Hi All,

Sheila, so sorry you don't feel well. Please get better soon.

Today was quite and slow at work. Everyone was winding down for the big holiday weekend I guess. A lot of people were off today, so that made the work load lighter.

Stopped at the dry cleaners and picked up my dress after work. Then went to Wal-Mart to pick up pictures I had dropped off earlier in the week to be developed. The pictures didn't turn out very well. I think it is because I had them in the camera for almost a year :o . Obviously I don't take very many pictures. I hope I remember to take the camera along tomorrow for the wedding. Daughter from Green Bay called this evening, she wants me to drive half way to Green Bay and meet her at the park and ride and pick her up and bring her back here so she can go to the ceremony. She wants to have SIL bring her down to the park and ride, then go back home, and get done what he wants to do around the yard, and then come later with the boys to the reception and then they will have only one car down here. I think that is really quite a commotion, just so they will have only one car here. This will cut into my time for getting ready for the wedding too. My life just isn't my own anymore :faint:

My computer at work is dying, it is running out of hard drive space. I really don't think he will get me another one for my office. I will have to go to other work stations if I need to get any letters out, or create any forms. There goes my sneaking out some time to get to 3Fatchicks :(

I am boycotting the Packer game, because they started out playing like dopes, so I guess I will just head to bed and maybe I'll read a little. I bought a "boddice ripper" by Patricia Rice when I was at Wal-Mart today.

Well have a good evening, whatever is left of it, and enjoy your holiday weekend.

Bluet Hello to Puss, Charlotte, and SunnyD......Sheila get well!!!!

Sheila53 09-05-2004 01:24 PM

Good morning, all!

I hope the wedding was fun, Bluet, despite all the trauma just getting there. Sounds like lots of extra driving for you. I can't believe your company won't buy you another computer if yours dies. I mean, how unproductive is it to have to wander around looking for a free work station to use?

Finally I woke up without a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. Yeah! I felt pretty lousy there for a while. Didn't comfort myself with food, though, so that's a big plus. I went with my DH down to the local mall area to go to Michael's and buy an easier cross stitch pattern. I used to be able to do more intricate designs, but I haven't done it in so long that I need something simple to start. I got a Winnie the Pooh design to make for my GD. We also stopped at Old Navy where I bought a pair of sz. 10 relaxed fit jeans that, yes, I can actually get on. They do have that "sprayed on" look so I won't be wearing them for another 10 lbs., but I wanted to see if I could fit in them. My sz. 12 jeans are getting too big, but I'm not quite into a 10, and I don't think junior sizes are my style.

College football season is starting, and my Dad and I watched a game yesterday afternoon, and probably will watch another one this afternoon. He watches a lot more football than I do--I stick with Pac 10 teams, but he'll watch any game that's on, plus any pro game that's on. It was really difficult for him to give up his season tickets to the Seahawks, and then the Univ. of Washington Huskies. Much more comfortable to watch on TV, however, and not have to worry about how to get to the men's room in time.

Hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend. If you live in Florida, well, I know you're not, but hang in there!

Angel-lover 09-06-2004 08:22 AM


Sheila... I DO hope you're feeling better, now. My son & two little granddaughters have it now. It's been a couple of rough days. I've been taking care of them, & trying to sort through & clean out my mother's & step-dad's things. What a job that is! He decided to go into the nursing home with my mother, suddenly. His sugar got dangerously high, & out of control.
Also, a lady that goes to our church, found her son in her front yard Saturday night. He was dead from a shot gun blast to the stomach. It was ruled suicide...but, none of us think so. Too hard to reach the trigger of the shotgun (it wasn't sawed off), & more like to shoot in the head, or at least in the chest. We believe he dropped it & it went off. He was drinking a lot. Such sad things to have to be around. He was only 31.
So, my life is non-stop work. At least I'm feeling stronger.
Get better soon, my friend.

Bluet...your life sounds a lot like mine. :^: Seems like other people are deciding what my days are going to be, instead of me getting to do it. :( I never get anything accomplished for myself, because I'm always busy. Try to get some pictures. Don't wait a year to show us. :lol:

I'm very tired, & got a long day ahead...so going to go eat a bite of breakfast, & get started.
Hope you all have a great Labor Day!

Fatpuss 09-06-2004 11:35 AM

Sorry for not being here girls and haven't had time to read posts - just a quickie before I leave for the airport to Spain. Had a lovely weekend with DD then nightmare time with mother culminating with another O/D, hospital etc etc (same tablets, not the other ones which really are lethal) and when my poor brother was expected round at her place. I didn't go racing up this time (two days before I leave for holiday) and she told my brother I couldn't be bothered to go up (250 miles each way when she was in no danger). I just can't win, every night on the phone for over an hour just isn't working.
Anyway girls, didn't want to vanish for 2 weeks without letting you know why. Think I will take up drinking!! Take care everyone.

Bluet 09-07-2004 09:58 AM

Good Morning.

I had to go out and delete some stuff on my hard drive this morning, before the computer would let me post. Money is short here, since I work with the money and know that, I can't feel justified in asking for a new computer. I did ask my son to check with a friend who fixes computers on a part-time basis, to see if he had something appropriate at a reasonable price. :(

I will get this message off to you girls, so you know I did not drop off the face of the earth yet. And then check in with you tonight when I am at home on my own computer.

The wedding was a disappointment for me. I really looked forward to the wedding, the church part went ok kinda. My sister said she wanted all of us to sit right behind her in church, since it was her sons wedding I wanted to do as she asked, so I drug my whole family up the center isle with my Mom and the usher leading, and then there wasn't room for all of us and we had to find other places to sit. Since the church was pretty full, I found this to be too embarassing, but we survived, I managed to find an almost empty pew about half way back that our whole family could fit into.

The church was at one and the sit down meal was at five. There were drinks and light buffet at the Holiday Inn, so we were all directed over there. I had wanted to go home for a while, but oldest DD wanted to go to the Inn, so we did. It turned out to be a warm humid day and even though the Inn is air conditioned it was obvious, it could not handle all the people that piled in there. As I said the meal was at 5:00, so our kids showed up with their kids just before 5:00, but the meal was delayed an hour and half. That created a problem for the grandchildren that were bored and hungry and getting rambunctious. I was the happiest when we decided we had stayed long enough and went home. I guess DH and I stayed until 10:00 p.m. By the time I left my dress with wringing wet with sweat, and my arms were worn out from taking turns holding the babies.

On Sunday after church, I just hung out at home and was too exhausted to start any projects. Yesterday I had some energy and changed pictures in the dining room and painted the wall were I changed the pictures. And that dear girls was my Labor Day Weekend.

Sheila hope you are feeling better, Charlotte, hope your roof was done for all the rain that headed your way from Frances. Talk to you all later.

Bluet

Sheila53 09-07-2004 04:30 PM

Good afternoon!

I do feel better, Charlotte. Just a little tired now--guess that's the residual effect or something. It feels so nice to swallow and not have my throat hurt. I hope your son and GDs get over it soon. Has school started for the grandkids? That was quite a fast decision by your stepdad. I hope he gets along okay here. I imagine he's used to it from visiting your mom there. What a horrible accident with your friend's son. I feel so sorry for her. My friend has lost two adult children, one to a boating accident, the other to e-coli (don't let them tell you only the young and elderly die), and the loss of a child, no matter the age, is a hard thing to get through.

Bluet, I hope you can find someone to fix your computer--I'd hate to see you have to cut back on your internet time. Bummer about the wedding! Why was the dinner delayed so long? I can't even imagine how hard it was for the kids to wait that long. Sounds like you got quite a bit done on Monday. Except for mowing the lawn (my DH did that) and some routine household stuff, we were pretty lazy and just hung out, and then explored a couple of neighborhoods in Seattle, just for fun. I love looking at old houses so we went to an area where there are a lot of really nice old houses to look at plus a park to play around in. On Sunday we went to the Farmer's Market and stocked up on some veggies. Don't need tomatoes, though, we've got an overabundance.

Also watched the football game with my Dad on Sunday. It was kind of sad because he said that he was in his room thinking about whether to take a jacket to the game, and if he'd need a blanket, then he decided to take his stadium cushion. Then he thought, gee, I don't have bus transportation lined up. At that point, he remembered that he hadn't had season tickets in three years because he's just too frail to make it there anymore. I felt bad for him plus a little disturbed that he forgot that. His memory is getting so bad at times. He also wondered why I put $35 on his desk. I said that I didn't, but he insisted I did. Why the heck would I give him $35? Anyway, he later said he remembered that he got a scratch lottery ticket and won $35. I hope if he wins the big one that he'll remember!

I was supposed to make the one hour trek across town to the doctor, but the insurance is having problems. The alternative care part of our policy is with a company that doesn't know which end is up. It's awful. This is the second appt. I've had to cancel. Hopefully we'll get it together for next week.

It's absolutely beautiful here--75 degrees, sunny, a hint of wind. Rain tomorrow so I'd better get outside and enjoy the weather.

Puss, I know you won't see this, but I hope you have a great time on your holiday!

Bluet 09-07-2004 08:54 PM

Good Evening,

Sheila, I am glad you are feeling better. It is really a little too early for the flu season to start. We always get a flu shot, and they are suppose to be later than ever getting stock this year. Insurance Companies Bah Humbug...Every year the rates go up and the benefits go down. Who has who over a barrel?

I believe the dinner was late because there were two weddings at the same time at Holiday Inn and they did not have the staff to handle preparing that much food. I think they took care of the wedding in the Atrium first because it was a "sit-down-buffet" and then started the food for our wedding which was just a plain old "sit-down" and the food wasn't done by 5:00 p.m. I can tell you, if I had any weddings to do yet it would not be at the Holiday Inn, unless it was in the winter and they quaranteed me that ours would be the only wedding that evening. :^: Even then I would have to think about it some. I did take some pictures of the children dancing, that I hope I can figure out how to share. At least the kids had a heck of a time dancing to the music played by a DJ.

Sheila, I love to look at old houses too, and I like living in an old house, except it is really too large for DH and me, but I am not moving until I have to. I have been here 40 years and I am not about to move now. I love to tour homes when they have parade of homes or open houses. Labor Day I had the TV on all day to HGTV, finally shut it off around 4:oo p.m., when I was full up with home improvements. Sorry about Dad, I don't want to think about it, then I start to cry, life is so hard at times.

Charlotte, sorry about your Stepdad and your neighbor lady. Hope your feeling o.k. and the grand daughters are doing better. I am glad the divorce turned out to everyones benefit. (well, what I mean is I am glad things turned out ok and wasn't a bitter court battle).

How about that Puss, running off to Spain again and for two weeks no less. Hope you have a good time Puss. A peaceful vacation right now sounds perfectly heavenly.

I probably won't get to use a computer till tomorrow evening when I get home. Take care Sheila and Charlotte. Wish you both the best Wednesday ever!!!!

:wave: Good Fall-ish Morning Bonnie, Sheila & Angel (I see Puss has left for her trip) :wave:

Joe was off yesterday and we putts around the yard all day weeding & went grocery shopping - I went to Curves yesterday (35 min) and walked 1 mile and did 30 min. of stretching... it sure did feel good after being so ill for two weeks to get back into my exercise routine --- I really missed it! I am feeling really well :D again - what a nice feeling :flow2: I will try to get in 1 - 2 miles sometime this morning - slow walking.

Joe & I didn't go anywhere on Saturday - we had allot to do here at home, but we went to church on Sunday early and we picked up Aaron (our nephew) who was all by himself at his house (his family had left already for the Islands, he had a wedding to go to) & then we all went to Kelly's Island near Sandusky, Ohio for the day with Joe's family... what a beautiful day :sunny: !!!! We got there about 1:30pm & when we landed on the Island ~ John (Joe's brother) was there waiting for us & we were taken on a tour of the Island on a golf cart... I have never been on one of those before and I love it (I want one!). We sat on the back and were able to see such awesome views of homes, cottages, gardens, ships, boats and more boats and what a beautiful the shore line... it felt like an amusement park ride. The weather was warm with a cool breeze, with the sound of the water coming up on the shore, sunshine with a few white clouds - just a wonderful day! We took a ferry to the Island (20 min ride) and that in itself was a nice ride! And we did allot of walking too, but I forgot my pedometer so I haven't any idea how much I walked. When we got off the ferry @ 9pm for home we just had just enough energy left to walk to the car & even less when we got home at 11pm, but what a great feeling and wonderful memories. No pictures... forgot my camera again! :dizzy: We had to take mental pictures instead. Then on Monday-Labor Day we went to the Fair in Burton. Oh... another beautiful day :flow1: ! We got there at 11am and left at 5pm and that's where we walked and walked - my pedometer read 4.5miles - I was a happy camper... :) we had a wonderful weekend! It feels so good to feel well again... I think I have figured out this food program. I planned for the days out and brought my snacks and fruits and plenty of water and did real well. I did not buy any bad foods at the fair and was soooo proud of myself.

Those poor Florida dwellers... they are waiting out another Hurricane (Ivan). They were told not to take down the boards on their homes till they were given the okay, because hurricane Ivan could hit them. I am sure that you all are watching the Weather Channel like we are. My my my... I sure wouldn't want to be in Florida. My thoughts & prayers are with them all for sure. And now they are getting hard hit in Georgia, and the Carolina's and heading up to us right now soon to be up by you guys too. The rain began here this morning at 4am - that's what woke me up.


*~*~*

Bluet ~ I too think my Joe is wonderful --- he was just so supportive while we were away from home making sure I was feeling okay and provided for before he went off anywhere. I am truly blessed without a doubt.

Did you have a good time at you nephews Wedding on Saturday? I don't buy new dresses either - I rarely wear a dress anymore, so if they remember me in it too bad ;) I don't follow trends... I follow my pocket-book :D Good for you. I just read that you had a hard time getting to the wedding & that it wasn't all you hoped it would be - I am sorry.

Bonnie, you may call it a *nervous stomach* but you sure do sound like you may have IBS. There are different intensities of discomfort from person to person... but if you are going to the bathroom all the time it sure sounds like it's a possibility. According to the reports more people walk around with IBS never even knowing it and just coping when there is a way of eating to really help. Yes, it means sacrifice, but I rather feel well then ill any day, ya know.

Below is some information that causes flare ups that I copied from the site:

Common Pitfalls ~ The Seven Sneaky Deadly Sins of the IBS Diet

"I'm following the Eating for IBS diet, but I still have problems. What am I doing wrong?"

I hear from many people who have made a great effort to modify their diet for IBS, but who still have abdominal symptoms they feel certain are associated with their eating habits. They're often very frustrated because they believe that there aren't any steps left for them to take. The good news here is that it's much more likely than not that there are still dietary triggers involved, they're simply being overlooked.

I've found that there are seven specific pitfalls that ensnare many people as they adjust their diet - let's call them the Seven Sneaky Deadly Sins of the IBS Diet:

1. Coffee (yes, decaf counts)
2. Yogurt (it's the safest dairy product for IBS...isn't it?)
3. Alcohol (just one glass of wine is okay, right?)
4. Vitamin supplements (they're good for you, aren't they?)
5. No insoluble fiber foods (they're triggers, so you just don't eat them, right?)
6. Too low a dosage of soluble fiber supplements
7. Not drinking enough water (doesn't soda pop count?)


Here is the LINK to the SITE to read further information if you'd like--->

Did you change the curtains in your family room like you were thinking of? How did it come out? Change is always so refreshing!

I sure do hope we don't lose :o you because your computer has died :( I have enjoyed this thread coming alive again thanks to you ;) Come back soon!!!!!


Sheila ~ I am so very sorry to hear that you haven't felt well, but am glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better today. Those bugs sure do take allot out of you don't they :( Praying for your continued recovery {{{Hugs}}}

As for your sleep... you having problems still? Maybe you need to watch any stimulants like sugar or caffeine? They will put you to sleep right away and then in a few hours you will be fully awake. Try some decaf sleepy-time tea (no sugar or honey) - it just may help you. Especially if you are going though some changes in your body. I remember that my mom had a hard time sleeping when she was going through her changes and the tea really helped her.

You have some Beautiful gardens Sheila! I really enjoyed your pictures!!

W :o W!!! 77 lbs DOWN!!!! Just Awesome!!!!!!!!! :cp: I am so happy for you :dance: Good job!!


Angel ~ Thank you so much! I am feeling so much better --- it's such a good feeling :) I DO hope that you are feeling better also :^: I believe you were having a bad spell there too.

I will continue to hold you and your family in my prayers, Charlotte... it just must be so difficult sometimes. No, I didn't know that your son's trial came & went... I am so happy to hear that your DIL conceded to joint custody and that all is calming down. So good for the children! I had a feeling that once they ironed out their differences all would be calmer, lets just pray that it continues that way so that the children will have a good life.

*Keep Positive*
and
*God Bless*

Hi Gals, how are you all doin?

My son Joe found a computer suitable for my needs at work today on Ebay. He is gong to come to work with me one evening and set it up and get it going for me. So in about a week I will have a computer again, without breaking the owners bank ;) .

Charlotte and Sheila, I hope you are both o.k. neither of you posted today, so of course I have to do my worry thing. :^:

We are having some beautiful fall weather, we got lucky for a change and are on the back side of the front that is coming up from Florida, which has stalled and is keeping the good weather here. After the summer we had I guess we are deserving.

Grandson next door had his birthday yesterday, he turned 8. He had a whole bunch of boys to a party at a park near his school. They played games, ordered pizza and had a Dale Earnhardt Jr cake. All the balloons were orange and red and yellow his favorite colors. It was just fun watching the kids have a good time. Then I went to Day Care and picked up the baby and brought her home and fed her and we played on the family room floor until SIL picked her up.

SunnyD, it is so nice to hear from you. Glad to hear you are feeling better. You really got to do some nice and fun things over the Labor Day Holiday. Yes, I do have some IBS, but I am very careful about what I eat. Thank you for the link, I look forward to spending some time reading up on it. I surely hope you have found solutions for yourself. :)

I think I am going to read for a little while before bed, I am almost 3/4's of the way through the book I bought. Take care, hope you all had a good day and the rest of the evening. I'll be back tomorrow evening.

Angel-lover 09-08-2004 10:33 PM

Hi Everybody.... Hope all are well tonight. Sunny...it was good to hear from you. Glad you're feeling better. I know you're glad to get the roof finished on your house. What's the next project? Bluet...I like old houses, too. That's why we liked this house so much. It's one of the oldest in this small community. It's called the "Petree Place". Seems Mr & Mrs Petree owned a lot of Belgreen community. This house is where they lived. It started off small & was added on to. Everyone in the community was thrilled we were remodeling & bringing it back to "life", when the fire happened. Well...we've tried, but looks like we may be defeated. The roof is still not even half way....it shifted & DH is up there alone every evening trying, but can't manage it. I'm afraid he's killing himself. We're out of money after the roof is finished, so may have to resign myself to living in a "gutted out" house.
I'm just so tired of it all. I'm tired of the fight in courts, etc...with money....with trying to live clean in a "under construction" place. Excuse me...it just comes out sometimes. I'm ok....just a long week. Sorry the wedding was a disappointment. It sure lasted a long time, didn't it? Should be a day for the couple to remember. :D Sheila...sorry you've been sick. Hope you are better. Listen....your dad's symptoms do NOT sound like Alziemer's! Yes, there's a problem. But, that's not the way Alziemer's progresses. It's more like...they can't recall the name of something they're trying to say. Like mother would point to the stove & say "that thing....you know what it is" & would kind of laugh. Slowly, but, surely it progressed, until she wouldn't know what the stove was even used for. I do wish you'd have him check by someone else. If it's not Alziemer's, then that medicine will hurt him, instead of help him. Has he had an MRI? Nothing you've said, sounds like my mother, or a few other people I know with A. Fatpuss...have a good time, & when you return, tell us all about your trip.

Sheila53 09-09-2004 11:38 AM

Hi,

Just a quick note before I leave for a weekend in Boise where I may get to see my granddaughter for two hours or less. :(

Charlotte, I'm not happy with this neurologist at all. She upped the dosage on a medication (not Arricept) when my Dad got the prescription refilled and last night I couldn't even understand what he was saying. He was also weak and shaky. I thought he was having a stroke, but he wouldn't go to the hospital. She didn't really say that he had Alzheimer's, but he has some dementia changes that may be associated with early Alzheimer's. The Arricept is to prevent further memory loss. Does that sound reasonable? I don't know enough about the drug to know whether it's only for people with fully documented Alzheimer's. She said she'd done bloodwork and tests to rule out other things.

Anyway, gotta get going! Have a great weekend everyone!

SunnyD57 09-09-2004 12:12 PM

Good Morning Ladies!
All is still going well with me :D Another good day so far...

Bluet ~ I am just thrilled that your DS was able to get you another computer... I know I haven't been on much, but I do read ~all~ the posts the best I can when they come through. With this IBS I am not able to sit very long at all and it takes time to get posts read & written and that can get ouchy!! I belong to 3 threads and so hate to leave any of them (all such lovely people!), so I do my very best in keeping up with the limited amount of time I have sitting. I don't know why, but I felt the need to share that ;) :lol: It wasn't anything you said... I just wanted to let you all in on why I don't post everyday I guess :^:

:hb: Happy 8th Birthday to your DGS! Sounds like he had a great, fun party!!! What book are you reading????

Your weather sounds like what we had last week! This week we had allot of rain from the left-overs of the hurricane... most of it has passed through but we are still dealing with high winds and an overcast sky. We are suppose to have some awesome weather tomorrow and on Saturday -- yeah :cp:

Tomorrow night Joe & I are going to a couples Bible Study and then on Saturday morning out to breakfast with our friends and grocery shopping and then that evening we are going out with the same friends for dinner to celebrate their anniversary. It's tough... but someone has to do it :lol: So far :crossed: it is quiet for Sunday.


Angel ~ Nope... no special projects at the moment. Havta get that roof paid for first; then we may begin the next one. Which is still undecided, but we have tons to get done! Where to go from here :o

Hey... ... ... you gals love 'old homes' ~ do you ever watch "IF WALLS COULD TALK" on HGTV??? It is a wonderful show!!! I would give anything to have the $$$ to rebuild one of those homes and live in it... what a feeling of accomplishment that would be. We barely have the $ to get what we need done. I see that you are still dealing with home problems and $$$ too, Charlotte. So very sad that things did not work out for you as we all hope and prayed it would :( I can only imagine the frustration you must be feeling to live unfinished...


Sheila ~ Hope that you are feeling well enough now for this trip and that all goes well for you in Boise and that you have the best time with the 2 hours you will have with your DGD :^:

As for your father... I sure do hope that the Dr's will be able to help him soon. I wish I knew more about the problem so I could help, but alas all I can offer you is my {{{Hugs}}} and understanding. I do hope that upping the dosage does help him :(

Time for me to get a bite to eat :)
Luvs,

Bluet 09-09-2004 11:03 PM

Hello

Sheila, enjoy your Boise weekend. I hope your get to see your grand daughter, and for more than two hours. We will be here when you get back.

SunnyD, so good to see your post. It doesn't matter that you can't post every hour on the hour, it is just really grand that we hear from you and we know that you are doing fine and enjoying life the way you do and share with us. :bubbles:

Charlotte, yes these old houses cost a lot of money and need constant care. But, there is just something special about owning an older home. So Ivan is headed for Florida now, it seems almost unbelieveable that this could be happening to Florida again. On the news today they said people are having a hard time getting out of Florida because of all the rain and washed out highways. What a shame.

Charlotte, my plan is to save for a year and remodel the kitchen, it is one room we have not done too much with, except paint and change the floor covering from time to time. My immediate plan for the weekend is to clean up all the flower gardens before it gets too cold to work outdoors.

Well, I will check back tomorrow evening, I sure miss my computer at work.
It should be here next week.

Take care all....

Angel-lover 09-09-2004 11:37 PM


Today was a little better. :) My sister & I met at the appt, again, & did some more packing & cleaning. Only difference, we listened to our bodies, & stopped to rest often, & quit early. I was still tired....but, not exhausted. Started supper, then got a call from my brother-in-law. I had forgotten to meet with him at an Assisted Living Home to sing. I changed clothes, gathered some songs....rushed out telling poor DH he had to finish his supper. :^: The people there are so sweet. They didn't want us to stop singing, although we could tell they were getting tired. I was ready to drop! They were excited because they see me on TV each day...
That's so funny to me! I mean, I'm really not anybody special. But, when someone recognizes me in town, they have to stop me & tell me they watch the programming. It IS fun, though, & so glad to have found a place like that to volunteer my time. Anyway, getting back to the evening...I couldn't wait to get home, I was starving! Found DH had finished supper. REALLY finished supper!! Nothing left! I just snacked around until I got full. :lol:

Sheila...I don't know if the Arricept will help, or not. I just know what my sister-in-law found out on her trip that week. My father-in-law is doing so much better without it. Now, the dr said he DID have some kind of a memory problem, but it wasn't Alziemer's...& that if he didn't have Alziemer's that the Arricept wasn't needed. I'm not sure what to tell you...but, I'd sure get him to another Dr. for a second opinion. Sometimes if Drs don't know what's wrong, they'll just take it for granted it's the most popular thing. So sorry. I pray you find the answer.

Sunny...I understand you not being able to stay at the computer for very long. Although you do such a great job posting with such personal comments to everyone. I get to where I can't sit at the computer because of my back hurting, or my legs swelling, or mainly, my wrists hurting. Just do what you can. We'll wait anxiously!! :D

Charlotte the graphics in your posts are just too adorable. I really enjoy your posts.

My computer came in today and DS loaded all the software on it. I stopped over after work to bring Word 2000 for him to put on the computer and played with GD, for awhile. She was very happy to see me, because we danced a lot at the wedding together. She is only sixteens months, but she has been walking since she was nine months. She is so tiny and adorable, you just have to love her.

It is so kind of you to volunteer your talent and your time at the nursing home, and I am sure it is an honor to have people stop you when they recognize you from the show. I think it is pretty neat too that I know you and share posts with you.

I started early in the gardens this evening, couldn't resist, they are getting so shabby looking. I will finish up tomorrow, but first I have to meet DS at my work place at 8:00 a.m. so he can install my computer.

Have a good Saturday Charlotte, SunnyD, Sheila in Boise, and Puss in Spain.
