One Step at a Time - November 2014

[Dottie Belle]

fen I have been disappointed with most of the contractors we have hired lately...no work ethic..no planning ahead....
UGH..hope the heaters come in...

[NoraC]

Oh Fen - how upsetting!!!!

Dottie - I am hoping to get my hair cut & colored tomorrow. I need it desperately!

Mama - I am sorry about the drama with Tucky but hopefully it will all be over soon!!! Very soon.

Pauly - were you busier today?

K9 - anymore exciting men?

Liz - glad that you are able to relax for a bit.

FT - did you find out what your previous employer said?

Sunni - How are you doing??? <3


So sorry that so many are sick here. Feel better everyone.

I've got to balance my checkbook & pay some bills. YUCK!

Thinking about Nursie.....hope that she is feeling some better. One of my friends at work that knows about this site even asked me how she was doing.

Ok - got to balance the checkbook before I make up another excuse. LOL

[NoraC]

Love this.......What's Going On

[SKendall]

Hi all, just trying to find a home now subs is gone. Have been sober for a long while but having trouble re-connecting to my new home. I recently relocated from Victoria, B.C. back to WA state and I'm happy about that. Had to make a drive to the marital home where my husband still resides and it was very difficult.

I'm having to live in low income housing and he gets the custom built home that I helped design, it just seems all wrong.

Yes, I know the answer is a lawyer, but the answer is still the same - he can do this.

Sorry for whining, but in a bad place right now.

[mama bear]

SKendalll....please join us. You have been a good friend to me in the past and we welcome you with open arms. That stinks about your housing.....
Taking a sick day today. I get sinus/ear infections about once a quarter....so maybe need to look at some options , but I hope breaking my nose isn't one of them!
Sorry about the heaters Fenny. I deal with contractors too, and when they screw up, my tenants scream at me. I will text Nurise later. Hubs just left to buy me a pile of cold meds, and the doc gave me augmentin a few weeks ago to have filled if I need it.....
Nora, you still balance a checkbook? I use my on line account and look at it 100 times a day! How is Scott feeling these days?
Gonna get back under the covers with Old Lucky Cat. Krack Kitty Dixie is outside going nuts in the cold.
I would send kisses but then you would get sick.....

Good Morning everyone ... sorry I never got back yesterday - no excuses - worked longer than I had thought I would then took the dog for a walk, then it was hubs birthday dinner .... and daughter came over. The day just ran away with me !!

Sorry about all of you who are feeling poorly - MB - I too had my nose broken back in the year dot and yes it is uncomfortable but there are lots of worse things and if it would stop all the infections that you get it would be worth doing - plus all the meds that you keep taking cannot be good for you either - you might want to have a think about it. Hope you feel better soon ((((hugs))))

Laughed at you Nora balancing the chequebook and I agree with MB - I do mine on line and check it practically daily so do not ever 'balance it' any more. I see at a glance if something is wrong ... enjoy your timeshare this weekend Nora ....

FT - when I was in management where I work, all we could do if another company approached us about an employee was to say that they had indeed worked for us - we were not allowed to say anything - either positive or negative ....

Fen - what a shame about the electric baseboards - don't you wonder how some of these places stay in business ? At least the temps are going to go up a little for the next week or two. I know though that you want to get it done and sorted .... hopefully they will be able to get it done by the weekend.

Hey Dottie - I had been thinking about cutting my hair too then changed my mind 'cos I always regret it. Yours will grow .....

Hi there SK - nice to see you here - so sorry about the predicament that you find yourself in - it just doesn't seem right though, I agree with you - how on earth has it ended up that way?

Hi Pauly - hope that you feel better and that you get busier - nothing worse than hanging around not doing much when you have lots that you could be doing in other places !!

K9 - how are you doing ? Hope things are going well - I think you are off today - right ? Oh no - today isn't Friday is it ? I get so confused with my days these days ...

Off to think about walking one of the dogs ..... it is actually only 19 out there so might hold off and do it later .....

Hugs to all, Sun XXX

[Lizann]

SK. So sorry to here about what's going on with you. That just doesn't seem fair! Shouldn't he have to sell tha house and you would get half? I'm not sure how this all works.

Mama feel better. Can you try drinking nettle tea? My mom swears by it. Had trouble for years with her sinuses and mucous and such. They suggest surgery which she wouldn't do. She drinks her tea everyday with a shot of Swedish bitters and has been able to keep her sinuses well under control. Rarely has anymore flare ups. Much less invasive. Just a thought.

Sunnie that was a busy day! I wish I was doing as well as you all seem to be. Just taking it one day at a time. I'm just so tired of thinking about al! Sorry about my little vent.

Off to take Lucy to the vet! Ugh!!!!!!! She gets so nervous and it takes so long!!,

I love you all! Thanks for being here for me!

[sunshinedaisies]

Hey Lizann - what are you having to take Lucy to the vet for ? Hope all is well .....

As for the rest of us doing so well - don't know about the others but I am not - I just don't talk about it. You are doing amazing - you are AF !!! So continue to take it one day at a time - I so admire you and anyone else who can do it ......

Hugs, Sun XXX

[Dottie Belle]

[K9Lover]

Hi Everyone,
Quick check in before I read back. I was out yesterday with a cold...still feel like crap and nobody wants to be around me. They brought me a can of Lysol to spray everywhere. LOL I may or may not be here all day. The hardest part is getting up and dressed and getting here so I might as well stay (maybe). It's raining so the couch and a book sounds really good too....ok, time to read back! Welcome Skendall! You are welcome to join our nutty family! :love:

[K9Lover]

Ok I read back...wow...sounds like most of us are SICK. So I have kind of a funny story, but my right butt cheek is bruised. I got up in the middle of the night to pee and my toilet seat is missing one "bolt" or whatever it's called so I have to make sure it's lined up right before sitting down. Well I didn't, and I ended up falling over and into the bathtub, pulling the shower curtain rod down too. And no I wasn't drinking! Holy crap on a stick. And earlier in the night I had tried to cut the chihuahuas nails (they were so long and growing back into her skin) and this morning she is STILL mad at me. What a night. Pissed off chi and bruised buns, that about sums it up for me today.

[Lizann]

Sorry k9, but you having me laughing!! Took Lucy to the vet, now she just wants to cuddle with me! She's not mad at all

[Dottie Belle]

Ouch K9 but I had to laugh too....

[sunshinedaisies]

Quick reply - I am fine - sorry if I gave the impression that I am not - I am just drinking - that is all - not a lot but never the less, drinking ! My depression is way better - someone (I think it was Pauly?) asked me about how the Rhodiola helped - I think it is really good stuff - but you need the higher dosage stuff ... and 5HTP made me feel really weird the one time I tried it ... never tried it a second time !

Thanks for the concern but I am feeling MUCH better !!!

Hugs, Sun XXX
