Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone survived the spooks & goblins last night. We don;t get any unless someone brings their grand kids, but otherwise no. we had our monthly management meeting Wed. then afterwards they had food for us. swedish meatballs, chicken wings, deviled eggs, & cupcakes.
I haven’t read all the posts yet so forgive me for not replying to em.
I can’t believe it’s Nov.!! You wouldn’t believe the weather we’re having. Temps above normal, no rain in sight for the next several days, & dry as a bone. I guess I lied about the fire season being behind us. The whole west coast could use some of that rain!!! Just to help putting out those horrible fires in Ca.!!!

Well, I guess that’s all for tonight.
Have a restful weekend.

Hi Ladies,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
Just a quick note to let ya know there’s a Halloween QF show today on Q2. It’s a Halloween party with Antonella as host, on 3 pm ET. I hope you can get it. I’m pretty sure if you go to the Q website, & click on QVC on TV then click on Q2 you can watch it live. I also heard XFinity has added Q2 to its programming.
If you have Amazon Prime video you can get it, I do.
Have a great day.
Beware of all the spooks & goblins tonight.

Hi Ladies,
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Those horrible East winds have arrived & it’s COLD!! If we had any moisture we’d be under a foot of snow, I swear! The gusts are like 45-50 mph. Hopefully they won’t last very long. I HATE THEM.
I ordered one of those humidifiers & have it on right now. I hope I notice a difference in my nose soon. this isn’t the same humidifier I had growing up.
Adele, I’m surprized you don’t have one of those gadgets Chef Tony presents that dice vegs, fruits, etc into different sizes. I don’t know the name of it but it would cut your prep time in half. You’ve seen em on ITKWD several times I’m sure. I’d get one but I don’t cook as much as you do. You could sit at your kitchen table & prep as much as you need, not standing all that time. Just a thought.

Gail, I’m glad your trip went so well for you. That was funny about your hubby not knowing whose restaurant he was in. That’s a great idea to meet half way between you & your son. you can see so much that way.
Oh I saw Critt today & he seems in better spirits. He was having his kitchen sink worked on, so I made a remark about ‘his pipes.
Guess I better go get dinner.
talk to ya later.

Hi Ladies,
Adele, I hope your shoulder gets better soon. I’ve never heard of parafin wax as a hand fixer. Do you squeeze it like a rubber ball or something? Whatever works I guess. I’m sorry to hear you’re unable to cook those wonderful meals, & goodies. I recommend David’s cookies too..no mixing, just place however many you want then bake. I’m getting to that point myself where it takes so long to fix a meal any more. I;m so sorry to hear about Heather getting
MRSA at the hospital. You’re not supposed to get sick in the hospital, you’re supposed to get well!! I hope it goes away real soon!
We’re in for a couple really COLD days, starting tonight. Those horrible East winds are starting up later & go thru Wed. We’ll be lucky to get out of the 40s during the day, never mind overnight temps.
I hope Barbara will have a wonderful time with Colin. I hope the trip is a safe one as well.
The roses do look like Tropicanas. thanks for showing them off. I used to have a ton of roses, but not anymore.
I’m starting to take down my fall & Halloween stuff. I;m getting ready to put out my T’giving things.
Well, I guess that’s all for tonight.
Oh, I talked to Critt & he says he’s doing fine. I hope he is!!
talk to ya later.

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing fine. I got a message from Adele, on my phone. She asked me to pass along that she won’t be on the computer today as her shoulder is really bothering her. she’s in alot of pain due to the weather.
Barbara, I hope you have a safe trip when you go see your family. Have a wonderful time with little Colin. I’m sure he’ll be happy to see you!!! I got those David’s cookies a yr or so ago & they’re good.. Not as sweet as Cheryls cookies, altho I do love the dark chocolate cake with the dark choc frosting on top. they;re David’s faves. But of course they’re the least in the packups. I got the chocolate chunk cookies from David’s & they’re good. And like Sue says you can bake as many or few as you like. I think they have new flavors this yr, probably for the holidays.
Not much going on out here. It’s a bright sunny day. It’s supposed to be sunny all week, into the first week of Nov. It’s unusual for it to be this dry this late in the month. It’s usually raining,pouring for the kids on Halloween. It got down into the 30s last night.
Well, that’s about it for now.
Safe travels & God’s speed on your trip Barbara. Stay safe everyone.

Hi Ladies,
Critt came to my door late this afternoon, so he isn’t in the psycward, as he calls it. They wanted him to but he said no. He does seem better tho. I want to thank all of you for your prayers, & concern.
Barbara, I’m so sorry about your son & his PTSD. He’ll never get over his friend dying in his arms. I can’t imagine how awful that was for him. I’ll keep you both in my prayers. Thank you for the compliments. Glad you enjoy the pics I put up.
I heard there are more storms coming. I hope it doesn’t interfer with travel plans. I hope you get there safely & you have a wonderful time with Colin.
Sue, I hope your landlord fixed the door by now. I can’t imagine that happening.

I know this sounds crazy, but I’m gonna start going thru my Christmas stuff. I may rearrange my living room to accomodate the tree. I may put it up just to see how her nibs reacts to it. I don’t want to get it up, decorate it then have her knock it over. Jewell slept underneath it, but never took a flying leap at it.
Adele, is Heather on any kind of blood thinner? They can cause bruising. Just a thought.
I can’t believe it’ll be Nov. next week!!! Where has this yr gone???!!

Oh today when I was talking with Critt out in the hallway, you-know-who came out looking for me. She sauntered up to Critt for pets. then she did her “try & catch me if you can” routine. she went back to my apt, then after a few minutes she came back out & this time we were in Critt’s apt & she came running in like she owned the place. We played tag for a bit, then she ran out & back home.Right now she’s asleep in the bathroom sink. she waited till I was done using it earlier today before getting into it.
Well, that’s about it for tonight.
Have a great weekend!!

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing fine. I need prayers for Critt. He’s in a bad spot right now. He’s a vet from the vietnam war, & suffers from several issues related to it. One being survivors guilt, among other things, pain, diabetes. He’s been talking suicide & he failed at it. I told him it was God’s way of saying “Not now”. He started to talk about it yesterday. I told him he has alot of friends here who love & care about him, one being me. I don’t know if it did any good.
Well, he has an appointment with his psychiatrist tomorrow so I’ll find out if they put him in the hospital. He wants me to take care of his kitty if they do. He takes meds for it but it apparently isn’t working. he sits over there & doesn’t do much of anything but feel sorry for himself. Granted, he has reason to, the war issues, & all. I don’t begin to understand any of that.
Did any of you catch the Comfy TSV on the Q today. If it wasn’t the end of the month I would’ve got the red & black one.
Can you believe it’s 2 months till Christmas?!! I should start getting my things out to see what I want to put up. I should put the tree up for awhile just to see how snowball reacts to it. I may have to bolt it down or tie it down to keep it from falling down when she tries to climb it. Being artifical she won’t be able to get too far on it. I HOPE!! Like a human 2-3 yr old I’ll have to put everything on the ceiling. Or put out everything unbreakable.

The orange roses were probably Tropicana. a friend of mine had a bush of them. They are gorgeous. Roses are my absolute faves.
It sounds like the voting on DWTS is as bad as it was last yr. I didn’t see it but I heard about the flack from last yrs winner. I believe it was someone I never heard of. I don;t watch it anymore as it isn’t the same show it started out to be. I just lost interest in it. If they keep voting off the good dancers I don’t see any point in watching. At least yrs ago the bad ones got voted off in the first few shows.
Well, I guess that’s enough for tonight. I’ll keep ya posted on Critt, & Hallie. She has kidney infection.
Take care.

Hi Adele,
I don’t know what ballgame you were referring to but DWTS is on out here. I know the World Series starts tomorrow (Tues.) but I think it’s on Fox sports.
There was a football game on NBC last night (Sunday), maybe that’s the one you were thinking of. But there’s no ball games on TV tonight. I hope you didn’t miss out on DWTS.
Sue,
I hope your landlord has fixed the door. There are laws that say they have to provide a safe place to live. I’m pretty sure there are laws that protect tenants.
Esp, when it comes to something like that. That’s WRONG on all counts. There’s been a few slum landlords around here, but they end up in jail. I wish
they’d put these landlords that raise the rent so high that people end up homeless. and they wonder why Portland has the highest rate of homelessness in the country.

We don’t get those horrible storms like you guys get. High winds, but not like tornadoes. We don’t get thunder very often so I don’t think it bothers Snowball. Now the fire alarm will be another matter. It’s so loud I have to go into the bedroom & shut the door. It’s ear piercing loud!!! Jewell got scared by it & the dogs in the bldg howl, like when the fire trucks, sirens go by.

I’m glad you like the pics of Snowball, she’s a character.

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who doesn’t like Kirsten on the Q. Some of the hosts get on my nerves as well. I did notice that a few weeks ago the Q started running the TSV in the overnight hrs. I wonder if they’re cutting back or what’s going on. Maybe the new hosts got tired of the long hrs in the overnight hrs.
