@Terri9630 I was reading this article tonight and I thought I would give you some solutions to your daughters condition. They now have trained assistance dogs who can sense a drop in blood pressure and warn their owner and are trained to revive them after a fainting spell.

It is worth looking into and here is the article - https://au.news.yahoo.com/mum-faints-every-second-day-relies-two-year-old-revive-053328674.html .

canning taters and peppers. actually we are going to make some more rotel maters.

 

[timmie]

guess what? it's raining again this morning. so no rosemary and other herbs today as it is supposed to rain all day. maybe we can get the maters,okra, and peppers in between showers since we are putting them up today. we'll see what happens.

Going to breakfast with husband. Need to go to the school for a little work. Store has pears for 50 cents a lb, so going to get a load. Plan to can chopped tomatoes and pears today. Get the laundry done, with all the bedding changed. Son brought home 50 aquaponic lettuce starts someone was tossing, so plan to get those planted. Need to call my nephew in OK who told me his mom (the bad sis who drugged my mom and put her away in a dementia hosp that husband and I rescued) wants to visit my mom this Thanksgiving (when I can't be there). He will not like it, and will possibly lecture me in forgiveness, but I need to tell him that his mom can't visit. I have forgiven her, but she is still up to no good and I need to protect my mom. He will not like this conversation. He wants a kumbaya moment that won't happen. Adult kids coming for dinner. Think I'll make quiche. Lots and lots of eggs.

 

[WVDragonlady]

Did laundry after breakfast. Helped tear off the old back porch and hubby replaced the boards with new composite boards ( I call it plastic boards lol)
Made BLTs for lunch
Now I'm watching baseball trying to decide what to make for supper

 

[timmie]

I have not been walking much around my neighborhood since I moved in. To the little store down the street, but not much more than that. So using my rolling walker, I was able to walk down the street to the main downtown street which is a block away. I sat in the park there for a bit then went up the street. I wanted to get a picture of the little movie theater. Well, there are a lot of businesses that are closed on Sunday in this little city. I guess I kinda like that. That old time atmosphere. Then I went across the street to the other........actually there are four parks right there at the intersection, so the other one is next to the library. I took pictures, I am a sucker for taking pictures of flowers or signs. My son stopped by for a little while and then he left. It is nice having him down the street. Now I see I can walk to his apartment. I am going to try to do this more often. As long as it is not raining and not real hot out. I cannot take the heat.

Thanks. I've seen lots videos of them. My daughters mastiff is 7 so after he "goes" we are going to look into training or having one trained for her.

[Meerkat]

Cleared some brush away from fence, cleaned cabinets and cooked a roast for lunch and onions rings in beer batter for supper. Always eat really light for supper.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

Started off the morning with DH stain removing some clothing, putting on a load of washing, hanging it out on the clothes line and DH watering about another 1/3 rd of one of the side of the house lawns and 1 Calla Lily flower bed with saved grey water with our showers and washing machine. DH then washed up the dishes and cleaned the benches and I wiped them and put them away.

After lunch we sorted the firewood out under the house in sizes and re-stacked it so we now know how much firewood we will need to cut for next winter although we are still going on this winter with frosts here and currently using our slow combustion fireplace as I type. We are going to need to cut around 2 x 8' x 5' trailer loads of medium sized firewood and another 2 trailer loads of large firewood for night logs.

After I checked my email we had got the discount e-voucher codes for our local supermarket and did our 3 monthly grocery online shop for 1 supermarket and got $519 worth of groceries for $400 taking advantage of weekly specials, a supermarket $10 discount off purchase and the $80 discount with the 2 e-vouchers. We will pick this order up on Friday.

Tonight's dinner will be our mince and garden vegetable stir fry we froze earlier in the week as we had guests the next day for dinner and there wouldn't have been enough to feed 4 people.

Got everything done yesterday except the pear canning. But I did get the pears purchased. Managed to get all the tomatoes chopped and canned. So off to work I go, and it's an American Heritage Girl evening tonight for granddaughter and Boy Scouts for grandson. So husband and I wolf down food after work and we all go our separate ways till 9pm. Managed to get an employee to stay my evening shift at work, so I will be able to get off at 3 or so and be home when the grands get off the bus. Four more days and we're off to the farm. Yes, I'm counting.

 

[NannyPatty]

Thinking about trying to find a few fall tomato plants.

 

[WVDragonlady]

Just got back from a farm market. Wanted some more cantaloupe for hubby's lunch and snacking for myself. I found a small seedless watermelon also finally. Bought some yellow peaches but they're still hard so it'll be a while before we can eat them.
The market added on with a big building and a larger bakery. Much more spread out now which is nice. I broke my will power and bought a whoopie pie lol

 

[NannyPatty]

Fall tomatoes are not in for a few mor days. Maybe this weekend. Pruned the two that survived the heat. Okra looking better and eggplant is blooming.

 

[timmie]

peeling pears and canning taters

 

[katlupe]

I just finished making a box for my DVDs. I put contact, 2 different colors that I had left over from redoing my file cabinet, onto a regular box that is the perfect size for DVDs. I know it is old fashioned to buy DVDs and CDs but I do. I like being able to play them independent of the internet. And my CDs I can play with batteries also so they are good for any kind of power outages. Music soothes me.

Earlier I made my breakfast, just bacon today, in my IP. It cooks it just right on the saute option.

The last few days, have not been good days for me. This morning my husband (we are separated) came and brought me water. He brings it in canning jars from our house. The water is very good and I have never tasted water that good anywhere else. So he fills a box full of quart jars and brings them to me. The water is full of chemicals. It is bad enough having to bathe in it or wash dishes in it. I think he is coming back in a couple of days to bring hay for Rabbit and I will have him take to the store for groceries. I know I need to learn to use the bus system before winter, but right now this will be better. Not having a good week and I really don't care to socialize on the bus the way I feel. I thought I was only depressed living in my house, but I see I get that way here too. Just not as bad.

Now I am cleaning Rabbit's cage and then will be time for supper. I am trying to do things earlier so I can get in bed early maybe that will help.

 

[VenomJockey]

Getting the camper in shape for an extended stay at the RV Park...couple windows need replacing and I want to get plexiglass instead of glass. Also want to get a small window a/c unit as the overhead a/c is way too cold!! Boy, it does a number! Also have to get a 15'x10' or 15'x15' cage fopr Bo & Lilly....the rules of the park are such that you either have to have them inside and walk them on a leash to do their business, or you have to have a cage (pen), and I want one large enough so they at least have a little space to jump around and play....the 10'x10' and 8'x10' just aren't large enough. The way it looks now is it will be the 1st before I'm actually ready to put the camper in the RV Park. Oh, yeah, and I have to get some more fishing gear, too!! Right on the river, and my tackle is too light for some of the things swimming around in that river....people have take 35-40 lb catfish out of that river!!

Now if it would just quit RAINING!! Rain for the last three days, 75%+ humidity, like trying to breathe in a waterfall!! 90+ temps, 75-80% humidity, feels like 110!!

 

[Star_Chick]

Making bread and watching movies. I’m too sick to do much else.

Have you considered an external hard drive for your computer? 2+ Terrabyte HDDs are available for under $60, and you're never gonna run out of room!! I have a 1 TB EHDD, and with all the music and videos I have on it (scores of videos, hundreds of albums), I've used up a little less than 1/2 the space available. Unless I am mistaken, you can get a cable for your phone to use the external HDD with the phone.

I have one. 3 terabytes. I have had it a long time because I write and have lots of pictures and text in it. And I am not really into the phone so much. I only use it for texting and talking because I was able to get it unlimited. I never used to talk on the phone but lately I have a friend who likes to talk to me since I moved so I am learning how to use it.

Much worse. I am trying to get into the doctor. I’m so dizzy most of the time, can’t sleep due to nausea, and I’m having other issues. Thank you for asking.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

@katlupe having CD's and DVD's are not old fashioned we have them here and like you love watching them as there isn't a lot of interesting things on free to air TV most of the time even though we have a couple of shows we love to watch. : Cut: to being in a more positive mood tomorrow and concentrate on doing things you love to do that give you pleasure, bubble baths come to mind to me.

@Star_Chick hoping you continue to improve and get better : Cut:.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

Not a lot of interesting stuff done as we tackled organising and cleaning the 3 bay garage out. DH and I moved out everything out of the shed and wiped over the furniture and some of the containers, cardboard moving boxes and fuel jerry cans in there and put them back. Still have to organise like for like things into boxes and tool kits and label everything and pressure clean all of the garden equipment to clean it and put it back. When we moved in here it was rather a rush and we really have not tackled organising it until now. We were at it from 9 am - 5 pm this afternoon and filled a recycling bin and our normal bin 3/4's full.

More shed cleaning on Friday to continue as we have decided to take a break for a couple of days as we are rather sore and tired after organising all the firewood under the house yesterday.

 

[WVDragonlady]

Rainy day today and a storm is predicted for later today. Just gonna do some cleaning and read some. Did order some leggings in my size ( I'm 6ft tall so most are too short that are in the stores) online. I was lucky enough to get them half price lol

 

[Sewingcreations15]

@WVDragonlady I have the same problem with getting the proper length in dresses and pants where they don't ride up on me too as I have very long legs and am above average women's heights. I have taken to buying retro dresses to get them long enough for me and they always look elegant because of the cut of them and the necklines are also what I would call modest unlike the ones that have an almost down to the navel neckline .
