[BabsKats]

Ah, dangit JSM, jumped in here a little too late, I'm so bad with names these days, but wish I could have had you tell your sweet coach HI from me, she was such a sweetie

  Babs she asked about you and Greeneyes!!! Said if you didn't live so far she would love to hang out with you guys!!!

Far???  Heck anywhere you gotta get to here in Texas is far, I drive 40 miles to Sams club or any other shopping that needs doin....Only have a Wally's up here in my little corner...  GE lives 20 miles away from me, we can make that run in less than 30 minutes, unless we get a slow movin Rock Hauler on our little 2 lane FM road.

But.....of course when we lived in So.Ca. we only lived 5 miles apart, and would/could take an hour to make it those 5 miles.........Texas just doesn't know what TRAFFIC really is....spend a day navigating around So.Ca........

Tolerance you have seen all the other furkids but Beela so here she is in all her glory. She is the smallest of the big dogs at 120 lbs. She usually has a big floppy stuffed bunny in her mouth. ( she looks like a polar bear ) She's a Great Pyrenees

Oh I want one!!  This is my next dog for sure....as cute as they are when they are little, I will be rescuing one.  So many people get these dogs and just cant handle them when they get so big.  How precious!!

Our neighbors have one of these. I laugh at him all the time because he is so big but such a big chicken. He is even afraid of my 4 year old!

One word:   Regal

I love having the pics.  When I hear about your day I can really imagine it!  Also I truly understand your floor steamer passion!
Thanks!

The little 6 lb rescue had the mastiff, komondor and great pyr all hiding behind furniture today.

I don't think I have furniture big enough for them to hide behind!

[Tolerance]

Oh Bearly I wish I could send you sunshine and heat. Have you tried one of those full spectrum lights. Apparently they work wonders. Prayers.

I heard that, but I tried just keeping lights on in the house today.  It worked.

 

This is wonderful news!!   Prayer continues.

[Tolerance]

Gee, the board moved quickly today.  I really enjoyed peeking in during breaks from cleaning.
Thank you for such great company!

I am going to have a glass of wine, read a bit, shower and crash.
'See' you tomorrow.
Good night, Northern Rose!

Hi Monkeys--Really sad news I just heard.  Elizabeth Edwards died.  I didn't agree with her politics, but I admired her courage very much.  I think her husband is a rat and IMO that kind of stress can contribute to one's demise.

I have one heck of a problem on my hands.  After years of my sister-in-law telling me she had insurance for long term care, turns out she doesn't.  Just if she needs skilled nursing care which she does right now but probably won't for very long.  They want me to apply for medicaid for her, but they want me to disclose my assets which I won't do because, IMO, i'm not responsible for her.  I suspect they think I'll pay for her which I can't and won't. If not, they will send her back and I can't take care of her.  I have an appt. with a lawyer who specializes in this kind of thing, but not until Jan. 6.  I just hope they'll keep her until then.  I'm thinking of faking my own death and splittting, except I have Charlie.

No, I won't do that, but whatever.  The agency on aging will furnish a person to take care of her in my home, but only five days a week, which leaves the nights and weekends for me to take care of her.  So, I'm back in the same boat, not being able to travel or leave overnite or weekends. I'm too old to go through this.  She has taken my entire life away.  I no longer have a life.

I did everything right.  I got a doctor's orders to admit her to a nursing home, sent her records, etc.  Then she fell in my kitchen and wouldn't get up, although she could have, so I called an ambulance and sent her to the hospital with insurance cards and the doctor's orders.  I couldn't go because I had a terrible cold and I have to be careful about getting pneumonia, with part of one lung gone to cancer.  If I hadn't taken her in four years ago, she would have been homeless.  Now it seems if she lived here that long, it's her residence and I have to take her back.  What fine kettle of fish.  No good deed goes unpunished.

Sorry to be such a downer.  I have many people to talk to and they understand the problem, but I try not to show how upset I am about this.

Thanks for listening---or reading.

Hope everyone with sick hubbies, pain, etc. all feel better.

Sometimes it feels that way, doesn't it?

It will all be cleared up soon.  Hang in there.

I appreciate that Bearly, I know this is a bad day for you and thanks for taking the time to post that.

No, JSM, the apartment is actually quarters for a live in housekeeper--Ha.  Like I have one.  I just let her live there, rent free.  It has a kitchen but she always ate with me.  I am her only asset.  That's about it.  Her only asset is sponging off me.  I did it because I loved my brother, but this is too much. She couldn't find a suit to bury him in in that mess she lived in, so I went to Belks right before they closed on the night she told me and bought him one.

Have fun and your new hubby is very good-looking.  But you're a pretty girl, too, and you look great together.

Babybear you are not her next of kin so I don't think they can make you responsible. I agree that you need to talk to medicaid and not the nursing home. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Thanks 4Donks.  I love hearing the stories about the Donks and your new baby.  You must be a very kind person.

Last night I picked up Josef and they told me he had the runs. Okay fine, take him outside and he has watery poop. 4 times of watery poop. Gave him his pill, still no better, though they said it was better today. Asked to talk to the vet, he asked the girl what they were feeding him and she said his regular plus puppy food  He was like PUPPY FOOD!! She said, yeah you told me if he wasn't eating to mix puppy food in with his regular. His face got so red and apologized saying it was ALL his fault Joe has belly problems. He was more worried about him not eating than thinking about his belly troubles. Now he is still worried about his weight and if he gets lower than 37 pounds we are going to have to do tests    So please keep a prayer for my baby tonight. Love and thanks JSM

JSM I know what it's like to worry about our sweet pups.  I hope Joe is better tonight.  I freak out when Charlie is sick because of his diabetes, but so far so good.  Joe will be OK.  I give Charlie an immodium pill when he has the runs.  Works every time.  He weighs about 40 pounds so I give him a whole pill in a little peanut butter. Don't know what medicine you give Joe, but I know it works for Charlie.

Just got back from Wally world.......I see NRCG is not here right now.I will eat her Zingers!!!   

I'm struggling trying to put a new comforter on my daughter's bed, the way the bed is designed and up against the wall it is becoming a task  I sure could use a Zinger right about now          Tolerance prayers that you can fight the cigarette urge, I really need to stop, but I'm afraid the stress and doing that is not a good idea right now.     Trimm hope your dad is doing good today 

You are working too hard No Rose. I need to stop too, but stress is getting to me as well. Maybe I need to start running and my stress would go away, but I wouldn't have any clothes that fit. 

I work so I don't have to think as much   You don't need to run your body is great just the way it is.  Hope Josef is doing good, I was thinking about him 

  Even when I work my mind goes races No Rose. Running used to help with my stress. I have lost way too much weight, so I think running is out of the question. If I knew how, maybe I could ride a 

I wish I could give you some of mine and then you could lose that, too.   

I haven't eaten anything in the last 3 days, except for Peanut Butter Crackers one night.  I am starting to not drink either, the pain has got a hold of me.  It is starting to lessen a little, I know this is the beginning of the end of the horrible part.  I hate the dark and cold weather, it just makes everything worse.  I am sorry for complaining, but I am finding that it helps.  My belly hurts, my ears hurt, and I feel yucky.

If you could come here I would baby you till you felt better.  I am a great 'nurse' and I love the role.   
Wish I could help, meanwhile, I will pray.
Tol

Praying is helping.  I wish someone would baby me, but I am taking care of 3 others.  Thanks for the offer!

Just got back from Wally world.......I see NRCG is not here right now.I will eat her Zingers!!!   

  Wish I had some zingers, I could barely eat half my lunch.

I would share some chicken fingers with you,but I have an 18lb. snacker sitting in my lap...he said NO!   

I had 1/2 a Zinger in Florida.  Couldn't wait to see what this was all about.  I gave the rest of the box away.  It was so sweet, I couldn't finish it.  It looks very pretty, though.

 

   When NRCG reads your post........  insert fainting monkey.......   

Sadly (and evidently) I have not found something too sweet to finish.  sigh

You went all the way to FL for 1/2 zinger?  What a trooper!   

Two Zingers, and I saw them get hitched!
 
 

        Glad they were zingers that got hitched and not a ding dong and a hoho 

Nope, I know what I saw, definitely Zingers!

You got it.

I have wanted to start a program called 'Lumps of Love.'  Instead of donating locks of hair, you can donate weight to anyone who needs it.  I'm first!

 

[Bearlyhere]

What a day.  Started out with a headache and got progessively worse during the ride in the van to a meeting with 12 woman whose perfume made me nauseous.  Kind like being in the cage here.    

   

Hope your head feels better soon. Mr CC.

Just shoot me and put me out of my misery.

Hooters Girls and shots, too!  Boy, you have got an understanding wife.

 

  He only wishes they were Hooters girls Bearly.

     If you get the program off the ground, I will be next in line!
Hubby is a little worse tonight. I am hoping it is the  part where he gets worse before getting lots better. I am going to check about a second opinion tomorrow. I am not at all comfortable with their idea of pain management. Thanks for being a wonderful support system and for all the prayers I am feeling.

Baby, ITA wiith everyone...Ever see the Goonies?  "NO SIGN! NO SIGN!!!!"
