Hi Colleen,
How the heck did they get Andy from Christopher? That’s a big stretch. I guess I can’t blame her for wanting to be called Amanda so no one else makes silly jokes like I did. I just couldn’t help myself. It’s funny because Jenny prefers that name to being called Jennifer-although we did call her Lolly when she was little because that’s how Brent said her name.
I can’t believe it’s cheaper to pay the fine than to have the insurance. Something is not right with that picture. How is that helping people? They need to overhaul that and get it right.
Greg is getting an MRI next week for his back. Also he got a referral to an ear eye nose and throat guy for his vertigo when he goes on that inversion table. I suggested it may be an inner ear problem since he does have hearing loss and i guess you can get these crystal things in your inner ear which can sometimes cause vertigo. He was never good about going to the doctor when he was younger but now he will go when he needs to-and of course now that we are older there seems to be more reasons to go. I can’t believe Ron is still going to that quack-maybe he doesn’t want to go to the new one because she is a woman. Good thing that doesn’t bother Greg. And after all turnabout is fair play-when we were kids and young women most of the doctors that we had to go to were men. It is nice now that we have a choice in most instances.
My grands always liked the sparkly clothes too just like Aliza. That’s funny that she was done with you when her Mom came home. I figure that even though we may not be up to date on all the modern child rearing practices our daughters still figure that grandma is best. After all we managed to raise them all right. lol

Hi Adele,
The koi pond is actually pretty big. I will have to get actual statistics from Greg. However, it’s probably as big as a small swimming pool. It’s not just a little circle like you sometimes see.
I like your frog mailbox. It reminds me of when Kim was alive and she was afraid of frogs and her daughters used to love to come here and find frogs or toads in the pond and chase her with them. I’m just imaging all the nice boxes that our mailman could try and stuff in that mailbox. I just love when he shoves a box in so tightly that you need a piece of heavy equipment to pull it back out. lol
It’s getting closer to backsplash day.

Hi Dianne,
I’m so happy that the dishes were better than expected. That’s a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to the pictures.

Hi Colleen,
I hope that you are feeling better today.
I hope that Andy is feeling better too. That was a bad mix up with the meds.
I have taken the same things for so many years that I would recognize if I got the wrong thing but if it’s a new prescription how would one know.
Is Andy married to your daughter Amanda? That would make them Andy and Mandy-I’m probably not the first person to say that and they probably hate it but I just could not help myself. Everyone knows I like to play with words and sometimes write poems. lol Please forgive me for being such a dork. lol
I’m surprised that your daughter has no insurance. I thought that when you sent in your tax returns now you had to send in a form that proved that you have some type of insurance or pay a penalty. Maybe I have misunderstood it as I don’t do the taxes but I thought that’s what that form was for. Anyway, what good is the new law to her if she still can’t afford it-I thought the purpose was to make insurance available and affordable to all. If it’s not working they better get it fixed. That’s sad.
Greg’s off to therapy and to the doctor today to get his blood sugar levels checked out again. He won’t have much actual time at work. I see my rheumatologist tomorrow so this must be the week for check ups at our house. I hope we both pass. lol

Hi Adele,
Were you able to get out to dinner Sunday night? I hope so.
Greg spent all day Saturday in the heat working on the green so he is hopeful that with some work he can fix it.
I told him if I had a pool I could have floated around in it and watched my “pool boy” working on the green. lol
He still feels like I should take my float and put it in the koi pond. Not gonna happen.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the info. I went back and deleted all my notifications and now I am at 0 too. Now that I think of it on the Q boards there is a number if someone has hearted you or referred to you in post a so it makes sense. I don’t post on those boards that often though so I didn’t make the connection.
I hope that Jacque will be okay. She has just returned back to the Q after being off ill for quite awhile.
How are you feeling? Is the dizziness better? Do you ever hear from Debra anymore?

Prayers for those affected by the shootings in Orlando. So sad.

Christine,
Glad to hear that Scott is out looking for work. I hope that he finds something soon.

Hi Colleen,
That is a good idea if you want to start a separate page for prayer requests and updates. That way they won’t be mixed in with all the other posts and will be easier to find.
It’s a good thing that you were with your daughter when she got that phone call. At least you kept a cool head and figured out a solution. I’m glad that your SIL is doing better now too. That’s horrible that the hospital mixed up the perscription.
I had that happen once from WalMart and didn’t discover it until the morning that we were packing to leave on a trip. That was kind of a mess.
That’s sad that you can’t get everything done at the doctor’s when you need it because of Obamacare. I guess it’s good for the people who had nothing but not so good for many of us who are just kind of stuck in the middle. That’s a good thing about Greg still working is we still have our Blue Cross from work. Not looking forward to eventually losing that when he retires but hopefully then medicare with a supplement will work for us.
I will say the guy next door was really good about trying to do right by Greg. He got him some tools for fixing the divots, plus he gave him some passes to a couple of local golf courses. So he is trying to make it right. I guess it’s a young couple next door. You can’t fix all the work that Greg put in but it’s nice to see that he’s trying to make things right. Then of course my big hearted husband is telling the guy that we are neighbors and that if he needs to borrow any tools or help with anything to just ask us. Of course Greg probably has every tool known to man-if only he could find where he put them. lol
