Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's been a long night. My sister in Seattle called about 10:30 last night and said that my niece was really dizzy. She has had spells before and the doctors always said that it was because of the pain from the arthritis but then she started complaining about her chest hurting really bad. So my sister called the doctor and he said to take her in to the ER at the children's hospital. On the way to the ER my niece started complaining that she couldn't remember things. The ER did a EKG and a CT scan and they both came back ok. She was still having a hard time remembering things though and her blood pressure kept dropping every time she would stand up. So they called a neurologist in. The neurologist is thinking it's a migraine but admitted her and wants to do an MRI later this morning. So I've been up most of the night waiting on phone calls and worrying. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY or at least better than my day!!!!!!!!

O made sorry to hear that. maybe her head was spinning cause her bp was going down. hopefully they will get to the sourse of it. Is she on tablets ???
As i have found that tablets that dont agree with me i wood go like that but leaves me after a while

Good Morning, Super Sunday Citizens!

Rise, Shine and just drink in the daily count:
Days to the Season: 247
Days to Christmas Day: 289
Barely over HALF a single week left until we arrive at Milestone #3 of 2012, the 1/3 marker to the Season.
Wowataski!

Downright cold here compared to recent morning temps.
We stand at 36 degrees here in central NC but under fair skies and with the promise of MUCH warmer weather just around the corner.
<< Good, Crown. I am SO ready for Spring >>

And with that comfortable thought, I'll be having a Super Sunday.
Will you?
(Through the magic of Christmas, the answer can only be YES!)

Good morning, friends! We had a beautiful day here yesterday and it was spent cleaning house and buying groceries. Today, it's gloomy with rain coming later! Then tomorrow, just in time for the work week, it's going to be 76 through Thursday. But Friday, when school is out for Spring Break...

more rain.

Ugh.

Made, we look good for today!

Good morning Christmas family

I just got a call from my sister. My brother-in-law has had another heart attack. He is in the hospital and they put in a stent. He was 100% blocked in one artery. I don't know what is going to happen as this is his second heart attack plus he just had serious surgery for an abdominal aortic anuerysm just last year. If you could, please pray for Wes. I am scared beyond belief, too scared at this point to feel anything else.

Thanks Christmas family. I will keep in touch xoxo

So sorry to hear that CM3, I will pray for Wes! Keep us updated.

put those clocks ahead an hour when you go to bed tonight!!!

Let's all move to Arizona so we don't have to do this.

Maureen said:
I just love it when your clocks change before ours!!!!!!! Now we're only 4 hours ahead of EST which means that for 2 weeks only, I'll catch the Greasy Skillet again. We don't switch until the 25th!!!

:???:

It will be great to see you in there again Maureen, even if it is only for a couple of weeks!

dude, do you ever stop going? you are one busy person. now let me ask you this...in the parade, do you do the "screwing in a light bulb" wave or the "cleaning a window" wave? the restored ford galaxy sounds awesome, what color is it & the vinyl top?

The car is a green that Ford used back then, and a black vinyl top. It still runs a little rough, but it went well.

Seawaters said:
Great questions, MerryMistletoe!

Actually, I've gotten pretty good at a standard wave showing the palm of my hand, but I finish with a quick index finger point to anyone who makes eye contact with me. And I'll throw in a wink if they are smiling, too!:-D

Just skip forward in your brain, Jennifer, to November 3rd when we can "fall back" AND be even closer to the Season!!!

That's right! We're now an hour closer to Christmas!!! :???:

Christmas-A-Holic · Mar 11, 2012

Made, please keep us posted. I hope she will be okay!

Maureen, it will be good to finally join you in, The Skillet!

Dawg, I give up. What is it???

Christmas-A-Holic · Mar 11, 2012

Daylight savings messed me up as usual. I just refused to set my alarm clock for church and slept in. I needed the sleep really bad! I go to work today so it's good that I got plenty of sleep. I can adjust quickly when the time falls back but takes me about a week to adjust to spring forward.

I hope you all have a Merry Day!
