: Hospital Bill...

A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store.
The store clerk called 000 when they saw him collapse to the floor.

The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery.

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital .

A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard loaded with several forms, and a pen.

She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.   "Do you have health insurance?" she asked.

He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"

He replied, "No money in the bank."

Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun.

He said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters!
 
Nuns are married to God."

The patient replied, "Perfect.   Send the bill to my brother-in-law."

Good Morning Everyone!

Amy, JaneS, looks like you both have busy days ahead of you.  JaneS, hope the test come out okay.  And you have good luck shopping.

Amy, what is it you are doing to the gazebo?  I had my introduction to the black flies when I went into the bush fishing one time.  And they are no fun.

Well, our weather here cant make up it's mind.  It looks like it is going to pour at any minute but doesn't and the weather guessers keep saying "possible" severe t=storms. Thankfully they don't occur either.  But some rain would certainly be welcome.

Sandy, congratulations to your Grandson.  Lots of hard work ahead of him.

Hi everyone.  We have an overcast morning and it is suppose to be partly cloudy all day long.  The forecast is for it to get to 90 degrees this afternoon.  Our main activity this morning is to get Pat to her dental appointment over in Augusta.  They called yesterday and asked if she could come about 15 minutes sooner than scheduled so she will have to hurry around a little more than usual in the morning. 

At her pain doctor appointment yesterday he decided only to prescribe Gabafenion as she has been in much less pain the last three or four days.  She is to go back next week for x-rays on her neck area and then see the pain doctor in a month.  It was about noon when she got finished at the doctor's office and we decided to eat our main meal of the day out.  So we went to the next pizza place in downtown North Augusta.  It is called Your Pie.  When we went in there was a long line waiting and we knew Pat really couldn't stand in line that long so we decided to leave.  The owner saw us go out the door and before we got to the car he called to us to come on in and he would get take care of us and that he did.  In this place you pay one price for a 10 inch pizza, select the crust and sauce you want on it and the type of cheese and then what ever meat (s) you want and choose from many other items available.  He took our order away from the line and found us a place to sit.  It took quite awhile before we got our pizzas but we were in no hurry.  I didn't pay right after I gave my order as one would do in the line so after we had been served our pizza he came to the table to ask how we liked it (and it very good as was cooked in a fire oven) and at that time I said what do I owe you and he said nothing because he hadn't gotten our order in quickly enough.  I protested but not too hard and as we left I saw him again and offered to pay but he again refused.  So we had a free meal.  Between the coupon to have a free meal at the Chop House in the future and our pizza yesterday this was a real red letter week. Tonight will be our next to last dinner at the Church and then we expect Scott and Jennifer to come out for a little while.

Shirley, good information on iron in our diets and anemia. 

June, nice to see you have a great night sleep a couple of nights ago.  Do you use a grabber tool to pick up things from the floor?  They are very handy. I agree with you that acceptance is certainly a big factor in contentment and make that my aim everyday. 

deAngel, I haven't had a cup of Ovaltine since I was a child and not too much of it then as it must have been too costly for Mother to buy it very often.  I hope you slept better last night.  I am beginning to believe that going to one doctor appointment will lead to two new appointments related to that visit. 

Joan, glad to see your family is doing the brunt of the moving work for you. 

JaneS, I have never heard the expression of dog kisses.  I like it and it is very appropriate.  Your cleaning lady must have a lot of energy.  Glad you have found her to help you.

Amy, do those black flies consider you a tempting meal?  Glad your husband liked the Boost.  When my DIL was alive she needed to drink that and prepared only one flavor that I think was clear. 

JoanFL

Lloyd--Thanks for the chuckle.

halkel--It sprinkled here for a few minutes--that was it.

Larry--It's overcast here today, too.  You had good look in getting two free meals.

June Drabek

Happy Wednesday day dear ones !

Sandy, Your Matthew is a winner already. That is wonderful time he made on the two mile run. You can be very proud of him. And I hope your arm is healing nicely.

Bis, I am giggling over the chuckles this morning.

Janie, I pray your long wait today will pass quickly. Sounds like you are well prepared. I can relate to your statement of leaving Annie in God's Hands. I had a realization this morning that I ask God's forgiveness for sins of the past, but then I still carry the regret around in my mind. How foolish of me not to accept God's forgiveness and get on with trying to be useful to Him, rather than being a droop that keeps fussing with past sin.

Larry, I do not have a grabber. Had one but seldom used it, so left it behind. I want to keep bending, squatting, whatever it takes to pick up stuff. I am not very active anymore, and I don't want to lose the ability to do things the normal way.
How nice of the Pizza man to not charge for the pizza. I am sure you will return again. I buy single serving Celeste Pizza and just pop it in the microwave..and use a paper plate instead of a dish that need washing. I have become very sloven since I do not cook anymore and don't have a full size kitchen, and seldom have a guest. Just me and my shadow…….

Our Chaplain is going to direct Bible Study this morning, so I will be down in the Chapel at 10 a.m today. Nothing else on the docket that interests me, so I will read and nap. I should do some snail mail…we'll see how it goes.

Have a good day dear hearts. I love you much.

As long as we are here, let's dance.

Gloria

Good morning everyone, got nice and warm yesterday and today up into the 80's.  My AC will be running this afternoon.

LARRY  soggy is the word for the way the weather has been here. I did hear on local news that all that rain was one thing  good to kill those gypsy moth caterpillars. Hope that is true. They sure damaged a lot of trees in this state last year.

SHIRLEY  starting today I will whine along with you about the heat. Right now the humidity is low but as we get more days of 80+ the humidity will rise and then I will not be going outside much. Will hibernate with my AC. 75° is OK in the day and 50° at night is better for sleeping.

JUNE  I know I have to eat but really have to force myself to do that. My best meal is my oatmeal in the mornings. I and fruit and nuts and seeds to it so it is healthy. I blame it on not being very active anymore. Even making a sandwich takes me about half an hour to do.

GLORIA de  hope you caught a few more Zzzzz while sitting on your sunporch yesterday.

JOAN  like you I keep Ensure in the fridge but have a couple of 6packs on the floor under the edge of the cabinet near the fridge. I think we are all happy that Joe and Linda are doing most of the work and moving you close to them. You are the kind of lady who always makes friends wherever you are so you will never lack for them wherever you live.

JANE  you sound like me with the curtains up in the bedroom. I always make sure my shade is down in there before I start getting ready for bed. Being on the third floor I doubt there would be any peeping toms. Never heard of an electric canner but wow that sure will help you with all the canning you do. Great that you can take advantage of that sale.

CAROL  #1 son called me yesterday and wants to take me to the shore for chowder and clam cakes tomorrow. Darn, have an appointment so had to turn him down. That is a nice ride there and I love the smell of the ocean.

CALLIE  I have had a housekeeper/CNA for about 19 months now and I am so thankful for her help. At times when she is ill or on vacation the company sends a different one, some are good and some are plain lazy. The one I have had since about 2 weeks after she was hired is like a member of the family.

AMY  those little black flies are out here, too. Try walking and you walk into a swarm of them. Yuck.

4 hours later. My CNA was here and then I went out for some air before it got too hot. Now I am in for the rest of the day and have the AC on.

SANDY  hooray for your grandson Matt.

JOAN  never a bad time for a lemon DD. I missed them while you were away. Good chuckles, Watson was not too observant was he? Food for Thought, no one can convince me that jesus did not rise from death. I like today's quote. Thank you for all today's goodies.

AMY  hope those black flies stay away from you. Don't need that aggravation.

JANE  I hope and pray that things will go great for Annie tomorrow.

LLOYD  like your joke, I copied it to share.

HAL  I will be happy not to see any rain for a few weeks. By then we will need it again.

Now it is time for me to rest my back. Have a good rest of the day.

Good Afternoon,

The only stormy thing I heard last night was one rumble of thunder way off in the distance.  However, a friend who lives 3 miles directly west of me said she was kept awake for a couple of hours by wind and rain. 
Today is lovely - but the wind is FIERCE!
While out doing errands this morning, I stopped to get gas and practically had to hold on to the car to keep from blowing over while I was waiting for the tank to fill (yes, I use the automatic stop - but don't get back in the car)

In addition to putting off the tile replacement,  I also decided that the sound board for the t.v. wasn't working all that well and was a nuisance to mess with.  So Son is taking it back and I'll look for some of the wireless "ears".   Best that I do the research myself  ;) and a Google search indicates that Wal-Mart has several kinds.  So I'll make a list of other things I could look for and start there.

When I came home from hair appointment and grocery store yesterday, the housekeeper wasn't here.  The Cleaning Service called to say she had been unable to get into the garage because the remote box wouldn't work.
I discovered the battery was dead.
That was on my list for today but I didn't take the old one with me - and, wouldn't you know? - I got the wrong kind.   :tickedoff:   
Anybody need a 9v battery that isn't made for transistor radios?   ::)

Housekeeper came back this morning so, as soon as I get myself out the door (with dead battery in hand!), all should be back to normal <she said with fingers crossed>.

Sandy, what great news about your grandson - in so many ways.  Quite an accomplishment to be picked for the Olympic team.

Anxious to hear from Jane about Annie's appointment.

Hope Everyfriend Everywhere is having an Enjoyable Day.     



JoanFL

Gloria--I know you very much dislike the hot, humid weather. Good thing you have an air conditioner.

Callie--Best to  pick out the items you want yourself.  Those garage door pads can sure be pesky.

Carol

I should not be complaining as daughter gave me her old iPhone 6 or 4, I don't know which - but, somehow it instantly dials a number  of anyone just when I do not want to call.  Cannot figure it out - Don is telling me to buy a newer one but I am a cheapskate.  It happens when I check who has called - the missed calls section.  Any ideas?  Love/Hate cell phone. 

Sandy:  Will your grandson be in Colorado Springs?  There is heavy military there - Army is Ft. Carson.  Just down the road from us.  Training for ice skating is in a huge ice rink there too.  You must be floating with good news!

Gloria:  I hope you will have another offer for that nice drive and chowder. 

Do vegetarians eat clams?  I just thought of it - Don has a friend who I am afraid to give lettuce to almost - my clam chowder has some cooked bacon added to it and I would not like to leave out that little bit of a taste so if he visits, I will have to make vegetable soup without a beef base too. 

Callie:  More wind is coming.... sorry. 




JaneS

 How about potato soup, CAROL.

Joy

Carol, my daughter-in-law is a vegetarian and she does eat seafood.   I don't think that vegans eat seafood.  My daughter-in-law won't eat anything that has jello in it, as gelatin is made from bone marrow.   I do know whenever we eat out,  and there is crab soup,  she will always ask if it has a beef or vegetable base.  I have gotten to always have something that I know she will eat when they come to dinner.  I always make my lasagna now without any meat and we all don't even seem to miss the meat.  I, myself, could very easily be a vegetarian, as I am not a big meat eater and don't eat a lot of meat.   I do like a nice prime rib once in a while, and I like a McDonald's hamburger once in a while.  But, I could do without meat if I really had to.

Joy

BIG BOX

JoanFL

Carol--Break down ans buy a newer phone.  Mine is OLD, too,  and once I get moved I am going to buy one.

Janie--Potato soup sounds good.

Joy--I like meat too much to give it up.  I also eat a fair amount of fish.

It is a beginning... and time will tell if he will be a contender.

Good Wednesday afternoon, EVERYFRIEND.

Just checking in to see what you all are up to.....  all I know is it sure is good to see our morning goodies posted by you, JOAN.  I enjoyed them as always, and thank you so much. 

Yesterday we had to go downtown to our Internist to get our yearly blood draw done in preparation for our physicals that were due in early March. Oh my, time is just passing much too quickly!  We would love to get a doctor closer to home, but we are very happy with the one we have, so we just continue to go there for now. 

We have been trying to do some clearing out of things we just do not need, and I am finding it completely overwhelming.  There is so much, and it seems the more we do the worse it gets!  Right now it is very organized in different places, and we start through it is like stirring up a hornets nest!  I do not deal at all well with anything beyond the normal daily activities....  shame on me, as I am so blessed....but I sure do not act like it!  Our home is at the age that everything needs to be done.... even though we have upgraded appliances and the like.  If we do anything, it just make something else look worse!  We have to do all of the flooring.....at minimum!  I would move to a new home in a second IF there were someplace I would like to live.  Do they call my issue RUNNING AWAY. 

Enough of this...... I am now getting ready to go to pick up new glasses.  I have purchased three or four pair of prescription glasses over the past 5 years, and I end up not wearing them because I think I can see better without them.....well now I can't!  This time, I will give them a good try and if they do not work I hope to return them in the 30 day trial period rather than stick them in a drawer...wish me luck! 

CAROL.... I am not sure it is a cut and dried thing, regarding if vegetarians eat seafood, or not....I know vegans do not eat anything that is not plant based.  I can not find where Jackie posted something about Watford... I would love to read it too. 

SANDY, I, too, am happy for your Grandson, Matthew, and wonder if he will be stationed at Ft. Carson, south of Colorado Springs? 

GLORIA, I am feeling sad for you having to turn your son down for a trip to the shore for chowder and crab cakes!  Boo Hoo! 

Smiling at you getting together with your family tonight, LARRY!  Loved the story about your pizza. 

LLOYD, enjoyed your hospital bill story! 

JANE, holding good thoughts for you as you prepare for your drive...praying the report on Annie is good and I hope you really enjoyed your breakfast with friends.  How nice that Tammy did such a great job of cleaning.  You deserve some nice things to happen for you.  Congrats on getting a good price on your electric canner....

I I'll have finish this later....time to head out the door.....

Dear Pastor:

    I myself have become quite a frivolous old gal since I wrote you last.
As a matter of fact, I'm seeing five different gentleman every day.

    When I get up in the morning, Will Power gets me out of bed. Then I immediately go see John. A few minutes later, Charley Horse comes along.
When he leaves, Arthur-itis shows up and finally I'm so tired, I go to bed with Ben Gay.

    As you can see, we all need your prayers.....

Food For Thought

HUGS
(Author Unknown)


There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug's a way to share the joy
As sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.

A hug is an amazing thing-
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or special parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts!

good Morning girls, good to see you two girls today. Have a great day. it is 67º
and clear @ 5:00 AM . we are sure getting dry , need rain again. I have to bolt a grouser pad on one track on the bulldozer, then go do a job for a neighbor.
when I get it done in a couple day's move it over to friend Bob's and dig him a pond hope to be trouble free , then I am going to sell it and some more equipment. take you all's advice and slow down a bit.

Amy

Good morning everyone...

Jane safe trip and hope everything turns out for the good for you.

Going to be another hot one here today...ended up 86 ° yesterday...went from freeze to frying!!

Other than picking up the fruit tray for tomorrow nothing pressing to do today.

Hal I put the screen, curtains and top on the gazebo. Yesterday I had it all up but had to take hubby for his Dr appointment, thinking it would be alright left it only to come home and find the wind had moved the top on me. That will be one of the jobs I need to do today.

Larry, the blackflies show no mercy as Hall will attest to. They even bother the dogs.

Sandy, that is still an accomplishment to be chosen...good luck to Mathew!

Gloria, it was fry time here yesterday with the heat. By the time I had wrestled with the gazebo curtains I had to take another shower before heading to the Dr.

Jenny, I too hate that job and went through a purging last year, only to find out I needed some things that I gave away.....oh well..

Lloyd, good idea, you have worked hard enough through time and need to slow down a wee bit....not altogether mind you just enough to give to a bit of free time to do what you want not have to do.You and

Joan,thank you for breakfast.

Enjoy your day everyone..

Good morning everyone, already in the mid 70's and will be in the low 90's by noon. Too hot for me. I did sleep good last night thanks to the AC.

CALLIE  talk about things going wrong, that for you had with the battery. Great your housekeeper came back. I have to be here when the CNA's come, they are not allowed to be in homes if no one is there. Even if I wanted to go down and check my mailbox they would have to go with me.

JOAN  without the AC I don't know what I would do. Today the humidity will be with us so no sitting on the porch this afternoon.

CAROL  I have had a cell phone about a year and still do not understand the darn thing. Guess this old brain cannot understand new things anymore.I called my son and asked if we could take that ride to the shore another day.  Maybe after I have the next shot in my back. What kind of clam chowder do you make? Clear, milk or red(tomatoes)? Milk is Maine chowder clear is RI and the red is Manhattan. At least that is how we call them here.We used to have 2 amusement parks here in Rhode island and they had the best chowder-clear. I never liked the one with milk.

JOY  like you I prefer lasagna without meat in it. When I made it I always served the meatballs/sausage seperate in some of the sauce. I never was a big meat eater. Enjoy veggies more.

JANE  I pray today turns out good for Annie and you.

JENNY  before the summer is over I know Mike will be taking a ride to the shore so I a not too worried about missing out.

LLOYD  looks like you had a busy day yesterday, Then all your days are busy with you doing too much.

JOAN  baked omelets are something new. Bet they cook a lot easier that frying on top of the stove. Love Old Folks, I know I start the day with Will Power. When I wake in the mornings I hate the thought of crawling out of bed. Love Hugs, they always make one feel better. A big HUG   :hugs: for you. Thank you for all today's goodies and thank God for bringing you back to us.

AMY  same here, seems we have no spring weather anymore, go from winter to summer.

Time to get my breakfast and get going with the day. Have a good day everyone.

Hi everyone.  It looks like we can expect another day like yesterday with some cloud and some sun and a high of 92 degrees.  This will likely be my typical Thursday as will pick up my friend for coffee, take him home afterwards and if I feel up to it go to the Church for the Wisdom group.  That will be plenty for today. 

We had a nice dinner at Church last evening and a very nice visit with Scott.  Jennifer didn't make it to the dinner and did not come out with Scott last night.  Pat's dental appointment went well and she had no new cavities.  When we finished at the dentist we went to a new meat market and got some meat.  It was fairly close to where the dentists office but quite away from our home so doubt we will be going back. 

June, we will return to the pizza place occasionally but not too often as when we go to Pizza Hut we benefit from our son's employee discount and it makes the meal very reasonable. 

Gloria, it seems that nature has a way of dealing with problems such as the rain and the gypsy moth or forest fires and the development of new growth.  Unfortunately it often creates problem for man.  When I make up a sandwich I usually make up about three at once and refrigerate the two that will not be eaten until another day.  It sure makes getting my lunch much easier.  The same thing is true with my apples.  When I cut up apples I cut up two and store the remainder in the fruit bin.  They keep very well.  With the existence of all of the drones now being on a higher floor may not insure privacy so the use of the blinds is a good idea.  Too bad you will miss the trip with your son today and the good seafood.

Callie, that wind in Oklahoma that seems to blow all the time is one of the strong memories of the 2+ years we lived there.  I sure don't miss it as here we have little wind that is strong and a very light wind is welcome.  I think you will enjoy the earphones.  We have the ones that fit over the ear so don't hurt our ears. 

Carol, when you look at recent calls if you hit the name it will automatically dial that person whether you want it to or not.  If you hold down on the name it will give you the option of creating a new contact or adding to an existing one.  I still touch the number and dial them when I don't want to do so on occasion. I have been reading that the new generation of iPhones will likely cost $1,000 or more.  I won't be buying one and hope the one I have lasts a really long time.  I will likely go back to an Android or Microsoft smart phone when I have to replace the one I have. I did discover last week when we went to the Chop House at the mall that there is an Apple store close by.  I didn't realize we had one available. 

Joy, years ago I ate a vegetarian diet for a solid year and didn't enjoy it at all.  It was to see if I could lower my cholesterol with diet and it didn't work for me.  I love lasagna. 

Jenny, moving does cause one to declutter quite a bit but it sure is hard work.  Hope your new glasses work for you. 

Lloyd, glad to read that you have decided to sell some of your equipment and slow down a bit.   

Carol

Good Snow Day to all.  This wasn't supposed to happen until Friday but here it is --- lots of lightning last night. 

Sandy:  Your Matt is living a healthy lifestyle.  Good wishes to him as he continues to train.  (We have a Matthew too).

Gloria: and JaneS:  The recipe I make is the Rival crock pot one and it has clam juice and evaporated milk is added at the end.  The best clam chowder we used to stand on a pier with sea gulls swarming sipping a cup of very thick chowder. 


Larry
:  We have a Verizon plan which is best coverage for the mountains and this one dials a number even if I am just opening it to look at the calls.  We can get one for $189 and that sounds awful - forget about ever paying $1000 for a nuisance. 

Lloyd:  I predict you will have rain - we have snow today. 

Time to google "Baked Omelet" to check it out.

Carol, our weatherman lives in Denver, I knew him as a boy when he lived here in NY.  He comes on our radio WLNG, every morning at 6 and 8:15 He said you were expecting 6in.  of snow to day, while we would go up to 90.

Gloria, so much for Spring, last weekend I was wearing a sweater. I still have to get theAC uncovered.

Larry glad to see you did get out with your son.

Amy, You seem to have your work cut out for you.  Please take care of yourself also.

Jane, I join the others in saying safe trip.

Joan, you make my day just seeing you back with us.

Joan, I liked HUGS and saved it.

I thought about baked omelet and it made me think of an omelet I made in the microwave.  I was not using egg yolks in those days (you get used to disposing of them when you're not supposed to eat them) and used only the whites.  I haven't made it in years and probably won't make it again, but it was good.  I made it in a glass pie plate.

We are enjoying low-70 weather and the sun is shining - beautiful day!!!

I apologize for not being around much today.  The Visiting Nurse came and changed the dressing on the wound.  Than, a little at a time I have been sorting things and setting aside things I want to take to Alabama.  In between have talked to Kate.  My apartment is nearly ready.  It will be painted, and the carpet in the bedroom cleaned.  Kate has a whole list of things she's shopping for--for me.

Janie, My prayers are with you, and so is God. You are never alone dear friend.

Lloyd, do be careful dear friend. I will be glad when you retire and get rid of all that big machinery. I pray God is watching over you also.

Bis, I hope yesterday didn't take too much energy out of you. Too often we have to have this or that test done to us, and all it does is wear us out.

My day is turning out as one that tells me I need more sleep…after a full nights good sleep. I would love to just go back to bed and let the world keep turning on it's axis  as it does with or without me. But I will probably push myself to go downstairs, greet my friends with smiles and jokes and eat something I didn't really have a taste for. My word….I sound like such a sour puss.

Bis, what wound do you have ? I don't remember reading or hearing anything about that. Kate is a real blessing for you Bis, getting things all arranged and taken care of ahead of time. What is the name of the place where you will be living ? I would like to check it out on the computer. My place is Rowntree Gardens and they have a computer page.

Have a good day dear hearts. I love you much.

As long as we are here, let's dance.
