Ruby!!! I was wondering where you have been. Thank God that you are okay now. And I know that it's not a hop-skip-jump drive from your home to the cabin....so it's not like you could drive and get them. What a stupid, pain in the _ss thing you had to go thru at the drugstore...I do think you should tell your doctor what happened. I would be devastated if anything ever happened to you!! I care for you so much! (But..can you put it in your will that I can have Tink?:H:H) Please rest today...you know tomorrow is a very special day for you and you need to be well rested and relaxed. I've missed you so much. Josh & Amy are already looking forward to coming down to your cabin to meet you....I was telling them all about it and they love the mountains!

Well, back to work for me.:l

Grateful, I'll have a big pot of ham and beans, and my secret hot buttered cornbread, ready when you get here! :H
Have been on phone with insurance, then called drugstore, and I'm leaving them for good. The pharmacist I talked to was very nice, asked what they could do better, and I said have a little compassion and don't make people feel like criminals would be a good start!
I think I have it worked out so this never happens again; matter of fact, I don't have to do anything but go to the mailbox!! They'll even send me a 3 month supply for $10 if I do, and doc will love that. I explained to her how very bad I was feeling, and she apologized, said they don't always know the story, and I replied why is it your business to with a reputable doctor and customer? All she said was 'I know'. SOOOoooo, all is good in Ruby world. Have (1) phone call from MIL about another dead relative (2) FRANTIC tearful call from 50ish cousin we're buying land from about some tax issues (3) Hubs check in (4) cousin again 'What do I do!?' (5) Relieved cousin when he took my advice got it fixed (6) Taylor (7) drugstore (8) insurance (9) drugstore (10) drugstore. So I'm leaving before it rings again!!!

Oh, Ruby, and I thought my life was busy! You are the go-to person for way too many people!

Back. All crises resolved, closing house tomorrow. Actually I enjoy being able to help someone with a specific delimna because, believe it or not, I have sort of an analytical mind and cut to the heart of the problem to start. Cousin is somewhat childlike in nature, was telling me his life was over, he was ruined, before we looked at the actual problem. Once he got himself collect, had daughter drive him to county office what I thought was true, and he'd been given completely false information. And proved what I'd been thinking: his lawyer is either lazy, an idiot, or both!! I've been very worried about him doing something because he can't figure his way out of this mess, but he's a great guy, just needs support and guidance. I'd love a few minutes alone with that lawyer, though! :H
I hope your procedure goes well, and helps, and you recover quickly. You're like a little flower to me, so sweet and delicate, and I'm so sorry for all the mix-ups that happened while you were visiting. Don't you worry about me; I always take care of stuff and don't blame anyone (unless it's Hubs!!)
Vick, I got your package today. PM me and let me know if you want me to share any of them on here, OK? Hope your visit goes well.
BTW: FYI I'm hosting the Piglet from the MWO World Piglet Tour, so when you get a chance, check it out and the pics of all the beautiful flowers and pumpkins. https://www.mywayout.org/community/f9...-68-51635.html

Rubes.....I want to move in with you. I just love you so much and your caring ways.
You didn't comment on leaving Tink to me in your will!:H I'll even take Tay & John too and I can take care of their babies!!!!

Grate, there will be a war over little Tink, I'm afraid. When I take her places and strangers hold her they ask if I'll sell her, where I got her, fawn all over her. She's so good with it, but always watches to see where I am. Wouldn't Tay and John make beautiful babies? I told them just last night, if they'll wait, continue their education, get a little more mature, till Tay is 21, I'll give them a wedding, make her a dress like the one I made Tip that she has loved all her life. John said 'I'd marry her tomorrow', and I told them both they needed some more life experience and maturity first.
I'm still cleaning up the mess from being away so long, washing endless loads of clothes since cabin washer is down. But after yesterday, I feel SO good today I don't mind. Making a big dinner for Hubs, have the closing tomorrow, but hubs has something planned, I just don't know what. I love surprises, and he's good at them.
Hope some others check in. With Vick and Sun away, it's too quiet.
Oh, does anyone watch the TV series on AMC 'The Living Dead'? Its all filmed here. One of these days I'm going to one of the casting calls they're always advertising. Just scared what they'd cast me as - a rabid cow maybe?? :H

Hey, dear family! I was hesitant to post since I'm in such a horrible mood and totally exhausted! Paul has a severe case of gout AGAIN! I guess this is my life now, taking complete care of him, the house, everything! I just want to crawl into my hole again!
RUBY, after reading all your posts, I am so worried about you! Tay and John should have brought your meds to you the day you left them there! That is so dangerous and it sounds like you came close to having a heart attack or stroke! Why do you have to take care of everyone else in the world, except YOU? Do I need to come down there? I can't drive, but I can cook and I would jerk your phone line out! Can you just keep it off the hook or maybe get a new private #? I'm glad you got your pics and feel free to share, but no ugly ones please! There are alot of pics of the cabin and your precious stories of everything there that is so beautiful!
GRATEFUL, what procedure are you having done tomorrow? PLEASE call me when you can.
MICHAEL, you are such a special blessing! Thank you for all you do and BTW, where are you and more important, HOW are you?
TIME, we would love for you to post more and help us get to know you better and help you in any way we can. We are all here to help one another in life's journey.
SUNNI, I know you are going to have a wonderful time on your trip seeing your family! Take care and have an awesome time! We love you!
ROGER, you know none of us are going to judge you! Just don't let it control you. I've been having a few drinks lately, too, but I can stop after one or two. Unfortunately though, I do drink when I am extrememly stressed!
NORA, it is so wonderful to see you back! I can't wait to see pics of your new puppy. I'm happy your son is doing so well. I hope you enjoy your time with your neice.
ALT, I am so glad you are FINALLY taking care of yourself and hubby is helping out more. Men have no idea of how many mommie duties there are! Hopefully, he will appreciate you and continue to help you out more even after you are better.
Georgie, my hubs does things half-ass, too, when he is able to walk, that is, which he is getting more unable to everyday! Latey, I've had to do everything around here! I want to move back home so bad, where my family is and can help me out. I want a VERY small house, just one or two bedrooms and a very small yard, not 30 acres! The country is peaceful and beautiful, but very isolating and with our health issues, we need to be closer to our doctors. My doctor wants me to go to physical therapy for 6 weeks to get strength and build muscles in my hands! I don't know how that is possible with neither one of us able to drive! My baby Chloe has been throwing up for 2 days! I need to take her to the vet! I'm so very sorry for all my complaining. I just needed to vent! I know alot of you have way more problems than me and I should be thankful just to be alive. I love you all so very much! Love, Vicki

Vicki, love, I don't know how YOU do all you do, but your exuberance during the visit was wonderful!! Did you see the beautiful pics of you I already posted. I love them all, but the one down at the lake is just gorgeous!! You are so photogenic, both of you, and when I see pics of me I think 'who IS that old woman'!! Thanks for your concern. Believe me, my doc chewed me out, and so did Hubs, since I didn't tell him how bad I felt before I got home and was better. He hates too that I take care of so many, but he knows that's just how I'm made, and I feel I accomplished a whole lot today, and feel great. I'll never take my health for granted again. Tay and John didn't know until last night what happened, or they would have done it. John is clearing the view this weekend from the deck to the river, so next time you come it will be spectacular. Save your pennies, and as soon as you can, come back. Lame duck is paying for his actions, and if he can't come, you are now a seasoned single traveler!! But next time, lets work together on all the arrangements and I know I can help you avoid a lot of problems. Take care, and just go crawl in that hole. Pretend you can't hear the bellowing from the lounge chair!! :H

Rubes-- I just wanted you to know that I have gone through exactly the same thing at pharmacies. . This is why I hate doctors. If I ever feel I am getting sick I try to ride it out and then go to an urgent care-- I cannot stand to see any doctor. For years and years I went to 2 docs only --neuro and a Psychiatrist. Same pharmacy for over 10 years . And every month without fail when I brought in my pain med prescription for migraines the pharmacist and techs huddled up whispeering, giving me the side eye. One time in 10 years I left a medication in st Lucia during a vacation. Despite this being the only time and the doctor calling I thought the pharmacy was going to call the Dekalb county police before I got out of there. The upshot is that I got so sick of it that I am in excruciating pain that could be prevented once a month easily because I just gave uP. It's demoralizing and embarrassing. Whoever is gaming the system more power to them because they have ruined it for the honest peoPle who try to make do. Okay -- off soaP box.!! I hope you are feeling better. I am really trying to rest-- it is killing me to sit still. Hubs helped for 2 days but he is back to his old ways. However tonight before hockey he came home and went to take a nap so I guess he knows one can feel run down.
To all my sweet friends -- I am following you all but just not posting much.. Rog-- hang in there!

Vick...I may be crazy, but I thought you'd posted a while ago that Paul was sober for two months now, or something. Anyway, you need a wife! Maybe you should come up here to Tick Hollow. Mrs. Fen and I will watch after you. :h You could have the bedroom, and there haven't been any skwerl infiltrations for four days now!

RUBY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I AM BLESSED TO KNOW YOU. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY...I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU ALL DAY LONG!!


Jan...What a great surprise for your in-laws!!! I'll look forward to seeing pictures! It is homecoming here too and my son and his cousin are having their first bon-fire tomorrow night at our pond after the dance. Of course, all the family are upset BUT I said they are the next generation and it is their time to have parties at the pond.....EVERY other grandchild before them including my hubby and his sisters had parties there.....of course, they will need to be chaperoned and "watched".....especially for other kids possibly bringing in alcohol. It's always a conflict around here....but I am excited for Jeremy and Alieah (who IS a blood grandchild). I'd much rather my kid be here at home then at some other person's house NOT knowing what is going on! As usual, it's ME against some of the in-laws.......it's okay.....I AM A STRONGER PERSON NOW, RIGHT RUBY & VICKI?

Roger...it's Friday....whatever happened yesterday is in the past and today is a new day.
Let yesterday go and focus on today. I think you and Sue should go get Vicki and we'll plan on meeting up somewhere in the middle....I'll drive half way (don't know where that is..but you let me know!). Let's enjoy the time we have and our friendship. I'll be thinking of you while I'm laying on my stomach on the table "butt nekid" while they are inserting a needle into my spine and then having Biz carry me to his truck and take me home so he can get bit by my Duke. Hopefully, I'll be dressed by the time Biz picks me up!:H:H He might change his mind if he saw me sans clothes!!! The point is, I love you Roger and I care for you!!!

Vicki...my love....once again, poor you forgot about my procedure.....remember it's the epidural infusion for my back pain? It's okay...I'll be feeling SO much better when it is done. You know I love you and your forgetful self. NOW-get out of that hole...I'll be home some time this afternoon so we can talk on the phone, okay?

Nora....I'm sorry I didn't email you yesterday.....I shall try again today, okay? I love you too.

In fact, I am thankful for each and every one of you here...all our new family members and all our "oldies"....NO, Ruby, I'm not referring to you just because it is your 29th birthday today!!!!!!!

Have a good one!!!
