hang in there renee the lawyer will know what to do,

Good morning all The sun is shining again and another cool day today. I'm surrounded by my two kitties as I sip my coffee.

Will probably try to get some stuff done outside since I took a few days off for other stuff and to rest up.

I saw a cool bike (if you could call it that) the other day. It's like a reverse trike, with two wheels in front and one in back. Actually kinda looks like a jet ski with wheels, LOL.

For those of you who know, banged up my left knee bad falling off a motorcycle last year trying to learn to operate one. Hit brake and throttle at same time, lol. This thing doesn't have handbrakes, so it takes care of that problem.

I just got caught up on the insights post and have to say to Renee that I am so very sorry that you are going through this.

It's not fair to you or the children.

I can't even imagine what you are going through. I'm angry for you!

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we're here for you!

I can't believe he was allowed to cancel accounts. Wasn't your name on any of them. Back when I got a divorce (27 years ago) he only had to pay child support so I'm not familiar with the family court system but I have to believe that you and the children should be cared for.

You can't just be thrown out into the street. I'm sure his abandonment would account for something.

Please take care of you and your children. You are in my prayers.

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you all are having a good day. It is sunny but chilly here in Illinois.

Well I made it through the colonoscopy, but did have some problems. The prep was nasty as usual. Most of last night I experienced really painful muscle cramps/spasms in both of my legs and one foot. I ocasionally will get them in my leg that is stiff, but I have never felt anything this bad. My toes started cramping under on my good foot and then things just got worse. I hope it was due to a loss of fluids/ potassium or something. Then during the procedure today I woke up a few times and it hurt like ****. The doctor blamed it on the meds I am on, but I have woke up before during both a colonscopy and an endoscopy. They can't just knock me out. No wonder I do not get enough sleep. Finally, I had three polyps and he said that one of them may possbilby be pre cancerous. So now I have to wait 2 weeks before they get the lab results back. All in all the last two days have sucked and on Friday I go for a MRI.

Ok, so obviously I am feeling sorry for myself, but I will get over it.

Oh, Barb, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. Don't we have enough to deal with without adding more to the mix?? Feel better soon and treat yourself kindly.....you deserve some pampering.

Barb,

Sorry to hear about the test and having to wait for the results. Prayers heading your way too.

barb heres hoping the test is benign i am also waiting, try not to worry about it, not much u can do anyhow, so why work yourself up fretting about what might not be, hang in there barb

howdy yall

hows everyone else doing, fine I hope



peace

hey Barb ... that's okay ... you can feel sorry for yourself - >> *sending tons of *

nice to see you Beth ... hope all is well with you too!!

**UPDATE**
nothing much - got my quiz results back ... low B ... but overall - still doing okay.

just want to move and get out of here .... waiting to hear about a PT job down in Beaver Dam .. doesn't start until July - so that all sounds super!

finished another quilt top for my friend's son in college. working on cleaning out the boxes from storage ... made it thru 2 more today and washed the glass and jars (used to paint on!) ... so, when I paint ON them, I can SELL them ... going to paint birds on them .. hummers, cards, and chickadees ...

also sewn elastic in sleeves for a jacket for a friend ...

I'm just squeemish about submitting my business plan for the quilt corp to make quilts for kids ... with the $$ I could move and get the business really rolling ... branding prods appreciated ...

NaeNae, still holding you and your kids in my thoughts and prayers.

Lor, that stinks about the seizure... I hope you can get that straightened out so you have less, or none... 'cause the aftermath spaciness is hard to handle.

Barb, sorry the colonoscopy didn't go well... and worse, that you have to wait on tenterhooks for test results... that just blows.

Frank, I hope you are recovering well from your bout with illness, and Chuckie stays where he belongs, off on a date in Tahiti with Sharon... geez, I hope they use birth control !!

Finny, glad you're sailing smoothly... I get jealous everytime I read about your cups of coffee... I'm trying to cut it to 3 cups a week... coffee seems to accelerate the hot flashes, gack !!

TK, yoohoo? where IS you ??

Beth, how have you been?

Vonny, good luck on your latest ambitious project, dear.

Sarah, how's the new job going?

Kitty, good to see you, drop by more often, we don't see nearly enough of you.

Sandy, thanks for keeping us updated on NaeNae, and for all your REALTIME support for her... wish I could help but I'm so far away... so... when does your mom arrive again? (sorry, I'm so forgetful these days, lol!)

my update: does anyone here remember the California (fake) energy crisis of 2001 ?

the rolling blackouts, brownouts, and massive increases in our electric bills was part of what convinced me to move abroad, to a place where the utilities were still run in the PUBLIC's interest, rather than for greedy profits by thugs like ENRON and Dynergy... that was a real cluster-mess...

well, guess what, kiddies? it's deja-vu all OVER again for poor little ol' Kay !!

the power here has been on and off and on and off and on and off for the last two days (which is why ya haven't seen much of me!)

oh well, at least my house is designed to be cool, and I have lots of books to read, and a comfortable bed, lol !!

all my critters are doing well, and I'll do pix, maybe tomorrow, if the power is reliable.

wish me luck !!

HI, Anne !!! (waves from afar)

what's FUNNY is... mere SECONDS after I entered the above post, the power FAILED again... this time for ten minutes.

this is gettin' kinda old.

since I spent the entire ten minutes hunting for candles, matches, kerosene, and lanterns in the pitch-black jungle-dark-night.

the outages aren't of long enough duration to turn on the generator, but just short enough to seriously annoy... what with frantically trying to save open documents, shutting down the computer, and trying to get things situated before the screen-light fades...

60... 59... 58... 57... 56... 55... LOL !!

now, the question is, do I keep the candles burning, just in case it goes OFF again?
