Good news about Bri's baby, mama...now, the drama can resume at it's ordinary level. :H

Pauly, I don't think those guys hurt my radiator...when I popped open the hood, I could see multitudinous critter chew marks on the hoses. I do wonder if they actually switched out the oil filter they charged me for, though...how could they not notice that blue, gooey, maple-syrup scented coating on so much of my car's innards?

Dottie, I'll go and see if I'm on the site...I haven't been getting much exercise in the last couple of days due to running my mom around the state. I am thinking that this fitbit must be busted or have some sort of short.

Have to run my car in...see you all later.

Hi All!

Boy my internet is slooooow today!

Fenny, funny you mentioned diatomaceous earth...that stuff comes from here. 2 weeks ago when we had that fire, they evacuated the huge factory plant as it was in danger! But all is well now. And speaking of local disasters, did you guys hear about the College shooting last weekend? Yeah, that's here too. Thank God I don't have any nephews going there...yet.

Kradle - THANK YOU so much for your kind words. I have known the husband of that pair longer than his wife has known him. We were dumb teenagers together. We briefly "dated". I think she views me as a threat to their already VERY shaky marriage. Whatever, I am over it. I'm sure HE would be a lot more forgiving than she is...but I'm sure she forbid him to respond.

Mama - Yum BeniHana! What did you have? Last night I had cheese stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon and a spinach/cream cheese stuffed portabello mushroom (well there goes the vegetarian/vegan thing). It was prepared already, all I had to do was stick it in the oven. Then I watched American Hustle...the night before was 12 Years A Slave :upset:

I better post this before my internet takes another poop. Be back later. Love you ALL!! :h

Just getting in the car for a four hour ride home. Zzzzzzzzz

Never been to "Benihana". Is it good?

Mama, safe travels.

Still waiting to hear from car guy. When car guy looked at the radiator, he said the chew marks were old, and they were actually on electric thingies. :H I'm so familiar with him since I bought the cabin, I feel like we're dating.

K9, sounds like that couple isn't going to make it. Maybe you can resume a friendship with the male half of the equation later.

Dottie, I hope you're hanging in there during this emotionally draining stuff. I am going to make some days to start going through the stuff in my mom's basement. She has scads of stuff that really needs to go. There are paths through the basement that weave in and around her piles of stuff.

Nora, I hope you are doing well today.

Fen, I had the same thought about K9's friends wife.....

Benihana is good, but it was overpriced and we have Teppan tables that just as good at home

Hi All,

Hey Nora, the race is in Williamson WV - Hatfield and McCoy half marathon. Apparently it's beautiful country and really looking forward to it. I ran the Charleston WV 15 miler two years ago and always had fond memories of the town from when I would travel through visiting family in Virginia.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week.

Meet with realtor and she pointed out things we need to fix. Just little things but this is likely to sell FHA so it would be things they would call out so fix first. We will work on that next week so hopefully get on the market soon. She brought comps and agreed on a selling price. I wont get rich from this but if dad needs the money for care it will be there. I will take a tax hit but so be it...
Rained here today and now it is a sauna out there..had to take an allergy pill today and they make me groggy and thirsty but at least I am not sneezing and digging my eyes out...love spring..

I just hit the couch and I'm beat. Had a busy day and made dinner for Cheryl tonight... she left early as she has blood tests in the a.m. Secretly pleased as I'm knackered...

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with everyone... it's been busy on the thread.

So I'll just talk about MEEE! :H Bill came back home Tuesday night... he's been very humble and realizes it's his last hurrah... so far so good. I've continued doing my own thing without inviting him and that's how it will be until I am SURE he won't embarrass me again. It looks like my full time employment is coming up soon. I think Mama knows about the Pharmacy debacle from a couple of years back (Jim and I have worked on various projects in the past) and now it looks like things are finally coming to fruition. I don't know if I mentioned I'm going to Charleston for the 4th of July? And I'm going to book a flight to Scotland to see Mum in August. September I'll be going in for a small operation and the Teeth Crapola continues... off to the endodontist tomorrow so he can check the re-do on the root canal, and dentist next week for crown work. I freakin HATE my teeth! :upset: I guess everybody has an Achilles Heel... my gnashers are mine.

What's everyone watching on Netflix? I'm needing a new show.

Hey all - my cable was installed. Everything is just flying along like it should! Amazing. Wish I had done this a year ago.

My Mom fell today. She has a big bruise on her forehead above her eye. My brother had taken my Uncle to pick up his new glasses and was gone for a few hours. When he came home, Mom had gone back to bed. She doesn't know if she passed out or tripped & fell. Doesn't even know what she hit. She said the fireplace but it would have been much worse if she had hit that. He called the Dr and they just told him what to watch for. Thank goodness that she didn't break any bones. Just scared me a lot. I doubt if she would even be able to call 911 if she needed to. I don't think she can remember how to dial the phone. :upset:

Anyway - things are ok. Hubby has been in bad pain for the past several days. Tonight he was just so irritable that I almost lost it. So, I'm in hiding. I'll probably go t bed early just so I don't have to deal with it.

Love & hugs to all. Sorry that I'm not even pretending to catch up with everyone. I'll do better!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your mum falling Nora. :l It's so difficult, them getting older. My mum told me today that her left foot is "crumbling"... :upset: She has osteoarthritis and her foot bones are becoming deformed. She is really pissed off with old age now, and there's nothing anyone can do about aging. It's the feeling of helplessness, for everyone concerned, them and us, that is hard I think.
