@loaf,

Enjoy this beautiful Spring weather. 😎🎈💕

@xango,

Good day in Florida wishing you and hubs a nice Wednesday. 🎈😎
I hope the little critters are doing well.

Oz is cloudy but nice. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Enjoy your shopping trip today.

I do hope your Aide recovers soon.

OZ is very nice today a bit cloudy but alright. 😎

@sheba2011

Have no idea what is happening with the aide. I tried texting to his wife and she never responded. Suffice to say that the receptionist at the rehab said he was very sick. Meanwhile, there was all new help except for one RN. I have no idea what is happening at the rehab. People are still either quitting or fired. Everything is mum.

I didn’t go shopping as planned. There is one thing missing for taxes and that is a 1099 form. I have spent two days going through boxes of papers and then some to no avail. Guess I will send everything off without it. Then again, the taxes may have been taken a few years ago and that paperwork is North.

Hope to get to Costco today. It is actually a beautiful day with temps in the mid 80s already. No rain is expected and we certainly could use a few drops. The plants will need to wait until tomorrow for watering and planting. After tomorrow I will be using the old fashioned way, the watering can.😀😎👓🕶

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Very sorry to hear about the Aide I do hope he
recovers quickly.

Oz is cloudy and we may have rain we are very dry now. I will not add new plants until
next month we have a cold spell coming at us.

I hope you are able to get out of the house for your shopping. I am multi-tasking today. 😎

I would be very concerned about all the new changes too.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and enjoy this beautiful Spring Day. 😎🎈

My plans are to go for a long nice walk and enjoy the season.

I am doing a bit of spring cleaning as well.

Here is to Happy Trails I hope you see a lot of beauty today. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. 😎🎈💕Lady how are you feeling today? If you need
an extra day of rest please do so. I am so glad your hubby can step up when needed. 💕

Please take it easy. Lady any plans for your mother’s birthday?

I think she is amazing and I hope your sister is back to celebrate with all of you. 🎈😎

Sending loving hugs to you and Jake. 💕🎈

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. Feeling much better today, thanks. We actually had some snow flurries flying around this morning.❄ Hard to tell what season it is.

Not sure yet what we will do for mom’s BD. Need to talk to sis when she gets back next week. I know we will go out for a nice dinner. We do that for everyone’s BD.

Hope your SIL is feeling a little better.🤞🙏 God is watching over her and the family.

Have a relaxing evening, spring hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening and thank you for posting I am glad all is well with you. 😎
The family is doing alright tonight.

Wishing you a wonderful night I have my tub running and I am going to soak.
I’ve had a busy day.

Goodnight sweet friend. 💕

@kittengirl,

Kitten good morning in California and may this day find you doing well. 😎🎈

Philadelphia Freedom
Song by Elton John

I used to be a rolling stone, you know
If a cause was right
I’d leave, to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beatin’ for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say, the more my work gets done
‘Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born, I’ve waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man, yeah
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me, I love ya
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light, shine the light
Shine the light, won’t you shine the light?
Philadelphia freedom, I love ya
Yes, I do
If you choose to you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city (some people choose the city)
Some others choose the good old family home
(Some others choose the good old family home)
I like living easy without family ties (’cause it’s easy)
‘Til the whip or will of freedom zapped me, right between the eyes
‘Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born, I’ve waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man, mmh-mmh
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me, I love ya
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light, shine the light
Shine the light, won’t you shine the light?
Philadelphia freedom, I love ya
Yes, I do
Oh, Philadelphia freedom
Shine on me, I love ya
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind, mmh
Shine a light, shine the light
Shine the light, won’t you shine the light?
Philadelphia freedom, I love ya
You know, I love you, yeah
You know, I love you
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia freedom)
I love you, yes I do!
(Philadelphia freedom) you know that I love you
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia) oh (freedom)
Don’t you know that I love you?
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia freedom)
Don’t you know that I love you?
Yes, I do! (Philadelphia) oh, oh (freedom)
Don’t you know that I love you?

Elton John Lyrics
“Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”

I can’t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growing tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can’t find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don’t discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal

Don’t let the sun go down on me
(Don’t let the sun)
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
(Don’t let the sun)
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don’t let the sun go down on me
(Don’t let the sun)
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, yeah
(Don’t let the sun)
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Respect
Song by Aretha Franklin

What you want
Baby, I got it
What you need
Do you know I got it?
All I’m askin’
Is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(Just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)
I ain’t gonna do you wrong while you’re gone
Ain’t gonna do you wrong ’cause I don’t wanna
All I’m askin’
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
I’m about to give you all of my money
And all I’m askin’ in return, honey
Is to give me my propers
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah, baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
Ooh, your kisses
Sweeter than honey
And guess what?
So is my money
All I want you to do for me
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re, re)
Yeah baby (re, re, re, re)
Whip it to me (respect, just a little bit)
When you get home, now (just a little bit)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB
Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin’ (just a little bit)
You’re runnin’ out of fools (just a little bit)
And I ain’t lyin’ (just a little bit)
(Re, re, re, re) when you come home
(Re, re, re, re) ‘spect
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I’m gone (just a little bit)

TOLKIEN READING DAY

Celebrated around the world on March 25th, Tolkien Reading Day is a favorite among fans of the renowned author.

J.R.R. Tolkien (Jan. 3, 1892 – Sept. 2, 1973) was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor. He was best known as the author of the classic works The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarrillion as well as Roverandom and Farmer Giles of Ham. However, he has published more than 30 books, several posthumously. The author has sold more than 150 million copies of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and that number continues to grow.

The day encourages readers of all ages to explore the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien and learn more about the author. With over 30 published works, he had a lot to say and not just about hobbits, though many are on medieval order.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Song by Elton John

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can’t hold me forever
I didn’t sign up with you
I’m not a present for your friends to open
This boy’s too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah
What do you think you’ll do then?
I bet they’ll shoot down the plane
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you’ll get a replacement
There’s plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Song by Aretha Franklin

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
You’re the key
To my piece of mind
‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I’m no longer doubtful
Of what I’m livin’ for
And if I make you happy
I don’t need to do more
‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
Oh baby, what ya done to me
(Whatcha done to me)
Made me feel so good inside
(Good inside)
And I just wanna be close to you
(Wanna be)
You make me feel so alive
‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)

@loaf,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I hope this is a good day for you.
I am a bit busy keeping my mind off of things. OZ has the Sun today. 🎈😎

I am glad things are going well at the Rehab for your husband.

Oodie how are you feeling today? Please don’t over do anything. 😎

@sheba2011

So nice to be able to use the dishwasher. I will be redoing all the cabinets. It should take almost no time to put everything in ship shape order. The hardest part for me is using the step ladder to reach the upper shelves. I am so afraid of heights especially when there is nothing to hang on to. At least now I know where everything is going. The only thing I won’t be touching are the ceiling lights and fans. I do have a thing-a-mig-jig for doing the fans. But changing light bulbs???? The
electrician said to make a phone call, it’s part of our contract. I wonder???

Our favorite aide is not well. He may be hospitalized. I will find out more tomorrow since I know how to reach them. I know he had a terrible fall in the rehab several months ago and his back has been giving him problems. He has to lift patients from wheelchair to bed with no help near by. I do know the feeling. Today was the first better day. Only the knees were bothersome.

I ordered AAnthony’s sweater with the pictures on the back. It’s about a size or two too large. However, it is definitely for layering. The rehab gets real cold at night and my sweaters do not compensate. However, this is like a sweatshirt and will go over anything I”m wearing. I actually ordered two. The one that is like a lime green was delivered today. The back has a print of an elephant with handler. It so reminds me of our trip to Pakistan. The other is blue with cloud like artistry. That one will be delivered either tomorrow or the next day.

Today was cloudy. No rain. Temps in the mid 70s with humidity. Tomorrow a trip to Sam’s Club and Costco. Since I was looking for one missing item for the taxes, it was not mailed today. Tomorrow, maybe. Going to get ready for some shut eye. Have a pleasant evening.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon I hope you have a pleasant day. Sorry to hear about your favorite Aide
I hope he recovers soon.

Have fun shopping look for deals.

Please be careful on the ladders I am glad you are feeling well. 🎈😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈I did read your post from last night. 💕

I have been looking at HD too just looking that’s all because everyone knows I have
a rather large collection still it’s fun to peep. 💕😎

Taci enjoy the trails today I am going for a nice long walk I need the fresh air.
I am soaked in memories of family and I just need to breathe. 😎

Stay safe out there.

Sheba, Hope you had a great walk. Being outside does calm the nerves. The friend I told you about said walking really helped her with anxiety.
Love looking as well just not accumulating as much. That’s why I donated. Someone else can enjoy it. If I had to guess, I’d say you could wear 1 piece a day for at least a year 🙂 I think about stuff like this because when I worked in an office some women I know tried to go as long as they could without repeating an outfit. Usually it wasn’t more than a month but still that’s a lot of office clothes. 🙂
Take care Sheba.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎💕🎈😘I know this is Mom Tuesday. 💕

Take your time and enjoy a little treat when you get home.

Oz is beautiful today and I am enjoying it all. 😎

Sending warm spring hugs to you and Jake. 😘🎈

@sheba2011

Happy Tuesday afternoon (Moody Blues) to you. I did not feel well yesterday, something did not agree with my stomach.😣 Maybe something I ate? Feel a little better today so I think I’ll have some eggs and toast for dinner, nothing heavy.🍳🍞

Sunny but cool and windy. In the 50’s and should be in the 70’s over the weekend. Any news on T & T? They have done a good job hiding out lately.

Hubs went to mom’s today to help her with a few things since I am not 100%. She has really become dependent on sis over the last year. I changed her alarm clock last Friday and she just noticed it yesterday.😄 Have to think of something for her 95th next month.

Enjoy your walk with your boy this evening. Prayers for the family🙏, lot of hugs from me and Jake.🤗💖

Shoelady, Hope you feel better soon!

@shoelady60,

Good evening I hear T&T are in Montana enjoying a little getaway. 💕🎈Soon they
will arrive on Kansas soil.

I hope you feel better soon so glad your husband is helping your mom. YAY! 💕🎈

Just rest and I will make you something that may help your tummy.

Enjoy and rest well. 😎💕 Thank you for the shout out.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a wonderful Tuesday. 🎈😎😘

Few people know that magnolias, with their majestic beauty and delicate fragrance, are older than bees. These spectacular flowers date back some 95 million years, making them among the oldest flowering plants to survive to this day.

In an era when bees did not even exist, magnolias were already blooming on Earth. Without the help of these modern pollinators, they depended on beetles to ensure their reproduction. That is why their flowers are robust, with thick, waxy petals, able to withstand the “visits” of beetles, which, unlike bees, can be less delicate. Their strong structure is an evolutionary adaptation that has allowed them to thrive in an environment completely different from the one we know today.

Magnolias have gone through tumultuous geological eras, surviving mass extinctions and major climate changes. Over time, these flowers have become symbols of elegance and resistance, managing to preserve their charm and mystery over millions of years.

Today, magnolias delight the eye with their large, white or pink flowers, emanating a subtle fragrance that seems to tell a story as old as the world. Each flower is a living testimony to the past, a symbol of nature’s perseverance and timeless beauty.

When we admire a blooming magnolia, we see not just a decorative plant, but an open window to a prehistoric world, a memory of a time when flowers and insects were beginning their evolutionary dance. Magnolias are living proof that nature knows how to create works of art that withstand the test of time, remaining as impressive today as they were millions of years ago.

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida. 🎈😎💕Wishing you a wonderful new week.

Oz is cloudy with some light rain. I am doing well. 💕

I hope the bunnies are coming for your veggies. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎💕🎈Oodie how are you doing today.
My weekend was a tough one with all that is going on in my family.

I am sorry if I was a bit PO in my response to how your husband’s room mate talked
to you. My dad was in Hospice and I know how things are done or suppose to be done.
I miss my father everyday and to see people talk to people like that just gets to me.

I will say this don’t try that with my family we will teach them some manners. 😎

Going forward I hope everything is in place for the new renovations with your home.
I am sorry you were not feeling well the other day. I try not to be wrapped up in my
own family problems I do pay attention to what people write and I try to respond in kind. 💕

Oodie the image above reminds me of one of your Asian trips. 💕

Enjoy this new Spring Week. Oz is cloudy with some light rain and I am fine with that. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

I am with hubby. All is quiet. It takes a while before I get rattled. But when I do, watch out. Sometimes it is better to let the person vent. This was the case until last week. There has been no
Peep from the peanut gallery since.

I pureed some food for hubs. I found homemade sausage from the farmer’s market. I cut it into small pieces. Added a tomato, dragon fruit, baked potato and papaya. Blended everything together. Took a smidgen to taste. Absolutely delicious. Next time I will make it into soup. I will be leaving here shortly. I was up until the wee hours this morning working on taxes. I spent most of the time looking for one missing piece. Found it this morning. It was an addendum to something else.

Have a great evening. It’s in the 70s as I type. No rain this week. Everything is bone dry.

@oodiebom,

Good evening I love your style and how you handled it. 😎❤️I just can’t stand good
people being yelled at and told what to do seems like everyone wants to control everything.

I feel better knowing you got this. 😎 I am grieving and trying to be careful with how I word
my posts.

Thank you for being here this is the kind of pain I wish on no one.
SIL is still stable for now.

Oodie drive safe and sleep well. ❤️

@taci,

Good morning in S. California dear friend and may this day finds you doing well. 😎🎈

Taci Spring is here but the chilly weather is not over just yet. I am fine with that as it
beats the ice and snow. 💕😘

Enjoy this new week with your family. 💕

Wishing you Happy Trails. 😎💕

Sheba, Hello and Happy Monday to you. All the flowers are just lovely!
I noticed someone had or has 40% off. You might laugh about this but I put 2 items in my cart, waited a while and removed them. I already had one of the items in 2 other colorways. 🙂
I still might jump. We will see. I donated another Patriotic Pin and earrings last month. I’m done with that for a while.
Hope this week is better for your family and your SIL continues to get well.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 💕😎🎈Lady how is your mother doing today?
Hey take your time but still have some fun.

I am making some Salmon and the works for dinner. I don’t feel like eating much.
I made a nice salad for hubby he loves his salads with red and orange peppers. 💕
The salad alone can be a meal as I add boiled eggs and shredded cheese to the mix.
I love the tomatoes and I like Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing.

Sending warm spring hugs to you and Jake. 😘❤️🎈

I am doing alright and I will be fine please keep my family in your prayers.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a wonderful new week. 😎🎈

Good day in beautiful Florida. I hope you are enjoying this nice Spring Day. 🎈😎💕
I appreciate your post and kind thoughts. I am getting there just taking it one day
at a time I have been saying that for a while and I mean it. 💕😎🎈

Oz is beautiful today after a nice rainfall during the night. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈💕Oodie my head feels better today.
I hope you are able to get all your shopping done.

OZ is nice today after the rain and I see the trees and flowers beginning to bloom. 💕😘

A couple of my niece and nephew have a birthday today so the family is celebrating. 🎈😎

Thank you again for all your support and understanding. 😘💕

I hope today you have a great visit with your husband.

@sheba2011

I try not to shop on the weekends. Long lines, no parking, etc. etc.. However, I may visit Sam’s Club tomorrow to look at planters and soil. I will be redoing the front of the house during the week. Most of our plants need watering. However, I am thinking about using container plants and some for the soil. Time to make a few changes.

I am finally able to use the dishwasher. Such a nice feeling. However, I, again, will be redoing all the cabinets since the dishwasher has a sanitize button. Oh, what fun 🙄🙄🙄. Clean Boss will again come to the rescue.

Hubby was asleep when I arrived late yesterday afternoon. However, I did make a little bit of noise and he opened his eyes and was all smiles. I made a baked potato for him and brought a
fish filet along with ice cream. He mentioned that “I was spoiling him.” But the amount of food he receives is not enough to feed my hubby. He ate the ice cream, tried the fish, and forgot I also brought a baked potato. Our favorite aide is working elsewhere in the Rehab. There are very few male aides, LPNs and RNs..I surmise this is one of the reasons why he is being moved to different areas.

Friday night I had some health issues while at the rehab. Hubby’s roommate was giving us a hard time saying for me to go home. I finally had enough and in a nice way , told him off. Hubby was amazed. I left after 11pm. To my amazement I saw a helicopter high in the sky as I walked to my car. It followed me home and didn’t leave until I started walking to my front door. I do not know if one of the nurse’s contacted the sheriff’s office or if my neighbor who works part time with them was concerned when I hadn’t arrived home before 10pm. . Whoever did so, it actually made me feel safer. The rehab is in a bad area and you can hear gun shots on the weekend.

It is a sunny day with temps in the low 70s as I type. Tomorrow we will be in the 80s. Just hope the humidity will remain low. Pollen count is very high.

Prayers for your SIL. May she start feeling a bit better as each day passes.

@oodiebom,

WHAT!! I can’t believe he told you to go home. Oodie if I was there he would eat those
words. Oodie your husband has been there too long how dare he say go home.

After I put him in his place he may wish to run home. I don’t like this and I don’t like
rude people.

I will write later this really bugs me. Who do he think he is?

I am glad you stayed never let anyone run you off that is your husband and it’s called
respect!

I need to log off now. Oodie have a good day. Glad the dishwasher is working. I am going
check my stash of Clean Boss and make sure I have plenty. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good evening I am calm now. I have to say your post about the room mate rattled me.
I still feel the way I do he should not disrespect your and your husband.

I had to calm down hubby was asking me all kinds of questions. People just think they
can say anything and it’s alright. I say STOP THAT!

I am going to settle down and I hope you have a marvelous day with your husband. 💕

Goodnight. 😘

@sheba2011

Thanks for trying to stick up for me. But, I told him where to go and what to do. He calls for the aides all day and night. My hubby just let things ride. But, he has been there over a month and has spurts of kindness. Hubby was so surprised when I spoke up. I can tolerate a lot of things, but Friday was different. I was really under the weather and could not get up from the chair. One of the aides offered to drive me home and I said it wouldn’t be necessary. It took a couple of hours for the thing to pass and listening to the roommate’s gibberish and needing sleep set me off. I can stand up for myself, but, I must admit I have patience. However, Friday night just made it happen. He has not spoken to me since and that is refreshing. He has had no visitors. Maybe that explains his outbursts. Oh well.

@taci,

Good day in S. California enjoy your family on this lovely Sunday. 🎈
Taci my cousin passed in TN.

Happy and safe trails to you. 🎈😎

Afterglow
Song by INXS

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides the thorns from the roses
It’s you and the roses
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go, I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I’m living in your afterglow
Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who owns tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I’m caught in your shadow, I’m losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go, I will find my way
I will sacrifice ’til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I’m living in your afterglow
When the veils are gone, as I let you go, as I let you go
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go, I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I’m living in your afterglow
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides the thorns from the roses
It’s you who is closest

@loaf,

Good morning in Ohio wishing you a very nice Spring Saturday. 🎈😘💕

@xango,

Good day in beautiful Florida. 💕🎈😎Thank you for your post from last night.
So far OZ is beautiful today but tomorrow is another story.

I appreciate the kind thoughts about my family. We are taking it one day at a time.

I hope this day finds you and hubby having a wonderful day. 😎🎈💕

I have been out walking in the sun trying to clear my head and settle my heart. 💕
Time heals all wounds.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕🎈I am pretty sure this will be a busy
day for you.

Oodie thank you for your understanding and support during this very difficult time.
I appreciate you taking the time to help me through this process called life.

I am so glad you got to see your husband I can’t wait until your home is finished
and he is there. 🎈💕😎😘

Hubby and I plan to get out for a bit and do some things. 😎💕 I am not going to plant
just yet OZ weather is iffy and they say don’t plant until next month.

Again thank you for your kindness. 😘💕😎

@sheba2011

I see you are keeping busy. Me, I goofed off today. Now getting ready to see hubby. I will be bringing him some fish with mashed potatoes. At this point I’m not sure if I will puree them. Fish is soft and easy to chew without teeth. While at Aldi’s yesterday, I picked up some ice cream treats and other things. I had a freezer bag and freezer paks with me. Everything was still frozen when I arrived at the rehab about a half hour later. Hubby chose the ice cream on a stick and it was so good, he had another. When I returned home, everything was still frozen. That was 7 or 8 hours later. I purchased these bags at Sam’s Club and Costco. Best part is using these bags with the “trolley.” Only heavy lifting is either from a passenger seat or the trunk to the trolley. That trolley sure comes in handy.

Before I forget. Joy will be on with Clean Boss as a TS for Sunday. The price they are showing is $8 more. I have a feeling that the mop will be the special. I still have a few bottles left at the lower price so may skip over them this time around.

Looks like your SIL is starting to turn the corner. However, just like Covid she will have good and bad days. Normal for this type of surgery. As I said previously, there are a couple of new meds out that are promising for pancreatic cancer. I just do not know if they have been approved by the FDA. These meds were tried in England and they seem to be doing the job. That’s all I can say at the moment.

If it’s any consolation, I had a cousin who past in his 40s. It was very unexpected. He was getting out of his car in the parking lot for work and collapsed. He was gone before his body hit the pavement. He passed from an embolism that no one knew he had. No black and blue marks. Nothing. This happened many years ago. Both his parents and our grandparents were alive then. Our entire family was devastated. I hope your mom is OK. That’s my concern now.

@oodiebom,

Good evening I am very sorry about your relative that is so sad.
I am healing and dealing with whatever comes my way.

I have a headache so I am going to chill a bit.

Thank you for being here. 😘💕

@sheba2011

Good night. May you have a better day tomorrow. Enjoy your bath. I would play around with some bubbles.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this be a great Saturday for you and your
family. 🎈😎

Thank you for your post and thoughts on my family. This is a long process.

Wishing you safe and happy trails. 🎈😎

Sheba, Just checking in on you today. How are you doing?
Did your cousin live in CO?
So sad for your family.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈💕Lady I was very moved by your post last night.
Thank you for taking the time to post I know you are helping your mother.

Everything you said you were right about. 🎈

Just relax my friend if you can today. OZ is alright we have the Sun.
Lady I am still standing no matter what life throws at me I thank god for my
resilience to bounce back. I am still doing things one day at a time.

SIL is doing alright today she is stable and still in ICU.

I appreciate your kind words and thoughts. 💕😘❤️

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. ❤️🎈😎

@sheba2011

Hi in Oz. I hope you had a good day or as good as can be.😊 I shuffled my way around the house, hung a couple window toppers and tried not to fall off the step stool ladder. My knees are really hurting from yesterday.☹🦵 Good excuse to do next to nothing.

I hope all is calm in your house today. Try to take it easy. Continued prayers for you and the family.🙏🙏 Sending love and hugs.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening and thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to post to me.
I am doing alright I have a slight headache and I am going to soak in the tub a bit. 💕

Everything is calm tonight and I am lighting a candle for my cousin. 💕😎

SIL is doing the best she can as she is stable no new news to report.

Wishing you a nice Saturday evening. 😘💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and I never get tired of saying that to you. 😎🎈
Kitten I pray all is well with you and your family.

Jeff Buckley Lyrics
“Hallelujah”
(originally by Leonard Cohen)

Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Well, baby, I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor (you know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Well, there was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah…
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

“Yesterday” The Beatles

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be.
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go?
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go?
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

The Beatles Lyrics
“In My Life”

There are places I’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more

The Beatles Lyrics
“Eleanor Rigby”

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

Nowhere Man
Song by The Beatles

He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all
Nowhere man don’t worry
Take your time, don’t hurry
Leave it all ’til somebody else
Lends you a hand
Ah, la, la, la, la
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere man, The world is at your command
Ah, la, la, la, la
He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

The Beatles Lyrics
“A Hard Day’s Night”

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it’s worth it just to hear you say you’re going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright owww

So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

This is for my mother her music and I love it too. 😎😘💕

RIP dear cousin. 💕😘

Til We Meet Again. 💕❤️

NATIONAL FRAGRANCE DAY

Spring is now in the air, and so is National Fragrance Day. Each year on March 21st, let your favorite scents lift your mood or carry you to another place.

Have you ever been transported back in time simply by catching the scent of a loved one’s perfume? Or perhaps it was the smell of baby powder on a newborn that sent you reeling back to the days when your child was an infant. Maybe it was a combination of ginger and molasses, and suddenly you were in your grandmother’s kitchen.

Whatever the fragrance, scents, and memory are powerfully linked. We associate summer with the smell of freshly cut grass, thunderstorms with the smell of the damp air, and the acrid scent of sulfur when lightning has struck. We often connect memories of winter holidays with warm spiced pies and cookies.

NATIONAL FUTURE GENERATIONS DAY

National Future Generations Day is celebrated on the third Friday in March. This National Day serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to nurture the health and well-being of those yet to come. promote awareness and dialogue around these critical issues.

NATIONAL COUNTDOWN DAY

3…2…1…National Countdown Day on March 21 ticks down the minutes, seconds, or days to events big and small.

3…2…1. July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 launches into the atmosphere carrying the crew for the first moon landing.

3…2…1. Y2K, everyone partied like it was 1999 until the new millennium arrived.

3…2…1. January 19, 2013, Marlo Anderson quietly launched a website called National Day Calendar.

3…2…1…it is 5 o’clock somewhere!

National Memory Day on March 21 is a day celebrating the brain as a function of the human body that helps us to recall events and retrieve experiences from the past.

Most people think of memory as something that is used to remember past events. However, there are actually three functions of memory. The first function of memory is to acquire information. The second and third functions of memory involve the ability to retain and retrieve information.

WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY

World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st gives people with Down Syndrome and their advocates a voice and an opportunity to be heard. It’s a day where we assemble and organize activities to promote public awareness for the genetic disorder. The goal is to educate others on the importance of supporting our friends and family who have directly and indirectly experienced life with Down syndrome.

NATIONAL SINGLE PARENT DAY

On March 21st, National Single Parents Day honors the mothers and fathers holding down the fort with all the hard work, devotion, and sacrifices involved in single parenting. Raising children can be challenging. Doing it without a partner doubles the burden. Whether by choice or circumstance, single parents carry a heavy load. Between work, school, daycare, doctor visits, and the list goes on, one person can only do so much.

NATIONAL CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRY DAY

As part of National Nutrition Month, National California Strawberry Day kicks off the strawberry season in California. The celebration takes place annually on March 21st which is typically the first full day of spring. It’s an ideal time to rejuvenate our senses and get excited about fresh fruit dishes, too.

NATIONAL FRENCH BREAD DAY

National French Bread Day bakes up a delicious celebration enjoyed by millions across the United States each year on March 21st.

French bread, also known as a baguette, is a long thin loaf made from basic lean dough. Its length and its crisp crust define it. Over time, French law has established what is and what is not a baguette. In 1920, a labor law prevented bakers from starting their day before 4 a.m. Bread makers know that breadmaking is a tactile industry. The kneading and resting of the dough are just as important as the ingredients. When the law limited their day, the bakers knew their product so well they adjusted by re-shaping their loaves of bread. The long, narrow loaves baked more quickly and evenly. As a result, patrons found the new loaves more convenient for slicing and storing.

These sturdy loaves make delicious sandwiches, but they also go well with any soup. Any leftover bread makes delicious French toast, too!

The French are known for their high standards where culinary arts are concerned. To preserve quality in their bread, laws were passed requiring minimum quantities of certain quality ingredients in each loaf of bread.

NATIONAL COMMON COURTESY DAY

National Common Courtesy Day on March 21st serves as a reminder of the behavior that keeps society from melting into a sea of madness. In addition, the day brings awareness to how crucial common courtesy is in our lives and provides examples to help us improve.

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in Florida. Oz is dreary today very cloudy and windy. Xango I started this thread
this time eleven years ago. So I am into my eleventh year. 😎🎈💕

Still Spring is beautiful enjoy your day.

@sheba2011 🌹🌹🌹

Hello Sheba 🌹 Congratulations. Eleven years is a long time. Your dedication is definitely appreciated.
I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. Your family certainly has gone through a lot.
I hope and pray for your SIL to get better with each day.
We have been getting some real Spring days and cool nights. Only thing is a Red Flag Alert due to being so dry. The temperature yesterday (3/21) was in the high 60’s and the night is in the low 40’s. After Sunday we will be back into the mid 80’s during the day.
The bunnies have been coming around for their daily meal.

Sending prayers to your entire family along with a huge hug for you ❤️.

@xango,

Thank you. 💕😘

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕😎🎈Oodie I did read your post from yesterday.
I had a lot going on but first thank you for your support and kind words. 😘

I know your plate is full too but yesterday my SIL had a very high temp and they were
trying to control it with meds she is stable now. I don’t know how to say this but I lost
my first cousin yesterday he passed in his sleep from a brief illness. My entire family
is devastated. I did not post last night I was overwhelmed. I know everyone is fighting some
kind of battle. I think 2025 is off to a tough start for my family. We are praying and standing
together. I think losing my cousin just came out of no where he had no health issues.
Just a brief illness and was gone. My he RIP we loved him so. 💕

I am doing alright just keeping busy and trying to eat something.

Oodie how are you and hubby doing? OZ is alright just a bit cloudy and windy.

Again thank you for all your support over all these years. 🎈😘

@sheba2011

I did read that many who have this type of surgery do go through a process with high temps. The main concern is sepsis which can be controlled with meds. Most of this also is the immune system trying to do it’s job.. This is a difficult process, and she will remain in ICU until she is strong enough to go to a regular room. The normal stay is 8-12 days from the day of surgery.

So sorry to hear about your cousin. Never easy to lose someone so young and so close,
especially when it’s not expected. It is extremely hard to take and often we ask WHY?? I wish I could get to your home in person to be at your side. Suffice to say that this thread, in some ways, can answer that call.

I did see hubby yesterday. He was all smiles. He is having problems with short term memory. The aides along with occupational therapy are helping him. Will see how the next few weeks go.

I sincerely hope that by your SIL comes through this difficult period with flying colors. I am sure they are using antibiotics to combat the infection. I will continue with the prayers. Take care of yourself. Congratulations on so many years doing this thread.. A job well done.

@oodiebom,

Good evening and thank you for such a thoughtful and beautiful post to me.
Oodie you right about everything concerning the surgery. Today SIL had a blood
transfusion and is doing well tonight. ❤️❤️ I know she will be in the Hospital
for at least two weeks. No rush I just want her well and I want them to cover every
bone in her body.

The kids are worried my brother is worried and I am out of it. I don’t like to dwell on
things like this I try to forge on.

I just want to thank you for your kind words especially when you are dealing with a lot
yourself. I would so love to have a cup of tea with you. 😘💕

Oodie enjoy your evening I am going to lay down a bit.

@sheba2011

Blood transfusions are a normal process in most cases. You have to remember that the surgeons removed part of the pancreas, lower intestine and a few other things. This means that the body needs to make some necessary changes. It’s also a period when the patient looses a lot of weight. However, the best part is as they heal and learn what foods they can tolerate, the energy level does come back. The immune system will actually start healing the wounds and will help with the adjustment period. The first one to five days are the hardest. After that the family will notice some changes. More smiles, less frowns. I feel she is in good hands. It just takes time for everything to come together. Her body has been through a lot. Chemo, tests, more tests, etc. etc.. The body has been pushed and shoved and then some all prior to the surgery. Take care of yourself and best to your brother and the kids.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 🎈💕😎I hope this Friday is a good for you.
I have a lot going on so it’s one day at a time for me.

My SIL had a high temp and is still in ICU she is stable. I lost my close cousin yesterday
he passed in his sleep from a brief illness. I am speechless. We had to tell our mother
and that is so sad. I am taking baby steps.

What does not kill you makes you stronger. 😎

Happy and healthy trails. 🎈

Sheba, you do have a lot to handle.
Sincerely sorry for the loss of your cousin. I know what you mean about telling your Mother.

Hope your SIL is feeling better with each day.

We had a little scare today as Hubs thought he lost his cell phone Mtn Biking and he had done a long ride. We all went back to look for the cell phone. Hubs and son took off on their bikes to look , so I decided to walk the parking lot and search the car. I found it in the trunk of the car which was unusual but luckily it worked out. It was a big relief for him. We couldn’t track the phone because it shut down and turned off due to the heat. Imagine that? It was really hot there even for me.

@taci,

Good evening and thank you for your post I am glad everything turned out in finding
your husband’s phone. I know things happen.

SIL is in stable condition and that is all that we are praying for. 💕

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎😘Lady thank you for such a beautiful post to me yesterday.
I so appreciated it more than you know.

I had a day yesterday and will continue until I let it go. My SIL had a very high temp but
she is stable now. I got a phone call early that I lost my close cousin in his sleep due to
a short illness. I still did the thread through the shock and tears. This is why I do what I do
what I do. This takes my mind to another place until I can gasp what is happening.

I appreciated the way you wrote your post no one knows what is like to be me. 😎
I do my best everyday here in the HSN Community. Lady this is the day I started this
journey creating this thread it was eleven years ago. 😎💕

I am staying strong and helping my family go through all that we are traveling through.
I hope I am making sense.

I know it’s Mom Friday. 💕😎😘Lady hug your mom a little tighter today.

Sending tight hugs to you and Jake. 😎💕😘

@sheba2011

My Lord, how much can one family take? I am very sorry about the sudden death of your cousin. No words can help, just time.😥 Glad your SIL is stable. She had a lot done during surgery so stable is a good thing.

Congrats on 11 years and being so dedicated.👍 I understand this is like therapy for you but it also takes time and work. I admire you immensely.✨😊✨

I am zapped from mom Friday. All I did today was get in and out of my car – four different times at her house, twice down the street for mail, twice at the hair salon, and twice at two grocery stores. I hope I can get out of bed tomorrow.😮

Lots of love and hugs to your entire family.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I think you figured me out LOL!. I do this thread off the top of my head.
The only inspiration I have our my memories all my music are from life. 💕My parents
loved music and dance and that is what I know.

My cousin sudden passing broke my heart when we had to tell my mom.
I hate to write it but SIL had to have blood transfusion due to low blood level.
Still in stable condition the kids are doing alright. I check in with them every night.

This is a road I have to managed to go down. A bit much but that’s life.

Thank you for understanding and yes this thread does take time and thoughtfulness
I do this off the top my head and I do it at the speed that I type. There are so many steps
is where the time comes in the thoughts and the look is in my head. 😘😎

Love you. 💕❤️

Goodnight sweet dreams. 😘

@kittengirl,

Good Morning in California wishing you a wonderful Friday. 💕😎🎈

NATIONAL PROPOSAL DAY

On March 20th, the days and nights balance, and National Proposal Day offers an equal opportunity for a marriage proposal. For many, this is the day they’ve been waiting patiently to arrive without success. Others will pop the question suddenly.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE KID DAY®

Every year on the third Thursday in March, Absolutely Incredible Kids Day encourages adults to tell kids how absolutely incredible they are. Take the challenge a step further and WRITE it down in a letter to that absolutely incredible kid.

NATIONAL NATIVE HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY

On March 20th, National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day brings many groups across the United States together to increase education and provide support in communities nationwide.

NATIONAL FARM RESCUER DAY

National Farm Rescuer Day dedicates the third Thursday of March to those who support farmers in need.

NATIONAL SPRAY TANNING DAY | Third Thursday in March

Get your glow on and celebrate National Spray Tanning Day on the third Thursday in March by getting a fresh spray tan!

NATIONAL RAVIOLI DAY

March 20th celebrates a fun-filled and versatile pasta. National Ravioli Day is a food holiday for pasta lovers! So pick your favorite filling and sauce and cook up a meal everyone will love!

Ravioli are a traditional Italian-filled pasta. Pasta makers fill two layers of thin egg pasta dough with various ingredients. Imagine a small meatball tucked, snug inside two cozy layers of delicious dough. That’s what ravioli is. Some of the fillings include, cheese, meat, vegetables and seasonings. They also usually serve the ravioli in either a broth or with a pasta sauce.

While ravioli often serves as the main course, it can also be a side dish or appetizer. Many popular recipes bake or deep fry the ravioli. The dish also quickly becomes a dessert with chocolate added to the pasta or cream cheese stuffing and a caramel sauce!

Ravioli can be homemade or purchased fresh or frozen in grocery stores. In the United States, Chef Boyardee popularized canned ravioli. This ravioli is filled with beef or processed cheese and served in a tomato, tomato-meat, or tomato-cheese sauce.

Spring begins on the March or vernal equinox, which is when the amount of sunshine is approximately 12 hours long. The amount of sunlight will incrementally increase until the first day of Summer.

The vernal equinox marks the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator. This is the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator, from south to north. The vernal equinox happens on March 19, 20, or 21 every year in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, this same event marks the beginning of fall. Meteorologists mark the spring from March 1 through May 31st.

In 2020, spring arrived a little earlier due to it being a leap year. On Leap Day, there’s a short math lesson regarding the Gregorian calendar. To keep our calendar following the seasons so that spring happens when flowers grow and winter arrives when snow falls, an additional day was figured into years divisible by the number four. This caused the 2020 spring to occur earlier than any living human being alive had ever seen. Before 2020, the earliest spring on record took place in 1896.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 😎💕🎈
Enjoy this first day of Spring. 🎈

@loaf,

Welcome to the first day of Spring. 😎🎈💕

@xango,

Good afternoon in sunny Florida. 🎈😎Welcome to the first day of Spring.

@Oddiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Wishing you a very Happy Spring.💕

Spring is here at last and OZ is beautiful well we have the Sun.

Enjoy this day with your husband.

@sheba2011

Today was garbage and recycle. This kept me busy most of the am.. The temp. right now is 73 degrees and it will probably just go up a notch or two. Tonight will be in the low 6 0s, Tomorrow a different story. Temps will have a hard time getting out of the 60s. That’s OK with me being a New England person. By the way, I think I told you of a blizzard many years ago on Mother’s Day. I called mom to say we wouldn’t be able to see her and why. She didn’t believe me until she saw the news on TV.. And, as you know, one never knows what is in store for us in the spring months.

Your SIL will probably remain in ICU for the next few days. She will be monitored very closely. However, visitors, including immediate, family will be limited.. I usually bring a book or something to do in the waiting room until permitted to visit once again. I know you are concerned and worried. Try to get some rest and enjoy the sunshine. This, too, shall pass.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 🎈😎💕Enjoy the first day of Spring.

Wishing you happy and healthy trails. 😎🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎💕All is well in the land of OZ.
My SIL is doing alright she is in ICU recovery. The family is taking it
one day at a time and it will take time for her to get through this.

Sending beautiful spring hugs to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

I know it’s Mom Friday. 🎈😘

@sheba2011

Thinking of you and your family. I hope each day brings your SIL one step closer to full recovery.🙏 I think I’ll send her all the beautiful spring flowers you just posted to make her smile.💐🌸🌼🥰 Wonderful sign that she has gotten through all treatments and now surgery.🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗 Sending love and hugs your way.🤗💖

@shoelady60

A great idea and a wonderful thought..

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California. 🎈😎

The Beatles Lyrics
“A Hard Day’s Night”

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it’s worth it just to hear you say you’re going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright owww

So why on earth should I moan, cos when I get you alone
You know I feel OK

When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

NATIONAL CERTIFIED NURSES DAY

Every March 19th, National Certified Nurses Day celebrates the certified nurses who impact lives every day.

NATIONAL BACKYARD DAY

Our backyards have become our home away from home, our playgrounds, and an extension of our homes. On March 19th, we celebrate National Backyard Day and all the ways we’ve transformed the spaces and places we call our oasis. We celebrate our backyards.

NATIONAL POULTRY DAY

Poultry is the theme for March 19th as it is National Poultry Day. No fowl moods or ruffled feathers. However, there may be some quacking and gobbling going on.

Kick the day off with eggs and turkey bacon for breakfast. Around lunchtime, serve an open-faced turkey avocado sandwich. Then perhaps, finish off the day with a good, ol’ fashioned fried chicken dinner.

NATIONAL SBDC DAY

During the third Wednesday in March, National Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) Day recognizes the thousands of SBDCs across the country supporting entrepreneurs in the pursuit of small business ownership.

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CARAMEL DAY

A great combination is celebrated each year on National Chocolate Caramel Day. On March 19th, enjoy chocolate and caramel in your favorite candy bar, ice cream, or dessert. It will put a smile on most people’s faces! The combination also invokes some cravings for chocolate caramel coffee, milkshakes, or just about any treat with this hard-to-resist combination.

@loaf,

Good day and welcome to Spring almost. 😎🎈

@xango,

Good day in very sunny Florida at the moment OZ is raining and that will turn to snow
later today. Never a dull moment in OZ. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie as you know this is a very stressful day
for me. This is how I handle certain kinds of stress I just keep busy. 😎

I found out through my brother not only are they removing part of her pancreas but
also her gallbladder and the stent. SIL has been in surgery since 6:00 a.m. I just got a text
from family member at the hospital that she is now in recovery. We are all saying prayers.

Oodie thank you and all the girls for your support I will not know much until they go over
all the medical and labs reports. I have been on the phone with family members and I am
just out of it. I know This Too Shall Pass. 💕

Oodie how are you doing? I don’t see why your husband can’t have a Yukon Gold Potato.
Strange how they can see that but not his missing personal things. I wish I could fly up
there and punch some lights out. 😎 I know you don’t like to do that you get more bees with
honey. Oodie this is just plain messed up. I wish they see all the things they go on with your
husband. I think you know what is best for him and you will not do any harm.

Let me know how things go for you today. I am in a peaceful mood now that she is in Recovery.
Oz is raining right now and then we will have some snow. 😎

@sheba2011

The long surgery may be a good thing. At least you know what the surgeons did. It will probably take a few days before you and the family know the results of the surgery. Those days will be just as difficult as waiting for the surgery. My prayers for a good outcome are being sent as I type. I surmise that the other organs were also checked as they went along. I surmise your daughters are with your brother. Your SIL is in good hands and will probably be in ICU for a few days.

I did not visit hubby yesterday. I breathed a sigh of relief when I made it home. The night prior I had just a few hours of sleep. I thought I would take a short nap. Well, that short nap went until 9pm last night.

I have the name of the new administrator and in a nice way I will inform her of hubby’s lost of glassses and other things as well. I do not like the idea that he cannot have solid foods or almost solid foods. He has lost some bottom teeth due to not brushing. I wish the aides< LPNa and RNs would notice these things. I will be contacting the dentist here for an appointment. I do not trust the doctors at the Rehab.

I am going to Costco. Need quite a few things and then some. Picking up something for hubby and the staff as well. I have a salad in the frig all set to go. Get some rest, if you can. I hope and pray that everything will be OK.. Remember that there is new medication for pancreatic cancer.. Fingers crossed and prayers still being sent.

@oodiebom,

Good evening it’s been a long hard day. I am taking some peace time tonight. 💕😘
I hope you got to see your husband. I do like your way of thinking the more bees with
honey. I am the type of person I will knock some lights out. I can’t help it I loathe rude
people and sneaky too. Oodie they are watching you instead of watching the person
with the hands taking things that don’t belong to them. I don’t like people who steal.

I think I will jump in the shower and I will feel better.

Enjoy your evening.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎💕🎈Thank you for thinking of my family.
My SIL is out of a six hour surgery and is in the Recovery Room now.

All the family is there and just waiting for some results so far so good. Taci they also
took her Gallbladder and the Stent out. This is major surgery and she is going to
hurt like nothing on earth. I had a Gallbladder Surgery and it was not good. I was in
the hospital for 8 days and I had a lot of support in the HSN Community. I was seeing
purple and the pain was insane. I pray they give her something that will take away that
kind of pain. I will know more later on.

Hey wishing you happy trails. 😎🎈

Sheba, Glad your SIL made it through her major surgery. Sucks. I know. If this helps, my hubs gall bladder surgery wasn’t nearly as painful as yours. He was in and out in 1 day and the pain was referral pain later in the night. Your surgery sounds major as well and 8 days is a long time in the hospital in CA. Sorry you were in so much pain. Couldn’t they give you meds for it?
Here’s hoping the best for your SIL.

Sheba, fyi only
I continue to have some issue with the HSN web site, in addition to the header issue and logging in and out issues. Beware. It just defaulted the “notify me of email replies” button below and sent me 2 emails from your thread but not my posts…..

Have a good evening.

@taci,

Good evening you don’t remember that surgery? I was in the hospital for eight days and I
was on morphine. Oh they gave me something for sure I was in a purple haze.

Some of the girls on the jewel thread made a thread to welcome me back into the
community. I survived and I have not had any issues I never gain weight. 😎

My SIL surgery is no joke either and this will be long road to recovery. I am thankful
she is sleeping my family’s faith is keeping us grounded. 💕

I am having a little fun with the Beatles one of my brothers said he had a long day’s night.
I thought of that song LOL!

We are snowing and hopefully this is the last of this weather. Wishful thinking.

Sheba, Yes, I do remember for sure. Just your surgery sounds like it was extensive in addition to your SIL’s. Sorry if I confused you.

@taci,

No problem it was Cindy819 who started the thread. She said on the day I was released
that I was busting out and she was right.

I would not wish that episode on anyone. My SIL is ten times what I went through.

I hope nothing is going on with the HSN Site. I am going to shut down.

Goodnight. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎💕I hope you are rested and at least enjoyed the Hockey
Game. 😎🎈

I know this is a Mom Day. 💕😘

I am a bit overwhelmed throughout the day. SIL Surgery lasted six hours and she is now
in Recovery. All the family is waiting and praying. 💕

I did not find out until last night they took her Gallbladder and the Stent out. I am sure
they are waiting on medical and lab reports.

Will fill you in more as I know more. I am going to just breathe for now.

Lady today is the last day of this brutal winter and OZ is snowing. I have never seen a
winter like this in OZ.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 💕🎈😎

@sheba2011

Thinking of you all day, take all the time you need to wind down. Sounds like she had the Whipple surgery which involves rearranging things. Continued prayers, hugs and love.🙏🤗💗

@shoelady60,

Good evening and god bless you for your sweet thoughts. Lady you are right she did
have that surgery. We have all had a Hard Day’s Night. 😎

I am worn out so I will call it a night.

Sweet Dreams. 😘💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California wishing you a beautiful spring. 😎🎈
