Good morning..I'm working on itCathyml...later on willl go out an make an new flower bed with all spring bulbs in it for some pretty Spring flowers off the patio. Which needs renovated also.

James, we had an couple of those boats for sale up the street not to long ago. We would rather ruse out big intertube, kids seem to like it because more of them can use it at once. It's got handles all around the outside of it they can attach lines to an do whatever they want.  It reminds me of seeing this older lady get off to an rough start in an Lake one time.she  passed us by with her legs straight up in the air...V-shaped... looking perplexed that she wasn't sitting up right like she should of been(sking on her feet maybe?)...as she passed by me...I couldn't help laughing...she was no little princess upon the water...I said to the person beside me...think she needs some help?....they said that her boat driver should be aware of that part and stop the boat. Then she turned her  back away from the Lake and was laughing also. Which got me to laughing again...I turned my back to the Lake also. Each to his own when it comes to water sports I guess. It helps to know what your doing also.

I better get going...seems like there is always something to do around here. Have an good day everyone!

Nothing like having to go and buy some dirt before you can plant the flower bed is there...  but I did manage to  dig up the basil and plant it in an old canning kettle and put some flowers around the bottom of it...and in another one, this time an old enamel spaghetti pot the stevia with some red swiss chard and green leaves.  then I ran out of dirt and ended up at Home Depoe. To late by the time I got back to work the soil and plant...will do that tomarrow....but in the proces I decided...since our camper is ground level almost down low on blocks...to use the side of it and make an "lein- to" plastic kind of greenhouse frame for the side of it...it sets south facing on length side...maybe set the plants on an table and  insulated coolers down below for spare veggies, where critters can't get in ithem. I can also if I do this as I imagine...roll up the plastic to water or let the rain in...and also hang an couple of electric bulbs out at night for heat...let the sun on the metal of the camper keep things warm during the day. Kind of an wacky idea, but it might just work.If it don't work, they can always be moved into the garage. see if I can keep them alive and maybe producing over winter.

In the process of phone calls I got one from winterfield/Grash...come get the Lab test papers if you'd like tomarrow...if you fast tonight you can still get the tests done. I go in to see him Monday late...but you know...I've completely stopped losing weitght for some reason. I just tallied up my day's calories...898 total.... so now what do you supppose has gone astray perhaps...walked my 50 mins today also.

I havent' the foggiest idea why when I do something, it never seems to be as it really is at the hands of others. You realize I've been on Blood pressure lowering meds for almost 3 months and she still hasn't gotten my blood pressure down past 160 yet...while I have all kinds of readings in the 120's. She also has me weighting 8 pounds more also...but still said I lost 4 pounds in the last two weeks...I had my hubby reading the zero on the scales before I got on and he read it afterwards also. I feel like I'm working with an lot of untruthful doctors looking for an pay out these days.. Bad, bad, bad. I guessI should say...they don't want me healthy. Not good...doctors are not suppose to be that way... they are there for an cure. If they aren't they shouldn't be doctoring. I go for now...if you don't hear from me......go look up one Diana Marie Winterfield.

Well Ron,  I will write it here instead of pestering you with e mails when I know the problem has nothing to do with Poe website, and I realise you do not know what I am referring to, nor does anyone else. but I do not really know what to do about it, I have just spent £55. and it is just the same, I really need someone here to see for themselves, I am now going to ring the last shop again

Yes I have uploaded pictures but thwy are still uploading 10-15 mins later according to my screen but actually they are already recieved by you therefore after I had waited that anmount of time I click it off and check they have alreay been recieved and then start all over again.

Yesterday, I sent my son a picture by e mail, my screen said it was attaching the picture  then my son rang and said he had recieved it, but according to my screen it was still attaching it,  therefore I do not know where the problem is, I would ring BT but I know I would not be able to understand them because they do not speak good english. Sorry to have bothered you Ron

oh well, back to square one, I know you did not get the pics Ron because I also sent some to my neice and although they are in my "sent" mail she has told me she has not recieved anything so I have gone back to Yahoo as my neighbour today told me he has had to have something new (forget the name) installed and now the speed is good but much more expensive, therefore it seems like the local network is the problem , I thought they would improve  not get worse, e mails and text are no problem but it's the pictures which are the problem, will try and sort it out next week

Peggy...I picked up my so called "Hacker" when I got "yahoo" many years ago....I had just registed to be in Richard simmon's on-line diet club. That's got be some 10 years ago by now...I've had the best of Bill Gates hackers at Microsoft get into my computer...my girlfriend that makes comptuer boards for corporate offices, the "Geeks" at Best buy...and Home Office Depoe. They all have been able to follow him around, bu tnot actually catch him...it took him/whomever about three months to catch up with me after I bought this computer...but they did. Saleman tells me for an home pc...after 5 years down the line...dump it...technoogy is building so quickly it's not worth the fixing...put the money into an new one instead. As for the business run fellas...they have tax write off over here for the people they call out to fix their problems.

Good morning everyone...bitching day to start off with...couldn't get my car to start..had to go to The Oregon Clinic near Gateway to get lab papaers for my lipid profile again. Called my hubby...I set out in the driveway trying to sart that car for an solid half hour...hubby came with hsi truck, turned th ekey  in the car and took off back to work. I see he has an gal secretary in their office..most likley she will be there to take his place for his surgery. I would guess he maybe starts one week;s vacation tonight...if not nect week after. I did getmy Lab papers. But what an mess parking...it is next to the Light rail station and all you see all over from teh shopping center and the clinic is that that parking is not for "Tri-met" but private property.

You would think the Gateway Elks would build an overhead parking lot to their club and charge daily parking fee's to help pay for it and allowing  the club to use it underneath..as covered extra room for the club activites ... over the weekends. They could have all kinds of yearly and monthly activies and be as dry as an bone over winter underneath the parking complex. Christmas Bazzars and the whole bit. Holloween house, etc. Since they are an serivce organization it would help pay for itself maybe....they would have to look into that aspect. Not like here where someone up the street threw out some drink conatiners...never got picked up...so they threw out an McDonalds bag next....all three items still where they were dropped. Keep this up and place should look like an trash bin any ole day now. It's hard enough to get everyone to realize that they need to fix and maintain thier yards our front ot keep up property values as it is.

It reminds back east, where some farmer's plow around their houses to plant crops and don't even have an yard. Maybe leave an strip an couple feet from the house...rest is all in corn or soybeans. I was talking to my aunt about that one...she's says that having flowers and grass is considered an luxury item back there...only gardens are conisdered an necessity...but things are a changing as the new housing projects back there get built...and then they have to have yards as they are so slapped up against each other..bu tmany of them it an grass yard and an tree and that's it. I wen tover to my sister in-law's house and that's what I saw over there...what's left int eh yards from having been built 50 years ago. Place looks dumpy (maybe I should say "servicable) and it's attacted the low income...ones that don't have the money to make it an viable livable pretty neighborhood. Gone to rental housing also. Landlords that just don't give an dam these days. That has happened up our street, bu tthey apparently as renters paid for their own barkdusting an laid id down last weekend. Everyone is alway slooking for someone else to do the buying these days...but it should be everyone helps out an bit.

Which reminds me..my tulip bulbs await...so I better get ot planting them. Talk to you all later on.

Hi Peggy. Not sure if I can help here, but I have just approved three pictures from you.

I just went back and re-read your posts Peggy and I reckon it's a software problem on your laptop. Sorry, I can't help with that, but the guy in the shop should be able to surely?
