Hi .. getting ready to leave for day. uncle 80 years old to get pacemaker. He was my dad brother/best friend. They golfed together twice a week. Think this is an outpatient procedure.
He has two kids here. One is weird & one is VERY wierd. Neither drive, hold jobs or have any stability. Both heavily medicated for emotional problems. Oldest son is in California.. he is pretty normal but very unavailable.
Think I will take Oliver to lake for a few hours while procedure is being done.
I didn't know any of that!
Sheesh. Is there any honesty among politicians and do the voters even care?
Oh my! IMPERIOUS SEXUALITY of that insane woman? WOW - ole Naomi shouldn't have breathed the same air as that other insane person, algore........his disease must have been contagious.
Yeah, I choked on that line too. LOL
I watch the local news from Portland on very rare occasions because of the liberal bias. I know that all of Oregon, with the exception of the I-5 corridor, are mostly conservative. In the past, our problem has been that the population is large in that corridor and we are out voted. Hopefully, this time around, we can bring Oregon into the column for President Bush!!!
OH NO! Look at the time! I must get off this computer and get ready to go to my volunteer job at the clinic. I'll be back later this afternoon....prayer for all in need!
Holy smokes, has someone broken into your computer?? That's scary.
Yes, I've read Fit for Life. In fact we have friends in CO who buy his health stuff, but boy is his stuff expensive.
I know just what you mean, Molly. When I need an early start, I'm always an hour short and the rest of the day, late. I'm usually an early riser, but sometimes....no way.
My family is the same way, IG. My Dad worked for the CCC for a few months, not long, cause fishing season came along, but those few months, I think it was 2 or 3, fixed the democrat party in a couple of my sisters minds as saviors of civilization. Yet both are very conservative, so much so, they squeek.
Prayers for you and your family, Dog.
Mornin' lysie!
WOO HOO!!!
Praying for you, your mom and dad Jim.
Also for you John.
Sounds like it is time to contact FOX !

...JEANNE FOLLOWING TRACK GUIDANCE, FINALLY...SIGNIFICANT THREAT BUILDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA...
JEANNE is now starting its westward journey, a trip likely to end upon the Crystal Coast.
There was some improvement in the structure of JEANNE this morning, but then the eye filled in with cloudiness. Nevertheless, the strength of JEANNE has increased, and it is now a category II hurricane.
Track guidance has JEANNE following around the edge of a deep-layered HP center that extends down to Bermuda. The clockwise flow from this anticyclone will slowly bring JEANNE toward the north and head it toward North Carolina. After landfall, a track scenario similar to ISABEL in 2003 is possible.
Whether JEANNE ends up being of the same strength as ISABEL was is still a question mark. Modeling has the storm making landfall potentially as a minor hurricane on Monday night, but that assumes that the current dry air over eastern CONUS wraps into the system inhibiting the release of the latent heat of condensation--the energy that makes hurricanes work. If this scenario doesn't occur, then JEANNE could reach the Crystal Coast with roughly the same intensity as ISABEL.
In addition, the scenario could have JEANNE moving as rapidly inland as ISABEL, giving the emergency managers of Virginia another workout this year. The saving grace is JEANNE is smaller than ISABEL was.
The estimated landfall point for JEANNE is Morehead City, NC.
Residents in Virginia and North Carolina should begin preparations for the arrival of JEANNE.

...KARL CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...ICELAND WILL BE THREATENED...
KARL is losing the inner eyewall, meaning it is about finished with its recycle phase. Because the cyclone is starting to accelerate to the NNE and will be moving over cooler waters, strengthening is not likely. Indeed, KARL has already started a slow weakening.
KARL continues along track guidance.

...LISA STILL DISORGANIZED AND IS WEAKENING...NHC BELIEVES THE NORTH HALF OF THE SYSTEM IS CLEAR OF PRECIPITATION...
LISA is being adversely affected by the disturbance following it. It will continue to have problems organizing for the next couple of days, and may be absorbed by the following system.
If it does not, then the disturbance, coupled with a LP trough forecast to dig southward north of LISA at VT forecast plus five days, will turn the storm toward the NW and away from land areas. If this scenario comes to pass, then LISA will also likely be a hurricane at VT forecast plus five days.
It is cautioned this package does not have a high confidence behind it as many things have to occur in a certain way, and there are significant possibilities that might not be so.

LISA is a threat only to shipping.
I'm home briefly....then I'm heading back.
Mom is in congestive heart failure.. they have her heavily sedated and on the ventilator... she is in Intensive Care..and will be staying in the hospital even after this crisis is over.....they want to replace the valve while she is there.
They will be weening her off the ventilator today........then we go from there...with the surgery.
Sorry if I'm rambling here..
Her 02 level in her blood is good.....but the fluid built up and she crashed.
