Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

Good Evening My Dear Friends,

Beth, so glad I’m not the only one. My pictures are fine on my computer and I still didn’t think Sarah had on any pants.

Chris, I’m crossing everything I have for you in that things work out the way you want.

Sue, yes, Sylvia had BO and ended up having surgery once or twice. I do hope she is well and really miss her. I hope her art co-op is going well.

Pip, I absolutely adore the baby Yogi!!!! Love the pics of Bullwinkle and Floyd too.

Barbie, I’m the same way in hearing stories about toxic co=workers and bosses. Lordy I love being retired.

Allie, it sounds like you need to give “Mary” at work a kick in the rear. Glad you rested well.

Kelly, that is terrible for your friend. I broke one wrist a few years ago and thought that was awful but can’t imagine two at once.

Ginger, you are rockin’ it with those check marks. Way to go, girl.

Isargood, welcome. This is a great place for support and information. Please tell us a bit about yourself to help us get to know you and sign each post with the name you want to be called. A location is great too, general or specific.

Lisa, the pictures were great. I hope ya’ll had a great time.

Margaret, I heard tired in your typing. I hate broken sleep, too. I do hope you get the needed rest. ((((Hugs))))

Michele, so good to hear from you. I’m glad it’s going well down there. If you just stay a little longer you can be there for Bike Week. Some of the bikers came through here on their way.

Margaret, it sounds like you have your work cut out for you in that diet for DH. Lots of meat but not too much protein has me scratching my head?? Good luck.

Kate, if the hospital didn’t do an ultrasound how did they figure out it was gall stones??? Hope you get it scheduled soon. My gyn sent me for an ultrasound when I told him about the pains I’d been having. The next week I ended up in the emergency room and right in the hospital for a week to get rid of the pancreatitis before my surgery. Two days after I got home from the hospital the doctor’s office called and told me that I had gall stones. I said, “Not any more, I don’t”. lol

Kay, you are just going gang busters with your exercise. I’m so inspired by you. Go girl!!!

Becca, I for one never felt like you were trying to convert anyone to your “weird” way of things. LOL Not that it would matter if you were. We are all pretty much set in our ways by now. There is often just no comment to make but it’s usually an interesting read. Just don’t be showin’ me your sex records, that’s all. LOL

Lanette, I love that you said: “My "filter" developed a gigantic hole”. The next time I get a short fuse or as you say, a little sassy, I’ll think of that.

Janetr, since you had gained back a few pounds, then don’t take my congrats on losing some. LOL I don’t care if you had gained 100….lost weight is lost weight and I think it’s wonderful. So there. (((Hugs)))

Gayle, so sorry for what you are going through with your mom. Glad that she had a turn for the better. That is very stressful and I’m glad you took a bit of time off. Please take care. ((((Hugs))))

Re, so glad you are seeing progress from your PT.

Katla, I hope the surgery goes well for your DH. Sending good thoughts. Before we moved to Myrtle Beach I mentioned an “Active Adult Community” (55 and over) to DH and he said, “I don’t want to live in a neighborhood with a bunch of old people”. He did say it mostly ‘tongue in cheek’ but what’s so funny is that he is now the least active and sociable senior that I know. Thank goodness he doesn’t mind if I still go and do.

Lanette, I agree that there are times I’d like to let someone know that I care and am thinking of them yet don’t have time to respond to everyone. But to be honest, I still forget that we have the responses that we do. Plus, how do you know someone has responded with a Like or Awesome without going back to your original post?

Sue, beautiful flowers!! Glad you are making baby steps but hope to hear that you are leaping soon. Please take care and feel the love we are sending.

Mia, she’s cute. I love the smell of a clean doggie.

Cathy, for sure you need to post more so we can congratulate you when you “GET A GRIP” on yourself. Lol Package those cookies in very small portions and put them in the freezer. Quick. You can do this. Come on now.

Paula, sorry for all your snow. Unless you like the snow days? Can’t tell. Just stay safe and enjoy your time in the house.

Toni, just know that we are here for you if you need to rant a bit. I hope you and your DH can work it all out. (((Hugs)))

to any Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.

I Love you

Becca, there are many, many days I don't' comment to anyone. Not that I don't care. I just don't respond. A couple of years ago I made long, long responses. I have no idea why I stopped. I still care just as much. Maybe a little depression???? But anyway, I love your posts. You are a very unique person maybe because of your Navy wife days? But everything about you I absolutely adore. I love your take on life, your love you have for your seniors, or even anyone who needs a hug. You just keep on posting about YOU and know that there are some of us who are silently enjoying everything you write and learning so much.

There have been many times I have used this sight as more of a journal for myself. I don't expect anyone to respond to me. I just have this urgent need to right my thoughts down. So you are welcome to read and be silent but they help me figure things out.

I don't know why my 'DH' is so hesitant to talk on the phone to potential contractors. We are going to be installing two doors and one door apparently is going to take some extra work on the framing. I don't understand a bit of it. But I knew Charlie would. But I couldn't get him to talk to our hopeful contractor that I have had so many conversations with but just not signed the contract. So I finally got him to agree to me calling and talking to him then putting him on speaker phone. It solved everything!!!!! Since we are getting money back from our Federal taxes he felt like we could afford to get the gutter guard, will not get the garage door opener although we could easily afford that also. I know his Parkinson's would sure appreciate it. Charlie was so hesitant in the gutter guard, all it took is to ask this guy if he was going to be over on this side of town and could bring it over again. He is also going to bring over two more bunches of colors he can get the gutters and downspouts in. I can't believe this is actually going to happen now. So my sister and I are going to have lunch tomorrow for my birthday so I am trusting my husband to get this contract signed, ask the one question we forgot to ask today. They would be able to start the end of the month, first of April. We signed the contract on the windows Feb 4th and they said 6-8 weeks so it might all be at the same time!!!!!

We really want to go down and see oldest daughter and family. This weekend works for them since the teenager will be home but it is the weekend to put our clocks forward. I really have this problem with commitment in going to church. Once I get on a consistent schedule, I am OK. I have gone 3 Sundays in a row now. But that is no way close enough for me to be in the commitment to get up. It isn't the desire, it's the getting out of bed to do it. If we go to their house Saturday, we will be getting back about 10 PM which is then 11 PM getting to bed time. That is the problem for me. So I am torn between wanting to see the family, getting my Ellie hugs and continuing in getting back in my schedule in getting to church. I was very consistent until my hospitalizations in December. She is suggesting we go down there spring break when we can go during the week. She doesn't know it but we will be going down there April 8th for her 40th birthday. We will take my wheelchair, get some black balloons and other 'over the hill' stuff and take her to the mall and other places. We did that for my brother when he turned 40 and we had so much fun.

See, I use this site to just write down thoughts. No one has to respond. I am just listening to myself.

LOL Thank you for the encouragement and I did appreciate it, I didn't mean to be ugly about it. I just didn't want you to think I all this weight and becoming too "thin" ha ha ha I so very much appreciate the encouragement. I've been working hard at it and the support and encouragement here is my best motivation. Thank you #1.

Janetr OKC

PaulaY..... I too am anxious to know where you are. Interestingly, your profile says 59 yr old female and that's about it. I also see a member pyanko who is a 51 year old male of no particular background either. Your brother I assume?..

Barbie - I never use flashlights anymore. I have a headlamp for each of us for emergency lights. It would work great out walking in the dark.

Becca - none of us gets written to every time but if you're not here for a while everyone is wondering where you are! I feel the same sometimes but I don't have time to write to everyone all the time and sometimes I just feel like so many people have already said what I would say that I don't need to say it. Hopefully everyone knows that I care about them and what's going on in their lives.

Love to all - of to bed!
