. It had been nearly a year since we last saw him when we visited Virginia. The time we spent a few days ago was golden. Every minute is something I treasure and I'm hoping for some minutes today. :heart:

    Lanette: DH has an ipad and it is his best assistant. He reads books on it, chats with family, and stays in touch with what is important to him. I just asked him and he says he simply deletes objectionable pop-ups. I don't seem to have issues on my laptop. I wonder what it is that makes the ipads so much more vulnerable. :huh:

    Felicia: We've enjoyed Washington State ferry rides over the years but have never taken the one from Bremerton to Seattle. I don't think it is on our short list of things to do now. DH is having so much trouble with motion sickness that he won't even walk down the boat ramp to stand on our dock. :sad:

    Heather: We tried really hard to like quinoa because it is a nutrition powerhouse, but it just doesn't please us. I feel like I'm trying to eat bird seed and don't like it. I love brown rice and sweet potatoes, though. :flowerforyou:

    Karen: Sending good thoughts for your pup. Our DDIL has a 16 year old pound pup that has been the constant companion she needs for years. Our son has to travel for his job frequently and Sammy is always there for her. I often think of our dogs as guardian angels. :heart:

    Re: You are doing great. Onederland is a nice place to be. :bigsmile:

    Tere in RVA: You are beautiful, now and in the past. :flowerforyou:

    Becca: I hope your trip to Boardman goes well. :star:

    Ginger: The boot/sandals are hilarious. Thanks for sharing! :laugh:

    Chris in MA: Prayers heading your way. :flowerforyou:

    Allie: I'm going hunting for Heather's YouTube clip. I am curious about it. It seems to have helped you put things into perspective and that is very good for you. :smiley:


    I had a late meeting last night and although I'm tired, I couldn't stay in bed and get the rest I need. Hoping to hold things together today. There may be a nap in the near future for me.

    Karen in Virginia – Olivia’s eyes are so dark; like our youngest granddaughter’s. It will be interesting to see her when her hair comes in. All 3 of my granddaughters were born with a head full of hair. So, unless I see pink or a bow on a baby, I rarely assume it is a boy. My oldest had a head full of hair; DYS had hair, just not a whole lot of it; but, by the time we cut it the first time, he had a head full and it curled up on the ends. He also had a black eye when he had his year-old picture. Had fallen against the FP hearth; but, the photographer was able to feather it and cover most of it; but, it is still quite visible.

    Joyce – I haven’t found a pause button, yet – and DOGD called last night and said, she had cried because the realization that graduation is in December and she doesn’t know what to do. She had to make her own MD appointment yesterday and had never done that. I find it hard to believe she’s gone 4 years between her physical for college. Said they ought to teach students how to make appointments, do a budget, learn how to use a checkbook, named off so many things that over years we’ve learned. Worried about her boyfriend and taking the necessary tests to get in the PT school. That’s the ‘next’ biggie in their lives.

    Ginger – Guess I won’t be able to bring my cowboy boots. Just can see this happening.

    Allie – Sorry you’re sick; but, with all the stress you’ve been going through, you probably got sick because your immune system was low.

    WOW! That link that Lanette sent was TomCat personified. RUN!!!!!

    Heather – I will I could have liposuction on my thighs; but, that isn’t going to happen, so I guess I will just have to live with the lumpiness. The shorts I bought yesterday are longer and look better than the short-shorts I wear on weigh-in day. They are not very comfortable (the short-shorts); but if I wore regular shorts they’d probably make me weigh more. Wearing them is about as close as I can get to wearing nothing at all.

    I've thought about buying a cheap pair of boots from a thrift shop and trying to create the boot/sandal - just for kicks.

    Becca: It was a hard thing when my son went off to the Army, and he made the choice to join when he was past 25. I'm sure this will not be an easy transition for you, but I don't recommend getting pregnant again so your nest won't be empty. :noway: Just teasing. :wink: It will be a gradual process, but you and DH have a chance to have some adventures together. I hope you will choose something fun and get started right away. Going to our son's graduation from basic, and going back for his graduation from Special Forces School were good things for us. They helped us see how good this life choice was for him, and we felt much happier seeing him happy. It also gave us a little adventure. :heart:

    Ginger: Your son is a cutie. I don't much like the cowboy boots with shorts, but the dislike is all based on my feeling that the boots would irritate bare legs. I imagine how I would feel and I don't think I'd like it. :flowerforyou:

    trishayla: Losing 50 pounds over a 2 year time period is a great accomplishment. It is much healthier than yoyo dieting or starving and making yourself sick. Congratulations on a job well done. Do you have a goal weight in mind? Stop by here often for encouragement and support. :star:


    DS will be stopping by this afternoon on his way north. He has some things to do at the base at Fort Lewis and will fly back to Virginia where he is currently stationed. We'll miss him but his wife will be happy to have him back. :heart:

    Lanette – Speaking of ‘pressed’ jeans; reminds me of my former/late boss who sent his jeans to the cleaners (whose parents lived next door to him for a while), so he would have a crease down the front and back and wore them with no socks and boat shoes. He always looked well put together (even with his beer gut).
    I had a hysterectomy at 35; so I don’t have much body hair; I think I ‘have’ to shave once a month and that is usually only when it is hot and I would be wearing shorts or a bathing suit (which I have not had on this summer).

    Ginger – my DYS will wear short with his work boots; which are just a little shorter than these cowboy boot and solid brown. He can pull it off, mainly because he walks with a swagger and that is more of what you see when you look at him. I’ve got 2 great-looking sons, if I do say so myself.

    Meredith – Our DOGD called us last night after making her first MD appointment, on her own. She graduates in December and said it has just become all too real for her now. I told her ‘welcome to being an adult’. She said she thought schools (HS and college) should have classes to prepare, first in HS what to expect in college; 2nd from college to prepare them for going out into the ‘real world’. I told her, even if she had to cut class, she really needed to go to a ‘job fair’ that usually get put on every semester. She agreed. Her boyfriend is going to be taking the ‘test’ that will allow him to get into PT school. There are 3 in the state beside UGA, which he doesn’t want to go to because of its size.

    Becca – Enjoy the next 2 weeks while baby boy is still home. He will be a ‘different man’ the next time he comes home as he was as a ‘boy/teenage child’. You’ll be very proud of him, I am sure. I cried a lot when my DYS went off to college (although I was working at the time); same when he transfer ‘out of state’ to Mississippi State; I got tired of crying so I just enjoy the few times I get to see him. When we go out, it will have been a full year since I have seen him and his family.

    Katla – I have a pair of cowboy boots, and surprisingly, they are my most comfortable shoes I have to my name.
