Mrs. M. Did your nose just grow a bit? I appreciate you saying it though.
Sweety, at my age, nothing grows, it just drops!! 
Hey,
This party is getting rugged. I'm still at that young impressionable age. Don't I wish!

Uggg, can't sleep. Looks like I missed all the fun!
Thanks Everyone and Jake THAT was really a impressive Happy Easter - Thanks..
I can post a picture by bringing it down from Photo Bucket but haven't been able to attach it from my computer photos or a floppy. Mrs M: you posted the instruction
and I followed it close but couldn't make it work. Will try it again one day
Where is this place to send a personal message that gets transferred to E-Mail?
I'm really beat today - just had soup to make up for the Easter Binge. No treadmill today either - I'm off to Bed. A short Siesta..

Mory, go to the top and click on new and then private message.
Thanks, Mrs M: I'll give it a try... Have been gathering papers for Books, & Taxes and it's been a hellish week but do some each day. I was LOL at your post about things dropping - so true. No excercise this week just too darn tired - need a B-12 shot or something. I'll be OK again by tomorrow..
Have been taking my husband in for B12 shots once a week for the past month, Mory, plus he sniffs B12 in a jel up his nostrils! The geriatric doctor said it was the lowest he had ever encountered!
Mory, you're sounding a bit overextended lately. I hope you get some rest and rejuvenation, and good nutrition.
I'm only middle-aged, but I already find that I don't bounce back from eventful days as well as I used to do, when all my days were jam-packed with events. I used up a lot of my capacity for stress-absorption somewhere along the way.
Take care.

Yes littlebit: Where I used to bounce back in a day it now takes 4 or five..A lot of it is mental attitude. Equaly important is someone "caring" I really believe in "Mind over Matter" as well as thinking bad thaughts makes them happen. I know we don't control our destiny but we can feel better while makin g the trip...
I took a friend for "chinese buffet" and I Opened my Fortune Cookie as I said- This is for you: it said "Beware Of The One You Are With" No who the hell but me would
get a negative Fortune Cookie like that. we got a great laugh so guess it was worth it.

Mind over Matter?
They say if you don't mind, it doesn't matter!
In my mind, I'm 34, strong, healthy, and beautiful.
My body, however, thinks it's a little bit older!

Oh my,littlebit...you sound like my children, whom I can work circles around and have enough energy to bike or swim when I am done! I thinkl I have always thrived on work and staying busy!
Mrs.M...You sound like my husband! He has enough energy to power an entire state, if he could channel it that way. I will try not to envy you both! I am slow and steady, but I get things done in my own efficient way. I am the tortoise; he is the hare. 
Time to Jump Up and get crackin it's a beautiful Spring Day. I'm off 30 Miles to Walmart, a trailer of plants has come in from
Florida. Time to get a few fresh Palms for the Patio so I can make believe I am, in a warm place not Siberia. It's actually a plant rescue mission as they don't water anything - just sit them out in the wind until they die or are bought and rescued.

Lol, Mory, that is a great description of Walmart's floral dept.!!!
Littlebit, I drive my family crazy. I can't stand to see things not done. I can't stand to put things off or have anyone around me do so!

NO NO NO!! You need to get up! IF I am up at my age, you can get up!
Got some B-12 Pills at the Health Food Store
can't hurt with everything else I am taking.
I am really bummed out watching election coverage - I perceive Bush reving up the War - I hope it's not just for political gain.

Mory, my husband's doctor says that B12 is one of the few vitamins that cannot be assorbed via a pill, etc. It needs to be injected or sniffed up the nose in jel form!
Mrs M: I have been reading a lot on B-12 as have had shots for years. There is a lot of info on the Internet. Walmart was half the price of the Health food store. The pharmacist said the pills had only a token affect of the liquid. But stressed the shelf life of either was extremely short. Mine has a date window only 60 days. If I don't feel a response I will go back to the fresh.
I watched the 5 Hr hearing on CNN last night covering the review of filling prescriptions from Canada - really interesting.
Phizer stopped all shipments to Canada this week in retaliation to keep their prices up.
One man said you can buy now on the internet
any US drug from Rome or Berlin - only one day longer so why punish the Canadians.

Came home today to find the Mink Stole I sniped last week for Four dollars - bought it to restyle into winter caps. OMG it is
like new and beautiful - No way can I cut this up for caps. They really aren't worn anymore. Maybe I'll donate it to the wardrobe dept of our community Theater. $10
total for a $2,000 stole. Amazing E-Bay.

I buy a lot of prescriptions from Canada! Here, my husband's medicine would be around two thousand a month...from Canada, it is that much for three months! Big difference!
Here in Seattle some of the senior centers rent a bus and make a day trip up to Vancouver, BC to fill their prescriptions The local news just did a review of prices, and found prices varying greatly from pharmacy to pharmacy locally. Safeway was the highest for almost everything. Some of the local prices were lower than what the pharmacies in Canada were charging too.
Now if I could just find a pharmacist that would give me tylenol 3's over the counter (codeine is still available by signing for it, but finding a pharmacist that'll do it is virtually impossible) I could stop my excursions to Vancouver for 222's.

Sure Littlebit - I'll let you have it - I will send you an E-mail
BJ, i would beg to differ with you. Codeine is not available over the counter in the US! If someone gives it to you, they are not doing it legally! It is additive.
Mrs M ... my doctor and my pharmacist both told me that you can still sign for it at the prescription counter without a prescription (we were discussing cough syrups with codeine at the time - so perhaps you can't get actual codeine tabs). They said virtually no one would let you do it anymore, but that it was still legal. I'll have to ask again - maybe the law has changed in the last 5 years
Could be, BJ, but the nurses here are certainly told otherwise as was my daughter/doctor in Indiana! You can get it freely over the counter in Canada and also the Bahamas, but certainly not here in the East or the Midwest. It is a shame, as used properly, it was a wonderful medicine for a cough, but like a lot of things today, it was abused!
Where my Grandaughter goes to highschool, Friday, 5 kids overdosed on Corcidine tabs. I guess when you take 6 or more at once you feel drunk...oh, and sick shortly after! Anyway, they ended up in the hospital and suspended from school..a month before graduation!

Hurray! Thanks so much, Mory, for making a long-lost little girl's politically incorrect dream come true!So, do you think it really will make me look like Marilyn Monroe?
Well, If I were taller, and blonde, and younger, and all that?
Oh, well - one does what one can!
We have the same problem here with the kids and the antihistimines ... it's a wonder as many of them survive. I'm always amazed that people want to 'escape' reality when all they have to do is open their eyes and take a good look at the incredible world around them.
If you want something that will 'blow your mind' take a little visit to Nasa's web site; watch an episode or two of Nova; look at a drop of your blood under a microscope; plant a seed and watch it grow. Reality, now that's something to get your head spinning!

Mrs. M ... it appears that codeine cough syrup is the exception:
Schedule V
The drug or other substance has a low potential for abuse relative to the drugs or other substances in Schedule IV.
The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
Abuse of the drug or other substance may lead to limited physical dependence or psychological dependence relative to the drugs or other substances in Schedule IV.
Over-the-counter cough medicines with codeine are classified in Schedule V.
Rats ... that still puts my 222's out of reach (they appear to be schedule III).

I can only get a 30 day supply now used to get 90. and no refills. Worse I had to remove ALL PILLS from my med cabinet..put them in a bag, locked in the car. I then suspended my neighbors kids
from using my pool table - as they used the bathroom. Then the father called - you calling my kids a thief.? No just can't have kids here anymore - not even if they are with you - sorry. Question - If you trust them why don't they have keys for your house? Why did they have to wait at my house for you to come home? No answer.

Just came back from my Godson's Sixth Birthday. It was great fun and took
a few pictures. I gave him a small 10 cu ft chest freezer. Something to keep his Ice Pops in for summer. Started Him out with Giant Bags of Popcorn. Next year I'm giving him his own NY Hot Dog Cart. He's already talking about his cool-aid business
on the lawn. Last year he made $220 for his college fund. His older brother seven can't be bothered - says he will marry a rich girl. Wish I could be around to see what happens.

Hey, Mory - Want to be godfather to my kids?
It is interesting how kids in the same family can be so different. My 16 year old works at our office two hours a day, then takes his money to the bank and tells the teller he wants 10% in cash to give at church, 20% in checking to spend, and 70% in savings. He then saves up his checking account funds for a particular gadget he wants - usually something to do with video games. He knows what he has at all times to the penny. Meanwhile, his 13 year old brother is RICH when he first gets paid - fast food, music, guitar accessorites, and computer gadgets - then BROKE for two weeks.
We try to give guidance without over-controlling them, because the mistakes they learn from now will be cheaper than the mistakes they'll learn from later. But it is hard for me to watch them.

Littlebit: Your last paragraph is very Wise:
My dad never allowed us mistakes: He used to always say" Let me do that: You will just fxxx it up- so I had to leave home to
learn anything. He set me back 10 years.
At about 50 I told him what he did and he called me ungrateful. I called him a spoiled brat and the world's worst father.
We were always slow communicators. At 76 we became friends until he was 86, and grew up. My mother on the other hand taught me everything she knew - from making pizza to typing (which saved my life when I went to Korea) Some people just know how to be a parent and others not.

I have always said that they should give people tests before they were ever allowed to parent children!
Mrs. M ... they did give my parents tests (well, interviews) - my sister and I were adopted. Didn't work well as there was no follow up! Mory's father sounds a lot like mine, but add a lot of early times bourbon Didn't start drinking until I was 5 so he passed the interviews
I learned most of what I know from television and books ... my mother was a saint, but she could burn water! She did impart her sense of morality - for which I am eternally grateful.

Mory - Thanks for the compliment.
Mrs. M - Just on principle, I don't like the idea of some government agency dictating who can have children, but it is a tempting thought when you see some of the damage done by poor child-training. I wish people gave more thought to training kids for ALL of adult life (character, ethics and morality, habits, work and service ethic, personal responsibility, financial skills, communication skills, marriage, child-raising, basic usefulness and life skills) instead of just academics, sports, and entertainment. Parents think teachers teach everything, teachers wish parents would train their kids better, and most kids leave school poorly equipped for anything above mediocrity in the real world.
BJ - Growing up with a heavy-drinking parent or other family problem is tough! My parents went through some rough times, too. Television and especially good books were also my companions and teachers. I chose to model my life after what I read and aspired to, and always promised myself I would do better than my family had, and I try, but I catch myself falling into their patterns at times. It has helped me to have compassion and appreciation for them to realize they were just flawed people like I am, doing their best, too. When we are young, we naturally idealize the concept of Mother and Father into some sort of icon. Sometimes it helps us when we become adults to realize that our parents were only our age or younger when they made their mistakes, and they had variables in their lives we weren't aware of. Sometimes it helps to think of them as Martha and Ted (or whatever their names were), instead of "Mom" and "Dad" with big capitalized titles. That they were weak and imperfect doesn't mean they didn't love us, and even if they didn't love us, it doesn't mean anything about US - just them.
Wow - I'm rambling again. I think too much! Sorry for pontificating. Can you tell I write and teach on family life for a living? Please forgive my "lecture mode".

Littlebit .... I just wrote a huge response that was quite cathartic! Perhaps a little more revealing of myself and upbringing than I'm willing to share at this time, but it felt really good to put it into words! Thanks for the provocation!
I'm glad!
