Good morning, Karen

Glad to see you this morning. Hope you had a nice peaceful day yesterday.

My son took a plane to Tennessee this morning. He's then renting a truck to bring a thousand pound printing press back home for our business.
I'm a bit nervous that all goes smoothly. Keep your fingers Xd for him, please.

Hi everyone,

Myself, perhaps you could get one of those small gardens for the house where you grow herbs and it has the cover with lights. I can not post the link here because it would be selling. I am sure you could find something on line.

You could also try making things for nursing homes or other needy organizations.

volunteer.org is a great site for things to do.

Pitmom, I am sorry to here about your brother. However, things are more advanced now, medical choices are way beyond what your Mom had.

I will keep you and your brother in my prayers.

Is it possible that your daughter could call and get on a cancellation list?

Peace and strength

Hi Joyce,

I hope your printer makes it safe and sound. That will be so nice for you. I talked to a guy on the phone, about the property. They need an acre and a quarter to build a store. If it works out, we will sell that and put a modular in the back in the woods. Big white pines there. We'll see what they offer.

Take care sweetie... Have an awesome day...

Hi Trina...

Nice to see you post. Your posts are always so helpful. I hope you have a good day today.

Pitmom I hope that your brother will be okay.

Myself I hope you have another awesome garden. Getting closer to the time.

Have a good day you all.

Hugs, Karen...

Hey, I saw a Fox last night!

#Foxwatch2018

Gonna be a chill weekend. I'd like to signal my virtue by listing all the wonderful things I'm going to do, but truth be told, I'll probably crack a bottle of wine and sit in my underwear and watch TV. I may snuggle under an afghan so Cat27 has something warm to sit on. I'm polite that way.

Joyce, that printer sounds incredible! Sounds like a great way to move the business forward.

Ha Ha F27...

I saw a Rottweiler yesterday. In the yard. Sniffed under the bird feeders, peed on my cherry tree and then left. Nice looking dog though, he had a collar.

Have a peaceful time chilling.

Hugs, Karen...

No foxes here, but a neighbor saw a coyote. That's to go with the deer that eat her garden. ANd we live in the MIDDLE of Atlanta, a city of millions.

Cleaning house as a friend & husband are stopping by Monday, and I really don't want to be embarrassed. I keep things neat and orderly, but the dust!

Then girding my loins & mustering my energy to survive a 5 day visit with my father 500 miles away. Ugh. Annual parental pilgrimage, not fun, not fun at all.

Hi all
Checking in again, not doing well. Didn't really sleep last night, and today my heartburn has returned for the first time in 2 years. Great. More chronic pain to add to the list. At least when one pain comes the others ease. That Nortriptyline must have been helping with the pain.

I'm day 2 of venlafaxine and the days cannot pass quickly enough. Mum is staying for a couple of weeks when I'm hopefully picking up a bit.

Pray for me guys.

Some days it's hard to stay in the moment and keep depression at bay... I have things to do, but really want to hide under the bed today. Here's what's on my mind... some of you know I have Lupus and have been the HW Lupus moderator for a long time. I'm in remission, but have lost so many friends...

Remembering my very good friend Barbara Lee today, who passed from Lupus almost 2 years ago - I miss her so often! And thinking of Amy, who is having heart symptoms which may be from Lupus. And Donna, who reported a growth in her brain in early November, who I haven't heard from since - I'm afraid to call her husband. An acquaintance, AKA, Crazy Carol, passed away from Scleroderma (another autoimmune disease that has some things in common with Lupus) a couple of days ago. Chronic illnesses suck!

Very grateful for my health, although feeling a bit guilty for it! Hug your loved ones close, my friends.

I hugged Mrs. F27 extra hard. Her response was “quit squishing my boobs.” I continued doing it anyway.

Hair? Cut.
Snow? Blown.
Malbec? Poured.
PJs? On.

I’m watching speed skating. Those dudes could crush a car with their thighs.

Hi Joyce, Lynnwood, Andy and F27,...

I am late to the party again. Been busy today. It was lovely outside as it was sunny off and on. Warmer... Felt like spring. Yay!!!


Sounds like you got your ducks in a row F27. Everything is done and accounted for. Poor Mrs F27;s boobs eh? But you enjoyed it. Ha Ha...

Andy, I am sorry you are feeling bad. I hope that it gets better. Remember to breathe and try to stay in the moment. I hope you feel better soon.

Joyce, Thanks again for the smilers. I do look forward to them every day. I hope you had a good day today.

Lynnwood, It sounds like you have lost a few close friends. That is always hard. Allow yourself to feel sad if you are feeling sad. Celebrate their lives too. I hope that you feel better.

Hugs to all...

Karen...

You can perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself.
Form a fist with your stronger hand below your rib cage and just above the navel.
Place your other palm over the fist to push more firmly.

Drive your fist in and up in the diaphragm area (the top of your stomach) forcefully and repeat several times until the object that's stuck in your throat gets dislodged.

Good Morning Joyce.

Thanks again for the share... I liked the headline blooper the best.

I hope you have a lovely day. Take care.

Hi Karen,
Hope the offer for the acre on your property is a good one. Let us know what develops.

I thought you mentioned going south to warmer weather if you sold....more than an acre, I guess.
How much land do you have there?

My son got home with the printer yesterday. TaDa...that was a relief.
Holding off 'till tomorrow the unloading of the press because of the weather

Rain here expected all day. Always a concern that the creek on our land will overflow.
It's about a football field away. We've had some scary times in the past.

See you later

~ Joyce

Wow, you have a creek on your property? That is awesome!!!

I have just under 8 acres. If this works out we will put a modular in towards the back of the property where all the trees are. It will be pretty and shady there. Moving south if we sell it all or half of it. We'll see. Putting in a modular would be nice and easier as we could move in gradually. We'll see about that one too.

I am so happy you got your printer home. This is going to be so nice for you. You will set up after the rain? I hope that the press doesn't get wet.

I hope you have a good day. Snowing here. But not a lot.

Take care Joyce and thanks for all you do.

Hugs, Karen...
Posted 2/11/2018 4:40 PM (GMT 0)
Sounds like a good plan, Karen...
Take each day as it comes.....and single steps until it's perfect The modular seems like a great start.

We have eleven acres we divided when we built our home. 7+ for the house...and 3+ for the business. The creek meanders through both. It's big enough that cars floated down when we got 10 inches of rain in 5 hours during Hurricane Isobel in 2003.

I do have an overhead photo shot of our property, but don't know how to copy and post it here. Perhaps son can help me one of these days.

In the mean time....tomorrow will be clear weather. The challenge will be hiring equipment to remove printer from truck. THEN ...how will we get it into the shop from the loading dock. Oh boy, that's Son's problem.

Take each day as it comes...ya shur

Nice rainy day here, perfect for staying in and doing housework. Not that I *want* to do housework, but I have a college buddy and her husband stopping by tomorrow so the dust MUST go!

I've decided that if I finish in time I will take a Xanax and take a nap. I know, that sounds like a suspicious use of medication - but the truth is I'm so anxious I should probably take one now! My chest is tight... not dangerously tight, but not my norm either.

Y'all stay dry!

HELP...the creek has overflowed and is now coming my way
Posted 2/11/2018 6:41 PM (GMT 0)
Wow Joyce, do stay safe. That is scary.

I hope you don't get flooded. Can you go to your son's house to be safe?

Lynnwood, I hope that the Xanax helps.

Hugs Karen...

Joyce, keep us posted on how things are with the creek.
Posted 2/11/2018 7:10 PM (GMT 0)
Thanks for being here, Karen

Creek still going over the banks.....the rain has let up a bit. and the overflow accumulation on the surrounding ground is not getting much larger Checked local weather and some wet stuff supposed to continue overnight, but not heavy rain. If it had been snow we would have had 30 inches.

No worry about being safe. House is high enough...but basement could be an issue. We did install furnace suspended from rafters instead of on the floor.

Yikes! I have a creek near me and I hate it when it rises... it's gotten close (inches from door) but never quite inside. Rain like this I watch the gauges the city put in - you can look at the creek level online without going outside & getting muddy!

I hope your creek doesn't get into the basement, Joyce. I know it's not the worst thing that could happen, but I also know it isn't much fun at all.

(Friends had to rebuild their home up 14 feet after a couple of river floodings... I've helped with cleanup/item retrieval.)
Posted 2/11/2018 9:01 PM (GMT 0)
Lynnwood...

Thanks for your good wishes.
Glad you haven't been swamped completely
Seems like the worst is over, and I can relax (for awhile)

Calling it a night, now.
Will see how things are in the morning.

Hi andy good to see you back

Heartburn can be a b&€/#=^, I finally found out, after cardiovascular check and gastrointestinal chk for the meds I take.
My ENT just blurts it out when I tell him the 1st couple symptoms

I have: LPR: Laryopharyngeal Reflux Disease

Easiest thing I ever had to deal with.

NO,.CAFFINE. even decaf kicks it up. If I want a regular cup of coffee, it is 8oz, no more

More no's: you will be surprised how good you feel.
Peanut butterm in any form
Other nut spreads
Chocolate of any kind, in any thing

There is more, look into it. It may help.
