Wow-Joanne, when my triglycerides were high, I went to complex carbs, cut way down on sugar and walked-not really far and they were down in 3 weeks. mine are probably high again.
Where does Jessica go to school, Tammy?
I love Vince Gill and Amy Grant. My niece bought tickets for my SIL and I a couple of years ago.
Jon will be there for the baby I am sure. If they turn to God-they will be fine. I bought them bibles and they read them last week. They both come from alcoholic families and it sure has affected them . I keep telling my daughter io go to Adult Children of Alcoholics-it helped me tremendously. And I went to Al-anon for 23 years. Great help.
Chiro and grocery shoppin this am and hair tonight. Nails yesterday-she worked on my ingrown nail. I am high maintenca these days.
Bye Mima

Meme- Thanks- I will look for those capsules tomorrow when I go to W/M .I would never agree to taking meds for diabetes untill all my choises were used. That is the last resort.Joanne

Meme, I just bought some of those at Wal Mart when I was there the other day. Started taking them yesterday. I'm going to mention what you said to Bob. His sugar is always running high.

Joanne, let's both give the green tea things a try for a while and see what happens.

Mima, Jessica transferred to the same school where Tim is going. She went to a community college last year and lived at home. I wasn't happy when I found out that she was transferring. I felt like last year she stayed at home since Tim was still in HS. I was hoping that they would both have their own college experiences, so they could find out for sure if they are right for each other.

Tonight was the first night for water aerobics for this session at the Y. Boy could I tell that I hadn't been there since last spring. I'm glad that I'm getting started again though. I know that I'll feel better.

By the end of the day at school, I was tuckered out. My back ached so bad, so I knew that going to the Y was the best thing for me tonight. We have Open House tomorrow night. I've decided that if I go to school, I'm not going to Open House. If I don't go to school, I'll go to Open House. I know that I can't do both. Looking forward to sleeping in on Friday. I may have to rethink this T-W-Th schedule. I wanted to keep Fridays open so I wouldn't be too tired for whatever was going on over the weekends. It seems like our school has so many M and F off during the year too. Weird schedule.

I need to get to bed soon. Hope you are all doing well.

Good morning. Hmm-water aerobics sound so nice. I don't remember that you have Fridays off? Tammy. Refresh me. I understand how you want Tim to have his own experience. But kids have a mind of their own.
Suzanne is feeling terrible and going through all the stages of acceptance, my best friend reminded me of.
Brad got the tub for the apt last night. The price keeps going up but I can see in the long run it will not only bring income, but increase the value of the house big time! How's that for acceptance.
I had my hair highlighted-the color is beautiful but I am so allergic to the chemicals. Wheezing like crazy. The price of beauty,
I hope the capsules work for you., Joanne. I bet Brad wouldn't take them-he is working so hard, he keeps his sugar down. But eventually he will run out of steam.
Hi Meme and Anne. Where is Candice-time to check in there. Mima

Mima, I'm only going to school 3 days a week. The one 5th grade teacher does centers on T-W-Th, so those were the days that I planned to be there because I am in charge of one of the centers. I knew there was no way I could do 5 days, and everyone is fine with that. You are so right about kids having minds of their own. A new tub will help the place I'm sure. They say it's the little things that help with the value.

I hardly slept last night and am very achy this morning. I just sent an email to the principal and the teachers I work with that I won't be there today. No plans to do for a sub, and that feels weird. They don't get a sub for me if I'm not there. Bob doesn't even know that I'm staying home. I'll write him a note since I plan to try to get some sleep.

Have a great day everyone!

Tammy- I hope you feel better and get some rest. It is good that you are only working 3 days a week - kind of getting you ready to retire The kids will do what they want I guesss. They are in love and feel the need to be together. I can remember that feeling!

Mima - I hope you stop wheezing soon. My goodness, it must be terrible to so allergic. Can't you get shots for all that? They say, kitchens and bathrooms are what sell houses, so I guess you are making the right improvements.

Joanne - I hope that those green tea pills work for you and bring your sugar in line. I read that eating a dish with vinegar in it will also stabalize blood sugar (need about a tablespoon of vinegar). I hope they get all those highs, normalized without medications.

Meme - Hope you are resting.

I am off work today, go tomorrow. I kind of like this, working just a couple days a week is good for me. I am hurting today, and my darn chiro is away on holidays until Monday. I guess I will just have to tough it out. It is cooling off a bit and it looks like by next week, we are in for really cool Fall weather. So far this month we have had great weather (80's). I personally like it a little cooler, around 74-76 degrees.

I hope you all have a good day.

Anne, I'm still pretty achy and my temp has been up and down all day. I usually don't run a temp when I have fibro flares. How about all of you? This has been the pits. It has made me drink lots of water today though because I'm so warm.

I guess you're right about Tim and Jess. I know they care so much for each other, so maybe it really is love.

We should get together on our days off since we aren't working everyday!! lol I hope you can get into your chiro as soon as possible to help you out!
I haven't been to mine for a while. Maybe I should call tomorrow. Might make me feel better for the weekend.

I got so mad at my hubby today for not listening to me that I hung up on him. He called me back and started in again ... I tried to tell him some stuff ... he wasn't listening again. Just kept insisting I do this 'one thing' and everything would be ok. Then he said, never mind, he'd do it when he got home. I hung up again and when he called back I just didn't bother to answer. Doesn't do any good to talk to him ... doesn't listen. I told him when he got home that I get tired of him never listening to a word I say so I've decided to just not talk to him when he gets like that.

CVS pharmacy charged over $300 on my Health and Savings Visa last week but they told me the card wasn't working and wanted me to pay cash for my prescriptions. I wouldn't do it. They must have run that card through their register a dozen times ... all the time I was standing there telling them not to do that ... woudn't listen. (Getting tired of people doing that to me!) Kept running it through - register wouldn't take the card. I asked them if they took all those charges off. They said nothing went through but yes ... everything was backed off and nothing was on the card ... said they were SURE! Then they said, what do you want to do about your medicine. I said, nothing, bye. My best friend's daughter was with me, I had picked her up at school. She said the clerk 'mocked' me and said, behind my back, "BYE". Made me even madder (if possible ... needed the drugs!) I've had a lot of trouble with that store. Friday I went to Wal Mart with new prescriptions from the Dr. and they said the ins. co. said they couldn't fill them ... been too soon since they had been filled (at CVS!). I told them those weren't filled and they called over there to have them call the ins. co. Then my card wouldn't run at WM either - insufficient funds!!! It was Friday evening and too late to do anything, had to pay for the meds. This week I called the number on the card and CVS had charged over $300 on the card and didn't take it off. I called the store and they say they can't take it off ... they called 'corporate' and corporate said THEY didn't know how to take it off my VISA either. I have the amounts and the access codes for each amount that is in their register and they can't trace it back and refund my VISA ... guy at Wells Fargo (where my VISA card is with) said it's easy for them to do. I told them I'd bring my card back up there for them to do a refund but they still say they don't know how to do that. I called the toll free headquarters # for CVS and told them what's going on and they have called their bank to see what they can do. The store offered me $300 IN CASH. Can you believe that. I need this money returned to my health and savings card to show that I didn't receive medicine that day. I can't accept cash from a health and savings card. I had them yelling at me saying they couldn't refund a VISA then I had hubby yelling at me saying, well if you just called them back and threatened to call 'corporate' yourself and tell them what's going on they'll get on the ball and figure out how to refund the card." I told him he didn't realize how ignorant the clerks up there are. He just kept on and then said he'd do it ... made me so mad ... like I wasn't doing it right. Do you ever feel like just running away? I just hung up and cried - felt like getting in my van and driving until I ran out of money - i probably would have left for a while if I hadn't had students coming this afternoon.

SORRY ... I'm through now!

Holy Toledo-what a crazy mess. Can't believe they couldn't get it off your card. Hope you cleared it up/ Meme. Sometimes Brad gets to talking and has no idea of what is coming out of his mouth. So yesterday I had to ask him Not to tease me in front of Leah and NOT to tell her our p[ersonal business. I love leah but I do not like this situation-3 more weeks.
Pollen count is high-wheeze-No walk today-makes it worse.
I love 3 days, Tammy. Sounds like you might have a bit of a bug. I had something a couple of weeks ago. Maybe its a computer virus!!! ha!!!!
I would like to be working to get out of the house a couple of days. And make some money.
Awake at 3-Brad got up -couldn't go back to sleep-same as yesterday.
Last words from Suzanne last night-I think I will go read my bible-Yikes-that's the miracle I want!!!Been praying for. Nothing like a crisis to get you to pray.
I like the 70's too Anne. But I would love a frost to kill the ragweed.
Hi Joanne. Bye Mima

Meme, how awful for you! I can't believe they didn't know how to credit the account for what shouldn't have been charged. I've had similar problems in the past, and there was no problem. We have a CVS near here, and I've only shopped there once after they first opened. I wasn't impressed, so I've never gone back. I do all of my pharmacy at WalMart or the mail-in program with Anthem. Yes, husbands can be irritating at times.

Mima, Bob never talks about our business when I'm around, so I hope he doesn't share too much info when I'm not there. Hope the pollen count goes down so you can get your walk in.

I definitely think it's a bug now. My temp was up again this morning. I was up with the dog at 6, went back to bed at 9, was up until 11:30, went back to bed until 1:00. I still feel awful. Have to get better to go to the football game tomorrow night!! Computer virus!!! Funny!!!

How awesome that Suzanne was going to go read her bible!! When Tim was getting packed for school, he put his bible in the suitcase and said, I'll need that!!! Our new principal has a bible on his desk in his office. There was also a small plaque with a teacher prayer on it. Made me feel good about him. Hope it isn't just for show.

YES ... CVS "corporate" that I called yesterday called me back today and said their bank said they finally figured it all out and have refunded my card the full amount. It should be posted to my card in 3 to 5 days. The woman that called me back said the people at their bank said they had never seen such a mess. I bet the Manager at the CVS here got an ear full! (I never did call them and tell them I wasn't coming for the $300 in cash they supposedly had waiting!

Sure glad you got that straightened out., Meme. And I hope you feel better, Tammy.
The pollen count is high-My head is full and I am wheezing. Going to a bd party for a one year old-and a Christian bands concert tonight. And tomorrow-a church gathering at 1. The food is going to be awesome at the bd party but it's Italian so i won't be able to eat it.
I don't know of any principal who keeps a bible on his desk so I wouldn't think that was for show, Tammy.
I worked on my crafts yesterday-everything is marked and I painted 3 more mini-pictures. Just a little sewing left and to finish the poncho/
Bye for now Mima

Meme, what a relief!! That has to make you feel much better!!

Mima, I'm feeling better so far this morning. Temp is "normal" which is 97.5. I think that I am leery about the principal after the last joker we had. He put on a good show, but then was such a loser. I think this guy will be a huge improvement.

Need to go pack some things for our overnighter. Football game, get together with Tim afterwards, go to church with him in the morning, do lunch, then come home.

I hope you have a great time, Tammy. My gf and I were discussing how much fun it was when my daughter was in college and I went in to visit in Cambridge-the boys were far away so I didn't go vist them, She's in the process of helping her d find a college for next year.
Life lesson-If you have diverticulosis, do not eat pasta with lots of tiny bits of garlic. I couldn't eat the lasagna yesterday so I ate that at the party. Actually, there was nothing I could eat except the peanut butter balls. Luckily, I have stopped running to the bathroom and slept all night.I think I need a liquid diet today. Will have to go to wally worls and get generic ensure.
And we have the church picnic today.
Hi Anne, Meme, Joanne. How's the bp Joanne? Mima

Mima, we had a wonderful time! The school Tim attends is a pretty small school. They played Indiana Univ. last night (big school), and Ball State only lost by 1!! It was a great game. If they continue to play like that, they should have a good season. The band looked and sounded great. It was great seeing Tim and Jessica again. The church they attend over there is so nice! Very welcoming. I liked that. I hope that is what my church is like when visitors come. I'll have to make sure the next time there is a visitor!!

Ouch to what you went through after eating!! Hope you are feeling better, but with the church picnic, it sure would be hard to find things to eat.

I need to go pick up the dog from the doggy hotel pretty soon. I'm sure he'll be glad to see me.
