Littlegoats, Sorry about you goat. Comforting to have DH with you. If he changes jobs would it be with the same company? That would be nice to not loose time and benefits. VERY happy all that water is not near you. Did you read about that cattle drive through town. Folks came from all over to watch. It seemed like too long for Texas, but they report said it hadn't happened in that town for about 100 years.
Hi Foots thanks, prayerful thoughts your direction too

Spookie is that big rain thingy coming my way? The weather channel isn't to helpful. I have to drive to melbourne

Sassy - good thoughts for your biopsy results. No would be with the same company. HR dragging heels about posting job which is 1st requirement. Another guy wanting to change jobs, I almost think they might trade jobs IF HR gets off their collective hineys. He needs to be somewhat happy in his job, still has a little over 2 years until I turn 65.
Yes I saw pictures of the cattle drive. Disasters bring out the best in people. Have seen stories of horses boarded, a cat place boarding dogs from rescue facility. In Texas shelters don't stay open long, neighbors take in neighbors.
There is still flooding. Getting tweets just about an hour ago about a levee breach south of Dallas.
Try Weather Undergound. It has an OK looping radar. http://www.wunderground.com/
For that matter the weather channel online's is OK too

My bet is you're going to get something soon. Maybe not that big stuff over by Spookie. Hard to tell how fast it's coming your way.

Thanks LG's I was afraid that system was heading my way. Looks seriously nasty. First time in years I can put the car in the garage and I have to be out driving in it. Guess I'll head out early. Thanks on the biopsy.

I wouldn't bet on that big stuff not getting you. Just not very soon. Hopefully a quick trip

Went for a 3 mile walk with a friend this morning. Beautiful day today. It feels good to start exercising again.
Hey Rose!!! Hope today is a better day for you. I promise I won't try to practice medicine on any one TODAY. Starting last year I have been experiencing bone pain a few days before it rains and sometimes I get a headache nowhere near a seven though. It's interesting how the fluctuations in the barometric pressure affect our body.
Goats, no fun when things break down. Had a technician came by yesterday to fix our refrigerator that we bought 2 &1/2 years ago! We have the one with the freezer on the lower section. For the last few months we had to take out sheets of ice that built up on the bottom of the fridge. It's like a skating ring down there. We should have called them sooner since it's still under warranty, but I get stressed out when I have people coming to our house to fix anything or even to clean the house. So I end up trying to fix or do things myself with little success.I know I am weird. And I know what you mean about using public restroom when you have the run. My biggest fear is when I am on the road in another country especially in less developed countries where public restrooms are scarce and NOT what we are used to here and the sound of mini thunder in your stomach forewarn you of the coming storm...oh boy. You start to panic,sweat bullets, and start praying that you make it to your destination in time. Thank God I was delivered each time. Yes, yogurt bothers my stomach too when it's not behaving. Just looked up and saw your other post. Took me nearly an hour to write because I get distracted easily. Anyway, disasters does bring out the best in some people. It brings joy to my heart to hear that people are out there trying taking in neighbors or trying to help each other out.
Ms. Sass, hoping for favorable biopsy result. You have a lot of roller coaster rides

Oh Ms. Chevy, I got some Aloe Vera juice for my younger daughter Faith because she gets canker sores often from wearing braces. It helps her. I told her about you and she asked me "Could you thank Ms. Chevy for me?". So thank you
0 -
Oh THANK you! Yes, mix it in a smoothie! Add a banana with any kind of juice, and that flavored coffee cream! 1/4 C. of Aloe! It does wonders for anyone.... is also a natural anti-biotic.... I had a bleeding ulcer years ago, and I drank it 3 times a day for MONTHS, and just the first day I tried it, that PAIN was gone!
Hope you gals weather is okay.... just plain hot here.... have to stay inside this time of day..... Ha! FIRST it was the never-ending cold and snow.... NOW it is HOT! Almost 100 on our back patio!
OH! Get this.... See, I KNOW we are on water restrictions.... okay? So I set the rotator sprinkler for 1/2 hour yesterday.... I was going to shut it off before we went shopping.... Okay, that's right! I forgot! When we got back home I saw one of those tiny little puny "cars" out front.... I thought, "OH CHIT!" I turned off the hose, went and talked to the guy, and first thing he said was "You aren't in trouble".... This is just a note to remind you that you aren't supposed to water between 10 a/m and 6 p/m.... EVERY day! Like NEVER! Then he gave me a sprinkler, a gift from the water department, and told me I could hand water any day, just NOT between 10 & 6....
We can water 3 days a week.... And I do must of it by hand ANYway.... Bet I never do THAT again! I got so busted!
And Lilgoats.... I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for any of our pets, or animals.... I'm glad your Husband was with you...... I'm sorry.......
And one other thing.... I am so sick of this Bruce Jenner crap! And those pictures of him/her?????? Am I the only one that is just disgusted by the whole mess? The Kardashians are bad enough, but now THIS? Maybe I'm just too told for this..... but holy criminy! Eeeeeeeeeks!

LMG - Yep I had never heard of a redundant colon either until the GI doc couldn't get through 2x with the longest scope they had, then went for a virtual colonoscopy to "see" the rest. That's when I got my bone mets identified. My GI doc did a PET scan after that. So the IBS is really mechanical obstruction too many folds, twists and turns, gas/ stool gets caught, bloating misery and D/constipation results. Lovely. Every time I experience a change in water my bowels freak. I went to visit Hawaii for 10 days and spent 1/2 of it with horrific D and N/V. They have very nice bathrooms even public ones in Hawaii.. lined cans to puke in. It was not fun. One cup of Kona coffee the entire time I was there, I was so dissappointed! First time I went to Florida same thing, once in a while even up at the cabin the water will trigger the D. Sigh.. to have this and stage 4 just seems a bit unfair. I have lost 5 pounds letting my intestines rest on a UC type diet... I feel so much better. The barometer and head aches thing is real and doctors should accept that there folks who suffer when storms come in - too many of us for it to be ignored - right Spookie!!
Like you Sassy.. enough is enough! Hope the biopsy comes out ok. I insisted the skin PA take off a small weird mole on the side of my Knee in 09. Turned out stage 0 melanoma and they took margins - ouch! He wanted to watch it and I told him no take it off. No return so far. My Mom had a stage 1 melanoma taken off her leg too. There is a ton of skin cancer in my DH's family. His poor Dad looked like a burn victim with all the skin grafts. My DD2 had an atypical mole removed at age 15 with margins. It's nothing to fool around with.
I am so glad Texas cme together for the flooded victims and animals. It was like after Katrina and so many folks took the displaced animals for over a year, returned some and kept/adopted out others. Heartwarming.
Have any of you dried tulip bulbs, lifted them, stored and then transplanted in the Fall? I have decided I will lift all my bulbs in pots and store them. We have so many critters squirrels that eat tulip bulbs that I am hiding them. I just don't want them to get moldy and rot.
Hi Foots. Prayers of well being your way too! How is Faith doing? How is your breathing these days? Be well.

Chevy - yes I am also sick of the whole bruce Jenner saga. Oooh you got the water police after you.

Luvmygoats - sorry to hear sbout your goat dying.
I had an awesome day with ds2 yesterday. Like off the chart. !!! The nurse called and said my lab from yesterday showed my thyroid still too low. Increasing thyroid meds. I am relieved to know that's what has been causing my migraines not progression. Yea !!
Hootie hoo

just came! (The box, not me 😳).
Thank you Sass! Very pretty. Hope your bx is ok. Nothing serious!
Sorry to hear about the goat. Hope people with D are doing better.
Did I tell you that I'm going to be a great-g? The DGD that has to do IVF did, it took on the second attempt! Didn't know they were already trying. I haven't ask but his Gparents must have given them the $$. So the baby is due in February on my dad's birthday. Hope it's a girl. We have boys coming out of our ears.
Chevy, how can you guys be on water rationing with all that snow? And now it's too HOT? What's that, in the 80s

Imaging center called today with order for my next 6 month mammo, so that is now scheduled as well as the apt to see the BS in mid July. Seeing the MO in late July for my follow up there and also the next Prolia shot, which I scheduled awhile ago.
Funny how it feels like you just finish up with all the follow up apts, when it is time to go again. This will be #5 of #10 so I will be half way through the five years.

Thank you Patty! DH is better. He is a baby when he is sick. Don't tell him that.
Ms. Chevy, I'm going to try not to put my foot in my mouth about Bruce Jenner. I don't watch much TV. I get my news mostly from the radio when I am driving or when I check my email and yahoo supposedly "news" come up. I am old school. It doesn't make sense to me. It is just sad that he had to go through so much surgery, thus pain, to become a woman. It is something I will never understand. I wonder how his children really feel deep down.
Marlana must be at work today. Hope it's not too taxing for you
Congrats Great Grandma Smaarty! Wow and you are one year younger than my mom. I shall start calling you Ms. Smaaarty from now on

Not too often you can say Yay for low something but Yay for low thyroid. Go meds go for Patty's low thyroid!
Congrats Smaarty. Hoping for a girl for your family.
I know Jazzy. I had a couple of months break between appointments. Just got gyn and MO made for June and July respectively. Shopping for new optometrist. I get to be the guinea pig and try out a new one. Our old one BooHoo retired and neither of us like his replacement. I found one I think I can like but betcha she's more expensive. That's relative since I only go once a year. It's the glasses that's the killer.
Speaking of glasses I think it was Wren who has mentioned Zenni online in the past. DH ordered a pair of plain Jane (or lol would that be Jim) glasses, distance only for driving. He's very pleased with them $29 wowza. They fit me good but too delicate for my everyday wear. I lean over on the couch and sleep in mine, bang them on various doorways esp the goats (can you tell I'm a klutz?). I may buy there when I finally get my eye exam done. I priced at another place local "America's Best". $263 for basic model, progressive lenses. Hmm tough choice.

I have lots of plums this year. Top pic is my pomegranate blooms.

I get my eyes checked next week and plan to use Zenni again. The only problem I had was when I lost a screw, but found it right away. DH was able to fix it. He's always losing eyeglass screws and has a fix it kit. The big question for me is whether to do anything about my cataracts. They are definitely affecting my night vision, so it might be time to operate. I also see colors differently with each eye. Confusing when you're trying to paint.
I have always thought the Kardashians were a strange family and had never heard of Bruce Jenner before all this. I just wish they would quit talking about him. As someone who didn't reconstruct, I have to say he/she has good looking boobs. Wonder why our recons don't look that good.
Smaarty, Congratulations and I second your wish for a girl. Boys are not much fun to sew for.

Wren, I had thesame thought about the boobies haha. He has some fat from estrogenhormones and thicker chest muscle ???

Loveroflife- please send what ever those are on the tree. Oranges maybe? My sister has an amazing lemon tree in her back yard.
Luv- I have an eye apt too in July. I am just going to do the exam and not do anything new with glasses this year. I have several script glasses that are all working fine. My eyes rarely change.
I remember Bruce Jenner from his Olympic days. I forgot about him until the Kartrashians popped up. I will ask again, why are these people are famous again? I do get Olympians are famous for being star athletes, but the others? The Kartrashian father defended OJ Simpson, which I would NOT be bragging about. I find it amazing how much media coverage that family gets. I think there are a lot of other things I would like to be hearing about on the news. Sensationalism and all that jazz.....
I live in a very progressive community and transgender folks are very common here. I remember going into a store here years ago, and a man who clearly was transgender waited on me. I did not blink and eye. I just try to mind my own business most days.
Full moon yoga tonight. I will try to take a pic of our circle to share with you. She always asks who we want to bring into our circle during these events and you all are coming in with me tonight!

Plums, Jazzy. We have a lot this year. Usually, they are very sweet. The orange blooms are pomegranates. I don't have very good luck with my Fuji apples though. The worms get to them b4 we can harvest them. Would gladly share the plums with you...if only you are nearby. All of my neighbors whom I share them withlove them. Thank you for taking us with you to the full moon yoga....man, I still have the image in my mind thanks to Marlana.
Forgot to tell you that I really love the video clip of the golden retriever and the lamb. Showed it to my daughters and they loved it. That madethem want a dog even more now. We might consider start looking for one after we come back from Yellowstone at the end of June. My DD's idea. Her reasoning is when she goes to college next year, it will be very tough for DD2. The dog will keep Dd2 company. We will see

Pretty cool, another disaster averted. Wasn't to nervous till he knocked on the door. He's cool knows what's important. Says "It's okay". Then we talk. He got what the need to know was right away. We have a plan. I have confidence in him. Very cool. Very cool.Then I went and bought a microwave.
LOL I had to do it just that way. Silly. Kind of droll. Oh yeah----not going to cut off more lady parts. Then went on with life.

Smarrty, So happy they are there. I think you probably get what I was meaning about the lemon plate. Together it's like a childhood memory of our tea sets.

YAY SAS!!!!!!
Didn't see your weather ? Till now, been out running in the rain. Port flush, bought a TV(gasp) cable installed tomorrow. Cable comes with unlimited internet. Wooo
0 -
Spookie, I got a weather connection from Litttlegoats-----I'd suggest putting it on your phone it's a good one. Rain was awful for about 20 minutes, but went early. YOU bought a TV. So what has changed in your life that you are now going to watch TV?

Now those are plums worth eating. I have a few branches that look like grapevines. Clusters of tiny plums. My grocer had on clearance on the cutest plastic Ball jars for freezer jam. Hopefully I can make at least some peach. Not sure how I would peel/pit my 2 bite plums.
Wren - do you have trouble getting the glasses to fit your face? Eyemasters did very little when I got these, almost like they were afraid to touch them. My old optometrist office when I could last afford his opto shop services would bend, mold, work with them until I was satisfied. These that DH ordered were so very basic wire frames. Fit me great but sturdier wider plastic frames I think would have been tight on my face in the same size. How true do you find the glasses shown to what they actually are? His look identical but then like I said there's nothing to them.
My glaucoma doc says my cataracts are not near bad enough to do anything about. I wonder if lots of the dark/light adjustment I have is from the glaucoma/drops and not the cataracts. I drive very little at night, just no reason to. Once I adjust have no problem, it's the dark/light/dark like in/out with the dog.
HaHa Jazzy just read your note. Oddly enough I see distance better without my glasses, DH and I were comparing earlier. But reading, Oh Boy. These are 2 years old. I never filled last year's Rx.
Gosh I didn't realize Kardashian was on the OJ defense team. Now that you mention it I do remember him but remember Shapiro much better - he sell's Legal Zoom. Not a clue why the K's are famous. Not anything I watch.
I will look forward to going to full moon yoga tonight with you Jazzy. BBQ'ing chicken thighs.
Oh my Spookie gonna have TV. Yes inquiring minds want to know what was the deciding factor. DH just got Amazon Prime so he can watch free movies and get 2 day shipping. No Kindle, Ipad etc. in this house. I fear my satellite may be on the chopping block and wonder if that's the 1st step. I love my hockey and car races.
and and and doing the Happy Dance for Sassy. Yahoo!

I had to laugh at the womanly Bruce to Kaitlin... she has very good reconstruction.. how did they do that? I wonder what all these foreign hormones will do to him. He made the evening news.. incredible. It must be very strange to gender reassign. His kids must not know what to say... "Dad" or "Mom?" It's his business. What puzzles me is why is he singled out for the news when there are so many others?
Good luck with the glasses. I just got transition lenses and titanium twistable frames, no glare for my DD and it was only 155 at Costco. I had a coupon -what a deal. They turn nice and dark DD just loves them.
Lovl- your plums look great! We had wonderful oranges and plums when we lived in Sacto.. miss the fruit in california. Here we have cherries and apples that are wonderful in Oregon and berries. Right now the cherries are just blushing over and the apples are about the size of apricots.. got a way to go yet. Glad your DH is better.
Patty- in answer to your question right now I am taking a med break. I am not allowed to try the drugs I want to try and I refuse to take the harsh ones, so we (onc and I) sit and stare at each other. It's a game .. only I won't blink and I am not doing anymore scans. My cancer is slow growing or I would be dead by now. I don't feel good when I take the meds and I don't feel good when I don't -so it's pretty much all the same. I mean Blondie isn't doing anything either and she's still here. Kind of amazing isnt it? Glad you are better and your thyroid meds will be increased. Hope you have a great summer.
Yay Sassy, every 6 months is doable.. Yay Smarty for the new Great Grandbaby... daughter you hope for. When I was in Florida you all had one Biblical rain storm.. I couldn't get off the freeway fast enough. They drive like fools 65-70mph and it's raining sheets of water and you can't hardly see! Those are some storms..something to remember, but not to drive in.

Now now Rose. It's only a bit of rain. Nothing to get excited about.
Why the TV? Because I got tired of paying WAY to many $ to ATT for 10 g Internet, and we'd run out before the end of month. I'm on data right now, probably run over tomorrow. DD told me about this, from Brighthouse. Cable and UNLIMITED net for under $100 monthly. Will save me about 40-50 a month. I want the net, don't give a chit about the garbage on TV.
So if I'm paying for it, I'm going to watch it. Probably on CC, can't have it loud. Checking into wireless headphones. Went to Best Buy, found a 19" flat screen for 99.
AND I'm out of contract on my phone as of yesterday, so Best Buy also has the iPhone 6 for basically free. I'd have to switch to Verizon for that, if I can get a cheaper plan, I might do that. Will have to be equal, or better and cheaper. I don't want much!!' I do LOVE my iPhone.
