Sending lots of pixie dust this morning to Mr. and Mrs. Bets (@betty rose) . Hope all goes smoothly with the surgery today.

Thank you, all the well wishes did wonders, he's home and found a way to sit, so the stent doesn't hurt too much.

On a slightly happy note I think I may have found a bathing suit online. Halter top swim dress Now red and white polka dot or black and white polka dot?

Red and white would be very Minnie Mouse like, but black and white is kind of classic...I'd probably go for the red myself.

Thanks, I think my puppy knows I'm not feeling well. She's a sweetie.

Aww....they usually do sense those things. When I was in high school, we had a dog and whenever I was having a bad day, he'd come and snuggle with me. He could just sense that I needed him. I miss him so much.

Thanks! It's sad because today is Kings Day and we came to my in-laws' because their town has games for kids right around the corner from their house...things like kicking a soccer ball through a hole and you get points depending on how big the hole was. Or a game where you have to balance on a thing that rocks from side to side and you have to put marbles on little poles and keep them there until all of the little poles have a marble. Then at the end of the morning, they get to pick out a prize. But because of the weather, it was canceled...so we rushed and drove over only to find it canceled.

I'm sorry you had the event cancelled. So disappointing for the family. I hope they can reschedule.

My pain is subsiding but I am definitively going to see the doc. My sore troat was probably caused by acid reflux and not snoring.
Because I now have flu-like symptoms. I have this illness every year.
Also I think I know what happened now.
I have a round vibrating clock ( I'm 99% deaf when I remove my implant processor).. that thing is rounded shell of hard plastic.
Now I remember waking up and had the clock next to my side pillow.
So what I think happened was...

1. woke up at night thanks to the acid reflux or snoring troat pain.
2. Remove clock from head pillow's back... and check clock (was still early)
3. drowsily set the clock on my chest.
4. flip to the side... the clock now fell on my lower chest.. I flip to the left and I am now pressing hard the clock on my chest.
5. Wake up.. clock still next to me and my chest hurts...

Anyway, will use the excuse to get a full check up and order some chinese food

I hope you start feeling better and soon.

Actually, the lake has been more full than this (flooded) many times over the 40 years we've lived here and we've still had droughts with very low lake levels, in between. But, this should hold for a while.
We had even more storms move through early this morning (3a-ish). There were a coupla' branches down in the front yard when I went to work. Not sure how much rain fell upstream, though.

Sorry about your trees. I hate when weather messes with the landscaping.

AK is going to be open until 11pm for you. Are you planning any late nights there?

Where are you finding later hours? I just looked up the park hours on the Disney site and it still gives a 5pm closing time for Animal Kingdom during our trip.

 

[betty rose]

It is appreciated. My Sis is out of surgery and I guess it went well however it was more extensive than they had anticipated and had to do more. Wonder what that will do with her overly ambitious allotted recovery time?

Then to add to the drama of yesterday my niece, my Sis' DD that school is in the middle of nowhere in NY was transported again to the hospital yesterday evening after harpooning herself with an EpiPen again for an allergic reaction to apples like my DD and @StarWarsGirl have. So both my Sis and Niece being admitted to hospital in different states.

Me up for 3 hours during the night because I was like Phoebe on Friends wanting to take a hammer to the STUPID smoke detector.

Oh, my; more prayers and pixie dust for all the family.

Thanks!
Just glad nothin' hit the roof...!

 

[betty rose]

OK-I'll share @figmentfan423 stock pot with you.

I'll wait my turn, as I'm hoping that the snow won't last long!

Nope, they can't. Kings Day is a national holiday...almost everyone is free and there's no school. So no way to reschedule the event. It was disappointing, but it worked out, and they'll have the event next year.

 

[betty rose]

You're welcome. Palm trees make me happy.

Me too, I'll never forget going on my first trip to Florida for our honeymoon. I was in awe of the Palm trees. Loved seeing them sway in the wind.

They apparently closed the University of Wyoming down the other day...they got the snow, too, but somehow it caused a fire...I think the weight of the snow snapped a power line or something and almost the entire university was without power....so everything was shut down. My brother works at the university...guess he got a day off!

What did the girl think when your mom went to pick up the car? How did she handle it?

We're going to get it over the weekend. She parks it on the street in front of her house so it will be easy to get my mom has a set of keys. She sleeps to noon on the weekends so no muss no fuss, we'll be nice and leave a voice mail and drop it off to be rekeyed so the brat doesn't try and take it back

They are such good companions, I miss all the doggies I have had. So many different personalities. All so good.

They've been extended for Betty's trip window. We should have ours supposedly May 20th.

I'm glad to hear everything worked out. Better luck next year!

Smart! Does she know you're coming?

Nobody does except me and my mom

We had many trees down in our neighborhood, this is going to be another heavy wet snow. I always hope we keep the power on.
