These are not required topics ...just ideas to share. We have found them very helpful. We also share heartaches and fears...joys and celebrations.
Morning, ladies! Nothing much to write this morning that I didn't write late last night. Just thought I would come in and see what was going on and saw we needed a new thread. Three days to complete 30 posts must be our record for the slowest thread in history. Sheeesh. Let's see if we can pick up the pace a bit.
We have no real exciting plans for the day. Honey and I are going to take down the Christmas lights....finally. We've been buried in snow up until a couple of days ago. Not that we got snow so often, but when we did it got so cold that it wouldn't go away. Now we can finally set a ladder up in the flower bed to get them off the eaves.
We're also thinking about getting some digital pictures taken so I can jump into selling some stuff on eBay. I've been researching the different things that I have to see what IS selling and what ISN'T. Some are quite surprising.
Anyway, I'll check in a bit later and see how you all are doing. If you guys haven't seen the movie Rules of Engagement, it is a very good drama and it's on network TV tonight, if you care.
Let's see if I can sneak in here before Miss Thin...she's probably composing one of her famous mega posts...I have time!
Happy Sunday, all! It's a bee-yoo-ti-ful day here! Supposed to get up into the 50s! Son and I are taking a ride down to see Mom and Dad today. He's doing very well, by the way. He started radiation treatments last week. He's eating regular food now. (was on pureed food for a long time, ugh) My sister pointed out to me that it's been 2 months to the day, since his surgery. Seems like a lifetime. If I haven't said it lately, thank you all again for your prayers. I know they helped!
Okay, I'm out of here...I know there were a few responses I wanted to make, but I have to get ready for church...
Kat, I don't post here usually, but I am notorious for lurking. Kinda of an ugly word.
Anyway, I read your post and just wanted to say I am glad your dad is doing better.
I'm glad your family is close enough to visit. My folks are both gone and my sisters live far away.
Anyway, I'm enjoying the beautiful weather you speak of. From NY(westchester co.)
Used to spend alot of time at the Jersey shore when my kids were small. It's been too long.
Mary: So glad you're feeling better. What are you up to today??
Katrina: You've gotta get up pretty early to beat this "old" girl. You know us AARP candidates, we're quick, very quick!! I'm so glad your dad is doing well. He's been through alot and has alot more to go, but it's good to know that he is progressing well. More prayers coming your way.
Barb: BTW, how is YOUR dad doing? I hope he's doing as well at Kat's and seeing some real progress.
DonnD: I'm glad you came out of hiding. Welcome! We'd love to have you join us on a permanent basis. We love having new people stop in.
Anyway, I'm off to try and do the things I told you I was going to do in my last post! Yes, you're right. I haven't done any of them. BUT.... I have done a load of laundry and made breakfast for the masses. Does that count???
Just popping in for a few minutes. I brought work home with me for the weekend, and I haven't touched it yet. Thought I'd better dig in before it is time to head off to church. I'm always happier once I get a project started. Of course, reading in here and leaving a little post is much, much more fun that doing my work...
DonnaD, how sweet and thoughtful of you to leave a post for Kat. Feel free to drop in any time!
Kat, so glad to hear your dad is doing well!
Thin, I'm thinking no one would look at you funny if those Christmas lights stayed up until all potential threat of frost or even a stiff breeze were past. I have become such a cold wimp since living here, I know I wouldn't! I like the idea of keeping each other motivated at Curves. I managed to get there my three days last week, even if they were three in a row.
I should be leaving more replies, but there was a phone call from a friend in the middle of this, and I'm out of time now! Have great days!
Hi Girlies!
It's such a beautiful day here! Perfect day for walking the dogs! All is well here - finished making the curtain/valance for the master bath. Wanted to hang shelves I got, but they don't fit where I thought they would. Organized my computer area and just finished watching Uptown Girls - cute movie.
Not sure what the rest of the day holds for me.
Kat - I'm so happy to hear that your dad is recovering well. Have a nice visit with your parents.
Thin - Thanks for asking about my dad. He is recovering fairly well. All the meds are having a bad effect on his digestive system, so he is on even more meds and having a colonoscopy (sp?) next week. He's resting a lot and seems a little depressed. Give that this was surgery #25 for him I figure it's taking it's toll on him. So, health wise he's doing ok, emotionally I think he's having a difficult time. I wish I was closer so that I could see hime more often.
Mary - Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Donna - Hi, nice to see you coming out of lurking mode.
Good Sunday everyone. I have sure missed all of you.
My sister has been here the entire weekend and she just left and I had to come here immediately !!!!
We had a nice visit. Friday we just sat and visited and watched Super Millionaire. We got up early Saturday and drove to Okla City to visit my daughter and visit the National Monument from the Federal Building Bombing.
This afternoon we went to the movies and saw "Twisted". It was a good "who done it" movie. I really like Ashley Judd in those roles.
My sister will be back Tuesday night. She is flying to Houston to see her cancer doctor there. She is scheduled for a lot of tests. The doctor in her home town wants to do surgery and remove her splein. She is getting a second opinion. Then she will be here again next weekend.
Is everyone sitting down ??? If not... sit down. You won't believe what happened to my hubby yesterday.....
He went to the casino in his usual way.... but the usual did not happen.
He first won $1,800.
Then he won $10,000.
I am not done...... they came and took his drivers license and social secruity card and such to fill out the income tax paper work... and he won ANOTHER $10,000 on the same machine!!!!!
He won all of it on one machine... and within 10-15 minutes.
To top that ... he won $2,200 on several seperate machines. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT ????
When I got home from OKC he showed me the three checks he recieved and I counted the 22 hundred dollar bills.
I can't believe it !!!!! But I saw it for myself.
I know I should reply to everyones posts.. but I am just too excited to even think that much. LOL I do want to welcome DonnaD to our little group. We love newcomers... please post often.
and I want to apologize to Kat and Barb for not asking about your dad's sooner. You guys were so supportive of me and my parents and I just totally forgot yours. I am glad they are doing well.
I will try to reply to rest later. Right now... I think I am goiing to to go think about how to convience my hubby to want what I want.
Thanks for the welcome everyone. I am just getting to know everyone by reading posts and sometimes I forget where I've posted. I'm still learning my way around.
I will surely return here. It seems like a warm, welcoming & helpful sites. Though I have encountered so many nice people here at 3fc. Look forward to again.
DonnaD

Hi Gals!
Just a super quick stop in to say Goodnight and sweet dreams to all! I am watching the Oscars and getting ready to jump into bed!
Love to all! Barb
Andria: I'll hold up my end of Curves and you hold up you're end. And when neither of us feel like going, just remember the other is urging us on. WE CAN DO IT!!! I'm counting on it.
2cute: OMG, that is whole lotta money!!! CONGRATS!!! My mom went to the casino today in Windsor and when she got home she called to let me know she was back. I asked her if she had a good time and she said "oh yes". Well I can tell by the tone of her voice that meant she won, so I asked her if she did as well as your hubby. Well she didn't do quite THAT well! And being a slot player, her first question was "did he win on the dollar slots? What? You didn't ask? Well find out." So, did he win on the dollar slots? My mother's inquiring mind wants to know.
DonnaD: We're glad to have you join us. We've all been new before so we certainly understand you trying to navigate around here. There is a Bio Thread if you care to post yours, or read all of ours. We'll look forward to you checking in.
Barb: I want to see Twisted. I'm with you, I like Ashley Judd. * Sorry to hear about your dad's depression. But you're right, 25 surgeries is alot for anyone to have to endure and recover from. And here's a BIG [[[[HUG]]]] because I know what you mean about wishing you were closer. My folks were in Florida when my dad started going hokey (Alzheimer's, remember)? Oh crap, can you say remember and Alzheimers in the same sentence? Oops. Anyway, I know how hard it is being so far away and feeling like you just can't help. Being an only child there was no one that I could trade off the traveling with either. Hope the colonoscopy goes well and that he will get some help for the depression.
Pat: Glad you could check in. Computer troubles are the pitts. But it sounds like your biggest trouble would be your knee. My but that must be painful. I hope it is healing well for you.
Mary: I'm glad you and hubby were able to get out. The migraine must be gone. Don't work too hard tomorrow.
Well girls, I have a big day ahead of me, WI (not Wisconsin), and 7 jobs. My SIL is back in the hospital. This time it's a blood clot in her right leg. She'll be in for at least a week. I want to get some flowers up to her. Also, I pulled out one of my crowns tonight so a phone call early in the morning to the dentist is in order. I also need to make the appointment for getting our taxes done. So I definitely have a full day.
