Flooded again

Wednesday, April 04, 2012

Luckily, I live up on 2 hills here in Oregon City. Yes, we get colder weather than my daughter does and more snow as well. She's down the hills and 2 towns over in Milwaukie, Oregon. In these pictures you will see the Willamette/Clackamette rivers rising and flooding our parks where I normally walk Leone. they are now lakes for ducks and Geese. We ahve ahd so mucyh rain this year. And it is still raining.

    WOW! Now that is flooding!

And here we sit in Colorado praying for some rain - after a Winter of very, very little snow on our patch of ground.

    SORRY, DEBS, that is just awful. I hope there were no casualties. We were away and I did not see or hear about the flooding in the area.
I am happy that you are in a safe zone above the flood water.
You took a lot of nice photos to let us see ho it is for you. We are under a fire watch. lots of dead leaves just waiting to catch fire. We have had a lot of wind so it is in the very high forest tire alert. It was supposed to rain last night but it never got here. HUGS Pat in Maine, emoticon emoticonstay safe!

    Water is such a powerful force, and it's really hard to understand how quickly water can rise until you see it for yourself! I was flooded into my home two weeks ago, and we've got more rain in the forecast, so I feel your pain!

    I would be hanging out there with my fishing pole if I did not have to work,, nothing dispels funky rainy weather blues than a nice fish fry!! Probably would be easy to catch them too:they are probably tired from swimming with that strong current!!

Toosday!!!

Tuesday, April 03, 2012

I am a blessed one this happy day of my life. You ain't gonna hear me do no complaining today, baby!

Just back from my morning appointment at my general practice Dr. for my six month follow up with labs i had done last week. Well I'm so very ahppy and my Dr. is even more happy because i get to drop another diabetic pill meaning i will soon be off all my diabetes pills.

A1c was 5.8 down from 8.6 Yay!!!!!
they had an order put in the check my Kidney's and Liver because of the IVIG I had had done in march which was quite a load and that has my kidney and liver in tip top shape. I drink lots of water and ice te but I also ahve my mornign cuppa coffee.

Everything was good. she did not order my Cholestero to be checked this time so i have to ahve that done in 3 months. I'm being encouraged to do more exercise and pick up a bit on cardio which I ahve been avoiding because of the MG but now i will do it. I worry i might go into an mG crisis but she told me don't worry.

Weight was 170.2

Sooooooo I was so happy I rewarded myself with a small bag of my beloved black jelly beans. It's Easter week after all!

Another good note I'm fond of is that I found 2 stories I ahve been searching high and low for in the bottom of a box of my growing up pictures high atop my bedroom closet. these stories ahve been published in Reader's Digest and Ladies Home Journal in the 70's. A friend of mine is going to help make these into like e Books where I can be paid for them. Glad I found them.

Got it fixed

Thursday, March 29, 2012

A member of emotional Eaters saved my day and I can spark again! Here is how I fixed it and there are absolutely no pop ups now. If you follow these instructions it should work like a charm. Good luck

Go to your Start Page.
left side near the top is acct./e-mail Perferences. Click on that.
next page has three tabs; third one is Community.
Click.
Then you will see 6 tabs. One on top of the other.
At the bottom of the 6 tabs you will see where it says
Tool bars with quick links
there will be a squire with a check in it. Click the check off.
Now scroll on down the page and you will see "Save" click once and that should do it!
