Hi Ladies,
We had a lovely day today but the rain returns for a couple days, then gets down right hot over the weekend!! Mother’s Day looks like 86 right now.
Barbara, I’m glad you had face time with the baby. they always cheer you up. I know you’re concerned about your son, & future dil, but they’re adults now & they have to learn from their mistakes. Not having kids myself, I can’t put myself in anyone else’s shoes. I know kids have to make their own mistakes, & hopefully learn from them. Hindsight is always 20/20. None of us has a crystal ball to see into the future, but then again we probably wouldn’t want to see the future. I’m probably not making any sense. I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings. Big hugs!!
I don’t like those cold shoulder tops at all. I prefer my shoulders warm, not cold. they look unfinished to me. I don’t watch SG, she talks too much, too fast.Aren’t I awful?! I don’t hate any of them, they just get on my nerves. is there any of the hosts or presenters that get on your nerves or is it me?

Adele, if you go to FB & put in my name, all you have to look for is my furry friend as she’s my profile pic. Just like my profile pic on my page on here. I sent you a friend request so hopefully it came thru. I think my FB page also says, Portland, Or. And I’ll get on my broom & fly out for the strawberry b/day cake. Never had it. I’ve had strawberry shortcake, since where I grew up there were lots of strawberry fields/farms. Kids used to pick berries every summer for school clothes.
Speaking of cities/towns, Gail, no I’ve never lived in Albany, NY. I was referring to Albany, Or., sorry. I went to NYC a few times back in the 80s, but that’s as close to the East coast as I’ve gotten. lol. I’m a native Oregonian. I did live in Ca. just after high school. I lived with my sister & nephew back in the late 60s early 70s. We lived in a suburb of Sacramento, in Roseville back then. We moved back to Oregon so I could go to beauty school.
I’m glad everyone enjoys the pics.
Sue, I sent a friend request to you, too so I hope it went thru.
It’s getting late so I’ll sign off for now.

Hi Ladies,
I found an interesting article on my google app today about David Veneble. I wanted to forward it to all of you but I couldn’t. But I did find out a website you can go to. Goodhousekeeping.com is the website. I sent it to my ‘FB page but since no one has a FB page I couldn’t forward it.

LOL, Adele, when I refer to Wally’s, that is WalMart. Wish your mom a Happy 92nd birthday for me. Having a party for her?

Barbara, I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad right now. Sending big hugs out to you. and don’t feel you can’t vent on here when you need to. That’s what we’re here for, a shoulder to cry on.
that’s all for tonight.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
How’s everybody’s Sunday going? I have Philosophy on right now. I was a bad girl this morning & ordered the new HP computer, in Rose gold. I debated for quite sometime, as my computer is acting up. I can’t play Q2 or any video that comes thru my FB page. It says something about the network not cooperating. I don’t understand as it worked for all this time up until a few months ago. So I’m hoping the new one will allow me to play Q2 or the videos I get occasionally. I went back to my account, & I couldn’t find when I got this one. It goes back as far as 2016 & no further. I just noticed the battery was at 60 per cent, & it’s plugged in, so maybe it’s a good thing I’m getting a new one.
Adele, it sounds like the squirrel was in hog heaven with those nuts you put out there. I’m glad you enjoyed the pics of the birds & nest. Nature is so interesting to watch. What cha think of the volcano in Hawaii. I can’t believe someone would be SO STUPID as to go to within 10 ft of that thing erupting!!!
The closest I wanna be is watching it on TV.
I’m recouping from my big day yesterday. I went out to Wally’s & did some shopping. It’s not so bad getting there, it’s the trip home that can be tiring.
I’m glad to hear your moms are doing well. It’s encouraging to see them do well.
It’s pretty boring out here.
Have a great week!!

Hi Ladies,
FINALLY!!! My Philosophy came today, & it was the regular guy this time!! Yay! Boy that big bottle is huge!! I won’t run out any time soon, that’s for sure.
Adele, I enjoyed your stories about the birds. the one about the robin reminded me of when I was living back in Albany. I was staying with someone & there was a robin’s nest under the eves of the patio. When she’d see me standing at the patio door I could see her freeze up. But we didn’t bother her. She left after her brood left the nest.
I almost choked when I saw how much it was going to cost you for that wall! All I can say is WOW!!
Well, that’s all I got for tonight.
Have a grrrrrrrrrrrreat weekend.

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for the kind words about my pkg. I did call the Q customer service & told the lady what was going on. She said if I don’t get it by closing of business Friday, to call back & they’ll send another set. I forgot last winter I ordered a set of 3 throws that never got to Portland, so I called & they sent another set, which I got. Keeping my fingers crossed it comes tomorrow.

I’m glad I didn’t offend anyone about the weight loss post. If you break down the word it comes out ‘die-it’. that’s not a word we need in our vocabulary. My Dr. told me I could eat all the chocolate chips I want as long as they aren’t in cookies. lol. I think a lot of our issues comes from our childhood. My grandma & mom both used lard for cooking, frying, baking, either that or bacon grease. and with the discovery of high fructose corn syrup, added to everything that didn’t help any. Growing up I was a string bean, till about the age of 40, then I slowly started gaining weight. I’d been so skinny for so many yrs, I was tickled I was putting on some weight. My family made fun of me when I was so skinny. My bones could kill somebody they said. My hip bone were weapons, as well as my shoulders, & knuckles. So, I think some of it comes from our genes.
Our weather has been really nice this week. We had milky sunshine with high clouds, then bigger clouds came in. Next week we’ll be in the 80s again.

Oh, before I forget, if I don’t get back on here, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all of you ladies. Any special plans? Have a wonderful day whatever you do.

Hey Adele, are you rooting for the Boston Celtics in the basketball playoffs? I watched the game tonight & saw them come from 22 pts down to win the game.
My favorite detective is back, Sherlock Holmes, Elementary. I was wondering what happened to it. I have all the Basil Rathbone Sherlock movies on DVD.
Well, that’s all for now.

Hi Ladies,
You would not believe the odyssey I’ve been thru trying to get the Philosophy I ordered!!! Apparently UPS delivered it over the weekend, but it said I wasn’t home. I was!! I checked the tracking # & it said it was dropped off at an address I have no idea where it is. I tried looking it up on the computer, & all I could find was an empty bldg. So I called UPS to find out what’s going on. the lady I talked to took my info & told me it would be redelivered to my address today. Well, here I sit all day long & guess what? No delivery. I rechecked the status & is says it was delivered. It says “delivered’, but not to me!!! I called UPS again, & this gal told me it would be delivered Friday!!! They must have a new driver, cuz the one that normally delivers brings it to my door & knocks on the door, so I know the pkg is there. I told the ladies I’m elderly & house bound, & can’t get around. We’ll see if it actually gets delivered on Friday!!! If you hear an explosion out here, you’ll know who it is!! I left some parts of the odyssey out, but you get the drift.
I had to blow off some steam. I better go get dinner.

Hi Ladies,
I started a post last night, then POOF it was gone & I had to sign in again.. I wonder what’s going on with this site sometimes.
Anyway, I didn’t read all your posts, but I did want to address something. We need to remove the word “diet” from our vocabulary. What we need to do is change the way we think. Diets NEVER work!! Changing our eating habits need to change. I was so looking forward to the rehab cause I know they would help me do just that. At first I set my goal for 50 lbs., but I reconsidered & dropped it to 5-10 lbs. Setting it so high, wouldn’t work. When we learn to walk we start out with baby steps, obviously. So for weight loss we need to start out low then go from there. It takes time to lose it, after all we didn’t put it on overnight. Don’t get discouraged when someone makes hurtful comments. Bask in your successes, & don’t let anyone get to you.

It sounds like the weather we had last week has made its way to the East coast this week. and it’s gonna be nice out here this week. The clouds are gone & the sun is out. It’ll be so nice to go shopping tomorrow.
Colleen, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! I hope you guys have a wonderful celebration.
I’ll have to go back & read your posts so I can respond to them.
I put several things in my cart from the QF show yesterday. sigh.
Take care everybody.

Hi Ladies,

Hi Ladies,
Adele, I’m glad Gary’s feeling so much better now. and glad to hear the bleeding has stopped. Whatever it was it sure cleaned him out. Have you considered going to your Dr. to find out what’s going on with you? Maybe he/she could recommend something.
Well, the weather here turned on a dime yesterday. It was 86 Thurs. & dropped into the 50s yesterday. that’s spring in Oregon for ya. Whiplash weather. lol. Warm weather is due back next week.

Nothing on the Q today. Usually I have it on in the background just for noise.
Sounds like you guys have actors in training. Hope they all succeed in their pursuits. I bet they’re cute in their costumes.

I never was a big fan of Bill Cosby. I worked swing shift so I never did see the show. Back then we could only tape one show at a time.
I can’t think of anything else, so I’ll sign off for now.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
