They put her through several procedures in the Nashville Hospital & wasted a lot of time & her health before going ahead & doing what her Clarksville doctor sent her to Nashville via ambulance for in the first place. It sounds like a pretty serious situation. She has been in surgery 3 1/2 hours so far. Pretty worried. Assuming she makes it through surgery okay, she will be in the hospital 7-10 days so will be in through the holidays but of course that is the least of our concerns.

My daughter quit her Gen Manager job with Ruby Tuesday's after 30 years with them. Just could not take it any more in today's world. She will be working training CBD shops on how to properly/legally dispose of expired products by new EPA rules.

I have been crafting, painting & prepping for Christmas & just chillin' a good bit. Not at all in the mood for holidays but ready or not, here they come. Hope everyone here is doing well. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & happy What-ever-holidays, you celebrate.
Wow!!Just wow!! Boy I sure hope and pray EVERYTHING works out well for you and your family!! Especially your sister!! My prayers for comfort AND healing and good health and strength for ALL your family! And yea as you said, with everything going on, it for sure is tough to really enjoy the holidays. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!! God's blessings girl!!

Merry Christmas to you. Didn’t want to pay that much but it was time so we bought a Blazer off the showroom floor. Love it so far. Love all the electronics. The ride is impressive.

Thanks everyone for the prayers & well wishes. My sister gave us a pretty good scare But made it through the surgery. She is still in the hospital in a lot of pain & having rapid heart rate intermittently. That is something that runs in the family so not sure if related to the surgery or not. Hoping it stabilizes & she can come home soon.

My daughter came home for Christmas for a couple of days & is now on h er way back home. My son did not come home this year. We had a nice meal at my house on Christmas Eve & at my mother-in-law's house yesterday. Kind of glad it is all behind us now. Dread putting away the few decorations I got out.

On a different note, I do not recommend anyone ordering a car cover from Cover King. I got one 2 years ago. An outdoor one good for all weather including storms & medium sized hail. It was guaranteed for 5 years. After 1 1/2 years it fell apart. They said they would replace it. It took months &n well, that's okay given COVID crap. But it was the wrong type cover & they had put the pocket for the antenna on the middle of the windshield. I let them know & again they said they would replace it. Fine. They verified my make, model & year car. It arrived & It was the right type cover, antenna in the right place but this time it is for the wrong model, Seems to be for a 6th gen. Absolutely will not fit on my car. I am so over it. I am going to let them know & hope they will try again to make it right but given how expensive these covers are, it is totally not worth the hassle. ANYWAY.........

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas & have a happy new year.

Dang Ruby, like one of my buds told me the other day, if it isn't one thing, it's another. That cover issues is just ridiculous no doubt. Hope they get it right THIS time, wow. On another note, I'm glad your sister made it through the surgery good and hope she gets well enough to come home where she belongs, and can relax more and enjoy what you folks have, each other. Also glad you got to have some "family time" and enjoy some Christmas dinner. Good luck with everything, and all my prayers for your family and your sister's health and well being!! Cheers...

Ruby glad to hear your sister is doing good. Looks like all the prayers that were sent worked. Well I'll be honest I didn't care if I had X-mas any place or if there was one. But to eat my words. Yesterday I spent X-mas with family and friends.

So x-mas day was the best day I have had in the last 6 months with family and friends and will never forget this [DAY].

Late Christmas and early New Year to ya'l.

My sister got to come home last evening. I went to see her & take her some food a while ago & she looks good & is doing as well as can be expected.

AAAAAAAAAAAAnd, it looks like I will be trading Ruby in on a Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring All Wheel Drive in Metalic red with parchment interior. I was offered a good price on Ruby, good price on the SUV & It just feels like time. I will be selling the custom Hood liner, trunk liner, upgrade floor mats & any under hood bling I can so if you know of anyone interested, for local pick-up, let me know.

Sorry you are selling your baby, but you will enjoy the CX-5. We have a 2015 (bought new in 2014) Grand Touring with AWD, has 107,xxx miles now and it has been trouble free except for when one of the coil packs died on my wife. Otherwise it has just been fluid and tire changes. For my money, Mazda knows how to make vehicles that are fun to drive. Throw on a bigger rear sway bar and it corners well enough to make you sit up and take notice.

Wow, sorry to see you are letting go of your Camaro, she is a fine looking one!! Those Mazda CX-5's are a really nice vehicle though, I almost bought one for my "other" car, but decided it was too big of a vehicle for my needs and bought a Hyundai Kona SEL. I really like it and it is also fun to drive. If I still had the stock hood I would drive up and buy your hoodliner, it looks great!! But I have the cowl hood and it won't work. I am glad that you got a good deal on everything, makes things so much better. And on the other note, really glad your sister is home AND doing well!! Wish you and her AL the best! Prayers and good health to you all!!
