       I was reading the You Say Yes, I say No one tonight and it's a pretty funny one also....I was thinking it was all political, but it isn't at all.  I try not to get involved in politics since I am not very well informed and don't like to display my stupidity. 

    So I guess I am all set for cataract surgery on Friday...had my eyeball measured on Friday and have started using these drops they prescribed 4/day 7 days before the surgery.  They told me I had dry eyes which figures since everything else has dried up.

    Good luck on the cataracts.......my mom 's were advanced when they were done. She was amazed at the colors she could reappreciate. Commented for months. So, there's a happy thing to look forward too--Mary

     I just turned the heat up to 78,,,,it is cold.  I was over at my friends today picking up my income taxes and they keep there house at 63o!!....I was walking around with my coat on while I was there.  I guess if you have a nice house with a pool you have to save on utilities.  Jeesh, I like to be warm.

    I'm set at 78 for air conditioning-------Fl.  sitting here with long patient and socks and hoodie. We have a very limited range for acclimation. You hot is our cold. When it's in the 80-90's the thermastat goes even higher for air. Tooooo expensive

    Where did Hadley go?  I went to read her post.  Do people go out on Sat night any more.  I remember how I used to stay out til the bars closed on the weekends and then we would go to someone's house or I would have everyone come to my house and we would party on....those were the days.  I actually don't miss them

    Temp is all relevant....I know when it is 60 in the spring we think Oh wow, Spring is here and summer is coming....then in the fall it gets down to 60 and we think its getting cold.  It is really green here with all the rain.  I keep telling my husband we have to hire someone to come weed....I refuse to have the worst looking yard on the street again....when I was doing chemo it got overrun with weeds.  Now my back is bad and I can't do too much and him, well, he is just too lazy.  Last time he did help he chopped my clematis down to the ground and whacked off a bunch of iris before they had bloomed....I could have killed him.

      I like dinner parties now.  I make fondue a lot inthe winter....worked in Switzerland for 3 yrs and brought my fondue pot back with me and started doing it here and continued doing it here even though it is a fad that comes and goes in the states....so in Jan and Feb, I had 6 different fondue parties....it's always fun, lots of drinking wine and laughing and everyone loves my fondue.  I never like to have more than 8 at at time if I can help it unless I used two pots since it is too far to reach to dip if you have too many.

    Hot flashes.....I am happy to be done with those.  I love to have parties, like to do theme parties and used to do them all the time Mardi Gras,  Chinese New Year,  Garden parties, but now that I am married I very seldom do anything it seems....he goes to sleep in front of his tv early and me, well here I am in front of the computer.   I think I am going to go to a movie tomorrow....need to clean, but am going to try to go to a movie also.

    Just the cheese....use four different kinds, but mostly Gruyere.  You use the ceramic pots....think the metal pots are more for the hot oil and meat fondues.  Do they have a Melting Pot near you...they even do the dessert fondue there with the chocolate.

She is in Malaney, Queensland.
