Hi Gail,
This is funny that the guys do not like Charlie Brown. My brother was crazy about Snoopy and the whole gang. Every once in awhile we get him something with the Charlie Brown gang or just snoopy. I did order that singing Snoopy but as usual it is on back order. One year I ordered him some snoopy boxer shorts. Everyone got a good laugh when they saw them. I do not know if he still has them or if he threw them away. He may just keep them as a joke and one year I may get them back.lol
I do not know how you stood that tooth if you had infection in it. That must have really hurt when he pulled it. That makes my mouth hurt thinking about it. I hope that it heals soon and the infection goes away.
We went to the shower and it was really nice. Kevin’s mom is a really nice person. I felt bad that none of our family came but they did have a lot to do. I am glad that my mom did not come the steps were pretty steep going to the basement. It was fixed up really nice and everything so that was nice. She got a lot of nice gifts but did not get any diapers. I was really surprised. I was glad that we did not get her anything but blankets will wait and see when the baby is born and get what she needs. She did not get very many blankets either. I was really surprised since the baby is going to be born in January.
An ercp is when they take that scope and go down thru the throat and clean that out. They open the bile duct and get rid of any scar tissue. This one you do not stay in the hospital unless you get sick then you have to stay in the hospital. The one where I had to stay in the hospital they put stints in the bile duct to keep it open. They leave it in for three days and then take it out. So I had to stay in the hospital then.
We use to have the Sadie Hawkins dance. That was the dance that was the most fun. A lot of times everybody went with friends and we had more fun. We went with guys that were just friends and not boyfriends so we could act crazy and dance with who we wanted. I guess we were just weird. Most of the guys that we were going with were in the Army and were over seas. So that is why we did it so different then the other times. If any of that makes sense.
I hope that it did not rain on the marathoners. We were supposed to have rain today but it didn’t it rained last night. So that was all we got. We will see if it rains tomorrow night. I do not know. Ron turned the furnace on and now our weather is going to be in the 70’s next week. Hope the kids had fun going out trick or treating
That is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Adele,
Thanks for the prayers. I can use them. No appointment yet but hope to get one soon. Will just keep bugging them until I get some results. I do not know why this doctor is so slow about doing things.
The chew was funny yesterday. Daphne did look really tired. I am surprised she does not have help with the kids. I guess she wants to do it all on her own and I do not blame her. I like all of them on the chew also. They are all funny. The costumes today were really funny. Micheal and Clinton really got some bad costumes. It was funny that they both had to be woman and Mario got to be Trump. They were showing the pictures of some of the other costumes that they have worn thru the years. It seems like Micheal and Clinton get to wear the girl costumes. They were having a good time. I could not believe that Mario found a way to use that popcorn in the dish he made. I would have never thought of that. I thought that he might just throw the popcorn to the audience. He didn’t thought. That would have been funny. The audience had really cute costumes on also.It was just a fun show to watch. I am glad that they are going to focus on Thanks-giving next month and not go right into Christmas. It is refreshing to have someone celebrating Thanks giving.
Have you been watching Hallmark this evening? They already have the Christmas shows on. I can not believe that they have them on so early. I wonder why they do not do Thanks-giving movies. They would be just as good. They would not have to show them as long. I need to quit complaining. I really like the Christmas movies but they are doing it a little bit early this year.
Well have a good time with the grands tomorrow night. Hope you get a lot of trick treators I hope that there will be a lot at the church tomorrow night.

Hi Gail,
Sorry that you are having trouble with that tooth they pulled. I hope that they get rid of all the infection. I did not know that they would pull a tooth if it was infected. Learn something new everyday.
That is funny that Piper is going as Snow White and she thinks that she is Belle. She is such a cutie. The other kids are going to be cute. Are you going over to their house on Halloween? We will have fun at the trunk or treat we usually do. They have a lot of kids that go there. I will stay until it slows down and then I will go home. I am going to have to leave some candy at home for Ron. The poor guy has been trying to open the bag of candy all evening and I have had to stop him. He was upset because I did not get any candy for the house. I could not believe it. He usually says that chocolate breaks his face out.lol I keep telling him that he is not a teenager. I really think that the man is going thru his second child hood.
Your poor mom. Ulcers can be really rough. I am glad that is not what my problem is. I will have to have another ercp and that should take care of it. They have done those in the past and it has helped. I do not know how long this will go on. I am really tired of going thru this. I just hope that the weight does not come back on once I feel better. I am almost at my goal weight for me. That does not mean it is the goal weight that the charts say you should way.
Hope you and Greg enjoy your day out tomorrow. You two have been really busy here lately. It will be nice to get out for awhile alone and not have to worry or think about anything. Enjoy your dinner out.
What is wrong with that cardinal. He must really like your windows. He has to be hurting now. He has been doing that for a long time now. Hopefully next year he will find a new place to bang into. I wonder what it is about your house that he likes. That is weird that he just keeps coming back for more. You may have to find someone to take him away. A bird psychiatrist. lol
I ordered the Santa shirt with the duck in the bag. Mine is on wait list though. I always wait too late to order,. I like the shirts that you ordered. They are really cute. I liked the ho ho ho shirt also and the one with the sleigh. They had so many cute tops on the show yesterday. I really wanted the one with the three angels on it but waited too long to order and it was gone. They were not even putting it on wait list. So maybe next year.
Well that is about all. Enjoy your day out with Greg tomorrow.

Hi Adele,
I love the ghost cookies. They are really cute. The grands are really going to like them. Aizen will be taking them home with him. His dad may do that also. You have a lot of cookies monsters in your family. lol
I am so glad that you got your black shirt. When I found it I thought of you right away. I hope that it is as pretty as it was in the picture. There are a couple of things that I would like to have. I am just waiting. I probably be sorry for not ordering it right away. They have some really cute things this time around for Christmas. They have a sweat shirt with a santa on it with his bag. That would be a fun one to wear. My granddaughter Kayle loves Santa. So I know that she will like it when I wear it. I will have to think about it. I like the black top with the sleigh on it also. There is just too many things that I like. I need more things then Christmas.
I record the Chew everyday so I can watch it after Ron goes to bed. Then I do not have to listen to his comments. He likes to make me crazy when I am watching something like that. He likes to make fun of how they act on there. Did you see the show yesterday? Daphne left a message for them and said that they named the baby John John. I think that is a cute name. They had some other name for him but they will call him John John. By the time he goes to school the kids will call him John. He will probably prefer that. It will be fun to see him. I think that she said she was going to bring him to the show. She did not say when though.
I am going to drive them crazy calling until they get me the appointment. I will call them tomorrow and see what is going on with it. If not I will offer to call his office myself. Then they can send the referral there.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night. I hope that Gail is okay. She has not been on here for a couple of days.

Hi all,
I just finished Murder in Foggy Bottom by Margaret Truman. It is a really good book and it kept you in suspense. The only problem with it was they had too many characters and it was hard to keep track who everyone was. She mentioned people in the second chapter and then did not talk about them til almost the middle of the book So that gets a little confusing but was worth reading. I would recommend it to all of you.

Hi Barbara,
Well I am getting closer to getting the appointment set up. My doctors office has to set it up so waiting for them. We went to his office and talked to his nurse and she acted like she was going to get it done. I hope so.
I have been buying a lot of quacker here lately. My tops are all too big and have to size down. It is a mess. This is the wrong time to be losing weight and having to by new clothes. Now after Christmas I may just have myself a good time buying what I want. I love shopping. At least I am not going thru one of those not in the mood to shop things. That would be bad.
Our weather has been cool here also. We had rain all day and evening yesterday and it was cloudy all day today. I do not know if it rained early this morning or not. We did need the rain just not too much of it. That is usually how it is you get too much or not enough. Missouri weather is like this all the time.
That is really something that she was loading the dishwasher. Maybe she is warming up to being there. Now it would be nice if she would cook dinner one night. Or maybe she will come in the kitchen and help you cook. She must have not had to do anything when she lived at home. That is not good for a kid to be raised that way. They do not know how to do things when they get out on their own. That makes it hard for them.
My 5 yr old granddaughter is going to be a cat, my 7 year old grandson is going to be a wear wolf do not know what the rest of them are going to be. They had not made up their minds. I think that the two older ones have parties to go to on Halloween. They are too old to go out trick or treating. They are at the age where people do not like to give them candy. It is hard for them to give it up though. Who doesn’t want free candy and all that you can eat,.lol There are times when I have thought of going out and getting candy. Say it is for one of my sick children. I think people would catch on I looked to old to have little ones living at home.lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good evening.

Hi Adele,
I saw another top with Angels on it and it was black. I do not know if this is the one you were talking about but here is the number.A238705 They had it is all sizes. I hope this is the one that you are looking for.I am wanting to get the angel shirt with the three angels on it the only color it comes in is plum. It is pretty though.
I hope that Johnny gets that job it is so close to home. Is his job a lab tech? I cannot remember what else they call them. I may have it wrong. The lab tech may be the person that draws the blood. I will say a prayer that he gets the job. This is a hard time to be without work.
Well they are supposed to call and try and get me an appointment with the gastro that I found. They are supposed to call me back today or tomorrow. As soon as they get it set up.
The cinnamon bread sounds easy to make. I have not been looking things up on that site and I need to. There a couple of things that we would like to try.
I cannot wait until Friday to see what costumes that they have to wear on the chew. Clinton Kelly was having a fit because of what they had picked out for him and so was Michael. Micheal was not as bad as Clinton he just said that what they want him to be is not going to be pretty. So they have my curiosity peaked. This should be really funny. Clinton kept saying that his was not meant for day time tv. I do not think that it will be that bad but will have to wait and see. Carla and Mario are both happy with theirs.
I have to record Quacker today. I was not home when it came on so glad that I had that all set up. There is supposed to be two on today isn’t there? I cannot remember.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good evening.

Hi Gail,
It is good that they are flying but hope that the place where are staying will let them know if they can come or if there is too much damage. That is such a shame that had to happen when they had all their plans made. I do not know why I thought they were going on a cruise. I guess that cruising is on my mind.
I hope that you tooth extraction went well today and you are not having any pain. It is hard to give up another tooth. I know that you have been trying so hard to keep yours. We all have to keep fighting to keep what we have. I do not know about anyone else but right now I feel like I am falling apart. Every time we turn around something is going bad. I feel like a used car.lol
I hope that they do well in the marathon. That would be fun to see if they all were wearing costumes. Are Jenny and Adam going to wear one? They might be hard to run in. I wonder what costume you could wear that you can run in. I guess wonder woman or something like that.
It would be nice to be able to eat all the candy that you want. I remember the days. I hope that they have a good time.
I was looking at some of my Quacker and I have one top that has the green tag. I had never noticed it before everyone started talking about the tags. I must have been a quacker a lot longer then I thought. Unless I got it on clearance and it was a hold over from when they were green.
Are the kids getting excited about Halloween? Owen is going to be a wear wolf, That will be really cute. Kaylee is going to be a cat but that is the only two that I know what they are going to be. I think that the older kids are gong to Halloween parties.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
Colleen
