I am so saddened. A friend, Flory Ornstein (wife of retired LASD Neil) passed away Thursday. She was such a super nice gal and I was so happy I got to know her. RIP Flory
This was at the LASD Roundup in Laughlin, 2014.
And another pal, Georgia Sue, BFF of my friend Trish, had a
couple strokes Thursday and is in the hospital. With her Rottie,

Get well soon, GS!! xo

Because of what happened to my friend Georgia Sue I finally got something to help me if needed. I got Life Alert. If you push the button on your wrist or pendent http://www.lifealert.com/ it connects with their 911 dispatchers. It also has GPS if you are away from home so you can be located. They also have home intrusion protection. All sounds good to me. They have my emergency numbers and medical information. It will be here Tuesday and then a tech will come over and set it up.
Their main office is in Encino California and that's also where their
dispatchers are. I had the best conversation with their rep, Andrew. Thanks Andy
Pandy!

National Chocolate Covered Anything Day
Oh be still my heart!!!!
Chocolaholics rejoice! Today is National Chocolate Covered Anything
Day.
Its a great day to indulge, binge, "pig out", and otherwise consume to
excess, your favorite food....chocolate. We believe the timing of this day,
during the holiday season, couldn't be better.
Today, we get to enjoy our beloved chocolate by covering something...just
about anything... in a generous amount of chocolate. Pour, spread, or drizzle
chocolate over cakes, cupcakes, pies, pancakes or waffles, nuts, raisins, even
ants (yes, some people actually eat chocolate covered ants!). We will let you
decide what is too extreme, and how much is too much, if any.
As chocoloaholics, we shouldn't need any added incentive to enjoy our
chocolate. In the giving spirit of the holiday season, make sure to give or
share some of your favorite chocolate covered treats today.
Happy National Chocolate
Covered Anything
Day!!!!
