  1. There was a wedding there recently. I think there is a gazebo behind the fountain and I saw the wedding happening back there.
  2. It made me cry, too, as I thought of the ones I've lost. Now is the time to love on her especially long and hard so she will be relieved of some of the pain she is going through. I'm sorry, Laurie.
  3. Bless his heart! I always make a chocolate trifle for my nephew!
  4. Karen, you and your son are added to my prayers!
  5. My mom is 92. In March she tried to get out of bed in the morning and her right leg gave away. I called 911 since she couldn't get up even with my help. EMTs took her to Paulding ER and they took her straight to the back. The doc took one look and said "blood clot" so he started calling around for a vascular surgeon on duty. They rushed her to Kennestone and had her in the OR in no time. A few hours waiting for anything would have cost her the leg. She was treated so well by Paulding ER people that I wanted to hug them. They, as well as the surgeon, helped save her leg.
  6. Long ago I let a sinus infection linger too long. My doc asked me if I realized how close my brain was to the sinuses. The tiniest break in the sinus and it will go to the brain...
  7. Sometimes they do. My friend has one but has no way to transport it in her small car. When she goes where there is no scooter, we push her in a transport chair or wheelchair.
  8. Please don't judge these people because you don't walk in their shoes. My mom is 92 and gets around pretty well under her own steam (until the steam runs out!), but my best friend is 58 and confined to a wheelchair. She had breast cancer and the chemo cured her but also caused kidney damage and congestive heart failure. She was in a wreck at 15 and has crushed vertebrae and severe nerve pain most of the time. She exercises in a pool several times a week but has gained a lot of weight from fluid and lack of exercise. To say that she is too young or too heavy to use the motorized carts is j
  9. I'd love one! My email is teachermentor1@yahoo.com Thank you!!!
  10. I lost a good one. My mother is 92 and loves the Gaithers. She watched them for 2 hours every day on INSP. Now I can't find it! She can't follow a plot and won't watch regular shows unless I sit down and watch, too. I can't do that all day. I'm really disappointed in Comcast for this.
  11. You're so right! I've got one for you, Cableman. The sound went out on my DVR yesterday. They were to send someone out today to check the sound thingy in my DVR and I was soooo hoping I wan't going to need a new DVR and lose my recordings. WELL, I woke up about 4 am this morning and decided to check the weather channel. Sound was off, but I didn't need it, when all of a sudden the Emergency Alert System broke in and almost blasted me out of the room! When it was over, the sound was back! Go figure! I cancelled the appt and I'm hoping it stays on. By the way, why do the pictures
  12. When he is good, He's very, very good! And when he is baaaad, He is *********!
  13. This is actually one with the red cross logo made by eton. Solar powered or cranks, flashlight, charges cell phone, am, fm amd wb. Got it because it doesn't need batteries which I can never find in an emergency!
  14. I have a radio that has weather bands on it. It has 7 "stations." Is there a setting particular to paulding weather?
  15. I spent some quality phone time with Comcast this morning because I have no audio. He refreshed mine and that's when the new line-up appeared. They're coming out between 12 and 2 tomorrow to see if my sound card is dead. I hope so 'cause I have stuff saved to watch! Don't want to lose my whole DVR.
  16. Welcome and don't take anyone too seriously (unless you are looking for recommendations)! This is the BEST place to express a need or a "Thank you."
  17. You're absolutely right, but the post asked what we would do and I answered in that vein. I agree.
