So sad. Today Winnie The Poo exploded while we were gone.

Oh, I forgot to tell you all something funny. I stopped at GNC this morning to get some women's 50+ mega vitamins and the kid at the desk said I got the wrong ones. He said these are for women OVER 50! I said I AM over 50. Does he work on commission or something? Or maybe there's a tip jar? Silly boy.

Mary, for some reason they stopped sending me the daily jokes. I may have to re-subscribe or something. Margaret, thanks for the advice on bullying. I'll certainly try it with her. I'm curious to see how today went after the principal got involved. I had to laugh about the advice to stand up straight and tall. I told her…

Good morning! It's a beautiful sun shining morning and I'm sitting at the breakfast table watching several hummingbirds buzzing around the flowers outside the window. I went to walk with my friend this morning after taking the kids to school, and that went well. My tummy is still a little sore after the bout of…

Joyce, I'm sorry to hear how much stress you are dealing with. I hope Charlie recovers quickly and they get him stabilized. And that he doesn't get meningitis. My son had encephalitis when he was 18 and nearly died. Apparently it's very similar. I'm off to bed so I can get back to my walking schedule tomorrow. Goodnight…

Janet, great motor home! Do the seats in the back have seat belts? Love the dogs on the floor. They look right at home. I have a question for all you nurses out there. When you are in the ER and they hook you up to all those machines, the machines keep beeping alarms and nobody seems to care. My machine kept going off,…

I'm in the ER now, been here for three hours. Apparently it was a flare up of diverticulitis. They are sending me home with a couple of prescriptions. I'm feeling better, though. Now I'm just hungry. More later. Sylvia

Good morning. It's been a rough night. I promised hubby that if I didn't feel better this morning I would go to the hospital. I was up vomiting most of the night and the belly pain is no better, and I have a little bit of fever, so I guess I have to go. I hate the thought of having a tube up my nose to drain my stomach.…

Hello everyone. I think I missed checking in yesterday for some reason and there were about 6 pages I missed. Hugs to Joyce and Charlie. Alison, it's a terrible thing to go through, but hang in there and stick up for yourself. He is a bully, with a capital B. Don't let him talk you into NOT using a lawyer! You have got to…

Good afternoon everyone! Just a quick note before I run off the get the kids from school. I had a much better day today, and even squeezed in a lunch with a liberal ladies group at the library. It was great fun and we laughed a lot. The thing we thought was hilarious was the "rumor" that the state attorney general is on…

I'm too exhausted to write much, and I barely skimmed today's posts. Today was even busier than yesterday. It's 9:00 and we just finished our dinner. I hate to eat late, but had no choice today. Molly's vet visit went well, and he's pretty sure it's nothing to worry about. But I have to tell you one little funny thing.…

The party is over. Whew! It went really well. DGD loved her cake and her presents and seemed really happy overall. On the way here from gymnastics she told me that the best thing about her birthday was getting to spend it with her family. AWWW! The DIL came and brought her iPad, on which she pulled up a FaceTime chat with…

Heather, are you sure you are using the correct charger and cable? I sometimes try to use a different one and it won't charge, then switch back to the right one and it charges. Something about amps or something like that. Each device is a little different. I have one USB plug that is marked...ipad, iphone, android.

Help! I'm drowning in chocolate cake batter! Well, maybe not drowning, but I did eat two teaspoons full. (And feeling a little sick.) I'm baking a cake for DGD 's birthday. They are all coming over tonight after gymnastics, including the alcoholic DIL. Apparently they are together again. We will see just how long that…

Sorry gang, I've been MIA all weekend. Stormy weather, flooding all around. A tree came down at the lake, but luckily missed the cabin by a few inches. Now we have to figure out how to get rid of it. I had several dizzy spells yesterday but felt ok today. Went to a meeting of my clay club this afternoon, then to SAMs club…

Thanks everyone for the great advice and stories of dealing with similar issues. I called my son and asked how it went for her and it said it was wonderful. She had a great time. So, I worried for nothing - and I'm glad it was for nothing. She had one really special best friend last year, Emily, and it turns out that she…

I don't know why, but I can't quit crying this morning. Maybe it is partly due to being tired. But today is my oldest DGD's first day in middle school, and I've been a little worried about her. She is 11, but somewhat immature, and she's very short for her age but a little bit heavy, so I'm always worried that she will…

Becca, after my second colon blockage I was referred to a specialist in Joplin. He wanted to do a colonoscopy at his very own mini-hospital place right down the block. When I went there, they had a sign saying that they were not "in network" for blue cross from Kansas, but that they would honor the payment from blue cross,…

Hello everyone! Just a quick check in for me today. Not much going on. It was raining this morning and now, at 3:00 pm, it is SIXTY EIGHT DEGREES! Hooray! I love cooler weather. Today I haven't done anything constructive, except for enrolling my DGD in the new session of piano lessons and my DGS in the boys gymnastics…

Good afternoon ladies. I'm at the studio waiting for my son to drop off the DGS before he goes to refill his oxygen tanks. The little guy and I have a shopping date, so he can choose his backpack and a few other things he still needs for school. It's nice when it's just the two of us. When he's with the other two it's…

I had the most wonderful day! I picked up the grands and took the little guy home, then the girls and I went to Joplin, under the pretense of going shopping. After we hit the mall- food court for their lunch, nothing for me- and the Justice store, we got back in the car and headed south. I told them I had to run an errand.…

Dr Katie, I love your cabinets! They are like mine. Here are pics from our remodeled kitchen/great room.

Mtowne002, our vet isn't in the office on Saturday, so it will be Monday before I can talk to him. Hubby doesn't think there is anything wrong, but he's clueless sometimes. The vac I got was a Shark Pet Perfect II. 18 volt cordless. $59 at Walmart. It has a rotating brush. I made two passes over the couch and it did pretty…

Grits, I went back and read about your accident. How awful! I'm so glad you didn't lose your arm. We had our house remodeled a couple of years ago. Combined three rooms into one great room. I love it, but it was a huge ordeal. Right in the middle I had my first heart problems. They were installing the cabinets when I came…

Grits! I'm so sorry you had a wreck. I missed that post completely. What page was it on? Hubby starts classes on Monday and today he finds himself getting sick. It never fails that he gets sick on the first day of class. Poor baby. I think it must be psychosomatic. So, we aren't going to the lake this weekend. We drove out…

Good morning! Just got back from walking with my friend, then having breakfast with hubby. I thought I'd chime in before I shower and get on with my day. Yesterday I spent all day trying to make a tri-fold brochure for my potters group and was really, really struggling with it. First, I've never done one before, so…

Long day, too tired. Going to bed. Good night. Sylvia

Good morning! Well, the dogs are back home and happy, so I'm happy too. It's hilarious to watch them when they get home after we go on a trip. Running around like crazy idiots. Molly made a bee line to her wading pool, so she is soaking wet. The other two were racing around like nuts. Then they all came in and collapsed…

We just got home. Boy, am I glad to be here! Hubby and I had a little tiff after we left the hotel this morning. He said he didn't want to rush back. I wanted to go to the mall. He said, no time for that. We saw a farm stand overflowing with goodies, I said I wanted to stop and he conveniently drove past it. And the next…
