CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[rave]

I stopped using dryer sheets after seeing this experiment with the dryer vent. If you rinse the dryer vent, the water won't run through. It acts like a cup. You have to scrub it with a brush to get the film off. I tried it myself and it was true. According to this report, this is a major cause of fires that can start even after you have finished using the dryer. This does not happen if you use liquid fabric softener during the wash cycle.

According to that study, neither group made out too well imo... non-helpful, 5 times/month; helpful, 1.5 times/month...

Lord! I feel bad for both of those groups!!!!!!!

That's it - I'm so over dryer sheets.

And, I feel bad for both of those groups too. Just sayin'

RAVE!!!
You're still breathing; and Blues, too!!! Excellent good news, just before my bedtime.
Have a good night, all.

Hi Volties!!

Me too Kico. I've got a ton of pages to catch up on. I'm going to have to catch up bit by bit here. I've been away too long, but I still have to read back. So, please excuse if I comment on old subjects out of the blue.

Lately, I've been spending whatever time I can with Blues. It's very doubtful that he'll be back folks. He only has so much that he can give each day. He's been giving that time to me, bless his heart. In return, he has my complete focus as well.

I know that he would like to be here. He really likes you people, but there is only so much that he can do. The man is amazing. He has been through incredible adversity in his life; and yet, he is able to take whatever fresh hell life throws at him with such grace. He doesn't complain or feel sorry for himself. He just ... accepts. Me - I'd be mighty ticked and feeling more than just a little bit picked on. Not my Blues.

RAVEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So good to see you !! We've been thinking about you and Blues. Your both in our thoughts and prayers. We're here for you.(You know that already). If there is anything I can do please let me know

A Provari would certainly be nice, without question. I can say that the Vamo performs quite well, at about a third the price, I know it's not made in the US, but it performs as advertised and has survived a drop off the table with no damage.

I like mine so far. It doesn't deliver quite the flavor that I'm used to ... at any voltage. I can sure fog up a room though!

 

[rave]

Hi Raynes & Catlady!!

Maaan - I've missed you guys. Blues doesn't generally talk at night, so I'll try to pop in here then. I'll try.

Welcome back, Rave! We were all worried when we didn't hear from you in so long. How are you doing? Give Blues our best. We'll certainly miss his presence, but I completely understand how, if he has only so much energy, Voltville might not be the place to spend it. Is he able to get out and see his animals yet? What's going on with him?

I've missed you so much !!! Been worried about you and Blues. Wanted to email ya but didn't want to be a bother. How are you feeling?

I will be glad to give Blues your best as well as everyone else's. Yes, he has been cleared for physical activity, but that doesn't mean that folks don't still bug him to take it easy. He spends a lot of time with the cats. I'm sorry - I'm just not free to say what's goin' on with him. I hope that you all will be understanding about that.

You would never be a bother, Raynes. And I'm doin' great - especially since I've cut waaaay down on my meds. Thank you.

I'm glad that he is getting to spend time with his animals and that he is back in his element,and that you two are getting to spend time together to.

I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better, you've got so much going on right now. Are you getting plenty of rest?

 

[SandySu]

I'm sorry I'm going to have to say good night right when Rave appeared, but those exercises are calling me, and I've been trying not to listen. If only I could figure out how to make them fun!

Meanwhile, to say good night, here's another flower, an iris.

Goodnight SandySu. I'm glad that your arm is getting better.

Beautiful iris photo!! Irises are my favorite flowers. Just gorgeous!

Raynes - Don't you worry 'bout me. I'm tough as nails. And, yeah, I get plenty of rest.

 

[JoAnnW]

Rave! It's so good hearing from you and that you are feeling better each day. Let Blues know that we care and admire him for the great and compassionate person that he is. Hopefully the two of you will be able to spend time together soon.

I've heard that it can take MONTHS (not weeks) to recover from bypass surgery Rave, so just hang in there. One day soon, he'll wake up suddenly feeling like a new man, I just know it! Especially with his can-do attitude!

Much love goes out to both of you.

Goodnight SandySu. I'm glad that your arm is getting better.

Raynes - Don't you worry 'bout me. I'm tough as nails. And, yeah, I get plenty of rest.

Who's worrying? I just asked a simple question. (This coming from the person who always worries when I'm out of town). Your tougher than nails more like your as tough as railroad spikes.

 

[rave]

Good to "see" you again JoAnn, Debra & Cindy!!

Thanks for all of the encouragement. I'll pass it on to Blues as well.

For now, I'm tuckered out! I'll have to continue playing catch up tomorrow.

Love ya Volties!

YIKES, I'm in big trouble again: I just learned how to make SCONES!

Nice thing is, I can make them with white wheat flour and Splenda and sneak in veggies (I made zucchini walnut spice), but all health benefits vanish with the dip in cream cheese glaze.

Oh, well...I guess life's too short to be a size 0.
