Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

We just got home from Mom's. It is still the 2nd here, and it is her 93rd bday. 🎊🥳 The doctor recently told her that if she starts eating more, and drinking more water, there's no reason she can't live to be 100! 🥳

Devonne, I'm so very sorry about your pups! 🙏🏻 It is never easy to say goodbye!

That's it for now. In addition to having laser treatments to (hopefully) reduce eye pressure, I've been experiencing awful dizziness which has accelerated into full-blown vertigo, and I limit my screen time.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers! 🙏🏻🤗

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

Happy Birthday to your mum DIANE, wish her the very best!! Yuk news on the eyes (((hugs)))

Good news for Gina SANDRA I hope the patch works, is it for pain or something else. 

It's been a quiet day here, still raining on and off, and we have SNOW falling, quite a lot, in the northern tablelands, unheard of for this time year, it's August for goodness sake, they do get snow, usually not too much, but this is 18" YIKES it's quite a bit north of us, but inland. People are stuck, because of course they can't drive in the snow LOL

Megan & Gary had their other van leave today, they are relieved it's finally gone he was supposed to come yesterday, but the rain was so bad he put it off till today, Gary helped him a lot but he was nervous towing, he had about an hour to drive. Poor guy, he is planning on crossing the Nullabour in September but take it on a few trips before then to get used to it. 

I sorted out some fabric, I know I have such a big stash I thought I might get fabrics out for another 2 of that Perfect 10 quilt, it is only smallish pieces, I have lots that might be good. I want Julie's opinion on whether it would be good to use Japanese fabric, I have lots and want to get it used up, maybe too much gold bits in them, I'll get some opinions in class.

I did my online order today for groceries, I must have been playing with the site and changed my preference to "deliver" not pick up. didn't realise till I paid, it came on time, however I got an extra bag of things, not mine, but had the sticker for me on it, it was cold goods, so they put labels on those bags I was lucky - I messaged them straight away, and was told it's their error, thanks for letting them know and I was to keep them, at least $30 worth of food, eggs ,chicken breast, strawberries and a large caesar salad, now I've realised that I didn't get the bag of stir fry veg I ordered, but I will just get some tomorrow. 

How lucky am I. I asked Megan if she wanted any of it, but she didn't.

I have to finish cooking dinner, It's roast lamb and veg, we'll have plenty of leftovers, so it will be good to have another dinner already LOL I hate deciding what to cook for dinner, it was great when the Mr was away, Pete and I had some of the single serve meals I had in the freezer.

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

I had to come back after dinner. I forgot to check the last posts.

I'm glad the funeral went well HOLLY, I love when others tell the funny stories it is sad enough, bring out the good memories with everyone I say (((hugs))) .

SANDRA I hadn't read about Blood Patch, is she OK, what was the diagnosis, no fun when she had to wait so long (((hugs)))

CHERYL I checked out Jessi's page, good for her, she looks well, I worry about the youngest, he was so big, and so red faced, is he OK, he needed to loose weight too. Very difficult when the family is mostly big, I remember one son was just like his dad.

I saw an instagram about the girls walking, it was so windy near the beaches, and was cold, they will be exhausted tonight. So good of them to fund raise for this, I donated instead LOL  because I could never do that long a walk.  Mitochondrial affects from babies to adults, and so many different conditions, it would be great to find a cure.  

I really need to get moving, I want to get my fabric mess cleaned up, at least I tossed some small pieces -  I am going to find out tomorrow if they take  scrap filled pillow cases (sewn shut) for dog shelters, I would need to buy the pillow cases, but at least it would be used.

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

So a blood patch is when they inject a small amount of the patient’s blood into the epidural space of the spine, usually after a lumbar puncture. It’s so if there is a CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) the blood patch plugs the hole. A CSF leak will cause headaches.

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

READER'S DIGEST, ALL IN A LIFE'S WORK......
SAVING FOR A NEW CAR ON A TEACHER'S SALARY TAKES A LONG TIME.  SO IN THE MEANTIME, I BORROWED A BEATER FROM A FRIEND.  THE PAINT WAS PEELING, AND THE BODY WAS SO DENTED THAT ITS DENTS HAD DENTS.  AND YET IT RAN.
ONE DAY, I LEFT SCHOOL TO FIND A POLICE OFFICER AND A WOMAN EXAMINING MY CAR.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?" I ASKED.
"I SAW THIS WOMAN HIT YOUR CAR," SAID THE OFFICER.  "BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE."


ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE IN MAINE.  NO WONDER WE ARE CALLED 'VACATIONLAND'.  ITS ON OUR LICENSE PLATES SO IT MUST BE TRUE.

THANK YOU HOLLY, FOR THAT EXPLANATION OF A BLOOD PATCH.  YOU DID MUCH BETTER THAN I COULD EXPLAIN IT.  SO FAR ITS WORKED SO MAYBE SHE HAD A LEAK.

CHERYL......HOW WONDERFUL THAT JESSI IS MAKING A GO OF HER HOME BAKING ENTERPRISE.  THAT'S MARVELOUS.  I WISH HER GREAT THINGS.

DIANE.....HOW GREAT YOUR MOM IS DOING SO WELL AT 93.  THAT'S ALWAY GOOD NEWS.
SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR MEDICAL ISSUES.  I KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT VERTIGO.  IT HITS ME SOMETIMES AS WELL.  THAT'S WHEN I LIVE ON MY SOFA FOR THE DAY.  READING DOESN'T HELP, THAT'S FOR SURE.
I'D RATHER THE WONKIES WHICH FOR ME IS A BALANCE ISSUE AND CAN BE IMMOBILIZING LIMITING MY ACTIONS, TOO.
JUST TAKE IT EASY AND DO AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.  HUGS.

THANK YOU LADIES FOR THE INFO ABOUT SALT IN DRY SOUP MIXES.  I HAVE ALREADY CROSSED THAT INGREDIENT OFF MY RECIPE SHOULD I MAKE IT IN FUTURE.  I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER PORK CHOP RECIPE THAT MAY WORK EVEN BETTER NEXT TIME.

I FINISHED THE FIRST BOOK IN THE MRS. POLLIFAX SERIES.  ITS ONE OF MY OLD BOOKS, WORN AND NORMAL PRINT.  BUT SO FAR I COULD NOT FIND THAT ONE IN LARGE PRINT.  THE FIRST ONE I FOUND WAS THE 4TH BOOK IN THE SERIES SO I WILL CONTINUE TO READ MY NUMBERS 2 AND 3 TIL MY NEW BOOKS ARRIVE.  THERE ARE 14 IN THE SERIES AND I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 7 OR 8 OF THEM.

MY NEIGHBOR BROUGHT ME A SLICE OF APPLE PIE YESTERDAY SO I GAVE HER A SCOOP OF VANILLA ICE CREAM SO WE COULD BOTH HAVE PIE ALA MODE.  THE ONLY ICE CREAM SHE BUYS ARE THE ICE CREAM BARS.  THE ONLY KIND I BUY NOW ARE THE CREAMY CHOCOLATE SCOOPABLE.  THIS TIME MY SON BOUGHT BE A CONTAINER OF HALF CHOC AND HALF VANILLA SINCE THEY HAD NO CHOCOLATE.  I WAS GOING TO SAY GALF GALLON BUT THEY AREN'T HALF GALLONS ANYMORE.  MORE LIKE 1 1/2 QUARTS FOR THE SAME PRICE.

TODAY IS MY DAY OF REST.  I WAS ABLE TO GET MY SATURDAY CHORES ALL COMPLETED.  TODAY I CAN REST.  I WON'T EVEN COOK SINCE I STILL HAVE LEFTOVERS OF ONE THING OR ANOTHER. 
UNFORTUNATELY THE CHEATING HAS ADDED BACK A LB I LOST SO I REALLY HAVE TO STOP DOING THAT.  ITS THE CHIPS.  I LOVE THEM AND IF I START EATING A FEW, IT TURNS INTO SEVERAL DOZEN.  AND, OF COURSE, THE PIE ALA MODE DIDN'T HELP.   YIKES.  GOT TO TAPE MY MOUTH SHUT AT NIGHT.

I'VE RUN OUT OF NEWS. STAY SAFE EVERYONE. HUGS, QB S

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

Diane, happy #93 to your Mom. How wonderful she has lived so long.

I groomed Gracie this morning. Her next groom will be with Pretty Paws. G&E use them and it's $60 per dog. That's a great price. I'm not against continuing to use Dee, but she gets here so late. I don't know if she would want to come now to groom one dog & make way less money.

Cheryl, I don't have a Sam's or Costco membership. I go with Greg and use his membership. I might go once a year. That's good news about Jessi. I'll check her site out later.

Judy, I also got someone else's food on my last order....Starbucks coffee, two green bell peppers and a large bag of lima beans. Emily said she would take the lima beans. The coffee alone was $17. It's a dark roast which I normally don't like, but I'm going to try it.

Trish, if you have extra fabric, you could make your own pillowcases. They wouldn't even need to be a perfect size. I think this is a great idea.

Greg and Carter are on the way...later, friends!

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

Devonne, you can combine different coffees. Ralph uses regular mixed with half caff. 

We have a bird bath out front. I looked out and there was a bird the size of a Robin, having a great time splashing around in it. And Ralph’s friend gave him a huge zucchini that looked funky, so he sliced it into 1 inch strips and put it out for the deer. We could see on camera they gobbled it right down!

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

Once again, just checking in.  Howard is patiently waiting for his supper--a Duke's mixture of whole, peeled sweet potatoes (the peel looked ugly) and chicken thighs with ranch seasoning sprinkled under the skin, all together in the crock pot.  It's ready but we don't want to eat before five or we get hungry by bedtime.  
So, hello and goodbye for now...

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

It's Monday night, just had dinner, a quick and easy one, cook some mince (turkey for us ) add some teriyaki sauce and stir fry veg, then add some hokkein noodles, the weight of all of them is 500g  each (1lb  in your weights). I soak the hokkein noodles to loosen them from the big blob they come in LOL - I add some worcestershire sauce and sometimes some ketchup or BBQ sauce, really popular dinner here, lots of leftovers and if John comes Thursday they will last till then!

It's been a funny day here, some rain, some wind, some sun - I got all the bed linen done from ours and spare room, and also the towels, went to yoga and then to order some new glasses, my cheap ones had to have the screws tightened - one of the lenses fell out, I was able to fix, but decided I may as well get some new ones, I also picked up the ones I had sent for repairs, turns out they were in the store, someone had put them in the wrong place, now I need to sort out all the old glasses I have, they take them and send them somewhere to be re-used.

HOLLY thanks for explanation, I had never heard of anything like that. Love that you could feed the deer, those too big zucchini are often tasteless.

SANDRA she must have had a leak somewhere, glad they could fix it., how on earth does that happen, hope the patch does the trick, poor Gina, must have been awful for her.

CHERYL I hadn't thought of that, I have tons of fabric, might be able to just make up bags instead of buying, if I do a french seam they will be sturdier. they will also be quick to make - and stuff LOL I wasn't able to call today, I will do tomorrow.

SANDRA I was thinking, why do they call it 'a la mode' I don't know anywhere else you can order like that. I always understood the french meaning to be 'fashionable' or 'in the fashion' wonder how it came about ?

INDY sounds like a nice quick dinner, I prefer sweet potato, I really like the purple skin one best, but we mostly have the orange flesh ones. Sounds like the Mr - he wants dinner at 6pm, unless he's out of course LOL
He gets it when it's ready, unless HE gets it LOL

I have training in the morning, then I would like to get the floors vac'd, didn't get to it today. If I get time I will chop fabric into 9" squares, that will work for the Perfect 10 quilts.

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

ANOTHER FROM READER'S DIGEST.....
WORKERS TOOK TO REDDIT TO REAVEAL SOME OF THE BIZARRE MOMENTS THAT KEEP WORK INTERESTING.....
1.  A CLIENT CALLED, LIVID, "YOU GUYS ARE A TERRIBLE COMPANY THAT CAN'T EVEN BUILD A CALENDAR APP RIGHT," HE YELLED.  "I TRIED TO MAKE A BOOKING FOR FEB 30 AND I COULDNT EVEN FIND IT.  TELL ME, HOW DO I MAKE A BOOKING FOR FEB. 30 IF THE CALENDAR ONLY DISPLAYS TILL FEB 28?"
2.  EVERY SINGLE DAY AT WORK, I ANSWER MY PHONE, "DAVE SPEAKING." AND EVERY SINGLE DAY, SOMEONE REPLIES, "HI, CAN I SPEAK TO DAVE?"
3.  A CO-WORKER ONCE ASKED ME, "DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING INCONSIDERATE BEING SO TALL?"

ITS LOVELY OUT BUT WILL WARM UP TO THE HIGH 80S TODAY BEFORE BACK TO 70S TOMORROW.

I ENJOYED MY LAZY SUNDAY.  I WORKED MY JIGSAW PUZZLE, DID MY LAPS, WATCHED THE SOUND OF MUSIC AND JUST ENJOYED MY DAY.  NO COOKING, NO CLEANING.  JUST RELAXED.  DID A GOOD BIT OF READING, TOO.

TODAY ITS BACK TO CHORES AND COOKING, BUT LOTS OF READING AND WORKING MY PUZZLE AS WELL.  
NOTHING EXCITING TO REPORT.  STAY SAFE.  HUGS, QB S

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

It's not going to make it to 70 today. There are still some days in the 90's coming up, but not many.

Greg fixed a pair of readers for me when they came. He also put my new license plate on the Honda. I have to buy a tag again in October. They should make it be good until your next year's birthday.

Carter started school today. Hard to believe he's in the 8th grade! 

Holly, that's a good idea, but I use the Keurig cups so I have nothing to mix it with. I do have some coffee in the freezer Greg got me when they went to Hawaii. I doubt it's still good. It's been quite awhile since they went to Hawaii, lol.

Good Morning, I'm not feeling very bright this morning so will be brief!!
There is just the lightest of breezes, but is fairly bright, have no  plans for the day.  Just saw a squirrel (not sure that's spelled right) on the little tree outside the window.  It saw me and took right off!!

Rhonda is working so will be over after work,  Tracy is still on vacation.  I really can't think of a thing to say, so will sign off, wishing you all well, BJ.

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

QB, we watched the last half of Sound of Music after I gave up on the show we were trying to watch.  it was too peculiar for me and Howard was sleeping.  Glad they found the help Gena needed, poor dear.  

Devonne, 8th grade?  Impossible.    BTW, it was Trish that got the wrong order, not me.  I've never ordered groceries even though ML wants me to. They have the app for W-M.  I tell her  even though I'm not crazy about W-M, it's good exercise.  Hushes her up! 

Diane, good news for your Mom.  Besides the physical issues, she's had many emotional things to deal with the past few years.  I'm so hoping they can help you, too.  Hugs!

Cheryl, Jessi went thru some tough times.  It's wonderful she's doing well.  Her web site was interesting.  I don't believe I've ever eaten anything that was gluten-free.  
Poor "little" Bosco!  

We had a miserable last week.  Were almost was scammed, again, and had to close old ones and get new bank accounts in our two banks,  along with all the busy work that involves.  I'm warning you all:  BE VERY CAREFUL AND EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS!!!   With this scam, they were able to move money around between our savings and checking account with their computer. Howard could see it on his statement printouts.  We scurried to both banks and were able to stop it all, but it could have been much different. Once they move more money into your checking account (from savings), it's much easier to access it.  The bank person told us that and told us to remind and warn our friends, plus the new warning that "it's only going to get worse with AI"...  I'm still reeling a bit from it all.  

ON Saturday, after being on and off the fence, ML and I went to the annual Chesterton Art Fair.
It's was a perfect summer day and is so often hot and humid on that weekend, same every year, that we didn't want to miss it.  Ran into friend, Cheryl and her daughter right away, then saw only a few others we knew.  Because I'm a forever rock hound and I still had my Christmas money from Howard, I got a pendant made from Lake Michigan shoreline small rocks and sterling silver, from an artist I never thought I could afford.  it fits perfectly on my turquoise beads, so I'm pleased.  Howard's comment, "You paid xxx for two rocks?"  He's not artistic so hard to explain what that artist has to do and he does  like it on the turquoise.  
ML loves pottery and bought a couple of pcs.  We ate lunch theirto loud  live jazz music, which we both hate.   It's so good to have her well and able to do things again.  

Need to go.  Have to figure out supper.  Do other things.  Had a long catch-up call with Cheryl this morning... 
Indy

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

Afternoon y'all! 

By Friday they were still giving mom Haldol!  I was livid and asked for a copy of the medications she is on.  I called the hospice nurse that was filling in for the regular one and she has no clue who called it in or why.  She called the facilities pharmacy to cancel the med, again.  Mom is still nowhere near alert, the med has to get out of her system.  The hospice was going to call the pharmacy this morning and ask who called the med in.  They were giving it to her every 4 hours.  The woman has a strong constitution, most elderly people it would have killed them with the dose she was on!  I do need to talk to both the facility and hospice and reinforce that all med changes require a phone call to me!  

It's rainy and cold here.  Temps never made it out of the 60's today!  I live in the south!  I can never remember a time that I had windows open in August unless the air conditioning was out!  I need to go find me a sweater as I am chilly sitting here! 

I have had the blood patch done.  The guy that did my medicine for my last c-section, missed and made a hole so I had a spinal fluid leak.  The headache from that is something I will never forget and I never want to experience that again! 

My life is a bit boring right now, since everything I do is based on what my mom needs or what I need to correct, etc.  I do get some house stuff done, it's hit and miss, hopefully things will get better and I can have a real routine again! 

Not much else! Later my Friends!

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

We had a surprise visit early this morning from Jeff, Howard's former co-worker at the steel mill.  He brought his wife, Mary's delicious, signature, almond pastry  for us. YUM!   He said Mary mentioned yesterday that we were on her mind and she was going to make this for us.  . Not the first time, I might add.    
When Howard had his stroke almost 3 yrs. ago, Jeff called and told us they were going to bring us a meal.  Turned out they brought two full meals on 2 consecutive days. Both delicious.  Mary is a fabulous cook.  We are truly blessed and thankful.  

Theresa, this saga is truly unbelievable.  I hope hospice can get to the bottom of it.  In the meantime, I'm sure it keeps you on pins and needles wondering, what's next?    

Carol, what a wonderful trip this will be.  I'm so happy for you and amazed that you can do this all on your own, but then, I don't think it's the first time...going solo.  Take warm clothes and your long johns! It can be chilly in Scotland!    (You already know that!)

It's another lovely summer day, here, this morning.  We'll have to close up later when it gets hotter.  We have our Medicare yrly checkups tomorrow and Friday is our small group gathering.  I'm on for dessert.  Will make one I've made before for them with the notation that they liked it.  But I don't actually remember it ...from an old church cookbook...  I only make desserts that fit into my 60 yr. old 9 x 13 pan with a metal slide-in-place lid.   Easy to carry and easy to serve.

I received a post card-type brochure for Quilt Week in Grand Rapids, MI.  Don't know why I'm on their mailing list?  What surprised me is the admission charge is $15 daily.  Wow!  that seems like  a lot to me.  It must be spectacular.  It's on for 3 days, and would probably take 3 days to see it all, but still, $15 daily?  Oh well, I would not be going anyway.  Too far from here, can't walk, too old, TOO CHEAP!  
Indy

Good Morning to everyone!!  Congratulations to Quiltbea on losing the last pounds.  That's wonderful!!!!!  Just realized my top doesn't match my pants, so will have to go change that.  Always something that doesn't work.  Well, I have changed, much better!!

I can't seem to think of a thing to say this morning, so will sign off, wishing you all well, BJ.

Re: ODT SUNDAY AUGUST 3 ~ SAT AUGUST 9

Sandra, I’ve been gaining and losing the same 1.5 pounds for 2 weeks now. So annoying! 

I had PT this morning, then we went to the library. Now I’m in for the day. 

Judy, the last time I had the Medicare checkup, they asked me to draw a clock face. I was annoyed, so I drew a rectangle and in it put 12:00. Told them it was a digital clock face, I don’t do analog.
