Just a short note to say I am leaving the group. I never receive e-mails anymore, and have idea what is going on. I even e-mailed Quacker and never heard back.It was nice at the old site. Have no idea what is going on now. I see if I start a conversation, or something new there is no response. Bye.

I haven’t seen any of thee or even got an e=mail notice. We’re dealing with another death in our immediate family. Lost my husband’s father Saturday. That makes eight people , one a month this year. Both of our parents, brothers, sisters, an Uncle and an Aunt. So now there is just my husband and me left.

OMG Gail!!!!!

THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ IS “MARY’S MOSAIC” Holy crap, you girls will NEVER look at our nation the same way EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is all about the mysterious death of one the the CIA’s top leaders and informants’s wife,Mary Pinchot Myers. I think we are all about the same age where we knew about his affairs with her, Marilyn, Monroe and Judith Campbell. This book goes into detail on EVERYTHING in the FBI,CIA, Kennedy, Castro, etc. They never solved the murder, but have evidence who did it but it’s been hushed up until now because the 50 year moratoruim has passed on Kennedy’s personal information. Here is a link about Mary:

You HAVE to read this book. It by Peter Janney: Mary’s MOSAIC

PS.. That is so funny about your husband imitating Susan Graver LOL MY HUSBAND DOES IT TOO!!!!!! We KNOW they are ‘closet cases LOL. I think Paul Deasey used to go after Lisa back in the day. Have any of you ever bought Bob Mackie? I have some of his stuff and now there is going to be a Halston show. I bought two of all those diamonique bands in the colors. I am so bad. And i have a bunch of stuff on back order. Tons of Susan Graver. I bought every single Statement necklace she has And a couple of Logo Links ones. Did you see where MACY’s is closing 400 stores? The only places I go now are Victoria Secret and Charming Charlies. They have really nice purses and statement pieces. I got a gift certificate for my birthday and went shopping there. I need another annex on this house. I MISS MY OLD CLOSETS!!! Our other house had a loft and my husband paid to have it closed in and it had shelves and racks just like a department store. LOL Next place we get (my husband is already looking) he is getting me my own department store closet again. Not that I want to move. This last move almost put me six feet under. I didn’t realize how much stuff I had. I have to take pictures. I remember reading about Natalie Wood when she died.It took eight people twelve hours to just move her furs and clothes. Do you guys keep wish lists on QVC? I do. The worst thing that can ever happen is having money and a credit card and nothing to buy. Of course I am always a day late and a buck short and have fifty things I want at any given time. But there has been a couple times when I did have a few gift certificates and there was nothing to get on the mall. NEXT time, I am asking for QVC cards. We have consignment shops here but they are mostly for kids. Before we had the cats,( I had and still have ) a Blues Clues room with all of them dressed in baby clothes. We lost a couple of our animals in the early days and both of us were so broken up we swore we would never get real animals again. So my husband started buying me stuffed ones. And then we had a baby room, and well….here’s the pictures.

Hi Gail,

I didn’t decorate this year. My MS is so bad. Now they want to put me on IV steroids again and the last time they did it I gained 50 pounds and it took me TWO YEARS to get it off. If I have to be sick and miserable, I want to be fashionably thin and miserable.There are rattle snakes up in the high desert plains but not in the city. I did some Quacken today.

Yes, and there is no way I can even think of decorating right now. I am SUPER crippled. I took a ton of pictures and used to have the cutest websites for them until Cox closed out all webspace. Now I have to start over. No Mexican food for me,makes my stomach burn like crazy. And NO snakes either. That is one thing we don’t have to worry about over where I am right now.

Hey everybody,

I’m sitting here totally drugged out with OXY right now. This pain went from my head to the lower back and I am in a wheelchair again with MAJOR pain. The OXY kind o calms it down jut ti where I can just stan it. But I an’t walk at all. I liked Carolyn Gracie as well. I have her friended on Facebook. I went through the breast cancer thing about seven years ago as well. Gail are you talking about Lisa Robertson having Lupus? That is a terrible disease, somewhat like MS. Lupus attacks the organs where as MS attacks the nervous system. It’s all BS. We’re having a cold front….high 90’s. It’s supposed to rain on the weekend and the temps will drop to 90. The birds will be falling off the trees LOL. I watched the Halloween shows Bought a bunch of stuff and everything was delivered today. In the 90’s, I made my own fancy sweathirts with all the beads and rhinstones. I used to sell them at Sak’s and Neiman Marcus. I got in with the buyers and made a little side money. I am going to do a web page with all my designs so you all can see them. It amazes me that I HAND STITCHED everything. One year I got REAL ambitious, and I did a mural on someone’s ceiling using rhinstones and stuff. It was beautiful. Quacker is coming out with some really nice stuff again. I need to have a garage sale so I can start buyiing again. LOL

Hi Colleen.

What I did for my husband snoring is I put a tape recorder next to the bed and let it run. Then i played it back while we were driving in the car. He finally did something about it. I never snore. I had my adnoids out when I was seven. If anything, he has to put a mirror under my nose to see if am still breathing. With my multiple sclerosis it has been touch and go and I have been in serious pain. In and out of the hospital and now in a wheelchair again. I’ve totally lost my shape because of it. Right now I am on TEN different drugs and the days of 2 hour gym sessions are long gone. I can barely make it through a night with out some IV pain drip. Been going on three months this time, and now it settled in my back now. Been going through this for 20 years and every year the exacerbations last longer and longer and are more severe. This summer was the worst. Anyway, just had to comment on the snoring.
