my sister & b-i-l are coming up today. unfortunately it's for a funeral of my b-i-l's-cousin's-husband. he was only 49 & had just weeks ago learned he had a rare condition that causes hardening of the heart. his name was Wylie. Wylie had a very successful business, a very sweet wife, & 2 beautiful kids. it's a very sad thing that has happened to our community.

my home church has lost 2 of its most faithful members in the last week. the lady was over the childrens division for as long as i can remember. she taught me in childrens church & my kids. precious lady.
the gentleman was 84 & i didn't know him as well personally but i know he was a good man. it hits the church very hard i'm sure.
neither of them is suffering any more. may they rest in peace.

Sorry to hear about the loss in your family. Prayers for your family and for everyone in your church.

We have tickets for the Buckeye/Nebraska football game (GO BUCKS!) so hopefully the weather will be ok! I think they are calling for a low of 42º in Columbus. :cold:

Enjoy the game!

I know !! but I would not be able to eat it !! I mean can you imagine me cutting into a polar bear even a cake one ?????

You are too cute

This is so not my day!!!! I took 2 Tylenol two hours ago and my temperature right now is 99.6. I don't know how I am going to go to school tomorrow. I missed class yesterday and today, I really can't afford to miss any more than that in one week. I have a quiz on Friday too. Ugh!!!

Enough complaining from me - time to catch up!

J91 hope you can get some rest sounds like you have a full plate, hope you start to feel better

Good evening, MMC! Tomorrow is day off, so I will get caught up on some posts. Hope all is well. Life has been very busy here on my end. Happy Pines Day! Miss you all!

I hear you on the busy part, I love your new signature picture very nice

Life has been busy for me, too. It's hard to stay caught up, lol.

Right I know, sometimes I get so busy I am exhausted by the end of the day - I missed "talking" with you all, felt a little bad I was missing it.

Is there a big parade for the Canadian Thanksgiving?

Did I miss the answer??? CS is there one, or Brent???

That sounds like a plan, I have family in Canada. cheesy

Oh lucky you two Thanksgiving's!!!!

Yes it does, I plan on trying to make a turkey breast like I make my recipe for The Best Whole Chicken In A Crock Pot. Just change a few spices and I imagine it will be very yummy and juicy like the chicken.

Here is the recipe: http://mymerrychristmas.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27224

Oh my Xmas very good idea!!!! I love, love, love this recipe in fact I am making it Saturday!!!!

Good morning MMC, cold and rainy here this morning!

On abit of a downer as i lost my phone last night! my own fault, was sat in the car and I thought I had put it back in my bag which was on my lap but think I must of missed and when ive got out of the car its dropped and bounced under the car, Had a rubbery type of case on it so would have easily gone under without me noticing. Mad at myself more than anything, someone had taken it as its been switched off and i drove back down to where I was but it was gone, but called up my provider and they blocked the sim and the phone so no one should be able to get my info off it

Trying not to dwell on it, there are worse things people are going through and a phone is replaceable!!

Going to catch up on the posts, always cheers me up!! Have a great thursday everyone!!! x

Oh Claire it is still a hassle that's for sure, good for you taking care of the SIM card right away

Don't be too hard on yourself, Claire.....A few months back I washed my Ipod by accident.....Sorry about your phone xo

CM3!!! I did the same thing, um but I have a confession to make that Snickers, Bella, & Callie are the only other ones who know as one only barks, the other two meow I have been safe but I will tell you all on MMC.... About a year ago I did the same thing to my husbands IPod, washed and dried it!!! As you can imagine it did not work after that... I ran to the store and wanted to buy a new one for him but they didn't have the model it had been all upgraded, ugh... so I bought the new version and just set it up for him, told him I bought him a new one, I never said why and oddly he never asked what happened to the old one - sure hope he doesn't... Oh I just couldn't tell him I washed & dried the dang thing!!!!

Sick sick sick with a fever of 100!!

Oh no J91... Goodness please drink plenty of water it is so important with a high fever, I am not 100% sure but I think when your temp goes high it means your body is fighting so that might be a good thing you are fighting it off.

Good morning everyone!

I'm "up at and at them" a little earlier than usual. Kind of. I slept in about 15 minutes past my normal time - I forgot to set my alarm, but at least I woke up! I think I needed the extra few minutes. I didn't sleep well two nights ago due to this sore throat. Last night felt like an easy sleep. Hopefully I am recovering.

Good to hear last night was better, sometimes your body knows you need the rest

Last night was enjoyable. Some friends, Kim and I visited Red Lobster for their Endless Shrimp. It was a great time. All of us have been quite busy over the past month or so and we haven't all been together at the same time. It was a very enjoyable midweek gathering.
I do so love the Red Lobster Endless Shrimp, glad you had fun with your friends

90 degrees for the high today but down in the 40's by this weekend! Wow!

I want to get my outdoor Halloween stuff out but it might have to wait until next week.

I hope you all have a great day!!!

We are going to have 80 tomorrow and then 58 on Saturday!?!?! Crazy weather, but I am putting the full Halloween decorations out on Saturday woooo hoooo

999 days?????? :hello: AWESOME!!!! Here is mine... (pic was taken 10/1/12)

That is too cute, I may have to shop around for one too

LOOOK!!!

A new CHRISTMAS CD! John Travolta & Olivia Newton John



More on the cd & the charities proceeds go too:

I think it will be GREAT!!!!

Thanks I have to check it out... I have to find he thread for new music coming out this Christmas I want to see who is putting out a CD. Does anyone know if that new Country group Edens Edge ever put one out??? I also wonder if Jason Aldean did... I have to check into that

Good day everyone! How are you all?! I am well, just glad to be here! I miss you all so much! It just great to be on the actual site and see what is all going on.

What has everyone be up to? I am intersted to see...I know I will NEVER get caught up on the Countdown at this point, but I will try to read the lastest news.

I've been busy in everyday life, but at work. I am tonight, then work all week, plus DH does too. He works his regular job until 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, then he heads right to Pittsburgh, comes from there Saturday afternoon, then goes right back to the fire department to go back to work. He's teaching out in Pittsburgh Friday evening and Saturday all day. Busy, busy, and busy!

Well, I am going to read posts. I hope all is well here and everyone is enjoying counting down to the season. We will be there before we know it. Crazy....

cm3, you are always so kind. how's your pain? could it be gout? have you seen a doc? i pray for you & hope you feel much better this morning.

Thanks MerryMistletoe !! ....No it isn't gout..Test came back negative for that. I see my doctor on the 16th and I am going to tell him he has to DO SOMETHING. Thank you for your prayers, they are much needed always but particularly right now xo

Buster is doing well - thanks for asking. Of course his eye doesn't look right (it will never look normal again since his lense fell...) but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. He seems happy, he's eating good, he wants to walk, & he thinks any food that is on our cupboard is for him - he has been putting his front paws up on the cupboard & sticking his nose up there to see what he can find. He hasn't done that for a long time!!! He's getting even more SPOILED!!! But he does not like his eye drops. He fights me every time - 3 times a day... unless I can sneak them in while he's sleeping! Hello to Wish! And how is Wish?? Hopefully all is well!!!
:razz:

I am so glad (((Buster))) is feeling well !! Wish is still going along pretty good !! I looked up his age and since he is 16 he is the equivalent of 80 years old !!!! Is that how old Buster is too ??? I forget xo

 

[caninemom3]

Caninemom, are you out of pain yet? I am worried about you!

Hi CAH !!! Unfortunately, no. I just cant figure it out. I have to take a medication which is a light narcotic every day in order to funcction. If I don't I can hardly stand because of pain....But it WILL get better xoxoxoxoo How are you feeling ?? xo
