Hi Ladies,
I was so mad last night I could’ve chewed nails(not fingernails). I wrote out a post only to lose it & had to sign in again. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
I’m glad to hear Barbara is okay. That’s a big relief. I’ve seen some of the clips on the news, & they look so terrifying.
I can’t remember what I wrote about last night, so it’ll come to me later, I’m sure.
I’m glad all of you enjoy the pics I post. If I repeat, just ignore it.
We had breaking news today. They identified that female found on the Ca. coast as one of the kids. It was Ciera Hart. Sooooo sad!!!

I got paperwork for the cardio rehab & it looks like they’ll help me lose some weight. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get recipes or something to get me on the right track. I’m going for 20 lbs to start out with, then go from there. I want to find out why I’m short of breath whenever I do something. They’ll no doubt put me on an exercise program.
I heard about the Boston marathon & the nasty weather they had to run in. I can’t believe how bad it is back there. Unbelievable!!!

Well, I guess that’s all for now
take care.

Hi Ladies,
Colleen, I’m sorry to hear about your Mother having a stroke. I hope she’s doing better now. I hope they were able to get her blood pressure down. Yes, we’ll all be praying for her & you.
Adele, what’s with the potato soup thing. I’ve never had potato soup. I’ve had potatoes in stew but that’s about it. Is there a special way to make it? I’m hoping the nutritionist will be able to put me on the right track. Maybe they will have recipes or at least ideas for me. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Sue, I don’t think Jewell would scratch your eyes out. I still have mine. I keep her claws trimmed. She’d probably squirm till she got put down. I’ll give her pets & snuggle her for you. She snuggles with me when I take an afternoon nap.

We had a soggy Sunday here. Not very warm either. Rain stays thru Tues. then Wed. it’s supposed to start warming up into the 60s, maybe even 70!!! If we do you’ll hear me all the way out there.
Well that’s all for tonight.
Take care & have a good week.
dd & Jewell

take care.

Hi Adele,
No you didn’t depress me talking about Syria. I just don’t understand why they don’t take out that monster. I hope I didn’t upset you with the news from out here. You’re right about keeping the kids with family. The attorney who was overseeing the case for the family gave an interview to HLN or some news organization last week. She said she felt so bad when she got the horrible news. and like I said the mother of the kids just found out about it this week. The family says the kids were handed over to a pair of monsters. Makes my heart ache for them. I wonder if the judge was prejudiced against them as they are African American & so is the attorney for the family. It all happened in Texas. Just a thought. I have to wonder about some of the judges out there. giving lenient sentences to drunk drivers who kill families, etc. Infuriates me no end!! I’ll get off my soap box now.
You’re getting ANOTHER ice storm??? It’s mid APRIL!!!! what is going on?? We’re supposed to have a soggy weekend, but it hasn’t showed up yet. It’s cloudy, but the sun is peeking thru right now.
Maybe you need to get a pair of those readers they sell at drug stores or where ever. Couldn’t hurt to check em out. You wouldn’t have to go to the expense of an eye exam & expensive prescription lenses.
Psoriasis. I never thought of that. Thanks I’ll check it out.
I hope everyone is safe today. I haven’t heard anything today.
Kay is doing just fine, she’s so much better than she was!! She needs to gain some weight tho. I’d be more than happy to give her some of mine.
ITKWD is 5 hrs tomorrow. They have a barbeque grill for the TSV.
Well, that’s all for now.
Take care & stay warm!!

Hi Adele,
I’m sorry to hear about Tilly. I guess when you get up into your 80s or 90s you figure why bother. It’s a shame. It’s makes it hard on the family. How is the rash coming along. I hope it’s getting better. I have eczema & am having a hard time finding something to get rid of it. The Dr. prescribed an ointment, but the eczema doesn’t seem to be going away. I’ll have to see if he has something else he can prescribe for it.
More terrible news is coming out about that family. The driver was drunk, the wife & kids were drugged & probably asleep when it went over the cliff. Maybe that’s a good thing. If you can call it that. Every day they find out more bad stuff. the bio mother just found out about it this week. Turns out the aunt of the kids tried to adopt the kids & keep them with the bio family but a judge over ruled it.

Looks like we’re in for a rainy weekend. But there is sunshine at the end of the tunnel. Mid week next week it’s supposed to clear out & we’ll have sunshine starting Wed. We may actually see 60 again!! I know we had a 70 day last week but it’s seems so long ago.
Well, I guess I better go get dinner.
Have a great weekend.
I’m glad you enjoy the pics I post.

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. Not much going on here. Lots of rain, & chilly temps. Lots of snow in the mts, which is a good thing for the summer runoff. I’m okay. I came thisclose to ordering the NutriSystem TSV yesterday, but I didn’t have the $$. It’s so expensive!!! I’m hoping with the cardio rehab, I can lose some weight. Maybe it’ll help with the shortness of breath. I gotta lose some weight, & this is the first time I’ve ever set my mind to doing it. I’d like to lose 50 lbs, but I maybe setting myself up for failure if I set my goals too high. Maybe I should try for 20 lbs instead, & go from there.
More & more stuff is coming out about the Hart family (the ones who drove off the cliff in Ca.). Have you heard anything out there?
I took down the Easter décor yesterday & today. The apt looks kinda bare again. Not as bare as when I take down the Christmas décor tho. lol
That’s all for tonight.

Hi Adele,
I’m on the 12th floor so I’m waaay above the trees. I do hear the wind howling around the bldg. from time to time. No Jewell doesn’t hide during storms. We don’t get the awful storms you guys do. We got lots of rain yesterday, over an inch in most places. But luckily the storm blew thru overnight. It was cloudy all day today, but the sun did manage to pop out late in the day. It’s supposed to be 70 degrees on Monday, then it’s back to rain the rest of the week. Most likely showers.
Mahjong isn’t that hard to learn. All you have to do is Google it, it’ll take you to several sites of games. I go to 247 & it has several different games. All you do is click on matching tiles, till you eliminate all of the tiles. If I can learn it, anybody can. It isn’t all that hard.
I heard they authorities in Ca. will search again weather pending. My opinion is if you’re gonna commit suicide, fine, have at it. Just leave kids OUT of it!!!!Leave them some where safe & do what you’re gonna do.
I did watch ITKWD, with Mary. I missed some of it. I love the new dinnerware set by BlueJean chef. Beautiful colors!! Esp love the yellow. I was so disappointed when Tara discontinued her yellow bakeware, etc.
Did you hear David will be back Wed. with a 3 hr show, & next Sun. for a 5 hr show!!! As David would say, Buckle up kids it’s gonna be a wild ride. I love him & MCM together. Talk about a natural comedy team.
I guess I’ll be taking down my Easter décor this week. Last week just didn’t seem like Easter to me. This weekend seemed more like it for some reason.
There’s a QF 2 hr show tomorrow, Mon, at 10 AM your time. Enjoy.
Well, I guess that’s all my news for tonight.
Have a great week

Hi Ladies,
Yeah , I’m on the top floor, but they don’t have shingles up on the roof. I think they have tar up there. The bldg. is solid concrete, I feel safe & secure. I think they’re afraid of mudslides in the Gorge where the fire was. Trees will be uprooted all over, as well as power outages around the area. I’ve been verrrry lucky so far.
Yes Jewell gets a blanket when she gets her hair cut unless it’s June or July. She’s not spoiled or anything!!! LOL
Say, I’ve been meaning to ask if any of you play games on your devices? I found mahjong awhile back & it’s fun for passing time. I realize all of you have families, but I find it relaxing.
Did you hear the storm washed up a body along the Ca. coast where that van went over. I wonder if it’ll wash up the others.
Well that’s all for tonight.
dd & Jewell

Hi Ladies,
We’re in for a wild weekend weather wise. There’s a big wind storm on the horizon & we’re under high wind weather advisory from the national weather service. Could get lots of rain too. It was a yr ago we had a really bad wind storm. There was a lot of damage along the coast. Time to hibernate & stay cozy. It was 70 & lovely yesterday, the calm before the storm. Also the first day we’ve seen 70 this year.

It was good to hear from you Barbara. I’m sorry to hear about Jerry’s back. I know all too well how painful back pain is. I hurt my lower back yrs ago & I have to be careful I don’t reinjure it. Muscle relaxers do knock you out so the muscles can relax. I wonder if he laid on his side with his knees bent, like in a fetal position would help ease the pain. I hope he’s feeling better. Oh, it doesn’t take much to hurt your back. my back was killing me just this week, & I have no idea what I did. I took some Tylenol & it helped.
I’ll probably start taking the Easter decorations down pretty soon. It seemed tooo early this yr.
Oh, I heard from the cardio rehab yesterday. I’ll start with an orientation, then I’ll be evaluated for exercise program, have a one on one with a nutritionist, etc. Maybe they can help me lose some weight.
Well, that’s all for now.
Have a good weekend.
dd
PS: I’m sending a before & after of Jewell. She looks like two different cats. that’s why I postponed her grooming.
