She said she doesn't ask me to do it. When she's napping, who cleans the cages?

Good thinking, trying to find ways to show that you aredoing her work, away from her. Just please stay ssafe in this heat. Reminds me of a book I am listening to AMC a non Pern book Namisha sp 's Ship, I can say not spell, right now, book s name but in other books by Anne its been kinda bugging me for a bit. part of the Body Heirs

[BD1]

Next time a pup messes and she's around, I'll tell her, "a puppy made a mess!" Since I don't clean the cages right!

[Priscilla]

That sounds like a plan!

My husband has 3 car races to watch today, one right after the other. There is also the Tour de France and Wimbledon. I am happy to be in the quiet livingroom, doors closed, music on, sewing.

[BD1]

Is he a fan of nascar?

[Priscilla]

Not at all! Formula 1 is his first choice followed by some of the off road races such as they have in Australia. If nothing else is on he will put on NASCAR, grudgingly and not really watch. He calls it "roundy round" which is exactly what it is!

[BD1]

Bossy girl says she cleans up after the two puppies during the day. Just now had to clean up some pee! So much for her cleaning up after them!

[Priscilla]

Does anyone ever take these puppies (and the father dog) for walks? Dogs that big need lots of exercise.

[BD1]

The dad dog is put outside in the morning. He's in the backyard. The puppies are not taken for walks. Only taken out to do their business, they play around instead. Bossy girl told me I can't charge my tablet on mom's son's game system! How else am I to charge my tablet?? Cube is not working!

[BD1]

How many of y'all have an illeostomy/colostomy? There's a website called "meetanostomate.com"

[Priscilla]

Not me.

Watching the hummingbirds at the feeder I refilled with fresh sugar/water this morning. I wonder if the huge birds (blue jays) and hummers are amazed by each other. Sort of like a lumbering SUV next to a "zip zip" Lambourghini!

[BD1]

Happy 4th of July for the peeps in the US!

[Priscilla]

Can I not be a peep? It always makes me think of those marshmallow Easter things. The only marshmallows I like are those done on a stick over a fire. Burnt until they are on fire, pull off and eat the burnt part, burn the inside!

Yuck!

[BD1]

I thought peeps was short for people, on the internet. When I used to have weekend retreats over Mother's day weekend, on Friday night or Saturday night, we'd cook marshmallows over a campfire. I would put mine in the fire so it'd catch fire, blow the fire out, then stick the marshmallow in my mouth, gooey! And yummy!

[Priscilla]

Peeps is sometimes used that way. It's only one letter shorter than "people", though.

[BD1]

I can't help it when my barriers start leaking!

[Priscilla]

Happy Birthday, Allen! Here are some nice Peeps and burnt marshmallows to make your day complete! Seriously, do hope it's a good one!

[BD1]

Happy birthday, Allen! Just now was told to bring a large dog in and put him in his cage. Not supposed to be doing that! And bossy girl claims I don't do that! But I did! Bossy girl told mom's granddaughter she brought the big dog in! I didn't see her doing that! If mom was in here, bossy girl would have done it herself! "I don't tell you to do anything!" Who brought the big dog in?!?

[BD1]

Not the only one who has lied recently! When I go I in the hospital for my reversal surgery, gonna remove bossy girl from my visitor's list! And from my caregiver list!

[Priscilla]

When exactly is that reversal surgery?

[BD1]

I had thought it'd be in September, but my doctor says in about 6 months! September is 6 months after my revision surgery, when I was in the hospital for 2 months earlier this year. He's waiting for me to gain weight. Last weight check had me at 95 pounds, sometime last month.

[BD1]

Might be having to go to the nursing home soon! Had to change my system a short time ago! Bottom part was leaking. Supposed to only change the system twice a week. They don't last that long! Plagued with excessive output!

[R'zil]

The heat index here is already 107 and it's only 10:30. Barely a breeze outside and humid as well. Another day of hiding in the AC.

[Priscilla]

Miserable! I prefer cold to heat and humidity myself. We get more humidity here in Connecticut than I like but nothing like further south of us. I'm glad you have AC, it must be horrible for those that don't!

[R'zil]

Well, this isn't that abnormal for us so most people have AC. I don't really mind the heat that much as long as there's a breeze but it's the humidity that gets to me.

[BD1]

Went to my doctor's office to try to get some skin barriers, one of the nurses went next door, but couldn't find any! I hope my mom gets some at Wal-Mart! I should have asked for a prescription for the barriers!

[BD1]

Hospital bound!

[GinnyStar]

Sending XCooling thoughts , and 'cooling drinks' too all who need them.
Also sending warming thought s and 'warming drinks' to tthoes who need them.

Things whent well, for my yearly meeting, I still have the support I need.
Wished my friend a belated birthday. It was yesterday. Hard to get hold of, was /still having probl answering my IPhone . More later.

[Priscilla]

I'm glad you had a good meeting, Ginny. I'm sure your friend did not mind a late birthday greeting.

I'll have a nice big glass of cold water with a couple inches of cranberry juice added to give it some flavor. Thanks!

[BD1]

Got home about 3 something in the morning. A girl I know, tried to lie on me to bossy girl. She said that I was messing with my system. I was cutting tape so I could hide my CT bag under my shirt and so I wouldn't snag the tube on anything! When she came upstairs, I told her what I was doing and showed her the tape I'd already cut! My weight dropped to 93 lbs.

[Priscilla]

Grocery store this morning.

I am working on a fairly large cross stitch kit for my daughter for Christmas. It is a picture of Jack Skellington from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. Above his head is the word "Skellingtons" in greys and oranges. He is in the center, holding a "beer" mug in one hand. There is an "emblem" next to him extolling the product he is advertising, also the words "Craft", "Royal" and "Spiced". At the bottom of the picture are the words "Pumpkin Ale" also in greys, yellows and oranges. With his other hand he is making an "OK" sign. I hope this description is helpful, Ginny! When finished it will be about 16 inches wide by 22 inches high.

[BD1]

My doctor will not perform the reversal surgery until early next year. I need to get up to 115 lbs.

[BD1]

Had to clean up dog doo! The bossy liar girl told me to get it up. It'd be real funny/interesting if mom saw me cleaning up after the puppy after the girl says she does it, not me!

[Priscilla]

Hypothetically, IF your weight got up to 115 lbs before next year would you get the surgery sooner?

[BD1]

Maybe. Long as Dr. Hobson is aware of my weight!

Third time , sending it belated , from WI our state fruit , don't know if its in your area of New England or not,

[GinnyStar]

Its gone the easiest one so far, with Tina helping translated my thoughts when they wouldn't come out right, I was able to guide her via the wall to muy apartment, via a a different friend helping her in the right way,, explain we are waiting on the specialwhite and red tape for my cane, to be marked llleacourding to our state laws, , and getting back in with my help too, that I haven't talked too in a long tim neeed to reopen my file, and had to change a few things with a different payee, but we are getting there.
my friend is understanding its taking me time to find and get stuff, sent to her, but as soon as I can I shall. glad to able to be in communication with her, not able to answer her was very hard on me.

[GinnyStar]
