Hi James, and Cynthia

None of us are getting emails anymore. That is why I am not on as much, as I have to remember to go check every day on my own. I did check my page, and made sure I checked the block for getting emails in threads I am on. I hope you can fix it.

this is the only thread I really follow, as I feel I know everyone here, and have things in common with everyone. Once in a while, we had others who were on, and I loved to hear their stories too.
Cynthia- when you add a response, I, as well as everyone else, always answer you, unless it is so far back, that I/we did not see it. I certainly hope you feel welcome her- that is not the Quacker way to make anyone feel they are not wanted. None of the girls on here would ever do that to anyone.

I hope this cleared things up a bit. I think we are all feeling a little disjointed, since we do not get the email notices anymore.

Hope everyone is having a good day!
Adele

Hey Gail
We used to call Bobby the Cookie Monster….LOL You know, when he was little they introduced The Count. Bobby was so scared of him, he hid under the kitchen table every time he came on Sesame Street.
I also feel sorry for Keo. he is a good dancer, and I hope he gets a better partner next year. I am a little afraid for Gary Busey’s partner. did you see her reaction last night? I think she was hoping they would get voted off. It looks like she is a little afraid of him, and I do not blame her. We watched that new show with the girl who is tattooed all over- it looks like it is going to be a good one. I recovered the Big Bang and the one after- Life in Pieces, and then Castle too.
I was a scout leader for the Girl Scouts. In my area, it was all men for the Boy Scouts too.
Read my post to Colleen about tonight’s dinner try out…..LOL I hope it tastes good. I will not hold it against them, if they do not like it. No Cooking Strikes will be enforced tonight, as long as they are kind with their comments.
Off to watch The Chew while I dust. so I can get my witches out!

Hi Colleen
You are a great grandmother too! My grand’s would love the hay ride you all do for Halloween.
Well…JJ loved his scout meeting. Heather had him call me last night after she picked him up. he told me about his pledge, and I told him his Nonni and Great-Uncle were scouts, and that I was a scout leader back in the day. He already has a camping trip planned- a 2 day event in October. He is going to love camping. I am so glad they put him in Scouts. It is such a good experience.
you do not have to apologize for getting me confused with Cynthia- we all do that. Sometimes I get our issues confused too- I have to keep re-reading the post to make sure I got it right….LOL
I am glad Ron agreed to go to the doctor. I hope they give him something to clear it up. Once those lung things take hold at our ages, it is hard to get rid of them. I have found that if I get a cold at the beginning of the season, I get more as the winter goes by. I so hope you get a better doctor soon. You have been really struggling with this one. Not fair.
I am making a new dish for dinner that I found in an apple cookbook I have. it is a cabbage/sausage/apple/apple cider thing. Bobby said it is going to be a disaster. I smacked him one! hey- you have to try something new every once in a while. Got the recipe from the “Apple Lovers Cookbook”.
I am going to finish dusting the house, and then get out my witches today. My goal for tomorrow, is to get the rest of the Halloween things out of the back closet. I hope I will be successful in my goal, so I can finish the village display on the dining room table. I know I am missing things- like the fall trees, and some people accessories. they have to be in that closet…..LOL I cannot a wait to post the pics for you girls!!!
Colleen- you will not believe this. I made a tree skirt that is a latch hook rug-mine is white, with poinsettia’s all around it. How funny is that! I have one more rug I did that is in my back room. It is about 30 years old, and still looks good.
Hope you are having a good day.

Hi Christine
Anniversaries are so hard. You will have to give Patch a big hug that day, so you will not feel so bad!
We are all getting ready for winter- you with the meters and boiler service. While I am getting ready to finish the Halloween decorating. I have to schedule the boiler clean-out soon too.
It is cool here. But we have had no rain in a long time.
I can’t believe Patch will be 9 months old. Tome really flies.
You should have seen the face of Gary Busey’s partner. I honestly think she was hoping they would get voted off. She looks like she is a little afraid of him. I hope he gets voted off tonight, as I am concerned for her. She is a small woman, and he is very big.
I have the wonderful activity of finishing my furniture dusting today…..LOL Thank God for the Swiffer! I think I am going to make a recipe tonight I saw in a cook. It is with cabbage, sausage, apple, and cider. I hope everyone will like it- it sounded interesting, and I wanted to try it. if not, I will never make that again…..LOL
Hope your day is good, and hat we get your rain here!

Hi Christine!
It is so nice to hear from you again. We are all glad you are ok.
Patch sounds like he is growing by leaps and bounds. he is surely keeping you going. I hope you find toys for him that will last longer. AT least he is not eating the feet of your chairs, like I hear other dogs do. So, I guess that is a good thing, or you have done a real good job training him.
I have never heard of that mixer before. I wonder if it is brand new, and a competition for the Kitchen Aid mixer. It sounds like you are having a good time baking. I love to bake, especially when it gets cool. To me, it is kind of like therapy. When I have a bad day, I need to bake something. I love baking in the fall and during a snow storm. It makes the house smell so good. I am always trying a new recipe.
This week, I am doing a recipe I found on a cooking book I have…the “Apple Lovers Cookbook”, I think. It is a recipe for cabbage with sausages and apples. It sounded interesting, so I am ogign to give it a try. Bobby thinks it will be a disaster, and that Gary will not eat it…..LOL We will see!
Hope your weather is good. It is beautiful here today, bit cool. I am glad it is not hot.
Hope you are having a good day, and feeling better. I hope you get the treatment you need for your foot to improve.

Hi Colleen
It is not my FIL who died, it is Cynthia’s. I never met my FIL- he has been gone for a long time.
I hope Ron has finally agreed to see a doctor. At our ages a ling thing can really take hold. he is right about garlic. But, it has to be taken all the time to prevent it, I think not to cure it. I am not sure if I am right, or not. Either way, I hope he is better. A sick husband is no fun to be around.
We closed the pool late because it was so hot. We drain it down just below the skimmer, so it is not too bad. Marissa and Enzo came to help put the cover on. I made the (requested) chocolate chip cookies for the “pool closers”. Of course, Bobby even snatched some of the cookie dough…..LOL He is so bad! When he was little, I had to take the dough with me, if I left the kitchen. If I did not, I would get about half a batch of cookies, as he would happily eat the cookie dough.
It sounds like you had a real good time at the auction. I have never gone to an auction.
I was also worried about all of you. I thought something happened, and then I decided to just look at the site…here you all were! I will have to remember to check every day, so I do not miss anything.
I have been doing the needlepoint stocking for Aizen for Christmas- have to get it done before Thanksgiving, so Steph can hand it up with the others.
heather just told me this morning that JJ is signed up for Boy Scouts. I am so glad. I loved scouting- my kids were in it, and I was a leader. It is such a great experience to earn the badges, and the camping.
It is so cool here, I had to close some windows….LOL I have to finish my furniture dusting today and tomorrow, so I can finish my decorating. the only thing I have out is the village on the dining room table! I still have to find some of the little people accessories that I tucked into a box with all the other Halloween stuff. Once I get it all out, I will take a pic for all of you to see. I was just not feeling very Halloween, with the 90 degree weather. I am in the mood today though.
Hope you have found some Halloween things for your yard.
Adele

Hi Gail
I guess I will have to just do daily checks on the site too. I looked at my settings, and I should be getting emails.
I have not watched those other show you mentioned. There are some good drama shows that are new this year- we will have to see if they are good. Did you see where the star form How to Get Away with Murder won last night? I did not realize she was the first black woman to get the award.
The dryer will be fixed next week. We have 2 dryers, so I am golden. Thank God!
It is so cool here today, that I had to shut some windows. How funny is this- from the air on to closing windows????
I saw a butterfly shirt on the Friday night show- did you get it? Tillie and I got the Christmas tree black shirt- very pretty!
Hope Greg is feeling better. Also hope your foot is doing a little better.

Hello Gail, Colleen, and Barbara
I have not been getting the emails from these posts. I thought all of you were on vacation! So, I checked this morning, and there you all were. So, I hope I answer all the posts in this one email…..LOL
OMG- what is happening to poor Greg! You know, I was wondering if a recent filling they did was a little too high, and causing the tooth to hurt when I bite down. Funny they thought of this with Greg too. I am going to mention that at the next cleaning, or if I have to go back sooner, if the discomfort gets worst. Right now. my tooth is just a little sore when I bite on something hard. I hope Greg can get relief from his toothache. this has been going on too long for him. I guess I would say I am lucky.
Colleen- is it not funny that all Italians stay close to their family? I hope you solved the health insurance issue, and that you now have one where you can see your old doctor. I also love the smell of apples this time of year. But, this weather has to stop- it is in the high 80’s, with high humidity today.
We are closing the pool. Gary is draining it, as the weather is supposed to break tomorrow, and go down to the 60’s and 70’s- not pool weather anymore!
I am waiting for Sears to come to repair the dryer- yuck-thank God I have the policy for repairs.
DWTS looks different this year…..I do not like Gary Busey. He gets me nervous, and I think he does the same with his partner. I hope he does not hurt anyone. That young man is my favorite dancer- cannot remember his name- he is real good, so is Bindy.
Gail- I was very disappointed at AGT. I thought as they were going along that Pip may win, as well as the regurgitator. Although he grossed me out, he was good, and certainly nobody else has that talent. I was very surprised at the winner. I did not think he was that good.
Did I miss something about Ron- is he sick- did he finally go to the doctor????
Thanks colleen- I am going right to the QVC to see if they have stock in my super-size…LOL
hey girls- Quacker is on tonight- yahoo!!!! If I get anything, I wall ask to talk tot he host, and say hello to you guys!
Gail- I had that same thought with he meatloaf- put mashed potato’s in the middle!!!
Hope everyone is good……..have not seen Cynthia post on here in a bit. Hope she is ok.
Adele
