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 !!

2006 - $26.1 million
2005 - $18.9 million

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?

If you have enough candles Kay, then keep one burning.

If you don't have enough.......have you tried making your own?

Just joking!
