Baby it's cold outside!!!!
Dh did go out early and ( of course it is still early here) for coffee and said the Roads are terrible and that we won't be leaving the house today. No problem as I have plenty to do. Check book etc , vacuum and clean the Bathrooms.
I am not going to start on my Challenge to myself to walk 45 minutes a day. Wish me Luck.
BBL to catch up on threads I have read but want to get on the Treadmill while I'm still in the mood .
Good morning ladies,
It warmed up over night here and it is 42 at the moment, it was zero this time yesterday.The temperatures are supposed to drop again today and by back to zero or lower before tomorrow morning. We are getting rain now but it is supposed to change over to snow before it ends later this morning. Sure is crazy weather this year!
Angii, sorry about the tension in your house. Sounds like your upcoming date night is really in need. Hope things are better before then.
Molasses, good for you cleaning out chemicals. My DH is being proactive with his health but it seems like every thing involves filling his body with chemicals ( shingles shot, pneumonia shot, joint health pills, low dose aspirin, vitamins) . Guess I should just be happy that he is concerned about staying healthy and taking care of himself but I keep thinking why are you putting that stuff in your body.
YAH, really wonderful slideshow that you posted. I just loved it. Hope the meeting at work gets canceled and you can stay in the warm today.
Alabama, sounds like a good day to stay in there. No sense going out on the roads if you don't need to . Stay warm.
Frozen bubbles! How cool is that Barb? You are finding all kinds of things to explore there.
Hope you had some good me time Sue.
Molly wants to go out, BBL.
Morning, all,
We have wind and rain this morning. I just took the dogs out and Chief wanted to turn around and come right back in. It's going to get nasty cold though later, glad I can stay in for a few days!
DH had to go to worker's comp court this morning. He was supposed to settle a case today for a client who was referred by someone else DH did a comp case for earlier. That person emailed him last night to say that the current client asked her to let him know that she wouldn't be able to make it to court this morning after all--she was arrested over the weekend for a traffic offense and didn't have bail money. I typed up an affidavit last night, and DH took it to the county jail this morning to have the client sign it; hopefully the court will allow the case to settle by affidavit. If not, it will be 3 weeks before they can get another court date, and the poor woman really needs the settlement money sooner rather than later (it can take up to 6 weeks to get the check after the settlement date). That was a new wrinkle on a comp case! Crossing my fingers that the comp carrier and judge will agree to put it through without the client appearing.
Your DH doesn't take a statin, does he, Dianna? The Grain Brain dr says the whole statin thing is way over-rated, that cholesterol is not the enemy of heart health but is needed for brain health. He could be wrong, of course, but being anti-statin personally (and having highish cholesterol), I was glad to read his perspective. (I'm skeptical of anything the pharmaceutical industry sells as an easy fix.) He does recommend certain supplements: fish oil, resveratrol, alpha lipoic acid, Vit D, turmeric. It's an interesting read if your library has it.
Good luck with your resolution, Bama. I suspect you will do just fine with it, as you are already in the habit of working out. And I think posting helps keep us accountable. Maybe we should do a Monday resolution check as part of the thread?
Sounds like the washer is done with the sheets, so I'd better go get them in the dryer (missing my clothesline!) and then get back to crossing items off my To Do list.
Have a great day, everyone, and let's make it a healthy week!
Yes Molasses, DH has been on Lipitor for years. His mother died in her 50's from heart disease so DH went on it as a preventative measure when he had some higher than desired readings.
Thank goodness things are back to normal today. DH is at work, and I am enjoying some quiet time before getting Dad up. Then I will take Charger to the park after finding my error in the check book and re-working the budget.
Bama, I hope you guys stay safe with your storm. And you get your walking in.
Di, you too! Stay safe. I know how you feel about all the chemicals and easy fixes. That is one thing I really like about Herbalife. It is a very healthy way to do things, and the science behind everything is amazing. A Surgeon General of the US, left his position to work for Herbalife. We also have the top Dr in the US for the last 13 years (as voted on by his peers) who also works for Herbalife. The company has been around for 33 years and operates in 91 countries. So you know that it has to be on the up and up to have been able to go into that many markets, and past that many government approvals! One of the speakers at my last training was a former Mr. Oklahoma, and he hasn't been to a Dr for anything other than wellness check ups in 13 years!
Mo, sorry about the court situation. Sounds like a fiasco! So when will DH be "retired"?
Yah, I hope you are staying warm too! And that the weather gets better before you have to go back to work.
Sue, I hope you enjoyed your Me day, and it sounds like you did.
I had my shake this morning. Got hubby his and made his up for lunch too. Our first class for the Weight Loss Challenge is at noon today. I will also get hubby's readings then!
Well I better go so I can finish my coffee and get Dad up. Here is our sunrise this morning. Taken with my cell phone so not a great quality picture
Morning ladies,
Hope the weather isn't too bad this a.m. Glad the potato soup was OK and more left is always good. Why thank you Bama and let me know the cost and shipping and I will reimburse you. Oh I wish Birdie would come visit more often.
Oh we loved the Murder She Wrote we got from Netflix, they had a lot of the seasons when we were watching. I agree, so cool to see them when they were younger. Oh and we love Diagnosis Murder too, and did watch the first 3 seasons that Netflix had and that's all they have, they never got the rest of the seasons out..very frustrating as we think they are only catering to streamers and the people who got them started us DVD people are being left behind.
Molasses, yes I remember those school trips and getting to have soda too. Oh yucky powdered milk. Oh I agree with you and Barb on the wasteless packaging but this was just ridiculous. Great new plan for DA on meds.
Sorry your teams lost Barb, and wish I could see the bubble.
Angii, HUGS on the togetherness and the house issues....my heart goes out to you and your hubby too...a lot of stress for you both.
YAH, will check the link out later on the pics for winters on the farm. Sounds like all your family is inundated with snow.
Bama, thanks for the start. And stay warm. Hubby is a brave an. Good luck with your chores today, lots to do here also.
Glad it's warmer there Dianna, yuck on the rain though. I am with you glad your hubby is proactive about his health. Yes, had a great me day.
Molasses, sounds like Chief is a smart dog LOL Oh poor hubby, very familiar with worker's comp as my first lawyers we the major ones in Bayshore, NY back in the day. Oh and have pity on me as he had a manual typewriter, and it was before copiers so I had to do 3 onion skin copies LOL
OMG on the client getting arrested, I hope it all works out.
Dianna, so had Chuck and he hasn't had any problems with the Lipitor and in fact, it has kept him alive.
Glad things are back to normal for you today, Angii. Enjoy your time with Charger at the park.
Lovely sunrise Angii.
Well I am off to breakfast, workout, shopping list and OMG phone calls to the incompetents...
Good DAy! A friend who happens to live in Arizona now at least sent this on FB Although I talked to my sis last night and they were having a lot of snow in Detroit! And St. Louis also. No snow here and its a sunny day but was -20 and now is -15 but the winds started up so the wind chill must be Low! I see up north is windy, cold And Snowy again! And to the east of Marq. I guess more so. They did cancel the meeting, because of people being off sick though. I'm just glad they did cancel it So I wouldn't be going anywhere though that would have got me out and to my son's house maybe. I know me, I'll just stay here and be cold But I should run the van as it hasn't been run for a few days.
Dh called dentist to call back as his big front tooth is moving around and probably has to be taken out. He has those English gap teeth, so he will have a big gap! I told him as long as infection doesn't get in there and it hurts to eat I'm sure and maybe dentist will have some answer for it also. He's over neighbor's anyway I think.
Bama, sounds like a good day to stay in for once Di, rain to snow does not sound very good 20's are going to feel so good here! Snow and 30's would be even better
Dh was on Lipator but got off it for the aches. I told him, take Lecithin like I do and Fish oil etc. but Dr. put him on some other kind. I know those Big companies need to make their money so I don't trust much of that. And they have the cholesterol levels so low, can be higher and no problem. I'd rather try anything natural anyway
Mo, sorry Dh had to go out today! Hope you don't get it to bad there either!
Angii, hope you enjoy your peaceful day Do you think your Dh maybe isn't ready to start the new way of eating and is nervous about it? Just wondered. I know its a great plan though and my sis and her Dh used to sell it long ago.
Sue, I imagine you are like Arizona, a bit warmer there? Ice balls would be more like it now from here, not snow balls Just getting sick of this frigid stuff Snow and a lot warmer would be nice now! Have a good day! All of you enjoy your day and BBL, Yah
Well, I guess there's no point in paying a doctor if you aren't going to follow their advice, Dianna! It doesn't sound like your DH is having adverse effects from the Lipitor anyway. My total cholesterol has crept up every year since I started menopause, but I'm not going to worry about it. Then again, I have no family history of heart disease although both my parents have high cholesterol, too. My mom's dad died of a stroke, but he was 83 (and on a statin, for whatever that's worth). Hard to say what the real truth is since 3 people can read the same study and come up with 3 different interpretations.
Hope you found your checkbook error, Angii. I'm sure you'll do well with Herbalife--you are very passionate about it! DH isn't going to be retired any time soon. He has a few cases to wrap up yet, which may take awhile, but he's going to be looking for something else to do.
Sue, when my kids were in school, I liked to remind them that we had to do our term papers on the typewriter--no cutting and pasting to move things around, you had to start all over if you wanted to move a paragraph. How much easier that all is now! Last night at the grocery store, the very young cashier was worrying because the woman ahead of me was complaining something rang up wrong. The cashier, who must have been new, was afraid she'd done something wrong and was going to get in trouble. I told her any error would be in the computer and not her fault. I also told her that I worked in a grocery store in high school. There were no scanners in those days--most things had price stickers, but we had to memorize the weekly ad so we didn't ring the sales items up wrong. She couldn't seem to even imagine such a thing! How old did I feel?
Glad you didn't have to go out after all, YAH, and hope your DH's tooth gets fixed without much trouble or expense.
DH did get his client's comp case through today, so she should be happy. He left home before 7 a.m. to get to the jail before having to be in court (in the other direction) at 8:30.
Guess I'd better go get my dishes done. Have a great evening~
Afternoon ladies. Well so far we are off to a good start. Cody and I need to make a meal plan and figure out exactly what we are going to eat and when so we can kick butt on this challenge.
I started the couch to 5k plan today. I think that if I can get to the point of running, that it will be good for Charger too. He would love it, and it is something that I can also do at the races in the pit area.
I just wanted to check in with my results for the day, Dinner tonight will be grilled Chicken and steamed veggies.
Wow, 42 would be amazing, Dianna! Everyone would be out in shorts and t-shirts here - LOL! It was definitely cold here last night and today. Maybe -35 last night?
Oh no on your DH's client, Molasses! Glad to hear the case got settled. I worked for a lawyer who did work comp cases, but we were on the management/insurance side. Long time ago.
That is a gorgeous sunrise, Angii! Beautiful color. Sounds like you're going strong on your new challenge program and business.
I guess I'm gonna have to dig out my LS walking DVD, Bama. I kind of miss my treadmill but I just don't have any room to spare. I think I still have a couple of hiking and biking in national parks DVDs too. Guess I'll just "hike in place" until spring.Heart disease runs in my family and I do have high cholesterol and HBP. I've been on BP meds since I was 36 and on a statin for around 20 years. I'm sure natural is better, but after all this time I'm not about to change. I don't have any side effects. I've also now lived longer than my dad.
Anyway, I had a "get to know you" sort of doctor's appointment today. She's young, and very nice. I'm good on all my scrips right now, but I'll need to get new ones when I run out. Just got a letter last Friday that my previous doctor just retired. Good for him! Anyway, she said we'll do lab work in April, and do my "Welcome to Medicare" checkup then. I also got an appointment next month for a consult with an ortho surgeon to see about getting my trigger finger fixed. It's really sticking with this cold weather and my previous surgeon said not to wait too long. Anyway, I spent some time on the medicare website trying to find out about supplement and drug plans. What a huge hassle. Looks like I'll have to spend a bunch of time on the phone in the next few days. Sue's least favorite activity -- and not mine either.
Hope your van is weathering the cold, YAH. DH said the steering in my Subaru was barely working until it warmed up - and it was in the garage! He made an appointment for next week to get a block heater installed. Unbudgeted winter expenses are piling up this year. We broke down and bought a small humidifier this afternoon too. It seems to be helping though. DH's new down parka is also on order.
Brrrr -46 windchill out there. Good thing I have a big pot of chili on the stove. And a pumpkin pie cooling. Hey, pumpkin is a vegetable, right? I used FF evaporated milk and coconut sugar. Have a good evening!
Hi ladies,
No nap as I am madder than a hornet at husband and just want to smack him silly today. I had to deal with all the incompetents today and when I got tears over the last one he got snippy and I snipped right back that he could deal with his 'cra&' next time. And he said he could do his stuff, well I don't see him ever doing it. Whatever...
YAH, I love the graphic with the family in Arizona. I see your sister is having snow in Detroit also. Glad you are sunny but still cold I see. Glad they cancelled the meeting. Sorry to hear about your hubby. Yeah we are supposed to go to low 60s today, but it sure is cloudy and damp, so we shall see.
Molasses, my BP increased with menopause too, hence my BP meds, but mine is also caused by my lung disease and of course, good old prednisone and the inhalers I am on.
Oh what a dream a computer would have been back then, since the ones we did have only dealt with punch cards and if you made a mistake at the end you were punching them all back in again...GRRRR
LOL Molasses, about the difference in times for the grocery store. Well at least your cash registers were automated and went higher. When I started in the garden center, we had the old fashioned pull ones and it only went up to $20 so when their orders were $100 or more, it was pulling it 5 times to put it all in LOL Like yourself we had to know all the sale items and prices too.
Good for you Angii with your progress today and your plan sounds good. Sounds like a yummy dinner.
Barb, yup that was us in Rochester, it hit 30 or 35 and we were all out in shorts and t shirts washing our cars. I am with you Barb, I have been on the meds for 13 and starting 14 years now and it works for me, not going to mess around. My doctors know more than I do. Barb, if I were you I'd go with the classic Medicare plan and as for drug plan I do like Wellcare, they do their job it's the doctor's offices that need to get their acts together.
MMM chili Barb, I'd say I come for dinner but nah....I will stay in California. LOL
Well I am all caught up and off to catch up on my next board.
Wish us luck with Handyride, Winco and our ice tea and shopping,
One of my favorite places is a bit iced over but still nice! I think tonight is going to be colder than last night here Barb! Its already -20 and windy and last night it took longer to get to -20 and no wind until later today it started. Schools are closed already again for tomorrow. I sure hope it warms up a Tiny bit by after that at least!! I ran my van for about 24 min. today. It started right off cause I didn't "touch" the gas at all Was a bit whiny for a few min. but was ok. To bad I didn't go somewhere with it So glad no meeting though. I think the supervisor was sick to. Son said so.
I threw a pork roast in oven but of course it wasn't done like the recipe said in the time said, so this oven must be a bit slower to. Put a can of potatoes since I don't have any otherwise, for Dh, a can of gr. beans and a can of stewed tomatoes and onions etc. and some chicken broth. I'd rather have sourkrout though Dh had to cut his meat in little pieces to chew it up as tooth is so loose. He called dentist today but I don't think he called back yet. Maybe tomorrow. Probably have to just get it out as it already had a gum thing? done on it, and just hanging mostly and he tried to pin it to the side tooth but he said that probably wouldn't work for long and he hadn't ever done that Not sure what can be done then but that tooth will come out as Dh probably could pull it out himself really. Hurts cause its moving around now and could infect the gum that way.
Course I'm hoping no one calls in tomorrow as I still hate going out in that cold stuff and I'm sure, well, harder to put more fans on at work and it does get hot when your working, but sometimes it takes longer for the others to get warmed up
Angii, yes, very nice pic and glad things are going better for you today!
Mo, I would imagine people would have to take a statin if their chol. is up to 300 cause thats getting high as a neighbor here had to. But my Dh's wasn't high so.....And I kind of laugh cause he listens to the Dr. to good for some of that, but smokes unfiltered cig. chain smoking and doesn't listen to the Dr. for that! He picks his stuff I guess
Barb, I kind of skipped the wellness part this last yr. end as I really don't have a Dr. in mind to go to. Hope you have more luck with that Well, a chilly good night to all of you and hope winter begins to warm up for all of us. Take care! Yah
Good Evening all, well we had to go out at 3:30 and it was -8 . Down lower tonite . Coldest it has been in 20+ years.
Barb, we took the Classic Medicare also. Can't tell you much about the Drug plan as we didn't take it and to get it now we would be penilized so much that coudn't pay for it anyway. I usually ask Drs for the Generic on all meds I take so I can get at walmart at the 4 dollars. There have only been a few that were really expensive so so far so good. The classic had been pretty good we think . 30 dollars for specialists and 10 for office call to a GP .
We have it thru Humana and with it we get free member ship to a gym . Can be use where ever I am as long as I go to one on the list . Her in Ohio it is the Y .
We had leftovrs today. I am going to do chicken breasts in the Crockpot tomorrow . A new recipe I found on my Crock pot forum . I think all it is is the Chicken Breast with stove top dressing on the bottom and then pour a can of Creamed chicken can over it . That;s what I can remember right now.
Sue i had to laugh at your cash register. The first grocery store I worked in at 16 had 1/2 cents on it. And how easy the Cashiers have it today . They don't really have to do much even the offer work is easier now. I was teling a cashier the other day how easy it was for them and she didn't agree with me. I mean they don't even have to got the change.
Be wearing flannels and socks tonite and it's time to go get them on.
Stay warm everyone.
Missed you Sue and wanted to wish you lots of luck with Handiride and shopping since you are going tomorrow then? Enjoy your evening also and hope you get a lot of rest tonight and those phone calls sound so miserable. I hate to do it and I should for stuff! Night all! Yah
Good morning,
It's 40 degrees colder this morning than it was yesterday morning. Guess our cold has arrived. Still isn't as cold as many of you. Stay safe and warm.
I skipped my meeting last night because of the cold and my cold. DH went to represent our team since he had another meeting in town shortly after the RFL meeting and had to be out anyway.
Just had Molly out and she is still barking at me. Guess I won't be spending much time on the computer this morning or she will be stealing and chewing up things again. She hasn't done that in some time but she's in that kind of mood this morning. I just tried to get her to come in here with me but she isn't interested in that. Nothing new to report from here anyway so guess I'll go curl up in my recliner in the living room and see if she'll let me go back to sleep for awhile. BBL.
Have a good day.
Hope you got to sleep a little more, Dianna, and can kick that cold quickly.
Yay on the Couch to 5K, Angii. Do you have a 5K in mind? Signing up for one is a great way to get hooked on running.
Glad you liked your dr, Barb, and hope you can get your finger fixed. My sympathies on the Medicare website--I went through that for DA's prescription plan in Dec., but it looks like it was worth it. Maybe next year I'll tackle it to see if there's a better supplemental plan for her, but I couldn't face it this year.
Our cash registers did go higher than $20, Sue, but they were the kind where you pushed the buttons like old typewriter keys. I thought they were kind of fun! Good luck with your ride and shopping today.
Your pork roast sounds yummy, YAH, even if you had to wait a bit for it!
Enjoy your chicken dish, Bama. I hope you don't have to run out for coffee this morning--it might be frozen by the time you get it home!
I've got a date for the Supreme 90 Cardio Challenge with DH in about 4 min., so I'd better get going. Have a great day, everyone!
The wind is really howling here, as it did all night. DH hung blankets over the front doors, and even our newish windows are letting in a draft. Although we live on the side of a hill where we get a lot of wind, It's been a long time since we've had it like this. A good day to stay inside, for sure.
Morning all, we just got back from venturing out not that we wanted to . Son had a flat tire and DDil couldn't get her car to go so we had to take them both to work. She works close by about 15 minutes but he works further and off the interstate but the interstate is good so no problems No sooner did we get home that DIl called and said that they were sending her home so we had to go back and pick her up. So we are now home until 5 ish and then pick up the son.
I got my working in and the house vacuumed and dusted before we had to go . Getting up at 5 you can do a lot. LOL>
Got some chicken breasts in the Crock pot with Dressing underneath and a can of Mushroom soup . Don't know about it but we will see . Recipe calls for cream of Chicken soup but I didn't have any.
Sorry about your Cold Diane . I thought I was getting one and I took some Coldeeze I think it is called and thank goodness it went away. So far so good on this trip.
Talked to our friends in Alabama yesterday and the Wife teaches in Florida and they closed the school down yesterday and today . So you know it is cold everywhere. I think she said it was 15 degrees. Course there is no ice and snow.
Well I am going to get off of here and read some of my book.
Stay warm everyone . We are going to have a heat wave this weekend.
I noticed that the Soda in the garage was partially frozen so it is cold.
Morning ladies. Not sure what all I will get into today. I thought that I had to take Sissy in for a meeting with the state to see if she can still get benefits, and when I called because I had a question about the paperwork, the letter was sent out in error, and we don't have to go.
SO I have the CG here, with no real plan for the day, I need to go to the store and get some new sports bra's as the one I was wearing yesterday didn't really help a whole lot. The girls were sore after the run.
Mo, I don't have a run in mind. I just want to be able to run. I can't really run right now. At least not far, and I know that it would be great for Charger if I could so that is why I am doing it.
Di, glad you are a little warmer!
Yah, so happy your van started. Hope that you didn't get called in today.
Sue, the new school rigs are not that bad, you just have to remember that they are made for idiots who don't know how to change a tire or even check their air pressure! LOL Pretty soon they are going to make a car that you don't even have to drive. It amazes me that we now have cars that will park themselves, and even apply the brakes for you to avoid a collision. I like having control! Good luck with your rides and shopping today.
Barb, I am sorry about the unexpected winter expense. But just think, you will be all set for next winter.
Bama, sorry about the extra running around. Hope that your SIL doesn't also get sent home early.
Well I am off. Need to call to set up Dad's ride for his Urology apt on Thursday.
-16 with the windchill this morning; I go up to take a shower and find the bathroom window open 5"! I had to run the ceiling heater for 20 minutes before I could face getting undressed. Maybe it's the wind making everyone crazy. I went to see DA a little bit ago, and saw the sun was in her eyes, so I put down the blind. "I can't see; open that back up." So I did. 10 minutes later, I look in her room, and she's got a tissue stuck between her eyes and her glasses. I go in and she says, "the sun is in my eyes, pull the blind." Keep in mind, she is perfectly mobile and could get up and walk the five feet to pull the blind herself, but then I guess I wouldn't have a story to tell!
Sorry about your DS and DIL's car troubles, Bama. and hope they can get one fixed before tomorrow.
Glad you didn't have to go the meeting, Angii. Here's my advice to new runners: don't try to run too fast at first; plenty of time to add speed later, just go slowly. I always thought I hated running because I thought I had to go out there and go full speed; I ended up with my heart pounding, my legs and lungs burning, gasping for breath and thinking, "yeah, right, runner's high, my fanny!" By the way, I wouldn't mind one of those cars that drive for you!
Guess I'll go bundle up and run out for the mail~
Just got an email from the power company:
Thank you for joining utility customers in 13 states and Washington, D.C., in conserving electricity today to enable the regional power grid operator to deal with extremely high demand.
You can continue to help during this ongoing arctic blast by:
Every step you can take helps the electric supply in this region be better able to meet demand.
Oops, I guess they didn't know I had a pot of pea soup on the stove and a pan of GF corn muffins in the oven when they sent it. I'll try to do better.
Well Good day all! Seems I've been on here for a bit sometimes but never got to posting. Dh woke me up again early, took a iron smelly shower and all I told him with all the time he had yesterday later, why didn't he do it then? Dentist did call this morning later but see's him tomorrow I guess and ear appt. then to but I'm sure he's not getting the hearing aid then if at all if it costs So I read my book to stay in a warm bed and he of course was back upstairs after waking me up. i tried to fall asleep but no go. It was -30 here this morning so was not putting all the heat things on for a while. Only got to -10 anyway and is on its way down again No school her tomorrow again. I know, I should have gone son's house early but....I get stuck in here somehow. Its all clear skies here so will be Cold but snowing all day up north as I checked MTU's website and all So I guess we have it Half good here! It's breezy so I can imagine what the wind chill is! Poor birds and all out there! I know the deer are having a hard time especially up north.
Di, hope your cold lasts only a day and glad you didn't have to go out in the cold. Is the cat staying in all the time or does it want to go out in the day? I remember when we had one of our dogs, just had to have attention Can't remember what happened to it but we didn't have it long.
Bama, well I hope your son and DIL can get their cars going as you wouldn't be there all the time hey? Maybe newer batteries? I guess mine is ok as I just flooded it but still want to get a new one later on. Got a couple that spent 2 wks in Fl. and their on their way back to the work town, had to stay a few nights and going around Indiana as roads were closed there. Everyone keeps telling them on FB, go back to FL! I'm sure they would if they could compared to up here its nice.
Mo, sorry about your bathroom window! Nice letting the heat out! Wish the sun would be able to hit me in the morning, might warm it up Your Da just wants your attention hey? And you are so good to her Stay warm.
Angii, well you can plan something else then and enjoy your day I hope! No running for this lady, just wish I could walk more Hope you get into it slowly and Charger will sure love it!
Barb, frozen yet? Sue, hope you had a good shopping trip!
DIL was saying Josie has been getting up at night and not going back to sleep so easy. Maybe dreaming? She screamed when she saw a moose or elk on a cartoon I guess the other day. Course with the bigger tv's they have nowadays although they don't have a real big one, the animal must look really big to a little one Maybe she keeps thinking of that. Never had the problem here as I stick with the little tv's and they were black and white to Good enough for me. Well I hope you all have a very relaxing night and keep cozy to Yah
Di, saw your post and that would be hard as I'm trying to use more electric heat than that expensive oil Have to cook and all after 9 pm? Good luck! Yah
Well Sunday I was smelling fine, with my body butter, spritizing, steaming, mask, creaming and my hair still looking great since the conditioner is a once a week thing.
Had a nice Sunday....relaxing and fun as I got to answer emails and get caught up. Plus watch my workouts for Monday. Also took Xmas songs off MP3 and filled it up with the Grass Roots, Tommy James & the Shondells Bo Donaldson & the Heywood's, Paper Lace, The Four Seasons, Warrant's Cherry Pie, Grease Soundtrack, Terry Jacks and Neil Diamond
Had a yummy dinner of spaghetti with some hot Italian sausage with some of my Chunky mushroom sauce topped with some parmesan/romano cheese and a small glass of my Beringer's white zinfandel, plus we finally got in our Fast & Furious 6 in so watched that Sunday night and it was just awesome, but some sadness knowing Paul is no longer with us. So sad.
Monday was my first day back to workouts and I was very happy to get back into the swing of things. However, was and stayed tired throughout the day as I woke up for 2 pit stops and many wake ups during the night.
While hubby had Buddy out I called his doctor's office and left a message for Amy about his meds arriving on Friday, at 11:03 a.m. and signed my Rodriquez and could she be sure they got out as with the delays he is on his last 30 now. So we shall see, it's tickled for Friday and I will check again. Then I called Winco to put aside the ice tea's we need.
We did our shopping list with our coffee and then I went back on the phone while I did my contests...as I was on hold, of course. Tried to find out about my thyroid meds at pharmacy but got nothing. So called Wellcare about the question I had for them and of course had to go through all the voice mail prompts...gosh I hate all of those things, but seems like every office and place has them today. So finally got someone and got our question answered on the reference number now for our bill pays. So she'd better be right. Then since I had issues with the pharmacy I asked her to transfer me to them as she was with the pharmacy since the lady at Wellcare conferenced the call to her for me. But I sat on hold for 15 minutes and finally gave up since I had more calls.
So next up the oxygen place to find out where it was and how it worked if we came there to pick them up, which is what we are thinking of doing as 6 tanks would cost a lot and mean cutting into our shopping list again later this month. So we shall see.
Then I finished up emails and it was time for comics and hubby and I had a tiff and he snapped and I snapped right back.
As I said didn't even take a nap Monday being so aggravated with hubby with his attitude about my dealing with the incompetents with him I was so irate and caught up some more on other boards. He got up and noticed a message so I checked it and well the hits keep coming as now his doctor's office left a message that they aren't mailing his meds anymore so we have to come and pick them up.
So between the oxygen and now the meds too....not happy campers. However Chuck thought of calling Terri, (the lady that first was recommended to us for rides many years back and who gave us Maryann). So called her last night and sounds like she has slowed down so had some days available so we will call her for the oxygen. Though I did write to Apria so we shall see. And Chuck is going to call his doctor's office about the all of a sudden "no mailing medss and having to pick them up" since his Doctor is the one that approved it 8 years ago.
Had a nice evening of Charmed and Leave It To Beaver and then checked more disks.
Off to bed and since I had to take an allergy pill, I went out like a light however, Chuck said I was snoring very loudly so he didn't sleep too well.
So both a bit tuckered out this a.m., but had our trip to the store and now on to the RIDE AND GROCERY REPORT....as for the rides....we couldn't ask for better ones, she arrived about 20 minutes into our window, in fact, I was making a pit stop when Chuck yelled a bus was coming. A lady we have gotten frequently lately....and sad to say I don't know her name. Will have to ask her next time. Plus we went DIRECTLY TO WINCO....
So now on to the GROCERY REPORT....while Chuck took off shopping I took off to go pick up the ice tea we called in. Well nobody could find it. So they paged Jessica, the gal I spoke with....in fact twice. While I was waiting I got Buddy's $10 split into 5 singles and a $5 bill. We took part of it and bought him treats and will get him a toy with the other $5....a present from one of his aunties!
Well Jessica finally came and she looked everywhere and couldn't find it at all. So she said I can got get some and I said we'd just stop and get it with our other stuff. We just call to be sure it's available and this way we have it and don't find out there isn't any. Which we did find out for my Wild Raspberry as they didn't have any jars. We are thinking of just buying it from WM as it's cheaper and they have the larger diet jars, which are a much better buy too.
So I went and looked for Chuck and found him and he had already gotten my shampoo and a bunch of other stuff too. So we moseyed on and got the rest of the stuff on our list, most of which was below what we had price wise on the list. Plus they still had some of the Hy-Top saltine boxes so Chuck got 3 of them....and my HOT CHOCOLATE was still on sale for $3.98....THE BIG JAR....
Barilla pasta was on sale for 98 cents, including the orzo which SaveMart has for $3.59....BIG savings. We also got a loaf of French bread from Winco as our one from SaveMart is almost done.
And I got my faux crab so I will be making up some yummy crab salad too....well after I finish my pepper jack cheese this week, so will have crab salad on wheat for next week and the week after.
We also checked some stuff like sponges, tin foil, Peanut Butter, jelly, body sponge, pepper and a bucket....Chuck found a great bucket....and he said we will get it next time....so no more taped bucket....hoping we can really do it next trip. But prices were good for all of the stuff, so happy campers we were.
In fact, such Happy Campers......when we got our totals (separate cards for today....as put paper products, cleaning, etc...what we call the right side of the list stuff) on one card and grocery stuff on the other. We saved close to $25....from what we had price wise on the list. Plus we added some things also.
Then to complete the very successful trip...we walked out the door and what do we see in the pick up area....BUT A HANDYRIDE BUS....heck we couldn't done any better if we did drive....and it was the same lovely lady that picked us up this morning and we went straight home.
So a wonderful trip there and back and a fantastic grocery trip.
Got home a little after noon time, unloaded, cleaned up Buddy's stuff, and ourselves, had lunch, and checked my mail. Have some emails I hope to do today, but if not, will do tomorrow. Plus had to complete a Winco survey as they are giving away 25 cards for $500 gift card to Winco....we would love that....so wish us luck.
Now off to check on some stuff before it's time for comics and crackers...as we are both tired and the AQ here is very bad so we both some very tight chests today, which makes us even more tired.
So out a bit early and a nice nap....as for dinner, the last of our cheesy enchilada's tonight and of course, it's Tuesday so the CSBM network will have Hunter and Renegade for our viewing this evening...as it's my night.
I hope you had a wonderful day and the same for the evening,
Afternoon ladies. I just finished the second day of the workout, and I am feeling it, but before I could do that, I had to go get a new sports bra. It is amazing how much better today went and Mo, I am not worried about speed, I don't care if I am slower than a herd of turtles, at least I am doing it!
Tonight we are having dinner of ribs with my homemade jalapeño jelly and raspberry jelly as a sauce. Instead of a store bought raspberry chipotle, or bbq.
Cody and I made up the meal plan and I ran and got the stuff from the store that we wanted. I am so excited! LOL I even splurged a little and bought a long sleeve workout top so when I am on the treadmill (outside) I am a little warmer. Plus I am hoping to actually get off the treadmill at some point and run in the neighborhood. It was raining to much for me to attempt it today.
Sue, glad the trip went well! And awesome job on the savings!
Yah, sorry you were stuck in the house, and I hope that your DH's appointments go well.
Mo, sorry about the open window, and DA's window issue too!
Di, I had to laugh about the letter. We kept getting letters saying we were using more power than anyone in our neighborhood. Well we have one of the biggest houses on the block, and Dad's concentrator is running 24/7 and uses a TON of power as we could tell by the time that Dad spent in rehab and it wasn't on.
Well I better run, and I already did that so I mean I need to go and see what else I can get done.
Evening Wowers,
Yep, YAH, it's still cold here. Hoping for above zero temps in a few days, though.
Not much going on. Thanks for the tip on Humana, Bama, although I'm not sure they are up here. I'm meeting with my insurance agent tomorrow afternoon & will learn more. Unfortunately, I take 7 meds daily, and a couple more on an as-needed basis. Although all are generic except for one, and the nearest Walmart is 80 miles away! Target has a program, but they're an hour away, as is Walgreens. I don't think Shopko Pharmacy has anything like that. I did call my insurance company about the shingles vaccine and they cover it 100% - yeah! I made an appointment for Thursday since I have to get it done before the end of the month. My BIL came down with it when he was out of town for the holidays a couple of years ago and it is excruciatingly painful. I'll get the vaccine, thank you!
Not much else going on. Just trying to catch up on errands, cleaning and paperwork.
Guess I'd better get going on dinner. Chicken Marsala on the menu -- I haven't made it for years, but it's tasty!
My dad used to have Humana, Barb, but he said their pharmacy quit accepting it, so now they have Medica. I'm wondering about getting DA's prescriptions on a mail order plan; I hear that's less expensive but haven't really looked into it at all.
Yay on your workout, Angii--you'll be hooked on exercise in no time! Your ribs sound awesome.
Glad you had such a good ride and so much savings today, Sue. And yay on the bucket! I'm crossing my fingers on the Winco card for you.
Pea soup and cornbread sounds like a nice comforting dinner on a cold night, Dianna! How is it going with the cat inside?
Sorry about your DH waking you up, YAH, and about Josie having nightmares. Guess your DH has no idea how much noise he makes since he can't hear it very well!
I am pretty annoyed with my DH at the moment. He went to DD's this morning, and when he came home he said he had gone there to use her computer to buy me an anniversary present. (Our 30th anniversary is next week.) When he told her what he was doing, she suggested he talk to me rather than buy me expensive jewelry, because I am not an expensive jewelry person. So that's what he did, he came home without ordering anything and told me. And I said, "I'm glad you didn't buy anything. I am not really into expensive jewelry." I wear my wedding rings, and that's about it, other than an inexpensive bracelet (or a bunch of them) once in a while. So then he goes out this afternoon, and at dinner he tells me that he bought me a present. I hope it's not jewelry, I said. It is, he says. I swear I wanted to stab him in the forehead with my fork. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ME HAPPY, THEN LISTEN TO WHAT I TELL YOU--DON'T GO BUY SOMETHING I DON'T WANT JUST BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD. He might as well have spent the money on something for himself, because whatever it is, odds are, it's just going to tick me off whenever I look at it. So then he tells me it made him feel good to buy it and I should graciously accept it. So I have a week to work up some fake gratitude. Oh, thank you so much for doing exactly the opposite of what would make me happy--but hey, as long as you are happy, that's all that counts.
LOL Mo! yes, like how many time do I say I love flowers and I don't like chocolates and finally he gets me something on our anni. since he never has for Many yrs., and what is it? A box of chocolates! I told him to enjoy them! He said flowers aren't about in the winter? Like what? I see flower shops all over! Men! I don't wear jewelry so that wouldn't be good either for me They don't listen I guess At least he put some effort in it though as our's has been pretty much just another day for SO many yrs. Sometimes the boys would give me something to make me feel better
Sue, great shopping trip you had and the ride seemed to be just in time also! Hope you get some good sleep to tonight! Take it easy and enjoy your shows soon
Angii, wow, sounds like you have a good exercise plan And the electric co. doesn't seem to know what some people Have to have going in their houses also! I suppose the days are coming when no matter, they will tell us how much we can use! Like everything else out there.
Barb, keep warm, schools closed here again for tomorrow. Sure keeps snowing up north though! I don't know much about my ins. except that we had Blue Cross/Blue Shield and that continues into Medicare Plus with that but we have a different plan for dental and a different one for vision. And suppose to get a different name on prescription's card also which I guess I have to call for since I didn't get mine
Well, better go as I was just thinking I haven't looked at bill's due soon and I Better do it now! So Dh can mail them if I don't get called in Sleep good! Yah
The cat has adapted to being in the house and doesn't even ask to go outside any more. He is doing okay except for occasionally overshooting the litter box. He only uses the edge for some reason. Years ago we had a cat that would stand on the rim off of the box to use it because she didn't want to put her feet in the litter. I don't think he has gained any weight yet. He eats but I don't think he is absorbing any nutrients. He's supposed to go back to the vets to be weighed any day now so we'll see if he has made any progress with gaining weight.
Anniversary gifts have kind of fallen by the way side here. He'd do more if I'd want him too. We've reached the point in our lives that we don't need things and I don't buy something if I don't need it. I don't wear jewelry except for a watch and my wedding band. He bought me a very nice diamond anniversary ring for our 25th anniversary and I can't tell you the last time I wore it. I don't like going out to eat, I'd rather cook for us. I like flowers but would kill him if he bought cut flowers ( a waste in my mind). I tell him to give me a rain check for some impatiens to plant in the spring. He is more likely to get me a card than I am to get him one unless I make it. I get annoyed at the price of greeting cards. He still asks if I want to do something special for our anniversary but he knows that I don't. I'd rather stay home and sit on the swing with him for awhile after a productive day of yard work. As far as expensive gifts, he knows better. I got furious one Christmas when I thought he bought a set of expensive prints for me. He had to show me that he made them on the computer and framed them so I calmed down. That was years ago and now he asks if I want something rather than just getting it for me. Hope your gift turns out to be something that you truly like and you can accept it graciously, Molasses. Maybe it isn't jewelry and he is just stringing you along to throw you off track. I thought you were going on a cruise or something for your 30th anniversary.
Insurance, DH went with a Blue Shield supplemental policy after he began Medicare. It's a little more expensive but his doctors are all in network and we've had good coverage from Blue Shield in the past.
Weather, we are a balmy 3 degrees this morning. We're forecast to hit 50 over the weekend. Warm but rainy.
Angii great job with your workout. I admire runners and I know Molasses will give you great advice.
Glad you had a good shopping day Sue. We're deciding if we are going out today or wait a day or two for the warmer temps. We both need to get phone minutes on Friday so we might wait until then and do it all in one trip.
I'd hoped to get back to some exercise this week but so far it hasn't happened. Still coughing sneezing and blowing my nose every few minutes. I looked online for the Easy Spirit anti-gravity shoes that I like so well and it appears that style isn't sold anymore. I am hard to fit so guess I am going have to go someplace where I can try shoes on before buying. I had a dream last night about ordering a pair that were a real disaster.
Well better go get breakfast and get moving on my day.
Have a great day.
Morning all , We just got back from taking our son to work and the roads are somewhat better . But to me it's still bitter cold.
Not much else going on here. We are meeting some friends for an early Dinner on the other side of town at Outback. Haven't been there in probably 10 or more years . I seem to remember they have a blooming onion thingy which my DH says he is getting. I think I will settle for a salad and some of his Onion. They are good but oh so unhealthy.
Barb, I had the shingles a few years back and yes, they are terrible . Very painful for sure and seemed to last forever . Do get the shot if it will keep you from getting them .
Mo, I finally got it into my DH's thick head to not buy me anything . Sad to said it was always to small, too big . Didn't like it or something. The last thing he bought me was when we first moved to Alabama which has been some 20 years ago. A Liz Claybough wind suit that the jacket had sail boots and summery types of things on it . The pants were way to long for me and had zippers in them so I couldn't shorten and it hung in the closet for years . Actually until this past summer where I finally sold it at a yard sale for 5 dollars. Cost 130 when he got it for me. I understand exactly where you are coming from . Now if he were to buy you a kindle that would be nice cause you could download your games, books and take it with you . I guess you can tell that I am pleased with my kindle.
Yah, I hope you are keeping warm and Sue your shopping trip sounded very nice .
Di, hope you cold is better today.
Angii, Sounds like you are in a better mood also.
Just think someday your DH could be around all the TIME. LOL . I think we all need that little time to ourselves occasionally .
Well I am off . Got my nose stuck in the kindle trying to finishing one of the Sisterhood books.
Di, you were posting as I was and then I had to copy and past as there was NO SUBMIT REPLY . I getting a little annoying about that.
Morning ladies.
Please say a Prayer for my friend Amy who is having a lumpectomy today. She is the wife of one of our racing friends. We will stop in and see her this weekend when we are in Seattle for our banquet.
Not sure what all I will get into today. I don't have the caregiver until this afternoon, so whatever I do will be around the house, I may still take Charger to the park after Dad is done with breakfast though.
Mo, sorry about the present issue with your DH. Mine wanted to do something "big" for me for Christmas, and I couldn't really think of anything, I had him get me some gold hoop earrings from Amazon. They are small enough and thin enough that I can wear them all the time, and I can even wear them with my helmet for the race season. They were $20, and I needed 2 pair (multiple ear piercings) so that was my "big" gift. I would love an anniversary band, but I have a custom wedding band, and would need to have an anniversary band custom done as well, and I can think of a much better way to spend $1500.00.
Sue, glad the shopping trip was a success!
Bama, I hope you have a good time at the Outback. We also haven't been to one in years. But I have enjoyed the bloomin' Onion in the past. But I love Onion rings.
Di, I hope you guys decide to wait on going out until Friday, and it warms up for you.
Barb, I hope you are staying warm.
Yah, I hope if you don't have to work, that you can do something fun.
Well I better go and finish my coffee so I can get Dad up and moving.
HI, well this is the Falls in winter I guess Looks like root beer. It still was -15 at 10 a.m but finally warming up and suppose to get to 5-8 above today Real warm! And down again tonight I'm sure. Don't know if my DB and SIL got back yet to up north but they sure have had the snow since they went before Christmas! Guess they were waiting to feel better for their trip back.
Dh went with the van to his appts. so I am stuck here anyway. Didn't know he was taking it but....he was up early enough again. Not sure what they will do about that tooth of his. And I don't know if he'll order another hearing aid either To bad they don't have ins. on that.
Di, well it sounds like its warmer up more there! I guess the cat knows now its a bit warmer in the house hey? He will enjoy his last years anyway.
Bama, guess you had to give a ride again there? Mu nephew and nieces all work at Outback down by Detroit One niece is the manager of one and they all were part time works first but worked up. They've helped a lot with my missing niece also to make some money for the P.I. Enjoy as I have never been in one.
Angii, prayers for your friend! Hugs to you to! I had a $10 wedding ring and that was it Wouldn't fit now even if I hadn't lost it in the lake long ago. Hope you have a good day with the CG there to let you get some things done
Well, still cool around here. Sun is shining and also cloudy. Have to get some more bird seed out there. I hope Dh remembers to get some bottled water at least. Have a great day everyone! BBL, Yah
Well our dear Elvis would have been 79 today.....
Off to breakfast, workout and hubby said only one call dealing with the incompetents today...(I have to call on my thyroid meds), and the rest of the day dealing with other things...'WORKS FOR ME'
I forgot I had this pic copied and somehow copied the Falls later! Happy Birthday Elvis indeed!! Miss his great voice and the good hits I'd sing to the cows I can sound like him sometimes to Good luck on that call Sue and hope your day turns out great then!
Dh got his tooth out, not he says he has a real pirate smile I told him, just a bit bigger gap then he already had! BBL, Yah
Afternoon ladies,
I met with my insurance guy and my application is in for an Advantage plan through Humana. Very reasonable, and I'm used to co-pays and budget for them. I can always change next October. I'm glad to have it done. Now I have to try and find another policy for DH since Blue Cross raised the premium over $100 a month.
I think I'd better get going on paperwork this afternoon. And maybe a short nap. I have a feeling we'll be out photographing the northern lights tonight -- hope so, anyway. Take a look outside tonight, YAH -- it's supposed to be a big storm! It's not quite as cold, but will still be well below zero. I'm rounding up all the cold weather gear.
Of course I have two morning appointments tomorrow. That should be fun if we're up all night - LOL!
I need to get some lunch. See you all later.
Wow Yah, that is a young picture of Elvis . I don't think I have seen one. I only got to see him in concert one time and that was when he was very young . Something I will never forget. Nothing like the concerts of today i'm sure.
We had a nice visit with our friends at Outback. I wasn't really thrilled with their food . I remember it as having been much better but the company was great so it was all ok. It was clear across town and and we actually got lost for a few . That end of town of changed so much since we lived here 20 years ago.
I stopped at a Good Will(you know i do every chance i get and this one is in a very ritzy area) and found another sister hood book I don't have and also found a very very nice jacket by Lands End for my son. Has zipped pockets and two inside pockets so I just hope it will fit him. Sad to say but my DIL seems to only buy for herself and the kids and he goes with nothing. Maybe it is that he doesn't want anything tho so I shouldn't lay it all on her .
Yep, Barb we are satisfied with Humana . We don't have any thing extra with it but I do like that you get a free membership to a local gym. I'm sure they have that everywhere. It's called silversneakers . Our plan doesn't cost anymore than what the SS adminstration takes out . It's really the regular SS but handled thru Humana but thats 80/20 so we felt that was good enough. Life is a gamble you know .
Well time to pick up my kindle and finish my 4th /5th sisterhood book . This one is pretty good. Free fall I think is the name.
Thought this was a good idea! One way to remember and then get rid of right?
Getting nice and cold again and must be clear out there. Barb, not sure but maybe I'll peek outside once tonight Hope you get some good pic's!
Dh got his tooth out and also has another appt. to maintain his one hearing aid later and maybe get another one that he lost soon but he has to pay $300 anyway for it
I told him they should put them on his glasses!
Oh, and older son got picked Employee of the month also in his first month!!! they stay up there for 3 months for a chance so that was good and should have been a long letter about what he does really but only a short one from a new hk about him helping etc. so that was pretty good. Special parking space for him for him for the month and I told him if he's not working and I am, I can park there right? And I don't know what else but some free lunch tickets and since he's in kitchen, they eat free so guess who gets them? Anyway, proud of him and this was late in coming I'd say but seems no one picks guys to fast in there. I told him with everyone with xmas etc. on their minds, he might not get picked this month since I know a lot who just forgot to put the paper in the box on their way in. I usually do also.
Long day and I think it got to 3 above here but school is finally back to normal but dress warm they say. Not very high yet. Dh made meatloaf and I made with the little bit of beef left, with tater tots etc. another meal So whoever wants to will have something in the fridge.
I hope you all get warmer than we are and have a nice evening or night and sleep good to! Its hard to sleep in the morning, as I always seem to wake up to early and then wonder if the phone will ring before i can go back to sleep Nice to just sleep and know I guess. C U, Yah
I see you posted Bama and if you go on Elvis Presley or Graceland one on FB, you will find lots of pic's and maybe some from youtube singing one's to! Just start printing graceland and the Elvis one will pop up and you click on that Lots of pic's. I will have to go back and see what else I can find or some songs to play. Hope the jacket fits and you can sure find some good one's sometimes! Enjoy reading! Yah
I won't be here in the morning as Dad has a Dr appointment. I will be back in the afternoon.
Today was awesome! I went to the weight loss challenge meeting tonight, and I got to help out making shakes and stuff. Plus I talked (by text) to one of my cousin's and I am going to call her tomorrow and get her started on the products.
See you all tomorrow afternoon!
This is all for me this morning, LOL . I will be back .
Well time for me to catch up.....
YAH, I see you were extremely cold on Monday and the schools were closed too. Glad the meeting was cancelled. Your pork roast and extra's sounded yummy. Sorry about hubby's tooth.
I see your area has been hitting records too Bama. I see you took classic Medicare, I took the regular plan as that was what they gave me when I was so sick. But would have opted for it anyway. Yeah you had to take the plan initially. They cashiers today can't even count it's scary.
Thanks for the good shopping vibes, YAH...as you can see by now the trip was great.
I see your cold arrived too Dianna and can't say I blame you on skipping the meeting. Glad to hear Molly has been better too.
That's the problem we have Molasses, all the windows here (one in kitchen) and the two sliding glass doors are single pane and in the winter it lets all the cold in and in the summer the heat.
Bama, the kids were lucky you were there to help them out. Hope your chicken breasts and soup turned out alright.
Glad you didn't have to deal with the state for Sissy, Angii. Don't ya love how they can make mistakes but recipients can't. Hope you found a good sports bra. I know Angii, it's unbelievable what the cars will do today...probably so the idiots that have to text and talk on their phone, while driving don't kill themselves or others. I am with you when I was driving I was in control and I liked it that way. All this stuff is computerized and we all know what happens to them sometimes....LOL
Yikes Molasses on the bathroom window being open...I hate taking showers here in the winter as we have to turn the heat off or we have no hot water (remember both heat and hot water on the same hot water heater)....dumb dumb.....and the first guys here with the old company had the audacity to tell us when we called to find out what was the matter with the heat that this is the system that is used back east. And we said 'oh really' we are from back east and back there it's on a separate system buddy!'
HUGS on your DA with the sun and the blind.
LOL about the letter from the power company Dianna.
YAH, sorry hubby woke you up taking a smelly shower. I see he has a ear and dentist appointment too. Sorry you couldn't get back to sleep and he woke you up again. Yikes that cold...I'd want to stay under the covers too. Ahhh HUGS to poor Josie.
Glad you got your bra, Angii and a workout shirt too, I see. And your rib and jalapeno jelly dinner sounded yummy.
Barb, Walgreen's does ship but you might also want to check out Wellcare to see if they cover your meds. If they are generic, they are inexpensive, at least for me.
Yes Molasses, a great trip and thanks for he crossed fingers, and didn't get the bucket yet...next trip I hope.
Ah Molasses, how sweet of hubby but glad DD did talk to him. Ooooops I see he is in the dog house...wow I can't say I blame ya for being mad and good luck with the fake gratitude...HUGS
YAH, as you know I love chocolates but Chuck would get me flowers a lot and only a couple times for jewelry as he isn't an 'expert' like he says, but both times he got me something it was lovely. Wish hubby would look at florists...maybe print out a computer list for him.
Yes slept well after the shopping trip. Wednesday or should I say Thursday morning is a different story.
Glad the cat is doing well Dianna and the overshooting is part and parcel of having cats. I hope he does well at the vet.
Same here Dianna, we usually buy a joint gift for our anniversary and make up cards for one another.
I am seeing I am the only one around here that loves jewelry and as my father said when I got the job in the jewelry store....well I will never see any of that money LOL
Hope it warms up good for you when you do go out Dianna. I am also sending some healing vibes your way.
Hope your dinner went well Bama. Which Sisterhood book are you up too now, Bama?
My prayers for your friend Amy, Angii. I love earrings but only one piercing.
YAH I love the snow pic of the Falls in winter. I see hubby went to his appointments with the van. Love the Elvis pic too.
Good luck with Humana, Barb and I hope you find something for your hubby too. Hope you get to take pics of the lights....and share them LOL
Oh Bama, I got to see Elvis every time he played the Garden and he played it a lot...my grandfather had an in and I always got front seats too. Nope they don't have concerts like that today....cause they don't have any talent today.

Bellevue Christian Center isn't just four walls, a roof and a parking lot. It's our home—it's where God is writing each of our stories. We encounter God here. Lives have been changed here—marriages restored, dreams awakened, leaders trained up and leaders sent out. It's a place of belonging and becoming.
Long before most of us found our way to Bellevue Christian Center there were many in this church family who sacrificed greatly and gave generously so that we could enjoy our present house of worship. Now it's our turn to continue the work they began—it's time to renovate and keep building!
Our church was started in 1972 as three military families combined their faith and vision to see a Spirit-filled church in what was then called "downtown" Bellevue. Two years later, Sam Mayo became Senior Pastor and led the church through a season of numerical growth and purchase of our current 17-acre site.
Funds were raised and a house of worship (our West facility) was built largely on volunteer labor. In January of 1989, Gary Hoyt became the new Lead Pastor and the church continued to grow, completing our present sanctuary and a few classrooms. One project followed the next until approximately two-thirds of the basement was completed. On Dec. 21, 2008, the church family celebrated God's goodness with a mortgage-burning.
We've been dreaming and we're making plans to remodel the sanctuary and foyer—and to complete some unfinished areas in the basement as a Kid's Zone.
If you consider Bellevue Christian Center your church family, please be in prayer about how God would want you to support this renovation and in turn the next generation of Greater Things that God has in store for our church and our community.

I've heard of instapaper, readability, and of course Kindle. What are the pros and cons of each. I have both an iPad and an iPhone, is one better for each? asked Apr 11 '11 at 17:10 wayne |
If you don't need and in app store to purchase books i highly recommend GoodReader. Easy sync (through wifi/web/email/itunes and customizable). I used it before iBooks came along (which i now use almost exclusively). http://www.goodreader.net/goodreader.html linkanswered May 23 '11 at 18:36 notsharp |
Instapaper is excellent for reading articles you've found on the web, while Kindle is better suited to actual books. In that sense, they have completely different use cases depending on what type of material you're reading. They're both outstanding on iPad and iPhone. As far as I know, Readability on iOS only exists as a webapp at this point, not an app through the App Store. I have to second GoodReader too. It's easily the most powerful, flexible document reader out there, but, again, it performs almost a completely different task from what either Instapaper or Kindle can do. linkanswered May 23 '11 at 19:28 benferguson |

Whose heads are covered? | Rules-addled Quebecers keep hijab, but not politics, off the field
Mansour with members of Nepean Hotspurs Select. (Ottawa Citizen)
Laval, Québec | Eleven-year-old Asmahan (Azzy) Mansour walked onto an indoor field at a youth soccer tournament in suburban Montreal Sunday and into the maelstrom of Canada's identity politics. As is her custom, she wore traditional Islamic headdress, the hijab, and answered the call for a substitute from Nepean Hotspurs Select coach Louis Maneiro. She tells the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. what happened:
It was my shift on the field, and, as soon as I stepped in, [the referee] said, "Get off the field," just kept on screaming, "Get off the field," yelling at me, "Get off the field." … I was [thinking], "What did I do wrong? Why can't I play?" … I didn't get off the field. I just stayed on until the coach came, until Louis was talking to him. … They were starting to speak French, and Louis said, "That's enough," and we just walked. (Ottawa Morning, CBC, Feb 26)
Her team and other youth sides representing the Nepean club, based in Ottawa, withdrew from the ARS Laval National tournament. They left the field in solidarity with Mansour, opening a debate on FIFA rules governing religious headgear and, more broadly, on "reasonable accommodation" for religious minorities within Québec.
The debate over religious tolerance within one of Canada's most culturally distinctive provinces has helped frame an ongoing campaign for Québec's top ministerial post; the election is Mar 26. Incumbent Premier Jean Charest, whose Liberal Party leads a three-way contest in recent polls, backed the position of the Quebec Soccer Federation and that of tournament organizers who claimed they were enforcing FIFA equipment guidelines, not violating Mansour's rights, when preventing her from coming on as a substitute. Charest compared the incident to one from his youth, when a referee chided players for failing to keep team jerseys tucked into their shorts. "This is part of the culture of this sport," said Charest, referring to respect for the referee (Graeme Hamilton, "Charest Backs 'No Hijab' Ruling in Soccer," National Post, Feb 27). Parti Québécois leader André Boisclair, running second to Charest, rejected his opponent's "meddling."
The International Football Association Board, the body with authority over the Laws of the Game, has said it will discuss policy regarding the Muslim head scarf at its annual general meeting Mar 3 in Manchester, England (see below). Already on the agenda was an amendment to Law 4, suggested by FIFA, seemingly aimed at curtailing players, during celebratory frenzies, from broadcasting messages of personal salvation borne on undergarments: "Jesus Loves Me," and the like. The proposed amendment would relate to compulsory equipment—the hijab most certainly would be regarded as "non-basic"—and would bar undershirts containing "any political, religious or personal statements." Advertising already is banned from undershirts.
Nepean Hotspurs Select was grouped with seven other teams in an U-12 age bracket at the weekend girls' tournament. Two matches were played without incident on Saturday before Mansour was told to remove her hijab.
The roots of Mansour's traumatic weekend perhaps date to late January, when the Quebec Soccer Federation, in a memo to organizers of the Laval event, wrote within a series of guidelines, "Le port du voile islamique ou de tout autre objet religeux n'est pas autorisé" ("The wearing of the Islamic veil or any other religious item is not permitted") (CBC News, Feb 25). On one hand, the document provides cover for the actions of referee Lyes Arfa, who, coincidentally, is Muslim, on the morning of Feb 25. Nepean coaches and administrators admit that they were aware of the regulation, but did not expect it to be enforced.
But the explicit banning of religious headwear, with specific mention of the "Islamic veil," weakens a statement by Quebec Soccer Federation technical director Valmie Ouellet that the referee based his decision solely on safety concerns. (Referees allowed Mansour to compete in two matches on Saturday.) Mansour's hijab had the potential, Ouellet says, to put Mansour at risk. "If it becomes untucked and the player is running on a breakaway, for example, and another player pulls on it, I would imagine it would be quite a jar to the neck and head of the player wearing the headgear."
Further, prohibition of headgear of the type Mansour was wearing contravenes FIFA rules as well as current interpretation and practice worldwide and elsewhere in Canada. According to FIFA's own commentary on Law 4, governing players' equipment, "Modern protective equipment such as headgear, facemasks, knee and arm protectors made of soft, lightweight, padded material are not considered to be dangerous and are therefore permitted." These guidelines were updated in 2005. On 30 Nov 06, Jordan's women's team made its international debut at the Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, with three players in hijab. Jordan lost to Japan, 0–13.
We consulted the author of RefBlog, a credentialed referee who has been chronicling game situations and "the human side" of the game's laws since 2003. He mentions the parallel case of Afifa Saad, a talented Australian player ordered to remove her hijab during a Victorian Soccer Federation match in 2004. The referee was threatened with disciplinary action and the policy toward the hijab clarified.

Although regulations in Ontario, British Columbia and within the U.S. Soccer Federation (see memo on "Player Dress," 22 Nov 02) sanction religious head coverings, the RefBlog author still believes that coaches should err on the side of caution to gain clearance beforehand. "In these, and pretty much any situation where you might be outside the mindset of what is 'normal,' it's best to cover your[self] ahead of time, and get written approval from the league" (see "When Do You Fight the Fight?" RefBlog, Feb 28).
The rules-related controversies perhaps will prove easier to resolve than the cultural disputes. Toronto Globe and Mail columnist Sheema Khan, a hijab-wearing footballer and Harvard Ph.D. (chemical physics), asks in an online forum for stakeholders in the debate to "all just calm down" ("Sheema Khan on the Hijab and Soccer," Feb 27). She writes that creative solutions have resulted from internal quarrels over multiculturalism: "This may be an imperfect analogy, but the present hijab brouhaha is reminiscent of the debate over the permissibility of allowing a Sikh to serve in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police while wearing his turban."
A questioner asks why "Muslims insist that the hijab is religiously mandated by the Qur'an and the Hadith when it is not so?" As with the Laws of the Game, the Qur'an calls for interpretation, with women and men reading 24:31 as a requirement for modesty in all things, even football:
Enjoin believing women to turn their eyes away from temptation and to preserve their chastity; not to display their adornments (except such as are normally revealed); to draw their veils over their bosoms and not to display their finery except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their step-sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women-servants, and their slave-girls … (trans. N. J. Dawood)
Unknown is how the judgments surrounding Mansour will affect other Muslim girls in Québec wishing to play soccer or other sports and wishing, at the same time, to uphold their beliefs. Uncomfortable for many is the approach initiated in Iran of allowing such competition only in sequestration, such as at the quadrennial Muslim Women's Games. A cultural retreat seems absurd, of course, within a progressive Western democracy, but so do measures like those enacted by the town council in Hérouxville, Québec. The council in January approved a "code of conduct" for the few immigrants under its jurisdiction, taking it upon itself to permit women to show their faces in public, to drive, to write checks. Even more provocatively, the measure when passed prohibited public stoning of women and female circumcision, aspects of the code since stricken. The manifestly insensitive code helped lead Charest to call for a panel to study the "reasonable accommodation" issue.
A challenge for the hijab-wearing athlete, according to Sarah J. Murray, writing in 2002 for the UK-based Women's Sports Foundation, is to reconcile the joy of sport and athletic movement with the mandates of Islamic dress that, to outsiders, seem confining. The demands exist within Islamic societies such as Iran and in the West. Of the nascent Islamic woman athlete, Murray writes:
[W]hat if a prodigal Mia Hamm is growing up in Iran today? Does she know that the mandates of her dress code need not limit the strength and spirit of the body beneath the hijab? Will she have the opportunity and encouragement to develop her dynamic, natural talent? Will she grab a heroine's inspiration from a sound bite she hears on public radio and dream one day of representing her country on an international sport stage? How can we make sure that she does? ("Unveiling Myths: Muslim Women and Sport," 16 Jan 02)
Multicultural appeal and openness, as Khan points out, are soccer's hallmarks; they may be the game's spiritual core. Mansour confirms that the incident has not yet affected her love of the game. She will continue to play, while thinking to add: "But I don't think I'll go back to Laval."
Five angry men? Members of the International FA Board demonstrate the diversity on view at the Mar 3 annual meeting.
Our view | International FA Board opts for 'status quo ante' on head coverings
Manchester, England, Mar 3 | The eight-member International FA Board engaged in "heated discussion" concerning the Asmahan Mansour incident at its annual general meeting. In the end, according to the CBC's Adrienne Arsenault, "the answer kept coming back that the laws are what the laws are" ("Soccer Officials Fail to Change Rules about Wearing Hijab," Mar 3; see CBC video).
The IFAB's official statement, for which the phrase "pass the buck" was probably invented, reads: "The wearing of a hijab is already covered by Law 4 of Players' Equipment."
In the immediate aftermath of the judgment—in addition to numerous headlines worldwide proclaiming that FIFA had "banned" the hijab—a spokeswoman for the United Muslim Women of Canada suggested that the United Nations might be brought into the fray to address the "human rights violations." "We, as Muslim women," said Anisa Ali, "have a right to participate in sporting activities just like non-Muslim women."
The most curious comments in Manchester came from Brian Barwick, chief executive of England's FA, which hosted the Saturday meeting: "[F]rom my own association's viewpoint this is not an issue we have much knowledge or experience of. We believe our football is inclusive."
In fact, the English FA supports a separate Ethics and Sports Equity division with an eye toward bringing underrepresented groups, such as Muslim women, blind footballers, disabled players and so on, under the association's welcoming umbrella. On its website, the FA backs a British futsal team's participation in the International Islamic Women's Games in Tehran in 2005 where headscarves were required, although not necessarily during the competition if only women were present.
The site quotes Lucy Faulkner, the Ethics and Sports Equity manager, as saying that the event emphasizes a "Football for All policy": "We encourage and aim to increase the involvement of groups at all levels of the game, so I am delighted by the prospects of this competition. Ethics and sports equity is a part of everything we do at the FA."
Another example, from the FA's own archive, of rules being modified to suit a particular situation concerns Asian clubs in a Preston men's league being granted FA permission in 2005 to lengthen players' shorts to address concerns over modesty. Faulkner mentions contact with a local imam and with league officials that led to the FA waiver. The association, she adds, is "committed to supporting racial equality as this underpins all our policies and thinking."
As precedents exist for the use of non-compulsory equipment in FIFA-sanctioned competition—gloves for field players during cold weather, auxiliary head protection such as that worn by Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech in the Feb 25 Carling Cup final, and so on—such accommodation by the founding national football association demonstrates that rules can be adapted, when merit exists, to serve an inclusive purpose.
On the same day as its debate over the hijab, the international board backed experimentation with an elaborate detection system to settle future controversies over whether a ball has fully crossed the goal line. It also barred players from wearing masks while celebrating goals, a problem we did not know existed.
If flexibility is possible on such issues, both substantive and bizarre, we would hope for IFAB, the English FA and other FIFA member associations that similar weight be given to the women's game. And the right to wear hijab on the pitch seems as much a women's issue as a religious issue.
An 11-year-old girl waits for an answer.

Asymmetric Wrapped Drape Dress - Rami Kashou
Really really nice dress, just like tailored for me. Everywhere fits perfectly. Moreover elegant and classic design worth your money. Thanks bebe.
February 26, 2013
Looks nicer than picture.
love this dress it hides any imperfection in your body. I have gained a little weight and it goes in my belly. With this dress it does not show at all. This dress enhances any flat behind also it gives your body a nice shape. I can get away with size 0 but I bought it online in size 2 because I gained weight over the holiday. I know that i will be losing the weight and I know size 2 should still be ok on me. It is hard to put on since it does not stretch. I wore the dress for masquerade ball with masks and it is beautiful. The only complain I have is that it is tight and it does not stretch so it's hard to dance in it and I can't get in the car without lifting the dress up. Overall all I love it!

Looks great but not functional
I love asymmetrical cut dresses especially around the neckline... I was so exited to get this dress in the mail but after trying it on I was very dissaponted. The cut is good but the material is not functional. There is no stretch what so ever so you cant hardly walk or move in this narrow pencil style dress. The pleats are also a little weird and if they aren't sitting just so the dress doesnt look right. You just can't have a form fitting pencil dress without a little stretch unless you plan on standing up straight all night. No way you can dance if you can barely walk. Good luck going up stairs in this. I'm sending it back:-( too bad:-(
December 30, 2012
I bought this dress for a wedding and was a little nervous about wearing such a bright color but it was GORGEOUS! Perfect fit too! I was getting compliments all night. Definitely a great buy :)
