Oh, my!! Mr. Harmony. . . Ouch! What did he do, Harmony? ((HUGS))

Yes, I've heard that rule as an 80-20 rule; I think it can be applied more broadly. As an example in another area: maybe about 20% of high schools in the country produce roughly 80% of the college graduates in the country. (I once read numbers very similar on this topic many years ago, but I haven't verified their current accuracy.)

It is nice to hear Kathryn's cheerfulness returning. I hope you continue to feel better.

Hoping Mr. Dee is resting and healing too.

Thank you for your kind thoughts about Lily. I know she is just a cat, but we are immensely relieved that her left eye is back to normal. She had her surgery this afternoon, and the vet ophthalmologist called and said everything went well. they're going to keep her overnight to keep an eye on her - HA! I wrote that without even thinking about the "eye" issue - and make sure she is doing OK. I''ll pick her up tomorrow a.m.

We can't believe we've spent the amount of $$ on this cat that we have. :shock: She is dd17's cat, and that fact figured hugely in the whole process.

I was so tired this evening, I didn't even want to go to book club. But I did go and I'm glad I did. It is often that way.

Dh is packing. I think the girls are done studying.

I'm going to head to bed. Tomorrow is another full day.

We managed ;) to hit 108 today. Dgs9 had a ballgame at 6:30. The boys are with their dad. Dd2 didn't want to get the girls out in the extreme heat, so I went out and watched them until their daddy came home. Then I went and watched the 2nd half of the game with her.

Won't be going to bed anytime soon. Dd2 called and her and her dh are taking dgd2 to the ER. She has started having red spots pop up all over her body in the last hour or so. Dgd16 is home with dgd3. I know I won't be able to sleep, so I might as well stay up. I decided to unplug the phone so it won't wake up dh. After I did that I realized that I could have just turned the ringer off. :?

Dh is going to the dr. tomorrow afternoon. He has had a sore throat for almost a week. Today it felt like there was something stuck. Awhile ago he realized it isn't hurting. I am hoping he will go anyway. He never fully quit smoking. After 7 weeks of Chantix, while on his trip, he quit taking it. That stuff didn't faze him at all. He wasn't depressed, he didn't have good or bad dreams and the urge to smoke never let up. I think the only thing left to try is for him to be hypnotized. It worked on my uncle.

Dd2 just called. They took them right back after they arrived at the ER. She said the waiting room was full. She assumed it was because they didn't want to expose anyone to anything. They said it is hand/foot/mouth disease that little kids get. There is nothing that can be done except for the Tylenol/Motrin rotation and no daycare for a week or so. She had ran a 103 temp Saturday night. They said that a high random temp always precedes the breakout.

((Lilac's dgd)) So glad they just headed straight for the hospital and glad you got word before it was terribly late. Bless her little heart.

((Elizabeth)) ouch, ouch! You and dd both now deserving some quick healing! Hope dd is having a great time.

((Mr. Harmony)) ouch, ouch! We are having a spate of injury around the village, for sure - Cowinkie's got a point!

helia, all this news for Lily is so good. Glad the surgery could be this ordinary.

Yay for plumbing that's doing what it's supposed to, Lynlee!

Kathryn, I'm so happy you may end up having 2 friends visit while you are in the hospital. I don't like thinking you are bored and without friendly faces, no matter how nice the staff may be. Why lemonade?

Sadie, I hope that your brother is really benefited tomorrow, and that your day goes well. Could one of the boys accompany you?

Hi to citylady!

Hello out there to lucylee.


Oh, my goodness, I have powers! There she is ....

So far she says "test". How does one answer "test"? I believe I will say, "No, thank you. They are not my favorite. You go ahead."

Sometimes you just don't know how to answer an odd question.

At our mini-reunion the other evening, they served "wings". There were several coatings that were extremely hot tasting, such as teriyaki and spicy, etc., and they also served one that was not hot, which some had noticed on the menu was called, "virgin". From across the crowded table, one lady thought she must have gotten another's order. She called out (barely being heard), "Margaret, virgin?", to which Margaret quickly shouted back, "No, not for a long time!"
