Well, it's been a busy day today. I met a repairman from a local handyman service who fixed the door's window, and the other door where they (1) broke out the window with a brick in the first door, and (2) kicked in the other door, messing up the door frame and strike plate.

While he was doing that, I picked up the things the thieves had dumped on the floor and fixed up a small-size box I can lift and brought it back with me. In it was an inexpensive Spanish program I had purchased a few years ago. Now, maybe what it was trying to teach me will sink in!!!

Next was research on the internet as to how to apply for unemployment. A newly turned 60 friend was laid off by her former employer, and is not a computer person. So, I'll help her to get her claim filed.

Now, my alarm has rung to remind me to get to my son's apartment to help him arrantge, put away, and etc. so he can continue getting his things out of the house.

So, y'all have a great rest of the day. Much love to all.

My post yesterday isn't here & it was so good..

I am home after hours at the court house.  I wasn't chosen to be on a jury & with the newer & much longer forms we make out with so much information, I put down that Don had worked with HMO insurance - you can bet that threw me out of the lot.  Back home, washing clothes, tomorrow we go to grandson's house & stay with him on the overnights - run run run.  Bought a new light fixture for one bathroom and getting estimates on a new kitchen sink & countertop.  We are also trying to help a son with his cabin.  Sometimes, we are more busy than years ago - at least we feel it. 

Pat:  Thanks for the peaceful and relaxing music.  Loved the YouTube as well.

Ruth Ann:  It is just super that you are helping a friend who has lost her job - a big hug for her - & you too as it is frightful that you had a break-in. 

Larry:  We are going to check out mesh.  I hope it is only the weather bothering you on your walking. 

Becky:  I did reply to you but don't know what happened to the post.  Hang in there - there will be an answer for you.  Meanwhile, come in here often!   

Carol, I see your posts (Reply #1 and #7)  Did you post something other than those? 

Today was my first day working alone, and it went really well.  I had a 10:00 appointment, and was clocking out of the Legacy at two minutes till!  Of course, I had to wait a while, anyway.

Then I had several errands to run, and after that came home and took a nice nap!  Boy, that napping could get to be a habit!

Beth was miserable today, very bloated.  She needs to get up and walk around, and that isn't possible for her, so the gases build up from the surgery.  I took her hands and moved her arms around for a while, hope that helped. 

Carol, you guys are working too hard!  Are you related to me, and really don't know how to take it easy?

Have any of you read the book THE SPIRIT CATCHES YOU AND YOU FALL DOWN?  I just started it, and it is fascinating.  It was recommended to us by our Vietnamese tour guide.

We had a nice little rain shower early this morning!!  PTL!!

Well, this is a big day.  We're changing over from dialup to a cable company called Suddenlink.  The man is here right now doing the work that needs to be done.  It'll include TV, telephone, and internet.  So, hopefully, I'll be able to watch YouTube, etc.  I certainly thank our Lord for this improvement.

Hi, friends,

Yep -- you betcha I'm home and in my bedtime attire already!  Whew, what a busy day.

Al, you should see a great improvement right away.

Y'all have a great evening.

Ruth Ann

Hi everyone.  This was a very busy day.  I was able to walk the mile this morning so have to think it was weather related yesterday.  I had a meeting this morning and then rested a bit after lunch and at 2 pm headed to Atlanta to pick up our daughter to bring her back out here for a chiropractor appointment.  Today was Patient Appreciation Day and the treatments were free.  He just asked for the patients to bring a couple of cans of food for the local food bank.  Both Stacey and Pat had appointments at 4 pm.  After dinner we all got in the car and headed back to her apartment.  Fortunately the run hour traffic was over and we had a good trip.  This was the first time we have had the new car on the Interstate.  We really enjoyed the drive.

I will be retiring for the night soon as find I am tired and I see Pat has fallen asleep in her easy chair. 

Ruth Ann, I must have missed about your house being broken into.  I hope they didn't take anything of value. 

Judy, hope the shot helps with the pain and restores your shoulder to usefulness.

Al, you will really enjoy the faster Internet. 

Janet, sorry to hear of the discomfort Beth is experiencing.  Glad your working alone went so well.

Carol, being on a jury is an awesome experience but very tiring, especially if you get on a long case.

Well, it's all hooked up and running.  I'm on high-speed internet now.  Wow!  What a difference.  You were right, Larry.

Pat I would like to add that I love Asian Pears. They are not on the list.

Yes they are soo good Pat.  You will have to try them,  John and I half one and find that it is very filling!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

We had quite a night.  Darrel woke up in such pain he didn't know what to do.  His back has been hurting continuously since he got the shingles, in spite of pain pills, chiropractic treatments, etc.  He sat up on the side of the bed for a while, nearly crying; then said "You're going to have to take me to the hospital."  I got up and dressed, he was still walking around in his underwear, so I said, "If you're going to the hospital, you'd better get some clothes on."  He picked up his pants, held them in one hand, dragging them all over the house, moaning and groaning.  Finally, he got a little relief.  I had him take his sugar, it was a little high, so I got him a string cheese to eat.  Finally, after about an hour, we went back to bed.  He has gone to the doctor this morning, sure hope he gets some relief.   

I have Red Hats today, plus numerous errands to run.  Park View called wanting me to come back to work, and I told them I cannot work both places at the same time!  Good grief, am I that good a cook?? 

Al, good you got cable now!  You will enjoy it, for sure!

On Friday, we will be heading to Salina for grandson Mark's college graduation.  Thursday night, Abby is dancing in Snow White, then on Sunday night is her other dance recital.  What a busy weekend this is going to be!

Ruth Ann, sorry to hear of your house being broken into; hope you had already moved all your most valuable things.  It does take a long time to get everything sorted and moved, doesn't it?

Larry, so glad you were able to do your mile this time with no ill effects!  God bless you.

Judy, I hope that shoulder is much, much better now.

Now I am off to do what is calling me!

Computer problems....grrrrr!  I was enhancing and resizing photos for Ivalou's photo frame and saving a step by saving them to the SC card.  All of a sudden, I couldn't save them...an error number came up.  So I saved them to a folder in My Documents.  When I got done, I thought, I will save them to a Flash drive and let Ivalou use that.  Still I couldn't save.  Same error number.  So I came into the living room and used the laptop.  Same thing on both the SC card and the Flash Drive.  Both are 2g and only 26mb are on each...not same pix.  Both only have 174 pics out of 210 on them.  So I searched the error number and called Iyogi Technical Support.  Cost me to get it fixed and thought it was and my laptop froze.  Couldn't even shut it off.  Called them back and got the laptop to reboot.  After I hung up I remembered the SD Card was blank when I put the 36 pics on it that wouldn't load before.  When I went to put the other 174 pics on the SD card, I still got the same error number.  Again only 174 pics on the SD card and 36 pics wouldn't save on it.  Not fixed. 

I was so keyed up that I didn't even have my evening meal until after 10:30pm and knew I wouldn't sleep if I went to bed.  So I watched my TV recordings...'Biggest Loser', 'Dancing with the Stars' and 'American Idol' and went to bed at 2:30am!!! 

Up this morning and waiting on the A/C man to come and clean the A/C OR call to say he isn't coming since it looks like rain any minute and it is only to get to 70 degrees today. 

Computers are like windshield wipers.  Great when they work okay but really a big problem when they don't!!

Hi everyone.  It is a cloudy morning here in Georgia but 68 degrees.  We now have a tornado watch for the Atlanta area, which includes our County, until 7 pm tonight.  So we will be keeping a close eye on the weather. 

Other than to attend a meeting this evening I have no other plans for the day.  We did not go to Bible Study this morning as Pat still isn't feeling totally up to par, but much better.  I went walking again this morning and then went to Kroger's for some grocery items. 

Etta Sue, sometimes computer related problems can be such a pain.  Don't think I understand your problem but don't have any suggestions either.  Hope you get some help today since you have already paid for it.

Janet, sure feel for Darrel and that must have been a terrible night.  Sure hope the doctor can help him and that he gets to feeling better so he can participate in the weekend events with your grandchildren.  I bet your cooking is great and that is why they are calling you for the other job.

Al, I felt confident you would really enjoy the high speed Internet.

Larry I have been in Georgia during tornado watches.  No fun.

Janet let Darryl know that I have prayed for him.

Woke up with a relieved shoulder and a stiff neck.  That will pass not a big deal.  The temperature will be around 68 here as well today.  That is always welcomed.

I have to leave soon to pick Kassie up and take her to the hospital to have her foot x-rayed.  Last night it was coloured like a rainbow and the toes were swollen.  She didn't feel like heading in to town last night and can't afford to miss school so this will be an after school visit.

I must be going have other forums to visit.

Know you all are prayed for
 

Happy Birthday to Gord and to Julia.  When I posted earlier I hadn't realized that this was a special day for you two.

Gord, I think we are about the same age (68) or are you ahead or behind me?   

We have had one rain shower go through here but so far all is well in our area. 

Judy, sorry to read that Kassie has hurt her foot.  Sure hope there are no broken bones.

Here's to many happy returns of the day .. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GORD!!

You should bring Pat up here again some day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JULIA!!


I don't think I have "met" you on here, so may I say WELCOME as well?  WELCOME!!

Oh, my, what a lovely day we had here in Kansas today!  Warm, sunshiny, and NO wind!!  Perfect!

I enjoyed the Red Hats outing, and went to see poor Beth.  She is even more miserable now than before the surgery.  They had her so doped up on pain meds she was just mumbling.  They promised to call her doctor.....

In case you haven't been, please pray for our country!!  We are sinking deeper into trouble every day.  And the president said, without apology, "This is no longer a Christian nation."     He is refusing to allow any National Day of Prayer events in the White House. 

Well, guess you don't have to wonder where I stand! 

Kassie has another bad sprain with her ankle.  She is on crutches and has to keep it bound up.  She will be ok, but I am convinced a sprain is worse than a break as it takes longer to heal.

Had a good afternoon with her, spent a bit of time with Megan and Melaura.  

Have to get supper ready so I am off for now.

I certainly wish a happy birthday to Gord and Julia!  We're glad you're here!  And we're glad you've been  here as long as you  have!  And we pray it'll be much, much longer yet!

Hi everyone.  I am getting here early today as have sometime before leaving for coffee.  Starting about 3 am this morning we had several periods of very heavy downpours.  They didn't last too long, maybe 10 minutes or so, but it created a roaring sounds as was so heavy.  I sure hope our daughter didn't get caught out in in trying to get to work this morning.

My calendar is clear today so unless Pat has something in mind I will be able to go at an easy pace today.  We are planning on meeting our son and daughter-in-law in Madison, GA on Saturday afternoon.  It splits the trip for everyone and hope this works out well so we can do it periodically as we don't see much of them.  Then on Sunday we plan on going down to Atlanta to spend sometime with Stacey and perhaps attend the chapel service at the Shepard's Spinal Center chapel, which is across the street from where she lives and then eat in their cafeteria.  We have been told there food is very tasty.  This makes a lot more sense than for us to bring her out her and have to take her back in the same day. 

Janet, I was so hoping, as I know you were, that Beth would be feeling so much better by now after the surgery.  Hope the doctor can help. 

Judy, I understand that sprains can sometimes be more difficult than breaks to heal.  I have never had a bad sprain.

Janet, the National Day of Prayer service has apparently been held a the WhiteHouse for only the last nine years but has been going on for a long time.  It sure looks like we are going to be sending more troops into Afganistan and Pakistan.  I have to wonder how many battles are military can fight at once with the force levels they have.  We are sure asking a lot out of our military. 

Hope this is a good day for everyone.  I am looking forward to it myself.  God is good and may I seek only his will for my life today.

I'd like to wish a belated  HAPPY BIRTHDAY  to Gord and Julia. Sorry I'm late, I'm running behind on everything this year.   

Don

Wow, so many birthdays recently:

Hope your birthday has been great and that you'll be into your new year and experiencing a closer walk with Him, enjoying fellowship and friendship and love and peace.

I've been "stirring around" today and enjoying more sifting through, putting away, and tossing. Y'all are right - it surely does take plenty of effort to downsize so drastically. How thankful I am that my son has allowed me long enough to do this without experiencing too much stress.

Yes, the thieves took a few things, but it was apparent they wanted something they could get a bit of money to spend quickly. The repairs cost more than I expected, but then, that's why I moved out of hte house...repairs ARE so expensive.

I think I'll be involved assisting a friend for the next couple of days, so may be missing a little while.

Y'all have a great day.

Ruth Ann

Oh, dear!  I didn't get here yesterday and so my birthday wishes for Gord and Julia have to be belated  but no less sincere!!!  

Etta Sue,  I have a suggestion for your SC card.  I take it it's from your camera, right?  Save any pictures that are on it to your computer, then put it back into the camera and format, not just erase.  And be sure to do it in the camera not from the computer.  May not help at all, but at this point it has to be worth a try!  And if it won't format in the camera then you'll know that the card is no longer any good.

This is another beautiful day here in the North.  We have a 30% chance of rain this afternoon, so I am watching for that.  I have laundry on the line and want to get it in before it does rain.

Happy birthday to these wonderful folks as well.  May God richly bless you in the year to come!
