So come and get it!

Howdy all!
I'M SSSOOOO MAD!!! The Dr.'s office finally got back to me yesterday on my tests that I took about three weeks ago! The reason given was my file was filed under the WRONG Dr. and WRONG letter of the alphabet.
Can you believe it?
The results are my triglicerides are 169 as opposed to 150. No prob there, and my liver enzymes were a little elev. BUT no results on the clorest. test and the other one that I have no idea what it was all I know is they pulled 4 vials with only 2 results.
Gonna get my file copied and find a different DR. Here I go again! Oh well may be the next one will be smarter.
Train show tomorrow so I'll be busy all day.
Sorry I haven't been on again but rest assured that Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers always!

Evening, thought I'd better get in here when I seen the pie. Didn't see any strawberry-rubarb, so think I'll have some peach cobbler with a scoop of icecream n coffee, please Cleo.
WELCOME Bob, missed your thread out on the main board,but I don't get around much when the grandkids are here. Thoughts n prayer be with you n yours on your loss and remember there's always freinds here if'en ya need to talk any time.
Trent, man you've had a time of it with the doc's, hope you get more anserwes from a new one.
Cleo, the cobbler was good, think I'll have one of JEFF's barleypops over in the corner booth n watch the trains go by

Good evening everyone......the weather forecasters are so worried about this LOW coming to the Atlantic coast from the Panhandle of TX, that there are going to send a HURRICANE HUNTER aircraft into the storm when it goes off the coastline. They expect this storm to "bomb" as they say in meteorological terms, which is slang for explode into a very big storm. It is going to hit us on Sunday noontime.
WELCOME BOB I'd offer you a piece of Strawberry-Rhubarb pie, but it seems that two customers in the Diner devoured the entire pie between the two of them, then tried to put the blame on me and poor RT...tsk, tsk........just wait until FERGIE hears of this behavior. Somebody is going to be on KP duty for a month!!
SUE: Watch out for Frenchmen from NS!!!! LOL
TRENT: Doesn't that get your goat????? People in too much of a rush to file properly. I think you are correct...it is time to find another Primary Dr.
JEFF: Better watch that pitcher of suds, look whose sneaking behind your table?
MIKE: That is too bad.....that is a serious financial hit to many farmers, and they recover for another year on Junebearers. We are seeing a similar proble here with Maple Sugar harvesting. The season is getting shorter and shorter which is seriously cutting into profits. Expect the price of Maple Syrup to be going higher this year.
Side Note for TV: National Geographic Channel has a documentary this Monday night and again next Friday night, on a guy who has literally lived with wolves. He raised some as pups,then taught them to act as wolves before returning to the wild. If you go to the NG website, you can read about the show and see a short film clip of this action.
Later,

We are all about fun here. What are you modeling?
Sue
I model the B&O through Chessie. No specific time period and mostly diesel. Love to throw in C&O, WM, some L&N, Pere Marquette and B&LE. My favorites are B&O F3s and 7s, Chessie any EMD GP38, 40s and SD35 and 40s. Then along came CSX and wrecked the RR.
I'm in the South Shore Model RR Club in Hingham, Ma (same one as Paul3). Been enjoying this hobby for over 20 years, no home layout- no real need- as the massive club one does take up most of my layout building time. I don't touch any benchwork when I go there, as a finish carpenter for 35 years, the last thing I want to do when at the club is the same thing I have been doing all day. I love building scenery, structures, bridges, abutments reataining walls ect.
I have been wanting to post pics of some recent scenery but need some PC savy help at my end. It's great how some of you whip up these pics, especially that great menu. Think I'm getting hungry now. What's good here anyway?
Bob,
I have only had a digital camera since September. I posted a thread and asked for help with choosing it. Once I made that decision, someone suggested photobucket. Move the photos that you want to post to photobucket, and then use the how to post photos at the top of the threads. I have found if the photo does not post, it can be as simple as missing one letter. We will look forward to your photos.
Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Hey, Dick, Jeff, Bob, and Sue, y'all got any of that beer left?
It goes well with apple pie a la mode!
Okay, I know how to make it up to you all.
I will bring in some of my famous, too good to eat Bananas Foster! That's a popular dessert made famous by Brennan's Restaurant in New Orleans.
Dig in!
Oh, did I tell you it has dark rum and banana liquor in the recipe!!!!

It's really late here, but I've got some news. We attended a local fund raiser for charities this evening. They auctioned off all kinds of stuff and had a few raffles.
Shelley and I paid $10.00 for 3 raffle tickets for a Panasonic 42" Plasma Flat Screen HDTV.
Guess what?
We Won the TV!
Neither of us is much of a TV fan. However, it's kinda neat to win!
Good morning
Happy MRRing
Good morning ! from Indiana.

Near a cornfield in Indiana...
Mornin, an irish coffee please Janie
Been rainin here most the night I think, radar showing PC gettin it too. So far no snow but the days far from over. Oh well, maybe I can get in some play time between honey-do's n kids.
DICK, some of the farmers are going to be hurtin, but most the fruit farmers have other sources of income, If the weather would turn around, there may be a small crop. The veggie crops can all be replanted that were damaged, it was way early anyway.
GARRY, congrads on winning the TV, that was a good deal for ten bucks.
One of our darn cats keeps going to the door hollerin to go out, then when he see's it's rainin turns n runs off. One more time n he's going out like it or not. Hope ya'll has a good day, stay dry
Yup, you nailed it inch....rain. We're right on the edge of it, but at least it's not freezing cold snow!
Gotta head to school this morning. Really not in the mood. I'd rather sleep in, but oh well. It's good for me!
Gerry, $10 for a 42" TV.....not bad! Congrats! It's fun to just "win" sometimes, huh?

Scrambled eggs for me today.
Well, good morning guys.
Really need that coffee...
Spent most of the morning sorting emails. Things are winding down at the house. Slowly the family is leaving to head home. My mother will be staying to help out for a while. With her great Italian cooking there'll be no need to have any dinner at the diner. So it may be a quick wave as I pass.
I find that the mornings are the hardest, They were always a special time, even spending a few minutes quality time with my wife April.
I'm still not back to work yet. I really knew weeks ago that something was up with my wife's condition. I postponed future work and spent all my time with her. I thank God I did so, no regrets at all. There will be plenty of time to scramble to put those kitchens and reordering back into a schedule.
A good friend of mine want me to help him to do some installs and finish work in Cambridge on some condos. He knows I'm not ready to jump back into my normal contract work. This way I can just show up and do the work almost out of habit with no real worries. If I'm not up to the task, just leave and they can pick up the slack.
Great freinds and support are everywhere. It's times like these that bring out the best in people, and your true friends really shine.
So, what's up for today.... I have the entire day and trains are going to be a good part of it.
My mother has never seen the progress at the club and wants to see the layout. My daughter has always wanted to stage photo shots to photoshop the layout and my equipment. She's a photo/art major @ Northeastern U, so we'll see if I can get some nice shots to show you.
What have you guys planned for this weekend?
I'm ready for another cup and maybe a danish.
Good morning everyone... today we have the calm before the storm...a BIG storm. I am glad I don't live right on the water, there is going to be some serious flooding and damage, not to mention beach erosion. Right now, it is a cool 43F, partly cloudy skies, with winds out of the west at 8 mph.
We have been helping our DIL all morning getting ready for a surprise 40th BD for son #2 ( Mike ), the infamous , black ballon, 40th Birthday. Can all you guys remember turning 40???? ( Except all you youngsters of course )
DER JOHN: The heavy rains will hit you by Monday morning at 8am Atlantic Time, no snow, but real heavy rains and high winds. Try to get some photos of the coastline in front of your house, the seas should reach 20 feet with Astrological high tide plus New Moon.
MIKE: If the cat wants out so bad, maybe the New Madrid fault is about to let go, animals sense these things far better than any instruments do. Or, it could be, naaaaaahhh, you had him fixed, right Mike?
GARRY: EXCELLENT !! A 42" Plasma HDTV!!!! Can you imagine what those RR videos are going to look like on the TV???? Get out a couple of DVD's and check out that picture, you will be amassed !!!!!!!
Bogp40: Ahhhh, a neighbor...well.....not too far away at Weymouth, about 45 miles as the Crow flies. You must be near the former Naval Air Station?
PC: I'm surprised that you could get up this morning after eating pigging-out on all that pie in the Diner, poor RYAN is still in bed...tsk, tsk. What course are you taking?
JEFF: Pretty humid down there today I see, 64F DP!!! No wonder so much moisture is feeding into this big storm that has the weather forecasters all excited. Is the air conditioner ON yet? Normally, we don't have to use ours up here until June.
Well, got to get going, have to go to bakery to pick up the big 40th BD cake, see you guys later...
Howdy everybody.
Bob K...... It's good that you are sharing your feelings with your friends so they can care about you. And of course, being a believer, you will be continue being comforted by the Lord. Nice that "Mom" can be there for you too. Sounds like you have a good family. I suspect all of the diners will agree that your time with model trains is good for you also. I know I take my "sanity breaks" in the train room during difficult times. Blessings to you and your family.
Inch, Philip, Dick, and so on......... yes we feel fortunate to win the TV. As I said, we reallly don't spend much time watching TV. I've already thought of Dick's suggestion train DVD's an I have a bunch of railroad Video cassettes. .... One problem already is where to put it. It won't fit in the entertainment center. We've got some ideas on that one. I can see it now. I'll take valuable MRR time to hook up the TV.
We missed the first part of the local fund raiser due to attend a church meeting. They had some good deserts, too. (Now, you're getting a clue as to why I'm willling to attend church.) The red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting was so outstanding, I made no secrets that I liked it. The pastor gave us some extra pieces to bring home. Soooooooooooo..................since Ryan's eating all the pie .......... I get red velvet cake.......... ...... pass the tim Horton's coffee, please.
Happy Model Railroading.
Good Morning All...Cold rainy with maybe some snow flurries coming in later but the weather guy says gonna start to warm back up starting Sunday hope so anyway...I'l have the Blue plate special and a diet Coke please..Thank You...I had a pretty good day working on the layout yesterday I reskinned the Moutain tunnel section and recarved the plaster and worked on the High Way overpass that is supose to hid the mirror that extends the 2 track interchange...
Gary..Congrats on that new TV...That will be the berries for watching train DVD's....
Bob....Our thoughts and prayers are with you...Its great that your Mother is there with you...
Well Sallie and I are looking for a good weekend and wish the same for all....Jerry
Thanks all, for the comforting words.
Dick: Yes I'm just across Weymouth from the old NAS. Actually I was stationed there toward the end of my service. I flew in SP2H and P3 Orions as an acoustic operator ASW sub chasers. My club is in Hingham only 5 min from my house.
I am ready to head to the club w/ family for a small run session and photo shoot. My daughter is gathering her D70 and goodies as I write. If I have any trouble with posting pics, I know you guys can walk me through it.
Have a good day, gota run... the trains are waiting- There's a Chessie coal drag staged and ready for departure.
Chow time, think I'll have some bbq ribs n fries and a barley pop Janie
No kids, so I've been working some on the layout this morning while Mother's gone on an unplanned trip to Springfield with #1 son. Jamie moved since he was there last and don't know his way around up there very well
BOB, glad you have family round it helps alot.
DICK, don't think it the fault line, it's the fact that the cats would rather go out n dig in the kids sandbox, than use their litter box. We have 2 tom cats, neither ones fixed YET.
Well lunch was good, thanks Jeff. Need ta get started on some honey-do's, but think I'll get me a nap first

BOBK: A D70, that's the same camera that I bought two years ago, I love it, great pics and great features too.
JEFF: 70F sounds real nice right now.....I just knew that this would happen when we had exceptionally warm weather from October to February 1st, then the hammer fell.....now I suppose Summer won't begin until July, and we can forget about Spring....ohhh well !!!
MIKE: TWO (2) Tom cats?? Better get them fixed or they will be howling at the moon and driving you guys crazy.
Later guys,
