Sorry I was AWOL yesterday.  I wasn&#39;t feeling well, so only got on the computer to IM my son and then checked my email and was right back off.  I am waiting on the Dr. to call back now.  When I saw her 3 weeks ago, she said my blood pressure was high, which it has never been before.  She wanted me to keep an eye on it and thought it could be the source of the headaches I was having.  Anyway, I check it everytime I go to WalMart or the grocery store and it keeps going up.  On Saturday, when Greg and I were out shopping, I checked it and it was 159/95.  That evening, the room started spinning and I got really nauseated.  So much so that Saturday night and yesterday, I could not even hold down water.  I feel much better today but thought I had better let the Dr. know and see what she wanted me to do.   I too, need to go to the store and get a few last minute things for Thanksgiving - hope there are no crowds.  I only need potatoes, cream and corn and then we are all set.  My Broncos got beat badly yesterday against one of the worst teams.  The Raiders were 2-9 before they came to town and the Broncos were favored for a big win - didn&#39;t happen.  The Chiefs won their 1 game against the Broncos too.  The newscaster mentioned your team Deb - he said that it was a good thing the Broncos didn&#39;t play the Lions because they would surely lose then too.  They can only win against the really good teams.<br /><br />James, I have continued to keep Tyler on my prayer list - hope it all works out and you have some peace in your household.<br /><br />Falina, how are you holding up?  I hate it when Greg is gone.  I never sleep well.  Seems that the house makes all kinds of noises only when he is away.  I know I am perfectly safe - I have the alarm system turned on, a gun in the nightstand and the dogs would go bezerk if anyone got within 20 ft. of the house, but I still feel much better when he is here.  The only good part is that I can watch tv in bed at night, which I can&#39;t do when he is home as he always goes to bed much earlier than I.<br /><br />Rose, the problems I am having with the cabinets are frustrating.  I painted them and them the painted started flaking off so Greg said I needed to primer them first.  I stripped the paint, primered and then painted.  It started developing what felt almost like sand on the cabinets.  I tried just doing a light sanding to get the grit off and repainting but that did not work.  We got some boards and ran a test.  We used the primer and then painted over it with a different paint than what I was using on the cabinets and it too developed the sandy grit.  Then we opened a new can of primer and tried it.  Neither the paint I am using nor the other paint produced that texture using it, so it is obviously the primer, so now I have to strip everything off and start again with the new primer.  Glad your project turned out well.<br /><br />Robert, I am another one who hates to fly.  I do it but not because I want to.  I take Xanax before boarding and drink my way thru the flight.  You might ask your dr. about something to make you &quot;happy&quot; during the flight, if you do decide to fly.  Makes the trip much more enjoyable for both Greg and I.  If I am in a drug and alcohol induced stupor, he doesn&#39;t have to contend with my fingernails digging into his hands.  I too love Il Divo.  I first saw them several years ago when they performed on The Young &amp; The Restless and have followed them since.<br /><br />Jackie - I don&#39;t think the prep ends until all the leftovers are gone&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Tonia - we were in Paris a few years back in February.  We spent Valentine&#39;s Day there and it snowed on us.  It gets cold here in Colorado, but there, it seemed to be that bone chilling kind of cold that goes right thru you.  Hope you have a wonderful trip.<br /><br />Chris - a hug congrats to Kathy.  Think I am losing weight too, being sick.  Not my favorite way to do it though&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Shaunna - hope things work out with your daughter for the holidays.  My friend has a son like that and he has already pulled his shenanigan for Thanksgiving, so she is sure he will not be there although she can&#39;t figure out what set him off this time.<br /><br />Mary Lou - I am praying for you too, for peace and comfort.  I know it is a hard time of year for you, just keep the good memories of your father foremost in your mind and think how happy he would have been to have those wonderful great grandchildren, had he gotten to spend time with Paige, Ashleigh, Collin and TJ.  That is what I do about my mom.  She thought that my sons hung the moon and I know she would have been completely gaga over Scotty, had she gotten the chance.<br /><br />Hello to Jenn, Kevin, Sue, Ed, Shari, Joey, Deb, Martha, and any other Crazies I missed.....<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Thanks Cheryl and Jackie glad you like IL Divo&#39;s Amazing Grace, about the flight Im a Retired Military Guy and Police Officer so I guess Ill just have to Man up and suck it up&#33;&#33;LOL&#33;&#33; It&#39;s just the thought of flying, But thanks Cheryl and Jackie and Others for your info for flying&#33;&#33; Ive got to get my Recipe ready for Green Bean casserole, anyone want it??
