Sheri, you are correct. We all need to look around instead of complaining so much..as you said, we have shelter, food and most likely more clothing than we really need...just to name the basics.

Every time someone asks me how I am, I say, "well, I did wake up this morning".
And that is how I try to look at it all the time.
WE should be thankful for what we have instead of telling the world what we do not have...

Going to bed soon. I think tomorrow will be a resting day.

I will say good night now---sweet dreams wavy

Amen to being thankful for what we have.

On another note....DH just got a lay off from work until November. They sent home over half the crew, they kept the men with the most seniority. It gets worse each year...lay offs went from a month off to six months off in just a few years.

So sorry to hear of the layoff, Sunny. I hope this all works out for you. But if it has to be, I guess now is a good time for it, as your DH will be able to do more outdoor work around home.

More rain do today and tomorrow around here. My DD who lives in Southern Missouri, has had her school closed so she is home and will be for several days.
Closing roads in MO continually...."A wet day in St. Louis" is what the news is saying 2 to 4 inches due.

Good morning.
I hope your DH finds some summer work to fill the gap, Sunny.
That's a lot of rain, Carol. Keep safe.
I've got to get a few things done.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Sunny sorry to here about the layoff. Hope he finds work quickly. A man underfoot is aggravating to say the least.

Junie my rain gauge says we got 4 inches last week in 2 days but it was a slow steady rain so it was sort of nice. Rain is a blessing.

Anyone know about the blood type diet?

Hi all.

Thanks for the kind words....problem is that a man underfoot costs more than a man at work. First thing he said is, well guess that's the end of the junk food(extra's are cut out with just Employment Insurance coming in) lol

I have vaguely heard about that diet Sheri...just from being mentioned on TV. I know nothing about it though.

We have been getting LOTS of rain as well....I am glad we live on higher ground. At this rate I'll have no snow left by the middle of the month grin

Good morning. Yay for melting snow, Sunny!
I am up and at'tem early today. I don't know why.
I went and looked the diet up a bit and it seems to be based on your ethnicity more than blood type. I am not much interested in diets that float around.
I am going to take advantage of the heat and get some stuff done. We are supposed to cool off this weekend and get rain and storms.
I hope everyone has a good day.

I looked it up as well, Sheri. Looks to me like you eat only certain foods based on your blood type.
Me, being A+ would eat mainly green leafy foods....sounds like of limiting to me...and if your me that would get old real quick.

I slept on the couch last night so my head would be raised. I slept much better. But now this morning I am sure still coughing up an awful lot....(to my notion)

I got some news last night. On top of me NOT getting to see my girls or their kids on Mother's Day, I "get" to clean the house extra and make ready for my BIL & SIL, as they will spend Mother's day weekend here so as to see Marie..........

Tina, I too am going to get some things done today as I promised Marie I would come & see her on Friday, and then I will need to go shopping for her Birthday which is Sunday.
Washing clothes now, and then a good kitchen cleaning is on the agenda.

Sunny--YAY for Melting snow, and I am SO sorry for DH's underfoot. BUT at least yours "gets it". Mine would expect the extras to be around more, as he would be home with nothing to do but eat them....

Raining her too for the next 3 days. 100% chance. We can use it though.

About that blood type diet and ethnicity - might explain my hair cuz I'm B+ and more African Americans than white have B+. Need to have a chat with my mother :)

Good night, Tina..sleep well. Hey, while you are out....pick me up a battery too, OK ?? I need one too.

Sheri, Daisy M is a member here--she was last around in September of 2016......
I also need to talk to my Mom...Daddy had O+ blood, My sister has B+, and My brother and I have A+...so I am thinking that my Mom had better be an AB Blood type....

I too am headed to sleep. See everyone tomorrow. G'nite

Good morning. TGIF. I need to go out for a few things this morning. And then I'll be inside for this rainy weekend. We are back to May gray here. Although the rainstorms are unusual. I'll take it.
I hope everyone has a great Friday.

Junie, is your sister a friz head like me? :)

We had a lot of rain last night and tornado warnings. Thought it was going to rain today and it's looked like it should be raining all day but it's not. Very windy and damp and in the low 60's. I heard it's supposed to be this way for several days. I like it.

Tina, glad you're getting rain. A question. When you run your errands do you take Teddy with you? Have an acquaintance who's son seems to have the same temperament that you've mentioned Teddy has and she has a time getting him dressed, out the door, in the car, then out of the car at whatever store they go too. If she can find someone to stay in the house with him while she goes she's happy.

My sister has a perm, & she wears her head in a lot of small ringlets, so I guess the answer is yes on the friz head

I am headed to sleep again...catch you all in the morning...

Good morning. That sounds like a fun kind of busy, Sunny.
No rain yet. But it has cooled down considerably. Mother Nature has my permission to do this once a week all summer long. But, like my children, she doesn't listen to me much.

Tina, I know what you mean. Mother Nature and the kids are the worst listeners

I thought I had posted today. Must not have clicked post.

Did I mention that Ging and Chris sold their house. Was on the market 7 days exactly. They have until June 17th to be out. Good luck is all I can say. They've haven't found another house in their new town yet so I don't envy them renting and then having to move again.

I am going to sleep now--sweet dreams to you all !!

Hi all.

I think renting for a bit might be a good idea....buying a house under a time crunch might lead to a disaster for Ginger and family.

It has been raining here non stop...over half the province is flooded, houses and all. I'd never put a finished basement under my house after seeing the mess people are dealing with.

I bought all my veggie seeds...although I was saddened to see that I can't get any rattlesnake beans anywhere~ (heirloom pole bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). They were my favorite boohoo

Good morning. It is still raining and cold. I am liking the rain but could ditch the cold. I may dig out my long underwear again.
I hope Ginger can find something fast.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
