Saturday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois,

Not sure why no one has posted this thread yet, its after 11 a.m I know Christine is up at the Dells,  and Kim is in Flortda, what is everyone else up to this nice  Saturday? I decided this morning to make a big pot of chili for lunches this week,  and Krogers had California peaches on sale this week, so I made DH a peach pie. Its starting to heat up, and so is the smells. I never did get any of the great Southern Illinois Peaches this year. I really do think that they are the best.  Now I need to go and clean up the kitchen. I guess that happens when you finally decide to cook.  Then, I think it is time to get a few sweaters out, to cuddle up in, when these days get cool. Please come in and tell us how your day si going.

 

Hi Lisa. Some of us were at the Obesity Walk in Prairie Stone. I got to meet Kathy and her dog, Rocky, see Christina and Calvin, Karyn B. and so many others. Dr. Guske and Dr. Kane were there. Dr Guske brought his son and daughter. Dr. Crane was there for a short time. The weather was picture perfect and the walk was great! I got home about 30 minutes ago and now just relaxing having a cup of coffee and watching Sunset Tan on TV. Not much planned for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, I'll visit my sister and mom. Stopped at the Jewel-Osco on the way home and bought a cheap Halloween bracelet. It's so cute! I like to visit other Jewel stores that are not in my neighborhood, as sometimes they carry different things. I even got 2 pillows for $10 for my living room. Hope others will post and everyone is doing fine. Take care, Lucy

I am sorry, haven't been on much, having some major health issues, and just don't feel like sitting here. Dee

Okay so Saturday is almost over, I had a poopy day.  I am sick, I have the cold from hell that everyone else seems to have.  My entire head is stuffed, my ear hurts, I am coughing and just feeling horrible in general.  I ran a couple of errands this morning, then came home had lunch and took a 2 hour nap.  Got up, did a little cleaning, watched tv, ate dinner and now I am thinking about taking some meds and going back to bed.  It stinks because today was such a beautiful day out too.  I just feel so bad.   Dee, know that you are in my prayers, I hope that your health issues get straightened out soon.

good afternoon  IL, I have been cleaning most of the morning guess getting everything clean before I have surgery, like it is going to say clean  anyway it is a cool day here and not doing much hope everyone is doing good,

I didnt do to much today. I went back to Sears and took back my new glasses that I got from there. They were not right!!!!!! The Dr that they assigned to me didnt know what he was doing!!!!! I couldnt see out of them. The swore up and down the rx was right they werent. It was so blurry!!!!! I got a refund and I told them out right I wouldnt ever be back infront of a waiting room full of people. I was pissed!!!!!! They wouldnt refund the Dr visit. I went to the main store manager and he did. So I am back to sQ one!!!!!!  I have worn glasses since I am 18 months old and one would know if one could see correctly!!!!!! I am not crazy!!!!!!! Lesson learned dont go to Sears for eye exams!!!!!!! We went to Desoto National Nonument and walked the 3 mile trail. it was very pretty lots of diferent trees.  That was my day.CArla Klein

Ill try this again, I had a bad day. I went to Sears to return my glasses I got from them. I couldnt see from them. I told them when I picked up the glasses that they werent right. They told me to make an appnt with the Dr I saw again and he would recheck my eyes. I told them I wouldnt see that jerk again. I didnt trust him as far as I could throw him!!!!! He didnt even question me about my medical history, why I didnt want my eyes dialated, just examined me and kept going out of the exam. Told me to go and cut someones hair and come back and tell him how far I stood from my chair so he could determine where to put my bifocal!!!!! I told him I wouldnt do that. To figure it out cause I wasnt comming back. I should have walked out of the exam right then and there. I knew deep down the glasses werent going to be right. the manager aked me whythere werent right and I told her in no uncertain terms or words what I thouhgt in front of a whole waitingroom full of people. About 6 people walked out!!!!! My jewish mouth got me into lets say not a nice situation. They refunded my money but not the exam. I went to the main store manager and he refuned the exam fee with no charge after I told him what happened!!!!! Go figure. So my advice to anyone dont go to Sears for glasses or an eye exam!!!!! Ill go back to Denver to my own Eye Dr. lesson learned. Now back to my old glasses!!!!! Carla

I have to laugh because the same thing happen to me at walmart, I went back twice, the first time they made me new lens and that did not work the next time I got my money back and I too am back at square one too, I guess they dont make eye drs like the used too,

Lucy, I had forgotten about the walk and that alot of the Illinois Board would be going to it.  Dee, I hope you get feeling better.

Carla, nothing is wrong with being a Jewish Princess with a big mouth. How else would we get what we want?

Janet, where did you finally get your glasses? I stopped going to department stores and went to  a regular Doctor, and have stayed with him for the past 5 years. At least he knows my eyes now.  Hope everyone had a great day.
