It seems Mr.PAV hasn’t been his ebullient self the last few months. Perhaps because the group has been quiet and fragmented lately?
Anyway I miss his tales of bargain grocery shopping, adventures in cooking (ie. candy sandwiches), doggy walking stories, and misbehaving in general. What’s up?
I’ve missed Laurie’s artistic and creative daily reports. And Bella’s wisdom and experiences. And BCLady’s travel and kindness…..
Luckily NIC has stepped in with her fabulous success stories, hockey and success.
And then there’s all you lurkers who remain anonymous while eavesdropping….. I can “feel” you out there.2 -
Black Friday overload!
And to that we add:
Cell phone plan adventures
Travel plan purchasing
Computer workstation purchasing
Combined with More cell and device adventures
Including the one known as phone toss with quadruple twist and direct screen landing!2 -
But Ninja Creamie is on its way
Home Depot refund of $150 to match black Friday deals has been achieved 😉3 -
That’s more like it Mr. PAV! Tell me you didn’t deliberately toss your phone?
Anyway you’ve certainly been having shopping adventures.
What is a Ninja Creamie?1 -
This was inadvertent pitch and toss... like in a game of boule in France 😎.... except there was screen landing and crunch and crying
You're too young to corrupt with Creamie🤣 is the 7:1 not 11:1 version
But your climate would suit it more than mine2 -

I really don't like not being able to post pictures from the phone! 🤷♂️1

Me neither. You can do it through the web browser from your phone but not from the app1

I hope 💥2025💥 brings you health and joy! Best wishes for a trouble-free and awesome New Year replete with fulfilling accomplishments! 😎3

Oh - I like that, PAV. (both with and without the comma ) "REPLETE" very nice word that I haven't heard in a long time!
Fulfilling Accomplishments! YES!1 -
Wonder how Nic is doing?1
-
Drowning. School started, lol3
-
You? Your daughters? All?🤷♂️1
-
I sympathize Nic. I decided to go to graduate school when I was about your age. Juggling family, a full time job and care giving. But it was one of the best decisions of my life.
When you get through this time, you’ll be glad you did it.3 -
Mine, Pav. Completing my Bachelor's degree (8 have an associate's degree). Plus side, that opens up moving back to Canada3
-
Good for you, Nic! Does your new lightness bring some extra energy? I too went back to school in my late 30s. Was an experience for sure. Two kids, part time work, caring for my mom and husband and house. But absolutely a brilliant move. Earned an honours BA - considered graduate school, Yooly, but ran out of steam (and was hit with divorce with took the wind out of my sails for awhile). Haven't given up on the idea though!
What are you studying, Nic?1 -
I graduated with an associate's degree in nursing about 3 weeks before my 36th birthday. Started working my job as an RN about 2 weeks after that 36th birthday. I'm back in school to complete my bachelor's in nursing, now 45 lol3
-
Late bloomer!!!!! Means you will go long and deep.... who knows... maybe you will be doing the NP thing soon
2 -
Oh, I absolutely do not want to do the NP thing. I'll be 46 when I complete my bachelor's degree, and I want to be retired by 60ish (and *knock wood* we're on track for that). I don't want to spend another 2 years on my master's degree, especially since I have multiple nurse friends who have done it and it's all paper writing and discussion posts. My two classes I am in right now already show there's going to be way too much of that as is, I don't want more.2

And the little voice in the morning that says I'll try again today!

The BEST voice is the one that SOMETIMES says: "So what if I've blown it already? This constitutes neither permission nor need to CONTINUE to blow it. I stop now, not later or after the next bite or whatever. Now. Not after another candy or slice or some ice cream or a tipple or two!"
A stopped blow out at the very least limits the damage... If two of our tires were blown show me one of us who would take a drill or a hammer and nails to the third and fourth and the spare too!🤯🤷♂️2
