JaneS · May 03, 2023, 08:22:16 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend!

Thank you, Bubble for posting my picture! He's a little doll baby and smiles all the time. When I can, I'll get a picture of Emma and Mikey and get them posted too. Emma is getting so tall and Mikey is all over the place! I'm going to LOVE this visit!

Amy, have a safe trip and send Charlie packing! He doesn't need to hang around!

I'm not sure what's on the schedule for today but I'm going to be off for my morning walk as soon as I get something to eat! I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

patricia19 · May 03, 2023, 11:23:16 AM

Good morning, everyone!

Amy, we have a low presently of thirty degrees, cloudy, and expecting light snow!?! I understand that the entire world is having off-season weather this year.

I'm sorry you're having Charley horses, and hope that Gatorade works for you. I could never use it, like Alka-Seltzer and other salty medical drinks. It tends to come right back up again.

Our meet and greets society is getting together for a lunch out and a day of shopping. It'll be nice to get out among friends again today physically!

Denver · May 03, 2023, 12:29:41 PM

Good morning.

So happy to read your goings on in Jenks, JANE. I can't wait to see your pictures. Nothing finer that holding the sweet little cherubs❣️

SHIRLEY, sorry to read about your bad week. You take care🥰

I got my epidural shot last Friday in my lower back. It was done in a different location than I anticipated it would be🤷 So far the jury is out in regards to IF I think it worked for the pain🤷

Our weather has been beautiful so we have been working in the
yard. Bob power washed the patio....with my standby support😩🤪 we have flowers and plants to get planted but it is too early yet to safely do it‼️ I am really itching to get it done‼️

I wish you ALL a good day🦋
Jenny

G00d night Everyfriend and God Bless!

Amy · May 04, 2023, 07:10:00 AM

Good morning..

More rain today... at least it is not snow

Work around home today and sew. Yesterday was another fun day.In and out of Costco in 1/2 hour. Highlights of the day was seeing all the Magnolia trees in blossom and on the drive home an eagle on a log in the water having a fish dinner.

Jenny, every job needs a "boss" so while your back is out of commission wear the white hat for a while.

Patricia, enjoy your time out with your friends. I bet there are lots of things to catch up on with each other.

Shirley, how are you doing?

Phyllis, your custard in the IP will be our dessert tonight..that recipe is a keeper!

Better get ready to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning, yesterday's light snow never materialized, but it never got past the forties. However, it was a fantastic day as we all had a great time at McCafferty's for lunch and a day at the shops. Nine of us were out for lunch, and seven of us remained to roam the shops.

We are in touch every morning at our meets and greets, but it has been months since we saw each other in person for some of us. Alan and Dora were greatly missed and the topic of many remembrances and concern. I was gone most of yesterday and spent far too much, but it was worth it.

Farrah wasn't happy with me yesterday because she expected her usual shopping treats as soon as she saw the bags. I hadn't purchased any new as she still had a full jar, so I gave her a few while putting everything away.

She left those alone while carefully keeping an eye on me, putting things away, following me from cupboard to closet and back again. She was unhappy when I settled down with my Kindle; the treats were left, and I was ignored until later that night.

JaneS · May 04, 2023, 09:19:03 PM

Hello to Everyfriend! Although I think "every" is overused! There sure hasn't been a crowd in here today!

I had a great day today. First we kept baby Cam while his mama did some shopping and flower work, then we went shopping. Cathy found an outfit to wear to her son's (my grandson's) wedding in February. And I bought a new pair of "church pants"! And while we were shopping, Ali called to see if we could pick up Mikey from nursery school. We did and when we got home, Ali, Emma and Cam were there. Ali's husband joined us later and we all had supper together. Now we're all relaxing and doing our own thing after they went home! Whew!!! Our "great" day was also a busy one!

Now I'm ready for the haystack! And I'll be going there early tonight. As soon as my phone is charged I'm out of here!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Is anyone here familiar with an item called "Omega XL" supposedly for joint inflammation? Any comment?

patricia19 · May 04, 2023, 11:24:37 PM

Almost everything I found online was full of glowing advertisements that immediately made me wary. Plus, the FDA sent them a letter to stop promoting false claims, which didn't make me feel confident in their adverts.

FDA Warns Seller of Omega XL
On June 31, 2021 the FDA issued a warning letter to Great Healthworks, Inc. following a review of the company's website, which found statements made about Omega XL and ProbioticXL supplements to be drug claims.

They also said the product had very little Omega in a later warning.

RAMMEL · May 04, 2023, 11:34:10 PM

Thanks Patricia

Amy · May 05, 2023, 07:19:02 AM

Good morning...

I can see blue sky......in places!! Maybe it will be a day that the clouds won't cry??

Lots to do around home as yesterday was busy dealing with phone calls and a contractor. Better get those dust kangaroos dealt with before they become dust elephants!

Rick, I take curmin/turmeric as with anything new in your system talk it over with your Dr as it may interact with meds you may be taking. One lady I know with RA takes it and rarely now takes her RA med as this does the trick for her. I get mine at Costco...read up on it and see what you think. It does have to contain 95% curcuminoids in it to work.

Better get at the day, it sliups by too fast on me.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

phyllis · May 05, 2023, 09:50:20 AM

I haven't been here regularly because I am preoccupied with raccoons in my attic. Not squirrels, as I thought before. I've hired a professional wildlife removal comp. and they are into a lengthy solution to the problem at a high price, which is what I should have done a long time ago. Believe me, moth balls do NOT work! Apparently, duct work is damaged, siding and soffit is damaged, etc., and all these things need to be fixed.....and paid for. I've already contracted for $1400 and much more to come. I would like to get rid of this house but I'm too old to move and price of houses in my town/county are outrageous and I do not want to take on another house and all it's problems and costs again....even if I could afford it.

Excuse me for the rant but, I am upset. Didn't need this added to the other things I'm dealing with. Oh, well.....that's life, isn't it?

Hope everyone here is doing well. Take care.

Amy · May 05, 2023, 10:23:06 AM

Phyllis, I agree with you at staying where you are...if you are like me you have way too much "stuff" to move..I am leaving it for the next guy Must admit I have been getting rid of some but there is a lot that I use yet. I will trade you on the bills...we just got our quote for JUST the garage roof,the eyebrow and another little part.

In our younger days we would do the work but unable to do it now. The contractors forget that Kyle used to do quotes/work also and knows time and material for the job.

We are being wrapped in sun!!!

RAMMEL · May 05, 2023, 10:46:25 AM

Thanks for that response Amy.

Excuse me for the rant but, I am upset.

Phyllis - If you want to "rant" here, you go right ahead. We all have occasional problems and it's good to just dump them sometimes. Raccoons can, as you know, be a big problem. IMHO - the Pros are the best way to go. More likely than us to know who, where, why, what, and how.

phyllis · May 05, 2023, 10:56:09 AM

Amy, I have said to David many times that life is backward. The problems of an aging house are given to an aging owner who has lost the strength and agility to deal with them personally so has to hire someone to do the things that we can no longer do. And that hired person will charge ever higher prices....even if you can find someone who will show up and do what you need and do it properly. Sometimes I just want to ignore it all....but, that brings even harder and more expensive problems.

Thanks for the encouragement, Rammel. I should have gone with the professional early on but knew it would cost a whole lot more and sometimes, I find it really hard to deal with these professionals when they don't always do what they promise but still want their outrageous fees.

The removal gal showed me pictures of the raccoon babies....why do they have to be so cute?!!!!!!! Darned critters!!!

patricia19 · May 05, 2023, 12:55:50 PM

Phyllis, we're dealing with that here; in the past, five couples lived on more than three acres outside of town, glorying in the peace, wildlife, and gardens and their hard work. Some of these lands were held for decades.

Now all but one live in town because of age, infirmity, or the costs of maintaining roads, lands, and transportation while aging. I went through that in 2013, and while I miss my health, I don't miss working and trying to do everything. I simply no longer had that energy,

An Explore YouTube channel has raccoons, easy to watch when it's not your home, but even that Mother raccoon kicked a squirrel out of its home twenty feet above the ground to raise her babies there.

Amy, we're also having sunny skies and temperatures in the fifties. We're still about a month or two behind, what we've had in the past, but it seems that's true across the globe.

JaneS · May 05, 2023, 01:28:49 PM

Good Morning Everyfriend! Since we obviously have totally different things to talk about (i.e. house repairs/New babies), I'll just read for a while! Have a good day!

Amy · May 06, 2023, 07:15:47 AM

Good morning..

Beautiful sunny out there. Will be able to hang the laundry out today after two weeks of not being able to. Kyle cut the grass yesterday, first cutting of the year . I love the smell of fresh cut grass.

Need to drop off a contract for the roof job this morning then home to work. Finished off the quilt all but the binding yesterday now to plan on another one.

Jane , have fun hugging the great grands and grands!

Phyllis, all baby animlas are cute, well most of them. Baby birds are all belly and bald so not so cute till they are feathered.

Patricia, wild fires out west are causing problems in many areas. Flood in other ares in the east.From one disaster to another it seems.

Shirely and Lloyd are missing.

Better get ready to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

patricia19 · May 06, 2023, 12:44:27 PM

Good morning, another day of

Amy · May 06, 2023, 01:40:21 PM

Good afternoon...
I guess everyone else decided to sleep in Patricia!!

I have one more oven full ( 2 trays) of pb cooking then move on to gingersnaps.

I am so in love...with Tucker...cute...blond and LOTS of kisses.....nibbles but doesn't hurt. When we or rather I returned the contract I met this fellow...a beautiful Golden Retreiver, 6 months old and huggable...

Oven calling..

patricia19 · May 06, 2023, 02:15:47 PM

Goldens are so wonderful, but another dog is similar in build and personality; I haven't met an Irish setter that wasn't equally enchanting. My friend has a female named Autumn who will follow you around and give kisses.
P.S. It's only 10:17 here, but then you folks often get up as I'm going to bed!

Amy · May 07, 2023, 07:11:33 AM

Good morning..

Anothr sunny day but short lived as they are calling for rain and t storm later on. Nice to see the sun for a bit.

A day of rest here and will deliver a dog feeder later in the afternoon.

Leaves are starting to dress the trees more each day.So many different shades of green!

Patricia, Irish setter is a lovely dog and a lot of work to maintain with their lovely flowing coat. My friend had one named Red ,easy dog to work wih too.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · May 07, 2023, 09:17:51 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! We're getting hot days and cool nights around here. It'gets up into the 90s during the day and down into the 60s at night!

Cathy went back to PA yesterday and I think Emma will miss her greatly! They REALLY hit it off!

My Daughter has two doggies and one of them is at least mostly an Irish Setter. He's super friendly and my daughter saved him from a slow and painful death because the people who had him before didn't want to keep him and they weren't taking very good care of him. He is super friendly!

Today will be a slow day! Ali and Dan will stay home together and look after the boys. They both have colds! So we won't get to see them today!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Denver · May 07, 2023, 06:09:08 PM

I enjoyed watching the festivities from Britain. How exciting to watch history being made🥰

We had a busy day. A cousin is moving and we attended the going away party. Then we rushed to get to Granddaughter Kate's dancing competition.......missing it by just a minute😢 We did get to watch two more of her dances plus 20 or so more. At this time in their season they are all polished and dance just beautifully. Next weekend is her recital and I always look forward to seeing that‼️❣️‼️

It is a bit cooler here today but we have beautiful blue skies🦋

We taped the Kentucky Derby and have been watching it today‼️ Bob is watching sailing from San Francisco Bay.....we both love sailing.

We have a big basketball game to watch tonight. Our Denver Nuggets vs the Phoenix Suns. After our Avalanche lost we were sad but glad we had another
local team to cheer on🥰‼️🥰

I hope you all enjoyed a good Sunday🙏

Jenny

Amy · May 08, 2023, 07:29:11 AM

Good morning...

Well for the amount of rain yesterday it wouldn't fill a childs bucket nor did the storm take place!

We went to see Tucker and Kyle gave him a raise double dish feeding station and owner has a new stool to be able to reach higher places.

Off to the Dr today, drive is an hour,then wait to see him and home. Appointment is in the middle of the day,can't start anything too heavy but can putter about till time to go.

Rick,did you have your eye surgery?

Still no Lloyd.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

RAMMEL · May 08, 2023, 09:00:33 AM

Quote from: Amy on May 08, 2023, 07:29:11 AMRick,did you have your eye surgery?

The "job" is done. It's nice to have a clear view for a change. Two more days of drops and it will all be history. My need for glasses is still up in the air but will need them for close up stuff.

phyllis · May 08, 2023, 09:30:44 AM

Good morning. Just checking in. It was a quiet weekend here. I watched the coronation because of its historical interest but the Coronation Concert on PBS on Sunday was a lot more fun. It is said so often that Britain really knows how to put on a show and I agree.

Take care.

JaneS · May 08, 2023, 11:29:43 AM

+Good Morning Everyfriend! I'm doing this is semi-darkness because baby Cam is asleep right across the table from me! So if it's full of mistakes, forgive me!

Rick, I knew you'd see a difference immediately! I stood on the front porch and was amazed at the difference just in the colors. And what a change in what I could see!

PHYLLIS, so nice to see you here! I always miss you when you're gone!

I wonder where LLOYD is! I hope he's OK!

We're supposed to get thunderstorms around here this morning and then sunshine in the afternoon! Have a great day!

RAMMEL · May 08, 2023, 08:40:08 PM

Same here. Looking off porch - and so many trees and bushes are still flowering.

mycheal · May 08, 2023, 09:31:46 PM

RAMMEL.
Power of prayer, knew you'd see a whole new Lanscape in and out.
How super what is done now
Be well, see the spirit and ENJOY.
