Here is the latest on what is going on here. I have been moving back
and forth from the hospital in another town for two days now with Mom
who has been sick with Pancreatitis. It is caused by her
gall bladder and stones which are or have irrrated the pancreas.
They are giving her all kinds of
tests and she may get surgery by the week’s end. She is stable as of
this afternoon and we are still consulting with many doctors.
Your prayers are sure appreciated right now. Mom is in a private room
due to the outbreak of flu we are having, and likes that a lot. We do too!
Will keep you all updated as things progress.

Until later I want to give
And Mom’s to all of you!!!

Been awhile since I have been here.. having troubles getting around to places not sure why since I have two ways of doing things nowdays. Everything seems so slow to me. Maybe my mind is a little bit scattered too. Mom has had some not so good days lately. The doctors took some of her meds away from her and so she is beginning to feel the difference. Sad really because she was doing so well before. When the body says “No I can’t take it anymore” then what can one do? Live day to day and hope for the best. 
Here are some recent thoughts I posted over to Spaces..
DRYER BALLS….
Recently I wondered if those balls they put in the
dryer really worked. I have so many allergic reactions
to those softeners etc that I tried the sheets with NO SMELL.
Well I was not as satisfied as I would like. I decided to seek
out those DRYER BALLS that I had seen advertised on one
of the shopping shows on tv.
I ended up getting this one, because of the static cling
feature. The package says the more balls you use the
better the result. Does that mean that two are not
sufficent? I don’t know. Some people use tennis balls
and some people make their own balls. YES THEY DO!
CLICK HERE.
So far I can see them working on the softness but
still have to work on the static cling part. ANYONE
else try these things? What did or do you think of them?

HORRIBLE DISTRESSING NEWS
about the shooting at Ft Hood. The minute I heard I thought
of the families there that lost loved ones so violently and
abruptly. It had to be shocking for everyone there.
In the days to come the whole story will unfold more and
they will figure it all out. What surprised me most was the fact
that he is a Major and a psychiatrist. Just sad.

FLU NEWS.
Got a call from a relative and she tells me her 5 year old got
the H1N1 flu and was sick for 4 days with a fever of 101 to103.
The doctor gave both her children tamiflu and it made them both
pretty sick. “It is something you really don’t want” she said.. “it’s
rough on you.” I truly believe that. I hope and pray they get a
cure for this thing soon. Neither child has had the flu shot as they
are not available here yet. 
We are all still waiting for supplies
We are all still waiting for suppliesto arrive.

TEN BODIES FOUND..
In the news they said that this rapist murdered at least 10
people. He lived in a house in a big neighborhood and
NO ONE knew a thing.
Oh, they smelled a foul odor coming
Oh, they smelled a foul odor comingfrom his house..they didn’t call or anything. The authorities checked
out his house and they didn’t FIND anything. 
I find the whole thing
I find the whole thingjust confounding that NO ONE knew anything at all. People were
reported missing in the block..several.. and this man had a
rap sheet and a reputation in that neighborhood. WHY
I wonder, didn’t they investigate him more thoroughly when
people started vanishing. It just amazes me. If in my neighborhood
something stunk that bad.. I think I would have been very
suspicious and called someone. This man buried someone in
his backyard. No one saw him do it.. just amazing and scary.
No one saw him do it.. just amazing and scary.This case is on-going in the news now here because it takes
place in OHIO, our neighbor to the south. Sure am glad he didn’t
live here in Michigan but then do we know our neighbors like we
used to? No we don’t.. guess it is wise to be aware all the time.
No we don’t.. guess it is wise to be aware all the time.I watched an ABC show called V on tape last night. I was busy watching
NCIS in real time. Anyway.. V is a remake of a show that was on
some time ago. Now days with all the special effects they can do,
well it is a more modern style show. Can we say CREEPY?.. Yes I think
that’s it. I wasn’t as blown away as I thought I would be
over it. I was creeped out over the thought that they portrayed all
the sleeper cells of ordinary looking terriorists, out to do our country harm, as the
“V” visitors. That is how they were able to do things and the authorities
not be able to detect them so easily. That got my attention. I shudder
That got my attention. I shudderto think about it. I think I will stick with the CAKE BOSS and maybe
my old favorites Survivor and 24 from now on. Those shows don’t give me
nightmares!!
Awhile back I said we had trouble with our mail service here. I received a
visit from a nice lady today who we got her mail by mistake. We sent it back
to her so she came to say Thanks and tell me she had gotten some of OURS
too. She was concerned because the mail was her bank checks and important
bills. She met with the head postmaster about it and told him how it was happening
more often. Seems some of the carriers cannot tell EAST FROM WEST! 
They are NOT checking the names on them just the addresses and they
are doing it by hand. We have about 3 or 4 different mail carriers
and never the same one every day. NO WONDER we can’t get good service.
I told her that if I get anything else of hers I will go to the post office personally
and tell them about it too. She says she sends my things back to me… I will
never know how many things have went astray though. It sure is frustrating.
They get paid good money, yet we have to do their work for them.
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
Quick entry here.. cold temps yes we have them. Sun.. yes it is out
and the air is crisp like November is supposed to be.
Tried many times to get here and enter last night and it just
would not co-operate. Some days are like that I guess.
Some days are like that I guess.Got plenty of chores to do today..just getting to them is
the thing.
We went out of town yesterday and got caught in the rain and
wind. Nasty! I hate that. We try to schedule an outing with
mom when the weather is nice. Getting a person in and out
in a wheelchair in the rain and or snow is NOT EASY.
So.. our trip shopping was shortened a whole lot. I did
notice that stores were not as busy as I thought they would
be on the first of the month. The lady cashier we had said
they “GOT SLAMMED” on Halloween and the store was just
over-whelmed. Census is here that many had their lights
on and not many showed up.

RECYCLED CANDY????
Local dentists and some doctor offices are BUYING BACK
the candy that was collected or unused.. YEP.. $1.00 a lb!
YEP.. $1.00 a lb!They are sending what good candy they can to the TROOPS
overseas. How about that! 
A novel idea that is working
A novel idea that is workingout for those who bought candy and didn’t use it and
DON’T want it in their homes afterward either.
Well not much going on here.. going to bake mom
some banana bread today.. she has cut back on her
diet so much, now she doesn’t have much appetite so
thought she might perk up some smelling that bread!
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY
let up enough to do their trick or treating,not sure about
the wind though. That is, IF
they are actually doing that sort of thing still. More and more
kids are using the school or church activities instead
of going door to door here . I don’t blame
them. Many places are staggering their schedules so
that kids can attend a party a day from mid-week
on. That means more fun and more treats. I remember
when we just got 3 hours and that was it. Maybe we had
a party at school and maybe not. Things sure have
changed over the years.

The first time I saw Poltergeist I cringed everytime that
small woman with the round face called out to the young
girl. I sure loved it when she declared “THIS HOUSE IS CLEAN!”
too. What a relief! So many scary movies at this time of
year..I guess it depends on what era you grew up in. There
is CHUCKY! and FREDDIE KRUGER..shudder.. well many many more.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SCARY MOVIE YOU WATCH AT
HALLOWEEN?
These are worth clicking to see better.
The cold moved in and the wind but no rain. It really
feels like winter now. We should have temps in the 30’s
tomorrow morning. The landscape has now changed from
autumn to winter, dark and tree bare.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hope you all had a great Hallloween. We had fun checking out
all the decorated homes. Some people really go all out. makes
me wonder.. WHERE do you KEEP all that stuff???
I am a firm believer that you are, where you are supposed to be and who you are supposed to be the minute you were born. Part of GOD's Plan for us all.. he doesn't make mistakes so that is just that! I dont look back and wonder, I instead look ahead and be grateful to be alive and wonder what is yet to be.
