WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY
It was so cold today that I wouldn’t get outside at all. Refused...i cant walk when it is that cold..couldnt yesterday anyway, hopefully tomorrow is suppose to be warmer and I can get out and walk ...i have been using my ab lounger when I cant get out and walk...maybe that is good anyway , they say to shake up your exercise program ..
I know my abs are sore lol I have cleaned just about everything there is to clean since I have been inside. Good grief , will polish the shine off the floor and appliances if I don’****ch it.
Been cleaning out book cases and other things . trying to make myself throw or give away some of my flower magazines. Don’t know why I keep them I don’t re read them..
Wonder why we do things like that???? Any phyc majors out there?>?? lol
Need to find a box big enough to put my desk top computer in it for my daughter. Giving it to her for Christmas. I guess. I sort of hate to what if my laptop fries. Should I keep the desk top for emergency back up?
My son took it to his house and cleaned it all out and reinstalled all the stuff that should be on it . nice and clean and ready to go for her and it isn’t too old and has lots of ram and memory too.
She has said she would like to do some college online ...i don’t know if she knows it or not but they charge more for those classes, that doesn’t make sense does it?
Wonder if anyone really reads what I type up here lol ....no one ever talks like they do L
Ok Jeanine where are you young lady , your mom is out of your computer room now so no excuse ....i may have to come and look you up ...are you doing ok? Any problems?
Hope everything is going ok....
BEC::::: you are so dedicated to your walking , I just cant walk when it is so cold it hurts my lungs to breath it and I get cold all the way to the center of my bones,. It actually hurts and then wont warm up for hours. Maybe if I get some of the insulated long jons that Janet told me about called under armour I could stay warm outside.
The pumpkin rolls are really easy to roll if you use wax paper....they are made thin and turn it out on wax paper that is coated with powdered sugar. Then you just roll the cake with the paper rolled up with it and cool it in ref like that when you take it out you just unroll the paper and cake at the same time and put filling in it with nuts and then roll it up again without the paper , since it cooled rolled it is easy to roll back up. I make one last year with splenda and no one knew the difference. I usually make several of these and give them as gifts. My brothers I give them about 3 or 4 apiece, they love them. And wont let anyone else eat a bite of them lol stingy .
The new salad sounds wonderful ...yummy. ...i write all of this stuff down that you all make and I bought a note book and putting them in it. I think I will buy a photo album that has sleeves so I can put them in like that.
You have so many good recipes...that you have fixed and all. I only know how to follow others leads, im good at following but not to great at making new stuff.
Keep giving us new things ok?:
ANDY::::::: Hey sorry buddy and my sister Susan, im sorry did you all go out and walk ? I just couldn’t make myself do it. I got all bundled up to come over and see if you all wanted to walk and I walked around in the yard a little and I just kept getting colder and colder so I went back in the house. Took me forever to get warmed up again.
I just used my ab lounger ...i looked on craigs list for a treadmill and they have some but most are wanting a lot for them seems like. And today would have been cold even on the back porch I think. Lol I guess we could sit it in the trailer and use it in there. Then if someone need to use the trailer we could take it out then. ...
I have a couple of videos too that I guess I can use when it is too cold out.
Did you get any more decorations up for Susan lol keep cracking that whip Susan. He needs to move it move it.
COR:::::: yeah girl only what 7 more days till surgery ....time is flying since we had our get to gether in KC at Peggys, and you were so down that you would never get approved and look it is just happening slap de do...
Yes im glad all my company has gone home...some you don’t mind if they stay longer and others seems like they cant leave quick enough lol I love Joes brother but he does get to be a bit much . lol there is a reason that he is 52 years old and not married. Lol
He is so picky that you would think that he was born into a rich family and had the very best all of his life .lol far from it.
So what are you doing to get ready for next Tuesday? I think you will have some vistors in the hospital, don’t be nervous, God has you in the palm of his hand and he wont let go...
JANET::::: was listening to the news last night and they were talking about a new procedure that is being done right now they take OP1 which is a protein found in our bodies that build bone, and cartlidge etc and insert it into the disc that is decaying away and it regrows. Wow that sounds outer space type stuff don’t it. Wonder how long it will be before it is done routinely ? did you ever get your other phone call you were expecting today? Did you get to call the pain clinic?
I know you are hurting so badly with this cold and wind...
Sweetie you cant judge that you are a bad mother because of Stephanie moving out. I know that you love her so very much the time will come when she will realize that she should have stayed. Where is she living now. Still with your mother? Yes I am praying for her , you and your mother. Also for your guys to get better. What did the doctor do for them today?
Honey if anyone has even a little bit of arthritis they can understand what you are going thru with it everywhere like you have it. So yes we are praying that you have some relief from it. If it can just be brought under control some will be a blessing. Hopefully you can find someone that can help...love you and are praying for you daily...
PEGGY:::::: that is cute , if I bite it , I write it lol . funny girl .did you get your Christmas decorations done today? I got some things done inside the house but nothing outside. It is suppose to be sunny and warm tomorrow so going to get something done outside. Brought my big grapevine wreath in to put more lights on it and a new bow,,,,it goes on the pitch of the porch about covers the whole area but looks good.
Yes Joe seems to be healing very well. The pain from the surgery seems to be about gone. He still has some swelling but is going down slowly. He is able to swallow better too now. I have trouble keeping him from lifting things tho, ....
Will be praying for your son....is he married or just going with someone that isn’t good for him?
SUGAR::::: Well wondered where you were . Girl sometimes you just need to slow down , and remember how to say that two letter word....starts with a N and ends with O....lol
Ha ha I remember mama saying that a lot , the winter dulldrums....i guess that is what is wrong with me too. Wonder what the cure is? Castor Oil? Oh lord I hope not
My problem is that I don’t have any thing that I like to do inside lol especially since I had this surgery and love working out in the garden and yard. I use to love to read but that was before I had a life again too. I have about 20 good books here that I haven’t read yet so I guess I need to get some glasses and get my eyes looked at again.
Love you bunches little sis take care. .
COLETTE:::::: wanted to thank you for putting different people on your prayer list and all you do You are always there for us at anytime you are needed. How is your hubby doing at this time.? I keep praying for him and for you dear friend.. we all love you.
Well guys I guess this is about all today...cant think of anything else and no one else posted so I will close : Remember that If you want breakfast in bed , sleep in the kitchen lol
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BESS

I haven't been on to much lately. I had my Grandsons for a week and a half. That was alot of fun. I took them back on the 24th. I miss them already. But they really kept grandma going all the time.It's a good thing I have loss all this weight or I wouldn't be able to keep up with them.LOL
My husbands brother is in need of some prayers. They found colon cancer so on the 21st they went in to cut about two feet of his colon out. Well then they found a leek so they had go back in and fix that and then they nicked his spleen. Well on Sunday the 23rd they called and said that he wasn't breathing on his own so they had to put him on a ventilator. So my husband decided to go up there.(Illinois)He is in the veterian hospital in Chicago. I didn't go with him cuz I still had the boys. He came back home on Thanksgiving night cuz he thought everything was gonna be alright and he needed to get back to work. Well on Friday they called and said his oxygen level had dropped real low and they didn't think he was gonna make it. So we went up there Friday night.They got him stable again but now his intestants are not working and he has pnemonia and still not breathing on his own. I came back home but my husband stayed up there. They keep trying to get him off the venilator but he just won't breath on his own. Tomorrow if he won't breath they have to take the hose out anyway or there is a big chance for infection so then they wiil have to trac him. So he is not good at all so please send Everett and my husbands family your prayers. He is 60 and has been married to Margeret for40 yrs. and they have two daughters Chris and Tracy.Gene is gonna stay up there until he comes off the breathing machine before he comes home.
I have been doing alright but I just keep getting in these stalls. I want out of the 250s so bad!!! I just don't know what to do to break it!Don't get me wrong I am very happy with the 118 lbs that I have loss but I really want to get to my goal of 155 lbs. You Know?
I have some of my christmas shopping done. I am almost done with my grandsons but haven't gotten anything yet for my sonor his wife. Have some ideas just have to go get them.We always go cut down our christmas tree. We have so much fun doing that. But I will wait until Gene gets home to go get it.We never agree on a tree Rob and I always like short fat ones and Gene likes tall skinny ones.Rob and I usually win.LOL
I know I don't address everyone individually but I do read every post and think about you all the time.
Are we going to do the christmas card list this year? That was alot of fun last year sending and recieving cards from everyone.
Well I should get to bed Hava alot to do tomorrow. It's kinda hard to sleep being all alone in the house. But I will be fine. Take Care and God Bless, Love Tammy V.
Dear Tammy,
I have your BIL, your hubby and you, along with all the family-on my prayer chain. I will be praying for strength for you guys in this difficult time. I am so sorry your going through this! PLEASE keep us posted!
I am very happy to hear you got time with the grandsons-I know you miss them so and love it when you get time with them! Was so good to see you here! Miss you when we dont see you for a long time!
All my love and prayers! Janet
Hello sis and all,
Now sis...are you feeling sorry for yourself a little bit..hidden at the end of that paragraph .....wondering if anyone really reads what you type???? You know that hundreds of people read your post girl! We would all fall apart if you werent doing this. You are like the mama bear and all your cubs would just wonder around in the woods looking for you if you werent here.
Some online classes arent more, and think what you save in gas and time going back and forth to classes. Plus you can do it on your own time.
Now Jeanine....ARE you just wanting us to come down there? Enough of us are worried enough about you to do just that. PLEASE post girl!
Bec, I agree with my sis...your recipes are great, keep it up. And how in the world do you find the UMPHfff to get out and walk on these cold snowy morns? eeehhhh, I hate winter. Have I mentioned that before? lol I just absolutely cant wait to see you and your girls on the 22. We are going to have so much fun and it will be a real blast to be able to spend some time with you. Ive really got to get busy and finish my surprise for the party. Ive already got the gifts for exchange that we are bringing so that is done. But boy do we have alot of other things to get arranged.
Janet, did you just read that. It will be here before you know it dear and we are running out of time along with everything else there is to do between now and Christmas. I think that is one thing about this time of year that I really dont like..feeling rushed all the time. It seems like when I get out of bed, my feet hit the floor running and the next thing I remember is laying my head down on the pillow at night....day done and only about 1/3 of the list marked off. Im emailing you in a bit with an idea..ok? Get back to me about it and let me know. Oh, the thing Jan was talking about the trials with the reginterating discs??? Try to find the article from the news and see who to contact about voluteering to be a quinnea pig for it. It might work and would help and you wouldnt have to wait for the treatment to be approved and all that. They have to do human trials before they can market it.
Tammy V it is good to read a post from you again. So sorry about your bil. That is such a tradgedy that so many things went wrong. That has began to be so common in surgeries anymore, that they nic something by mistake. Wonder why? Scary and so sad. We will be praying for him and the entire family.
Peggy,Deb D and Barbara, are you going to come down for the COF party on the 22? I sure hope there are several of you planning a trip down. If so, come early and let us know...you can meet us for fun before hand. If you girls want a place to stay we have a motel in Republic. That is where the party is going to be. I would put you up but my house is small and I dont have extra beds. I do have a sofa and a futon. You would be welcome to those. lol! Anyway, let us know.
Well, Im getting off of here and going to get my day started. Got a busy one again. Will get on and check everyone out later! Have a blessed day...
GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR
Good Morning Y’all,
Wow it was so COLD yesterday that we stayed inside all day. I did a few things around the house cleaning and stuff, gonna try and start putting the back splash up in the kitchen today, its really gonna look so good. Tomorrow we have a bunch of errands to run, been saving up going to town and get things done all at once. I have to stop by my PCP tomorrow, they scheduled my Cat Scan for Friday so I have to get some blood work done first plus pick up some barium to drink the morning of the scan, ugh that stuff tastes just awful. I did get a few more decorations put up, I came across our outside icecycle lights but not sure if I can get them put up on the outside, I have to look and see if there is a way to attach them to the edge of the roof or anything.
***Jan*** I tried to go walking yesterday, I made it the corner of Ediths house and turned around lol the wind was blowing and it was so cold it cut right through me. Yeah I was looking on craigs list yesterday too but geeze, what they want for a used treadmill you pay for a new one, ai yi yi. Im just gonna have to suck it up and get out there in the cold I guess lol all tho I think the fat on my body prolly froze and wont come off walking when its that cold LoL. Hey I might have a box you can have to put your computer in for your daughter, I think it might be big enough I’ll have a look. Holler at me if it warms up and I’ll go walking too, its suppose to warm up today but then get cold the rest of the week, ugh, is spring around the corner yet? Lol If you daughter wants to take online classes tell her to check into scholarships and grants, the classes I took for awhile online I qualified for federal help and had them all paid for. If I can get back on high speed internet Im gonna take more nursing classes again, you just can’t do it on dialup its way to slow lol, that way I have a lot of the classes done with and can finish what I need at College of the Ozarks in Branson, they have a great program.
***Bec*** I looked up on the HP site but cant find a manual for that model of PC, I know they have it on their site some where, I’ll have a look again. Also when we talk to ya on the phone I can walk ya through finding it on ya PC, most HP’s put the owners manual right on the pc, ya just gotta find the silly thing lol Yeah it would be blast to get to stop by your house when we go to Columbia, Im not sure you know what your getting yourself into LoL You be sure to post the recipe of the Christmas salad, Im like Jan I been saving all the recipes from the board, I have them all saved on word and just print them out when I wanna make them lol Im to lazy to write them all out lol.
***Cor*** Hopefully it’ll work out that we can stop by and check on ya when we go to
Well I hope everyone stays warm, Im gonna get this posted and see what kind of trouble I can get into this early in the morning lol. Tho I love this time of the morning, I love the quiet time you can spend with the Lord when its quiet like this, anyway y’all have a blessed day.
Andy
Jan the caster oil brought back memories, my Mammo thought if caster oil didn't cure it nothing would...lol
I would like to have the recipe for pumpkin roll, if it was on here I guess I messed it;;
Bec I sure wish we lived closer we would have a ball with our crafts...lol
I wished I had ask Barb to bring some of her knitting so I could see it, when we met in KC, we just didn't have enough time to visit. maybe next time we will stay in Belton and go from there, there is a wonderful motel there, it had a heated pool, flat screen, and very nice people, and for both of us it was only $56.00 a nite, and had great security...
Peggy I will let you all know ahead of time when we come back up, I want to meet you ...
We went over to Kansas city Kansas to see where we lived when Brenda was little, it was Muncie Kansas, and the place we lived was called Rainbow Village but we didn't find I guess it is gone by now..anyone ever heard of it? I know it was close to the Kaw river...
Everyone keep my daughter Linda in your prayers she goes Thur. to a specialist she has sleep apnea to bad for the mask, I guess her tonsils, adenoids and that little thing that hangs down in her throat has to come out. I have begged her to go to the doctor for that for a long time and finely I called the doctor myself and made her appointment and made her go so keep her in your prayers...
Everyone have a great day in the Lord....vesta

Could you post your roll up? Maybe if Andy has it on word he could email it to me?
I don't get my walking in when it is cold either. I did get the WII game and have been using it. It is so much fun. Maybe you and Andy could go into gether and get one? You could easily use it at either house. Very portable. Takes up less roo, than a treadmill would also.
No Christmas decorations up here yet. Don't know if I will this year,,,Can't find room for anything without moving alot of things and just don't feel up to that. I'm OK but I guess I have the humbugs this year.
Sure glad to hear Joe is doing better. I have been worried about him. Sounded like he was rushing things a bit.
Don't' have much news around here,, seems like each day is same ol same ol.

Need to go feed animals. Know I love you all and your all in my prayers for your individual needs.

Oh Stink... I got up late and now it's time to get out there and walk... how do I do it? You all keep asking? I truly don't know excpet the Lord has give me an unreal determination. I've never had it like this before so I know it is coming from him!
It was 24 yesterday and 16 wind chill and I was NOT cold.... a bit on my face but that's it. I wore long handles and sweats over the top of them. My sweat shirt is a hoodie and I wrap a scarf around my head before I put the hood up.... by the time I've made one lap I can even take my gloves off most of the time.
Mimi~ I might have a tredmill for you if you want it.......it's small and does not take up alot of room.... it's been in the garage for a while so don't know if the little meter works on it but I'll check it out... it was from sears and I have the paperwork on it... it's an older model... let me know if you are interested....
Ok got to get off here and get my walking done and get a shower and then I'll be back to have my protein drink with you.....
bec
