    Rose, very cute story about DD3. The spices used in Indian food can be overwhelming for little one's taste buds.

    Goats, sorry about the neighbor. How long have you known them? I have a question about tea for you and Zill. Have either one of you tried olive leaves tea?

    GOOD Morning :) Busy next few days with Birthdays. Everyone gets to be another year older. Has a special meaning to us all :) Queenie today, Spookie -14th, Kathindc- 16th. Have I got that right?

    Loverly, sleeping well. I'm generally up about every 4 hours. It's a normal thing. Baclofen so far so good during the day. Headaches are definitely inside versus scalp. Once the baclofen relax the skull muscles, I could tell the difference. But getting better every day. The MRI fixed the tinnitus on the left. Waited this long to say anything, didn't want to put the jinx in. It's been since last Wed. Hope it's permanent. Hummingbirds are special :)

    Well, I guess now Phylloblizzard is probably digging her way out. We just had fires and wind gusts in the 40's . Very high chance of fires today to.

    Mags, love your pictures, looks like it will all go together

    Oh wait....... Yes Cubbie.... Judy, said if she had to stay there, she would keep the same room-mate... THIS place is on one level... very tiny, and not 1/2 as nice as the Taj-Majal- Assisted Living place where she was... I really don't know why she wants to go back there...!

    I think the room might stay the same?

    I don't know how that works there.... They couldn't move them BOTH, could they? Very noisy where she is...right by the nurses station.... And the BELLS keep driving my hearing aids NUTS!

    But they are always doing something WITH these people.... They all gather around the tables to get their nails done.... Exercises, the "beauty-shop" is always busy.... She really has no complaints....

    We'll go see her in the morning.... Whatever makes her happy.... but I want her to be safe, also.

    Queenie, happy birthday!

    Beatmon, when it all comes together you will have to come over for tea. Or wine. Maybe just a beer. Cousin wants to take a picture of me in my pretty blue flower chair but I wouldn't let her yet. She's going to help me tuck everything in as I just run out of oomph. And the ottoman cover needs hemming, it's a bit too long. No biggie.

    I started bird watching not long after we got married. We would visit his folks in northern Indiana. His dad would sit at the kitchen table by the patio doors and watch the birds at the feeders. He knew which birds liked what, and had feeders for each kind that visited. He didn't like me much at first, so I would sit there and let him teach me about his birds, and he liked that, and over the years he came to be fond of me. After he was gone I inherited his bird books. I put up feeders here, but since BC dx they are sadly neglected.

    Loverly - You must keep a darned good calendar lol. Not heard of olive leaf tea. Tell me about it. Had one cup of Yorkshire Gold and just made me one cup of drip coffee - oh so good. The neighbors - they lived across the street with street being relative in the country. The busy street, not our little cul de sac. I would guess the wife has to be in her late 90s - in a NH down near Houston. DH passed many years ago maybe 12-15. They were church members where I go but were already pretty inactive d/t age when we moved in. Came by and introduced themselves. Distantly related to my stepfather who is from the area. Big property 48+ acres though I'm not sure of what's what. Some cattle leased and still has cows so maybe that guy bought that. That was b4 I knew how to access the county property rolls. Anyway the house/48 acres has to have sold - off market per real estate. The man just across from me - think about a T intersection. I'm one corner of the crossbar, he's the other cross bar. Long arm our street, crossbar street is the busy street older neighbors lived on. Anyway he was haying the property probably just to keep it nice looking/fire danger down, it costs to fertilize/bale so bet he was getting the profits. Anyway he moved all the hay to his place. They knocked the house down a few weeks back and have been working today/yest like something is about to happen. I may see one of the older church ladies who lives just up the hill from me tonight at church meeting. Sure like to find out what she might know. It was for sale with "development possible" in the ad unlike a few years back when it was single family. I have to go to county seat sometime this month or next to pay the property taxes. Will be sure to inquire how platting procedure begins so I can keep abreast. Oddly enough I'm in one precinct and it's in another. Not that I can't go to commissioners meetings anyway lol.

    Beatmon - hold onto your hat. Next week is supposed to be a doozy starting Monday. I hear deep plains snow. Our wind is much better today. Chilly in the shade but very nice in the sunshine.

    Nope Mags that went WHOOP over my head lol. I have sadly neglected my feeders. My fav. wood one has been invaded x2 by wasps. Maybe this winter I can get it cleaned out again. My goldfinches seem so have flown the coop the last couple of years. I hear them in the trees but even with fresh seed they're not interested.

    Started cleaning out houseplants to bring in. Oh my several have major ant invasions. I took one a hibiscus and flooded the heck out of it. Need to see if it did any good. The others are too big for me to move, DH has to use a dolly to get them in. I do have ant spray and it's not like they are edible. Can stay outside for a few days and out gas.

    Chevster - I forgot to thank your for posting the youtube of the dancing turtle. That was the exact one I laughed so hard at.

    Now I have to get something done around here. DH is off tomorrow and I'll probably get the you know what for the state this house is in. At least I did the dishes last night lol and PTL he has clean tidy whities done in the dryer.

    Chevy, posted on constipation thread. It's a tough question and I gave you a tough response. Hope something helps.

    Jwooo okay we will catch you next time. Is DBF recovered from the death of his Mom?

    LOVERLY, I jinxed myself no tinnitus for a week, I say something, and it's back with a vengeance. Phooey!

    Beatmom, LMG, Mema, Phylis, Patty, Cubbie all take care. Lay up some supplies.

    Chevster - rather than clog up (Pun intentional) the constipation thread with something I'm sure they've heard. I use Fiber Therapy caps (same as Metamucil ones) from WalMart. Cheap, effective, swallow and forget. Must take with some water though. Anything he likes to drink besides beer? Any juice, flavored water? I hate cold water in the winter. I drink my jug water room temp in the winter. How's your tap water tasting? Maybe try a couple of bottles of Ozarka or local filtered spring water. At least you would drink up what he didn't and not expensive. The most expensive bottled water is cheaper than medical care for this for sure. I have a stubborn one too though not Italian - more German, hot headed Appalachian Hatfield mentality. The GI doc made me get these. Pharmacy did have to special order but more for my hemorrhoids than constipation but in the end (!!) all inter-related. Calmol 4 hemmorrhoid supp. Might accidentally find them at local drugstore but I had no luck despite GI doc saying they were there.

    I would gag if I had to drink Gatorade. Hate the stuff and not so sure with the sodium content it would be greatest for your DH.

    Praying that some solution happens. Can't be fun for him. Does he have any solution far out as it might be? What else could you be doing rather than sitting on the toilet trying to poop? OR Do you know how Elvis died?
