Broni.... I don't know how I missed the good news. Congrats on selling the boat! All that work you put in on it was worth it.

Off to bed. I leave for the hospital in 8 hours. I'll be home from the hospital in 12 hours.

Broni, YAY and ♥ He would be proud of you xoxo

Viv and Heidi, best wishes for your treatments

Greetings, Everyone!

Fresh apple pie, Rolanda! Yummm!

Cyn, I hope your holiday continues being wonderful!

Heidi, I hope your epidural is a real "hum-dinger" - a real doozy!

June, I hope Laura keeps on doing her art and hope you both have fun at the art fair!

Tami, I'm glad you and your cousins had enough time to enjoy being together before your Aunt Lil's funeral!

Suzy, thinking of you and sending you HUGE warm {{{{{HUGS}}}}} and . May your Mum find peace and be free of pain! We are all here to offer you and your family our support!

V Viv, thinking of you and hoping the cortisone shots do the trick! I assume we want yours to be a doozy, like Heidi's. Thinking positive and healing thoughts for you!

Broni, what wonderful news! Hooray! I know you loved having the boat, but the constant work is so hard to keep up! So glad it worked out for you, and hope you got a fair price!

Judy, hope all is well in your part of the world! We've missed you!

Suzy, thinking of you and your family! Safe travels!

I hope both Viv and Suzy have many pain-free days ahead of them after their shots!

Time to head to bed. Sending many positive thoughts, healing vibes, wishes for pain-free days and nights, {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}, and prayers for all!

Well done Broni,selling the boat must have been a bitter sweet experience. You still have all the memories but now you wont have all the work to do keeping her in good condition. Hope you got what you wanted price wise.
June hope you enjoyed lunch with MIL and not having to cook later.
Heidi and Viv hope your medical treatments work well. Heidi try to rest up after yours as we know that is what should happen, unfortunately it isn't always possible for you.
Cyn hope you are continuing to enjoy your holiday. Hope Col is feeling better.
I've forgotten most of what I wanted to say.

Just remembered the one thing I was going to say.
Safe travelling Suzy and family, it's not the greatest of reasons for the journey ((HUGS))

Morning all. Coffee is ready, help yourself.

Suzy, I have a big cup ready for you. You probably need it after the long drive.

Heidi and Viv, hope the shots help both of you today and you both find relief from your pain.

Hello everyone! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers of support for me when my mom died. I could never fully express how much that meant to me.
You probably already heard, but since I just found out, I wanted to come here and give my thoughts and prayers to Ouima. She was in a minor car accident last Sunday but took a turn for the worse in the hospital and has been on a respirator since last Wednesday. Michella wanted all of her friends to know so that they could pray for her. ♥

Thanks Stella for letting us know..

My thoughts and Prayers for Mama.. hope her health Improves ((Mama)) ♥♥♥

Mama, we need your peaceful guidance, come back to us soon ♥

Oh Mamacita, Our thoughts and prayers going your way.You are so much part of us all here and we need your wonderful words and advice.
I cannot see myself getting much sleep. Suzy's Mum, a friend at bowls who has asked Ken to organise his wake (if he goes in the next couple of days Ken could be in India) and now Ouima in hospital. I have to bowl in the morning, weather permitting, (raining at the moment) so a bit late to look for a sleeping pill. (I have only taken about three in the last 12 months!)

Mama, healing thoughts are winging your way. We need you hear for your words of wisdom.

Back from the hospital after a rough epidural. I'm off to bed in a couple.

PLEASE Get well soon, Mamacita. You are loved more than you know.

Hope the epidural hurt like h*ll Heidi.

Yesterday, our sunday, I had lots of people come by. Friend terry brought a co worker of his to shop pre garage sale. co worker bought a few items, Terry bought 3 times as much. The co worker said to me, he felt a bit uneasy looking through all the items, it was like tearing a mans life apart.

I sent the second mini van out for repairs, then I will sell it, I cannot drive 2 at a time, and have to keep buying car insurance and tags for it. I hope to put that, and what I get from the garage sale toward a newer vehicle for me. something this century hehehe. Cannot believe my vehicles are over 15 years old now, where did time go?

Friend Eddie drove up on his mower and cut the back yard for me. It was getting high, and feet got wet from early morning dew walking to the dome. he is such a good friend to do this for me. He might come back today for his shopping trip through the items, and help me sort a while.

While i was outside yesterday, I now know we had a tiny power flicker. did not know when I came in yesterday afternoon and found my computer screen blank. I was tired, being out in the dome standing around ( I need to get me a comfy chair out there) while the shopping took place. Not enough energy or ambition to trouble shoot the computer. Last night, I found one clock that was incorrect, figured power had flickered and hoped that was all wrong with computer, power flicker turned it off. YEP, that is what happened, I turned it back on this morning and it worked! sometimes it will not come back on once turned off and just did not feel like fooling with it last night.

Broni, such good news that the boat is sold. whatever will you do with all your spare time now? hehehe. I do understand about the emotional day. Having to let go of things from a happy past gets to you. We must learn to let go the item and keep the memories.

Gail, If you do hear from Suzy do let us know (from page 370) Yes, how did hubby and son enjoy the race?

Viv, I do hope the injections do all they are expected to do and more. thinking of you.

Suzy, safe travels, thoughts and prayers continue for you and family. do check in when you can, we care.

June, enjoy your lunch out,and I hope your hsaw has time to dry on the lines. I vote fro not cooking much any day.

Time to turn the page and read on.

OH NO, I just heard about Ouima, that is such a shock. I know she had some breathing problems previously. Perhaps the stress of the accident just escalated the Problem. How I hope and pray that with time and treatment, she can be weaned off the respirator and returned to her family and to us her cyber family. thoughts and prayers for Mamacieta an all her family.

I was thinking just this morning that it had been a while since we had heard from Mama, and was about to send out inquiries. get well soon, Ouima!

Stella, did you hear this on that other site? I do not think I am friends with her on FB. I hope her granddaughter is monitoring her e-mail for her so she can know how much we all really care.

I was just on the other site. They said that Mama is on a respirator. I will keep everyone informed as I can, as I am sure others will also.

morning all,
Quick drop in as I'm about to wake everyone up by having my shower and getting ready to go see mum. Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and wishes. The trip down took longer than it should have for 3 reasons - road closures due to floods, sharing the driving with a learner driver with an 80kph limit, and stopping more frequently and for longer to look after Natahlia. We couldn't really rock up to the hospital at midnight with a screaming baby so I haven't got to see mum yet.

So upset about Ouima too. Many thoughts to you and your family Ouima

Family is stirring, time to go..

love you all

Thinking of you Suzy. A last look in for you here before I leave for bowls.

Suzy, so glad you were able to check in. Where are you staying? and where is your Mum, hospital, hospice, a care facility or in her home? Just wondering the logistics of it all, if you do not mind sharing. I can imagine the trip was long and difficult with a baby. how did she do on the trip? I had forgotten roads were still affected by floods. detours are never fun.

Eddie and I got my riding mower running again today. It cranked once this year, and was driven into the dome, remember me saying? Well, it was left with key in it and I am thinking perhaps not in the totally OFF position, and drained the battery. Eddie charged the battery, gave it some fresh gas, did you know gas could go bad over winter?? Now it is again cranking first time, every time.

We moved some other large things outside, cause they were just in the way, making more room to move about. still so much to do, the more we remove, the more comes into view. I found some more large ticket items hidden, like a 200 amp electrical panel with breakers, small(well small enough to easily hide) but pricey.

Eddie found a few things he bought today also, it is adding up. I came in and took a nap, not sure why I was so tired, just from all the heat? Accumulation of bits of tired all weekend when i ws busy. Gee, just a year ago, I could do so much more than I am capable of now, it does make me angry. I want to do so much, but that pneumonia and associated illness this winter just has lingering effects. I am learning, do some, then rest, and take the pain meds, that is what they are for. I have recovered from todays, may have another day tomorrow, if sister comes down.

Heidi, I do hope you are in bed and resting today. wishing long lasting pain relief for you and for Viv after back injections.

June, like you, I keep checking in to see if there is more news. difference is, I get blabber fingered once I get here. Taking my meds, one of two things happen. I get very talkative, or I fall asleep. Typing here is better than talking to myself, eh?

Hugs to each of you, with extras. prayers for Suzy and family, Mama and family and any others needing them.

Off to a baseball game for Dylan. See you all in the morning. Hoping I hear good news next time I check in.

Good maEn everyone! Busy couple of days ahead. Darrell & I going to Pueblo, Colorado from Wednesday to Saturday.

Suzy: to you and your family. Praying for a peaceful passing for your mom.

Love & Hugs & Prayers to Ouima too!!

Congrats on selling the boat Broni!
Had more to say, can't remember what else I read.
Love & Hugs to all with extras!!

Up from my all-day nap, and hoping to hear good news about Ouima and/or Suzy's Mum. Well, no news is good news, I guess.

Before I go back to bed, I have to say that I FINALLY have a canary sitting on eggs!!!!

And both pairs of my new Forbes Parrot Finches are building nests already! I was told that this species is difficult to raise. So far, it looks good. They must like their new home.

Heidi, congrats on the sitting canary. Do you know how many eggs? Or must leave them alone while sitting? I do hope your day long nap is a big help, insures the epidural lasts longer. how is the back at the moment?

Good Evening, Fellow Sudokuaholics!

Heidi and Viv, I hope both of you benefit from your pain-killing shots!

Thank you, Stella, and others who have notified us about Mama and are trying to keep us up-to-date!

Tricia, sounds like you had a very busy and productive Sunday! Just remember to pace yourself! I'm so glad you take a nap when necessary, rather than pushing yourself to do more! So glad some things are selling!

Suzy, I'm glad you made it safely on your long journey, and with a little baby as a passenger! I'm sure your Mum will be so glad to see you, your family, and her new great grandie!

Almost 2 years ago when MIL was in hospital and not doing well, D came with her brand-new baby to see her grandma and let her grandma see the new great-grandie. The nurses had a fit and said the baby shouldn't even be on the floor. We did a quick visit into the room so MIL and baby could be introduced, then I took baby to an out-of-the-way and little used waiting room while hubby and our D visited with MIL. The visit did a world of good, but little more than a week later, MIL was gone.

Well, it's late here. (I know you're all shocked!) We need to be up early in the morning, so I need to call it a night. Lots and lots of {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}, , positive thoughts, healing vibes, and prayers for all those in need! Good Night, Everyone!

Heidi, that's wonderful news about the canary and your new Forbes Parrot Finches! This is shaping up to be quite a late winter/early spring on Surreal Farm! I hope your back is doing well and you will get some more sleep!

MizT, I hope you sleep well tonight!

Wishing everyone a restful and good night's sleep when the time is right.

Hi folks.
It really doesn't pay to be MIA around here..
Suzy's mum & Ouima...
LOVE AND HUGS
GOTTA GO..lACHIE WANTS THE INTERET..[still sharing moblie broadband]

Hi all. Keep looking in for news. I did look at the other site and Suzy was taking the baby in to meet her great grandmother. I hope they took some photos and also one of the four generations.
Also keep thinking of Mama and hope she is doing well.

On a lighter note our team won our bowls game by 10 points but the other team lost by more than that so we only got one point out of a possible five. I started off playing like a champion, unfortunately that did not last!!
Hubby asked "how long to dinner" answer 10-15 minutes. What does he do?? Go and cut the lawns. @0 minutes later and he is still out there. Need cutting with all the rain we are having and he is off to India on Thursday.

.. also looking for news June..
Well done with at bowls.
Back to working on the shopping list.. running out of all sorts of things... so NOT good.
BFN

Morning all. Coffee is ready, help yourself. I also keep peeking in here, and on FB, looking for news. I got to spend time with Mamacita. Her son lives about 30 minutes 30 minutes from me. Last time she came down, we all went to lunch. Me and the boys, my parents, Mama, her son and granddaughter. We had a wonderful time. Even my husband had a great time. She is a great lady.

Following is a link to an incident that happened a few hours north of me. Racism is rearing its ugly head. The boy that was killed goes to a high school in the neighborhood I grew up in. This has been making me sick. If you follow the link, make sure you take out the spaces when you copy/paste.

Tami, I had read about this sad incident recently. Nothing feels right about it. Why was the alleged killer ever held responsible?

Evening all,
First an update from here... Mum has bad pain, but in the hospital we are able to get her pain killers every 2 hours. Different ones each time of course. I almost laughed today because they offered her panadol - yeah right. There was almost a party in her room today there were so many of us. I don't think tomorrow will be much better, but we will work it better as we have all seen her now. She has chosen to go treatment free and straight to palliative care. Hard for us, but her choice.... I have no idea how much time she has.

Your time together is a blessing Suzy, cherish every moment ♥

Ditto what Gail said, Suzy.
I'm so glad that your Mum got to meet her Great-Grandie. You'd regret it for years if she didn't.

Panadol???? Are they nuts? Do they think she has a little boo-boo on her knee? Now is the time for the big guns, including marijuana.

I hope that the reason we haven't heard any updates about Ouima is that there is no bad news.
Mamacita.
