"Diane Fblooms" <fbl...@webtv.net> wrote in message news:19264-422...@storefull-3317.bay.webtv.net...Hi everyone, I just jumped in a bit ago but didn't introduce myself at
the time. I posted an intro in the LDN thread but am adding a bit here
so I can introduce myself in a separate post to get to know all a bit
better.
I have Lupus, Lyme with the co-infection Babes (for short), allergy
problems, and GP (Gastroparesis). Aside from all that and the
digestion/fatigue problems it brings, I have many interests. I am now
doing acrylic painting and just started going to art ledge and Mac PC
meetings.
My last name isn't Fblooms, that is the name of my site page. I have a
profile page on my site that has a bit of an intro. I got the name
Fblooms when I picked my e-mail address. Fblooms stands for flower
blooms. I picked this because I love flowers. Since than I have been
told that Fblooms could stand for faith blooms which I thing is very
fitting to my site. It is about much more but that was the purpose for
my starting the site. My most visited pages are the daily verse page
and my freebie pages. I have the link to my site at the bottom here.
It isn't my original site it is a new site where I'm moving everything
to little by little. The original isn't PC compatible. If you do a
Google search for Fblooms you can see that site as well. Since I
recently found out I do have Lupus when I was told otherwise my site
doesn't mention Lupus much at this time. I am ever updating though and
adding to the site.
I would love to hear of all your interests.

I live in an old house and we are constantly doing something to it. And just
when we think we are on track something happens we're weren't planning on
tackling. It's a never ending situation. I did just get my new oven last
weekend and now I'm actually enjoying the cooking, again.
I love to paint but never have time for it. Maybe someday I'll go back to it
but right now the only thing getting painted are the walls in this house.
Right now we are talking about putting a tin ceiling up in the kitchen and
what color to paint it. Color is always an interesting discussion as my
hubby is so color blind but he sees something just not what we see. LOL
I volunteer through my local cooperative extension offices in horticulture.
My specialty is Victorian gardens and other historical gardens. I was the
head gardener for a private estate for years and rebuilt the gardens there.
I also love to take pictures of flowers. I just got a new camera and when I
figure out how to use it I'll be getting pics out to everyone, I promise!!!
My girls are grown and both remarried this past year adding three
step-grandchildren giving us a total of 5 grandchildren My husband is still
here at my side although he's battled cancer, hopefully won and will remain
at my side for many many years to come.

Oh, I hope the pictures come out and you get to see them, too!
I like to read, mostly biographies and autobiographies and history. Am
reading Corrie Ten Boom's "In My Father's House" (the years before the
Hiding Place).
I'm no hand at gardening. I'm death to plants. I do enjoy looking at
gardens and what grows in the wild.
I'm a member of a Freecycle list, too, and like you, because I don't
drive I can't get to a lot of the things. It's kind of fun to see the
kinds of things that get offered.

Glad to hear your husband's free of cancer now, Bev.
You forgot the fence, the county fair and how's schooling going?
We haven't heard much from you about that.
Busy lady, I did not know you did gardens. My grandfather did.
Lovely and multi-talented too !

them done and then get a dog. Sometimes I think my hubby senses my wanting a
dog when the fence is completed so other things keep getting put first. LOL
Really we had to do some work to the front porch and will go back to that
soon - depending on weather. Old houses just keep getting older and require
more work. But the porch is obvious and it has to be done! (Or we'll have
the Historic Society all over us!)
I don't want to think about the County Fair at the moment but I have
paperwork in front of me that I need to complete and send into the fair
office. The fair is in the fall but the work is year round.
School is a big question. I took a mid-term test and then we had Spring
Break. But when school started up again my professor had a family emergency
and so he canceled classes last week. I don't think I did well on the
mid-term test. :-( I really have had problems with his tests. I can learn
the grammar rules but applying them is a different ballpark. It's as if they
are two different things in my brain and they don't intersect! Give me a
simple sentence and I can pick out all the words and tell you what they are,
I can diagram the sentence, but if he gives a complicated sentence I can't
find the direct object to save my soul! This next half of the classes should
be just on writing so I figure I'll do fairly well writing. The bad thing is
I know I can write - what I need is more of the grammar and punctuation
rules.
I don't do the gardens anymore except for lecturing on them. I loved what I
did but it fried my brains being outside like that. I know now it was
because of the lupus. I don't have a whole lot of trouble with the sun. I
stay covered and in the shade but it does take it's toll on me. I get very
tired from it. I'm still not sure if it is the heat or the sun that causes
my problems - I think it's the heat more than the sun but around here they
go hand in hand.
My own gardens need lots of work as I haven't been very good about keeping
them up these last few years - mainly because I was working. This year I
won't have that excuse so I'll have to go out and work in them. They need
attention badly!!!
I have grape hyacinths, daffodils, and dandelions (LOL how can you not love
those bright golden soft blooms?) blooming, and the Lenten roses are still
producing flowers. So spring is almost here. Right now we have temps
yo-yoing up and down. One day it is 70 F (20C) degrees and the next day it
doesn't climb above freezing. We've had thunderstorms and snow falling -
that's really weird! But this corner of Virginia is known for it's insane
weather.

meaning they see only shades of gray. About 1 in 20 people suffer some sort
of color blindness and only about 1 in 100 are females. It's mostly a guy
thing. (G'daughter doing her science fair project this year on color
blindness.)
My husband stopped the car one winter and asked what they were growing in
the field. It was dusk and he thought the field was totally green - I
promise you it was pure dead faded wheat stalks! He has a terrible time with
certain games that require color and is known for picking up the wrong piece
on the game board. Maybe that is why we never play many board games in this
house? He often has to use a volt meter when working with cables or wiring
because he can't tell the wire colors. He can match colors perfectly but he
can't tell you what colors they are. He hates certain greens yet he can't
pass the color test for green - he apparently has NO green color receptors-
but other greens he likes. (Go figure?) I think he learned to compensate for
his color blindness without being aware of what he did. Whatever it is that
he sees it is not what we see.
As for the tin ceiling - well, a real tin or copper ceiling is way too
expensive for our pockets. We even looked at making the presses for the
metal and buying sheet metal. Hubby is real handy at making stuff. (He was
originally in a trade school to become a machinist - that was before the
draft and stint in Vietnam.) So we started looking at alternatives. Well, we
found something that was not expensive and hopefully easy to install. I
have to paint it first and then probably touch it up once it is installed.
It comes in 1 foot square (30cm?) blocks. I'm going to paint it so it looks
like copper that has begun to turn turquoise. I'm using the leftover green
paints from the bathroom and will buy another small can of turquoise blue
paint along with lots of spray cans of metallic copper and metallic hammered
copper spray paint. When I'm done it should look like the real thing and
very old.
Shelagh and I seem to always trade house stories. We are at opposite ends of
the continent yet our house stories are so similar. LOL She's got the better
view!
We've not suppose to post attachments out here so I won't post my photos
here. If you email me I will send you my photos. If I can ever manage to get
my new camera doing what I want it to do..... maybe I'll have photos to
share.

Yes. The issue was that yours was in html, not the fact that you had a

To designate it as a sig it needs to follow "-- " Dash dash space that is
on a line by itself. This allows compliant news clients to automatically
strip the sig in a reply. Note, this also means that if your software
inserts the sig before the text you are replying to that will also be
stripped in the reply.
Usenet netiquette state that a sig should be no more than four lines. In
this group the only complaints you are apt to see are for posting binary

I said I would get back to you too, but I never did. Here I am now, to tell
you a bit about myself. I was a dog breeder for years. I travelled to dog
shows and was involved in both conformation and obedience trials. I trained
and showed all of my dogs myself. Unfortunately, health problems forced me
to retire. I still had three dogs at that time, but since then two of my
younger girls died of cancer. I only have one Golden Retriever left. She
turned 16 yesterday. Dogs were my passion and I am still floundering in an
effort to fill the gap. I can't seem to find a hobby that holds my interest.
Perhaps this thread will give me some ideas. I do like to walk. I live in
the country, so there is lots of wildlife to see when I am out. It has been
so cold that I have been pretty much housebound. I am waiting anxiously for
spring. It comes late here, but it will come.

I have a PC as well but it is down for repairs, has no CD drive right
now. I am actually going to try o fix it with some help on-line. I
don't know how to come in here on he PC, I'd like to have that info (web
address) incase I'd like to do that at some point.
My web address is this: http://www.geocities.com/fbooms/menugeo.html
It is a new site of a few months, I have had my site for over 3 years
but this one is a copy of some of my pages. This new site is compatible

Diane Fblooms
getting to know people and my memory is bad. I am going to print off
info about other here too and keep them in a notebook to read now and
than.
I hope this thread helps you, my heart did a little leap when you said
that, I love to inspire others and going out to the art ledge and Mac
club I think will inspire me. I never had a passion of any kind like
your breeding of dog, I think I would of loved that but I started
showing signs I was not well around age 7 or 8. It is just a guess but
that is when I was told I was allergic to the sun, or course it probably
was when my Lupus started. I was surfing last night, I looked up
Gastroparesis medications because the two I'm trying right now are not
kicked in to work yet or I will need to try something else. Well one
site said what the causes of GP could be and it listed Lupus. It is the
first time I see that. I had the symptoms of GP that young as well.
What I wanted to tell you is I never had the chance to find my passion
but it is now of all times now that I don't have to work that I'm
exploring what I might enjoy. Better late than never, I'll be 50 in Aug.
There are many kinds of art ledges you might be able to join. Near me,
one does only modern art, the one I go to does more paining and drawing.
Another one does just crafts; if I had the energy I'd like to add that
one on too.
I am a member of a gem and mineral club but that isn't working out with
my bad memory since I am not really learning names of rocks and I can't
drive much at all so I can't get to many of the outings. I just don't
feel it fits me much. The art ledge seems a better fit. The Mac club
will be great for me as well I think. These I just started so I feel
I'm starting anew again.
I really had a hard time finding these clubs since our town has only a
few and not all have websites or advertise well. The gem club is almost
next to my house and I didn't know it for years. I took a few art
classes, teacher couldn't explain himself out of a paperbag though, I
didn't get much out of that, but my teacher is now the president of the
art ledge and that's how I found out about it. I got interested in the
Mac and went to the Apple website, I had been looking around the site
for a few months when I saw they had information on local clubs that
could be found by entering ones zip code. That's how I found that club.
If you go to your favorite search and type in your town and the word
club or similar word(s) you will find clubs and such in your area.
There just isn't much in my area I'm interested in since I don't collect
fish, go fishing, have a need for a mother's club, or what to learn how
to do public speaking. I'm not well enough to join a town club that
helps the town with fund raisring or clean up outings and such either.
The senior center have has free classes for seniors, painting classes
and computer classes are a few of them. They have some bus trips that
aren't too expensive and the one here offers free movies once a week.

Hi BJ,
We're just plugging along. Linda is working on getting her credential while
teaching algebra. She doesn't have much time (or energy) for other
activities. I get out to Greek folkdance once a week. Linda joins me about
once a month.
Linda's health is staying more or less static. We would both like to see
some improvement but tend not to complain when its not getting worse. The
bothersome symptoms now are leg cramps and feet that don't like to carry
any weight.
No, I don't post much, but i do keep up with the group daily. Glad to see
you posting again. I'll try and send some of our warm weather up your
direction. Please, don't send your cold this way.

That is what Outlook (Express) does. I haven't seen enough post from webtv
users that tried to put in a delimiter and sig to know. Outlook users can
get quotefix to correct this although it doesn't by default. It will fix
the horrible choppy line wrapping in replies that long threads can make a
post almost unreadable.

Alright, you got the sig set up.
I don't think that forum is right unless it accesses usenet (NNTP) servers.
Normally you will set up a news client to read this group. There are many,
Outlook Express (OE) is the most commonly used and one of the poorest in

love wildlife (as well you are a dog lover) have you ever considered
photography as a hobby? Once you have the camera, digital preferably cause
then you can do so much with the pics and a computer, it is not an expensive
hobby; just your time and the developing, which you can also learn; there
are courses offered at most colleges for example; like night school courses
and/or weekends... just a thought for you, fwiw!

Diane, I think what he meant is
dash dash then a 'line space and then the words to your sig in the next line
space.... so it would look like this:

"Visit my site about scriptures, medical alert cards/tags and
freebies http://www.geocities.com/fblooms/menugeo.html"
Hope this helps, and btw,
my sig is below as it is inserted by OE on demand.

I know it doesn't show up in yours but it might hide it after it is
posted.

on your end after I fix it, I will do that after this post.
I like that idea of photograph, I was thinking of that for her too. I
want to get into it myself.
I bookmarked your site, I don't have anything on Lupus on my site so I'm
looking for some site to add, I stay away from any site that has sales
on it unless I have a really good reason to use it. So if anyone has
some sites they think I might want to add to my site let me know.

No, do it just the way you have in the last few posts. It's working fine
now.

It sounds like you both manage to keep busy. I know you would like better
health for Linda, but I guess we do have to settle sometimes. Gee, I would
have piped up sooner, had I know you were out there reading daily.
Please do send me some warm weather. It is cold with blowing snow today. No
change any time soon. I promise not to send it your way. I could never do
that to old friends.news:1r7zbife...@tandelshome.attbi.invalid...

to reread. I'm starting a file for this group and this will go in my
file. Thanks for both.

wondering if I got a Mac if it would be any different than the constant
maintenance and problems solving I've had to do to this old Windows PC.
My health limits my ability to deal with constant problem solving on an
ongoing basis. So I'm kind of lost as to what is the best thing for me
to do right now. I just started to go to Mac club meetings so I can
feel it out if it is right for me.

I left town shortly after I posted my response to this thread.
I got "In My Father's House" by Corrie ten Boom out of the library. I
read a lot of books that way and also buy online, mostly at Alibris. I
did buy some books at the prayer advance I was at in Virginia (I live in
New Jersey). They were "My Utmost For His Highest", "Great Nights In The
Bible" by Clarence E. Macartney, "The Holy War" by John Bunyan (author
of "The Pilgrim's Progress"), and "The Christian's Secret of a Happy
Life" by Hannah Whitall Smith.
WebTV is a whole different animal. I use mine to post in WebTV only
groups where I don't have to think about "turning off" my signature.
Here's the links I have in my WebTV signature (with images you click
on): Memory Stirring Music: http://www.nellybly.com/ For God So Loves:

into that, I'm very impressed. I love the page you posted below the
song page, did you write that yourself, it is very good. The wording is
done better than I've seen with simular messages.
I was told I could use my sig here, maybe you might do so too, I was
just told that it had to be put on a special way.
Diane Fblooms
On your list of books I saw one I have here that I never finished, the
Pilgram's Progress, sure good but not easy reading.
Diane Fblooms
probably by getting a used one like you did. I'm thinking at one of the
meetings I'll ask the best way I might locate one. I only went to one
Mac meeting so far, the people seem pretty nice, they sure seem in love
with their Mac's. The have raffles at each meeting too for $75,00
prizes going down to things like Mac tote bags, T-shirts and caps.
They are taking a field trip to view the stars at their next meeting and
I think I have a ride to that. The club info for each location is on
the Apple website.
I like the way you remind yourself to do things. I use to burn my food
and pots alot until they put new stoves in these apartments that have
nice timers on them. I'll probably wear out the timer way before the
stove goes the way I use it for everything.
This might seem strange but being as fatigued as I am I have learned
sometimes to make a game of thngs. I set the timer for 30 minutes, 15
if I'm really figured, and than I see how much cleaning I can get done
in that time. That way it doesn't seem so overwhelming to me. There is
a website that is called Flylady that teaches tips like this, thats
where I got the idea. I wasn't able to really stick to the Flylady way
much because they'd send an e-mail each day with things to do on it but
that one thing has helped me. There is a Fibro Flylady too which would
be better for us. When I was trying to do it I only knew about the
Flylady. I never tried the Fibro one but I have the link on my health
page.
