Hi Adele,
Those ghosts are cute. We’re all set for Halloween. I found a large box of stuff from last year I forgot about. I have over 100 cellophaned Halloween bags filled with 50 stickers, two pencils, a plastic puzzle, and a small can of Play Dough for kids. We always make up bags and I had them left over from last year. All I have to do now is but two Jumbo bags of M&M’s to hand out. It went from 102 last week to 81 this week and Saturday night it’s supposed to be 61. See, every year it does this. Did any of you guys see the newest Quacker Factory top with the embroidered snowflakes? I think I’m going to get it in Lime Green and wear it with Teal blue pants. I have a pair of shoes in those two colors from the 70’s and they would look cute.

PS: I just found a couple holes in two eye teeth myself….After all the dental stuff I had done in 2002, I thought everything was a done deal. And one of my front teeth in the back has a chip. And i have NO dental insurance now. That is one thing Medicare does NOT cover. And ARRP is lousy for insurance. You end up paying anyway, I had porcelain put in all my teeth in 2002 when I still had dental, and made sure everything was done. Who’d think the eye teeth would have a problem. I keep feeling a hole in the back of the right side. And to fix THAT one tooth is $1300.00 And my husband has to get yet another hernia repair and he is always at the gym in perfect shape. We had THREE deaths this month now…..With the death of his dad and two cousins, I have had it. At least there is no one left now. Except neighbors….. this has been a bad year. And I just heard one of the lead singers for the rock group Three Dog Night died. He was 74 and the band was supposed to be touring this month. I guess we all think we are going to live forever…….

My husband will not bring home anything chocolate until last minute.. He’s not human. He never eats anything sugar. Must be a female thing. I always loved M&M’s plain in the freezer. I could eat a whole large bag alone. He’s easy to cook for though. BROILED fish, broccolli andPLAIN baked potatoes. Or Penne pasta with a light red sauce and baked meatballs. And chicken almost everynight BROILED. No change in 35 years. But I did find a recipie for the chicken. I cut up chicken breast in pieces, add four cut up potatoes and a pound a fresh green beans and I add fresh garlic,oregano, salt pepper,parsley and paparika and then add a packet of dry Italian dressing with a few pieces of Country Crock butter. I bake it on 200 for five hours so we can do something in the afternoon and when it’s done, it is so moist it just melts in your mouth. Here’s the last cake we got for my mom’s last “29th” birthday before she died. She was 80. Fred had the last word…………
Hi Colleen,
We used to decorate the first week of September and we would buy puzzles, stickers, pencils, toy paks for about 100 kids. All the kids under 10 got them, And last minute we would buy M&M’s and Hershey bars. I kept the worst picture of myself on the refrigerator door and we had a long mirror by the front door entrance so I would always be reminded not to eat anything. I had managed to get my weight down to 112 pounds and was wearing a zero for about four years before the weight creeped by up to about 130. It took ten years to get back to 150 and a size 10. After menopause I went as high as 170 and a size 12. But this year I lost about 25 pounds for no reason and then weighed myself last weekend and I’m back to 140 and a size 8. But I have the middle age waist now No more 25 inches. It’s about a 32 now, and all my weight sits in my chest . I’m gigantic. I wear a 44DDD. One is bigger than the other now that I had breast cancer. The smaller one is a 40DD. Here’s a picture when both were a 44 and i was wearing a size 5. This picture was taken about six years ago. My candy of choice are those orange pumpkins. They are poison. But I always get a couple bags. I cut my hair right after.

Open the pictures up in PAINT and resize them, and then drop the resized pictures back in your file. First. open up a new file on your desk top and label it Concert pictures. Next. load your pictures into the concert file folder. Open up PAINT (every computer has this at the desk top. Just click on your browser when you are at t he desk top and it will say PAINT as an option. Open it and change the size of the picture. Just go to the section that says percentage. And make them 50% and drop the new pic into the concert file and rename that picture with say number (1) small (2) small and so on so you’ll know what to put on Quacker wen you open up the file HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAIL!!!
Hi Adele,
No lemonade, just a TON of people that showed up until about 8PM. It was crazy. Never had an estate sale before. Mostly Mexicans showed up and i was lucky to have had someone there that spoke Spanish so things went smoothly. We had a lot of collectables and some furniture and a 12 place setting of fine silver, and a lot of antique lamps and things. Made about $2000. Today it looks like we re going to have rain and the forecast says all week for it. The temperature dropped from 102 to 83 overnight. Next week…back up to 98. I just found out we have yet ANOTHER death pending…..a friend of mine has brain cancer and she i now in a coma. Family is deciding on when to take her off life support. This year has been just hellacious. I have one friend out of town whose mother has dementia. She finally put her in assisted living when she came home from work and found her down the street naked. In the past she was just fine at home. Never had an issue. But the last month things changed and my friend finally had a sitter while she was at work. She was fine for about four years and hen all of a sudden within thirty days she was out of it. Betty was only 67 when it happened. No one in my immediate family has ever had Alzheimer’s but 2’nd and 3rd cousins ALL had it by the time they were 65. VERY scary. The only family I have left are my eleven cats. My husband has a sister, but she left home at 17 and never looked back.She’s somewhere back east. I used to have a large family and holidays we great. Now it’s just me and my husband. and he works all holidays. Just another day for me.
Hey everybody… it’s HOTTER THAN HELL OVER HERE. I just finished vacuuming the back patio and I Windexed and dusted everywhere. It is 102 and I am so over this BS. We do NOT have a fall here. It stays HOT until November, Sigh. I did have a killer garage/estate sale last weekend and it actually dropped to a freeze of 85 with clouds IT WAS WONDERFUL. I’m having another garage sale Halloween weekend MAYBE; I may put it off until the following week. I am in SHORTS. NO TOP (remember…patio, back yard) and i am just about ready to go COMANDO.. I’m trying to balance the chemicals in the jacuzzi now. I’m the only one that uses it, and I put in a stereo out there but not hooking it up until 7pm. TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! I got the latest Dream Jeans in with the bling in a medium. I also have these from a couple years agoSo NOT ready to wear them until MAYBE the end of Novmber. We cremated the last family member which was my husband’s father this week. So now it’s just me and him. No kids, no family. I guess I’ll be the only one not celebrating anything this year. Which SAVES ME $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Not seeing too many posts unless come on line. Just checking in. Ahh…central air just blasted me.
