Over the topp we go!!

ALL...thought I had better turn the PC off...particularly after Stella's comment!! [actually i can't sleep if I know things haven't been turned off] Catch you in a few hours.

Well done Stella...I'm hoping I will get up to some good news about Susan and Heidi..I'm very concerned for them.

Ian had a school project for Health class where he had to pick an issue concerning teens. He picked obesity. On his poster he showed a 16oz bottle of soda and 11 5 pound bags of sugar. The fact he posted to go with the pictures was that if you drink one bottle of soda a day, you will consume 57lbs of sugar in one year! Yikes!!

Oh, my good night to Bean didn't go through!!! Good night Bean!

I'm off to get some ffuts done. Have physio this afternoon and then have to pick up Ian from school for his two soccer games. Have a great day!

Goodnight SA7, see ya in about a week.

Good Maen dear ones...
...can't believe all that has happened since I posted yesterday morning.
Dear Suzy and Susan - my heart was in my throat reading about your situations...and I was so impressed with the good cheer you exuded throughout your posts.

Broni - have a lovely trip.
Keeping Ally and her arm in my daily prayers and have sore knees from how much I've been down on them with Susan and her family in mind.
Also - hoping things improve for Heidi -
my goodness there is so much to be grateful for...especially you dear friends.

Cyn - thank you for the link for the flood pictures...and Susan, thank you for taking the time to send pictures yesterday. I was overwhelmed!
Garbage truck just woke Mike...so off I go.
I'm hiking with my friend and her dogs this morning but will be home and back to check on everyone later today.

Brenda! I realize this will actually be tomorrow for you. Hope you have something special planned to celebrate your day!

HAHAHAHA! Confused the "friends" box with the birthday box...in the words of Rosanne Rosanadana "Never Mind!"

I've probably missed you Broni, but hope you have a lovely relaxing break

Vici it was a lovely birthday wish even if it is a few weeks too early. It is actually my daughter's 25th birthday this Saturday so I have been busy making birthday cards and buying little pressies

MizT
The frost will be mainly in the north of Fla. Here in S. Fla.it will be in the 30's to 40's. Will have the heater on tonite.

TAMI, I hope that temp holds true. the national weather service had the wind chill warning painted on the map down to Miami. I saw it first on the Melbourne FL site. although the predicted actual temp was in the 30's, the wind with this cold front is brutal, and it is dropping the 'feels like" temp by 10-15 degrees!

We have 2 more nights of it here, bbbrrrrr. If my furnace is having trouble keeping my house warm, I worry how cold it is inside Heidi's house.

Today with the wind blowing cold air through the holes in my Crocs, for the first time ever, it is too cold for Crocs without socks! I think I shall look for my wool socks now.

Morning all!
Maybe Heidi will go into the place with the public PCs to post again today - apart from keeping in touch with us she will be in a warm room for a while!

Vici, I'm glad you confused the boxes, made me feel better about not knowing which end is up at the moment!

MizT, that weather sounds too cold for crocs even with socks! I'd have my long uggies on inside, and leather boots with fluffy socks outside!

Stella, TWO soccer games! On a school night? They work them hard in NY.

i can see there are people here and they are letting me get away with this...

Well that's why - I can't count!

Morning all.
Poor Ally,she is a brave girl,hope she hasn't any pain any more.And poor Mum,hope you are now getting some worry free sleep.
Still have Heidi and Susan on my wish list that everything improves quickly,but the forecast for their areas doesn't suggest this.
Another cyclone could develop,and more cold on the way.
Have missed you Broni but have a great time.

Suzy, How is Ally's arm today. I had something the same when Sharon started high school. About the second week she fell off the parallel bars at school but I was out (buying bricks to build a BBQ) and no mobile phones in those days. Her break was just above the wrist.

Hi June, I woke Ally around 6 to give her some pain meds (empty stomach? bit worried about that) because she was in a fair bit of pain last night and I wanted to head it off a the pass today. She has gone back to sleep and will hopefully wake up pain free... or reduced anyway

I had a busy day yesterday. Took Laura to the Aquarium in the city. We went in by train. But typical when we got to the aquarium all she wanted were the sharks which were near the end of a one way stream of people. Hard to explain to 3 year pld that you will get there eventually. Was quite warm and the train coming home was not airconditioned.(Random trains arrive, some old , some newer, some with AC and others not)

I do not know how young people with families can afford to take their children to places like aquariums and zoos with the prices they charge. Cost me $15 for Laura as she has turned three.

Glanced through the posts last night but cannot remember now what comments I should have made.
Thinking of Susan and Heidi.
Must go and do some stuff so the floors can be Vacced while I go and do some shopping. A little girl has had some great fun with scissors and old Christmas cards. Was OK until she decided to cut them into very TINY pieces!

Tell me about it June! It can cost an absolute fortune! And if you are not organised enough to pack food and drink... gasp!

Groan June - that is still Ally's favourite past time and she is just a tad past 3 years old!

BTW - forgot to say I gave Ally a gentle hug last night and told her it was from Sudoku people, made sure she knew you specified gentle! She smiled big and hugged you all back!

SUZY, JUNE, I have graduated from the cutting paper into tiny pieces. NOW I cut tiny bits of string and fabric hehehe You should see my sewing room floor. On second thought, maybe you should not.

You just reminded me MizT, I decided yesterday to wait until today to look at your pics as my energy levels were a little low yesterday - off to do it now.

They are wonderful!!

June, just went back to re-read some posts and realised the implication of your post about no phones and Sharon. How did they get around that? Did they call an ambulance? We didn't even have an answering machine back then!

Morning wonderful people.
Vici thank you for such a wonderful ripsnorter of a laugh so early in the morning.
Suzy I'm glad Ally appreciated her 'gentle' hug...I hope she will be up to singing on Sat [if that is what she wants to do]
Tricia it is mandatory for sewing rooms to look like that...or that is my story and I'm sticking to it!!

Hello lovely SA7 people.
Have I missed Broni? I wanted to say goodbye and I hope the weather isn't too hot down there.
Stella - what a coincidence - we saw 'Taken' the other day and I had the same reaction. I usually hate violence but if anyone hurt my kids or grandkids, I could happily kill them with my bare hands. And it is a warning to beware of strangers.
Nothing from Susan or Heidi yet today?

Mostly picked up so will be able to go shopping and coffee with neighbours. My turn to pay.

ken played bowls yesterday for the first time for weeks. The last lot of antibiotics cleared up the cough and helped the leg. The leg is till slightly red and swollen but can now walk anyway.

I am sure eaa is watching the numbers! Getting prepared to pounce.

I do see lots of lights on. Hi Cyn, Suzy and Judy.
