Michele – One of the things that having ‘notifications’ ON is that every time someone posts, whether it is FB or MFP or any other site, your phone would be ‘dinging all the time’. One reason I turned mine off. Won’t turn them on either. It’s hard enough to make sure I hit the ‘white’ area when I am checking Google or…

Wendy – I have had thyroid problems since I was pregnant with my youngest son (39 years ago). During the last month and shortly after he was born, I would literally pull up a chair to the fridge and ‘graze’. My thyroid was working overtime and that made me hyperthyroid. In fact, when you realize that it (thyroid gland) is…

Shoot-A-Monkey - Lost my post! Oh well! Lenora

Karen in Virginia – My middle sister has it; she also had/has ‘cancer insurance’ … she got that when our oldest sister was first struck with breast cancer when she was 38 or 39; She’s now 72. Has had it in the other breast, which they discovered when they were going to go in and replace the implant on the first one because…

Terry in Vermont - We put our Christmas wreath on the fireplace. It is huge! Way to big to go on a door. Well, off to go to bank and then grocery shopping. Yesterday I got down on my hands and knees and washed the floor. Louis could not believe it. I told him that there were a couple more things to do. He and Trey need to…

Mia – The lady who teaches quilting at Hobby Lobby lets people put their squares or pieces together; then they pick out a stitch pattern and she takes them home and quilts patterns like this into them. Our DYS had DOS’s pillows that he had 20 years ago, liked them for the pattern and size. They were literally falling…

Beth - With the babies being so close inside the mother; maybe putting them together in the crib. I think a lot of people with twins do that for the first few months. Turning their seats so they face one another might work … sounds like if they could see one another that might click and one have a special bond with the…

Evie – I know that anything that concerns a ‘baby’ or ‘baby anything’ isn’t going to go over well with either of them. Flowers? She got bunches from her clientele and said it was appreciated; but, she wouldn’t be able to keep them alive. I think what her Mother said to her was most insensitive … I want to go ‘whoop her…

Margaret – Thank you. I don’t know if women who have had a miscarriage have the same sort of post-partum depression that some that give birth. She sounds so low when I have talked to her or texted her. I wish there was something I could do or say to make her feel better. I haven’t talked to Will since this occurred over…

Michele – Technology is great; but, it sure ‘dumbs down’ our children (and grandchildren) when it comes to ‘math’ and ‘communication’ (both spoken and written). Now you know Maria’s true colors (when she is spending HER money). Sad as it is she is a ‘name dropper’ when it comes to being around ‘her’ friends. The rehearsal…

M in Oz – I don’t use the app on my phone other than when we are out-of-town, only to post something in my food each day so I don’t look my days running. Just a P.I.T.A. to use it; but, I use it on my laptop and open up a WPP to type my response, then cut and paste them to the last page. It is just easier for me that way.…

Allie – If TomCat fails to show, or is totally unprepared … I hope your attorney tells the Judge that she is ready to take it to trial and remind him/her how they have been stalling. If this is the 2nd or 3rd time y’all will be appearing in front of the same Judge, he/she might not look so highly on it and will award you…

Heather – With small children and artwork you should never assume what their "scribble-scrabble" as my oldest son called it. You ‘always’ ask them to tell you about it; that opens up the conversation and you will find out more. One day I came home and hade drawn a picture all in black. My mother, bless her, asked for me to…

Going to PT to deal with dizziness. Yesterday, they were going to work me it seeing one of the PAs at my GP; but, sitting there I was getting a liggle light-headed and told them that I just could not wait, so I checked out. Dizzy feeling went away and happy that I had only 4 things to get on grocery list. Got a short list…

I've got a question for all you dog owners? How can you tell 'if a dog' is 'dreaming' or if it might be having a seizure? I don't know how to explain it other than Cracker will make this sound, not quite a 'hiccup' but, for lack of a better description she does this, almost nightly. She sort of 'jerks' when she does it.…

Rye – I definitely would not be Deidra friend either. My first childhood BFS, were a set of twins. My mother and theirs were BF since college. For some reason when we got together at their house a 4th girl was invited, and, most of the time I was invited when they came to her house. I did not ‘much’ care for her Mother –…

Rye - Please don't go; we all have differences in opinions. I don't think my posting was not a divisive action; but, I also see it as a punch to how I feel when I hear or see people keep stirring everything up. I'm conservation; yet liberal enough to know we need to 'try' to love our neighbors, to respect 'all lives', I…

Lagopus, Penny, and Machka9 – The MFP will just have to stay mad with me, I’m no way near that; but, if they fuss at me I will complain that they changed going back to the ‘last’ post you made. It now only takes you back to the most current page. That means I have to scroll through pages to get back to my last post and…

mepeifer, Becca, and Mia in MI - You might want to copy your post here and go the Barbiecat's link above and get these links in the October. Make sure you 'bookmark' the October month by clicking on the outline of the star. See you there. Lenora

One day - and 3 pages behind. I can't believe this.

Barbie - Thanks for all you do to keep us connected. Love this site. Becca - You are my 'hero' (I know that isn't the right word for a woman); but, you know what I am saying. I'd like to learn how too stretch my $$$ as much as you do. We do bring home things we order at a restaurant to eat the next night. We usually have…

Barbie – I haven’ met or made goals; maybe I should. Sometimes I will pre-track my food; but, never my exercise; but, I know if I don’t do it, the possibility of me ‘losing’ gets less and less. I did walk a lot at the beach; but, even with a broken toe, I was determined not to let it get in the way. Ended up taking my…

Katla - I think Allie said that once she is past the 1-year 'lease to purchase the condo' and has done so successfully they condo will be in her name (or maybe it has been - that I don't know) - so basically what she is in essence doing, is 'renting it from him with whatever she is paying to be to applied to the principle…

Rye – My husband bought a ‘new’ Chevrolet Station Wagon, because we found that carrying all the ‘baby apparatus’ was really not working with the Mazda we had. We drove it for several years, until we had problems making the payments, so my sister and BnL (now ‘ex’) bought it, paid if off, and drove it many more years. It…

Terry – I’m sorry you had troubles with a sister who was probably bipolar. I am convinced that our DDnL#1 is bipolar. Never know what mood she is going to be in, therefore we walk on eggshells when she happens to be around. DYS won’t come home (like he used to at Thanksgiving) because of her and how he has treated his…

Mary – He’s so tiny. But, he’s so ‘cute’. Wendy – Louis is a workaholic; but, very ‘tender’. To me, what’s fun, is watching the interaction between Will and Tami (and Mallory) … still like newlyweds; but, at the same time grieving the miscarriage of a baby they had tried so had to have. IF they decide to try this IVF…

Allie – I think all of us are proud that you got out of a loveless marriage and moved on (and up). Don’t let anyone ‘rain on your parade; keep one foot always moving in front of the other. Now, it sounds like you can get on and over this and hopefully TomCat will pay whatever his portion of the assets are and hopefully he…

I POSTED THIS IN TWO PARTS … YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SKIP 4 PAGES TO GET TO THE POINT OF READING NEW POSTS. I’M SOMEWHERE BETWEEN “ATLAS SHRUGGED” AND “GONE WITH THE WIND” Sue – Does the machine cut all the way down go the ground like cutting wheat or does it just cut off the tops like soybeans or both? I find it difficult to…

Lanette – Our Head County Commission retired after 40 years in office, about 38 too many. What an @$$-O! Now his son is the Head Commissioner even though there were other with more experience. The Head is elected by the other Commissioner; but, then after that he is elected by the county-at-large. My Daddy said the BEST…

AAADD KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ! Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!! Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look…
