Good Morning Carolb, Red and all who follow,
Yep, Sandy sounds like it's going to be and they ae calling it kind of "The Perfect Storm". This mornng they are saying it is going to be the worst storm of it's kind to ever hit the U.S. Winds, rain, maybe a foot of snow etc. and it's heading inland too like Carl said. The cold front that came through here last night is heading that away and right into it. Even we, way over here in MI are keeping an eye on it. Looks like snow showers by Tuesday here and rain/snow for Wed and Thursday. Too early to tell. So those of you in the Northeast and in the path of Sandy, please take the necessary precautions, make sure you have sufficient supplies, batteries and what not to ride out this monster. Soos, it's hard to tell whether or not you should stay put and deal with this or hit the road and maybe get a bit farther south before it hits the Northeast. Looks like FL and along the coast will not get hit quite as hard. Hopefully you won't get snowed in up there in northern NY. But then it would give you time to spoil Orion somemore
Red, thanks for sharing that very personal information. I've never heard of that either. I do get my pap done every three years as that's what I have been told. If it's negative, you don't need another for three years. Maybe things are changing. Haven't had my physical for this year yet. That's on my agenda for next week, setting up the appt. And of course the annual "squish" time as well
Cloudy and chilly here this morning. Supposed to get partly cloudy later on. So plan this as an inside day today. Got to clean house and then going to do some organizing in some storage drawers in my basement to store all the stuff I have been accumulating for making more signs over the winter. Got some good deals on leave and flower stems and other fall decorations, so will put them away for now and start doing one for Christmas for myself and then start making some winter signs. Don't know as yet if I am going to be here for Christmas this year. Am thinking of heading back up to Michigamme for about a month in December/early January. After that I will be doing my "spring cleaning" and what not in the house here. It's either that or go up in March into April, but depending on weather, that's also the time when there are outside things to start doing here as spring approaches. So it's a toss up. Yeah, I know, i can hear some of you saying "Is she nuts. She wants to go north where it's cold and snowy!"
Brrrrr. Plus might be kind of fun to spend the holidays "walking in a winter wonderland", not that we don't have one here.
Well, chattering along here is not getting the dishes washed and the house cleaned and..... But truth be told, I would rather spend the time with all you lovely ladies than tackle that stuff. But it has to be done. Life always manages to get in the way of fun. But once it's done, on to more "fun" stuff. Have a nice day everybody, even those of you in the path of Sandy as it hasn't really affected anybody yet, so enjoy today for all it's worth.
With that, a good morning to all! 
or to fix the frig 
Will spend the weekend winterizing my HarBor, since I won't be going anywhere til FL GTG. Hmmm, that might change if we get a nice weekend yet this Nov/Dec 
However, if the info can help any other woman, then I should share the info. If you are uncomfortable with medical issues stop reading now. Go to the next post. Might be TMI. 
During the routine exam Dr. found a spot and made an appt for the biopsy. I don't take a mirror and inspect myself. And when I did look in the mirror, I couldn't even find the spot the Dr was talking about. So getting your annual exam is very important, specially as we age 
By sharing this very personal experience, I hope to encourage everyone to make sure they get their annual exam. Not just a pap, but a good looking at and exam.
and The William too!
Glad we are where we are this year....cause GA in for some rain & wind....
