    OMGosh... Lisa, I had to give you a hug after reading your spoiler.
    Your kitty wanted to make me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Glad you have her!!!
    Our oldest daughter, Lacy, is going through some of those terrible experiences right now. Although she has one child, from her first marriage which ended tragically in a horrific car accident (after only 28 days!), she desperately wants a child with her second husband. He's being wonderful about it. But they've recently found out (we all have) that she actually only has one fully-functional ovary. The other one just doesn't produce as well. Go figure. So they saved up and tried IVF. Didn't work AT ALL. She's devastated! Nick is still being completely supportive. They're foster parents and that's helping, but ...

    Turning out to be a SPLENDID day in MN! Gonna open them windows WIDE and enjoy my view while working!

    Carla OUT!

    50th HS reunion this weekend! I don’t feel that old.

    I hope you have a wonderful time. I love reunions- I am in charge of my class. Just had a combination class(our reunion was canceled because of covid so the next class added us in so we worked together, then they added two more classs-it was a lot of fun but our next one will be just the two classes I think.

    Having Facebook has really helped reconnect with classmates but also, you get to see what they look like now and not be totally shocked at how much they have changed in 40-50 yrs ;)

    One of my lamp bulbs went out in my sofa side lamp. The cheap lamp is 16 years old, so I've been thinking of getting a new standard lamp. Not quite ready to spend out just yet. So I ordered new bulbs and this afternoon found bulbs in the bulb drawer! Silly me! Managed to cancel the order. The new one is much brighter!
    DH is very happy with his new, improved, sitting position, with his extra cushion, but we will have to go and look at chairs soon. I don't want it to look like an old person's chair. :o Lots on line, but I think he needs to sit in it. He has very long legs.

    Watching lots of programmes about DNA tracing. I'm still wishing DH would do it to find his father. He is resistant. :# If it were me .........

    DDIL'S comment on their holiday venue - "it's bliss!" :p Happy for them. Grrr!

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Annie If bad storm coming tell him you have a friend who has $2000 in hail damage to her car and it barely shows. Fortunately I have comprehensive with $100 deductible. Still hassle to get fixed and won't be done til October.

    Wow. MFP changed the interface without breaking the forums! I think I might like it the new way, once I get used to it.

    Worked, came home and changed for the gym, went to the post office, to a friend of mine to give coupons and some cake, soup kitchen, gym, Salvation Army, now home. Made 2 batches of rice krispie bars to take to Denise for us to have at the hotel. Also made more chocolate bran muffins.

    Jerry wanted me to wait for him. He is usually at BK around 6:30-7, but today he came in later. I was told that if he works in the evening he doesn't want to work in the morning. I was also told (and this I know because we're always stopping so he can buy beer) that he drinks a lot. So my guess is that if he works at night, he goes home and gets plastered. He doesn't want to work the next morning so that he can sleep it off. Anyway, if he thinks I'm going to wait around while he finishes his work...not gonna happen. Maybe he should come in earlier. Or maybe not drink (but I know that won't happen)

    After dinner Vince wants to go to Lowe’s Hardware to get pool salt and muriatic acid. We had a lot of rain yesterday so the pool lost a lot of chlorine. Update: we got 160lbs of salt and 2 gallons of acid. When we took it out of my trunk, you could almost hear the shock absorbers breathing a sigh of relief

    Katla – good thoughts being sent to your dh

    Julie – great for you using those techniques!

    M – you are required to mow your lawn because of snakes? You can keep them, thank you very much

    Karen – You’re as old as you feel. And if you feel 39, that’s how old you are. I don’t know if I’ll have a reunion since the school is no longer there. Have fun at your reunion

    Carla – my heart goes out to Lacy

    I've never been to a reunion. I had just moved to Australia when my class has their 25th. Later, some of my cousins put on a big extended family reunion, but I think that was in the year of my husband's accident and we couldn't go.

    Snakes like long grass. We're encouraged to keep our yards fairly trim, especially if people might be walking up a footpath or something.

    Tiger snakes are fairly common right around here.

    Tasmania has three species of land snake:
    Tiger snake, Notechis scutatus
    Lowland Copperhead, Austrelaps superbus
    White-lipped snake, Drysdalia coronoides

    Machka — Snakes are not animals that I like. I certainly don’t want to be surprised by one. I like animals with hair, legs, feathers and/or fins.

    Hi 👋 everyone. Hope you are all ready to have a super weekend, in your own way, of course.

    Annie: Hoping your dad is really OK. (((Hugs)))
    Julie: 🙋‍♀️
    Lisa: I love Pottery Throwdown, and the Sewing Bee. Does watchingI three or four episodes of old series on BBC iPlayer count as binge watching? 🤔 I watched the first four episodes of Heroes a few days ago, as it’s coming back on our screens. It helps me remember what the plots were.😝
    Machka: 🐍 Very little chance of 🐍 in the long grass in Ireland. 😂 Reclutter graphic. Don’t need a book for that one! It seems to happen all on it’s own.

    When we got our own home and had children, I planned to stay at home. It took about 6 weeks after the youngest went to school for me to start climbing the walls and looking for something more appealing. Tried a few things before deciding to go back to school and become a teacher. It was a great decision for me. It also meant that I got to spend school holidays with my girls, and still got paid.
