Ruby, how are you doing? Allergies any better?

Dino, hope Jasmine starts feeling better. My mom called it an aspirator. My sister called it the snot sucker. [smile]

Here I go again. Getting logged off without even trying.

Tropical glen, one word, is the site you are thinking of.

Thanks Gail.

No worries Becky. How you doin? Been ages since we made it here at the same time.

Doing better. It seems like we miss each other by minutes sometimes.

I'm just having a quick look around the place, it is 1pm and I have sooo many things to do, that of course I am putting off in true SA style!

Do what I do. Put on a pair of blinders and all you can see is the computer screen.

My sister's and I have just had my mother over for the week. It was lovely to see her and we are ever so grateful that she makes the pilgrimage every now and then but I think that was probably the last time she will travel across the border. At 81, I think she has well earned the right to have us come to her. She likes to try and come over whenever there is another great-grandie born and this time, it was to meet the latest addition to our tribe, my niece's son, Zeke.

What a brill idea! Do they sell them in pooter stores?

It's nice that she comes. Does she drive the whole way?

Made my own. Bought a baseball cap and glued cardboard flaps on the sides. Works great and cheap.

Mum has never had a license! I remember the story of Dad trying to teach her to drive before they were married. Once out on the road and he never offered again and she never asked so she is terribly reliant on others for transport. This time, one of my sis's had gone over to spend a week in Adelaide and brought Mum back with her. She then spent the week playing musical beds and flew home yesterday.

My FIL is in his 80's. His driving would scare the hair off an ape. Speeds, tailgates, etc. and thinks other drivers need lessons.

hehe Sounds typically male to me!

Well, thank you very much Becky for helping me lose yet more time but I can hear those laundry baskets groaning from here. Uniforms to be gathered and washed, loads to be hung out, dry wash to be brought in, folded and sorted. Hang on, didn't I do all that last weekend???
You take care of yourself Becky, its been great chatting. ps Could you post a warning every time your FIL is on the road!!!

Won't ride with him anymore. The last time I rode with him, laid down in the backseat so that I wouldn't see anything. The last thing I remember is him doing 80 mph and less than 5 feet behind the driver in front.

Becky, sorry you had trouble with the tropicalglen website. I'm the one that posted it. It was recommended by a friend, and neither he nor I have had any problems. So do you think someone hacked the site?

Will do Gail. I have to go too. Going with neighbor early tomorrow to take 2 cats to the vet.

Jane, it's not your fault. Not blaming you in the least. The next day, I went to the library and the site was down. I haven't checked it since.

Thanks to all who gave advice re aspirators etc. I'll pass the info onto my DIL (who is no dill!). Jassie much better today, but good to know for future reference.

Morning all, anyone still about? I just put the coffee on, so come and have a cuppa.



A very good morning for hot anything, temp outside is 42, our coldest morning of the fall. House temp is following along, now at a chill 60 degrees, but I am resisting turning on central heat, not YET. This is just an early cool snap, and will be warmer today than yesterday, by tomorrow we shall need AC in the daytime again. I do not like to run both in same day, just funny that way heheheh. I think I might go and bake something. We have not had muffins in a while. I have a cake mix, buiscuits always appreciated by hubby, decidions, decisions.

BECKY, thanks for the information about tropical glen, I am pretty sure both hubby and i went there with no problems. Guess you were just the "lucky" one! I will tell Al you had problems so he can do a check on our puters. I know you run anti virus and such, what do you run?

I can't believe that nobody's been around since this morning. Well, it is Saturday here.

Anybody here? The Auburn football game is making me nervous at the moment; but we've just gone to halftime. I'm okay now. No more pacing (in my mind); no more jumping up and down (really).

Well, halftime is just about oer. Now I've got to figure out how to hold the lead and how to win this football game. Hmmmmm.
See y'all later.

Im here Cyndi, about to go into the Garden and tackle those weeds..

Cyndi...I understand your angst while watching your football team...hope it came out as you wanted...my Penn State team won big today, yet even though they were playing well and had a big lead at halftime, I didn't want to announce it and jinx it...Oh what lives we lead as fans....wouldn't want it any other way!

June, Having caught up on the recent postings, I see that you are undergoing back problems. I really hope that the back stretching is helping...I understand that its good...but should you decide that you need surgery...please don't abandon the idea out of hand....much can and is being done toady that leads to greater comfort. My hubby has had back problems since his early 20's. He swore that he'd never have surgery because they couldn't be sure it would work and was so dangerous...yet at 81, he has had surgery and is doing very well. He also has diabetes, which has hindered his recovery by playing havoc in some areas...but the back surgery itself, has been successful. Just listen carefully and read as much as you can...I do wish you a pain free future...or at least one that's more comfortable than you presently have.

post seem to be having trouble getting thru...so I guess I have again missed out on a good chat session...but I will be around from time to time.

Cyndi, How did you become a AUBURN fan and yet live in SC?? That is Al's team, has been for years! I am surprised he was not watching the game, how did it turn out?

WHERE IS EVERYONE?? is the page broken and cannot post?? everyone outside enjoying the mild weather? YOO HOO, come and chat friends!!

Hi MizT, not sure if you are still around but I've been looking in every so often for a while and missed your second post.

Weather has been lovely here. D#1 and I took Callie to dog training this afternoon and it felt like a summers day.

another beautiful day ahead here in Perth

ain't that true, Rolanda

too right, Mary

Mary and Rola, enjoy your lovely spring day today! We had a nice warm fall day today here, no more cold at night, just cool now.

I did a dirty job today, but should be over for a couple of years. I had to defrost my freezer. I did not buy a frost free when I bought it, and I should have. Al helped and it did not take a couple hours to get done. He was the wringer of wet towels hehehe. Only thing I have undone still is to wash the towels and cloths I used to contain the water that dripped! Save that for morning, so I can hang them out.

Hello Everybody. Anybody?

MizT: We lived in Auburn for a little over three years while my husband finished his degree. I fell in love with Auburn, with Alabama, with the Tigers with everything about the area. Unfortunately, with him in the Navy, we were never able to get back. Oh, by the way, we won 8-7. WAR EAGLE.

, be back in a while.
