Good afternoon all!!  The bathroom is 99.99% done...Finally!!  The fixtures are all set & I went down this morning to put a new screen on her bathroom window & put the trim back on...I also hung her mirror back up & tried to hang the towel rods...I put the 1st towel ring up next to the sink no problem...the longer towel rod for bath towels I could not get the one bracket to tighten...turns out that somehow when I took it off to paint I lost the little set screw that tightens it up... so my friend "google" showed me that Home depot sold Delta faucet handle set screws for around $3....since Barb had a Delta faucet I took the set screw out of the handle to see if it would fit the towel bracket & Volia~ it did...so I put it back in the faucet handle & ordered a set of the screws from HD...they will be here Sat...also Wes hung the shower curtain rod a tad bit to high...so Barb ended up ordering an extra long shower curtain liner so it will be long enough...it all looks very nice, but I will be glad when it is finally all DONE!!!


Pat, I think it's about time they turned you over to a wound care specialist...that leg is not getting better and they have dilly-dallied around long enough...you're going to end up with Sepsis if they don't get on the ball soon!


Dave, bummer that yet another mission failed to provide key lime pie ice cream...but isn't it funny how we always manage to find a little something extra we weren't planning to buy?


Nancy, sounds like some nice excursions you have booked...the one & only time I went to Alaska I was lucky enough to sail with our friend Tony & his wife...they took me & my parents on a private tour of Juneau & also took us to Burckhardt gardens in Victoria...my Dad thought it was just the coolest thing ever!


Lee, good luck with Ma Bell....I spent about 45 mins. on the phone the other day with Spectrum...our internet provider...my bill had gone up to $90 for home phone & internet...the nice lady did manage to get it back down to $80...but they had to send me new equipment...so now I have to call & have a tech come out to hook it up for me...she told me it would be a $49 charge & I said that was cheaper than the therapy I would need after trying to do it myself...


Kathie, you really did score some nice discounts on the paint you've bought...I can't believe how expensive paint has gotten....and I'm one who likes to change up my wall color every few years...that's going to have to change now...


Bill, I have a feeling we've seen the last of Gibbs onscreen...I have mixed feelings on the new guy...but the story lines have been half way decent so I will keep watching...for now..


Visit to the eye Dr. went well yesterday...I am now done with the drops...but he told me to use artificial tears for a while to wean the eye off of having drops put in everyday...I don't have to go back again now till Feb. for my annual exam...

Now I'm out of here to find something for dinner...Barb fixed me breakfast this morning...but I missed lunch...so now I'm starving....later all!
