Denise I am so sorry for your loss. It has not been a good August here. And, I think American are going nuts, over things that are long forgotten. But, kept going and using a battle for their hate. I think it is more than this though. Why now? Someone is organizing hate here in the US. And, Gov needs to keep on top of it like they would terrorist, groups. Got to try and make your own little world a good place to live. Hugs to all

Thank you Bob and LF.
I agree, Nancy, that these things are being organized to distract and divide us. We must keep fighting to make this a better world.
I went out to get a few last minute things before the craziness starts here but the traffic was already increasing in preparation for the eclipse weekend. Lots of concerts and activities in the area and many thousands of visitors expected.
Having really bad lower back pain and foot problems (still from the accident two years ago) which is causing the front of my left thigh to feel numb. I had an appointment with the chiro this morning but he called in sick. The last time he did that it was appendicitis (which he got cured without surgery)! I broke down and took acetaminophen and used ice packs last night so I could get at least a little sleep.
Hope SAR is getting those computer problems fixed!

For sure those riots are organized! I read the alternative news forums and they are sure that Soros has a hand in it.
PL, still thinking of you and your family. It's wonderful that your other sisters could be there with her in her last days. I hope your back and foot pain eases soon. Maybe it's stress that is causing it. I bet it's exciting with all the excitement about the eclipse. We probable won't get much of it here in the east.
Sar, I hope your computer problems are over soon. The family gathering was a great time but the reason not so great. It was for a TV show, there were camera crews there. My nephew is a bad drug addict and alcoholic and he is getting help through that show and we were all so happy that he accepted the help that was offered and is now in detox and then on to rehab. His sister, niece and little boy left today to go back home out west. They came to visit today and that was nice. Sad to see them go though.
I hope everyone is well and having a nice evening.

wow, CSue I do he gets help... I agree I think Soros is determined to take us down. I and and the fighting and hatred is everywhere, I do not wear my shirt, or my NRA cap or anything, I barely leave the house, I feel the trouble and tension brewing and it is about to get worse, whether the eclipse triggers some thing..? Praying for you, PL, it will be interesting with your son being the report. that is about all I can type on this LT the white keys and small screen make my eyes hurt. waving to all

Seeing the total eclipse was totally awesome! SAR, GG, and CSue, it looks like you will get a better view in 2024! boston.cbslocal.com/2017/08/21/solar-eclipse-2024-new-england-totality/I still haven't talked to my son about his experience covering the event in Carbondale (should see him soon) but had several friends who attended Moonstock and the Ozzy Osborne concert and they were thrilled about it. It was miserably hot and muggy that day with a heat index over 100 degrees, so glad I stayed home so I could run in and out of the a/c while watching it. It's turned cooler and only supposed to hit 80 today and it's only in the 60's this morning. Saw the chiro yesterday and he said if my back pain hasn't let up by tomorrow we will consider having an x-ray of my back and foot. I haven't had more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night since Aug. 13 because of the pain and it's wearing me down. It's been bad in the past but nothing like this. Time to get chores done as much as I can. Hope it's a good hump day for all of you.

PL, I hope you feel better soon. I thought there would of been videos of the eclipse in your area and the Ozzy concert on facebook or youtube but haven't seen anything.
The eclipse wasn't much here. It was hot and hazy out though. I didn't even notice it darken up any.
Billy's Mom was taken to hospital by ambulance last Sunday night. They put her in palliative care and are keeping her out of pain. They gave her a few days to a week. It's sad but she had fought a long hard battle. Billy has been stopping in to see her after work but she's been sleeping every time he was there.
Sar, enjoy all your company. I hope Dan gets the help he needs and feels much better soon!

So sorry to hear about your mother in law, CSue. for a peaceful passing. That's what they did with my sister and she passed away 7 days after she was put there. Here's a short video of part of the Ozzy concert during the eclipse. I've seen short clips from some of my friends who were there but no full length video of the event. www.bnd.com/news/local/article168413507.htmlI also posted a video my son Randy put together for the local eclipse events on my Facebook page but don't have a direct link to put it here. :( He used Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon as the background music for it. The tv station aired his video at the end of the 10 p.m. news last night and again this morning. for Dan, CSue. Hope they come up with something to help him. After my adjustment, massage and physical therapy yesterday I finally started feeling better and actually got more sleep! The chiro still wants me to get an xray of my lower back Monday, though, because of the issue with the numbness on my leg, etc. for everyone in the path of the hurricane today. Looks like it may be a real doozy and we may even get some of the from it all the way up here.

Thanks for the link to the video PL. A big crowd. Ozzy still has a lot of energy.
Happy Birthday PL. I bet the boys, Hannah and Wyatt will be celebrating with you.
Billy was in to see his Mom again after work yesterday. He said she looks bad. They said it's a matter of hours to a few days.
Sar, I hope you and Dan are having a great day with your company.

Another hot day here today. It went down close to frost last night! I could only get a later variety of tomato plants this year so no red tomatoes yet but there are a lot of tomatoes on the plants. I got cucumbers though. Billy's Mom passed away yesterday afternoon. No wake or funeral, just a grave side service on Thursday. She's no longer in pain so that is good. I mowed the lawn this afternoon. The grass hadn't grown much because of the dry weather but there was and little poplar trees trying to grow on it. I hope everyone is well and doing great.

Attachment DeletedSo sorry to hear that she passed but at least it was quick and hopefully peaceful. I have a lot to catch up on, ..we had a great visit with Dan's son's family Sat, they were not shocked but really could see the fast decline of Dan. then Monday we went to VA dr. Dan's BP has been low but it went sky high Monday cause they want home health care now, and possible wheel chair and hospital bed, not sure but they are coming to assess. I got up, did animal chores , and had to drive to a near by town to get a special handicap tag for him, and he is no longer allowed to drive... he did not take this well at all! when we got home yesturday and one of my kitties was dripping blood from her back end, got her in to vet today and she has pus and blood in her bladder poor thing is in such discomfort... and got the little guy his first shots and I need to take them both back in 2 weeks for boosters and him to be neutered. we are waiting for the Neurologist call and the home health aides to make an appts and then on the 20th we go to the neuro... I need time to cook, clean, and run errands but I feel like I'm about to drop.. and I have to mow and I'm thankful it is raining today, so that will wait and I did not wash clothes because it was raining.... there is always tomorrow, right!!! hope you all have a good evening.... I feel like I am about to drop off to sleep in this chair, and I have to feed Dan yet...

(((CSue))) I'm so sorry for your and Billy's loss. Sending prayers for the family.
Sue, I'm glad the doctor saw the need for home care services. You just can't keep up that pace. Hope the kitty is feeling better. It's terrible that they can't tell you when/where they're hurting.
Plantlady, hope all is well with you. It was nice to see you found some relief and were able to sleep better. I hope that keeps up for you!
Sending prayers for all those in Texas, Louisiana everyone else that will be in the path of the storm. It sure was nice to see how everyone was helping each other. That's the way it should be! Maybe some of the crazies will come to their senses but probably not...
Hope this posted OK. I'm on my phone using talk to type and copy and paste.
