Just trying to catch up,but has been quite a while since I last posted. Hardly know where to start. No way I can/will be reading long ago posts. Due to medical stuff,weight isn’t the problem it was.Gained 10 pds from Feb (after surgery) & this wk. Another 40 pds still gone. Have been trying on new clothes,never worn…

Getting first blood work today. Hopefully it will show what med I need. Having side effects from the thyroid surgery. All done by computer these days. Prefer seeing the Dr to explain what is going on,but have no choice. I’m such a wimp about needles & dread having it done,but another no choice. Excuse my whine! Pat C OHIO

“ BARBARA, Pat C thanks for asking Allie about Discovery +, I’ve been considering it too, but alas would want to watch it on a regular, not internet-connected TV” Thanks to Allie for her straight answer about Discovery TV.Have talked to DH about it & we are on the same page as Barbara,in that we’d only be interested if the…

ALLIE,”I broke down and ordered discovery + ,im trying to be frugal .but with being in the house alot ,there is a ton of content..so with tax 5.31 a month isnt horrible..you can get it without adds but thats 2 bucks more.”“ ALLIE, Can I pick your brain about getting the DISCOVERY NETWORK?

I’m trying to pick some tips for when I can’t sleep.Went to bed at 9 pm,the longer I was in bed,the more awake I became. Now Tv is on & a book to read. None of which interests me. Oh,yes.......made my grocery list. Of course,I’d trade it all for a good nights sleep! Oh,well.....it will happen or it won’t.I appreciate…

Someone asked.....We live in mid Ohio. My orchids were grown inside & given to a friend when I was no longer interested in them. Pat C Ohio

Been busy the last couple days with haircut,pedicure,nice visit with DD. Yesterday was more to do & a short grocery trip.

Youngest Great grandson,just turned 2 yrs old

Hello all.I posted a couple pictures,but guess I missed a step as they never showed up.Boo me! Would be nice if there were directions on line to copy & save.

Ginny in Ohio thanks for the kind offer. I know nothing about thyroid surgery,just came out of the blue.Dr’s appt is tomorrow. More of my confusion! DH Is upset that I am not eating,just no appetite at all. Need to ask Dr’s opininion on that,sore spots ( from being tossed around during surgery is my guess,& unable to…

Good afternoon,all. Has been too long since I wrote,but we have had sickness & finding surgery can be a long bridge to get back to normal.Allie,thinking of you.

KJThank you. DD had shown the spaceship to several teachers she works with......so advised them to start saving! Sorry it was torn up,after all that work. Pat in Oh

Just had to comment on Kelly’s beautiful grand children. So precious. DDloved seeing the spaceship picture. She asked how many egg cartons it required. I had no clue. Our state is back in the red for virus ranking. So many ppl just gonna do what they want to do,regardless of What Dr etc say. I read at times,but no way I…

Happy June to all. The flower you asked about is a Clematis vine. Here is another one,diff color like we had for many years at our old house.What a show stopper it was,as it tried to go over the roof. BETH IN BUFFALO,nice to see you too. It ‘s been too long. Hope all goes well with your son’s drive to Nashville. Plan today…
