The more the merrier! Then we could start a crochet thread!

That's a great idea!

We keep missing each other on here, I tend to miss a lot of post. I hope all is well with you!

We were up all night. She is finally resting, thankfully. She is very anxious, nauseous, shaking, sick in each way possible. Poor girl-so hard to see her like this. I tried to give her something to settle her stomach, but she won't take it. I even tried to force it gently, but she just spits it out.
I will come home at lunch to check on her. I'm so glad Adrian is home today.

Y'all are in our prayers.

Good Wednesday morning MMC. Ahh Wednesday just feels better than Monday/Tuesday doesn't it? It's currently 52 degrees under partly cloudy skies in the suburbs of NY. Should be another beautiful early Autumn Day with lots of sunshine and a high temp around 72 degrees. Can't beat that weather.
I studied some last night for my exam tomorrow. It's hard after work to go home and study. I tell ya...whoever said going back to school after you're a grown up and working for years was sure right. I am gonna try to give whatever I have left in me today once I get home from work since Thursday is the exam. The good news is Friday and the weekend I won't have any homework to do since that exam will be over and the Professor did not assign anything for after that. Gotta look at the positives there. Anyway, how's everyone feeling this mid-week?
Hope you all have a great hump day. These October days are nice. My Yankees lost last night in the wildcard game. Oh well the good thing is I think they have some young players and are finally rebuilding. It's long overdue. Talk to you all later!

I can't even imagine having to go back to school. Good for you! Good luck on the exam!!!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Pine's Day!
I'm heading to the library this morning, I need to make a few photocopies and I have to renew my card. Think I'll borrow some cookbooks while I'm there. I'm also going to take a ride to Target for a few things. Having lunch with my mother today too. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Enjoy lunch with your Mom!! Continued prayers for Maggie - and for you finding a way to get her to take her meds. Little stinker! Have a great day HMG!

Well hopefully that's not the case for her. Hopefully she feels better.
My dog needed surgery...it was either that or he was basically going to be crippled. 6K later yeah it did work...he gets around pretty good now. I wouldn't say he runs around as much as he did before he got hurt but he's 10 and he's happy and he is independent for the most part which is good.

I'm glad to hear your dog is doing well!! They are our babies!!!

Thank you~
Glad you were able to get him the surgery he needed, and that he gets around well now. Please give him a hug for me.

I hear you about costs, we spent that + in the year of emergency care, trying to reach a diagnosis, running tests, and ruling things out. But they are worth it

Yep, they are!!!

OH NO!!! Praying she is doing better now!

Good morning! I hope you & Har both have a blessed & beautiful day!!!

Poor sweet girl!! I'm glad Adi is home with her too!!! Praying she is doing better now!

Thank you, Holiday~
She was resting, so that is good. But, she wouldn't eat, drink, or take anything to help her. I couldn't even get her to come outside with me, I think she is feeling pretty miserable.
I'm hoping to see improvement by the time I go home at lunch <3

She is not feeling well, getting sick, nauseous, not eating, drinking, no energy etc.
I was trying to get her to take pepto, but she wasn't cooperating.
Please keep her in your prayers, friend.

********** MILESTONE DAY **********

OK, Folks.
Ready or not, we have just -- as of this very day -- entered the FINAL TEN PERCENT OF OUR QUEST FOR CHRISTMAS SEASON 2015!!
The HOME STRETCH has begun!

Carl knows it.
(Boy, does he know it!)
More below.

Days to the Season: 37
Days to Christmas Day: 79

Hey, Hey, Hey!
Whaddu you say!
The sun shown here for the whole darn day!
I refer to yesterday. An end to 12 days of rain at last.
Whew!
Now, nice weather is predicted for the entire remainder of the week.
(Won't THAT be great!)
We have commenced things at 58 degrees here in our little part of the MMC Nation.

Allrighty. Pines Day!
It falls not only on a MILESTONE DAY but on the 10-percent-of-the-count-left marker.
Carl, aware of this of course, is working that into tonight's theme, which is "Stretching for Home". All of the details are not yet finalized, but Carl has revealed that there will be a lottery. In recognition of reaching the 10 percent mark, the winning drawer will get 10 complimentary fired twinkies among other prizes.
That's fine, but I'm not too sure about this "stretching" for home business. Sounds a bit risky(?)
Regardless, I'll be there -- but with my eyes open.
(Always sound advise for any visit to the 'Pines when Carl is feeling frisky.)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

So exciting!!! (and hard to believe!!) See you at the pines!!!

Watch out for those spiders!
Good morning, holiday!
Happy Pines day!
Hope your mom enjoys her water aerobics class, and stay safe in the fog.
Glad you enjoyed the chicken pot pie.
Have a wonderful day!

Them spiders are everywhere. UGH!!!
Happy Pines & Milestone day to you!
Thanks! Mom loves her water aeroblics class (obviously) All the schools have closed here for the day. Hopefully by the time she leaves the Y, the fog will have lifted - at least some!! I know she wanted to stop at the hardware too - crazy lady!
have a wonderful day snowflake!

Praying she is much better when you go for lunch! Please keep us posted. I hate it when our kids are sick - human or fur!
