For Older People with Sense

Angry weather scares me! There's nothing you can do to change it....

My tests were all okay simply by the fact they couldn't find any ovaries!! So, I have to consider that no news is good news! I just saw the doc yesterday for results and he gave me a bladder relaxer in case it is my bladder in spasms. I go back in 6 weeks.

I havent had a chance to read the posts from the last few days.  I think that will take awhile.

My beautiful grandbaby is finally here!  Her name is Olivia Anne, 9lb 2oz, 21 1/2" long.  She as born Monday the 23rd.  I had a hard time leaving her today and am thinking of going back and sneaking her to my home when they're not looking. 

I'm having a devil of a time trying to insert her picture but she is beautiful and perfect.

Barbe, so glad tests are negative so far.  BarbaraA, it's true!  None of us are zombies yet!  I'm still afraid of zombies from a movie I saw as a kid called "I walked with a Zombie."  It scared me to death!  I think those old black and white movies were somehow scarier than the newer scary movies. 

Lord God does this rain ever stop?  Another week of it in the forecast.  No wonder they have so many coffee shops in Oregon and Washington.  Dragon

Mazie, congrats on the new granddaughter!

Barbe - so sorry they still have not found the source of the pain.

Marianne - CONGRATULATIONS on the new granddaughter.  Olivia Anne is a beautiful name and she certainly is a big girl.  My second daughter was just about 13oz bigger and everyone thoght she was a toddler! Or at least that is what they teased me about.  I know you are so delighted she is finally here.  We are still waiting for you to figure out how to post pictures.  I use Photobucket and it is pretty easy from there. 

Great news!  Just got off the phone with surgeon's nurse and she said results of mammogram, " no evidence of malignancy"

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!  thanks for all your prayers and support - look at the outcome!

still breathing. . .

Teklya what a relief, great news.

And welcome news about Olivia. DS was that size born but didn't put on weight for ages.  DD's friend had an 11lb 11oz baby!!!!!

Barbe, when my children were babies we didn't have disposables here - well they were just coming in so we used cloth nappies ( that's what we call them here not diapers)

Leah, how is you DH's face? What an adventure you had.

Must go and get dressed.

I often wonder why our wifi doesn't work. If you could see Gus, one ginger cat, its not hard to understand - he is sleeping on the router!!!! 

Tekyla!!! GREAT NEWS!!  I'm doing the happy dance too!

Congratulations, Marianne, on your new GD!  Beautiful name, too.

Amyjo, so glad to hear that DD#2 and her family are safe.  Know that's a relief for you.

Barbe, I so hope the bladder relaxer helps.  Do you think your ovaries have just disappeared??

Dragon, I loved horror movies as a teenager, especially anything with Vincent Price.  I was an avid reader of Poe, and a lot of the movies were "loosely" based on Poe's stories.  There was one, not a Poe one, that terrified me and I just cannot think of the name of it.  Anyhow, Vincent Price broke into a house by cutting a circle from a glass door and removed the glass with a suction cup, reached in, and unlocked the door.  Of course, our back door was half glass at the time.  

My word, Isabella, is there anything you haven't done?  I didn't know you'd been a foster mother in addition to all the other things.  You continue to amaze me!  Glad you're finally getting your window in and can at last move into your new bedroom!

      tekyla!! doin the happy dance for you... marianne, can't wait to see pics.put them in photobucket, you can just cooy and paste them from there to here! a trick chrissy b taught me.. really easy. don't have to use that tree thing, at all..

   Isabella!! i'm so glad you're getting your window, and can get in your new bedroom.. the father of those girls was a saint, to buy one for each of them... and, they get to stay with their litter mates!(the dogs)

   the discussion about "nappies" had me chuckling. for my 1st Jay, i was "gonna be natural" and wash the dirty things! the 2nd and 3rd i wised up, and used pampers... and yes, Isabella, it saved so much washing...    3jays 

3jays,, aren't they just the sweetest little things!!!!

My first mother-in-law was really mad that I used disposables. SHE used nappies, but of course my husband was allergic to the laundry soap so she had to BOIL each nappie!! That'll teach you for trying to go natural!! And then those rubber pants where all the pee sits at the elastic and burns the poor baby's skin!! It's child abuse I tell you!!!!  I had a hard-time with the big pins (yes, I tried cloth first) and looking back it's weird that my arthritis/FM would have started that long ago.... I pride myself on being physically very strong, but when I'm in a flare, I'm like a toddler in strength.

Just so everyone doesn't think I'm ignoring Tek, I did congratulate her on another thread...awkward moment!

Marianne



Congrats on the new addition. Such a lovely name. Wishing all the best to the family



Tek. What wonderful news!

Dragon, come on down!! I live on the west coast of FL and it is lovely here. Never goes above 95 in dead of summer (way better than when I lived in DC). Always a breeze. Jeez Lousie, I sound like the tourist bureau. Come on!!

Alyson, you show me up ! I started knitting a pig, a cartoon character that all the little ones watch, called Peppa Pig. I was HOPING to finish it for Christmas, guess what? I didn't ! Its only a 10" high pink pig, with a red knitted dress, pretty straightforward....BUT...I just never managed to complete. In fact I only got about 6" of the pigs body done. Just lucky I kept my mouth tight shut, and no-one knew I was knitting. G/daughter has just had her bedroom all 'Peppa Pigged'...the whole shebang, bed, chest of drawers, table chair...even pictures on the wall...she loves it, and drags me off up there whenever I pop in.

3jays...those 2 dogs are lovely...are they dancing or scrapping !! I had my friend Elvis the gypsy call on me last night. He brought the most tiny chihuahua you ever did see. He had bought it for his wife for £1,500 ($ 2,600)  It was cream, longhaired, a year old, and weighed about 2 pounds I would have guessed. Never ever seen one so tiny. I THOUGHT he had brought it to see if I wanted to buy it, I would have loved her ( but not at that price ) but he was just babysitting it while his wife was in the supermarket. I have said if they ever want to part I would be interested....but I don't think they will.

Will you girls please stop going on about the weather ??? I am so sick of ours at the moment. We are having cold miserable weather, no sun, lots of howling winds and sideways rain. I have loads of small branches down , all to be collected by G/son when things calm down. I have had the central heating back on the past 2 nights. It is a holiday w/end coming up here, and everyone is complaining that they want to get to somewhere warmer for a few days. All the schools are shut next week, and there is a distinct possibility of all flights out of UK all being cancelled, because of a  ^&&*£*$  cloud of volcanic ash, en route from Iceland, where there has been a major eruption of one of their volcanoes. All the ash is been blown right across our airspace by the Gulf Stream, that has 'slipped' so we are being told ! We got 'shut down' about this time last year, and no-one could fly in or out of UK. Lots were stranded at destinations all over the world, and could not get back home for about a week!
