Hi everyone!  Yes it's me!! lol.  I have been having problems with the POE site!!  Strings of programming coming up on the page, or the page comes all shifted to one side, or it says it's loaded but the screen is blank.  Just a little earlier this evening it said the encoding was incorrect and I should let the web owners know!!  I have no idea why this is happening when right at this moment it is fine!!

I have been busy, busy, busy at the new house, I cannot believe the way tenants leave properties.  But it is now scrubbed to within an inch of its life except for the stove (I hate that job anyway) and the outside of the windows.  Yesterday I was at the house the whole day while the carpets were cleaned, today I taught all day (getting one month's lessons crammed into two weeks), tomorrow I must go the the new house for the burglar alarm to be updated and activated!  I'm teaching all day thursday & Saturday.  We are booked with the furniture removers on the 21st - so everything is getting very hectic now!  

I will be popping in whenever I can - strange internet connections allowing me to of course! 

Hope all my friends on POE are well and in good health!!

When I clicked on latest threads just now I got at least half a screen of programming information - strangely enough it doesn't seem to affect the pages within a thread.

I also get lots of blank spaces in the Latest pictures - if I click on the blank space I sometimes can see the pic.  So sorry I have not been commenting on the pics - I can't see them at the moment!!!  It is all very strange.  This has been for 3 or 4 days now and I just thought it was our internet - but I don't think it is now because it isn't happening to anything else!!

Anyway thanks so much Ron and a big Hi to Shaun!!

I'll pass on the port Ron, my stomach is still feeling tender from al the meds and water I'm putting through it right now. It's going down an bit but I sure an sleeping through things right now. I go tup at 6:15 am this morning and just woke up after 11 am..made me some Chicken and rice soup and decided to add an wee bit of milk to it. My leg veins are hgily dialated from some reason this time around...but the cold is pretty much gone. Pain so-so.

Cathyml..it's good to see you here and all. You do sound busy...my sister had to clear all her items out under the doors in her kitchen and bathroom, living in an 3 year old "new" apartment house they decided to fumigate for coachroaches and what-not....as I told her, they are ussually found in Lousianna and down south, Missiippii, not in Oregon..but she has this going on anyway today. I see where an team went into an trailer home on the news and moved the people out to clean it up and spray there for everything as they clean it up..the guy was wearing an plaid flannel shirt with live bed bugs crawling on the collar...they looked like senior handicapped people maybe.I won't say anything, my docotor told me, if you don' t use it, store it elsewhere, besides your home if possible... otherwise get rid of it, so you have less cleaning to do...as you age..... with or without outside help.

James go to earthboppin.com and the thread..let it all hang out...under the title "Dancing with the Stars"...you won't beleive it. It's an nasty strip club act...one why you can see we have to put the highest morals on  talent and dancing. Done in very poor taste, but that's our south of the border group of people...and those that support them in what they do.

I woke up this morning dreaming of Christmas, I was somewhere...an church or someplace serving up Turkey dinners or getting ready to for free to the community. Turkey, mashed potatoes, peas and cranberry sauce and an buscuit.  We had booths of hot chocolate, coffee, and apple cider and an cookie table...they were coming by volunteers making them at home and delivering them.. At one time I thought I was at chruch...but not sure if it was that or an city function going on. Can't think of this city ever doing anything like that without charging an fee for the dinner. Well, my foot is now throbbing again, so better go for now.
