Hey, all, I finally found time ... and the guts LOL ... to call Sissy this afternoon! She is just fine, been VERY busy, not had time to be on Forum. I told her we were all concerned, and that I would report she is doing well. Her aunt in AZ was sick, and she went there to help take care of things, and put her in a nursing home. The aunt has Alzheimer's and I believe Sissy said her aunt's daughter has breast cancer. She said the pooches were in good hands with her hubby while she was away, as they all love him dearly!
While Sissy was gone to AZ, someone tried to break into their house in VA, while her hubby was home!!! Evidently the intruder(s) cut the wires to the surveillance cameras. So, when she returned home, she bought new ones and installed them herself! Image that! She was explaining how she went up in the attic and ran wires from the soffit through the attic ... She said two other neighbors had attempted break-ins, too, and one neighbor had 2 windows broken and a tv stolen. Sissy had an extra tv that she gave to the neighbor, since they could not afford a new one. Sissy to the rescue!
Then, her holding tank for their well broke. She just had it replaced last year, and that one was bad, so she had to replace it again, as there was a recall. Evidently the new one was bad, too. Handy Sissy to the rescue, although she's tired of replacing them. Said she had to replace the whole house filter this time, too. She is checking with her insurance company for reimbursement.
Today she was fixing lunch for her hubby, burgers, and shut off the grill after she put cheese on, and came into the house. Came back out and the grill was on fire! The burgers were charred but she laughed it off, "I had more burger."
I asked her how her pond was doing, and she said, "Great!" When I asked if she is still having trouble with the neighbor's dogs, she said she is, but put another camera close to the pond, and she has volume turned up on that at night, so will know if anything comes near her pond, hopefully.
After all this, I laughed and told her again I want to move to VA when I retire, so I can learn things from her, and help her help others! We laughed, and then she told me about telling a friend of a house for sale close by, they wanted $89,000. She knew it was close to foreclosure, so told her friends to offer $60,000. They ended up getting the place with 2.3 acres and all sorts of porches (screened and not) for $69,000! Sissy sure knows her housing prices over there. LOL
Oh, and she said she fired up her computer and checked e-mails, and there were 15 pages of mail she needed to go through. LOL That's going to take a while! I told her I would update everyone, as so many were asking about her.
Sorry I took so long to call her. I was seriously worried about getting bad news, but finally just dialed and when I heard her voice, I was sooo relieved! It was great talking to her again, too! Woohoo!!! We all love you Sissy!!!

Great news!

 

[j.w]

Yep I read what you posted here in the weather thread and so glad she is fine.

 

[addy1]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! You mean someone has a real life besides the forum! How dare they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for calling

I think Sissy is like me. If I am gone for more than a day, I know there are going to be soooo many posts to catch up on, and I'm only following about 10 threads! She must follow everything. But, it was great to talk to her again, and I was so glad I had her phone number from when she called me back year ago January, when I was in a panic. What a great lady she is!

She is one of the most giving people I have ever virtually met.

I laughed when we talked yesterday. She simply amazes me. When I would say, "And I assume you did that project all by yourself, right?" Her response was a quiet, "Well, yes." As if anyone else would need to .... She is an amazing woman, to say the least.
