Sudokuaholics Anonymous 9A

I have a peacock due to arrive at the main USPS hub in the next county in half an hour. This is a yearling blue pied. In other words, he has odd splashes of white over his body and tail.

He's here now, and settling in.
Time for me to go to bed.

Just dropping in to say goodnight. Mum's last day here so we had a nummy baked dinner. Big night tomorrow night... Ally might have gained a couple of solos as there are so many sick people out there! Love you all....

Aggggggggggggggghhhhh! I just had a long answer to all the posts. I had opened a seperate page so I could read and answer. some wrong click of the mouse ahd the page I was writing on closed. AGGGHHHHHHHHHE. No time to re do this morning.

I have to call about tylenol arthritis formula that was recalled. I have a bottle of it, took most of it. This might explain the stomach problems I had, Doc and I thought it was the metformin, my BS medication. that was the only medication I was taking that had reported stomach problems, UNTIL NOW. The recalled Tylenol could cause stomach pain and nausea, and diarrhea, yep, that was what was happening. I took almost the entire bottle over time.

I got squished yesterday. Easiest in and out I have had. Hospital where I go has a parking problem usually and the parking deck is a long distance. they discontinued the valet parking, but I phoned fore I went and they do have a shuttle on call, phone them and they come get you. Well, I tried the lot out front when I got there, LOTS of empty spaces, and I got one right in front of the section I needed, the diagnostic center. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Waiting rooms were almost empty. Perhaps because this is between holidays and not much going on? I know most hospitals are low census this week and many doctors are not in, so not many tests scheuled? I am glad it was such an easy trip. I also got the tech, BETH, who is wonderful, sweet, and does not trap your tender parts in a vise. A good day. Results will not be ready till next year, most likely.

OK, I am off to phone about the recalled tylenol. Hugs to all.

Heidi, with a husband who could ruin a shirt in hours, I think you need to buy his shirts at a thrift store. Back when Al and I first met, he was working on copy machines. Many of this older accounts still had liquid toner machines. That stuff was IMPOSSIBLE to remove from a shirt, and he always seemed to spill it. His shirts came from thrift store.

Nola, do drop in to say HI and let us know how you are doing, You are excused from reading all the pages. Best wishes for your studies.

Tami, good luck with the sewing machine. Do you still have the manual for it? If not, many of them are available as a free download online. The one I had included instructions of how to balance the tension, that is the most frequent problem with the Kenmore machines. I loved my Kenmore, still have it, not working, stored somewhere. It is the machine I used and sewed miles of seams on it making the girls and my clothes and all the curtains and draperies for my new house, Oh, over 40 years ago.

Morning everyone!
Oh MzT - I just HATE when that happens (wrong "click")...sure hope you find out about that tylenol.
Nola - congrats on the studies and I, too, hope you find time to just pop in once in awhile.
Gail - so glad to hear Beth made it OK - can't wait to hear about her time there...I just know she will have a fabulous trip!
Good to see you Suzanne. I have been through Wendover often on my trips across the states. Never won there either - haha! Glad you guys had fun.
Heidi - your peacock that is on the way sounds so exotic! Hope it arrives safely.
Suzy - good luck to Ally for her solos tomorrow night and blessings to your mum on her way home. Sounds like she had a nice long stay with you guys.
Tami - OUTSTANDING! Sounds like you got a real jump on the New Year and getting organized. I'm hoping to follow in your footsteps here over the next couple of weeks.
Raining here and no snow like they predicted. Can you guess that I am WAY bummed????
Hugs and well wishes to you all!

Vici, I found about the Tylenol. the bottle I have is on the recall list. It contained 100 caplets. I took almost 90 of them over the last 2 or 3 months. Sorry you did not get your wanted snow. You can have any they might want to send my way. I can do that much for a friend

I think I've caught IH's bug. I felt nauseous all night and spent this morning worshipping the porcelain god.

At least I never touch tylenol. It has never worked for me anyways.

OH Heidi, sorry you caught the bug. Hope you are better soon. I guess more days of nothing being cooked at your house, eh?

Last day of 2009. I always feel maudlin as the year ends. Then apprehensive of what the new year will have in store for us. Today we need to visit a friend who lost her husband on Boxing day and then a new grand niece who was born Monday.
Heidi, I am sorry you have caught the bug. Please do not pass it on down here! My Hubby has a bad cold (other members in the family have had it!) so I am keeping away from him.
MizT, Hope getting rid of that Tylenol bottle will help you feel better. What a mixed blessing medications can be.
For all who may Pop in today I will wish you all a Happy New Year. May it only have good things in store for us all.

Morning all!
When Mum says she is going to leave at the crack of dawn, she means she is going to leave at the crack of dawn! She left nearly an hour ago. I got my goodbye hug by calling her - she came back to give me one...

June, an ending and a new beginning. I think the order you are visiting is best, sadness followed by something to cheer you up. Sending cyber hugs....♥

MizT, I'm sorry you had all of those weeks wondering what was going on before they found out that it was your Tylenol. I hope that your health improves! Though somehow you have managed to improve even with potentially contaminated pain pills!

Good afternoon all. It is still Wednesday here. The congratulations on the organizing are to soon. I got one small area of the garage cleaned. It would take a dumpster to ever be able to fit a car in there again. I am hoping to try the machine out one of these days. I brought home a big stack of papers to grade and have not started yet. I have 5 days to finish.

Vici, isn't it sad that some people are getting way too much snow and you can't get any? I hope you get some before the end of winter. Actually, doesn't your snow pack keep SoCal in water for summer? If I've remembered that correctly I bet you aren't the only one wishing you'd get snow!

Hi Tami, grading papers over the holidays... hmmm... you could have planned that better! That's one benefit of a school year that goes from January to December - no grading over christmas! Though there is lesson planning.

I'll need to have a nanna nap today to make it through tonight. Ally has her usual songs with Pride (about a dozen I think) with 3 of her songs in that bunch - Pride backing her. She also has 2 solos with no people backing, which might turn into 4 because there are so many sick people out there. She was supposed to sing I Got Nerve and Who Said (both Hannah Montanna) but decided she wanted to try Colours of the Wind (from Pocahontas) and Ben (MJ). She might get to do all 4. Hubby and I were talking yesterday about how it's lucky she doesn't sound on stage like the sound that wafts through the house when she's rehearsing. It's awful! I remember frantically calling her teacher one time asking 'are you sure she's ready?' One theory is that it's the acoustics. I'll stick with that one.

Our weather forecast for the next 3 days is snow showers. I wish I could send it to you, Vici.

I think I'm gonna lay down for a while.

Suzy, if you could record Ben and Colors of the Wind, I would love to hear Ally singing them. I happen to love both of those songs. Tell her I said they are good choices.

Hi to all on the SA page. For those of you who do not regularly visit the Easy Sudoku page, please follow the following link (which should be put in as a continuous link with no spaces):

Thank you Greg!

Tami, I'll give it a go. I'm actually a bit nervous for her as she has only sung Colours of the Wind in public once before - about 15 months ago, and never Ben. Also she's in the program at about 8.45pm after a 5pm start so may be a tad tired. Oh well, only time will tell...

Suzy, I am sure she is going to do fine. Moms are always more nervous than the kids are.
Greg, thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful New Year.

Greg, thanks for the greeting, I always like Jacquie Lawson cards.

Suzy, could you please tell Ally, 'She rocks!' I reckon she is the bravest kid I know.

MizT, hope the Tylenol debacle is what was causing your problems.

Tami, any little cleared space is a big space trying to get out! I still say well done.

June, a day of mixed feelings. All strength to you while you visit your friend who's husband passed away. What a sad anniversary that will be each year.

Vici, so far we haven't heard another peep out of Beth, but I think that's a good thing!

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very



May 2010 be better and brighter than this last year.

Thank you Greg, I love those ecards.

Tami... I believe that the hardest part of any project is starting it. From now on, the job is a smaller one. I still say "WELL DONE", too.

BTW, the hats arrived today. I'm too sick to get enthusiastic about trying them on yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

Good morning lovely people.
Heidi - Gil's illness has not only spread to you but across the Pacific - I've been nauseous for 3 days now. Thought it was over-indulgence but not now. Looks like my New Year celebrations will be cancelled in favour of a cup of weak tea, a lie down, and a play on the pooter when I can muster the energy.

Happy New Year to all my dear lovely SA friends - may it be safe, healthy, prosperous and happy not just to each and every one of you but to your beloved families and friends. MizT, June and Nola, in particular, are in my mind and my good thoughts and wishes go with you into the New Year.

CynB.
At least I'm not as sick as IH was/is. My food is only escaping from one end. I think I'll be OK by tomorrow. Plus, I asked him if he'd taken any tylenol recently and he said that he did. I never touch the stuff.

Hope you feel well soon, Heidi.

Greg - meant to say this on Easy - that card was great, thanks!
Suzy - best wishes to Ally tonight - she will do well, I'm sure.
MizT - I just can't beieve the Tylenol recall!!! I'm not usually in favour of litigation but the discomfort you have suffered over the past months unnecessarily needs to be addressed!
Well - people, I'm now exhausted and off for a little nap - Ciao!

to all my Sudokuaholics Anonymous friends.
I hope the New Year brings great health and luck to all of us and our loved ones.

In case anyone is interested in what a Pied Peacock looks like, hallmonitor just approved some smilies quickly. The white areas differ on each bird.

Heidi and Cyn, hope you both are feeling better soon.

Wishing all my sudoku friends a . I hope that 2010 is a wonderful year for everyone and all the families and friends. Thank you to everyone who was there for me this year when I needed your support.

Somebody has got to do it!!!

I'll go over the TOPP, then back to bed.
