Good morning everyone! Yesterday was mostly wonderful. Hubby drove me to KC and we visited a couple dozen galleries and saw some amazing ceramics. One of my favorite shows is what's called the International Cone Box Show. The potters make tiny works that can fit inside a fairly small cardboard box that pyrometric cones…

Hello everyone! I'm sorry to worry you all. I've been so busy. Hubby and the kids are all on spring break. We kept them a few days while my son and his "wife" were fighting. We are told they have split up for good this time. She went nuts and completely trashed his apartment, dumping big bottles of soda, knocked over a…

Heather, the baby is BEAUTIFUL. Especially the nose. Today is another beautiful day here. We are loving this weather. I don't know where I left off, but Sunday we had the kids over for dinner and that was fun. I had ordered new swim suits for the girls and they arrived so they tried them on. They fit nicely and they liked…

Joyce, yes, the kids were very interested, especially when the transplant lady told us how bad she was and how much better she feels now. I'm sure they are wishing their dad could feel that way.

What a day! Hubby and I took the grandkids to Kansas City to that support group meeting. For nearly three hours we sat and talked to a dozen or so people who have the same illness as my son, along with their caregivers, spouses, and relatives. It was really, really interesting. We've never met anyone before who has it. We…

I can't remember if I ever posted this. I've been thinking of that cat again today. Still no word.

Good morning! It's a beautiful day here in Kansas. Spring has really sprung! This morning I got a call from my son asking if I would please hire someone to clean his apartment. Hallelujah! I've been offering for two years. I've been insisting for the last three months. NOW he finally agreed to it. So, I posted a request on…

Good morning everyone. It said there were 107 new messages this morning, so there's no way I can read them all. I hope everyone is doing well and feeling marvelous! Last night was a bad night for my son, thus a bad night for the rest of the family. He refused to go to the hospital (again), so he's just trying to suffer…

Good morning everyone. Yesterday was a bust. I never made it to the doctor, but spent about 3 hours searching for the kitty with a group of about 40 other people. Still no luck. We wondered if it hid somewhere and died. Poor thing. We were supposed to have a co-op meeting last night, so I got busy and cleaned up my…

The cough came back, but I did not make it to my appointment with the Doctor. I was on my way there when I noticed a black cat sitting by the side of the street. It looked like it had a stick on its back. I backed up to take another look and was horrified to see that it had an ARROW sticking completely through its body!…

When I was young (and in the military) I was 5'6". Now, I'm slightly under 5'4". OK, maybe more like 5'2". It seems I'm getting shorter all the time. My bone density tested just fine though - even on the high side. The doc wants me to come in at 1:30 to get checked out, and what do you know, I have not coughed in a couple…

Good morning everyone. I'm still sick as a dog. This crud is hanging on way too long. Can't stop coughing. I'm calling the doctor's office and see what they suggest. Not much to report otherwise. My weight continues to climb. I'm afraid to actually get on the scale, but I know I'm growing out of my clothes and all my loose…

Went to the Kansas caucus this afternoon, then home. We aren't going to try going to the lake this weekend. My chest is killing me from all the coughing, and my throat is so sore I can't swallow. Just quickly checking in. Good night all. Sylvia

Sorry for being MIA again. My flu came back with a vengeance. Still feel awful, but today is caucus day, so I have to feel better by 2:00. My hips are killing me, so I'm going to call the doc and take the next step. She was talking about injections. The anti inflammatory meds made me really constipated, so I quit those…

DJ, no, my studio buddy doesn't have much interest in the co-op. He doesn't really want to sell pottery, he wants to give it away, like for empty bowls, or charity auctions. He doesn't need the money. Marcelyn, my uninterrupted studio time was interrupted after all with more drafting jobs. Oh well. That's what pays the…

Good morning everyone! My co-op friends and I went to a meeting this morning to present our gallery to the chamber of commerce, hoping to drum up some funding. I did not think it went well, but the other three did, so hopefully I'm wrong. The city manager seemed to focus on how we needed to have art classes for children,…

Good morning! And it's a much better morning, too! The flu bug seems to have found other accommodations. My goals for March: Get back on track!!!!! Get back to logging my food. Find some way to exercise every day. Stop complaining so much. Read and post every day. Lose 4 pounds this month.

Alison, do what you want to do for yourself!!! You always do everything for other people. This time you need to do for yourself. Don't let them guilt you into it. And why do you need Tom's permission to do anything? Just go to the wedding.

Good morning! Well, I suppose it's good. I'm coming down with the flu, or something like it. Sore throat, stuffy head, runny nose, nausea, headache, body aches, etc. (Yes, I had a flu shot.) The kids all had it last week so my van is a rolling germ factory. My son is down with it too, and that's especially dangerous for…

We just got home from the lake, hubby was sitting on the sofa and Spot came up to him wagging his tail and holding his fabric frisbee. Hubby got up and went outside with him. AAAWWWW! How sweet! Of course the other two went along. Hubby's conversion to a Spot lover is complete.

happy birthday MIRIAM! <3

Marcelynh!!!! Another potter!!!! I'm so happy to meet you! Where are you from? What kind of pottery do you do? Wheel, hand building, molds? Do you have your own place or use a community studio? Tell me more! I have a small studio in our little downtown (southeast Kansas). I do mostly wheel thrown stuff, and some hand built…

I'm afraid I don't understand the question. We do lots of stuff, and we are using MFP. And yes, we chat and update each other. Is that a problem? Sylvia

Hello out there in happy land! I hope you are all having a great weekend. After the Y this morning I spent a few hours at the studio mixing some new glaze recipes. Now I have some tests in the kiln. Then we came to the lake. We've already walked the dogs and have settled in to relaxing mode. I have a speckled dog snoring…

Well, it happened. We went to a dinner tonight with his chemistry department and a retired professor and his wife were telling us how one of their dogs disappeared, and they really miss him. Their other dog misses him, too, and they want to get another dog. We were talking about Spot - the dog that hubby hated and was…

Cheri, thanks for your input. I really value your opinion because a. I know that you are devoted to those with special needs and would not advise anything that was against their best interests. b. You agree with me. It's hard for me to put things into words sometimes so they sound logical and not just mean. If it were me,…

Janetr, maybe we could all strive to be Pips in what's left of THIS life. I'd love to be a Pip. Maybe Pip could give lessons.

Good morning all! Last night went awfully well. We had more than 40 people attend the meeting, and 19 of those already filled out an application to join. We have a dozen or so more who wanted to join but couldn't make the meeting. So, we are off to the races! I really think this is going to work out. My little part of the…
