Sunday...

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone.
I always see ppl start threads, and I always tell myself "I'm gonna beat someone to it next time", and it looks like I have finally done it. (HEHEHE)
This week, has been rough to say the least. One of my dear good friends passed away, and it has been very difficult for me. She was only 29, and she was very special. In the 6 or more years that I had known her, I dont think that I ever saw her frown. She was such a happy go lucky person, and most of all, she was the sweetest person one could ever hope to meet.
On top of all this, I am facing eviction from my aparment. I lost my job in July, and still have not found anything that is going to pay the bills. Any prayers would be appricated.

I hope you all have a great sunday, and please keep my friends family in your prayers.

Take care,

S.

Scott, I will add you to my prayers.  I have the same fears you do.  I lost my job last week.

Good morning all,  Another night of sleeplessness.  I have been awake since 2:30am and just trying to find something boring enough to make me sleep hasn't happened.  So, I decide to go ahead and post my morning greeting to you all. 

I am having all my kids home today for my son's 11th birthday party.  I am excited about that.  I don't get the four of them together much with the two grown ones living in separate towns now.  I am hoping I can eat today.  Haven't really been eating that well since last Friday.  I am getting excited about the ornament exchange.  I look forward to seeing everyone there.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday. 
Tracy

Good morning all!

Scott..it was so good to see you post! It'll be good to see you again at the ornament exchange!

The boys haircuts turned out terrific! We have definately found the place to take them to! Thanks again Jeanie for the suggestion. Craig & Ethyl are terrific. We went to the Steer Inn afterwards. We were going to go to Blueberry Hill but it was packed. So..we thought of Cici's..it wasn't open yet. So we were going to go te the Denny's at Washignton Square..it's been completely closed down!

We went & saw Bill's mom Jean. They have her back in rehab. She was more coherient than she'd been since she had the surgery. She's also trying to do stuff for herself instead of her bf Bob doing it all. I kinda got the feeling that with him being there constantly that she's ready for some breathing room from him.

Hey..we were watching Dr. G on Discovery Health yesterday. Dr. G did an autopsy on an 81 yr old guy who died in the ER...complaining that his stomach hurt like crazy. He got up fine that morning and by 10 was doubled over in pain. I told Bill that I bet it was intestines. The ER doc ran a bunch of tests on his heart..thinking that a heart attack can manifest itself it lots of ways. Finally they brought him to get a cat scan...and he died there on the scan table! So...Dr. G cuts him open and says that his heart did have several blockages but she didn't think that was what killed him. She cut open his abdomon and what does she find? Small Bowel inchemia! Sound familiar? That's what I had. So she says that she has to figure out why that portion quit getting blood and they broke to a commercial. I told Bill that I bet it was from scar tissue. She comes back and yep...it was caused from scar tissue from a stomach surery he had 30 years before! It didn't press down on the intestines like Dr. Wittles thinks happened to me. Instead, his intestines had wrapped themselves around the scar tissue & got tangled up in it. They showed what his small intestines looked like. It was really weird since I knew mine was very similar to his. I am just so grateful that St. V's ER didn't horse around getting the cat scan done on me!

I haven't gotten that many responses to my Secret Elf post from yesterday. Please read it and EMAIL me if it applies to you. Please do not contact me through here if this applies to you..ok??

Today will probably be another lazy day.

You all have a good one!

Sherri

Good morning, Scott and everyone!

I got up at 4:00 a.m. to work before church, but I haven't gotten much done this morning...so the rest of my day will be spent here at the computer transcribing. Looks like it's gonna be cold and rainy, so at least I won't be tempted to go outside and play!

I MUST get some exercise in today, I've really slacked off. I'm gonna look like a deflated balloon when I get this weight off if I don't start exercising again!!

Think I'll take the time later to list some more "stuff" on eBay. I'm making some good Christmas money doing that.

Better get ready for church...have a great day, everyone!

Jenny

I have seen posts where people have asked if anyone knew Dr. Dale Sloan from Ft Wayne area... YES!! I do!! I knew I went to church with a Dr Dale Sloan several years ago and when he came back last week for our 50th church anniversary I asked him if he did bariatric surgery....YEP.. he is the one.. From all I know of him whoever gets him is getting a good Christian Dr and a very friendly man!!

I have had such a poopy month so far.. My birthday stunk because I spent it in the hospital with my hubby... Then Thur they gave him a chemical Stress test and he had an "incident"where they had to give him Nitro right on the table and drugs thru his IV to stop it... THEN they sent him home after the test!!! OMG!! This was not the normal stress test reaction.. we expected his heart to race but it did major funny things we will be getting results from on Monday. Thanks Elf... the card yesterday did brighten my day...after thinking of everyone else it is nice to have someone actually think of me..besides bill collectors..

Be well all...
Linda kay

Linda,
How is Melissa doing, I have not seen her post in awhile.
Will you tell I was asking about. I have you prayers.
Love Ya, Gail

Scott and Tracy - May God be with both of you during the difficult time.  I hope something comes up soon for both of you.  I often complain about my job, but I am thankful that I at least have a job.  

Sherri – I'm glad the hair cuts turned out good.  

Yesterday, I went with my sister to the mall in Kokomo. They have a fund raising called We Care. They set up decorated trees and wreaths in the mall. Then today they will auction them off. There were 65 trees and wreaths. It is so much fun to see them. Then we went out to lunch. Then last evening, the whole family got together to celebrate my brother's birthday (which was last weekend). So I ate out twice and didn't have time to exercise and still lost 2.5 pounds! I wish somebody could explain this to me. It makes no sense. But I will certainly take it.
