Laura I would be scared for your Grandmother also. I think there are some people that prey on older people, especially women. I see it all the time at the shop when somebody tells me about their experiance or their mothers or whatever. It makes me mad.

My lunch date fell through, so just have dentist, and by the way did I tell you guys I got a ticket? At work? On private property? Well I am going up to City Hall today and raise cain. I mean I have worked there over 23 years, and all of a sudden they can give a ticket on private property??? I don't think so!!! Plus I am pmsing so this should be FUN!!!!! I can be so onery at times!!

Okay have a good day.

Oh and Tracy, I think I would wait too.

Laura:

Yep, keep the stories coming though. They always make me smile!

My family is just your "normal", passive aggressive, we don't talk about our problems, type of family!

[TracyK 3]

Just a quick check in....back to bed I go. I feel like I have been hit by a train.

[Kat817 19]

Sorry you feel bad Tracy!!!

TracyKS--I too would find a reputable dealer---much of it depends on what "gold" you are selling, if it is old jewelry and things like that, you are going to get less, as you do have to deal with pawn shops or places that will take it down---which increases their cost, and so you make less. If it is in coin form, or stock bouillion (however it is spelled!!!!!) then coin shops will usually do better by you.

I agree, that regardless of who gets elected, our economy is going to get worse before it gets better-------we are kind of like the druggie that is going to have to hit bottom I think! Both candidates have expressed their dismay at the bailout, so it looks to me as though there is change in the offing, and as hard as it is going to be.....something has to change in order for it to ever get better.

I sold what I did to cover my account due to the debit mess I had-------which they say I should have word on this week, I sure hope so! But there was no way I was taking it all out and selling it yet! Rick is going to be a bit like Laura's granny, and will likely still have it for the kids to deal with when we die!

I was hoping to have lunch with my husband and then go to my appointment, but he cancelled........grrrrrrr!!!!! He has problems at work to deal with, so is not taking a lunch. So instead, I am going to leave early, and hit the book store!! Show him!! I always spend too much $$$$ in there! LOL

Terry........can you do those earrings in assembly line fashion? If so, I want some too!!!! Let me know and I will get you a check! You are SOOOOO right, with jeans and a sweater they would be perfect!

It is pretty warm out, but really cloudy---this should push our leaves over the edge from pretty and gold to brown and on the ground! I see exercise in my future!

When I left to go riding yesterday, I put the kids saddle on Kismet! I tied her to the fence, and tossed it on her back---she went very still, and remained still until I almost got her cinched, and she pulled into me, and got my chin on the stirrup, so I have a scraped chin. She tossed a bit, but she was calmly walking with it on her when we come back, she let me reach under and undo it and brush her out....no issue. My cousin will work with her in the next year to get her ride ready---not me I am a chicken!

I hate going to town without deodorant! I cannot wear it with my mammogram, so it is in my purse for after--but I KNOW I didn't use it, so I feel yucky!!! LOL

Well, I am off to return a light to Lowes, go to the book store, go buy my granddughter a new tutu, and then have my appointment.....see y'all after the girls get smushed!

Kat - Yep, I sure can make you a pair, too. I'll make 'em tonight...they go pretty quick. So fun to make, too! Have great fun at your mammoCram.

TracyK - So sorry, hon!! Have you called the doctor?

Janie - Give 'em HELL!

[Daisalana 33]

I 2nd that, time for the doc Tracy, you've been sick a while!!

What did you get a ticket for Jane?

More color in my family, my bro's gf came by to ask me to talk my brother into staying in college. Apparently he wants to drop out, because he isn't passing classes... he isn't passing classes, because he won't GO to class. She somehow thinks I have pull.. she said "You know how to influence him" (She really IS bad on drugs). I pointed out.. if I had any influence, he would never have become a druggie, wouldn't have had to go to rehab and bootcamp several times before turning 18, wouldn't have had a kid at 18 and dropped out of high school.. he wouldn't have waited till he was 26 to start college, then use it as a never-ending excuse not to work, even tho he doesn't go to class, and now.. still not working, and wanting to stop school.

Taste the rainbow!!

I don't even know where to begin...rarely I am at a loss for words.

Where the hell is Judy?

[TracyinKS 7]

My head is about to explode............ DS is on the short list from getting kicked out of before/after school care......... and the thing is he told them, ok, I've been bad enough. it's time to send me home now............. (INSERT EXPLODING HEAD) Today school is out and so he's been in all day care. I had a feeling it would be bad today, because he was clingy when I left him this morning, and we've had all weekend just he and I...... I am totally at my wits end, he is so damn hard headed and smart at the same time. He turns it on and off at will, and he LIKES getting the attention, good or bad, he LIKES going to the principal, because she is a nice lady, HE LIKES going to the counselor because she has a DOG......... He LIKES when I have to pick him up.............. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

He knows he will have consequences tonight, HE KNOWS, but it is that instant gratification of RiGHT then.. not listening, not standing still, not following directions because he is pushing all his boundaries, and the teachers feel like they are hog tied as to NOT being firm with him. I'm like... (for the love of God, turn on your drill seargent voice

[Daisalana 33]

Did I mention I have a round rash on my back, that looks like ringworm?

[janiebug 0]

JUDY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!

Tracyks has he officially been diagnosed with something? If so then that should be all you need for some respite care. Don't let your head explode cause it is messy to clean up!!!

[Haydee 2]

TracyKS - sorry for what you're going through! That sucks... I can't help in anyway, shape or form. I would lock myself up in the closet and call my mom to come fix it! Can you do that? LOL... Love you, lots of hugs for you...

[Kat817 19]

Laura, Manda had a round thing like that, she went and got the meds thinking somewhere she had picked up ringworm.....it did not help, and then she broke out in this rash all over her torso, and a few on her legs. She went to the Dr, who told her his DD had just seen the derm for the same rash, and it has a name I will get from her --- so you can look it up and see if you might have the same thing. He said it rarely ever goes to the face, and will go away as quickly as it appeared, but the big lesion, the big round worm looking one will be the last to go! Wierd!!! Since I have heard of several with it!

Oops "my" dog is here....bbl!

[TracyK 3]

Terry-I have some antibiotics (Z-Pack) left over from when we had this crap before so I am taking them and zyrtec.

Laura-well, I got sick, then well, now I have relapsed. Ringworm? I used to get them then when my cat died I noticed I stopped getting them :biggrin:

Judy-glad to see you are on! Welcome home!

Pamela-you don't know where to begin with what? Cat got your tongue? Cat meow, not Kat Kat.:tongue2:

TracyinKS-sorry about what you are going through with Robby.

This afternoon I feel a little better. I will just feel so much better when I can breathe through my nose. I slept most of the day and I think it was just what the dr ordered. Bad thing is I have eaten like a cow when I am up. What makes it worse is I can't taste what I am eating. Sad...

Have a good evening violets!

[Daisalana 33]

I think I know what you're talking about Kat, I found that earlier when I was googling.. I don't remember the name now but the big round one was called the 'herald' spot, and then smaller ones formed all over after that one formed.

It doesn't itch or bother me, and I know one of my cats was diagnosed with ringworm 2 years ago but it went away without meds so I let it go--even though I know it won't go away, cats can just carry it without symptoms. Just surprised it would affect me now.

Russell saw it when I was changing last night, so I have no idea how long it's been there.

I am going to my doc tomorrow for the flu shot, so I'll have him check it out while I'm there... but like I said, it doesn't itch so I'd be surprised if it was ring worm.
