Good morning...yes, I miss many of the "regulars", too. It was good to see what everyone was up to each day. And, fun to know it didn't matter "where in the world" they were, we were always thinking of each other and looking forward to a daily dose of HATZ.

Hello All! Wow so great to see you Jane, are you covered in snow as per usual this time of year? And CLV, in NJ? How Cool. How are you adjusting to being back in the states?

I took my boys and Jenny Rae, our "good" dog as Griffin refers to her to see Rae this summer it was such a great time! I started a business so I am not on here as much as I would like to be, it bums me out when I come on and the HATZ thread is three pages back, but am always so comforted when I find it!

You guys are the best, big hug to all.
Michael, Max? Where are you boys? Love you Rae!!!

You are here..... thought you left me all alone and no sight of where you went............................I am happy I found you today.........

Please don't hide like that again......I like games.....but not when I can't find someone.....and feel the upset building up.........

Love ya and want to know you are alright............this tells me you are still around.........................I only say this because I lost a good friend and neighbor at the start of the week....he died at the age of 92 and leaves his wife (age 90 ) still around for a while....and a daughter who will be 60..............He was special to my little one and loved her as if she was their grandaughter..............and still treat her that way............ No funeral services at his wishes and that is ok.....

For me I am here and doing what I need to for the day............trying to stay warm in the early morning.........and waiting for the day to warm up so I can get into the shorts..............YES.....

Have a good day for all those that check in today...........the sun is out here and that is good.........but things are a bit frozen till the sun warms things up............

Sorry, penguin! I've been in a deep-blue funk myself, without even drinking, so I haven't been in SR for the past few days. Today marked one year that I'm in the nursing home...and, I'm still in denial, I guess...still trying to adjust, although there really isn't any alternative. I'm having trouble "accepting" the things I cannot change. But, I spoke to the psychologist today, and I'm feeling better. The day is almost over, and I got through it.

One good thing...my beloved football Giants won! Now, on to the Super Bowl.

Good Friday Morning, HATZ'ers, and everyone else! It's pouring rain here, and I'm trying to keep my mood from matching the gloom of the weather.

Went to a doctor's appointment Wednesday...he again suggested the possibility of skin graft for the leg wound...and wants a consult with a vascular surgeon. Is this thing ever going to heal!?! He wrote on the diagnosis, "Patient becoming depressed because of chronic leg wound." Well, DUH!!! It's almost three months since he operated.

Getting ready for Super Bowl here. At least it's something fun to look forward to.

I'm having steak for lunch...my niece brought it, and the kitchen will cook it for me. Just hope they don't ruin it. Catch up with you later.

Rae . Been missing you! I'm glad you posted... was getting concerned.

Steak sounds nice. If you bring in your own stuff they'll cook to order? That's not a bad deal. So when does the doctor get back to you about the vascular surgeon consult?

Looking for the peace I need as lady that is going to move in next door after renovating her parents house has become a pain.......... I have done loads of work for her for over 9 years.... With helping with her parents while they still lived next door and then doing all the packing for the past year when they went to a care home....

Too bad some people have to be so mean....... she didn't pay me near enough for what I did...... she didn't do any of the packing or cleaning to get the place to smell better nor take care of the plants and clean the weeds from the yard.........I DID ALL THAT.... and even made a list of everything she had in the house................

I am done doing for this one and blocked her from emailing me and so much more............ sends her a message that she did me wrong by calling and telling me off 6 times one day and the next day as well...... sorry I can't put up with this in my life....

I do have other things to do and don't need her telling me what to do with all her "talk of lawyers and such..."

Recovery is more important than putting up with difficult people.....

I am on the road to better myself today and for the future.....

I will watch the Super Bowl with my Husband and daughter.....try to relax and do some other projects.....

Pray for me.......... I am feeling the pains of Stress in my chest and that isn't good...... Need a break big time.........

Hi, HATZ'ers! Hope you're feeling better today, penguin...it's a beautiful day here in Jersey...springlike, and I'm wearing a shirt that says "Let It Snow"...getting a lot of "Boos" from the other residents. But, it has to sometime, right!?!

We'll be watching the game here...maybe about six or so who'll be able to stay up that late. Going to be in the small activities room with the big-screen tv, instead of the big lobby with the small-screen tv. The kitchen is going to provide little hotdogs and soda...I have a huge bag of cheese popcorn. Should be fun! I hope your team wins (as long as it's the Giants).

GO GIANTS!!!
