Marcelyn – I know what it is like to have your car crunched. I did it 3x since a year ago, last May. The first I turned in front of a man (thinking I had a green arrow). Second time I backed into a car that I never saw coming around the building, on private property. Since it was on private property the State Patrol was…

Michele – IF your leg starts to ‘swell’ get to the ER or call the MD to see you immediately. A knot plus swelling is what happened to my DDnL#1 after having a baby and being sent home the 2nd day (one night in hospital; then a full week). Louis was put in the hospital that same week because of a ‘kidney stone’ he could not…

Been on vacation for the past 5 days; was SO far behind that I knew I would never, ever catch up with reading all the missed posts. Then I was all the way back to page 43 when I started, lost my typing, then when I came back it was on page 46. So I started typing 'again'; and by the time I got ready to post it was now on…

Michele – Physically I feel ok; except GYN got lab results and is changing my chorestorol medication because what he had me on was not doing anything. He is putting me on another ‘statin’ which supposedly doesn’t have the same side effects that Simvastitim or Crestor do. Got to the K-Mart after eating lunch with friend and…

Chris - Magnetic lashes - thus far I have not found any that work like they advertise. First ones I got were just about less than 1/2 inch wide, sort of stiff and did not follow my eyelids; so I returned them, to get my $$$ back. Then I googled them and they are put out by several different companies, with One Two Lashes…

Gee, hope you have better luck with Comcast as for their time range than we've ever had with Windstream (only ISP in this area) ... anything form 8 - 12 might mean they'll show up after lunch; anything from 12 - 5; if they show up, they don't have what they need to fix the problem. About the same with DirecTV; but, Dish…

Lanette and Katla – We had a neighbor (across the small side street) who set out poisoned food and really did not care what pet she killed; provided she succeeded. Sister had named one of her cats “Dorothy” after the Mother of a HS boyfriend. She delighted in seeing the neighbor come out in the afternoon to sit on her…

Re - It's still me ... just totally 'bummed' over recent events. Feel like I am not going to be at all happy with weigh-in tomorrow. Get to the point when I know, this isn't good and I am quickly running out of money. I need to reset my goals and work towards the smaller ones and not get upset when I know that vacation is…

Surprise, surprise, surprise ... don't have anything to talk about.

Terry – Great looking room, you don’t normally find one that nice. I’m with Michele about going parasailing. My DDnL#2 and DMYGD went this past summer; and, loved it. After their honeymoon and zip line experience, they came home and put one up for her at the lake house. She loves it! Built a platform, then it goes out…

Re - Right at this moment, I am not particularly 'liking myself' ... seems like the scales go up and down so much it is difficult to see any progress. Exercise for the past 4 weeks has been difficult; but, Wednesday we are supposed to go to Daytona Beach; provided the house is not damaged on the inside. Outside was ok.…

Marcelyn – When we had the bad tornado here in Dougherty County that was 1 ½ miles wide and stayed on the ground for 70 miles through about 5 counties; my BF’s son, who had inherited his step-Dad’s house (totally demolished) hasn’t paid because his name was not on the policy which he had paid. Step-Dad was the one who…

As a child; Christmas was magical. We could make a Santa letter list a few weeks before Christmas and we got 3 things of significance. I think my most memorable Christmas was the Christmas I was 3. I got a 'red' wooden rocking horse and a head-to-toe cowgirl outfit, ... including a whip. That year I got the 'only' doll…

Barbie - Sorry that I said you would look at the 'flagged' comments. I did not really know how it worked. As for Christmas here; only Trey and his family are around and only after they open up Christmas, sometimes they come late in the day. Thanksgiving is 'big' for us. Not so much since Will and Tami and Mallory have to…

To ALL the “Newbies” – On the last day of the month Barbiecat will post a ‘link’ that will take you to that page; make sure you ‘bookmark’ it by clicking on the outline of the star at the upper right-hand corner of the posts … it will turn ‘yellow’; after that when you hit the community on the Home page; it will take you…

I'M SO FAR BEHIND; and, know I would never catch up. It is still long, I did not proof-read it. Just wanted to say things. Heather – I don’t remember if it was whooping cough or the croup that made my boys get stuffed up. I know that one can be treated with antibiotics and the other sort of has to run its course. The…

I love a good lightning and thunder storm. Could not believe my family allowed me to sleep right through one just after I got my Cpap and was sleeping 10+ hours a night. Even the kids came down to stay and I did not even know they were here. I like the smell of the air right before a good storm. We’ve sat on our swing on…
-
Michele - How did the shower go today? Been thinking about you and Jess. Hope all went well and you did not 'chew 10-penny nails' all day. Hope that Will isn't so busy with his job that he is leaving Tami alone this weekend. I had written them an email saying that they way they will 'grieve' will be different and they…

The more of a westerly turn that Irma makes, the more of a direct hit we'll get here. I'm sure the kids won't be staying in their 'tin can'; so I guess we'll have guests all Sunday and Monday. If it rains like they say they expect it to, we won't be able to get out of the road (probably). At least they ditched it somewhat…

We've moved most of the things that need to be moved; turned them all upside down as well. When Joyce talked about her Cracker Barrel rocking chair made me remember the Brumby Rocker I got when my Mother died. My Pop had worked for them in Marietta after getting out of the Navy. I have several pieces his had made. A tool…

Karen from Virginia - No need to apologize about posting about soon-to-be grandbaby. I really think that I was terribly 'insensitive' to Will who had called me to tell me they did not find a heart beat (meaning that Tami has lost the baby). This was the last egg that got used for their IVF session and I asked him, 'if they…

Barbiecat - Apparently, they must be spray-painting your house. Where the white is on the 'old' color - is that going to be a 'different' color than the 'new' color or is it going to be the same color all over?

Joyce – Sounds like you have the same neurologist I do. Only in town, every other week (7 days). Tells me come back in 6 months; and, that means I ‘might’ get in to see him, if I am lucky, in 8. Occasionally, my GYN will reschedule; but, usually see him in a week. Karen in Virginia – I open up a word processing program…
-
Ladies - I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I'm still subject to crying spells when I think about 'how happy they were when she got a positive pregnancy test; only to have it shot down when they did not find a heartbeat'. I wrote her an email; hopefully, that was the right thing to do. I just don't know what…
-
Sad news - DDnL#2 lost the baby. They drove to the specialist in Jackson, MS to have a sonogram and hopefully hear the heartbeat ... there wasn't any. I know she is devastated. I doubt that Will is taking it any better. I wish I could be there to 'hold them in my arms' - but; have to do that from 500 miles away. If this…
-
Lisa – Love the “Not my circus, not my monkey!” Pip – Love the nails!!!!! Michele – When the OB implanted the embryo, he said it looked really good and he wanted to ‘pray over them AND with them’. They go for the sonogram on Tuesday to hear the heartbeat. DDnL#2 has been journaling this for over a year. We all really feel…
-
Dana – We’re actually right across the LA/MS line in Clayton, LA; when we get ready to leave we will head home on Sunday so Louis will have a day to rest up before next week starts over with its grind. We postponed our TX trip until spring, hopefully it will be planned so that we can come back through Louisiana and maybe…
-
Yvonne – I think it is important to not look at the total you need or want to lose; as it does get overwhelming. Set smaller goals, then reward yourself with something not related to food, a pair of new earrings, maybe a top to go with a pair of slacks that fit you. Numbers can get ‘in the way’ of success when we think we…

Yeah – I don’t like TomCat being nice about the dogs either. Don’t know his relationship to either. However, if he really doesn’t care for them (such as ‘if’ Allie considered them her pets); would not put it past him to put them in the pound the day she is supposed to come ‘visit’ with them. I guess I think the worst of…
