Hi all! I've had some sort of stomach bug (complete with fever) since Monday. Prayers for those who are having health issues. Pip - I didn't catch the whole story, but hope Kirby heals well. Sylvia - Go to bed!! Congrats on losses! Carol in NC

My last pic from the beach... This was my "good-bye" ocean walk this morning. I hated to leave! Especially when it was 84 degrees there and 60 degrees and raining here. It's only 8:30 pm but I am ready to go to bed! Between the darkness from the time change and the steady rain, I'm feeling might dozy. Good night, all!…

Two of my favorite sunset pictures from tonight. Missed getting a shot of a whole flock of Pelicans but was still awesome to see. I've seen Dolphins every day, too! (I don't know why autocorrect insists in capitalizing the names.) Heather - I've never taken a photography class, although I'd love to. I didn't even bring a…

I like my long skinny shadow!

DJ - I am indeed by myself. My favorite way to visit here!!! Betty - Come on down. There are three more bedrooms that I'm not using. The water felt so good last night that I just wanted to lie down in it! The water is still warm here. Carol in NC

Good morning! For those who asked about/commented on my picture...I am at Emerald Isle, NC. I'm lucky enough to have friends who own a house here. It is not ocean front but is a VERY short walk to the beach. The sound of the surf is very clear. When I'm not walking in the beach, I spend a lot of my time on their screened…

Beautiful evening! I was so tired when I got here and the water felt so good on my feet! Tomorrow morning will find me taking a long walk down the beach! Carol in NC

Hi, all! I've skimmed through the 126 posts so I'm sort of caught up. Margaret - So sorry about your husband's health news! Hugs and prayers! Kim - Your post could have been mine. I don't seem to fit anywhere. I finally decided that I was born a hexagon in a world of square holes. I truly do empathize. If you find the…

Happy birthday, DrKatieBug!!!

Good afternoon! I've been keeping up with the reading, but haven't really posted during the past week. Mary - I hope all of the news you receive is good! Update on the accident saga: The woman who hit my son doesn't have insurance so my uninsured motorists clause has gone into effect. I picked up a rental car today and the…

Good night!

DJ - Unfortunately, there was no collision insurance on the truck. His dad said he would pay the insurance but refused to add collision. It was so soon after my surgery that I didn't have the funds.

DJ - I'm not Sylvia, but I'll take a shot at explaining what "grooming" is as far as sexual abuse. (I teach this stuff.) Adults will do things such as touching children to see if the child objects or tells. The touching is not necessarily sexual but may be borderline inappropriate. Example: A kiss on top of the head leads…

Linda/IA - Unfortunately, the 21-year-old died at the scene. She was from our area (lived less than five miles from us) although we didn't know her. I don't know if I said this, so please forgive me for the repeat, but I found out yesterday that the young woman who hit my son had no insurance. The officer is investigating…

I finally had a meltdown today. I found out that the wreck he was slowing down for was a 21-year-old on her way back to school who wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from her vehicle. It made everything all that much more "real" I guess. Sylvia - I am so glad you got to help your DGD. Poor baby! Heather - I hope…

Photos of the boy child and his truck. Girl was driving a Toyota Corolla at approximately 70-75 mph when she ran into him.
-
Thanks, again! I talked to the boy child tonight and he is in complete agreement with seeing his old pediatrician tomorrow to check for glass and to be sure the pain in his mid back is just muscle soreness and not spinal. Grits - It was a two car accident. He had slowed because of an accident on the highway (along with…
-
Thanks, everyone! He is still picking glass out of his body. I'm wondering if he should go to the doctor to be carefully examined for embedded glass. The truck is a total loss. It was hit so hard that the bed of the truck buckled--it instantly became a short bed pickup! The side windows are missing altogether and the…

Boy child in accident on the way back to school tonight. Truck is probably totaled but he just has lots of cuts and abrasions plus being really sore. 2:30 am and just got him into bed. Nothing like seeing your child's vehicle upside down over the guardrail. I'm so thankful that he is okay!!

I'm stil here. Mostly reading without posting. Good night! Carol in NC
-
Just kind of quick pop in. I'm tired and ready to go to bed. Probably would have been there already but I was waiting for the soccer field lights to off (they shine into my bedroom, especially when the windows are open). I found another job to apply for. It is with the school system in the county where I now live. It's…

Katla - I am so sorry for your daughter's loss and for your sadness and feelings of helplessness to help her.
-
Good afternoon! I'm going to sneak in a post since everything is quiet here right now. I made a bad boo-boo today! I have on my Fitbit bracelet but the Fitbit itself is at home in the charger. Arrgh! I even walked to the corner store from job #1 this morning--I'm by myself for a few days and it is so wonderful to see the…

Good night, everyone!

Hi everyone! DJ - I've been worried about you! I have a friend in Lugoff, SC and they are cut off because all of the roads leading in or out of town are flooded or washed away. There's been a huge cell of rain over them since last night. Downtown Columbia is flooded, too. I had a migraine Friday and part of yesterday. I…

Good night, everyone! Insomnia has been my companion for the past two nights so I am hoping to sleep well tonight. Carol in NC
-
Good afternoon! Thanks to everyone for their supportive thoughts. I keep telling myself, "This, too, shall pass." Mia and Lisa - I did make a call yesterday but got their answering machine. I will try again today if I can find a minute by myself. Miriam - My son has Celiac and his favorite pizza crust is a mix by Chebe. It…

Good afternoon! I have been thinking about Janetr this morning and hope the surgery was successful and that she is resting comfortably by now. Pip - I hope you continue to heal nicely. Does walking "bounce" your shoulder and make it hurt? I wish my doctor had taken an after x-ray of my shoulder so I could see exactly where…
