Good Morning, Flowers! The wind continues to blow but nothing like yesterday. It's cloudy and cold -- "feels like" 8 outside although I didn't think it was too bad. Bob thought we had about 10" when he blew the driveway this morning. Parts of main highways on the way to Sioux City are closed and our county has been told to stay off the highways. We have no school today so didn't go into church and count this morning. I did pick up the gift shop money so that is ready for the bank after lunch.
Susan -- As we watched it snow Bob commented that at this time last year, many of the local farmers had been in the fields getting them ready to plant. We saw 3 robins on Saturday! Silly birds always seem to come back in time for a snow storm! Have fun quilting today! :D Maggie -- What a cute birth announcement! Am I correct in assuming your mother is no longer living? We haven't eaten Chinese for quite a while, that sounds good. :T It's almost lunch time so guess I will warm up some soup. Hope you all have a warm, sunny day where you live! Enjoy! :wave: |
Marvelous Monday ~ Weigh Day
♪ ♥♫ GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS☺♫ It is another chilly day here in the ♥-Land with just a slight breeze ~ Hallelujah ~ the wind has abated and the snow has melted. My aches and pains I get when it is humid are gone and I feel GOOD. I have a new batch of :dust: and am going to get back with it. I weighed the same on my scale this day and that is a good thing for I really don’t do so well when I miss a meeting and I’ve missed two in a row now but it couldn’t be helped. I have got to get it into my head to do well regardless. The boys are at the groomer and will come home all smelling good for about half hour. I suppose if they were totally “inside dogs” then they would stay salon clean longer but they love to frolic outback so much. I have never seen a cat miss dogs when they are gone like he does. I think I will thaw a rack of ribs and do them in my indoor pressure smoker tomorrow. A nice tasty low point+ coleslaw and some toasted sourdough bread and baked beans will make a meal. Our friend out in Texas is coming tomorrow for a couple of days ~ he needs a “get away” and what better place to get away for a couple days but here. :lol: His wife said “go” ~ she has to work. . I’ll miss not seeing her for she is a wonderful friend as he is. He has been quite at lost ends since he retired from the fire department. He visits daily to the rest home where his crabby, cranky mother lives; she so demanding and her complaining is wearing him out. I used to get a kick out of her but couldn’t be around her for long periods of time either. Bless her heart she wasn’t like that in her younger days but he is a wonderful son to visit with her. We will take him out to the range and pop a few caps. Hopefully the wind won’t be blowing but a breeze is nice. I don’t like going out there when it is blowing hard. :no: JEAN My mother has passed on. The esteate is just now in the process of being settled. Takes awhile to get it all settled. I wonder if your snow will melt as fast as ours did. Silly Robins should have known better. :p Have a great day Magnolias ~ :wave: Yack at you later. |
Wow, I was sure I posted here this morning. I must be losing it as I remember reading the posts. Oh, well, try again. It has dried out, but it is chilly today. I thought it was going to warm up today, but maybe not until tomorrow. I know we are supposed to have warmer weather creaping in.
We are having baked steak and mashed potatoes this evening. I haven't decided which frozen veggie to have with it yet. Our veal chops were great last night and I really enjoyed my cauliflower. I almost made mashed cauliflower but got lazy and just ate it as it. Jack won't touch it so I just enjoyed it myself. I ordered my little pedal machine so I hope by sometime next week I have it to start exercising. I don't like being able to get moving. It makes you feel better no matter how big or small you are once you do it regularly. Susan: Thanks for the link. I have seen the silicone handle covers and wondered how well they worked. You forgot the amusement park workers, but I would imagine they have taken a big hit in their customer base. I mean if it is money for food or entertainment, people buy groceries. Your part of the country is definitely military driven with all the bases and such. My best friend can't get a job to save her life in Indiana. She has her certificate to do medical coding, but there just aren't any jobs. Her lazy husband won't get off his bum and look for work so she is expected to be the earner. He uses an achy back as an excuse, but he sures gets around ok when he wants cigarettes. He refuses to quit even though they have absolutely no money to buy them. He uses his pension money and with the price of the things, they could feed themselves with that money. It gets my dander up, but I can't say anything of course. Looks like our capital is going to cut something like 8000 civilian jobs. So much for Obama getting our economy and jobs back here. It is so sad. Maggie: That is a cute announcement. I have one of Kelly's and Jay's in their baby book. I particularly liked Kelly's. I am glad your family is one that accepts whatever inheritence they get and doesn't get nasty or backstab just to get more. My mother's family would stab each other in the back and did to get at my grandparents things. It was revolting. Jack and I cut out any problem, we put what we wanted to go to who in our will so there was no disagreement. We don't have $$$$ but I do have some valuable antiques that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother and Jack's grandparents. I also have several LLadro pieces Jack bought for me when he was in the Navy. They all go to Jay. I divided up my jewelry between my dd and dil too. I don't have a lot of valuable stuff, but a few pieces. Jean: My azaleas have started to bloom so I hope we have no more freezing days. I am sick of the rain too. I am ready for nice, warm, sunny days and being able to go back to wearing sandals. I do enjoy the new loafer style driving mocs though. They are pretty darn comfortable sort of like wearing slippers. Hope your bad weather doesn't last long and you start warming back up and melting. Everyone have a good rest of the day. Fortune is barking like crazy as I am ignoring him so I guess I better sit in the chair and let him into my lap. :lol: Faye |
Titilating Chilly Tuesday
♪ ♥♫ GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS☺♫ This is another day in the 30ºs and 40ºs with the sun shining and little chance of rain ~ they say there is a 30% chance of snow this afternoon. I will keep :crossed: that this comes about not because I want to build a snow man or go sledding but because we do need moisture badly. Well the scale didn’t do as bad as I thought it would last evening for I am just up a pound which I will endeavor to have gone by next weigh day. We may be in for some more “weather” towards the end of the week but it is nice that the last storm is almost all melted. It is nice to get it that way for it gets a chance to soak in before being frozen underneath a new storm. There was an item that I remembered always was present on a kitchen counter at all the holiday family gatherings and I didn’t see it on any ones “want list” in the will so I called my brother and asked him if he had seen it, which he hadn’t, so I told him if he did run across it to put my name on it for I wanted it. He called a bit earlier today and said one of the gals helping him clean out the house found a large stainless steel pitcher in a cupboard above the stove today and it sure was a nice one and if I hadn’t already made dibs on it he would have taken it. :lol: It holds at least a gallon and maybe more. I am thinking what a neat thing it would be to heat water over a camp stove to do dishes with or take a bath with. It would fit on a burner better than a bucket would. A galvanized metal bucket is good to hang over an outdoor camp fire to boil water in. There are some places we go where you are not permitted to build a camp fire. He said he found some other things he will put in the box with that when he sends it like a couch, rocking chair, hutch when I said, “STOP ~ sell the furniture in a second hand store if you don’t want any of it but send me anything else in that box that you think I would want.” It’s no telling what “else” he will send but I get that pitcher. :cp: I am so happy I put “dibs” on it before it was ever located. :lol: I really didn’t know if she still had it since several years back they sold their huge 4 bedroom house and down sized into a smaller place with a much smaller yard to take care of. I know she “got rid” of a lot of things then and didn’t plan on having as many large gatherings in her home anymore. But she did keep that pitcher and I am thankful she did put it way up in a top cupboard to stay there for years. But bless her heart, Dene’ climbed up on a ladder and got things out of that cupboard and looked down at my brother with glee and said, “Look, I found Maggie’s pitcher.” I need to get a rack of ribs out of the freezer to thaw for this days dinner and make sure I have all the fixin’s rounded up for the side dishes. Then double check that things around this house are picked up and good looking for our guest from Texas will be here later this day. Beanie and Cecil have appointments to visit the vet around 11 this morning and I will help Will gather Cecil into his travel crate, which he doesn’t like at all but it is necessary. Will said that once he gets him in the Jeep he stops his complaining and is quiet for the ride to the vet. I guess he just has to register his dislike of the crate. Maybe he just doesn’t like the color of the crate ~ it is dark pink on the bottom and light pink on the top and girlie looking and he is all male. :lol: Will said it was the only color Wal*Mart had when he went to buy one. OH, I just remembered cats are color blind so it is said. DONNA FAYE It is always best to stipulate "special" things in a will and it sounds like that is what you have done. Since there are things to go to lots of folks they are all listed and my brother has sent the items out. It is all listed in the will who gets what they had asked my folks for earlier. Plus my family all gets along with each other. I hope that peddal machine works well with you. I have seen them advertized and they look easy enough to use from a sitting position. You will get some good exercise from using it. Have a wonderful day Magnolias :wave: |
Good morning to you all. Well, the post office has done it again! I ordered contact lenses, they were shipped through the UPS/post office agreement. Well, I went on Saturday and looked it up and it didn't show it was being delivered so I thought it would be delivered yesterday but it wasn't. I went back into my saved file and looked it up and it said it was delivered on Saturday, but there were no contacts Saturday, nor were there any yesterday. I contacted both the post office and vision direct where I buy my contacts. The post office is ignoring me of course, but vision direct answered my email about 15 minutes after I sent it saying they would replace them for free and send them 3 day so I would get them soon. They just told me to return to sender if I ever got the box. It's nice that a private company at least cares.
I am trying to clean the house today and doing pretty good. I only have dusting and the kitchen countertops and then tomorrow is mopping day. Maggie: It is chilly here today again, but towards the end of the week it is going to be in the 70's, yahoo and sunny too! Sorry the scale stalled, but every week is another week to get it off. The little stationary pedalers are used a lot for rehab and such and I think they will work just fine for me so I can get some cardio and toning and such in. I guess I better get going and get some more work done. Have a great day. Faye |
Good Evening, Flowers! I am on my way to bed so this will be short and sweet. I went to church to count this morning and we were $100 off. Went through everything a second time; lots of different "pots" of money with Lent, fund raisers, memorials, interest checks coming in, etc., so my part took longer after we finally found the mistake in the cash miscount. This afternoon I finished the afghan and took it to have it blocked. Tomorrow is my lunch bunch, Thursday is planning/shopping food day for card club and crafty club next week; also going to give taking Sonny to the vet a second try, and Friday we go to Sioux City. Bob has to take a class and I'm going to shop. Hopefully we will meet Beth and family for supper somewhere. Saturday is clean, clean,and more clean!
"Gma" -- Hope you have your contacts by now. :yes: Did you ever get your stamps that you ordered? I hope the pedal machine arrives when it should. Maggie -- I hope you are having a good visit with your Texas friend. You will have the scale going in the right direction next week! I'm sorry about your mother's death, :hug: but so glad you get the pitcher that has good memories associated with it. Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow and enjoy! :wave: |
Good morning all. It is chilly again this morning but supposed to warm up and in the next couple days be in the 70's which I am not going to gripe about. I think I may get to wear capris and sandals to the doctor's on Friday.
Jay called this morning about getting baseball tickets for he and his dad when we go up there in June and said it was snowing again. I guess all is well with the kid up north. Kelly is better down here too, which is good. I am going to mop floors today and I have a load of laundry in the dryer. We are having chilimac for dinner tonight so that is a quick and easy thing to make. I need to get back to working on the sweater as I haven't worked on it in about a week. I have been reading a lot instead. Jean: My contacts will be here tomorrow by UPS not postal so at least I should get them. We haven't had anyone to steal anything from our mailbox since those bratty kids that used to throw food on the deck lived here and used to get into the mailboxes and mix the mail all up. I am positive they were never delivered. I mean first off, who would want to steal contact lenses? It isn't like you could use them. Mine are bifocal for one thing so no one young would use them anyway. We have a very lazy postal worker who has here ear to her phone the whole time she is delivering and doesn't give a fig newton whether or not you get your mail. I did finally get my stamps, but the package was completely torn to bits with big gaps in it and I am surprised the stamps didn't just fall out. Lesson learned about that, go get them at the post office. Wow, I bet it was a bit of a panic when you were off $100. Glad you were able to find the error. Hope you have a good time in Sioux City this weekend. We have commissary this weekend, ugh! Well girls, I need to go and get work done this morning. I hope you have a nice day. Faye |
Good Afternoon, Flowers! The sun is shining, a slight breeze, and a chilly day in my corner of the world. The sun has power as the snow is melting into the streets. It will freeze tonight and be slippery in the morning. I went to lunch with the bunch, six of us, and we watched the pope news on the tvs that are mounted all around the bar area which is up a level but open to the eating area. I have laundry going and will leave for bell practice about 4:30.
"Gma" -- Tell Jay I am glad to share our snow with him! ;) Beth's afghan is done and getting blocked today. I will deliver it on Friday! I had saved the labels from the afghan I made for her when she was in high school and that yarn is still available according to my web search. I'm going to see if I can find it in SC on Friday, and if so will start on Will's afghan before it gets too warm. It's actually easier to find an even amount when we are off with our church counting. It's usually a case of writing down the wrong amount when filling out the envelope vs. the check, or in counting the bills which can stick together. We got mail belonging to the couple two doors away from us yesterday. The kicker is that their street goes the other direction and isn't even close to resembling our street name. I think the "idiot" must have delivered yesterday rather than our regular guy. :hyper: I need to change clothes and keep moving. Enjoy the rest of your day and evening! :wave: |
Good morning girls. It is still chilly in the mornings but has been warming up as the day goes along. Tomorrow it is supposed to be spectacular, which is great since I have to be out and about tomorrow.
I am going to shave my arms and legs and dye my hair today before I go to the doctor tomorrow. Then sit and read. I actually got the latest Janet Evanovich's book at the library online site, which is amazing so am reading it at the present. People were griping about the romance part being slim,but I read it for the humor and it is always enjoyable. My daughter got asked out on a date by the BBQ food truck guy at lunch yesterday. She told him she was married but thank you and he told her to tell Tom he better watch out as he had food truck competition. My warped son told Tom he should put Kelly out for dates with the guy then she would be bringing free BBQ home all the time! :lol: She posted on FB this morning that the guy was a player and was always asking girls out. She said she was so disappointed no free bbq! :D Jean: As long as you guys keep your darn snow up there I am ok with it. I often wonder why they always pick old guys for the Pope. I mean this guy is something like 76 years old. I know they want someone above the others and by the time you reach cardinal status you would be a senior, but why not 55 or 60 at least he would last for awhile. It really didn't take long. If I remember right and it was a long time ago and I was a kid, when Pope John XXIII passed away it took a long time to pick someone else. I remember the black smoke over and over again before the white. When my sister and I were kids we went to the movie "Shoes of the Fisherman." I have no idea why as we are not Catholic, had never even been in a Catholic church. I am not sure we understood the movie. I will have to ask her if she remembers going to it. I believe Anthony Quinn played the cardinal who became Pope. He was in a Russian Gulag I think. That was a long time ago for sure around 1968 or so. You should take a picture of it and post it. I would love to see it. Hope you find the yarn for the other one. Well girls, I need to get out of here and unload and reload the dishwasher. I put a roast, carrots and potatoes in the crockpot for dinner and should check on it. Have a great Thursday all!!! |
Good Morning, Flowers! The sun is shining brightly, the wind is blowing, and it "feels like" 20 degrees outside. I feel like such a traitor! :( It has taken me weeks to get Sonny to trust me so I could pick him up first thing in the morning. This morning I shoved him into the crate after scratching his ears and loving him. He is now at the vet's and hopefully in surgery! I can pick him up after 3:30 if all goes well. I need to pick up the livingroom and kitchen, wash two winter jackets headed for the SOS store, and make a list for Sioux City shopping tomorrow. Beth is going to work a short day and meet me at 1:00. We don't get together, one on one, very often so I'm looking forward to it!
"Gma" -- One of the pope candidates was a priest from Sioux City, and a very popular one while he was there. He is quite a bit younger, I think, but was hoping maybe he would be elected. I agree with you on the age part. I went to see The Nun's Story, as a kid, then wanted to be a nun for a long time afterwards. I had no clue about anything Catholic let alone being a nun. That is too funny about Kelly, the bbq guy, and Jay's comment. :lol: I need to get busy and start on my "to do" list for company next week. I did get my stuff in the curio cabinet washed; hope it still sparkles next week! :crossed: Have a terrific Thursday and enjoy! :wave: |
♪ ♥♫ GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS☺♫ It is a sunny day here in the ♥-Land and in the 60’s somewhere all day so they say. Our guest left to go home this morning and all is well in this household. The animals are sleeping and Will is at the museum and here I sit. I just put a piece of lean meat into the crock pot with seasonings on the top and a tad bit of water In the bottom and will fix some kind of veggies for dinner. I ate 4 soda crackers and a piece of cheese for lunch not because I was hungry but had to eat something to take my meds. After I finish here I am going to get back and do some of my walking routine for I have been slack on that for some days. It doesn’t do me any good to not do it. The animals went to the vet for follow up shots and check-ups this week. Their weights are as follows: Ragg Mopp ~ 22 pounds Beanie ~ 16 pounds Cecil ~ 12 pounds JEAN Sonny may come back to where he was before you stuck him in the crate. They have a short memory about things of that for wanting to be petted overpowers those negative feelings of the crate. Sounds like you have a busy day planned this day. Have a great time. DONNA FAYE What a hoot that the food truck guy asked your daughter out ~ not that she isn't someone that would be asked out but that he is known as such a player. I don't have any hair on my arms to shave nor on my legs for that matter so it gave me a chuckle about your shaving your arms, I could just imagine . . . . Have a lovely afternoon Magnolias ~ :wave: I am off to go walking. |
Good morning girls! It is going to be 75 here today and sunny! :carrot::carrot::carrot: Out comes the sandals and capris for at least today.
Quick post as I have my dr appt this morning to have the biopsy done. I told Jack this morning the doctor has seen me naked more than he has lately! :lol: When this is done, no more doctors for awhile unless I would get sick. Maggie: I have sparse body hair also, none on my arms and it takes weeks for it to grow out on my legs and underarms, but since it is a doctor visit, I want to make sure I am nice and neat so to speak. Wow Ragg Mopp is a big ole doggie! Fortune weighs 11 lbs I think and that doesn't really please my vet, but heck he is 14 years old, I can feel his ribs, which is what they say to gauge dogs healthy weight by so phooey on him. I am just glad it has been quite awhile now since he was sick last. He seems to enjoy the food he is on, which is always good, but he is pretty finicky. Jean: Hope you have a nice time with Beth and shopping and such. I think we decided to get together on Saturday instead of Easter and have breakfast together. They are going to Boston the end of next week so I am just going to give Thomas money to take instead of Easter candy and such. We have this great little cafe here called Cafe Eclectic. It has unusually breakfast items like steel cut oats and other things, my favorite is the Nutella stuffed french toast with strawberries. It is delicious. They have a nice small bakery too and Jack likes their cinnamon rolls so I imagine that is where we will go for breakfast with the kids. My son is quite the jokster, along with his bil. Those two get together and forget it you are going to get punked in some way. We do laugh a lot when he is down here I have to say. Well, I need to go and get showered and dressed and such. I just want to get this over and done with and be done with drs for awhile at least. Have a wonderful weekend. We have commissary this weekend oh joy! :^: Faye |
Good morning, ladies! Only 31 degrees right now! I hope it gets into the 50s so Casper and I can go for a walk today.
I had a nice long post going yesterday, stopped for a minute to look up a phone number for my friend, and then shut the computer off without finishing the post. LOL I wanted to clarify how the Pope is chosen. This isn't an election like a presidential election or something like that. The Pope is chosen by God and the cardinals are supposed to meditate and pray so they see God's will on how to vote. Since it only took 5 ballots and Pope Francis wasn't even one the press was mentioning, it looks like the Cardinals listened. We elected a young president with insufficient business and political experience and look what we have now. The Pope also needs lots of experience in matters of faith and running the Church. This is the 263 successor of Saint Peter who we consider to be the first Pope appointed by Jesus. There have been good Popes and bad Popes because a they are men with free will just like all of us. I was reading my AARP bulletin today and they were talking about our appalling death rate compared to other countries. We spend the most on health care but don't exercise (sit too much and drive everywhere) and eat junk so we die much earlier than our counterparts in Western Europe. The average age for men is 75 and 80 for women. Faye, I eat steel cut oats a lot and would chose that if I could get it with nuts and berries. I don't think there is a restaurant in this area that serves it. I cook up a big batch in the crockpot overnight and then reheat it a serving at a time during the week. I hope everything goes well at the docs. Jean, is Sonny home again and on the mend? I think Casper must be a little nuts because he doesn't mind getting in his carrier. His vet gives him a treat when she's done. He also loves getting in his stroller and will sit in it even when we aren't going out. He's got it in his head that 6:40 am is the time we need to get up everyday (that's when I do get up for work) and there is no containing him. He comes and pats my face until I look at him, then he jumps down and runs into the bathroom. If I put him out of the bedroom and close the door, he pounds on it and cries. So I get up. Maggie, I finished "Sugar, Salt and Fat" and am about a third of the way through "Pandora's Lunchbox." One thing I learned is that 90% of the world's supply of vitamins comes from China. Vitamin D is made from the lanolin of sheep. We now have over 5,000 additives that can be put into our food. The FDA is pretty much in the pocket of the food manufacturer's so it's almost impossible to pass laws making food more healthy. As for me, I am embracing clean eating. If it has more than 5 ingredients, I'm not eating it. I'm not eating anything I can't pronounce or buy at the grocery store. I'm buying grass feed beef and organic produce. I might not be able to buy as much, but that would be okay because I might lose a few pounds. I'm buying a bicycle and using that to go to the Y (4 miles each way) and the grocery store for picking up a few items (1.5 miles each way). The first week in April I go to Baltimore for the initiation week of the research for the inflammation diet trials for COPD. They will tell us allowed foods, ways to prepare them, etc. and we'll be getting a special debit card that will pay up to $75 a week of our food costs and it will also send them a report on exactly what we purchased. Locally we'll have blood, urine and stool tests done every 2 weeks so they can determine something about what we are eating. We will continue with whatever medications for COPD we are on and have monthly pulmonary function tests to see if we stay the same, get worse, or improve. The whole thing is very interesting to me. If we stay in it for the full year, we'll get $1,500 at the end. I thought your dogs were smaller, more like Fortune. Casper it up to 11 pounds now. He was 7.5 last April when I got him. Have a wonderful day. |
Finally Friendly Friday
♪ ♥♫ GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS☺♫ It is currently 63ºs and going to get up into the low 80º before this day is over with. Sunny skies with a slight breeze ~ more like summer weather. I hope we have a spring and don’t hop right into the heat of summer again this year. It sure makes it rough on the garden if we don’t have a spring. Will has been out and about this morning and came in here and handed me what looks like a small garden rake which is about 8 inches in length and the metal rake tines are little ⅛ inch wide and there are 7 of them. What went through my mind was a rake to use on the inside potted plants. Ah but it is a telescoping back scratcher which extends to 3 feet in length. Sometimes I get an itch that I can’t reach right dab in the middle of my back ~ this will be a handy little tool to have. I need to figure out what to cook this day for we have plans on eating in most of the time after finding out some of the “stuff” about restaurant food. It certainly won’t be a chore for me for I do love to cook. :cp: DONNA FAYE I am so glad your Fortune is eating well and feeling so much better and not leaving you to clean up behind him so much. Yes the breed of dog we have are not as small as your little pooch is. Ragg Mopp is bigger than the usual but so was his father. Beanie has probably reached his top weight which is where most of the male Shih-Tzu dogs are. Cecil is a Manx and will maybe get a bit heavier for he is still growing and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up weighing more than Beanie. These aren’t exactly lap animals. :lol: But they sure are fun and give us many a laugh. They all have such different personalities. It is funny that my cat weighs more than your dog does. SUSAN I am currently reading my edition of Pandora’s Lunchbox and have had my ♥-broken :cry: while reading the ingredients put in my most favorite Subway® sandwich. It is the “Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki” sandwich for 10 points+ and I always thought it well worth the points until I read what it said in the book about it. It has 105 ingredients in it, 55 are dry, dusty substances that were added to the sandwich for a whole variety of reasons. The chicken contains 13, the glaze 12; the bread 22. If you make this sandwich at home with a basic chicken breast with fresh bread made with a minimal amount of ingredients, it would contain only a few of these things. I am still reading the Salt, Sugar, Fat book also and another book that is a hot one that is titled Miracles From The Vault “an anthology of underground cures” by Jenny Thompson ~ put out by the Health Sciences Institute. © Copyright 2013. I have the address where you can request a copy if you are interested in getting it also. That is really neat that you are going to get a bicycle and great exercise. I had one and just loved riding it ~ it was a yellow 10 speed Schwin but I had to sell it when I got drop foot. ~ so I walk and use hand weights and sweat to the oldies, etc. but I would have a bike if I could ride. That test sounds very interesting you are getting involved and I just know you will stick through it to the end and having that $1500 added to your account looks very good these days. Have a wonderful day Magnolias and a marvelous weekend. :wave: |
Good morning gals. It is lovely and mild and sunny this morning, what more could you ask? It was grand yesterday all sunny and warm. I opened the windows and the moon roof, cranked up sixties on six and acted like a teenager againg! :lol:
Went to the doctor's for the biospy yesterday. It ended up being more uncomfortable than the one I had several years ago in the dr's office. She took three samples, but oh my gosh, it was hilarious. First off, the nurse took me in, had me sign permission to do it, told me to strip bottom half get on the bed. Next, the door opens and in comes a lady doctor with the nurse, introduces herself and says she is gonna "assist" my doctor and out they both go again. Knock on door and in comes the nurse, the assisting doctor, and two very handsome young male doctors. We introduce, shake hands all around (don't have any idea what the two guys are there for, one is a medical student the other a resident) and out they all go again saying the dr will be in in a minute. A couple minutes pass, knock knock, in comes my doctor with the "troop" to begin. I get in position like you would for a pap smear, but she tells me the guys are there to hold my legs. They each take a leg and hold it up in the air and apart. I told them I felt like turkey at Thanksgiving and two kids both wanted the legs! :lol: So first, wrong speculum so down the legs go into the stirrups until the nurse goes and gets another one, then back into position and she has the wrong glove size, down again until they find proper gloves. It was like a bad vaudeville act, but I thought it was really funny except for the cramping afterwards. I was really miserable all day and evening. I am still just a bit uncomfortable but not like yesterday at all.
