Betsy Always glad to see you! Machka I think I said it, but many congratulations on your accomplishment in finishing your degree—and dropping some of your other responsibilities. You deserve breathing space and to make the summer one that is wholly enjoyable! Barbara AHMOD Glad Joe’s feeling better. Hope it doesn't mean…

Thank you, Barbie, you are such a rock for all of us. Re: October goals - While I "accomplished" the goals I set, it was not through active attention, as they were all pushed to the side. So, on the balance sheet of time, October was pretty much a write-off. Such is life. For November, I'll try this again: * Be healthier *…

Halloween with the grands...

Rori: So much love and support headed your way, my dear. I'm so sorry the news about your brother was not good. Take care, thinking of you, sending all the healing thoughts for all of you. Heather: You said: "So many women on this thread with much bigger problems than mine." You know my opinion on comparative pain... our…

Hello, all, Such wonderful images of the things we make! Very impressed. Mornings are best, and I am able to drive again, so took myself off to the early voting place yesterday, and exercised my freedom to vote. Also got all my COVID hair length cut off, which did absolute wonders for my mood. I didn't plan to do so until…

Beth, Hope your dad’s mouth procedure goes very well. Hope things settle with both sons… Tracey, Your grands look (and sound) like such fun. So does Ember! Sue in WA, So nice to see you – Is your mom still with you? Hope she and you and your DD are doing well. Kate, Loved the autumn pics! So glad you’re feeling better and…

Morning, afternoon and evening, all, Thought I'd drop in and post a few pics of Levi. I appreciate all of the pictures of the grands, as we watch these little guys grow and change over the years. In the spoiler, a few pics my daughter sent me while I was missing in action: Later, Lisa

Hello, all, Up at my usual hour of 1:30 a.m., but will go back to bed after I put this down. I know y'all have been quite worried, as well as curious, and I am ever grateful for your presence and your support. I tried to write down the saga and even I got bored, so I've got it in the spoiler, but it's definitely the…

Hello, all, Just checking in - I still read everything, but still brain fogged enough that I can't hold them long. I continue to improve incrementally. This is my first day without some with me in nearly three weeks, so slightly daunting, but I'm feeling physically well enough to deal with things. Don't mean to be cryptic,…

Progressing, but slowly, and I am not a patient patient. My daughter leaves Saturday, and her presence has been a godsend, as well as a joy... Reading, but responses just beyond me still. Love y'all... Lisa

On my phone, so a short note. I'm doing significantly better, the ER visits were the worst, and am slowly improving. Skimmed when I could, many congratulations to Machka! Kim knows how much I appreciate her keeping you updated. Thank you all for your amazing support, you were a light in a dark time for me and I am ever…

Happy 33rd Barbara! Enjoy your lunch.

Happy birthday, Heather and Okie! KJ, have tremendous fun with those grands... :)

Lanette - Yes, I'm on one of the tetracyclines.

Morning, afternoon and evening, all: 👍Survive without getting cooties. Didn't get COVID, but SIBO has been no picnic. 👍Stay within budget. Made it. 👍Be lighter going out than I am going in. On August 31, I was at 194, September 30, I was at 178. That brings me to 41 pounds lost since March 31. Glad about the result, if not…

Thank you, Kim, I have been reading when I could get my eyes to focus, but the fatigue drags at me, and by the time I'm done reading, I just go lay down again. That is somewhat improved - I can walk down the hallway without needing to sit down, and can read for short periods of time. It's a really good thing the…

Hi, all, Just dropping by to say I know I've been unusually silent - I have been reading, but am in survival mode mostly. I do OK in the mornings, but the afternoons and many of the nights are ... bad. Just tired and getting through one day at a time right now, but I'm here. Later, Lisa

Morning, afternoon and evening, all, (((Julie and Kate))) Katla: Many good wishes for Schooner's surgery and quick recovery. Debbie: Happy anniversary! Re masks, etc.: With all of my health mess going on, I'm religiously wearing my mask and still staying six feet away from everyone, but people walk up behind you in a store…

Morning, afternoon and evening, all, Not contributing much lately, sorry. The mornings are bearable but the afternoons and evenings are no fun. The VA has screwed up mailing my prescriptions, so the chances that I will get them before Tuesday or Wednesday are now slim to none. The antibiotics will take a bit to help even…

Vicki - I'm sorry the hives are back! The VA is moving slowly getting those meds to me. Hopefully tomorrow. Lisa

Morning, afternoon and evening, all, Medical stuff: For the ladies experiencing struggles in the marriage, most people here have heard me say this. What's upsetting is that your expectations are being violated. One thing I've found helpful is noting to my husband what my expectations are. They don't read minds and don't…
