Hi Ladies,
I’m sorry about Jenny. Tell her the flu shots DON’T prevent all flu. There are so many different ones the shot can’t prevent all of em. It isn’t her fault.
I got mine in Nov. & a few days later I caught something.
Gail, you should get some cough syrup with a suppressant so you can sleep at night, or get a prescription from your Dr that will squash that cough. It took me quite awhile to get over mine.

Sue, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve lost so many friends lately. It’s hard when you lose one, but to lose three so soon it’s harder to wrap your head around it.
my condolences to you & a big quacker hug!!!

Adele, how is Amanda? Losing that much weight seems strange to me. was she trying to lose it? Her Dr. should be concerned about it if she wasn’t. I wish I could lose that much, but I want to lose it in such a way I have control of it.

I see there are a couple QF shows tomorrow(?). Check your listings.
We were dry Wed.& most of today, but the rain has returned. Of course it has to return for payday.

Oh did I tell you that our University of Oregon’s mascot is the duck? Yeah, the sports teams, football, basketball, are the Oregon Ducks. So quack quack
Well, that’s all for tonight.
I hope you’re all safe. I saw on the news about all those storms. Take care.

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note to let ya know I’m okay. We’re coming off the wettest Feb. on record, over 10 inches of rain!! It’s cloudy but no rain today.
March in like a lamb, out like a lion. LOL. It happened that way a few yrs ago. No snow, just stormy at the end of March.

Sending some funnies so you can get a good laugh. Sounds like you could use a good laugh.

Take care & stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
Did any of you catch the end of the Oscars last night when they went to announce the best movie? Talk about a HUGE blunder!!! I thought it was some kind of a joke at first. But come to find out it wasn’t!!! In case you haven’t heard, they announced to wrong movie as the winner.

Adele, why would any Dr write a note telling her to stay out of work for a week with mono??? the dr should have their license pulled!! I never heard of such a thing. I’ve never had mono but I know you’re ill for several weeks.
You lost me when you spoke about serving on the streets of Manchester by the Sea, where you worked over 30 yrs. (Did that come out right??)!

I hope the baby is feeling better now.
Speaking of babies, the little Iranian baby has had the surgery she needed & is now healing. She’s the one I spoke about last month that wasn’t allowed into the country due to the executive order to refuse foreigners in. I was ready to blow a gasket over that!!! But she was allowed in after all.

We are having the strangest weather out here. snow is still around & not just in the higher elevations. Seattle was having snow, thunder snow & all kinds of nasty weather. They don’t get snow this late in the yr, just like us. some areas around here are still seeing snow flakes but I haven’t seen any. It just doesn’t seem to get any warmer.
I guess that’s it for now.
talk to ya later.

Hi Ladies,
I hope you’re having a great weekend. It’s sunny here today. Not warm, but sunny nonetheless. Rain is returning overnight. Not the heavy stuff we had a week or so ago.
Did y’all catch the last QF show last night with Angel & Antonella?? Angel was getting rummy & Antonella was her usual boisterous self. Did you catch the shirt with the ‘little yellow duck” all decked out? It went like a snap. I hope they bring it back when I can afford to get one. They sure had a lot of tops I’d love to have!!! Maybe I’ll get a pair of those pedal pushers when I can afford it. (should I live that long, lol).

No nothing happened with the computer. If this battery was dangerous I’d have gotten a replacement for it at no charge. For the most part I don’t use the battery. I plug it into the wall & use it that way.
Adele, I’m sorry if I ruined it for you with This Is Us the other day! I didn’t mean to ruin it for ya.
I have a hankering for some chocolate chip cookies, so I think I’ll sign off & go make a batch.

Take care

Hi Ladies,
Well, we dodged a bullet, the snow didn’t show up here. It probably did in the Cascade Mts, but not down here. Whew. It wouldn’t have been much anyway, they said. I’ll just be overjoyed when it’s all over with!!! It has been a crazy winter all around.
The dam you’re referring to Barbara, is the Oroville dam. I don’t know the exact location of it tho. I hope they have it under control. I heard they were going to fly boulders by helicopter & place them so as to control the water. I don’t know if it worked out or not.

I got a surprise in the mail this week. It was a recall notice from QVC. I bought my HP computer from the Q back in 2013 & the recall is about the battery inside the computer. They sent a list of the ID numbers but so far mine isn’t on the list. I’ve never gotten a recall notice from the Q before.
Is anybody going to watch the Oscars Sunday night? I don’t bother anymore. I don’t see any of the movies anyway so why bother. Besides I don’t know any of the stars.
Have a great weekend girls.

Hi Ladies,
Well, I’m gonna try this again. I lost my first post to the gremlins. You’re not gonna believe this but we are supposed to get snow flurries tonight into tomorrow AM!!! We are DONE with this winter!!! We should be in the low to mid 50s by this time of the month. We’re still in the low 40s for highs. We also
broke the record for rain for the month. Our record for 13 inches of rain came in 1996 when we had a pineapple express come thru, we got over 7 inches of rain in 4 days, causing major flooding. It held until earlier this week. The difference is the rain has been over a longer period of time this time. We could use some of that warm weather out here so we could dry out!!!

Adele, Adele, Adele, I almost slid off my sofa when I read your post about the straw! I’m not a farm girl but I knew she was referring to hay. LOL too funny!!
Did you cry at the end of This Is Us this week? We had to know it was coming, tho.

Gail, I’m so sorry to hear about your fish. I thought they were hibernating at the bottom & would resurface when the weather warmed up. It’s a terrible loss for you. Could you put some kind of screening over the hole? A fine gauge screening like we used to have on our screen doors growing up? I know its too late now, but for in the future? Something small enough that no critter could get thru. All I know about minks is people used to raise them for coats but that ended yrs ago, I’m sure.

That chocolate pie sounds delish. I should make myself one soon. You’re right, life is short, eat dessert first, yummm!!
I went to my cardiologist yesterday. I haven’t seen him in quite awhile. He’s set me up for a stress test & echocardiogram for March 10th. Not fun.

Are you guys watching the QF TSV tonight? I’d love to get a pair or 2, but not this time. I wish they had more colors, but I guess they have to put out a few to see how well they’ll sell before adding more colors. sigh.
Well, I better end this before I lose it again!
Enjoy QF

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is well. We had another day of off & on showers today. No big downpours, whew.
I forgot to tell ya I posted a couple questions to Angel on her FB page a few days ago & imagine my surprise when I got replies to both! I asked her if they ever did a mountain scene with a cabin, stream, & trees. I know they do a lot of nautical, but I don’t remember anything with a mountain, or a camping theme on a top. she wrote back & said she’d forward my idea to the artists. So maybe they’ll do one sometime. And then I asked her what happens to the clothes, shoes, etc that the models wear, do they get to keep em or what? She wrote back that they don’t get to keep what they model, it goes back to the warehouse for another show.
Did any of you get the TSV Denim & co capris? I want the apple red ones so bad!! They look so comfortable. and the top that goes with is nice too. They have so many cute things too.
Adele, what flavor of cheesecakes did you make? I get those minis they have on QVC during the holiday seasons. I love the strawberry swirl & the chocolate layered one. You can make me cheesecakes anytime. I found a recipe on my FB newsfeed. You add a package of StoveTop stuffing to your hamburger, add egg, water mix & it makes a delicious meatloaf. Oh add mashed potatoes, with gravy, & veggies, & you got a delicious meal. I think so anyway. I just made myself hungry!!!
Guess I better go fix dinner.
Have a great Sunday.

Hi Ladies,
We got a reprieve from the rain today, but the rain is returning over night. I hope it won’t be as bad as it was this week.. We need several days without rain for the flooding to recede.

That recipe for corned beef & cabbage sounds wonderful. It’s way too much for one person. Maybe I could fix it for me & my neighbors.
Not much to write about tonight so I’m gonna sign off till next time.
Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.
Have a great weekend!

Sam Elliott is the guy in the pic with Tom. I couldn’t think of it till I looked at the pic. ding, ding, ding.
