    Hi Barbara,
    It is not unusual for a baby to run a fever after getting their shots. My grand kids use to do that also. They also said to put a cool rag on the injection site. We use to do that and give them baby aspirin. That was so nice that you took Sarah a meal and let her take a shower. She really really appreciate you coming over. She does not sound like the type of person that would tell you though. It is nice that both set of parents are coming over and helping. She will be feeling more comfortable as years go by.
    That was so sweet that Jerry said that. He could not have expressed his love for you any better then that. I guess we all know that our husbands love us it is just nice when they let us know like Jerry did. That is good that you calmed him down.
    They are going to put me under when they do this. One time they did this I woke up and they had to give me more to knock me out. I got really sick that time. I forgot to warn the doctor that sometimes I get sick when they do that. I will have to tell him on Wednesday before he does the procedure. I really like this doctor he is really good. He removed a cyst for me one time. He did a good job and I did not feel a thing.
    I hate when I get up early and cannot get back to sleep. There is nothing to do at that time of the morning. If you start to clean it wakes our other half up. So you have to do something that is quite and not disturb them. Now if Ron gets up and cannot go back to sleep it does not bother him to wake me up and keep me awake. lol I am getting crabby so better end this.
    Have a good night

    Hi Adele,
    I am not receiving notices either. I thought that maybe everyone decided to not post today. It is good that I looked on here to see. I wonder what is going on with this site now. We may have to let them know if it continues.
    They will put me out when they do that test. They will fix anything that they find wrong. I am hoping that they do not find anything but my stomach will be fine after they do the test. I just keep losing weight. That is what is so weird. Well I am not eating like I use to though either. It would be nice if I can keep the weight off after they find out what is wrong.
    That is great they Gary is doing better and they will take the stents out liked planned. Will he have to stay in the hospital at all after they do that or will they do it as an out patient? Will keep praying for him and everything will be okay for a long time this time.
    That was good news that you do not have to replace your oven. I am glad that they got it all cleaned out and you can use it. It is a pain when you have to wait for a long period of time for them to get a new part or to get a new stove installed. That is good that you have that plan until 2018.
    Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

    Hi Gail,
    Thank for the prayers. I really do appreciate them. I really do believe in the power of prayer. They can work miracles especially if there are a lot of them. I pray for everyone all the time like all of us do on here. We do make really good prayer warriors.
    I hope that the back shot helps Greg a lot. The always want to do those things early in the morning. Hope he plans on taking the day off from work that day and does not try to go in after he has the shot. It is good that you are there to take him. He probably would not go if you weren’t. If he is like Ron he wouldn’t.
    The Cubs won tonight didn’t they? Ron was watching the game until the Cubs start winning and then he turned it off. I told him again that we are rooting for the Cubs but he isn’t listening very well. lol I am not sure who he wants to win he has not said. He is just being contrary and not rooting for the Cubs. They will make it this time. I have a good feeling about it. Sports never use to run into each other like they do now. Baseball season is still going when football starts.Ice hockey is going will baseball is going. Remember when there use to be a break between each season. Now there is none at all.
    I am glad that the kids are feeling better. It is hard when they are sick they are so sad. It is hard to watch when they just lay around and do not do as much as they usually do.
    We will be praying for Greg also. Hopefully this shot will be the one that stops his pain. I hope that DD is okay and lets us know soon. Those storms can be terrible.
    Have a good night

    Hi Ladies,
    They sent me to a specialist today and he is going to do a endoscopy next Wednesday. I really do not want to have this done but it needs to be done so will have to quit whining and do it. They said that I will have to be there early probably around 6:30 am. So I should sleep really good when I get there. If they find anything that needs to be taken care of they will do it right then while they are down there. They give you a picture of the tool that they use and it looks too big to go down your throat. I guess in reality it is smaller then it shows so you can tell what it looks like in the picture.
    DD do they have a place for you to go if the winds get too strong? Just like Barbara said get into a room with no windows. They say the best place is the bathroom in a bathtub. I do not know if I could do that though. I want to see what is going on. Just be safe and get to safety if the storm is coming your way.
    Adele, How is Gary doing? I hope that he has gotten rid of his infection and is drinking water like he should. After our kids are grown we have to be moms to our husbands. If you put the hot lemon in the oven you do not heat it in the oven you heat it on the stove. Then set it in the oven. The steam will help with getting rid of the smell. Did Sears come and look at the stove today? I hope that they fixed it right away and you do not have to wait for them to get a part for it. You would think that they would have parts with them in their trucks.It is a shame that the do not think of that.
    Gail, I have heard that cherry juice is really good for a lot of joint pains. Ron took that when his hip was hurting him so bad. He said that it is not hurting him like it did. The Cubs are really doing well. I hope that they win this year. It is the Cubs turn to win the world series. Ron is not saying anything to me about who he wants to win. I told him that we are routing for the Cubs and he did not say anything. So we will see how he acts when they win.Brent will be happy to get that Cubs shirt. I hope that his girlfriend is doing better now. I wonder if she let that pneumonia go for too long before she went to the doctor. It can be really rough on people if you get it. You were lucky that it did not get any worse when you had it. How is Lachlan doing now? Hope that he is over the strep. I always think about Kendall. That is so sad that she get sick like that during the school year. Wish she could find a way to handle the stress.
    Barbara, It is so hard to burn things on the stove. I have not had one of those glass top stoves. I always have gas stoves cannot cook on an electric. It is hard to cook on one of them. It is too easy to burn things on them. I guess I have always used gas so am not use to cooking on an electric one. The place where Jerry’s mom is staying is really nice. That is so nice that they have all those activities. His mom will make friends before long. She will see these people all the time and they will start talking and doing things together. Even if it is just walking to bingo together. They really keep everyone busy there. That makes a big difference. We made the same mistake and did not build a storm shelter. You would think with all the storms that we have we would have thought of that. Oh well if we blow away with the wind we blow away. Maybe we will go to Oz,lol
    Gail I hope that you find your cook book. This is a mystery. Did you lend it to Jenny at one time and forgot about it? It will show up when you least expect it.
    DD I love all the pictures that you have been posting. The ones with the pictures are sad. Those poor people having to do all that clean up and get their lives back together. You just take care and find shelter if one is coming your way.
    Have a good night everyone.

    Hi Adele,
    You really need to get something on Bobby so you can tease him. Then maybe you can call a truse. Kids can be so mean to their mom’s lol I am glad that the smell is not in the house any more just in the oven. Have you tried putting lemon juice in the oven? That is what I do to my microwave so it does not have odors from the things that I heated in there. You just have to get it warm. It would be worth a try.
    I would put a pitcher of water on the sink in the kitchen. Tell him that he has to drink that before he can drink anything else. My mom’s doctor did that to her because she was not drinking enough water.We had been telling her that for awhile but when the doctor told her she listened. Maybe that would help. Maybe you could get his doctor to tell him to drink that much and he would do it then.
    I think that Snoopy and the Great Pumpkin comes on next week. Will have to start watching for it. I love to watch those shows. Our Snoopy gets into as much trouble that he can. He drives me crazy crying at night. That can be a real pain. He has his stuffed animal that he sleeps with and is happy with it during the day but at night he has a fit. It will get better I know but when will that happen.
    I got that post from Brenda also. She was not happy that the tops were so long. She must not have understood about a tunic. It is hard to find one that is not that long if you are short. I am like you the more my top will cover the better. Sometimes I would not mind if it came down to my knees. Maybe she will start chatting with all of us.
    Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

    Hi Gail,
    If I was riding in the mountains and said something to Ron he would just laugh at me and make it worse. He has no sympathy for me when he knows that I am afraid of something. He is such a trouble maker.lol
    I will tell them not to use fabric when they dry those blankets. I have a couple of blankets made out of that material so will warn them. They may also have some like it. I cannot wait to get them. I am really excited. I will get to keep one also. So that worked out really nice. I may wrap one up and put it under the tree for me. lol They really looked cute.
    I cannot believe that right after Christmas Aliza will be one. The time has just flown by. She is such a little cutie. All of us have really cute grand kids. I cannot believe how fast time has flown by this year. Her birthday is January 18th. So it is hard to buy a toy for her because she is at the in between age. I will look on the internet and see if I can find her a soft doll. I thought that last year they had a soft cabbage patch doll. Did anyone else see it or was this all in my mind. She had a soft face and body. I just hope that I can find one that I want.
    I saw that the cubs won. They really did have a lot of champagne flying all over the place there. I wonder if they ever drink any of it. I hope that they all have goggles on so they did not get any in their eyes. I do not like they way they have the play offs set up now. They have to play too long before they get to the world series. I do not understand why they did that. It was so much easier when they just did the play offs once and then played the world series. They do not always change things for the better.
    Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

    Hi DD,
    Love the pictures that you posted. They are so bright and cheerful. We all need that right now. Wish the whole world would be bright and cheerful now and quit with all the negative things that are going on.
    I am glad that you got to buy some quacker yesterday. They had a lot of nice things on that show. I still have not bought anything. I may buy something later. All of my easy pays will be paid off this month. That is so nice. Then I will have some with the food that I bought for the Christmas season.
    That is terrible that you are still finding bugs. Hope if they spray again they will get the rest of them It is pretty common to have some babies still around. It is aggravating but it still happens. At least that person moved and you will not have anymore bugs.
    I have an i phone but I have att go phone plan. I can pick what I want to pay for it. My bill is not that high but I do not have the internet on mine. I do not use the internet on my phone when I had it before. So I just got rid of it. We have internet at home and that is enough for me. Then internet on my phone did not work that well when I was at home because of where we live. So anyway I just got rid of it.
    Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

    Hi Adele,
    You really made me laugh. I would have been the same way. I cannot store anything in my oven for that reason. I have ruined a handle to a skillet once because I put it in the oven and forgot. I cannot imagine how bad the smell was. It was good that you could open the windows and get some of the smell out of the house. Of course Bobby had to aggravate you about it he is a kid. Well at least one of your kids. They seem to like to remind us of some of the dumb things that we have done. All we can do is remind them of a dumb thing that they have done if not recently when they were kids.
    I can believe that you still have to remind him to drink water. He is a man and they never want to do what they should. They like to drive us crazy. You would think after they have been sick they would not want to have that happen again. I hope that the antibiotics help with the infection and he gets better real soon.
    That would be sad if you cannot bake the cookies that your kids like. There is always next year though or you could bake them after Halloween and they still would enjoy them. They have to fix that oven quickly they have taken away your therapy for when you need it. You may have to make fudge on top of the stove. That would help some.
    It is chilly here also. It is nice though. We have not had a frost yet though. It will won’t frost here until the end of October or the first of November. Then we get really cold and it will stay that way until spring. That is the way it is supposed to be but then you never know if it will work like that or not. It depends on if we have crazy weather this year or not.
    Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

    Hi Gail,
    There is no way that we rode on that zip line. We did go up in the tower and Ron looked out. I did once but told him all I could see was the top of the trees so I was done. It really makes me nervous to be up high like that. So we came back down and went on the trolley to see the rest of the sites.
    I ordered the blankets for my sils and they are already on the way.I am so glad that they are. So that is three more gifts out of the way. I still have the three kids to buy for. I really need to get their gifts bought. Will look for them this week and see what I can find. I would like to get the things for the baby and get that over with. I was going to get her an American Girl doll but decided that she is to young for one of those. Even the baby ones that they have they say are for kids three and up. So now I will have to find something else. It is hard to find a doll for her age.
    Well last night I did not get to see who was voted off the show. For some reason the dvr cut the thing short. I got to see Sasha and I can never remember her name dance and they went to join the others to see who was in jeopardy. So what happened. I cannot find out anywhere.
    I cannot stand to watch the game when it goes into overtime. It just seems to go on and on forever. I like to watch the last game of the series and that way there is not as much tension.lol Just hope that the cubs win.
    Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
