A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2568

I hope it's the correct number anyway.
Here is the next space to talk about the world according to you. I hope it's all good news!

Here is some good news !

Carol gets to go home tomorrow to celebrate Easter, and I think her Anniversary. AND also a pre-birthday party for Henry !..All a good time !

All in one day?

Oops, can someone fix the title number for me? I wrote 2468 instead of 2568.
Never mind. I was able to edit it myself.

Checking to see if it comes up correctly in the new posts. Nope.

Don't worry about it Tina.

Yup, Junie is having a '3 celebration day'.

Yep all in one day.

I will see if I can fix the CH number tonight when I have more time. If I can't I will speak to James tomorrow. He should be home by then.

Have a great day, Carol.

Morning all,

Got a little earlier start this morn... opened up the house for a little while and let it air out some... sure like all the windows we have here...
paid a bill and started laundry .. dogs blankets.. he will be upset they are in wash but he will get over it... can hang them outdoors to dry and they will be nice and fresh... Have a fun day Carol, always good times with family and little ones... our Timothy went to his senior prom yesterday... how did he get old enough to graduate in a month . much less have a girlfriend? wasn't he just 3?

Going to finish straightening up this office today.. did file all the bill stuff now for the other crap cluttering up my desk... don't know why it keeps piling up, shouldn't it file itself?

Well washer just finished time to hang out dogs bedding... who knows may go shopping in a while... need more Epsom salts for the tub...

Nana

I guess I had a nice time. I got to see my other 4 Grandchildren, and spend some time with them. We were also surprised by my nephew who is in the Military. He got some leave and came so he could be in the family photos...thing is my mom has new back pain and was not able to come. That was a sad note.

Nana: do you have an HE washer ? And if so do you like it ? Does it get your clothes clean ?

Oh, I'm sorry your mom is not well enough to have family time with you, Carol. I hope she's better soon.

Sweet dreams all.

Nana, I love Epsom salts in my bath....it helps with my psoriasis as well.

Sorry about your mother Junie.

They were calling for snow through the night but it stayed mild enough that we got a bit of rain. I sent GG to school and about 5 minutes after she left, it turned to ice pellets...this spring weather is so unpredictable.

Thanks about momma ladies. I appreciate the thought.
!Sunny, Sorry for the ice.

Going to get a blood test today.

I am fixing the posts.

Seeing if all is ok on the thread number .

Thank you, Carol. It annoyed me no end to screw things up like that. A personal problem.
Happy Patriot's day. Good luck to those running in the Boston marathon today. I had an apple turnover to celebrate instead of running.

Yes Carol,

Have an HE washer.. a whirlpool... only kind you can buy it seems anymore... I like it , took me awhile to figure out how to use it but since I wash most stuff on cold I use that cycle a lot.., use hot for towels and whites, use the ALL detergent for HE and gets my clothes nice and clean... we have really hard water here too so use about 3\4 cup in a load, it is different to use and took awhile to figure out but works well for me.. I got the biggest load size I could cause I like to wash blankets often.. have a dog that sheds a lot so I was a king size bedspread about every 3 weeks to get rid of hair... should have gotten a white bedspread to match him but got navy blue , shows up really well on it .. LOL!

Nana

Morning,

I just finished bills again... paid bills for month...Yay.. !

My sis in law is supposed to be home sometime today, she went to Chandler to stay with BIL (he is autistic ) so other BIL and SIL could go to Cali for a funeral for her aunt.. she called me yesterday..she is anxious to be home... if they get back early we will go out for a visit.

Well off to make a Costco list.. ran out of a few necessities that I only like from there.. this town only has 3 grocery stores and a wallyworld, don't like to buy any meat product at most of them and no one carries decent bacon.. don't eat it a lot but out completely.. so will have to go soon ….

Have a good day all... sure wish I could send you all some of out sunshine... it's supposed to be in the 80's today,, course it supposed to rain tomorrow...so will enjoy it today..
Nana

I have a very large load Maytag HE washer with an deep fill option. I can fit a queen sized quilt bed spread in it. Usual water level has 7 inches of water. The deep fill has 14 inches of water. IMO that is not enough water to properly clean clothes. I had to wash a twin comfort 3 times to get a small amt. if vomit out when Henry was sick. Using color safe bleached or Oxyclean does not help either...but it is a top loading machine. Hear they do not clean as well as the side loading machines do.

I use All also. I also have an extra rinse option that I use about 95% of the time. I cannot get orally dirty things clean. My towels are not ever light and fluffy. Even if I just wash them in hot water and no soap. I tried that as I thought they looked like I had used too much soap and it did not get rinsed out. I am ever so thankful that there is a laundromat in town here. The machines there use more water.

Good Morning !

I was gone all day with appt's and errands.

Junie, I was so frustrated with my washer...DD finally convinced me to try some 'pods'. They seem to clean better than the 'pour your own'.

Well i will check into the pods...but back in Illinois when we had our dishwasher repaired, the repairman said to never use the pods as they were bad for the machine.

I hope you had a good day out, Sunny.

Sleep well guys.....see you in the morning.

Good morning. Up since 3:15 am. That is what I get for going to sleep at 10:20.

I wish everyone a fantastic day .

You're going to be one tired Grammie later in the day.

Junie, I only use the pods when I can get them on sale. If not, I use the pour kind. I can honestly say though that I like the pods better with the HE machine though. You should give it a try with two batches of towels in the same day. Do one with the pods and dry, then one with the pour and then dry. Put the two towels side by side...you can really tell the difference.

I have a full laundry day today. I got out to Walmart yesterday...it was nice to go by myself.

Thanks for the idea. I have to go back to the dealer to buy some washing machine cleaner so I will ask them what their opinion is.

I slept in the couch about 45 minutes this morning. I hope that that little nap helps me.

It is really windy today. I guess the wind is bringing in the rain ☔ .

Good night everyone sweet dreams.

I hope you get better sleep tonight, Carol. Sweet dreams.

Good morning, the sun is shining and the snow in my yard is down to about 5 ft....it is a welcome sight to see.

Is everyone Easter ready?

Good morning !

Sunny, yay for less snow. Eventually it will be gone , so yay !

Easter....I gave my 4 Grands that live in Virginia their baskets last Sunday. This Saturday I will give the 4 here theirs. I do need to wrap a few little items yet for them, but it is all bought. As one of the triplets ask me if I was going to have an Easter basket, I made myself one too. I figured someone should.

Raining here...a lot !

Sounds good.

I got a call today...my doctor is leaving in June. I had to go sign papers to see if I can at least get in with the nurse practitioner they are sending in her place....soon there will not be a doctor to be found anywhere.

Gracious...I am so sorry. I hope the NP is as good as the Dr. was.

It had stopped raining, and now it is raining again. I would complain but the more rain we get the more likely my berry cuttings will root.

Everyone I've spoken with about them loves their NPs. I hope you come to like yours too, Sunny.

Going to sleep now. Sweet Dreams to you all !

Yes Tina, everyone is saying the new NP is so much friendlier than the doctor....and takes her time with her appt.

Good Friday today....it will be a 'fish for meals' day.

Good Good Friday all.

Yes, Happy Good Friday everyone.

We went to Maundy Thursday services last night. We will not go to services tonight or tomorrow. But we will go on Sunday.

Sweet dreams all.

Sweet Dreams, Tina.

And Sweet Dreams to anyone else that reads this post.

Sleep well my friends.

Hi all.

We are under a heavy rain fall warning...that along with the melting snow is making a mess. Thankfully we are on higher ground.

Good morning.

Glad that you are on higher ground, Sunny.

I often bless being on higher ground myself.
Happy Easter Eve all.

So true Tina.

The kids are un-patiently waiting for the Easter bunny.

Does the Easter bunny come a day early there, Sunny? Some places have an egg hunt today around here like parks and such. It wasfunwhenI was little. But I most enjoyed deorating the eggs with my kids and getting baskets together for our elderly friends. It was a day for giving and sharing.

We had to take our Easter gifts to the kids today. They loved their baskets. Esp. the candy! You know...since they never get any.......

Going to grill for supper tomorrow. We could be going out to Brian's family's family for one meal or another. But nope,not us.. " we" are staying home....well after church.

Been up for an hour.

Happy Easter !

Rod is not feeling well, ( a man cold) so no church or going out to eat for Carol.

I am baking a lemon dessert. And I called my momma. Nothing else going on.

Happy Easter everyone.

Happy Easter, Tina !
I hope you had a wonderful day !

3% battery left, so I will say goodnight. Sweet Dreams.

Sweet dreams, Carol.

Good morning !

Happy jelly bean day!

Too cute

We went to my mom's for Easter supper. Honestly, with the fighting and hate-fullness in my family...I wish I could skip every holiday.

Hoping you all had a nice, quiet day.

Today Darbi is 20. I can't believe it.

Sunny, Johnny's family can't be together for 2 seconds until someone starts an argument. They can't even talk on the phone. They are all smart alecks and are offended by anything anyone says. Johnny's not as bad as the rest but he does have a bit of the family trait which I can't stand. They fought like idiots when their mother died, fought when their dad died, fought when Little Johnny died. I stay as far away from them as I can and I say only "hello" if I see them at church. They think I'm stuck up but I refuse to engage them because no matter what I would say "good morning. How are you?" "What do you mean how am I? Do I look like somethings wrong with me?" "That's a pretty dress." "Well I'm sure it doesn't cost as much as yours but I like it." Awful awful awful people.

Morning,

Just finished a few bills, sent hubby to drugstore for my meds... they always call when they are ready.. nice... may be heading back to Colo sooner then graduation time.. my Carrie is going to have a hysterectomy on the 8 of May, been a long time coming but now it is a necessity , so will go up just before and stay as long as she needs help... they aren't sure what's going on yet but had tests last week and supposed to get results today.. We had a nice Easter dinner yesterday, made a ham and the trimmings. have a lot of leftovers so will be making up some freezer pacs later today... realized my neighbor was alone next door, thought her kids would take her out but she was home so called her to come join us for dinner... had a nice time visiting with her..
Well off to vacuum and mop the kitchen floor... can't wait till we replace some of this carpet with hard flooring. have a good day all!

It is awful to have a disfunctional family. It is why I don't live near mine or talk about them much.
You sound busy, Sherri. I just feel like lazing around today. So that's what I am doing.

Yes, so very sorry for Johnny's family, Sheri.

Tina, so often wondered...

I did not do much today either, other than water my few tomato plants and a few potted plants.

Going to bed nite nite....

Sweet dreams, Carol.

I hope you had a good night's sleep, Tina.

Up early. I think it possible that I am coming down with Rod's cold. Golly I hope not.

I wish I could do the same...but they got me surrounded.

Sheri, I asked at the gas station and the amount of snow fall so far for us is apparently at 18 ft and 7 inches...with more for tomorrow.

I miss being closer to my disfunctional family.

Wow ! That is a lot of snow, Sunny !

I think families have variables of disfunction. Living with an alcoholic parent causes lots of it's own disfunction. I live an insular life because I am a much happier person for it. So I'm not the least bit bothered by it.
Our mountains have had bunches of snow but I can't find totals. Colorado has 30 feet for the year so far.

I think you are absolutely correct, Tina.

30 feet of snow ! That boggles the mind !

We are going over to Brian & Val's tonight. Rod is going to help Brian. He always has at least one project going...

Have fun playing with your grands, Carol.

Yes it was fun, thanks, Tina. They were all So dirty from " helping" daddy and grandpa work that everyone has to have a bath. It was a good time.

Girls are coming over tomorrow and thursday.

Going to sleep now. Sweet Dreams

Good Morning.
Coffee is brewing and sausage is thawing. Littles have just arrived.

Morning....

Just finished paying rest of bills.. going out to visit in laws later today... tomorrow will be laundry and packing up to go visit Colo.. my Carrie has to have surgery so going to go help out and stay till graduation for Timothy, she won't be able to do much to organize his party so will help her with that after...hubby will come home after the surgery and then come back for graduation... he is going to paint and do stuff here while I am gone... hopefully she will have an easy recovery...and will feel 100 percent better after...

Well off to get dinner in crock and get ready to go visit...
Nana

Prayers for Carrie, Nana. I hope she has an easy surgery and quick recovery. I am thankful that you are able to go out and stay to help her.

I hope that she recovers as well as Tangela did after her hysterectomy. A couple of weeke ago.(3?) outside of itchy staples there were no complaints. She never had anything stronger than Tylenol afterwards. And then only two days of that. She has nothing but good to say about it all.

How wonderful for Tangela, Tina. I am so happy for her. I was not so lucky, so it makes me smile to hear of others who had a good experience with such things.

Sherri Hoping Carrie recovers quickly and you get to enjoy some of your time there.


Tina glad that Tangela has done so well. Is her named pronounced like Angela or is it Tan....then ...gela (not sure how to explain what I'm asking).

Tomorrow is Colt's birthday so we're driving down early in the morning. Hoping to be there to have lunch with him. We were going today but he woke up at 5:00 am with a stomach virus so we didn't go.

It was 84° today and it felt HOT.

All these , " kids" are growing up far too fast to my notion.

Going to bed soon. The Girls are coming to spend the day again tomorrow.

It's. Like Angela with a T on the front. Her dad came up with it about 4 years before she was born.
I hope Colt's stomache thing is gone by tomorrow.
Sweet dreams, Carol.

I am glad that Tangela healed well, hoping it goes the same for Carrie. That was my worst surgery ever.

We got a snow storm last night...it looks pretty on the trees, but that's about it

At least it's pretty (if unwanted).
I watched the moon rise this morning. I'm heading back to bed to catch a couple more zzz's.

I have to head out to pick up GG in an hour then head into town to run errands....banking awaits.

Morning,

thanks for the good wishes for my Carrie, I am hoping it goes well for her too, mine was easy so hopefully it will be same for her, I was 10 yrs younger though... time flies! I came home to a 2 yr old to care for and all hers are big enough to wait on her....youngest is 14!

We got our big tax refund in mail so that will pay for trip up and back and then again for graduation... don't know if I will stay the time between, depends on her recovery mostly... oldest DD called yesterday and she will fly in for graduation so that will be nice …

Going to makes sure I have all the stuff I need to pack so Joe can pick it up if I need it.... did get all my med refills so that part will work out okay.. thank goodness insurance pays for 90 day refills here.. doc here changed my blood pressure meds when it came out the one I was on forever causes cancer... had to go to 3 different ones to do what that one did.. but good news is they work really well.. lowest it's been for yrs!

Well off to get busy , pack what I can and start laundry to wash the rest of what I will need... still chilly up there so got to dig out long pants again .. been shorts weather here for a few weeks now... LOL!

Nana

Nana, how are you liking your new home/state?
