WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY
Whew well we got to the phone office before they turned it off, the girl in there laughed at me lol she said we always send you a notice before we do that and call you and call you...ohhhhhhh well I didn’t really know I never been late before. We have been in the process of changing banks and I had eliminated all the online electronic pays.. so I could get it all changed out....i paid everything else but forgot the phone ....that is weird cause I think of that one being the most important lol ...
We took the trike in with our little bike trailer pulled behind...and we got a big bag of dog food , a big bag of chicken feed and chopped corn ....and then we went and got our groceries....both at the dollar store and at Country Mart. Oh we had to make another stop at the other store that still had bananas 3 pounds for a one dollar and bought 6 pounds. Yummy. Joe and I love them.
Then we came home with a stop at the gas station to get gas .....and another stop at the permanate garage sale that we always pass , bought some of those tan roll up shades that look like little sticks .....dont know what you call them not wicker oh yeah bamboo lol
Got them for 4 dollars apiece for two really long ones and 2 dollars for a shorter one....they will be great on the back porch to keep the south sun off there.
New people on the board today....that is great. Hope they keep coming on here.
Sounds like the meeting on Monday night was a blast....sure wish I could have been there I feel like im lopsided now for another month....lol
Everyone that has thought about coming to the meeting of the “Circle of Friends well next month is the month to come.....You will love Dr. Hawes. He does take medicare too and medicare will pay for the removal of the excess skin , wont pay for tightening muscles but will remove the tummy skin....there have been cases where they have paid for someone to have the excess skin taken off of the boobs but don’t count on that because it is a hard fought battle for that one.
Bec you bet it is good news about Debbies hubby, I know he feels so much better now. Thank you sweet lady for emailing me today, I really needed it big time. I have sent you an answer please continue to keep the prayers coming...
I can just see your daughter driving the popper and Paul ....im glad that she did that tho. I cant imagine having beautiful loving caring daughters like you have. You are certainly blessed ...
Yes I want to thank you so very much for all of those tubs you gave me....in two of mine I planted some of my mints. I have one that I really like it is orange mint. Smells so good.
Next year im going to put one close to the back door and plant it full of all sorts of herbs. I have another bed for the big amount of them but I like to have some fresh handy...
I let Andy use 2 of them that they planted full of flowers by their front door. They were too heavy to take with them...i have several of my tropical vines in some of mine too. the ones that have to be taken into the green house to protect them from the weather.
I tried something in between one whole row this year....i lay down cardboard between the rows and it worked and kept out the weeds and kept things mulched and held the moisture in ...so I am collecting lots of cardboard this fall and winter so I can put it everywhere next spring....no weeding and no hoeing and it dissolves and helps the ground too. and is a great way for lazy gardeners .....lol
SUSAN!!!wow another few pounds and you will be down with me lol that is awesome girl. Im so proud of you im like Jo I want to know what you eat every day....give us your diet lol I think a lot of it is your exercise. Not what you eat so much. I know you do watch everything you eat tho. What you are doing is physically trying but most of the time that doesn’t do as much good as a straight exercise routine....the pool has really helped hasn’t it? for the winter get you and Andy a exercise ball to use when you are watching tv and stuff. Even just sitting on those things helps with your core muscles.
Colette thanks for the prayers for us to find a renter, I hope they turn out to be just half as nice as Andy and Susan were.
Jo thanks to you too and to everyone else who said a prayer for us ...it really helped I know.
God found us someone that will rent it and I think take care of it and someone that I can mother too lol
Susie when you said that about the kid in Susans avatar I had to go back and look , lol didn’t know what you meant at first, you know sometimes I show my age worse than otheres lol
Debbie so what is David doing? You said he is doing manual labor...he will need to start exercising to get stronger....i know he was tired ...but remind him how he felt last week when he didn’t have a job.
I know he is very thankful...and hopefully it will work into something better than manual labor but there is nothing wrong with that either. As it says in the \Bible that the man is to make his living by the sweat of his brow. Lol I will continue to praying for him that he grows stronger and stronger all the time.
Im glad that your lab found a new home and did you get the poodle...sounds like things are working out for you...
Sure hope you get to come on the 9th I am anxious to see everyone that can make it.
Hope some of you lake girls can get over to
I made something for supper tonight that was so so good. I mean it was delicious probably not good for me since it was so good. I took eggplant sliced it and sprinkled it with Basil and garlic on both sides , sprayed the skillet and browned both sides of the eggplant , I put one layer in the bottom of a baking dish then I sliced a skillet full of ripe tomatoes and seared them and place a layer of them on the eggplant, then another layer of eggplant and another of tomato, then I took a block of pepper jack cheese and put it all over the top. And baked it oh wow yummy. We both loved it. I think it would be weight loss friendly wouldn’t it? there wasn’t any flour or anything in there. No grease. Don’t know what sort of calories are in eggplant does anyone know? I used one medium one and 2 big ripe tomatoes and a small block of cheese. It was about 2 inch square and about 4 inches long.
Hope you all have a good Thursday can you believe this week is almost over with already?

What a week its been so far....I posted about my amazing WOW experience yesterday. I am STILL reeling and reveling in the moment. No teasing. Not even AFTER I left. Jon said all the kids were asking where his mom went. They all asked me to go out to recess with them after lunch-lol.....lunch was LESS than appetizing-but I was a good sport and hung in there-lol.....
Well, I got some good news yesterday-the dr. that I REALLY wanted to go to for my female issues that did not take my insurance-my case manager called me yesterday and told me that the doc would write off the balance! So, altho she wont accept the medicaid 2ndary, she will write it off so whatever medicare doesnt cover, I wont be responsible for-in her office AND during surgery. I was so pleased! I was very thankful....... I go to her on the 9th.
Could I ask you all to say a little prayer for Jon? We arent sure whats wrong with him-but he is having an issue with going to the restroom-where his "junk" keeps telling him he has to go-and he just does a little drip, then he goes to leave and feels like he has to go still. No other complaints-no fever, no pain in urination, no pain in tummy or area down there......I dont have ANY clue! Its getting so bothersome to Jon that he was hysterical this morning before school, because he almost missed the bus and his junk kept telling him he had to go......Man, what a morning.
He has a dr appt in the morning with his NEW dr. Our dr he has had all of his life-does not accept his insurance now-so I had to find one that did...dang it. Anyway, I was glad they got him in so quickly. I would appreciate any prayers you can send this way for my little guy. Thanks. Im sure he will be okay-and they already told me that they will test him for a uti and go from there. Good-that makes me feel better.
Can you believe my grand-daughter is 6.5 months old already? Where has the time gone? She is now on all 4s rocking back and forth-she is going to take off in the next 2 weeks and start crawling-I told Meg she is trouble when that kid is crawling-because she is nosey and an inspector gadget-she gets in her walker-and she is into everything-lol.......she gets cuter every time we see her-and the smiles are just plentiful-she ecspically loves her uncles. We get to see her on Sunday when we go to celebrate Aarons birthday-which is tomorrow. I think Lanas is tomorrow too-isnt it? LOL....I believe it is.......
Love to see the newbies on here - and love the good news, like Debs hubby getting a job-awesome! Johns successful surgery-so we have a new loser on our bench! YAY....thats always exciting!
Oh yeah...I posted it on my facebook page-but I forgot- You know how Mike races those RC cars? Well, he got 2nd in the trophy race last Saturday and his trophy is HUGE and KICK BUTT looking! I cant wait to post pics of it and his car!!! I didnt get to see the race-the first race I have missed-Was sick and he got the official trophy!! LOL......Oh well, at least he has something to show for all the races-sometimes its a money reward, that kind of thing-but the trophy is nice! LOL...... Its over 2 feet tall, like 2.5 feet tall-and just awesome looking... You have to hold it with 2 hands-thats for sure! Its a big guy!!!! LOL...Anyway, I will get some pics posted of the trophy and the car soon....Im gonna have Renee here next week to help me. LOL.....
Take care everyone-Your all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Janet
Jan, I was interested in your eggplant recipe until you added the tomatoes then you lost me. I don't care for tomatoes at all. It probably pretty health though. It veggies and cheese.
I'm tracking on Daily Plate. I had picked up a few bad habits recently, a little of this and a little of that, and didn't like what I saw when I tallied up a day's eating. Today, I'm back on track.
I got my clothes from Ebay and was so depressed for awhile. The skirt marked a 16 is way too small. I'm wearing 12s and 14s so I know it was mismarked. It's not even close to fitting. For the first time since my surgery, I felt like a failure and remembered how I used to feel when I tried on clothes that were too small. The jeans fit except too long and that's always the case. The 2 blouses run a little small too but I can wear them. I'm not used to wearing fitted garments. For years I liked things lose to cover up my fat. I'm over feeling bad about the skirt not fitting. I'm not buying any more clothes off Ebay. You can't return them if they don't fit.
Everyone enjoy your day!!

Jo: Don't feel bad about the wrong size. I wear a 12 now and I ordered a 14 skirt from JC Penny's. Well it came and it lacked about 4 inches from zipping. This is what my husband says..... Can't you just wear spanks? LOL! Well Frankie dear, if spanks sucked you in 4 inches I may not have needed surgery LOL oh my...men!
Jan I'm glad you got your place rented!
Janet so glad to see you on here again! Congratulations again on your WOW moment, I love those!
I hope everyone else is doing well and having a wonderful day! ;) Lou
