Took a meal to a member of our sunday school class that has been sick. We sat and talked for a while. Also took laura to Belks for a strapless bra, she is escorting her ex- boyfriend to Mr. Aiken High tonight. She has dance all weekend with a tap instructor that they paid to come in and teach. My husbands 50th birthday is on the 21st, he wants a gun cabinet for his birthday. He has every friday off and he wants to go out shooting with me. Isn't that romantic!
~ Marilyn~ If I may ask ? What kind of cancer do you have? I'm sorry your not feeling well. How can I pray for you?
Your son sounds like he is really liking his assignments. As you can tell I was never very good at writing or using the computer.The more you do it the better you are at it. I have dislexia ( learnig disablity ) School was never very fun for me. They told me I could never go to college, because my SAT scores were so low. I graduated from University of Pennsylavania. It took a little longer ,but I was determined to graduate. I worked during the day and went to school at night. If they had homeschooling when I was in school ,I would not have so many scares. I was gifted in the visual arts. I felt stupid, because I could not learn in the manner they were teaching. Keep him excited about learning. Lots of love judy
got to go
And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Colossians 3:23

Boy... I sure did! I spent the day yesterday keeping very, very busy so I didn't dwell on my ankle & emotions & it did help! I got the carpets all scrubbed & cleaned and what a mess I made... I had never used that machine before and it took me quite some time just to figure it all out. But then the dial for the shampoo part was suppose to be on rinse, so it would flow when not in use - guess what I forgot to do. Luckily - it was on my kitchen floor and not on the carpet, so that could have been worse. But now I am ready for our new furniture to come in And once I get it all set up and put together (the look) I will get some pics for you. (now... ... you didn't think I would let you all off that easy did ya )
Hi MICHELE ~ You leave tomorrow for your restful weekend ~ I send you wishes that you have a Peaceful, Restful & absolutely Enjoyable time with everyone! I hope the leaves are still on the trees enough for you to enjoy your walk!!!!! We had quite a windstorm come through here.

GARY ~ So happy to hear that Ron had a better day! And that all turned out well with your cleaning. How did dinner come out? It sure sounded yummy! Joe has been home very late every night this week, so I haven't cooked much at all - both good and bad. One: I enjoy cooking, but there's just us, so why bother when he is home so late. He grabs dinner out and I grab what we have in the freezer - like a Lean Cuisine. He's going to be late again tonight and then when he gets home he'll be rushing out the door to meet a couple @ 8:00pm to pick out their Wedding music. So it will be real nice this Saturday to have him home... I really miss his company when he has a schedule like this.
JUDY ~ Your recipe looks great!! I'm gonna give it a try myself for our Thanksgiving Dinner - yum!
Judy... is it you that has the breathing machine??? How are you feeling these days? My sister is going for another sleep study done to see how she is doing with hers.
And what a kind thing to do - to bring a meal. I bet it was very appreciated!
SPROUT ~ Good news! That the Dr's didn't see cancer cells Yeah!!! I hope you heal up real soon from the radiation treatments... I have heard those treatments are very, very hard on the body.
I wish you well on getting back "on track" with your weight. I am trying too, it's been very hard with this ankle they way it is - I was up till 2:30am because of the discomfort & pain (probably because I worked cleaning carpets all day). But it's a bit better today. I haven't read much of Dr Phil's book lately either... fell behind, but have still been reading up at the Book Club Thread. It is interesting to see how much others feel what you thought you were all alone in. I wish you well! You can do it!!! Hope you slept well...
Take Care everyone!
I Have another busy day today... already got my bill's paid (yuk!) and I will be meeting my friend for lunch then grocery shopping. Lunch is fun, but grocery shopping is never fun --- but it helps to go with a friend.
Hi SAMI-Where are your pics , ANGEL- Sure do hope all is going well with your home. And your health!!!, WILMA-I'm going to Curves tomorrow, I missed Wednesday, SHERRY-Miss you!, SUE-Where are you???, JAMIE, AMANDA-How's it going??? Haven't heard from you since your news & CHRISTIE.
Sunny-Sorry to hear ankle is no better, and still having alot of pain. Hope your soon up and about, will pray for healing- great job on rugs, always exciting changing a room over, new furniture.
E.Z. - pray nephew continues to do well, sounds like he is a normal american boy, into mischief occassionally, but with you as a guide he can't fail. I have an awesome bil who lets me store my camper next to his at his house- he goes out in the winter and cleans the snow off, and periodically starts it, he is a sweety. He helped me winterize it, and does alot of the mechanical needs.
Judy- your salad sounds yummy- I agree with getting out and feeling closer to God, especially in fall, its like he painted the trees they are so pretty. Cool- a sister that works for NASA. Mine is a nurse for the county- She runs their wic program for kids. congrats on proving them wrong about college, it is not speed its finishing that counts.
Mitchy- enjoy your weekend, sounds like your feeling a little better- I agree nothing as fresh as clean sheets, beautiful cabin, or should I say House.
Sprout- Sorry to hear about all the side effects from the chemo- pray that they lessens and the pain subsides quicker than a year. It is a tough row to hoe, will keep you in prayer for healing. Glad to hear there were no cancer cells! That is great news! Great job on the walking!
I went to prayer meeting last night and there was no power it was out, so we met by gas lamps it was actually cool, like the old days I guess.
Well gotta run, off to bowling check in later,
I did a long post and it was lost!!!!!!! I don't have time to redo but just want to say hi will post more friday. This has been a tough week!!!!!
Sunnyd-I do have a picture disk how do I send you some picture from that so you can post or how do I post?

Sami...
SAMI ~ I will send you my e-mail through a Private Message, okay (don't want it out there just for anyone ). Then send me the pictures and I will be glad to post them for you.
Sorry you lost your post - that has happened to me too, but only once. Now... ... before I send my post I highlight the post and copy... just in case. Then when it happens all you have to do is go to reply again and paste - voila! No longer lost. Good to hear from you. Sorry it's been a tough week for you.
Been busy the last couple of days watching the ballgames, wanted the Cubs, no big deal for me though, like the way the Marlins play-- will be rooting for them over either the Yanks or the Sox in the World Series. For those that saw-- wasn't-isn't that a bummer for that young man in Chicago and the foul ball deal. No way did he cause the Marlins to score 8 runs!! Prayers are needed for him!! Just a damn shame people are so blind sometimes to what is REALLY happening around them.
SUNNYD- Are you all set for the new furniture? Should look really nice on that clean carpet! How is that ankle today? Still no Curves? Thanks for the pictures of Iraq, they came up in my mail too. I know what you mean by cooking for 1 or 2, if Angie and my kids, or Ron aren't here and I have to just take care of myself, I usually fast food it for the convience-- not good. Our freezers (1 fridge in the house, 1 in garage) are always full of bread or something else, makes it hard to have too many leftovers-- and although I "could" eat a full lasagna by myself-- I probably shouldn't! And how in the heck do you make a lasagna for 1 anyway. Therefore another excuse for crappy fast food! Made goulash last night, easy the way I make it-- hamburger, elbow pasta, couple of cans of diced tomatoes, a little tomatoe sauce and water-- done!
JUDY DD escorting the ex huh? Good for her to stick with her promise to take him, are they getting along OK? My 50th is in Feb.-- don't have guns so my wife is safe on that "date"! Thanks for the recipe-- I am going to try it soon. Nice that your sister is coming for Thanksgiving and that you will have some family near for the day.
MARILYN- Glad to hear the results were encouraging, although not exactly what you wanted to hear. God does work all things together for good- give it prayer and time, you will be OK, DH too. Don't worry about airing your worries here! That is the purpose of this thread!
MICHELE- So glad you are feeling better! Just in time for the long week-end! Great job on the bed makeover-- Angie has flannel sheets for when it gets cold here-- althoguh most of the time she is hot and I am cold-- I just use an extra blanket when I need to stay warm, usually she is kicking hers off. Have a fun trip!
SAMI- Another lost post?!! My goodness you keep doing this a lot-- I remember when it used to happen to me, now it doesn't, don't know why. I used to just post half-way through my responses then it would disappear less!
SUE- Gas lamps, is that common to have in N.Y.? sounds dangerous to me. Glad the prayer meeting was cool after all. How was the bowling today? Car trouble over with? Any new leads on that job from heaven
Well off to get a haircut (while I still have some )
Just popping in to update you - I've got two sets of application forms to fill in for the jobs in Ireland, then I'll just have to wait and see if I get an interview - so I'll let you know, but the Irish are notoriously 'laid back' so it might take some time!.I've been suffering a bit of a crisis of confidence about it all - mainly because I want it so much. It is a habit of mine to 'self sabotage' good things because I think I don't deserve them (that's what the therapists say anyway!) - so I'm really trusting God on this. I'll just get the forms filled out the best that I can, then leave it in God's hands. Nigel isn't looking for work until we get out there - he's still suffering from stress and depression and isn't up to getting a job yet.If I get a job I'll be paid enough to support us both while he looks for work -as Galway is quite a cheap place to live. Thank you all for your prayers - it really is comforting to know that I have friends across the pond praying for me.
SUNNY D - Please don't think that you are a 'thread ' - you are great and can always be relied upon to be here to cheer us all up!. I also haven't got as much time as I used to - and Nigel is on the computer morning, noon and night so I have trouble getting on it!. You stay just as you are - we love you for being you! Sorry you've hurt your foot and have been feeling a bit blue - rest up and spoil yourself as you deserve it!
SPROUT - Good news about your cancer (sort of!) - but I am sorry that you are still suffering. I pray that you will continue to recover speedily.
Amanda- Pray ya get the job you would like as well as stress relieve for Nigel.
E.Z. - The job is still up in the air- I heard through the grapevine that the big boss wants someone with a degree- I have an associate in applied science, but the person the 1st line supervisor wants has more service time than me, and by rights should get it, but no degree, just have to keep waiting to see. Thanks for asking- The car goes back in for a new strut next week, hopefully that will end it for awhile. They were actually oil lamps so unless they are smashed they are pretty safe. Their power is still out, alot of trees down because of heavy wind around here.
Hi sami,been there done that with long posts, now I just keep them short and post a couple of times in a row, that usually works. sunny- those pictures of Iraq and the soldiers were great
Here is a cute story I got on e-mail- Awoman was asked by her co-worker, What it means to be a Christian? The woman replied, "It is like being a pumpkin!" God picks you out, even with your imperfections, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, ect. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts
His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.
Happy Fall!
