Happy Hump Day!! We're doing the "4 H's" around here..........hot, hazy, humid and hellish. I was out this morning to clean the birdbaths, fill the feeders and water the flowers and within 10 minutes, I was a limp dishrag. After 30 minutes outside, all I wanted was to get back inside, take my clothes off and get a cold drink. Other than that, there's not much going on around here. The kids start school next week (Wednesday) and it'll be nice to see some kids outside for a change. I can't believe the difference from when I was a kid........we were outside no matter how hot it was. These days, you can't pull the kids away from their video systems. I literally can count on ONE hand the number of times I've seen the kids outside this summer. What's everybody else doing around here? Kinda quiet. And Vicki........where ARE you?? -- Piggy's Pad

Hello! My SIL had both knees replaced yesterday and my mom had a hip done today. Both are doing well. It's hotter than blazes here but I hear Arizona is really bad! Usually is! Between headaches and grandkid on the computer, I just don't sit here much some days, (NT) -- Denise, 3:04:21 pm, Wed, 08/08/07
Oh wow, big 2 days there! Glad they are both doing well. Thats some major surgery there. Hope they both continue to do well and heal quickly!! Hey, I'd love to see some new pics of the kids! (NT) -- Ramona, 4:09:14 pm, Wed, 08/08/07
Denise, that's great news that both your SIL and your Mom came through thier surgeries so well!!! (NT) -- Kate, 8:03:29 pm, Wed, 08/08/07
Denise, I'm so relieved that your SIL and your mom came through their surgeries okay but it sounds like you're really going to have your hands full. Do you have any idea how long your mother will have to be in the hospital? That's a lot of running for you to have to do. And your headaches? Do you have any idea what's causing them? Honey, you need a break. It would be so wonderful for you if you were feeling great, Leon was healthy, your family was all healthy and happy and the animals could put any and all of their problems on hold. Kind of a week-long Calgon moment! That's what I'm wishing for you.............! (NT) -- Sandy, 6:50:52 am, Thu, 08/09/07
Yeah, I hear ya. We are setting records here today too. I myself just got out of the pool. I can't beleive I got a sunburn after 4 o'clock! I'll just be working on that brochure and then to bed by 9. I think the heat is supposed to break tomorrow. (NT) -- Ramona, 4:07:29 pm, Wed, 08/08/07
It sure has been hot....I worked the WW meeting tonight and the only good thing about that was it was Air Conditoned!! I haven't been here much..it's just too hot sitting in this computer room right now..I've got the ceiling fan going but it's not moving much air I'm afraid!!!
Sandy, I asked below but maybe you didn't see it, how is Cricket doing? Have you had a chance to look into his mouth? How is Emme doing? I hope she is better... (NT) -- Kate, 7:59:20 pm, Wed, 08/08/07
Thanks for asking, Kate. Cricket is doing wonderfully!! He grumbles, stalks around the house and loves to come into the bathroom with me when I do my soaking. For whatever reason, he loves being petted with a wet, soapy hand. And after my shower, he goes into the bedroom with me to flop on the bed with the fan on to cool/dry off..........but he gets so excited over the smell of the soap, he drools. I've only checked his mouth once and that was about a week ago. It looked horrible, at least to me. All black and burnt looking. But he's eating well and playing so right now, I'm not too worried. But I do need to check his mouth again. The problem is...........we got him another depo shot 3 days before the laser surgery and the depo shots are usually good for about 3 weeks. So we have to wait and see if his mouth breaks out again at the 3-4 week mark. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:42:38 am, Thu, 08/09/07
Emme, on the other hand, is her usual sunny self. She's already puked all over the floor this morning. I had picked up the food dish and put it on the table, then went to the bathroom without thinking about moving the bowl. During the time I was in the bathroom, she jumped up on the table, cleaned out the bowl and then puked it all up again near the front door. Right now, she's crying for more food but I'm not feeding her anything else. She's gonna have to wait. If we could just get her over this "binge and purge" cycle, she'd be perfect. She's just so darn cute and has such a wonderful personality..........a little stinker but still a great cat. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:46:20 am, Thu, 08/09/07
Sound like even though his mouth may look "ugly" it must not be bothering him if he is acting like himself and grumbling and all...that is good news.....
Poor Emme....don't you just wish you could teach them (tell them so they would understand) that they don't have to eat so quickly that there is enough food and you won't take it away from her....maybe then they would slow down a bit and not get sick!! Maggie seems a bit better on this point too...since she was ill and quit eating the Hills Senior I had to change her food...well this food is more triangular in shape and she can't seem to eat it as quickly...so she has slowed herself down in eating, and it seems to be helping with the throwing up too...just like Denise had said....Good Luck...
