Is that "code" for pizza???

I'm exhausted just reading that! Good for you, but don't overdo it!

Keep this in mind as you progress through the next two weeks.....and lean on HIM for strength every day.

Wash your skin ASAP and stay out of the sun for a few days.

Am I missing something? Cause I think the post is missing something........like a link!

We have a huge herd or flock(?) of Canadian Geese that have taken up residence in my town. They have been here for years and I don't think they will be leaving anytime soon. Unfortunately, they poop everywhere: at the outdoor museum, both cemeteries, and the local swimming holes. Just recently the authorities had to issue an e-coli precaution for one of the local lake beaches which they believe was the result of goose poop! Authorities have asked the public to NOT feed them as it just increases the amount of poop they produce!

Yes ma'am, I still do!!! I prefer it over my "smartphone" cause my fingers are too big to accurately type on the "keyboard" thingie on the phone! Plus, I'm at home most of the time and my WiFI internet access is much cheaper than any cell phone plan out there!

If you can't see the pic, let me know and I will type out the contents. Otherwise, enjoy!

Can't wait to see that picture!

Kappy- I like the idea of the doggie runway/raceway for rainy days! I kinda, sorta, can do the same thing with my dog in my apt. It's not nearly as long as yours but it doesn't seem to matter to her as she can jump on the bed at one end or the stuffed chair in the living room at the other. (I get her to chase a laser light)

Let's have a par-tay! What's a par-tay without food and drink!!! And some music...............

Our Sears store (in the mall) closed about 2 yrs ago, but we still had a K-Mart; until this year that is. It has been in "close-out" mode for the last 6 months or so-not sure what the final day is, but I am pretty sure it will be rather soon. What I don't understand is how a long-standing company like Sears & K-Mart can be going out-of-business while we are getting new stores like Kohls.

Mt Rider..... Are you familiar with this Newsletter? https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/ I came across it because my sister posted a link to a blog entry from there about parking in Handicap Spaces. https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2018/02/07/multiple-sclerosis-patients-sometimes-need-disabled-parking-carded-costco/

You don't have to be "doing" anything for the heat to sap it right out of you. Just wait until the humidity kicks in.....it will kick your butt.

I was curious about the differences between a pacemaker and a defibrillator, so I looked it up: Also, here is a link to a site that has a good explanation of your condition: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/brugada-syndrome/

Mt Rider- Every once in a while my DH would decide to take the "scenic" road home from the valley to the ridge where we lived. It too was a narrow winding road with granite on one side and a drop off to the valley on the other. In Calif traffic driving UPhill has right-of-way so every time we would approach one of the blind turns he would slow down to almost a stop and beep the horn to "warn" others we were coming. Not everybody "got the message." I was sooooooooooooooo glad HE was the one that was driving!

I learned something new! mordant (noun)- a substance, typically an inorganic oxide, that combines with a dye or stain and thereby fixes it in a material.

Thanks everyone. My oldest son surprised me by coming up after work and we went to Round Table for dinner. Then he spent oodles of time trying to figure out what was wrong with my "smart phone" and fixing it for me. He wound up doing a "factory reset" on the thing which was no big deal since I bought the thing mainly because I wanted to use the camera function to upload pics via my WiFi, NOT because I needed the cell phone part of it--I already have a prepaid "flip phone" that I keep with me for emergencies.

Yep. Following in the footsteps of the great Jack Benny, I'm celebrating my 39th birthday for the 27th time!

........to ME! Have a slice of cake and a cool beverage with me as I celebrate my (guess my age) birthday.

Wowser. That was a lot to catch up on! A few comments: 1. Miki, an "event monitor" for the heart is called a Holter Test. You are supposed to make a note on a paper log every time you "feel" one of the events they are looking for. That way they can match your event log by time and date to the ECG readout from the monitor. (Ask me how I know. ) It is normally worn for 24 hours but sometimes they like to monitor you for a few days. A Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart's activity (ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hours or longer depending on the type of monitoring used. The device is the size of a small camera. It has wires with silver dollar-sized electrodes that attach to your skin.Jan 5, 2018 http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/HeartAttack/SymptomsDiagnosisofHeartAttack/Holter-Monitor_UCM_446437_Article.jsp 2. Ann, as I have recently learned, a pacemaker is used to prevent your heart rate from dropping below 60 when they give you meds to slow it down (say, from 180). 3. Kappy, I watched a few episodes of a '"reality" show where a couple of guys paid other people to allow THEM to fell trees on their property! Imagine having someone pay YOU to clear YOUR property instead of the other way around. They were looking for knots, not sweetgum trees, but it COULD happen! 4. Ann, you know we need to see pics of that awesome sprinkler system you rigged for your mom!
