He really needs help. He exacerbates the situation. Maybe instead of being so volatile and petty with his “I’ll show you” attitude he could show some love.

Lanette on the other hand, my dog walking friend sold their SUV right after her husband died and bought a lime green Prius then about a year later drove past a car dealer where she spotted a red car and bought it on the spot and hasn't regretted it. She has a limited income. We all approach this car buying in our unique ways
She said there were benefits to car buying alone without having to negotiate or compromise with a partner2 -
Hello ladies!
Heather welcome home!
For my next project, I have to take my mom to see a dentist. She doesn't want to go, of course, but she hasn't been in years, and she has a loose tooth. So far I have called my dad's old dentist and not heard back.
I spoke to my sister today, and she agreed that my dad's getting fuzzier. Not remembering things, etc. I'm not sure what to do about it, though. He is much harder to manage than my mom.
I have horseback riding today, but it is too hot to be much fun. And then maybe soup and ham for dinner. And then bike and dumbbells.
Have a great day my friends!

Back home. The last three days in Mexico were hectic. We didn't achieve all we had hoped, but we misjudged how long border crossing and travel would take. Still wonderful. Here are the guys at Chichen Itza. They are still excavating, so it was fun to watch a little of that process.
And I lost 3 pounds! Even with the increased alcohol consumption. Eating ceviche and walking 10,000-12,000 steps a day didn't hurt, nor did the snorkeling. Oh, and no access to chai lattes! Lol

Tracey— I have hummingbirds at my feeder several times a day between early morning and the beginning of dusk. My feeder has three perches but I’ve only seen one bird at a time at the feeder. ⭐️

I woke up today feeling awful. Sinus pressure, head and neck aches. Took sinus meds, but wasn't too up for our weekly grocery shopping run. I mentioned I was dealing with a sinus headache to husband, but didn't make an issue out of it. Of course on the way he decides to get the cat washed so we're in line for that. Meanwhile, I am wishing to use a bathroom because its "that time" for my morning constitutional. So watching the car get washed and "putting my body in a holding pattern" was a treat. 😒😳.
Bought some great looking beef steak tomatoes, some peppered turkey, and garden herb cream cheese. I shall have all that on an Everything bagel.🤗💖. Also bought some cabbage so will make Cole slaw this week. I bought some cubed ham and will make a soup with white beans, some carrots and baby potatoes.
I had nice long video chat with eldest sister today, and she had talked to me about her call to our middle sister yesterday and how that went. We both agree that her past (and most likely current) drug use has affected her memory. She is non trusting and overly judges my sister. With my eldest sister asking her if she had a family genealogy book stashed somewhere isn't implying that she was accusing her of keeping items from her. So middle sister puts extra emotions of mistrust onto anything that my eldest sister posts. My eldest sister told her that needs to stop. Don't put extra feelings into things that aren't hers. Proud of my eldest sister to "lay it out on the table" like that. Hopefully my middle sister will take heed to what she said. My.eldest sister is still going through her estate sale stuff. Stuff she puts aside for her kids, stuff she wants, and stuff her husbands kids wanted. I told her to pace herself. Drink lots of water. Let her estate planner gal organize it when she brings 6 more tables. She needs to just go table by table and be done with it. Her present rule is for all of the items she wants, she needs to remove stuff from the house to warrant bringing it in. That's a good rule. I wish I was her neighbor, so I could help her, yet go home at the end of each day.
She told me her little orange cat Hansel must've gotten into a scrub with some white haired animal. She heard his "meow/screams," and then she ran outside to her carport seating area to find him saucer eyed! He ran into the house and under her bed. The next day she was in the carport and saw bits of his fur and something with white fur, here and there. Poor thing! Being a country cat can be loads of trauma! Sister thinks it might have been a raccoon, or an opossum, (or do you just say a possum)?
To any or you struggling, hugs!
My son sent some water play photos.
Its hot where they live!

I hope Destiny's family is able to find peace.
Katla-the Canadian fires really have nothing to do with the humidity-it's just part of summer in this part of the country.
Annie-sorry to hear your father is showing signs of decline. I forget-how old are your parents?
Lisa-you make a very good point that once we get the bad out, we can focus on the good. I think it is very important we find a way to not continue to sit and simmer in our own S**t.
Allie-my heart breaks for you. Somewhere along the line Carmine learned her behavior is ok. And Kyle is the adult.
Tracey-looking for a new job seems to be the best plan.
Heather-your yard looks great!
Lanette-make your list-you will know your answer.
Flea-nice picture.
Pip-broken bike seats are not fun!
Rebecca-love the pictures!
Not much new here. Had some decent rain-quite heavy at times. Yard man was able to mow before it hit so yard looks very nice right now.
Think last of time change is hitting-3 hour difference is not fun for me. Think I am crashing earlier than usual. Working from home tomorrow so good way to end week.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

Carol – in this heat, it really doesn’t bother me to put a wet bathing suit on. Today I’m thinking that I’ll go in the pool, wear my work shorts and a coverup, go for my walk, and then I bet I’ll be sweaty so I’ll go back in the pool. Like you, I am having a hard time finding something on TV that I’m interested in. There are so many of the “reality” shows and, to me, they are false many times. However, I do like “America’s Worst Cooks” because many times you get good hints
Off to the pool,
Michele NC[/quote]
Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea- is amazing- if you like cinnamon, you will really like it-think Red hots or Fire Ball Whiskey-
I have gotten so many people hooked on it.
haha- reading your post reminded me of the summers when we had swimming lessons at the river right after summer school. Many days we were putting our bathing suits on in the car on the drive to it because we didn't have time to change at the beach without being late. Many times they were wet from the day before. I HATED that- remember crying every time. over 55 yrs later, still remember it.
I have always been super picky about how clothes feel on me. Those and polyester sweaters are the absolute WORST thing for me, oh, and wool and tags in clothes.....
Still super picky. Tags are removed, sweaters I wear a cotton shirt under IF I wear a sweater.

I didn't watch TV at all when I was growing up. The first time I had a TV was in 1970 in a rural town with two network stations and PBS. As I've aged and TV has changed I've watched more. For years I had the TV on as company while I did chores. I often listen more than watch. Now I watch TV while riding my exercise bike. We don't cable or broadcast TV just a few streaming stations. On my own I watch a lot of YouTube videos of favorite music or travel to interesting places. There's no way I would climb mountains or hike the Appalachian Trail, but I love to watch videos of other people's adventures. I ride my exercise and knit while I watch I don't just sit on the couch.Heather and Flea, Glad you are safely home. Thank you for all the pictures and stories of your adventures.Tracey, your new job is out there getting ready for you. You just don't know it yet.

Actually, it did have a ton of miles. I’ve had that bike since 2014 and that was the saddle when I bought the bike.2 -
Heather and Flea: Glad you are home! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
The weather is so hot now that I am afraid to go much of any where. One year Paul and I went up to the North Carolina mountains and stayed in a cabin on top of a mountain....and it was still hot. Instead I have offered to take my son and DIL to see the play Wicked which is playing in Atlanta this July. I will stay the night at their apartment. I am waiting on them to select a date. Hopefully we will be able to get tickets!
Best,

I always joke with husband when he bought our green Chevy Spark car. It was 2012, we were on the coast then, and he had gone out in our present Winnebago RV for stamps etc, and stopped by the dealership in Warrenton. The dealership called and had questions regarding his paperwork. I was like what? He went out for stamps. Turns out he used his scooter as collateral, and he was on the way home to get it and drive back to the dealership! So he was annoyed the dealership had "ruined the surprise" but after he left I called the dealership back and said he was on his way, but they had better have a cup of hot tea waiting for him, because it was October and cold! So the joke was he went out for stamps and bought a car.😒😁

Debbie – Sweet and Spicy tea...I was thinking spicy like in hot peppers, not cinnamon. Now THAT sounds good
I did go in the pool then took a walk around the block. Not without my bathing suit on, work shorts over them (which got wet but that’s ok) and a swimsuit coverup which I wet. Took my ice water with me. Then back in the pool to do my exercises. Really, the pool wasn’t all that refreshing. Next time I probably won't wet the coverup, I really didn't need it wet
TV : Vince refuses to pay for something like Disney+ or Netflix. Then you’d be paying for a lot of different services since some have one show, some another. At least that’s his feeling. Really doesn’t bother me a whole lot since I don’t watch much TV. It does bother me, tho, when a show goes to a special service. Like now all the Charlie Brown’s are on one and we can no longer watch them.
Pip – I didn’t realize that bike seats were so expensive! Guess I just never thought of it.
Rosemarie – one of the things I like about the part of NC that I’m in is that, yes it gets hot, but there aren’t many humid days at all. I remember one time when we were moving things from PA down to a storage unit here in NC. It was 102 degrees. Coming from PA I was certain that we’d be dying. But it was not bad...because you didn’t have the humidity.
Rebecca – when Vince bought his Genesis, the same thing happened to me. I found out by phone from the insurance company. I should have known that he’d buy it.
Wrapped up the crystal I'm going to take to the Humane Society's thrift store. I think Vince was sad to do it, the crystal reminds him of his parents. But we don't use it, Replacements won't buy it. First I'll stop at the soup kitchen and give them bags and empty egg cartons that I have
Better get to bed.

Good evening ladies!
Today I ate 1203 calories, Yay! I went horseback riding, then I did twenty-five minutes on my bike, and then dumbbells.Yay! My deficit is 463. Yay!
My knee is feeling a little weak so I skipped the reverse lunges. I am up to ten on each leg, so that's going well.

Today’s gratitude: It was only a side mirror, no one was hurt.
Yup, in bumper to bumper traffic both directions on the way home from Medford, clipped my side mirror off on an oncoming RV. No safe place on 199 to pull off, so kept going. Pretty shook up. Filed accident report online today.
Things that make me throw my hands up in the air: That Fresh Chopped Salad with White Meat Chicken and Basil Dressing is THREE portions, not the one it looks like. Ate it anyway and washed it down with a glass of wine. Just that kinda day. So SMH this morning weight was down 1.1 lbs. Go figure. On the other hand BP was way high. Guess I’m still shook up.
Welcome @belkyg430 Belky from MIA (?).
Debbie Grocery Outlet is the only place I’ve found the Good Earth tea, and only the herbal. Have you ever found/tried the black tea one? Prayers for Destiny’s family as they grieve.
Only through pg 15 but time to snooze. Need to get up early tomorrow morning to take Joe in for his colonoscopy. :sick:07/05: Move: Shanghai hospital move, shopping, packing, unpacking. Steps:7303Later, lighter, lovelies!

Dh went out and came back with a car. He pulled up in the driveway. I asked him who's it was, then asked if he was just test driving it. Nope, he had bought it. The thing is, my former hubby did that and current one knew how much it bothered me and then went ahead and did it himself.
Former hubby went to Reno to see his family and get new tires on the the Blazer and came home with a pickup.

That tea is so good- 0 calories but tastes so sweet, like there is sugar or honey in it. I always keep at least an extra box of it on hand.
Dh is just the opposite of Vince- has extended cable, extras like Disney+, Netflix, and who knows what else. I do know that our cable/internet costs us over $175 a month- I think that is absolutely crazy but he has to have all of it.

Sorry about your little accident, thankfully it wasn't worse.
I know what you mean with the salads- I actually contacted the company on one of them. The bowl salads. Comes in ONE bowl with ONE fork but if you look closely, some are two servings
I don't remember if I have tried any of the Good Earth black teas. I have bought so many different teas that I may have had one of theirs but didn't make an impression on me. Sweet and Spicy-now that one is a totally different story.
