Good morning Jackie

Kelly

Good morning everyone..

Looking to be a lovely day here, soon I shall have laundry blowing on the line!

Lloyd, I can understand why Nancy is on cloud 9. Two babies one for each of you to hug.

Hal, prayers that the results from all this will be good.

Jackie, good morning..

Kelly good morning .

Joan thank you for breakfast..

I had better get a move on.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Hi Hal
Sorry I missed seeing your post yesterday. 

What a long time for you at the hospital.  I hope that you find out the scan results as soon as possible.

Rest as much as you can after a very tiring day.

Thinking of you.

Kevin

Good morning Amy

Kelly

Good morning, Lloyd.  We still have not gotten any rain.

Good morning, Kelly.

Vanilla-Jackie--Good morning.  This year sure is speeding by.  Nice that you could at least have a short walk.  There's plenty of seats on the PWP and plenty of berries.

Good morning, Amy.  You sure get your laundry out on the line early.  Here it's just getting light, and soon the sun will be out.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's only 43º here this morning and only going up into low 60s today.  But I guess I can wait for the really hot weather.  I'll have a brief respite in Texas in about 2 weeks.  Maybe I'll even get a swim in the pool!

Hal, we'll all wait with you on pins and needles until you have the results of your tests.  We will also be praying for good results.

Amy, I can almost smell the freshness of the laundry from the clothesline.  I don't have any outside lines to hang anything but I often lay my bed pillows on the swing in the yard to freshen them and it smells so good when I go to bed.

I feel rested this morning and my plan for the day is to shorten 2 pairs of pants and iron some shorts for my trip.  Not a huge order but tomorrow afternoon will be busier and Monday will be even busier.  So this will be my day of rest. 

And I'm off to feed the doggies and get started on "things"!

NOTE: I've sent the rain somewhere!  Now it's up to all you who need it to look up and ask it to come down. 

Hi Joan
Some sunshine here and at 12.10pm it is 46F.

Is it warmer where you live at I think 7.10am.

Kelly

Good morning, Janie.  I'll be out to nab that rain you are sending.  You deserve a day of rest--busy days ahead.

Hi everyone as another Saturday is upon us.  We are once again to get to 90 degrees or above with only a 20% chance of any showers today.  I have been awake since 4 am this morning and about 6 am I picked up my phone and read my email and the discussion boards before getting up and dressed for the day. 

I plan on making a quick trip to Lowe's for a tomato stake and a stop at the cleaner's to pick up a sports coat I left there a couple of weeks ago.  I should get a haircut but think I will wait until next week sometime.  I hope to get some reading done today as well. 

Yesterday we didn't get out of the doctor's office from the 9:45 appointment until a few minutes before 11 am.  We then went to Office Depot as Pat had a new quilting book she wanted fixed with a spiral binder and then tried to find Harbor Freight and JoAnn's Fabrics, which are at the same location, but the GPS led us onto a one lane road that was a dead end.  We gave up the search and headed back home but stopped at Texas Roadhouse for a good meal and Pat didn't have to cook last evening. 

Joan, Pat's labs were good but the doctor has now ordered a chest x-ray and wants to see her again next Friday.  The Food for Thought today (Being Modest) is certainly a good one.

Jackie, it is hard to understand how having a hereditary condition like MS has anything to do with selfishness.  If you take that idea to a logical conclusion, assuming you had known this might be a possibility, you perhaps would not have had a daughter and thus not a grandson.  Family situation are often difficult.

Amy, I think you have probably come up with the best idea as to what happened to Jeanne's bottle of oil that is missing. 

JaneS, I got a picture of my oldest great grandchild, a young man of 13 who is already 5'10" tall.  He is now taller than I am. 

Jenny, I didn't realize you could put a hold on credit cards.  That was sure a lot better than having them cancelled and going through the hassle of a new card number.  Glad you got your purse back and all was well.  I saw on the news last night pictures of your snow in Colorado. 

Hal, glad that testing is over and what a long day.  I had a nuclear test several years ago where I had to keep my arms above my head for about 45 minutes and it sure wasn't fun and the table wasn't comfortable.  When I had the seeding done on the prostate cancer I went home with a strainer and also was told to stay away from small children for several days. 

Good Morning Everyone!

Well got a decent nights rest, it stormed, well thundered, during the night but it didn't really bother me, I just turned over and back to sleep. Things are drippy out. I put the recycle bin out.  The gate to my backyard refuses to close, it is swollen with the rain.  So it looks like I have barricaded myself in.  Stuffed stacked at the bottom to keep the dogs in.  Oh for the services of a good handyman.  Cant find anyone to do small jobs.

Janie, I am afraid you will have plenty of warmth when you come down this way.  Although with all the wet weather things have been pretty cool.  Only one 90 degree day that I can recall.

Amy, you are a ball of fire.  You never sit still it seems.  Up before daylight and doing the washing.  Many years ago when in Ottawa and with three little ones, two in diapers, I can remember hanging out diapers in freezing weather and them getting stiff as a board, but did dry.   And the smelled good.  I wonder what ever happen to all those diapers.  We had a ton of them.

Thanks to all of you for keeping me in your prayers.  It is comforting to know.
Joanie, what have you got on tap for today?  I am not doing much.  My middle daughter is here from Del Rio this weekend and everyone is coming over Sunday for dinner, wife is fixing ribs.......yummmy.

Good Morning Kelly.  Hope your day is going well.

Jackie, know that your MS makes life difficult, to say the least, but stick to what exercise you can manage.  Take your walker out with you.  If you get tired then you can rest with it handy.  Dogs may have to be retrained some to learn what they can do when you are on the walker with them.

June, you are snoozing away there on the left coast.  I see some of the folks are giving Trump a warm welcome......   Never saw so many Mexican flags in my life.  If they love that country so much why are they up here flying their flag?

Well coffee is ready, who wants a cup.  I'll meet you on the patio and bring the pot out.

Coffee cup in hand!

Hi Hal
Good to read your post.

Do you get much in the way of rain?

Not a good day pain wise for me, but we carry on as best we can.

Kelly

Well if its not one thing its another........Yesterday my top of right leg, groin area was going ten to the dozen, more than usual since over the past year or so.... so I phoned an MS Nurse, a Nurse I have'nt actually got yet,....One phoned back and asked me to describe in detail,... I told her, " here we go again..." she didn't like that......I told her of spasm'ing, "she told me to use my words litely.....then went on to explain this and that as she went on to say she knows fully well of leg spasming....I quick as a flash said..." why do you have MS as well? " she said NO, but I do have blah blah blah? I rest my case....

She did tell me to ring my GP and ask for a referral to Musculoskeletal....so another to add to my medical portfolio....

Although she did say one encouraging statement....my leg problem could be to do with my neck...I told her, strange thing when washing my hair over a sink or a bath, I have to position my leg....and I always thought this was to do when I bend my head down but, now I know its from the neck being tilted so...I do believe there is a connection, re, the nerve....


Jackie xx

Good morning, Larry.  Our temp is to be about like yours, but still no rain.  Too bad your GPS couldn't find the places you were looking for yesterday.

halkel--Good morning.  I just got done putting groceries away, and that's about it for today.  Enjoy having some of your family for a rib supper.

Vanilla-Jackie--Interesting that you can call on Saturday and get information about your medical problems.

Joan, these conversations took place yesterday....It will be hard to get hold of anyone over the next few days, we have a Bank Holiday weekend......

I was packing up a parcel ready to take to the post office when I noticed the only returns label, the other was missing said " please affix the correct postage..." as I used a code for my order giving me free delivery and free returns I was on that phone stating I don't have a car, I have MS, the post office is quite some distance and I have to rely on someone to take me..." do you not have a courier who will come and collect, it was a courier company who delivered it...The man said we can arrange this, and gave me another phone number and told me to phone Tuesday, I said aren't they open today, no was the answer, they are now closed all over the Bank Holiday...This wasn't collection pick-up, but for them to send me a label first....so at this rate it will be end of next week before it gets collected, then another few days, week, before I am refunded back into my bank account...

Vanilla-Jackie--Sorry I misunderstood.  I thought the conversation was today.

Good morning all, Had a great sleep, a happy morning and I plan to spend most of the day at home. I will get out for walks though..that is and essential.

Most of you have heard me talk about my wonderful kids..Dan and Nancy, Gary and Dori. Dan and Nancy do not have a web site. Gary and Dori do, so in case you would like to meet them, here is the place to visit.  http://www.sbcwestminster.org/meet-the-staff/ 

Today I must fill my medicine weekly doses boxes, I now have two of them….a second was a gift from a friend. I do not enjoy this chore, but it is necessary, so I will get it done. Also I am yelling at myself to Answer Letters !! So hopefully I will do both duties today.

Now I will proceed to find out what the rest of you have had to say today.

Janie, we are having a high of 69 degrees today. I like that. So far some sun, then cloudy, no sun again. Nights run about mid fifties. Just right. I too miss my clothes line, but I would  have trouble hanging laundry while using a cane. Is your ill doggy all happy again ? I hope so.

Hal, I feel the same way about all the strange flags. We never know. Politicians do hire people to fly flags, trying to convince those folks they support the candidate. It is a deceitful game all around. I watched about a half hour and that was enough. Have a good time with your family tomorrow and enjoy the ribs !

I have had my enjoyable time with all of you, now I will get the body over to the other desk and do those blasted med boxes. See you later…..

Junedrabek, thank you, it was a pleasure to have met them....Your Dori is so pretty....with a warm smile...

June--Thanks for the link to Gary and Dori's website.  I have two med cases, too.  I fill for two weeks at a time.  Then I have two different inhalers and the tubes of medicine for the nebulizer which I have to use 7 times a day.  It's very warm and humid here today.

Well I did it again.............wrote a post and just ended it by saying that I have been on the phone off an on and must get this posted........highlighted it to add color and poof it was GONE.

I will try to get back and re-due what I can. 

Enjoy your day..........

Jenny

Well, my day did not go as planned.instead we went road running Hubby wanted to go to the choclate factory and just have a nice drive so away we went. You would be so proud of me..I did not go in the quilt shop I passed by it and went over to the bakery and ignored the pull to go in and wallow in the fabric..all in all we did have a nice day and NOW my laundry is out blowing on the line. I prefer to get my work done early but oh well it will get done..better go make my bed up fresh now.

Hi Amy
I thought you meant you and your hubby went jogging, as you said road running!

Kelly

June, thanks for asking about my Annie.  She has a bit of an infection in the glands but the Vet gave her an antibiotic which she is still taking and she is already much better.

AH!  Amy, what a pleasure to have sheets blown dry by the Spring winds!  I remember those days!

Jenny, been there, done that!  What a frustration!

Cathy and I just got back from the Mall.  I returned 2 pairs of the pants that I bought the other day when I went there.  And I bought 2 pairs of Capris and two shells for under the blouses I bought the other day.  Now I'm finished!  No more buying until I get to Texas and Cindy and I hit the outlets.  Shoes first!

  Kelly....no way would we be able to do that..nice thought though 

Amy, but was you tempted into the chocolate factory.....

Jenny, whenever somebody writes, " it went poof..." all I can think of is...Poof the magic dragon....then I start singing it....

Jane S, was that Annie who was a bit poorly a few days ago?

Hi Jenny.  Sorry you lost your post.

Amy--Good girl--not stopping by the fabric shop.  Did you get some good chocolate?

Janie--Glad the med worked and Annie is better.  You should be all set for clothes until you hit those outlets in TX.

Vanilla-Jackie--Now you are going to have me humming that song the rest of the day.

JACKIE, part of my post was written to you regarding that lady that sure does not need to be in the position that she is in.....if she can't be nice to patients, she should hang it up.  As to "Puff the magic Dragon"........see, something good DID come out of my post that went POOF! 

I will join you in humming that song now also, JOAN. 

JANE, happy to read that Annie is doing better after starting on the antibiotic.  Poor baby and poor mommies bank account.  Sounds like you are all set for your trip with good outfits to wear. 

Hi Amy
Jogging is good for you, mind you my brain is willing, the problem is my legs are not! 

Kelly

Jackie and Joan we did get a package of bars but the price has gone up so much that we didn't buy what we normally get. Better for my hips too

Joan, I have to be honest and say they are going to call me when my fabric comes in and THEN I will go in and enjoy!!!

Kelly, I know what you mean....good thoughts though.

Jenny--I am still humming that song.

Amy--It seems the price of almost everything has gone up.  Aha--you are waiting for a fabric order.
