Yvonne and Joyce – Both my sisters are survivors of breast cancer; oldest sister had it the first time when she was 39. I tried my best to talk her of the surgery the plastic surgeon had suggested [main reason is because of a trial for woman who had been through the same surgery and developed gangrene in both breast and…

Becca – Beautiful violet. I once had very good luck with them; but, for the past couple of years, they just ‘up and die on me’. I only water them once a week because I had been told they don’t like their ‘feet’ wet; but, then they dry out way too much. Until I get my porch ready to use, still have not gotten that door…

Heather – Like what we call a ‘contingency sale contract’ … “I want to buy your house; but, I can’t until I have my house sold.” Usually there is a fee put down ‘if’ they are serious about buying it; or have someone lined up to sell their house to. With the housing market, like it has been in most places in the country…

I agree with Becca - you cannot treat your children, grandchildren, charges ... whatever as if you are friends. I saw this in my DDnL#1's relationship with DOS's first child. She was a good mother-model; but, anything ... Attila the Hun would have been better than what she was growing up in. OMGoodness, I hate to 'think'…

Marcelyn – Both my boys were 3 weeks early. There or about. DOS was due 7/4/1976; came June 16th; DYS was supposed to come in mid-September (glad not because I have problems every year of 9/16 – an anniversary of some bad times). He came 8/31/78. My DMnL had thought about going home, then coming back when he came. I…

Katla – Nope, it was not a Keeshonds. ‘Nuff said. When our DOGD was just being able to see her Daddy (and DDnL#1) on every other weekend visitation and Wednesdays, the teacher told DDnL#1, that she could ALWAYS tell when she had been ‘with her Mom’ or ‘with them’. She also smelled like the bottom of an ashtray and had…

Becky – Last night got an email article from WebMD about sleep apnea. Besides making you stop breathing sometimes up to 400x a night; heart problems, mental problems, it also will increase the changes of stroke. My Neurologist’s ‘nurse’ (and I use that term extremely loosely) informed me that my MRI showed ‘age-related…

Becky – Sleep apnea is bad on your heart, your general ability to ‘think fast on your feet’, makes you feel tired all the time; and, bad on your mental health. I did not realize how bad my sleep patterns were until they put me on a C-pap and I slept 8.5 straight. They actually had to wake me up the next morning. My last…

Lanette – I agree; having to fill out forms … I couldn’t get what I take in the way of medications on the 5 little lines. I had a complicated pregnancy that I put on; because it could have turned into cancer if my OB/GYN had not done a whole lot of research. My middle sister has 2 kids (girl and a boy); but, she will never…

Glad that y’all have enjoyed the jokes. Queenegreene – My DYS used to have a sleep number bed; but, it was not set up by them. He hated it. Now has a new mattress that will sit up on the platform (with drawers) that his DFnL made. He had made one for DDnL#2; so now they have one at both houses. He loves his new mattress…

Becca – Sweetie, sounds like you have experienced your first ‘migraine’ headache. Sure hope this is not going to be a pattern for you. I have them and I feel like my head is going to explode; or that ‘if’ it did … I’d have to feel better. I’ll have to look for that soap. Sounds like a charm. I like coconut oil; but, then I…

I'm glad y'all enjoyed the jokes. When I get something really funny in my email; I do try to share it. Have a GREAT weekend. I'm about to go outside where Louis is to see if there is anything I can do to help. I don't have the energy to tackle my studio even though I need to. Maybe when we have a weekend that starts off…

Pitegny – My BF used to work a very stressful job; and, one lady that had been in Atlanta moved back and both of them had an opportunity to apply for a supervisor’s position; the other lady got it and she made life miserable for everybody working there. She had enough time and age to take early retirement. She came in one…

A Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember ... Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the…

Beth – You’re right about ‘stress and exhaustion’ cause heart palpitations and dizziness … it is scary any way you look at it when you are going through it. Are there any type of school or home with younger people where you son could do whatever he is capable of doing somewhat like a job, maybe ‘teaching’ those things of…

Kate – Do you put anything on it, such as a sauce; if so, what? Tracie – Nothing wears you down than a stressful job. I worked one; but, loved it – exciting; but, I think it had a lot to do with my ‘mental health’. Now, I sit home and don’t do too much other than read, get on the computer, and make trips into town for…

Kate UK – From the looks of that cut of meat; I’d probably say that I ‘think’ it looks like a boneless pork chop. Would not boil it; but, would pan fry it in just a touch of olive oil. Some would probably dredge it in egg and flour before frying it in a pan. It also looks like a smoked piece of ham; which I would bake in…

Barbie - That's good to know because I don't eat Jell-O and hate Gatorade ... too sweet for my liking. Lenora

Nancy – My mother taught me how to make cording. Are you cutting the pieces on the bias (45°) angle to the sides of the material? They have little things that you can use ‘chalk’ with to be able to see the markings on the back side of the material. Then you’d lay them face down matching up every other strip to form one…

YinxFed - I can't wait to watch "This is Us" ... I guess "Code Black" is finished for the season. :s Watch all the "Chicago" series and they will have a combined on this week. Looking for the new season to start, too; on all my favorite shows. ;) Lenora

TNToni - Thanks for reminding me to do something that I had written down; just have not put into Excel to print it off to take to my MD. Lisa - I am not sure which birthday I had trouble with - whether it was 60 or 65; because the same year Louis turned 70/75. Actually, I don't think it really hit me until we met with our…

Re – I don’t know if you have any insurance, or not; but, hospitals and MDs office will try to get as much as possible to cover those who don’t, even charging them more. Also true of someone with Medicare that is primary. If you came up with the deductible, quite often they try to get it first. IF you are on Social…

Pip – I’ve got 4 granddaughters that I buy cards for; so what is one more. I read them, too, trying to make sure that it ‘fits’ each ones’ personality. Both sons, always find birthday cards for us that we know aren’t just ‘picked up’; but, ‘picked out’. Beth – Sorry about you DH. I hand-delivered my MRI results from…
-
Karen – You’re not alone with ‘family drama’. Heather – I don’t consider myself ‘on a diet’; it is a ‘healthy life change style for me’. I have not [yet] reached my ‘goal’ weight; but, to do so after what I have been through. I think I will work very hard to keep it off. That and I have a good bit of $$$ tied up in doing…

Thanks Re - That worked. I did not 'think' it had, was afraid that my posting (over in my WPP went 'poof'; but, it didn't) ... so; then ... what do I do? Try to cut it in 2 parts because it was LONG, Long, long. That other half, did go 'poof'; but, that is still 'ok' ... "God's arm around my shoulder; and His hand over my…
