Quote from: Denver on February 04, 2022, 11:45:59 AMLogged in again.....just do not understand WHY I have to do it each and every time I come in😩😡. It says Iam logged in forever🤪🤪

Jenny,
As I recall, there were two places to log in on that Log-in page. Whichever one you were using, try the other one.

Good luck on your A1C

MarsGal · February 04, 2022, 02:01:10 PM

That can't be very pleasant, Jenny. I hope it doesn't take nearly as long as it did for your plumber to get your hot water heater fixed. The plumbers here are being run ragged. They are having a hard time finding good help.

Day before yesterday I splurged and bought three new pairs of walking shoes which I badly needed. A Saucony, an Aetrex, and an SAS. Two black and one tan. One is waterproof. Now I am all set for my sister who is already looking through the this year's bus trip offerings. She has already spotted several possibilities.

We have been getting a mix of rain and freezing rain today. The weatherman claims we will have weather in the mid-40s starting on Monday and lasting through Saturday.

Marilyne · February 08, 2022, 02:33:28 PM

MarsGal - you must be getting lonely here in Bait and Tackle, all by yourself! When I'm the last poster in a folder and four days pass without a response, I start thinking about deleting my post! So far I haven't actually done it, because if you're patient, and wait long enough, someone will eventually leave a message.

Nothing much happening here, except spending some time watching the Olympics. I do like all the skating events. The Ice Dancing and the Pairs, are my favorites, but I also like the speed skating. There's a good selection of all other winter sports as well.

Here's hoping we see messages soon, from Jenny, Jean, Mary Page, Tomereader, Rick, Callie, Jackie, Sandy, Shirley, and all others who may be looking in.

Sandy · February 08, 2022, 02:45:39 PM

Hi therer Everyone. We certainly do
not want to see Bait and Tackle
go away for miss use.

All is well here on the rocky
coast in this month of February..
Not my favorite month, dut the
days are starting to get longer nowand that
is always a hopeful sign that Spring is
not too far away.

Of course here in Maine, real Spring
does not show up until after May 1st,
and then shortly come the long hot
days of Summer... so I can't complain too
much .. I love the seasons and don't like
it when we miss one.
I have lived in Florida and the North West
and really missed the seasons then. I enjoy
the switching from one to another.

Spoiled, I guess.

I am doing goood, how is everyone else
doing?

Sandy

RAMMEL · February 08, 2022, 03:51:31 PM

Bright and sunny around here today. No wind and it feels nice outside. It's a bit warmer and most of the snow is gone. Can't wait for next Month and Spring. Soon the early flowers should be peeking up.
Finally got to the dentist today. Had to get a three tooth bridge replaced. So far it feels OK and now I'll have to test it out on some late lunch.
Happy day to all.

Marilyne - Never remove a post (unless it's a bad one).

MaryPage · February 08, 2022, 05:46:20 PM

I love the 4 seasons, and really hated the two years Daddy was on River & harbor duty and we were stationed in Jacksonville, Florida. No Winter. The summers were too much, so Mama & I escaped to Virginia and Grandma's farm for those. That was 1938-1940. I still love Winters.

Went to the ophthalmologist today. Grueling visit, and still have Booble eyes from all the drops. My right eye is now half blind, and nothing to be done about it. PELLUCID MARGINAL DEGENERATION, not the Macular. This is too hard, so I am going to have to quit until tomorrow.

Denver · February 09, 2022, 12:05:14 AM

Tuesday is over and done......theses days just keep flying by.

I had PT today and as you know they have become more concerned about my inability to get my arm away from my body. My motion is fantastic when they do it, but I can not do it myself. They think I have axillary nerve palsy from my original fall. The trauma I had with them trying to get my shoulder back in the socket. I am to see my surgeon two weeks from yesterday, and they want me to try to see him sooner.....I do not know what this means.....is it permanent?? What can they do? Dang‼️. I am also still having some issues with my blood oxygen levels so I now have a appointment with a pulmonologist the middle of March. Kind of hard to keep up one's spirits😩😩😩

MARYPAGE, I am sad to read your news😩

Thank you RICK for your good wishes for my A1C! I have tried every way I can to keep logged in. 😩 Still had to log in again today. Hope the dental work today doesn't have you in pain. I need to get to the dentist also.....but my plate is a bit full right now😩🤪

MARILYN, we have been enjoying the Olympics as well. I would be happy if it only consisted of skating....love all of it. The girl from Russia, Kamilia and Nathan Chen are so wonderful to watch. Unbelievable 🦋

Hey, SANDY and COTTONCANDY.

Have a good night of rest💤💤

Jenny

MarsGal · February 09, 2022, 08:24:51 AM

I am happy to see some posts here again. Everyone has been so quiet, even on SeniorLearn. I sometimes think I am talking to myself.

Jenny and MaryPage, how disappointing that you are both are having problems that refuse to go away.

Sue called me last night to tell me one of her frequent lunch buddies and her husband are feeling ill and tested positive for COVID. They both had their shots. I think COVID has picked up around here some even though I read that overall it looks like it is diminishing.

We are looking into bus day trips again. There is one, MaryPage, that we like which goes to St. Michael's via Annapolis and boat trip. Another are the trip to Annapolis to spend time on a boat watching the Blue Angels, and one that goes directly to St. Michael's. I actually like the one that goes directly to St. Michaels so we can have more time to check out the lighthouse, museum and have a nice crab dinner. It looks like the other trip to St. Michael's only gives us around three hours to visit and eat. Not enough time for me, it think. All things considered, with COVID still about, I would rather not go at all. Even with my shots, I am ever so cautious about being out in crowds.

As far as Logging On - If you (or a program) are deleting COOKIES, that may be your problem.

Now a comment on the arm problem, --- If the tendons were not in the exact right place when they did the new joint it could affect the operation of the involved tendon. That might be why they want you to see your surgeon.
When I had my shoulder worked on they trimmed the acromion, which in effect shortens the length of your reach. If it is shortened enough the tendon must be reattached to compensate for the distance change. Does that make sense? It's hard to explain without a diagram. Anyway, because of my acromion trimming I can't raise my right arm above shoulder level. It will go higher if someone lifts it, or I use my left hand to lift it.

MaryPage · February 09, 2022, 02:02:35 PM

Ah! Thank you, Ramme! I have read and heard about folk who got banged up one way or t'other and had an arm that would not lift thereafter. Made no sense to very un-medical me, but this explains a lot. Jenny, ya better get on that asap. Wasn't Bob Dole a victim? Was John McCain?

Thank each of you who pray &/or send me wishes for a good outcome re my one eye.

I have a daughter who suffers from something called Sebo. She is 66, and the earlier cures she was given (from her personal physician and from a specialist whom she was referred to) are failing her now and she is at her wit's end. Have any of you ever had this? Did YOU find a cure? Or possibly you know of someone else who did?

A beautiful day here on the bay, but very crisply cold.

Marsgal, I would love to have you see this wonderful town, but I agree totally with you: St. Michaels should be done on its only. So take the all day there option, and do Annapolis another time. We are an all day just for us show, as well and all. If you are coming for a big show for the Blue Angels, that would be on Commissioning Week the end of May. I do not know the exact dates this year, but a quick perusal of my calendar tells me mebbe May 22nd through the 28th. That would bring the Blue Angels here to practice a good part of the day on the Tuesday, with their Big Demonstration on Wednesday, May 25th. Oh, I do so hope you will come then!

Commissioning Week is the week the Graduating Class of the United States Naval Academy are honored and get their diplomas.

Even though I am an Army Brat and cheer for Army ("ARM-MAY") on the dates "THE GAME" is held, I do so love this town and this area. When you go to the St. Michaels cruise event, you will be going to our Eastern Shore. (Easton Show) Maryland is almost split in two by the Chesapeake Bay, and thus I live on the Western Shore, where Annapolis sits and waits for you to come and pay homage.]]

Marilyne · February 09, 2022, 03:36:05 PM

Good to see so many posting here since my last message! Lots of interesting things to comment on.

Sandy - I agree with you . . . we don't want "Bait and Tackle" to go silent, like a few other folders have, here in S&F. I remember that Mary Ann Tock, was determined to keep things going here. I enjoyed reading her long interesting messages every day, and I still miss her.

MarsGal - Glad you didn't give up on B&T, after four days of silence! Your upcoming bus trip with your sister sounds like it will be lots of fun for both of you. It would be hard to choose from the two possibilities. I agree with Mary Page, that St. Michaels might be the best this time, and save Annapolis for next year.

Jenny - So sorry that you are having a continuing problem with your shoulder. Nerve palsy, sounds like a serious situation for you to face. I do hope that when you see your surgeon, that he will have some answers for you.

Rick - I have friends and family members who have had the shoulder surgery, and most have ended up like you - unable to raise their arm above shoulder level. It sounds like a common, but unhappy ending, to a necessary surgery. Maybe the total shoulder replacement has better results?

Mary Page - Curiosity made me go to Doctor Google, to find out exactly what Sebo is? I didn't find any information - but whatever it is, I hope that your daughter will soon find a cure. Sorry your visit to the opthalmologist, was not good news. Now I will have to revisit Google, and look up Pellucid Marginal Degeneration.

Cottoncandy - Good to see you posting here! Please return again and tell us more about yourself?

MaryPage · February 09, 2022, 04:50:26 PM

FlaJean · February 09, 2022, 08:20:45 PM

It has been warming a little. I don't like cold weather and don't miss having seasons. I didn't always feel that way, but the older I get the more I dislike cold weather.

Marilyne, do you stream the Olympics on NBC/Peacock? I haven't enjoyed the Olympics this time. Too much time is spent on commercials instead of the sports. I've wondered if I should have gotten the Peacock app. Right now they are showing curling on the business channel.

We've been having a lot of bombing (training) and an unusual amount of planes flying. it makes one wonder what is going on.

More advertisements——-. Have a good evening everyone.

MarsGal · February 10, 2022, 07:04:45 AM

Thanks for your input regarding St. Michaels, MaryPage. Sue has been to Annapolis; I haven't. Neither one of us has been to St. Michael's. Part of the St. Michael's trip includes a boat excursion with narrative about the local history and area ecology. I look forward to that. I guess I will have to stock up on bug spray. Mosquitoes just adore me.

I just saw in the online news that several big food companies are raising the prices for their products an average of 6%, looks like, and changing some of the package sizes. I saw Kraft, Oscar Myer and Mondelez listed in the article. Great! I just spent almost $150 at the grocery store and that didn't even include any cat stuff. Cat food and litter generally costs me around $120 once a month for the three of them.

Looks like the temps are bouncing around a bit the next 10 days. Right now it is 32^o and expected to get to about 50^o. Range for the coming days 29 to 61. This is the mid-February warm-up I used to take advantage of years ago to trim my fruit trees and bushes. I still think of it every year. Peach, pear, Japanese plum, blueberries, raspberries, and later in the spring, culling my several strawberry beds. Those were the days.

MaryPage · February 10, 2022, 10:19:27 AM

When you get to St. Michael's, I will be across the bay to the west and slightly north of you. Just down the pike apiece to the east of St. Michael's is Easton. I have two granddaughters living there, and four great grandchildren. One of my daughters lives in Claiborne over there on the Shore. Two things I strongly, no, make that three: three things I strongly dislike about the Eastern Shore: 1) It is one heated up and streaming mess of cars trying to get to the ocean to cool off on weekends. Me, I stay home and stay cool. These cars come pouring across the Shore from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore and the larger cities, mostly. 2) Most of the chicken feeding the East comes from the flat, flat acres of the Shore. Their excrement is one of the main poisoners of our beautiful bay. We eat chicken and kill off the fish and shellfish that used to fill the bay. Now we have these humongous "ead zones" in the bay: water that contains no oxygen, and so no fish can exist therein. On the one hand, mankind is extremely short-sighted and selfish. On the other, mankind is dirtying up their own nests and feeding grounds (mankind's) to their own detriment! Blows my mind, it does! What tremendous changes (and not for the better) I have seen in my 92 years! 3) The Shore is as flat, for the most part, as a cookie sheet. I confess to being a child of the Blue Ridge, and I miss those sweet, ancient mountains. They are really just rolling, tree-covered hills that are a bit taller than other hills you see. That is because they are so old that, like me, their one-time heights have crumpled down to much lesser numbers. I know, when I see a photo of a rock-clad peak, that that is a mountain I am looking at; but I yearn to be encircled by those that protected me snug in my valley back in the day. "Oh, Shenandoah, I long to SEE you!"

MaryPage · February 10, 2022, 10:22:09 AM

I don't know what happened to the D I know I put in there, but they are called "DEAD Zones."

CallieOK · February 10, 2022, 11:18:17 AM

Good Morning,

MarsGal and MaryPage, oh, I do hope the sightseeing trip comes to be. I really miss doing that.

Jenny, I'm so very sorry about your shoulder issues.

Rammel, interesting facts about the tendons during surgery. I've mentioned this to #2 son, who is still having problems with a hip and leg following double fusion back surgery last summer. Doctors keep saying it's a "nerve" but, after reading your comments, I'm wondering....

Nothing new in my world to comment on so my contribution this morning is a link to a live webcam of a Bald Eagle nest near Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The eagle pair have returned to this nest they built a couple of years ago. Mama looks as if she's laying eggs.

Oklahoma Bald Eagle Cam

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend.

Denver · February 10, 2022, 01:08:58 PM

Good morning 🦋

It is a beautiful day here again today. Sure feels good and lifts my spirits🥰. Today Bob and I have dermatology appointments. Hoping for no surprises, of course.

I thank you all for your supportive comments on my ongoing shoulder issue! I sure do appreciate you all. I just want to be able to tell you it is ALL GOOD and never have to discuss it again🤪🤪🤪

RICK, I appreciate your offers to get a solution to my log in problems, but so far nothing has helped. I think it is operator error, to be honest! Ugh! I thank you for sharing your shoulder issues. I know there was some tendon or the like that they would normally wraparound this new reverse shoulder however it was too shredded to use and they told me it was not pertinent to my shoulder to help it work, but could have certainly assisted😩.

There are two skaters that Ifeel are phenomenal, Nathan Chen from the USA and Kamala Valienva from Russia, a 15 year old gal! They both have won Gold Medals, how ever there is a question about the Russian as she tested positive for a drug before she skated. Something to help the heart be stronger😩😩😡 My heart dropped when I heard the news as I never thought a wonderful young girl like that would need to do something like that. Shame on her trainers!

Guess I had best get this posted, even though I have been hitting save every paragraph I have typed,after loosing my post on the Soda Shoppe.

Enjoy your day 🦋

Jenny

Shirley · February 10, 2022, 05:56:46 PM

Mary Page, I did look up Sebo earlier this morning & it does sound a lot like "IBS or Crohn's Disease. Back before I was 30 a doctor diagnosed me with spastic colon... had little pink & gray pills to take... until I discovered nearly every other person that went to that doctor had the same diagnosis & same pills. I quit taking them & paid attention to what I ate so no more problems except when I indulged & had nobody to blame but myself.

After my daughter married, finished college & working, had 2 kids, she started having stomach problems with all kinds of issues caused by bacteria & much too much stress & junk foods. She went from "industrial strength antibiotics" for a year to surgery. A fistula had grown between the intestine & bladder so kept the infection on going. Next she had surgery to remove part of the large intestine & small plus the valve between. Later put on one of the advertised meds that caused her to develop Lupus, she knew that was life threating. In spite of her doctor's advice, took herself off that one med. Lupus disappeared & doctor tried to convince her "it never was" and daughter asked is she would like to see the copy of that test because SHE had done a screen print. Dr didn't want to talk about it after that.

SO, this year she has gone thru every test possible & all are best ever since she was a kid. She is thrilled, at 66 she is doing great & only takes the one med she must take the rest of her life that does what that valve they removed should be doing. So moral of all that is hope she doesn't let the doctors do permanent damage to her body. She should know it better than anyone else and needs to do a thorough study of what she eats, does before a reaction. Hope she wins, and sure hope your eyes do better with every day.

I've blown my time & must get busy so a "howdy" to all and will check in later. My daughter has been in town for a week & half (the Grandparents program she came to town for was postponed because of the snow/ice we had). Her grands love having her stay with them almost as much as she loves being with them! This many days of whirlwind activity is too much at 87. She comes to my house when the kids are in school & insists on helping. WE did clean out a lot of stuff from one "junk room" (she is discovering how much I brought home from MY parents that had come from their parents, passports from 1855 to letters nearly that old, land grants & all kinds of goodies. I showed her where the most important stuff is hidden, her brothers are not ready for storing yet so will probably be up to her to protect a lot of it for the next generation. Never know (at 87) when we might need to leave home in a hurry.

MaryPage · February 10, 2022, 09:41:37 PM

Thank you so much, Shirley. I have sent your first paragraphs on to my daughter. Skipped the last one. And thank you for your good wishes, too!

I have gotten all the way to the Ls in replacing my email contacts since I lost them all due to the hacking. I become exhausted after doing a couple of them, but have decided I need to speed things up and do at least 5 each day, or it will take me a year or more to complete this task. I could have done it in a week previously. This getting old and frail and lacking in stamina is a hard pill. Oh well; I'm lucky to still be in the midst of my dear family. Complaining is about the last thing I should be doing.

The Cardiac Rehab is going well. I find my blood pressure goes down a lot after the exercise. The routine includes being hooked up to a small thingy that is thicker, but not by a whole lot, than a cell phone and not quite as large. Three wires end in three of those sticky circles on EKG machines. Chip has learned where they go on my torso, and helps me with this each time we go. A group of 4 technicians who are rehab specialists tell us what to do and then watch us intently while we do it. I find they are more than a bit skittish about me, as I am a good 20 years older than all the rest in my group. They are used to my age group mostly electing against the surgery and just giving up instead. Not ME, Darlings! I intend to take my family up on their promise to ALL come for my 100th in 2029!

Well, time to watch Seaside Hotel on PBS, so I'd best shut up for tonight. Toodles!

Marilyne · February 11, 2022, 06:36:59 PM

Mary Page - your description of the cardiac rehab is interesting. I especially like that your technicians in charge are, "a bit skittish", because you're 20 years older than the others in your group! I think it's wonderful that you're determined, and I hope you keep it up, plus anything else it takes to get ready for your 100th birthday celebration!
Thanks for the link, that explains your daughter's illness. Sibo, sounds like a difficult and painful health problem to deal with. I hope that they will soon find the right treatment for her.

Shirley - also sorry that your daughter has had such a long siege of illnesses that are similar. Good that she is finally feeling better, and hope it never returns!

Callie - I put the Bald Eagle Cam on my desktop, and have been checking it periodically for the past day. I haven't seen much yet, but hope to eventually see those babies! I haven't watched the new season of "Mrs. Maisel", yet, but will be looking for the nanny, pushing the baby carriage!

Jean - I hope things have finally warmed up for you. It has been unseasonably warm here, (mid to high 70's), all this past week. Sounds good, and feels great, but is NOT a good thing for us. No rain here since December 27th, and we are running out of water! We are already on water restrictions, but will soon have to go on long term rationing. Also the possibility of wild fires coming early, is a real fear. They have already started in Southern Cal.

Jenny - Hope your dermatologist appointment was uneventful? Every time I go to see mine, they find something new to either burn off, or worse! I still haven't recovered from my hand surgery, on January 8th. What an ordeal!

Hope you all have a nice weekend and a fun Valentine's Day, on Monday!

Happy Valentines Day too! ❤️

Denver · February 14, 2022, 05:13:16 PM

❤️❣️HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ❣️❤️

I hope you all are enjoying a wonderful day. We are back at our son's home again staying with the grands for the week while dad is out of town.

We watched the Super Bowl yesterday with this family. The food and interfacing with each other was the best part of the day fr us.

MARILYN, I apologize for not asking how your hand is doing😩😩 Shame on me‼️ I am sorry it is still recovering for you. Did you have to go to therapy for it? Dermatologist appointment was as you say, meaning they froze a few spots and took a biopsy on the top of my arm. Two spots were a bit questionable rather they needed to be biopsied or frozen.....he did a double freeze on the side of my face and on the side of my nose in three spots and I will go back in 3 months to have them looked at. They are big, red and frightening looking. Bob lucked out and only had a small thing frozen on his arm😩

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🧁 JEAN 🎂. You were a special Valentine for your mama and daddy‼️ Sweet❤️

JACKIE, your birthday greeting to our Jean is beautiful ❣️ Nice to see your post. I hope you are doing well🥰

MARYPAGE, it appears your therapy is going well. Thankful that Chip s there to assist you. I would put $$ down on you making it to your 100th Birthday Soirée.......you just HAVE to!

Time for the children to be picked up.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

CallieOK · February 14, 2022, 06:06:01 PM

Happy Valentine's Day

, Jean.

Marilyne, not much going on at the eagle's nest. I rarely see one on the live video; have to scroll down to get the report on anything that's happened.

Jenny, you had quite a session with the dermatologist!

Shirley, I know what you mean about a "whirlwind of activity"! I think I'm getting a bit too used to being alone most of the time. Of course, I blame it on my hearing aids but things often get confusing when I'm in a group.

I watched the coin toss at the Super Bowl hoping to see more of the totally deaf high school football team with a perfect season that was being honored but they were just lined up and watching. Camera scanned along the line and that was it.
Turned the tv off and checked back in later. It was half time and that was the most disgusting display of vulgarity imaginable! Off went the tv again.
Later I tuned in to see what had happened in the game and was able to watch the exciting final minutes. I'm not a pro sports fan so didn't really have a favorite but Wow! what a finish.

It was 70º in central Oklahoma today! Wish I'd had something to do outside but, instead, had a dentist appointment. All good in that department, thank goodness.

MaryPage, you didn't comment on Episode 3 of "Gilded Age". Had one of those "brain won't shut down" nights last night so hope I can stay awake for Episode 4 tonight.

MaryPage · February 14, 2022, 08:41:20 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JEAN!

Oh, Callie! I have watched Episode 3 three times now, and look forward to Episode 4 tonight on HBO at 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time, and then a 2nd watching at 11:00 on the same channel. A repeat. I find I pick up on a lot of little things I missed the 1st watching.

I still love this show, and find no woman watching it who is not just as crazy about it as I am. What a relief to have something happy in my life, what with all this worry about will Putin invade and will we find ourselves in World War III. I have been enjoying the new, second complete filming of All Creatures Great & Small over on PBS, too; and lo! They have been listening (on the show) to Prime Minister Chamberlain's reports back to Great Britain and the Empire about his wonderful talks with Adolf Hitler prior to Germany invading Poland back in 1939. Chamberlain has been hated for being such an ass ever since over there! I do so hope we, the U.S. and our Allies, are making the right moves towards Russia now. I have absolutely no opinion about this, as I have no training in foreign affairs; so one can but hope. I am sort of putting my head under my pillow, or the equivalent thereof, when I lose myself in these lovely TV shows. Goodness knows, there is not all that much for an old biddy like me who cannot stand depictions of sex or vulgar language or rude, crude and unrefined characters in any TV show. I watch Around The World In 80 Days just prior to All Creatures Great & Small, and I nearly had a heart attack, seriously, with the scenes set in an American saloon from the Old West in last night's episode. Thank Heavens that was immediately followed by James asking Helen to marry him. Well, sort of. He sort of asked her. After suffering a hangover from asking her Dad for permission to ask her. But she finished it all off nicely and they are engaged. Having read all the books and watched all of the first series of films they made, I know they remain happily married, have 2 children, and always live with Siegfried. I think Siegfried would have died of loneliness if they had NOT made their home with him!

P.S. I know I sound as though it is all real, but actually, we do not know how much is and how much is not, as these are based on real vets with a practice in the real Yorkshire back eons ago. He played fast and loose with the real people and events, but they are still based in reality. Those characters were just as intense on a daily basis with listening to those radio reports re Hitler as we are now with the Putin threats looming over us all. I can actually REMEMBER from my real life those radio news reports. My Dad was a news junkie, and made one of me. We used to listen to Lowell Thomas & The News at seven sharp EVERY night! TV had not entered our world as yet, and didn't until after World War II.

Good morning 😃 It is a pretty morning here in the Mile High City, but snow will begin this afternoon just in time for the rush hour. The weather guessers have been wavering on how much we are to get, but appears it is going to be quite a lot of that white stuff!

Got to get ready to head to our home to feed our kitty. Today I have a new house cleaner coming. I hope she is a good one that I feel will do a good job.

Have a wonderful day 🦋

Good Morning everyone. Another bright sunny day dawns in Northern California. No rain since Dec. 26th, and none expected in the near future, so full-on drought here now. Hoping all who post here are doing well - or at least managing to struggle along from day to day.

Callie - I agree with your opinion on The Super Bowl. My feelings exactly.
The half-time show was unwatchable, as far as I was concerned. I also enjoyed seeing the football players from the deaf high school, and would like to know more about them? Remember a couple of years ago, when many of us were watching and taking about the TV show, "Switched At Birth"? A very good story line in that show featuring deaf teenagers. The mother of one of the students was played by deaf actress, Marlee Matlin.

Jenny - Sounds like Dave and the three children are doing fairly well since Michele's passing? So good that they have you and Bob, to step in and help when needed. Your dermatology appointment sounds typical! They always find something to burn off, or to send away for the dreaded biopsy! I hope yours comes back negative! That old silly saying, "blonds have more fun", does not apply when we get old! ha ha!

Hoping Jean comes in to see her birthday greetings? If we don't hear from her today, I'll send her an email, to be sure she and Larry are okay?

Jackie - I liked the lovely bouquet of satin roses you left for Jean! I do hope you drop in again soon, and let us know how you are doing?

Mary Page - I haven't watched "The Gilded Age" yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing it, as soon as the Olympics are over!
