Jwoo, I am doing a HAPPY DANCE for you ! Not pretty, but congrats on the fantastic news....
Tang, good to see ya...
Mostly Mom, pop in more often...
Az, great pics. I lurk on the warm thread so I feel like I know you all...
Paw, any news on the iron levels?
Morning to all, well almost noon....Nettie & Chevster & Sas & Spook & the gang...
Mommy2, photos of your masterpiece. I have not finished baby projects.....My son is 31.....oh well....
-
I'll see when I can get a pic up in the near future!
-
Tang, good to hear from you.
Chevy, I'm going to Gatlinburg.
Yes mom, I'm not crafty, so I'd love to see.I
Spookie, my neighbor just had to have one of her dogs eyes removed. This is her baby, she never had kids and she is really worried so I was telling her about your little baby.
Hello back at you HI
-
hi guys, here's a TBT for you. The left side was taken 5-1/2 years ago. The right side was yesterday. We are both smaller now. She did WW. I'm going to stick my picture up where it will remind me to be good.
She is the same one you saw in the booth I posted. Tomorrow I'm going to a sewing retreat with her and 15 others. If I get something done I'll post it.
-
YOU gals look MAHvelous! Good job!
-
Oh poor puppy and mom! I don't know who feels worse! I so hate when my fur kids are sick. And one of them just puked dinner outside. And they just got their TriFexis. ARRRRGGGGHHHH guess I'll find out which when I see a flea.
-
Nettie, wasn't that LilPaws that had Annie's eyes removed? I think she is doing great!
Man Spookie, I just hate when the "kids" are sick.....You know, everytime we drive by the Vets that put Lacee to sleep, I get big tears, and my heart just breaks.... I just would give anything if I could go in and get her.... I never thought I would never have her....! She was such a big part of our life.... I guess that's why I can't think of getting another one..... at least not for awhile..... take care of your babies..... xoxoxo
-
A FLEA???? Oh Dang! Where there is one, there is a million! We don't have them in these parts.... I think the Winter's are too cold for them....
Then on the other hand, you guys live in a Petri Dish.... Ha! EVERYthing grows there...! I LOVED your humidity, and found out "things" hurt around here.... The altitude must make aches and pains more prevalent ....I like that word.... probably spelled wrong...speaking of Cammi.... but the weather here is going to be getting pretty COLD soon!
Hey Mag, and Tang & you other gals! xoxo
-
Oh Smarrty, what a great pic !!!! I need more vegetables. This I know, but basically I dislike them. Always tolerated them before. Now I need them more than ever. Two more weeks before I can have the next blood test done. .....A sewing retreat, what a peaceful thought. How did Detroit go? Or did I miss that?
Tang, Magic __HUGS_
Chevy, my two jokes about hearing loss 1. the car always runs well until it gets very serious. Dh had to learn that one the hard way. By the time I told him something didn't sound right, the repair bill was much higher. 2. I always missed out on the really good gossip. The first thing people do when gossiping is lower their voices. The better the gossip the lower the voices.
-
Sassy, this is one of the breakfasts at Hash House A Go-Go in Orlando.... Their food is incredible.
But do you need hearing aids? They are just hard when so much noise is going on in a room.... I'm so glad we could eat out on the Patio at "our" restaurant.
I just thought that one day my hearing would come back.... but I'm just so used to it now... they said it would be permanent... but I didn't want to believe that.
-
I PROMISE one of the days I will catch up here. It has been a busy couple of weeks nothing bad except my danged car. I think I told you it almost caught fire on DH week b4 last. Brake part failed. Back to dealer. Then we went to Oklahoma last weekend, dentist yesterday. Just here and there.
Mostly got on here to wish safety to Tang. I think the weather has just passed her. Almost springlike storms, lots of trees, roof damage, electrical lines down throughout the metroplex. Had nothing here but a couple of spits of rain. I'm going to have to go water in a bit.
Hopefully I will catch up this weekend. DH home tomorrow which always affects my computer time. He used up 2 weeks vacation in Sept. Can you tell we never go anywhere much. Fun times tomorrow - off to get flu shots.
My love to everyone. Chevy - you must have already come and gone to Orlando.
-
Chevy, my hearing loss was picked up in childhood. I learned to "train" people. The hardest was in the operating room. With masks that cut down on me reading lips etc. But eventually, they learned. I get them tested every few years. The most irritating is DS, he's the only thing I've not been able to train him to do.
That dinner is awesome. I have visitors coming from Norway, Oct 25 th., dear cousins husbands sister. Planning for awhile. I asked what they might like for dinner. She said something "All American". The fried chicken with waffles is apparently a well known southern dish.
Any suggestions? They are apparently well seasoned world travelers. I had to laugh at the All American. I googled it. The list that came up, all has origins from other cultures.
HI! How did your lunch go??????? Glad you're back on the tarmac or is it grass?
-
Oh I just hate it when my furbabies are sick. Makes me feel helpless that I can't cure them of whatever is ailing them and then I feel like a bad mommy!
-
@22222 put up the list. Are you near Dallas----I forget.
The shits hitting the fan over the Ebola thing. P.O.'d they are laying it off on the nurse about not communicating it to the doc on the Thursday(not Friday) ER visit. It was in the record. Problem is the docs ignore the triage notes. Besides the Er doc is trained to ask the same things. The doc missed it. Can't even believe antibx's were prescribed. All the GI symptoms and a fever. Someone seeing a doc in ER after being in a highly infectious area and the patient didn't drop ANYTHING in the interchange to the doc. Hardly. The traffic in and out of the patients room would not have taken special precautions. Should have, but ER's see sooooooo many patients with fever and abdominal problems, nausea and vomiting. Then when the family member tried to alert the CDC and then locals. SNAFU. How was the EMS unit dispatched. Those tapes are still on the record. Can't believe a media type doesn't know this.
Things are going to get way messier. Not fueling fires. But anyone that believed there were only 12-18 contacts as being reported on this Wed., was just being ridiculous. Even the 100 identified, ridiculous. Hope there's no more, but there likely will be. Presbyterian never has identified how the patient was handled in ER and the ER waiting room. The household people were exposed in the most infectious time period. Four- five kids over wed. the 25th thru Sun 29th. ......Then they went to four different schools for two days. Whose to know if they had symptoms. Time will obviously tell.
Today the girlfriend was saying no one has contacted them to tell them what to do with the sheets. DUH. Why didn't CDC direct and monitor apartment clean up. Why was there a delay from Sunday till Wed. As soon as he was known to have been from Liberia ----which they knew Sunday night, all the control mechanisms should have been activated. There should have been an over reaction. The retrospect study of this is going to produce a lesson plan. The "we shoulda's" are NOT going to show preparedness. It will take Presbyterian years to recover their reputation.
I guarantee al medical/ nursing folks will have better "communication" in the future......Just hope containment is real.
Add to that the Enterovirus in 40 states that is showing some mimicry of polio, and flu season. SOOOOO glad I'm retired
I do give Dallas kudos for activating their Emergency Operations Center. Smart move. Very smart.
-
Aww maybe so, I stay so confused.
-
NETTIE, is your friends pup a Maltese named Izzy?
CHEVY Oh. My. Dog! Do people actually order and EAT that concoction? That needs a pink ribbon to complete it. That's disgusting
-
Spookie, no, it's a little male yorkie named Bear!
Ok, had a long post and lost it!! UGH!!
My doctor told me to start walking, need to build strength and lose weight! So I started about 2 weeks ago! The first walk I made two miles with not much trouble! No soreness the day after! Skipped a day due to weather and walked the third day, this time I barely made 1 1/2 before the pain in my leg and hip became severe! I made it home and almost within minutes of stopping, the pain was gone and there was no residual soreness! I've continued to try to walk at least 4 - 5 days a week, but the more I walk, the distance that I can go before the pain kicks in is less and less! Today I barely made a mile and the only way I made it was by stopping a few times!! And again, I've no residual soreness and not even in muscle issues! Of course, I'm probably not walking for enough to give my muscles a workout!! Just curious if anyone else has experienced this!
On another note, found out last night that my DIL is giving her little Yorkie away (I can't take him), he has been part of our family since at least 2009, don't remember exactly when they got him!! She says she doesn't have time for him now that she has a baby and another on the way!!! Just kills me!! I've always had animals, even when my kids were babies and I never had problems (and no she doesn't work, she is a stay at home mom) I'm just so heartbroken that she and my son can do this!! I could NEVER give away a pet, heck, I have a hard time giving away kitties that are raised here!! Anyway, I just think their generation is a little lazy! I love my kids and their spouses, but this just has me so upset!! If I didn't already have 6 dogs and about 20 cats, maybe I could consider taking him, but the fact that he is also and inside dog makes it even harder as DH has requested that I not have anymore inside dogs!! Anyway, I just needed to get that off my chest!! I cried all last night over this, it's like losing a family member for me, don't know why they can't see it that way!! And to top it off, in the text that she sent to tell me all of this, she then tells me that they will eventually get another dog, but it will be an outside dog! I think she forgot that they already did this and guess where that one ended up, yep you guessed it, she is now mine!! I will have talk with DS about all of this when I have a chance!! It's just not right!! At least that's my opinion!!
Sas, I agree with everything you said about the crap in Dallas! It's a scary time!! I have close friends that live in the Dallas area!!
Luv, I think that weather will be headed my way about midnight tonight! Yay me, I just love rough weather in the middle of the night when you can't see anything! NOT!!!
Chevy, that is some kind of food! I've never seen anything like it!!
And yes, SAS, isn't it weird that most "american" foods are NOT! LOL
Hugs to all that need them!!
-
drive by posting......
Smaarty, . Amazing! All the hard work paid off!
Chevy, thanks for great food pics, gotta get dinner going. That fried chicken looks so much better than the plain chicken and rice I'm making tonight for dinner.
Hoping to get to Dad's this weekend, no BIG projects planned so I can get caught up. Will try to post new roll call list at the beginning of the month.
For those not on Pinktober, check this out:

Thank you Dr Susan Love.
Gotta run.....
-
Nettie I'll take the yorkie if you can't find a home. We can figure it out.
-
Can you say road trip? No, it isn't right, poor pup!
Hmmmm American food Waffle House with a side of grits? Berns? LOL
-
aww thanks but they found someone. Believe it or not, they lived for more than two years in St. Augustine while my son was in school at USA.
He really is a good little dog, I still can't comprehend how they can give him away. My pets are part of my family and this little guy has spent a lot of time around me, since they lived in out cottage for over a year and then we have kept him anytime they went anywhere and then they would also bring him over every time they came. I'm just so sad about it.
See he WAS their child.
-
Okay, nettie, I get the sadness.....never would give up a furbaby. -
This would be me. From Warm and Fuzzy thread
-
Spookie yes that would be me too!! the most spankings that I have given my granddaughter has been over how she treats my animals! I didn't allow my kids to squeeze or carry around my puppies or kitties and I won't have my grandkids doing it!!
-
PaPa was SUPPOSED to be watching GS#1, who had been telling me SPOOKIE had been flying. Oh? How did Spookie do that? He showed me. Spook was about 5 months old, 5#.
I didn't know who to smack first. Both kids have been smacked for improper behavior with my dogs, other gma does too.
-
Yes, Spookie that happens here too when Papaw is supposed to be watching!! I'm with you, I don't know who to smack first! LOL
I think it's important for kids to learn how to behave around animals, it teaches them things!
-
Yeah. That dumb stuff like respect, feelings, pain.
Don't mess with my 2 legged or 4 legged kids, or mama bear will get you.
-
American food I thought chicken and dumplings or fried chicken or chicken fried steak. Can you tell I cook southern? Spookie what is "Berns"? I just don't get the chicken/waffles. Not something I could dig into. Separate yes, together no. Making hash brown potato soup for this "cold" weather. I guess American food would be quail, turkey, trying to think of a native vegie. Corn!!!

This last looks like fine reading for a damp chilly day. But the topics at the top look really interesting.
Nettie - so sad about little Yorkie boy. I've seen a couple of cute boys for adoption but I've always had females. No lifting of the leg. Mine just does not potty inside but throws up regularly. Nervous terrier. Hope little guy gets a good home. At least if you get the storms during the night might be less severe. Lots of damage straight line winds, a couple of maybe very weak tornadoes. Moved so quick so no flooding. I watered the back yard tonight. So true about pets. Little Terra had her teeth cleaned when she boarded over the weekend.
Sassy I live northwest of Ft Worth, Tang lives just a little NE of Dallas so we are on opposite sides of the metroplex.
Sassy - I worked for a sister hospital to Texas Health Presbyterian. Not ER but palliative care. I would think I would be running to the doc wild eyed - Doc I got one!! Yes I wondered about the ABT for a viral infection. Hmmm. Well and yes they basically have them under house arrest (my words not official). I think I read that one of the children went to school yesterday (Wed). I can't find it but I'm sure it was on local TV website. Read that amb. dispatch is questioning any callers with Ebola like symptoms for an extensive travel hx. Listened to conference call between CDC, local Presby doc and county judge. Have cleaning crew doing apt and they steam cleaned/"power washed" the sidewalk today. It's been mid 90's all week, doubt any virus survived long out in open. If you heard anything about a "2nd case" it was some twit teenager pulling a prank that now has him knee deep in you know what.
-
LOL Berns is a VERY expensive high class restaurant in Tampa. All the dignitaries, rich and famous eat there when in town.
I can't fry chicken worth a hoot. But talk to me about some home cured, 6 month or older ham, red eye gravy, scratch biscuits, um hum. My grandfather wouldn't cut a ham untill it was cured at least a year. I like most southern foods, except greens and bugs. I understand Southernese better than I speak it.
-
Yep, my FB feed is loaded with Ebola stuff. I follow the local CBS and ABC stations and it is non-stop ebola stuff. I think everyone is pissed and scared that the guy came into the country to begin with. With that said, he's here shows up at the ER and is turned away after the staff was told he was recently in Africa??There is a Presbyterian here in Rockwall close to where I live and that is where most of my surgeries and hospitalizations have been. I love the hospital, have had good experiences there....but I agree not sure how Presby will recover from this.
Nettie, I'm glad the dog found a home.
LVMG-The storm was fast and intense, but we didn't get any damage out here.
