Becca – Pretty crocus. I only have less than 40 friends on FB; am choosey about who I will make friends with. Rarely share anything other than ‘like’, ‘love’, ‘laugh’, ‘sad’, or ‘angry’ on it. I might make a few comments to the friends and family. Try not to mention names. The ‘drama’ is what made me get OFF it for several…

Hi ladies - Thanks to all of you wishing me a "Happy Birthday" ... it was quiet, for the most part. Tonight we went to DOS and family's house to eat supper. I had forgotten we had been asked the day before ... so I went way over my CI for the day; but, I did not eat much yesterday. A few moments of a 'pity party' ... not…

Beth - {{{{{HUGS}}}}} - I know it has to be difficult to learn things 'long distance' and I'm sure you'd like to be there. Ladies - I typed out a novel tonight, getting a lot off my chest, then purposefully deleted it. Please keep my DOS and DGDs in your prayers. I'll leave it at that. <3 If my DDnL#1 is NOT Bipolar I will…

Carol – I feel the same way; I know that I miss those posts that are getting posted about the same time I hit “post it” … I have even started going back to the previous page, even then I get that ‘deer in the headlights’ look because someone will bring up an ongoing story and I feel like I have dropped through a ‘Swiss…

Heather – When I lose weight I lose it from my face first; and, it is my plan not to look ‘haggard’ no matter what my goal ultimately becomes. Right at the moment my goal is to get to the middle of the range that includes 27. I’ve been 1 point off before and that was when I was under 160; then I found those 5 or 6 pounds.…

Michele – Maybe Mars did not close; but, stopped making candy. I don’t normally have any reason to go down that far (into town, if I can help it). Yeah! March 22nd … good birthday for Jess and me to share! I’ll be “66”. As for the mother of the groom; one of my good HS classmates had told her DD that she had picked out and…

Gloria – Hope you sister is going to be ‘ok’ and has a speedy recovery. When I flipped my car in Jan of 2012; that is how my sister’s found out I had been in a wreck, thanks to my DDnL#1; both of them called her and were NOT at all pleasant about it. Then, they called me at the hospital and asked why she would have posted…

Mary from Minnesota – Neither son (because he works for DH who is covered under my COBRA’ed insurance from my job) nor his wife had insurance; and, they paid a fine each year for the past 3 years. She went without a job for 4 months (she walked out on it because she got mad at boss) and he told her ‘if she walked out of…

Michele – As the Mother of the Bride, you get to chose the color and style; then you let the Mother of the Groom know what color you are wearing? My Mother wore a nice Canteloupe dress she had made. I designed my own wedding dress and veil and she made that. Mimi crotched a beaded belt that you linked it over itself and it…

Paula – Yes, the ‘sickening smell’ of marijuana doesn’t help an already quesey stomache. What someone does behind their closed doors is their business; but, when it overflows into public domain … that ought to be a problem, even ‘if’ your State has voted in ‘marijuana’ for medicinal purposes. In most states, public places…

Still lurking ...

Just 'lurking' ...

I've found that the tea I bought had a oily taste to it; unless I put 'sugar' in it. That seemed to defeat the purpose to me. But, I will drink it; thankfully, it was a small box.

debgigi – Are your dumplings thick ones or thin? I’m looking for a recipe that makes thick dumplings and a creamy sort of gravy. Like at Cracker Barrel Restaurants. Beth – Anything that required pulling on a cord would not work with me. Every time I have tried, it has done nothing but wear me out. Karen in Virginia –…

https://biggeekdad.com/2015/02/amazing-typewriter-artist/ I don't know if this link will show up for you. It is the MOST AMAZING video I have seen in a long time. IF you cannot open it from this link, I suggest you try to copy and paste it into your browser search line so you can watch it. As an artist myself ... I was…

Annieoldie – Triplets, single, single, and twins? Where is the 8th? OMGoodness; I can’t imagine that many multi-births in one family. Hopefully the multi-births are not from the same family. One of our former Governor’s daughters had a single, twins, then triplets. That is extremely unusual and they were really close…

;)

Michele – Same number from Georgetown, GA called; I picked it up and said, “Fire Department, where’s your emergency – it went silent. So this next time I think I will answer ‘Bambi’s *kitten* House”. I’ve decided that I would answer it since it is a recording session. Maybe when they are informed to NOT call my number,…

Lanette – Yep, with my daily intake of coffee; I plan on living a long time. Hopefully free of any Alzheimer’s, too. Kelly – I’ve never been in a job that I was personally affected by change; but, Louis has been. He had been painting houses for about 5 years, on the side; one day he got told his area would be cut and…

Gloria – I think when we hear from our adult children that ‘they love us’ it is like we ‘finally know’ we have raised them right. Anytime you hear it, it warms your heart. Doesn’t matter the reason they said it. Sharon – My original SS card had my name as I ‘go by’; then a few years later; when I retired, they had to add…

Carol – I know that has to be hard on your son. It is so pitiful how people do things when they are not capable of ‘thinking right’. Drinking and/or drugs. The girlfriend will really have a hard time dealing with it. Especially if they had just broken up. My mother used to put ‘lemon juice’ on her salads. I had gotten to…

Lisa – You can get MFP to ‘reset’ your days. I don’t remember where it is; but, I had my reset at one point where I did not have service over a weekend. Also when I was out in Louisiana and did not have service. That time I had been writing down what I was eating; but, did not post my exercise although we walked every day;…

KJ – Sorry to hear about your friend; ouch that hurts, and so inconvenient. You won’t find me walking on my treadmill without holding on. Several years ago, I decided I would kick it up a number; had not been holding on, thought it would only go up 1 number like it does from zero through 25. It kicked up 5 points and I did…
