Thank you so much for all your support.
Barb, you must be from the old school where a man's reputation hangs on to his word.
That's Kel for you.
I wish you good luck on finding a smaller and cheaper home.
Sue, be proud that you gave Gigi unconditional love. Sorry that you faced her mental issues, but at least she's not narcissistic.
MIL can compete very easily with any Real Housewives when it comes to Botox!! :D
I won't go on with her craziness Sue. Gigi was normal compared to MIL. MIL refused meds or therapy.
Betty, did you meet up with Marion?
You can keep the snow sistah! It's a nice low 50s here and the cats are enjoying themselves.
Watched bowl games that I had DVRd. Being lazy, letting my mind wander to nothingness for a few hours!!
Time to bathe some kitties before Kel leaves for work. That's oh so fun.. :))
@SWEET INTERRUPTIONS@# 252
I don't know of too many kitties that enjoy a bath!
They hate baths, LK, you're right! Besides looking like litte rats, they'll keep on hissing and fighting!! Only Muffin doesn't go too crazy in warm suds.
It's Kel and me bonding time! LOL!
No Jaye, once again it wasn't in the cards
It's me poking my head up out of the ah, ah, ah well just poking me head up. Will write more later as I need to go finish up dinner. Rainy, damp, dreary and cold here right now so a huge pot of soup waiting to have some barley.
Perhaps another time, Betty.
We're aware of Marion's predicament with her leg, and Kim being sick too.
I know that when you two do meet, none can get a word in, edgewise!
Long life Marion, we cross posted!!
Give me some of that soup. Just had some frozen low fat lasagna :(
Hey Marion, glad to hear your back home, take care of that knee!
Jaye, wish you were closer as it is/was one huge pot of soup. Tasty if I might say so myself. That or we both were ready for a pot of homemade soup.
Kim is back to work and truthfully, I think she was ready to do so. She starts getting "antsy" after a while. I am really going to miss her as she took a thousand steps for me so I could rest this knee. It is doing better but still not healed or to the point it doesn't hurt. Just doing things slowly and doing what I can.
Hope everyone has a great day. I am going to start cleaning up the decorations from Christmas.......notice the word "start".
Good morning sistahs!
Of course you're tired Sue.. you have 10 X the amount of activities of a normal housewife! Learn to say no to some things sistah. Don't want you to crash and burn. Delegate if you must.. maybe you could teach the twins to help you with light house chores.
Marion, if I were to live closer, I'd certainly be helping you out. I doubt we'd get things done.. but I'd be sure to give Kim some relief!
Keep being good to your knee. Can you wear a knee brace?
LK, what's the latest on your dad, sistah?
Got to return to the sewing machine today.. maybe.. (See Sue, it's easy for me :D )
Kel will be bringing his dad to the Cancer Center today.. the first of 3 consecutive treatments. Murdock can use some prayers.
See you all later.
Sending lots of prayers for Murdock!
Sue, sounds like your working too hard, time to take a break!
Marion, take it easy on that knee. If your not using a cane, try to keep it wrapped with an ace bandage, or some sort of brace to help keep it stabilized.
I talked with Dad on Google talk last night, he looked really tired. The pain in his toe from the sore is almost unbearable. He is on Vicodin but it is not touching the pain. He is looking forward to surgery on Friday, and we are all praying the new artery will help heal things up. I don't know if my Sister has told him how dangerous the surgery is for him, but we are all praying he will stay strong, and make it through surgery.
I will not travel home to see him, even if things go wrong, I said my good byes to dad when I was home a few months ago. I would like to remember him as he was when I saw him.
My Sister and us kids have been going in circles about Dads last wishes. Dad has always said he wishes to be cremated, then placed in the ground next to Mom at the cemetery. My Sister does not believe in cremation, and she wants to have a regular funeral for him. All of us kids have told her that if he does not accept his wishes, then she can bury him by herself, as we will not be there, nor support with money! I know this sounds cold, but it is what I feel is right.
LK can so relate to what you are dealing with now regarding your dads wishes. I got tons of grief from my step MIL because Ross was cremated. My mom was also upset but it was what he wanted so it was done. Thankfully both children knew so were very supportive of the decision.
Jaye, if you were here we both would be in trouble......well maybe not! We could sit and sew!!!!!!!!!
LK, no cane, no brace but am using the ice packs. I have 2 flights of stairs and the doc said they would be more trouble than good. Go figure. I do limit the number of trips up and down though.
Just make sure there are no more whoop de doo's on those steps!
I've told Kel I wished to be cremated as I won't need my old body when I get to Heaven. Jesus had guaranteed us a whole and perfect new body there!
As for the ashes, he'd be inheriting it!
Your sister should respect your dad's wish, LK. Your protest is valid.
Marion, you might have to invest in one of those stair lifts. Your kids could give you that as your birthday and Christmas.
That will prevent any future hijinks from you!

ROFLOL, don't think they will do that Jaye. To think all this trouble because I miss one lousy step.....and the last one at that. What would I be dealing with had I have fallen from the top down? Yikes.
Good Afternoon Ladies,
Had a good time with my GFs. Our dinner get togethers are always a LAUGHING blast. There is one gal, it never fails she's got to start talking about sex or men's you know what. But anyway the things she comes up with OMG!!!! We got to laughing so hard I thought Sheri was going to pass out, and Jenny and I had tears running, lol.
Saturday afternoon Sheri was gone and I was laying down cuz my thumb got to hurting real bad. She had texted me and ask me to check turkey to see if it was still good to make soup. She has hardwood floors, and has this runner in the hall way. As I came out of the bedroom I stepped on the runner and it slipped with me and down I went!!! I didn't have my splint on my hand, and I landed on my left side, but never hit my hand, THANK the LORD!!! but I did hit my right foot and elbow into corner of wall. All I ended up with is a tiny bruise on my elbow. But boy it sure knocked the wind out of me, lol. Sheri's dog stood there looking at me like "Why are you laying on the floor"? lol
Finally got hearing aid insurance straightened out...$150 per ear not $340 whoo hooo. So now I have to fax hearing test and they will make one to fit my hearing loss which is severe.
Also will be getting CapTel800 phone on Wed, yay. So as soon as I get the number I will send it to you gals and you can call me, will be nice to talk with you all sometime.
Sheri is having surgery done tomorrow to remove scar tissue and realine her jaw. So I am going up Wed (after phone guy leaves) and staying with her until her boyfriend arrives on Friday. She has to stay laid down for 5 days. Gonna take LOTS of warm clothes her big ole house is like an ice box, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Glad to hear you had a good time Cindy! And good news on the insurance for your hearing aids! what is the phone your talking about, we call you and it sends out text you can read?
It's called a CapTel800, I will have to give you the 1 800-# to call, then you will tell them my # 743-1606 (write this down, lol) then you talk on your phone as you do ppl with good hearing and the automated thingie sends text to my phone then I talk right back to you. Don't know how it will work when I want to call out, hmmmmm they didn't tell me that part, lol. Oh well I'll find out Wed.
Sounds like tou will be able to talk on the phone again! Can't wait to give it a try.
LOL me too ^_^
Now trying to find out if it will work so that my brother can call me. I have a real hard time hearing him cuz their phones are crappy
Cindy - here's a link I found about Captel800
http://www.captel.com/how-it-works-800.php
It sounds as though we simply call you directly, and it forwards to the 800# operator who then texts to you..........
And the same when you call directly to whomever you want to talk to. It also goes through the 800# without you dialling it.....
Anyway, that's what it looks like to me.
Thanks for the info Susan,
Yes people calling me have to call the toll free captioning serving, then enter my number in order for me to receive caption on my end. If they don't dial the toll free number I won't get the closed caption.
CAN Y'ALL SREAM ROLL TIDE! WE WON THE NATIONALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL forgot to say..Good Morning Ladies,
LK I have been meaning to tell you............keep bugging those companies about the Monster High doll
Not only did Mattel send me a voucher, but the company I orderd the doll thru is sending me another one without me having to send this one back.
I had sent them a message asking for a return authorization number, I got an email back saying
I could send this one back for credit, then order a new one at a higher price but they would give me $2.70 off and a 10% discount. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I told them "NO, I just want to exchange this one!!!!" Then told them how this was at the top of my grand daughter's Christmas list and how disappointed she was when she opened the box. So yesterday I got a phone call from meijer.com (company I ordered thru) and they are sending another doll with EVERYTHING in the package (said they checked to make sure) and I would be getting it in 4 -7 days
So see you just have to keep bugging them, lol
I'll be back later this evening to catch up on convo, if Kel do not take over the pc as he did last night.. plus watching Sis Tides roll over Notre Dame.
Geaux Reauxl Tides.. Geaux SEC.. 7 straight BCS wins!!
Sis Carolyn is picking me up for a girl's day in a few minutes!
Hey Cindy.. Sue... Susan.. Maid M... Thunder.. Cookie.. Betty..
Have a good day!! You too Linda Kay.. don't you fret too much!
Thanks for the info Cindy! I will keep bugging them!
ROLL TIDE!
Have a good day with Carolyn Jaye!
Just waiting patiently for Taynors to get here. ^_^ I've got a super busy day! Hope you're all feeling fine!
ROLL TIDE!!!
I do believe it is no longer Roll Tide but THE TIDE ROLLED!!!!
An elderly couple is enjoying a 50 year anniversary dinner together in a small tavern. The husband leans over and asks his wife, “Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years a go? We went behind this tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you.”
“Yes,” she says, “I remember it well.”
“Ok,” he says, “How about taking a stroll round there again and we can do it for old time’s sake.”
“Oooooooh Charlie, you devil, that sounds like a good idea.”
There’s a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, “I’ve got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I’ll just keep an eye on them so there’s no trouble.”
So he follows them. They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. They finally get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her knickers down and the old man drops his trousers. She turns around and as she hangs on to the fence, the old man moves in.
Suddenly, they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen. They are bucking and jumping like eighteen-year-olds. This goes on for about forty minutes. She’s yelling, “Ohhh, God!” He’s hanging on to her hips for dear life. This is the most athletic sex imaginable. Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground. The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn’t know.
After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The Policeman, still watching, thinks that was truly amazing. He was going like a train. I’ve got to ask him what his secret is.
As the couple passes, he says to them, “That was something else. You must have been having sex for about forty minutes. How do you manage it? You must have had a fantastic life together. Is there some sort of secret?”
The old man says, “Fifty years ago that wasn’t an electric fence!”
ROFLMAO Cindy on the joke
wow on the art. that is some powerful emotions going on in the art.
Tide Rolled wooohooo congrats to the winning team.
saw cookie today, great time too. great lunch ! i ate sushi with crab and not crab with a K ! woohoooo.
got a new ring . i returned a necklace i got from tim . he tried but ???? yep i m picky.
Love that joke Cindy!
Love that art work too.
Sounds like you had a good time Sue! What kind of ring did you get?
lol on the joke - gotta tell Bob lol
Great art work!! yes, obviously high emotional background on it..........
So great you had a good time with Cookie, Sue
Just got back.. taking a few mins. to tell my Christmas Swap buddy that I got her box.
Cindy that drawing is amazing but the joke is a HOT!!! Lol!
Show us the ring SUe.. pretty please.
Sis Kathy.. Kel has been 'collecting' his winnings!! He had bet that 'Bama put up 40 points with his workers. Should be my money, as it was my guess!!
Now, I have to hand this pc over to Kel as promised.
Will take it over from him when he's snoring!!
Not neglecting anyone... talk back at you later!
jaye your good, cause i thought it would be a low scoring close game. guess those fighting irish aren;t as lucky as they thought they were. did you hear thier coach at half time telling reorters the only way they would win is if saban didn;t bring the team back for the second half
Oh yes sis Kathy. I haven't erase the game!! Will be watching the highlights again! We laughed when Notre L ame's coach said the only way they'd win if Bama didn't come out!!
Did you catch their 'superstar' Mateo's mistake? At the post game conference, he said he's glad to be in the Orange Bowl!! Lolo!!! Doesn't he realise it's the BCS BOWL?? Miami plays house to the Orange Bowl, yes..... but they're playing the BIG Boys' bowl now!! Hey Mateo.. that's what you do in football.. you aim for the BIG BCS BOWL.. and you better be good cause college football is BETTER in the South!!
Right, Marion?
Errr Sue, even Urban Meyer acknowledged that he'd have a hard time recruiting as the South is full of talent.
When ESPN ranked Ohio @ # 3 this year.. one could see Meyer cringed. He got to deliver against his old Florida and arch enemy 'Bama!!
I am so glad that Johnny Manziel was given the Heismann and not Mateo!! Mateo do NOT deserve the other 8 trophies he got from those sport writers!! He tackled like a gurl! Man, if you want to tackle, don't grab for the legs.... these big boys will just run all over you!!!!! And they did.. especially Lacy!!
Sorry.. that's my release for today. Thank you Sis for bringing that up. It's been a downer for me today.
I had a very good time at Sis Carolyn. Helped her with her yoyo quilt, chatted like 2 schoolgirls... gossiped on MIL of course. She's related to MIL btw and knew her very well.. so it's easier to just air out things!
Plus, it was good to dine with a girl you love.
Kel is .. oh well.. a man with a superman psyche. Thank you all for your prayers.. he's coping.
But Murdock is going downhill this second time around. I hope his strength will improve.
Love you my sisters. Am leaving the house for a few just to see what the thrift stores have. May need to get a few sheets for the cats' beddings.
Have a wonderful Humpday.. and it's power prayer night!
