Well, I've fought my computers all night and just now have it up and going! Get this: when I'd turn my phone on--the internet would connect! when I turned the phone off---the internet would NOT connect! I came really close last night to bundling the whole mess up and pitching it! LOL! I am NOT a fan of things that don't/won't work! LOL! Anyway, while trying to talk to ATT this morning, I figured that out! I switched the connection phone jacks (for about the 100th time!) and this time it worked! WHATEVER! As long as it works! LOL! Ok, I was going to say that I'd been to see Mom and Dad on Thurs. Mom was awake and actually ate pretty well (still in her room, still no sample as of 1:45 yesterday--Thurs). She is so quiet acting and kept wiping her face with her pants! She talked to me though and ate---two bonuses! Dad was in the cafeteria eating when I got there, so I just went to be with Mom. After Dad ate, they brought him back to the room. He looked really good, but he wasn't as sharp as he'd been! First thing he asked me was if I remembered where I'd hidden the cigars and cigarettes! LOL! I went to get him some tobacco, and he put the WHOLE amount in his mouth! I'm sitting there thinking that there's no way he'll be able to chew that, but he did! He then tells me he met the president yesterday (that'd be Wed) and that Dad had given a speach! Why the speaking thing, I don't know! Anyway, he told me about lunch and how much food he'd had, etc. When I left, he told me to be careful, etc. Anyway, they were ok. Dad seemed with it physically, and Mom was awake! Anyway, today (Fri) Pat is going down to check on them. I hope that they get the stool sample soon. Hey, the good news is that she obviously is NOT having the BIG D!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! Ok, I'm off to work around here before picking Makenzie up at noon at Valley View! Good job, Judy! You have done a wonderful thing by having Britteny and her boys with you for 6 months! I can NOT imagine! Go you! Love you all, Jeanie
