Felicia – When someone talks about minced meat pie; I think of the desert pie that has raisins in it … DOUBLE YICK! Paws rubbing my tongue to get the taste out. I’ve had “Shepherd’s Pie: before and I like that; the thought of eating anything with raisins makes me cringe. NYKaren – I ‘love’ spicy foods! Becca and Katla – If…

Lanette – IF I’m going to do ‘housework’ it is going to be MY house, paid or not; I figure that Louis pays for me to do it as when I want something done, he does it. If it something I want, if it is ‘in the budget’ I generally get it. Replaced the chairs in den with chairs he liked. Leather and shallow enough and not so…

;)

Lanette – I burn anything that has our name or any other pertinent information; so that nobody could steal it. But, I will take my scissors to a bunch of stuff; most of the time those flyers for grocery stores, etc. I’d take mine directly to the P.O., and throw them down the chute or when my friend worked there would take…

Joyce – I would have to say the Sherry borders on the line of evil. But, really she is just very selfish and greedy. To NOT provide me with pictures of her Dad growing up or any of my in-laws just makes me think she probably threw them away; and, she should have asked if we wanted them. She used an ‘illegal’ POA to pull…

Well - plastic is so much better than using Styrofoam. As for paperless; I do have some things taken out automactically; but, those charges remain the same unless I am notified a month in advance that they will change. I do use my debit card a lot because I don't want to waste time writing a check; but, as soon as I get…

Dana – My guys used to be in a hunting club; and there was farm land all around, so when the farmer plowed the fields, they’d go out looking for arrowheads and sheds (racks off deer) and stuff. Once they found what looked like a musket ball. Iron about 2” in diameter with scratches around it. Looks like if it got shot out…

Heather – DDnL#2 wants to give Will a baby so much ‘it hurts’. Going to a specialist is really, really expensive because they either have to go to Jackson, MS or Baton Rouge, LA every other day to be checked out to see if any eggs have dropped. Her fallopian tubes are almost totally blocked, so having one naturally is…

Michele – I’ve heard a lot of people taking the flowers and sending them to nursing homes or hospice patients and that is a good idea. Since I love houseplants, I probably would not send them. As a pre-teen and teenager, we’d have séances at spend the night parties; and, I was always the one ‘who called on the spirits’. We…

Machka – Do you have a room that you could use one wall as an accent wall and hang up your bikes and other biking stuff? Just a thought. On “Fixer Upper” they took an old rusty bike and cut some of the parts in ½ and hung it up on the wall in the study. It was a most unusual art piece. Next year when I get the chairs paid…

Katla – the Chinese Warrior show we went to see consisted of actual warriors, pictures, and mini-scaled exhibits of the area they were found in. They had found another one, near it; and, I think they said that some of the color was still visible. I thought it was so neat. But, I love going to museums. Tere – I usually only…

NYKaren – How do you audition for ‘conductor’ of an orchestra? Do you put music on at home and pretend you are the conductor? Hope everything works out for you and that you get it. Is this middle age or high school age kids? All during middle school my DOGD play the violin. She put it up during HS so that the younger girls…

Michele – Then the ‘news’ had it all wrong when they showed the pictures on the news here; looked like it was David’s Bridal and that a store right across the street was offering a discount. I’d STILL be pissed if I have ‘purchased’ my gown and was not allowed to get it. Especially if my wedding was coming up in 6 days.…

Lanette – I hope it works out for you to go see the Chinese Warrior Exhibit. I don’t know how much it cost when I went because my BFF made all the arrangements and paid for the tickets, and she drove to Birmingham, AL and it took us ½ the morning to get there, and we looks through the exhibit – it was WONDERFUL because you…

Talking about health care and the pharmaceutical companies – I think that ‘young, cocky SOB’ who owns the rights to the Epi-pen ought to have his *_(&^&%^_)(*)&%^$^ cut off and roasted over a pit. To raise the price of a ‘life-saving’ drug that ‘if’ you don’t need it in a 6-month period of time, you have just wasted $600+;…

Oh, and meant to ask; how was the massage?

My DDnL#2 likes to go to flea markets, junk stores, and anything she can buy or pick up to repurpose. I like waiting "Flea Market Flip" to see how the couples pick things to repurpose them. She found a old wooden bed frame in the trash heap of a house down the road from her; got Will's truck and went and picked it up. I…

Typed and deleted it from WPP, way too long. Hi to all the 'newbies'. Allie - You are a STRONG woman ... keep telling yourself that 'everything is going to be alright'; because it will be. God won't walk you to something that He won't walk you THROUGH it. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}. Lenora

Michele – We have a quilt on our bed, store bought; but, looks like a handmade one. I just need to get some thread and sew the parts back on it that are pulling away so that it will be nicer when someone gets it, if they want it. DOGD and her boyfriend are going to take our old LR chairs and make the best of them. At least…

Machka – Louis and the boys do not want me to dye my hair anymore. It stayed dyed as long as I worked. I had it an auburn (which DH did not like); but, it was auburn when we met and married. I did a lot of things when I worked that I cannot afford to do now. Like having my nails done every 2 weeks. I’d pop for an…

Machka - Beautiful hair, such a nice color, too! I've finally decided that a nice 'bob' with it stacked in the back is hat look best ono me and my DH likes it. Easy to fix and wash and blow out. My morning facial routine takes longer to do than my hair. Lenora

Re - Thanks Machka - Nice hat ... is your hair down to your waist? The longest my hair has been was when I had a "Farah Fawcett" haircut ... I think that was when it was blond, or streaked. Something I did with a 'product' that was fairly new on the market at the time. Found an easy way to BOLD a word! Double left click…

Marcelyn – I can remember making something to wear when I was about the same type of thing. I can sew; but, now-a-days you can just about buy something ready-made for what patterns now cost. KJ – What I don’t understand is that the BRACI and BRACII (and the BART) tests are not covered by insurance UNLESS you have cancer…

DJ – The heat index yesterday was 108° yesterday. Jenn is driving the loaner car as when they went to the beach over the 4th, the guy who was checking out her SUV told her to ‘park it’. He was surprised that she had not had a blowout! Big lump on tire and two of them down to the thread. Loaning her my car tomorrow because…

Lanette – Speaking of ‘pressed’ jeans; reminds me of my former/late boss who sent his jeans to the cleaners (whose parents lived next door to him for a while), so he would have a crease down the front and back and wore them with no socks and boat shoes. He always looked well put together (even with his beer gut). I had a…

Karen in Virginia – Olivia’s eyes are so dark; like our youngest granddaughter’s. It will be interesting to see her when her hair comes in. All 3 of my granddaughters were born with a head full of hair. So, unless I see pink or a bow on a baby, I rarely assume it is a boy. My oldest had a head full of hair; DYS had hair,…

Re – I’m like you (only about 6 years older). I wear short shorts and a light-weight top when I go for my weigh-in. I did not feel like I had lost this last 2 weeks. Felt sort of bloated, actually. But, all the things that should have gone ‘down’ went ‘down’ and the things that are supposed to go ‘up’ went ‘up’ so Estee…
