Her blog makes it clear that she is very busy lately: http://northokanagandaily.blogspot.com/
Hopefully she'll find time to check here.
Barb, we miss you!

Man oh man, I miss those email notifications

My mom was in hospital with a kidney stone attack, she's doing great now considering her age and what she went through.

Why does time fly in summer, and drag in winter

The turbine is finally up and running again after 2 mos and 4 days downtime when we blew an inverter.
Investigation still going on as to what the heck happened to cause it.

I ignored my inground Trachy for nearly 2 weeks, will post a pic tomorrow.

thanks again guys!

Welcome Back Barb!!!

Nice to hear that your mom is doing better too!

Bill

Thanks folks, very nice of you.

Good analogy, John!

Raced over to take new photos of the inground palm today when I had some time.
Uploaded onto Flickr photo site only to discover they've changed a whole whack of stuff that I can't understand, and my photos won't load.

I'm old enough to ask "why are changes made (to anything) if they're not better than what was there before?"
Just venting!
GRRRRRR!

Thanks Scotty, sure a scare when Mom went to emergency.

Nice to be back home with the crazy zone pushers.

Barb, sorry to hear about your mom, but glad to know she's feeling better! yikes!

Hope you and everyone here on Palms North are having a great summer! I'm just catching up now on posts.

Thanks Heidi, Jack and Jim...

Sounds like everyone's having a great summer, despite record-breaking heat in some areas.
Plants sure love it.

Hey Barb, it's been a few days now, just wondering how your mom is doing? hope she's feeling a lot better.

Heidi

My dear ole mom's amazing, Heidi!

Doc said the surgery had gone extremely well, and both stones were removed intact with "a tiny basket" in the bladder.
Then two weeks later she received a local to get the "little basket" removed, but had to take her to a different hospital for that.
Round trip was 6 hours.
Would've waited longer for her to have that removed at our local hospital.
Good ole' wait lists.

I'd be happy with half her stamina.
Thanks for asking.
Barb

That's so great to hear Barb! She sounds like a trooper!

...and don't even get me started on waiting lists...

So relieved for you!

I tried something new with the server so let me know if you start getting
the email notifications. Fingers crossed.

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 5:25 pm**

Hey, yippppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

My first email notification in months!

Thanks, Jay!
Barb

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 5:41 pm**

Your welcome. Yay it worked.

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 5:44 pm**

There are a bunch of other folks who haven't had notifications in ages, either.
Think we even did a topic on it?!?

Everyone will be so pleased Jay!

I am.

Barb
Now I feel BAD, I was blaming the Firefox updates for the snafu. Oh well.

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 8:20 pm**

I use Chrome for Windows and the email notifications just started working for me, too. Thanks! --Erik

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 9:14 pm**

Yeah, It was a security setting in the server that I changed because I guess it was against
the "rules" for certain email providers. That's why some were receiving email notifications and
others weren't.

Well, it should be good now.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 6:28 am**

Sweet Jay thanks for fixing this it will be helpful for sure!

Hope you had fun on your trip, and brought back a bag of cash

Bill

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 10:39 am**

Oh yes, Jay, sorry, forgot to ask if you had a good vacation.
Bill's got a better memory

Got some nice pics of Vegas desert (or casinos, ha ha) for a new thread?

Barb

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 12:01 pm**

Yeah thanks everyone. Had a great time. Came back with only a lighter wallet.

No big bags of cash
this time.

I posted a few pics of Vegas here: viewtopic.php?t=2886

Posted: **Sun Aug 15, 2010 11:06 am**

Very nice pics Jay. Did you make it out to any nurseries while down in L.V.?

John

Posted: **Sun Aug 15, 2010 11:08 am**

Oh for heaven's sake, let's start a NEW TOPIC

Maybe call it: Las Vegas Nurseries

Thanks John, Unfortunately we didn't make it to any nurseries. I wanted to rent a Porsche for the day and cruise around
but my wife didn't think that was a good idea.
