Dixie and Don<\/cite>\u00c2\u00a0says:<\/div>\nThank God! Lori is gong to see a good doctor! You are right \u00e2\u20ac\u201cmoney is not the issue at this point. You can give up on the grain grinder and save $400. I made bread by hand when Lori was in jr. high, and as I recall, she always preferred Wonder Bread. She would even slip Grandma some of her own money to buy her some. Scotty was about the only person who really relished my bread-making skills\u00e2\u20ac\u201cand I made really good bread too. Since Grandma was a Mormon, she kept a garbage can full of wheat in the storage room, but never made bread from. She made at least nine loaves a week when we kids were in school, and we too would rush home just as she would be taking it out of the oven. I can still remember the smell and the taste with great fondness. When I was making bread, I had hoped for the same result from Lori and her dad, but it never happened. By the way, I heard experts on hair extensions say that they often cause headaches. I wish this were the reason for our Lori\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pain, but I doubt it. Now, Douglas, you have opened Pandora\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Box because this is only my second attempt at sending a comment. Beware! Love to all, Grandma Dixie<\/p>\n
Thanks much, (we’re still getting a grain grinder someday), we look forward to hearing more and more from you! Now we just need my Mom to comment. Maybe I should go over to her house and walk her through it.<\/p>\n
My how a week changes things. I was feeling pretty good last week and in a good place and now I’m stuck in a funk. It’s mostly because I can’t fix the misses neck and headache and I’m not used to being in a situation where I’m helpless. I knew I should have gone to med school! Anyhow, I’m going to continue to try to get this shit fixed.<\/p>\n
Work is ok, lots going on but yesterday turned out to be not as bad as it could have been as I had things pretty well thought through with solutions in mind before I ever got on the conference call with 3 other guys. Preparation is the key in almost everything you do, trust me.<\/p>\n
It’s Feb 22nd and a week or so before we get paid and we’re flat out of money, too many bills this month. I’ll make it but we’re about $1500 short and that doesn’t include $1200 for the first half of our property taxes. Guess we’ll have to use the “pay all at once option” on our taxes which means the whole $2400 due April 15th. Kick that can down the road, just like our government! It could be worse, our close friend has been begging me to borrow $25oo for his January house payment as he has nowhere else to turn. I wish I could help but can’t. Even if I could, I don’t see how he could pay it back. Times are still tough for a lot of people. We’ll get through it somehow, we always do. My motto, and I told this to my friend, is “they (meaning bill collectors) can’t kill you”. In other words, things could be worse, you could have some major health problem, like freakin non stop headaches, that you can’t control. I do feel sorry for him though as he’s not the type of guy that’s wired to handle stress very well. One good thing about me is that it takes a lot to ruffle my feathers. I’ve been through a lot and am conditioned to not getting too upset or worried, but I still understand.<\/p>\n
The house is a pit as I’ve been too busy to clean and the misses has been incapacitated on the couch. She keeps apologizing as she feels guilty but I keep telling her to knock it off as it’s not her fault. Those of you that really know her though, know how she is. I’ll somehow get it done today.<\/p>\n
It’s 5:10 and I’m off to the gym so time to go. Keep your chin up, if you think you have it rough, imagine having a non stop headache! Take care,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Can you even imagine having a headache 24 hours a day for 3 straight weeks? I can’t. After getting a number of shots in the back of her skull yesterday, the misses still has the constant pain. She’s supposed to … Continue reading
