Hi Ladies,
I wrote a post last night & it vanished, pics & all. On top of that I had to sign back in!!! I was so mad I shut down till now.
I thought I was done running the heater, but no. We went from 90 on Sat. to mid 50s yesterday, & today. The rain has returned, thankfully. We’re supposed to get rain all week. Any little bit helps.
I have an iPhone & love it. I had an Android phone & I HATED it!!! I can’t remember why it’s been so long ago. I’m due for an upgrade which means a new phone. I’m not sure if I want a new one right now.

Isn’t that sad we lost 3 stars this week? Doris Day & Tim Conway I’m more familiar with. I’d laugh till my sides hurt at Tim on the Carol Burnett show. He was a comedic genius, it just came so natural to him. and it was good & clean comedy, no profanity, etc. His main goal was to crack up Harvey Korman, which he did every time!!
My fur less baby has been driving me nuts the past couple days. She’s on my chest right now between me & the computer. she’s been doing this most of the day, back & forth all afternoon. I put her down, she leaves then returns to start over.
Oh Colleen, Chris Pryme is the Lock & Lock lady. She’s back & was on ITKWD today.
Well, that’s about it for tonight. someone is demanding my attention. lol
dd & fur less.

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone had a great Mother’s day weekend. Our heatwave is over. It started cooling of overnight Sat. & it was at least 10 cooler Sun. & another 10 today. We’re in for some rain coming in overnight tonight, & be here all week. Not steady rain, but lots of showers. Right now any is a welcome relief. The pollen has been really bad, but it should be a lot better when the rain comes.

Sue, I’m not a mother either, & for all intents & purposes I have no family left. So, don’t feel like you’re left out, your post sounded so sad. We’re your family & mine as well.
I’ve been taking down the spring décor & will be putting up my tropical stuff for the summer. Since I’ll never seen the Caribbean I do the next best thing I can afford to do!!!
Well, that’s all for now.
Have a great week everybody.

Hi Adele,
That’s a lovely pic of Tillie. That’s temptations figural harvest isn’t it? That looks like a really big bowl. Anyway, it’s gorgeous!!! I can’t get anymore, I’m running out of room. lol.
I’m not sure if Jewell likes her hair cut yet. she pouts for a day or two, but it’s getting hotter so she’ll appreciate it. She doesn’t like getting under covers, but she did get upon my pillow above my head last night.
I pulled out my AC today. I’m using the fan for now. It’s only gonna be hot for a couple days, so the fan should do fine. No rain in sight for now. I’ve heard the fire trucks all day today.
That smokeless barbeque looked like a great deal when it was on the Q. Sure does lessen the danger of a fire. Right now everything related to outdoor fires is banned till further notice. That would be allowed in these circumstances.
Well, that’s all for tonight.
Take care.

Hi Ladies,
It’s been awhile since I was on here last. I hope everyone is feeling better. Sorry to hear you were so sick Adele. Food poisoning of some kind. I hate when I get sick like that. Hope it’s better now.
Glad to hear the weather has cleared out a little bit out there. We’re getting a big taste of summer this week. It’s gonna be in the 80s tomorrow, then up to 90 Friday & Sat. That’s waaaaaay too hot for this early in the yr. We’re already under extreme fire danger in parts of the state. Brush fires are breaking out every day. There’s no lightning so that isn’t it.
Say, since you’re talking about BBQ, do any of you remember Open Pit bbq sauce? I used to use it on steaks. Back in the day when you could actually afford one every so often. I’d poke the meat then spread the Open Pit over the meat, then wrap it in tin foil & put it under the broiler. The sauce would seep thru the cuts in the meat, & it was delish!! that was back in the 70s, so I don’t know if they even make it anymore. I used to add a touch of honey to it too.

Someone in my family got her summer haircut today. I’ll try to send some pics along.

Oh say, have you noticed Chris Pryme hasn’t been on the Q for awhile? I know she was on an extended vacation to Fl. then came back, briefly. Well, she posted a photo on Instagram of her farm. Someone asked why we hadn’t seen her, & her answer surprised me. she said her husband had passed away!! Tonight David said she’d be on Sunday’s show. I wrote a note of condolence to her Instagram post.

Well, that’s all for tonight. Take care
OH & HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!

Hi Ladies,
Adele, I understand your concern about becoming addicted to opioids, but I think if you limit yourself you won’t. Remember when I rolled out of my bed last yr & I ended up in the ER? The attending Dr. wrote a script for OxyContin, & guess what? It DIDN’T work for me!! I took a couple cheap aspirin & they worked FAR better than the expensive Oxy!!! I wouldn’t make a good drug addict!!! I HATE needles & I hate taking pills of ANY kind!! Even aspirin. I’ve asked my Dr. if it’s really necessary for me to take the meds I’m on. He told me the benefits outweigh the consequences of what would happen if I didn’t take em, & I’m not even taking that many. Most of my friends are walking pharmacies. I don’t know how they keep everything straight. Personally, I think it’s more of a state of mind. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my opinion. Whenever I was given pain killers, after my surgeries, all they’d do is knock me out for hrs. I never could understand how people think that’s getting high.
Did anyone get any of the new fashions on this weekend? I got a couple pairs of the Denim & Co. TSV, in the palm & floral prints. They looked so cool for summer.

Our Trail Blazers just played the longest game since the 1950s, 4(!!!) OTs. I was exhausted just from watching. They play again Sunday afternoon, in slow motion probably.
I hope you are having some nice sunny weather. It’s beautiful out here. It’s usually raining for the Cinco de Mayo festivities. I’ll try to send some of this lovely weather.
Have a great Sunday.

Hi Adele,
Sounds like I left you with the wrong impression. I hurt my elbow several yrs ago, not recently. It happened in the fall of 2010. Sorry if I misspoke. It does bother me when the weather turns really cold.

Not much to talk about tonight. It’s gold jewelry all day Thurs. Antonella will be going crazy as she loves gold jewelry. Oh that was windchimes, not a chandelier on Kirk’s Folly yesterday that she was so crazy about. I have to say it was a beautiful piece.

It’s warming up out here. Lovely sunny day. Outlook for the summer is warmer than normal, which means wildfires.

Happy May everyone!!!

Hi Ladies,
Happy last day of April. Can you believe it’s gone already? I keep hearing about those awful storms barreling thru the country. I wish I could send our weather out there. They’re saying we’re in for several days of sunny & warm weather. We might even see 80 degrees on Sunday. Pretty unusual for us this time of yr. We don’t see 80s till late June.
Adele, I was thinking why would they put you through all those tests when I’m sure they knew they weren’t gonna do the surgery in the first place!!! I’d be mad as he– too if it happened to me. And don’t apologize for your rant. I would too!!

Gail, did you catch Kirk’s Folly earlier today? Antonella was on with her & she was in full Antonella form. They had a chandelier that was gorgeous & A kept asking her director to order one for her & he wouldn’t, from the look on her face, & the tone of her whining.
And yes that was the shot (basketball) heard & seen around the world. The Blazers are in snowy Denver this week. I hope they can win a couple games, but I’m not too optimistic.!!
I can’t think of anything else so I’ll close for now

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone feeling better. I think I told you how I popped my left elbow out of the socket. I was walking along when I tripped as I was stepping up on the curb. I went down like a big oak tree. It popped right out of the socket, but I didn’t realize it at first, then I noticed my arm was dangling, so I held against my body till I got home. They called for an ambulance as I was starting to pass out. When I got to the ER I told em to knock me out while they popped it back in. They had to do surgery on the elbow to staple all the tendons & tissue back to the bone. I was in a sling for several days. I was supposed to get help from Aging & Disabilities, but it took em a few days to get someone here. In the meantime I was doing everything for myself. I was cooking, the only thing I really couldn’t do was change the sheets on the bed.
My anniversary of my open heart surgery is coming up May 12th, (1982). I can’t believe it’s been that long ago already. If not for that I wouldn’t be here.
If my mother had her way I would’ve been in bed for months afterward. But I took it slow till my ribcage got back to normal. That hurt the most.
I’m sure you’ll be fine Adele.

Gail, I can’t believe you guys got snow this late in April. I heard a forecast, & I thought it was a repeat from earlier on. Then I saw the news & my jaw dropped! We had a couple nice days, but a chilly wind kept it chilly. I thought I wasn’t gonna use the heat anymore, but I had to turn it on.

I took my Easter décor down this week. It looks kinda bare again. Even tho I still have my knick knacks out.
Our Trail Blazers knocked out the Oklahoma City thunder in round one of the NBA playoffs. Now it’s on to Denver for the first 2 games of the second round. I see Boston Celtics buried the Bucks today.
Oh Adele, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who caught on to the father of the murdered boy. When I heard the 911 call I knew something was wrong. They didn’t seem panicked like we would be if our kid was missing. The police aren’t stupid. Is a shame more wasn’t done more for the boy.
And that monster should be thrown off the 12th floor of this bldg., or any high rise bldg. Or bury him UNDER THE JAIL!!!

Oh what is heavenly hash eggs? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.
And Congratulations Colleen for getting your new car & dishwasher!! Hopefully things will mellow out now & you won’t need to spend anymore $$ to replace things.
Well, I guess that’s all for now
Have a great week. Take care.
dd & Jewell
