Hi Adele,
You can find it under Screaming Steals with David on QVC. It aired on July 29th, but I’m not sure when.
I pulled it up on this oooooold computer of mine so you should be able to find it on yours. If you have QVC/HSN+ you’ll find it. If there was a way for me to forward it I would.
Tara made a short program on Boo fetti & recipes for Halloween. About 10minutes.
Enjoy QF

Hi Ladies,
Well here we are into another month. Where’s this yr going? We’ve cooled down today. Thank goodness. It’s supposed to be <20 cooler tomorrow. I hope the triple digit temps are done with for this summer. I heard the death toll has risen to 10 people. Oregon passed a law last yr in the wake of the catastrophic heat bubble we had last yr, saying something to the effect that landlords have to provide ACs for those tenants that don’t have one. Esp. those who are disabled, elderly, etc.
Adele, I’m sorry to hear about Bobby having Covid. I hope he gets over it real soon. It’s amazing to me how this keeps mutating!! Oh, I watched CIJ finale on the Q yesterday. There were sooooo many things I wanted but alas couldn’t!!! During one of the breaks they were advertizing new fall items coming & I saw a Boo fetti truck from Temptations. David hosted an hr of Scary Halloween items. He was all decked out as Dracula. I watched a small bit of it but wasn’t interested.
Well, that’s all for now. Take care.

Hi Ladies,
Sorry I didn’t get back till now. We’re into our 6th day of our heatwave. Clouds are coming in so I’m hoping it means it’s cooling down. It isn’t supposed to cool down till Monday. this is the longest heatwave in our recorded history. We usually get 2 or 3 days in a row, but this is going on a week. we have extreme fire danger, but so far so good. I haven’t heard any news yet today.
Management finally got my window fixed with plexy glass for my AC. After last yrs heat bubble where so many died, the state made sure the elderly, disabled, & people who can’t afford AC’s got one. Some landlords were handing out eviction notices if the tenants had window ACs. But when people saw it on the news the community banded together & got them the portable ACs. Since I already had one all I needed was the window fixed. It took all of 5 minutes to do.I was expecting a long drawn out project but things sure have changed. It’s stick on with velcrow.
Now for Critt. He’s been having trouble falling out of his bed, or transferring from his wheel chair to his power chair for the past couple of months. He has no use of his legs. He can’t walk or stand up on his own. He was supposed to have knee replacement a few yrs ago but somehow he got an infection in his knee so they couldn’t do it. When I first met him he was able to walk, but he can’t now.
Anyway, the latest time he fell out of his bed, so the fire dept. was called. He was hallucinating, talking about being robbed. He was talking about how 4 gang members made their way along the ledge outside the window & they came in through the window. Well, we’re on the 12th floor, with NO balconies or ledges outside our windows. The face of the bldg is flat as is the backside. He said they stole two of his boards. He has a cat walk made of boards just below the ceiling for his cat.
The VA, his Dr, have been trying to get him to go into assisted living but he refuses. He said the only way he’ll go is by court order. Legally they can’t evict him unless he refuses to pay rent or does something illegal. We were discussing me moving into his place because his is ADA for the disabled.
I put in my name for it because you can wait till one opens up.
All of which brings me to why I put in for it. I had to get my Dr. to sign off on it. I’ve taken a couple falls myself in the past few months. I’m scared of taking a shower for fear of falling & not being able to get out on my own. In the ADA apt it has a walk in shower so I wouldn’t have to step over the tub in or out.
Other than that the Dr. was happy about my weight, & my health in general. I got my second booster shot while I was there.
I’m watching VPH with Rick St. Nick on the Q. It’s the final weekend of CIJ. Sooo many things I would love to have, but no $$$!!
Well, now that I’ve put you all to sleep I’ll sign off for today.
Take care, stay cool, stay safe.

HI Ladies,
Just a quick note, I’m alive. Roasting but alive. Lots to tell, so I’ll do that tomorrow. Critt’s been in & out of the hospital. He keeps falling on the floor. He’s a big guy so it takes alot to get him off the floor.
Sending pics to cool you off. lol.

HI Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing fine. Can you believe it’s almost JULY??!!! We just had a mini heatwave, not as bad as last yr at the same time. It was a yr ago we were 116 for a couple days. This time it was 95 for a couple days. Luckily it cooled down almost 30 degrees overnight. Now it’s more like normal temps for this time of yr. It’s cloudy in the AM but they burn off by afternoon & it’s in the 70s.
I have some bad news about Critt. He’s been falling out of his bed again. Apparently he did the night before last & the fire crew had to break into his apt to get to him. I didn’t hear anything that night, so I didn’t know anything about until the neighbor down the hall knocked on my door & asked if I had talked to him. I talked to him the day before & he seemed fine.
Well, he got home yesterday morning & he filled me in on what happened. His arms were bandaged up from his wrists to the elbows. From what he told me the fire dept. has complained to the VA about putting him in assisted living. He’s fought it for as long as I’ve known him. But they’re not giving him any choice. It could be as soon as 3 weeks from now. I was hoping it drag out till fall or later on. He has 3 choices of places to live. He’ll be able to take his kitty with him. Keep him in your prayers, please.
I don’t have any special plans for the 4th. So, if you do please stay safe. We’re no longer the UNITED States of America. We’re the DIVIDED States of America!! Sorry. I had to vent!!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!

Hi Ladies,
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!! Believe it or not we actually hit 80 today! In fact, we just came off the wettest & coolest spring on record. Now we’re facing our first heatwave of the summer. By the weekend we’ll see temps up into the 90s, already!! We’re gonna dry out real fast at that rate. I’ve joked about how summer doesn’t begin till after the 4th of July. Everybody’s ready for some warmer weather.
It’ll be nice to get out of the house for a change in the sunshine.
Last week, Hallie was having tire problems, no one would patch up one of the front tires. so I offered to help them out. so we went to the local tire store & I paid to have a pair put on the front. Then another one on the rear went flat. I think I’ve talked em into getting another pair for the rear then they’ll be set & not have to worry about when the next tire will go flat. They were told the tires were bald but they didn’t look bald to me. Altho, when I think of bald tires I think of absolutely no treads on them. I guess things have changed alot since I had a car. My cars would be classified as a stripped down version. No bells & whistles. Kids nowadays wouldn’t know how to roll down the windows in my cars.
Critt hasn’t been feeling well the past few days. He came to my door over the weekend asking for some milk. I think he’s feeling better now.
Well, that’s all I got for now. Take care.

HI Ladies,
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! I had a post all ready to send & it disappeared!! That drives me NUTS!!!
It sounds like I need to send our weather out your way! While the rest of the country is baking, we’re damp & cool. We’ve been wet chilly for days now. We had a record breaking weekend with unrelenting rain! We had flood warnings in some of the rivers, creeks, & low lying areas. We’ve been in the 50s & 60s for days on end. We’re supposed to get up to the 70s the next couple of days, then back to damp & chilly for the weekend. We’re coming off the wettest spring on record & we still have next week. we should be closer to 80 by now. If I remember right we were in the throws of a heatwave last year, headed for the dreaded 116 degrees. I haven’t heard any skuttle butt about another one this summer. I know everyone is TIRED of the damp/chilly weather!!
One good thing the wildfire season hasn’t started yet. It was in extreme fire danger this time last yr.
Adele, I’m glad to hear Gary is home, feeling better, & I hope you as well.
Are any of you watching the Jan. 6 hearings, well the first one anyway? It’s on too early for me with the time difference. I see & hear clips of the highlights on the news. Finally the truth is coming out! I doubt anything will come of it though.
Well that’s all for tonight. Take care, stay well & stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
This weekend looks more like March/April. It’s wet/soggy, & cold here. It’s depressing!! We just had a couple lovely days & of course the rain returns for the weekend. Arrrrrrrrrrrrg!!!
Not much going on out here except for the nasty weather. I’m working on decorating for summer, but am having a difficult time.
I have an old movie on the tube. Murder on the Nile from 1978. Granted it’s not that old. I just like the older movies.
Adele, that’s a gorgeous lamp on the stand. Wow!! I’ll keep you guys in my prayers.
Gail, I’ll keep you & your family in my prayers as well. What kind of work does Adam do? Is it a family owned business? A lot of small businesses here no longer exist due to the pandemic!!
Well, that’s all for tonight.
Take care, stay safe.
