    Thanks! I figured it was probably something like that. Glad it was an easy fix. Have fun at Jazz!

    This has been an interesting month for me….. I skipped wine several days in a row most weeks so I have to applaud myself for making that goal. Still coming in 2 days shy of my set AF target for July but, completed twice as many AF days over June. So yes a win for me. 

    Looking forward to tuning the calendar over to August although it’s going to be a crazy busy month. More on that later. So many of you have such inspiring stats!!! A big congratulations - let’s keep going.

    @NonnieDoiron OMFG I am so sorry to hear that your hubby and BIL had to go through all they did. Good Lord that’s awful. I can see exactly how after these revelations blew you away, you’re ready to make some serious, and much needed, changes to your household. And who gets to be in it. Geez. hugs.


    Hugs also for the puttering in the middle of the night! Egads, I swear some people don’t realize how loud they are. Hopefully tonight as you celebrate your 19th there will be more loving and less killing! 🤣

    There's nothing magical about a month, go for one day!

    @nbruns83 so true!!

    Okay, so I started flagging and reporting as trolling, when I went to hit send on another one, MFP told me I had reported 4 in 60 seconds and my account got reported!! Apparently I now have to wait 600 seconds to post again. What gives MFP!?

    @SparkSpringtime69 well, thanks your help and anyone else that flagged. Looks like they are gone now.

    @Womona I really want him and his brother to put her in a home, but my husband is SOOO unbelievably resistant to it. My BIL is all for it. He has no love-loss for her, and he kept telling my husband not to put her above the kids and me. My husband keeps saying he doesn’t want to leave her alone and without family. This is the same woman who when living on her own called him only when she needed something. The call that got her moved in with us was her asking him to pay $700 for her insulin because she had no money. Before that, he hadn’t heard from her in months! She has always chosen to be alone and stand-offish to her family. So, what difference does it make if she goes to a home? Oh well, I guess we’ll see what happens.

    We aren’t celebrating our anniversary tonight. We are going to a mystery theater dinner on Saturday per my husband’s request. I suck at who-dun-its. I hope he’s better at it than me.

    @NonnieDoiron i’m just blown away by all of this. If she is at least nearby, she can be visited often and you guys can be a presence at the nursing home so they know they have eyes on them. It’s got to be so much less stressful for your household not only her living there, but with the digestive problems. I hope your husband will consider this.

    Have fun at the mystery theatre! This are fun!

    I love your example of a mindful choice “changed my mind” @nbruns83! I think that’s what makes this LA path so worthwhile and interesting.

    Thanks for your reply @LittleSurferGirl7 - I was really happy for you. I’m sure there are many people who could benefit from such a supportive discussion thread.

    I was surprised too @LittleSurferGirl7 - I thought it popped up in community how I always go in, not sure!

    At least you gave it a trial run and know it worked.
