REQUEST FOR SOME HELP! Oh, I meant to ask y'all; do any of you put up 'jelly, jams, preserves, 'candied fruit'? The reason I ask is my DMnL used to make 'candied figs' and they were small once they cooked down. Both times I have put up 'figs' ... they have not turned out 'candied' like hers always did. I don't know what I…

WHEW!!! ... refreshing worked ... I 'thought' I had lost it; but it reappeared. gotu52 – Thanks! I love your pictures, I can ‘enjoy’ the snow right from my home and not have to worry about getting ‘out in it’. Carol – I’m sure you are talking about the Canadian Prime Minister … RITFLMAO!!! Barbie – I remember when I had to…

Pip – I did hear their reason … ‘they wrote the song in their shorts; and, agreed that ‘if’ they ever made it to the Grammy’s they would do the same thing’. However, I doubt they had on their Tux jackets on at that time. I wanted to see more ‘male’ skin. Not fair that the women had slits up to their ‘honey hole’ and DH can…

Dammit! [Not Janet!] Lost another post! I think I am 'losing my mind' today. Went to the library; and owed a few dollars in past due fees; so I paid by 'check'. Wrote it out, looked at it, I did not think it looked right; but ... I wrote the long hand section out as Three & 60/100th. I did not have a book in my checkbook…

Good Morning, Ladies You'll be happy to know that my responses I typed last night, except those that I posted, will just be saved to my WPP and not 'cut & pasted' here. It helped me 'journalize' my feelings and feeling like I had a 'chat' with each and every one of you individual - whether for a few minutes - or longer.…

:* - Nighty-Night, y'all!

OK - I am going to just post a bit of what I typed tonight. Will post the others in sections. I was really in a talkative mood ... wasn't thrilled with the Grammy's this year. IF they had a "Prince" music section ... I totally zoned through it. Sue and Katla – We enjoy blueberries, too. I, personally, found them to be an…

WHOOPS! I think I did it again … did not save my responses; but, that is “OK”. Like I said, probably something I should not have said. Pip – I guess I write long posts because I am ‘retired on a disability from a job I LOVED’. I miss the people I worked with. But, there again … I think things happen for a reason; and,…

Michelle – DOS would have been there in a heartbeat with y'all. He ‘loves’ racing. He will be glued to the TV set for Daytona 500. Yeah, Daytona 500 is a ‘festival’. I just cannot believe the raceway is right next to a busy highway. Sisters and SO/Hubbies have gone there for several years for a shared vacation. Middle…

Mia – Great leggings to wear to the “Red Hat Society” meetings and for Valentine’s Day. <3 Michelle – Me, too! And that is my ‘first’ stop – ALWAYS! K-mart in left back; Publix to the right and front of store, the few times I ever go to Wally-World … it is at the front of the store, a LONG way from where just about…

Allie – I agree with Katla; only the ‘person’ who wants change can make changes or be ‘happy’. There are a lot of things that others do that can make you ‘mad’ or ‘any other feelings’; but, you are ‘reacting’ not ‘changing’ him or anyone else. We are all on a ‘journey’ and like most of the ladies on this site we attempt to…

Paula Y – I grew up in a family and knew I was loved; but, neither parent (especially Mother) was very physically demonstrative. My Daddy was - up to a certain age, when he felt it was not appropriate for us to sit in his lap. I’m not sure I understood it, then; but I do now - that I am much older. We always got what we…

Marni – Prayers and {{{{{HUGS}}}}} for your friend’s granddaughter and for a full and speedy recovery. pitegny – Glad you liked the joke. He was basically daring me to do it; of course, I had to pay regular price for it; but, I had gotten tired of when I had to submit a check and my ID, having the person look at the…

Lisa – Prayers and {{{{{HUGS}}}}} for you and DH. I know what he is going through; I have pins, screws, and plates in my left arm (almost took it off in a wreck); and in my right heel and ankle. So much so that whenever I went to the office to see my former boss; and, had to walk through the ‘metal detector’ I would set it…

iamimagine and SGCFAb5320 - Follow the link above that Re posted to get to the current month (February) and make sure you 'bookmark' the month by clicking on the outline of a star (it will turn yellow); then when you log back in, click on the gray star between the bell and gear and a drop down list will appear and you can…

Joyce and Charleen - Not this last time I renewed my license; because I had to provide documentation in order to get it renewed; but, the time before it. I looked nothing like I did on the previous license and had been renewed by mail. Taking the old picture and weight from one I had done 5 years before that. My hair had…

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? (Updated) DONALD TRUMP: All Mexican chickens who cross this road will be sent back to Mexico! BARACK OBAMA: Let me be perfectly clear. If the chickens like their eggs they can keep their eggs. No chicken will be required to cross the road to surrender her eggs. Period. JOHN McCAIN: My…

canookie - I broke my tailbone at a 90° angle in, during cheerleading practice in PE. That summer I got pushed into the shallow end and broke it again. Both times I could not stand up. When I got pushed into the pool; thankfully, BF realized my head was under water and I was not getting up, so she came in and got me. All…

Joyce - There are days when I will use a spoon over trying to get 'anything' on a fork. Sometimes you can mash things like 'rice' in the tines; but, only if it is sticky. It just gets worse if I try to 'think' hard enough to concentrate on getting food on a fork. A sharp 2 prong fork is great when trying to cut meat; but,…

Karen – Congrats on new grandson. Sorry your grandson had breathing problems and was put in NICU. My DYS stopped breathing on me when he was about 16 months old. I had laid him down on his back and turned to get his diaper out of the dresser. Turned around and thought he had finally noticed the mobile hanging from the…

Marcelyn – Some people just don’t like the honesty of a child; they’d rather trample on their ability to be ‘honest’ … did not see that he was being anything but; … my DOS’s favorite ‘fast food’ was “Stuffy Fried Chicken” (Colonel Sander’s was “Stuffy”). Re – Don’t feel bad, hon … if I have 3 things (or more) to take with…

Joyce – Window World put in our windows on the glassed-in porch (all were special ordered because of size). In the process, they broke one; and, then came back out a week later and replaced it. We were extremely satisfied. Other than we might have ‘wanted’ to paint/stain the strips that hold the windows in; but, you can’t…

Becca – My boys have always been close; until DYS got married the first time at the age of 36. DOS’s wife really did not like her very much. No reason, except she was thin; DDnL#1 is a heavy girl. She never lost her pregnancy weight after giving birth to DMGD or DYGD. She’s been on so many different ‘diets’; but, won’t try…

Marcelyn – I was pulling for the Falcons; thought surely they had it in the bag; but, then the Patriots came out ‘fighting’ the last half. Hate to say it; but, they won the flip and they played it great. But, still sad. Pitegny – Interesting information. Louis and I are not card game players; but, will suffer through 8-1-8…

LOL!!! – I ‘used’ to be a ‘door slammer’; in some cases, still am … took after my Daddy, living in an old house, he did not think a door was ‘shut until it was slammed shut’. Front door stuck; so he’d slam it, walk through the foyer, through a set of French Doors, to the hallway, through dining room door, slammed both;…

Leigh – So how did you get the nickname of pitegny or pit? My Daddy always called me Dale; occasionally Jellybeans or Lean-O-Me. 1) Because I was a huge Dale Evans fan, 2) because it was my favorite candy as a child and Mimi always had a dishful, and 3) because as a child, standing in the front seat of the car (no…

Becky – Welcome! You’ve come to a great site with a lot of women who are in various places in their journey … and it is definitely a journey. We all try to encourage, give examples, vent, rant, rave, encourage, cry and just about all emotions ever shown. Marcelyn – Hope you enjoy the concert, even ‘if’ you are sick. I once…
