Just opening up ! Have a nice day everyone.
Nothing new here .. Think I finally caught the January Blues. Having a talk with myself to get rid of them .
Good morning ladies,
Thanks for opening, Alabama. Sorry about the blues. I have been feeling better the past week or so. I am not sure if it is having the SAD light on while I an crocheting, being busy with craft projects or getting lots of extra sleep because of the cold medicine. I saw little SAD lights at JoAnn's the other week for maybe $60 dollars. I don't know how good one in that price range works. I paid $275 back in 2000. I was going to compare them but never got around to it. The one a JoAnn's is a fraction of the size and would be much nicer, if it works.
Nothing doing here either. This is my boring time of the year. I was thinking the over the weekend that I ought to get busy working on our taxes but I didn't. I finished up the last of my yarn yesterday. I've made five scarves but will give them away since I don't wear them. They were just something to keep me busy. I'm going to try my luck with the quilt top again. I took it apart because the blocks weren't even going across. I can match things side to side but there is a row of fabric in between these and something shifted. So I am going to check to be sure all of the seams between each block are even and try it again. I've had it cut out for over a year but lost interest in the project. But since I need a project to keep me busy right now it seemed like a good idea to work on it and get it done. We'll see.
That's about it from here. Going to do some laundry, tidy up the house and whatever today. You all have a great day.
If I remember correctly I was always blue during the Month of January. I think I am not the only one that it effects most who live in the North. Now keeping that in mind maybe we can work out of it. I doubt that I would ever spend that kind of Money on a light . I actually never heard of them until a few of you mentioned them on here. I remember having a Sun Lamp but that was for getting a tan in the house and was many moons ago.
I split my jeans my comfy ones yesterday so that could add to my blues. I am on the way to Walmart to get a pair of cheap riders . I have a two good pairs and I don't want to start wearing them around on a daily base. When we are home we both usually wears sweats and I will change to jeans when we go to the store etc. but soon as we are home again back to sweats.
I remember the days that I would never wear jeans always in winter some nice wool slacks or skirts with a nice sweater. Those days are sure gone .
Wow, I just looked at them on line. Very expensive but at least I know what they look like.
Alabama, I bought the one that I have for my dad at the recommendation of his doctor. My mom complained about the brightness so he never used it. After it sat around unused for a couple of years I brought it home to try myself. The big complaint I have is that it takes up so much room. It looks like this:
My neighbor just called and I have another quilting lesson this afternoon. Better get busy and get my housework done.
Wow that is a large one for sure . I think that if it does the job that it is well worth the money . Enjoy your quilting less this afternoon.
Hey, WOWies, Happy Monday! Another week to work toward our goals; another Monday to re-boot, if needed.
I've never seen a light box either, Dianna, and was amused to see they actually look like a box. I just thought it would be a regular lamp with a special bulb. If it helps, it seems like a good investment. Have fun with your quilting! Hope your neighbor can help with your project.
Sorry about your jeans, Bama, and hope you can find another pair you like.
Lots to do today so I'd better get back to my list. BBL.
Have a great day, everyone~
Morning ladies. Well my day is already shot. Caregiver can't make it today. Dad was a pain over the weekend and was very needy and not moving well on Saturday, so the caregiver is sore today. I had a ton of things that I needed to do today that now I can't. Grocery shopping, weight loss challenge meeting, dog park, and bank run are just a few of the things that I needed to get done today. I may be able to swing the dogpark, and possibly the bank, but grocery shopping is not going to happen, and neither is the WLC meeting.
I am not sure why Dad was being such a pain. And when I was talking to him this morning about what happened, he can't remember. Or he won't say. So now I need to look at the schedule and re-work some things so the caregiver can get all his hours this month.
Our weekend was good. We didn't hit a lot of traffic on Friday which was nice, We got to the hotel, and checked in. Disappointed that we did not have a fridge in our room. Especially for the price of a nights stay. Next year, (if we go) I will shop around to see if we can get a better deal. However, we went to dinner, and then came back and went to the fitness center and worked out and then went and sat in the hot tub. Saturday, we got up, had a shake and went to our friends. She is recovering well from her surgery, and preliminary test show that she shouldn't have to have chemo, but they are going to run a few more tests, and she will know in 3 weeks. So continued prayers that she just has to have radiation. Cody helped her hubby with some bike stuff while we were there and we watched part of the Seattle game with them. We left at the end of the 3rd quarter since we had to drive right by the stadium to get back to our hotel. Got back and all cleaned up for the banquet. We had a nice time there, and Cody got his check, It wasn't as much as we were hoping for, but it was still a good amount. Then we went to the NHRA suite and had some cocktails with friends. Sunday we got up and had a shake and drove home, and made it home in time for the Denver game. Which we won!! yeah!
Now back into the grove of things. Although I did get a phone call this morning from Dad's urologist. He has a UTI, so she is sending out some meds. Which could account for his behavior this weekend. However, it is so hard to tell, as he isn't showing any signs that would lead to the conclusion of a uti. Uggg.
Well I am off, need to make Dad's breakfast.
Morning ladies,
YAH, what a beautiful snow picture.
Angii, glad you are back home safe and sound and also got to watch the game too. Glad the weekend went well and good luck today at the store.
Thanks for starting us off Bama, well you and Garfield. Sorry about the blues. Glad you SAD light and crocheting and all is keeping you happier. Also hope the cold leaves you soon. Wow you have gotten a lot of scarves done. Have fun with the quilting.
Sorry about the jeans, Bama, and good luck at WM with the Riders. I love the Riders I have and they have lasted me over 8 years now.
Thanks for the pic of the light box, I have never seen one either.
Molasses, have a nice day.
Well I am off to a busy one myself,
Good day! This is a pic of Niagra Falls which is freezing over this year! Hasn't done that for a long time so not sure if all of it or some of it.
Its cloudy and looks like maybe some snow will come but at least so far higher 20's. I think I saw where the temps might go down again coming up Dh was up since the N.N> picked up his peanut butter finally when he goes very early to town like when I go work so Dh got up and ran outside to get it and some bread. Don't know why he didn't go store some day in the first place. His usual breakfast is toast with PB on it. So I then tried a ear plug in one ear since I only found one in my drawer from work. A foam one. That could work but once I went sleep I wouldn't hear my cell phone for work While I was still awake I could hear the phone ring etc. far away, but it wouldn't work for me when I needed to hear something. Can't stand the feeling of not hearing I guess. Don't know how Dh can stand it since he can't hear. I know I could holler for help and he wouldn't hear
Well I get to wake up nice and early tomorrow for work. Not really doing much else but getting water from son's house I guess as I know I will be aching a lot. My DSis's bday is tomorrow but I never got to get her a few little things even and will send card out tomorrow I guess since I didn't get one. Will have to send a ecard at least for now.
Boy! its really windy out there so not sure what it will blow in!
Bama, thanks to you and the Cat opening up! I haven't worn any kind of jeans for quite a while. Had the elastic type last anyway. Hope you find some! I seem to live in fleece one's here at home
Di, wow, maybe thats why they call it a light box then hey? I have a floor lamp that I thought they said helped with it? Has little tubes in it for brighter to read and all and not sure if that works or not then? Suppose to be good for cost of electricity to as we have enough stuff here on it. Its not situated by me though. Those scarves sound great! Enjoy your lesson today and the company of the lady also
Angii, glad your trip went pretty good and sorry about the CG not coming today! Hope your dad will be ok then? Probably lucky you don't have a woman doing the CG part for sure. I do not want to go in a grocery store either. Or not until I make a list I guess which I Might get done, or not and don't feel like walking in one after work I know.
Mo, enjoy your day and I'm sure you will get it all done You are the energizer bunny
Sue, have a really good day also and good wishes for whenever your Handiride or other ride is also!! Wasn't sure when you were going.
Enjoy your day ladies!! BBL< Yah
YAH, nice pic of the Falls and yes they have frozen over many times according to Chuck who lived in Buffalo and he also walked the frozen area below the Falls into Canada. Had friends who walked above the falls, but Chuck said way more dangerous as there is water still flowing behind the frozen area and if you hit a batch on the upper portion you are in for a world of hurt and maybe not even surviving.
I have ear plugs but afraid to use them now as someone told me they could get stuck in my ear. I sleep on my sides, not my back so was afraid and never used the ones I bought so I didn't hear Chuck's snoring.
No Handyride trips yet, YAH. Going with Terri (our original driver we got from the church many years back) to take us for oxygen on Wednesday, since they shipped the meds. But Chuck is going to stop at SaveMart for some milk and ice cream for himself.
Well I am off to some more computer maintenance.
A pic of Josie modeling her blanket I guess She's getting some hair now!
Sue, I guess its been a while since it really froze over but with the frigid temps this year, might get all the way there if it continues It used to be very cold some winters yrs. ago to. Kind of hard for these foam plugs to get lost in your ear though. They make them different now and it was hard to try to make them Stay in! You had to mesh them up smaller so they would go in a bit but when they filled up, seemed there was always something sticking out but would work good but Too good if I am sleeping and can't hear my phone But I will do it when I know and not expecting ANY phone calls etc. even to get a nap maybe Got you on the ride so hope its nice and fast and all!
I have a feeling tonight is going to be hard to fall asleep as I forget and probably had coffee to late and supper. Oh well, I'll make it through one day I guess. You all have a nice evening and a great day tomorrow to! Yah
Hi ladies,
Today was shopping day! Haven't been over to Target or the Super One grocery store since before Thanksgiving. I made up for lost time, I think. It was just nice to have a few different options, and I stocked up on fresh veggies. Still couldn't find a few things, like a bag of mixed frozen sweet peppers. They are always nice to have around in the winter, but no luck.
DH got his shingles vaccine at Walgreens today, too, so we are both set (I hope!)
Not much else new around here. Dropped my car off for service today and they forgot to do the oil change so I'll get it tomorrow morning. I'm not going anywhere anyway.
I'm aggravated with the photo lab - again. Our regular prints came, and look great, but they had to remake my metal print since it arrived damaged. However, the metal print they shipped wasn't mine!!! This is not good! I called and they will be doing another rush remake and I am supposed to destroy the one they erroneously shipped to me. Since it's a print on aluminum, that's going to be more difficult than ripping up a paper print. A couple of costly mistakes for the lab, which is one of the top ones in the country.
I'm going to go put my feet up -- these big shopping days wear me out! Have a good evening!
Hey, all,
I went shopping tonight, too, since I was almost out of DA's milk. Nothing too exciting to report though, other than a good deal on Kleenex! It was on sale, the store was offering a digital coupon, and I had 2 paper coupons, so I got 7 boxes for less than $5. As you may recall, DA has a paper product obsession so she goes through lots of tissues, and I'm no slouch in that dept. either.
DH and I saw a fat (or at least very furry) cat in the yard yesterday, then we saw him again today. I went out to look for him, but he was gone. Then right before dinner, DH said, "there he is, out on the rocks." So I went out, but it was a different cat--black and white shorthair. It ran away when I got close. No one is looking for either on Craigslist; I suspect the b & w is a feral cat, but the other one, if it is actually fat, must belong to someone. We'll see if I can catch them. Not that 3 cats isn't enough, and we'd end up keeping them if we can't find an owner.
I ordered DA 2 new fleece jackets from Blair today. They had a deal in the Sunday paper, only $14.99 a piece, and free shipping, too, so if anyone else likes those, let me know and I'll post the code. DA wears one pretty much every day so hers take a beating and usually end up stained or else bleached by toothpaste. They do wash nicely though, and come in pretty colors, and layer nicely over her other clothes.
Wow, Barb, you are in all for all sorts of frustrations lately with the blinds, and now your car and the photo lab. . . you must be in need of patience!
Love the bulldog puppy, Bama! Hard to have the blues looking at that face!
Josie is so cute, YAH, with her blond hair and blanket--she looks like she loves the blanket! Neat pic of the frozen falls, too.
I used to use the foam earplugs when I'd visit DA; she'd leave her TV blaring all night and it was the only way I could sleep. They weren't totally effective, but they sure helped. Maybe a little cotton in your ears would help muffle Chuck's snoring, Sue!
Hope your dad's UTI clears up quickly and his mood improves, too, Angii. Glad you had a nice weekend, and Cody got a good check.
Well, time for me to get ready for bed. Sweet dreams, everyone!
Well today went from bad to worse. Dad had a coughing fit after lunch and we ended up in the ER. He was then admitted to the hospital. They are going to keep him at least overnight. I will call tomorrow and see if they are going to send him home. Maybe I can get to the store tomorrow since he won't be here in the morning. Just a super frustrating day.
I am taking my grumpy self off of here, and will chill for a few before bed. Who know's I may even go back to bed after Cody leaves for work tomorrow!
This is the top of the world, well maybe not that far but the top of MI. and the northern end of U.S. 41 road in Copper Harbor Anyone been there?
Good Morning and got to go as time flies by again. I got at least a good 4 hrs. of sleep so thats good. Could have kept sleeping though Sounds like snow a bit today and cooling off a bit so we'll see. Am sticking around town until other son gets off work at 7:30 pm also so he can fix up the chromebook to. Older son gets out earlier as he puts away the order today. And get my water jugs filled also. So have a very good day and sending get well wishes for your dad Angii and hugs to you! Love the pic Bama!
I sure need to pick up some kleenex also Mo! And Barb, hope they get it right next time with the pic and all! Yah
My quilting lesson was fun. I tried my hand at stitching but I am not very fast at it. I think with practice I'll be able to get the hang of it. It was hard because I am left handed and she is right handed and we had trouble reversing things in our minds. She is a very patient teacher.
Great buy on the tissues, Molasses. I've gone through two boxes with my cold and need to stock up when I go to the store tomorrow. We've had some cat visitors recently too. But I am will not be trying to catch them. The one we have is more than enough.
Sorry about all of the issues lately, Barb. I hope you print will be wonderful when you finally get the correct one. Will you be able to post a picture of it here? I wasn't sure if you can photograph it without getting glare.
Sorry to hear about your dad being ill again, Angii. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Josie is such a sweetheart, YAH. Hope you get to spend some time with her soon.
Sue, why can't the pharmacy send Chuck's meds directly to him instead of sending them to the doctor? That doesn't make any sense at all. Hope the O2 pick up goes okay for you.
Hope you get ahead of those blues, Alabama. I got another gardening magazine in the mail yesterday and paging through it brightened my day. I had to laugh, it said "Early Spring (January) issue". Since when is January early spring?
Time to get moving. Have a great day.
Kinda felt like spring here yesterday! I was tromping around the backyard calling, "kitty, kitty, kitty," and thinking that just a week ago we were in the ol' polar vortex. Totally crazy weather. I'm sure you'll get the hang of the stitching, Dianna, and you'll be turning out beautiful work yourself before long. I love hand-quilting. (as in, I love looking at it, not I love doing it!)
Looks like a beautiful place, YAH; if we ever go through the UP again, we'll have to check it out. Hope your work day goes well, and glad you'll get to spend some time with your DS.
Sorry about your bad day, Angii, and hoping your dad is feeling better soon.
Happy Tuesday, Bama, Barb and Sue!
DH gave me a diamond solitaire pendant for our 30th anniversary. It is beautiful and will be a nice heirloom to pass down. Our SIL sent us texts this morning, wishing us a happy anniversary. I thanked him and told him I was looking forward to seeing him and DD celebrating their 30th. His reply, "that will be awesome, I love her so much, and you guys, too." He's such a sweetheart. Anyway, DH and I will go out for dinner tomorrow night when DD can come aunt-sit. Not sure what's on the schedule for today. I have a To Do list, as always, but woke up headachey and a sumatriptan and a workout don't seem to be working very well, Might need a nap or maybe just a shower.
Have a great day, everyone!
Happy Anniversary, Molasses! I hope you like the pendant more than you anticipated. I am sure it is lovely.
I just called the hospital, and the Dr hasn't been in to see Dad yet, so I don't know if he is coming home today. So I need to make a grocery list and get that all together so I can take Charger to the park and then go to the stores.
I also called and set up mine and Cody's annual appointments. So I have been productive today at least. I didn't go back to bed like I really wanted to.
Well I am off to make my list!
I am off and running so will be back later to catch up...however, it's a important day for a very special lady and her man.....so wanted to wish
Happy 30th Anniversary to you and your hubby today, Molasses!
Wishing you many more , Mo and Hubby.
Diamond pendant sounds really nice.
I remember on my 30th DH got me a rolex and he took me back to the place where we had stayed on our Honeymoon. Since then lol I have gotten nothing or I should say both of us. But that is our choice . . Seriously there are been years that we have both forgotten it was our Anniversary.
Now if I were to win a big lottery...this would be the first thing I'd buy for myself...LOL
Hey Angii, I imagine myself racing this sucker....ahhh the power...a rush that is so awesome
Hope all went well your shopping and your dad today, Angii.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes, Dianna, Sue and Bama! Good thing we weren't planning to go out till tomorrow night. I ended up spending most of the day in bed even after 2 sumatriptans and a naproxen.
I still wish he hadn't bought the necklace, Dianna, especially knowing how expensive it was (I was mad when I thought we were talking about a few hundred dollars for something like a heart covered in diamond chips), but I have to admit it's beautiful.
Maybe like Bama's husband, now he'll feel like he can rest on his laurels, and quit buying gifts! (We can hope, right?)
SIL stopped by on his way home from work with a colorful bouquet of flowers for me and a cigar for DH.
Nice car, Sue. I suspect if DH won the lottery, that would be on his list, too.
Have a great evening, everyone~
YAH I love the pic of Josie and gotcha on the ear plugs. Thanks on the ride.
Barb, I see you had a pretty good shopping day. Sorry about the lab place, but methinks like every place today...they get incompetents too!!! They are among us....shhh careful someone might read this and make a Reality TV show about incompetents!
Wow great deal on the tissues Molasses. We go through a lot too, since they are the NFLC (National Furry Leaky Checker) in our house too. Hope you find the owner of the new cat.
Oh I love Blair, Molasses, my sweats came from them a number of years back (blue with the lighthouse on the top) and I have also bought a couple of nice sweaters from them too.
Nope Molasses, tried cotton and it didn't work LOL
Oh no Angii, sorry to hear your dad is in ER HUGS to you.
The picture of the top of the world is just gorgeous, YAH. Glad you got some sleep. Hope son can get he chrome book fixed for you. Hope the day went well.
Dianna, glad your quilting lesson was fun. Time will tell with the stitching, Dianna, as you just started. Oh I didn't realize you were a lefty. I am like the lady a righty. It's through a program Dianna, that mails it to the doctor and the patient unusually picks it up. However, Chuck's doctor told them to mail it to us since we don't have a car. Thanks on the oxygen, us too, keeping our fingers crossed everything is ready.
Crazy weather here too, Molasses as they are forecasting 70s for later this week.
Oh Molasses, what a wonderful and beautiful gift....a diamond solitaire pendant. We went and got one of the small 3 diamond ones they had years back...I can't think what they were calling them then...past, present and future...I know Kay's was advertising them too, but we got them from a local jeweler, who is now out of business. Had a good RE sale and got it for our anniversary.
Your SIL sounds like a wonderful young man, Molasses. Sorry you didn't feel well today.
Hope shopping went well Angii and your dad is home soon. Good luck to you and Cody on the annual appointments.
We don't exchange gifts anymore either Bama or if we do get something it's a joint gift.
Molasses, enjoy the pendant and love your DSIL and his gifts.
Yeah can't beat a Corvette...I wanted one as a teen but my grandmother looked at me and said how much....I said $8000 and she said are you NUTS....I said well I had to try LOL I got my 63 Chevy Belair instead LOL
But in later years, Chuck and I got our Corvette.
Well off to nap time,
Evening ladies, and Happy Anniversary, Molasses! Your pendant sounds beautiful. Hope your headache goes away and you have a lovely time tomorrow.
YAH, I've been there!! It's been about 30 years. Hope we can get back there this year.
Sweet car, Sue! I think I need something a little higher off the ground on the forest roads up here, though.
Your quilting lessons sound wonderful, Dianna. My grandmother was always quilting, all by hand. She pieced them in the summer and set her quilting frame up in the winter. Something I always wanted to do myself. My sticky trigger fingers right now make any kind of sewing or needlework pretty difficult. I'm ready to get them fixed (again).
Hope you were able to get some things done today, Angii, and that they find out what's going on with your dad.
Hope you're having a good day, Bama.
I need to go check on dinner. DH has been coughing and sniffling for the last 3 days and now I have it. Yuck! Fortunately, I stocked up on cough medicine at Target yesterday. Have a good evening!
I am exhausted. UUGG!
They are keeping Dad another night. Right now they are giving him lot's of antibiotics so If he swallowed something, his body will fight off infection. I think he may be coming home tomorrow. We will see. I am just worried about how much this is going to set him back.
I took Charger to the park, and then I went to the grocery store's and all that fun stuff. Then came home got it all put away, and then I went for a run. Charger came with me, and I am not quite ready for that yet. He was making me go faster than I am comfortable with right now LOL, But he is a happy and worn out puppy.
Then I tried to get on the internet, and our router decided to die. SO when DH came home we went and got a new one. We had our old one for at least 6 years. And as far as technology goes, 6 years is ancient.
Dh is being a major grumpy butt! I just hope he chills pretty soon or else WW3 is going to start right here! LOL
Sue,,,, can I please drive your new vette?? I promise to keep it off the wall! And your green one is my all time favorite body style of the vette's! But you know me, I am a Camaro girl at hart. This is what I want. https://www.chevrolet.com/perf...maro_|_copo%20camaro
It is a factory ready race car! OMG I would totally buys his and hers if we won the lottery! Not sure what color I would paint it, but something dark and sparkly. I am thinking that Cody would go with Red with Black RS stripes like his 70 that we had.
Here is the link. I can't get the pictures to load and I am sick of fighting with it! http://www.rockincracing.com/G...t_not_Forgotten.html
Mo, the diamond sounds lovely. I hope the headache goes away before your dinner tomorrow.
Di, I hope that you are enjoying your quilting lesson's! I need to work on my T-shirt quilt so that we can use it over the summer! But I don't have the space I really need for it. We will see if I can get it figured out. Plus I need to work on the awning extension for the camper.
Bama, Yah, and Barb, I hope you are all staying warm!
I am going to run. I am about to fall asleep at the computer!
Good morning,
Sorry your dad hasn't been released from the hospital yet, Angii. Hope he is well enough to come home today and that he hasn't suffered any set backs.
Sorry about the headache, Molasses. I hope that you are feeling better today and enjoy your anniversary dinner tonight. It sounds like your DD married a great guy.
I am not really a car person (my DH is). As long is it gets me were I need to go is all I care about. I need to get myself back to driving again. I parked my car in the garage when it came back from the body shop in October and it hasn't moved since. The longer is goes the more uneasy I am about driving. I am going to turn into one of those old ladies who either can't or shouldn't drive anymore. I don't go anyplace but I should keep up with it in case I would need to drive in an emergency.
Nothing happening here. I watched some quilting videos on youtube, finished sewing my quilt top and worked on taxes yesterday. Today is errand day. Tomorrow will be cleaning day. Pretty much the same old stuff.
Guess I'd better hit the shower and then work on my grocery list.
Have a great day all.
Good Morning , got the workout finished and now just goofing off. Decide what to have for dinner today.
Diane , you life sounds about exciting as mine. I expect I will see the youngest GD this week end as school is out Friday and Monday. MLK day plus Teachers day.
Wow, Sue a beautiful car for sure. Ours was white with two top . I can't believe we have no pictures of it. His Mother may have but when she past we don't know who got those . My Girlfriend from OHIO/Bama had one and his Tag said Sue's Vette. Yep her name is Sue also. She no longer has it bought a foreign car instead.
So sorry about your Dad Angii, I know he is a lot of work for you but I'm sure he isn't happy with his condition either. Hugs,
Barb hope your cold is getting better . Sorry about the picture mix up also. I don't know what's going on in this world of ours but people are just so incompetent now days. We put a temporary address change until 1/16/14 and when I got the confirmation it was changed to 6/20/14. Geez, so I had to call our local post office and the lady I talked to said they probably changed it as they couldn't do a short time (6 weeks) I very nicely said will they do it for us 3 times a year and have been doing it for 5 years or more. So she did change it to January . Luckily half of our bills are paid on line. I guess I need to set the rest of them up that way.
Yah, some beautiful pictures and Wow Josie is getting hair. LOL . My DD and Myself didn't have hair for the longest time. That picture of her is so cute. She's gona be a looker when she grows up.
MO, Hope you headache is gone today. I saw something about migraines on Facebook . Feet in a pan of water (not sure of the Temp) and a bag of frozen veggies on the neck
Off to find something to do .
Oh I am on my 8th sisterhood book . Haven't loss interest yet . Each one is great.
Oh I did 100 standing leg raises this afternoon . I saw that Shaun T does them in his focus T 25 workout so though I would give it a try. Well add it to my Strength Training workout .
Good Morning! Not a great one as I was called in and didn't answer. Should have known this lady would call in but as we ran out of oil also, I got up, put electric things on and wanted to see how my feet were as they sure hurt at first. Plus she didn't call at the nice early time she usually does So I was going to call back and see if they got a hold of a hk that lives a lot closer or whatever as they'd rather be in laundry than in hk, but figured if she takes another day off, which they seem to do as no Dr's note needed for 2 days, then I would end up work 4 days in a row! Well after all that time off, I don't think my body would do well with that so....here I am. I could be sweating at work or cold here Hopefully we can get some delivered soon as its gone to the cold temps again also.
Did go out to eat with son and then just went to Family Dollar for paper stuff like kleenex and the like. Probably to much more walking for after work. Then went to son's as other son got off work later and he tried to fix the chromebook we screwed up Have to call him yet for something before going on it though. He had to redo it all but its really easy to use if one gets it in their head a bit He also made it less sensitive as Dh was pressing to hard and it was going on everything! One of those touchy mouse pads on the board so now if he gets to something, he will have to click down on it to get there. So got home around 9 p.m or so. Plus it was snowing and blowing then but I guess we didn't really get much as they got way south of us for sure!
Di, have a good errand day! Sounds like you are putting to good use the time you have in the house and on some pleasant stuff to I could never give up driving I know someday I might have to but I feel better if I'm driving than someone else right now. Just SO long a drive for anything is what I hate as can't just decide to do something and run to the store for it out here
Mo, Happy belated 30th anniversary and wow on the gift from your Dh! Enjoy it as he's showing you his love for sure and once in a while, likes to over do it Some are good at that and keep it up even Enjoy your dinner and hope your headache stays away!
Angii, praying for a good recovery for your dad! And hope your night turned out better with Cody also You sure get a lot done anyway! Yay on enjoying a run even and I guess it would be harder with Charger since your just starting out and I'm sure he wants to just Run!
Sue, hoping your trip goes smooth and your back home quickly Love the car pic's! Racy looking car there! And Angii, nice car you had there to! I would not want those now though, not enough room for stuff
Barb, I figured you might have gone to the top of MI. sometimes Its probably been about 50 yrs. since I've been I went once up to Fort Wilkins but that was it. Ugh on the cold! Hope it blows over. I hope I dont' catch what they got at work either! Hoping your other troubles come in right soon to! Keep warm as it sound like the cold is coming back a bit.
Bama, have a great day!
Di, sounds like me when I tried to have a friend teach me knitting. She was left handed and I'm right so not a good start and I just didn't have it in me i guess
Someone would need enormous amounts of patience for me
Well, better get off and may go bed and read so I can put the electric things off a bit. Oil truck comes out this way on Thurs. and Mon. only so Dh will probably get a 5 gal. thing of oil which will cost enough to use a little. Its not an emergency as we have electric. Hopefully no trouble for not going in to work. Have a very nice day all! Yah
Had a wonderful 'me day' and evening too, plus the CBS Sunday morning show had some great stories too.
Monday was a fairly busy day, as had to cook up some pasta...made up some angel hair pasta and used the rest of our Ragu sauce we had opened on Friday for the Rotini we made up. Got ourselves 4 meals a piece out of it, so we are happy campers. After the clean up of the pasta stuff, I put on the pot for the chicken to be cooked up. So kept an eye on that till it came to a full boil and then lowered it to a rolling one and went and took care of mail, answering emails, catching up on boards and some more computer maintenance too.
Martine was supposed to come look at the agitator and take care of the sink in the master bath, but didn't show up till 4 p.m., apparently something was keeping him busy, when he talks fast with his accent I can't understand him but he said Tuesday and I said fine, in the a.m.
We had a nice dinner and a night of Burn Notice and the double initial episode of Three's Company with the next season we started. Love that show.
Tuesday got my dusting done before I got on line, and did my vacuuming after breakfast. Had just finished up the vacuuming and Martine showed up. Chuck was still in the master bath so Martine checked the washing machine first. He asked if I had the manual...and I said, of course, he laughed as many don't keep that stuff. But I do, so he took that to get model numbers and all. He will get us a new agitator. Then he checked the master bath, told him what we needed and he went and got the snake and a new plunger and top for the sink.
So that's all done, till the new agitator comes in, and that he can just drop off since I take the thing out, clean it and put it away. That plus the fact my father know washer's/dryers both home and industrial and I used to go with him to fix them years back. So I know my washers and dryer parts too.
Then I took my coffee and called CVS to check if hubby was now covered for his flu shot and he is, so while we are out with Terri tomorrow, he will go and get it at CVS. I don't know about the other areas of the country, but we are having a lot of very sick people here that are being effected by it. The strain is a very nasty one.
Then I called Terri to confirm and she called back. Tried to confirm that paperwork with ready at Apria, but after being on hold (and doing mail at the same time....I love my speaker phone LOL......I got cut off after 15 minutes and said the heck with it, she said last week when I spoke to her she'd have it ready and as Chuck said if not, well it will get done then. We just want to do it as quick as we can so we don't run over the time frame for Terri.
After that I re-did our TV and Movie list to make the changes and additions and we will print them tomorrow.
I then cleared off the MP3 player put new stuff on it....another eclectic group with 98.70-FM Double Golden (Oldies)...Bad Company....Bobby Vinton (2 of his albums), Bread, Carpenter's, Cheryl Ladd (yes she did up an album and she has a very nice voice LOL), Dawn, and the Beach Boys.
Then I worked some more on saving and deleting stuff in my Outlook files. Also did some clearing on calendars of birthdays/anniversaries of people I no longer have any contact with.
So a very productive Tuesday, my eyes were driving me nuts by the end of the day with the little print and all though and had a headache to beat the band, along with a mouth ache so had to take one of the ibuprofen's. Such is life. I did find out why the acetaminophen wasn't working that well, you are supposed to take 2 of them...well DUH that's what I get for not reading the instructions, as I was taking one like I do with the ibuprofen.
Well I will definitely be buying more of the Progresso Rich & Hearty Chicken Pot Pie Style soup that is for darn tootin' sure...it was delicious with my 4 crumbled saltines in it...mmmm good...oops that's the other soup company LOL
We watched the last 2 episodes of Burn Notice and should get the last episode in on Wednesday. Gonna miss the show it was a very good one and the first cable show we got from Netflix.
Slept pretty well Tuesday night but then I did take an allergy pill earlier in the evening as my nose was going crazy. Our AQ and particulates around here are just atrocious...we so need rain.
Well got up early on Wednesday as Terri was coming at 9:30 a.m., she was actually here a bit early, so Chuck went out and told her we'd be right out. We got Buddy settled and off we went. Oh we did forget how much nicer her car is, it's a four door and has leg room for me and my tank. My legs aren't long but with Maryann's and even the Handyride cars, there isn't a lot of room so I am usually cramped with my tank and legs (even short as they are). Poor Chuck was always in pain with having to crawl into Maryann's back seat (her car was only a 1 door) so his bad back and hernia always killed him. So he's feeling so much better today.
Chuck printed out the directions to Apria, so he told Terri how to get there and it was fast, took only about 10 minutes to get there and another 10 to 15 at Apria itself, I got my 2 tanks and we saved $12 as they were on sale for $30. In fact the gal said that will be $30, so I said per tank, the lady I spoke too said it was still $22 and the gal said no $30 for 2 of the tanks as they are on sale. Well Chuck said, we will just shut up now and pay LOL She gave us the paperwork, we walked back and the young man brought out the tanks and handed them to Chuck. But they do carry them to the car if you ask. Chuck put them in and we were off to CVS to get Chuck's flu shot. We go in and have to wait they never have enough people at pharmacy anymore and only to find out they don't have any more flu shots they are waiting for them to come in this afternoon; as they ran out yesterday morning. Well I said the gal I talked to never said that as I told her we would be in today and she said that's fine, just don't come in the afternoon as the pharmacists go to lunch from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. So we were NOT happy campers.
Went across the street to Save Mart and I said to Chuck I would check their pharmacy and the lady there said they did give flu shots and had the shots, so I went and got Chuck's card as she said she'd have to check it. She did, he was covered (so we didn't have to pay a thing) and so before we went to pay for the groceries he got he got his flu shot. His arm is hurting already, but I told him that mine was too.
Got back home about 10:50 a.m., so can't beat that. Terri got out and helped with the tanks and ice chest, which she didn't have to but I do remember years back her doing that with groceries too. She's not as busy anymore so would be great to use.
So we got changed, stuff put away, Buddy stuff done and all and I got my mail checked already too.
It was my day to dust, but I am going to be BAD....and do a light dusting again this week...I know....SHAME ON ME LOL
With everything closed up, it doesn't get too bad.
Well off to do some board checks, and then off to lunch, more computer maintenance, Google Plus work and stuff like that.....till comic and crackers time.
On tap for tonight some yummy pasta and ice cream and if Netflix does arrive the final episode of Burn Notice and a Nikita.
Hope you had a great day and same for the evening,
Well I am off line the rest of the day...I went to post and found out a very dear friend I met at the old BHG board back in 2004 passed away today...please prayers for her family...I am crying too much right now to say more.
So sorry to hear the sad news Sue! My prayers and sympathy for her family and for you also. I'm sure you touched her life very much as this saying goes. I'd rather share and touch people's lives than be rich, popular or anything.Hope I make someone feel better once in a while at least Relax for the rest of the day as you been out and about already and got a lot accomplished I'm sure also. Lots of Hugs!! And I'm very glad to hear you had a very good ride there and car was more doors etc. to help you out also! And the sale on those tanks and free shot sounds like a good day all around as far as that goes. She sounds like a nice helpful lady also on that ride
Well I ordered only the minimum of oil but found out we did have a little left and he wouldn't have had to go buy at prices to make it through until the oil comes as a part on the furnace quit working. He got this furnace from his DB and it hadn't been used only a yr. when the renter's had moved but sat there then, but we got it about 15 yrs. ago from there and it has been running good except for a part that goes once in a while, made in China now, and was $50 last time he had to get it. But he took the 'gun' part of an old one at the lady's house that is being sold down the road as they were throwing old stuff away and he took that and polished the rust off as it was down their basement and some water had come in, but it worked so furnace is working! I guess thats why we save old stuff around here
It seems a lot colder since its damp also out there but the temps are colder now also.
Now I don't know if I should get up in case or whoever they got to work today, maybe said they'd work tomorrow if lady calls in I am hoping I don't work as i got 2 days coming on the more personal clothes floors and 2 closets to fill and also the quarantined floors are where I go. The only bad thing about on call but I guess the PT get called in also but they aren't so obligated then.
Hope you all have a nice evening and are with warmer weather than us. I made Cold tuna salad today as seems thats all I have, noodles, tuna etc. I know I need to go grocery store but have to make some kind of list I suppose which i hate doing. I do procrastinate right? Yah
Evening ladies. It has been a long day. They are keeping Dad another night, but I didn't find out until almost 2. So I took Charger to the park, and then ran to the bank, and came home and called the hospital again. I had only called 3 times before without getting a call back. So while I am finally on the phone with the nurse, the Dr called too.
But I think he is going to be released tomorrow.
I went to my Weight Loss Challenge meeting tonight. I lost almost 2 pounds. I was sooo close. Next week. I am also starting a Fit camp with the group too. SO depending on if Dad comes home tomorrow and all that, I will re-work the CG schedule to try and go to the assessment on Saturday.
I am ready for a nap. I am exhausted. Dealing with idiots at the hospital make me crazy!
Well Good Morning ladies! Yep, got called in again and at least this N.A who is in laundry also called me at 5 a.m so I had a little more time. Hate going in as this will make 3 days in a row now. And we got quite a bit of snow so have to go shovel a bit and get my van cleaned up. Have a very good day all and hope your dad is ok if he's coming home today Angii. Wish me luck Yah
Good Morning, first let me say to Sue, I am sorry about the loss of your Friend . sympathy to the family and to you Sue. Hugs also coming your way. It is so hard to lose someone but we know they go to a better place.
Angii, hope your father gets to come home today and isn't any worse. As they say in the South Bless his heart he is going thru a lot now. I imagine he isn't happy with his condition either . I sure at one time he was a very strong man and healthy sometimes life doesn't treat us well. Hugs to you also but congrats on the weight loss and I hope you get to your meeting . You are doing great .
Yah, sorry you had to work day and also that you got the furnace problem taken care of . I remember those day cleaning off the car for going to work . Never seemed to bother me as it was part of life and living in Ohio you knew what to expect in the winter. I know Michigan weather is a lot worse then ours. So hang in there Spring will be here soon .
Not much else going on here today. Don't know what I will get into . It's early yet .
Yesterday afternoon our friends called and wanted us to join them for dinner so we did . Went to Logans roadhouse and We had printed out a coupon for bogo and they have good food and good service . Had a nice visit also. They are the ones we go out with on Friday. The other couple is on the way to Aruba which is some place I would never go but I do hear it is beautiful. I'm sure they will take some pictures to share with us.
Well I need to get moving . I slept a little later today so am behind . May skip the workout until later.
I am sorry to hear about your friend's passing Sue. Sending hugs your way. Glad you had a good outing yesterday. Sounds like you found a good driver. Hope you and Chuck aren't too sore or get sick from your flu shots. I've never had one and DH says there is no way he will get one. But he did get his shingles and pneumonia shots about a month ago. I still have a another year to decide about those since we need to be 65 to have them partially covered by insurance.
Sorry about the poor communication from the hospital, Angii. Hope your dad gets home today. Congrats on the weight loss. You are doing great.
Sorry about the call in, YAH. Hope the three days in a row don't turn into more days. I don't miss having to clean off my car either. Guess spring is a long way off for you there. Be careful on the roads.
Glad you had a nice dinner out last night, Alabama.
Hope your head ache was gone and you had a nice anniversary dinner, Molasses.
Hi Barb, hope all it well there.
Errand day went well. When we got home we went over to my neighbor's for some quilting advice and so DH could see how to make the legs for the quilt frame. My neighbor is lending me her small frame to use but I need a set of legs for it. I have a large vintage frame that she and her husband gave me a couple of summers ago but she has never used that type and said won't be able to help me with it. So when she offered to lend me her small frame I took her up on it. It will fit in my sun room and not be in the middle of things in the house. I'll just need to bundle up to go out there to quilt. It warms up pretty good on sunny days and I have an electric heater that I can use to help get it warm. The big issue with the type of frame that she uses is it takes up a lot of room unlike the ones with rollers but it looks a lot easier to use.
Nothing else to report from here. I need to clean today. I'm dealing with winter grunge again. Come on spring!
You all have a great day. I'm off to bring Molly in and get busy on my cleaning.
Sue, sorry to hear about your friend. Sending prayers and thoughts of peace for you and her family.
Di, I was supposed to get a quilting frame from my Gmother-in law. But one of her daughter's has it. So I will probably get my MIL's as my other sister in law is a shopper and wouldn't do a craft if her life depended on it. LOL But it takes up a lot of room and we don't have the room for it with Dad being downstairs. Maybe in our next house.
Bama, sounds like you had a good time out with friends!
Yah, sorry about having to shovel and being called in. I hope you drive safely and all goes well at work.
Hi, Mo and Barb.
I am really worried that Dad will "catch" something from the hospital. Yes he has had his flu shot, but the H1N1 is rampant around here as well and they are asking healthy people to avoid the hospitals if possible. There has been over 100 hospitalizations and 81 people have passed away from it. That is why I want Dad home as soon as possible. If he was to get a flu (even a non violent strain) it could very well be the end. So I am praying that he is ok, and doesn't pick up the virus.
Please say a prayer for my Aunt. I found out yesterday through FB that they discovered a brain tumor and will be operating o Saturday. She has been battling ovarian cancer for years. fortunately hers was caught early and she has been able to stay ahead of the cancer with treatments. They are hopeful that they can remove the tumor safely and without causing any damage. But it is a very scary time. When we discovered that my Mom's ovarian cancer had spread to her brain is when she stopped all treatments.
Well I better go. I need to make some phone calls this morning.
Afternoon ladies,
Not much to report from here. I'm still fighting this cold. I am thankful that I don't have to go out anywhere, or go to work with it. DH is feeling much better and he's about 3-4 days ahead of me, so maybe it will be a short-lived one.
I get flu shots every year - haven't had the flu in years, but when I have had it I've been down for two weeks. Got my pneumonia shot several years ago and the shingles last week, so I am good to go.
So sorry to hear about your friend, Sue. (((Hugs)))
Hope your Dad comes home today, Angii, and very sorry about your aunt.
I'm going to go up and stretch out for awhile. Hope you all have a good day.

Craving a sweet treat without the guilty sugar, I ventured to the grocery store with the intention of trying something new. When I saw Bare Fruit Granny Smith Apple Chips, I knew I had found my snack. I picked up the 2.6-ounce (73-gram) version for $3.99 - pricey but too intriguing to pass up, after all, these "chips" are fat- and gluten-free, with no added sugar, preservatives, or additives. Plus they are gluten-free and Kosher too.
I opened the generously-sized bag and tried some. Delicious ! The chips are tart and sweet at the same time, and it's hard to believe they don't have any added sugar. Unlike Brothers All Natural Fruit Crisps, these aren't freeze dried, just baked to deliver some immensely satisfying, crunchy chips.
Each 12 gram serving of serving of Bare Fruit 100% Organic Granny Smith Apple Chips provides 29 calories, no fats, 1% of the daily value for sodium, 1 gram of fiber and 7 grams of sugar. The serving size is ridiculously small though - the usual serving size for "potato" chips is 28 grams. The only ingredients are organic apples!
The sugar grams can add up, so don't go eating the entire bag. Still, I will definitely be buying these again. Hopefully I can get them for cheaper (Amazon.com has them at $29.72 for a pack of 12). Each bag containing 5 whole apples and the taste is definitely something to rave about. Now, I hope they work on bringing down the price a little bit.

Maybelline just can't help itself when it comes to mascaras. They have over a dozen that we've rated highly, but they keep launching more; such as the XXL series, which isn't any more professional than their others. The Extensions option is yet another dual-sided mascara with lash primer on one end and mascara on the other. Applying the primer first makes a slight difference in terms of a clean application and quick results. Using the mascara alone requires several coats to equal the results of the primer/mascara combination, but the results are better with just the mascara, at least if you want to take your lashes to their longest potential. Whether you opt for two steps or mascara alone, the result is long, beautifully separated lashes without clumps. Both formulas wear well without flaking, and are easily removed with a water-soluble cleanser. Thickness is hard to come by, so if that's what you're after, consider Maybelline's The Colossal mascara instead.
Maybelline is one of the best-known and most recognized mass-market makeup lines in the world—it's available in 90 countries. Throughout its long history, which began in 1915 when T. L. Wilson founded the company and named it after his sister, Mabel, and Vaseline (which he combined with coal dust to concoct a mascara for her), the company has prided itself on bringing innovative products to the marketplace. L'Oreal purchased the company in early 1996 and that's when things really started getting much better. Both companies specialize in offering a large selection of lipsticks, nail polishes, and mascaras, and many of their foundations have the same strengths and weaknesses (smooth textures and finishes plus the inclusion of sunscreens that are often without much-needed UVA-protecting ingredients).
The powders, several mascaras, pencils, matte-finish concealers, and Superstay Lipcolor are impressive and inexpensive. Although L'Oreal remains the more sophisticated and refined of the two lines (and now they have credible products, not just sleek ads, to back this assertion), Maybelline's latest urban image is a positive step, as many of their latest launches have been innovative without resorting to "been-there, done-that" gimmicks. Price-wise, Maybelline is the least expensive of the L'Oreal-owned cosmetic lines (which also includes Lancome, Biotherm, Vichy, and Kiehl's), and smart shoppers will note the similarities among brands that, with conscientious shopping, can really save you money without sacrificing quality or performance.

Judging by the name, I expected to get mile long lashes. What you get is ok length and beautiful, crisp definition. If you're going for the natural daytime look, this fits the bill to a T. I found that the primer step didn't make any significant impact on the end result, so I just skipped it altogether. In fact, it detracts from the overall blackness of the end result.

Wacker Chemical Corp. Manager of Corporate Communications William Toth said Tuesday the company plans no layoffs at its Charleston plant.
"Wacker announced this past October to reschedule start of operations at our Charleston plant to mid-2015. We are aligning our staffing to correspond with the startup of production and we are not planning any layoffs due to the rescheduled timing," he said.
Cleveland/Bradley Economic Development Council Chair Ross Tarver said he, Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce CEO Gary Farlow and Doug Berry, Chamber of Commerce vice president for Economic Development, recently had lunch with Dr. Ingomar Kovar, CEO of Wacker Chemical Corporation North America.
"This project is still moving forward with the same speed they recently announced, so I don't think we're having the same issues as Hemlock," Tarver said.
Hemlock Semiconductor is laying off three-fourths of its employees in Clarksville shortly before the planned start of production at its new $1.2 billion plant, according to a story by The Leaf-Chronicle. According to the Clarksville newspaper, officials of the Michigan-based company met with The Leaf-Chronicle on Monday and said the company is laying off 300 of its 400 employees in Clarksville and 100 workers at its Michigan plant.
Hemlock announced in 2008 its plans to build the facility in Clarksville. Officials at the plant near the Kentucky border said last fall they had plans to begin production of polycrystalline silicon in 2013.
According to the Leaf-Chronicle report, Hemlock President Andrew Tometich said the plant will be utilized, but added it's not known whether it will open for business at any time in 2013.
Wacker Chemie A.G. announced plans Feb. 25, 2009, that it intended to build a polysilicon plant west of Charleston near Olin Chemical Corp., which will be a supplier of chlorine used in the purification process of raw silicone.
The initial investment grew from $685 million to $1 billion, then from $1.2 billion to a current estimate of $1.8 billion. Construction work officially began April 8, 2011.
Berry said the company has a lot of equipment coming in and the distillation towers are going up.
"There are two up and a third one going up, so they're progressing," Berry said. "Essentially, the company has indicated that with the exception of the slowdown, this project is the same project it announced with the additional expansion this time last year."
Austin Peay State University developed a chemical engineering associate degree program to support the plant and state government put $6.4 million into construction of a campus building with intricate equipment needed to educate students taking the degree program. Training included a combination of classroom study and hands-on experience at Hemlock's plant in Hemlock, Mich., according to the Clarksville newspaper.
Chattanooga State Community College developed a similar program on its campus in the old Olan Mills building on Amnicola Highway. Wacker invested $3.25 million in the $5 million Wacker Institute. The state of Tennessee paid $13.7 million to buy and make infrastructure improvements. The training facility opened its doors Feb. 8, 2012.
Hemlock officials told the newspaper the layoffs were in response to a significant oversupply of polysilicon and the threat of protective tariffs on its product sold into China.
Toth said Wacker continues to focus on the worldwide photovoltaics market, which includes the United States and Americas region.
"There's no doubt there's huge disappointment in the state in the fact that we were hoping for big employment numbers there," Gov. Bill Haslam said Monday to The Leaf-Chronicle. "The only consoling factor there is they did make the capital investment they said they would make in the state."
In October, Wacker Chemie announced it was delaying completion of its $1.5 billion Bradley County plant by 18 months because of high inventory and weak demand pushing down prices for silicon wafers.
Company officials had earlier said the plant could be complete in 2013. The company says it now plans to start production at the new plant by mid-2015.
"Both Wacker and Hemlock would say this book isn't finished yet," Haslam said. "The state decided three or four years ago to make a big investment to be a leader in the production in polysilicon, and that market has gotten saturated. We're sitting where we are today where two folks have made really big investments in the state, but the employment and growth hasn't happened."
Berry said there has been an oversupply in the world market, and the projected tariffs on its products in China is an indicator of the differences in the Hemlock project and Wacker.
"Hemlock is a U.S.-based company that has an existing market share in the United States. That facility was intended to disperse a lot of polysilicon to markets such as China and emerging markets," Berry said. "Wacker, on the other hand, refers to this as a footprint for North America. What you have is a broader global perspective in the Hemlock operational perspective and Wacker saying they are establishing themselves for the growing and emerging U.S. market."
Farlow said the price has decreased, but the demand has increased.

Don't worry if I am a minute or too late, I will be watching Smallville until 9pm, but I will be here, I promise!!
While you are waiting, look for 2 photos! Don't forget, if you use my new kit, Shushybye, you will get a $2.00 coupon to my store.
See ya then!! :)
My boys are camping, so my evening is free, "see" ya there.
Let me go check what time sunset is and hopefully I'll be back.
My suggestion is start with journaling / title / date.

Najee Ali Emerges: Possible Successor to Imam W.D. Muhammad
July 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
LOS ANGELES, CA–Najee Ali, civil rights activist and leader of Project Islamic H.O.P.E, is emerging as a possible successor to his father-in-law the late Imam W.D.Muhammad. The Electronic Urban Report says that Ali will take a leadership role by tackling several issues affecting the black community.
"We still don't have an organization that speaks to our issues," said Ali. "Project Islamic Hope has decided to step up to the plate and fill the void."
"Everything that I have experienced in my life has led me to this moment. I feel I'm well prepared to carry on the burden and obligation that is before me in attempting to keep the indigenous Islamic movement alive," Ali added.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (02/11/14) - For some, Valentine's Day is a day of celebration for lovers, friends, and family.
For others, though, it's a day full of cynicism and melancholy, and these emotions may actually have more to do with the history of Valentine's Day than you think.
In Ancient Roman times, Emperor Claudius II executed a named Valentine on Feb. 14.
One story has Claudius banning marriage in his kingdom. It is said that he felt that married men were more emotionally attached to their families, and thus, would not make good soldiers. He believed that marriage made the men weak.
A bishop, Valentine, realized the injustice of the ban when he saw the trauma felt by young lovers who could not consecrate their feelings. Valentine went behind the emperor's back and joined couples in matrimony.
According to legend, Valentine was arrested and became good friends with his jailor's blind daughter.
When he was jailed, he sent her a farewell message right before his execution, signed "From Your Valentine," a phrase used thousands of years after.
The Catholic Church then honored the martyrdom with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day, according to a report on TheHolidaySpot.com.
Historians are not one hundred percent positive on the exact origins of Valentine's Day, but one thing is for sure: it is one of the most profitable holidays commercially.
The Greeting Card Association says 25 percent of cards sent every year are Valentine-related.
No matter the suspected dark origin of the holiday, Valentine's Day for most is a celebration of infatuation, appreciation, and devotedness.
The story of Saint Valentine might have had a sad ending, but for many, Feb. 14 will be a day full of happiness.Taylor Riley

Custom gift baskets are a great way to show clients both past and present that you are thinking of them. This token of appreciation when given out regularly or even just once can be enough to help maintain your client base and perhaps encourage an old customer to come back to your business. It may seem odd to think that a gift basket could help win back business, but the truth is most people just like feeling that their business is appreciated.
In addition, most people remember small gestures and you would be surprised at how long the receipt of personalized gift baskets will stick with them. Outside of showing gratitude, baskets are also an excellent idea for publicizing your company. If you are a specialty business or service than you likely already know what your ideal target audience is, so reach out to them with a gift that they cannot ignore.
Corporate gift baskets are an excellent way to do this since you can place your logo, brand name, or any artwork that you like onto the basket and sometimes even the products. This way when the basket is opened, consumed, or otherwise utilized your brand name will be the one thing that sticks in a client's mind. If you like, you can even consider carefully choosing the goods inside to represent your company's area of service!

adidas Team Speed Small Duffle Bag
Awesome all-around bag!
I play high school volleyball and basketball and this duffle has worked out great for me after 3 seasons of heavy use. The shoe compartment is convenient to keep my smelly shoes and ankle braces separate. The main compartment is roomy with a little zippered pocket for valuables and money. I also really love the large, easy-to-access packet on the front for small things such as deoderant, combination lock, tape, etc. The mesh pocket on the side is also nice although I wish it held my Gatorade squirt better. I love this plan and plan to use for sports all throughout high school!

Norwood, MA (05/19/2010) - Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications and RF IC function blocks covering the entire RF signal chain, today announced ADIsimPLL™ Version 3.3, a new generation of its successful phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit design and evaluation tool. ADIsimPLL Version 3.3 assists users in evaluating, designing, and troubleshooting RF systems exploiting Analog Devices' family of PLL synthesizers and is available from ADI's web site (http://www.analog.com/ADIsimPLL) free of charge.
Fully compatible with prior releases, ADIsimPLL Version 3.3 builds upon the success of previous versions of the software tool by adding support for 16 new devices, increased phase noise modeling accuracy and Fractional-N spur level estimation, along with enhancements to the tool's New Design Wizard, Time Simulation Engine and Time Domain Simulator features. These innovative features further remove time-consuming iterations from the design process, ultimately speeding the design to market.
About ADIsimPLL Version 3.3
The new devices included in ADIsimPLL Version 3.3 are the recently announced ADF4150HV and ADF4158 synthesizers; ADF5000, ADF5001 and ADF5002 RF prescalers; highly integrated ADRF670x quadrature modulators with integrated Fractional-N PLL; ADRF660x mixers with integrated Fractional-N PLL and VCO; ADRF6750 quadrature modulator and ADRF6655 mixer. To support these new highly integrated solutions, the ability to derive additional frequency outputs by dividing the VCO signal has been incorporated into the ADIsimPLL design tool. There have also been significant improvements and enhancements to the tool's simulation and evaluation capabilities. The phase noise simulation algorithms have been improved by the addition of the 1/f phase noise contribution from the digital dividers and the phase detector, resulting in highly accurate phase noise predictions from close to the carrier all the way to the broadband noise floor.
To assist in estimating the level of Fractional-N spurs, a new estimate of the worst case magnitude of the first three Fractional-N spurs is now calculated and displayed on the phase noise plots, which allows the user to evaluate different loop filter topologies and design parameters in order to manage the effect of these spurious signals. Furthermore, a variety of enhancements to the design tool have been made including those to the Time Domain Simulator to model the various modulation options available; and to the New Design Wizard so that the user can select from the range of options to generate the desired frequency. In addition, an output page for the secondary output is provided allowing different configuration options to be selected when the phase noise is displayed, and the Time Simulation Engine has been enhanced to accurately model the effect of the anti-backlash pulse.
To download ADIsimPLL Version 3.3, please visit http://www.analog.com/ADIsimPLL or learn more about ADI's RF ICs and the company's other RF design tools, please visit http://www.analog.com/RF.

Olympic Solidarity's aim is to organise assistance for all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), particularly those with the greatest needs, so that they can develop their own structures to favour the expansion of sport in their country.
To help NOCs to fulfil these objectives, Olympic Solidarity offers an efficient consulting service to assist them in gaining access to financial, technical and administrative assistance through:
In 1979, at the constituent Assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) in Puerto Rico, the IOC was asked to allocate 20% of the television rights earmarked for the NOCs to ANOC. In 1981, at the Olympic Congress in Baden-Baden, the IOC President at the time, Juan Antonio Samaranch, and the ANOC President, Mario Vázquez Raña, set up the Olympic Solidarity Commission, with an up-to-date strategy to respond to the interests and meet the needs of the NOCs.
Starting at the Games of the XXIII Olympiad in Los Angeles in 1984, the increasing income generated by television rights allowed the launch of key programmes to assist the NOCs. Since 1985, the Olympic Solidarity Commission has developed its activities on a quadrennial-plan basis.
The decentralisation process of the funds towards the Continental Associations was initiated in 2001, with the objective that Continental Associations should be able to decide on the use of financial resources according to their particular needs, priorities and interests, as well as those of their NOCs. For the 2005-2008 quadrennial plan and onwards, the Olympic Solidarity Commission has widened the decentralisation process to the Continental Associations and increased the financial assistance to the NOCs.
The global network of partners involved in setting up, implementing and monitoring Olympic Solidarity programmes, as well as providing technical expertise, makes up an essential action channel. Thanks to the contribution and support of the Continental Associations, ANOC, NOCs, IOC commissions and International Federations, as well as the high-level training centres, universities and experts in various fields, Olympic Solidarity is able to continue its mission of assisting the NOCs in the best possible conditions.

I went out today and actually sat in the sunshine and had a picnic. It's been raining here in the Bay Area for what feels like forever, so it was pretty amazing. I finished "Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World" by Michael Lewis (which is absolutely, fabulously good and you should read it right now, even if your eyes cross at the word "subprime") and then I caught the end of the ballgame and felt rather wonderful. I love many things about Spring Training, but I also cannot wait for the real thing to begin and for all the final roster cuts and all that jazz. I also can't wait for the Giants to be back in San Francisco. You are free to call me crazy, but let me finish first. I do not generally consider myself a psychic, but when the Giants are in town? I can totally feel the presence. Now I also believe that eating these Vitamin C gummy bears actually keeps me from getting sick, so I am probably not a source. But it's all psychological, so who can really argue with me?
Anyhow. This year, rather than repeating last year's Goodbye Spring Training – which you can read here, if you are so inclined – I am going to infuse a little bit of optimism into the (theoretical) mix. Ready? Okay. This is 10 Reasons I Am Excited Right About Now. The "now" I refer to is 5:55pm on the day the Giants played their last Spring Training game of 2012. You're welcome, historians 5000 years hence.
10. Zito's new mechanics! Yeah. April Fool's. I got you there, right? Right?
9. All of the various injured players re-proving themselves. Along with the young guys who just crack the team, the injured players have got to be some of the most fascinating storylines of the year. Lookin' at you, Buster Posey.
8. Speaking of which, Buster Posey. Can I (for once) speak for the whole of the Giants fanbase, when I say we are tremendously, tremendously stoked?
7. The Bruce Bochy show. KNBR listeners, you know of what I speak. Non-KNBR listeners, why the heck don't you listen?
6. Interleague Play. I still object on some sort of deep, moral grounds, Bud Selig, but since the Giants get the AL West this year, I am borderline mollified for the time being. Aside from the obvious they-are-playing-the-Rangers, I'm interested to see the matchup with the resident Interesting Team of the year, the Angels. Who also have quite a nice dining area which serves basically cold hamburgers, for whatever it's worth.
5. The draft. It's still many months off, but the beginning of the season does signal how it's getting closer and pretty soon, we'll be treated to the draft breakdowns in the media and all that fun stuff. July, it's Emily calling, can you please come a wee bit sooner?
4. The Hobbit movie. Well, I am.
3. Never using the Despicable Me balloon scene photos again. Because the Giants are not going to disappoint me that way this year. Positive affirmations are everything, people.
2. More animal themed hats at AT&T Park! And that right there was my second April Fool's. Aside from the obvious fashion-faux-pas-ness of them (it's hard, you know, to adequately match an outfit to a giraffe-print hat), there's the issue of short people like yours truly not really at all being able to see over them. Consideration is key, People Who Attend AT&T Park. Because we're getting back… together and all that.
1. Since I don't want to be lame and say the smell of fresh grass… I'll just say cinnamon roasted walnuts. Not the ones they sell at the park, mind you, because I am boycotting those because of labor issues with Diamond Foods, their manufacturer (not to be confused with Diamond Girl), but the other brands you can buy at the grocery story. They are dee-lish-us. And I am excited. Excited excited.
