JaneS she says she would want it when i do and that would not be good. she is a penny puncher so when I said we could buy another one she said O NO. I told her ok after we get going  one of us can use the one hooked up to T V with H D M I. we have one laptop hooked up to the T V and get good movies on you tube
or type in a title.that gets movies up about one year or so old. we also use it to play cards like free cell. we coach other,sometimes her and sometimes I have the mouse. we have wireless mouse and keyboard for it. works pretty good except no exercise getting up and down. not too bad.

Lloyd

LLOYD, that sounds like a plan to me.

LARRY, I'm pretty sure the yelling relieves something inside me!  And it isn't really yelling.  It's things like, "OK, just sit there doing nothing and see if I care."  or "If you don't wanna work, neither do I."  Once in a while I growl a little.

Good Morning Everyone!

Here it is, a brand new day for us to use anyway we desire.  Hopefully I put it to good use.

Well I finally got my cataract surgery all scheduled, although, not to my liking.  My first one is on the 29th of December and the second one is on the 22 January.  And I wont even go into the followup dates.

They emailed my meds in to pharmacy that I will need after the surgery and my wife picked them up and also got her flu shot and then walked off and left the meds.  Fortunately they found them so I will pick them up this morning and get my flu shot.  More to this story, since wife made a trip to store and they couldn't find them.
It was panic time since they are pretty expensive and insurance wont pay twice.

Suppose to rain here this afternoon and tomorrow, so I am going to move trash can to front so it will be ready for pickup tomorrow morning.  Didn't put it out last week and it is smelling pretty strong.

Larry, as you know there is many ways to do many functions on computers and break one isn't one of them.  You may freeze it or mess up a function but you aint gonna break it and if you do it enough you learn how not to mess things up.   

But strangely the older I get the less interested I am in getting involved in the operation of the thing.  I think that facetime and other "social" boards has caused part of that.  Used to the family would send out emails with family goings on and lots of pictures of the family, now we get zip.  I used to save all the pictures and make little video's of them (Jackwv taught me a lot).  I haven't made a video is years, it seems, and not sure I could anymore.

Well hope everyone has a great day.



P.S.  Amy and others, would love to visit on Skype
only way will ever get to meet face to face.

I have a call into the patients advocate at my doctor's office.  They are dropping my insurance company as it has been bought out by another larger one.  A larger one that will not cover me unless I enroll - but here is the sticker. It is only in this area and I wouldn't be insured in, for instance, Tucson. 

Don is working on this --- hooray, he is the only one who understands this and he could advise some politicians but they ignored his warnings of going into default. 

Bubble:  Truly, a beautiful picture.  Thank you so very much our cyber pal!!!

Good Afternoon,

I've caught up with the tragic news from and about Vegas.  Local stations met incoming planes at the airport and interviewed Oklahomans returning from there. Also, the OKC mayor was there for a conference.  However, his hotel wasn't near the Mandolay so he wasn't affected (and didn't know about it until he turned on the tv) - other than that the conference was cancelled.

A carton on the Op-Ed page this morning showed a very sad "Uncle Sam" dragging a trail of papers with headlines listing the number of massacres in recent months.
This is way over the "very serious" limit.

Hal,  I suggest we put our OK/TX bet on hold until your health issues have been seen to.   Prayers and good wishes for better days ahead.

Hard to believe it's October and we're still wearing summer clothes.  Haven't even turned on the heat in the mornings, yet.

I'm being useful today...................by staying out of the way of the housecleaner.  Here she comes; time to switch locations.

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day and Feeling Gooood.    

Callie you would deprive me of rubbing it in should Tx win...

Hal,  well - with the OU/TX showdown coming up, it's tempting.  But if you're up for it....so am I!
Want me to put last Saturday's score on your tab?

yep....I'm tough I can take it.....

Good evening, just finished Supper. Sun is starting to go down, and I started this before 2, just kept getting interruptions.

Joy glad to read you had such a nice time with your family.

Jane, I think you were what I call happy tired

Bubble, thanks so much for our new page.  I like the graphic and joke.

Gloria, I hope you are able to get back soon.  I look foreward to your daily post.

Lloyd, my husband was afraid he would do something to mess up the computer. He like to play the casino games always had me turn it on and off.

June, always glad to see your post, and you know how to use word beautifully. You make everyone feel good.
Larry, maybe it was just me, but it was a thrill to see the 3 presidents
laughing and talking to each other and the visiting with the players and some of the crowd.

Hal. I hope everything get settled with you.I know how we get days we are not happy with.

I'm here..had a good day I think, I can't remember what I did, but here goes.....Woke up at six, had the first meds and the patch. Did my massage and arm and leg exercises. A lapse here...I know I did NOT do my daily reads and prayers. God must be frowning on me for sure. I did get the body dressed and down for our monthly residents meeting. It went very well, so I stayed down for an early lunch. Ate outside...delicious bacon/hamburger, salad, waffle fries. Good company. Our new Pastor sat with three of us. He is so open and warm and human...as was our last Pastor. Arrived home about 1p.m.. opened book, closed eyes and came back to life around three p.m., so went downstairs for coffee and book outside on glider...getting legs exercised...then home by 4:30 to do some pedicure work on toenails......are you bored yet ??.....Now I will have left over lunch, and I am "in" for the rest of the day.

Hal, I do hope those expensive meds turn up. I did my husbands eyes after his surgery so when the time came of "widow-hood" I managed to do my own medications. My dear doctor said if I used too much medicine accidently not to worry about it, so I managed fine. Even drove myself home after surgery...very carefully, and very thankful when I pulled safely into my own driveway. God is so kind the way He takes care of us.

Now he is telling me to go feed myself and get ready for bed and book. Unless I think of something else I need to share...it is hard for me to say Goodnight.

I went for zpples todzy znd the roadside stznd is closed for the season.  Their mzin store is open yezr round but it's about 20 miles away out in the country at an area with which I'm not familiar.  So I went to another farm store and I got the one kind of apples that I like for applesauce but I like to mix them and they didn't have the other kind.  So I'm going to the Farmers Market tomorrow to see if I can get the ones I like to mix.

I did get a crook neck pumpkin for pies....one for me and one for Cindy.  Cindy's is all packed up and ready to take a trip to Texas.  Seems they don't grow the kind we like for pies in Texas and I've sent her pumpkins every year since she moved there.  We drove all over in the years that I spend in Texas looking for pumpkins and no one has them.  At least, we never found them.

Now I'm off to bed.  Good night Everyfriend and may God bless us, every one!

Good night Janie and all, some one will be in soon to turn off the lights, I'm sure, but I am off to bed. I wish you all peace, Comfort, and may God keep us all safely in his loving Hands. Hugs and love, always, June

June, no doubt about it: you have a little Angel blood in you.  Thank goodness we get to share you. 

Oh, I (the pharmacy) found the meds and while I was there I got my flu shot.

Janie, see your "a" key came up missing for a short while, but the "Z" filled in very well. 

Nite everyone, God Bless and Sweet Dreams.

Good morning Everyfriend!  It's a cold morning in central PA....way down in the high 30s overnight.  I'm not looking forward to freezing temps.

HAL (and everyone else who notices) My A key is perfect.  It's a problem with my little finger.  Something is drawing it in towards my palm and if I'm not careful, I type a Z instead of an a.  I wasn't being vigilant last night.  If I'm not czreful, everything comes out with zs.  I'm going to hzve to have it fixed but it doesn't hurt and I'm putting it off until after Christmas.  Too much to do not to have the use of one hand.

Come to think of it, the zzzzs hzve been in short supply on the sofa lztely.  Maybe this is where they've gone!

We're currently waiting out the doggies pill and as soon as they are fed and I'm dressed, I'll be off to look for apples.  Then home to begin cooking for applesauce. 

I hope you all have a great day.  Just visiting the Farmers Market will make my day!

 JaneS don't be worried , just try what i do. one or to fingers on each hand.
Having big fingers sometimes i hit two keys at same time. my worst thing is spelling (Nancy how do you spell ? ) I mess it up so bad spell ck cam't fix it.
you all over look me so we can return the favor. I was too busy in English class trying to empress the girls never learned it. can't teach a old dog new tricks.
Have a grate day. we had a little sprinkle early this A M. it is 72º here now @
6:39 A M saying 72º for the high.

Lloyd

Good morning everyone..

A beautiful rainy day here,I slept in but woke to the sound of the rain and the lovely smell of it.

Playing catch up today on little chores about the house and may squeak in some sewing. Finished a camp quilt yesterday so on to another quilt.

Jane, have fun at the Farmers Market!!

Enjoy your day everyone..

Good morning. Pretty sunny day out today.

I will be without any electric from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. today.  The power company is doing work in our area, so we received a notice about the electricity being off for that time period.  Tomorrow they will be flushing the fire hydrants, so we will have the water turned off for most of the day.  So glad this only happens once a year.  I have to remember to have some buckets of water ready to be able to flush the commode.  I have a walk-in shower, so no bathtub to fill up.  I will survive, I am sure. 

I have had my coffee and checked my e-mail and have my Kindle all charged up, so I will spend most of that time reading.  I won't be able to go outside as the elevator won't be working.  Hopefully, it won't be off as long as they are predicting and I will be able to go out to enjoy some sunshine a little later. 

Jane, hope you find lots of goodies at the Farmer's Market.  And, Amy, hope you succeed in "playing catchup".   You sure can finish up a quilt fast.  I still have a lot of unfinished tops that I can't seem to get back to. 

Hope you and all the other friends will have a wonderful day.

Joy

Hi Everyone.  It is another nice and beautiful day here in South Carolina and it isn't suppose to get out of the low 80's this afternoon. I had a long morning at the doctor's office as my appointment was for 10:30 but it was noon before the doctor made it into the room.  She apparently had an emergency that required here presence in the cath lab.  I don't mind the wait as I realize that someday it might be me who needed her immediate attention.  With my iPhone I something to keep me occupied.  When she got to me she spent probably half and hour with me. After my last appointment with her she had ordered an overnight oximeter test and it showned my oxygen level at night had gone down to 69.  So she is contacting my lung doctor and wants me to start using oxygen with my CPAP machine.  She also wants me to suspend using the Renexa medication to see if it could be part of the problem why I am so weary and have shortness of breath when I do anything. 

Today will be a day of stay home and take it easy to try to recover from the last three days that were pretty busy, at least for me.  We do have dinner at the church this evening and then Scott and Jennifer will likely come out for a couple of hours.  Pat will go to the Church this morning for her crafts group.  Their bazaar is coming up later this morning so they are meeting every week until that is over. 

Lloyd, we all would have been healthier if they had never invented the remote control. I have never hooked my computer up to the TV as don't mind watching the videos on my computer or even my iPhone using headphones. 

Hal, I will see my eye doctor next week so maybe after that will have a better idea of when I will have my cataracts removed.  I am ready to have them removed. I hope I can get mine scheduled before the end of the year. I plan on getting my flu shot tomorrow after my 9 am medical appointment if I have enough time before picking up Pat and going to another medical appointment. Unfortunately we have to keep our trash cans in our garages in this neighborhood.  I do have a good sized airtight container next to the trash can where I can put any scraps that will likely become smelly.  That good old reboot or turn off and restart ability on the computer fixes a lot of problems.  Often the problem may have nothing much to do with what we have done as programs can get a bit mixed up.

Carol, that sounds like a terrible situation with your health insurance.  Medical costs are way to high not to have health insurance so hope you can find insurance that covers you both places. 

Callie, there really isn't a way to keep an individual from harming others if they decide to do so.  If not guns they can use other things as weapons.  You sound like me in staying out of the way of the housekeeper.  I stay in my office until she is ready to clean it and then vacate to another part of the house.  She usually starts with the master bedroom so after I eat lunch I will often go to lay down for the afternoon even before she leaves.  Sometimes Pat and I will leave to have lunch while she is still here. She is very trustworthy and locks up the house when she leaves if we aren't here. 

deAngel, I never could get either of my folks interested in the computer.  I agree with you in that we may disagree on ideas but we sure don't have to be disagreeable to other people.  Life for most of us is a lot more than politics. 

June, I bet God didn't mind you missing one day of your daily reads and prayers. It sounds like you had a pretty full and enjoyable day. 

Jane, I hope you can find the apples you want today.  Texas climate must not be right for pumpkins.  As I type I often duplicate a letter.  Guess my hands must shake a little bit. 

Amy, nothing wrong with sleeping in on occasion.  I slept late this morning and then after my shower I needed to lay down and rest again for several minutes so it was much later than usual when I had breakfast. 

Joy, the utility work is being done all at once.  At least it will soon be over.   

Good Morning Everyone!
Well the rain return late yesterday afternoon and we got a couple of brief showers an then stopped until this morning and it has been raining ever since I got up.  Wife had an early dentist apmt 8 AM and she just got bsck.  I baked some breakfast rolls, pumpkin and the looked great but not alot of pumpkin flavor.  They changed packaging and it is a mess to get into the rolls and the rolls themselves didn't come apart very easily.  Oh well finally got them apart and baked.

Amy how do you catch up on doing nothing.  That seems to be my problem any more. 

We have a cold front on the way but don't know when it will get here and this time of year they don't have much affect for very long.

Janie, I was just rattlin your chain, wasn't making fun, sorry if I offended.  I didn't intend to.  I get my fingers on the wrong keys sometimes and you should see the mess I make.

I had plans to get car inspected and new registration but the rain changed that, unless it clears up this afternoon.  I need to go down and pick up some meds and that is about it.

Everyone have a great day.

Not offended, HAL.  I can take a joke.  I can also make one on myself now and then. 

I'm back from the Farmers Market and I got the apples I wanted.  Now I'll be busy for the next couple of days.  Better get going!

Good Morning dear hearts, I have read all your messages and happy to see you are all well and happy. I am headed down for our weekly Bible study. Jeff is our teacher this week. He is always a treat to listen to and to learn from.

I pray your day is one of the Best Ever, and we will gab some more later.

By gosh, howdy, folks!  Had quite a start when I clicked to come here.... took me to a MAY post.  Not sure how it happened but had Joan's avatar smiling at me & took my brain a few seconds to realize "something's wrong~~"

Been raining off & on all night/day, we need it but not exactly at this moment.  I am working on the RV to be ready for a trip to MO, have 2 in the works for Oct & don't want to miss either.  Think (not sure) I mentioned finding a football size piece of the dome over the shower missing.  So far haven't found a trace of water inside but very likely it is running into the "head lining" like it did with the Rialta when that dome had a tiny crack.  Bought a replacement from the place I bought the RV, wrong size/type.  Took it back next day & a very nice man at the desk offered to make it "leak proof" for the trip (new part has to be ordered).  Just now when I was taking some of the clean linens out, I noticed the patch he put on (inside & out).... was laying on the top of the skylight NOT stuck to the inside of the dome.  I'll have to climb the ladder again to see if the outside (he promised it wouldn't leak).... looks like it can take the 75+mph wind driving across Kansas.  Top that with weather can't decide to be hot or cold, rain or shine & y'all know what I mean about taking clothes for every type weather to be comfy!

My little redhead gr-grand broke her arm yesterday.... both bones.  just running at day care, happy.  Grandad (my son) says they have to wait a week for the swelling to go down, bones are clean break & cast will give her more freedom to play.  She isn't crying & doctor says the cast with have "sparkles" and everyone can sign.     All the gr-parents may need R & R to get over the calamity. 

I love rainy weather, great for sleeping, but so many jobs to do I'm seriously thinking of catching some zzzzzzzzzzzs first.  Oh, got to
tell you about "my" fish down in the river.  Been feeding them off & on again lately & was so tickled when son went down with me a couple days ago & showed total surprise at how many big catfish that came when I whistled.  BIG ones, heads bigger than my fist.  They came right to the bank & flipped & splashed to catch the bread.  They hang close if I whistle now & then and talk to them.  The cats watch as they splash, don't think they realize what they are. 

Jane, I broke down & bought a big apple pie at Sam's Club a few days ago.  Then I had to buy ice cream to go on it.  Not sure what kind of apples they use but I always bought golden delicious, didn't take as much sugar to sweeten like I like.... and they are soft when baked.  Somewhere I read that Mussleman's applesauce is made with golden & think it may be true, only applesauce I eat.  I am not a born cook like you & Gloria & all others in here.  My mother had applesauce on the table all the time, or a big bowl of prunes.  Had some kind of fruit every day, as well as plenty of veggies, meat ... Mom was a big fan of Adelle Davis "You Are What You Eat"... plus my father's mother grew all their veggies, including celery, okra, kale, grapes, etc.  They even ate dandelion greens along with the spinach & endive she grew.  Talk about growing up with the best foods available, in spite of war years....  I am totally running the wrong direction these years! It really isn't fun to cook for one............ such is life. 

Got to get busy, hope every friend finds something to smile about today.  God Bless!   Shirley 

REMEMBER WHEN..............?

DONKLAN  one of my all time favorite patriotic songs.  I sing it (in the shower and the kitchen) regularly.

That was great !   Donklan, thanks for sharing !

Joy

That was great, Don, and I recognized so many of the performers.  We needed that about now.

Mary Ann

Ah, Don..... brought tears to my eyes.  Always reminds me when I spent about 3 years "overseas", back in the day when we didn't call home .... and my brother & sister-in-law were on the dock to meet us in New York.  Took a long time to get off that troop ship & I had tears streaming down my face the whole time.  During WWII when my brothers were in the service it was a rule to not tell about any family death when they were away, but "call home" before coming, so no shocks.  I really feared my brother was there to tell me bad news.  Was not why, they had planned to pick us up and drive back to Missouri in time to have Easter all together.  Still get tears thinking what a fantastic family that made it happen.  God Bless America & thanks so much for the link.    

Good night Everyfriend and may God bless us, every one.  And may God Bless America!

Good Night Everyone. 

I wish we had that group of performers now days.  They were sincere in their patriotism and didn't mind putting it on display.

God Bless and Sweet Dreams

well I am following. I have my breathing loaded and am wishing you all a good night and sweet dreams. Hope to see you all tomorrow. It is 62º mostly cloudy here now high was 72º here today we we got short 2" rain today.
