MAE ALL...nice quiet DF day, actually had some time to work on the website.

Pi...I did know about Clint Malarchuk but have not heard the story. It's so sad when someone gets derailed like that. I believe our elected officials need to be held to a higher standard. Glad your getting a bit of relief with your weather.

Lav...oh no, more kittens. Yes, it is getting out of hand. Hope you find someone. Glad your son showed up for a visit, YB probably really needed the distraction. Is his pain any better? I love your new car and the colour is fabulous.

Slo...sounds like you had a nice day out and good on you for sharing your story. I know it always helped me to realize other people have struggled with alcohol and were able to deal with it. Toaster ovens have their use too. If the part isn't too expense for the oven you might enjoy it.

Mick...the top of my gladioli plant silhouetted against the fence That's hilarious. Did you take the picture anyways? I didn't buy the air fryer on the weekend but I'm getting closer to going for it. I'm sick and tired of cooking the same old thing. I'm thinking I can venture out to more imaginative meals. We've got a cold front coming through tonight bringing rain. Of course Wed will be steady rain because that's the day I have to go to the rheumatologist. I'll be driving my own car, son will take the new/old one to work. I will check it out this week sometime and start driving it to work if I feel it's ok. He will need to put new tires on it before winter hits.

TG...glad you had some down time today, sounds like you were pretty busy yesterday. Good luck with the nuclear test tomorrow.

Time to get dinner on. Meatballs and rice, I like it for my lunch leftovers. Have a good night all...PPQP

Good evening friends,

Dragging a bit today post vaccines which is unusual for me. Could also be due to the lack of decent sleep the past several nights, haha.
We had another sunny & pleasant day in the 70?s, nice

PQ, glad you enjoyed your DF day yesterday. It?s a shame you don?t have more of them
YB is still limping & moaning but went out for a haircut today. He likes the barber so that cheered him up a bit. The kitten situation around here is ridiculous. It will be two years in March since Luna showed up with her first litter so I?ve gone thru a ton of cat food LOL

Mick, that pink bird looks SO dangerous haha!! We get so many different animals walking thru here I think I?m getting used to them. Of course seeing a goat or fox on the deck took some getting used to, haha. Hope your rain goes somewhere else soon. We?re supposed to be getting a coastal storm this weekend so it will be soggy here too.
I sure hope your blood pressure has returned to normal after that sudden shock!!

Hello to Cyn, Slo, Pie & everyone checking in tonight. Have a nice night all!

MAE ALL...it was a steady busy day. Spent a lot of my time updating the website. Couldn't figure out why the number of Corporate Members in the newsletter were more than the ones on the website. Then I realized one business still hadn't sent me a profile so I just went onto their website and created it myself. Sent the link to the corporate member and she all of a sudden replied saying sorry for being so late with this and sent a whole different writeup. Geeze! That was a waste of time.

Mick...we got our rain today so thanks but I don't need any. I'm glad you said hygienist not dentist as I would be getting pretty worried about you and your teeth. How frustrating about the car insurance, that would never happen to me. There wouldn't be enough money in the bank account. LOL Ouch for Julie's tires, I bit the bullet and bought new for my car 2 winters ago. I'll not be paying for son to put new ones on the car if he expects me to drive it this winter.

Lav...the lag in posts appearing continues. You posted 30 minutes before me yesterday and I never saw it. I even checked back before going to bed as it's not like you not to post. This morning, there it was. Sorry YB is still having pain, hopefully they'll get it sorted soon. We're hoping to get the new Covid vaccine by the time they roll out the flu shots, sometime in October. I'll get those and hopefully the SVR vaccine. Not sure if I can do them all together. I have to wait 1/2 between my biologic injections before getting the shingles vaccine but don't want to put it off much longer. I don't know if I told you that my family doctor has left the practice as of October. That's too bad as I really liked her and my original family doctor isn't able to take on all her patients. Luckily I'm ok and my original family doctor will continue to see me. Hopefully I can get in before December when I need all my prescriptions renewed. I can't believe it's been 2 years since Luna showed up!

Shout out to the rest of the gang. Have a good night all...PPQP

Hiya all how are we doing?hopefully all is good with everyone.

Hiya ppqp how are you doing today?hopefully all is well yep the double payment bugged me it is sorted now. Ive noticed today that the date posts are not in order.glad you got your rain and didnt need this special stuff .



Hiya lav,blood pressure baCk to normal .the return of the missing funds has been rectified. I never slept last night, feeling really tired. Dont you kid yourself, the gladioli bird is very dangerous....glad yb is on form exercising his right to moan.have a good day

Hiya all..apologies its a short post i can hardly keep my eyes open ��

Greetings friends,

Nothing new with me but I have kept busy all day long. Our weather is still in nice mode but that will all change Saturday & Sunday. It’s not like I have any weekend plans or anything LOL my chickens have given me 1 egg today & yesterday - I say they’re not going going to be here too much longer.

Mick, glad your teeth cleaning was OK. I guess all of our hobbies cost a lot more these days. Not sure what else we can do though at this point.
Since I pay all my bills online I don’t keep too much extra in the checking account. Seems safer if it’s in the savings account but you never know.
I hope that gladioli bird din’t give you any grief today haha!

PQ, I guess they still need to work on our posts. Maybe they’ll figure it out one of these days.
It’s good that we can go to one of the larger chain pharmacies to get vaccines. here CVS, Walgreens & Rite Aid all offer them. Easier to get an appointment there than in a doctors office. Walgreens is willing to give up to 4 at a time but that sounds like a potential disaster in my book. You do need to be careful with your vaccines & biologic. Sorry people are wasting your precious time at work, grrr!

Hello to Cyn, Slo, Pie & everyone stopping by tonight.
Have a good night all & I hope we can all actually SLEEP!

TG posted this last night on last weeks thread. I have copied it here, hope you don't mind TG.

Quick post tonight? thanks for everyone?s news - Mick, glad to hear you are back safe and sound? hello to all else, sending everyone good tidings.
I had #2 stress test today (nuclear - with dyes,etc). There is definitely damage to my heart, so Friday they?ll do a ?cardiac cath?; minimally invasive technique to go in and take some pics and see what?s up. I?m sorry it has come to this, but I guess it?s better than having me keel over at work.
Telling my TJ managers was a little stressful - they weren?t too happy, as I was just trained in, and this is beginning the busiest time, but I assured them this was the best way to get to a ?fix? asap. It will be some days before I can lift boxes, though. And they won?t let me work my shifts these next few days. Oh well.

I?m going to try to not think about that whole situation? I just hate causing difficulties for others? normally my specialty is being ?the fixer?? oh well. Life goes on.

Long day, tired? sorry not to address each one of you - take care!!
TG

This was my reply TG...

TG...I don't know why your post appeared here, after Wags post on the 16th, but I'm glad I saw it.

So sorry to hear about the outcome of your stress test. A cardiac cath on Friday sounds scary to me, I'm glad you said it was minimally invasive. I'm sure telling the TJ managers was stressful and I hope they consider your health over their workplace. I hear you about causing difficulties for others as you are the fixer but now it's time to be selfish and just look after you. Do not think about that whole situation, just concentrate on you for now. Sending positive thoughts and lots of love ...PPQP

MAE ALL...all went well at the rheumatologist as far as my arthritis is concerned. She's not happy with a urine sample, increased white cells indicating blood, so had me do it again and they are still present. She will send a report to my new/old doctor and if I can't be seen within the month I'm to call her so she can set up a CT scan. Other than that I got into my appointment early so went to work earlier than expected and left at 3pm. LOL

Mick...$367 that's big bucks, no wonder it remains in the shop. Got to my Dr.'s appt today and forgot I had to pay for parking. It doesn't accept a debit card so phoned my son to transfer some money to my pay-as-you-go master card so I could pay for parking. I had only left him 20 minutes before that and do you think I could get an answer? So paid for 30 minutes, all that was left on my card, and hoped I wouldn't be delayed. I was 1/2 hr early for my appt., walked in, saw the doc, walked out in less than 30 minutes. LOL

Lav...are the chicken's on strike? Have they given you their demands yet? I was really confused when I read TG's post until I realized it was on the wrong thread. I had thought we'd lost a whole page of post but nope, here they are. LOL Our high today was 9C/48F with a cold north wind. It was overcast all day but just a few sprinkles. I consider this Winter's warning that it's on it's way. We can get our vaccines at the pharmacies here as well. Our pharmacist can actually prescribe drugs and fill certain prescriptions. That's come in handy for me a couple of times. I had a bunch of my articles cut from the newsletter, publisher considered them "ads". The boss was not impressed. LOL I knew I was pushing it with one of them but the others they published all last year. Boss sent an email to publisher so we'll see what happens.

Waves to everyone else, hope you're all doing ok. Have a good night all...PPQP

[Lavande]

Hey PQ, thanks for the heads up about Cyn I will message her & hopefully pass along our support. Thanks again.

[treegirl]

Hello all?
PPQ, you were so sweet to transfer my post!!! Thank you!!! Obviously I have no idea what day it is! Balancing your meds and biologic sounds quite complicated - glad you can handle it all. Glad the timing worked out with the parking!

Lav, I?m now in the right place I think? no need to write again to me, but thank you! Your sweet old chickens? one decided to give you a gift! Do you have any idea what to do about Luna? Is she impossible to trap? I guess so, if you haven?t been able to yet? good luck!

Busy day today doing the Homeless meals? then took all the plastics and cardboard to the recycling place. Next up was getting all passwords set up for the new medical places that will be dealing with me? I will be sharing all that with my brother, who is Power of Attorney for me. When I moved back to be closer to family, I never imagined that I would need help like this from them? my brother will take me to the procedure, as I must not drive afterwards. I?m grateful.

Mick, I haven?t looked at the pic yet, but will soon when I officially log on? curious as to what all this is about,,, of course you are tired from your trip! Try to take a break, eh?

Well, trying to look at all my legal and financial docs and make sure all is correct? this is a good time to revisit and double check.

Hello to SLO and Pie and anyone dropping by? wishing all well -
TG
