Hi Gail, I looked up mastocytosis. Wow, I’ve never heard of such a thing. Poor Debbie, has she had this her whole life or is this a recent attack? I’ll be praying for her & all of you as well.

Colleen, I was talking about the duodenum. Have they tested for an ulcer there? It’s where the acid comes in. It burns the lining of the stomach causing pain & other symptoms. I think my sister had one many yrs ago. She was on a bland diet for a long time.
Have they tested for cilliac disease? Allergic to gluten in wheat, oats, & barley? Mary,of ITKWD has that. That’s why she can’t eat cookies, brownies, pasta, etc. There has to be something going on down there. I hope they figure it out!!!
Sending prayers to all.

Hi Ladies,
Not much on tv right now so I thought I’d write a few lines. I’m glad someone saw that dinosaur they had on the Q. I saw it when they had it on in July, I think it was. Rick was the host & I don’t remember the guys name who was presenting it, but I got such a kick out of watching those two, I don’t who was the bigger kid that night. I knew it’d be great for the grands.
I have those Thomas Pacconi ornaments too. I have the same problem of getting em back where they belong. I have several sets of them. I also have several of Christopher Radko ornaments. I wonder whatever became of those guys? They haven’t been on in yrs. I wonder if they went belly up.
Colleen, are you in a lot of pain? My cousin was recently in the hospital in excruciating pain. Turned out there was a problem between the stomach & the small intestine. Too much acid is created when the food leaves the stomach, going in to the small intestines, causing pain. Have the Drs looked into that?
It’s called the douodonum(?).

It’s still cooooooooooold out here. I had to go to the store today to pick up prescriptions. Luckily the wind had died down so it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was. I bundled up to the point I looked like the Michelin man, LOL.
It’s only gonna get worse over the weekend. But that’s better since people will be home from work & no school. Some schools have had to close all week cuz they got hit with ice & snow in the higher elevations earlier in the week. When the warmer air comes in it’ll be back to regular Oregon rain.
HOOOOOOOORAY!!!
those sides will be on Holiday gourmet for Easter & probably before that. They sure sound good. I got some a few yrs ago & they were good. I think I got the sweet potatoes, & dressing. I don’t remember the mac n cheese.
I guess that’s all for now.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! The COLD air has arrived & isn’t leaving anytime soon, they say. And when it does it’s gonna be a nasty transition over the weekend.
That means when the rain tries to come in it means possible freezing rain or snow. Either one is dangerous! IT’s snowing in other parts of the state, mostly the mts & upper elevations.
Oh Barbara, thank you for thinking I’m in my 20s. You’re sweet. No I haven’t been in my twenties since the 70s. I’ll be 67 next week.
Don’t feel like the Grinch because you put out simple decorations. Sometimes less is more! If you enjoy it that’s all that matters.
What was Neal studying for to be sent out to Napa, Ca.? It is beautiful there.

Was Debbie in an accident to have those injuries? That’s a shame she can’t communicate with us anymore. there should be some way she could
use a computer without bending her neck. That’s too bad. there’s the voice activated system they had on the Q. You hook it up to the computer & you talk to the computer & it types out what you’re saying. I can almost see the name of it but it isn’t coming. I hate that.

Gail, I got a kick out of your conversation with Piper. As Art Linkletter used to say, kids say the darndest things, & ask the darndest questions.

OK girls, who is Dave King? I don’t think I know who he is. Maybe I do & just don’t realize it. The name doesn’t ring any bells.
Now that I’ve taken down the tree, & stuff it’s bare & an echo chamber in here.
Well, that’s about it for now.
Stay warm

Hi Ladies,
Gail, the pics have nothing to do with you. It has to do with the size of the pic. You’ve seen some of mine do the same thing. It’s just the size of the pic & the space available. Not to worry.
I’ve started dismantling my decorations. I’m kinda depressed cuz it takes so long to put it up.
Adele, what are latkes? Potato pancakes? I’m gonna get an education yet, lol. I lived with a lady who lived in Missouri for yrs, & one day she asked me to fix some grits. Well, me being from out here didn’t know what grits were. (someone get the smelling salts, I think Adele & Colleen fainted). I know now, thanks to Virginia & ITKWD.
I heard on the news tonight the temps coming are the coldest since 1979 when we had back to back ice storms in ’78 & ’79.
Take care all.

Hi Ladies,
Well this will be my last post for 2016. I can’t believe it’s 2017 already! I never dreamed I’d live to see the year 2000 much less 2017!
Let’s hope & pray the new year will be better than 2016. Goooooood riddance, I say!!!
I went out to dinner with friends today. It’s one of my friends’ birthday & we always go out to dinner to celebrate it & mine coming up. I was on the bus on my way to meet up with them & it started snowing! /that was not in the forecast, that I know of. I thought, Oh great! Thankfully it didn’t last very long! Just some flurries.
The worst is yet to come later this week, & believe me I;m not going out in it for anything! I stocked up on what I needed for the week.
I;m sorry you didn’t get your BMW that you asked Santa for. Maybe next year!! I still didn’t get my check in the mail or a winning ticket. sigh

I’m signing off before I lose this post too. I lost 4 of em the other night. they went “poof”.
HAPPPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi Ladies,
I’m gonna try this for the 5th (!) time!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I did get out to my friend’s for Christmas dinner & had a wonderful time. They had the white elephant (?) gift exchange, & I ended up with a small back massager, & a few other gifts they gave me. I hope you all got what you wanted for Christmas. Me? I’m still waiting for that $10 million check in the mail or a winning lottery ticket. sigh.
Colleen, I got a chuckle out of your story about the Kitchen Aid wrapped up in a blanket. I kinda had a hunch he was up to something when he gave you the spiralizer before Christmas. Putting the cart before the horse, so to speak. Now I’m curious what color?

We’re preparing for an Arctic blast next week. No moisture for snow, just the bitter cold. I;m not looking forward to it!!
I’m gonna send this before it disappears. I’ve had 4 disappear already

Hi Adele,
It won’t take 2 hrs. It took 15 minutes if that. If the tech knows what he’s doing it should be a quick fix. I can’t imagine a tech wouldn’t know tho. He will tell you step by step what to do. Just make sure you tell Comcast you need technical help, that you’re having internet issues.
By the way, you can come here & bake for me any day!!!

Hi Ladies,
I just got an email from QF & the TSV is Dream Jeannes with 3 grommets on the bottom for $39.96. They have only a handful of colors.
I wrote to Angel about new colors for spring & she actually answered me. She wasn’t sure yet what colors they’re going to have.

I heard on the news that the weather across the country isn’t supposed to be nearly as bad as it has been the past couple weeks. Let’s HOPE so!!!
Christmas Day here is supposed to dry, no wind. Today we have fog. Weather whiplash is what I call it. Thank goodness no ice!!

I should get out to the store today since it’s decent. I’m going to a basketball game tonight with a friend.
Have a great day.

PS Have you seen this new set of bakeware from Temp-tations? They showed up on my FB page.
