Just one more note from me and I'll leave you all alone for the rest of the day. I just had the most amazing thing happen. We walked the dogs across the dam and of course Spot wanted to wade in at the boat ramp, so he was completely soaked. I like that because then he and I walk back to the cabin by ourselves (so he…

Terri, how frustrating! I'm sorry to hear you are so stressed. I hope you can take a walk, or a bath, or read a book, and just get your mind off of it for a while. Maybe the answer will come when you aren't thinking about the problem. Sometimes that happens with me. We did go out in the canoe this afternoon, and it was…

Alison - his hernia sounds like a tiny taste of Karma to me. Heather - can you share your pesto recipe? It's such a beautiful day here today. We went to swim our laps at the Y early and now we are at the lake. Hubby is working on fixing the rotted wood under the front door while I'm totally goofing off. I'm watching Molly…

Grits, I have a pottery studio in our little downtown. It's a little playhouse for me, mostly, although sometimes I do sell things. It seems like if I keep the door unlocked people come in and throw money at me to buy things I didn't like very well in the first place. I'm never very happy with the stuff I make, and feel a…

Good morning everyone! It sure feels like Saturday. The kids didn't have school today so I got to sleep late. Or at least as late as Spot would let me sleep. About 6:30 he started trying to get me up. I called him up onto the bed with me and he laid there for a few minutes, then jumped down and started fussing again. Silly…

Hello again. The workshop is over and it actually went very well. Everybody seemed to have a good time and they made some really nice pieces. Now they have to dry and I'll fire them and put clear glaze on them. Then the program director is going to mail them to each person. Before the program director arrived another guy…

Just taking a break, checking for the pictures of the golden doodle. I'll check back later tonight. Meg, I only missed one day. Don't know why everyone worried, but it's very sweet. Sylvia

More information please!! And pictures!

Katla - I'm so terribly sorry! Hugs to you and your daughter. I got some frustrating news this afternoon. I'm supposed to be putting on a tile workshop for some art teachers on Friday evening,so I'm thinking I still have two full days to get ready. I'm taking my time and not stressing out over it. The woman in charge told…

Grits, mixed breeds are wonderful, in my opinion. They are so unique. Nobody else in the world has a dog quite like Bruno or Spot. And I truly believe that mixes are much smarter than purebreds. At least that has been my experience. Our purebred whippet, Molly, is dumb as a box or rocks, but Bruno and Spot (Bruno in…

Becca - oh, how I understand! I too am addicted to computer stuff and waste many, MANY hours every day doing nothing but playing mahjong and freecell, reading the news (about 10 times a day), checking for e-mail, and stuff like that. My life has really suffered because of it, too. I've only recently discovered facebook,…

One more thing I wanted to tell you. I found a really easy recipe on facebook and tried it last night. Even Hubby liked it. Boneless Skinless chicken breasts Basil Pesto sauce Sliced tomatoes Mozzarella cheese Put the chicken in baking dish. Spoon on Pesto sauce. Place tomato slices over the top. Cover with mozzarella…

Hello again! I managed to read through the last four pages and made some notes. Heather - I'm going to look for the White Road book you mentioned. I love to read that kind of stuff. Sharon - My appointment with the specialist is November 10th. CLEatMoulton, Sislee, Teresa (AZ), and crose0056 - Welcome! Tell us more about…

Good morning!!! I'm fine, just got knocked off the internet for a while. I use my phone for a hot spot and my carrier decided they didn't like that. I'm back up and running today, though. Yesterday was busy. Took two dogs to the vet at the same time. Molly has a hole in her skin about the size of a dime. We don't know when…

Good morning! My goodness it's a pretty morning! We just finished breakfast and now I have dishes washing in the d/w, clothes in the dryer, and more waiting to go in. I have a loaf of banana bread in the oven. The kids are coming over today, so I need to go food shopping. I'm planning to make pancakes for supper. They love…

Lisa, that was really fascinating information. I actually had toxoplasmosis in 1976 when I was 4 months pregnant, and yes, I had been cleaning the litter box. I nearly died and VERY nearly lost my baby. Your post makes me wonder how much of his emotional trouble in his teens came from that exposure. I know most teens are…

Love all the kitty pics! They really put a smile on my face. My tummy has started feeling better now. I managed to eat a bowl of cream of wheat and it's staying down. So, my little crisis is over and no visit to the emergency room was required. My appointment with the specialist is on November 10th. I'm taking notes about…

I apologize for things I said earlier (about my fear regarding the school shootings) that may have sparked the political discussion. It was inappropriate on this thread. Sylvia

Oh my, I'm sitting here at the studio (in my pearls) having a full-blown attack of the gut monster. It's just the stomach pain right now, but I can feel the nausea starting. This really stinks. And it's not like I ate anything bad either. Nothing at all since my cereal at breakfast. It just seems to happen for no reason.…

Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful morning here, but cool. It looks like we are going to have an autumn after all. After I dropped the kids at school I hit a few garage sales and scored a brand new jacket (reversible) for $1 and a pearl necklace (they look real to me but surely aren't) for $1 and an electric griddle…

Hugs to those in Oregon tonight. I've been glued to the news today in terror. On a personal level...My hubby teaches chemistry in a university. Chemistry teachers are generally disliked, and my hubby is a pretty tough teacher, so he is more disliked than most. And we live in Hicksville where people love their guns more…

Barbie, Bernie is beautiful.

Terri F, I think you should take neither one of those friends. Can you choose a relative or other friend?

Irish Terri, do you mean that you don't know what hump day is? If that is your question, Wednesday is hump day of the week because it's all down hill from there. Monday and Tuesday are uphill. I'm at the Y with the grands. All three are in the same gymnastics class, which was meant to make my life easier, but all the drama…

Good morning everyone! It was foggy and spitting rain this morning, so my friend and I agreed not to walk this morning. I met my son at WalMart and helped him do some shopping, then we went to Walgreens to get some things. He was pleased to find that the Albuterol vials that he uses in his breathing treatments cost about…

Fràgmoss, what kind of clay work do you do? I have a pottery studio in our little downtown. I do mostly functional wheel thrown stuff, but honestly have not done much over the summer. Too busy with grandkids. My iPad somehow put an accent mark over your name. It thinks it's smarter than I am. Usually it's right. JanetR,…

Hello all! It's been a busy day, but I still didn't accomplish much. I did call our vet and ask about Bruno's situation, and they asked me to bring him in so the doc could have a look. He pronounced Bruno fit as a fiddle, trimmed his nails, and sent me off with zero bill and a business card with his home phone, in case…

Me too! It was pretty interesting to watch.

Oh my gosh! What a wonderful son! Your mother is one lucky woman. Please invite her to check out this group and see if she gets any ideas or inspiration from the rest of us. If not, she will find a friendly group of interesting friends. Maybe that would be enough to start. We believe in baby steps. We all were in her shoes…

Margaret, I'm so sorry about your aunt! How very sad. But I suppose going suddenly is some comfort, not lingering in pain. Hugs to you. :'( Karen, maybe you could do a 5k run/walk or something to celebrate. That's what I want to do when I get to my goal. It'll be a while. I still have 30 pounds to go and have been stalled…
