Does anyone know how long it takes to get an avatar approved?? I sent one in late yesterday afternoon, still waiting...

I've been waiting for 3 days for some. Gath usually approves them first thing in his morning. He must be taking some time off for his birthday.

ok, thanks Heidi! I'll TRY to be patient!

TTFN, almost time for lunch!!

Hello everyone, back for a bit!!

HI SUZANNE, what's for lunch today?

I just did the again, temps cool enough to be out mid day. Still wore my hat, and my new invention . . . detachable sleeves.

I need long sleeves when in the sun, but hate putting on another shirt over what I am wearing, too hot. Not fun changing shirts either, so I cut sleeves from an old long sleeve white T, put elastic in the top of sleeve. Now I can slip sleeve on and up under whatever short sleeve knit top I am wearing. Easy on, easy off and I keep them with my hats.

Oh, I have a second reason I must avoid the sun. the antibiotic doc has me on for the rosacea say NO SUN.

I must away to finish putting up my squash. I found some yesterday at a very good price, bought enough to put up 7 quarts, blanched and put in the freezer. That kept me busy for a bit. I have the last 2 quarts to go, these 2 are the yellow summer squash, I have finished 5 qt zucchini squash.

OH I kept out one small and very tender squash to go in my tuna salad today for lunch. colorful, tasty and healthful. I did not know how hungry I was till I started talking food hehehe. Later friends.

MizTricia: Hello, lunch was tomato rice soup with basil, still not much appetite after being under the weather for 3 days...what a clever idea about the shirt!!!! I have rosacea too, never on medicine for it, just watch my sun exposure, what medicine are you on (if you don't mind me asking)??

Morning all!
Hi Kathi and Aimee!

CRAFTS...

MizT - I'm intrigued by 'putting up' squash. I see another google opportunity here... I also love the shirt idea. My doc won't give me anything for my rosacea. I'll have to nag him about it.

Brenda - I'm about to go into my girl's bedrooms with a big green bag and throw a lot of stuff out. I'm tired of the mess!

Suzanne - we're also supposed to watch what face products we use, noice and gentle...

Broni - I have an external hard drive that I load stuff onto now. I'm worried that it's only a matter of time until the computer goes blaaa... which reminds me, I saved all yesterdays stuff onto the regular hard drive. Not very consistent of me!

Suzy: That is so true about what we use, that is one of the reasons I have been a Mary Kay consultant for almost 11 years. Her products are gentle & safe for folks like us with rosacea...Just wish I could get the eczema on my hands under control, it's been flaring up a lot since I came back from Florida (it was bad there, lots of stress from my aunt--as much as I love her, she is SUPER critical of me!! (worse than my mom)

Suzanne, I have a friend whose mother has literally told her she is a waste of space. I was horrified. My mother can be very critical, but she has never gone that far. The saddest part is that if it were someone other than a family member, the comments could be blown off as unimportant.

The horses are standing at the back gate saying 'well, isn't it time yet? we're hungry'. Guess I should brave the cold morning air....

I will say gooday to everyone first,then go back to catch up on reading.

I I I ammm gggooiing tttoo haave ttto pput a jjackeett nnnear tthe bbbacckk dddooorr fffoor fffeeddiing tthe hhhhorssssesss. 3CCC iis ttto cccold.....

pppppoor yyyyoouuuu ssssuuzyyy I know what those days are like, remember I live in a state that has almost 6 months of winter (late october to april/may) What does 3c translate to in farenheit??

everyone,for your kind thoughts and well wishes about Gregs job lose.
Suzy,I am finding it very cold this morning too but I don't have to go outside just yet.
Suzanne..glad you are feeling much better today,hope it continues.
Gail..they shouldn't be allowed to cut your phone off without letting you know first.What if you had an emergency?No mobile either!

Hi Nola, thanks for the well wishes...Sorry about Greg's job, I will keep good thoughts for him to find another one. Don't know what the economy is like where you are, but if it is anything like here in the US, jobs are tough to find & hold now, so I'll say a prayer, ok?

Suzanne .... it translates to 37º F. Kinda cool.
I was born in Wisconsin. There we say that Wisconsin has 9 months of Winter, and 3 months of bad skiing weather. And I don't ski.

37F Suzanne, not cold by some standards, but censored cold by mine!

SNAP, Suzy!

Gath hasn't come on line yet to approve smilies and avatars.
Maybe in an hour or so?

Suzy/Heidi: Living in Utah for 5 years, I can relate to the cold...I wish I stayed in California when winter just drags on!!!!

Heidi: The Wisconsin comment about the skiing reminds me of how they describe Utah weather too!! Too funny!! There is a weather reporter out here who LOVES the winter, he skis, snownoards, etc... I don't ski either!

Another short visit from me.Enjoy your day everyone especially Shosho on her Aussie birthday.Bye.

Nola: sorry to see you leave so soon, guess you had ffuts to do...I'll be here for a bit longer (till the basketball game at 8:30 mountain time).

Hi Suzanne, hope you are feeling better.
Nola, hope things work out for Greg. Not an easy time.
Suzy, I do not mind the cold mornings as long as we get a nice warm day to follow. Bright and sunny here at the moment.
Hedi, will you sell some of the finches if you have some good success with the breeding?

Yes I will. I could overpopulate too easily.

Good evening everyone. Glad to see some many people posting. I did not have a chance on Sunday. Dylan's surprise was a hand made card. He needed dad to help him spell some of the big words. The boys made my day special. We also went to my niece's first birthday party. It was fun watching her smash up her cake. There was a big one to share and a little one just for her.

Nola, hope Greg finds something soon. I will be keeping you both in my thoughts.

Hi June!! Yes, feeling MUCH better, still a bit congested though...stayed in bed late (for me) this morning...hubby fed dog, got coffee going, etc!! He can be SO nice when he knows I don't feel well...

Good morning everyone! Hope you're all happy and healthy. Nothing much happening here (yet!)
Guess I should go and do some krow - but that's awfully boring! ;)

Just passing ( busy day ~ again !!)

Good Morning everyone

Good morning lovely people - hello Rolanda, Judy, Suzanne, Tami, Heidi, June, Nola, Suzy, MizT, Stella, Vici, Brenda, Bean etc - Gail, Broni, Julie, Kathi, nice to see Aimee around. Hope you all have a wonderful day/night.
Now that I've tried to remember everybody and no doubt have forgotten someone, I can't remember what I was going to comment on.
Don't forget the guessing game (in forum) for Jill and Karen's babies.

I think we have a CRAFTs epidemic going on here.

Not me, Heidi, I never forget any..., any..., umm, what were we talking about? ;)

How is the family history going Judy? I started collecting info about 30 years ago but it is much easier to do now. I did talk to some of the 'oldies' then and collected all the certificates that were available.
We have also visited a lot of the areas in England and Nova Scotia from where they came.
It was graet fun in the records office in London going through the large hand written books. But now you can get all that through sitting at the computer!

CRAFT's is also known as CRS--Can't Remember S&*t!! I have suffered from (enjoyed it???) for several years now

Good morning all,
Many thanks to everyone for all your warm welcome wishes. I look forward to catching up with you all over the pages. It may take me a minute or two to come out of my shell.

I'm off to feed dogs, then to bed. I need to leave at 9 am to meet the guy with the finches.
