The Kitchen Table

Lurking, update and hello :)

18 years ago

Hello!! :)

It's been awhile since I have made a post. I have been lurking though and as always following along with all that is going on here. My thoughts and prayers have been going out to all who need them. And I have been laughing along with all of your funny stories as well.

The last 2 months have been......something. DH is in physical therapy now. He has been in water therapy for 5 weeks and will start land therapy on Monday. He has been having severe leg pain. He had his first post-op appointment with the surgeon on the 8th and the doctor said the leg pain is a direct result of inflammation in his back, that is pressing down on a nerve, and he gave him a strong anti-inflammatory that lasts only 1 week. The last 2 days DH has been doing much better. I am thankful for that. He goes back to the doctor on Feb. 19th until then, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Other than that, we are all doing well. I just KNOW that 2008 is going to be great. :) I hope you all had a very Happy New Year.

((((KT))))

You and DH are in my prayers today.
It's good to "see" you again.

Wonderful to hear from you!!! Raising a family takes priority over talking to us any day. Do you know what the new baby will be? It is the norm to know before hand these days. " In my time you just took what came out"! LOL A lot of posters have come and gone in the few years I have been on the forum, so it is nice to know you still check in once in a while. Make sure you let us know about the new baby. Connie

acenjason: I have the same in my bin but they are BROWN. I think they are some sort of mites because they sometimes go to the top of the bin (seeking oxygen? I read the link from mndtrp) - I don't see legs either! Maybe I'll look with the magnifying glass! This weekend, none were on the sides or top but I noticed a lot in the cast when I went to feed wormies. Since I started the bin (August 2007) I haven't added water, except maybe a MILD mist-spray when I put in the shredded newsprint and the bottom 1/3 of the bin is sticky/wet & depending on the foodstuff, will leak out (I have holes on the bottom). I guess I'll leave the bin open today - but the link said the mites would travel up?? When my cover has a lot of them, I shoot them off with the hose (away from the bin!). I'm looking for pictures - I know I saw a post with pictures.

Ginger!!! So good to hear from you! I, too, was gone for quite awhile and recently returned. This great forum has already pushed me to resume organizing. Today was the first day someone came over unannounced and I felt perfectly at ease about it. That is HUGE for me! I hope you start posting more. I've always enjoyed what you've had to share! Sheryl

Thanks everyone. I will check out the 'New to GW" thread. The house has been vacant for four years. An investor came in and bought the house (along with two others) and had every intention of flipping it. He gutted it and then lost it to the bank. There is no flooring, cabinets, toilets....nada. Everything is gone. To include many of the walls and ceilings. This is essentially starting from scratch but the structure is there. We did have a structural engineer come in prior to purchasing it...we just wanted to make sure that we weren't buying something that would have to be torn down. The home is only 15 years old. I'll check out the other threads and then I'll be back! :)

Hi heather! Been thinking about you both. Did you get my email after my posting about driving past your town? I know you responded to the post, but I sent you an email privately thru GW, also.
