Good morning sistahs and nieces. Another day and life goes on.
Coffee is ready. Hope you all don't mind Community Dark Roast. Nope, no chicory added, just regular dark roast. Sometimes it's hard for me to drop that good Louisiana coffee!
Wheat toasts, orange marmalade and crispy bacon. Sorry, don't have time to prep eggs.

Murdock's in cheerful spirits last night. He leaves everything in God's Hands, and accepted His will.
Last night, a DGer dmailed me saying we are wont to pray for our loved ones OUT of heaven, but His will is what we should pray for.
She is so right.
Yep, we are selfish aren't we, wanting to hold on to our loved ones a little longer. But I'm not giving up, as this man still has so much to offer in this life.

This morning, they'll do a "Bronchoscopy", where a bronchoscope with a tool at the end, will be inserted through his nose, and that tool will remove some tissues. Doc said that the tumor is a large mass.
Apparently, this has formed over the last 2 years, as he had a pt scan done 3 years ago on his lungs, and they were clear.

A little bit about "Dock" (That's what his great nephews call him).
He's 68. Had a stroke 4 years ago. He has limited mobility.
His past was quite colorful. He was caught 'moonshining' and spent a year in jail in the late 50's. Imagine, decades later, he became a deacon. Miracles happen!
Unfortunately he didn't quit smoking until 5 years ago.
Not nagging here. Quit for your health.

This is him.. so you all will know who you'll be praying for.
He thank you for being so willing to pray for a stranger... and all the hugs. He got this big grin on his face after that.
Let me say something else about him.. ehem.. he is also a big flirt! Of the harmless kind!!!!

Well ladies.. time for us to make a move. Will be at the hospital this morning and hope to return for lunch.
So, have a good day.. and I'll carry your love in my heart.

Thanks for the new thread Jaye. I was just about to ask. I have dial up and it does get tedious.

Cindy the passifloras I don't think are hardy here, but the big problem for me is that I live in the woods and only have a limited area that gets part sun.

Synda I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago. I guess I am lucky because besides the depression aspect, I pretty much am able to work through the pain. Made my mind up a long time ago that I wasn't giving in to it. I will admit some days are a lot tougher than others. Doing manual labor is starting to take it's toll. The depression part is really bad now since I am, going through menopause. Kind of a double whammy. Good luck with the surgery.

Someone asked (sorry I can't remember who) where I was a nurse. I mostly worked in Dr.'s offices for orthopaedic surgeons and ophthalmic surgeons. Only practiced for about 10 or 12 years I guess. Then I woke up one morning and realized I really didn't like people that much so I gave it up. LOL!!

Have a great day everyone. I have a planting job to do today and some mowing. I really need a break from the rain, Getting farther behind everyday.

Hugs,
Juanita

Jaye ,he looks like a vibrant and handsome man and I like to flirt to ,in a good way.........Yes ,we the living are selfish,it is human nature,but for good reason.It is hard to give up a wonderful thing.And it is Gods will,I believe that the day we are born God already knows how long we will be here on this beautiful earth.And how we choose to live our lives off of that main Holy Road will make a big difference in how we run into his arms.We are all given a purpose and when our purpose is fulfilled ,our deed is done.I learn that a while after my son passed.I questioned what was the purpose of a baby only living 23 1/2 months.But after my head cleared,years later ,and could look and see what he had accomplished in his short life ,I seen why and was grateful that he had been born and why he died and was grateful for that also.Me, as a teen ,was headed on a very bad road and his birth stopped me dead in my tracks and I learned to apprecaite what I had been given (my family that did love me).And after that God gave me back my teenage childhood so that I could go on living and to do what I was put on this earth for.And even through a sickness or a death we may be serving a purpose for someone else to learn,so they can see.But Murdock could very will have many more years,my uncle Terry had Lung Cancer for many years,and doctored a lot,but lived a good full life even after he was diagnosed.Will continue to Pray and hold all of you in my heart for the rest of my life,even if our hands never touch, our hearts and souls has.DG has brought all of us together for a reason,we just don't know what that very reason is yet,and I'm sure it is Grand!

And never forget ,even if something seems really bad,there is at least one good thing in it,we just have to look.If I didn't believe that I would have chose to stop long ago.

Oh Juanita,send me the rain................Please.We have had 1 good rain in 6 weeks.Love the sunshine,but my pretties need a drink!!!!!!!

Morning everyone. Jaye thanks for the breakfast, and the update on "Dock". Glad to hear he is in good spirits, and ready to accept "His will". We will continue prayers for HIM to do HIS will!
BJ, did you and Phyllis get stuck in the sewing room?

Synda, what kind of diet pills are you on, that the State says you can only take it for 3 months? I have never heard that before either? I have been begging my Dr. for a diet pill for years, and they keep telling me, there are no safe pills out there. They are too dangerous to take!

Hope you all have a great day. If you have storms in your area, please be careful.

LK

Synda your message is beautiful We all have so many questions that we think are unanswered. But they truly aren't. We just don't see the answer yet. Thank you for the insight....

I take Generic name...Phentermine 37.5 MG,name brand Adapex-P.It's the funniest thing,it seems to give me energy ,but doesn't make my heart race.When I normally work or sometimes just walk without them my heart will beat so hard and with them it don't.Yes in the state of Ohio you are only allow to be perscribed diet pills for 3 months and then you have to be off 6 months.

BB later,going to get a few things done............All have a beautiful day!

Jaye my T&P are with you too. I have everyone's loved ones in my thoughts and prayers as well.

HELP !!! Phyllis chained me to the sewing machine... she said it's the only way this upholstery is going to get done... we've spent way too much time visiting, playing on the lake...

Oops... here she comes with the whip...

Morning girls.....have you seen BJ??....*looking behind the couch and under the sink*......we have seats to get redone and she has run off with Millie some place
Heck have to get the pictures taken yet too but have to get at least 2 seats done so she will know what to do for the rest LOL

You better watch BJ.....This will be you !!!!!!!!!!

Or worse yet.............

Oh you two are something else. Gabbing, and playing. You need to get your work done! LOL
Anxiously waiting for Bj's posed pictures of her and the red hot chili pepper? And the boat seats!

LK

DARN... she found me and Millie... sheesh.
Guess I better get busy before she cracks that whip again... she really scares me !!!

And, Don's no help... I think they've conspired together to keep me on task...

Good morning everyone -

I do hope everyone is doing better today. Prayers and hugs to all, of course.

It is 76* this morning, but the humidity is up. I didn't get up early. I slept in until 8:30, and had breakfast with my DH before I went outside. I worked about an hour and a half. Purple. Hot. Came into the a/c.

Juanita - that was me who asked about nursing. I got such a chuckle out of "I really didn't like people that much" Nursing does have its ups and downs. I liked it, for the most part. I hurt my back moving a patient, and that was the end of my career. Turned out it was God's plan, though. I really needed to be home full time with my son, Mike.

Synda - I'm glad the meds are working for you. Heating pads and Icey Hot help too.

Mike just got up. We are going to the garden center to buy some coleus. I put a real pretty one out earlier, but the late frost got it. Then to the health food store to pick up a red pepper which I forgot yesterday, and healthy junk food.

Needless to say, by the time we get back it will be lunchtime, followed by a nap. I guess I'll do laundry this afternoon...

Catch ya' all later.

OK got her and it is back to the grind...no more runnin off again till we have at least one seat done

Thank you for the message, Synda.
((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))))

Looks like BJ is not going to finish her seats if Millie hangs around!

The doctor didn't take a tissue sample, but just a swab, as he was afraid cutting into the tumor might result in dangerous bleeding. The prognosis is not good right now, till we learn something else.

Don't know what's next.... Barb, any advice?

Sorry Trisha, looks like Cedric isn't packed yet :D


Gonna get a few bites, run errands.. water the plants.. cya later everyone.

Hello Ladies,
Took bandages off Mom's eye, she says her eye is itching. We will be going for follow up in about an hour. Went to the Curves here. OMG!!! A bunch of gabby women, they did more talking than working out, lol. None of them broke a sweat. There were a couple of them that I was thinking why even bother, lol. Oh well I'm there for me not to listen to them. And only 1 lady said hi and introduced herself. I'm really going to miss the Marysville Curves :(

It's nice and cool today so i will finish working in the garden I have 9 Brugs that need to go into bigger pots. Plus getting other things done before we leave for Oregon on the 17th. I'm so looking forward to this trip. We will be doing alot of fishing and camping the week of the 22 to the 26. Will be going to an Indian reservation for a Pow Wow on the 4th of July.

Well, gotta get changed to take Mom to doc. BBL

waving hello! been hanging out at continuing ed courses for the last six days. was going to drop my R/E license, then realized I'd need to list mom and dad's house this year. so I couldn't give it up. Drat! so still haven't read much.

what'd I miss?

Just a quick scan we are headed to the hospital to visit Bill mom......

Thanks for the breakfast and the update Jaye....will continue our prayers.....
Don't worry about Cedric right now....you have far more important things to deal with and I know he is safe with you and Kel.

Phyllis and BJ you are having too much fun......BJ mom always said get the unpleasant things done quickly then you can have fun and not have to worry.....

Got to run...waving to all I missed

Trisha, sounds like Randall. As a kid, he watched his older sister procrastinate on, then get in trouble for, not doing the evening dishes over and over again. every other night it was his turn. he paid attention. He'd get the dishes done and be out playing and having fun in no time.

Jaye I am so sorry hun! Praying for a good prognosis even though it doesn't look good right now.

I didn't have anyone to share the chores with, plus my mom would tell me when they were going to get done. She pretty much did the dishes and cook and all that, but if I was out playing and she had clothes to fold I had to come in and fold them, then usually dusting, vacuuming, and everything else came after. It was alright I guess, taught me discipline but I don't think I would have done it that way with my child. Too each his own I guess, whatever works!

Prayers for everyone

OK Now Who's Got BJ Hiding her??????
She run away with Millie so Kristi and Mike and I are goin out on the Jet skis to find them and we wont be back till we find them sooo if I dont return it is because she ran sooo far away

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not the jet ski's!
Well, Ok, you have been working hard, so I guess a short break is in order.

OK, time is up, now get back to work! LOL

LK

Jet Skis! I need to learn how to ride one I guess. Don't know why, we never do anything like that and don't have a place to store it/them if we got one/two.

LOL Time is up to go back to bed, I have worked myself into sleepiness and need Starbucks with about 10 shots in it.

Well, yep... the jet skis are gone, along with the search crew...
HEHEHE... I was hiding out in the shop till they left... sheesh, Phyllis is a slave driver...

We actually have gotten the back of one seat complete... it's not perfect... but it is complete. I don't know what I'll do when she leaves... it pretty much has taken the 2 of us to hold it all together while it's stapled... Guess I'm going to have to get Mike to learn how to help me.

Now... to see if I can get a few stitches on the bottom of the seat done before they come back... maybe.

You can do it BJ!

^_^ now have this image in my head of Phyllis in a dominatrix costume, complete with whips......

ROTFLMAO!!! SO funny!

LK

AHH HAA I found them..NOW BACK TO WORK......

of course 2 hours on the jet skis with Kristi and mike I will probably feel it later LOL

Bon this should take care of any image you have in your head...ROFL

I don't know you yet Phyllis, but I'm betting you look like that in your dreams. Wish I did anyway. :0).Maybe I need another Mai Tai......

Juanita

Okay, who has a Pic of Phyllis and Photo Shop!?!?!?!

http://ladies-of-the-heart.org/Phyllis/family.html

ther have a look at this and then tell me if I look close to her LOL

Yep you do!! Gorgeous. Great family photos. Now I know who Phyllis is.. Thanks!

Juanita

Jaye, I wish I could give you some advice. Norm's spot on his lung was only the size of a marble. Did you say your FIL's was bigger? We had a wonderful surgeon that was recommended by our oncologist. She is truly gifted. I would suggest you ask for test results and base the next step from that. The one thing Norm and I both agree upon is that the sooner it comes out the better. It spreads into the lymph nodes very quickly if it isn't removed. How much of the lung that gets removed depends on how big it is and what the pathologist finds. We were very lucky to have caught this as quick as we did. I can't say enough for PET scans. Please keep me posted and know that you ALL have our prayers. Hugs, Barb

Yep.......Phyllis I can picture you like that........!!!!!!!!! ooooooolala

Sending prayers and hugs for Dock, the family and of course Jaye and Kel. I will be here until Thursday as things didn't go as planned today. Mom had a reaction to the PET dye and is in the hospital. The entire story another time as I am pooped tonight.

Extremely hot and humid here but thank goodness for the late afternoon showers.

Miss you ladies much!!

Oh Marion, so sorry to hear about your Mom. I do hope she is doing OK! We will be sending out lots of prayers and thoughts tonight, for all those in need.

BJ, we need a status report on the cushions please?

Good night everyone.

LK

LOL... LK... you crackin the whip too?... hehehe
We did not do not one other thing on the cushions this evening after dinner... I'm pooped... I even fell asleep in that hard ole' wooden deck chair out back...
Phyllis has had her shower and reports that it sure felt good.
So, now I'm off to take about 10# of grunge off of me, so I can remember what it feels like to be human.

These two teenagers are suppose to be cleaning the dinner dishes... but it sounds like they're up to more than that... so I better go check it out.

Probably won't be back tonight... so, I'll see you all tomorrow... maybe.

Jaye's FIL... Cindy's mom... Barb's DH... and all the rest who needs prayers... will do just that after my shower... love you all.
