Allie – I think Re in TX has said it best! Take care of YOU, first … it’s your turn! Becca – Loved the poem; yes, I felt that probably a little past Life at Midlife. I’m pretty sure that I am on the ‘sunset’ side of life at 66; prepared, just not ready. Got so many things I want to ‘check off my Bucket List’. I guess I…

Ginger – We’re looking forward to our trip; just have not decided when we’re leaving and it will be 2 days into the trip before we get to San Antonio. We’ll probably just find a Hampton Inn outside of NOLA and in or around Houston. We’ve always stayed at Hampton Inns when we have traveled to St. Augustine, FL (actually the…

NYKaren – Great that you were able to not go down that ‘emotional overeating’ especially after your trip to go mattress padding with your DOS. My DOS also has ‘white’ hair and has since her early 30’s. When we moved to the ‘big’ house, one of our neighbors had white hair (premature) and she ‘prayed’ to have ‘white’ hair.…

Allie - If you can't get Florida place (preferable with TomCat paying it off); then everything should be sold and proceeds divided in whatever manner is agreeable to each party; but, at least 50/50 after 20 years of being married to TomCat. Didn't realize your children live there or near. So I understand you not wanting to…

Ginger – Thanks, I will check into that; I know when I stayed in San Antonio, for training, I could look out my window and The Alamo was right across the street, down a little to the left (but not by much). River walk out the back door of the lobby. We’ve just got to decided when we’re leaving and when we’ll get there.…

Machka – I have a friend who is in New Zealand; and, when I was fussing about nearly 100° temperature; he told me that is was -3° there. I forget that ‘Down Under’ (Equator) it is winter there. Not only seasonal change but also when it is daytime here, it is night-time there. But, it is a beautiful country. One of my HS…

Heather – Isn’t this the same thing they did before … wanting you house (keeping it off the market) while they ‘wait’ to see if the people can actually ‘buy’ theirs? If you have taken the house “OFF the market” none of the realtors should be bothering you. It’s not for sale. You’ve changed you mind and you have that right.…

Lost my post! Kids got home a little while ago from their visit with their friends. Trey said that Jenn and Stacy almost had a 'huge blowout'. Of course, Jenn was 'hormonal' (on her period); Trey said Stacy was just being a "B". Another issue is they took Jenn's mother with them and I can barely take one day of her and her…

Pip – Move you bar up higher. I learned I had to do that with mine; not because of furbabies, just children. Joyce – I’ve never known a cat to ‘fetch’ or ‘do anything you want it to do on your timeline’. But, aren’t ‘kittens’ fun … they can be so expressive. Are your plugs attached to the studs in the walls? I know my DOS…
-
Joyce – Cracker is so vocal and animated; it isn’t at all difficult to know what she wants; but, let ‘either’ of us leave the house and leave her with the other … she goes to the door several times and then comes back and ‘fusses’ at the other as if to say, ‘why did they leave, was it something I did, go get them’!!!! She…

Lanette – A dear great aunt of mine got hit with a ‘bottle rocket’ as a kid, so she was *kitten*-eyed from then on out. My cousin used to bring firecrackers and cherry bombs to my grandmother’s house when we would get together on the 4th. He’d pass out the firecrackers; but, only he could set off the cherry bombs. He used…

Happy Fourth of July to all of you. Hoping that each of you have 'nice' weather to celebrate it in. Carol, sorry your computer is dead. Taking today and doing what I need to do around the house. Washing sheets and folding clothes. I already have my 'exercise' under my belt. That's nice, won't have to dread it anymore…
-
Michele – Yeah, I’ve seen those, too; but. Have often wondered if it gets in the way if they happen to have to open hood for any reason. To me, bread that has been frozen … such as white bread; not Texas Toast or French Bread or rolls; need to thaw out before using it; and, for that reason it never has the same soft…
-
Pip – I used to ‘hate’ hearing people say that I looked ‘just like my Mother’ because all I ever saw was a 5’2” woman wearing 350lbs+; but, I am happy that I look like my Mother because she had beautiful skin and that is something I got from her. I always thought my middle sister looked more like her; she is more like…

Now, now, Beth ... I am 'trying' to cut them back; just not 'way' back. LOL!

Thank God for my DBnL! I had to drive Louis’ truck into town to go grocery shopping. Should have known it wasn’t going to go well when I had to get DH to turn the key over to start the truck. I just don’t have the strength. Got to grocery store and beside my list I bought 3 times that were BOGO and ribs were on sale for $2…

Beth – When they put me in the ‘wisp’ mask they did not really ‘fit’ it and they finally changed it to a ‘small’ one. So much better. It has a headgear that has more straps that the full or half-mask; but, I can still, and do, pull it off during the night, if I feel like it is stifling my breathing. I hope your son won’t…
-
Beth – What type of mask does your son use with his C-pap – sounds like he is wearing a half-mask or full-mask which covers the face and all. I am way too claustrophobia to wear either; so I have a ‘wisp’ mask, which covers only the nose. It the mask gets dirty or has too much oil from his skin and isn’t sanitized to clean…
-
Allie – All along, I’ve had it in my head that the man in your avatar was TomCat. Nice looking man; but, it isn’t his fault that I wanted to ‘hunt him down and hurt him slowly’. You need a ‘new’ avatar. Especially, after you told us who he was. Maybe a picture of TomCat, so we can ‘throw darts’ at it. Lanette – I usually…

Katla – And Enterprise advertises that ‘they will come pick you up’. What a balf-faced lie. They’ll come pick you up provide it is after 4:30pm when the rentals come back in. I had to take a VW Jetta; which was not really comparable to my car; but, once I got home, Louis said, even ‘if’ everything was manual (other than…
-
Margaret – If someone could come up with a safe solution to get mustard out of clothes … they’d be a millionaire for sure. IF I wear white … I AM going to spill something on it. What works for me on stains is Clorox Spray for Stain in Colors and some ‘white’ foam soap from a dispenser or clear or white Dawn. I can…

Then on the last day of June, Barbiecat will post another link that will take you to July, you'll need to bookmark…

Mary from Minnesota – Sounds like it is time to change hairdressers. I have NO idea why she’d be that ‘ugly’ to a paying customer. Must be jealous. I’d find a new hairdresser and never look back! You look great in my opinion. We know you've been quite ill and she should have known that, if you had known one another for 20…

Michele – Louis’ power washing is pretty strong; but, quite some time he’d rent on at the place (Bob White’s) because he could not afford one with much pressure. He can now reach the 2nd story and dormers and stand on the ground while doing so, so it is strong. I would suggest looking into maybe renting one. Joyce – My…

Toni - This is how I felt from the time I was first diagnosed at the age of 36 with Bipolar Disorder until I 'put it down on paper'. By the time I finished the poem in 1997; I knew that I was going to be 'retired on a disability'. I learned how to put myself ahead of a lot of things and maybe more importantly a lot of…
-
Michele – Louis says he pressure washes it and most comes off. He says that some use muriatic acid (but this can leave stains, so he doesn’t use it). He said he would probably use a mild soap solution if pressure washing with just plain water doesn’t do it. Just need to stand back away from the house so the pressure will…
-
Allie – You go, girl! Taking care of in-laws even when you are going through what you are, shows that you have a ‘huge’ heart. TomCat is only ‘out for his pleasure’ and ‘what has become important to him’. Besides, God doesn’t like ‘ugly’; and, Karma is waiting around the corner and I bet she’ll have a ‘field day’ with him.…
-
Lisa – I read your post twice and both times I was wondering … what was she doing on the floor to have that view? LOL!!!!! Mia – No fault divorces in many states is to really give women (especially abused women) a way to get ‘out of a marriage’ without having to put anything other than the ‘marriage is irretrievable…

DJ – Do you use Outlook on your computer? Have you checked for updates (not upgrades, that cost $$$); if it is giving you problems, maybe it is because an update did not update. You can put it on ‘auto update’. Also do you clear you cookies, history, and that on your Internet, such as Google or IE? I can’t remember where…
-
Allie - Sorry you found the texts on the phone. UGH! Yep, a real @$$ (mainly for NOT deleting his messages). Gee, look them up on FB to see if you can 'find' pictures of them together. You can download pictures from FB to your computer. Then you would not have to hire a P.I. If TomCat doesn't have a FB account, it might be…
