I don't imagine she would mind me sharing her email of what she has been up to. Here it is... "we are fine, LOL yes, been crazy busy here, as usual LOL my 2 are growing like crazy!! LOL i started winter sowing late, so i "winter sowing" them in the house!! it started out as an accident! Imagine that!! LOL and i have some tomato sprouts and a bell pepper sprout so far! LOL boy am i late this year!! LOL still home schooling the kids, and we got a new puppy, she's a yorkie, she won't get any bigger than 4 lbs. funny thing about that, we have a samoyed husky, a chihuahua (we rescued from a puppy mill) and now her, all different sizes!@! LOL and they all 3 play together well. **big smile** How has this winter been treating you? i hope well!! **big smile** has spring shown any signs of showing up in your neck of the woods?? i sure hope so :') it sure was nice to hear from you, that's for sure!! **big smile** i'll have to check in at the conversation side sometime. once in a great while i do LOL and sometimes just as a lurker LOL seeing if there's anything new going on. LOL Hugz ~medo" Hopefully she can and will check in here herself sometime a little later. I can't imagine her being a lurker and not posting. She is usually pretty wordy and adds a lot here, always in a nice way. Sue

Here I am. Thank-you Nancy for giving me a pointer in this direction. I'm fine and I'm not. Off work at the moment with health issues. Hopefully nothing but I'm having problems. Doc found my thyroid out of whack a few months back and that was a major stride forward. Mostly healthy enough to make it to work and have a drink after work. Work is half the problem. Mostly stress issues that I suspect are not helping my personal health. Telling myself that I'm strong enough to beat the stress. Expected blow-back from my getting control of the chemicals situation. I think I have control... or more so then in the past. Some new issues but all I've had to do is e-mail and things get taken care of. That is all I ask as a safety person is that things get looked at and a rational decision made. Some recent personal attacks that I have weathered fairly well so far. Ahh... work place drama! Some serious consideration to going off on disability. Almost enough to live on... almost. Kitties are all fine. Favorite moved to the garage and has pet door access to the great outdoors. She turned into a world-class mouser... pity the small rodents in her sights. Leelee moved in and her former owner was a young girl. Leelee has this whole surrogate baby syndrome going on so she sleeps with her head on my pillow and lays on her back in the crook of my arm. Impossible not to love her. Yoko is getting old and spends more time sleeping in warm spots then I care for. Annie and Jessy remain litter mate close and are seldom apart from each other. Three watermelons on the vine in my garden this week! : ) lyra

Yayyyyyy! I got a reply. She got your message Nita and my email and one from Liz. She says she will be here in about a week to post. Whew! I feel better now! She said thanks for thinking of her!

We tried watching Librarians; Cindy couldn't get into it. So we stopped watching after just a few episodes. We watch quite a few shows. We DVR them and watch them on our schedule. Scorpion, Gold Rush, Moonshiners, Edge of Alaska, Alaskan Bush People, The Last Alaskans, Railroad Alaska, Naked and Afraid, The Middle, Mysteries of Laura, Law and Order SVU, Royal Pains, Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, Last Man Standing, Bones, Local news every night, ZNation, iZombie, Castle, Good Wife, The Last Ship, The Muppets, etc. I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now. We watch a lot of TV. And this list doesn't include the shows Cindy watches on her own. We get movies from RedBox, and Netflix, and have Hulu plus. There is certainly not a shortage of stuff to watch. While I'm napping, Cindy will do some housework, then watch a show episode, then go do more housework, and repeat. Sometimes I think all we do is watch TV.
