awh,thanks for the Quilt shop links!!! I'll check them out for sure! Cool news on the Contacts. I'm sure you'll like the NEWER Versions. I too had DRY EYE problems, but this time my Dr. gave me Acuvue Oasys and they are plenty wet enough for me.. I can wear them all day at work. Just gotta through 'readers' on occasionly LOL :sneaky: DH has gone off to check on another RV, its a 3 hour drive away so we'll see what happens with that!

RV lady called back this a.m.... she won't go for the low ball offer, she counter offered and I said NO we are holding firm. SHe has another couple coming on Sunday to look at it. THen she'll decide if we can have it for the lowball offer! I hate this waiting game!!!

WEll, I just did it.... I called another RV lady and offered her a low ball $$$ for her van... She didn't say no immmediately.... she wants to sleep on it.. and call me in the morning! Now I have to go and tell Peter!!!

Yes T.J., I have been following your posts... You certainly are a brave one! Will you be able to sue the Lapband doctor who messed up your case so badly? $400,000 is a ton of money... thank goodness for your insurance. But I'd be wanting to get my $45,000 back from the Lapband Dr.!!! All bitterness aside, I am very glad you are on the road to recovery... HUGS, Peaches

For Sure we'll all keep positive thoughts for Tracy. She is such a doll, you are blessed to have such a nice daughter.

No I have never made a Yo Yo quilt.. Making all those little donuts circles would drive me crazy!!! But I have seen them and they are beautiful in their own way. Food yest. not too good, so I'm not posting it... don't want to give anyone else IDEAS

Maybe the Best Blonde Joke Ever! Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again. An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, 'I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it -- why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?' The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, 'Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick.'

Janet, hugs to you GF... all these female tests... yuk... well the trans vag ultrasound isn't too bad. I found the worst part was drinking all that liquid first... I can't hold my 'water' for very long at all. YOu'll bb fine, I am possitive that ALL your tests will come back clean... so don't you worry your pretty little head about it o.k???? Think of it as routine maintenance on a Ford Chasis!!! oops I meant Chrysler!!! At work today, I want to quit... havn't got the guts... there is never a good time to do it... but I think I've made up my mind.... then I think about all my patients that I will miss.. :-( They are the ones I really go in for... most of them, like 98% are super people and I do get attached... Now Peter is having second thoughts about the RV... OMWord what will I do with him? WE put a deposit down on one yesterday... and today he is saying "we were hasty, I hope the offer dosn't go thru!" ARGH!!!

Karla, I know what you mean... the costs of materials just to put into the QUILT are WAY more than the $170... people just don't appreciate the WORK and TIME that goes into making one... Their loss eh? Once a buddy of my DH came over for a Music rehersal... he walks past me in the family room, I am quilting and watching CNN... :he says "what are you doing? The last time I was here (2 wks ago) you were doing the same thing!!" I replyed that I was making an Heirloom quilt... he says "Geesh, why don't you just buy one at Walmart for $35 ????""" Peter had to restrain me, I was going to put a quilting needle through his THICK head!!!! :smile2:

Welfare A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the Counter and says, " Hi... You know, I just HATE drawing welfare checks. I'd really rather have A job. " The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur And bodyguard for his beautiful nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your Clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to Escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy her Sexual urges. You'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $90,000 a year. " The guy, wide-eyed, says , 'You're Bullshittin' me!' The Social Worker says, 'Yeah, well... You started it.' p.s. girls check your email, I sent you the recipe for Cassoulet. :smile2:

Peter and I drove all over "hell's half acre" today, looking at MH's.... well we finally found one we LOVE!~! It has only 53,000 miles on it, 2000 yr, Full Leather interiour, power queen size bed, Bathroom w/shower, plus an outdoor shower too. TV, VCR, MICROWAVE, Fridge/freezer, coffe maker... the works.... but the guy already accepted an offer and a deposit ck from someone else... problem is that #1 guy might not be able to firm up financing by THURS. and if he can't then its OURS.... So keep you fingers crossed o.k.? DH and I had a fight on the way home, was busy traffic as its the long weekend... tons of cars on the road, plus Peter wants to go cross country... SO I have to navigate with this old torn up map... even though we have a GPS!!! But alas, he dodn't like the route "she" picked... so I am on the hook... now my eyes aren't great, so I'm looking at the road signs thru my glassed and then looking OVER my glasses so that I can read the dang map....ohhhhh marital bliss it ain't!! So we are home now, but its a wee bit frosty! Food not good today, on the road and just grabbing and going.... My Eyebrows are frozen, no more WRINKLES between my eyebrows... I am pleased!:smile2:

Hey you girls, my GF Kathy is up from London, On for the weekend... She teaches kindergarden and the kids in her classes LOVE this little song. Click on the Youtube link and TURN UP THE VOlume!!! So cute!

Good morning!!! DH let me sleep in this a.m. AHHHHH then he brought me coffee... what a sweetie! Well about the botox. I have liked the result we've been getting on the Face Cream we all bought last weekend. Then a Px of mine tells me about how she got botox. NOw she's only 40!!!! and she says to me... "You have very deep grooves between your eyebrows".... "Kinda makes you look like your disapproving of everything." WOW, now I had thought that they were very deep before and I didn't like them... SO I was a good girl all week with my food, so I made the appt. to go get the shot. It takes 5 mins. Seriously.. didn't hurt... A couple of little pricks and it was done. I lay back, she makes you scruntch up your face as hard as you can, then relax your face no expression, then raise your eyebrows ... then she :picks: the spots she wants to freeze and then she gives you the needle... bam, your done. Then I had exercises to do for the next 4 hours... 1) raise my eyebrows 2) Make a hard Worry look ' then repeat for 4 hours... this movement in the muscles helps the BOTOX settle into the tissues where is it targeted... I go back in 2 wks for a re-eval and maybe a tweek of some more botox where its needed... then I don't have to go backuntil NOV.... So I figure it'll cost me $1200 per year to maintain... but even if I decide to quit my FURROW will never be as bad as before I started... Now I just went and had a good look at my face this a.m. and I can see a difference already:biggrin: It will be more frozen daily until the 2 wk mark when she does a re-eval. I didn't tell Pter that I did this, I am waiting to see if he notices Ya Steph, it is probably a mid life crisis, but that all started 2 yrs ago with the LB... I like the changes I've made and there will be more to come... Ithink I would be a chicken to do PS on my face, but I am allup for having my GUT done once my weight is where I want it to be. Phyl, sounds like you are still continuing to have a wonderful vacation!!! Janet, any more news on your DESK moving? Weight was 176.2 this a.m. YEAH!! Although yest was a weird food day... was really tight at supper (work stress) couldn't get my chickin down. So I made a choc shake, then later the munchies hit... I had 2 x 100 cal bar, Once slice of Rhubarb cake, then 1/3 bag of popcorn... not the best choices... but I am being honest!!! All day long I had a Protien bar and coffee's. 1,727 cals for the day!

Back at work today, At 9 a.m. I had an appt. with a Dr. in Barrie.... I got BOTOX injected between my eyebrows... you know where you get that "Scowl" going on.... I'll let you know the results!!!

I stayed late tonight and talked to my Boss about the conflicts at the Front Desk.... she agrees with me! SHe is going to do an additional training session with the "person" and then document results.... YEAH!!!:laugh:

Oh My GOsh! O.k. I think its time to fashion another POLL. Who does NOT want to hear about poops ever again????? :laugh:

Morning Gals! WEll Peter and I went and drove the RV this a.m. I think its my favorite one.... But Peter says I have to do the negotiating!!! So I'm gonna call her this weekend sometime and lowball the thing...keep your fingers crossed for me! Its a beauty and has only 78,000 km thats 48,750 miles on a 2000 model year. Its immaculate inside. Cross your fingers for me that we get it. Had a chat with my BOSS last night too about the office politics.... I have just plane had it... don't need the B.S. and I think Peter would be just as happy to have me retired too. WE'll see. Can p.s. I have lost the 1 lb I put on over the weekend so I'm leaving my TICKER as is!!!

HOme now, going to see another RV in the a.m. with Peter... its the one "I" like , now lets see how much HE likes it!!!!:juggle:

A little bad news--there was a text message from DD when I got to Chicago. She had gone to the dermatologist last week to have a few moles removed from her back. Turns out that one of them was cnacerous so she needs to go back and have more extensive surgery. Oh LInda, I am glad that they caught the skin cancer early! And you are a nurse so I am sure you'll put DD mind at ease. Back at work today, urgh! THe new office manager is driving me NUTS!!! I even called my boss today to discuss it... I've tried to give this BIATCH the benefit of the doubt for long enough... So tomorrow I'm having a meeting with my Boss about the OM... we'll see what transpires. I'm of a mind to just pack in this job... who needs it! If we get an RV we could take off anytime we wanted if I wasn't tied to the clinic. I DO love my patients, but the politics is crap... BLECHT... there, its out.. I feel better :juggle:

YOU lost 2 lbs??? Your kidding right? Ah I know what happened.... you got home and finally had a BM!!

Stephanie; you are not a bad mother and you are not going toRUIN the two younger ones. You've had some challenges with Michael's behaviour... Correct me if Im wrong but was he not diagnosed with a mood disorder? a while back? If the Meds don't keep him on an even keel then perhaps residential treatment would be best - for him and the rest of the family. Time apart can sometimes be a beneficial cooling off time for all concerned. What does Jeff think about all this? Is he frazzled with Michael too? Hugs and LOVE to you and your family. Can:wub:

A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in the bathroom, the husband whispers over to his wife: "Listen, this Guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain....do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!" His wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me that he's gay, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong. I love you, too."

Oh Janet, Peter would always come and DIG you out!!! I am glad you liked it here, You know you are ALWAYS welcome anytime... Peter really enjoyed meeting all my GIRLS...now he knows why I spend so much time on the computer :thumbup: I look forward to SNOW days, when I don't have to go to work and I can just quilt away - no guilt!!!
