Renee, love the new screen name. :)

Sandy, Glad to hear the doc is stepping up now.

Vonn, Hope all goes well for ya.

Frank, Don't overdo it. I know you're as stubborn as I am. ;)

Everyone, :grouphug::grouphug:

Had fun yesterday meeting some of hubby's friends at the grand opening for the mead place. LOL, it's about 5 minutes away from us. They did a tasting, and my hubby and I can't agree on what we like the best. He likes the sweet version and I like the dry.

Not doing much today. Just some laundry and stuff. Need to make a note to call doc. Not sure, but think I have an infection brewing and that would explain why I've been feeling so wiped out lately.

Hope everyone has a great day!

(((Fin))) definitely call the dr if you think you have an infection. Those infections can wipe us MSers out.

Today you can rest and kick back and watch the race. I don't have cable so I have to keep going to the computer to see the leaderboard. They are in Loudon this weekend. Maybe your boy will win today? Yeley is my new boy as Kahne ticked me off at the end of last season. Jerk! LOL. Jr is a good guy as well and really deserves to win some more. I like him as well. I root for Biffle but you know my reasoning for that.

:Wave-Hello:

Just catching up with all of you...I hope it's a good week ahead for all!

For me, same stuff, different day. Work and more work. Struggleing to do school. Wishing we'd get summer for real. Paying bills down significantly but along way to go.

Take care all

CayoKay 06-29-2008 10:43 PM

Frank, I know how it is... stuff's gotta get done, so we push ourselves, and then regret it for a week, or maybe even a month.

listen to your big sis here, and don't make me have to scold you again, geez, you JUST got out of the hospital dude, take it EASY, ferheavenssakes !!

Trish, sometimes I hear odd noises emanating from the other side of the room: "Ready? WHEEEEE !!" and I just *know* mi esposo's whackin' dem poor penguins again...

:D:winky::D

Barb, how are you doing this evening ?? hope ya got some good books...

NaeNae, happy to see you honey, gettin' back to yourself slowly but surely... and yes, I know all about the feelings in big stores... the fluorescent lights make me wanna curl up and hide... but, oddly enough, I hardly ever feel that way anymore, as going shopping is so rare for me, that the sheer excitement outweighs the panic thing.

strange, huh?

and VONNY BAYBEE !!! you may be homeless, but it's just for a WEE little bit more, and then, you'll be in that little place, and no more frozen pipes or pumps, no more icy-cold showers, and no more creepy landlady... we're all rootin' for ya champ !!

:hug:

CayoKay 06-29-2008 10:55 PM

oh, goshdarn it!

I *always* DO that... start thinking about what I want to say to you people, and forget to tell y'all about my OWN day, lol !!

I was so excited to count NINE ducks on nestfuls of eggs this afternoon, that I didn't LOOK where I was going, and stepped OFF the path, right onto a board, and of course, the board had a BIG ol' NAIL in it... which went a whole INCH into the arch of my right foot, ouchie ouch ouch !

:eek::(:eek:

I had to sit down, and call for mi esposo to come help me back to the house, and get him to finish my chores... luckily, I had finished 5 of my 6 feed-stops, and was almost done.

and DARN the sloppy contractor who didn't clean UP after himself, anyway... I'm gonna spank him on Monday, lol...

so, first things first, Jungle-First-Aid time...

I keep a complete giant suitcase, filled with everything from my Epi-Pen, and meds to surgical tape, gauze, gloves, iodine, alcohol wipes, ankle wraps, the whole nine yards...

I cleaned the wound, bandaged it, and checked my records to see when my last Tetanus booster was... good! I got it in 2004, so that's good.

now, I have the foot bandaged and elevated, and hubby's waiting on me hand 'n' foot, and that's fun too... lol.

and tomorrow, we'll start transferring all those ducky-moms into the nursery, so make sure they're safe, well-fed, and not bothered by horny drakes during their "confinement" (35 days)

so, NaeNae, we'll have bunches and bunches of cute little fuzzy ducklings to show Olivia next month, YAY !!

Okay, the only one that knows this is my husband but I thought I would share just to emphasize what stress is capable of.

I cannot be alone or I cannot breathe. The ironic thing is is that I am a loner! I have never had an anxiety attack in my life. These last couple of weeks have been h**l. I am now on my second medication and i think this one may work. At least it is helping.

I was doing pretty good until my new doc dumped me on Thursday and now I can feel it coming back. I just want my husband around all the time. As if I am a child and he will protect me?

Funny what our mind will do when the stress levels have apparently reached their peak.

I wish you well NaeNae.

prettypearlgirl 06-29-2008 11:53 PM

Hi Everyone! I'm back from Florida and trying to get my act back together. Exhaustion is the operative word. I got eaten alive by the no-seeums while I was there, so the bites are now infected looking and itching like mad. Figures I have to be so allergic to all insect bites:rolleyes:!!!

Other than the minor stuff, I had a lovely time visiting with my sister and got to also have time with my favorite aunt and uncle as well. Coudn't have been better as far as the visiting went.

The flight going down was delayed two and a half hours, so Jet Blue gave me a $50.00 voucher towards my next flying adventure:yahoo::Girl(angel-flying):! We had really bad thunder storms both ways, so were also delayed flying back home into Boston:thud:. It was quite an adventure for someone who hates flying, LOL!!! My ears are still all blocked up and I can't hear too well. Been trying to figure out how to get them to open up again so people don't sound like I'm listening to them underwater:eek:!!

Hope everyone is doing well here. I'll catch up soon as I can:D!

Carolyn:hug:

FinLady 06-30-2008 09:11 AM

Good Morning all :) Here with my usual cup of coffee, begging it to wake me up. :D

Need to get some stuff done today. Where has the time gone? Friday is the 4th. :eek:

We've got plans to party with some of our friends and watch fireworks. They have a contest every year for specific dishes brought. This year it's red, white, and blue desserts. I'm thinking of doing something with fruit.

Once I'm awake enough, I'm going to phone call the doc. :p Hate feeling the way I do right now. But should be as right as rain soon. Oh wait, it's been raining too much here. :rain::rain::D

JustWeave 06-30-2008 09:41 AM

Hi all! Didn't mean to stay away so long. I lurked around the corners but didn't post. :cool:

Well I had big plans for the weekend. Unfortunatly life decided to dump a tandem tractor trailer load of lemons on me on Saturday. :mad::rolleyes: I'll be dealing with that mess for a while I'm sure.

Remember that super long list I made that just confirmed a big mess before Saturday even hit me? On Friday I turned that list into six lists. Now I just focus on one list or two at the most.

Hugs to all. I wish I had time to drop each of you a brief personal note. Hopefully the dust will settle soon and I can do that.

tkrik 06-30-2008 09:43 AM

Kay - Be careful. I hope that you are doing OK today. That really sounds as if it would hurt!!! I am glad you had your Jungle Aid kit. Nine nestfuls of eggs.:eek: Oh my goodness are you going to be busy shortly! Wow! I'll be looking for those beautiful pictures on Olivias Wok Wok Thread.

Frank - lol. I am the same way. It is so much easier for me to tell others to not overdo it and what do I do - overdo it all the time. LOL. I must admit that yesterday I was just a lump. The trip took quite a bit out of me and there was way too much sitting - something my hamstrings don't like and completely reject. LOL. However, when I am a lump like that I feel so guilty and feel like I really need to be up doing something. I am supposed to be doing some paintings to start selling and all this was going through my mind as I was a lump. I took 2 naps yesterday!

(((Carolina))) - I feel for you! That must be so difficult for both you and DH. Thank you for sharing that with us. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help out.

Hi Carolyn - Glad you had a nice and safe trip back. I am sorry you were under attack though.:( I hope they heal up soon now that you are home.

Hi Fin - Red, white, and blue desserts sound yummy. Oh there are all sorts of possibilities. You'll have to let us know what you come up with. I love themed parties and get togethers. I am sure you will have an awesome time. Also, let us know what the doc says. I am hoping that all will be well and he'll just say it's the weather. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi everyone else. I hope you are all doing well.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

weegot5kiz 06-30-2008 10:07 AM

omlett didnt turnout too bad, tasted pretty good actually the java was still the best part of breakfast

NaeNae 06-30-2008 01:55 PM

I know exactly what you mean Carolina! i had that badly after I almost died after giving birth to Olivia, Andy couldn't even leave the room and I was hysterical!

Git Olivia into training pants today.....took mom with me and did all the shopping I needed to. Dayton and I have docs appts tomorrow for med refills....of course they don't take my ins. so I have to pay and just be reimbursed!

barb02 06-30-2008 04:12 PM

Hi All!

Nae Nae -- How old is Olivia? My niece is 2 and 1/2. My sister called very excited and proud of Anya today because she had her first day at "school" with big girl pants on and she did not have an accident. So they were going to "Build a Bear" at the mall as a reward. She is a tad bit spoiled.

Frank, Dieting is hard! We can commiserate with each other. Boca sausage is pretty good.

Hi Fin, Did you get bad storms on Saturday night? I heard that most of columbus was without power. My family in eastern Ohio lost power for about 20 hours. I am thinking blueberries, strawberries, and ... My SL makes a jello pretzel dessert that is really good.

Carolyn, Flying sucks! I hate flying, but will still do it in order to get places... eventually. Glad you had a good visit with family.

I went into my office at school today and worked on updating my reading list for my graduate seminar on the Presidency. This fall should be a fun time to teach presidential politics. Once I got there I received a call from cleaning people that if forgot to leave my door unlocked. Sheesh! I knew they were coming; I always clean before they come:rolleyes:

I am trying to get use to my new computer at school. I asked for a larger monitor and ended up with one that is really big. It also has Microsoft office /word 2007 on it so that is going to take awhile to get use to. Plus all of my documents are saved in 2003 so now my home and office computer are not compatible. I need to download some program for my home computer so that I can convert files back and forth. I hate new technology!

weegot5kiz 06-30-2008 04:14 PM

nae nae that bites about ins, is their a docs office that does so in time u can maybe switch

today i took it easy went to home depot with deb:hit-safe: no problem got my cane and she got me a shopping cart:eek:

rule 1 she gets me a cart its gonna be a long visit at the store:Head-Spin:

next we go to the tile paint and kitchen cabinet sections, go ahead honey pick colors you would like:Bang-Head::Bang-Head::Bang-Head::Bang-Head::Bang-Head::Bang-Head:

why in gods name ask me to do this:Clever:
the colors i pick,:Doh: will not be what she has planned, planned down to the last sliver:Sinking:

oh then i ripped apart the patio door and fix the track and put door back together:Dancing-Chilli:

so how was everyones day, hopefully as pleasant as todays weather, what a beautiful day, if it could stay like this all year, if:rolleyes:

am so sorry the most important thing congrats oliva and nae nae

NaeNae 06-30-2008 04:57 PM

Frank its ok cause after divorce is final I have no insurance unless I pay the 933.00 every three months to keep tricare for 3 years!

Barb-Olivia turns 3 in August and due to moving to Virginia, then the divorce is having potty training issues!

weegot5kiz 06-30-2008 05:51 PM

isnt he required by law to keep ins on them also? double check this might be part of the well kid program he needs to keep ins on them and dont forget if your income is X amount the kids might qualiy for medicare, just something to ponder

ive confiscated the laptop and got tunes cranking and messing with the game post, i am not doing anything rest of night woooooo hooooooooooo i so hurt lol but i got so much done maybe im done had one more thing i wanted to do today guess thats why there are tomorrows

NaeNae 06-30-2008 07:50 PM

He is required to keep it on our daughter but our son is not his, I have applied and qualify what with no income except child support and alimony for the states insurance coverage...which is really good here.

CayoKay 06-30-2008 09:16 PM

hi all...

I'm tired, frustrated, and wanna break something (well, maybe something small, and not valuable, lol)

I've been trying for a week to find out my balance on a bank account (back in the US) so I can write a check, and close the account.

I mean, I know what my checkbook shows, but it might be off a bit (I have been known to make errors occasionally - gulp...)

so, I'm living in a foreign country, and the bank ONLY has an 800 number... 800 numbers don't WORK from abroad.

but I cannot seem to find a REAL number that I can call, (I'm willing to pay for the call, so that my CHECK is for an accurate amount!)

neither do they have any online customer support (click on customer support, and you get the 800 number!) NOR do they have an email address...

I've been trying to get into my account online, but can't remember user-name or password, tried so many times they just SUSPENDED my access a few moments ago..

well, ha ha ha!

since I couldn't get in ANYWAY, what good is suspending access when you haven't GOT access anyway??

and I haven't gotten a PAPER statement since April (mail can be slow in the jungle.)

I HATE having cognitive MS issues sometimes... really... it feels like I'm going in circles., and don't know how to solve this easily.

wah wah wah !!!

oh, and my right foot still hurts from that nail... not infected, just sore from the puncture.

wah wah wah !!

guess I'll just write a check for MOST of it, and deal with the small remainder next month, or later, when my statement finally wanders in?

I just hate doing that, 'cause then I'll have to pay another month (or two) of acct fees... and write another check, and take it to the bank HERE to cash it...

PLUS... what if I FORGET about this next month, or the month after that?

heck, I could LOSE my checkbook between now and then, right? or my mind?

okay, who here volunteers to remember this for me?

and will you remind me at the end of August that I have a small bit of money to track down, and collect?

'cause otherwise, the bank will just "disappear" it into their gaping greedy maw, right?

:grouphug::hug::grouphug:

NaeNae 07-01-2008 08:46 AM

LOL I so understand Kay, its weird most of my lesions are around the areas in my brain that deal with numbers, balancing a check book is a nightmare for me...which I now have to do, I use the calculator but I ahve to check and recheck it because...maybe I transposed the numbers or didn't read them right in the first place <sigh>

Maybe you could give one of us the 800 number to your bank and we could call it for you and get a direct number to give to you???

My son and I are off to the doc this morning, I also am calling the TOUCH people today to see about assisstance for people with no insurance.

tkrik 07-01-2008 09:06 AM

NaeNae - We are on the state insurance here. Well, I am on Medicare and Medicaid. DDs are on the state insurance. It has been such a blessing to us.

Kay & NaeNae - There is never anything in my account to balance. LOL. But I do ok as long as I have a calculator. DD16 helps with the budget and reminding me of when bills are due. We write them on a calendar. She also has access to my account online and can pay bills from there if need be.

Yes, it really sucks when the lesion takes these skills from us. Statistics, trending, data analysis, etc. was my favorite part of my job prior to MS. I don't even think I could do it now. Most the time I feel like a complete idiot and it is very frustrating. I hate having that "glazed donut" look all the time. LOL

Kay - I can have DD16 put it on our calendar to send you a PM at the end of August. LOL.

~~~~
Nothing major to update. My busiest time of the month for transcription should be starting soon. Lots of month end reports are dictated and need to be transcribed within 24 hours of dictation. :eek: But should they not start today, I am getting my behind in gear and doing some paintings to sell. This coming month is going to be a rough one for us and I really will need the extra money.

Additionally, DDs crashed their laptop! We've had it a year and a few weeks. The warranty expired, of course. It's a Macbook and I really don't know much about Mac's. So, it looks like I will need to get that fixed.:rolleyes:

Oh, I need to get busy.:eek::D

I hope you all have a fantastic day!

JustWeave 07-01-2008 09:12 AM

Stopping in long enough to let ya'll know I'm among the living. Took the kids and went shopping yesterday. :Bang-Head::Bang-Head::Bang-Head:Both have a bad case of the gimmies and I'm broke as usual. The teenager isn't as bad as the preteen but neither seem to understand what broke is.:rolleyes:Managed to get a few things done around the house. I have big plans in that area for today and kid group golf lessons tonight. Lots to do, better get moving.

SandyC 07-01-2008 09:30 AM

Just checking in. We are having a blast in the Dells! We'll be home tomorrow night. I will post pictures then. We are off to pet some deers and visit the upside down White House today. I also got some pics of the lake that is drained due to the floods. Frank, thanks for checking on me!

Weave - I hear you. Kids don't realize that there is a bottom to the checkbook. LOL. I need money for this, I need money for that. DD18 started working a few months ago and now has her own checking and savings accounts. Funny how she has turned in to a tight wad. LOL.

Sandy - Glad you guys are having a great time. I look forward to seeing the pics when you get back.

FinLady 07-01-2008 10:08 AM

Hi all :) Just a sitting here waiting for results on some tests they had me do. Won't plan my day around it, LOL. Takes time for them to do it.

Did some running around this morn, and am trying to plan the rest of my day. Nice one today, and I may go out for a small walk later on.

:grouphug: Have a great day everyone.

~~


Barb, We've had small power outages. a few moments at a time in my neck of the woods. Just long enough for our computer systems to go wonky, LOL.

TK, is there an apple store in your neck of the woods? They might be able to point you in the right direction for your DD's laptop.

Sandy, petting deer sounds cool. Hope you all are having a blast.

Kay, never ask me to be your reminder. LOL, I have trouble remembering what day it is most of the time. :D

Renee, Hope the ins situation works out here soon.

Frank, I have learned that when I ask my hubby a loaded question, he gives me a specific look. It's kind of like a "I'm not going to answer that one, I know better" type of thing. LOL. I generally narrow down ideas then ask his opinon after that - which if he really doesn't like something - I know it. :D

tkrik 07-01-2008 10:23 AM

Thanks Fin!:hug: I did look up the number and will call them when they open up. In the meantime, I started a thread about it and asked those that I know on NT that use Macs. I know if I bring it in it will cost at the minimum $100 just for labor. That is NOT an option for us right now so I need to learn to possibly fix it myself. I don't know anything about Macs.:(

I should have gotten them a PC but since DD18 does all that digital arts stuff, I bought the Mac. UGH!!!

NaeNae 07-01-2008 11:51 AM

Well I got to the doctors office...its an hours drive....only to find out that the new appointment scheduler told me the wrong day...have to go back tomorrow now. My uncle and I are taking all the kids to the rodeo parade we have here every 1st and 4th of July. Olivia will love all of the horsies....she's been really into those and cows since we've been here...wonder why! Sandy glad yall are having a good time!

I have told Sandy before...my mother has no idea what it it is like to have MS she doesn't understand nor does she want to, so I just listened to a myriad of griping about how she is 63 years old and has more energy than I do etc. (sigh)

fourteen nests now, goodness gracious me !!

it's a-gonna be DUCK CITY around here next month...

and yes, I'll post lots of pix, I solved the camera/plug problem, scored a SPLITTER at a brand-spankin' NEW computer store in town, hallelujah!

* * *

NaeNae... my daughter TRIED that for me yesterday... for security purposes the bank wouldn't release any information to someone not on the account, not even my daughter, and not even to confirm the balance amount... stupid rules... I understand them, but they're a pain in the butt, when there's no way AROUND them for someone outside the country.

but ya know, my daughter COULD ( I suppose ) have me in the *freezer* or something (I've been watchin' too much CSI... I know, lol) and be trying to cash in on my assets or something...

* * *

got some more gripes... some friends just got their Permanent Residency, and THEY submitted their application seven MONTHS after we did... so, I'm kind of peeved.

AND, in talking with my daughter, (on Instant Messenger, yay!) I learned that SSDI has sent a reevaluation form, FIFTEEN years after my approval... I don't remember EVER having got one before...

my daughter (ever the joker) says to me... "Mom? SSDI wants to know if you still have MS?"

and I'm all... "WHAT ?!? Don't those FOOLS know that MS is incurable ?? !! ??"

then, she started lmao-ing all over the place, the little brat... gotta LOVE her...

it's just a form wanting to know my current status, probably triggered by my request to have my Direct Deposit changed from my California bank to one here...

and that reminds me... my SSDI Direct Deposit (to my Belize bank) paperwork hasn't come through yet... argh! I hope this EVAL doesn't delay or muck it up...

I'm going with the April balance on the check I'm writing today, less $100, and hoping for the best...

I put a note on my calendar, now I just have to remember to LOOK at the CALENDAR, lol !!

* * *

on the UP-side, I got all dozen of the Guinea Pig cages scrubbed and filled with sweet new-mown hay, and paired up boys and girls for PARTY time...

and, we went to the wholesale market this morning, got there at 4:30 am, before the vendors, and SCORED a 150 lb bag of cabbage, a 50 lb bag of carrots, a 50 lb bag of potatoes, a dozen buns of crisp celery, and... oh joy, oh rapture...

a REAL rarity in the jungle, a 1 lb package of FRESH mushrooms... omg omg omg... I'm gonna saute' them for dinner tonight, and roll my EYES up into my HEAD with sheer *delight*

AND, we caught that dastardly drake this morning, and he's caged for the plucking party tomorrow.

which means, I'm mega-exhausted, and heading to bed for a NAP, at 11 am, lol !!

....................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... .......................

Vonn07 07-01-2008 12:22 PM

moving on
 
hey there .. I'm not moved yet .. and the place that I've been waiting for - well, I've left messages - but she hasn't returned any since friday! ... and the 90yo is alive and kicking, and the one that was going to move .. didn't ... so, yesterday - I was wallowing in self-pity about 'nothing goes right' for me blah blah blah ...

slept on it .. and decided to look into another unit here in BD ... and guess what?? he has an OPENING right on the water ... and I could move in by this weekend!!

has anyone have to get a letter from their doctor stating what restrictions you have - and that the need for handrails, higher toilet, A/C, daily call-in (not required to do) to the main desk, storage area within the unit ... is beneficial for the disabled person?? should I write it?? and then fax it to my doctor - they sign it and fax it to the housing unit? help!!!:eek:

I'd have MY DD-29 do it, but she's RIGHT smack-dab in the middle of doing her Master's Thesis at the moment, and her memory for things unrelated to her papers and getting her degree is... shall we say... AWOL ??

Thanks Trish, and tell DD-16 that Kay appreciates it MUCHLY !!

yes, once, for an APT in California.

and yes, *I* wrote it, and brought it (five blocks) to my doctor, and he signed it, and I took it to the apt complex mgr.

it said I needed A/C, and handrails, and then the apt. could get the FUNDING for the handyman to install those items.

it went smoothly, and was done in two days.

wishin' ya luck, Vonny-baby... you GO girl !!

thanks, Kay ... that's what I thought ... I will write up the letter, fax it to my doctor, so they can sign and fax it to the housing! thanks!!

HAHA ... REST? mwaw?? not really, Frank ... and it's probably why I sorta got depressed yesterday! decided to try something new and move on ... and it actually would be closer to my friends and biker group ... these were the same people that made a collection of almost $700 last June to help me out ...

Back from a day in the 90 plus degree heat...pretty sure I do not even need to elaborate further....had to be dragged back to the car, but the kids were all sticky frfom cotton candy and snocones and happy and tanned with their pockets full of candy,Olivia has already perfected her parade wave and loved all of the horses she even conducted one of the bands! And all of the rodeo queens were quickly taken with all of her bouncy curls!

(((Vonn))) What a hassle! Hopefully all will work out by this weekend and you can move in and get settled. I am sure the vagabond life is getting to you as I know it would me. Wishing you the best.

NaeNae - I am glad your cotton candied, sno-coned, tanned little ones had such a great time. I am sure, at this point, they needed that.

Hey all,
Well back from our trip...the kids enjoyed the visit with the kids I used to nanny....and had a blast..as the hotel was a waterslide place. Then we went on to visit with my sister and family...also my parents were down to my sisters too.

It was nice to spend some time with Madeline, she is reading a bit about preparing for death book she has, it is a positive outlook one..if that makes sense...I just mean preparing for loved ones and for what you want ....

She is feeling pretty good, just gets tired often, and now seems to have a raspy cough that I worry is something from the cancer on her lungs..but mabye I am wrong....

Anyhow, she did get a call today, she is accepted for a test medicine..(as they ran out of chemos that are helping...so next step is experimental drugs)

anyhow...she will start maybe the 14th on the new medicine...it is oral..so that might excite her...as she has been on chemo fo 3ish years now...with port..and going in for chemo and all....she will be monitored a lot I am sure as it is a trial med...but still oral drug might be better.

sunday she was annointed at Mass, the annointing of the sick...you can request to have that.....so we all were there...I kindof broke down in tears..after seeing my niece with teary eyes....so I went out to the bathroom for a bit..to clear up....then as we were leaving church my 8 year old..Jasmine said...Mom, I dont want Aunt Madeline to die.....I lost it some more....but comforted her with the knowledge that it wont be real soon..and that life is short no matter if healthy or not...that we all have to enjoy each moment we are blessed with..and cherish time...

Anyhow, better get going, other sister who lives in town...and I are heading out to visit and have pizza together....a bit away time from kids...she has five kids too.

I havent been able to read up much...but VONN good luck with the drs orders for apt....
Frank keep behaving...

alll hugsssss and stay out of too much heat...hugsss and hope to get back with personals soon....hugsss,sarah

Good morning all :)

Drinking my usual morning cup of coffee and came across an article online saying that it's good for me - LOL. Looks like another study has come saying that it might be good for MS'ers. Good news for me, as I get another cup. :D

Trying to wake up so I can take a walk before it gets too warm outside. Yesterday was great, but it's supposed to go above 85 today.

Have a good day all :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Renee, Glad the kids had a good time yesterday. LOL, I remember the parade wave. That must have been so cute.

Sarah, I'm glad you had a good visit with your sis. She seems like a very strong lady. :hug:

Morning all, Olivia has not stopped talking about the horsies, there were pics in this mornings paper and I had to cut them all out for her! Daytons birthday is at the end of this month and Olivia's is mid August, while Dayton wants a set of golf clubs (which he is getting LOL) I am sure Olivia will be getting some horsie things!
