HEY, EVERYBODY!!

I know I said yesterday I was going into lurker mode, but, a few words from certian freepers and the fact that I'm so "addicted" to FR and to posting on the threads, not to mention all the great freepers like Mixer, who's be celebrated today, CONGRATULATIONS MIXER.

I'm sorry for the erratic way I've been lately, but I had a really trying week this week, I went Saterday to scope out an apartment complex in Linthicum and am now in the process of filling out an application for a 1 bedroom apt on the first floor, my knees will love that! NO STAIRS!

But I started to have problem with my knees and my hip and back and neck. (And I'm only 45!) SHEESH!!

Then I left my lunch box on the train with my building pass and all cards, ID and credit cards and all in it, this didn't help my mood at all. then one thing after another, boy! I was not in the mood to freep!

Weel it's Friday, TGIF!

I would like to say a few prayers to God for the healing and the comfort of WVNan and her husband and his uncle. also for Mr_Magoo and his family. I also am saying prayers for our dear friends, whoever and Beep.

Also, I am coming out of lurker mode so i can keep up with everyone here and on other threads.

God Bless You All!!

Welcome back, rascal.

Knew you couldn't stay away from me too long. LOL

I'm very glad you decided not to just lurk, Pip. Even though you and I are seldom here at the same time, I always enjoy seeing your cheerful and friendly posts to everyone who comes by. You're a bright, sunny presence - don't just lurk!

Hi Pippin. Glad to see your back....It's pretty tough lurking ONLY. Ouch on the knee, back, hip etc. I'm 48 and developed a hip problem about 3 years ago. Turned out to be my syiatic (sp) nerve. A couple of months of massage therapy, daily stretching (and not letting the dogs sleep on either side of me, although that one I cheat on) have done the trick.

We also got the select comfort number bed about six months ago and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Mr. D. used to move to the couch the middle of the night because his back would bother him. His only complaint now is that he doesn't want get out of bed in the am. Dittos for me and our 15 year old arthritic sheltie LOL!

Good evening everyone and Congratulations Mixer on your special day! LOL I know you like "Designing Women" Billie, but then we have to create a special phrase for Louie... Oh! I forgot, Louie Wolf has "designs" on lots of things too! hehehe

On a serious note, I read about WVNan's husband and, again, offer her family my prayers for his complete healing and recovery. I know she must be afraid, but our thoughts and love are with her.
