Kathleen in Kent, WA - you mentioned your sister was diagnosed with diabetes. A number of gals here have that issue, as does my DH. Smart of you to be pre-emptive! Had a surprise visit tonight from DS#1. He positively glows when he talks about his sweetheart - makes my heart swell and my eyes water! So sorry for those of…

bump..bump..bump Baking sweet potatos for dinner to go with grilled pork loin and veggies. I've been lurking and working. Started on a Christmas stocking for DS#1's sweetheart. And we've been invited to spend Christmas with their family, too. They've been talking marriage and children and all related topics. So precious to…

finally bumping into this part of the thread - not even going to try catching up! Gail, metro ATL

Heather, I'd love to come sit and visit at your cottage! Sounds wonderful to me and I'll be arriving soon!!! Sylvia, the reason they ask for so many items here is that they pool all the supplies as they are brought in, then hand out to all as needed, even the ones who did not bring any into the classroom.

Was it yanniejannie or sylvia asking about the Ebola patient in Atlanta -- we just know what is on the news. Haven't really listened to any local news to know if folks are in an uproar about it. From what I read online they've kept the poor man well-isolated. Of course, we are northwest of Atlanta proper -- OTP (outside…

I'm bumping into August, too! Gail, metro ATL

bump... Gail, metro ATL

DeeDee - saw your comment about a rash. What about purpura? I've had issues with that, especially in the summer, when walking a lot. Had a terrible case on vacation the first time -- lots of heat and lots of walking. Off to work, Gail, metro ATL

When I went to the grocery store today I found some whole chickens for $5, so I bought two and roasted both of them in the oven and DH took them off the bone when they cooled. We had some of the breast meat and homemade mashed potatos with with real gravy for dinner. Delicious! Weird thing today. Today the doorbell rang…

bump!

Caught up on reading all the posts.... Happy weekend to everyone! Beth, the .18 cents is likely a transposition of numbers since it is divisible by 9, so look for something like a .35 vs. .53 / .79 vs a .97, etc, to find your checkbook difference. (I look and look for every last discrepancy, too.) Gail, metro ATL

bump..bump..bump.. Gail metro ATL

I've caught up on reading again, still not chatty though.... Linda in Northern Ontario - of course we remember you! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Gail, metro ATL

bump... caught up again, but just haven't felt too chatty. Gail, metro ATL

a tired bump..... Gail, metro ATL

Bumping in again -- already at page 10! Nice to see everyone popping in -- welcome to the new gals. Was excited to find PB2 at the 'new' Walmart near home. We got a small container to try out. Finally got back to the Y today - I've been AWOL for a couple of months and need to refocus again. I cut the weights way back on…

bumping, but I read the posts. Gail, metro ATL

.....and I'll be the first one bumping in this month. Thanks, Barbie!

bumping in this morning before work. Gail, metro ATL

Carol – I have used the ‘come to Jesus meeting’ phrase before and it made me smile to see that you say it, too! Oddly enough, it was almost always directed toward a child as well! The one in particular has a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks – he’ll be 36. Where does the time go? Anamika – nice to see your post. It…

bumping, too -- just lurking about this week. Gail, metro ATL

Good morning -- I read from yesterday's post forward, but haven't backtracked yet. For those who inquired about the boss - he was released from the hospital yesterday and is on the mend. He had gotten severely dehydrated with the effects from the parasite and so they gave him IV fluids for that and antibiotics to combat…

Bump - I'm woefully behind on the thread and have missed it - I think page 13 was the last one I read. Maybe I can catch up some tonight, but know that I think off everyone and wonder what is going on when I'm away. Working too much -- with the boss so he was ready to go on his family vacation, now trying to help cover…

Here are my red, white & blue flowers for the front porch. So cheery! Here is the first of the puzzle made into seasonal art. (It is 16"x20".) Excited to start the next one! Oh, and I lost my fitbit when we traveled so have to get another. :ohwell: Gail, metro ATL

Bump to mark the new thread....which I posted in the May thread early this morning. Doh! I haven't even lurked since getting back from our trip -- just have spent loads of time working, including yesterday and maybe today, too. We'll see. … yep, I worked 6 more hours today. 50 hours since Weds, yikes! The last pages in May…
