    Karen- Not the worker it’s the silly corporate wahoos who never handles a customer in their life making up rules. At my old job I shad to ask a million Identification questions to pass on to the next person or they couldn’t take you until I directed you to them. Even tho they were right there heard it all they have to ask you a million Identification questions to make sure who I spoke to in front or not of them is the same person. Corporate yahoo’s do this don’t realize how hard it makes it in the worker who gets the customers wrath y frustration trust me the worker feels stupid y terrible having to ask it but since they record calls or a boss walking around even plain clothed like the workers won’t know it’s them write them up or chew them out as a violation of policy for not asking stupid things like “Do you want our company credit card 💳 even tho you say NO every week to me I know your name y probably your grandkids name their watching so here’s the question neither of us want to say or answer. Some customers I managed to tell what the stupid policy was why I had to ask how they could call leave their opinion on the policy with a simple How are we doing questionaire. It worked for a few weeks pamphlets only y no questions asked. Then another corporate wahoo made the other corporate yahoo change it back so once again same dumb questions. If I sold a credit card 💳 it was always the customer asking for it. They actually got on to the cashier for not signing more people up per month. Had to be the cashier who never gets to attend a meeting or notified of new policy until a customer tells them fault...not the high interest rate y fact it was a small town everyone already got a card.

    :) It is very difficult to refrain from making sweeping generalizations about a group when you have been upset by one member of the group. It is a never ending challenge for me.

    :) My quiet house is now filled with conversations between Jake and Alexa. It reminds me of an episode of one of my favorite TV shows where one of the characters developed an almost romantic relationship with his "smart refrigerator".

    Today has been tough, I felt really hungry all day for some reason. I managed to keep under 1400kcals and 30g net Carbs. No exercise though.
    I'm enjoying reading everyone's posts.

    Wow slept wonderfully
    I needed it..
    Jean has been in the medical field for over 30 yrs and thinks she knows it all..and most of it she does. But the reality of it is..her mom now needs 24 hr care and with her working full time and escaping up North for the weekends the trust pays for someone to stay with her..
    But these weekends wear me out..so i will agree to do one weekend a month and thats it
    I texted my brother and told him honestly this is when you get Hospice involved..

    What a difficult time for you all.

    I am curious about who set up the trust, who manages the trust, and why the trust would be explicit that Jean cannot go into long term care. That seems like an odd caveat to me, since anyone, at any age, really, could have a need for long-term care because of age, health, or accident.

    Take care of yourself, Allie. We all love you and worry about you and your sweet pup.

    That tickles me so much, Barbie. My mother has a dot, too, and while she doesn't use it a lot, her great granddaughter, when she visited, would have so much fun talking to it. I was encouraged that it was a good gift for my mom, when she got the google equivalent for her great granddaughter for Christmas last year.

    My mom didn't understand the Christmas, probably four years or more ago now, that we got her a kindle. But it has become her lifeline. She uses it to keep in contact with us, with her friends, with the weather. She uses it all day long. I told her the other day that it is about time for us to upgrade her kindle. She was slightly panicked, but she has used it for so long. I am afraid one day it will just stop.

    Funny. I don't think she ever uses it for reading a book, and there are plenty on there because it is associated with our amazon account. I ponder that sometimes, what Amazon has become. Remember when it was just a place you could get books online?

    Pip, hope you are looking into a bee keeper, and not a pest control guy. Even though bees can bee a pest sometimes, they are so vital.

    Today making french toast, and sausage patties for my birthday dinner. I am not eating it!😁. I have decided to "gift" myself a day of fasting, it might even be longer. The feeling of knowing my body is choosing to use fat as fuel, instead of glucose well it is exhilarating. To realize my body has the capability to heal itself, its an untapped blueprint, that neither the medical community or the pharmaceutical companies want you to know about. I still love my glorious meal between the hours of noon and 4 pm, but today I love myself more.💖

    Heather ~ Perhaps your husband could go to his cricket friend's for lunch without you. Just a thought. :)

    Rebecca ~ Happy Birthday Sweet Lady!

    I know this sounds petty, but I am bummed out that my one and only soap has no new episodes due to movie sets still quarantined.

    Pip, woot! for a deadline for Kirby's retirement! That's only six weeks away!

    Flea, ditto on the "what Amazon has become," marveling. All I do on my Kindle is read, so I'm exactly the opposite of your mom. I do love the fact that all the books are in the cloud, so even if my Kindle bites the big one, my library is still out there.

    Barbie, I'd be using the Dot for target practice. I do not want one in my house... to me it's like handing your life to Amazon. I do enough of that already.

    Rebecca - Happy birthday!

    Letti - Well done on the calorie restriction.

    Rita - loved both, but especially the night moon. Very dramatic, great photo.

    Got out of the shower just wiped out. Might be a nap in my future... :blush:

    Love y'all,

    they are endangered, that wouldn't happen. even pest control guys could remove them safely and not "destroy" them

    Carol - He could still bring back the virus. I'm not ready for him sharing food they have handled and objects being passed around. We both need to stay safe. I'm happy for him to go for a walk and eat his own food, no touching. That's just the stage I'm at. I would prefer to stay like this for ever, but I know I can't, but that is moving too fast.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Pip find a bee keeper. They would love to have this hive. Please do not exterminate we need all the bees we can get. This is normal behavior for bees.

    I have a friend who is a bee keeper in Minnesota and she posted to be on the look out for something like you have and to contact a local beekeeper in your area to take them.

    Hi. I'm 52, so I guess I belong here! Anyone in this group ever get braces for their teeth this late in life? I have an appointment this week to see about fixing my teeth and am contemplating getting the clear kind or the real metal ones.

    Hi. Welcome. My mother got them in her 50s I think. I have two other friends in their 50s who have the invisiline type. They did it through Smile Direct, I think. They recommended going in and having them laser scan so they fit better. They liked them.

    COVID spoilers
    The reason I try to remember to put C-19 talk in a spoiler is because we lost so many wonderful contributers to this thread in March when we all lost our minds and posted about almost nothing but C-19. I really miss those women; there were several long-time contributors who have not been back, and may never be. We all have our 'delicate flower' issues, and C-19 is a toxic virus that is here to stay, at least until it mutates or we all get immunized against it. I don't mind using spoilers for the time being about this topic out of consideration to those who are feeling vulnerable and weary of the talk.

    Karen in Virginia

    This was why I started using spoilers, too. Also, it does save space on the feed.

    Tina: I got braces in my 4O’s but not the full-scale works. I have four lower middle teeth that have been linked with permanent “retainer” on the back side. They ended up supporting my upper teeth and it improved my bite. They’ve been doing many amazing things since back then. :star:

    Allie: Happy upcoming 60th birthday! :star::heart: :star: :heart;:


    Beans—I planted more seeds beside the damaged plants. I hope they sprout and grow healthy. In other good news, I don’t have to go into Portland for a medical procedure. That possibility was a huge stressor and I’m glad it is not going to happen in the foreseeable future.

    Jelly: 👍🏻 on the grant.
    Tracey: Your chairs look the same as the ones we got over 15 years ago. They are very comfortable and have adjustable backs. They still look good and are going strong.

    Did Michelle Dozois Pure Strength DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do the Dressed Up Drills DVD.

    Amber – I’m so sorry that your IP is so terrible for you. I don’t know if you will be able to open any of them while you are cooking since they’re under pressure (for the most part, I don’t think yogurt is) and as a safety feature you can’t open it when it’s under pressure

    Lynette – I guess we’ve had those chairs for about 10 years, but it started doing that about a year or two after we got them. Each year it just got worse. It’s not so bad now but I think that’s because all the “stuff” that come off already came off. Not sure why this happened

    Letti UK – welcome

    Heather – I didn’t know you don’t need a ring for yogurt! I’m still in the process of learning it. I wish I could find a recipe book with BASIC recipes, like just meat and things. I need to learn and experiment before I get on to things like a whole dinner in the IP

    Barbara - I must have misunderstood, too, because I didn’t find any post to be divisive. Really, about the only tofu that I like is the silken because you really can’t taste it at all. I tried putting the firm in the food process with a little water thinking it might come out like silken, but it didn’t.

    SuziQ – like I’ve said, the minute I got my IP, my pressure cooker went to the Salvation Army. I kept my crock pots, not that I really care for using them, but they come in handy if you need to take a food somewhere and need to keep it warm. I have two slow cookers, but I’m thinking about getting rid of the bigger one since I really don’t use it. Oh, trust me, I’ve already said that there are things in those boxes that Jess may want like her college diploma. She needs to make the judgment if something should be kept or not. I guess if worse comes to worse, I’ll just put them in the closet after she leaves. I know she won’t be happy, but that’s tough. I don’t want them sitting out. I think Jess spoke to Vince separate from me hoping (and succeeding in her mind) to pit mom against dad. Yes, this is a 13-year-old’s thinking. But I guess part of her wanted what she wanted, and tried this way. Only it didn’t work. Oh, I didn’t realize that Broward county is behind Brevard. I’ve found people being more relaxed here, too. But I still do see a lot of elderly people with masks/gloves. But for the most part only the elderly. I used to see younger people with gloves, not so much now. Actually, for the first time in a long time Jess came out of her room last night and was watching TV with me.

    I was thinking the other day….one of the good points of this whole c-19 stuff is that I don’t have to deal with Miss Sourpuss at the soup kitchen….lol

    Oh, we got a Rooba last night. We still need to map where the boundaries for the rooms are. Vince is having a great time with the technology. Personally, I’ll probably run it a lot in the kitchen where there are lot of crumbs, etc. And maybe only once a week or so in the living and dining room since we aren’t in those rooms all that much.

    Lynette     – Jess is working for a few more weeks at Banfield (associated with PetSmart). She was saying that they came to her college and what she’s doing is basically shadowing the vet there. I suspect she’s doing things under his supervision.

    Pip     – good for you not letting Kirby take that beehive out. It’s really big. He could get stung so easily.

    Rebecca     – happy birthday!

    Stopped at PetSmart since Vince wanted to see if they had a certain cat food. Their website said they did but it wasn't in the store. Then went to JoAnn's Fabric so I could use my 40% off coupon and get some yarn that I need, then WalMart since Vince needed a wire. See, we needed a new acid pump for the pool. It came today but the cord is shorter and wouldn't reach the outlet. So he had to use the cord from Rover for it and needed a new cord for Rover. A new condenser pump for the a/c will be here tomorrow and Vince will install it. The a/c hasn't run at all today it's so cool. The pool is down to 79 (boo). It was 86 yesterday.
