I think Christine is not getting the e-mails because she hasn’t been on this discussion yet and checked the box. Once she checked the box she should be fine. Mine is a totally different issue. And no one knows how to solve it.

I think that you asked about the Insider. It was a magazine that QVC used to send out by subscription that had the schedule for the month. It also has early access to about 5 or so TSV’s. It has a few articles and then it shows items that are on sale. Kind of like a cross between a magazine and a catalog. At least that’s the way it was when I got it years ago. I don’t think you can subscribe to it anymore but I am not sure. But those who used to get it can still get it in print or digital form. It used to cost but I’m not sure if it does anymore or not. Colleen still gets it so she would know for sure.

I’m glad that you stayed overnight instead of coming home so late. Plus that was nice that you kept the kids for the night and all went to breakfast the next morning. I love going out for breakfast.
When will Stephen be deployed? It’s a good idea to stay on base while he is gone-at least Melissa will have the other wives around then for company. Also I would not want to move Ethan to a new school either when he is doing so well where he is now. Kaylee will start kindergarten this year too-won’t she? Is she looking forward to it?
I hope that Mandy will take over babysitting so you don’t have to keep driving to Saint Louis. Especially when winter comes around. That is a long drive round trip for you.
I can’t wait for Greg to go to the pain doctor Monday. I know sometimes his foot and leg hurt so bad. I don’t know how he gets anything done. I hope they can help him quickly. I feel so bad for him.

I’m glad that Sarah is doing well and is not feeling too swollen and suffering from the heat.
I think it’s normal that you are seeing Neal differently. He is about to become a father and everything that you have done to raise him is coming full circle. Your job is complete and he is becoming a part of the next future generation. It’s time for you to relax and rest on your laurels and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. I know that you will be an awesome grandmother. What will you be called? I am Gigi. Thank goodness that you saved the new car seat from your wayward leg lifter. lol It’s a good thing that you had his number on that one and got the car seat to safety.
I know what you mean about Oz’s old leash. I have not been able to part with Rocky’s old bed yet even though it is old and all the fur part is worn off the cover. I just had to put it into the spare bedroom for the time being until i can bring myself to get rid of it. Yesterday I was crying as I wrote the check for his final vet bill. I think this one has been particularly hard as he was the last of my Three Musketeers and I honestly don’t know if there will be more dogs in our lives anymore. I’m not sure if I can take on the challenge again. Especially since Greg would like another big dog and they are so energetic. I don’t know if i have the stamina to tackle that again. Right now I’m just kind of enjoying having no responsibilities other than to myself even though it is quiet in the house without any dogs. We’ll see what the future brings.
I remember Lisa Mason and people way back before her too. Before the lady sold the Boyd’s Bears there was the creator of the company Gary Lowenthal who was hysterical and always did his best to embarrass poor Mary Beth who they used to put on with him to try and keep him under control. I loved those shows.
Greg has gone to buy yarn with his Mom when she lived with us. He actually has told me that he knows how to crochet although I’ve never seen any handywork from him. lol Greg’s Mom too made lots of scarves for everyone and she made afgans too until she could no longer follow the patterns and they all turned out to have weird shapes. I still have those too. I use them for dog blankets.

Glad that you and Kay had a wonderful 4th. You are a good friend.
I hope that you had lots of fun on your shopping excursion with your family/friends. What kinds of places did you go to shop?
It’s always nice to get out and about and do something different.

I’m still not getting notifications in my e-mail. Tiago said he looked around and everything seemed to be all right on the site so it must be something that I did. I sure wish i could figure it out and get those in my regular e-mail again as it makes it so much easier to check on my phone and tablet when they show up right in my inbox.in reply to: It's July! Let's Celebrate America! #43371Hi Adele,
Yes it does suck that I have to deal with this ankle but as we age we learn to deal with limitations. I am just glad that I am mobile. The occular migraines are not painful like the regular migraines-you just see funny squiggly lines for about 20 minutes and cannot read or drive during that time. You would have to pull over if you were driving. If you google them they have some good pictures of what it looks like to people that have them. I never got them until about 10 years ago and they are supposed to be harmless-just a minor nuisance. Every once in a while I will get a headache from them later in the day but this is normal too. Kind of a weird malady.
I hope that you got to Barnes and Noble. I love to browse in there as I am a reader and a book store or a library is like nirvana. lol
The puppy is not ours. It belongs to Jenny’s SIL and family. Her kids have been begging for a puppy for years and now that her youngest is three she decided to go for it. The puppy is half Cavilier and half Bichon and is adorable. It looks like a stuffed animal.
Do you have hard wood in your kitchen now? Are you looking for something to match it or will it be all new in kitchen and family room? I know it’s fashionable now to have hard wood in your living areas but I still kind of like the carpeting for the warmth of it in the winter months. It’s all a matter of taste and what you find easiest to maintain. I hope that you can find something that you like that goes with the rest of the room.
Gailin reply to: It's July! Let's Celebrate America! #43245Hi Adele,
I hope I can see what I am typing as one of those occular migraines just started and it makes everything look all squiggly.
I got one of those 502 messages yesterday when I was trying to get on the site. I never got my email notifications back. Tiago looked into it and said he could see nothing on this end so it has to be something that I did. Interestingly enough my daily Zulily emails also stopped at the same time so I have no idea what’s up or what I can do. When I’m home it’s okay as I can go to my laptop but now if I want to check for Quacker activity on my phone I can’t just find them in my email but have to go to the Quacker site through the internet and get on and see them there. So many more steps-it’s a pain in the butt! However, no one knows what I did so no one knows how to fix it. whoa! Everything is quite squiggly. How annoying!
I don’t have any personal experience with bamboo floors so i have no recommendations. We have wood floors in the kitchen which need to be refinished in the worst way. We had cork in the basement but since it got flooded we are probably going to replace it with the ceramic that looks like wood as it is very easy maintenance in a place that no longer gets that much use so ease is the key factor. What color wood floor are you thinking of? When we redo our kitchen we are going to pull up the carpeting in the dining room and add the wood to there too-mostly for future resale purposes-as no one seems to like carpet in the dining room although it was never a problem for us as our kids were teenagers by the time we built this house and we have a separate eat in nook in the kitchen anyway.
No my Mom was not butterfly crazy like me. I think it all started years ago with an antique tray with bright blue butterflies under glass.
Oh good-I can see again with the squiggles gone.
We don’t usually watch the fireworks on the TV shows. Nothing compares to being there in person and it just happens too late or there are too many crowds now to go see them in person-unless we are up north.
Years ago Greg used to do a display in our yard and all the neighbors would bring their kids and lawn chairs and come over to our house to watch them. But times have changed and we don’t do that anymore either.
My ankle is okay. It will never be fixed as they will not repair the tendons on someone with RA-the only thing they could do is surgically fuse the ankle bone. So how it feels is up to me. If I am doing a lot of walking I will put on the brace and if I don’t do it I suffer the consequences. So how it feels is totally under my control and if it hurts from doing too much without the brace it is basically my fault and I should know better. Most of the time it hurts a little just because of all the torn tendons but it is something that I have just learned to live with. That’s why I don’t mention it-it’s just the status quo-no better(although not as painful as at first) and no worse(and hopefully it can’t get any worse.)lol
Hope you had a good 4th. It was nice that you saw JJ and Aizen twice. That’s a special treat.
Gailin reply to: It's July! Let's Celebrate America! #43243Hi Colleen,
I’ll bet they will have more CIJ shows around the 25th like they normally do. I used to like when we used to get the paper schedules for a whole month in our packages so you could really see what was coming up. They probably still show that in the insider-you get that don’t you? Do they still have a paper copy or is it all online now? I used to get it years ago but dropped it when we got Dish.
Yes the cardinal is still banging his head on the window. Not quite as much as in the spring.
Boy we really need some rain. The garden needs more water. Greg had to replant peppers since many of them died off.
The puppy was darling. She looks like a stuffed animal. The kids named her Jemma. I would bet her feet never even hit the ground that first day as everyone wanted to hold her. She gave both Greg and I a face full of kisses. Very cute combination – Bichon Frise and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
I’m glad that Melissa is feeling better and is excited that you are coming. It must be frustrating when no one wants to visit because of base security. That does make it tough-but they need to stay safe too. That will be nice if they move off base and it will be easier to visit. How were the fireworks? We rarely go see them anymore. Although we do go if we are up north on the 4th. More because then it is a group of us going.
Well, my babysitting vacation is over next week. Adam went back to work after a month off. That must make it hard to go back after that much time off. When school starts only Piper will be there when I first get there as Lachlan and Kendall will both be in school full time this year. I wonder how Lachlan will make the adjustment.
