    So sorry Lynn. You know, sometimes I think losing a pet is harder than losing a person. They dig into our hearts so deep. Sending big (((HUGS)))

    We/I am currently looking for a rental house or duplex to move to. If we can’t find one we like/afford, we will move to another State Park to continue our search. Our goal is to purchase a rent-to-own house. Meanwhile, we/I am slowly packing things to put in the rental unit we still have. I’m glad we kept that, but hate that we have to pay for it to keep DH’s ‘save-for-just-in-case’ stuff and tools. I believe it is a waste of money but can’t convince him. He thinks it is saving money. He can’t handle stress and, Debbie, he acts much like you’ve described your husband when stressed. It’s hard, but I try to ignore his outbursts and get loss in my hobbies or reading. Only way I can cope right now. Anything I say will be turned into an arguing statement, so I say nothing. He gets over it and realizes how he acted. Never really apologizes but admits his blowups. That, at least, is something, but I still don’t talk to him until bedtime when he acts like that. He is a really social person and hates it more when I don’t talk to him rather than try to defend myself. I know him well.

    Enough depressing talk for me. Here is “The thought of the day:”

    Thinking of having my ashes stored in a glass urn.

    Remains to be seen.

    Its me again
    Oy when it rains it pours... my brother just called and he is in a state
    . And Im trying to talk him down..poor guy..Jean has sold his truck and quad to his son,without his knowledge, until yesterday.. and he is living up at the cottage..( Shane)
    And he was complaining about he had to pay this and that. Jean has been paying taxes and things on it for awhile. Now she doesn't pay anything..she came home drunk last night and turned the heat down.. her brother and sister in law are now fighting over the trust and she mis used it so im hoping it comes back and bites her in the butt,but meanwhile. Sean needs money to survive.. and groceries and she isn't providing either.
    I don't have anything extra to give or I would..
    So if you could keep him in your thoughts Id appreciate it..

    Allie - If the title to your brothers truck ( and maybe quad) are in his name alone, then his wife would have had to forge his signature which is illegal and he could/should go to the police and file a complaint. If it was in both their names I think it still needs both their signatures. Also couldn't he talk to his child and get it straightened out between them?

    Heather - thank you for the painting info. In 1995 I painted a "Granda Moses" type scene of our farm - the barn, sheep, llama, dog. I thought I had it scanned but cannot find the .jpg. I believe I painted it with acrylics. One of these days I'll just take a photo if I can't coax the scanner to work and post it here. Funny, after I painted it, I haven't had the desire to pick up a fine arts paintbrush since. But who knows - I'm getting a lot of inspiration from you.

    Barbie - thank you for that recipe! It reminded me of one of the best dishes I ever had at an authentic Mexican restaurant (not a chain) had Mole sauce, a first for me.

    Vicki - sending continual HUGS your way. Praying your DH's recovery is far enough along to go back to work soon and that something you'd love pans out in your job department. Also praying the Metformin does the trick for you for now - and that you'll be able to find a program which will cover your Trulicity again.

    Kay - what a frustrating situation with your bank. Sorry to hear about the hassle! Dana White's new book sounds interesting! I put one of those movable TP holders in the master bath. The original holder was on the wall next to the toilet tank - a person had to do a 180 to reach it! DH always set a roll on the vanity where he could reach it (it was "his" bathroom). I like that it holds a couple rolls and like yours, there's a little top shelf.

    Winds and rain theoretically coming after lunch, made a real early trip to town and stocked up on groceries so I'm set for a week.

    Have a great weekend ladies!

    Hey kids,

    Taking a lunch break, meds break, sit down and catch up with y'all break while the basecoat cures in the main bathroom. Corey's taking a break now that he has the first coat of Kilz on the entire small bathroom, including the door and ceiling...

    Separate, parallel jobs work so much better for us to get along during these projects. That way neither feels guilty that the other's working when we're not. We shook hands on an agreement to not pick holes in the other person's painting performance, as well as not being too hard on ourselves.

    We are both recovering perfectionists. 👀😉😂🐈‍⬛Egg seldom says much about the work we've done either way. 😉

    And, bless him, he made a ham, cheese and potato frittata that came out of the oven just in time for lunch for both of us before he started painting.

    Vicki - I think of you often. I know it's a really hard time right now, and it has to be feeling like a long, long winter for you. Sorry for the loss of your friend. So many of us seem to have lost people and pets that we care about recently. Thinking about you.

    Kay - I have all three credit reporting agencies frozen for everything of mine. I can unfreeze them if/when we ever need to buy another house or car, but right now, there's just no reason to have them wide open. It's much easier to freeze them than it used to be.

    Time to go put my feet up for a bit, and will be taking an extra pain med - up and down off a low stool to paint the floor edge has my knees a-screaming. Still better than kneeling, but only just. *sigh* Could be worse - could be unable to either one.

    Later, my babies,
    Love y'all,

    :) When my mother died in 1991 we moved into her house and rented three storage units for all the things --hers and ours--that we weren't ready to deal with. In the following years we allowed our son and a friend to store some items in the storage unit. When we felt that it was time to empty the storage units we found ourselves saying "we could do this if L or J would just get their stuff out". That's when we realized that what we were doing was shifting the blame to someone else so we didn't have to look at the stuff that was our responsibility. From that experience we made the family rule that no one could comment on other people's stuff. Each had to concentrate on one's own.

    To the person that no longer has her pet, I’m so sorry for your loss.
    I know your pain, my original 3 amigos are all gone now
