Good morning. Calling for 85 and storms this afternoon. If they are right we'll have rain every day through Sunday and we need it badly.
@footballmouse Glad your tv and internet are working again, was it a minor fix? Good luck to your pup with the bad nail. Hope they can make him feel better.

Nothing new going on. Don has a doctor appt at 10 so I have to get moving.

Have a nice day.

Good Morning Everyone

prayers Footballmouse along with always YOU prayers, you know that. Please take care of yourself, my friend.

for your son's team, dear Pea. Thankful you have a kennel choice. Our family member's care is a precious peace of mind to have especially on a trip!

Lynn and doctor appointment prayers for Don, my friend.

PollyannaMom and many prayers that your son is feeling better this morning. Thinking of you!

Dad and I are soon off to Dollar Tree, Marshalls and possibly JC Penney. God willing, I will update this afternoon. Please think good Boost delivery thoughts for this afternoon! Thank you, dear friends. Have a blessed and happy Thursday!

@flyingdumbo127 Glad they can save the tooth. I found that 2 appts for a crown are not too much. My old dentist did the work needed to get ready for the crown and put on a temporary crown. Then 2 weeks later I had another appt to put on the permanent crown. Now my dentist can do it in one appt that takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. Alot of the time is waiting for the machine to make the crown so it is down time.

@Pea-n-Me Congrats to your DS and his team for a great season. Kennels are very different and you can tell which one you feel comfortable with. Always go with your gut.

I was in the office today. Most people in my group agree that August was a tough month for all of us. We all made mistakes and know it is because of all the changes. I am still mad at myself for one mistake I made which I have not done in the 15 years I have been doing this job but challenging times. We did get the check scanner working today so that was a win.

Kenny's court date yesterday was short. He was back by 10 am. Not so soon to be ex refuses to compromise so as of now they will be going to trial but not until mid 2024. Kenny is going to try to encourage her to talk and come to agreements before a judge tells them what to do. One good thing is that ex is moving back to Kenny's town. I think the main reason is her mother cannot drive the one hour to the new place when her daughter wants a babysitter. This town is only 30 minutes for her. But, whatever the reason, the kids will be back in the town they know and love. The judge even said he did not want the kids spending so much time in the car going between the 2 houses. Of course ex did not tell Kenny that she was moving back. She told the court.

Chris' cousin who has cancer called me last night. He has brain cancer, his 8th occurrence of cancer. It is on the dura which is a membrane around the brain. He will have 5 weeks of low dose radiation. I am concerned that his time is coming sooner rather than later. He has very little family as his ex turned the kids against him and his brother is hours away. He lives 3 hours away from Boston. I try to keep in touch with him and what is going on. Kenny has offered to be his health care proxy but our cousin hasn't said yes yet. HIs care is at Mass General. Please keep him in your prayers.

Have a good rest of the day. It is too hot to walk so taking a break day.

 

[PollyannaMom]

@Snowysmom, I need a mixed emoji to react to your post. I'm glad the kids will be closer, but sorry about your cousin.

DS is doing better than yesterday, but still not 100%. I hope he feels even better tomorrow.

 

[Snowysmom]

@PollyannaMom I hope your DS continues to feel better.

Snowysmom, a time when there are truly not many words I can think of only

PollyannaMomContinuing DS prayers, my friend.

Dad and I did get a few things this morning. I found a second pair of actually more supportive slippers at JC Penney. They were very expensive for us but after yesterday's dental charge they were super cheap! Waiting to hear from Dr. E. Dr. A kindly emailed me back already saying it was great to meet me yesterday, such a kind man. Thank you all so much, so very much, for your dental prayers. Snowysmom, I sincerely appreciate you always you know that, and your sharing your crown experience with me. One crown was back in 2009. My memory of that appointment was that they were definitely two longer ones. Of course, that was a long time ago. For me, the issue is opening at all for a longer time is not easy or a good idea. Which is why my 15–20-minute cleanings so often are perfect. I will definitely be talking with him and go from there. Just such a blessing that the tooth can be saved and overall, in a relatively simple way, too.

Boost came through early and with flying colors! We are so grateful. The delivery lady Rosalind was very prompt and friendly, great service. Waiting now for an expected Amazon and possibly Walmart package. Mail looks to be one solicitation

Have a good rest of the day everyone! Thinking of you with love.

Up early here. Unfortunately, a good day was followed by bad night.

 

[Snowysmom]

@PollyannaMom Sorry your DS is still not feeling well. Sending thoughts and prayers for a better day.

@flyingdumbo127 Not being able to keep your mouth open for long is an issue and it is nice that you have found a dentist who is willing to work with you.

Another hot day ahead but at least it will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday. It was 93 here yesterday. Jeff's kids had a half day of school due to the heat. I did not walk as the humidity and the heat were awful. I will try today. I am going to the condo to see the shades Kenny installed the other day and to clean some of the wood floors. Kenny tried out the washer and it worked well and he found out how to turn the water on and off. I usually keep it on unless I am traveling.

Off to work. Have a good day.

I’m in a bit of a fog today, was up much of the night.
Had an unexpected death in our family yesterday. Tough day.
Any extra prayers for him would be much appreciated.

 

[Riley mrn]

Sorry to hear that. My condolences.

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning

@Pea-n-Me So sorry for the unexpected loss

@PollyannaMom to your son still not feeling well

@Snowysmom for Kenny and the court date. It's so hard on everyone when it keeps getting dragged out. I'm glad the kids are back in the same town
@Riley mrn Welcome to our little thread

We got one brief storm yesterday morning, just as we walked out of the medical building. We were soaked by the time we got to the parking garage.

They are calling for storms this afternoon , but who knows if they will show up. Temps should be low to mid 80's.

I just finished laundry and swept the kitchen. I have a lot of things that need to be done, but most of them are outside, and I have to wait for cooler weather.

Have a great Friday!

Good Morning,

Checking NOAA hurricane center this morning for news on Hurricane Lee. I'm an alarmist when it comes to hurricanes so keep that in mind.

Anyway, this looks to me just like Hurricane Isabel from 2003. Hope I'm wrong!

It's far away right now but is at Category 5 this morning.

I hate when we lose electric as do most people. I no longer own a generator and have not followed up on installing a whole house system as it's been relatively quiet around here for quite a few years.

Hope all are doing well!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

extra to all of you in different ways, God, of course knows! Reminder He is forever with and beside each of you. Through Him, I absolutely care too!

 

[easyas123]

Good morning to you all. Not a whole lot to report, same old stuff going on. Work, up in tractor, hot, so on and so forth. No much planned this weekend. Might go out for breakfast Sunday. Hunting season has started, so we are adding that to our calendar juggle.
I've got some surprise late sunflowers popping up here and there in the fields which we can see from the porch, so that's nice to get a glimpse of. Hummingbird feeders are down and the barn swallows have made their way elsewhere. We were to get a new foster dog this weekend, but the owner made other arrangements last minute, something that happens often enough. I'm waiting to hear back from the guy I'm buying some firewood from, hopefully he can deliver it this weekend or next. Don't need it right away, I just like to get it stacked and put up...it's my late summer exercises/project I have these large three sided crates (for lack of a better descriptive term) that I like to stack the wood in, then I can lift if with the forks and store in the barn. When we need wood we can just pick up one of the crates w/ the forks and bring it down to the house. I suppose I ought to order a pallet of pellets as well.
Since I don't have much planned this weekend I may (finally) excavate my closet and thin things out again.

It's been a bit since we've had a QOTD, so I'll pose one regarding possibly going out to breakfast!

QOTD: Which do you prefer: going out for breakfast? Going out for lunch, or going out for dinner?
Me? I like them equally I suppose. I think we go out for breakfast or dinner more frequently than lunch.

Up early here. Unfortunately, a good day was followed by bad night.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your son has a easier go of it today & this evening.

I’m in a bit of a fog today, was up much of the night.
Had an unexpected death in our family yesterday. Tough day.
Any extra prayers for him would be much appreciated.

I'll keep you & yours in my thoughts. I was sorry to read this, I hope all is going well.

hey are calling for storms this afternoon , but who knows if they will show up. Temps should be low to mid 80's.

I sure hope they show up for us. We had the warnings yesterday, but no dice. We will see if we get them tonight or this weekend. Things are getting a bit dry around here, although we are also getting close to harvest time so decent, dry weather would be good. Double edged sword.

It's far away right now but is at Category 5 this morning.

I don't think it will be a issue for those of us in our area of the mid-atlantic, maybe up northern NE and the Nova Scotia area. Does look like a hell of a storm though, hope nobody gets walloped. By the way - I stopped at you favorite farm stand the other day (Ma&Pa's) and got some great tomatoes! We are having BLT's tonight I think!

Poor thing. Hope he feels much better very soon.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Easyas always good to see you my friend. Great QOTD, thanks for bringing it back. Pre Covid, I did enjoy dining out often especially for lunch, sometimes breakfast. Today, I am completely opposite and would rather eat at home

Tink thank you for your kind words and posting, too.
