Hello Everyone....

I recieved this from Dana today and she wanted me to post it to everyone to read.. She is having alot of probs with her server and she is in the process of changing servers and she cant get on her...I hope that she can get it fixed so she can post soon.. I am sure its so flustrating for her.. I know how it feels not to be able to post...or do anything...
I know that Rosey is gone and Kris is busy with finals..but where oh where is everyone else ??????????????? I am missing you all


Hi Summer. I"m emailing you from my bellsouth email cause I can't get online for more than 30 seconds at a time to use my hotmail. I'm having awlful server problems and I may change my IP later on today to someone else. You can email me back on this one today if you'd like and I will get it at least today. (any of the 3fc gals are welcome to email as well).

I just wanted to let you know why I couldn't get on 3fc to post. By the time the pages would load, my internet would hang up. We got home at 3:45 a.m. early sunday morning. We have a very nice time and only had one t-storm on thursday. It was very severe and heavy and even flooded the campground in places and over flowed a lake. It was terrible for the fish and ducks in that lake. We had 3 ducks who stayed around our camper a lot especially at night. It was neat. I'm not sure if I got pictures of them or not but I do have about 100 digitals I took and when I can get online long enough I can upload them to a album to share. I'll let you know when that happens. I'm going to upload them anyway when I can to get prints of them. Other than that thursday storm, it didn't rain on us at all the rest of the time.

I came home to loads of laundry of course as well as having to see after my grandparents garden. We have corn, beans, tomatoes and okra to my ears. Not really but in bags all in my kitchen and I need to cut the corn off to cream it and break the beans. Kevin is working today in place of someone else on vacation so he will be getting in some much needed overtime but I miss the help here. He had to work 12 hours yesterday as well. I have prescriptions waiting to be picked up as well as one needing to be filled and some post office stuff to mail but can't get away today.

My grandfather had his 21 radiation treatment today and is halfway home with his 42 total. He wanted to quit but I think I encouraged him to hang in there. It's working and he needs this to get rid of the cancer. He has diabetes (type 2) which is making it more difficult. He has sugar in his kidneys and a bad infection that they can't get rid of. He was put on his 5th antibiotic yesterday.

I hope everyone got their cards from beach. I got them all alike and mailed them on friday. My grandmother got hers after we got home but most everyone probably did. Everytime we got near the post office in the campground, I would forget to take the cards with me.

I never got to make any of those beach bags out of the caprisun pouches to sell but did make 3 for us to use and they would have been a hit. They got the most attention and were the only ones I saw there. I figured they would be everywhere but they were so neat to take to the pool and ocean and to even carry your clothes to the bath houses for showers.

Well please share this email with everyone or post it on the site if you can and I hope everyone is doing ok and I miss you all very much. I will post just as soon as I can get online long enough. I'm typing this offline to send to my outbox cause it usually will stay online about 30 seconds just long enough to send it.

Love ya,
Dana

I am here! I just keep forgetting to post. Summer how did the dinner go with Buddy? Did I miss how it went some where? It is sunny as he** here again today. We have been in the upper 80s and 90s all week. It is amazing how it drains your energy level at that temp. Remember I am in the NW where 80* is a heat wave! I am still having to stick at home with my trash talking daughter. I am getting cabin fever at this point though.
I hope that you sun shine will stay out and play for a bit Summer. I wanna see a tan hot mama come fall. Have fun at class today well I mean tonight. Snacks??? Crunch??? Popcorn, celery, popcorn cakes... Yippie! That is a good one. They come in flavors even have chocolate if you can find them. Jello, pudding, make a soda cake. All you do is add one can of diet soda to a cake mix, stir it up and pour into a 8 x 8 pan. I made a rootbeer cake the other day and it was hecka yummy.
Donna i am waiting to see all those great pictures thatyou took. What is Elena up to now? Have you lost those few pounds of vacation food yet? I know that you will cause I will kick that butt if you don't! I am joking ya know I love having ya flufflier. Makes me feel less fluffy! I am just rotten today ain't I?
Dana hope u get back online soon, Rosey fly safe and we miss you, Glenn get that bootie back to posting, Kris hope that finals fly bye with ease for you.
Daphne

Good morning!

Daphne, you crack me up!! I am losing it slowly but surely. But not fast enough. So, you can still have a very fluffy Donna friend! I like you I forget to post. And even now, have to already stop because my child requires assistance. She is driving me crazy.

I hope you all are doing well. Kris, I did enjoy your pictures. Forgot to mention it. Dana, I did receive your post card yesterday. Thanks!

I'll talk to you all later when I can.

Hello....I have been so very busy today.. It seems there is never enough time for me to do what I need too.. went to class tonight.. it was great.
There were only 4 of us and we had the whole pool..I was really good...
I hope to go to the pool tomorrow with some friends if the weather permits..
We have been under thunderstorm watches today and this evening yesterday it rained in the afternoon..we didnt get any rain this evening..but at times it sure look like we were gonna get it.. Who knows about this crazy weather??? I have some things to finish up before I go to bed..so I have to make this a short post.. Sorry.. My "Little YAYA Chickies"

Donna... I had to laugh at what Daphne said..We all are Fluffies.
I am glad that you are back and please dont forget to post when you can. It gets lonely in here.......How has your weather been????
It's Hot Hot Hot Here.....My Little YAYA Chickie...



Dana.....I hope that if you can read this you got your phone lines fixed..
I know that you emailed all of us to let us know you are still having probs so you cant get in here.. I sure hope you can get back on line soon..
I miss you My Little YAYA Chickie


Daphne.. I am working on my tan.....I hope that I wil still have it when we go to MB.. I get my pictures this weekend at Costco.. I can wait to see them.. I ordered a cd of the pictures so I can put them on here.
We didnt go to dinner with Buddy..He called and canceled..he was just too tired and I understand.. Today he got the results of the cat scan..All that Chemo didnt help.... That was not good news.. so they are looking into some new meds for him.. For now they will try to build him back up with blood tranfusions and Procreit.... Poor man..
Thank-you for asking about him.. Thats always so thoughtful and sweet of you Daphne..I will tell him you asked about him and that really makes him happy..he still cant get over all the people that care..I told him that everyone in here is a caring loving person..That we all are praying for him.
You sound like its Hot Hot Hot there too.. Yes the heat can drain all the energy we have.. Thats how I feel after a day in the sun. I hope that you get some good weather real soon..Now how did I know you were gonna say popcorn cakes....what can I say.. I had to laugh cause thats the stuff I dont want.. I want the good stuff.. Give me chips......oh well I can dream..That cake sounds good.. Do you use any cake mix..White..Choc..etc?????? and any soft drink???
I dont bake much as you can tell..
I hope that you can get out soon and get rid of that cabin fever.. A good trip to Walmart is in order Girlfriend..Have some fun..and stay cool.......
My Little YAYA Chickie

I am so saddened about Buddy, Summer. It just doesn't sound good to me. Not that I'm giving up hope but it just sounds all too familiar. I am glad your classes are going so well. With my sister's pool finally opened we are finally enjoying the life with a pool. Elena and I were there most of the day today. It was so nice to have Elena get exercise while I read. So relaxing. It was hot today but you could get in the pool to cool off. I can see how you love the pool life so much. I am reminded how it was when I was younger and I would ride my bike to the neighborhood pool and stay there till I had to come home. I would buy snacks out of the snack machines for my lunch of course I was much thinner then. LOL

Sorry my earlier entry was so short. Elena was so demanding at that point that I couldn't concentrate on what I wanted to say. Guys, I spoke to Dee on yahoo messenger today and she is so busy with her job. She is hoping soon she'll be able to post. I was glad I could talk to her some.

I wonder how Rosey is doing. I bet she is having fun with her mother and family right now.

Dana, I hope soon you will be back online. We are thinking of dropping our cable after some recent trouble with them and I think we may go with satelitte tv and dsl for the internet. I thank you for the post card you sent from MB. I hope to be there soon.

Daphne, how are things for you. You crack me up. LOL I thought for sure you would post more today.

Ken,,,,, where the heck are you? What' up?

Kris, I hope all your school work and all is going well. Would love to hear when you can what your favorite part of your recent trip to Europe was.

Well, this old fat girl is going to bed now. I hope you all have a great Friday

Bye!

the boys found my booty. wedsday night my parents took me out
to supper and to see the glenn miller orchestra for my f**th bd. you dolls are
too young to remember him. get well soom buddy. i would be good if we could snap are fingers and make everyone better. glen

Happy Birthday, Glen!!!!!

Hi guys. I'm here now. The transition isn't quite over just yet but I'm running on Netzero right now. We did determine the phone problem is out in the box that our jacks run to. Before I call to get that all fixed, DH has to cut our 3 week old grass. He's having trouble with his lawnmower so I don't know what his plan is. he's off this weekend so I don't care if it has to be cut down with a pair of scissors. I have got my digital pictures uploaded to have the printed. There was nearly 100 of them. I actually used my video camera more than cameras. There isn't anything too exciting to see but if anyone wants to see the ocean they are welcomed to. I can see about doing the album invites.

Reading about Buddy reminds me not only of my grandfather who I lost to cancer in 1990 but also my grandpa that's living. I'm like Donna, I'm not giving up on him either but it is familiar. Miracles can happen though. My grandpa had his 24th treatment today with 18 to go. His kidneys are killing him and nothing can be done. His culture came back negative and the pain is due to the radiation he's receiving on his prostate. He is hallucinating terribly. My grandmother found him in the bathroom floor one night this week and he claims his dead brother helped him back to bed. He sleeps all the time and is very weak. They won't see that doctor until monday but if he's ready to give up treatments then I would agree with him. I hope it's not damaging the rest of his body in the process.

Summer what kind of cancer does buddy have? How old is he? I read that you're getting ready for your vacation plans coming up. That's exciting. My cousin and her family are leaving for MB in the morning. I'm envious of course. When we went to the Pavillon this year I talked to a lady at the ticket counter and she told me that about a month ago they had a bad storm and most of the rides were destroyed and had to be fixed. She said some of the most popular ones were down for 4 weeks waiting on parts. Laken rode some rides for the first time in her life. She rode the bumper cars with Dh and she rode the Tilt-a-whirl with me. Then we rode the merry go round and haunted hotel together. We had fun and it had been 3 years since we went that far up the ocean Blvd.

Donna I don't blame you about cable. I'm not sure about the DSl savings but have you looked and compared the prices of your package compared to Dish network or Directv? We've had directv since 1997. I compared it with my grandma's cable and it's unreal the channels she could get for the price of her basic cable. I have a small dilema approaching me today. My mother bought laken her first bras and considering her language delay and whatever, I have a feeling it will be hard to get her to wear them. I could imagine what she may tell everyone and the announcements she may make. That's why mama wanted her to now so it would be old before school starts back in a few weeks. Have you even begun talking to Elena about that part of life?

So when did rosey leave and when does she come back? I've missed so much and I certainly have missed everyone.

Daphne when does your family get back together and when does school start for you guys? Ours is August 10th and I have to register Brett at middle school July 27th.

Glen how is the weight coming for you? I need to change my chickie here in a minute. I gained 5.5 pounds while on vacation and did lose the .5 but don't know about today cause I was afraid to see it.

Well I am watching the Martha Stewart sentencing now and have loads to do but wanted to touch base with you all and let you know I miss you. BTW thank you for updating us on Dee, Donna.

Off To Do A Few Errands But Wanted To Make A Comment To Dana. We Bought Megan The Sports Bras To Begin With And She Didn't Seem To Care One Way Or The Other. She Now Has A Sports Bra But With The Skinny Adjustabe Straps. I Would Go With That Over A Training Bra That Looks Like A Bra. Walmart And Target Sell What We Have. The Last Ones Came From Target In A Set One White And One Pink And They Are Called Freestyle. Sorry About The Caps But I Was Typing And Saw They Were On And To Lazy To Retype It Today!
Daphne

Daphne I think those are what Laken has and she doesn't care either at this point. They do look like sports bras with bra-like straps but they aren't padded at all. Like my mama said, it's more like the old timey undershirts that girls used to wear under clothing. When Dh came home lastnight I heard him say "no not yet!" when he went in laken's room. He came out and told me that "she's just a baby". Well the baby is going on 9 1/2 now and because she is a little chunky in the stomach, she's ready to start training for a bra before she definately needs one. Anyway, I told him "thank you for bringing it up cause she hasn't said anything". Maybe she won't when she gets to school in a few weeks.

My mom got her hair cut yesterday and the lady who cuts it told her about another lady coming in the day before. She said that lady (Mrs. Rogers) is going to be laken's new companion aide. It's funny cause I haven't heard anything about the one she has leaving. I emailed the current one yesterday but haven't heard yet. I hope it was a misunderstanding cause laken had just adjusted to the current one this past year. It takes a while for someone to understand her needs.

I got booted off of ebay once again for having 2 user Id accounts. Of course I don't but they haven't responded to my email appeal yet. Last time I had to fax in my drivers license to prove my address. I don't know where this came from. I didn't have anything on auction anyway and haven't in over 2 weeks now but it's time to start again so hope they clear it up by monday at best.

Donna did your dad and sister get a new pool? I thought you were saying your dad was getting a pool with his new house? We really enjoyed the pools while at the beach. My cousin's family who lives up behind us has an in-ground pool and they left for MB this morning. Maybe I can take some advantage of that one this next coming week. DH informed me that he will be working all this next week including his off days. I like the overtime but some things around here just has to be done by him. He's working on my mom's grass right now with my grandpa's mower and then he will be down here. I want to get some sun soon. My tan I had is nearly gone and ladies if you've never noticed, you don't look quite as "FLUFFY" with a tan as you do snow white!

Summer I hope you get some good news about Buddy soon. Let us know what you hear and enjoy your pool while you can. It will be time to close it up before you know it but then again, I don't have to tell you that.

Well I'd better send this before I get cut off line again. Hope you have a good weekend.

daphne my weight loss is like a yoyo. glen

I sure hope Rosey is having the most wonderful time!!!

Glen, I hope your b-day went great!

Summer, when is your birthday? ??

Daphne, Can you send me some of your veggies??? I am wanting a nice FRESH salad.

Kris, Where ya be????

Dana, my Dad helped pay for a new inground pool that is on my Sister's property. It is on the side that his house is. He helped pay for it so that it will be our family pool. I don't feel real comfortable using it as such but Elena is enjoying it. It's so nice to just go right next door to swim. I know I have a while before Elena will start developing since she is so small. I remember my first bra. Still got it in my drawer.

Well, we are going out to eat tonight. I don't know where yet. LOL

I'll talk to you all soon...

OH!!! Dee, I hope you are not working too hard.

Bye!
