Happy birthday to your son!! He is about 8 months younger than my son. Hope he enjoys his day. Barbie- hopefully this will be the last surgery for him. Good that he has people that can drive him.

no we still haven't found anyone- she hasn't demanded it lately(doesn't really need it, just wants someone there to complain to). She did totally fine all on her own for the full day- Even bragged about getting her meals and snacks by herself, etc.

The big reason we drove an hour to do that show is because the table fee was low- at just $35 but mainly because I was really hoping to see many friends and then go see my mom. If dh hadn't gone with me, I would have spent the night with her and got a lot more time with her. The same thing with the one next month. 15min…

thank you. This time, it wasn't MIL's fault. There is something wrong with the phone line- lots of static, rings once then disconnects. He did go over last night and then this morning and she was actually ok. First time she hasn't caused a big fight the day after he does a show and doesn't go over to her house twice each…

Thanks Tracey!! it went well- it was a very small show. Just over 20 vendors. We made almost $300 for a 4 hr show. This was their very first one. The best part was all the old friends I got to see- at least 7 of them, including my BFF of well over 50 yrs. We did stop at mom's but that was a very quick, 30 min. stop. Dh was…

my dh was just talking about this but in regards to to home owners insurance. His mom just got her new policy and it went from $1100 a year to $2700 a year. He talked to the agent we go through(not the same company as his mom), just to see if this was normal to jump that much when they say they can only go up like 32% in a…

Had to put the rain coat on to walk the wetlands today. Wasn't raining hard so went ahead and walked. Only a couple other people out walking and that was just at the beginning. Over 3/4 of the walk I was the only one around that I could see.

I am blessed to be able to hear my dad's voice when ever I want because a few years back, a reporter did an interview with mom and dad about their life/gardening/etc. It is so great to be able to both see and hear him again. The video of it is on YouTube

been behind reading for the past week. Just got caught up. Not much new going on- so far this week, no real drama with dh and mil- that is great. He did message me to say she keeps asking if the money she inherited(FINALLY got the call that all the paperwork and multiple trips to the consulate were accepted) was in her…

If it is from a Ramen shop, I am assuming it is from China/Japan/etc. Their clothes tend to run smaller than usual and a lot smaller around the middle. At most, I wear a XL but in bathing suit I bought online from an Asian company, had to get a 4X and that was snug- no room for hips or boobs in it.
-
haha- he has a couple of those too. Always looking to upgrade but keeping the others because they work perfectly. The other thing he does the same with is 3D printers. He did give one away to a co-worker that was interested in starting out. Dh doesn't really have room for more but that didn't stop him from ordering the…

vacuuming is one chore I don't have to do because dh is obsessed, seriously OBSESSED with vacuuming- He has 4 lined up in the hall way plus others around. He vacuums daily, including with the regular ones(all cordless), hand held and the little Ryobi that he uses in the catios and in my bathroom because of the litter…

I have our first local craft fair in two weeks. I am concerned about how well it will go. It is their first one. Table space seems very small compared to the other shows we have done- just one 6ft table that is against the wall so no way of adding an extra table behind it like we do at other shows. The table fee is quite a…

just checking in- a bit behind on reading. Not much new here. Still too much drama with dh and his mom- so tired of it. Still dealing with my asthma. Starting week 6 of a minimum of two nebulizer treatments a day(sometimes three, when needed).Just picked up my third refill. Meeting an old classmate at the Mexican…

Hope you were able to find the chicken in the cooler. I think they have either moved them in our store to a spot I haven't found yet or discontinued the ones in the cooler. They are in the hot case for $5.97 but the place they were in the cold case doesn't even have a tag for them now. Was very disappointed. Thought it was…

Or the ones that warn you not to take the medication if you are allergic to it. They actually have to warn people to not take it. No common sense in some people I guess.

do you notice that the men sending the friend requests are almost always men in military uniform? If you click on their page- they have only a few pictures but no real posts and their friends are usually middle age or older women.

Annie- my mom still gets weepy at little things, missing my dad. They were married 65 yrs(just a few months shy-his celebration of life was on what would have been their 65th). 12/30 will be 4 yrs since he passed away. No time limit on a grief that big. She struggles to keep up with everything on the property pretty much…

Good luck with your sale. I have one that day also. I am not sure if I am going to do it by myself(hoping I will) or if dh is going to go with me. It is close to mom's so I could stay the weekend with her. I also have one in Dec. Hopefully they will both be worth the time. The first one the table space is very small so…

was the spam call from someone wanted to know if you had diabetis or needed a cpap? We got the call at 6AM and again at 8am yesterday- saying they were with CVS. Told them they woke me up but they kept talking.

we will be having our 45th reunion next summer/early fall. I will start planning it in the next few months. Many of us have also gone to the same schools throughout our childhood- Some were friends because of our parents even before we started school. It is fun to get to catch up with all of them. Thankfully many are on…

Had a good, productive time at mom's over the weekend, got home at 9 this morning. Shopped with dh-(oh has he been a joy-NOT)has a pissy comment to every single thing I have said since I got home. He is very resentful that I was gone for the weekend- I go to mom's one weekend a month if that. He took a nap for most of the…

Vicki- Wow- what a shock. I am sorry your are going through that. Hopefully you can find something fun work wise to get you through those few years. That is what dh is doing- he has one year before he can pull SS so just trying to keep getting hours until then. MIL has been complaining about her stomach for quite a while-…

she really is something. I have never met a person so hateful and mean, especially to her own son when he does everything for her and there is no one else that is around to help at all. Only other family she has is a niece who lives in Osaka,Japan(she wants to "help"her, AFTER she gets her name on all the bank…

I am very ready for a bit of cooler weather. It is 4pm and it is still 97 degrees. Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter(record high possible) So many things that I should be doing but don't feel like doing any. Some will have to be done by this evening(baking for the potluck at church tomorrow)> Also have a pile of laundry to…

I will take some pictures and post of the catios. My mother in law demanded that we hire help because she said my husband wasn't doing anything/enough for her(he is there twice a day every single day for at least an hour but usually 2-3 hrs each time) plus does all her shopping, bill paying, takes her to her appointments.…

Machka- I LOVE Butchart Gardens. I have been a few times. Getting to see it at night was amazing. Would love to go back. Had my first try at using a drop trap to catch a stray/feral cat and I succeeded!! Was easier than I expected. I guess all those hours watching cartoons as a kid payed off. I caught the mom of the…

Welcome Michelle- This is an amazing group(minus the one troll that popped up yesterday). You will learn some great tricks but also get so much support. Cute pup. What part of AL are you in? I lived in Mobile for a while many years ago and had a great time. Miss the food and the beaches (favorite was Dauphin Island)and our…

Hope you can get into the dentist soon and get that taken care of. I totally understand what you mean on finances. We too are doing ok but they took dh off the schedule for two weeks so no pay check coming in from that then added expenses keep popping up- new tire for my car(second one in a year)both from pot hole/road…

It is still almost 100 here- we are sweating(no AC) in tank top and capris. Skipping class tonight and walking tomorrow. No school Friday so wouldn't be able to walk even if I wanted to. I need to pick up two meds- think I will just let dh get it while he is at work there. Nebulizer meds and cough meds. Time for another…
