    Our Econoline van is 20 years old this year and we are starting to talk about getting another vehicle. We'd like a 4 wheel drive pick up due to our roads out here or at least something 4WD with enough ground clearance that we wouldn't be dragging the undercarriage on the crown of the gravel...

    Yep, that is what we were told and went by as far as temperatures were concerned. One night at work one of the aids came up to me and said, I'm sick I have to go home and she showed me the electronic thermometer we had on the wing. Her temp was 99.2. I wasn't having a good night. Seldom did so...

    99.1 is considered low grade. They aren't any more fun than a 102 though, IMHO. @BigBlueHen53 all I know is that they are flying all around outside landing on you, biting you and I'm having to knock them off the storm door screens before I dare open the door. All I know is I don't know how they...

    Just keep telling yourself, Granny. No good deed goes unpunished. Sounds rough but experience tells me it's true 90% of the time. So whenever we do a good deed I tell DH, brace yourself. Well it's October so the annual invasion of the Japanese Beetle/Lady Buts has begun and yes, we have both of...

    Hot wires are worth their cost in entertainment content. Years ago our first cattle dog a blue heeler would tear out the fencing across the front yard and stage escapes. So we put a single strand of hot wire across the front of the property about 6 inches off the ground. I was out taking care...

    Finally. It seemed to take forever. The only down thing today was me getting into it with my pharmacy. Refilled my pain medicine last month on the 15th. I was supposed to see the doctor tomorrow but they called on Friday and asked to reschedule me for November as my doc was taking some time off...

    Hope everyone had a good Sunday. I was out for my first dirt bike ride in 6 months. I was so careful it was painful but had fun none the less. Luckily it was a beautiful day. Almost 80 degrees out. Not too many of those left unfortunately at least not until next May. We did manage to get the...

    Spent the afternoon picking the last of the apples and pears and dodging yellow jackets. Had one bounce off my cheek, It could have really nailed me if it hadn't been as surprised as I was.

    Just had a thought. @BigBlueHen53. Have an E collar you can put on puppo and train him that way to leave the cat alone?

    Sorry no ideas will help for you. Believe me, the red heelers are out for blood. I had to tackle one of our cats, pen him to the floor to keep him from bolting and shield him with my body to keep him from getting offed. Sad thing was that we wound up having to take him to the vet for stitches...

    Morning all, @BigBlueHen53, don't be too dismayed. We have the same trouble with our cattle dogs. Our first blue heeler loved our cats. He had one he would wrestle with. he weighed almost 60 pounds and the cat weighed 15. I'd come out in the living room and find Dingo laying on Jim with Jim's...

    Calling it a day here guys, it's been a long one. Try to rest @BigBlueHen53. Things will work out. Feel better @Granny Hatchet and everyone else who is dealing with achy joints and pain tonight. I've got an ice bag calling my name. Now I need to figure out which joint to put it on first.

    My joints haven't been happy today either. Change in weather I suspect. It's 49 here now. The Nurse Practitioner asked me today how my range of motion was in my repaired shoulder. I flung my arm over my head and managed not to wince....I was determined to get discharged, lol. I would have winced...

    Happened with my mother when her dementia hit hard. I went out hoping to talk to her doc and get her admitted to the hospital. He wasn't in. By the time I got home I found her in the bathroom beating my dad with a 1X2 board. Blood was everywhere and he was covered with blood. I grabbed him, our...

    @BigBlueHen53 I'm so sorry. Minister once said, you can give your children the best of your experience and knowledge but when all is said and done, once they are adults, it's up to them whether they use them or not. If you need a shoulder to lean on you know how to reach me.

    I laid in bed last night for about an hour and a half icing my shoulder down. Couldn't hold my eyes open any longer reading so turned off my tablet and settled in....and here came kitty June Bug. Purring her brains out, rubbing against my head. I said, oh no you don't and pushed her away. She...

    I'm here! I had an appointment with my ortho surgeon this morning followed by PT. Didn't have to do the PT. Doctor released me! Can you say happy dance time?:celebrateHe told me I was doing great, just remember I was't completely healed yet so use common sense....yeah, I don't think he has been...

    Hope Cooper gets to feeling better. Poor baby. Stress is a tricky thing even for dogs, I guess.

    @Cynthia12 congratulations on the new baby in the family. Babies are God's opinion that the world should go on! DH and I got out for a walk this afternoon. 68 degrees, just a beautiful day after getting some well needed rain last night. Just enough to settle the dust. @BigBlueHen53, June is a...
