Hi there,, talked to my other sister in-law...Lorraine...good timing, I talked her arm and leg off cause I haven't talked to her since she moved into her mother's double wide mobile home that I guess she is now buying...she sold her other one she was living in.  She's still babysitting, Emily's second baby due by November 13th. She says with bad knees, her aged mother, and watching kids, and Sherrie would of had to take off  unpaid time to drive her, she not's going to Lou's funeral..so I told her I'd try to provide her some pictures later on. I got an tropical plant to take up with us that is blooming. I put one of my mother angels in the center of it to take with us....and bought car essentials to take with us...that amounted to an small mint to buy, but for those "just in case" times this winter in general also. Like flares, and flashlights, and ice scraper, and mittens, and de-icer, some jerky and candy bars, and matches, and water purifier,and 100 feet of rope, and rain wear, one tarp...and the costly thing...and sturdy snow shovel. No snow chains as of yet...but I hope they are in there before we take off. Finishing off Holloween right now, and thinking of going to get an pizza tonight. Cloudy weather but not raining. Getting the candy bars out also. I feel very anxiety filled right now though for some reason....maybe I'm to organized this year? Maybe I need my daily walk ...that could be. Definitely has me eating to many Holloween cookies.  Come to think of it, haven't  done to much in the meditation thread here lately either. Coast to coast will do their yearly "Ghost to Ghost" show tonight. He said that they were planning on all kinds of things, with open lines tonight for people to call in also. Four hours of fun and frolic and you just never know. Weird music and laughs galore...and spooky stories. Mostly adult type things.. Then...it' s on to Thanksgiving next. I've been buying things now two days straight, I owe my hubby my next social security check by now to pay things off with. I have my holloween pumpkin shirt on and I am ready to go...talk to you all later on.

I'm always 'lurking' Dave but as for more time not really, because I have to keep the www.PestControl-Supermarket.com site progressing also. It's a case of flitting back and forth for best results.

Peggy those memory foam mattresses stink, I once worked at a place in the village that made memory foam products and the smell was awful. Hope you get on with it, I once had to sleep on one and it was horrible.

I've had my old matress for an long time and I keep iling the quilts on the top of it under new matress pads..the bottom layer is enclosed in an plastic wrap around the whole matress, an dI di dthat after my son was little an use to come to bed with us in the morning and fall asleep...I didn't want leaking diapers to ruin my mattress...so all thatI have on it is washable several layers down.  All my grandkids matresses were completely plasticized also. Besides the problem of little kids possibly wetting in bed...nothng like bugs can get into the matresses or out of them, if there was any to begin with. memeory foam is expenisve...and it's very dense...and when I worked in the nursing home, they had come out with those "foam" type blankets..the state said no patient could have one...they were to dense for any senior citizen or handcappped person to breathe.. if they got entangled in them and couldn't get loose. At one time they were also outlawed for small babies also...that might be placed on their stomaches and can't life their heads. I don' tknow if they have changed them over th eyears or not...but why take chances. Make sure you have plenty of loose weave covering between you and the mattress Peggy.  The loose fibers create "air pockets" in the fabric. Tighter an weave, the more water proof it is also. We use to get high weave for our draw sheets that went across half the bed for the patients if they were wetters...and they were easily more changed then the entire bedding....now of course they have the "pads" forbed wetters. Disposables.

Holloween decorations are now down, and ready to be put up for another year, changed calendars over to November...we had an mere  28 "Trick or treaters" last night...mainly older kids. My sister had six at her apartment complex, but chances are they were having an party in the recreation room also last night. When we first moved here we had about 100 to 150 every year..being an new housing project, but that generation has grown up and left. It was wild though...we couldn't tear open the bags of candy fast enough...this year I have all kinds of candy left over. I'll probably freeze it...and decorate it later on for various Holidays.

Last I heard on this memorial trip up north..possibility in the Cascade Mt.s of 6 to 12 inches of snow over the 3,000 foot level this weekend...I asked hubby to take the snow chains just in case...am fairly ready for most anything else I think....did that yesterday. I see some blue in the skies today...and suppose to be already raining..but it's not. Every jogger and walker from here to komo has been out in the streets this morning wanting to get the excerise in before it rains. I go for now.Have an good day. So for now..am getting ready for Thanksgiving.
