First of all, hallelujah. Carole took the envelope with the dentist money out of her purse when she removed the candy. When she said the dentist's money was gone, she was referring to the $100 she had in the wallet for the down payment at the first visit. The office told her it was not necessary to pay in advance and she planned to return it to the metal box, but didn't. She was so shook up she forgot about removing the envelope until Friday afternoon and called to tell me. It was HER money for the dentist that is gone. Sort of a bright spot in all of this!
I have listed the large journal on the For SALE tab if anyone is interested. I have two, the others I am not bothering with. If anyone sews garments, I will be listing the 3 yards of gorgeous black silk shantung, 62" wide. It was purchased over 40 years ago from a tailor in Milwaukee by my aunt and I have had it for many years. We have no tailors, no dressmakers (mine retired), not even alterations around here and I have no intention to construct a garment. What an elegant simple sheath dress it would make. It's not going to Goodwill. I have burned a corner, the flame is solid orange, fine black ash, she claimed it to be silk. I sure hope someone can use it, if not here, maybe Ebay. Priority mail medium box is $15, $30 total for the yardage and shipping. If it can ship for less, I will do so. I will list the LBD Sparrow linen here first on Sunday evening. Not sure about the Meadowlark yet and hesitating on the gingham and dots! Isn't that just like me? I drive myself nuts but at least it keeps me busy.
Saw the doc about the Sjogren's. My assumption that the sinus issue started this was incorrect. She told me a flu shot can trigger autoimmune diseases. WHAT?? Rare but yes, it happens. I had mine 1/11. This started a few days later. Never had an issue before. The dentist would not work on me because of it, that day was so severe I had a hard time talking. Trying again next week. Learning to gesture profanities when I can't verbalize.
That's it folks.
Have a great weekend and lock your doors.

I was too angry to leave a politely worded comment about all this before but reading this this morning I can say I am very relieved the SOB's only got some money (although Carols $100 is still alot) and not all the money. Grrrrr....
Bless your heart - how you weather your storms with humor and, even if you don't think so, with patience...There is a bright side to the great purse robbery in that
all was not lost.. but a pity it happened at all.
What a week you've had! I'm glad the thieves got "only" $100, still a large amount in my book, and not what you had given her. Those stray cats, get Nitzy inside, and let loose with the gunfire and bottle rockets. No, not to shoot them, just make lots of noise and scare the bejebbers out of them. Or - I don't suppose you have a low cost spay-neuter program?? Trap them and get them fixed and let them loose again. You may not see them for a while, and if they do come back, they might have lost interest in trying to be top cat. I don't mind stray cats, as long as they mind their manners.
I never knew flu shots caused these issues eihter, until my sister had a reaction and broke out into hives. Several years later, she still has scars from it. It didn't help that the doctor/nurse did not believe her suspicions on the cause for months.
And the silk - OOOOHHHH ME ME ME!!! I'd be interested in buying it! If not sold already that is...
sigh... never mind, I'll be waiting until you list the silk. like you said in the post.
Oh my gosh Marly: You crack me up with the sign language comment, you Lady have a great sense of humor.
I am so sorry that you have this problem, I hope it will go away soon, I have never even been told about this possibly happening when I get my flu shot every year.
That fabric is beautiful.
I am so happy Carole found the envelope, how lucky can she be, someone is watching over her.
Try using moth balls in the area away from the house this works for us in the warm weather, the cats do not come back even after the balls have disintegrated.
Poor Nitzy, hugs from Blondie the Cat.

Well, glad there is some sunshine peeking down through those clouds. Still makes me shiver though. In another life, I would have swooned over that silk...I used to be one of those “tailors”....I knew more stitches than a normal person should...now I don’t even hem my own jeans. Yeah, lots has changed. Poor, poor, Nitzy.... but wow...can’t believe the green you have. Can you tell I am color-starved LOL?
Hi, Marly. I'm very interested in buying the large journal you mentioned, maybe both if they're still available. Thank you!
So glad all of Carole's money was not taken. 100.00 is bad enough though.
Am sorry about Bud being beat up. I guess Spring is in the air and mating season. Wish there was something that could be done about the nuisance cats.
Sorry about the reaction to the flu shot. Some folks don't believe in getting them.
I got mine and my family did too. No reaction, even with Jill and her arthritis problems.
Take care and am keeping my doors locked for sure !
Hugs,
Charlotte in Va.
