Evening ladies
Yes i went in with an open mind.. the view is spectacular, but like i said to much rhat i would want done and dont want to spend anymore than i need to.
Yes I am paid out if trust,and what i do is give them the amount the check is in cash and have them deposit the cash and i then cash the check and stick it in an envelope ,for emergencies ... like Barbie and now Heather I lost a dear friend in Florida..her birthday was the 26th ended up in ICU and passed last night..Tom and I used to hang out in the pool with her and a few others and i used to go to bingo and hang out with her.. she will be missed dearly...
I am settled with my decision to stay here,its ok and im not upset or angry it just wasnt the right thing for me at this time...3 -
sending hugs to all who have lost friends, it is always sad.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Allie.0

Rode the recumbent bike. The plan for tomorrow is to do a body pump video
Cut up the cake for bowling tomorrow and it’s now back in the freezer. Now I know that it’s so heavy that I should take it out of the freezer at least 2 hours before bowling.
Looks like it’s going to be a nice day so I’ll probably go in the pool later Update: did go in, it started to rain but now the sun is out
KJ – I kept my starter in a glass jar first on top of my refrigerator then in my pantry. Nothing. I can’t help wondering if that recipe had too high a hydration. Evidently, it was a 1-1-2 so now I’m trying a 1-1-1. This recipe has the exact amount of starter, flour, and water to add. I’m trying just keeping a paper towel over it. I have to admit, I’m patient but I was getting frustrated. I even tried proofing it yesterday, nothing. I have a proof setting on my oven so I used that, but still absolutely nothing. How old is the oldest kiddo in your daycare?
They were calling for heavy rain yesterday. Since it didn’t happen, I thought it might happen today. Sun is out. Where is this rain?
Dr Katie – happy anniversary
Pete is supposed to go to the MD Tuesday. I do hope we are able to go to DE Labor Day weekend. Otherwise, we might not see PJ until next May. That’ll be 2 years since we’ve seen him.
SuziQ – I can’t remember the name of the show, but do you remember a TV show where they had kids doing jail time for computer issues working for the CIA and hacking criminals computers? I thought it was very interesting.
Rita – I never thought of a cell phone holder! Wonder if the one I have that I was about to give away will work? See, I just want to make my starter with flour and water – as natural as possible.
Allie – I think you made the right decision. It does seem like there’s a lot of work (translation: expense) at this place. Might be good for a starter home, but you don’t need a starter home. Sorry to hear about your friend
Heather – so sorry about your friend
When I’m wearing my mask for extended periods of time (like when I’m at Food Lion), I find that I need something to “wet my whistle” so I’ve started keeping some of these soft mints with me. I’ll go in the break room and pop one in my mouth
Beth – I’ve watched so many uTube videos about sourdough it isn’t even funny. Some tell you never to use metal, others use a metal dish. Go figure! Sorry about your temp. crown falling off. Does the tooth hurt?
Off to take a shower.

My brother left a message today.He said there is a change in plan. Now because he is on the reunion committee for his high school reunion he and his wife now can only spare a few hours for us on their National Park Tour because they have to get back so he can be part of the planning. They are planning an out door picnic. Our service for our son was an outdoor service with everyone wearing masks. It is like he failed to read my letter. To top it off it is our son's birthday today. No mention of that. Again they are stopping after visiting at least three state parks. DH has cancer and is on chemo. I will Facebook him and just say NO maybe he will understand that. These parks are a further distance to drive than the drive here yet one month ago they could not come here to son's service because of COVID. To my knowledge the danger of COVID has not changed.
I just wrote him on Facebook and just said now is not a good time to visit try again in the spring. I did mention it was our son's birthday. DH, DS, and I had a barb-a-cue at his house in memory of him. I also went to his church today because I had donations for his church. It wasn't easy, but I am glad I went.
I am too angry to talk to my brother. I don't think he gets how much his actions hurt me.9 -
Margaret - I’m so terribly sorry your Brother is causing you to hurt at a time you don’t need it.2

{{{Margaret}}}
Michele ... yes, the tooth is very sensitive... but my appointment will soon be here
Allie ... sorry to hear of your friend’s passing...
Beth ...who ate too many soft peanut butter cookies today2 -
margaret - ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) some times people are so self centered they are clueless/mean and don't understand. That is never an excuse.

Faye “too cold for too long” exactly! Southern Oregon coast’s weather is ideal for us, but the 3+ hour drive inland for medical services… not so much ;{ Does your post mean today is your 70th birthday? If so, felicitations!
SuziQ Outdoor orchids
Allie I’m relieved you decided to stay. Thought the lack of yard for Alfie would be a problem in the winter. Please please listen to Lanette and Okie’s advice. Now might be the time to start having self-employment and income tax withheld to avoid trouble later. Don't give Jean another chance to hurt you.
Rita that poncho. Wow!
Katla did you ever read any of the Comte St. Germain vampire novels by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro?
Heather In the midst of life, shocking reminder. ((hugs))
Kay con VERY gratulations on 49th anniversary. Well done!
Lisa “Pop ‘em”
Rebecca what Happy Birthday news for your Chief! is Athena modeling her French period? She looks so baby Bardot!
Tracey what are “puck lights”? “ ISO . . . personal trainer”
Welcome @amymh41, hope to see you next month.
Lanette “…had some news about the ole workplace .... I am super glad to be retired.” Amen, sister AMEN!
Pip Yogi’s pup treats look yummy to me! Hope that isn’t a raisin I see tho’, they can be toxic to our dogs.
Margaret my heart goes out to you. Brava for your simple, truthful “No. Now is not a good time to come.” Perhaps in the spring when your wounds have scarred over a bit, you can have a calm, honest conversation with him about how he hurt you. . . if he’ll listen. ((hugs))
Meant to just clear away dead naked lady foliage, ended up digging up the bulbs. They’ve never bloomed, perhaps because they were totally shaded by a rhodie? Before I start digging holes elswere to transplant, can anyone tell me what light and/or amendments they need in order to bloom? Did get the species fuschia I bought TWO years ago into the ground at last. Pics tomorrow.
Lighter, lovelies!

Allie: I think you’ve made some good choices. I’m sorry about the loss of your friend in Florida. :flowerforyou:
(((Margaret))): I think going to your son’s church with donations was exceptional. You are an admirable woman.
I agree with Snowflake. I am sorry that your brother is causing you to hurt.

Top o' the morning to y'all. The storms have passed through and we are having a few settled days. Life has acquired a new rhythm and currently, all is well in my life. The day is full of opportunities.
Margaret: (((hugs))) What a lovely way to honour your son's memory with your close family. So sorry that your brother is being insensitive. I have zero expectations of my brother and he seldom disappoints me. SnL rules the roost, and he is welcome to her. We exchange Christmas cards. I send him birthday greetings but nadah from him.
Rebecca: 😍Athena!
Rita: 💖 The poncho. Colours are fab!
I celebrate your achievements 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊
(((Hugs))) to those who are in pain or feeling sorrow 💕💖💕
Thank you for allowing me to share a small part of your lives. I appreciate it immensely.
Looking forward to sharing September with you.

Aren't there restrictions on being with people where you are? Especially if you're a carer of an elderly person.

Allie - you seem peaceful about your decision, which makes me glad, and I'm so sorry about your friend.
Margaret - I'm so sorry your brother is being clueless and awful. Like Terri, I expect nothing of any of my living brothers, and that's pretty much what I get. I'm glad you were able to honor your son's birthday, and donations to his church are a wonderful thing, as well.
Machka - loved your meme - the one I read this morning said, "It’s 2020 and we’re all likely in a computer simulation run by a sadistic toddler."
Carol - the fact that you put the mask back on your nose when you see people is much more than most of these people that I'm talking about do. Perhaps one of the mask inserts that someone was talking about yesterday, to keep them off your nose and mouth, would help? My husband's nose completely plugs the moment he puts on a mask as well, including the paper masks.
Thunder bumbling outside and the rain just set in - supposed to rain for another four hours. Don't think I'll be working outside today unless I want to slop around in the mud.
Goals accomplishment for August.
My goals for August were:
👍Survive without getting cooties.
So far so good!
👍Stay within budget.
Moved to a monthly budget for August, and went $8 over. Pretty pleased with that performance.
👍Be lighter going out than I am going in.
On August 1, I was at 208, August 31, I was at 194. Pleased with that.
Goals for September will be in tomorrow's thread, but basically:
🚪 Continue to survive the pandemic.
💲 Stay within budget.
⚖ Be lighter going out than I am going in.
If I don't stop in later (I probably will), I'll see you in the September thread!
Love,
Lisa in AR

Machka- i take care of Jeans mom,and Jean has taken every weekend this whole summer to go up north to either the beach house or lake house.she works in a hospital as a cytotechnologist .and the beach house is big and we do hang out but distance ourselves..
Labor day weekend was big back in the day as it was my grandmother and my brothers birthday and we used to have big family parties,this would only be my nephew and his girlfriend,my brother Jean and maybe Shanes 1/2 brother
I would like an answer from Jean why she knows i want to spend time with family and she rips that out from under me ,because she can.. just sad...1 -
Barbara Not my birthday until Nov. After I turned 69 I have said I am on my 70th trip around the sun. It is confusing like the year 1999 was in the 20th century and the year 2000 is in the 21st century. Yes, the long drive is what discouraged me a few years ago and also no friends there and I only drive on back roads and low traffic areas.
Margaret I never had a brother but my best friend had to cut off relations with both her brothers for the same kind of actions as you speak. I don't understand how siblings can treat each other with disrespect.
PIP Love the photo!
M in Oz That is about it for 2020. A wrongs B so C burns down D's house. E lives in fear wondering what the F is next.

I only have one brother,and no other siblings
Jean had one brother that passed away leaving 2 very young children,the other is real bad news to smart for his own good and has used and abused the family to where they have a restraining order against him..
Jean is the oldest as am I, but I dont treat people the way she does thats for sure..
Im over at Toms getting Homer to take up with me..he basically just chills out and sleeps while he is up there.1 -

Allie - Sorry, I missed something. Are you banned from going to the house where the rest of the family will be? Why aren’t you going to be with family for Labor Day weekend if it’s safe and that’s what you want to do?
Margaret - I have 2 brothers, and like other women here, I have no expectations of them. If one of them wanted to visit when he wasn’t welcome, I would make it a very clear “no", because neither of them would get it if I hinted.

Karen I agree I also sent message to his wife I think she might get it. If not I will move on and fill my life with those who are more sensitive.4
