Coffee and.........May 30, Tuesday

Good Morning,

Let's have a cuppa and some sweets and chat a bit.

We came from over here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/608282/

Good Morning!

BBL...

Good Morning!! - would you believe I went to bed at 8:30 last night!! I was totally exhausted and every bone in my body hurt...slept good and feel 100% better today!! I have tons to do today - how can I be so busy every single day!! Our garden still isn't in....and now the ground needs working up again.

Oh drat, I had typed a long newsy post, hit a button and it disappeared- not a good way to start the day. I'm gonna sign off and take a garden walk and start the day over...

Morning all. Tackling the laundry monster, and heading outside to do some more way behind garden chores. It's supposed to rain, by noon, but I'm going to hang the sheets out anyway, and hope they dry fast.

The weekend surely passed us by in a hurry....we should hear from Mary about her ride soon. And Carat, you're right to hold off on the kitty, I've done the cross country with pets in the car and it's awfully hard on them. I think you are going to have your hands full anyway! Is your DD in her new apt. yet?

Elaine, you are fortunate your DH does the grilling...mine won't go near it! I am grateful for that....he's not much in the cooking department. In fact, he's not even good in the reheating or thawing categories!! Good that you had a nice visit with your friends. We had a nice time too. Another couple was there, one of my DIL's old friends and we enjoy her and her DH and their little girl...who is quite well behaved! We have a lot of mutual interests so it was a pleasant afternoon.

Hope we hear some good news from Darius in their search for a more agreeable lending arrangement. We've bought and sold houses several times over the years, and the paperwork is always a big PITA. The first time I applied for a mortgage as a single woman, in the early 80s you would have throught I was a leper...

Not only did I have a substantial down payment, I had a very good job, and 15+ years with my employer... and this guy wrote up the loan agreement to include extra mortgage insurance at 2%. He was working at a bank where I was friends with the president of the bank, I laughed at him, and said I could do better elsewhere, and then I tattled on him to the pres. and said he should hire more female loan officers. Actually, I think I was making more money than the guy was...maybe that was the problem...LOL Personally I think most bankers are right up there in the same category as used car salesmen, and fly-by-night home repairmen.

~~~~ to everyone, have caught up on all the threads, but I'm out of time. Weeds are calling my name.....

Sheila

'morning all - it's Tuesday! time to play with the plants... and catch up on the dirty dishes and vacuuming - nah, they can wait, the plants won't. lol I do have a follow up appt with the surgeon that did the endoscope and colonscope last week. He'll have the biopsy results and recommendation on time frame for surgery on the colon and hernia. I'm hoping to put it off till Sept. I hate to give up most of the growing season!

DS #2 was home for the weekend from grain bin construction in Decauter, IL. Leaving to go back in half an hour. I had Kayleigh overnight Sun. She is such a sweetheart! Kandyce is doing good, going to counseling every week. Coping well right now.

later all

This is my first time posting on this thread.
I thought this would be the proper place to ask this question.
How friendly are the people in your area?
I am a very friendly outgoing person and have decided to say Hello To every one that I meet.
I was out this morning and said Hi to two people that I saw, they returned the greeting.
I find that men are more friendly when greeting them.
( I might say that I like to talk LOL)


Shirley

I have been up for ages, but can't seem to get this body in gear today. Have some laundry going, and have sort of straightened the house.

M5, add lawyers to the group you just dissed!! Not a slimier bunch. Current scandal in Ky is 3 lawyers who sued the FenPhyn people on behalf of approximately 400 people, overpaid themselves by millions. Splashed over the front page this morning.

Kooger, glad you have a visit with DS, and hope your appointments go well, and you can plan the surgery for later in the year so you don't miss out on so much.

Sarv, drat on the lost post. Good idea, start the day over.

Molly, so what is on your plate today?

It's already hot here, so I don't know what I will be doing. Might just catch up on the housework until it cools off some.

I will be back later.

welcome sgtdot, people in my neighborhood are very friendly. If someone doesn't speak, watch out, they have their nose out of joint about something.

Welcome, come back anytime.

Hi Folks,

Welcome Shirley!

How friendly are people - Canadians are more reserved than Americans. I find that people out walking in the neighbourhood will say "Hello" as they pass, but that's about it to a stranger. Talk to the others in a bank line-up and you'll likely find that you are talking to yourself. OTOH, the Chamber Music Festival line-ups which go right round the block from the churches where the concerts are held are totally socia. Even if you don't know the people next to in line, you'll probably end up talking rather than reading the book you brought to entertain yourself.

Almost finished paste-up on my newsletter and then out to the printer. Whew!

BBL.

Ann

Morning everyone!

M5~ hehehe I'm slooow but I *finally* caught on. Just remember my puter reads things as words unless there are spaces in between, so every time I saw "PITA" ... I had no clue what it was. Finally went back and spelled as I thought it was peta. *smile*

Yes ... I am lucky to have a hubby who will grill. He does a fantastic job no matter what it is, too. The only problem is the clean up, but last night wasn't toooo bad. I stayed on top of most of it. And I must say ... he's good about helping with that too.

Darius, do keep us informed on what you find out today.

Kooger, so glad to hear Kandyce and the baby are doing so well. Am still praying all goes well with your surgery. Keep us informed on the dates.

Defoe, we definitely need to talk about those strawberries. They sound soooo good. I want to add that to my list of things next year. I just can't imagine how wonderful that would be to step outside and pick a bowl of fresh berries.

Hi sarv, didn't tell you how sorry I was about that horrid mess with the broken dishes and all. Did you finally get the DH to sweep it up or did you have to use the 4X8 afterall? Oh, and to lose *all* those fish!! The DH says the fun is in the catching. Is that true? *smile*

Well, better get my backside out of this chair. I've got Monday *and* Tuesday chores to do today. Will be playing catch up the rest of the week!!!

~Elaine~

Yesterday was a really nice day. I bought some white corn at Giant, on sale 12 for 1.99, couldnt beat that with a stick so I bout two dozen.
Was getting ready for a neighborhood bbq down the street and I just happend to look out front to see what my family was doing, DH and DD were washing the cars, DH was pointing out every dirty spot on the car to DD ( places she hadnt got to yet) and after her telling him to hush and leave her alone she ended up throwing her wet rag at him and hit him right upside the head, LOL. The look on his face was priceless and I walked away laughing so hard.
After the cars were cleaned my wonderful, fabulous, thoughtful DH for the first time ever started watering my plants, he got the front yard first and then to my utter amazement he watered the plants in the backyard and even on the deck, and my deck is loaded.

Went to the BBQ and had a great time eating, drinking, talking, laughing and watching the kids play in the pool. It was a great relaxing time well spent with friends who had been holed up in warm houses all winter.

A great start to the summer to come.

Now to try and catch up on the housework and more garden watching for blooms.

I must be a *really* slow typist today. While I was typing I missed you Shirley, Defoe and Ann!! Hi to all.
~~~Elaine

Good morning every oneit is a very hot one here, much toohot. Wanted to work in the garden but just managed to pull a few weeds and played with Samson and the water from the .hose he likes to chase.

Welcome, Shirley, tell us about yourself!
I have found Americans the most friendliest people I know, after all I married one, he was actually some what reserved but nothing like the way I was brought up. The Viennese are quite friendly but only with people they know well, we would not dream to complain or discuss about family members to anyone, nor dream of talking with some one we do not know. Now you probably wonder what we talked about when we met with friends?
We talked about mostly what is going on in Vianna, music and theater, politics, traveling, sports and board games such as chess we played quite often plus our studies and most of us were very competitive as to who knew more then any one else.
When I was small I was not allowed to speak to any one unless I was spoken to first and if I ever dreamed of interrupting an adult conversation I would get a licking after wards..

That was many years ago, perhaps parents have changed their way, I do no tknow.

Good morning. The rain has stopped, the sun is out and I actually see blue skies. Hope it sticks around for a while longer. Darned weeds thrive in the rain and I can't get out then to pull them. Sort of a one sided battle, but you betcha I'm going to get 'em today.

Immy graduates from her obedience class the day after tomorrow, then we can look for a more advanced class. Wanted to train Tinker as a Hearing Dog but the closest trainer is 80 miles away and way too far for me to go. DW would tell Mackie 'dinner's ready' and he would come and get me but Tinker hasn't caught on yet.

This June is a great one for the family. One neice gets her BS in Nursing, another her MFA in Drama, and her Mom a MA in Education.

Everything is starting flower. There are more Peonys in bloom than ever before and the Patty's Plum poppy has really grown. Sadly the 20 plus year old Veilchenblau rambler had to be removed to make room for the new focal point , but there are a couple other canes coming along so it will still be represented. DW has left for work so now I need to have a bowl of Cheerios, work Immy in the garage on her recall from a sit-stay, wheel 3 or 4 wheelbarrow loads of horribly heavy rocks out to the driveway and get to those pesky weeds.

Best to all, and to all a good day.

Welcome Shirley!! I have been lurking all weekend and posting on a couple of forums because..... I am flat on my back in middle of the kitchen floor for now with my feet in the chair bottom and my key board on a pillow, moving to living room floor soon...LOL it is softer!! I tried to be nice and helpful and remove the old swamp cooler from the roof and had no problems untill I got it to the edge of the roof and slowly lowering it over the edge and down the extension ladder when.....WOW it got real heavy!!!! and my back went pop and the old cooler went plop and here I am. LOL it wasn't that heavy till it got half way down....Sorry I can't respond to all but have read all, gotta go find something softer. I am reading everyones asventures and want a kitty too,,,,,so BIG ~~~~~'s to all and can someone toss me a couple of Aleve??? Hugs...Lauri

Oh lauriewilson, how horrible. I'll fuss first, "don't ya know that you shouldn't have done it"? Oh well, I have been injured before being helpful. Hope all clears up fast, and you are upright again. Let us know how you are!

maybe you shoulda just dropped it, but if your anything like me you have to prove to yourself you can do it even when you know your going to regret it later.

Maria, I was born in North Carolina, grew up in West Virginia and when I graduated in 1949 came to Maryland and have been here ever since.
I am 74 yrs young, have two children, a boy 56 and a daughter 52, also have two grand children, Caitlyn just graduated from high school last weel and will be going to the University of Pa. she wants to be a nurse, Grandson, J.D. will be 16 next month and just got his learners permit.
I am a retired Deputy Sheriff, have been retired for 20 yrs, I spent 30 odd years with the department .
My husband was a state trooper and my son a deputy sheriff.
I love working outside with my flowers and a few vegetables.

Ann----- I think being in the city is another reason for people being reserved. Sandy is cerntainly not a reaserved canadian. I know city people here are pretty reserved except in traffic where they are all aggression. Where I live we got it both ways. Mostly it depends on the day of the week. On weekend our little community swells to the size of a suburb. We call them summer people and for the most part we do not like to see them coming. There is also a awful lot of money in the area. Sometimes the very rich forget that it takes more than than brains and doing a good job to get ahead and make a lot of money. They tend to look down on others. As far as I go as a person I am not a bit reserved. I love to see people laugh and be relaxed and I work at both. I just do not like to be wronged are tolerate discrimination. I guess you might say I am a comic with a mean streak.

Welcome SgtDot (Shirley) happy to have you join us. Caitlyn is a beautiful girl, you must be very proud. Treats are on the counter, coffee's hot, tea bags in the cupboard, and all kinds of folks here to chat, commiserate, or chide. Like....what were you thinking, Laurie? I've gotten to the point where if DH asks me to lift or help move something heavy, I just give him "the look" and tell him to call someone stupid to help.

Spent most of the morning pulling out floppy artemesia from the side gardens, found a peonie and a couple of lilies and some short daisies trying to get to the light. If I knew when I put it in what I know now, I never would have put it in at all. Stuff has roots like wire, and spreads like a weed. Made breakfast, and went back out and a thunder boomer moved in so I'm taking a break and catching up. Looks like it will blow over soon, so no point in getting showered and then going back out again.

Sarv, I hope you left that broken crockery right where it landed...! What a mess. And it seems you never get it all, there always is some stray piece that shows up a month later.

Ann, that newletter is finally on it's way, and you can take a deep breath of relief. I find that folks in the rural areas are more friendly than the city people, around here. I'm a gabber so I often comment to people standing in line, or browsing through stores or rummage sales. Sometimes there is a friendly response, but often just a startled look, I grew up in smaller towns where everybody knows everybody else, and even now in our subdivision, people will wave but seldom stop for a word. Maybe they are envious, because our yard has flowers and shrubs and all they have is grass. LOL

Think I'll go stare out the window and wish the rain away.

Sheila

Welcome sg - sounds like you have law enforcement in your blood!! Pull up a chair- there's always some goodies on the table...Maria sets the most elegant table, but the rest of us don't do too bad either!!

People in this neck of the woods are very friendly - we talk to everyone - I find people fascinating and love hearing about their lives etc Life is too short to be stuckup...

Well, I've been a busy beaver so far today and I'm gonna tell you all what I did..Ironed three windows worth of curtains and got them back up, washed the insides of three windows, swept the deck, did dishes, two loads of laundry, vaccuumed family room and bedroom, completely cleaned the bathroom, and scrubbed one floor on my knees!! I'm quitting for the day....whew....

laurie - what in the world is a 'swamp cooler' - and why in the world were you on the roof??? good grief girl....be careful....

Darve-I'm sending my car down to DH- ours is a mess- DH is not a car washer and I just seem to put it on hold. I moved a ton of plants and the inside of my car looks as bad as the outside...

Maria- it has been beastly here too - Going from cool to this heat about does me in- too hot- too fast. I hate air conditioning and try to keep it turned off as long as I can. Just love hearing the birds etc from outside. And wouldn't you know it, our fans are in the second floor of the barn. Who in the world stuck them up there- three guesses.. lol

Going out for another garden walk - something new might have opened~~

Hi Oz, we posted at the same time. I'm with you, good sense of humor but don't get me PO'ed at you or you will pay ....! Did I ~~~~~ at everyone before? If not, ~~~~~ing now.
S.

Hello Shirley---- I am one of the few males that dares to come in here. I am also somewhat of a problem child.

Sarv---- These frequent garden walks. I hope your not eating the tender greens for breakfast out there.

Hi everyone. I've been home an hour, been greeted happily by all the cats, partly unloaded the trailer, and now need to hit the shower. Back after while to read and visit. ~~~ bye

sgtdot: hi welcome somone closer to my age nice.. Ozarkian,nice to be a comic but what did mean streak mean? Have a great day everyone..

Wisdom is, and starts with, the humility to accept the fact that you don't have all the right answers, and the courage to learn to ask the right questions.

The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.


Twyla

Afternoon everyone! I went back to bed around 10 and slept another hour and a half, got up, had a BLT and feel like I could take another nap.

My epi will probably open this evening... starting already! The bud went from the size of a dime May 19 to the size of an avocado pear (not the tiny Haas ones) today.

Thanks everyone for the welcome.
I just came in from mowing the lawn and boy is it hot outside.
When Caitlyn was a small child she would say hi to people and would not stop until they said hi in return.
She was also very against people smoking and would say to them "that is bad".

Dot, I meant to welcome you earlier... it just slipped my mind.

On the back roads where we are moving, one does not pass another vehicle with a small wave of acknowledgement, usually just a finger raised off the stering wheel. I'm assuming the people in town are friendly too. Heck, town doesn't even have parking meters and it's easy to find a spot.

Here in my sister's area, the population is mainly hispanic and they are so caught up in herding many children that I have no idea if friendly or not.

LOL the stupid friend that was going to help DH needed his help at his place to change out his semi truck beds due to him smashing his hand, so I was told that it isn't heavy just real akward and he could do it by himself when he got back. So I thought, LOL dangerous!!, I would help and surprise him...Well SURPRISE!!!
Sarv I grew up calling them swamp coolers but they are called evaporative coolers if you were to go buy one.... Gotta jump in the shower and get ready to go to chiro as my ride will be here soon........Lauri

Lauri, why was it on the roof? I thought they all worked by blowing air over a sheet of water, either in a window or a stand-alone unit in a room.

Whew I'm back! Haven't gotten that much accomplished today ... especially when I look at what all sarv has done. My goodness girl ... don't you know your suppose to rest after a vacation??? :)

Sgt~ so glad to have you at coffee! Just have a seat and a cuppa and rest after that hot job. LOL We have all sorts of things cold and hot to sip on. Now me ... I like my coffee no matter how hot it is outside. I always put on a fresh pot in the afternoon. We have plenty of tea drinkers here, though. :) My DH works for 911 and I do occasional typing for our local Sheriff's Dept and DA. Nothing regular by *any* means, but I enjoy it none the less.

oz, I don't consider you a mean sort. You have delightful stories and a marvelous sence of humor. I'll tell you something funny, though. Often times when I type your name I put ox instead of oz. hehehe

Mary~ so glad to see you back from your ride. Hope it was a fun filled one and your weather was good. It has been hot as blazes here!! Can't wait for your report.

Well, the laundry monster is trying to get the best of me today. Am ~~~ to those I've missed.

~Elaine~

In for a couple of orange slices (and NOT the good ones- the candy ones!!)

I have typed ox too...I think it means something... LOL No oz, I don't munch on my garden walks - just see all the beautiful stuff I have and the ton of weeds that seem to creep up overnight. (DH hid some peanut butter bars somewhere, so I've been on the lookout for them)

It continues to be hotter than blazes here - high humidity- which I hate!! I started mowing, but emptying the grass catcher about did me in. But I want to put the grass clippings around my brugs, so I will return to mowing in a sec.

IO1 - I did one more thing - blackened the stove - I was on a roll!!

Well, I"m off to do some more mowing!!

Well, I am back. I have had a very laid back day. This heat is sucking the energy right out of me. I started the day by going to the post office to mail off some trades, and to the bank to deposit the donations for cemetery upkeep that was collected this weekend. I started doing laundry, and in between switching from washer to dryer, managed to water everything on the deck, and weed one new bed. Short lunch break, and back outside with the intentions of weeding another one, but drat it was so hot, I came in and have piddled with house work.

lauriewilson, I understand swamp coolers. Here we have air conditioning.

Sarv, woman, slow down. You have put eveyone to shame today with all you have done. If that is what a vacation does, I sure hope that I am so revived by mine.

M5, isn't it fun to find things that you had planted and forgotten?

Oz, I haven't detected a mean bone in your body. Heck, if you can put up with ribbing from a bunch of gals, you certainly are a candidate for sainthood. I will certainly try to stay on your "good" side.

101, I laughed about PITA! What did you think it meant? Oh about the strawberries, I think that you should consider getting a pretty container and putting some on you patio. Probably wouldn't have any to freeze, but they are so good just off the vine. When I am picking I eat almost as many as I bring home. We are having strawberry shortcake again tonight.

Darius, did you see about alternative financing today? Sure hope you get that worked out.

sgtdot, you will have to promise not to have any of us arrested for our riotous behavior here. I will try to remember we have fuzz around now.

All we need now is a priest or preacher!!

Hi dravencat, drop by more often.

Hope, glad to see you not overwhelmed by the kids today.

Mary, can't wait to hear about your ride. Come back and tell us about it.

Well, gotta get ready to get something for supper. I will check in later.

Looks like the boomers have moved in for the duration. Wish we could have finished that side garden renovation before the rain came. DH says we've accomplished what he had planned for the first full day....it just took three days to do it. I said it's like every other job, remodeling, repairing or replacing, it always takes three times as long as you think and you always need a tool you don't have. We're going to put landscaper fabric down once it's all cleaned up, and maybe save ourselves some of this back breaking labor in the future. Should have done that four years ago, but we wanted to amend the clay soil....live and learn.

We all know Oz's bark is worse than his bite, he brings some fun when we get too serious and always has interesting stories to tell. And also, he is very brave! LOL One day he called us "old girls" or some such, and took his beating like a man!!

Sarv,did you find those chocolate covered oreos I hid? I can't find them and thought maybe you did while you were looking for the Peanut Butter bars. Still haven't found that package of Kona coffee I put in a safe place.

~~~bye, later.

Sheila

Looking up (so far) about financing, but have to do more paperwork. Should know by tomorrow, hopefully. The DiTech loan would be better as we can pay off everything including my sister's car. That will leave her income to only pay the utilities here, and the mortgages on this house. I'll pay the utilities on the new place. The DiTech appraiser comes at noon tomorrow.

Right now I'm making a reduced list of stuff I will need at the new place until my sister gets moved there too. I'll buy an inflatable bed once I'm there. The truck will be too crammed to fit in a lot on my list as it is.

Anyone have a used pair of snake proof booth that might fit me?

Sorry not to answer everyone... still feeling lousy.

Just had dinner and it tasted crappy - burritos - don't want them again for a long time...

Oh man, I have a problem... A very dear friend told me she wanted to make me a cross stitch picture of a teacher (she mentioned this years ago) Well today she emailed me that she finished it and is having it framed! Now I could care less for anything related to teaching now that I am retired. I plan on paying for the framing and the cost of any other materials, but do I need to get her something for all her work? I really just want to put the darn thing in the closet and never hang it! What a waste of money....Just thinking of all the $$ I will have to dish out for the darn thing makes me sick-just think of all the flowers I could have purchased!!

DH didn't quite finish mowing - it was lightning and thank goodness he used his head and came in. I'll finish it tomorrow. I made a list of what I hope to accompolish tomorrow - I don't know what is wrong with me!! It will be short lived - I am sure.

Darius-what is a 'snake proof booth'? bet you meant boots.....

M5- no oreos here - I checked the freezer where I keep them. I asked DH about the peanut butter bars- he said he took one for lunch, but couldn't remember where the rest are- sure - they are in his truck - I'm sure. I'm hiding the orange slices now....

Mary - how did the trip go?

The hot weather has broken here- the temp dropped 15 deg and it feels much better. I still need to hit the shower. My back is burned from wearing one of those skimpy tops! Not a pretty sight, but better than a bathing suit!!

Oh, it's Tues- chat....yahoo

LOL, Sarv... Yes I meant boots.

And Greetings to all. A little past morning here. We need rain soo bad. I drink coffe 24 hours a day and love it so I guess I can hang out here huh? Luvs to all, Corky

Hello again. I've been reading the daily posts between loads of laundry, and just came up for air. What a busy bunch you are.

I see some new faces, that's always fun. Some folks just post a couple of times and disappear, but we have collected quite a few regulars around the table. Hmmm, sort of like a family, we come and go and come back again a while later with some new surprise or problem.

I was thinking about DR on Memorial Day, I hope she and her family are coping with their loss and that she will be back with us soon.

Meezer is soon to be up to 4, and what a cute one she is. Sammi should be delighted to have a little friend to play with, and the older (and more dignified) cats will appreciate his attention being diverted away from them.

Somebody else is rescuing a kitten, good for you and good for the kitten. Let us see a picture soon.

Hope's little survivor kitty is so tiny, and when I saw his picture I thought that is just what our 15 pound Neutamus Maximus (Neut) must have looked like. That little fellow is going to be well socialized for sure.

Briefly here is the ride report. The first day I rode Breezy on a 60 mile loop that took us over desert plateaus and down into a deep canyon along the Snake River for a few miles, then back up about 1000 feet or maybe more, and over the plateaus to the base camp. There were about 40 riders and we finished in about 20th place, wet, cold and tired. Nasty weather started when we were about 15 miles into the ride and I was glad I had tied my rain jacket on to the saddle before leaving camp. Day 2 just had showers predicted, I rode Patch, took the rain coat and never put it on although we got into a couple of light showers. We finished warm and dry in 9th place. Day 3, better weather, the high temperature was about 80, I got sunburned and we made it 40 miles and Patch was lame, so we were done for the day. He will take a while to heal the pulled muscle in a rear leg, but I don't have another ride until June 17 and can use Breezy for that. In the evening we had a quick lightening storm go right over camp with loud thunder about 1 second behind the flashes, hard rain and some wind for 20 minutes, and then the sun came out again. This morning I pulled out of camp just as the sun was coming up after scraping a thick layer of ice off the windshield. Variety for sure.

Weeds are waiting and the stretching and bending will be good for me and I need to be doing something to keep from being sleepy. See you later, or tomorrow.

Thump thump thump
that's my heart beating. LOL I was looking around in my flower pots checking to see who needed water and petted a frog!! Whew, don't know who was more surprised him or me!!! They say you're suppose to get your heart rate up ... well, I did ... ran about 5 miles while standing in place. LOL LOL

Corky~ so glad to see you. It's nice to have another confirmed coffee drinker in the group. Mon on in, pull up a chair and tell us a little bit about yourself. :)

Mary, what a ride! You certainly had a range of weather. That's dedication for sure! :) Hope Patches recovers without incident.

sarv, I had a friend make me an afgan one time that I *really* didn't want. Now for those of you who do needle work ... I really admire it and do love it, but I think this was left over yarn as it's just a horrid color pink, but I don't want to get rid of it for fear of hurting her feelings. :-(

Well, the DH is grilling again, so better get off the puter and go help. :)

~Elaine~

Edited to add

Lauri ... I'm so sorry I haven't mentioned your accident today. Please do be careful! Hope you feel better after your appointment tomorrow.
