Hello to Everyone!

SANDY, we did have an earthquake last evening about this time...a 4.5. It rumbled and shook the house for a few seconds, but nothing seemed to have fallen down.

Now we are expecting some hot Santa Ana winds, and we are on fire alert - again.

I'm off to "watch" (listen) to Jeopardy!, so hope you all have a warm restful night. See ya' tomorrow.

Helen

Hi Sandy, in response to your question I had normal hearing and only started to notice a slight problem around the time I graduated from high school. It just gradually declined over about a 20 year or so period and I hear virtually nothing. Hearing aids won't help in my case(probably might have in the very early stages). I manage pretty well with lip-reading. Never learned sign language. Figured it would basically be a waste of time since VERY few people would know how to understand it.

Nancy B, I was a Bing Crosby fan and when Elvis came on the scene, I told my kids, "He will never last!" Boy, do they remind me of that every chance they get!

Rosie, I hope your day went well.

Grace, I had to laugh at your "nice calm" bubble bath!

My son got himself a new Mac for Christmas and he is having much too much fun with all his pictures, every five minutes he would tell me how awsome the new computer was in arranging all the photos. (It doesn't have any games on it, so I didn't think it was that awsome!) LOL

Sue, poor little Marco, bet that hurt!

Margaret, that card game sounds like fun! We play "Hand and Foot".

I saw a cute cartoon today, an elderly Senior said, "I knew the romance was over when I drank champagne out of my ladies slipper and choked on a Dr. Scholl's foot pad!"

Back again,

Still snowing and weather man says will probably till 4 p.m. tomorrow Sat.

Now Tippy and Nancy Z and Darlene and anybody else who is having snow coming down. DON’T send it all here. You can keep a little LOL

John and I are hunkered down pretty good and will stay so until we get a thaw. Have enough food to last for quite awhile

Grace, Big full moon.? Well If I can’t see it out my window then I guess I will have to miss it. Too brrr here.

I need to finish straightening up my pictures too. Oh now I wish I had of put dates and people’s names on them years ago. Then my mind was sharper well sharper than now.

Speaking of lizards. My son says the new apartment building they are in a guy has a pet iguana. . Now they have two cats so have to pay extra. A guy who lives down the hall (I assume he is paying extra) has the iguana who he has on a leash and walks up and down the hallway,. My son said it was at least 3 ft long

Joyce glad to see you back, I just heard on the news about the terrible flooding in parts of Washington and also in Portland Ore. How close are you to Seattle? .

Penny knowing the way men are your DH must have felt bad to go to Dr. Hope the medicine does the trick for ohm.

Jeane, if you don’t mind me asking. Have you always been deaf or is it just partial? My FIL was partially deaf. He lost a lot of his hearing in about 1938. They didn’t have all the hearing aids then like now, It was pretty rough my DH said. One of his first ones he had was such a big one the batteries and such and when he got a new the size of a cigarette pack later in life he was in hog heaven so to speak..

Going to make some Chili so off to kitchen... Bye

Sandy

Dear Friends;Zora: I loved your thought for the day.

Groovin Granny: How true, how true.

Was out the door to go to Dr. about my hip, back and knees when dd#2 called and precious grandson, Marco cut his head open and needed 8 stitches above his eye. I had to check on him and bring ice cream(of course) it broke my heart to see him look so pitiful. Boys will be Boys!

My dear friend who lost her husband a year or so ago is going down quiet fast and is looking for a home health care. She has nursing home ins. but has to have somesort of healt care for the first 100 days and then can go into a nursing home. She doesn't want to move from her home. My heart goes out to her. We should all feel lucky that we can be as independent as possible for as long as possible.

Baack to my Dr. visit. Got there at 11:00 appt at 11:30 but got there early to fill out papers again some old questions and then the girl said he was 1and 1/2 hrs behind and I would see him after 1:00. Needless to say I changed appt. to Feb. I guess I will take advil until then. I just couldn't wait any longer was hurting already.

Enough about my aches and pains. We are going to Sea Island for a early supper so had better get something done before we go.

I wish all of my friends a very quiet, peaceful and restful afternoon and night. Sue

GS#7 was in an accident at school and cut his head open above his eye and needed 8 stitches.

Get ready - the biggest full Moon of 2009 is coming this weekend.

It's a 'perigee Moon' as much as 30% brighter than lesser Moons.

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/08jan_bigmoon2009.htm?list37017

Just checked, it will be chilly (-17°F) but clear tomorrow night. 
Hope we don't have to stand out there forever.

Good afternoon from a partly sunny Indiana, it's 33 out there, only 19 yesterday.......brrr, it sure was cold & the wind was blowing.

Haven't done much around here today, cleaned both of the bathrooms & did a load of towels. Wrote a couple of letters & took them to the post office.

Beverly.......your description of your GS sitting on you lap waiting for the bus nearly did me in....bless his heart, he really loves his Gigi!

Rosie......hope the move went well & Scott gets all settled. Is he far from you? Oh my, something else for you to worry about.

DH tucked away in his shop today, came in early last night, still coughing, got some meds from the doctor........he finally went yesterday..........what a surprise.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hello again eveyone. I guess it's becoming pretty obvious that I am NOT getting many of my projects done as I am spending wayyy too much time on here .

Back from the dentist and it was not a bad experience at all, since it was simply for a cleaning and even fillings aren't bad as I've got the nicest dentist around. He always numbs for fillings and even pre-numbs with a cotton swab before giving the numbing infection so all u really feel of it is pressure. Had to laugh at how many can't stand the thought of the dentist. I shared that opinion as a kid cause the guy I had was a real terror...nice man but drilled till I was practially left finger indentations in the chair arm. I more than dreaded the dentist, too, in those days.

DARLENE ~ Where are you that you are having a blizzard today? We are anticipating about 6 inches starting late tonight or early tomorrow.

MARGARET ~ Thanks for the nice words about my being back posting . Your siggies are lovely as are all the others. I just love to look at them so keep them coming ladies. Wish I could do them, too, but the last thing I need is something else to get me back in my "office" playing on the toy some more .

CONNIE ~ Yes, poor Donna de's grand lizard did pass on. Trey's looks pretty much just like Beardsley and his lizard is also named Beardsley II after Donna de's .

BRENDA ~ Love that cat with the bad hair day. If the color were silver it would look very much like me some mornings .

BEVERLY ~ Thank you for the bearded dragon links and picture. I will send them on to Trey's house and we can check them out this afternoon while I am visiting with him and Brooke. He'll love them.

SANDY ~ I love 50s music and always have. Who are your favorites from back then?

NANCY Z. ~ Another dentist dreader(smiling) and thanks for the fun wishes for the grands. They keep my stepping some days!

WAVING to KATHY, GRACE, LEISA, SANDY and all others who stop by. Have some pecan struessel bread in the oven so better get back to it.

Just a quick run through then I will read more posts and chat more later....

Got an e-mail from Sis. She called her son (grandsons Father) and asked him if Stephen O.K. Well her son didn’t know anything about it so she about freaked him out. He said Stephen had called him but I guess it was before the quake hit. Later he called and said all O.K. He was in a different part of that area But in meantime her other son had flown to Ca. for business and called and said hey Mom they had an earthquake here,. Really neat. Guess it was the kind they get quite often there. My Sis says what's going on ? Don’t do this to me. You know we Mothers worry about all our kids no matter how old they are.

Be back later We are getting that lovely snow now you all are blowing south ha. Sandy

Margaret L-Sorry I missed you. We were typing at the same time I guess. Love all your panda siggies. Hope he didn’t leave too much hair in the tub today. I love that card game. We call it Phase 10 or Shanghi Rummy. Used to play it all the time.

Hugs,

~~Leisa~~

Hi, CS.

Like GRACE, I may make it during the morning, too. Tons of pics here, too, GRACE.

DARLENE, you N. Dakotans keep sharing blizzards and cold with us. You really don't have to be so generous. LOL We have a quick kitchen committee at our church, too.

TIPPY, not to my ears yet, but snow is blowing and drifting. The end is tomorrow, so who knows what we will get.

BRENDA, we are definitely having soup weather. I, too, liked the story.

SANDY, as I get older and my knees get creakier, in and out of the tub is quite an adventure. And, it is not a pretty picture. Prayers for DS's GS in Costa Rica.

JEANE, have fun with DGC, but not too much fun with the dentist.

BEVERLY, now I'm singing, I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles.

ROSIE, good luck with today's unloading and getting settled.

MABEL, I love the Ko-Ko stories. A journal of his antics may be a very interesting read.

NANCY B, I wasn't really ga-ga over Elvis, but I like his hymn album, too. And, I have always like the Hawaiian Wedding Song.

MARGARET E, every family has one. And, if not a family member a friend (?). We have a friend who thinks he is always right because he is the loudest. Catching a cold, you may need BEVERLY's "roll" of Kleenex.

ZORA, we watched the football game after church, too. Love the FL quarterback. How refreshing to hear a young man speak so eloquently and display his Christian attitude.

Getting ready for lunch and looking out the window to watch the snow.

Hugs and prayers for all CS.

Nancy Z.

Tippy-Thought I better jump in and answer your questions this morning before I forget what they were.

Yes, she is doing better most of the time. But DH has a puter there for business and he has caught her several times playing games. He is going to have to get a lost or password on there so it can only go to the business sites.

No I am not done painting. I am slow and have to do some work to some cupboards. My house is almost 100 years old and so are the cupboards. As the house has moved and settled over the years some of the doors are out of whack and won’t quite close. So some sanding and whittling is going to have to go on. But I do love the colors and the look. It is an old house and needs to look like an old house.

Grace-Can I send all my pictures up to you too? I am finally getting them all put in a big tub. I figured if there was a fire or something they would be one of the main things that can’t be replaced and I wanted something that could be drug outside quickly.

I am hungry, what’s for breakfast this morning? Guess I will go see what I can find.
