    Regarding make-up in this part of the world ...

    It seems to be that those under 20 and those over 70 wear the most make-up. It kind of eases off after 20 and builds up toward 70.

    In between those ages, women tend not to wear make-up or just a touch of foundation. And maybe a hint of mascara to dress up.

    I would feel very self conscious if I wore more than foundation.

    And people rarely wear perfume either. Thank goodness! It sets off my allergies.

    The other day I realized that my mother has been gone almost 60 years !

    Got my new mahjongg card. I am still mad at myself for throwing out the old one


    Going to watch a bit of TV. Hope I don’t fall asleep!

    how young were you when she passed away- I can't imagine having my parent gone that long- (especially beings I am 61yrs old)- dad has been gone going on 3 yrs and that is hard for me to imagine.

    Margaret - I watched your singing. You did a really good job. My experience of solo singing is that it is terrifying. :D It's lovely that your voice has stayed so high. I used to be a soprano, but now I'm a low alto.

    I woke up early today. I'm going to have to get the holiday admin stuff done today as it's now getting to me. Every time I think about it, my stomach clenches. It must be done! I hope my nerves will subside when it's all done. Haven't flown for years, hate all the airport business, and haven't been away for a week with just cabin baggage! I'm always like this before I go anywhere! :#

    Bea pick up day today. I think I'm going to let DH walk, and I will see how near I can get on the buses. I know I will have to change once.

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Made it through the day optimistically for 80%! DH made it difficult.....I think he is "menstrating".....Managed to eat every 4 hours instead of 1.5 to 2! Yay! Ladies, I am not kidding, it has been bad. I woke up last night at midnight (a spoonful of peanut butter, 2 am 4 oz of chicken, 4 am a fistful of peanuts, breakfast at 630 was 3 eggs, two pieces of wheat toast, leftover steamed broccoli, and spinach. At noon, I had 2 cups homemade chicken n dumplings, at 4 pm a tomato sandwich on wheat bread and 1/2 an apple, dinner at 8 was 2 cups chicken n dumplings and 10holiday grapes) All healthy but if I logged it probably more than I normally eat in 3 days. Upside...I haven't wanted processed or junk food. Dinner was late as I had a massage after work and stopped at grocery after that. I needed produce and a few other items. DH agreed to black beans on his salad for lunch. Dr recommended more fiber. I keep saying he needs protien on that romaine. We will see....I like them so is good either way.

    Thank you all for sharing your talents!
    Thank you for continuing to inspire us is some manner!
    Welcomes!

    I thought I was the only one that got up for a spoon full of peanut butter at midnight(or other times of the night). That really is one of the reasons my weight isn't coming off, I LOVE peanut butter!!

    I am kind of thankful that I experience a great deal of gastric distress when I eat peanuts or peanut butter.

    Back in my teens and early 20s, I lived on peanut butter and peanuts but gradually I started experiencing more and more gastric distress. Eventually I narrowed down the cause and have rarely touched peanuts or peanut butter since.

    Hi Gals,

    Thought I’d touch base – This weekend I officiated a wedding, my first, not a new side gig, but was asked to officiate my friend Dylan’s wedding. Cute young couple, all of the parents and the wedding party all great people. An evening(5-10pm) outdoor reasonably dressy wedding. I found my dress at a thrift store the neckline was a bit revealing so I made some lace on my embroidery machine to embellish it and hide some cleavage. And then made a swing jacket to go with it- out of chiffon, so very summery - However Mom Nature decided that it would be a high of 64 and a low of 54 – with some wind…. BRRRRR ! no indoor option available. After the ceremony I put leggings under the dress, added socks and comfy shoes for the strappy sandals, and a sweater between the dress and the swing jacket. But was glad for my car heater about 9 pm. I was a bit nervous – but pulled it off with very few hiccups. And got lots of complements.

    I didn’t realize how much stress I was under until I crawled into bed last night and slept for 8 hours and after a couple of “up” hours was ready for bed again. I’ll go in early tonight. As tomorrow is a workday for me.

    Love ya all,
    Kim in N. California

    Machka ~ About keeping in touch with family. I have 3 brothers and a sister and most of us keep in touch one way or the other. One brother only contacts if someone in the family had a terrible occurrence. The rest through calls, email, and Facebook. We grew up in so much turmoil between our parents that I guess it is important to keep in touch.

    Carol in GA

    My family was quite close when I was growing up.

    About 15 years ago, we ended up scattered all over the place. Me in the furthest reaches of Australia. My brother in Louisiana. My parents in a part of Canada I didn't grow up in at all (and we moved a lot!). I've got aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and a nephew here there and everywhere.

    My mother passes on news now and then, but otherwise we've pretty much gone our own ways.

    It seems to work for us.

    You might well wonder why I am doing it all, but he says, if he does it I only complain he hasn't done it right. :/
    So I prefer to be the one who books. Cruises also.

    I have also just booked a covid jab for this Thursday, late afternoon. DH has one a couple of hours earlier. I went on the NHS app and it allowed me to book one. I hadn't been invited yet. Really pleased, as it allows me time to get over any after effects. I always feel wonky the next day. Nothing planned for Friday, or the weekend.
    Unfortunately, our flu jab isn't until we get back from France.

    @lehr64 Welcome! Not sure what happened to your first post, but your second one came through just fine... Glad you're here, post away. :) Tell us a little about yourself, and sign off with what you'd like to be called and some kind of general area where you live in your signature so we can get to know you a bit. It's how we keep each other straight.

    Cheers!
