WHOO HOOO! Best news ever Marlene! Now you can try to heal it naturally and if it doesn't work or doesn't work all the way, then you have some time to regain your strength and energy before having the surgery! So happy for you.
Just wanted to stop in and say hi. Stopped at K'mart on my way home from work to pick up a few things since we never went to the grocery store last weekend and by the time I got home and ate some supper it was time for NCIS and then to bed. Real tired this am too and it's just me and the boss the rest of the week. The other two are at a class for the remainder of the week. Hope it stays quiet. And now I just jinxed it! LOL!
Carol hope you had a good safe trip home.
Didn't get on the bike last night either. Will stop back later tonight when I'm pedaling! LOL! Have a great day!
Marlene, what wonderful news!!! So happy for you that this worry is lifted from you! Very funny, you have a couple of leaves on the ground. DH is waiting until most of the leaves have fallen to do the yard. Now we clear the deck, front porch and driveway. They are getting deep in the yard. Supposed to get wind and then rain this afternoon so that will bring lots more leaves & limbs down.
Sharon, hope your back continues to improve. Aging is not so nice! Lots of the fruit & vegetables are good raw. Get out the ranch dressing and serve everything raw. Rest your back!
Carol, hope you get a good seat mate on your flight. Or good movies. How many hours is the flight? Sorry Nat won't co-operate in letting Laskie join you!! Check with some local vets. The vets here have pictures of free animals on a bulletin board and sometimes kittens free for adoption. I'm definitely a coffee addict. Love it!
Hi everyone! I'm off to Kroger's Senior Day. Shopping ahead for Thanksgiving items while I can get them 10% off. There will just be three of us so we don't need a lot.
Marlene, I do not want to hear "winter is coming, to your area".... hear moi?, nothing with the word winter... oh berrrrr..... am doing the happy dance for ya, oops, no, the cane dance.... what great news...
I talked to Carola, I talked to Carola, I talked to Carola, ... she sounds so young, and skinny....shesshh, it was good to talk to her, Laska did some background talking too, and yep, Keetya just yawned, and yawned....hope you and safe and sound at home, and are out getting a kittie....
Good Morning Friends!
Starting the day off right - I LOVE my morning coffee and miss it so much when I have to fast for blood work. Meanwhile, I'm drinking my 2nd cup while enjoying reading your posts. I have exercised, had breakfast and plan to vacuum and iron 2 shirts of K's later this morning.
Doris, thank you for the push to commit because once I put it in writing that I would read my Bible chapters, I actually did 2 last night. Now to continue with that challenge.
Marlene - so happy for you, great news.
Rainy day here with predictions of colder weather by this afternoon.
Thanks for the compliments on our deck. It is cedar and we chose a roof of poly carbonite that filters 95% UV blockage, but still will have sun shining thru. With the deck facing south and west we get the afternoon and evening sun, so hopefully this will help. Not sure if we will put shades on west side or another pergola style roof to shade the eating/grill area.
Joanie I viewed your blog and singing video. Great job!
Dee - your grandson is really special and smart. You should be proud!!
Virginia - I so agree with you on passing "stuff" on to our children. We have stored it long enough, now it is their turn.
My 3 year old GD is in "cooking" school. yesterday they cooked potatoes in different ways. When dil picked her up they had their apple juice and plate of mashed, baked and not sure what the other choice was, on their plate. GD was enjoying the tasting as she loves to eat!! I would love to be a "mouse" and watch 3 year olds in the kitchen. Cute!
Everyone enjoy "hump" day. Until next time, Susan
Good morning ladies,
I didn't make it to the teacher's breakfast Monday. I must have gotten a bug Friday and it was still with me until Tues.
I went to aerobics and was in a little pain since not doing anything on the weekend. I went to the Little Giant store in Carmi which had senior's day. The drive there lets me relax and think. I was exhausted after filling my cart to the top and beyond. I only paid a little over $60. I always get my money's worth there.
Marlene I am happy dancing too for you!! I think your life is turning around for the best!!! God is good!!!
Carol have a safe trip home. I hope they don't lose your suitcase filled with all your goodies!!
Laureen I miss having a KMart close. I have to go to West Frankfort, IL which is around 45 min. from me. I bet you are tired after a long day at work and shopping too!!!
Virginia I always forget about senior's day at Kroger's. I must take advantage of it. My aunt, cousin and dad are coming for TG at my sis' house. I was going to N.O. with dh and ds for TG but not now since he will be here. TG in N.O. was going to be at my cousin's house. His wife makes the best crab and shrimp dressing!!!! I tried to get her recipe but not one would give it. I was hoping to try again and get it. lol
Diva N doesn't Carol have the loveliest voice! She does sound young and sweet.
Susan it is nice just to sit back and enjoy your cup of coffee or two! I challenge myself during lent to read more of my Bible. Hope you get to enjoy the deck before Winter comes.
Have a good one,
I is home.
Feel better Karen.
"Young and skinny"? Thanks Nat.
Yay Marlene!!!!
It's 7 hours but we had the winds behind us so it didn't take that long. Didn't see any movies, for the first time I think ever I slept! The flight was only 3/4 full and unfortunately a guy sat next to me, a real arm rest hog.
Darn, I can't see all the posts.
Karen, I don't know about Carola being sweet....
YAY Marlene...bout time you got some good news!!! So glad about you news!
Joanie...WOW...how beyond "LOV...ER..LY" your voice is!!! Just LOVE to listen to you sing!!!
Glad you are home safe and sound...you sweet, young and skinny thing!!! Guess you KNOW who you are!!!
You are right, Nat...Carol does indeed sound so young! Good that you are done with the leaves and that sure should count as exercise. We had a large tree in the back taken out last year, so did our neighbor have one removed...so way less leaves this year for us. DH piles them on the garden.
Oh...also...I did not see your email until last evening...so sorry!! Guess you managed to get the #.
Dee...think you missed my post a few days ago about your green cabinet...I'd thought I lost that one also until I looked. Anyway, I repeat that I really think that is a great piece!
Karen...never heard of crab and shrimp dressing. Lots of folks like oyster dressing, but not me. Think I might like the c%s one though.
I am also a coffee freak...drink way too much of it. I just like plain coffee with milk. For some reason those fancy coffee drinks don't appeal to me.
Well, Al is here today. My garden was much neglected this summer and there are weeds to deal with now. I've really always kept up with that, but not this year. Al was telling me that this past summer was one of the best for plant growth that he has ever encountered. He said that he has seen a lot of enormous plants as he goes about doing his Fall cleanups this year. Have any of you noticed that?
I must get caught up on some work...finally got the things from the auctions put
away...MORE stuff we don't need! The things we took to be auctioned off were sold last night...don't know how it went yet.
Laureen...have auction prices taken a dive in Michigan? Antique prices around here have really gone downhill...it is a buyers market. I'll bet your DH is able to get some good deals now! Did you ever get the Antique Week?
Doris...count me in on this "Movin and Grovin" challenge... think at this point exercise is the only thing that is going to help me.
On with the day...will try to check back later...(( )) to ALL...Rags
Marlene, I'm so glad to hear your great news! About time you got some good news, you have been through so much. Doing a happy dance for you, too!
Carol, that's good that you are home safe and sound - are you getting a kitty now? Speaking of kitties, both of ours were up super early this morning. Max got up first and howled for breakfast so Roger got up to get it. Misty, who was sleeping, heard someone in the kitchen so she ran in there and started meowing too, so I had to get up too and make hers. Roger doesn't know how much medicine to mix in hers so that's my job. So then after we were both well awake, the cats went back to bed and are sleeping still. Sure you want another one, Carola? lol
Susan, I meant to tell you how much I like your deck and pergola. My hubby used cedar also and the same polycarbonate for the top. Our deck faces southwest, too! We put those rollup bamboo blinds on the west side and it does help. We sure enjoyed it this summer, and the cats still enjoy it. I look out sometimes when it's raining and see them both sitting in the wicker chairs, looking around at the yard. Good vantage point.
We don't have any snow yet; we don't always get some. It has been frosty a couple of mornings but that's all. We cleaned up our yard, raked up leaves and dug the vegetable patch over.
I have been really bad about exercising lately. What with choir and concerts etc. I haven't felt like it. I like walking but can't seem to get up the energy to go out. I could do the treadmill, I guess. I just don't feel motivated.
Well, as Rags said, "On with the day...."
Remember yesterday I told about going to the dinner last night and predicting the food. Yep, I just forgot the baby carrots (along with the green beans and the corn), rolls (I should have remembered them) and besides the fried chicken there was some sort of what looked like Italian Beef but it had absolutely no sauce or flavor to it. Yuck.
Marlene -I'm so thrilled for you. Aren't you glad you didn't go on with the surgery ? Your body needs to be able to relax and drive on a trip with your feathered friends.
Had a meeting all morning and then lunch with a friend so I've gotta unwind for a bit. I'll talk to youse guys later.
Good call, Doris!
Yep good call Doris! Hope the meeting wasn't as exciting as the last one you went to!
Welcome home Carol. Sounds like it was an okay flight. Too bad he couldn't go sit in another empty seat!
Sorry Joanie I haven't had time to listen to your video but I promise I will. Right now I'm just too far behind in too many things. I love listening to you sing!
Because I'm so far behind I'm not hanging here long. Trying to work on the evals and am getting there. Gave 1 today and will probably give another tomorrow. Want to have them done so I can give them next week and the following week when we have meetings and staff have to come in. Feel like I'm getting behind at home too cause of doing stuff on the weekends. Have to fight it out with AT&T and need to find some things. Maybe this weekend. LOL!
May not be back tomorrow night cause I get the hair done tomorrow after work so won't get home till 7 PM or so and then eat dinner and then will have to get ready for bed. Haven't slept as well as usual either. Not sure if it's me or DH. Also have to get after the doctor office cause they didn't send over the order to increase my CPAP pressure. Always something it seems. No one seems to do things thoroughly, timely or correctly any more sometimes. Well hope you all have a great day tomorrow.
My dentist is the greatest. Went in today to have the new cap put on and to have a small cavity filled. Since they knew that i had already exceeded my insurance for the year, he only charged me half of the cost for the cavity repair. Not many will do that this time and age. So now everything is fixed to the degree that it can for the year.
Now is the time to plan for trips but it's too cold to go many places. Well....it is down to the 40's tonight. burrrrr.....lols I may go up to north Texas soon but it's freezing there right now. There is a propane heater and a heat pump in the RV tho so I and my feathered friends should do okay. Just don't want to have to drive in icy conditions.
Susan-- I also meant to tell you how wonderful your new porch is. I would love to have one like that that completely around the house.
Carol is home!!!! Have you unloaded all the goodies to Ben? lucky son....
It's late and I'm watching the SA Spurs game. So Later
Good chipper morning!
We aren't down in the 40's but getting cooler.
Welcome home Carol. How goes the unpacking. I bet your mother misses you like crazy.
I hope to get outside for a walk this morning. It is time to move.
Marlene, was wondering if you were watching the game..
OK Carola, listen to Sharona, get movin....
rainy, cold and dreary here today....have a meeting this morning, then we have 6 month check up with doctor.....I iz tired.
I was the high scorer at cards yesterday. I won a bundt pan with cooking utensils. I haven't had the highest score in a long time. I went from last to first this time!! YES!!!
Today is aerobics and I bet I will be in fine shape!
Carol I feel better. I hope they didn't lose your goodies suitcase! Ben will be very upset. I bet you are jet lagged. Take care for a few days. I still say you had the sweetest voice!
Rags I like a little coffee with my milk and 2 tsp sugar or sweet n low.
Diva N I am thankful that I don't have leaves to rake. I do have lots of pine needles!
Diva D who caterers the meal? I will make sure I don't get them. I hate meetings!!!
Marlene you see how life is treating you better. You have one nice and compassionate dentist! There should be more around like him.
Sharon how is that back treating you? I hope better since you are going walking.
Taking a few.minuxtes at lunch to see what you are up to. Doesn't llok like much. Doris hope both the meeting and check up go well. We started the day with a meeting too which makes for chaos after since they are all in the office. Just got morning stuff done. Will probably fall asleep when they wash my hzir tonight. LOL!
well gotta go. Ttfn
Want to know what I'm up to, Laureen? I'm up to causing more trouble and gaining a few more pounds.
Went to Bible Study this morning (on Timothy II) and am inspired again.
Sharon - I have been told that the latest thing for girls is headbands, either of material or knitted/crocheted. They especially like the ones with a knit flower attached to the top side of it. Some are for keeping the hair back and some for warmth over the ears. You could make one an evening and have a stash when you send a box back for the little ones. I am doing one for the college age DGD and then I will make one for younger one. I am doing crochet this time. Hadn't crocheted in years.
Cleaning day here, not much else going on. We have G for the night, so you know it is CFA dinner for sure! He was with us for dinner last night as well, that was so nice to have him here. We are going to the movies tomorrow to see Wings the movie about turkeys. They say it is a turkey too but I can suffer for a small amount of time if he wants to see it. We are both looking forward to Frozen that comes out later this month. It looks funny!
We may do some Christmas shopping this weekend. I need to see what toys are out there for the grands. The adults will get $$$ so that part is easy. We plan a trip to the outlet for Osh Kosh and Carters for pj's.
I love the headbands that the kids are wearing too DD. I wish I could knit or crochet, I am all thumbs and it seems so confusing to me!
Karen, great for winning at cards!
Sharon, it was cold here this morning too. It was 38* and I was feeling it too.
Marlene, where on earth did you find that dentist. What a nice man! Mine would never do something like that, they are a chain and that wouldn't just happen. Bout time you got a break!
Jeez where did I get that movie title it is Free Birds not Wings! LOL! Could be because I am just not that into the movie. Dee
I bet it is because you have a few other things on your mind now, Dee. I fully understand!
Good morning,
Housework is done..and another couple cabinets are cleaned out. Yesterday, I threw out tons of spices. I did not go for a walk as I did not think I was up to venturing out alone. I waited till after lunch and Andy was home, but that got cancelled.. so no walk. I am feeling half good and half not good on the back issue. However, I did get to learn how to make a "fish lips" heel for socks while I was couch sitting.
I am reading the latest Wally Lamb book. I haven't had a good read for some time and find his books not only amusing but astoundingly weird. One thing after happening,
I hope Maryann is enjoying every minute of her trip. SHE is amazing!
There is a man on my roof attempting to fix a leak that others have attempted repairing before. Good luck to us. But, I want him to get out of here as I want my house to myself right now. Not in a mood for repair people. Can't feel relaxed. But, I do want that roof issue resolved. Here he comes with the ladder and says "a posto"! That means all done good.
Pumpkin risotto with brussel sprouts for lunch. Come on over Carol...vegetarian menu today.
Hi to everyone.
Morning. Just a quick stop in. Didn't get home till 7 PM last night grabbed some Taco Bell for supper and in bed and going to sleep by 9:30. Too many late night things this week don't know where the evenings go to. TGIF! Though I have to take this weekend and finish up all the evals so I can start giving them for the next 2 weeks. Takes about 30-60 minutes per person to give them too! Though it does depend on how "chatty" they are and how much I go into the reports they will be graded on this next year. Work is just like here and doesn't educate on computer changes. We've been getting e-mails about them changing our e-mail system from Groupwise to Outlook. They give you "link" to look at and some things can be printed off. At the hospital they are having some classes people can go to, but our staff don't even realize it's changing. Some don't check e-mail but once or twice a week, then they don't know what's from us and what's from the hospital. I can see them thinking this doesn't apply to them. So... I sent texts telling them to read it and been warning people as I see them, but next Friday when they go to read their e-mail, it will be gone and they have to know what icon to click so it will transfer to the new system which does look a bit different than what they have now. This drives me nuts cause then office staff will be mad when they don't get messages cause they haven't done all this. Thank goodness we have a staff meeting on Wed so maybe we can discuss and give some handouts then for those that come. Those that don't, it will be "SURPRISE"! Ya know not everyone is technology minded. Enough about that.
Dee I have to ask what CFA stands for? I think you told us once but I've forgotten and can't figure it out. You do have a lot on your mind right now and it's going to take some to get to "acceptance" and realization of the potential consequences to everyone and the differences between children and trying to find a "middle road for all". So glad Hailey is okay! You are so right about the lack of understanding and lack of emotions even at his age. So so hard to understand on both sides. Prayers are still going out.
Sharon hopefully the leak is fixed hope it is actually fixed too! Glad the back is feeling a bit better. Does walking sometimes make it worse? How is the eye? I'd like to have a good read again, but probably won't happen till the holidays. Gotta get through these evals. Thanksgiving is only 1 day off and cooking so won't be that day! Betty is going to come for dinner with us too. She and Bebe (Betty's baby) are getting along great thank goodness.
Doris I'm with you on gaining a few pounds. Gotta get life back into some semblance of normalcy and control. Haven't been on the bike but once this week too cause of the late nights. Hopefully tonight and this weekend will be better. How did the meeting go? Better than that one?
Karen congrats on being the high winner at cards!
Carol sounds like you are settling right back into being home. So did you find a "kitty" yet? Saw your FB post asking if any one knew of one. Dingle isn't the one you wanted from Ben was it? Saw he offered him up but not sure if he was just pulling your leg or not. DH has been talking about how much he likes the solid gray cats also. Must be a "thing" right now.
Well need to go pack my lunch and get some breakfast ready so I can get off to work. May try to stop back at lunch time if there is a lunch time. If there isn't I eat while I type and read stuff and update stuff. LOL! Hope you all have a good day.
Exercise was done yesterday. I went to bed around 6:30 PM and woke up around 9:30 PM.I went back to bed again at 11:40 PM. I was exhausted for some reason.
Dee I will be cleaning the patio room. I am getting it ready for DS' 21st birthday party. He will be having it the Sat. after his birthday. DS will invite a few friends over for a party. I will be fixing snacks for them and making sure they behave. They love my punch. I will fix a big container of it.
Sharon I get that way myself. I want to be home by myself. I hate waiting for repairmen to come and then leave!
Laureen I had an exhausting day too. I didn't even go to the store after exercise class.
Where is everyone today?
Hope you all have a good one,
Just a few lines before I get off this computer and do my routine morning schedule.
Yesterday we headed to the burbs and a large mall, Woodfield in Schaumburg. I was on top of the fence if I wanted to go, but we decided it was a pretty day, and what better time to go look around than before the Christmas list frenzy and worrying about the changing weather conditions. So off we went. It was a great day and we both enjoyed shopping. The mall wasn't crowded and the stores were filled to the brim in anticipation of weekend shoppers. We ate at The Cheesecake Factory and ended our lunch with sharing a huge serving of pumpkin cheesecake. Delish!! We were home by 5:30 and went with friends to a local restaurant for supper. I bought 2 pair of NYDJ (not Your Daughter Jeans) brand trousers. Heather Gray and black. They are very comfortable and a nice blend of poly and spandex. Fit nice and comfy! K found 2 v- neck sweaters - just the right weight and a little cashmere. He says mostly cash and not so much mere. LOL
I have scanned back thru the posts and can't find a post from Dee and her talk about "acceptance". Sorry, Dee, I don't know what you are talking about.
Sharon - happy to hear your back is feeling better.
Laureen - your work seems really demanding of your time and energy. After I read your posts of all your responsibility and projects, it makes me happy that I'm retired!! I know you are a dedicated worker and a valuable employee.
Doris - you make me chuckle when I read of your meetings and the meals served. It is the same standard for group meals, I think.
Our volunteer end of the year appreciation dinner for the RRBH is next week. I wonder if we will have the "standard" meal.
Today I must grocery shop and K is working on the yard and outside winterizing. I saw a post of FB that claims we could receive 12" of snow next Thursday. Yuk! Too early and too much. I haven't heard any of the local weather forecasters say that though, so hopefully another FB story!!
To all my WO50 friends, have a great day. Until next time,
Honestly, I read the paper this morning and Santa is arriving at the largest mall in this area on Saturday. What happened to after Thanksgiving?
Susan - I understand your confusion on some of the posts. The reason is we had started a dialog which is private months ago and once it is started, you cannot add names. I will start a new one this afternoon with your name included and then you will be more aware of what we are doing. There are some things posted there that we don't want to share with everybody reading and so we try not to refer to it on this thread.
Hi All...
You guys are too busy cleaning! That is actually what I have been trying to do without much success!
The "four letter word" was here in full force this AM. The ground is still too warm for it to accumulate, but you can see the snow on the evergreen branches...WAY too early for that!
DH is getting antsy about the water pipes at the cottage...we likely should have closed up, but didn't. Perhaps a "rush up" is in order.
Susan, you have made me hungry for pumpkin cheesecake! Unlike Laureen, I love all things pumpkin!
Speaking of that, how do you make that Pumpkin Risotto, Sharon?
Well...DH is back ....I must go. BBL, (( )), Rags
Local boy in the red. He won the Italian quarter finals today so will be in the semi finals next. He is working towards getting into the Olympics. He went from a scamp (youngster) to a champ at age 18. He is a very quiet guy but they say he is technically brilliant.
I'll post risotto tomorrow.
Here he is with his 15 year old brother, who is autistic and was born with a spine deformity. He has won several of his own battles. After many operations he is beginning to walk on his own and is in High School. The real hero is the mother who never gave up and found time for both of her sons. She is a "top of the line".. parent.
Thanks for the explanation and including me in the dialog, Doris.
Susan, do not listen to anything Doris says, she knows nothing....
Sharona , inspiring kids, yep , I agree, the mom must be amazing.
We had our first snowfall this morning, everything was white, about half an inch, all melted, but is cold....
We had a beautiful Veterans day breakfast at our community, have a long meeting tomorrow, then tomorrow night, they are honouring all us volunteers with a fancy dinner...
Went to doc for check up yesterday, my cholesterol went down by 20...but my weight went up by two. they would not let me take all my clothes off
for the weighing in, that would have been two lbs less....shesshh..
Dee great news on Grant, he must be going to a very good school.
Carola, do you feel "home" yet, ya still unpackin?
Only thing I like pumpkin, is pumpkin cheesecake...
OK Nat, I hope you realize that you will NOT be on the next dialog. Maybe I can still take you off this new one.
Nat...WHY do you wear such HEAVY clothes???
Welcome Susan!
Was just facebooking and found my kids posted pictures of the highlights of their lives today. Thought I'd share!
DS#2 closed on their new house today in SC after many hassles with the companies, but they are home owners again and got to meet one set of neighbors. So he's a picture of the house as they pulled away after their last walk through.
Didn't know that Elaina had her first race today. After her fiasco at school last year when she couldn't run the mile fast enough and one boy made some smart comments etc which devastated her, she decided to start running. So DDIL #1 has been working with her. When she first started out, DDIL realized how far she has come from being a preemie. She still walks on her tippy toes (could be a sign of very mild cerebral palsy but not enough to worry about) and has always run "funny" and been slow in her gross motor skills forever, this is a great accomplishment. I also noticed in these pictures that she's getting "lanky" which is a good thing too. She's always been a bit heavy for her height and she's on the bottom of the chart (if she's on the chart) for her age group. DDIL has been so careful with their nutrition so they wouldn't have her problem. Some time I'll post a before and after picture of DDIL.
Will be back in the morning. Got to get some sleep right now. Sleep tight everyone and good morning Carol and Sharon!
Laurene, what a happy little girl! Glad you were able to share the moment via FB! Lovely home, nice that all the lights were on for the picture!
Virginia, no good movies and no good seat mate. He should have stayed across the aisle with his wife.
Susan I think it is wonderful that 3 yr olds are learning to cook.
Course I am sweet. Sheesh. Thanks Karen.
Joanie, I am going to start kitty hunting after this darn jet lag is gone. Why didn't you go back to sleep after feeding your hooligans?
I bet Doris looked into her crystal ball to see what was going to be for supper.
Laureen, it seems that you never have an easy day at work.
Marlene I have 3 bags full for Ben, Sian and the animals. LOL They won't get everything on Monday when I see at least Ben.
Yum Sharona. I can't wait to start trying the recipes from my new vegan slow cooker cookbook.
Got to go.
Lovely home...happy granddaughter. Love photos.
Pumpkin Risotto.
Put on a pan for the broth. If you are making vegetable risotto make a veggie broth. Heat up a flat bottom fry type pan and add olive oil and finely chopped onion (one medium). Add rice measuring between 1/3 to 1/2 cup per person. Toast the rice in the oil and then add some white wine. Keep stirring until the wine evaporates. (The young cook told me the wine prepares the rice to adsorb the liquid). You are going to cook the risotto for 18 minutes. For the first 9 minutes keep adding the broth and stir. He says this dish isn't like throwing the pasta into the water and talking on the phone while it cooks. It needs constant attention. At the 9 minute mark add prepared vegetables. I had roasted the pumpkin the day before. He suggests cooking the vegetable in a separate pan with cream. I skipped the cream. The vegetable sauce is added alternately with the broth. At 18 minutes add salt, pepper, saffron and 1/2 cup grated parm or other cheese along with a nob of butter and take of the heat. At this point add a couple ladles full of broth and cover the pan. I don't think I left anything out.
Sharon, I'm not familiar with riscottos, is it a creamy soup? Sounds good. How much pumpkin did you use per person? What other vegetables work well with the recipe?
It is always touching to see one child helping the special needs child.
Rags & Nat, much too soon for that ugly four letter word to show up! Don't believe I could take that PA weather!
Need to finish a download/restart computer for a printer.

Some good tips. I disagree that there are no such things as interactive presentations though. It doesn't have to be a workshop to have interaction
Bob Connelly's curator insight,

There are some great tips in these things we should stop saying. I disagree with one in particular though: I do think presentations can (and often should!) be interactive. That doesn't make it a workshop but can make it engaging.
MagneticSpeaking's curator insight,
January 27, 8:26 AM
This is very informative for anyone who speaks in public. The moral of this Slideshare is to keep quiet about your internal dialogue. When you speak, everything you say should benefit your audience. When you ask the audience to sympathize with you, you take away from their experience. Sharing stories and taking questions is great, apologizing for being unprepared and talking about yourself is not. Great article.

This is important advice for those who are into flipped class room teaching. Time and again, it has been reiterated that stand alone powerpoint presentations are not good enough unless they are backed by a voice over, or a verbal presentation, or a description short though it may be on each slide. The tips given in the article will help in preparing PPTs. with Voice Over.

No question at all, we have come a long way from having Powerpoint as the king of the heap of presentation software. The variety of options on offer, and the range of capabilities are wide, diverse and individually tailored to the needs of presenters. The day of one-package-does-it-all is over. Microsoft themselves seem to have realised it and ar pitching Sway as the successor to Powerpoint. Interesting times ahead.

Tips For Being Induced Into Labor
10 Things to Know Before Being Induced

10 Things to Know Before Being Induced
As expectant mamas, we assume that our babies will make their debuts when they are good and ready. So many women are thrown for a loop when the doctor announces it's time for the wee one to arrive via induction. Whether the procedure is scheduled because the infant is overdue or based on the amniotic fluid levels, there are a few things mothers should know about being induced. Here's what I learned after being induced twice.
2 years
@2568248 As an OB nurse, I know that the US standard of care requires that a first trimester ultrasound be on the patient's chart prior to any voluntary induction. In the first trimester all fetuses are about the same size, regardless of genetics. In the second trimester, genetics take over and it is harder to determine a true estimated date of confinment (EDC).
This is a good lists of things to consider when being induced. Under induction, you must be monitored when receiving Pitocin which limits your freedom to labor in various positions. So if you really want to follow your birth plan, you need to consider waiting for natural labor.
2 years
I disagree with inducing over due dates or convenience, the model they used to make the formula they use to Estimate due dates is based on a 20 something first time mom, in perfect health, with a perfect 28 day menstrual cycle.
How many of us fit that model?
A more accurate method takes in your actual cycle length...if it can be established, your age, if this is your first or a more delivery. The due date can be up to a 10 days later then the due date most will give you, meaning if you are induced early you could actually be birthing a preemie.

Ya know, the negative comments about how pitocin can effect a mothers ability to bond with her baby are not only unfounded, but completely uncalled for. Regardless of what methods you chose as a birth plan, bringing a child into the world is an amazing experience! And for some people to try and scare new mothers by saying that theyre having problems bonding with her baby is flat out wrong. Go get therapy and keep that info between you and your therapist!!

I am 2 days over due and getting induce friday. this my 3rd baby 2 induction. my son was 1 week over due and it went5 great! started the whole thing at 7am and he was born at2:30 that afternoon. three pushs and he was here 7lb 14oz... i only pray that this birth goes as smooth as the last one!
4 years
I was induced with my first daughter because my amniotic fluid was low (if it's lower than 5 they have to get the baby out). Not to scare anyone but my experience was really bad. I just didn't know what to expect. They broke my water and started the pitocin. I was in labor from 3pm-9pm and they stopped the Pitocin for the night to let me sleep. They put a pill up my vagina to try to soften my cervix. The next morning they started me up at 9am. I was in labor until 11pm that day but by the time I was ready to push I had no energy at all (you can't eat or drink). It was a really bad experience. I was puking and I couldn't push the baby out and my doctor didn't show up so it was someone I never seen before. I did get the epidural but they gave it to me too early and it ended up wearing off. The doctor got the forceps and tried pulling my daughter out but she wouldn't come out. They ended up pushing the baby back up and rushed me to c-section. They put me out and told my fiancee to throw on some scrubs but they never came out in the hallway to get him so he didn't even get to see her get born. The hospital was a bunch of BS and guess what? I'm overdue with this baby too and I'm being induced tomorrow night but it's a planned induced and a different doctor and hospital...hopefully everything goes a lot smoother.

I am 4 days past due...my doctor said she can induce me if I would like...your comments have been very helpful, but with this being my first I am very scared. She also wants to register the pitocin...which i'm guessing is what begins my contractions. I haven't dialated past about a 2 and I am very scared. I hope the pitocin isn't a problem. Also, I'm breastfeeding. I hope this does not become problematic either. I'm very scared. I wonder if breaking my water hurts? If I wait to do it naturally, my baby will most likely be over 9 pounds and if that happened then doc wants to do a c section which i really dont want...advice?
4 years
This is my fourth baby, but my first time to be induced. I did have pitocin with all my labors cuz of irregular contractions, nvr had a problem bonding with my babies. Things dont always go as we would like or plan in general. I feel like as long as the baby comes out to the world safe and healthy that's all that really matters, not a specific birth plan. Especially if you have a high risk pregnancy you got to have an open mind for other options you nvr know what can happen and your doc is going to know what's best for you and the baby, and if your that uncomfortable with the doc's decision then you need to look for another doc.

I was induced with my first baby because I wanted to be! I never fell in love (or bonded) with someone or something so fast in my life. My milk came in great. I loved it! I got to know when my baby was going to be here and my grandma (who was in the room with me) and my grandpa (who passed away three months later) got to share the experience with me. I am 35 weeks preg. and I am being induced in 4 weeks. I have two friends who do not believe in medicines at all during birth and had no choice but to be induced due to High Blood Pressure, and the other low amniotic fluid. So sometimes you just really dont even have a choice!
5 years
I was induced and bonded just fine with my baby! And my doctor gave me the option if I wanted to! It wasn't for her convinence!
5 years
Interesting comments. I have always thought I was traumatized by the fact that my son was induced and I had to end up with an epidural when the pitocin made my contractions come way, way, way too fast (after my doc lied to me and promised she'd only break my water -- only way I even agreed to be induced -- and it wasn't for a medical reason -- only for her convenience). My milk never came in, which I also feel could be from being induced and my body not being ready to give birth. I was ashamed for awhile, angry, etc. I felt used by my doc, completely swindled. I am mostly over it now (3 years later) but my new doc better watch out when I get pregnant again -- I will be the birth-giver from HELL to get my way this time!!! Far too many docs talk young, naive pregnant ladies into inducing just to keep their own schedule "normal." I was one of them...
5 years
This is a bad slide show as it is not based on facts... look at the facts before being induced. And to say no woman cares how her baby got here as long as he/she is healthy is a gross oversight of the importance of the birth process for both Woman and Baby. It is this chronic ignoring of this issue that causes so many women to get severely depressed after birth - which is at extremely high levels in our country, (most women feel bad for feeling let down by their birth experience) (yes, I know the hormones play a roll, but there are support groups all over that are crowded with woman who are trying to recover from the birth they ended up having - even years after their baby was born).
5 years
i'm so not bonding with my baby because my water broke early and had to be induced so as to not get an infection.
not to mention that it is a synthetic version of a mammalian hormone, oxytocin, which is the hormone that encourages let down and stimulates maternal instincts, among other things. so yeah, fall for that naturalist fallacy, why don't you and wave biased research?
5 years
That is an interesting article CG. I had pitocin with both births (wasn't in birth plan) and Epidural (which was in the birth plan). Births went as expected and bonded fine with both boys. I would love to see more statistics on there possibly being a pitocin link to autism by an unbiased (is anyone really unbiased these days?) research group.
5 years
Thanks for the info caterpillar unfortunately some high risk women don't have a choice but to be induced so hopefully those side affects are rare.
5 years
also know that Pitocen (an artificial hormone) , is known to cause fetal distress due to impaired uterine blood flow. It can also cause hematomas, seizures, uterine rupture and post partum hemorrhage.
In many cases moms who are given pitocin have problems bonding with the child due to the drugs nature.
There is also a link between Pitocin and the rise of Autism
Please know what you are taking before deciding to induce.

I was induced with both babies.. had no epidural on either. It wasn't as bad as people had described. I was allowed to walk around my room and change positions as I wanted. I think the key is talking to your doctor about your wishes and keeping an open mind. Both labors were beautiful!

Oral History Program Edna Walchli Stratford Interviewed by Marci Farr 3 November 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Edna Walchli Stratford Interviewed by Marci Farr 3 November 2008 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted November 3, 2008 and includes her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The Interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. It is November 3, 2008. We are interviewing Edna Walchli Stratford at her home in South Ogden, Utah. She graduated in 1955. Would you to tell us a little bit about your early life, where you grew up, about your family, and where you went to school. ES: Okay and actually, it was my birthday yesterday. MF: Oh happy birthday. ES: I was born in American Falls, Idaho, but moved to a little tiny town called Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, where my father was the superintendent of the power plant. When he retired we moved to Ogden and I have lived here ever since. I had an older brother who was eight years older than me and two sisters, one twenty-one years older than me and one ten years older. That's because both of my parents had been previously married and both of their spouses had died and then they married and had me. Most of my elementary school was in Horseshoe Bend. It was a very small, three room schoolhouse, with eight kids in my class. I went to the fourth and sixth grades in Emmet, which was about twenty-five miles away. I graduated in ceremonies from the eighth grade in Horseshoe Bend. I went to my freshman year of high school at Emmett high, then we moved to Ogden where I was in the tenth grade at Mound Fort Jr. High and then two years 2 at Ogden High School. I graduated from there June 6, 1952. I was seventeen years old when I graduated. Then I went into nurses training. MF: Why did you decide to become a nurse? ES: First, I had always wanted to be a nurse and marry a doctor. I think it was because when I was a little girl the doctor in Emmett had owned the hospital, or something, and his wife was a nurse. I just always thought that was so wonderful. I just always wanted to be a nurse. That was the only thing. MF: That is wonderful. ES: I used to think, "I would not want to be a beauty operator, as they called them then, because that seemed like such dirty work, washing people's dirty hair. Now, tell me, bedpans compared to washing somebody's hair!" But I always wanted to be a nurse. MF: So you chose the Dee Hospital because it was close, convenient… ES: Yes, because it was here in town. MF: What were your first impressions when you first entered nurses training? ES: Well honestly it was a great day. I am sure I was pretty excited. I was probably also a little frightened. I didn't know exactly what to expect but it was a fun time. Diane Stowe was my roommate. We had a wonderful experience together as roommates until she got married. Then I had another roommate for awhile. MF: Did you have to take any assessments before you entered school or did you just have to fill out an application? ES: Well, I apparently must have applied for a scholarship. I remember going to the hospital. Verle Lesnan was the Director of Nurses when I was in training, but I 3 think Edna Seidner was the Director of Nurses when I went to the hospital to talk to them about nursing, or about going to school there, before I ever entered. Then apparently—I don't know if I was given papers to fill out for the Bamberger Scholarship, I don't remember how I received that scholarship, but it was for $350.00 and five students received it. It paid for all of our school expenses: college registration and fees, room and board, books, uniforms, etc. for all three years (36 months) of training. MF: Do you remember who your housemother was? ES: Yes, Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. McGraw were our housemothers. MF: How were they? Were they strict or motherly? ES: They were pretty good. I wonder if Mrs. McGraw was a little more strict. We were the last class so things were so different for us than from other classes. By the time we were ready to graduate there were only nineteen of us left and some of us weren't even living at the nurses home. Things were a little more relaxed I think. MF: Could you get married or could you just be engaged? ES: In the very beginning in 1952, I am not sure how many people could be married. There were some married students. Kitty Milligan had been married quite awhile. There were some others. I am not certain when they started allowing students to get married. In our class several people were married by the time we finished. Things were much more relaxed. MF: So you said your roommate was Diane. She was for the first couple years, right? ES: Yes. 4 MF: Who was your other one? Do you remember? ES: Then LuAnn Secrist, and then she got married. Her husband was in the Navy so we were roommates probably the rest of the time. MF: What were some of the rules you had to follow? Was there anything specific that you remember? ES: Well yes, we had curfew. I can't remember what time it was. Probably ten o'clock, I don't think it would have been as early as nine. Of course when you were on call, you had to stay around at the nurses home so you would be available to go to work when you were needed. On curfew I know there were some students who would usually put a rock in the door or something like that so they could come in a little bit later. MF: If you had a night off what was something you would do as a group or with your roommate? ES: Well we would date. There were lots of blind dating going on because there were always students who always knew somebody and somebody needed a date so you would do some blind dating. That was kind of fun. Of course, movies, we would go to a movie. We did thing, we would go up the canyon roasting marshmallows and playing games, going swimming up to Pineview. MF: Do you remember any of your favorite classes? ES: Some of my favorite classes? We had—Ruth Oka was a really cute instructor. She was strict but she was fun. She taught us operating room techniques. Doctor Curtis taught us OB/GYN down in the basement of the nurse's home. I ironed for Doctor Curtis's family, for his wife, while I was in nurses training to 5 earn a little bit of money. One day I was down in the delivery room and I stood there by the open door. He was delivering a baby. He saw me standing there and he said to the lady on the table, "See that young lady standing over there? She is the best ironer that we have ever had." I thought, "I'm sure this lady, in the middle of delivering a baby, is really interested in what kind of ironing I would do." Then also in class—whenever we would go to his class, I would always look at his shirts that he was wearing because I had ironed that shirts. I always felt pretty good about that. MF: Who taught you medical? ES: I don't remember that. I remember that we had a doctor named doctor Alvord who taught something maybe pharmacology. It seemed like he had just come back from the army or something. LaPrele Neville taught nursing arts. Ruth Brown was absolutely marvelous. I loved her. I thought she was the best nurse there ever was, very strict. You were always doing something. When she was there you were always working. You didn't sit down, you dusted or cleaned or whatever. She was a great nurse. MF: She is fabulous. We had a good interview with her. ES: Yes she was. And Mrs. Mass taught us. MF: Did you have instructors specifically for that or was it the doctors that were at the hospital? ES: I am sure some other doctors taught us and I just cannot remember who all they were that taught our classes. Mostly Marie Donaldson was an instructor and Mrs. Mass and Ruth Brown. In my little book Louise Scoville, said she enjoyed 6 teaching, but I don't remember her as a teacher. I remember her as an assistant director of nursing. MF: That is interesting. Tell us about your capping ceremony. When did that take place? ES: I guess we got our caps at six months because we were on probation for six months. I have a picture of it there in my scrapbook. So, six months after we had been in nurse's training was when we had a ceremony and received our caps. That was very thrilling and exciting. MF: You survived six months. ES: Yes. Our caps, as you probably already know, had one vertical stripe when you were a freshman, two stripes when you were a junior, three stripes when you were a senior and then all of those stripes were taken off and one was around the top when we graduated. MF: Okay. ES: It was exciting to get your stripes on your cap. MF: While you were in nurse's training were there any doctors that you enjoyed working with? ES: Yes there were. Doctor Grua was a doctor that I enjoyed working with. Doctor Curtis of course. Doctor Pendleton was a new doctor who came while we were in nurse's training. We had interns and residents that we worked with a lot too. So that was good. MF: Now the Korean War was already over—was it already over when you guys were in? I can't remember. 7 ES: I am not sure but I think so, it ended in July 1953. Doctor Seager had just come back from being in the war. He was in one of the original MASH units. He used to tell us stories about that, Doctor Drew Peterson and Jay G. Olsen were doctors that could read EKG's. Other people didn't read EKG's which amazes me—now everybody knows how. But if someone had one in the afternoon I think they had to wait until the next day when Doctor Peterson or Olsen came to work to read the EKG. Times have changed. MF: I think they have changed. So while you were doing your training what was your favorite floor? What did you enjoy the most? ES: We would be on each place for three months or so. The one I disliked the most or really didn't care so much about was diet therapy in the diet kitchen. I worked in the diet kitchen the month before I got married on April 1, 1955, the year we graduated. I never really cared too much for learning about the diets that people had to have for various things. I worked in the diet kitchen and my report that month said that I was more interested in my forthcoming marriage than I was in learning diet therapy. That was probably true. MF: That was probably true. ES: But, I liked being in surgery, I liked pediatrics, surgical probably more than medical, I worked in the preemie nursery. Of course, we worked in all of the places. It seemed like wherever I was working I liked those places. MF: While you were in nurse's training, what was your greatest challenge that you had to overcome? 8 ES: Oh I don't know. I don't know what to say to that. I don't know what my greatest challenge would have been. MF: That is what Sue said. She said it was wonderful, it wasn't really too hard. It was just a fun time. Plus you were so close as far as roommates and your class. ES: I got along with kids in my class and got along with the nurses. Maybe some of the head nurses would have been a challenge sometimes, I am sure that they were. But really it was a good experience. Some things were easier than others, of course. MF: That is true. So when you graduated—you graduated in 1955, was it September? ES: September sixteenth. MF: Did you stay at the Dee? What did you do after you graduated? ES: After we graduated we took our state boards down at the Capitol Building in Salt Lake. I said at the time they were hard. After you have done something that is hard but then you've passed, you will say, "piece of cake, it wasn't that tough." I vowed that I would never say that they were easy because I thought they were hard. Maybe other people thought they were easy, but they were hard. We were there for a couple of days doing state boards. Then I left and flew up to Tacoma, Washington to live with my husband who was stationed at Fort Lewis in the military. I went to see about at Tacoma General Hospital and had an interview. I didn't know that I had been hired until on Monday I received a card in the mail saying—that Monday and Tuesday were my days off and I was to report to work on Wednesday. So I worked on the surgical floor at Tacoma General Hospital. 9 MF: Do you think you training at the Dee—probably served you well as far as you could get a job anywhere? ES: Yes. Actually, I had thought maybe I would go to Madigan General Hospital because I didn't even have the results of my state board. You could work at the Army hospital without the results of your state board. I don't think I had even been there to see about a job because I had gone to Tacoma General and did not expect that I would get a job until I knew if I had passed my state boards but they hired me. MF: How long did you stay up there? ES: Until April, we were there about six months. Then Dale was released from the Army and we came back to Ogden. I worked for the next four months in the nursery, I think, and on surgical floor. MF: At the Dee? ES: At the Dee. Then my husband went to Law School at the University of Utah. So we went down there. I loved nursing but I just was not interesting in working a lot. I was the kind of girl that just thought when you were seven months pregnant you didn't work anymore. I was pregnant then so I didn't even try to get a job. A lot of kids, especially the ones in the delivery room would work right up and be working there when they would go into labor, but I never did. Every time I would decide that I would like a baby, I would to get pregnant, and then I would work seven months and then I would quit. Before our second child was born, I worked part time in Salt Lake on Pediatrics at LDS Hospital two nights a week while my husband was in law school. We moved back to Ogden when he finished school 10 in 1960 and I wanted to get pregnant again and I went to St. Benedicts to work. I worked two nights a week there in the psychiatric unit. That place was smoke-filled because of the patients and a lot of them were alcoholics and just had lots of problems. We were downstairs in a very enclosed area and I would come out of there and could hardly talk from all the smoke in there. MF: So quite a difference from the Dee. ES: It was a good experience working there. I had some patients that were good patients. I learned to like salami sandwiches there. I had never eaten salami and one of our patients wanted salami all the time. I started eating salami and really quite enjoyed it. MF: Did you retire or did you still just do your two days? ES: No. Then I just didn't work. Several years later, I don't know how many, I had a friend in my ward who was a nurse and she did some things out at Roy Hospital. So for just a little bit I would go out and help assist when they would do some foot surgery or something like that, but only a few times. Then I just didn't work anymore. MF: And you have stayed in Ogden since, right? ES: Yes. MF: How do you think that nursing has changed over the years? What do you think as far as technology? ES: At one point I had decided I was going to go back and renew my license because I had let it expire. Had there been some kind of a program that I could have been in and had some structure, maybe I would have gone ahead and renewed my 11 certificate but there wasn't. I went to St. Benedicts with the idea that is what I would do. You had to work for a month with a preceptor there, and do some classes on your own, they put me in ICU with an isolation patient. I had not worked for years. I said at that time the only thing that was the same as when I worked last was that they took the temperature in the same place and they gave an enema in the same place. Now they don't even take the temperature in the same place and I don't know if they even give enemas. We used to fill a bucket with hot sudsy water and it had a long hose on it and boy those enemas were— they would say, "High, hot, and heck of a lot!" They changed that long ago. So that is one thing that I think totally changed. MF: The advancements in medicine… ES: So much and things that we didn't even have. Now you can get a degree in this or this or this. They didn't even have those things when I was in nurses training at all. Like I said about the EKG's. They are at every nurses station. They can watch monitors and know what is going on. I know when we used to do patient care and maybe they needed hot packs we would have a container that would have really hot water in it. You would dip a towel in it and wring it out, that wasn't easy. You would wrap it up in another towel and take it to the patient. You would have to change that frequently. All that wringing… MF: They just have microblankets now. They are so nice. ES: Everything has changed. MF: Do you still keep in contact with the people you went to school with? 12 ES: Yes, very much. In fact, we have had several parties at my home through the years. I have pictures in my scrapbook of our fifty year reunion which was here at my home, nineteen of us graduated. I think about twenty-five started. But nineteen of us graduated, and by our fifty year reunion two were deceased, one was teaching at a college in California so she couldn't come, one was on a mission in Florida and one just didn't come because she didn't want to. So there were fourteen of us here for our fifty year reunion. Some of them had not seen each other in fifty years. MF: Wow. ES: It was wonderful. I happened to be the president of the Alumni Association at that time, which I have been two or three different times. We had our reunion the day before and our alumni luncheon was the next day. It was wonderful. Yes I keep in touch with lots of them. MF: It is nice because I think you had to rely on each other. The Weber nurses don't get that now. ES: No. MF: You have your sisterhood that you created because you had to rely on each other. You ran the hospital and all these things that you did. ES: It was a completely different thing. We did live together and because we did, we have the association. You have seen our little booklets that we put out periodically. Also, because I have been an officer several different times, I am aware of a lot of people from years past other than just my own class or the class ahead of me. 13 MF: That is kind of fun because then you get talking and see the difference between ten years. It is amazing. ES: When we went into training, Diane and I lived on the West side of the nurse's home which was kind of the old side. Most of our class lived on the other side. There were maybe just a couple of others, maybe four others, that lived on the West side. Also on that side were the nurses who were transferred from Logan because they had closed down their school of nursing. So we became friends with them—they were seniors when we went into training. MF: So that would be like Dora Peterson. ES: Yes, Dora Leskow. MF: I grew up with her daughter in Clinton. That is how I knew her. ES: So we knew them. MF: Did you have anything you wanted to ask her or are you good? Alright, I think we have got all of our questions. Is there anything else you thought of you wanted to share with us? ES: Oh, what were some of the things? I was going to tell you about one of my patients. They don't do this at all anymore. They didn't really even do it then really, but she had horrible, terrible bed sores and they tried a little experiment of putting her in a sawdust bed. I don't know who all else took care of her but I took care of her. There she laid in sawdust and trying to do patient care on her was not easy. We had some kind of a little lift we could hook her up too so we could bathe her. She was just laying in sawdust. They don't do that anymore. MF: So how did that work? Did it work at all or was it just kind of experimental? 14 ES: No, I don't think that worked very good. Also, when I was in training—student nurses from Salt Lake probably St. Benedicts, and the Dee all went to the TB Sanitorium for six weeks. By the time I was there, there were only three of us who were out there at that time because we were the last students out there. I had just been married the month before. My husband was stationed down out of Las Vegas. He would come home every weekend. LuAnn Harris had been married the month before. She got pregnant on her honeymoon so here she was sick the whole time while we were at the TB Sanitarium. Joyce Udy was the other one. She would say goodnight to a boy at the front door and walk out the back and there would be another one waiting for her. That was quite the six weeks. I don't remember our instructors in Provo. Provo was very interesting. I enjoyed being at the State Mental Hospital, we were there for three months. One day I went on to the division—I was just wearing street clothes and I didn't take my keys with me. I guess I went to visit some patients and as someone was going in, I just walked in with them. When it was time for me to leave there were some people that were leaving so I ran after them and said, "Keep the door open so I can come out with you!" I kept calling to them and they just shut the door because they thought I was patient, as I was dressed like one. I didn't have my keys. Unlike the patients that had to stay, I could go to the nurse and say, "Would you please let me out?" They had wonderful cheese that they made there. They made cheese and bread. We always had bread and cheese at the nurses home. That was really 15 good. Sometimes we would eat at the cafeteria and some of the patients, the ones that weren't so bad, would be eating there. They had good food. That was interesting. Graduation was wonderful. We carried a dozen red roses and walked to the church for graduation. MF: Well we appreciate you letting us come visit with you. ES: Thank you. MF: Glad you finally made it home. We kept saying, "Oh we'll have to get her when she comes home." ES: Oh it was great, a good experience.

We just couldn't resist trying out the Coby Kyros. It wasn't the $250 list price ($150 street) or Android 2.2 operating system that lured us in; it was the screen. We've seen plenty of 7-inch and 10-inch tablets pass through CNET, but never an 8-inch. We figured maybe Coby was onto something.
Design and features
Unfortunately, the first thing you'll notice about the Coby Kyros is that the screen is unforgivably bad. When it comes to budget tablets there's a lot we can forgive (minimal storage, plastic construction, poor battery life), but when you cheap out on a tablet's screen, we have to draw the line. The Kyros' resistive screen requires a forceful touch (a plastic stylus is included) and is covered in a sheet of plastic that is easy to scratch. What's worse is that the LCD panel and the resistive plastic covering are spaced so far apart that the screen appears as though it is underwater. As a result, viewing angles are mediocre, e-book text is washed out, and outdoor viewing is nearly impossible.
If you can look past the Kyros' screen (and you shouldn't, since it's the foundation of the entire tablet) you'll notice a 2.1-megapixel camera above the display and a home button below it that is flanked by buttons for search, back, menu, and browser. Yes, Android fans, Coby threw a dedicated browser button in among the conventional Android navigation. Having it there is convenient, in theory, but in practice we wound up triggering it by accident more often than using it deliberately.
On the right side you'll find a power button and volume rocker--fairly standard stuff. The back offers a pair of stereo speakers. The bottom edge, though, is where all the action is. Here's where you'll find the microSD memory card slot (which accepts up to 32GB of extra storage) and the always-reassuring "reset" hole. The bottom also holds the power adapter input and headphone jack (which we confused for each other more than a few times), a Mini-USB sync port, and a Mini-HDMI output that supports up to 1080p video output. How it is you plan on acquiring 1080p movie content and loading it onto a tablet with only 4GB of storage (2.9GB usable) is entirely up to you to figure out.
Included with the Kyros is a USB sync cable, a USB host adapter cable (which works with thumbdrives, but not external keyboards), a pair of earbuds, a plastic stylus, and a wall-wart-design power adapter for recharging. Be sure to keep that charger handy, since the Kyros is rated at 6 hours of Web browsing at the default brightness (which, as you might guess, is fairly dim).
The Coby Kyros runs Android 2.2, aka Froyo, but it's not the Google-sanctioned version of Android you've seen on products like the Samsung Galaxy Tab or
Dell Streak 7
. Instead, you're getting the open-sourced Android experience that is common to most of the low-end tablets and e-book readers, such as the
Archos 7 Home Tablet
, Velocity Micro Cruz Reader, and
Maylong M-150
. As such, there's no Google Market, no Google Maps, no Navigation (not that there's GPS anyway), no Google Books, no Google Talk, no Gmail, no Google Calendar...you get the picture. It's not a device for Google fans.

How do you play apothecary? Do you stick to a support role, or do you take a more "active" approach to your class. Do you prefer meele or ranged? Do you play prestige classes with your apothecary (Ravenwing/Wolfpriest/Sanguinary Priest)?
Personally I like to go Tyrannic War veteran apothecary, I feel like it helps make Apothecary a bit more dangerous in combat will retaining the ability to support my kill team with my medical skills/knowledge of Tyranids.

That would be nice. I sometimes get lost on what reality we're in.Something I just noticed a couple weeks ago (maybe its been there, I dont keep old episodes so cant go back and check) Each reality is filmed with a different color tint. One has a bluish tint while the other has a slight red tint. The only place I have seen that before was on Charlie Jade.

Peanut butter cookies induce a love/hate relationship for many dieters. The creamy, sugary, buttery, smooth mouth feel is strongly desired; while moving to the next latch on your belt loop is not. Well, you can take the hate part out of that relationship because I just stumbled upon an all natural treat that warrants nothing but love. Say hello to my little friend, Penny's Low Fat Desserts Peanut Butter Cookie.
It tastes like a fluffy, soft, dense, homemade peanut butter cookie with smooth, all natural peanut butter goodness thoroughly present in each and every bite. To complement the creamy peanut butter cookie base, peanut butter chips are dispersed throughout the batter and elevate specific bites to a level that one thought only possible in their low fat dreams. The peanut butter flavor just works. It is not overwhelming, but is most certainly present and accounted for. Finding anything that is low fat and high on the creamy dreamy flavor of peanut butter ... and all natural is not easy (sorry Weight Watcher's Peanut Butter Cookies, you don't count; and you're too small!). However, Penny's food scientists have most definitely nailed it!
Each 52 gram Penny's Low Fat Desserts Peanut Butter Cookie provides 150 calories, 4% & 9% of the daily value for total and saturated fat, 129% of DV for fiber, 18 grams of sugar and 3 grams of protein. The sugar count is somewhat high (and it's the first ingredient), but the fat, fiber and protein counts are very respectable for this all natural treat.
Don't lose sight that this is merely a treat. However, it's a creamy, mouthwatering treat with substance.
The only way you will truly understand just how soft and satisfying this cookie would be to purchase some for yourself, which you can do online at Penny's Low Fat Desserts ($29.99 for a box of 24). If this tasty dessert was posed against a Vitalicious Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip VitaTop, I think I'd have to go with Penny's creation ... more peanut butter goodness to love - although the VitaTops has less sugar (11 grams vs. 18 grams), so it would be a tough decision.

Jeather Multi Zipper Icon Skinny Pant
This jeather pant is awesome! The fit is perfect and the shine is incredible....Ladies dont pass this one up...I will say they run a size smaller. I normally wear a 27 and the 28 was a very nice snug fit....the shine is perfect! The zippers give the pant a biker look as well.....I would highly recommend this pant!!
February 2, 2013
Sexy, tons of compliments; go to larger size if in doubt
I absolutely *love* these pants. I have only had them for a few weeks but have already received tons of compliments. The sheen they gave off is amazing without looking cheap. The material is incredibly comfy; I would wear these instead of regular jeans all the time if I could. I've washed them twice, and they've came out just fine.
In terms of sizing, I think they're pretty true but I agree they are just a little bit on the tight/rigid size. I am 5'11" 138lbs., 36D-28-38 and was torn between ordering the 28 or 29. I went with the 29 and was glad I did. Keep in mind, these are skinny/tight pants; I highly recommend going with the next size up if you are at all between sizes. And yes, they are a little short on me, but I expected that and it doesn't bother me, as they are pretty low rise.
You won't be disappointed! I just wish they made them in red or royal also.
January 10, 2013
A bit rigid
I am usually a 28 or a size Small in Bebe pants but these pants just would not give! I had to settle for the 29 partly because I refused to buy a 30 and partly because the store didnt have a 30. Usually jeather pants are a bit more stretchable and I have to go a size down but not these puppies

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Precious!
Facts about Precious
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Precious's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
I\'m friendly and sweet and a wonderful companion. I\'m a young adult black tortiseshell spayed female. I am negative for FELV/FIV, spayed or neutered and had one (if adult) or two (if kitten) distemper shot(s). and a rabies shot if old enough
Other Pets at 9 Lives Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Precious, a Colorado Springs Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Colorado Springs, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Colorado Springs.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Colorado Springs already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Colorado Springs breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Colorado Springs paves the way for another one to be saved.
