Oh, I saw the eye Dr. on Wednesday. I am on drops and oral antibiotics. He said if the styes aren't gone in 2 weeks that they will cut them out.
I wanted to wait and see if the meds made a difference before I booked a follow-up, but it looks like I am headed for a date with the scalpel.
Sometimes it is better to just bite the bullet and get it over with

If I could convince John to give up meat so I wouldn't have to make 2 meals, there would never be meat in the house again. My sister is the same way.

After a nice morning and early afternoon Friday all heck broke loose with storms, but yesterday was a very nice day and today is shaping up to be even nicer.
I am glad you have had some good weather this weekend, Heidi. Sounds like you were due!

Hello DDA
Hal and I went to a wedding yesterday. It was for Guenna's DH's brother. It was short and sweet.
Hal and I outside right after the wedding. A little windy!!
The wedding party. From left to right. Guenna, Bill who is Chris' brother, his new bride, Kristen and Chris. In front, Nicholas and also Alex who is Kristen's son.
I had planned to take more pictures at the reception, but as soon as I stepped inside the private club, I could tell there was a lot of smoking going on. I tried but could only last 15 minutes. I had to go home before enjoying any more. I was really bummed out. Guenna had told me that only the bar would have smoking but it spilled out into the dining room.

TAMPA, Fla. Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon, has died. He was 50.
Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.
There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play, said Lt. Brian Dugan of the Tampa Police Department, who wouldn't answer any more questions about how Mays' body was found because of the ongoing investigation. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, told investigators that her husband had complained he didn't feel well before he went to bed some time after 10 p.m. Saturday night, Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said.
"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days," Deborah Mays said in a statement Sunday. "Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."
U.S. Airways confirmed Sunday that Mays was among the passengers on a flight that made a rough landing on Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, leaving debris on the runway after apparently blowing its front tires.
Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.
"All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping," MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. "It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."
McElroy said linking Mays' death to the rough landing Saturday afternoon would "purely be speculation." She said Mays' family members didn't report any health issues with the pitchman, but they said he was due to have hip replacement surgery in the coming weeks.
Born William Mays in McKees Rocks, Pa., on July 20, 1958, Mays developed his style demonstrating knives, mops and other "as seen on TV" gadgets on Atlantic City's boardwalk. For years he worked as a hired gun on the state fair and home show circuits, attracting crowds with his booming voice and genial manner.
After meeting Orange Glo International founder Max Appel at a home show in Pittsburgh in the mid-1990s, Mays was recruited to demonstrate the environmentally friendly line of cleaning products on the St. Petersburg-based Home Shopping Network.
Commercials and informercials followed, anchored by the high-energy Mays showing how it's done while tossing out kitschy phrases like, "Long live your laundry!"
Recently he's been seen on commercials for a wide variety of products and is featured on the reality TV show "Pitchmen" on the Discovery Channel, which follows Mays and Anthony Sullivan in their marketing jobs. He's also been seen in ESPN ads.
His ubiquitousness and thumbs-up, in-your-face pitches won Mays plenty of fans. People line up at his personal appearances for autographed color glossies, and strangers stop him in airports to chat about the products.
"I enjoy what I do," Mays told The Associated Press in a 2002 interview. "I think it shows."
Mays liked to tell the story of giving bottles of OxiClean to the 300 guests at his wedding, and doing his ad spiel ("powered by the air we breathe!") on the dance floor at the reception. Visitors to his house typically got bottles of cleaner and housekeeping tips.
As part of "Pitchmen," Mays and Sullivan showed viewers new gadgets such as the Impact Gel shoe insert; the Tool Band-it, a magnetized armband that holds tools; and the Soft Buns portable seat cushion.
"One of the things that we hope to do with 'Pitchmen' is to give people an appreciation of what we do," Mays told The Tampa Tribune in an interview in April. "I don't take on a product unless I believe in it. I use everything that I sell."
Discovery Channel spokeswoman Elizabeth Hillman released a statement Sunday extending sympathy to the Mays family.
"Everyone that knows him was aware of his larger-than-life personality, generosity and warmth," Hillman's statement said. "Billy was a pioneer in his field and helped many people fulfill their dreams. He will be greatly missed as a loyal and compassionate friend."

FYI, Becky - it just took SEVEN minutes for the post above to "load" on the page. It is not just you having trouble.
The DIS is running slow for me. But what is happening for some odd reason recently I can not stay logged into the DIS. So I log in to type a post, by the time I try to post it, I am logged off and then it gives me an error that I need to hit the back button and try logging in again.
What I have started doing is typing my reply in open office, cutting this and then logging in and quickly posting it so that I do not have the log off issue.
