Painter
She gave me an antibiotic. I have to take 2 a day for 7 days. The darn things are horse pills lol. They NEVER want to let anything that has to do with my lungs get worse before it gets better. I all to quickly go into phenomena.

Painter - glad to hear you're digging out the paints again. Seems like it's been a while. Enjoy.

The eye turned out to be as Painter said - just aging. I could describe it, but it's gross. Let's just say it will rectify itself over time. Doc said I did the right thing coming to have it checked out. You should have seen him trying to get the eye drops in my eyes I am NOT a good candidate for eye surgery I kept pulling away from him. And I wasn't doing it on purpose, just a reflex action. I think we dialated my nostrils as much as my eyes. I am quite blind without my glasses. 5 feet away from me and you have no face at all kinda blind. Well I found there's a worse blind - eyes dialated and no glasses. It's like looking at the world through a bowl of water that you smeared with petroleum jelly. Very wierd. I'm sure it would have been more fun if I was slightly buzzed - pass me the bottle Ruth, will yah?

It's mostly worn off now which is good as I have to do some Internet surfing to plan our trip although I am sitting in a dark room with sunglasses as just the white backlight of the screen is a bit bright for me.

Hope you're enjoying your Saturday. Don't spend the entire weekend working Shad.

Oh and we're still considering buying the house in Rhode Island. DH is more against it than not but we are thinking it through. Shoot -- it's 2 miles from the ocean - heck I'd pitch a tent and live in the back yard just to get bathroom priviledges. And I'd get to eat seafood again. I miss having decent fish.

Happy, wouldn't the commute all the way from RI to TN be a bit tough?

[Hollyhock]

5 days, 12 hours, 21 minutes, 48 seconds til I leave for my road trip to Picton, Delta and Kingston!!!!

I am still on the mend and have partial hearing. Nice day with hockey and visit to the in laws. DFIL is recovering well from surgery and was deemed cancer free.

HUGS!!!

Um yeah. Particularly since I don't drive the highways/expressways

Buying the house in RI would mean we both get to retire early

After much discussion, doesn't look like it's going to happen At least not for now. 18 months from now would be much better timing.

Guess what. Came to work this afternoon and I can get into the site again. Wonder upon wonder. You lot are not pornographic any more. What happened, who knows. Maybe they did a back up and put things to rights. Anyway, I am here for the time being.

This morning I went for my morning exercise to Subiaco to the markets to get fresh fruit and veg and flowers and a friend rung me just as I was on the way home to ask if I wanted to go to Hillarys for lunch. Now I don't know Hillary - what is she talking about. It turns out that Hillarys is a seaside town/resort with shops and boardwalks etc. So we went and had fish and chips for lunch at the beach. It was very nice. My friend wanted to go shopping afterwards - her husband (lovely man) is leaving for Capetown, South Africa next Sunday to see his Mother and my friend Zen is meeting up with him and her sisters there in about 3 weeks time. So Zen wanted to get some gifts and things that aren't easily found in the Republic. Since I had a fair amount of work to do at home and I wanted to come here, I declined that offer and they dropped me off after lunch and carried on spending.
So here I am, at work, all alone trying to catch up with the changes. My downstairs boss has said NO to some more changes. Bless his little cotton socks.

Meadow - loved the cartoon. Maybe I should print it out in glorious living colour and stick it up in my cubicle. Could keep me chuckling on and off for a while.
While I think about it. Across the road from my apartment building, there is a office with the company name 'The OWIE Group'. Every time I see it, I think about you. The company is meant to provide people to mining groups etc. I'm really not sure of the choice of names for that purpose. There are enough owies going on in the mines without sending special ones.

Mel - I hope you and Jen and Ritchie really enjoy your day out at the picnic and that there is not too many people all ready to get up your nose or hack you off. Enjoy the day. As I think I said in my e-mail, I will ring usual time for you (Saturday) and my Sunday morning. Say hello to Mr Mayor from me - or rather g'day mate - if he is there.

Rennie - 4lbs is great. You are doing well. Sorry to hear about the lung infection and the horse tablets. Somethings just have to be done I'm afraid.

Holly - glad to hear you are feeling better. Take care of that ear. It's so hard when you start to lose hearing. Losing it suddenly must be awful.

Happy - Aging? Glad I am never going to get old!!! It would be just great to have white flashes in the eyes, ringing in the ears, and pain in the feet altogether hey! Lemme outa here.
Rhode Island. Sounds nice. I'd like the chowder and the seafood. I thought the chowder in SF was nice, and I so love fish chowder. I can wait 18 months though! Need to build up that nest egg again. Why retire? Why not find something you can do - like have a place that you can earn money from - good ol' English bed and breakfast or a self catering accommodation out the back. Still means housework, but that's better than housework and work and more work. Buy something out in the bush and you can spend the nights checking out the stars - celestial not Hollywood.

Painter - you can be anything you want when you are sixty. I mean I am pushing it and my kids just shake their heads and sigh at some of the more outlandish things I think up to do. Sometimes they even take my advice!!! Crikey now that really is pushing it.
No comment on the 'body heat'. I think fitness levels and self esteem has more to do with that - darn, I just commented on that.

So - October tomorrow (for me) and onto Ontario - with the cool blues and greens of summer and no doubt some of the gorgeous reds and yellows of fall. Can't wait.

Better go do some work. Have fun. See you tomorrow if this thing lets me in!

[Ruthxxx]

Having a wonderful weekend with my friend Shirleyanne. Her dog Is sort of a wuss and is allowing Hershey to be the Alpha dog - not that there was any contest. Poor Bella, a rescue Lab, cringes when you look at her but is coming around. Hersh actually gave her an ear lick and showed her how to go up and down stairs.

Time for breakfast AFTER I go out and pick some raspberries. We are off to Church at 10:30 with both dogs. I'll drive them back to Ottawa this afternoon.

Tomorrow is OCTOBER!

[Shy Moment]

Meolody
Thanks you are always so supportive.

Shad
Why do I have the feeling lol as you were typing that you sounded like my daughter. MOTHER shut up and take the stupid pill. lol She said the same thing, sorry they are horse pills ( she was not sorry lol ) shut up and take the darn thing lol.

It has really blown the kids away. I am not a complainer, I never complain. My arm could fall off and I would just pick it up, sigh because I was to darn busy to go to the doctor and then take the arm and myself to the doc to have it put back on. NOT this time. Everyone in this house now knows what I go thru when they are sick. I have wondered around telling everyone including the coffee maker I am sick. I have moaned and groaned. I have sneezed in every room lol. I have sighed at the top of my voice and said, NO ONE CARES IF I DIE. This morning my son said Mom what is up with you. You never bother with being sick. I said ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh now you know what I go thru each and every time you or your sister have the sniffles. lolol

My husband was laughing and said. Was it a lot of work to act like us. I said I am existed. How do you all do this the whole time you are sick. I don't think they got the complete point. They just laughed at me.

[Hollyhock]

Shad- glad you made it on here and that we are not pornographic any longer.

I will have to take lots of fall pics on my tour next weekend.

Had another nice long sleep. As did the rest of the people here. So nice for us all. DH is out in the bush hauling in wood. Deer hunting season starts tomorrow and he wants to get it finished today for obvious reasons. Getting shot is not an option.
I do need to get groceries today. After we eat I will clear the diningroom table so DS can do his homework and then clean the kitchen. When hubby comes in for lunch I will go shopping. MUCH cleaning and laundry to do today.
I have a lot less pain in my ear and side of my head. I would say my hearing is at about 75%.

[Shy Moment]

Holly
So glad to hear you are feeling better. The antibiotic the doc gave me yesterday is already starting to work. I can feel everything breaking up and I can hear a bit better.

Hunting season is upon us. Hubby is a bow hunter will be time soon for meat in the freezer .

Cleaning is done except a quick run thru. One more load of laundry to fold and the day is mine.

[happy2bme]

Good morning chicks,

Everyone is sounding chipper today.

Mel - moving to RI would mean getting out of Tennessee once and for all. Still looking for that place to ultimately retire to. But it ain't going to happen (at least not for the moment). If we did then YOU would be the southern sister - Are you saying by your comment of driving the chair that when your peepers are acting up that your vision gets all blurry like that? I had no idea. Cripes honey, that deserves a good snort Today I'm seeing little black flecks, like ground black pepper but as long as I don't look at anything with a white background, it's ok. I can deal with anything as long as I know it's temporary. Hope you get out for just a bit of nice, fresh air today. I'll ask the people around you to keep the schmutz levels down just for you Guess you "fig"ured out that there's yet another food that goes on the off limits list. Sorry to hear about that.

Shad your breakfast sounds just absolutely lovely. What a nice break from a stressful week. Hope you don't have to work too long today. Thank goodness someone stood up and finally said - NO MORE CHANGES I didn't realize that you like "chow-duh" would have made you some if I had known. I always find these things out AFTER you leave Ok, put it in the file for next time.

Good to hear you are feeling better Rennie and Holly. All this talk of hunting, must mean that fall is approaching. Takes a tremendous amount of skill to go bow hunting, bravo on the DH Rennie.

Pretty picture Ruth. Glad you and Shirleyanne (love that name) are having a good time.

Well as usual, I do have alot to do today and it's not getting done in front of a computer so off I go.

to Painter, Carla, Madcat, Meadow, Ceejay, Nae and I know I'm forgetting someone (sorry).

Go have some fun...

[Shy Moment]

happy
I don't tend to eat a lot of meat. His hunting fills the freezer until next hunting time. That meat I eat. Natural, low in fat and tastes good lol. I would never make fun of our veggie friends here. I know they are eating how they think is best for them and that is good. Vegetarian, Indian word for bad hunter lol.

[Shad]

Morning all,
Yep it is still back but the world clock is now off limits so I won't ring anyone on that side of the world in case my maths has worked the time differences out wrong again.
I'm back at work - well it is Monday, but today is a holiday Monday here in WA. Proclamation Day or Queens Birthday or something. I didn't realise it was a public holiday until around a week ago or I would have gone home or gone away for the weekend, but there you go. Should have looked at the calendar more closely.

I weighed and measured officially this morning this being the 1st of October here. And I am challenging myself to a loss this month. October has to be better than September doesn't it? So there it is - this time I am going to do some exercise, but not as much as I was. It seems this body now needs more time to recover. And I am going to practice portion control. That's the aims for the month.

Rennie - I see you have put another smilie on the bottom of your post. Congratulations - another 5lb gone. Doing great. I have a son who is vegetarian. He is doing okay, I was worried about protein etc at first, but he is adamant he feels so much better without meat. He always used to have headaches and stomach aches but no longer complains about any of that. He was also allergic to cows milk as a baby and child. So maybe there is something there. Anyway his vegeism has shown me more ways to do things with veges so I am happy about that.
You have my permission to harp on and on about how sick you are and how horrible the horse tablets are. Maybe next time they get sick, they may remember how bad tempered and grumpy you sounded. On the other hand maybe not. Miracles don't happen that often.

Happy - I was there in the middle of sum-muh so chow-duh wasn't even a blip on the culinary calendar at the time. Besides which you made that yummy strawberry and spinach salad that I like so much. Should try that out on the DS1 and partner when they come over next month. I'm glad the boss has said no more changes as well. It will be interesting to see the look on my team members face when she reads the direction. But I'll not be nasty about it.

Holly - glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. Please take plenty of pics for us to enjoy the Ontario onset of autumn. Glad to hear that the DH is taking the safe option on firewood retrieval. Seem to remember some bloke in NZ got shot dead in hunting season and he was wearing a bright red anorak. Now I ask you - what animal goes happily along in the forest in a coat of bright red? The only thing that is red in NZ forests is the Rata flower and it only blooms at the top of trees and the flower is not man-size and doesn't move around a lot.

Mel - got the note. Went to see what sort of time you would be looking at only to find the world clock is now classed as pornographic. Suggest someone might have put Elvis' legs as the pendulum and the gyrating hips have upset the nanny. Life is so ironic.

Ruth - enjoy your time with Shirleyanne and Bella. We always had Anne Marie and Maryanne in NZ but when I came to Aus - there were the 'annes everywhere. Belinda-anne, Sueanne, Jananne, Keira-anne, you name it, it probably had anne tacked on the back. Glad Hersh has someone to show the way. It's probably done her as much good as it has you. Drive safe. Love the photo. Keep 'em rolling in.

And with that - it's time to go do some work. I'm on my own here. It's quiet, warm and peaceful. Now watch some buzzard come and stuff it up. See ya.

I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go!

[Madcat]

It's already October in Auz, so it's time to move on in our "world-wind" tour. Let's head to October in Ontario.
