Where is Marylee? I havent seen or heard from her since the CSRU. Has anyone seen or heard from her.
Sylvia
Silverfluter??????
I checked and as far as I can find she hasn't posted since early June. I've wondered myself why she hasn't posted in a while. Have you tried d-mailing her?
I talked by dmail with her in late June to come pick up some plants while I was staying over that way--she wasn't able to be home when I was there--and I haven't heard anything from here since.
No Linda I didnt Dmail her, but I will try that. just kinda bothers me since she has been so active in the past.
I haven't spoken with her since late June as well....I remember that they have a furniture business and go to craft shows....if so, that can take up a lot of time. My family used to go to craft shows and at that time, we didn't do much else. I do hope all is well with her and her family.

Did anyone hear from Marylee?
I DMAILED HER AND GOT NO RESPONSE!
Oh! Does anyone have her phone number or her email? It's possible her computer crashed or something like that.
They have a spot in this gallery. She did a presentation last month and is scheduled to do one this month.

Well if I had known... I could have dropped by there. I was there on Sat. I went to the wildseed farm to pick up my annual wildseeds to plant.
So Pat you have seen them? so they are ok... good... they are probaly busy.
Thanks Pat
No, I have not seen Mary Lee or talked to her, but I googled "Tom, Mary Lee, Fredericksburg, furniture" and found their business website. There is on that site a schedule of special events that has her listed for a presentation on October 24. She used to post quite a bit, so I have been concerned as well.

Hi ya'll. Thanks for your concern. I have had some health issues to deal with, but I think maybe they are settled for awhile. I have very frequent bladder infections and also acid reflux (or so the doc says). I just went to a urologist and he told me I'm going to live to be an old lady. Hmmmm. Not sure I want to be one of those ever.:) I'm sorry if I had anybody worried. It just got to be so frustrating feeling crummy all the time and not having the energy to play in my flower beds and plant stuff from the RU. Tom managed to nurse everything through the dry hot summer, so most things made it through OK. I do have some things that need to go to the RU, including the daturas for Debbie. If there is anybody in SA or Austin or surrounding area that's going I would sure like to know. I wish I could go, but there's just too much work to do. We are shopping for a builder to build a new shop for us (we have been really blessed to have an opportunity to do this). Once it's built, DH and I will probably do the finish work, that is the walls inside that separate the shop from the show room, office , bathroom and spray room. We finally have the city's approval of the site plan. We are hoping our landlord doesn't find out about this. He'll be furious and may try to throw us out before we get the building ready.
Sorry, I'm rambling. I don't know how to edit with this contraption.
Anyway I hope you have an awsome RU and I hope to be at the next one. If we can get moved in by Feb, I will have earned a trip to a RU!
Mary Lee
Btw, I haven't seen any posts from Maggiemoo. Is she still around?
I'm not going to the RU but I only live about an hour from you Silverfluter. If someone brings something from the RU for you they can drop it to me during the day (I work in SA) and I'm coming up there sometime in Dec (kidnapping my MOM and wheelchair) to shop and enjoy the sights.
Renatelynne, what an interesting name! Thanks for the offer. I really wish I could go. RU's are so much fun.
Mary Lee, Maggiemoo's son's wife had a baby, a little girl, so she is now is a grandma,
and she is cuckoo about that baby.
We hardly here from her anymore, but she loves you, and had been wondering about you too.
Maybe when things settle down she will be posting here more often.
Josephine.
Yea... you missed the one at my house last month. AND I'm only an hour away from you. But planning on having one in the spring. I have enough land and space and everyone enjoyed themselves (if they didn't lie *giggle) so the spring one should be grand.
Plus there is a native plant sale here in Boerne in the spring. I will be posting the date as soon as I get my packet. (I sell planters and garden ornaments there).
Good to hear from you, Mary Lee! I've missed you!
Thanks, ya'll. Gee, I feel honored that I actually had a thread with my name on it!
There's another exciting thing going on my life btw. My 26 year old son is finally moving out. He has a good job and a good roommate who he's known since the 4th grade. So we've been busy with that too. I told him we were going to paint "his" room purple and hang pink tassles from the windows, to gently send him the message that it is no longer his room. DD heard me tell him that and asked me later, "are you really going to hang pink tassles in there"?
Now you should, even if it's just one tassle! LOL
Marylee Did you go to the roundup at College Station? I tried to do everything to get there and in doing so I am cripple. The las three weeks has been tumoultous for me, but thanks tio some good people here on DG I got hru it. I even forgot I had reserved a room at college station ... did nto realize it until it hit my credit card. you must read the thread "Sylvia's plant moving Party" its a riot! anyway its good seing you aound. Did Sandy make it to the Ru? My heart still bleeds for her.
Sylvia
Marilyn, no pink tassles yet.:) We are still cleaning out the mess he left. In fact we are cleaning out a lot of stuff from our house. We have been collecting stuff for almost 30 years (some of it longer than that). That open space sure looks good to me.:)
Sylvia, no I'm sorry we couldn't make it to the RU. I thought you were going though. Hope you're OK. "Plant moving party" sounds very interesting. I'll read your thread. I don't think Sandy made it to the RU. I didn't see her in any of the pictures.
Sandy had said early on that she wouldn't be going this year. We can hope she will make it in the spring. She would still love your prayers, as I am sure this Christmas will be a tough one for her.
Hi ... just incase anyone wonder whats going on with me ... I am on a walker now and I am alwyays in pain. I take one Lortabs every four hours. I take two to get to work and two to get in the car and drive home... My coworkers come down most of the time with the wheelchair to get me to he office ... thats when I am doing really bad....The 28th I go meet with the surgeon... I hope he gets me in before the end of the year because I have reached my deductible and I dont want to get up off 1k at this time...this depresses me too ... I will need to take a leave of absence for this procedure ... which means no cash coiming .... this depresses too I hate to hit you guys up with all this at this time but I thought you might want to know whats going on with me. I have been too depressed to get on the computer .... it sucks!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Oh Sylvia, i am sorry you are having so many problems, bless your heart, I wish I could take it all away.
Please let us know how you are coming along, we will be praying for you.
Love;
Josephine.
Oh, Sylvia... I'm so sorry! I wish I could take it away, too - or at least that I was close enough to help. :-( Thank you for letting us know so we can pray for you!!!
Love and hugs,
~ Marylyn
My prayers are with you too Sylvia! Be strong and encouraged that so many are praying for you! Depression sets in when we lose hope, so remember that nothing is hopeless. Be of good cheer!
Paige
Sylvia, I don't have the pain that you have, but I do know too well the effects of depression. I have thought alot about this and it seems to me that most of the depression that I feel is due to fear. There are some health issues that I am dealing with which so far have confounded conventional medicine and cost us a lot of money. So far the only "benefit" of having spent all this money is getting to see the doctor scratch his head. When I feel depressed the only thing I can do is force myself to look at something that makes me happy, and then I count that as one of my blessings.
I'm not meaning to be preachy, but I thought it might help to know that you are not alone in your depression. I received a happy birthday email from Roadrunner, and in my answer I said we had been so busy that I forgot to renew my subscription to DG. That's part of it, but depression and worry is the rest of the story.
Please keep us updated Sylvia and know that lots of people have cronic pain and they know how awful it is. We have to stick together.
Marylee, it is so nice to hear from you!!! I hope you are felling better.
I am a little mystified as to why your birthday did not appear on the birthday list on the date that it should have, What happened?
Josephine.
Ok guys my big day is Tuesday at 10:15. Thanks for all you prayers and thoughts. So Marylee you pay for one of those doctors that scratch thier heads too.? lol Sounds like my IM guy. he hardly ever ever has a answer and he is youg too.... and he wonders why I go running off to someone else. lol
As depressed as I have been about my hip, I am now begginig to worry... especially about this prosthetic. I have had these screws in my left thigh bone for fifty year and now he is going to remove them. Oh well there is no turning back now.
Luv
Sylvia
Oh Sylvia, I'm sorry to hear about all your pain. I'm glad that you have a date to get something done, and pray for the skill and wisdom of the drs!!
Marylee, so glad to hear you're okay! I was wondering about you, too... then I disappeared for a while...
Everyone stay warm!
Yes, Mary you did. I hear you have a new GD and you spend a lot of time with her. That's a very good thing!
Sylvia, it seems to me the more I pay them, the harder they scratch! They keep coming up with these outrageously expensive tests that don't tell you anything, and then they wonder why you're so depressed. Well, Doc my medical bills are causing problems that are worse than the problem I came in here with in the first place.
That does sound depressing, MaryLee. :-( I'll be praying that they can figure out how to help you soon!!!
Well I am back ... to the computer tha is! lol Marylee my IM did not even come to see me in the hospital! ...and afetr I called and asked him too. I really dont think he like me anymorre. lol ... and is probaly POed brause I chose my own surgeon as opposed.to his. His was a jerk and condesending and confrontational. My Rhematoid Dr dont like hom either ...and caused a big stink when he put in the hospital for three and a halfdays without his knowing it. Its no telling what is going to happen to me.... now that I have to take Medicare even though my boss is paying commercial premiuns! This a whole nother story!
Ah, yes, the joys of getting older. You've lived all this time and done pretty good but then the ol' bod' starts to go and suddenly you have no sense. Go Figure..
Ann
Hello Sylvia, How are you feeling girl? I hope the pain is gone and you will be well soon.
Love;
Josephine.
Josephine I am fine and the hip pain is all gone. I have a lot soreness in my thigh and knee and the left side. Right now I am waking up a lot less in the middle of the night take a pain pill.
Ann you are so right and now its time to play the Medicare game. I would like to inform anyone thats employed, less than 20 empolyes .... check for clauses in your insuranc contract.. Worst of all because you are Medicare elgible automatcally get Part A free. So the hospital is billing part A which is a 1000.00 deductible! Subsequintly since Part A is billed, now Aetna states they will pay inline with the Part B series.. Plus I got more issues, the hospital is not contracted with Aetna POS, which is good because the job just informed me we went with UHC 01/01/07 .lol My boss is making me sign up with medicare says he is not paying 900 a month to UHC for them to pay medicare rates. lol He say I go on the same plan as his mother... lol
My boss is hysterical ... I dont know why ... I am the one who informed him of the contract clause.
