Topic: RE: WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY
Jan,
I hear you on the prune thing. I've been scared to read my Kindle in the whirlpool tub but I talked to a lady who volunteers at the blood bank when I donated last Saturday and she said she puts hers in a zip lock bag when she reads in the tub. Now why didn't that ever occur to me?
I hear you about Ecuador. I think I'd like Cuenca or maybe San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Those both sound good to me but right now I'm afraid of Mexico. If you visit this winter will you drive? I think I'd want a car when I got wherever I was going.
Right now all I want is to retire in Kansas City area. It is closer to DD and also I really like bigger cities. And, I feel comfortable driving in KC - feel like I have a general idea of where things are located, unlike my total confusion in St. Louis.
I want to go to Branson this weekend but I doubt if I can convince DH. I will need to clean one day for sure. Big dogs make big muddy footprints when they come in from outdoors. John is good at floors but I do the kitchen above the floor and the bathrooms and I dust too. It's a pain but I feel good about it when it's done.
Gotta go and help a student.
Love you all.
Lana

Guess im just a glutton for punishment lol ....they ask me last night if i would work today and i said yes . oh well that will make my paycheck that much more ...and that will be on the one that i get on the 10th so will be good. I have several things sit up to be paid on the 10th anyway since my lights and house and some other bills etc etc are to be paid on the 25th...
Hey Lana if you are going shopping in your closet for purses and jewerly you can shop for me too. My purses are awful they arent very pretty at all. and what girl would nt like more jewerly lol
Susan really sorry for all your loses. Tell Andy he better behave.....have you all had your meetings with the plastic surgeon at the learning hospital yet? I bet that would have a big impact on Andys heart too , to not have to haul around that extra skin he has. Sure do miss you all. the meeting this month is on the 19th....sure hope you all can come...you can stay all night in our trailer if you would like....George has moved out into an apartment so he will be closer in. cant blame him but miss the little bugger.
my my tomorrow is my oldest childs birthday, Teresa will be officially older than i feel now....lol ....She will be 50 and i just dont think that is possible, there could not have been that many years past since i had that beautiful adorable little bundle of bliss. I thought i had been given the most wonderful thing in the world when i looked at her. She was so so pretty. looked like a little doll. blonde hair and big dark eyes.. perfect peaches and cream complextion. ...just beautiful havent seen a baby that looked just like that again until Her daughter was born. looked like the same beautiful child from years before.
Well the tree guy came yesterday and cut a tree at our neighbors house and he is suppose to come next week to cut the two elms in our yard. I hate to cut them they are huge but one of them is splitting down the middle and the other one has a big big hole in it. dont want to take the chance of another bad winter ice storm splitting them and finding them on top of our house. because they are both right where that is where they would land. We have plenty of other trees in the front just none that tall...but that is all right they seem to dwarf the house anyway. the others are big dogwoods and redbuds , mimossa ....so we will still have lots of shade ....
talking of trees , Joe ask me what i wanted for Christmas this year and i told him i want a Japanese Maple the ones with the fillergreed leaves. and that is red. lol he doesnt know how much they are but that is the only way i will ever get one is for a gift ....but thnk i will plant it in a large large contaIner so if we do sell and move i can take it with me lol ....sure wouldnt want to go off and leave it. that is for sure.
well got to go get some protein coffee, and get my day going. Im so sore , that i feel like someone beat me half to death....it is from using the leaf blower for about half a day....Joe said i used it for about 4 hours. my arms are so sore they hurt to touch them even , so im going to go run me a tub of water in the whirlpool and soak.....so got to go make myself into a prune.
have a great day in the Lord...

Lana yeah you are right about insurance and people saving the money for themselves but you and I both know that not many people would do it. , it would just mean that they had more to spend on silly things like grocerys and elect bills lol
your training the puppy sounds like he is training you instead lol

I love this weather. I wi**** were like this all the time. It sure helps to look outside and see the sun shine.
Kids have a way of doing the stuff we do not want them to no matter how hard we try to help them. Just keep praying for them.
I know what you mean about insurance. My son couldn't afford but the bare minimum on his car and when he totaled it last month he lost it all. Guess who gets to work and pay his way?
Hope you all have a good week.

Jan, I agree about insurance. If everyone would just stop and save all the money they have to pay out for insurance they wouldn't need it when some emergency happens - know what I mean. It's a hard question though - cause some folks are just negligent and cause so many problems for others. When DH had his business in Oakland, CA, there was a lawyer that paid guys in wheelchairs $500 to find buildings that weren't in compliance with the ADA laws. Whether they even wanted to do business in the building or whether they even tried to ask if there was another entrance or anything. Then the lawyer would sue the business and keep the rest of the money. John's rented the first floor in a building that had a six inch step to get into the lobby so they all got sued and if anyone had bothered to ask or check there was a side door to John's business that was wheelchair accessable. However, he had to hire a lawyer for several thousand dollars to defend himself from this crooked lawyer. So annoying. Also, he fired someone for not coming in to work regularly and ended up having to pay unemployment on him anyway. Crazy world.
Our mums in front of the house are blooming and they are so pretty but we still have roses blooming on the West side.
We feel like we're making progress with training the new puppy. She's growing so much and we have to get control - she's too be to jump on us. John has been breaking up a Pupperoni into tiny pieces and putting them in his pocket and using them to reward her but now she goes up and sniffs his pocket and then "sits" and waits for a treat. Have to work on that now!!
Have a great evening everyone - sorry you're at work, Jan.
Hugs,
Lana

Jo i know how dissapointing all of this must be. but God didnt promise that just because we pray for something that he will give it to us. and besides your son has to be a willing percipatant and doesnt sound like he wants any part of it. I have prayed for my daughter since she was 16 and she is now 44 and just now is keeping herself clean and sober. at least for the last 2 months she has been....God will move in his life only when he is willing to give up all to him...all you can pray for is that God will put something so mighty in his life that it knocks him plum to the ground and the only way to look is up....I know as a mother how much it hurts but we have to keep our thoughts and mind on God not what your child is doing. You know that God gives everyone free will and he wont make him just quit. He could but he wont , untill your son is ready to God wont anyway.... Maybe he doesnt need to be in your home where you have to watch everything daily anyway. ....will keep praying for you to be able to be free of the thoughts that you have to heal him....your sister in Christ.
