Good afternoon to you. I have been sick from this medicine and haven't felt like doing much of anything so I didn't get in here yesterday. I feel a bit better today and am trying to get the house cleaned while Jack is at his semi yearly cardiology appt.
It takes me awhile, but I get it all done eventually. I have to keep the car tomorrow and take it to the adjuster/repair shop and pick up the rental car so I want to get some of the cleaning done since I haven't felt like doing it and it needs it.
Jean: The big issue with getting the car fixed is the two other car's insurance companies. The back car, which was a Silverado pick up, was at fault, he hit the Ford Ranger, who was behind Jack and couldn't keep from hitting Jack. The Ford Ranger's insurer won't pay for the whole thing as they say it is the Silverado's fault and his insurer should pay. We could wait it out, as to what percentage who pays, but it could take a long time and then it would be a problem again as to where we would take it, etc, since neither company will except total blame on our vehicle. So after talking to our agent it was decided we would file the claim with Geico our insurer, then Geico would go after the other two. Since we have a deductible, we have to pay it up front, but according to the agent my husband made the repair appt with, she said that Geico goes after the deductible reinbursement first so we hope and figure we will get it back.
Maggie: Sounds like you are cookin' up a storm as usual.
Susan: Obviously your kitty is very smart. I imagine they are like humans who are deaf, they use other skills to get along. Hope you enjoy the AARP group.
I need to go so I can do a bit more housework. You all have a good middle of the week. Faye
GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS 
It isn’t an exotic color but very very near the color of what hair that isn’t gray on my head is. Since the thyroid meds I have been taking from my early teen years has slowly made my hair thin I can no long keep it red because the light brown makes it look thicker. Advice given to me by my hair dresser. It really does work. I am not so thin I am ready for a wig or to go totally bald though for I do still have hair. Just not the luscious thick locks I had in my youth. How is your corn there ~ it is so good here this year. So very good. 
I did ask Bob about who is responsible in a 3 car accident. Car #2 is responsible for #1 (you), and car #3 is responsible for both #1 and #2. The problem is when there is more than two insurance companies involved. Bottom line is that you shouldn't have to pay anything. Your insurance adjuster should go to bat for you, and let the other two companies duke it out between them. In the end the last driver's insurance company is responsible for all expenses. I hope you get a good rental car and your deductible back in full. That is freaky about the glass exploding in the dishwasher. I wonder if it just was touched, by something else in a weak spot. 
as I type so I hope we will get lots of good rain to make the veggies grow. Cecil is just too funny. I have never seen a cat that lies down while eating but he does. Puts his paws on each side of the bowl and lays there and eats. I haven’t had a lot of cats through the years so maybe this is normal behavior. 
Will has left now to go to the museum and the dogs are being entertained by some barking dogs in the neighborhood. For dinner I will be making Beef Stroganoff using some left over steak I will slice thin to use in it. It is a good recipe to use it in. I cook a recipe I clipped from a WW magazine years back and have adjusted the Points+ value up one point to be in line with the new program. It is so easy to make and very yummy. Comfort food at it’s best. After I get off here I will do my walking program. I am proud of myself 
for this will be my 4th day straight I have stuck with it this week. I have the 2 pounds of beef jerky that came yesterday all weighed and placed in snack bags back into the heavy plastic it was shipped in and into the freezer. The strips of jerky are just the right length to fit into those handy little snack bags and usually one ounce is three strips. One ounce makes a great item to eat with Cutie sections and a boiled egg for a nutritious lunch. I realize that WW has said in the past to avoid jerky but since I have learned to portion it out and keep it in the freezer and only eat one serving ~ it has worked for me. For I don’t 
out on it like I did in the old days of yore. I noticed something today ~ my ears haven’t been itching like they used to. I have had drops prescribed that worked throughout the years but then when the prescription ended the itch came back. Anyway last trip to my doc she suggested I use the stuff I use on the rash I get on a small area on my “bad” leg. It is prescription strength of cortisone type cream called Fluocinonide. It sure worked with a couple applications on my ear canal. It is the best itch cream I have ever used. I have excellent hearing but my ears don’t manufacture much wax which makes for itchy ears.
How old is Casper now? How nice to have your personal hair dresser. You fortunate person having nice thick locks. I imagine your hair looks so cute in a pixie. 
Much as I hate WM, I figured he can buy most anything he might need there, food if nothing else. I've got laundry going and need to dust.
on 4 days of walking exercise!
which all he got was the meat of it as a treat. Anyway she asked where she could get a nice bumper sticker for Kansas and we said we would look about for her as we were in different bergs. We could find one nowhere so when we got home I found some on the web. I copied & pasted 4 and Will can take them to her today when she works and decide which one she wants and can order it. We got home and I hadn't done my walking yet so I did it before I got started in anything. Then it was time to do dinner which was an easy warm up of the Stroganoff as a re-run. We had a wonderful drive out and about. 
I know you will be so thankful when the next 6 weeks has passed and you can really start to feel better. You are going through such an ordeal. It is good that you have your knitting to help keep your mind off your "issues." That's a good idea to just do one mitten at first until you know if it will work then go on from there.
