After dinner tonight, we stopped by my moms house. Hit the motherload of pictures. Have to go through them so V can scan the "good" ones!

Was the hockey game that bad????

No it was fun this was boring

We got home late tonight. We stayed in SB and had dinner with my Auntie at chili's. I have to say it was the best meal I've had there. I am so proud of myself. I planned in advance on what I was going to have, and I stuck with it. I knew the points of what I wanted.and some of the points are I had the Guiltless Carne Asada Steak. I added black beans and rice. And it was only 13-14 points.(chili's has the nutritional values .pdf on the web site. )

I'm so proud of you. I need to plan ahead more.

 

[gaylean93]

Ok and now your gone. Was that a drive by or what.

Well ya after no one was here

Holly, great news about booking the trip. Looking forward to seeing you on the 7th!!

Hi All....I'm up for a bit again. John will be home soon with KFC dinner. We're trying the boxes for the first time. Sorry Bubba. I've been pretty good this week food wise....since I spend so much time lying down, I don't eat anything anymore. Dinner tonight will be the first thing I've eaten all day....so I can afford some calories.

I have a grand announcement to make......dadadadum.....for the first time in many months.....John does NOT have to wrap a new dressing on my leg. Both legs are dry. YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! It took a week of lying down to get them this way. I'm up to 6 hrs a day......in many intervals......and I'm stopping there.....actually, it takes 24 hrs to do the 6 lying down so that's enough......but it is working. The swelling, or edema, is down by 50% in both legs. It may take another week to get them back to normal size, but we're moving in the right direction and have stopped the leaking!!! I'm still taking antibiotics so this infection should go away and the wounds can finally heal. I'm so relieved.

Just wanted to share this great news with all of you. John just got home and I'm going to eat some dinner.

That is fantatic news Deb. Well worth the discomfort of lying on your front for hours on end.

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As all men will.)

Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her, 'I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00 only on one condition...'

Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, 'You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words.'

The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly removed a $20.00 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly and meaningfully said....

'Clean my house.'

That would be me!!!

We still have a little snow, but we are supposed to get to 60 degrees on Sunday!!

I don't know if you guys know this or not, but about 20 years ago I took an illegal person. She had snuck into the USA from Trinadad. She was 15 years old and had been abused by her Uncle (that is who she was staying with here in the USA)

Daniel was a baby....she moved in with us and we home schooled her enough to pass the GED. We went to laywers and started all the processes to make her legal. (She did after 10 years get green card and just 3 months ago became a citizen of the USA) We let her friends come live with us on and off. She applied to George Mason University and got in. She got her 4 year degree in 6 years. She is now 1/2 though her masters. At 25, she met the man of her dreams and they married and moved in with us. They saved money and bought a house. Sold that house at the height of the housing market and made $200,000 and bought a single family home. They had a little girl.

We love Maryann...she is like our daughter. She calls me mom and her daughter call me Grandma. She has a mom and dad in poverty in Trinadad. We send them money and things...to help them....

Well I bought Maryann's mom an airplane ticket to come here! She arrives tomorrow!! Maryann is about the have her 2nd child, a son. Her mom really needs to be here with her and I am so happy I can help!

We have a baby shower for her tomorrow....baby should be here soon!!

How fantastic!

MARILYN....

So, not only did our pathetic country close down this week because of the snow, we are just about out of salt and grit, so they are only gritting very main roads. It is treacherous out.

Our council have not cleared the roads around us and it is 4" solid ice, and the footpaths are thick ice too. We walked(very carefully) into town yesterday and saw one older man with a walking stick fall over(he was ok), and another very elderly man with a stick trying to make his was down a footpath. A younger person went to help him. It really is very bad. People have to get out. I am so cross about it.

Quiet night!!! Was everybody tired?

Marilyn,

It's really not very different from many states here that are not used to snow and are unprepared for it.

Most of the states (and provinces) in the snow belt know that this is going to happen every year, and usually are well prepared.

By the way, I still have 90 pound of ice melt stashed away.

 

[iankh]

It's 45F right now!

When I let the dogs out a few minutes ago, I was out on the front porch with in just my lounge stuff.

As predicted the mess is starting. Lake Eastwood is already forming at the bottom of our front stairs

Really I know. I think it is just that the council hasn't cleared footpaths and local roads and I don't like to think of people having accidents. We haven't needed much salt/grit for quite a few years. I can see all the councils getting enormous stocks in for next winter and there being no snow!!! Can't win.

We did actually have a gritter lorry along our road one day - but the gritter was turned off!!!

Experts are saying this is a cyclical thing for the UK and we can expect a few cold winters now. Noting to do with global warming etc. We shall see.
