Heather, Johnny does look a bit contemplative in that shot. As in, “He contemplated the ways he’d make her pay for what she’d put him through. Nothing really noticeable. A trace of salt in her tea? Perhaps a soupçon of vinegar in the wine? He’d decide later, he decided. After a nap.”
Sharon, Sleepy in Seattle
Thanks!!! I will try that. So, try 1300 or 1400 one day or closer to 1200? Not sure how much over I should go

I would start with 4 or 5, see how they work, it says you can take them again in 20 min(I think that is what it is) if needed.

I'm bummed today. I had been texting a guy I met online for maybe a month. He said the sweetest things, to the point where it was really too much, but flattery always feels great. Now he asked me for money.
So I guess I will block him, even though I half believe his story. I do not do banking with people I barely know, even if he says he loves me. Scam or not, the relationship was one-sided and going nowhere.
Oh well, there is already a new guy on the horizon. I just hate to be rude to the old guy. Guess I will have to put my big girl panties on and just block him.
Annie in Delaware
Sorry Annie, there is so much of that scamming happening. Too bad people that pull these scams couldn’t use their knowledge for good. Stick to your guns don’t cave on sending money.2 -
We gave ourselves a treat for lunch. We went to Subway & each ordered our favorite sandwich. YUM! We brought them home to eat. Staying in an eating place for a sit down meal is not allowed for now.
Before that we went to the service station and had two propane canisters filled. We are all set to grill our food outside for the next long while. Simple pleasures.5 -
Sharon ... you've received good suggestions! My only (OCD) advice is to straighten that picture by the door first! Everything else can wait ...
Lisa ... love the housekeeping meme! As for punctuation ... the "new" style they're teaching on the college level puts the question mark outside of the quotation marks. I would proofread my son's papers and he would get marked for incorrect use of quotation marks. I'm with you though.
Thanks all for the comments on the flowers. I'm going to contact the vendor. They weren't what I ordered.

I put mine on the outside, I don’t remember what I was taught in school, but I’m pretty sure that’s how I was taught when I took a business communications course. So many rules change that not everyone is aware of so I feel like I can’t please everyone.

Katla - 8th grade girls! I would never want to go back to that period of my life ever. You had to have remarkable patience to teach that grade.
Flea- I agree, I love listening to music while I clean.

Cleaning habits - my Mom has the whitest laundry and the cleanest floors, but there were layers upon layers of dust and clutter everywhere. She never threw anything out. An example: in 1997 when we moved to Alberta I gave my Mom my Tupperware spice set as it was too hard to move and still had usable spices. When my brother and I cleaned my Moms house in 2015 we threw those spices out. They had never been touched.
I don’t know if it was survival or part of my Virgo personality but I kept my room tidy organized and clean as the clutter drive me crazy!
My daughters are opposites my eldest is like my Mom she gets overwhelmed and can’t handle it, my youngest is just like me. When the girls were young it would be nothing for me to put Kaitlyn (youngest) to bed and Her room be a bit untidy. When I woke up in the morning the whole room could be spotless.
I quit doing their laundry when they were 10 and 8, I would wash it, dry it, fold it, place it on their bed to put away and the next week I would have folded laundry in my dirty clothes. I told them one week that if I found one more piece of folded laundry in the dirty clothes again I would never do their laundry again. The next week there was a folded piece, I put all of their stuff to the side and left it in the basement. Made almost the whole week before I got a call at work from Kaitlyn asking where her clean panties were. I felt bad as she was the 8 year old and it was the 10 year old that had put folded laundry in the basement, but I stuck to my guns and never did their laundry again.
I never did get Lauryn cleaning her room well, in 2005 we had a house fire and the fire chief even told her her untidy room was a hazard. That didn’t work either. 😂

Machka - hugs to you. I feel a lot of us are going to end up with PTSD from this.

Went in the pool. Vince is at the dermatologist right now for his routine appt. I don’t know if he wants to tell Jess about his appts Thursday and Friday. She’s such a worry-wort. But then again, if he didn’t say anything and it was positive, she’d be upset. Well, I’m just going to ask him and go along with whatever he decides is best. Update: he doesn't want to unless she's home from work (which I doubt since she was just gone for two weeks)
He did say that he wanted to go to WalMart to get picture frames and some other things and then go to Lowes Hardware
Sharon – You’ve heard this before but I really believe it to be true. You do get used to the weather. The people in Arkansas are probably used to their weather. I know when we first moved to NC from PA, it took a few years before I was accustomed to the heat. I stayed in the a/c all the time. Now I have no problem with the heat. I just don’t like humidity, but we’re too far inland to get much
Just saw that the pool water is 90
Faye – my MIL didn’t have a serger but what she used to do is zig zag the cut parts of the fabric
Heather – let me add (about the sanding guy) if someone can’t come when they say they will, at least inform the person that they won’t be there and possibly when they will be there.
Karen - Boy, how Olivia has grown!
Went to WalMart. Then we were going to go to Michael’s to see about a picture frame (WM didn’t have the size) but they’re closing earlier now so we just came home. A lot of stores see to be closing earlier. Guess they’re saving money but not paying a worker trying to recoup what they lost when they were closed. Well, some stores…Michael’s was always open.
PLEASE…I implore you…when replying, PLEASE delete the parts that you aren’t replying to. PLEASE Many times it is just so hard to figure out what you are referring to. Thanks

Snowflake: The school district where I worked had a reorganization due to an economic challenge. Changing from an elementary teacher to 8th grade was a huge transition for me. I’d been an elementary teacher for years. Luckily, I was dropped into a team of helpful teachers who taught me the system and gave practical help coping with 8th graders. I started out teaching Englsih and Social Studies, and later I just taught Social Studies. All American history, all the time. I ended up enjoying the topic and the kids.
Yesterday we took our dog to the veterinarian. Our dog has cancer, and we’re working on keeping him pain free and happy. He has a tumor in/on his backside. He is getting pain meds, plus hydrocortisone cream rubbed on the lesion at least twice daily, and loving care. He seems to be doing well at this time. Because of his age and health, surgery was not an option. He is 13 years old, and we’re keeping him happy and comfortable as long as we can. He still loves to go for walks and we have pleasant routes that we all enjoy.

Katla ((hugs)) to you, your DH and especially Schooner.
Machka hope those tears were a healing relief. With all you’ve been through the past two years, compounded by your recent surgery, your body probably needed a good cry. Give Rhody a hug for me.
Faye math’s not my strongest suit but do you add coffee after drinking the first half or just water for the next 10 drinks? Would be pretty thin by then If you never add any coffee after the first load, they aren’t you just drinking one cup of coffee and 9 cups of water? Thanks for the melon review, think I’ll wait another month.
Allie Still no luck with Triple A and the new driver’s license?
Rebecca I can understand that once you’d gone “au naturel,” all those layers of Renaissance garb would lose their appeal Oh noo, Athena Rose is growing up so fast!
Welcome @mistyangela81!
Heather glad you were strong enough to complete the procedure despite his pleas. Waves of healing and comfort to you both.
Karen Olivia! How that miracle baby has grown, and with ‘tude!
Lighter, lovelies!

Last time it was cured in one session. Let's hope for the same result. Anyone who doesn't know what I am talking about, look up BBPV. He said it was like being on a whirlygig at 100 miles per hour.

That doesn't sound right.
Are you sure you don't want to take him to a professional?
I've watched professionals do the Epley manoeuvre on my husband for diagnosed BPPV, and even though he feels very "swirly", there was no shrieking in terror and begging for mercy. It's a very slow, gentle manoeuvre and he feels good when it is finished.
His main therapist has identified issues in addition to the BPPV which are treated with similar but slightly different manoeuvres.
But half an hour later, he'll walk out feeling great!

All our babies, so grown up! Athena!
Faye - I will see how he is today. It was the bang on the head that must have shifted some crystals. Before that he was fine for years since I did the Manoeuvre the last time. I'm hoping this has cured it. His balance is normally fine. In fact it was improving as he was doing balance exercises every day. His fall was from a different issue.
Katla - The towel was purely to keep him from putting his head down. You are supposed to keep it level after the Epley Manoeuvre and it's very easy to forget! He wasn't in pain at all. Sharon - What I hope he was thinking was, " I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful wife. What a gem! I really must pay for a new phone for her."
At least his current problems have taken his mind off his back pain! But he is not impressed with getting old. This is the first year he has noticed his age. Before he was super fit. I've told him that a positive side to this is that he will have more sympathy with the afflicted. He really couldn't understand other people's physical limitations or pains at all.
Zoom day today with my girlfriends.
Want to see the grandchildren. I hate having to ask all the time, but I know they have their own busy lives. The summer holidays are a bit of a juggling act. The new au pair from Spain was due in 3 weeks, but the government is now asking for 14 days quarantine, so I don't know what will happen. Because we don't see them often with the virus, I don't know their schedules any more. Haven't really had a decent chat with my son for months. I know the kids are supposed to be having a week going to a summer day activity school. My son can only take 2 weeks off work. DDIL is taking 3. Of course, we can't help out as we are still distancing.
I do know they are getting a labradoodle puppy in September.

Morning Reverie
(6.50am Wednesday 29 July)
Contemplate the day ahead.
Allow the heart to lift.
Accept each moment mindfully.
Celebrate its gift.
Make time to let the spirit soar.
Aspire to reach the heights.
Let joy explode within your soul.
Enjoy the pure delights.
When evening shadows lengthen,
and honest contentment flows,
relax and let the body rest.
Welcome the repose.
(C) 2020 - Terri Richardson
Off out to do my weekly grocery shop in the tranquility of Senior Hour.
🙏🏻 May your day be filled with wonder. 🙏🏻

Katla I started a comment about your doggie a couple of times but I am not sure I ever got it posted. I am sorry about your dog's cancer. You know there are plenty of sympathetic ears here. Talk about it as much as you want to.

You are really good at the Epley Maneuver! You really do have to put aside your compassion and just stay the course. So glad it worked AGAIN for Johnny! You are a champ.
The inner ear reminds me of one of these. Well, really two of them, mirror images of each other, one on each side of the brain. A bit of work figuring out which one is the problem and getting everything back in place:
