WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY
Oh my gosh someone please help!!!!! This puppy hasn't stopped whining since she was left with me. The only time she is quite is when she is in one of our laps. We are both about to go nuts and see if someone wants her lol. I guess that would be like giving away one of your kids huh? But you did have a little more time to prepare for becoming a parent at least, even if it was with about the same results . The whining and crying I mean. One other difference is that your age when having a child is a lot more resilient. I think Im too old for all of this .
Well another trip to Springfield today to have both my knees injected with syn-visk, did you all know that it is made from Rooster combs? Now who in the world would have ever thought that up? Hey lets grind up the roosters comb and inject in someones knees that should help with the arthritis. Wonder who thinks that way. That is like ----who in the world ever thought that you take some nitro glycerin and swallow it it will help the heart. Lol sounds looney to me
Watched American Idol tonight and was really disappointed that Melinda Dolittle didn't make it into the final 2. I really think she has the best voice of all but im sure she will have a good career any way.
DEANNE: Hey missed responding to you yesterday but will do you first tonight. So happy that you maybe have found a good man to share your life with some day.
Yes you do deserve happiness all of my friends do and Im so proud to call you my friend.
Cody has a very special mom.
JANET: I guess it was dehydration because I have been pushing fluids and I feel so much better today.
Oh wow Im so proud of Jon , I guess the idea of all the little cars was more powerful than the snakes in the toilet.
I still haven't gotten your address but I can get it Monday night when you are at the COF meeting. I will bring him some seeds too.
I know what you mean about life going by fast. And we look back and think of all the good time we wasted. But you know that is past and we can do nothing about any of that, all we can do is look toward the future and all the good we can do or be or say . Doesn't matter about yesterday for anyone. What matters is today.
How did the last spinal go. I didn't see you back on here today so must be hurting. I hope not.
QUIT TAKING PAIN MEDS WITHOUT EATING TOO.
You are going to wind up with an ulcer . And ask Sugar those do hurt.
Am realy excited about the reunion. That sounds like it might be a neat place.
MELISSA: Since you have so much time on your hands maybe you can come over to my house and help me out. Lol Boy I tell you you go and go and go all the time.
Hope Terry gets good news about weight bearing.
That will help a lot.
Im doing better today since I pushed myself to get in more fluids. I will be at the meeting even if I have to take out a loan to by gas for the truck. Lol
TAMMY:I know my back started really hurting me when I had lost about 50 pounds. I had to learn to hold myself up again. I think I sort of rested my fat all on top of my ribs and slumped down into them before when the fat started leaving there was no were to rest on anymore. Finally after several chiropractic adjustments and massages and paying attention to my posture most of the pain is really gone.
Wanted to say good luck on your trip to Columbia today and hope you get a date today.
TRIPLE C: Yes it was a great day today wasn't it? I love the weather we had today , except for the wind.
Yeah it was getting a little too hot for this time of year.
RACHAEL: Well looks like you might have some vistors with handcuffs arrive soon.
Sorry you have reasons that you don't want to come to a meeting . I hope they resolve soon because we all would love to meet you.
LANA: Anxious to see you again this month too. Hope we have several new ones there as well as all the old regulars lol
Your bouquet of peonies and iris sound really lovely.
DEBBIE M; Hey I think we may have already gotten her over the whines. Lord I hope so. They were about to drive me over the wall. We put her in her crate earlier this evening and left the door open , the only difference was we put an old jacket of joes that her wears fishing and working in all the time so it is loaded with his scent. She lay in there on the jacket with the door open. Tonight we shut the door and she didn't seem to care. Step one taken care of hopefully. She seems to be bonding to us .
She has only gone in our floors only once and that is because we ignored the signs.
Yes I saw an article about how to make bird baths with the big huge leaves from elephant ears. Same principal you were talking about with the hosta leaves.
Glad you got good reports from Dr. H. and I know you will find the right spot soon with your fills. Those are one of many reasons that I didn't want to do the band. I would have to go too far to have it done . But if I had been able to go a short distance to have it done I might have thought about it more. 35 pounds is a good amount to lose . that is good.
CRAIG: So good to talk to you tonight and we will be praying that the removal of the trach will go well with no problems. Have you been practicing covering it and breathing and all? God will be there with you so don't panic. It will happen in his time.
LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUND
JAN
Hello Everyone!!
Jan...glad to see that you and your new baby are doing better! She sounds pretty smart! Yes, it takes a lot of patience for a new puppy and yes, when your older it isn't easy...trust me!
How did they do the birdbathes with elephant ears? Was a bowl or pot used? I was also wondering if you could put paint in the cement to change the color or is that something that would have to be done afterwards?
How are all your new housemates doing? I pray everyone is behaving themselves and not giving you or Joe a hard time. They should really appreciate that you guys took them in! There aren't a lot of people out there that help like that anymore! You and Joe are angels!
Yes, I can't wait for the reunion either! David has been holding off taking vacation so he can schedule time off for it! It will be so nice to actually see all of you! June 19th for the picnic. My next appt. for a fill is June 19th. What time is everyone's appts. that day?
Janet...guess what? I got your package!! Thank you so much for the paper. It doesn't matter if it's this weeks. What I'm looking for right now is how much everything cost in the area...housing, taxes, utilities, groceries, the kinds of stores in the area and of course...jobs available! We aren't getting ready to move...yet! The county hasn't even brought it up yet. I just know it's coming and when it does, I want to have all my homework done! I'm scoping out areas where it would be good for us to work in and then retire too!
I want to thank you for the card too! That meant sooo much! I had an ear to ear grin on my face...David told me so! ...lol That made me smile even more! It's so nice to know when people care!
Welcome home Pam!! Thank you Lord for bringing her home safely!
Craig...today is the day!! I bet you are just pumped!!
Thank you Lord for answered prayers!
God bless everyone and have a great day! Love & Prayers, Deb M

Subject: The Golden Years.....
Sitting on the side of the road waiting to catch speeding drivers, a
state trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 mph. He thinks to himself,
"This driver is as dangerous as a speeder!"
So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching he car,
he notices that there are five elderly ladies - two in the front seat
and three in the back, wide-eyed and white as ghosts. The driver,
obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand. I was going
the exact speed limit. What seems to be the problem?"
The trooper trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 22 was
the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman
grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
"But before you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone in this car OK?
These women seem awfully shaken."
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got off
Route 127."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got this I thought of Janet & I on some of our road trips. lol
Good Morning Jan and OH Peeps~
Jan-I remember those days with a brand new puppy and that whining-and I have the same rules for pets as I do with my kids-NO WHINING ALLOWED~In fact, I am going to tell you about MY MOST EMBARESSING MOMENT-this way-its out in the open and Mike (hubby) nor Mel or Terry can bring it up at the reunion because you will ALL know already-AND I told it myself...LOL (haha Mel, Terry and Mike) Mike called me from work one day and said that they had found a tiny little pup (no teeth yet even) behind the dumpster at his work and it was covered in tar (they were doing road work etc) and asked if he could bring it home-told him ONLY until we got it healthy, and then he had to give it away.....soooooo-he brings home this pup-and it looked like an alien-it didnt even really have fur-think it was burned off with the tar....ok-so this little tiny thing, we bottle fed it-Mike made it a bed right next to his side of the bed-told him under NO CIR****TANCES was that pup to be in the bed with us~WELL, after we had her about 3 weeks and my hubby was attached to her, we go to bed-in the middle of the night I am thinking Mike is getting frisky with me (you know, you are in kinda dream land-not quite awake-but know your feeling something-like vavavoom! )SO-Im starting to feel a little lovin coming on-AND OMG-THE PUPPY WAS TRYING TO NURSE OFF ME-Mike had picked her up and put her in bed with us-I smacked him so hard-and all he did was sit there and laugh his rear off!!!! NEVER AGAIN was that pup or any other pups in bed with us-LOL LOL....I hope that makes all of you smile today! I about died of embaressment-and every time Mike or someone else tells on me-I could just die-so I am telling on myself.....It doesnt get any more embaressing than that!!!
So-Jan....wear a sports bra to bed-LOL LOL....you never know!! When we got Dozer, he was only 4 weeks old and we put an old alarm clock under a towel in his crate-they say it recreates the mothers heart beat-and for him it worked. Of course, he got way too big, way too fast-and the crate that could hold him now-is called a horse trailer-LOL~
Jan-Tammy has a date-its June 4th....I believe today is all her pre-op stuff at the hospital, I believe thats what she said when I talked to her on Tues....then she is done and her surgery is set for June 4th. Way to go Tammy~
I thought that it might be an ulcer....it DOES hurt BAD....Its a feeling I cant really describe-only that I feel like its raw and that I have been punched several times right in the stomach!!!! I almost seriously started to wonder if a staple line or something was coming undone, because my stomach was hurting as bad as my back was.....I did MAKE myself eat some yesterday-go figure-got on the scale this morning and lost 2#-geez-and I was doing protein and protein balls during the not being able to eat phase I was going through. I did eat some cereal when I got home last night-but then I felt like I was gonna puke....who knows? My stomach feels better today-but my back-its got other ideas-thats for sure!!
The last shot was HORRIBLE....Im not sure I wouldve made it if it werent for Mel-and then the lady (Julie) who gives them-filled me with HORRIBLE thoughts of how bad my back was-and how long I would be down after surgery. I KNOW my back is BAD-My ortho surgeon hasnt gone into details about ALL the horrible things-he just said that I have 3 different issues going on-with EACH issue being bad enough on their own, and that I always seem to have to take it to extreme-and I knew what he meant-but hearing someone tell me I will be down for a couple of months AND it may not even help (even though I did know this) made me cry....the thought of it makes me cringe. Everyone has told me that I should just take this time while I am waiting to lose more weight (theres a no-brainer) excercise in the pool, because thats the best thing for it-and just get ready, because surgery is something I cannot avoid much longer. I WI**** were like my tailbone where it hurt like hell and then went away-but its not. By the time I got home last night after 9 pm, I thought I was going to die. I couldnt even drive home from being in town-
Since my daughter had to go to court at 5 pm on her birthday and had finals for college ALL morning and afternoon-we werent able to kidnap her and do a girls night out-well-we did it yesterday....the anesthesia in my back usually helps for a couple of hours, and when it wears off-then I feel like I am gonna die-so anyway-Megan came over-I went and picked up my mom, and then we met Mel and Megans sperm donor at Casa Montez-and I bought my daughter a couple of drinks-and did a shot of watermelon pucker with her for her birthday.....then-we went to the tattoo parlor and Mel and I paid for Megan to get her tattoo....she wanted one last year for her b-day, but it didnt happen-and when she was 16 I told her no.....so-she got it yesterday-right above her butt crack-and I didnt think she would be so strong-she didnt even cry-said ouch a couple of times, but no tears-I was so proud of her-and its so beautiful-its a flower in the center with scripting coming off it all around~When my mom was driving home from Walmart to her house (after the tattoo) I said, man-my back is hurting and Megan yells from the back seat-AMEN SISTER~what a character-it sure was fun to have a girls night out-her sperm donor left after about 1/2 hr at Casa-so then it was just the fun ones left~We blind folded Megan after Casa so she wouldnt know where we were going!!
Jan-I am wondering why all these men/scientist can THINK of using like rooster combs but cant change the tolet paper roll? I have often thought of who came up with all of this stuff-I saw an email once that asked those questions-like-someone looking at a cow udder and thinking-I should pull on that and we could all drink milk? OR maybe that thing that just came out of the chickens who-ha would be good if I cracked it, cooked it and ate it? I mean-yeah-we like milk and eggs-but it was a funny concept of the thought process some have! Glad they do-because I sure dont!
Craigh-I sure hope you get that trach out-and I hope you will post as soon as you know something~Share the good news with us-and you sure deserve it-just goes to show you that just because a doctor tells you something-doesnt mean that God doesnt have other plans-he is sure more powerful than anything!!!
**Pam-SO glad your home and sure look forward to seeing you Monday night! I cant wait to give you a big old hug-and YES-I agree-take the time to stop and listen to your body-your instinct will kick in-and when in question, call the surgeon-right? I am praying for a speedy recovery.
**Susan-I didnt hear from you last night. Kept my phone by me from 7 pm on-so please call me and let me know how everything is going ok? I sent out cards yesterday so you should get them in a couple of days. Give everyone my love-and you are ALL in my prayers. Love you sister and everything will work out. Stay strong, and when you arent-call me-ok?
**Rachael-you laugh and make jokes-but we CAN get the dogette the bounty hunter on you-and then whatya gonna do? Call Ghostbusters (little sick humor there-LOL) Girl-we just wanna see you for ourselves and make sure you really are real...Mel could have pulled some poor girl out of the hallway to stand in those pictures and say it was you-LOL....We JUST want you to come and play for a bit-You better just keep looking over your shoulder-cause we cant be responsible for which bounty hunter gets you first-sounds like a lot of people agree with me-LOL LOL...You know we love you and you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I just wish I could hug that person I love so much~
Has anyone seen anything from Chante or Krissy lately? Every time I have gone to call them this week-its been later in the evening and I am afraid to call then and wake up them or their families....I dont like to call anyone after 10 pm....so I think I will buzz them both this morning and just wont talk long because of my day time minutes. At least then I will know how they are and my mind will feel better!
**Deb-FINALLY-I thought you were gonna think I was lying about sending it out to you. I will also get a paper in Springfield on Monday and then I will send out the whole papers for Springfield and Joplin. Joplin is booming-and it seems like we have a really good variety-however, I LOVE living in the middle of nowhere here in Diamond, our little slice of heaven-but we have everything within 1/2 hr or so of us and a couple of little places to get the staples should we run out of milk or whatever. I would LOVE to have you as a neighbor~~Thanks again for the stepping stone idea-I do have several of those plastic deals you put under plants-never thought of those and glad I saw that!! Im glad you got the card too-I think I was more upset that it wasnt there yet because you werent getting the card. I just wanted you to know I was thinking about you!!
**Mel-thanks for yesterday-and for being there when I need you-even IF I dont think I do right then-LOL LOL...You did comfort me and I am glad you could talk and knew what I wanted to say when I was holding my breath-LOL...I love you and I thank you, from the bottom of my heart for all you do for me. Its just nice living life knowing that no matter what-you are always there by my side, should I need you, and I do!!~~
**Sugar-are you doing ok? Where are you? I have been thinking and praying for you and I hope you are feeling better each and every day!! Will you be able to go to the meeting on Monday?
Well, I am gonna get off here...I dont have much to do today but baby my back and hope for relief before Monday...I am going to Mels FIL house to check on him while they are out of town, but I dont know if thats today or tomorrow until I talk to her. I thought it was Thurs, but we will see. I NEED to go through some more clothes (jeans etc) as Mel told me yesterday that its time to get rid of the jeans I wore to last months meeting-they are too big now-YAY....I also need to try on more stuff and TRY to find something to wear to graduation on Saturday! Im in that in between stages where a lot of things are either too big or too small....I have the pants I think I am wearing (thanks to Sug) but the girls dont fit right in a lot of shirts yet.....Will get there, I know-and its not a "bad" problem to have-but dont want to go and buy something to wear for a couple of weeks-and sure dont have money to spend on something fancy-LOL....
Have a good Thurs everyone and I will keep you all in thoughts and prayers. ALL my love, Janet
