Viv UK: Deepest Sympathy. Prayers and hugs for you and your family at this sad time.
Heather UK: Great article by your DDiL. I was reading about this syndrome just last week.
Margaret: so glad your son is on the mend.
Beth: It's lucky you remembered about that tick. Hope hubby is on the mend.
Re closets: I was always a bit of a clothes hoarder, myself. I was taught to keep everything, 'just in case'. There were lots of hand-me-downs. Then I did a declutter Challenge a couple of years ago, and changed my viewpoint. Got rid of so many items. Still working on it.
@drkatiebug ❤️ the new hairstyle and glasses.
Sending positive vibes to those who need them.
Planning to work in the garden today if the weather holds out.

Morning Ladies~
thank you for all the love and support..I know what your saying.. and Barbie what you say rings true.. I spoke with the girls yesterday and they all said the same thing.. stay here.. just look for a different job..
Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and step out of your comfort zone.. and maybe this is one of those times...work today and ,when your stomach starts churning thinking about it, and what he is going to complain you didn't do when you get in . isnt a fun morning...6 -
Viv UK Love and hugs for you and your mom.
Rebecca You and Athena Rose together is a lovely, lovely sight.
Allie You've put up with lots of difficult situations. You can do this. Hang in there until you find a better job.
Barbara Thanks to you and everyone else who has replied to my ongoing rambling about my grandson's autism spectrum diagnosis.
Pip My doggies are sending yips, butt sniffs, and sloppy kisses to Bullwinkle sweet girl.

My heart failure doggie Bailey has an appointment with his regular veterinarian today for labs and bloodwork. Later this week we go to his cardiologist. Bailey is doing better than I expected. He rests a lot, but has bursts of energy and can still chase a squirrel, bark at a jogger, and leap like a gazelle from the floor up to the footrest of the recliner.These are photos of Bailey as a puppy and as an adult. He is the white doggie. His puppy markings faded, typical for this breed:

Viv - Sorry to hear about your beloved dad, but he was right about the 'good innings'. Glad he passed peacefully.
Rebecca - Sooooooooooooo happy for you!
Dana - Unfortunately it wasn't us who went to the concert, but my son and his wife. They came back absolutely stunned. He said he wanted to go next year, for whoever it is, unless it's someone they hate. It's less than 10 mins walk away in the cricket ground. They saw Lionel Ritchie in the past. Not their thing, but they loved it.
I'm going to ask him if we can go with them next year. Don’t know who it will be. My son gets early booking rights, so we can get in early. Of course, they will have to find a babysitter.
He was almost as delighted to find himself amongst all the local celebs! ! :laugh:
Going to have a leisurely bath this morning in prep for going up to London.

Viv - I'm so sorry for your dad's loss, thinking of you and your mom this morning...
Rebecca - the look of bliss on your face with that baby girl in your arms! Worth much more than a bus ride, no matter how long. Welcome to the circle of grandmas... you'll be amazing!
Beth - hope they got the antibiotics to your husband quickly enough. Scary stuff. Ticks are bad here because of all the rain, and I've had a few bites. Here, they carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Supposedly, only one in a thousand carries it, but I want to know who counts! I seldom trust those kind of numbers, having been on the wrong side of the odds enough in my life, thank-you-very-much.
Allie - Do what's right for you, my dear, and follow your instincts.
Karen VA - Hope the results are good for Bailey, and glad that there is more help available for your grandson - your dedication to his welfare is amazing, heartwarming, and will directly result in helping him live a better life. I'm filled with awe...
Barbara AHMOD - I didn't move those rocks... my husband did, alone, with the assistance of a two-wheel dolly. Or at least, that's what he said anyway. Bluntly, I need my hands for my work, and can be clumsy, so it was one of the times I chose to simply not participate. In fact, I left, as I would have been a twitchy wreck if I watched him do it, or even worse tried to help. Most of the time, for all these tasks like this, I put on heavy leather gloves and dive right in, but all I could see was one of those smashing my hand. Perhaps I've gotten some sense as I've got older? He's nine years younger, so hasn't got there yet...
Katiebug - You look amazing, and even better to me, very happy. Lovely pic.
Amber - love the Siobhan videos, actually did laugh out loud. Funny lady. As are you.
It's another Monday... but got notification in my work e-mail Friday afternoon of a rather large grant won! Quite pleased about it--but there's such a delay between application and award that it wears down my already limited supply of patience. For this one, the initial letter of interest went out in December, we were invited to apply in February, the meeting with the funder was in April, notification in June, and we'll receive the funding in August. Eight months from initial contact to award! Actually, pretty typical of foundations. Even the feds work slightly faster than foundations--will hopefully hear this week on a federal grant we submitted in February (and submitted two requested revisions in April and May).
Hope everyone has a lovely week,
Love y'all,

@Machka9 sounds like you got the short end of the stick in terms of bell curve use. but that it won't have an impact on your employment, but that can be frustrating and possibly demotivating if you put in all the work.0

@TerriRichardson112 Terri, I am from Boston area. someone from there told me that there's a saying or he describe their clothes philosophy as "keep it till it's good and worn and then do without". LOL. i had probably less than average amount of clothes for a woman from North America or Western Europe or Australia etc, but still much more than enough, and most annoyingly, a few almost never worn items (that are not just special event items). I have hardly been buying clothes these past years and am wearing things out. What I have too many off is pairs of socks. But if I dont buy any (other than needed for color, etc reasons) for 5 years, I'll be able to hone it down.i have a lot of striped and polka dotted long knee socks and also many black pairs for more serious times, both cotton and wool for the black ones.3

It means if I'm going to have a chance of finishing a course with an HD (80-100%) - "honours distinction", I need to work my butt off during the course and get a high HD (90-100%) so that I've got a little bit of room when my exam mark is lower. Sometimes I can do it ... sometimes not.
The motivating factor is the end result - Master's degree. In my line of work, if I want a chance of going up a band level or two or three, the more education the better. And other factors as well, but education is an important element.
My hope is to move up into a much better pay scale (band level) and then go to 4 days a week instead of 5. But we'll see. Could be just a dream.

Lisa Thank you! I am in awe of your ability to go with the flow while maintaining discipline for writing, work tasks, etc. You, in my mind, are like the pioneers who were made of incredibly tough stuff, had amazing survival instincts, were multitaskers extraordinaire, and were fiercely loyal to their families.
Machka I've been reading with interest your comments on school & exams. I had one professor who waited until midterms to inform us that our exams would not be based on what was covered in the class. He said he assumed we understood that material, so testing should be on the material he wasn't able to cover in lectures or the syllabus. What material? He couldn't tell us. So we found several years of his old exams in the library, fortunately, and distributed them to the class. I think he was a bit puzzled at how well the class did. He was the only professor who tested on NO material covered in class.
My grandson's language arts teacher told her class at the beginning of the year that she would not coordinate live classroom material with the online curriculum. She taught strictly to SOL preparation in classroom and never mentioned the online curriculum at all. You could email her or go to virtual office hours if you had questions, though, and she was responsive.

Michelle NC (darn spell check always adding another L in your name). - We go by the nap on the app but find a empty spot if theirs a crushed one left we take it. Our stores are hit by smaller Hill Country towns some without stores plus our own folks.We get pretty picked over especially if theirs a tornado warning to worse! One time hubby went their was no canned foods! He got on the floor grabbed the ones that had rolled under shelves checked the date tossed them in dents y dust lol. Other times they just have a blank spot cause it’s a great item everyone wants it especially since we’re a military town their watching calories too for weigh ins.
Athena such a cute baby girl!
Heather- loving those shoes!!! So cute!
