Good morning. Just watched the last Shuttle landing ever. Watched the first landing on my parent’s TV. Watched this one on my iPad. It has been a great 30 years.

Mornin.
I wish I had gotten up to see the landing. I forgot to set my clock early.
I hope everyone has a great day.
Morning. Hubby got up with the dogs, let me sleep. I’m on vacation & he has to go to work. Tomorrow will be my early morning.
hey all!!!!!.
Morning friends. It is hot, nothing follows!
Good morning to everyone. Getting ready for a doctor appointment still have 30 minutes before we leave, but at least PD can’t pull the old excuse to have to go “Pee” as I am standing waiting to go out the door. LOL!!!
PD was just bugging me to let’s go. His appointment is at 9:00 am and it is only 7 miles and maybe 15 minutes away depending how many red lights you get stopped by. Oh, Patience my sweet dear or I may back hand you. LOL!!!
Morning folks. No internet at the condo. Thanks for 3G. Had a wonderful meal last evening. Off to meeting to do what I’m getting paid to do. Later.
morning gang!
everyone have a great day!
Good morning. Been inspired by MR’s writing this morning.
well we arrived before appointment at 9 now 10:40 and still waiting!!!!
PM I hate when you get done that way at the doctor office they want you to be early for your appiontment then you have to sit and wait and wait and wait, there have been times that I have sat in th exam room and thought; Did they forget I am back here? at UMC they say that employees get VIP treatment if we get VIP treatment I would hate to be a patient that is not employed here. they want us to use the doctors here but I can’t see where we are treated any different they other patient the VIP treatment is supose to means that we see the doctor on time so we can get back to work–yea right!
something I read about – people billing the doctors for missed appointment times. It might work.
I saw that on world news or something recently too.
Morning. Flitting in.
Anybody heard from Clucky? Oh wait, I’ll text her and see what’s going on.
Clucky said … still here
Marshall, for the benefit of us who are on your blog could you give us a paragraph on each of the candidates running for governor and lt. governor? My head has been so buried in local politics that I just realized eeeeek! we are having a state election too.
hey.
I was wondering about cluck too. thanks for the update.
card, this is a pretty good website for statewide candidates:
http://www.votesmart.org/election_state.php?state_id=MS
it’s been a busy day.
thanks. I know who is running, just haven’t had time to digest any of the yada yada yada they put out.
Well thank goodness I’ve been asked to work the Pearl election next Tuesday where the vote for or against liquor sales in Pearl will take place. It’s the only thing on the ballot. And the following Tuesday, I am working the state election. Two long Tuesdays ahead, thank goodness.
I’m being picked up at 12:30 by one of my old classmates who now lives around the corner from me and is playing bridge with us for the first time.
Son of Pluck acts up again.
PD’s fracture is no better if anything the doctor said the line was easier to see through than it was the first of June meaning no healing. He has put him in another brace the one he should have had since day one. I am being told that insurance will not pay for because he already has a brace. It doesn’t matter if it was the one prescribed originally or not. Off to work now. Looks like we are in for a storm here in Clinton.
Will catch up later.
oh pm. that’s some crap. why didn’t they do the right brace the first time? sorry for the troubles.
MR will be back in my neck of the woods tomorrow. been coming down south quite regularly lately.
I am going to a wedding tomorrow night down the road in LA. a catholic wedding. I went to one years ago and I remember it was really long and really different from our ol’ baptist weddings and receptions. I’m looking forward to it though.
Went to a catholic wedding once.
At the reception, the priest’s pet poodle would retrieve the corks of the champagne bottles when he opened them. That priest and I were pretty good friends by the end of the afternoon….just sayin’.
LOL! I’ll bet you were blues. LOL. That’s so funny.
If interested in the candidates, you might check the CL site for the videos of their editorial board meetings. I know they have all the State Treasurer candidates on there. I feel they will put others up as they happen.
Gov. candidates debate tonight. CL it’s on WTVA.
Good evening to you all!!!! I hope you all have a good evening.
Evenin!
I think I’ve pulled a muscle in my back. It is just on one side, but when I move a certain way…YOW!
Debate is coming on WLBT.
Coop quit moving that certain way!!!! j/k, bless your heart :) back pain is no fun :(
Coop, I sympathize with you!! Back pain is no fun at all!! Hope it passes quickly.
PM, I am really sorry about the extra expense.
The extra expense was just the principle of a doctor and a hospital making an error that we should not be responsible for. This brace may not make a difference in the healing either, but at least we would be a step closer in knowing than still being at day one again.
I just hate it when insurance companies don’t pay for what they should or doctors don’t make the right decisions to start with!!! And, yes, I realize you work in the insurance business, but you are not the insurance company!!
I don’t understand how they gave him the wrong brace in the first place! And it’s not just the principle, it’s his NECK! If the fracture is worse now than when they first gave him the brace, it’s THEIR fault!! Hell, PM, I’d go after them with both barrels!!
I can’t get to facebook from hime. Has anyone seen a posr from clucky? How is it going there in pass christian?
I haven’t seen any updates, Card. I’m afraid no news is not good in this case.
Praying for Clucky and her family. I know this is a hard time.
Getting ready to hit the sack. Y’all sleep well, or as best you can…
Tomorrow will be here before you know it.
nite to all and prayers for Clucky and family and anyone else.
Coop I would love to blast them for the neck brace and for not giving him the shots while in ICU to prevent blood clots, but not sure it would be worth the aggravation of it all.
That aggravation would be a lot milder than what you both have suffered and the aggravation you continue to suffer. At least you would have a chance of being monetarily rewarded for some of the aggravation.
It’s 2:15 Friday morning. I was awakened by a right-sided migraine and a VERY angry Left shoulder. Took meds, sitting outside looking at the half-moon shining through the clouds and listening to her moan and cry. So heartbreaking. Hospice came in yesterday afternoon and placed a catheter to confirm; kidneys have shut down. She is too weak even to suck through a straw, so we are giving meds with a syringe and begging her to swallow. She was having moments of clarity when we first got here, but now she’s unable to speak clearly and not focusing. I know it’s all in the Lord’s hands and on his timeline. Just trying our best to keep her comfortable.
I left yesterday for a while to get some things at WalMart we needed. Rather than take I-10 to Long Beach then go south, I just stayed south on the road I wqs on, forgetting I was several miles closer to Ground Zero of “The Storm.” Nobody says Katrina down here…just those two words…”The Storm” and you know what they mean. I was still and guess I always will be shocked by all the slabs and even the few storm-ravaged homes that are still here. Driving East, I had almost lost my bearing (granted, water on my right-I wasn’t lost) just not aware I was in the middle of an area I used to know so well, til WM appeared like an apparition on my left. I sat in the parking lot a while before going in, just looking around in awe. As I entered the store, I again saw the flag on the wall with the names of those employees who lost their lives in The Storm. I had to turn my head as I passed it to keep from seeing it clearly; every time it takes my breath away and immediately puts me in tears, and tears are not something I need more of right now.
I sit here listening to the crickets and frogs and her moans, knowing my whining about headaches and various pains are nothing compared to the frustration and hopelessness I see in her eyes and in those of Tim and Poppy. I have prayed more in the last couple of days, shoot, months, for her than I ever did while I was dealing with Mama. There has been a lot of I-wish-I-would-haves going through my mind about Mama’s last weeks with us, and I am doing all I can to not let those same wishes haunt this family in the future. Hospice has helped with that too, but I am sure my therapist would tell me I am working through any lingering grief, doubts and guilt I may have about Mama’s passing. I can’t do much to help her, so I do what I know she would be doing-keeping the place clean, scrubbing, cooking (like a fiend) and trying to keep her “men” happy.
God, please bless this sweet, wonderful lady. Make this a peaceful transition into Your Kingdom. I know she has seen You…I did clearly hear her say, “Hey, Momma!” and she lost her Mom when she was just a little bitty girl. Bring her home, Lord. She’s ready. Amen.
