[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]GOOD DAY MAGNOLIAS

It is in the 30's as I type but tomorrow it is supposed to be real cold. Don't now how cold but they say it will be cold. My back hurts, not real bad just a steady ache. It is my weakest point so when I am fixin' to get something or have something. I just plain don't like it but don't do too much when it hurts like this so I don't make it worse. Gives me an excuse to be lazy. We had guests for dinner last night and had a lovely time. I served Lasagna, green salad and toasted french bread. I stayed within my portions and feel good about my points. I did show a bit of a loss at WW on Monday's weigh in which was point eight. Not much but I was happy because my record has always been if I miss a week I show a gain. The fog kept me home last week as it did for a lot of the WW members according to the leader. The building inspector was here this morning and she said that all is OK for we don't have any termites. She also said that they may come because of all the moisture we have been having this year. But if they do come between now and the next check next year they will be easy to eradicate. It is set up that the church building and this house gets a thorough check each year. Don't want termites.

DONNA FAYE Not feeling so good are ya. This too shall pass for they will get your system all fixed up. I hope Tom does get good results from his surgery. My heart goes out to little Jackson. Poor dear. Those bouts must make him so miserable. Yank those tonsils out, I say.

SUSAN The sun here also ~ but cold. Burrrrrrrrrrr

JEAN No candy ~ for you! Sometimes it is hard to resist and others it is easier. Go figure. Those antique dishes will find a home that appreciates them I am sure.

Everyone have a wonderful afternoon. Type at y'all later

Good morning ladies! Just a quick post as I have to get around and get showered and such. I have to be at the clinic for the tests at 7 am sharp. I don't know why they make everyone come at 7 am but they do. I want to get this over and done with. I am told the uterine thing is uncomfortable, but they so was the barium enema and I got through that so I imagine I can get through this. I just hope it doesn't take long and it is over and done with.

Maggie: You take it easy and rest yourself. Sometimes we just can't push ourselves even when we want to. It is supposed to get pretty nasty here tonight. There is a possibility of 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice, UGH! I wanted Jack to take tomorrow off too so he doesn't have to get out in it, but he didn't want to. I just hope it isn't too bad. Leaving in the dark like he has to is the worst part.

They gave Jackson antibiotics. This is the crap they did with Jay over and over again, give antibiotics and check in two weeks to see how they did. Well of course they took the tonsils down and everything looked good then a couple months later everything was swollen and infected again. It is ridiculous for them to continue this yoyo, but drs just don't like to take them out. I am not happy about it, but hopefully he will feel better for a longer time this time. It isn't the parents fault. They can't make the dr do anything.

I better go and get a couple things done before I go upstairs and shower. You all have a good day today and I will take to you later and let you know how it went. Faye

Good Morning, Flowers! The sun is shining but it's cold out there . . . -7 when I came downstairs this morning. A grocery store chain has bought our our three small local pharmacies and now when we call for refills, each time we get a different person answering the phone and a chance that we will have a different pharmacist filling the scripts. The pharmacy we go to (for 30+ years) stayed in the same place while the other two moved into the main store pharmacy. They have given us old meds mixed in with new, meds I don't need refilled, etc., etc., etc. This morning I got fed up and we are switching to Walgreens because the only other choice is WM and I refuse to go there. I know my bp is probably sky high right now.

Susan -- How long do you bake your chicken? I am always afraid mine is not done when I bake it in the oven. If we had all of our snow in the form of rain, I most likely could use the basement as a pool. I don't think that an inch of snow equals and inch of rain though. Bob did say the other night that WE need to get down there and clean the junk out, then put the leftover boxes up on shelves before the snow melts. I hate the basement so would be nice to have company while I sort and pitch. We still have some stuff of his mom's that if any of his siblings come back this summer they can go through the boxes. If not he says that stuff will be gone too.

"Gma" -- I hope that Tom came through his surgery ok and everything checks out in his favor. I remembered that today is 'your' day and also hope that you get some much needed answers/solutions to your health challenges. You and Susan talking about chicken dinners makes me hungry for chicken! When Jason was little he would just get over one ear infection and a couple weeks later have another one. We tried the tubes; had 3 sets of those. I wish Jay good luck!

Maggie -- Any loss is a good loss! Congrats! I never thought about having termites until Jason and Amanda had them in one of their apts. They were really thick and the exterminator just couldn't get rid of them. He told them not to worry though, because when they moved the termites that moved with them would die because their family had been split up. I see you were chatty again yesterday! I hope your backache is better today. I've been there and it's not fun for sure.

I'm off to get dressed and get busy. I need to do a clothes hunt as I found some shirts and not the slacks to go with them.

Have a terrific Thursday! Remember to big!

Jean -- in Iowa!

Maggie, I am sorry I was so self absorbed this morning I didn't recognize your loss! WTG girl!!!

Ok, here is what they said as they were doing the tests. I have no cysts on either ovary and they look ok. I have a large polyp, small polyp and a cyst in my uterus (guess that is what has been causing the trouble.) I have a reg dr appt the 18th to discuss the results. I am placing bets on them wanting to take out the plumbing so to speak, but we shall see what they want to do.

Kelly warned me the test could be painful so at least I was prepared for it. It did cramp significantly when they put in the saline and groped around in there, but I had taken a bunch of meds before leaving the house and took some more after the appt when Jack and I went and got some breakfast so now am ok with just a little cramping. I did have bleeding but she said that would slack off pretty quickly, so I am ok. The saline leaks out gradually over the day so you kind of feeling like you peed your pants sometimes, but even that seems to be finished now.

I will let you know what they say about all of it after the dr appt. in a couple weeks. Thanks for your good thoughts!!

I'm glad your test is finished and you are home again! It's too bad you have to wait so long to see the doctor.
