WHATS HAPPENING FOR FRIDAY
Today we cut, pulled, covered, and in general cleaned up flower beds and yard...getting things ready for the cold spell to come. Oh if anyone has a boggy area in their yard or farm or where ever. Or you have a big pond ...i have lots and lots of water iris that are very pretty yellow.. if you would like any I have lots of them just let me know,. Ok
We worked from about 9am till 2:30 straight thru and I was whipped. I told Joe what ever this is that I have it sure is making me weak...after while.
I don’t know if I have been getting in all of everything I need or not for the last 3 days ive felt woozy and thirsty, I know I have gotten in my water...i did 8 bottles of water yesterday and that is 20 oz each which is 160 oz wow but im real sure that I haven’t been getting in enough protein...well that stops today cause that is silly ....i have been getting my vits in , did remember those. Lol
Well today so far I have gotten in 80 grams of protein, 100 oz water, and all together in calories ate 1123 calories.....yea me!!!!
Got all of our property and person taxes paid for this year...so don’t have to worry about
that now. Need to get the tax papers now and file so we can get some of it back. If you are disabled like Joe is you get most or all of the property taxes back...would be a lot easier if we didn’t have to pay it in the first place. Seems silly to me.
Government maybe could get the new governor to change that when he gets in office.
After it got cooler out and we came in the house I spent several hours going thru papers in my file and taking out last papers and making new files for the coming year. ...getting organized lol yeah you should see around my desk , you would think organized for what ? a bon fire or something to that effect.
Made the best beef veggie soup for supper was really good. , used some beef tips we had and cooked them in the crock pot
MOSWEETIE::::: wow did you have the RNY and they had to do the whole surgery over again or what? Sounds like you are happy with your weight loss?
I like little towns best...where I live isn’t even a town,..lol and not a wide spot in the road either. Have a good time with the grandson ...they are special aren’t they
JANET:::::: have you heard anything from or about Susie???? I thought that Lynette was suppose to check on her but I guess she didn’t or hasn’t had acess to a phone or anything.
I don’t guess we got much last night except a little bit of rain. Nothing else that I could tell.
I sure wish you didn’t live in the land of the lost , I would come and help you with some things.. would loan you Joe too. Although he isn’t much help he can do more than I can most days..especially after this meds take effect tomorrow we go to see the fancy neuro doctor that had him do the mylogram....if he says he wants another one there is no way unless they put himn in the hospital and keep him for 24 hours after it.. I wont go thru that again.
Your crafts with Jon remind me of when my kids were little and I use to do silly things with them to pass the time. One year we made all of our ornaments for the Christmas tree. It was fun and was cheap too. Which was the idea. Lol
Cant wait to read your book, is it about the weight loss surgery or what
SHEILA::::::::sweetie I guess no one answered you about how to stop loosing weight because they don’t have that problem I know I sure don’t , I don’t know why some of you just lose it so fast and keep on loosing and I cant get this last20 pounds off if I cut it off.. a size 4 , good grief...but you are so short you can carry that off I think ,,,don’t eat junk but eat good and healthy, you don’t want it to start going back up the other way...
How about that show Survivor...they didn’t do what they expected last night did they.
BEV::::::::are you feeling better today? Sure hope so that isn’t any fun I use to have bronchitis a lot but thank God after I quit smoking and got that all out of my system I haven’t had it in a while...
It is weird to hear people say your so tiny or small lol weird. I know when someone will say something about how small I am I am always floored as what to say back. Don’t know but what they are maybe making fun of me or something.
You really do need to be taking in more calories than what you told me the other day you are getting in....jus****ch the carbs and go for high protein food ...
SANDY/SHANNON::::::: how is Sandy a nickname for Shannon:? The fire in the wood stove sounds warm and cozy....
Where can I get the Dreamfields pasta do you know of any place in Springfield that has it?>
Sure wish you could come down to the Christmas party but understand when you work.
SUGAR:::::::: welcome home...you should have hollered to Janet as you went thru Joplin or do you go that way?
Sure wish I could go with you to the show tomorrow , thanks for asking but I have to go with Joe to that Dr. visit. Wi**** were at another time but it isn’t
tThat is so sad about Marys daughter. T he mind is a strange thing isn’t it? Don’t know why some are blessed with a good working mind and others aren’t.
as much as she has tried to kill herself , she will succeed one day...i cant imagine living with that all the time.
Will talk to you tomorrow...have fun
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BLESS EVERYONE

Bbbbrrrrrr the cold is back, I was so hoping we'd skip winter and go right into spring lol guess thats sure not gonna happen. Don't really have all that much to report, we live boring lives lately lol Finally things have slowed down to where we don't have an appt. every day, we dont have to go any where now until Monday, Susan has to have 2 tests done in springfield for disability then I have a doc appt on weds to get my leg checked. It seems to be doing better, I keep the medicine gauze on it and change it twice a day, now if i can keep my legs from swelling a bit, dunno what in the world is causing that again. Doc gave me a prescription to get some thigh high ted stockings but I cant seem to find any place that will bill medicare for them, we found one place in branson but the place they order them from dont carry them in the size i need, geeze, I guess Im gonna have to save up and buy them out right, you wouldnt think stockings like that were so darn expensive, otherwise everything is going pretty good for us. Susan is getting excited about going to the wls seminar on the 24th of this month, I see the surgeon at the same time so that will be good, hopefully we can get her on the journey and it not take so long, even tho we are prepared for however long it takes cuz the wait is worth it all, it will really help her diabieties so much. Guess we're gonna have to start bundling up again to walk, Im just so not ready for winter this year, just seems i can't get warm when its cold out, I can only imagine when I get rid of the rest of the padding on my body its gonna be freezing lol, thank goodness for layers of clothes lol.
Well guess Im gonna go lay back down for a bit, I had to get up and turn the heat on to take the chill out of the air. Y'all have a good warm day!!!
Andy
Do the water iris have to have lots of water or can they be in a low place. I used to have lots of irises but I think most of them got covered up, I had some dark blue ones that I had really took care of and the other day I noticed he had raked some gravel over them so they are probably gone.
Went and picked up my grandson yesterday, we went to lunch and got grocery's did a little shopping got home fixed dinner then just relaxed and played with him,
Don't know if I will get my walk in today or not It is pretty cold, I just hate getting on my exercise bike but I know it is coming. If I go pick up Andrew I sometimes walk in the mall for an hour but its to far to just go walk and I always see something in the windows that I think I need to buy.If there is one thing I don"t need it is clothing my closet is running over into Fishys side.
Hope everyone has a great day
WOW what a week!! First off I don't wanna ruffle any feathers with this but here goes LOL!!
I hope you will all join me in praying for our new president elect!! No matter how you voted he is as he so elegantly put it EVERY ONES president!! I pray that God will lead, guide and direct him for the good of our country!! We are in such a mess he needs all the prayers he can get!! I am so thankful we live in a country that held such a ground breaking election, one that made history either way it was decided!! I hope this is just a first step in not seeing any candidate's race or sex just see them as God sees us all as simply his children!!

Jeanine
Good morning all, I just have a minute cause Im getting ready to leave to go to Branson in a bit, but wanted to get on and say HI and to let you know that later I have some great news to tell ya! But it will have to wait till later!!!
No good news on Mary's side Im afraid, her daughter was pumped full of charcoal to counter act the drugs but they did a tox screen and couldnt tell them what she had injested, said it didnt show anything...???? She was so out of it tho, she had to have taken something and it looks like the tox screen would at least show the prescription stuff that she is on daily???wouldnt it?? I was confused by that. Well I would really appreciate your continued prayer for her and her family.
Didnt sleep but maybe an hour last night, and froze all night long...Im going to hate winter this year. Andy I was like you and hoping against all hope that maybe we just would skip winter this year. I dread getting up and heading to the gym in the cold...but I definately will stick to it as long as I am able..
I didnt holler at Janet as I went thru Joplin the other night because I had 2 other gals with me that were gabbing all along the way...Sherri's daughters and they are such a hoot! They kept me laughing all the way over there. I really enjoyed my trip! I want to go back and help her some more and probably will try to go this next week.
Well, I gotta go finish getting ready to head out. Ill get back on later and see whats happening.
I sure hope we hear something soon from Peggy! Im getting worried and praying for all that need it. Susie, how are you doing this morning? Now, who's next up for surgery???? Cant wait for everyone to get it and start down this wonderful path.
Love and the LORD'S grace upon you today!
GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR
Just a quick note, have to get ready for a 2 hour dental appointment this am so will make this quick,
I just called Peggy's house and had to leave a message. So, maybe someone will call. I did tell her that everyone's prayers were with her and that we hoped she was doing better. I will let you know if I hear anything when I return.

Andy you gonna have to get you some long Johns the ones with the drop seat, do you remember them?, lol..but I know what you mean I get so cold, I crank my electric blanket up before I go to bed...
I guess I will get out and cover some flowers today, I cut them back but havent covered them yet, Jan I dont think I lost a flower you gave me..even the ones we didnt know if they would make it did..the red ( my mind just went blank) you know what I mean ..did come up, I'm was so proud, I wanna cover it good also I started some different colored seeds and got them big enough I put them out and they have got a good start so I will cover them...when you come up I want you to help me decide what to do on the one end of the house, its on the east side and dont get a lot of sun, I know I am gonna have to build it up and put some good dirt there to start, but maybe you will have a different idea...
I pray everyone is feeling better that is under the weather...
love ya all...vesta

Good BBBBRRRR Morning Jan and OH Peeps~
Prayers are needed for a few: Please pray for Susie and her recovery process, For Sugars friends daughter and her family-she needs help before its too late! We are waiting for an update on Peggy-lets pray that she is doing alright! Jan, Tammys granddaughter and daughter, Bev in KS, Angie (heylookitsangie), Deb Ds hubby-they are all sick-please pray for healing. Renee had an ulcer removed from her tummy area yesterday and it is causing her a lot of pain and is bleeding badly-please pray for her healing on that issue.....(she is going to her PCP today) Joe has an appt with his neuro surgeon today-and Barbara S a dental appt-lets pray that everything is okay with those appts. Lets pray for Jeanine and waterfall 9999, who are pre-op and are getting ready to join us on the bench this week! Lets pray that they have strength and peace of mind! Lets pray for Andy and Susan-that they both get approved for their surgeries...Also for Sheila and her healing, as well as her weight loss-we can include Sandy in that too! They are trying to gain some....Lets also remember Brenda and Dennis-Tammy has not had any luck getting ahold of them. Lori also had some prayer requests for her family. Thanks everyone! Im sorry if I forgot anyone.......you are all in my prayers!
Well, Mike called the company that makes his crossbow today (he emailed them Monday about his bow and asked WHY they dont offer an upgrade pkg like all the other companies do-as he LOVES his crossbow and has been impressed with it and its consistancy since he got it-BUT....when talked to different companies-they all offered an upgrade pkg-but not Barnett-who manufactors his crossbow). I took it yesterday and had the strings and cables taken off it-so that Mike could send it to Barnett to replace the arm-AND...when I took it in, they said the bearings were bad AND bent....so, MORE expense. Well, they had never answered his email-and when he called them today to talk to them about the price of replacing the arm-they said to send it to them and they are REPLACING IT FOR FREE!!!! PRAISE GOD!!! Thank you-to all who prayed about that for me! He just wasnt going to be able to hunt right now. Period. Not nearly enough money in the budget for a new crossbow right now. Im so thankful and I am so happy right now...Thank God, Thank God, Thank God!!!!
On the some-what subject of hunting.....we have had a MAJOR problem out this way with poachers. Did last year too-and between Mike, Vikki and Erik and some of our neighbors-they have called Jefferson City AND the local agent-I bet 50 times in the past 2 yrs-and NOTHING.....Last yr-in a 10 mile radius-we saw 6 bucks-ALL with their whole heads cut off! Just either in the ditch OR laying part in the ditch and part in the road-and 2 of them, were on the road right next to mom and dads property! The last one we personally saw-was one of the biggest bodies we have ever seen and we figured that there was AT LEAST 200# of meat....that could have fed a family for a very very long time!! PLUS-whats crazy is-within 5 miles-there is a butcher and they process deer and donate the meat to food shelters-so these jerks-they just NEED to be caught....They are out AGAIN this year! We figure that the same person OR persons-are responsible for also shooting in the ARCHERY ONLY conservation area at Tipton Ford where Mike had been hunting the past 4 yrs. Which is right around the corner from us-maybe 3 miles!!!! Well-2 yrs in a row-they were out there with rifles AND.....they had been stealing hunters deer stands-EVEN when locked with tow chains or what have you-they stole Mikes 2 yrs in a row and a couple of other guys 2 yrs in a row too-AND....with our address and such on the stand-so...they know where we live. ANYWAYS.....Mike wont hunt there anymore-and since they have already started this year-we called and DEMANDED that something be done-this is a bunch of crap-and they are out every single weekend-poaching...we can hear them and they are close-we KNOW where the shots are coming from AND caught one guy across the way-dragging a deer out of the woods-and he was carrying a rifle/shotgun. So far-only one buck without his head-BUT...thats not the point-the point is, its illegal AND immoral! So-when I called and demanded someone OTHER than the local agent OR Jefferson City-I was given 2 diff phone numbers and supervisor.....Mom and Dad, Mike and I, Charlie and Pam and 2 other neighbors have called them and they have come out and looked around-NOW....they are planning their next step. We have offered our property-as well as all our neighbors-as look outs. I hope they catch these jerks and TAKE away ALL their hunting equipment-their vehicles (yes, they can do that) and seize their property IF they get busted with all the stolen stuff and deer heads-they would deserve it!
Well, yesterday, Jon and I got were getting our shoes on-right by the front door and I heard someone pull up (BIG double window RIGHT by the front door). I look out and it was Carl....I was like-crap, Carl is here. Jon RUNS into the livingroom and I made sure the door was locked and walked in there to check on Jon and he was shaking and had little tears in the corner of his eyes-he said-Mommy, PLEASE dont answer the door since Daddy isnt home! WHY is grandpa here and WHAT does he want? I said-Buddy, more than likely, he has come to say he is sorry, but I am not going to answer the door or talk to him right now, because I am not ready to talk to him yet-so dont worry, it will be okay! He kept wanting me to call his daddy....Anyway-he left, without incident-thank God. I was so thankful it wasnt a minute later-or we would have been outside-of course, my driveway IS long enough that I would have heard/seen him coming and been able to still in get in the house in time-BUT....he was driving his new (used) truck-that I had never seen before-so I may not have gone in the house-but waited to see who it was. Jon was pre-occupied with Carl for the rest of the day!
Grandma (who lives at the end of my driveway) had stopped up to say hi while she was walking the dog that Mike and I bought her (4 months ago) when her old dog passed away abt 8 months ago...well, Buffy is a Pure Golden Retriever and is beautiful-BUT...as you can imagine-STRONG as an ox and getting big....Grandma is 82 yrs old and gets around like a spring chicken for the most part-except lately, with the weather change-she is affected-well, Buffy IS really smart AND minds her real well- She reminds me of the dog whisperer-really. At 4 months old-she had Buffy going out and getting the newspaper! Healing without a leash etc etc....when she walks her in the morning, she does have her on a leash-not because of Buffy-but because of all our strays and ones that dont stay on their own property etc. When she was talking to me-Buffy decided she was going to leave the porch-and she darted off-took grandma right off her feet-she fell-right into the air compressor and then into the half wall!!! OMG! She just kept saying-Im so embaressed-I was like Grandma!!! Nothing to be embaressed about-its NOT your fault!!! The dog stopped immediately when grandma yelled-but scared the crap out of me! Thank goodness she had a long sweatshirt on, covered her arms or she would be really scratched up...she had some nice bruising going on and is sore this morning. If you could send a little prayer up for her today-that would be wonderful! While Im on the prayer subject again-Uncle Jessie had surgery yesterday and I thought it was next Thurs-but anyway-please pray that he has a speedy recovery. He wasnt doing too well yesterday-and so mom and dad were up at the hospital until real late last night.....he will be in the hospital until AT LEAST monday-and thats with no complications....anyway-thanks for the prayers. Appreciate them.
When Jon and I got the mail-he got a package from Tammy and he was SO EXCITED! He ripped that envelope open like nobodys business!! She sent him a dvd about dolphins, some race car stickers and a BIG workbook-for his homeschooling. We didnt have that particular one yet! He was SO EXCITED! She wrote him a letter asking for a picture to hang on her fridge when we do our art and craft projects and Jon looks at me and says-Mommy, a picture just WONT DO! I want to make something special for aunt Tammy. Can I? Also-mommy, I NEED you to show me HOW to write-ALL BY MYSELF-THANK YOU so I can send aunt tammy a thank you letter. Mom, did you tell her I LOVE DOLPHINS? I said nope, I sure didnt. Its never come up. He asked-How did she know they are my favorite? I said-well, I think that the Lord put it on her heart and she listened to him! He said Thank You Lord and Thank you, Tammy!!! It was so cute! So-we are making a "special" thank you gift for Tammy and Jon has already filled a manilla envelope for her, with LOTS of pictures!!! LOL....Tammy, hope you have a lot of room on that fridge-LOL...... It sure took his mind off of Carl-it didnt come up the rest of the day and he couldnt wait to get everything done so he could watch the dolphin dvd-which he did last night!!! His SPECIAL dream-he will tell ANYONE-is to go swimming with the dolphins! He wants to do that worse than Disneyland/Disneyworld!! So-that was just awesome how it all worked out!! THANK YOU TAMMY!!!!
Well, we got MOST of the list knocked out yesterday and I have some errands to do today and its ALL DONE!!! YAY YAY YAY!!! We are getting ready to leave in a bit-so I am gonna get my responses done and head out.
**Jan-We have 2 stocked ponds and a Koi pond-so whenever I see ya-we will take some of those Iris's. That would be great. Thanks!
I have not heard anything on Susie. I had offered several times to be her angel and asked several times before that IF she had one and she never answered me-so I just gave up asking....I HATE not getting an update on our peeps! Anyway-hopefully we will hear something soon!
That Dreamfields pasta is the one I was telling you guys about-Its not at Walmart HERE anyway-but I get it at Dillons, which is also Gerbes OR Kroger. I have looked at Food 4 Less here too-and its not here.....IF you dont have one of those stores around you-let me know and I will pick some up for you and bring it to the meeting....let me know what kind you want-they have everything pretty much!
Yes, the book is about the whole journey-but starting before the journey. I have let Dr. Fearing and Natalie read some of the chapters so far and Natalie said I have a best seller on my hands! YAY! Dr. Fearing said that she really got a birds eye view of the procedure from a pts stand point and that she believed it would inspire so many people! I sure hope so! Thats my intention, because pre-op AND ALL of my life- I REALLY felt ALL ALONE in my feeling about MYSELF and my body-and so many things that have to do with the obesity.... Anyway-I feel real good about it-and I have since I started it! MAYBE....One day....you can say-I knew her then.....LOL....LOL....
Thanks for the offer to help-I do believe you would-It would be nice to live close enough to anyone to walk with, talk with-do things with-LOL.....getting lonely out here.
PLEASE email me and let me know what the neuro surgeon says about Joes back and test results. I am praying about it. Love you guys-Hope your feeling better too-been praying for your complete healing...Please go to the dr IF it doesnt go away SOON....K? Love ya and dont want anything to happen!
**Bev in KS-sorry your sick! Your in my prayers-hope you feel better soon!
**Sheila-I wasnt avoiding your ? about the losing weight or, gaining, I should say- I dont have a clue HOW to answer that!!! Maybe you could get with Sandy (shannon) she is having that problem too! I wish we lived closer-we could do for one another....MAYBE together we could make a whole person? NAH!!! LOL.....Hope work goes well for ya!
Loved your comments about leaving the lights off during lovemaking! Crap-I feel so much better about myself now-that it doesnt have to be completely dark like before!! He is allowed a candle - LOL (wink wink)....but NO BRIGHT LIGHTS!!! LOL....
**sandy-do you have a bread maker or do you mix the english muffin bread yourself? If its not from a kit-would you mind sharing the recipe? My family LOVES english muffin bread-and I would be willing to make it and give it a try......LOVE the smell of fresh baked bread!!!
Our gas jumped 4 cents the day after the election....hope it doesnt continue to rise-but think it will-ecspically with the holidays coming up! ARGH!!! Im so sorry you cant make it-it would be SO AWESOME to see you then!! Have a good weekend!
**Sug-Marys daughter is in my prayers! How old is she? Could they get her help? I sure cant imagine living with that fear everyday.....Im so sorry!

**Barbara-Good luck at the dentist today! Please keep us posted about Peggy and thanks for calling her. Love ya.

MOSweetie- I seen you live in LaBelle i use to run around over there, Loved the rodeo. WTG on your weight loss. Sorry to hear about your brother in law. Must be hard to set and be with. You're a strong woman. I pray God will work a miracle in his life and that he will give you peace of mind.
Barbara-- Hope you are doing great.How is the lap blanket coming along.I know she will love it.Most residents in nursing homes love those helps keep their legs warm.When i worked in nursing home i always made sure they had on a sweater and a lap blanket even in the summer.They get so much colder than us.We always picked one or two residents to buy gifts for at Christmas. And i always bought them flannel gowns,booties and a fleece lap blanket.They truly appreciated it.PLus i felt all warm inside for making them happy so was a win win situation.LOL
Sandy- Good reason to start a fire instove.I love the smell of homade bread cooking,Used to love eating it too.But won't be doing that anytime soon.LOL Gas here is 2.09 still but in Carrolton it is 1.94 i think gail said.Ya would think if some places can charge undr 2 dollars a gal they all could LOL

Janet-- What a wondeful woman you are and with so much Love to give. You prove that no matter what a ****ty life we have lived through that the cycle of abuse and being an ass dosen't have to continue. I tell people when they say well my childhood is why i am like i am,I say that is total BS. Just because yur childhood suxed dosen't give you the right to be hateful and mean.Your attitude is a choice you make.We an either wake up in the morning and chhose to kind or be haeful.It is our choice has nothing to do with anyone but us.Just my opinion.I love doing Christmas crafts it is so much fun. Think i will get Nikki some suncatchers to do plus think we will make some mice to hang on the tree they are so cute and cheap to make.Don't know who will have the most fun her or I LOL.Hope you got your list of chores done.This weather is really killing my body. My legs and kness are really bothering me and my neck and back are killing me,But gotta deal with it and keep on truckin LOL.Takes all i got to walk down the stairs and back up from the bedroom.Told gail i need an elevater LOL.Don't know how i will make it throuh winter cuz the cold really makes me hurt.
Jeanie--Hey there. Glad you are doing okon the liquids. Not long and you will joing the losers bench.Isn't that just totally awesome. After you get the rugs shampooed you take it easy.You are gonna need the strength.You are in my prayers.
Renee,Lou,Cheryl,and whoever else i missed. Hope ya'll have a great day.
Hope everyone has a happy,wonderlific {my own Word } LOL day.
Love and Hugs Deb
