Rebecca-did they test fir what sort of mold present? That may be useful information for you. It looks nasty-can't believe they let it go so long. Debbie-I was fortunate, my husband was pretty good with boys-he got even better when they hit around 2. and weren't as dependent upon me for meals (I breastfed youngest until 3…

Okie-you speak truth

Rita-technically it ends the streak but you have said you believe you are co-dependent more than alcoholic and if that is the case it won't matter. Do what you think is best right now. If it turns out it is a problem for you, you know you can go without. My only concern would be if alcohol mixes with the medications but I…

Heather-I saw protocol changes in the two years between my two hips, I think I was back to driving at the 4 or 5 week mark. Pain levels vary. I remember 2 week of decent pain (appreciated pain meds) then it toned down. Movement afterwards is good. Being in decent physical shape ahead of time is also helpful. Having the bed…

Lisa-I think discussions to make sure you aren't overlooking things are helpful. It seems at least one person in this group has had experience with most things! Beth-taking one thing off you list to make is one way to control calories in! And yes, I did find their approach overkill. Also-I would have to move (or have…

Thanks for feedback. I am getting a second opinion for an egress window-that will add value to house and make basement usable for bedroom, etc. Will also finish mini update on downstairs bath (paint cabinets and retile shower, add new shower head). In terms of drainage I will have son move large workbench out from wall so…

Terri-it's nice the family will get to celebrate two things on Easter. Has his birthday fallen on it before? I have a nephew whose birthday is December 25-he has always shared it! Tracey-your craft room is a great use of space! Heather-when my hips were going stepping over the tub to get in for a shower was almost…

Lisa-thanks for information. That is actually one I was checking out (need Mac compatible). Always feel better of someone I know has used one! Margaret-Thanks for sharing your experience. I am in a similar position-I just wanted to make sure. I have never had gutters or downspouts replaced (so they could be close to…

Machka-it totally makes sense you may have grieving on anniversary times, Some years my wedding anniversary or the death of my husband hits hard. While Rowen is still here that accident ended part of your lives-of course you miss that. Lisa-what type of scanner did you get? I have a basic printer/copier/scanner and it does…

Glasses-last fall I got two pair of no line bifocals (progressive lenses) and it was around 800 for both together. I got moderate priced frames. I bought them from America's Best-they offer the two pair for a special price. It does sound like our friends in other countries pay more. Allie-I have a Samsung 43 inch ty in my…

Carol-prayers for you and your husband. That is a very tough decision to make. The doctor who was with us when I made decision for husband told us there are some things worse than death and we knew what he meant. It is heart wrenching but also a release. Ginny in Ohio

Pip-nice camper. Notice that there is a king bed for you and Kirby and a fold out for the kids-or do they get the big bed? Your leg mad me hurt. Take care of that burn.

Pip-hope you can enjoy trip even with the cold. Kylia-sounds like weekend was what you needed. Annie-nice for you to know your Dad's driving isn't bad. He may get lost but not in a wreck! Heather-I hope you can get a formal medical opinion before cancelling everything. You need to do what is best for you. I hope John isn't…

Slowly getting things back to normal in my house. Will finish washing all the blankets tomorrow. Have trash out, cooked dinner. Picked up prescriptions (yes, UTI still around). Will try the last script I have then might go to Minute Clinic if not resolve. Want to take time off Wednesday to see cottages at the Community I…

Heather-it is at least good they are getting a diagnosis together for you. Lisa-most of the office staff at doctor's offices really don't know what they are saying. Kylia-sorry for the miserable time. Putting it into perspective with your husband's overall condition was wise. One of the the things we can do is help them…

Good morning all: Sitting here catching up on reading while everyone is sleeping. Family arrived safely Saturday afternoon. Got beds arranged when back to house. DS and DIL in larger room with GS on mattress in there. GD in my room on mattress between my bed and dresser. It all works out. Had dinner with other son, DIL and…

Debbie-I hope you have a happy birthday even though it isn't what you planned. Heather-your appointments are moving along nicely now. Home for the day. Will do bits of work off and on while kids are here (they will be on Arizona time) so I might as well keep some emails cleared, etc. Right now I am packing up some more…

Rita-nice improvement on numbers! Michele-this is a random thought but with your callous-have you had a CT scan? I only ask because when I had mine it showed a foreign object (piece of metal) on bottom near big toe. PT asked if they were going to operate. Podiatrist said no because it doesn't seem to be causing me…

Almost forgot-texted Kylia-haven't heard back-but she goes in spells where she is busy with family in evenings. Plus their business will be gearing up for spring.

Wow so much going on since I last checked in! House is coming along nicely. Still some disarray-need to get some stuff to Goodwill, taking boxes to recycle, put some things in basement. Pretty much exhausted tonight. Don't remember if it was Rosemarie or Lanette who asked about kids moving back here. Yes they have…

Barbara AHMOD-glad you enjoyed recipe. I have one for beef and for pork (variations). I have discovered I like Balsamic vinegar. April-hope heart issues get work out. Heather-I think you took the most sensible approach. Patience is hard. Lanette-my first thought was that the Norton email was spam (I get them often and…

Machka-hadn't considered they could be bots. I just delete them because I think they are jerks . . Heather-sorry appointment is postponed. I was thinking about your 32 week wait time for surgery. It can take near that here. We aren't on a waiting list-we are following the protocol insurance requires. So you get and x-ray,…

Tracey-I have no doubt you will get a good grade. That part of the Northeast does live quite close to the edge. Where I lived in northern Maine, hunting wasn't a sport-it was feeding your family all year long. Gardens were a necessity. Allie-I think Tracy can wait until she is 20 weeks along to find out sex-I wouldn't pay…

Rosemarie-they will not take the house while you are still alive. You need to have some pretty specific language in your deed to keep them for getting home after your death. Your child being your caretaker typically doesn't change that. Estate recovery is very complicated and may vary a bit from state to state. It is set…

Heather-your symptoms do remind me of my hip issues. The protocol in England seems to be similar to the US. If it is your hips, they may first try cortisone injections and physical therapy. The injections are not painful and helped me greatly. They bought me some time for each hip. There are also other issues (like a torn…

Taking break from them last couple of days-knee is acting up for some strange reason. Ginny

Annie-I found it at Meijer's-don't know if they are in Delaware. I have not seen it at Kroger. Looks like Amazon sells it in quantity-like a minimum of a gallon or 4 bottles. A quick google search has it showing up at Walmart.

Tracey-so sorry to hear about Covered Bridge. I didn't realize you were from potato country. I got to experience that when I lived in Presque Isle (Aroostook County). I was a bit north of your home town but it is beautiful country. Your home town isn't part of the St. John Valley is it? Annie-your talk of Cole slaw got m…

Drkatiebug-my hair started doing that prior to covid. Hormonal changes can impact hair. Too bad that isn't the worst side effect of menopause!

Good morning all- Had very good sleep last night-it was wonderful. Have a busy weekend getting final things ready for kids. Mainly getting rid of some stuff I haven't bothered getting to Goodwill or recycle-easy to put that stuff off until "later" when you live alone. I mainly want to make sure back room (which has turned…
