I've been over-ruled before by Louis on some things I have tried to 'throw away'. I finally gave up on trying to throw away a perfectly good pillow that did not go with anything in the house. Might have been 'ok' on the porch; but, I have needlepoint pillows that my Mother made out there, so it went into the stack to be…

Katie - My utility room area won't ever look that neat; but, it will look neat - for me ... when it gets done. Sister is coming down the 26th and I have decided that I will wait on the kitchen until she gets here. She and Tommy will be spending the night. I've got a big stack started on things to donate to Goodwill. I told…

Allie - I agree with others ... stop being a 'chump' for TomCat. He hasn't and won't change ... you can't change the spots on a leopard (or any animal ... they go skin deep). Let your attorney 'know' what he has said ... she can bring that up at the appropriate time to the court. Letting the court 'know' that he has told…

Lanette - I am doing so much better; now that all my medications (other than the Dilantin) is back to pre-hospital dosages. I have decided that I will move my Rxs to CVS - I use their mail order program, so I figured this would just be easier. Today I started purging my computer area. OMGoodness ... what a mess! I have…

I have found that MFP takes you back to the top of the next page AFTER your post; it used to go back to the next post after yours. I don't like this new way because it means I lose seeing some of the posts that were made after mine and before the next top of the page. I try to remember the last page I posted on and go back…

Joyce – We have a disc player. I don’t think they have VCR players any longer. Reason for loss of weight – maybe the ‘cold, awful hospital food’. I have no idea what I weigh at this moment; will get weighed next Wednesday. I hope I have lost weight. One thing that MFP did was reset my days running … I was happy about that.…

Decluttering - The kitchen and utility/computer rooms are something that just to think about them is overwhelming. Sister and brother-in-law coming the 26th and spend the night and we'll tackle them both. Oh, and finishing Will's room by deciding on which sheet sets to keep. I know one set of sheets are queen-sized but not…

I was lying on Mother' pillow talking to her and twirling her hair when she took her last breath. I know I jerked up and both my sister asked, 'What's wrong'. When I told them that Mother had taken her last breath and was gone; they were both like chickens with their heads cut off. It was something that I'll never forget.…

Last night I rearranged my china cabinet ... moved all the dishes down a shelf. I am really surprised that the middle shelf in my china cabinet had not fallen down. They were a lot heavier that I realized when I first put them in it. It looks so much better and everything is dusted and washed and back inside it. I realized…

I'll go ahead and wish you an 'early' Happy Birthday! I will be taking a short period of time 'off' social networking and only checking it once a month.

I love the Yogi pictures, loved the vacation pictures, loved reading about folding towels and sheets and having them facing out. That is pretty much the way I am. I have not decided where to put my sheets unless I put them in the desk drawer(s). We did not think about a lot of things when we built the house ... mostly…

Barbara - That is pretty much how I fold my sheets. This guy was definitely folding a full-sized fitted sheet; no way it was any bigger. The chair worked for me. Then laying it on our king-sized bed to do the folding in 3rds. I will have to figure out which ones are king and queen and keep 2 of each (plus the flannel set).…

Barbara - Thanks for the tip on how to fold fitted sheets. I will try that. I printed the instructions out and will follow them 'step-by-step'. I know I will be getting rid of a lot of them. Only keeping 2 or 3 (one flannel) sets so I can have one 'on' and one 'off' on laundry days. Now to decide which ones to keep or not.…

Pholcus phalangioides (spiders - Daddy Long Legs). Well, when you said that, I am not nearly as scared of them as I am the brown, jumpy spiders that have two beige lines on it body (brown) ... that is in the family of 'brown recluse spiders) but not the ones who are dangerous. I knocked one off my arm after it had bitten…

Not all divorces go as planned ... DDnL#1 had a friend whose husband divorced her (thought she was having an affair ... which might have been true, don't know); but, he makes about $75K and she hasn't made more than $25K in the jobs she is qualified for. He got custody of their child and she was 'ordered' to pay $250 in…

RATS! Just lost post. Oh well, I was saying that I have a 'terminal case of arachnophobia and I would be 'dead' if I saw spiders in my bedroom. Of course, I have had a bite of two that were spider bites and knew it as soon as I was bitten. Very painful. Mama spider(s) with babies ... I don't think so. Well, during the…

Gonna be cold again tonight; no busted pipes (no water yesterday AM. Dripped water in kitchen and kept it running to noon today. Will have to run it again, and sprinkler going out front. I don't think Louis ever turned it off. One of my plants, a Crown of Thorns, out on my glassed-in porch looked like it fainted. I don't…

If y'all are talking about getting notifications on your cellphones you can turn them off. Go to setting and there will be a setting for notifications and you will just go down the list and turn off the ones you don't want to get notifications from. I did this once for MFP and just did the same for Facebook ... I don't…

Oh, I forgot. Do any of you have granddaughters that have and play with Barbie dolls? I found 22 outfits that my Mother made me when I had one 50+ years ago. I will be willing to sell them if anybody wants them. I'm thinking of about $65 (but that is negotiable). Lenora

I'm freezing ... in the 20's overnight, did not warm up much today either ... back in the 20's tonight; but one thing for sure ... we'll be dripping our faucets. Woke up this morning to no water; but, at least none of them froze and broke. Sprinkler running today, so we will have lot of ice out there in the morning. I…

My word for the year keeps changing; maybe I ought to just say it is the 'word for the month or week'. Phrase even ... finish what I start ... so 'completion' has now become my word at the moment. Bath decluttered, so I need to start on the 2nd bedroom (maybe) ... things for Louis to do in the MBR first. I have started a…

Becca - Love the picture of your husband ... was it done in watercolors or pastels? Looks more like watercolors to me.

Read the morning posts ... glad that I looked harder for the link from last month. So here I am. Louis totally spoiled Cracker while I was 'gone' to the 'other side of sanity'. I don't think she can comprehend that we both love her. Can't decide if she wants to be with one of us or the other. Louis did teach her to wait…

When your periods become 'synched' with every other woman you work for ... it doesn't make for a 'good week'. Now I don't have to worry about it ... not since I was 35 ... almost 1/2 of my lifetime ago or maybe 20 years ago, when I retired.

Thought I would check for link to January 2018 ... this year is going to be a lot better for me. Will work at being compliant with taking my daily meds, don't want to end up back in the hospital any time soon. Love all of you! Lenora
