Kim-Thanks for gentle reminder about politics. I have to live much of it-this is my safe place! Tracey-great news on the go fund me. I have given up trying to explain families. Hope you get information regarding MIL soon. My family has always been laughers. My DH and sons used to say I had no sense of humor-other people…

Carla-prayers for you and family. Getting caught up with house work since work took most of my time this week. Have a project for the I need to finish by noon tomorrow. Focusing on house this am. Getting outside walk in. Should get everything done. Going to Columbus for conference tomorrow for a couple of days (which is…

Carla-prayers for you and family. Hope your cousin receives good treatment. Tracey-Hope MIL continues to improve. I don't think it unusual that the original doctor with the stents would say his work is still fine. If there is something off about what he put in all those years ago I wouldn't think it was necessarily a…

Lanette-I definitely think movement/exercise helps us in all ways. I have read in numerous places lately that for women 62-101, 7,500 is recommended. Key is consistency. Discovered that Dr. Google has information on such things. My foot is doing better with lesser steps. I have been doing mainly inside walks so far this…

Teri-glad your family made it through safely. We have tornado concerns where I live-it is incredible the damage the winds can do. Machka-did they provide crutches for your husband? Can you get a wheelchair? I had to be toe touch only for 6 weeks after a surgery once-it was a great core workout but very tiring. Allie-thanks…

MFP and are you human-that popped up my my screen briefly this morning and then disappeared-first time I recall seeing it. I figured they are getting ready to test some sort of MFA in response to bots? Machka-I do hope he doesn't need surgery for it. Allie-cute haircut. Glad you got a day off. If you have a habitat for…

Annie-good to hear from you. Don't feel bad about the medications. They have made a positive difference for my brother. He isn't "his old self" but he does connect much better and has decent sleep-which my SIL really appreciates! Barbie-good job getting things done. Rita-I empathize with you regarding DH. I had to use…

Barbie-I have found there were a number of those firsts. A deep breath and a bit of thought (or google!) ad I have figured each one out. It makes us stronger. Rebecca-your pen pal has a rather strange reaction. It doesn't sound like you were passing judgement on her views. I most definitely do not pay as much attention to…

Debbie-just a random thought-perhaps part of the foot dragging with DH is some emotions with the move of his mother? This is a major shift and as much as their relationship has been painful it is a major life change for him. Kylia-My quit date was 6/26/21. I used some of the lozenges but basically went cold turkey. I had…

Machka-congratulations on newest addition! Babies are wonderful. Barbie-good job moving through the attorney stuff. I remember wondering if I would ever make it through the "to do" list, and one was at a time it was done. That is great news about Annie adapting-she will be a great comfort. Allie-hard to believe Miles is…

Kylia-I like your kitten stories. It has been many years since mine acted that way-but at 15 they are slowing down. Rosemarie-very good deal with insurance and good use for found money. I can't imagine training a puppy! Carol-I walk the interior of my house when I can't get outside. 30 minutes or so of that is better than…

Kylia-I agree with others that your doc sounds a bit off. I hate when they only try to treat numbers and not people. Regarding vaccines: Pip-your current set up is about the only way I would have a trailer. I take it you are removed from the current fire dangers? Tina-I hope you and yours remain safe. There is so much…

Michele-I have similar hand warmers from Amazon. I put mine inside mittens. I don't like walking with hands in pockets-it's a good idea to be ready to disrupt the fall so I need my hands ready! Debbie-hope plans work for MIL-it sounds sensible. Tracy-I hate unexpected appliance/furnace repairs. When my husband and I were…

Well I had written a rather long post and thought I posted it and it is gone. That hasn't happened to me for a while. Will try to recompose tomorrow when I am more awake! Take care all, Ginny in Ohio

Attached is a picture of my yard/drive way. First is from this morning, second is after I shoveled it. My regular guy couldn't make it so I went out in two sessions and got it good enough! I paced myself for sure. When I was 50 I would have had it done in about 30 minutes. Today took me about 1.5. Don't feel much worse for…

Not sure how much snow we actually got. I don't think my neighborhood too bad-maybe 3-4? But rest of county must be worse-County has closed offices for day. All schools closed. It really does help I they can clear the roads without a bunch of people competing with them. With the wind drifting gets bad on county roads.…

Flea-accurate description of medicaid rules. Different states are more aggressive than some at recouping monies. It has changed a bit over the years-the spouse can keep house, etc. In the vast majority of cases the government just pays. Kylia-I live north of 70 (close to the northern county line). 70 cuts my county in two.…

Carol-glad to hear your husband is home. Hope healing continues. Heather-hope John's pension issue gets worked out-less money is never good. Debbie-good luck with MIL decision. While she may like it at home, bottom line is she will get better care in a facility most likely. While it is costly, it sounds like she has the…

Good morning all: While enjoy the holidays I do not like them in the middle of the week (at least while I am still working!) Took off the three days Christmas week (Christmas Eve and Christmas are holidays for us). Worked the three days we were open this week (covering for staff who were off). It's a quiet time to work and…

Carol-prayers for you and your husband-hope the stents do their job. I never really thought about them stopping doing their job. Hospitals can be mazes. Rosemarie-I try to do some sort of walking everyday. I do what I record as my "functional strength training (a series of stretches, etc. and usually finish it with around…

Good morning all: Enjoyed my Christmas thoroughly. Had good visit with Az family. DIL made excellent Christmas dinner. Thursday we went to Lost Dutchman State Park and did a shorter hike (2 miles in all). Thought of Rita-we checked out the cabins and I saw a camper for the campground hosts. My grand daughter was most…

Barbie-prayers and comfort. That is a kick in the chest like no other. He is at peace. Ginny in Ohio

Beth-I made too much to draw survivor benefits when DH passed. However, when I turned full retirement age (67) I was able to draw survivor benefits since I am still working full time. I was anticipating losing them upon retirement but I need to see how the Social Security bill passed last night will work. I have full…

Good afternoon all (at least it is here!). Busy week this week but am now on vacation for a week! We have a bit of snow going on but won't amount to much. I have been cleaning and packing. Will finish up tonight and in morning. Have to be at son's house by around noon tomorrow to watch GD. Son and wife going to Columbus…

Well you all have many more interesting things going on than I do! Ali-do what you think is best for you-just be sure to take care of yourself. Tracey-glad you sales end up decent. Pip-I like the new trailer! Ws planning on just taking carry on and underseat bag on trip to Phoenix since it will only be 5 days. Told son and…

Good morning all: So cheerful seeing the Christmas decorations. So far I have set out two of my Christmas gnomes. I also picked up some scented pine cones and have them sitting out in a Christmas tin. Plan on bringing more stuff up from the basement. Like Heather I will be putting out some of my lighted items (mainly…

Spent day with granddaughter and her mom. Was going to babysit while the parents went to OSU game. DIL was up all last night with food poisoning. I went up and stayed with gd until mom recovered - son went on to game. Sorry Ohio State lost, but it is just a game. Home now and getting my laundry finished and ironing done.…

Allie-I do like your haircut-I think it makes you look younger. Heather-hope things go well for Edie and her testing. Barbara AHMOD-After your comment I went back reread my comment and it contains a typo I meant to say I hesitate to speak up at times because I think it may be my fault-I like to carefully review my part in…

Michele-I think it depends upon the actual type of ablation. It has been a medical procedure for a number of years-it depends upon the type they are performing-they are constantly coming up with enhancements. I have several friends who have benefited from the over the years. I think sometimes I don't speak up because I am…

Good morning ladies: Slept in until 4:30 (progress for this week!) Like several of you, comments I am thinking have been made! Lisa-sorry to hear you are having a set back. Hopefully the spell does not last long. It seems like the space between them is getting longer. Tracey-the plates are cute! Sorry you didn't sell…
