Thank you Andy. I am in such a good mood today. I just talked to my daughter and told her I was all through with the eyes. She mentioned that it has been more than a year that all this dang drama has been going on. Now I can give her all my attention.

I have two wheel chairs. One is a regular one that is very heavy and one is a travel one. I can lift that one myself with just one hand. She has had problems with her feet for eons. It all comes from the pointed shoes she wore all the time. You know the kind. The stilletoes. She now has developed bones where there shouldn't be any. And she is having a very difficult time walking. So her oncologist is going to put her in touch with a specialist. She wants to take one of my wheelchairs to get around outside her home. She is welcomed to it. I swore that once I got out of that chair, I would never sit in one again. And I haven't. :angel:

Good for you Addie!:angel:
I spent a year in a wheelchair when I was 17. Broke my back. I vowed the same thing & continue to believe that.
Happy Birthday to your daughter! :angel: Hope all continues to be well.
 
I am debating whether or not I should clear the driveway or not again today.
It's not *too* bad...
 
Changing my shoes to go work in the yard. I sort of painted myself into a kitchen corner yesterday with a couple of good buys in the meat department, so this morning I had to put together a couple of casseroles to properly use up those deals. Will freeze them for later on. Still have 10 chicken thighs to do something with, but will be thinking while I'm weeding and do them later.
 
I bought a new bread (sample size) this morning called Focaccia Asiago. Asiago is a cheese and it was sprinkled on top, I liked the bread but the cheese was a bit bitter tasting. One of my favorite breads is the Country Loaf from Panera. Do you have a favorite boughten bread?
 
I just got chased back into the house by a marauding band of ferocious ants that attacked my feet and legs and somehow made it all the way to my shoulder blade (well, one, did). I do try to watch while I'm working that the ants don't sneak up on me - their bites itch like crazy and leave blisters that scar. But I know when I'm beaten - I'm afraid the better 'man' prevailed. Again. Got out the itch cream, changed my clothes. Chicken thighs, here I come, to save the day! (Makes me think of Andy Kaufman, lip-synching to Mighty Mouse.)

I love them all -- especially sourdough and rye, but I'm trying hard to limit myself to one slice and think whole wheat is probably a better choice. I try to find "artisan" bread that doesn't have the preservatives, etc. of regular off-the-shelf brands.
 
i'm looking online to buy a small laptop pc. yes, again! it's my fourth pc in two years. the one i'm using right now i bought just last thanksgiving. as always, i have read through many customer reviews of all of the computers i am considering to buy. and so, now i come to my dc friends again for any advice you might have.:)

i realize that the main problem i have with my pc's breaking down has to do with my habit of choosing the low cost brands every time. i either can't afford, or am unwilling to spend the money for one of the reliable name brands.

right now i am on the verge of going with either ASUS or the HP brand. which would you choose and why? is there another brand i should consider? thank you for any input you have for me....

I can't really tell you anything about ASUS or HP computers.

I have an "MSI" that's almost two years old and works pretty good. I almost always buy from a local store called MicroBytes. They have great tech guys and even their sales people are geeks. They will put a computer together for me according to my specs and the prices are decent.

If you could find a store like that in your area, that's what I would recommend.

Fire ants?
I remember leaning back against a fence post while in SW FLA... I quickly learned to check the base for nests after that.
