AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION ALERT DAY

American Diabetes Association Alert Day is observed annually on the fourth Tuesday in March. This one-day “wake-up call” informs the American public about the seriousness of diabetes and encourages all to take the diabetes risk test and learn about your family’s history of diabetes.

Diabetes Facts:

Diabetes impacts approximately 34.2 million Americans. That’s about 10.5 percent of the U.S. population.

Of those living with diabetes, 7.3 million – 1 in 7 adults – don’t know they have it.
The risk of developing diabetes increases with age. But there are other factors, too. Ethnic background may increase your risk.

An additional 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes each year.
There are two types of diabetes. While Type 1 diabetes is not as preventable, it can be managed well with insulin injections. Managing Type 1 diabetes might also require frequent blood sugar monitoring, eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Education is key to learning how to manage symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. However, type 2 is much more preventable, and some actions can be taken.

Ways to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes:
Eliminate sugar and refined carbs
Work out regularly and avoid a sedentary lifestyle
Make water the primary beverage
Maintain a healthy weight
Quit smoking
Eat a high fiber diet
Optimize Vitamin D levels
Take natural herbs, such as curcumin and berberine, that increase insulin sensitivity
Type 2 diabetes is not preventable for everyone. However, making healthy choices provides the best chance of not getting it. In the United States, 9 out of every 10 cases of diabetes can be avoided if the above lifestyle changes are implemented. Families, schools, workplaces, communities, and healthcare providers can all work together to make healthy choices easier.

The observance encourages you to discover if you or your loved ones are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Consider taking this fast and easy Diabetes Risk Test.

Good afternoon in Ohio Loaf I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday. 🎈😎

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida Xango may this day find you doing well. Happy Easter and welcome
to Spring. 🎈💕😎

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I am a little shaken this morning
as I was walking Poppy near a street a little squirrel was trying to cross the street and a
car hit and killed him. I have never seen a critter actually hit in real time. I let out a scream
there was nothing to be done and the car drove away. I went home and called animal control.
This is so sad. Poppy saw it too it was raining a bit and the wind is cold today in OZ.

I am coming out of it I had a headache all day yesterday it finally went away. 😎🎈

Oodie how are you today? I am going to watch Heidi Daus in a few minutes.

Let me know how your day goes. Oodie I do hope we hear from Xango soon. 🎈💕

@sheba2011

Yesterday I had a phone call that the van was ready. Have not heard from them today about a ride. I surmise I will have to bite the bullet on this one.

Glad your headache has let up. Mine came again this morning and now feeling better. Will take a ride to Sam’s club on the way to rehab for gas.

Hubby has gained over 50 pounds in the past 6 months. Had a phone call from the Head Nurse who thinks it might be due to one of his meds. I noticed that he is always hungry and I thought it was because of the pituitary gland. From this day on, I will limit what I bring. He needs to get the weight off so he can stand on the good leg and maybe take a few steps as well. Guess I did too good of a job.

Sorry about the squirrel. So sad. Probably no way to avoid it in the rain. Thankfully, you have Poppy on a leash and are with him at all times. Well, it’s that time for me to get ready to see hubby. Hope you have a great day. I had a chance to watch HD. As always, it was fun. I had to
hit my hand a number of times not to use the mouse to purchase. As it stands right now, I will have a huge bill in a few days. We are paying out of pocket for hubby’s stay at the rehab.

@oodiebom,

Sorry about the Van I hope they finish with it and soon.

Your hubby gained weight I see from meds that can be concerning.

Oodie his care is very expensive my dad was in a health care facility one of the
best in Kansas and his care was well over 4,000.00 a month I know it’s even more
now.

Keep those hands in your lap. I am enjoying Heidi so much it’s good to hear her laugh
and I love the presentation. 🌹✨

I hope you rest well tonight. Thank you for understanding my feelings about the critter. ✨

@sheba2011

I think the meds hubby was on was the protein drink. He hated that drink and I know he will not miss it. Hubby has never been this high weight wise. It will be weeks before he is down enough for the therapy to start again. I will be checking on those rides for those in wheelchairs or carts.; I just need to know what they charge. He really needs a lift and I know he would love to see the new Farmer’s Market. It will be a nice break from rehab.

The van is done. I just need to have a ride to the dealership. They were supposed to contact me this afternoon. I did call them and left voice mail. I had problems with Uber when hubby took sick in Savannah as we were heading North. I will NEVER use them. Worse part, there was no way to contact customer service. Only the employees had a way. LYFT was the same way. However, I had a fantastic driver and I would have loved contacting their customer service. This driver went up and above.

So sorry about the squirrel. I felt for you and your concern. Last Friday I witnessed a vehicle that was driving too fast and hit a puppy that was crossing the street. The pup was hit twice, but managed to get up and make a mad dash towards home. I hope he/she is OK. The driver never stopped. i tried to get the license plate, but he drove away too fast for me to catch it. I was going to make the left turn to make sure the pup was able to get home. He may have been a stray. Had no collar or leash. There was another dog at the curb. He was barking as he ran, so I know he was hurt. When I left hubby, I did retrace the area and went up the street. Did the same the next day. Nothing. Again, I hope he/she is OK and got the help he/she needed. Lastly, I hope it survived.

I postponed the delivery of the dishwasher. The new date is April 5th. I received an e-mail from the dispatcher and in the note it gave me their phone number and two e-mail addresses. I called and left two messages and followed up with two -emails. There was no reply. So today I contacted Costco and explained the situation. The person I spoke with said he would contact the people and put me on hold. When he returned, he said everything was taken care of. I asked for an e-mail to show the new date. I’m still waiting. I will check my order in a few minutes to see if there was a date change. If nothing, there will be another call tomorrow and I suppose a 10 minute wait time.

What a day this has been. Time to rest. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better and saner day. Oh, by the way, the moon was dressed in yellow tonight. Absolutely beautiful. And, last week I purchased HD’s Dragon. The price was reduced and I contacted CS using Chat. All taken care of. Love saving $$.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California Taci enjoy your time with your friend. 🎈😘

My Heart Will Go On
Song by Celine Dion

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go ’til we’re gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I’d hold to
In my life, we’ll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on (why does the heart go on?)
Once more, you open the door
And you’re here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You’re here, there’s nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

I Don’t Know How to Love Him
Yvonne Elliman

I don’t know how to love him
What to do, how to move him
I’ve been changed, yes, really changed
In these past few days when I’ve seen myself
I seem like someone else

I don’t know how to take this
I don’t see why he moves me
He’s a man, he’s just a man
And I’ve had so many men before
In very many ways
He’s just one more

Should I bring him down?
Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I’d come to this
What’s it all about?

Don’t you think it’s rather funny
I should be in this position?
I’m the one who’s always been
So calm so cool, no lover’s fool
Running every show
He scares me so

I Don’t Know How To Love Him
I never thought I’d come to this
What’s it all about?

Yet if he said he loved me
I’d be lost, I’d be frightened
I couldn’t cope, just couldn’t cope
I’d turn my head, I’d back away
I wouldn’t want to know
He scares me so
I want him so
I love him so

@xango,

Good day in Florida I hope this Monday will be a fresh start for you.
We are here when you can post. All the best. 💕😘

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I have a heck of a headache woke up with it.
Here in OZ our pollen count is high so whatever is causing it I hope it goes far far away.

Oodie I hope things are going well for you. Perhaps we will hear from Xango when the
time is right. Oodie it could be anything I am just hoping for the best.

Oodie enjoy this Spring weather. 😎

@sheba2011

Hope you are feeling better. Lately, I can really feel your pain having the same problem. Friday was the first time it aff ected my eyes. Blurry vision. Stayed home rather than drive to see hubby. Called the doctor’s office only to find that they were closed for the day. OK now and realized that it was a weather change. Been Ok since Saturday.

Well, after a wait time of 3 1/2 months, received a phone call that the van is ready. However, I will need a ride to get to the dealership. This happens to be not their policy, though I was told they could do it when the car was towed to them. Unfortunately, that person was fired and the reason was for giving false information. I will figure something out.

Hubby was in real good spirits. However, I was late in getting there. Went down the road for the rehab only to come to a dead stop as soon as I turned the corner. There were four fire engines, 6 police cars and two or three EMT vehicles. The Fire Engine behind me made it so I could not turn around. Finally saw a policeman and I explained where I was going. They actually moved two vehicles so I could go down a road and then make a turn towards the rehab. I thought someone had fallen since most of the vehicles were parked in front of a house. As it turned out, there was an auto accident. One car was completely turned over and the other had so much damage to the front end that I wonder if anyone was alive. I did see one person sitting upright on a stretcher. Luckily, the hospital is only a mile from the accident and hopefully the people are OK.. This road is narrow. Have no idea how this accident happened. Not enough room for racing. When I left hubby I used this road for the return. Everything was cleared. You would never know an accident happened. No glass around.

On this note, will now get ready for some sleep. Here’s hoping for a better day tomorrow for all.
Pleasant dreams.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I have a huge headache woke up with it.
It’s small and it’s going away just not fast enough. LOL!

Wishing you a nice Monday oh I have lot’s of HD I am trying to be good.
I am getting a couple of pins you can’t go wrong with her pins.

I am looking forward to seeing her here on HSN tomorrow. I think all of us Heidi Girls
are looking forward to seeing her. 😎💕🎈

I did add some new items on the Heidi Daus Thread. 🎈💕

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Sheba, oh, sorry you have a headache. Thinking our Spring will also bring lots of beauty and allergies. Well, had a coyote encounter today going down a hill, so I back tracked slowly and it was still there and observing me. As soon as I could, I ran up the farthest side of the hill. My face was all red by the time I got back to the car. It’s pup season now so who knows what we will start to see on the trails. Still enjoyed myself though.
Bummed I can’t watch Heidi tomorrow. Ugh, have lunch plans. But I will watch Wednesday for sure. Enjoy the Shows, and yah, about time huh?

@taci,

I posted an updated schedule of her two days here on HSN. I hope you are able to
catch it. Taci I remember when all the girls would get their drinks and in their jammies
and we all had fun watching Heidi with a terrific host and they all were terrific. 😎❤️

I am going to get me some goodies I think Greek Yogurt and bottle water and just
relax. I will post new items as HSN uploads them. 💕

Taci that Coyote encounter would make me move a lot faster. Stay safe out there.

When HSN Jessica Simpson lived in the Hills there her dog was snatched by a Coyote
and she was left crying and her baby was never found this was years ago.

Enjoy a bit of tea. My headache is easing up we are raining as I type this note. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈I hope Monday is going well for you.
How is your mom and sister?

Take it easy if your weather is funny like OZ.

Hey sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 🎈💕I hope Holy Week will be great. 😘❤️

@sheba2011

Good Monday afternoon to you. Hope your headache is better from this morning.🤯 We have a high pollen count also and I’ve been sneezing.😤 Never a dull moment.

Today is actually very nice. Sunny and around 60.🌞 Tonight and tomorrow some rain. Sis leaves tomorrow so I’ll be running for a couple weeks.🏃‍♀️

Any special plans for Easter?🐰 I’ll be taking mom to church and after we will go to lunch. Pretty much the same as last year.

Enjoy your day, hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I feel like crying with your sister leaving. Just post when you have time
I understand. I want you to enjoy this holy week. 🎈😎💕

Hubby and I will have Easter service with small family members. We are eating out or I may cater
I am not cooking. I have always cooked big meals for holidays I want some time to myself.

My head is easing up with the pain. The pollen was very high and going in and out with
the animals does not help. I will still do what I need to do for them. 💕

Like this thread it is a labor of love. 💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and may this Monday be a good holy week for you. 🎈

Sheba, Thank You! so much for your kind words and remembering my mom.
You are so right I miss her dearly.And, I know you miss your dear dad.Big hug to you!
Have a Happy Easter. I leave Thursday and can’t wait. Wishing you many blessings!xo

@jmc1385,

Loaf I hope you made it to Mass today. I went very early. 💕 Enjoy this Palm Sunday.

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. Xango I hope this Palm Sunday finds you and your family
doing well. We all miss ya. 😎💕😘 Take care dear friend.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie how are you and your husband
doing today? I know you are doing things around the house and then some.

Oz is very cloudy almost dark and the rain will start again soon.

Things turned out well for me I found some Dragon Fruit. Oodie very hard to find
in these parts. 💕

Let me know how things are going if you are up to it. I hope we hear from Xango soon.
Yeah we all are very concerned at this point.

@sheba2011

Yes, I am concerned about xango. It’s not like her not to say Hi even when there is nothing to add.
I do know the area she lives in, but not where. When we were able to e-mail within Community, there always seemed to be a response of sorts. But since we no longer have that luxury, it is impossible to know what is happening. I sure hope we hear something soon so we can be there for her whatever the reason. I so hope everything is OK.

Hubby is doing good. We had quite a few laughs when the aid was in the room. Hubby was in bed when I arrived. He was in the wheelchair earlier. Anyway, he was way down towards the foot of the bed and when the aid came in he said he liked where he was. Neither of us were impressed. So, he raised the bed and the foot area and the next response had us rolling on the floor. He decided to do a backstroke to get to the other end. It was hilarious. Picture someone doing a backstroke and then boxing and pretending to row a boat. He is not a dancer. nor is he graceful, but the combination of these had us laughing our full heads off. I left soon after. It was after 10 pm.

The ride home was windy and cool. The rain event was over and the stars were out. Could not find the moon. I guess it took the night off. Anyway, I made all but one light and so it only took about 20 minutes. I had stopped at the Farmer’s Market prior. I had an ice pak in the car just in case. They had added a new thing to their takeout. Oven baked chicken. I decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious it was. Hubby ate two good sized drumsticks.
They did have dragon fruit. Price was $2,99/lb. This is the only place that it can be found. Not many people like it, though I found it pares well with blueberries and some dinner items such as lamb, chicken and pork. I’m not ruling out lamb since I haven’t tried it. I actually find that adding fruit to any dish adds flavor.

Hope you three stay warm. Are the kitties using your outdoor shed when the weather is bad????

@oodiebom,

Good evening I have been out feeding the outdoor animals. I want to make sure they
are fed. Oz will rain all night and day. Oodie sometimes they do go into the little shelter
hubby, son and I built. 🎈

I am deeply concerned about Xango and I miss her. Well tomorrow is another day.

I am getting the sniffles again due to extreme weather changes and going in and out.
We do not have full Spring here yet I don’t think any State has that just yet.

Glad your husband is well. I am about to jump into the shower.

Oodie stay warm and safe my friend. 😘

HD will be here Tuesday on HSN. 😎

@taci,

Sheba, no walk today. I was tired, cleaned the windows and added some covers to 2 of them. Looks much better. We are prepping for the next phase of our security. Ugh.
Hope you enjoyed Palm Sunday.
Since you asked, I have been obsessing you know where and bought 2 more bracelets (hugs from Heidi) , so that I can wear 3 together ( already have one). Don’t even try to temp with those lovely earrings posted. 🙂 I like them also. I am trying to be practical and have gotten rid of some older items no longer worn. I don’t want to store items if you know what i mean.
What about you Queenshebadaus? I keep seeing Oodies set (Duchess).

Reconnecting With Friends

When fate brings old friends back into our lives, there is always a reason.
Every person that passes through our lives makes a contribution to our life stories. There are those who play large roles and make deep impressions, but sometimes a brief special appearance creates a meaningful connection before life takes them in another direction. It is a rare gift when old friends suddenly reappear in our lives after a long absence.

Though the world may seem full of more people than we could ever know, we are often drawn to people with similar energy, which brings us together time and time again. On first meeting, the characters in our life stories may seem familiar. We may know each other from past lives, or perhaps, we merely recognize the energy of a kindred spirit. But when fate brings old friends back into our lives, there is always a reason. They may act as messengers, reminding us of a part of ourselves we have forgotten to nurture. They might appear to give us a chance to react in a new way to an old situation. They may even bring up unresolved issues so that we may complete them, giving us the chance to move forward on our life path. Whether old friends, previous romances, or once and future partners, their reappearance is more than mere chance. They may never know what they bring into our lives, but the renewed contact is a gift.

If this hasn’t happened to you, maybe you are meant to initiate contact by seeking out old friends. If old friends come to mind or into your dreams, use their appearance as an excuse to get in touch. If an old song or movie reminds you of them, reach out to share the gift of renewed contact. Wherever you fall in the circle of connection and reconnection, be sure to look beyond the surprise of the moment to enjoy the deeper gift that this revelation brings.

On March 23rd, National Puppy Day celebrates the unconditional love and affection puppies bring to our lives!

On March 23rd, National Chia Day recognizes the tiny, yet powerful chia seed that has earned its reputation as being one of the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet!

Our weather is the same, very windy and cold.🌪🥶 Rained last night into this morning, a little sun peeking through right now.🌞 High today is 38 but we will be mostly low 60’s next week. Like I said before, we had spring in winter now winter in spring.🙄

Hang in there with all your running around.🏃‍♀️ Hugs to you and Poppy.

The rain is about to start and will go full throttle until Tuesday. I am glad we have not
planted yet. I worry about the outdoor animals they don’t like rain especially cats.

Enjoy your evening I am going to put on the fireplace tonight.

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio Loaf wishing you and your four daughters a great Spring Weekend. 🎈😎

Miss ya. 😘

I think the kiddies will love these cupcakes. 💕🎈

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida you are missed dear friend and we all hope everything
is going well. Let us know when you can.

Here is some fresh bread for your morning coffee. 😘💕

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie how are you today?

I hope you are not affected by any food reaction. How is your husband?

I will be here off and on today OZ is about to have some rain and it will last all weekend.

Oodie let me know how things are going. 🎈😎

@sheba2011

Hi and a good afternoon. We are getting some much needed rain. Expecting at least an inch. However the aches and pains say we may be in for more storms. For the past couple of days I have been hit with migraines, Guess it’s the upcoming storms in Texas and beyond. Luckily, aspirin is helping.

Hubby is doing OK. He is trying to lose weight from all the food I brought. At least he is over the hump of not eating. Saw my first rainbow this year yesterday afternoon. All is well.

Oops. Just saw lightning. I will be getting off. Take care.

I have a feeling that something may have happened to xango or her hubby. I just hope these feelings are wrong……..

@oodiebom,

Oz is cold tonight I am going to shower and get under the covers. I have made sure the
animals outside are fed.

So said about Princess Catherine having cancer. Oodie I can never forget when I heard
those words and I will not have an all clear under December. I know how she feels especially
with young children. Prayers for her and her family.

Drive safe. 😎😘

@taci,

Good Taci in S. California. I hope the morning is going well for you. 😎🎈
Glad you have a friend to hike with and yes it does go better with someone.

If I am deep in thought and really need the sun and air it can go by just as fast. 🎈

I am loving all the HD I brought and the Green is so pretty.

I hope you like all your pieces.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I know you will miss your sister and she is a great sister.
Lady so are you. 😘💕

Oz is very cloudy today I see birds and that’s about it.

Wishing you a good day are you having Fish from the Church today? We will be
having Salmon and the fixing. 💕

Hey sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 🎈😘💕I love doing and saying this to you.

@sheba2011

Good evening to you. This day just flew by, I blinked and it was after 5:00. Started watching the hockey game – had to leave, too boring plus they’re losing.😣

We did not get fish from the church today. Wanted something different so I bought some crab cakes at the fish market and baked them with some potatoes and a veggie.🥔🥦 Hubs really liked them so I’ll get more for next Friday or whenever.

So surprised about Princess Kate, I will keep her in my prayers 🙏 along with you and my friend’s husband.

Nothing else planned this weekend. I think I will do a little baking tomorrow, it’s been a while since I made a cake or cookies.🧁🍪 Sending love and hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten I hope this Friday finds you doing well. 🎈😎

Jackie Blue
Song by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of her room
Hides a smile when she’s wearin’ a frown
Ooh, Jackie you’re not so down
You like your life in a free-form style
You’ll take an inch but you’d love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your lovin’ cup
Ooh, Jackie Blue
What’s a game girl, if you never lose?
Ask a winner and you’ll probably find
Ooh, Jackie they’ve lost at sometime
Don’t try to tell me that you’re not aware
Of what you’re doing and that you don’t care
You say it’s easy, just a natural thing
Like playing music, but you never sing
Ooh, Jackie Blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places that you’ve never been
Ooh, Jackie Blue, you’re going again
Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives a dream that can never come true
Making love is like sifting through sand
Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand
Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sunset but I don’t see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You’d take the world but you won’t take the time
Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Makes you think that her life is a drag
Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie

Owner of a Lonely Heart
Song by Yes

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that’s the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You’re every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say, you don’t want to chance it
You’ve been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin’ one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity’s sake
There’s no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You’ve got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision
They confused me so
Owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you’ve got to go
Look before you leap
Owner of a lonely heart
And don’t you hesitate at all, no no
Yow!
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
It will excite, it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don’t deceive your free will at all
Don’t deceive your free will at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Don’t deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it
(Owner of a lonely heart)

Jessie’s Girl
Song by Rick Springfield

Jessie is a friend
Yeah, I know, he’s been a good friend of mine
But lately something’s changed that ain’t hard to define
Jessie’s got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
And she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah, and he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
I’ll play along with the charade
There doesn’t seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot
‘Cause she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s loving him with that body, I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman-
Where can I find a woman like that?
And I’m looking in the mirror all the time
Wonderin’ what she don’t see in me
I’ve been funny, I’ve been cool with the lines
Ain’t that the way love’s supposed to be?
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I want Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I want, I want Jessie’s girl

You Wear It Well
Song by Rod Stewart

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
I’ve been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
it’s been a very long time
You wear it well
A little old fashioned but that’s all right
Well I suppose you’re thinking I bet he’s sinking
Or he wouldn’t get in touch with me
Oh, I ain’t begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
There ain’t a lady in the land so fine
Remember them basement parties, your brother’s karate
The all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical views
Haven’t left a mark on you, you wear it well
A little out of time but I don’t mind
But I ain’t forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin’
Now I’m eatin’ my heart out
Tryin’ to get a letter through
Since you’ve been gone it’s hard to carry on
I’m gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it’s worth
You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you
Anyway, my coffee’s cold and I’m getting told
That I gotta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you’re home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well
I don’t object if you call collect
‘Cause I ain’t forgetting that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin’
Now I’m eatin’ my heart out tryin’ to get back to you
After all the years I hope it’s the same address
Since you’ve been gone it’s hard to carry on

@loaf,

Good day sweet friend hoping this Spring Season will bring you joy and fun. 🎈😎
Loaf we are in our 10th year of this thread. Loaf I want you to know in the beginning
and still I could not have done it without you and the girls. 😘

Love ya. 😘😎

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. Xango you are on everyone’s mind all we want to know if
you are doing alright since your fall. Hey just post when you are able.

Happy Spring and I miss our little banter. 😘🎈Enjoy your coffee and fresh rolls.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon in Florida. I hope your day is going well. OZ is chilly but sunny. 😎🎈

I know you are busy I think we all are this is Spring. Take some time for yourself.

Let me know how your husband is doing.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Taci thank you for the congrats shout out on the 10th
anniversary of this thread. Taci it does take work and imagination to put all this together
it is a labor of love and I have my father to thank. I miss my father so much these are tender
times as his birthday is next month. 💕I do all this with the touch of my keyboard I plan
nothing everything just comes to me it’s my feelings and what is going on around me.

I love your HEIDI DAUS® “Cleopatra’s Collar” Crystal Cicada Bracelet. 😘😎💕
Taci you have great taste.

I also want to say it is so nice to meet you too all those years ago and not just this thread
I remember the Sparkle Sisters. 🎈

Hey enjoy your friend and Happy Trails. 🎶🎶

Sheba, You have great taste and the 2 items you posted are a great combo. I’m thinking of one more item, darn. It’s all so tempting. My walk was fun, about 2 hours. My friend is always very chatty and our conversations flow well. We walked again today. haha. Time goes fast that way.

Sorry you are missing your Dad so much.

Happy 10 years again. Your note was very sweet. I imagine it takes time and energy to have done this for so long. You really do a great job. Thank you for all you do!

Read your post with Shoelady. I do not iron sheets but always ironed my sons clothes before school, especially if it was cold so they were warm and toasty for him.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Lady you post just fine. 😎🎈 Oz is a bit chilly but we have
the sun and this weekend we will have the rain.

We are bone dry here in OZ so rain is a welcome relief.

I hope you enjoy your visit with your mom and sister. 😎

Hey we have a lot in common when it comes to chores around the house. I think Ironing
is the one I don’t like the most. I iron my cotton sheets for that smooth silky feeling. 💕😎
The size is a king and that takes a bit of time. I do the bottom and top and all the pillow cases.

I tell you what my bed feels like heaven once all is done. I remember my grandmother and mom ironing sheets.

Enjoy this day sending Spring Hugs to you and Jake. 😎💕🎈

@sheba2011

Oz has the same weather as the ‘burgh, sunny but cold. It was 24 when I got up this morning.🥶

I remember my mom ironing sheets while she watched soap operas. She even had a little shaker with water to dampen them. I also have a king bed but I do not iron my sheets. Since I hate ironing, I only iron what others may see.👀

Hubs had lunch with his sister while I was at mom’s so I only have to cook dinner for me. I think soup and/or grilled cheese sounds easy enough.🥣🍞🧀 Mom was in her slow mood today so we just looked at pics from the cruise. She was mad her soap opera wasn’t on because of the NCAA basketball tournament.😣

That’s about it for my Thursday. Sending back Spring hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Oz will be cold tonight I am going to jump in the shower Perlier/Korres. 😎💕

I am wishing you a nice night. 😘

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten wishing you a beautiful Spring.
