Joanne, hope they do something about your knee. I hate to think of having surgery, though. I've had it on both of mine and it wasn't great! Ginger just doesn't make noise at all unless she is really excited and I mean REALLY excited. Sometimes my daughter will get her started by stomping her feet and playing with her and she'll growl at her feet. She actually barked at Ross today when we got home from school. He was down in the floor teasing her with a toy. He about jumped out of his skin it was so unexpected. I'm glad she doesn't bark ... Allie, the last little poodle I had, barked at every noise she heard.

Mima, I'm glad you're feeling better. Fifty miles is a long way to drive one-way to work ... don't over-do and get sick again!

When I get depressed it works just the opposite for me ... I want to eat. There have been a couple of times I was depressed that I just wanted to sleep but most of the time I eat. Don't have time to be depressed right now ... too much to do. Guess that's a good thing.

Hello Everybody. Hope your day is going well.

Mima - glad you are feeling better. I am heading for the Dr. soon. I have a sinus infection and my throat is so sore from the nasal drip. I don't know what he can do, but I can't take any of the meds to dry it up, because of the Atrial Fibrillation. Hope you have fun at work. You must like it to drive that far!

Meme - Hi. How's it going?> Good for your daughter using you as a tool of her trade. I am sure she will do well in her business. I think it would be a guelling job, but I sure am glad that there are people out there who are willing to do it. Meme, it must be 8 or 9 years since we started on here. I wonder if Candice every got moved! I wish she would find her way back here.

Tammy - glad you had a good trip. I am sure you are happy to have your son back home for a few months. I hope something inspires Bob to start to eat. Getting to thin is just as bad as getting to heavy.

Joanne - I wish they would do SOMETHING for your knees. I really enjoyed the Epcot Center and the Kennedy Space Center. Both are worth going to. However, that being said, they almost killed me - all that walking. It was good I could sit for a few thousand miles after that :D

Not much new at this end. I am looking for a new place to live and I guess we might be forced into buying something this time round. I can't find anything I like to rent. I think we have decided to stay put here when we retire anyway. It doesn't really make much difference which way we do it!

Have a good weekend. It is a long weekend here, the kick off to summer! All the campers will be out and the roads will be BUSY!! We are heading to Edmonton, as my son wants his dad to help him do some yard stuff. Catch you next week.

About time you settled down! ;) I don't know how you can move so often. Moving kills me.

Buying groceries kills me, too. Bought way too much today. I only meant to get a few things but wound up getting a lot. I thought I was going to have the kids with me but Ross had a Dr. app. so I dropped the kids off ... their dad was waiting for them at the Dr. office. And ... I guess I was really hungry when I got to the grocery story. :p

Hubby just took Ginger out to pee ... He said he didn't realize she had a rawhide bone in her mouth when she went out the door (it was long and thin) He said she was standing in the yard going pee and it looked like she had a cigar in her mouth. Funny! AND ... TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY ON THE FUNNY FARM! :hyper:

Funny about Ginger.
I drive the 50 miles but stay at a hotel at night until it's time to go home. Then in the morning it's only a few miles. Next week is 4 days so Brad is coming on Tuesday, I really enjoyed working, They gave us 50.5 cents a mile. That's good.
I bet that pillow is gorgeous. have fun at the shower-it's a lot of work but really nice.
Tomorrow is Auntie's party-she will be flabbergasted. Jim left for training. It will be hard on Suzanne. But we are going to FL on the 29th.
A big meal at noon is supposed to be healthier. My Swedish cousin told us that years ago.
The ad is in the paper today for the apt. I pray that we are much smarter this time. We won't pay for anything.
Bye for now. Mima

Good morning. A nice lady answered our ad for the apt. She seems nice-gotta check her references. Hope the rain hods off for the party. Mima

Hey There
 

No rain here.. We really need it.. They got some in Tampa but missed us.. The shower was nice . The bride to be got some nice things..
The next day,sunday, we went to a family picnic.. The only thing there not fatening was the tossed salad I took. I brought what was left home. Todays lunch and a couple more..
My knees are really hurting.. I see the dr. friday..I am living on advil and darvocet. Although I just take the darvocet at night so I can sleep. If the injections don't work I will demand to see a ortho guy.. Life is no fun when you are in constant pain..
I moved into this house 48 years ago and said then I would never move again.. It would be just too hard at my age now..
HELLO TO EVERYBODY. Joanne

Hi-ooh about your knees Joanne.
At work-in thelobby using the computer. Brad is coming out tonight. But I told him I had to watch Idol at 8.
I guess we are going to rent the apt to that lady-she works in town. She will have to sign an agreement that she's the only one that can live there. She wants to plant flowers and put up a screen.house. Go girl-I can'tplant flowers anymore-but I have perennials in the front and that works-10,000 daisies. They put me in reading instead of short answer-oh well. Some big boss is coming today-She's in charge of tampa. I actually could work there but don't want to go to tampa. Bye for now-Mima where's Tammy?

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting for several days. No excuse.

Anne, have you found any place to live yet?

Meme, that's funny about the "cigar" in the dog's mouth! I can picture it!

Mima, I hope it works out for you with this woman in the apartment. Maybe she could come and do flowers for me!!

Joanne, I hope you get some relief from the knee pain very soon! I remember you saying that you had lived in that house for a long time.

Yesterday I discovered the reason for some of Bob's recent problems. When he was at the doctor in March, the doctor wrote a prescription for his meds so we could mail it in. I went ahead and did that, and Bob has been taking double the amounts of some of his meds! He has doubled on blood pressure medicine and Lasix. It is no wonder he has been out of whack! His BP yesterday was 70/40. The only reason I figured it out was he mentioned having to cut 2 different pills in half. I told him that he only had one to cut. I pulled the bottles out, and the pharmacy had given him meds with different generic names than the ones that he had before. He thought he was supposed to take all of them. I used to fill his medicine containers, and he told me he was capable.

Last night I dumped all of the pills and put them back into their original bottles. I then started filling the daily medicine container. I put notes on the newer prescriptions saying not to start them until the others were finished. I made an executive decision, and I told him he isn't going to take the BP medicine till the end of the week. He never had high BP, but they wanted to keep it lower because of some of the problems that he had in September.

Hopefully we'll start seeing more energy and a better appetite now!!!

I am meeting with Melissa for our Emmaus share group at 3:00. Then at 7:00, I have a meeting to choose team members for the November Women's Emmaus Walk. I don't plan to come home between the two since gas is so high. I am taking my Bible (I'll have that for share group anyway) and a book. Thought I might go to the park and read and possibly take a walk while I am there. Tim is working, so I might go to Arby's and bug him for supper.

Have a great day everyone!!

Sounds like a plan. Tammy.
We are renting the apt to that lady. One of her close friends died so she probably won't be signing the agreement for a couple of days.
3 days in a row is sure enought to work. Between my back and stomache, I need to remember that. Now i have to pack again to go to FL next Thurs. That is a good thing.
Watched Idol last night but kept falling asleep. Good show. Resting up-Mima

Well, I see there was a major crash last night, and all current posts were lost. That is too bad, but we will start from here.

I am disconnecting my computer tonight and won't be back until next week. I hope you all have a good week, and I am so tired I can't remember what anybody was talking about :o We will move tomorrow, so have been busy packing.

See you soon.

LOL Anne, I can't remember what I was talking about 5 minutes ago!! Hope your move goes (or went) well!!!!

Hello to all!! It is HOT! Our AC is now fixed. It's a good thing because I planned to go to a hotel. I was having trouble breathing, and that isn't a good thing.

I could have sent Brad down!!!The Handyman team from church is going to fix the problem with the AC in FL-seems the board underneath is rotted and the unit is tipped the wrong way so it doesn't drain. I think our church here needs a handyman team.
Boy-moving!!!Anne, I bet your new place is beautiful. I love brand new.
We will need the air today. 90's.
We have had the heat on everyday.
I think we have a tenant-a bachelor guy that Brad knows-just have to check that he pays his bills.
My friend that had the lung cancer operation does not need chemo or radiation. Praise God.
Someone seemed interested in camper-sure hope they call back.
I am sure Brad will be getting calls in this heat!!
I got some new exercises from PT but I hurt . Going to stick with my old ones for a while.
Bye for now-Mima-hi Meme and Joanne.

Hey There
 

Tammy- HOT... We were near 100 yesterday.. Just baking outside.. Niece having picnic today. I am not going.. Had a whole day of pain with my stomach and knee yesterday.. Outside of going to grocery and w/m I am staying put..I hate to see our bill for ac this month..
Mima-Sounds like it is just as hot there as here. Ofcourse the tornados are bad up close to you.. Hot and cold don't mix.We may have a storm season yet..
Happy.. moving again. Is this to be the last time? I couldn't do it.. One good way to clear out all the unwanted things ,I guess.Good luck.
Hello Meme..Joanne

There are no tornadoes near us in Massachusetts. Are there some near Ft Myers???? Hope the house doesn't get tpp bad before next Sat.
Well, the camper person didn't call yesterday. I was sure he wanted it . There are so many around for sale!
It's going to be 91 here-the church people will be happy because Brad put air in and is going to put some more/
Tenant coming today. He really wants this-his sister says he doesn't always plan his money well so we are going to suggest he pays his rent weekly.
My hips hurt because I have been exercising them-it's hard to balnce exercise with fibro and osteoarthritis. But my back sure is better,
Hi Tammy-Meme-Anne. Mima

Hi everyone, hope you are all staying cool.

I heard back from Candice. She is well and said to tell you all hello and she hasn't forgotten us. They haven't moved yet and are still working on their new house, said nothing had gone as she planned. She said she spent 11 days and nights cleaning up after 'messy men'. She finally got a new laptop computer but doesn't have any of her stuff loaded on it yet so she said to tell you that she'd try to get back on the message board as soon as she could.

It has been hot here, also. Mid 90s. Air Cond. on our rent trailer went out on Fri. I called Jackson Heating & Cooling ... we go to church with the owners plus they are good friends and he is hubby's cousin so I was hoping they would get someone out fast. Trailers are hot anyway but when it is 95 outside they are up way over 100 inside. They sent someone within a few hours and it was the capacitator. I told him they just replaced that last year so he took the old one with him and said it should still be under warranty. I'm hoping it is and I don't have another huge bill like I did last year.

I've had a very stressful week. Had kids all week plus a stressful situation is going on here. Can't really talk about it but it's wearing me down. I haven't been sleeping much. Going to go to bed and see if I can sleep. Going to be another hot week. Hope you all have a good one. Sooooo glad I'm not moving. Don't think I have the strength.
