Hi Gail,
That is nice that the neighbor is trying to make things right with Greg. He sounds like a nice guy. He did not offer him any steaks though. That would have made the deal even better.lol Hope that they get that fixed up so Greg can use it again.
I can imagine what a mess that would be to get the wrong prescription before going on a trip. Hope that you got that fixed before you had to leave. It would have been really bad if you had left before you noticed it. You would have really been in a mess. They should be more careful with scripts.
There are still people that do not have insurance. My daughters insurance is too expensive for them so they had to put the kids on medicaid. My daughter is not covered at all. The only people that it really helped are the people that are not working. I just hope that we get someone in office that will change this thing and make it better. My sil is covered because of his job. This is just a mess and it is costing a fortune.
They closed the other hospital that we had down here. So now we only have the one and they are not doing such a good job. It is scary that you take you child to the emergency room and they could give you the wrong medicine for them. They may not come thru it as easy as an adult. We were just lucky that Andy did not have a reaction to the medicine.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good day.

Hi Adele,
Thanks for letting me know that the popcorn is good. I am going to order it this week.I really like popcorn and have been looking for a good type to eat. This will be nice if it does not stick in your teeth. I hate when it does that.
I am glad to hear that Johnny is feeling better. That makes it rough if he coughs every time that he talks. I can imagine how sore that it makes his throat. That is nice that his boss gave him the time off. That is a good sign that he likes him. I do not think that he has to worry about his job. It would be nice if they would hire him on permanently so he would not have to worry about it. That was good that he went back to the doctor and found out that he does not have to have surgery now.
That was scary that they gave my sil the wrong medicine. It was no wonder he did not feel better then he did after taking it. The new medicine really worked so much better. He is feeling a lot better and is up and about right now. I guess he will go back to work on Monday and try it again. It does make you nervous when you know that they gave him the wrong medicine the first time. What if they did that with a child. We only have one hospital here now they closed the other one. So we are stuck with this one.
That was a nice reward for Gary for working on the pool. Your weather sounds too cool for this time of the year. At least when you have the rain the storms will not be as bad. Hope that Gary did not get rained on trying to get the pool straightened out.
Finally they have set a date for putting the back splash up. They should have done it the day they said that they would. It will look really nice when you get it all up and you do not have to worry about it anymore. You will be able to take the foil off the back of the sink. That was a good idea that was a good way to keep it from getting wet.
Thanks for the prayers for my sil. They are appreciated.

Hi Christine,
This group is really good about praying for each other and their families. This is such a good group of women. We are here for each other. I am glad that Scott is looking for a job. If he studied science in college has he ever thought of working for conservation department. They have all different types of jobs there are maybe doing research. That might be two different fields to look into.An emt is a good job also. He sounds qualified for any of those jobs.
It is hot here also. I hope that you are in air conditioning. It is hard not to be when you have asthma. Just take care and keep your inhaler close by. I know others that have asthma and it seems like the summer month’s are hardest on them.
Have a good night will talk to you later.

Hi Adele,
When the guy said that you would hear at the end of the week did you start laughing. I would have and told that is a good joke. You have been waiting to hear from them for two weeks so why would you believe that one. You are being a lot more patient then I would be. By the time that I got done they would be ticked off.
I am glad to hear that Johnny is doing better. i hope that he goes for a follow up and makes sure that he does not need anything else done for his tonsils. He sure does not want to go thru that again. Steph panicked just like my daughter did. I wrote all about it in Gail’s post. Read about it there it is too much write again. This was all the hospitals fault though.
Just be glad that you still have cool weather. It is really hot here again and the threat of more storms next week. Then it will cool down a little. It will be in the 80’s instead of the 90’s. What a cool down. It is going to be in the upper 80’s so do not think that we will have to turn the air off. lol
Well at least you are going to be able to do some baking for awhile. Aizen will be yum yumming again over Nona’s cookies. The hot dogs sound like they were a hit at your house. We will have to try them. I wish that I could remember the name of the other hot dogs that they had. I really wanted to try them. They were the long hot dogs and they looked very good.So now I have two new things to try. They also had some sugar free candy on there and I ordered that but it is on wait list. It really looked good. The hulless popcorn looks good also. I am in a snacky mood tonight. Might be because I ate a couple of butter finger candy bars. They were the little ones. though. I usually do not eat candy with sugar but I just was hungry for them tonight.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and we will continue to pray for Johnny.

Hi Gail,
Well it must be time for sickness on here. My son-in-law has been sick. He had to miss two days of work and you know how that is they can only miss so many days. So yesterday he decided to go back to work. Well while he was at work my daughter gets a call from the hospital saying that they gave him the wrong prescription and they called in a new one for her to pick up. So she calls me and I take her into the pharmacy and while we are there she gets a call from where her husbands works. He got sick at work and was running a high temp. So they wanted to send him to the hospital by ambulance. Well she said that they could not afford that because he had been to the emergency room twice this week. So she goes into panic mode and is having a fit. She would not listen to me and calm down.My oldest daughter lives close to where he husband works so I told her to call her sister. No she won’t do anything. So I called her and she called me back and I told her and she went and got my sil from work and met my other daughter so they could come home. He took the new medicine and he started feeling better right away. The fever broke and he was not feeling as sick. He had a uti and that was the problem. I could not believe that they gave him the wrong script. It was a good thing that someone caught it and gave him the right one. That is scary.
That would be cute to see Lachlan and Piper playing on the same t-ball team. I wonder if Lachlan give Piper advice while they are playing. I can just see it now him telling her what to do and her not listening to a word he said. lol Hope that they both have a great time playing t-ball.
How are things coming with Greg’s golf green? I hope that they help him out with getting it fixed again. They should it was their cows that did the damage. It would be nice if they did give Greg some steaks. He has to put up with their cows coming in the yard and making a mess. People just do not realize if you wanted cows in your yard you would have some of your own. Buffalo people do not realize that either. So if their animals come into you yard you are just out of luck.
Do not have a gastro yet. She ran all those other tests and she could not do any more at that time. So next time I go in she will have the tests done that I need to go to the gastro. Obama care is just so great NOT!!!! So just put up with being sick and having to put up with the stomach pains. I see her in another couple of weeks. Then they will start on that.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Barbara,
Glad to see you on here not matter if you write a lot or a short message. It is hard when you have children having problems. We just have to stand back and wait for them to ask for our help or advice. All we can do is pray and turn everything over to God. He will take care of it. Maybe not in the time that we would like but he will take care of it.
Gail had a good question. Do you have all the animals that belong to the kids? You must have a yard full of dogs and cat or house full. It is nice to have a big yard for them to roam in. My daughter leaves her dogs with us and they come back from vacation and the dogs have tics. She acted really surprised. We laughed we live in the country dear get a clue. We only have so many guineas to take care of the tics and if the dogs go out into the woods there is nothing we can do about it. Kids.
The gargling with salt water is what we use to have to do when we had a sore throat. We always had our kids do that also. I do not know if they recommend that anymore or not. They should it seemed to work.
Just take care of yourself and Jerry. You two are the most important people in that group. If you let all of this get you down then you will get sick and that is not good. You are in my prayers.

Hi Ladies,
I am wondering if we should start a prayer list again on a separate discussion. The list gets buried in all the other post and they are hard to find. That way we can post the progress on the people that we have asked for prayers. It is so much easier then going back and looking all of them up. What do all of you think? Let me know and I will start the discussion if you want me to or someone else can.
Thanks Colleen

Hello Ladies,
My prayers are going out for Johnny. Wish he would have went and had that surgery. He would feel so much better if he would have let them take his tonsils out. I will be praying for you Scott and his family. Jobs are not that easy to find anymore. Hope he finds one that will not hurt his back. It is hard to work with a bad back. I will also be praying for Jean the quacker that we lost. That is just so sad. Sue did you know from being on one of the cruises? How sad for her family and her friend.
Gail that is terrible that the cow ruined Greg’s golf green. I would be ready to shoot me a cow and have a lot of steaks for dinner. It is amazing how much damage those animals can do. They do not care what they run into either. They also like to eat your plants. Found that out with the buffalo. We do not have that many cows that come in the yard but use to be Biskit would keep them run off. We will see how it goes now with just Austin. You would not think that the cardinal has a brain left as often that he has run into your window. Hope that you find something that works.
Adele, I am so sorry to hear that Johnny is so sick. They should give him time off if he has a doctors excuse. It is terrible that he is worried about his job. He really needs to have that taken care of. Hope that the back splash guys will get to your house like they said and get the put on. It was a good idea to talk to the manager of Lowes. He seems to have gotten things done for you. They need to get that done so you can make cookies for Aizen. He will be wanting more pretty soon. That is funny about him getting all excited about finding worms. Boys are funny they like things that are weird.lol I never did meet Jean. I am not on face book. A lot of those girls do not post on here. So do not know any of them. Sue is the only one and she has been on here longer then I have. She is such a nice person.
Dianne, I do not know who Philip Watson. Does he do one of the flower shows on QVC? I am not good with names.I really like you rose dishes. Those are really pretty. I agree with Gail that would make a meal taste better eating off of them. I have a great nephew that was born with a hole in his heart. He had not had any trouble with it until he wanted to play basket ball a couple of years ago. The doctor told him that he could not because of his heart. That was such a blow to him. He was going to play anyway but the coach told him no. If the doctor did not give him the okay he would have to take him off the players list. It was really sad but better for him.
Sue thank you for keeping us updated on all of the quackers. That is a shame that she died from that wreck. But like you said it was probably better then having to live with all the pain she would have to live with. We just have to trust in God and his decisions.
Well that is about all from here. I guess I better close for now. I hope that all of you have a good night.
Colleen

Hi Adele,
Still no word from the guy that is doing the back splash. I would be getting upset about that. I do not have much patience with stuff like that. I am still looking for someone to lay the tile in my bathroom. Our nephew is hard to get a hold of. You have to go thru his dad and he divorced Ron’s sister so a call from one of us is not always answered. I can understand that. It would be hard to talk to your x’s family.
Aizen has you number. He know that yum gets to you all the time. That is so cute. That was nice that he got his corn early so he did not have to wait for very long. It is hard not to do that stuff for the kids. They are so little and they do not understand this whole waiting thing. They are hungry now.
I hope that your rose bushes were planted today before it starts to rain again. It was raining here tonight. I cannot believe that they had just said that we had a chance of rain and storms here and it started raining. Our forecast comes out of St. Louis so is not always right for us here. They got it this time though. Just did not tell the people out of town that it would hit them first.
Watched Aliza and Owen today. They are so cute. Aliza is really growing. I cannot believe how fast she is growing. We had not seen her for three weeks so she has grown a lot. You know how it is when they are that little. She is giggling now. That is so cute. I love to hear a baby laugh.Owen fixed me lunch today. I wrote about that in Gails if you want to read it.
I am glad that Steph and Johnny came over and are helping you with a few things. Hope that you get your pool open. That will be nice to have now that the weather is getting so hot.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
Colleen
