Shirley, I can read the 10 pt font OK, but don’t go any lower.  I really liked the 12.  I enjoyed the picture of Monarch Pass but I’ll pass on that snow because all I have to do is look out my windows and there it is in all of its glory!

Sandy, at the time I had my nosebleeds in July and August, my nephew’s nurse wife was shocked at the tub mat I had; it was old and not in good condition, but it was rubber and I liked it.  My nephew’s wife bought me a new mat which is about the same size as the one in your link.  I feel safer with the tub mat but I also hang on to the grab bar for dear life. 

Callie, one reason for me to be happy I sold my car; I no longer have to worry about batteries, gas or insurance.  Tom had been parking his car outside the garage because snow tires that came on the car were taking up too much space.  Before we started getting snow, he moved the tires and is now able to park the car in the garage.  He doesn’t feel he needs the snow tires because the tires he bought after he got the car do a good job of stopping.  He drives for Uber and I don’t worry about his driving, but I do worry about people coming from the opposite direction and side roads; can they stop soon enough?

Mary Ann

Vanilla-Jackie--I pray there is no third time.

Mary Ann--I pray for Tom's safety when he's out driving in that nasty weather.

Jackie, my grandmother's version of that old saying was "GOOD things always come in threes".  She never allowed that bad things might also.  So I don't subscribe to that theory either. 

I caught a few zzzs and now I have the rest of the peanuts in the oven for the new grandson-in-law that I forgot about.  I have one more package ready to go and one more to complete.  Then tomorrow, it's off to UPS.

We have about an inch and a half of snow on the ground and, no Joanie, I don't have to shovel it.  If there is a shovelable amount, my neighbor across the street will be over with the snow blower (of which I am a part owner) to remove it.

I hope Hal is OK!

I am worried about HAL, too.  It is not like him to not come in.   I hope and pray he is OK.   A cold can sure take one down.....

JACKIE, I understand what your thoughts are regarding the rugs, and they do serve that purpose, but they can be very dangerous too. I know you are going to have more falls....it is eneveitable, but you just have to do your best to keep them from happening the best you can.  I would think a rolling walker would be the best thing for you. 
Uneven surfaces are an issue with the wheels.... darn MS is so darn hard to deal with...I am so so sorry!

SANDY, the tub mat looks like a good one. 

JOAN, I know you do your best at eating....  sorry it is such an issue for you to get some weight on.  SHIRLEY. I am not sure even your candy bar eating would even work for our JOAN! 

CALLIE, I am sorry your darn ol battery had to choose a Sunday morning to come up dead.  Did you see the controversy about the cross being lit up in Leadville?  So sad to see so many of our traditions going away. 

SHIRLEY, they are getting a lot of good snow in the mountains....I know you love to keep in touch with the cams. 

My Broncos are not doing well at all..... I am nervous....

Jenny

Good evening, very cold may snow.  I have had a busy day, finished writing cards, wrapping gifts, so again I am very tired.

Tomorrow I go to the heart doctor. hope the weather is better.

Phyllis love the graphic, thanks

Joan, I just have to look at candy, and I gain.

Sun, if you are looking in we miss you

Jackie, I am glad you did not get hurt, when you fell. I think you need to walk with somekind of aid.

Well I am still amongest the living, but now the wife is in bed with the same thing.  I have got to learn to live standing up again, I have an apmt in the morning with the urologist.  I have no energy at all, my oldest Daughter is going to pick up something for us to eat tonight, although both us have no appetite.  It seems the bug is hitting everyone, the folks across the street are down with it and my middle daughter in Del Rio is in bed.  I move from bed to couch and back to bed.  At least my cold is breaking up and loose, wifes is sill tight as a drum. Auuuuggggghhhhhh.  Later

Good Afternoon dear Hearts,
   I am late. Because: I slept too late, because I woke up with pain at three a.m. and walked the floor.  However, I made it down for the leg check, then on to Chapel where we took our special places to do some singing for the Congregation. Then I went for an early lunch. Came home and got comfy, and fell asleep. Everything you could care less about hearing..sorry...

Jackie, I am so very sorry to hear about your bad fall, but so very thankful you did not break any bones or bang your head. May I congratulate you on the neatness of your home..you put me to shame. I hope R. and the dogs helped in cleaning up the spilled food. I'm sure you did not feel up to it at the time.

Larry, good thinking on your advice to Jackie on the utility cart. It would also help her balance. I use my walker constantly and tote things around on the seating area of the cart.

Gloria, you and I do the same..using the cart to tote our stuff.

Bis, me too with the need for weight. I just cannot eat like I used to do , and I'm getting tired of hiking up my pants after sitting down for a time. I'm gaining a little bit but still under 110, and I am 5'6".

Tisie...WOW ! That's a lotta snow girl. Nice to look at but I had my fill after growing up in Mn.

I was hoping to see a message from Hal, but no luck. And I did not see Lloyds usual greeting either.

I'm not sure I like this color of font, especially in Bold. Any one feel it is too..too ?

I see my concern about color and size of type did not transfer from my note pad to here.

HI HAL !!! Thanks for popping in friend. I wish you did not have to go out tomorrow when you are not well. I hope you are not going alone. My regrets to your wife being ill now too. Keep strong as possible.

Janie--Nice that you own part of the snowblower and neighbor does the snow blowing.

Jenny--I know halkel was battling a cold, but it's not like him not to at least say hello.  Sorry about those Broncos.

Linedancer--You've been busy.  I pray you get a good report from the cardiologist.

Where's June?

Edit:  Glad you checked in halkel and June.

We have snow on the ground and I have no idea how much.  I did not go out today, even to church.  Since Dot drives, I leave it up to her, but she asked my opinion.  The main road looked OK from my window, but our complex had not been plowed and we're two old ladies who should not be out in bad weather.

Mary Ann

I am in a very generous mood and would gladly transplant some of my pounds AND appetite to those in need, just come up with a plan~~ 

I just polished off half a Red Baron pizza supreme.... and a couple pieces of candy that won't make it to the tree.  I have been going up & down those steps all afternoon & am wanting to close my eyes, was a 5:00 am morning & didn't get to bed until midnight.  I do have the tree put together, now to add lights, a few ornaments & lots of candy.  I bought 2 bags of Double Bubble gum that I forgot about.... wonder if the greats will even know what it is. 

Sandy, a good movie I've never seen before on ION.... I just discovered it but says about a couple during WWII that met & lost each other at the end of the war....  I like happy endings so hope it has one. 

Hal, speedy recovery to you & your wife.  No time to be sick, Santa won't come if your house is full of germs!

I've got to go close my eyes for a few minutes.... so who cares if I sleep now & decorate that tree in the middle of the night??  Behave, everyone, wishing a healthy week ahead for all.

Mary Ann, same around here, the side streets don't get treated so if you can get out of your neighborhood the main streets are treated with the salt/brine & sand mixture & plowed, just get a dirty car.

Well it is still snowing out there..looks like I shall have an early date with the shovel or snowblower.

I may not be on in the morning,taking hubby to the city to get his PICC line put in .

Hal, good to see you in here....hope you and your wife feel better soon.

Jackie, so glad to hear you didn't break anything in your fall......just a little note to say porridge goes inside you not on the outside.

Shirley I too can help with both of those also......just polished off a piece of Nanaimo bar....dear me I am never going to learn to leave them alone!!

Wish you all a good night..

I am in to wish you all a very Good Night also. It is only a little after seven p.m. my time, but bed and book are calling and body is eager to oblige. Sleep peacefully dear hearts. Love, Hugs and Prayers. June

I'm off to the land of Nod also.  Good night dear friends!  Sleep well and may God bless us, every one!

AMY....
....I have never been one to follow the norm....re, where porridge is meant to go...guess there's a first time for everything...

....JANE S....
....I think that's because its meant to be " third time lucky..." well it is for some....

...HALKEL....
.....are you sure it is just a cold?....to me it sounds more like a touch of flu if its been keeping you inside your bed....Will you still be able to make your hospital Urologist appointment? I know if we come down with anything here in UK, we are advised to stay away from inside hospitals in case we pass anything around...

......................................

Well it is now 4.30am, and I am up and drinking my first cup of tea of the day....I seem to be making this a habit....

JENNY....
...good morning or goodnight, I can see you are now in to join me....You are right about MS, it is hard to deal with, I may look normal but my body isn't...cant even start to explain what it does to my body and its so so unpredictable and changeable, even throughout the day......Oh yes, Jenny, I will do my best to stay up right, twice this week is enough for anybody....

Good morning, JACKIE.  Will you do me a favor and try to stay up right today?  Just kidding you....bet you are feeling some boo boo's from that fall?  Hope not too badly.

HAL, good to see your post and know that you are still among us!  Sorry the wife and others are under the weather as well.  I hope you call the urologist office and see if they even want you to go in!  Sure would be best if you could take a rain check and stay in. 

AMY, hope all goes well tomorrow for DH to get the PICC line put in.  Safe travels to the city.

The best to you as well, GLORIA de as you head in to the cardio doc appointment.

MARYANN, I believe you made the best decision to stay home where you were both safe and warm today. 

Do hope all is well with LLOYD. 

I am off to bed as well...sleep well, EVERYFRIEND.

Jenny

Good Monday morning, Everyfriend.  There's elephant ears to accompany your coffee or tea . I wish everyone a nice day!!



Field Exercise

During a field exercise at Camp Lejeune, N.C., my squad was on a night patrol through some thick brush. Halfway through, we realized we'd lost our map. The patrol navigator informed us, "Our odds are 1 in 359 that we'll get out of here."

"How did you come up with that?" someone asked.

"Well," he replied, "one of the degrees on the compass has to be right."



Identity in Christ
(By Andrew Wommack)
(Fused together from Identity in Christ Parts 1 and 2)

Second Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." The phrase "in Christ" is a terminology that is used over 300 times in the New Testament, always referring to a vital, union relationship with God. Once that takes place, you become a new creature. Some translations actually say "a new creation."

This leads to a critical issue that I believe is imperative to understanding your new identity in Christ: It did not take place in the physical realm. It isn't talking about your physical body, saying that it completely changes, that your looks change. If a person was fat before they were saved, they'll still be fat afterward, unless they go on a diet. It also isn't talking about your mental or emotional part - what most people consider to be the real "them." If you weren't too smart before you were saved, you won't be too smart after you're saved, but you will still have a lot of the same memories and thoughts.

There is a third part, and according to this scripture, by process of elimination, it has to be the part of us that is changed - our spirit man. A scripture that verifies this is 1 Thessalonians 5:23 where Paul is praying for the Thessalonians, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." That passage shows that we have a spirit, soul, and body. The body part is very obvious. It's the part of us that is seen, our outward persons. We all recognize that there is another part beyond that - our emotional, mental part - which Scripture calls the soul. We know that even though a person may not physically touch you, they can touch you by their words, either in a positive or negative way. Most people are in tune with the physical and soulish parts, but according to Scripture, there is another part, which is the spirit.

The spirit is the part of us that is changed and is new after salvation. It is actually the lifegiving part. James 2:26 says, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." That shows that it is the spirit that actually breathes life into our physical bodies. It is where our life comes from. In Genesis 2 when God created Adam and Eve, Adam's body was complete, but then God breathed into him the breath of life. This word "breathe" in Old Testament Hebrew was the exact same word that we use for breath, and it is translated "spirit" in other places. God created the physical body and the soulish person of Adam, but then He breathed into him the breath of life and he became a living soul. The spirit is the part of us that gives life.

Prior to salvation, before a person made a total commitment of their life so that the Lord came into them, the spirit within them was dead. Ephesians 2:1 says, "And you hath he quickened [made alive], who were dead in trespasses and sins" (brackets mine). We know we were alive before we were born again, but the word "dead" is speaking of spiritually. Death in the Bible doesn't mean ceasing to exist, as some people today think of it. It literally means "separation." When a person physically dies, they don't cease to exist. The Bible teaches that they go immediately into the presence of God or into the presence of hell. The soul and spirit continue to live, but there is a separation from the physical body, which dies and decays.

When Genesis 2:17 says "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die," it didn't [only] mean they would die physically but spiritually, that they would become separated from God. The spirit, the part that God breathes into us, which actually gives life and motivation, became separated from God's supernatural life...His holy and complete life...what the Bible calls zoe life or "life in an absolute or abundant sense." Man then began to degenerate. He still functioned, but he was functioning independently, separately from God. That's really what causes all the problems in our lives...all of our emotional stress.

When a person comes to the Lord, they receive a new spirit and are born again, which is the terminology Jesus used in John 3:5. In the same way man is born physically with a spirit, soul, and body, when he is born again, he receives the Spirit of Christ. Galatians 4:6 says, "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." God literally places His Spirit inside of us, and we now have a new quality of life, a new identity, and are a totally new person in our spirits.

The rest of the Christian life is learning in your soulish, mental realm what has taken place in your spirit. The truth is, one-third of your salvation is over when you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord. Your spirit becomes completely changed. It is the exact same spirit you will have throughout eternity. It already has love, joy, peace, and is full of the presence of God. There is no lack or inadequacy in your spirit, but you have to perceive that, which is the reason studying the Word of God is so vital to the Christian life. You are a totally brand-new person, but until you get knowledge, you won't change. Victory in the Christian life comes when you are able to look into the Word, which is Spirit and life, see who you are, see what God has done, and begin to believe it.

Ephesians 4:24 says, "Put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." When a person is born again, their spirit becomes righteous and truly holy. The Bible actually speaks of two types of righteousness.

There is a righteousness you produce through your own actions, and you must maintain that type of righteousness in relationships with other people. If you don't live right and do right, your boss may fire you or your spouse may divorce you; so you need to have your own righteousness. God, however, doesn't accept you based on your external righteousness. God literally gave you His righteousness.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21 it says that God the Father made the Son to become sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. So there is a righteousness which goes far beyond our external righteousness and is based on what God did for us. We literally received the righteousness of God by faith in Christ. We were created in righteousness and true holiness. We aren't growing into that righteousness; we are already righteous. A simple definition is that we are already in right standing with God.

God is pleased with us based on Christ, not on anything else. Our spirits are where the change took place. We're already created in righteousness and true holiness and are brand-new creatures. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works." In our spirits, we are perfect and complete. There is no sin or inadequacy. Ephesians 1:13 says, "After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise."

Some of you may think, Well, when I first believed on the Lord, I did believe I was totally forgiven and cleansed, and everything was fine. But since that time, I have sinned, I have failed God again. If you did, you failed in your actions and your mental and emotional part, but your spirit did not sin. It was sealed just as a woman puts fruit into a jar and then puts paraffin over it to make it airtight and to keep all impurities out. God sealed you, so when you were born again, you received a new spirit, and sin does not penetrate your spirit. You have a new identity. For you to have relationship with God, you have to fellowship with and worship Him based on who you are in your spirit not in your flesh.

This is really the great transformation in the Christian life, that a person has to change their identity. You have to relate to God based not on what you do in the physical realm, not what you think in your mind, but by who you are in the spirit based on what He has done for you. That's a completed work, something that does not fluctuate (change back and forth). You were created in righteousness and true holiness. That is the spirit part of you, and to fellowship with God, you have to worship Him in spirit and in truth. You have to stand in this identity of who you are in Christ.


Soren Kierkegard, the 19th century Danish religious philosopher, told a story about a town where only ducks live. Every Sunday the ducks would waddle out of their houses and waddle down Main Street to their church. They waddle into the sanctuary and squat in their proper pews. The duck choir waddles in and takes its place, then the duck minister comes forward and opens the duck Bible. He reads to them "Ducks! God has given you wings! With wings you can fly! With wings you can mount up and soar like eagles. No walls can confine you! No fence can hold you! You have wings. God has given you wings and you can fly like birds." All the ducks shouted "AMEN!"...and they all waddled home.

Good Morning Everyfriend and especially Good Morning, Joanie.

All the packages are done and ready to go to UPS this morning.  I have a couple of phone calls to make this morning and I've had emails that 3 of the four items that I've ordered have shipped.  Today I'm going to pack the mixed bags of candy for my neighbors and friends and then get out the Christmas things so Kiran can help me decorate.  Sounds like a busy day!  And I think I just heard the coffee pot announce that it's ready. 

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend!

Good morning, Janie.  You are really making progress getting your packages done and mailed/delivered.  Such fun to have Kiran to help you decorate.

 

Good morning.  Warmer here today than it was over the weekend but cloudy, drizzly, foggy, and just plain yuckish!

Thanks to David for pushing me a little bit but we finally got the Christmas tree up and the candles in the windows.  Just can't get too enthused about the holiday season.  Maybe that will happen soon.

Take care, everyone, if you have to be out and about in snowy weather.

Good morning, Phyllis.  I have just a few decorations out.  Linda arrives tomorrow night, and I know she'll urge me to get more out.  I sure am glad we don't have to contend with snow.

We got a little more snow than was expected but my driveway has been plowed and the sidewalk around to the front of the house has been cleared.  My new snowblower franchise is working well.

Now I'm going to go take a shower, get dressed and make my bed.  Then i'll do my phonecalls and then head for the UPS store.  When I come back, I'll pack the mixed bags, wrap the fruit cake and finish wrapping presents.  (MAYBE?)

Good Morning Everyone!

I feel like I am among the living and my cough is about gone.  My wife is still feeling kinda puny but she was up early, had a shower and is now lying back down. 

As hard as it is get in to see my doctor, I am just going to take my left over cold and head in.  I even have an appetite this morning.  Jenny and Jackie, it wasn't the flu, no fever and no aches and pains.  Just stuffy head and chest and cough and cough.  But a common cold  really puts me down.  And sucks the very energy out of me.

Janie, you and the other ladies are so blasted organized.  I am happy your snow removal company is working out. 

Coffee is ready and I am ready for it.  I scrapped my face this morning, first time in a week. And yep, still have a face.

http://www.jacquielawson.com/ecard/pickup?code=6441408187138&source=jl999&utm_medium=internal_email&utm_source=pickup&utm_campaign=receivercontent

Janie--Great the way your snowblower franchise works.  I imagine in that list of other things to do, you'll need some zzz's.

Good morning, halkel.  Maybe if you didn't "scrape" your face, you could play Santa Claus.

Chia--Thanks for the nice JL card.

Hi everyone on an overcast morning.  It appears we may have had a little rain during the night.  We should get to about 65 degrees this afternoon.  I did get to Sunday School and Church but Pat wasn't feeling up to attending.  North Augusta was having it's Christmas Parade yesterday afternoon so I had to find an alternative way to get home as the main road in front of the church was blocked.  Fortunately, I have now lived here long enough to know what to do and had no problem getting home.  I didn't get anything for our lunch yesterday and we just ate what we had at home. 

From Wednesday through Saturday evenings last week our church had an event for the community called "Return to Bethlehem".  We did not attend but yesterday as I got to church I drove through the little village that the church sets up and it was most impressive with about 15 different type houses, businesses, the court of Herod, and the Inn set up. There was a cast of people representing the towns people and tradesmen of the small village, all in costume.  It took several hundred people to build the sets, setup the racks of costumes and all the other particulars necessary to put on a production like this.  They even had a live camel and perhaps some other livestock.  They announced that there was an attendance of 4,456 people who attended.  There was no cost.  Our church has been doing this for a number of years and during this time over 48,000 people have attended. 

The only thing on my schedule today is to attend my noon meeting.  This morning I need to shred some cheese and cut up some green peppers so they are available for Pat's scrambled eggs for breakfast over the next few days. 

Patricia, we have found the cart to be a very useful tool in many ways and it is so sturdy.  I have two sets of shelves made of the same material in my office closet and they are so much better than shelves I have used in the past. 

Don, I enjoyed your program yesterday. 

Callie, I don't know who anyone could camp at 10,000 feet.  The last time we were in Colorado we made the trip up to the highest point and went into the visitor center.  I started having chest pain and we had to get down to a lower elevation as quickly as possible.  I also had trouble at the elevation of Denver and determined I would not go back.

Joy, I haven't bought the English muffins in the dairy case at Walmart for a long time and I really like them.  Thanks for reminding me about them. 

Jenny, sorry your Bronco's didn't win their game yesterday.  Fortunately the Atlanta Falcons had a very good game.  The only area rugs we have in our house is at our front door and one under my desk and my desk chair as I wanted to protect the hard wood floor in my office.  We do have two bedrooms with wall-to-wall carpeting but our master bedroom has hardwood floors.  Sometime ago we took up the small throw rugs in front of the sinks in the master bathroom as they were a danger to both Pat and I. I have wondered if we moved to a different country and didn't like their traditions if they would be willing to change them or stop observing them as this country seems to be doing.  Our Constitution doesn't say anything about freedom from being offended on occasion. 

Hal, I sure hope today finds both you and your wife feeling better. 

June, you have to set color, font size and other features here in this software.  If you type in the box at the bottom of the postings just hit the Preview button and you will see your message and all the commands available for color, etc. 

Joan, that is a lot of candy in a two week period.  Sorry you can't gain weight.  That sure isn't my problem.  You might want to stop in AutoZone or Advance Auto and they will check your battery for free and they will replace on the spot if needed. 

Jackie, I understand that the rollators with the bigger wheels handle changes in floor heights better than the smaller wheels.  Perhaps some of our folks using rollators will be able to confirm or give further guidance. 

I ventured over to the Card Shoppe to see if I could leave a message of sympathy for Bobbi Gould but could not find that place.  I asked the PSP ladies if they could point me the right direction but, alas, they must be taking a nap (teasing, girls, I know y'all hang out in here, too).  Last time I heard from Bobbi was the message she left for me when Cas died... and those messages really kept me together & were appreciated.  I can't find that discussion, has it been abandoned? 

Good morning to all, I hear cats calling me so must head to the other end of the house. 

Good morning everyone, we got snow over night and the maintenance man was out clearing the walkways at 5 this morning.Of course that woke me but I did go back to sleep/ It is now raining. Now that is enough to give everyone the Monday blues.

JACKIE  Photobucket seems to want to sell prints these days. Not interested in that all I need is a place to put graphics so I can post here. I have hundreds of them in there and cannot get to them.

JOAN  sure glad I do not have to shovel or even go out in this mess.

SHIRLEY  thanks for the link, it is still dark there so will check it again later. Yes I still think it is beautiful but I no longer want to go out  and play in it.

JOY  I have a tray that fits great on the rollator seat. That way no chance of my morning coffee tipping over and spilling on the floor. Since I do not move without the rollator it is the only way I can move anything. When one thinks of the price of ingredients anything home made is expensive. Back when I did all that for Christmas I would start buying sugar and flour and every thing else in September. Every week I would get 1 of the things needed so I did not feel like I was spending a fortune all at one time. Had a lot of space where I could store every thing, here I have no extra space. Hardly enough room for what is necessary.

JENNY  like Joan, I sure could use more pounds. Last time I saw my doctor I had lost 2 more pounds.  I could go all day without eating and still not feel hungry. I eat because I know I have to. I agree about throw rugs.  I do not have even one in here, too afraid of tripping on one.

JANE  snow did not start here till late last night. And by the time I got up this morning it had already turned to rain. Not pretty out there.

SHIRLEY  lately every thing I do I use 18 pixel  size font. Glad I have an eye doctor appointment later this month.

CALLIE  you had no more problems yesterday.

JACKIE  there are 2 of those room dividers here, one into the kitchen and one into the bathroom.  I go slow and careful over those. When I was first here I had a tumbler of water on the seat of the rollator and went out of the kitchen, the tumbler fell and I had water all over the wood floor. That is when I started using the tray on the seat and also am careful going into or out of those 2 rooms.

MARY ANN  when I was driving I knew what I could do and how my car reacted but I always worried about other drivers. These days with so many more on the roads I am glad I no longer drive and seldom have to go far in a car.

HAL  good to see your post. Sorry you and your wife both were so ill.  Glad you have family close that ca help. Feel better soon with God's help.

JUNE  I put a tray on the seat of the rollator, keeps things more level. I have been doing that about 4 years now and it is the only way I can carry anything. I would love to be 110 pounds, I am 86 pounds now and do not like that at all.

AMY  what is a Mamaimo far? Candy?  I'll have the rest of that bar.  Hope the roads are clear for your drive into the city.

JOAN  an elephant ear would be great this morning. I have not had one of those in years. Thought of the day got me at the end when the ducks waddled home. Like some humans who go to church every Sunday and pay no attention to what they hear. Thank you for today's goodies.

PHYLLIS  I still have not felt like getting my tree out of the closet and set up. Still have time so might feel like it by next week.

HAL  I seldom ever had a cold but when I did I am down for the count.

LARRRY  only rollators I see have the small wheels but mine gets me where I want to go, just a bit more careful with bumps in the way.

SHIRLEY  seems like no one posts birthday or anniversary cards in the Card Shoppe any more. I know I have posted little in PSP lately.

Just got a call from the place that supplies my CNA. She has been out with the flu and I told her Saturday when she emaileld me that is she was not fully over it I did not want her here today. Well she is still out and no one will come today. Good, then I can do just what I feel like doing. Staying in nightgown and robbe, lay on the couch with the remote and watch TV. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning, Larry.  The "Return to Bethlehem" display sounds most impressive.  Thanks for the tip--I'll stop at Auto Zone next time I am out.

Shirley--That board is titled Tranquil Cove.  There are no messages there.

http://www.seniorsandfriends.org/index.php?board=21.0

Is that what you were looking for?

Good morning, Gloria.  Your CNA must have a bad case of the flu.

Good morning,  Joan and all.  Thank you for the elephant ears this morning.  Haven't had any of those for a long time.  Yummy !!!

I am writing this while I am on hold on the phone.   It has been almost 15 min. so far.  And, with some very annoying music playing,  I am determined to wait it out.  I ordered a gift card 2 weeks ago and have not received it yet.  This is the 4th time I have called and they keep telling me to wait... Yesterday, they told me to call my post office as it was probably laying it on a shelf there.  I called the p.o. this morning and because it was a gift card and not a package there was no way to track it.  So I want my money back.  I have to just wait, I guess.

Shirley, I thought the Sympathy board might have been under the Tranquil board, but there was nothing there.  I don't think Bobbie visits here much anymore,  If you want her e-mail or her home address, send me a Private Message.

Hope everyone will have a nice day.

Joy

Edit:  I just now see where Joan wrote a message while I was still typing.  Like I said above, the Tranquil Cove didn't have any messages.  But,  I guess that is where you would write a sympathy message.
