Lin – I have thought about getting some kind of embossing plates and machine, but have not done so yet. I have so many craft things I have not used, so guess I should start with those. I did get a Brother Scan and Cut about 6weeks ago that I have to get into using. Thought it would be good for card making and quilt…

Sneakers, just read my post, I should proof read before I post... please ignore the typos and errors ..... Quite for quit,... etc. Mae

Sandy – I fell Dec 2013 on my icy cement front doorsteps and hit the back of my head. I try to stay positive, but some days are not so easy! How does Babe's ANS failure affect him? Glad your knee is better. Lovely picture and the cut and color came out nice. You have a very nice smile! :-) Lin – Nice card! Did you do the…

WOW! what a prolific group! Over 10 pages and 200+ posts since I posted just a couple days ago! Not sure I will be able to keep up and keep everyone straight. I get "fog Brain" easy nd easily overwhelmed since my accident. I have started a few herbs from seeds and getting ready to start some veggies. I can sit and scoot…

BUZZ – Sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Hospice is AMAZING! I did Hospice Nursing for a few years before We lost my sister. I became the caregiver for my sister/uncle/nephew/Mother in the last several yrs. I am familiar with hypoglycemic reactions and they are hard to witness. Three of my sisters were type I (insulin…

Hello Golden Sneakers! I am back! Just a quick hello tonight. I was here originally back in 2011 - 2013 then had a fall on icy cement steps and have been dealing with a TBI (traumatic brain injury). My major problems are dealing with AP (apical pulse) and B/P, more on that at another time. A brief explanation is my AP &…

Katla – Hope you make it through the flood period unscathed. Penny – Like your 'Extra victory' Beth – Glad Hubby feels better after this surgery. The Nurse/tech should have seen that he urinated and measured his output -status post surgery (seen by doing a bladder scan). Hope he does not have complications. Paula –…

Heather UK – The patties were good TY I love seafood but due to > cholesterol I rarely have shrimp anymore :-( I also love winter squashes. Garlic is part of my base seasonings, along with onion, celery, and cumin. Hope your boiler is fixed. Chrisi n MA – Good luck with the PB! My son dispatches for a company that picks up…

Well, I am back after a few yrs. break. I fell on the ice and hit my head on my cement steps and had a concussion with TBI ( traumatic brain injury) that knocked my (ANS) Autonomic Nervous System 'wonky' Dec./13. There have been ups and downs (which most people have) and difficulties regulating my B/P and Pulse (AP) which…

Computer acting up.... just lost all I typed x2! Guess means bedtime. Will finish from notes tomorrow.

OOPS What am I doing wrong, thought I had that BOLD thing figured out,Guess not LOL!

Took short 'walk' break so not sit too long. Dr. Katie - I understand your being bored at home alone everyday. The pocket money will be nice, but just getting out and doing something needed is fulfilling. Your sister is lucky to have you. It is hard to function in someone else's place. Heather- Your idea of growth with age…

Boy is that a little strange! MareI commiserate, have history of 'Pulmonary Storms" and PEs. Instead of not eating greens I try to keep my intake consistent. I had built strength and did well til had concussion/TBI after fall on ice and hitting head on cement steps. A resting AP (Pulse) of 54 is normally considered low…

Well, here goes! Tried to catch up, wrote notes now am typing them. Have had to take a few breaks 'cause legs go numb sitting after awhile and have history of PE's and blood clots. First trying to figure out this B - Bold print set up! LOL

WOW! A lot to catch up on. Will try tomorrow. My Leak went from drips to non stop stream and flooded around furnace. Had 2 outlets that were 'sizzling' . My brother (electrician) and Nephew, hi son, (plumber) came Friday and Saturday to fix problems. They only charged for parts... what a savings! Thankful for family help.…

WOW! I thought I caught up last night in reading the posts here....I return to type tonight and there are another 3 pages! This is a prolific group, not sure how well I will do keeping up!? GAYLE - I am in Maine and am 60 yrs. old. I last saw my PCP 1st of July and will see him again in late Oct./early Nov. I have to have…

Hi! I just finished reading several pages of posts to familiarize myself with everyone but now am too tired to type it all. I wrote notes. I will type them here tomorrow :- ) I did walk up the road to a neighbors and visited, it was delightful 'cause her Hubby had air conditioner on high. I only have fans to try and cool…

Sorry last was was soooooo long! :o

DARN! I just typed probably 15-20 lines here to update my status and it all disappeared! I HATE TYPING! Here goes again. I injured my right hand/arm/shoulder in 7/2012 had to wait for surgeries (hand/thumb/wrist/shoulder) til 11/2012, returned to work 5/2013. Took Family medical leave 8/2013 to help with care of my Mom.…

Thank you Janet, I was clicking the wrong star :)

Trying to make this thread easier to find, .... the star will not turn yellow :-( What am I doing wrong?

How do I make this one of "my groups" so I can find it easier? I am 60 yrs old. I am a repeater, was here in 2010-2012. At that time I made friends with 'Buzz' and Sandy who were in this group at that time. Barbie cat was also here then. I am not tech savy and do not want to lose this group. When I get back I will fill you…
