Hi to all - my first day all to myself trying to get a few things done but a bit behind. Moving/carrying stuff is limiting but I can do some stuff.
Just wanted to say hi. Onward!0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. Yesterday was filled with student problems, tracking down assignments, getting evaluations completed for a couple of students who finish up on Friday, etc. I'm hoping today will be smoother. I have two visits today and one tomorrow. I don't know why students wait until the last minute to get things done, and then whine about having to do so much. Drives me crazy. It's foggy this morning. My visit is at 9:00 unless the school corporation has a two hour delay.
I found out yesterday that my cousin is not doing well. I don't understand my family at times. My cousin and her daughter and I used to be close, but it was always me who made contact (and it still is) and always drove to Indy for visits. Her daughter (my 2nd cousin?) confides more in her friends than her family. My brother does, too. My cousin has dementia and had a seizure the other day. Of course, I find out about in on FB rather than a phone call. I've told her daughter to keep me informed and that I am always here for her and will help out in anyway. I can't worry about it, as it's out of my hands. I'm not sure of the course of her dementia, but am told that seizures occur at the last stages. The don't want to give her meds for the seizures unless they are life threatening as it speeds up the dementia. She has rapidly declined in the last year. Sorry for the ranting. I feel helpless.
On a lighter side, Greg and Jillian's pictures are in frames on the wall! They had a great time. Greg took a video of Jillian dancing. She definitely has some moves!
Have a great day, everyone!

Bert, so sorry to near about your cousins nd even feel worse that you found out about it on FB.
Having lunch with my Yayas and then work 5-10. I need to bake a pie to take to work as it is national pie day. Luckily I have a frozen peach pie filling in the freezer. Just need to make the crust, pop it in and bake. The biggest problem will be keeping Edd out of it. Mom and I had a wonderful gabfest, lunch and DVR day.

Hello all, we are getting pretty slim on the board the last two days. My doctor visit went well. My cholesterol is down to 124!! All other labs normal. BP 120/73, not on any meds for it. She did say I had to step back into my exercise as I admitted I had fallen off it.
My son is out of town and I got to talk to him. He is doing well and will be home in May.
Izzy and I went to the huge Library yesterday, today we are at Chick Fil A and will go to our West Mobile library one, which is rather large too. Fun times.
Tomorrow I want to work outside and put some bedding plants in the cement flower pots out by the pool .. plus start working on the front flowerbeds. I have three flower pots on my front porch to fix up too. I love spring. My Rose of Sharon bushes are already starting to bud.
Diane- Where are you my friend? I love your posts! How is Carrie doing after her solo time? Still practicing her instruments? I pray for you all.
Patti- I never found your post to share on Facebook you spoke of. You seem to be getting lots of hours. I love my ITT lamp.
Bert- I know it is frustrating not getting first hand information. You let them know you care and that is what you can do, you are available.The branch had been extended.
Cindy- hello back to you my friend. I read your blog. Yes, you are a business woman, as well as a writer. The full package! Is your website ready? Please send me the link.
I can't wait for Glenn face to see his old cronies show up on the 12th for his birthday bash. I ordered his cake and some crawfish calzones yesterday, as well as chicken wings and a veggie tray. So fun. I wish you all could be here.
Janet- I hope you are also progressing along on your recovery.
Izzy is such a sweetheart! We do have fun together.

Hello Ladies-
Very hectic couple of days at work- but all is well here.
The website isn't done yet- very slowly as I have to learn how to "code" it- as Meg calls it.
Basically its just learning new software. A graphic designer friend has some great ideas but I can't really focus on that until tomorrow. Just no time to really study what she has created.
Still haven't heard from the editor- but not really fretting about it- what will be will be. Either way it will be published.
Patti- so sorry about the family you mentioned.
Janet- did Amazon deliver yet?
Diane- so glad you were able to get out and Carrie seemed to do ok-
Karla- great lab results- you're doing great overall and we're all here with you. What are crawfish calzones- sounds interesting.
Need to wrap up the day- I have my review bright and early tomorrow and my office is a disaster zone.
All the result of a busy two days.
See you all tomorrow.

Hello all. Sorry I have been MIA. I've been quite busy - I don't know how I ever had time to work! Well, I know what I was doing - not doing anything for me, and not getting enough sleep.
Today NOT a good eating day. I told myself this morning I was going to be REALLY on track today, but that just fell apart. I NEED to figure out how to get my mind back in the mode of eating mindfully. I did a Zumba class this morning and I'm sure I burned a lot of calories there, but not enough!
Six of Carrie's friends are coming for the weekend on Saturday-Sunday, as a surprise. She knows one of them is coming, but not the whole crew. I need to figure out what to feed them. One is vegan, and another is allergic to nuts. I got some tofurkey Italian sausages, and thought I would try those in our sausage and pepper pasta recipe, leaving the cheese to be sprinkled on top. Not sure what to have with it, and not sure about breakfast either. I don't know how long they are staying - if through lunch I will make a veggie black bean chili, I think.0 -
Bert, so sorry for your cousin's troubles, and for the sting of how you found out. (FB is how I found out my niece who lives in OR was in MI last summer - so wrong.)
Cindy, the long-handled scoop arrived and I think it will work just fine. Thanks for the smart thinking!
Patti, you are a busy bee indeed. Hope the customers are kind this evening.
Karla, glad doc went well.
Very warm here - have a couple of windows open and the fresh air is lovely. Yes, I'd prefer it cooler - it IS February - but oh well. Cats have been listening to birds and other sounds.
BIG computer issues here - my old Win7 computer, without warning, started making weird beeps and typing random characters. Hit Backspace, get a 4 or ". Can't even get to Computer to back up files. It's old and not worth fixing but I may see if someone can back the documents, pictures, music files, etc. up, which I haven't done in too long. Dumb move, Janet! Nothing horrible, but annoying, Have even tried dropping it onto the rug a few times. Going to let it run down but not trying anything today. Well, at least I have the newer MacBook and will now use it full-time.
House got cleaned - hardwoods hadn't been done in for weeks and they look great again. Am managing well, then heaven!0 -
Bert, I loved the pic of your son and granddaughter. The love rom your son really shines through, and the fact that he matched his tie to her dress just made it so sweet!
Cindy, keeping my fingers crossed that you get feedback from the editor soon.
Karla, you are getting some real quality Izzy time! Great report from your doctor, but did they have any clue on the dizziness?
Janet, sounds like you are working out how to do some things yourself. Don't overdo! I left Carrie for a couple of hours today too - she needs to start trying to do more for herself also. She did get her shower but waited until I got home to get her something to eat, rather than coming downstairs by herself.
Patti, I know you had fun with your yayas! They sound like a great bunch.
Suzi, I think taking Dinky along on some short rides in the RV is a great idea. Have you tried just sleeping out in it in the driveway with him? That might give him the idea. Sorry about the treats at the workshop - hopefully your plan to focus on fruits and veggies is faring better than mine this week!0 -
Another quick stop. Work was slow, probably ththe slowest night ever but I managed to logged 14K steps by putting things away one at a time, lol. My feet are aching. Had a great lunch with my girls, quick Costco run and went to work a bit early to do some shopping. Got the paint brushes and palette I have been eyeing. With my discount and 2 40% off coupons it wasn't so bad. Now to find time to do some painting!
Sweet dreams dear, if dreams there be....

Hello Ladies-
Welcome to a warm and sunny Thursday in the Berkshires- the temps may hit 60 today for us. Feels like spring but we may still get hit with winter weather- we're not really out of the danger zone until April 1.
Diane- Its wonderful news the friends are coming to surprise Carrie- Veggie chili and the sausage and pepper dish sounds like just the ticket. I often wonder if I'll get bored in retirement and you've answered that question-
Janet- Happy scooping-sorry about the computer woes I didn't realize you hadn't completely migrated to your Mac yet.
Patti- 14K that's great. Move it baby- so happy you got some new supplies too. Happy painting.
Today is review day- think good thoughts.
Tomorrow is LR day- yeah so time to get the writing flowing for book 7.
Until later.
Cindy0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. I have another visit today and it will probably take most of the day. I'm having my hearing checked this morning. I'm having trouble hearing out of my left ear. I went to the doctor to have my ears cleaned out as I have crooked ear canals. Then, it's off to my visit.
Janet: I took my old computer in and they were able to find and recover files I needed. I was able to copy them to a jump drive. Come to find out, there was a virus on it which was preventing me from opening anything up. Good Luck. I just backed up pictures, educational files, and church files on my new computer. I need to to that on my laptop that I purchase at my school several years ago. It's starting to act up.
Diane: I'm sure the matching outfits were Carrie's doing and not Greg's. She did a great job and it made a wonderful photogenic moment.
Time to run. Have a great day, everyone!

Hi all,
Dragging this morning but pushing myself to hit the gym. Then off to the grocery for a few items. I also need to do laundry and some housework before going back to the gym this evening. This is how I spend my day off. I am working Friday and Saturday then off until 5pm on Wednesday. Fish fry Saturday night to benefit the motorcycle club my son belongs to, think racing not chains and gangs, lol. Sunday I am going to a baby shower that is being held at Bravos, one of my very favorite restaurants, so happy to be celebrating this event for a very lovely, sweet social worker with a huge heart. Missed her wedding so don't want to miss this event!
Karla, awesome news on your dr visit. What was said about the vertigo? Izzy is so lucky to have such a devoted grandma, not all little girls are as fortunate.
Diane, so excited for Carrie's surprise slumber party. You are an awesome mom. Your weekend get away looked and sounded perfect and probably just the break you and John needed.
Cindy, you will ace your review and then you can carry that feeling into LR day. With a few days off I am really hoping to get some time to try my hand at painting. I may take my supplies with me on vacation since we will be visiting the friend who taught me to watercolor.
Janet, yeah for technology (scooper) and boo for tech problems. The one thing I have always done is put all my pics on CDs after loading them into my computer. I also have them backed up on an external hard drive. I hope you get everything retrieved successfully.
Suzi, loved Diane's suggestion to sleep in the driveway. Ellis seems to really be adjusting to whatever you throw at him.
Bert, hope the hearing issue can easily be fixed with a cleaning.
Guess I better get moving, coffee doesn't seem to be kicking in much so hope exercise gets my blood pumping for the day.
Patti0 -
Hello all - just a quick check in to put myself on account. I am GOING to eat clean and stay off the computer games for just one day. I sit down and get sucked in. And then I want to nibble. Maybe combining the two ideas will make a difference. I'm only here to log my breakfast (egg mug and cheese stick), post workout snack (half a smoothie- Carrie is enjoying the other half) and exercise (morning body weight and abs class - really worked the arms today!) Waiting for her PT to come and I have some little chores around the house to do, then this afternoon to the consignment place to see if they will take some of my MILs stuff that I don't want and couldn't just trash or donate.
Back TONIGHT but no sooner!0 -
Good Thursday morning all,
Izzy and I dropped Millie off at Petsmart grooming this morning. We then went to Lowes and picked out some bedding plants to work on the pots at home.
Diane- You are a very special Mom.
Cindy- You will excel at your review, of course.
Patti- I admire your loyalty to your gym. I am still struggle to get back in the groove.
Janet- I detest computer woes also.
Bert- Do you get a salary for your services of the mentoring? You are such an asset!
I better get going. Beautiful sunny day in the mid 70's.
Karla0 -
Hi - Cloudy but warm here - two windows remain open.
Old computer worked long enough for me to get docs off but still need to get pictures and music (from all the CDs I ripped to it). Doing what I can but may have to call the guy who helped with my printer & new router. I can't take it anywhere right now. Had stayed with the old one because it's set up so well - just need to bite the bullet and make the shift.
Diane, Carrie is so lucky to have you and John. My house is a ranch because of my orthopedic issues - Carrie having to deal with stairs has to be daunting.
Cindy, how I hated Review Day - but know yours was stellar. The scoop works - thanks again for the idea! Enjoy LR day tomorrow.
Karla, how is your vertigo? Did the doc opine? You are getting so much Izzy time these days - makes me smile.
Bert, you give so much to your work, family and church. Do make time for yourself, and for you & Mike as a couple.
Suzi, glad Ellis & Dinky are so cute together.
Patti, how are your feet holding up?
Hello to
Thinking I may need a little nap. Watching stuff on DVR today and dealing with computer crazies as a full-time gig.
Take care, all - hugging everyone!0 -
Accomplished everything on my list. Both gym classes were brutal but I survived to talk about it, lol. Neither was "the same old workout" with more cardio and more weights. So I think I earned my pasta with turkey sausage, bacon, sundried tomatoes and mushrooms in a sauce made with skim milk and Laughing Cow Asiago cheese wedges and garlic..... Yum.
Janet, I admire you getting as far as you did with getting your files off. I had a really hard time moving my music from one computer to the next and had to call in some help too. I wish you luck.
Now I am going to relax
Patti0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. Today is to be the last warm day for a few days. A cold front is approaching and the high for tomorrow will only be 38. I know that's more normal for this time of year, but it will be a drastic change.
Karla: Yes, I get paid; however, it's not much for the amount of work I do. But, that's ok. To hear a student say she would like me to continue being her supervisor or I'm the first one who has really helped her out is payment enough for me. I look at it as a ministry.
Patti: There is a discrepancy between the left and right ear. The audiologist is suggesting I see an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor for more clarification. She said it wasn't bad enough for a hearing aid which is what I wanted to know. I'm taking Lipoflavinoid for my ringing. She said it can take up to 3 months for it to work.
Janet: Good luck with your computer issues. I need to take my Mac laptop to a repairman to see what the problem is. I'm definitely backing up my files and pictures on it too.
Have a great day, everyone!

Hi Ladies-
I didn't sleep well last night so slept in the morning. Talked to a friend on the phone over coffee and decided to check in first before starting LR and I have counseling at 1- groceries and the bank. I'm opening an individual checking account today.
Review went fine and we're getting a nice bonus at work this year. So it was good news yesterday.
Janet- glad the scooper works well.
Bert- I know the cool front is coming our way from you too- but at least we had a touch of spring.
Patti- two classes in one day- I'm impressed.
Karla- I can't wait to get plants for outside.:)
Diane- I hate it when the computer sucks me into something- lol stay strong today and have fun with the girls.
Need to get moving- words must get on the page today.
Cindy0 -
So wanted to skip the gym and sleep in but I pushed through and glad I did. She did 20 minutes of Zumba just to get our heart rate up and our muscles warm. Then 40 minutes of Pilates, which I sorely needed. Now all stretched out and feeling got. Work 2-7 tonight, 10-3 tomorrow and then fun time. I may delve into my painting supplies tonight to relax. I am going to pick up some good watercolor paper with my 50% off coupon and my 30% discount. If we are not too busy I will see if I can find the pattern and material for the Snow White apron.
Cindy, sorry for the no sleep. Bet things are just running wild in your mind right now. Congrats on the review and bonus. I know you have worked hard for both.
Bert, I know what you mean about getting the appreciation from your students. When I was a case manager, it meant everything when a patient or family acknowledged my efforts to help them.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Enjoy your spring while you can. Janet, winter is returning for your enjoyment for a bit
Patti0 -
Cindy, my best friend came up with a name for the last hour of sleep you get after being awake for hours in the middle of the night: re-sleep. That's me last night, with nightmares during re-sleep. But I'm here and about to fetch the mail (with the car, which I need to move back a foot or so to get to the freezer). Going to make taco meat (I ue lean ground turkey) for salads. Hope I have salsa ... Hmmm ...
I think I'm getting stuff off the old computer but can't type - went to rename a file of photos, typed "Ph" and computer put "Q-" - so it's pretty messed up. Once all is off, will wipe it.
One stroke of luck - was using old computer partly because of passwords stored in Norton Identity Safe, which does not work on Macs. But did an online chat last night with Norton and the guy gave me a link that lets me pull the logins up on my Mac (it won't autoflll but I can look them up as needed and store in Safari). Hoping my TurboTax will transfer past stuff over.Many hours of work ahead but will be on the MacBook full-time now. Just need to acclimate to the changes. It's good, productive activity.
Hot and windy here, storms this evening. Picking up groceries early tomorrow - just thought of a few things to add.
See you all later - wishing everyone a lovely weekend.

Hello all. Hope your Fridays have been as productive as mine! Got the whole house cleaned (John did floors, vacuumed and mopped), got the last of the groceries I need for the weekend. Now just have to figure out how to keep the surprise until at least one friend arrives. Carrie knows her friend from NY is coming but that from end always takes the train and C wants to in when we need to pick her up at the station That friend is actually riding with another friend from NH so we don't need to pick her up. I don't know what time they are arriving. Three from Richmond (about 2.5 hours away) are supposed to be arriving around 1:30. And one who has to work tomorrow won't be here until around 6:30. So excited for her!
We also cleaned up from trees taken down last week- loaded what wood was worth keeping onto The log pile and the rest (rotten stuff) onto the truck to go to the dump tomorrow. I am tired tonight! That was all on top of my aqua aerobics this morning.0 -
Janet I hate computer stuff! We went from a PC to a Mac last fall and I'm still not sure I have everything. I know I have but can't find all my pictures. MAc doesn't like you to organize them in a file and folder structure. It wants to do it its own way.
Cindy sorry for the bad sleep. I'm sure it is stress. Hope your counseling session was fruitful. Were you able to get some writing done today?
Patti you are so busy these days! Any word on your car yet? I've thought about trying a Pilates class but I don't like the times they are offered.
Bert too bad the audiologist can't just wave her magic wand and make all better. That's always what I hope for from the doctor but it never seems to work that way
Karla are you still having nice weather? I bet you will be busy watching parades this weekend!
Suzi waving hi. I'm betting you are off somewhere with the dogs.0 -
Hi Ladies-
I got a chapter written yesterday and I think its pretty good stuff. This morning will be another good morning of writing in about ten minutes. I think Rick will be home early so that will shorten the day.
We are giving our marriage one more month- but in all honesty he's looking at apartments and he wants me to be someone who sits on the couch with him and doesn't have a life without him involved in every iota of existence. He hates my job, unhappy with my writing, very upset when I have dinner with y girlfriend who just lost her husband- and the list go on.
This is all link to his depression, paranoia and anxiety. I think I finally understand there was nothing I could do to fix it- he's had it so long I don't think he even knows what he would feel like without whatever rages in his head. Was a tough afternoon and evening yesterday.
Sorry for the dump but I don't want to share this with anyone in my family yet until we have made some final decisions and the date is solidified.
I'll be strong but it is very sad.
Glad you all are having positive things going on in your life.
Have a great day.

Good Morning, Ladies. I can't believe it's snowing! Oh well, it is February. My friend and I went to a play last night at the college where I work. It was funny, but there were definitely scenes I didn't feel were appropriate for a Catholic College. I'm wondering what the nuns thought as there were several in attendance. The play was "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change". We had a great time, and tickets were free due to my status at the college. You can't beat that! This weekend will be filled with preparing for my trip to NC to visit my brother. He said that he had appointments scheduled, so I so hoping it will be a productive trip.
Janet: I have both a PC and Mac (purchased from the school when I taught). I'm interested in how you store your passwords. Currently, I have a spiral notebook!
Diane: You can create Albums on a Mac and drag your photos into the albums. I've done this with my photos when my grandchildren were born. I plan to make a CD of my photos on both computers. I need to get my Mac fixed as I feel it is more user friendly.
Cindy: Pardon me for my opinion, but it would be impossible for me to be the wife Rick wants. It sounds like he's wanting to control the relationship. My divorce from my first husband was a great opening door and has helped make me the woman I am today. It was very difficult while the marriage was failing, but now, I can just reflect on how I have changed. Mike knows that I'm an independent woman, and knew that when we married. You are a strong and creative woman, and you shouldn't have to succumb to a different type of life. God will take you where you are and lead you to the path He wants you to take. Take care.
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning.
Cindy, you did not cause & cannot fix Rick's issues. I remember what it was like for me - and we were in different states most of the time. When we were together it ratcheted up, so the constancy of your situation and your grace in handling it boggles me. Glad you are taking some financial steps as well - as icky as it may be, it's important. Big hugs - glad you have your writing and the girls - did Meg make it back to OH all right?
Bert, I have protection from Norton on my PC and its Identity Safe feature stores my passwords. It works differently but I can access them (online chat guy was great help). Am going to write them down though - project for another day. I like the Mac, especially the seamless access to my calendar and texts, but there's enough different from PC that adapting continues. Am just grateful that I have been able to get stuff off the old one - haven't booted it up today to see what it will let me do.
Diane, congrats on a productive day - know you will love seeing Carrie's face and watching everyone having fun together! You are a GREAT mom.
Ran errands this morning - picked up groceries, drove to Costco to get gas because they have attendants. The guy was super nice and told me they'll be glad to pump gas for me whenever. Bonus - it being Costco, gas was 37 cents a gallon cheaper than the Thornton's station closest to the house. Left home a bit after 7:30 and was home, with groceries put away by 10. Have a fair amount of foot & back pain but took something and will do nothing that might tweak things further.
Weather here is loony, as Bert and Patti are no doubt experiencing. It got to 82 & muggy yesterday - hottest day EVER in February. Three rounds of fairly brief but intense storms last night, one with blueberry-sized hail. Then it got below freezing last night and was 35 when I got home - even saw a few very tiny, light snow flurries. Bizarro World!
Have a lovely day, everyone!!!!0 -
Diane, would love to be a fly on the wall when all the girls get there. I know Carrie will just be so delighted. Hope you find some time to rest but with a house full of gilrls I bet you will be hopping.
Cindy, my heart goes out to you but I know you are probably stronger than you think. I truly believe LR is your saving grace. His demons have been with him far longer than you have and they are not yours to tame. I know it is sad for you because you love him sand much but you have to love yourself more, always, it is not optional. It is imperative for your health and survival. We are always here for you, never apologize for letting it all out. You have to for your sanity.
Janet, you have been a busy bee and I am so happy you are finding those services to assist you. I do not envy your computer tasks, I know I will be facing the same thing soon, my laptop is dying a slow death. I saw a post from 2010 when I killed my last computer by spilling coffee with cream on the keyboard.
Bert, your evening sounds like fun, even if the play was a tad inappropriate for the venue. It sounds like Mike is a true gem in your life.
Weather here has been very weird. High 70's yesterday and they had the heat on at work, thought I would get heat stroke! Storms last night, but not until I got home, yeah. Left for work this morning in snow flurries and came home home in freezing temps with lots of wind. Found the perfect apron pattern for the Snow White costume plus got all the fabric I think I need to make it and picked up some good watercolor paper all for $14. Calling that a successful day. Work was busy but not awful and had extra time to help some customers with their projects, that is when I feel like I have to earned my pay. Now a night out with Edd, something we rarely seem to have time for these days. Will also be hanging with son and DIL, plus lots of friends, so calling today awesome!
See you all tomorrow

Hi gang! Back home from the lake so out of cell hell. I did well with my fruit and veggie week last week! Haven't weighed myself, but will in the morning.
Cindy - let me put on my banker hat for a minute. If you're even considering separating, and haven't already done so, open a separate checking account first thing Monday and transfer your half (or whatever is appropriate portion) of joint funds immediately. Do NOT wait for any reason. Almost universally one spouse who is trying to do the right thing winds up getting shafted when their trusted partner cleans out the bank account. If he's already having trust issues, it's doubly important you do it. I'm not suggesting you take everything, and I do advocate telling him what you've done afterwards, but you're the one who will need to make those decisions. Please just don't wait to do it.
Diane - thanks for the suggestion about spending the night in the driveway with Dinky. We may just try that.
Ellis is doing great at obedience training! He's very eager to please, in addition to being high entertainment. Right now he's sitting in my lap giving me kisses.
More later, I just wanted to check in and also wanted to be sure and give Cindy my best banker advice.0 -
Quick check in. Operation surprise was a total success! She was wanting us to leave for the train station when first Sam and then Megan walked in the door. She was so surprised Megan was here! (Was expecting Sam only). They were up in her bedroom when Mitch, Joe and Lindsey arrived. I heard her squeal of delight. They were all playing a card game at the kitchen table and laughing away when Kaitlyn showed up last, and she got all the way in and next to Carrie while she was looking at her cards. Another delightful noise. This was just what she needed. We are spending the night in the RV in the driveway so they can have the house to themselves, stay up late and make as much noise as they want.
Feeling blessed tonight.1 -
Diane, thank you for sharing, I will go to bed with the biggest smile on my face and in my heart for Carrie. I know it will never compare to how you are feeling, camping in the driveway still counts, lol.
Had a great time at the fish fry. Added bonus of spending time with my granddaughter and her BF, sharing my best grandmother advice (she is 20 and really needs some right now, lol).
Patti0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. Today will be spent getting things in order before my trip tomorrow to visit my brother for a week. I'm going through my freezer to inform Mike of food he can heat up for his dinners. I'll also make a quick trip to the store for him.
Janet: Sorry you are having computer problems, but it's a great reminder for me to get my act in gear to back up photos on my MAC before I have serious problems. I never thought I would need files I created on my MAC while teaching, but have actually shared them with my college students, so I definitely want to back them up as well.
Cindy: I agree....take care and protect yourself. When I was going through my divorce, I was struggling with the emotional side. My friends and my lawyer helped protect my interests for the future. Stay strong and stand up for yourself.
Diane: So glad the surprise went well.
Have a great day, everyone!
