    I need to ask for some prayers, please. My DH's brother Steve is very, very sick. He is much younger, as he is his half-brother from when his dad remarried after his mom died (when Dh was just a kid). He has stage 4 brain cancer, and didn't want anyone to visit, so we haven't been up there (Knoxville), and he didn't even want anyone to know about it, so his wife told us a few months ago, but didn't want us to contact him. So its been hard not knowing what has been going on. Well, she just called, and he had a seizure and is out of it, and got pneumonia in the hospital, where he is right now. If he gets well enough to go to rehab, they will try to help him get his strength back,but right now it does not look good. And he is so out of it he doesn't realize what is going on. I know there is strength in numbers, when a lot of prayers go out, so I do really appreciate any prayers from any of you! Thank you so much! When we were in Gatlinburg last fall and I wasn't feeling well as I hadn't slept in ages (remember that, Lori?), I had hoped at least my DH might be able to see them, but we didn't realize their phone no had changed, so we couldn't even contact them. As it turns out, that prolly would have been a good time to visit as it was right before he got the cancer dx. Thank you all very much.

    Good morning girls!


    Have to pop in quickliest as my home nurse will be here in less than 30 minutes to change my dressings. I love having her, it eliminates a lot of stress for me and mese feels pampered. Hey, I wonder if any of de tenders nose how to do nurse dooty?


    Chrissy, I hope you feel better soonliest, glad that sweet Stella is helping you out and pampering you. If anyone deserves pampering, it is ye. Glad you did not git sick for de big day but sawry you got hit. I pray that the bug leaves you asapliest. ((((CHRISSY)))).


    Oh you goils were having a ball last night. Mese had a nice phone call but was not what I expected as far as conversation. We talked about our ailments and bragged out our kiddies, nothing much more. We habing a hard time admitting dat we had to grow up finally.


    Cool that we has a leap day baby in de lounge. I git a kick out of those born on leap day. I was also born on a leap year, 1960 but not leap dey. But had classmates that had de birthday and two of dem was twins. They all having dere 14th birthdays next leap day, funnneeee to me.


    well can't address you all but nice reading to wake up to. I never did get back here last night, got tied up with doing mese Halloween stuff. oh, have to comment to Marlin, so sorry that punks took yer stuff from the yard, that is jest cruel. and trust me, you don't want mese stank bugs. and I don't want de moths. not like we can really trade anyway. I did have a moth issue a few years back. dey was gitting in from outside from a teeny tiny hole and gitting into mese kitchen. tousands would flock in and I find dem in mese shower and ebery where. I tank God dey go away once winter hit.


    happy monkey dey! reminds me of how sweet it is to be away from work, I take it, holes and all!


    cheeRs!

    Yum, dat dwink looks gud, 4sew! Been missing the DOTD since NM and Lowee are both MIA.


    Speaking of NM....hey, whuts up girlfriend? Wese all bin missing you....we NEED YOU here...hope you are ok and not sick. If we don't hear from you soonliest we jest might have ta call ya and make sure you are okay.


    Ok...I don't want the stinkiest bugs or the webbiest moths...no way! I keep our rice in containers in the fridge, since we use brown rice and it spoils quicker. When we had the birds, we kept their seed in the freezer so any bugs would die. So many times, even though buying their seed at good pet stores, there would be bugs in it. My DH would like your big pantry 4sew! We have food in cupboards in the house, plus a jelly cupboard for food in the kitchen, PLUS a wardrobe in the garage for food...AND he still buys so much I find it hidden everywhere! MOstly canned food, but sheesh!!!!


    I have a question....*blushing* ....but they had a deal on tix to a Burlesque Show here...I think its a showcase show, anyway, we are going to it this weekend. I know Burlesque does not mean stripping....but mostly teasing...and they can even just take a glove off....but I imagine it will be pretty sensual. Has anyone been to a burlesque show??? ITs in the same funky arts bldg that I took my gdau to painting class on Sat. Its an old cotton mill, turned into arts center. Has the old elevator that a person has to operate, and pull DOWN the wood slatted "doors"....fun. They had a 2/for 1 because of the gov't shutdown! Maybe we can get the Wenches to do a Burlesque show in the HTL! I think some guys do it too, so maybe a Tender or two will want to do it.


    Cheerio! Pau Hana Time! Bottoms Up! Titz Up!

    Hey Kat. That show sounds like fun. I think of that movie Cher did with stanley tucci! My DH laughed and said burlesque in BAMA might mean they strip off they coveralls! Are there still tickets? I should drive him over for the show!


    I usually out the rice in the fridge but kids helped with groceries and I have everything in Rubbermaid or screw top containers. I keep all the flour in the freezer, etc. we have had this trouble before living in de south! We cant keep anything in the garage or we get chipmunks and other furry friends :0( With 6 of us we go thru stuff pretty quick and it has been a long time don't know where they came from again. It sucks cuz I really don't want to open every package and clean the whole pantry. Just don't have that kind of motivation after driving to rads every day and I thought I was getting this damn drain out tomorrow, but I think I am stuck a while longer. My PS picky, a good thing, but I want a bubble bath or at least an untethered shower!


    Love those old elevators. I remember going into downtown Chicago as a kid and the elevators operators in their uniforms to take you to whatever floor you wanted. They were cool old elevators too!

    4sew, your DH needs to google "Huntsville" as we are in a VERY hi-tech area, very upscale, not like what the usual visual is when someone says Alabama! Don't usually see overalls or coveralls. In fact we get some restaurants/shoppes before a lot of other cities get them. But I think the Burlesque show will be a bit funky/avant garde, not really a high-style show! I don't know, I will see and let you all know!


    OK, we need Dorkie and NM to check in with us!!! We know that Lowee and Julieee are twaveling, so dey are excused!


    Ciao for Niao!!!!!

    Ohhhh Lara, I didn't do anything in Thailand that was not something I recognized! You are a brave soul. We did go to the nighttime markets though in Bangkok....omg the stuff you see there at night. Did you enjoy your trip? We loved it there, but then it got a bit scary to go there now, so we haven't been back. DId you see the Phuket Tidal Wave movie "The Impossible" or something like that? Saw it on the plane recently, and it was pretty good...looked like a tv movie though instead of a theatre movie.

    Whew....you had me worried! We get VERY defensive as sooooo many people have the wrong idea of our area. In fact we have the 2nd largest research park in the country, so there are so many engineers here and rocket scientists! Sometimes when we travel, we are talking to people we meet, and all is going well, then when they ask where we live and we say Alabama, well shoot you could hear a pin drop sometimes. So we quickly add that I am from Hawaii. LOL. I think its funny how they refer to coastal Alabama, as "LA".... lower Alabama! Never heard of being raised "UP" though! lol. OF course we also have an awesome football team!!! Roll Tide Roll...

    Kat..praying for Steve. I remember when you first mentioned him to us and how you said your SIL didnt want you to contact him about it , that he wanted to keep it quiet...Thats so hard to do when you care. Ick..hate Snakes.


    Where is NM??


    When did we start calling Dortys Puka's as holes?? Dorothy , enjoy that papering while you can and enjoy every second of no Woik..K..I'll work for yese and double time and tripple time so you can recoup.


    4sew...ketching up isnt easy . Is it? I find I am taking notes because sometimes I start reading then have to do something like work...lol and then go back and i have more to ketchup to so taking notes for me is key. I remember those old elevators and Quincy too.


    Hope Lowie and Julie are both having a fab time on their trips.


    Glad you have Stella hailping you out there Chrissy and that the Moller fokker hasnt been seen.


    Lara, what kind of art did your Grampa do ? Forensics sounds interesting but like nursing ..not sure I could stomach it.


    Cami..Hugz to you Joey and Katie Kat. You havent mentioned Vaccuming lately...did they stop?


    BBBernie, Hope you are having a blast and ...OH Yeah,,,..its Tuesday.I think I know what you are doing.


    A lot of cities are stereo typed by maybe something we heard/read or someone we met that sets the idea for any given place. My XDH used to think when I moved up to Maine many years ago that there were all mountain hicks living in cabins...He was clearly and idiot. XPB thought everyone from Massachusetts was a Masshole....but she was probably right about that. ..


    It is still raining in my kitchen..the whole floor is covered with towels ..its so bad. working again..started at 12PM today and will be here until 11:30PM...Sigh....

    Chit, still raining in your kitchen Cyn? Dang that gets OLD...hate that you have to put up with that and wish you could somehow reflect that in paying a lower rent till it gets fixed. Have you taken pics? MIght be able to do something, but evidence will help. Funny that your ex thought Maine had hicks....I always thought they would be classy in all the New England states. I used to have a bad image of AL, as I remember seeing the riots etc in Birmingham during the Civil Rights struggles...I thought all of AL was just ugly red brick bldgs. SO it was a nice surprise the first time I drove thru here in the mid 1970's....I fell in love with this area with the nice mountains, lakes, rivers, etc.....and had wanted to live here one day, so I am glad I finally did get to move here. I still LOVE Hawaii,and it will always be "home", but I prefer to live here and just visit Hawaii.


    Yeah good for you for setting everyone straight....Dorkie has PUKAS!!!! It was so funny for me when I first moved to the mainland, and had to call pukas "holes". Sure hope her pukas are healing and getting smaller!!!


    NM, where art thouest??? We miss ya and hope and pray you are okay!!!!!

    Kat--we have taken the kids to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville! We also LOVE the McWayne center in Birmingham. If you have not taken grandkids they would love it!!! It is tons of fun for all ages. They have a platform you lay on and then press a button and it lowers and you end up laying on a bed of nails! They have tons of other really cool science stuff to do and great demos and stuff too.

    Cyn, that is AWFUL! And that might be MOLD....*hello* didn't you say you have headaches???? That does not look safe and your air quality could be compromised. Does your landlord know it is THAT bad???? If that IS mold, it can be very dangerous. Thanks for sharing pics, it is hard to imagine how bad it is, but the pictures tell the story. Yikes!!!!!

    I was thinking the same thing! You can buy a kit with a petri dish and swab your ceiling and send the dish off for testing. It is pretty cheap. They test and send results as to what it is.


    Isn't their some place you can turn them in. That slum lord thing and all. Tenants rights, etc... There has to be someone you can call.

    Prob is, her bldg is up for sale, and that seems to be why the landlord doesn't want to do any repairs. Good idea about the petri dish! I hope she can do something too, but it needs to be done NOW, and I really don't know what tenants rights are and how to go about it.


    Cyn, why don't you do a search and see what the procedure is, when something needs fixing like this does, and can compromise your health, ok? Surely there is a way to make them fix it, but I don't know.
