    I'm back. My DD1 was real sick this ayem, so right after I posted here, she called and needed me to take my g'son to his class thats far away. Poor dear. She did make it to her rads appt, hope she did ok with that. Can't taste anything at all, makes it hard to want to eat.

    Cyn, yes I was skeered to try the circular needles, and didn't know they come in diff sizes. SO the only one I found in the needle size I needed was waaaaay too long----29" instead of maybe 12-16" long. So it got real stretched out and was very difficult because of that. I went to Michael's and 2 Wally Worlds and can't find anything shorter. I found youtube videos esp one by one lady, that were really good. If I can find the right length circular needle, I will work on doing it better. And she 'splained real well how to cast on, etc. I need to practice, as now my 9 yo g'dau wants to learn. Maybe I can try to just make a straight scarf for her Hitty doll. Oh, she told me there is a group that knits accessories for their dolls, called the "Hitter Knitters" or sumtin like dat! When I was looking for needles, this nice older lady started talking to me, and invited me to their church to knit with them every week! Good thing I have an excuse of not having time to do that, as I have toooooo much to do. Glad you are standing your ground with the boys. HOPE they listen this time. Cracked up over next time you will be talking to them from the OTHER side of the door! Just hope you are the one INSIDE. Yes, I saw the finale of Coven. Liked it! Didn't know next one is Circus. Is that in the fall? Also didn't know about Bates motel coming back on. I forgot now what the last episode was about!

    Guess I need to get more stuff done around here, looks like things are going to be bizzy for a long time. Got a letter from renter thanking us for doing so much and taking care of things so quickly...got it today...then just now she called twice and apparently the sewer line is backed up. Sheesh............

    Beansie, why delete your post??? Not fair, c'mon back and repost, ok???

    I think the AHS season 4 Circus is rumored and not confirmed..but I did see the Bates Motel commercial..Jodi's bf is the one who mentioned circus..I think its a great idea and I read that it could have something to do with Nazi Germany , also a good idea. 

    Kat..your poor DD...so much to deal with.

    Yeah..Beasie..come back :(

    Darling D, I think the drug you mean is Risperdal also comes under the name Risperdone.  I took this for two years after my last breakdown.  It is a powerful Antipsychotic drug that balances the chemicals in the brain and yes it can have serious side effects.  More so in the elderly.  However, in my case the benefits far outweighed the risks.  The only side effect for me was weight gain - more like being bloated.

    I am sure your dad will be closely monitored and his life will be a lot easy if he is not having all those strange thoughts. xxx

    Hi Everyone just peed, Like u need to know that. Yes u do.

    Dork when u'r dad leaves the hospital does he come back to u'r home or what is the deal.?

    Oh I'm sure Bernie is right Resperol is a drug for breathing difficulties. Resperidol is what Bernie said, the only maybe problem with that drug is u'r dad's age, for some reason the elderly seem to react differently when on it for a while, I'm sure it doesn't happen to everybody but it's a very confusing med for the elderly to stay on. They might just do it for a while to get him together. Don't be afraid of it, I'm not trying to scare u either, I just know on younger people it can be very useful usually. Drs. know this so I'm sure he'll be monitored regularly. My dad was on it, but after a day we spent at the races and my sister and I won a fortune, we realized we had to tell the Dr. cuz we never left his room, but we all had such a good time laughing and betting, then she called the Dr.In all fairness that drug had my dad going all over with us and we all had a good time till the races then we thought my sister should call. Prpbably cuz we didn't have any money that we won. My dad hallucinations were always so nice and fun it was almost a shame to take them away. And if u closed u'r eyes u were in some magical place with him, but we knew after a while maybe we should stop it and I knew that was the drug that was doing it so....

    Bernie I'm sorry u had to be on that drug u must have had a very difficult time. U've been thru a lot. U'r so sweet.

    Good morning,
    Loungettes!Temp dropped overnight,
    everything is sparkling with a coating of frost this morning, absolutely
    beautiful!

    Cammy--no such thing
    as a slow day at work right now, yesterday was a typical Monday, crazy,
    crazy!But I got through it.Another busy day on tap for today, but such
    is life, right? More snow coming here tomorrow, too.Like you say, same old, same old, rinse and
    repeat.

    BBBBBernie--why a
    new hat?A fancy hat or a functional
    hat?

    DorKable--Good thing
    you get paid for the day, otherwise it wouldn't have been worth while to get up
    and go in!Hope you got home
    safely.I'm not too jealous of Sadie
    getting to go back to bed, most days.SetfgedThat was Sadie saying
    "hi" right there.

    Wahine--OK, I'll let
    you off the hook for that med name for this morning.But next time you go downstairs, OK?Do you know what the rental is for other
    places in your area?Can you go without
    a lease, make it easier for her to move on in the next few months?Not sure about the details of all that stuff,
    not sure what's a good idea.Glad you
    are losing weight, I'm still reading about that diet and thinking about
    it.Eating often is a challenge for me
    with my work, but I probably could work out something.The no drinking thing is a concern, says the
    woman who hasn't had a drink since coming home from vacay 'cause she hasn't
    thought of making one at home since then!I think it's the idea that I can't that makes me want something
    more.

    CynCyn--Good for you
    for having a talk with the male adults you share space with.May then smarten up, and quickly!

    Wahine--Praying for
    DD1, can't imagine trying to have rads while throwing up.

    Red RH--sounds like
    2/3 of a great trip planned, or will you go on 3 trips?

    Aly--knittin' and
    rinkin', sounds like a good combo for funny stuff!

    DorKable--what's the
    plan after your dad gets discharged?Will he be coming home with you or going to a place with more help?Risperdal is a potent drug, not frequently
    used with the older set but it is used at times and can be very, very
    effective.The side effect profile is
    scary, but remember that most people do not have those side effects.You Dad is doing better on it, I say go for
    it.We use it in hospice care at times,
    when the lighter drugs don't work or when the behavior is dangerous, like your
    Dad's behavior was.If your Dad keeps
    driving off and/or threatening/abusing your Mom he'll end up in jail, that
    would be worse than some side effects that can generally be managed.

    BBBBbernie--good
    info for DorKy!

    CynCyn--Hooray for
    your and Dorky getting together!Pics,
    must take pics!

    Party at Cyn's.  So wish we all lived closer to each other.

    I'm a naughty girl - owe people emails - will catch up I promise.

    I love hats. Formal, informal, lampshades.

    Bloody freezing here, another massive storm front coming in this evening and then another forecast for the weekend. 

    Main gates to the field came down in the storm last night - goats have now taken over the garden,

    Sis is being nice, apologised for being grumpy - now why does that worry me. LOL.

    Thursday is the official DUE DAY for the aliens appearance.  I have had a cleaning frenzy so can't be long now then.

    Good Morning!

    Oh wow, Bernie, make sure you don't get blown away....that is some heavy wind! Be careful, ok? Will the goats be ok out of the fence?

    SO many meet-up....awesome!!!!!    Lori and Cyn and Julie's meetup is almost here, then Dorkie and Cyn and Julie, then Alyson and Red, then Red and Bernie....sooo cool! I am stuck here for awhile, so can't go anywhere (except quick trip to Dallas) till my DD1 is okay. But you all partay for me, ok??? Dwink lots and lots and lots!!!1

    Yeah Bernie, I wouldn't trust the sis when she is acting nice...hmmmmm....whats up with her? Hope the alien appears soon and that Sinead has a very easy labor and delivery, and the alien is just fine! Let us know when you can....the alien has a ton of Aunties here!

    NM, Oops, been upstairs and downstairs a lot, and forgot to look up that drug.

    Alyson, I tried to knit a small scarf for DD1's Hitty doll, but it didn't work. Tried to do about a 1" to 1.5" w and about 6-8" long, and all it did was curl over!!! Maybe I can learn a simple crochet and do it that way? Would it lie flat better if I do crochet? Or would it help if I have a dwink or two or ten first?? lol

    Oh Cami peed, YIPPIE!!!! lol, youse so silly. Jest love reading your posts though! Bet its still wicked hard with so many phone calls with this nasty weather. Hang in there girl, you are really doing well, AND you are getting a paycheck....yippppeeeeeeee!

    Yummy dwink NM.....love the name of it too!!!

    Chrissy dear, how is your weather there? Do you have any travels coming up?

    Alyson, the Bachelor will be in New Zealand next week...well of course they filmed months ago, but it will be aired here next week. So many places we didn't get to see....like the Fjords, Alps, and that boat ride through there, since the weather had turned so we weren't allowed to go in there. I can't wait to see what they show on tv. I loved it when they were in Madeira last season, as I could recognize so many places we love. Sure want to get back to NZ someday!

    BIG hugs to all,

    Kath

    Our Aussie threads get together is to be held in Auckland this year so I have lots of saving up to do.......lol........but the bonus will be that I get to spend some good face time with Aly .......woohooo!!!!!  The only problem is, I have to wait until the end of November!!!!

    Cami – Love your heartfelt story bout your Dad. My Dad lived into his 90’s and was having some fun senior moments too as he got older. Sometimes I see him now in my dreams, it is always so neeeeeet to see him and my Mom when they visit in dreams. Miss them. It will be 5 years since my Dad left and 18 since me Mom left. Miss, miss, miss them.

    Cyn – Hope U don’t have to move unless it’s better and on de Island. LOL at the heated discussion with certain grown men. So awesome you will get to see Dofy, Lori and Juliet Fun, fun, fun.

    And Red will meet Bernie? Awesome!

    DorKie – I was so glad too to know your Dad is doing better. That is so kool you will go to FL for a week!

    Wahine – Saying prayers for you DD1 and hope your back is better. I’ve tried knitting but didn’t like, I love to crochet though. For some reason, it is way easier for me. My Mom was a knitter and used de circular needles. She made beautiful things. She was so talented, even could make her own yarn from wool, she even dyed the wool first, then would spin it and weave it.  Wow, that tenant is something else. Glad you got a tank u, but now the sewer line??? Sheesh!

    Red – so kewl u will git to travel so much.

    SueBHoney – I saw Sue Bee Honey at the store yesterday when I was getting loaded up with cranberry juice and it made me smile thinking of you. Hope U R okay!

    GoldBug – hope you are having a good time. Miss ya!

    Alyson – I sawwy you DD’s friend  had to go thru that, same for my bro = FURB.

    Hayloooo Chrissy!

    Wahine – LOL at the jello, great pics!

    ((((Bernie)))) – I wish we all lived closer too. I’ve only met a couple women from BCO when I was in Washington. One lady lives in the same town so it was easy to get to meet her. I haven’t been able to meet anyone else yet, with the move and rehab of this cabin, my bro last year, work, and all the regular stuff, it’s been a crazy time. Love all your pics!!

    NM – We got a dusting of snow last night too – beautiful! - and it’s been colder which I don’t like but the worst is having a lotta clowds which make us have to use the propane generator more cuz not enuf sun on the solar panels. Ooooo, love the meeting starter DOTD, thank you!! Mine will hafta be virtual dough.

    Sawwy I pooped in and out yest. I was having a problem – duh.

    imageGot on to tell you bout my trip to the ER Sunday nite for a painful UTI. DH drove me to the ER which is bout an hour away at bout 11 pm when I couldn’t stand it anymore but the nurse said it would be too expensive (even wif insurance, which I have) so said I should go home and come back in the morning cuz it was not an emergency. Not kidding. The nurse said they would treat me if I wanted to but that it would be reallllllly expensive. We tried to get an estimate of cost but no one knew so I was told to keep a lot of fluids going and come back in the ayem. I’m not bitter, they were trying to keep me green in me pocket and they were very nice. So anyway, DH drove me back home and I was up all night dwinking H2O and peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeing every 10 to 30 min. Was very tired, but I felt better the next day (yesterday) so was hoping someone here would tell me I dint have to go see a doc. Now I need de dunce cap, but have pity on a fool. Finally I talked to a helpful nurse on de phone and aksd her if I could fight off de UTI wifout Aunt B. She said prolly nut. So after bout ten zillion gallons of water and 20 zillion peeeeeeees I stopped whining and drove mesef to de doc. I don’t have a regular doc since I’m new to these parts but now I do. Super nice doc got me in and out and all bixed up wif Aunt B. I aksed de doc if my bod could fight it off wifout med and he said prolly yes but it would take 10 or more daze and run de risk of it goin to de kidneys so best to take Aunt B. Blah, I really hate dis but it is wud it is. I got a better rest last night, but still dwinkin lotta watta and going wizzzz. Also dwinking cranberry juice. De doc sez something in cranberries, blueberries and lemons is good f dis problem.

    Well, sawwy agin, hi to everyone and hope you have a great day. Cheers!
