I like my doctor, but I will not go see him unless I absolutely have to. I am without health insurance and it's $80.00 up front for an office visit, even if I am only having his nurse check my blood pressure.
I've got the coffee brewing and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice. Pancake batter is ready for pouring on the grill, and I've got the bacon frying, and I am about to scramble some eggs. There is also french toast with hot maple syrup for anyone who wants it.
It's a cold morning here in South Dakota, 29 degrees. Although I suppose it will eventually get colder than that.
I hope everyone out there has a good day!
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Well Tom; why is it that we know more than the doctors that
supposedly treat us? 'Cause we know what bothers us most!
Hope that doctor got the remedy correct; and hope you don't
have to go throught stuff you shouldn't have too.
Our Thoughts and Prayers are still out there for you and others
that need them.
(FYI, for what it's worth; I HATE Drs. and won't go unless it's
totally serious.)(define serious.)

grampaw pettiboneLarry, that girl is a real beauty at 8 months and will undoubtedly grow into somebody awesome. You have a right to be proud.
Haven't been down to see them since July, but I can tell she's really starting to develop some personality. Should be fun at Thanksgiving.
She's still a tiny thing, though, a point brought home by comparing her to the pup.
Tom - If a shingles and pink-eye can be good news, they certainly are. I recently attended a seminar on stroke - they're starting to get a handle on them, much as they have with heart attacks, and prompt treatment can make all the difference in the world. I'm sure you'll get it all under control soon, now that you know what's going on.

grampaw pettibone Wellll, I was seen by an old time country doctor who knows his stuff. It turns out I have pink eye and shingles on my face. Apparently, it is not all that serious, only painful, which it is very much indeed. Three doctors had looked at it previously and told me it was just a headache, which should shortly pass. This afternoon, I knew better, and finally I can get some treatment for the stuff. Thanks for the kind wishes.

OUCH! Shingles is very painful. Hope you get to feeling better Tom!
Ray, thanks for the kind words.

Good photo of activity with granddaughter at home.....And the little wiener dog...We had miniature Doxie dogs for 33 years....One at a time, but just two of them. They are almost human too.

Larry, is that Evie? She sure is growing.
Yep - almost eight months.
grampaw pettibone This headache is getting worse, and definitely not just a headache. It's off to the emergency room to see what's going on. Wish me well

tree68Dan and Misty - Congrats. It's a new journey! Picked up some candy today, so I'm ready for the rabble. Did pick out all the dark chocolate for myself. Hadn't been doing the housekeeping on my cell phone, so I didn't get the text messages that granddaughter is in the hospital for a little shortness of breath. She's doing OK, but needs to be in for observation for another night. Knowing her dad (he is my son), he's a nervous wreck.

Tried to get some candy for the "Trick or Treaters" we don't have; but it didn't work.
(ate it all on the way home from where ever.)
We don't usually have that many "Trick or Treaters" anymore, and do select the candy;
but don't usually go through that process
(if we did, our weight might change to where we wouldn't like.)
Had to go to the Library today, on the way home I tried to take a picture with
the cell phone camera; bus bounces too much, no pic.; would have been a good
one if I could have caught it.
(please excusemy edits, this new" Forum Format" and me are not getting
along very well!)

Tom; Wish that you didn't/aren't having that! Hope it's not extremely serious!
Get to the E.R. and listen to what they say; and let us know when yo can.
You are already in the Thoughts and Prayers.

......Sorry you don't feel better Tom. I'll add you to the prayer list tonight. The last activity here of each day.
Prayers and wishes Tom. I hope you pull through whatever's got ya.

Tom - Take that headache seriously. While most headaches are relatively harmless, they can also be a harbinger of bad things, especially with us older folks.
CNW 6000 CANADIANPACIFIC2816 Mookie Another new forum member! All Right. Congrats Dan & Misty. And perhaps Dan's son (or daughter for that matter) will follow in daddy's footsteps and become a railroad enthusiast. That would be Cool! RML Actually...I plan on starting him/her off with Thomas and friends...work up from there!

In attempting to keep to the Halloween Holiday Spirit; here are a couple of pictures of
our "Halloween Cat" (aka "Stealth Cat", aka "Trapper") attempting to catching a "mouse",
(and CW)
(he saw something interesting on the monitor, and wanted CW to go back!)
Dan, Best of Luck......they all don't fall in Papa's footsteps.
Dan and Misty: congratulations!!!!!! Best wishes to you both, and to the extended family.
Sent birthday greetings to my nephew this morning. He's 42 today.
Our Friday Fish Fry is now under way. Any kind of fish you might want, plus fries, hushpuppies, cole slaw, baked beans and macaroni & cheese.
Desserts today: apple pie, peach pie, pecan pie, apple cobbler, peach cobbler, and plenty of ice cream. There's also some chocolate cake, for us chocoloholics.
Everyone have a great day, watch out for the little trick or treaters this evening, and enjoy your afternoon.
