I realized it was time to start a new thread so copied the posts since yesterday so we wouldn't lose anything. Still half asleep and couldn't think of a title better then the old one so just stuck with it 
Hello. Once a year I walk along the dirt road near my home and pick up the trash that is thrown off the side of the road, so I won't have to look at it and also I take out a mesquite bush that has thorns, that grows on the road also. So I did that and I also read about autoimmune disease. I was able to learn as best I could why my body has the problems it does. About heredity, genetics, free radicals, oxidation, and the break down of the cells with aging.
Cindy do you have in your area the option of grocery delivery to your home, or drive up and pick up option that you could use? There are meals in a bag in the frozen section of the store that taste good. I tried them in the past and thought they were good, I don't buy them now though. That would be good to have when you have company, you could open the bag and warm up a meal in pot.Do you have an autoimmune disease too Anna? Which one do you have? They're sure not any fun, are they? No, we don't have that out here, at least not yet. But as far as the frozen food goes, yes, i do sometimes get some of those for when I'm not up to cooking and the kids are coming over.
Hello everyone. It's been a cold, rainy President's Day here in SC. It was a school holiday for Daniel, but he worked a five hour day shift at Chick Fil-A, then turned around and went back a couple of hours later to fill in for someone tonight. John and I had a lazy day here at the house, went and walked through Lowe's and Kirkland's just to get out for awhile, then picked up a pizza to bring home for our supper. We ate it by the fire and watched a couple of Andy Griffith Show re-runs.
Anna, was today your annual trash pick-up day? Have you been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder also (RA?)? I have learned so much about RA just by being in the FH pain forum over the years. I had no idea how terrible it is until reading Cindy's posts about it - not just what she experiences, but also the articles she's posted. My John has Crohn's, which is why I mentioned the biologics his GI wants him to take. He wants him to begin Humira (which is also the one I had decided might be best after researching the different ones), that is IF we can get insurance approval and coverage. It is outrageously expensive, but the infusion-type biologics are even worse.
Cindy, it's good that you were able to get some R&R yesterday (and hopefully today too), and how sweet of Bruce to do the grocery shopping for you. Glad that you got to spend time with Jenn's family yesterday, even if they didn't get to eat with you. Anna's idea about the freezer meals is a good one, which you may already do anyway, especially when you have company. Do you have any snow on the ground yet?
Anna, that's interesting about being able to use cell phones at certain bank ATMs, in place of cards. I haven't heard about that, although our bank lets us deposit checks by taking a photo and texting it in; don't know if that is common everywhere, or not.
Lulu, it's your birthday eve!!!!! Have you had a nice holiday today, and you still have one more free day to go - you lucky thing!! Hope you're enjoying your time off and getting some things done.
Lets all have a piece of cake to celebrate:
Margie, good that you got your hearing aids replaced. My sister-in-law used to work for a little hearing aid shop and would tell me about it; I had no idea they were so expensive!
In case you all haven't heard, Jeanette had her baby boy on Valentine's Day: Evan Dee, born at 11:48 am. 10 lbs 6 oz, 21.65 inches long. Congratulations to Jeanette and your whole family!!!
Hi Lorrie! Congrats to Jeannette! Yes, all those biologics and really all the RA meds (which are pretty much the same as the ones they use for Crohn's or any autoimmune disease I guess) are super expensive. Oh yeah, there's some snow on the ground, though not much. Bruce spent several hours on the snowmobile yesterday, which is a good thing since it may be the first and last time he'll get to ride it. Because although it snowed a very little bit yesterday, and has been super cold for the last week (way below 0), today it's already up to 50 and everything is melting, and rain is on the way. 
Talk about super crazy weather, huh? The only places with any decent amounts of snow are on the mountains in the ski resorts where they're making snow daily, or at least they were. They obviously won't be able to today though. So after a week of way below 0 weather, it appears that we're going to have a week of weather that's way above normal, generally in the high 40's to 50. Well, except for one day, right in the middle when it's supposed to have a high of 32. You know, just to throw everyone off.
I'd love a piece of Lulu's birthday cake! Are you going to be older then dirt like I am now Lulu? I thought I'd die laughing when Jennifer realized that I was 60 years old now. She couldn't/wouldn't believe it and acted like I might as well be 160 years old!
Hi 
I am done with picking up trash mostly bottles and cans. I do that during the winter so I can safely reach my hand down to get the trash without getting an unwelcome surprise. Last week I went to the north and picked up trash also. I saw a lot of white feathers on the ground, it was in the same area I once before saw many feathers on the ground, nothing but feathers, after that when I was walking someone shot off a powerful gun four times, maybe a shot gun, I heard a whistle sound from the gun after the shots. A whizzing sound, that made me feel nervous. On my way back home I saw half of a dead carcass of a smaller animal.
To answer your question Leigh, I have to closely watch my diet because certain foods like yeast and more can cause my immune system to attack my thyroid, which I already have thyroid damage from that happening before I knew to change my diet, also to watch that my immune system does not go on the attack somewhere else, like the liver. I think it is just old age.
Yesterday Ron went to town and saw a man laying face down on a dirt road. There were two sheriffs there and some people there, and an hour later on his way home people were still gathered there but the body was gone. Don't know what happened, maybe we will find out soon.
I hope the man was alright and not dead! That would be scary! What do you think all the feathers were from? Well, obviously birds, but I mean why?
Well, I'm behind today, as I had a lot of praying to do, but I'm going to go get started posting now. Have a good day everyone!
Well, Cindy, I'm at least AS old as the dirt! lol 61 today! Ron will be 60 next month...man, the years are going by so wicked fast....I got the best birthday present ever this morning. My cousin Megan had her son this morning! His name is Raymond....beautiful big boy! I remember teasing her to have him on the 16th, well, she planned it and she was induced this AM...I got teary eyed, wishing I was there for his birthday, so she posted pictures on Facebook for me....I'm still teary eyed.....
Lorrie, thanks for the cake! lol....
Ron and I are car shopping...we were hoping to go a while with out a car payment, but alas, Matt's engine gave up the ghost over the weekend, so we will be getting me another car so he can drive my old HHR.....maybe, if his bank will work with him to get another car loan and roll what he still owes for the dead one then we'll wait....so that could be put under prayer!
What a wonderful blessing for your birthday Lulu! I'm so happy for you! I was looking at the cards Grace and Elijah made me again yesterday and had to laugh because Gracie tried desperately to draw 60 candles on her cake. She got lost though and actually drew a few over that!
I love getting their hand made cards best of all. So Ron's as old as us too huh? I can't wait till Bruce is. He teases me all the time cause he's a year younger then I am. Just wait though, his turn his coming!
That's too bad about Matt's car. I'll certainly lift it up to the Father for you guys though.
Hey, you never said, or at least I didn't see it...how are you house guests settling in? Are you enjoying the children?
This is my new bakers rack that we assembled yesterday. It will hold my dry beans and sprout and such, as I have little kitchen storage space. The chair in the picture is the one I told you about that Art gave us.Oh, that's a nice bakers rack Anna, and I love the chair too! I'd love to have one just like it as it looks very comfortable! You have a very pretty house!
Hi Cindy, about the white feathers I saw. That seemed out of place here in this area. We don't have birds in this area with large white feathers and the feathers were even in a circle. At first thought I wondered if it was a large cat, coyote or wolf that killed a bird. I have seen smaller brown feathers scattered around, and that would be from an animal that got a bird. Feathers have meaning in the occult world and around here people contact mediums. White feathers are used by Native Americans to communicate with spirit, sky gods and transcending the ethereal realm. Maybe a small group of people stopped by for a ritual. That was the area that I picked up most of the trash at and the trash was all there like overnight.
Yeah, that makes sense. I hate it when people leave their trash outside like that. You'd think that people would automatically know better. I bet Jesus won't stand for littering during the Millennium!
Well, I haven't even had my coffee yet. Woke up real late this morning. So I'm going to go get that and settle down and talk to the Lord and read His Word for now. See you all later.

back to the dysfunctional world....ugh....it's been a wicked nice weekend though...we did get me a new HHR, a 2011 for under $10,000. so our car payment is under $200! she's pretty, all white with a sun roof and all the bells and whistles!
On the up side though, the Lord has been working other wonders in my body, and helping me greatly. He's showing me constantly that He's with me and all is under control.
I understand, I hope all works out well for everyone and things are back to normal soon, saying prayers about the situation.
Then I realized that Timothy was at his new night job -- which is at a restaurant very near that mall. 
Stay warm you all! How is the weather where you are? Nice weather here. So many tornadoes last Tuesday 30 tornadoes in the Gulf states, and today blizzard like conditions in the Midwest and the latest tornadoes hit in the state of Virginia.
Have you heard about the increase of carbon monoxide gas being emitted from the ground all along the west coast due to an increase in underground volcano activity heating up the earth and gasses settling on the surface of the earth. I just wondered if the news there on the west coast is saying anything about it.
