Just dropping in to say hi and thanks for the pings. I have been busy with my new computer and finally finished my first graphic in over half a year or more. Have to say I do not really like Window7, such a big change from XP and many of the features I liked are gone.

Hope all’s well and you have a nice weekend.

[potlatch]

I love your graphic and verse, just so pretty Teenie. I was not posting for almost a month and just getting in the groove again.........I think, lol. Wishing you well.

[potlatch]

I love your image Jaycee, it’s great! Sorry I’m not here more but my life’s been ‘involved’. Funny thing - April Fool’s Day last year was the beginning of a bad year for me and I’m counting on an end to it in a few days, lol.

Hope you are feeling well, we are all having our troubles and I keep all of you in my prayers.

You're most welcome, potlatch! It's nice to see you posting after such a long absence.

You sound like hubby. His latest 'puter has Windows7 and he doesn't sound real happy with it. I suppose it takes some getting used to.

Hope all is well with you!

[potlatch]

Hi Meg, just dropping in to say hi and wish you well. Want to thank you for your post on my political graphic, I just started posting them again after a long spell.

Your frame on that graphic is just beautiful!!

[potlatch]

Yorkie, I’ve missed so many pings and goings-ons here and it’s wonderful to see you here and posting a lot. I want you to know that I’ve prayed for you each night, by name, and hope you are doing well. No need for a reply, just want you to know.

[potlatch]

Hi Teenie. If I could go back to XP I’s do it in a second but Windows doesn’t upgrade XP any more - from what I know. I’ve had it a month now and am used to some things but miss so many features that have changed.

I’m well, still have some family illnesses going on though.

[oldteen]

Your sense of humor is so unmistakably unique! :)

[oldteen]

I’m well, still have some family illnesses going on though.

Really sorry to hear that but it seems to be the norm in most families these days! *sigh*

Take care of yourself. Hope we 'see' you more often!

[potlatch]

It does seem to be the norm anymore, sorry to say!
Thanks Teenie, have a nice weekend.

No, and the back surgeon did not mention a compression fracture to me. I dislike not being informed especially when it comes to my medical care.

Ear test went ok was nearly painless..pain was from my lumbar contacting a hard surface. Even soft ones are a no go.

Any one ever hear of a I or E stem for the back to treat bladder pain?

They are spending less and less time with me. I feel like I am getting shafted and shunted off as a nut case. Yet all my test say horrid stuff.

[jaycee]

Wonder if they make an 8 or 10” stiletto? Of course, I may be nursing a broken hip afterward. I don’t know how anyone wears them. I noticed the gals on Fox wear the highest heels I’ve ever seen. I sometimes wonder how many falls they may have had! And if they haven’t fallen yet, their time could come.

[jaycee]

I believe they would need to be cut off about 4 inches, plus allow one inch more for hemming. (I bought 2 pair.) I just went in the bathroom where they’re on a hanger and its sort of a little scalloped braid around the leg bottoms. The lace was on the pocket of the top and around the neck. I can do without the scalloped braid at the bottom I guess but I sorta liked it.

Last time I bought P.J.’s I found petites and on me they were perfect full lengths!

[jaycee]

Such cute little girls, Kitty. I remember being that age and having
little good friends. That was way before I discovered
boys....LOL!

[luvie]

I’ll take that as a good thing. LOL!

[jaycee]

Thank you potlatch. Its always good to see you around here.
I understand the "bad year" thing. You and I both have had
many bad things this past year. I always try to say, "It could
have been worse." Sometimes its hard but things could
be worse. The Lord brought us through everything. You are always in my
prayers also, Potlatch.

Also, all of yorkie's troubles, and Dubya has never made it back yet.
And of course Dave had bladder cancer and is making very good
progress on his recovery. Thats what I mean when I say
it could have been worse.

[jaycee]

I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME FOR A SMILE!

HAPPY THURSDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

Glencar Waterfall, Co. Sligo, Ireland

From “The Stolen Child”

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

William Butler Yeats

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[potlatch]

[You and I both have had many bad things this past year.]

I hope you are doing ok Jaycee. Pain and troubles are not fun but it helps to have friends and loved ones. Thanks for thinking of me too and I’ll try to ‘check in’ more often, lol.

I’ve continued to pray for Dubya and Dave too.

[yorkie]

Conor - aren’t you the ‘train’ buff? I have something to post to you, if you are!
