Common Ground Coffee House #108

Goodness gracious! Are passing leaky porch roofs around?

Too bad for the spider that you weren't here earlier, Surfer Joe, you could have taken care of him for me. If I see one, it's the shoe for sure!

I'm back cause I'm waiting on Chris to get it together enough to go to school for a while. Sigh. The poor kid took another fall yesterday and this time busted up one of his knees. I'm not sure how concerned I should be. It is a bit swollen and he is limping and says it hurts, but he can walk on it. He's going to have a nasty bruise, too. Strange thing is, he fell on ashphalt and skinned the knee up, but it didn't tear a hole in his jeans. He says he doesn't know how that happened either!

 

Good Morning Everybody,


It is 54 and cloudy here, headed for a high of 58.


WOW!!! Where is that dancing banana when you need it?


Sue: Great news about the roof. As far as your insurance company goes I'd thank them for all their help after you've supported them as long as you have. I'd say you're definitely not "in good hands."



Gayla: Praying for your marker results, and for DH's surgery.


Cuz: You actually killed a spider? That would have sent my Wife into cardiac arrest. Maybe he was just inspecting your handiwork so he could copy it into his next web, and you go and splatter him all over the wall.


I brought in Sausage Scramble, Oven Breakfast Hash, Skillet Sausage with Potatoes and Rosemary, and South-of-the-Border Quiche Squares. Enjoy.


Not much going on here today. I'm still fighting my allergies, but I think they're mounting an offensive.

 

I feel somewhat neglected. No roof leaks and I actually like the purpose of spiders in this life. When tree fell across the roof of my village house, the insurance did not apply because it was an Act of God, as defined in the Insurance Act....It cost me $800.00 just to have the tree removed....it wasn't even my tree!

It rained cats and dogs all night long, and I couldn't even rescue the poor animals!

Other than that, everythng seems to be falliing into place. Oh right, I was even invited to pastor a small Baptist Church some 30 miles from me. I declined, but it was nice to have the invite...their pastor is retiring....lol...I have been retired for 15 years! and they invite me,,lol.

Cheers everyone and enjoy your day.

Jim

 

Good morning all,
We didn't get any rain although it did cool off a little bit.
Sue: I am sorry to see your fence torn up but the new windows look good.
I killed a spider by the baby neice's bassinet this morning. It wasn't very big but none the less. Speaking of which I had better go she is staying with auntie for the day and thinks it is time to eat again! Y'all have a blessed day.
:godisgood:

 

Of course I didn't splatter the spider all over the wall, Rob. I knocked it off the wall first and splattered it all over floor!

Jim, I like spiders just fine so long as they are OUTSIDE! Hanging over my head in a doorway is not the proper habitat for a spider.

Sue, your poor fence! I have a chainsaw that would take care of that branch (here the city picks up stuff like that). Too bad I live so far away.

Yes, I know I'm supposed to be working.....

 

Is it chilly in Anchorage....my dear mother is flying over there (I shudder at the thought of 24hrs in aeroplane) to totter about Alaska and parts wild of Canada. She is a spry 75 yr old who adores travel, saves her pennies and will have a ball.....

Me, I was off to have a chat about lap banding surgery....I am very fat and it is seriously restricting my desire to fly. It is mild in Brissie even though it is Autumn, the dams are down to about 10%.

Sue I love you clean winders.....I hope you all have a fabulous day.

 

Hope your mom has a grand time, Briony!! It's great that she like to travel!

Ann--I hallucinated only once, when I was given pain meds after having my wisdom teeth out. I saw racoons in my bedroom! That was scary! LOL

Sue, I'm sorry about your fence. But your yard is so pretty and green! Hope they get it fixed for you soon. Love the new windows, by the way.

I'm off to work in the yard. Se ya'll later.

 

Common Ground Coffee House #108

Good morning all,
I am enjoying the lovely spring weather today. It is only 70 here at the moment. I am not sure what the high is supposed to be. I haven't checked the weather. Dad is scheduled for another surgery Tuesday. They are going to remove all the infected tissue, a bone spur and do another biopsy to see how much infection is in the toe.
I had better go, the youngest nephew has a play at school tonight and I need to get some housework done so I can go to see it. Y'all have a blessed day!
:godisgood:

 

Good morning all! It's been cool here and rained some the past few days. We expect a cool 65 degrees for the high today. BRRRR!

Islandgirl, praying for your dad's surgery. Please keep us up to date on his progress.

Sue, good luck with those decisions!

Ann, enjoy your seminar.

Our oldest son returns home from a business trip this evening. Long drive. Please pray for his safety ... thanks!

HAGD! :wavey:

 

Good Morning Everyone!

Whew! Yesterday was hectic! 6th grade field trip and with Chris being so sick I had to chaperone. The place we went, McWane Center, was crawling with kids cause it is end of the year field trip time. Chris did pretty well considering all the noise and activity going on. We got home and he went to the church with me for smocking (we ended up not smocking!) and just before we were getting ready to go home, he told me he was cold. I didn't pay much attention because I was little cool myself. Got home and noticed how bright red his cheeks were and decided to take his temp: 101.8! Says his throat hurts and he has a little cough. Guess where we're going this morning? Poor kid can't get well from one problem before another one begins.

My walls were grateful, Rob.

You figure it out, let me know. During our recent adventure into new heat pump shopping, I chose my company based on how prompt they were in answering my questions and being where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. I had to pay them a little more, but they were well worth it.

Before you make any decisions on flooring, Sue, consider how easy it will be to clean each of your flooring choices and what will happen if they get wet (heaven forbid you have another leak out there). I'm not sure what you mean by kitchen carpet (people put carpet in kitchens? ), but I'm thinking if you are going to do craft type things out there that vinyl would be so much easier to deal with. I know how much I hate trying to vacuum around my sewing area and if I'm using glue or paint, I better not spill any on this carpet! I'd love to not have carpet in here.

Gotta go get ready for the doctor's office, see ya later if I can.

 

Cindi my mother has carpet in her kitchen and all 3 bathrooms. She even has carpet on her patio:BangHead:

Today isn't going to be the relaxing day I had in mind. I have to take Amie and Todd to the dentist for a cleening. At least I will not have to take any of the kids back for 6 months.

After the dentist trip I have to go to the church to get a dress finished for a baby shower this weekend & start all over on another dress that I had almost done. I cut the skirt too short. Now Anna thinks it is her's...so it I will just start over:tonofbricks:

Jeremy will be leaving for MN tomorrow if all goes well. On one had I will be happy cause it will mean more money for us...but...I don't want him to go cause the only times we have not been together was for me to have a baby...he is there for the main event and then comes home to the older kids and when we moved to CT the kids and I were there for a few weeks without him. Anna (5 now...2 at the time) will still tell him she didn't like him being gone! LOL this should be fun

hope you all have a good weekend!
Tanya

 

Hello!:wavey:


Dr visit Wednesday went well. The tumor-marker went from 65.2 to 65.0. We seem to have reached that expected plateau.
The bone scan showed no change in the spine. PTL!!!!
They did point out the degenerative something-or-other in my knees. And a spot on a left rib that looked "post traumatic". After thinking for a little while, I do remember sometime in January or early February when my side was hurting quite a bit. Guess I'd cracked a rib somehow. Could it have been caused by carrying a heavy tote bag?

DH is having carpal tunnel surgery next Thursday. The DR said that after 2 weeks he could probably go back to work with light duty restrictiions for 3 to 4 weeks. The work place says you don't come back till there are no restrictions. STD, which is about half the refular pay, will start about 2 weeks after surgery, and last for up to 13 weeks. He should be back at work by the middle of July. Can you say "tighten the purse-strings?"

 

Strep! I hate strep! Yes, that is what is wrong with Chris. Poor kid makes it back to school for a couple of days and someone gives him strep.

Gayla, what does your husband do that they don't want him back on light duty? T's office would think light duty would be just fine (anything to keep him at work! )

I'm off to fill Chris' prescription and take one of our poor guinea pigs to "play" with Jenna's class. See ya!
