...Son had competency hearing Monday and final hearing today so should be hearing about that sometime today. RvRita
Rita - Hope your husband's colonoscopy comes up clean and your son's hearing goes well. Depression can be awfully hard to shake. Are you getting some help for that? I hope so.Our daughter also wants to discuss me. 😕
Katla - I know it's hard to hear, but I'm so glad your daughter is stepping up for your health, as well as your husband's.
Barbara AHMOD - Congratulations on the 3+ pounds! So many commiserations on the knee stuff.
KJ - Congratulations on your loss, too! Sounds like a busy weekend...
Pip - SO glad, doesn't sound like the news could have been any better! Bet Kirby's a happy guy...
Rebecca - Hope the rest does you right up.
Beth - So pleased your news was good, and so sorry about your mom. Please keep us posted...
My best friend and I were both trying to talk each other out of our respective trees today. Typed out long explanations for both, and bluntly, not even worth it. We're both still hanging on to the lowest limb, anyway. Mine is just same caca, different day.
The morning's loopiness was disturbing enough that I still don't feel I should be driving. Hoping tomorrow it won't be so bad. No worries - I can wait until the weekend if I must and have Corey drive me, just feeling a little housebound.
Later, y'all,
Love,

PIP ~ So happy about your news!2

Well I died for 1.5 hours, hard! I guess I needed it. Having coffee the way I like it, (not fasted black), and a knockoff brand of a blueberry poptart. I like the cheaper kind better! So essentially sugar and caffeine yay!
Yay Pip, I am so happy, and relieved!
Glad you love my cast iron pans, Nancutler! I do too! I bought them last summer, and they are really quite easy to maintain. I scrub them every so often with Kosher salt and the chain mail scrub Lodge sells. But other than that no worries. I use this one 12" and I have a 17" too. I have lids (kind of) from my old pans, but they are still a wee bit small and so I just balance 2 wooden spoons and perch the lids. I have priced the lids and they're like $25! So making due presently! I love making frittata's! Its like refrigerator soup for egg lovers!
Hugs ladies!
Rebecca

Wow Pip! Hip, hip hooray!
I had a feeling that would be the case, but it's great to have it confirmed.
So many friends on here with worries and troubles.
I feel rather overwhelmed. Beth, Katla, Karen, Lisa, Kay, and so many others, Barbara, Barbie, Lanette, Flea, oh, I simply can't remember. I read and feel a pang for all of you. ❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
Please forgive me if I haven't mentioned you. I care.
Watched Knives Out thus evening. Daniel Craig's accent was about the worst I've ever heard since Nicholas Cage in Captain Corelli's Mandolin. A good romp though.
Love to all, and may all things be well. That is my wish for you.

Pip,
Nanacutler, Years ago, my mom had wanted this truly beautiful DR furniture forever, and finally she & Dad splurged on it. A year later Dad was dead and Mom decided to downsize. I felt so bad for her about selling the furniture, but it turned out she didn't feel bad about it at all! She said she had owned that furniture, she had enjoyed it, and she didn't need it anymore. I try to remember that - the things my mother and grandmother owned and loved?...they had those things, and they enjoyed them, and I have enjoyed some of them, too...but none of us need or want them anymore. Grandma & Mom are both dead, and I need to put my house in order to liberate my energy. My mother would let things go if she was alive - so I can let them go, too. I am a sentimental fool, but my experience with my mother's sewing table made me realize that if I am holding on to items only out of nostalgia or especially out of guilt, they are burdensome rather than sparking joy. Mom (in heaven) gives me permission to get rid of ANYTHING.
Karen in Virginia, thrilled for PIP12 -
Karen - Would it help to take photos and write something about the object? Say something about why it is important to you? It could become a book about your family history.

Heather, A very helpful idea for certain items! Now that I think of it, taking photos of my mother's sewing table and writing the little blurb for the community Buy Nothing group was part of the "letting go" process, very similar to what you are suggesting!
Some of the nicer small items I have taken to a consignment shop for vintage collectibles - it helps to think that they will be purchased by someone who will treasure them.
But most of the stuff just needs to be pitched, or donated in a more pedestrian way, like a thrift shop or Freecycle.
My kids don't want anything.
Last spring the Buy Nothing Facebook group for the neighborhood we currently live in did a subdivision yard "sale" where everything was free. Oodles of people, big success! I found out about it too late to participate, but if they do it again this year I will probably put stuff out.

Pip, to everyone thinking about decluttering. It took me years to deal with all the stuff plus reading books on the subject and listening to more than 100 podcasts by The Minimalists Barbie in NW WA 3

Pip: Hooray!
I’m slowly letting go of family ‘heirlooms’.
Clearing space is liberating.
Cheers and (((hugs))) in equal measures.

Pip- Yipeee im so happy for you!!! Take it easy and dont rush into things..
Tracy,Carmine and I all went and got our hair done today feel better and got my new phone set up...6 -
I've never done this, measure myself, in the beginning. This time I'm doing things differently!4

Pip ! Such good news! I refreshed my MFP so many times today waiting to hear your news.....
Rest in Peace Madeleine Albright

Pip, I'm doing the happy dance for you too!
Katla, glad to hear that your daughter is there to make sure you get looked after too. Hope you all got some answers about hubby.
Allie, happy to hear that Carmine seems to be settling down, hope that continues! Sorry to hear about Miles and his colic, my first one was like that, had a really cranky time for a few hours every night, but it didn't last (thank heavens!). You have definitely gotten some good advice from others here, hopefully something will work. My only suggestion would be to remind you that what worked yesterday might not work today, but what didn't work yesterday might work today! Babies are complicated creatures, I guess that's why they come out so cute! lol
Lisa, sorry to hear that you are feeling loopy, do hope it goes away soon! Kelsey's soon to be ex is sure a piece of work, hope she has a good lawyer!
Machka, love the dry stream! I've seen stuff like that before, didn't know what it was called, but it really is pleasing to the eye.
Heather, sorry to hear that you have ill family members, hope they are better soon.
Beth, sorry to hear about your mom's trials and tribulations!
Lots of others I wanted to comment on, but my memory is failing me once again! I'm at work so have to make this short anyway, so I guess it's just as well! lol
As always, congrats to those celebrating, hugs for those needing them and welcome to the newbies!

Pip—❤️. I am happy that you have good news. Your update is great. It is wonderful that there were no signs of cancer. ❤️1

Worked today. Tomorrow I’m going to TRY to get to the gym and do a body pump DVD.
Later today I have an appt with a physicians assistant for the pain in my leg. More and more I’m convinced it’s sciatica. The pain starts in my backside and radiates down the leg. I’ve been using the voltaran. It just gets me from excruciating pain to pain. I know when I had sciatica on the other side I was convinced I needed hip replacement, but the MD just prescribed prednisone for me and inside of 3 days I was getting relief. Hopefully, this PA will do the same. Next I would probably try Aleve, but I think this is probably the faster route.
Beth – how wonderful you’re progressing so much. Sorry to hear about your mother.
Today Jerry got some sort of pin from BK. I think he needs something like that. See, I don’t need so much a visual but I think he does. I just said to him “that’s wonderful. See, all your hard work has paid off”. He did refer to me when I took him home today as his friend. He told me how he tries to help out his friends.
FINALLY replaced my windshield yesterday. Fortunately, it rained today so I could easily tell if it was leaking or not.
Stopped at Food Lion yesterday on my way home from work. Got Vince gatorade and they had cabbage on sale for 59 cents/pound so I got 2 heads. I’ll probably make some soup with at least one head, I’m going to try to look for ideas for the other head. Also got Easter cards at the dollar store for Jess and Denise. Got one down in FL for PJ, cost me all of 12 cents. Like he’s going to know! If you buy 2 things of Gatorade, you get $2 off. So even tho FL is usually more expensive, with the $2 off it's worth it
Allie – none of my kids had colic, but I’ve always heard that if you put a colicky baby in a car and drive around the block, that puts it to sleep. Loved KJ’s hints. Never thought of the washer, but that makes sense.
Tracey – I hope you get the pictures. Pictures mean so much
M – that apple pie loos just delish. I can just taste it here
Lucy – welcome! You don’t HAVE to give your location, it’s just that if we have a few people with the same name, it helps to keep people straight. But I don’t think we have another Lucy so you’re OK.
Nanacutler – Love the elk. What a wonderful thing to see in the morning
Julie – yea for negative tests!
I’m someone who likes to clean things out and if I don’t use them or haven’t used them in a while, I’d donate or somehow get rid of it. Now Vince – he saves just about anything “in case”
When Covid hit, I cleaned EVERYTHING. I even cleaned the top of my freezer!!! Much to Vince’s dismay, I pulled everything out of the closets and went thru so much. I had so much to recycle, that I had to take it to the recycling place, too much for our recycling bin!
Rori – good to hear from you. You get to see a lot of interesting plays. So happy for you
pip and katla – you are both in my thoughts

Thank you! @exermom
