thank you. My sister had an appointment but had to cancel as that was the day she was readmitted to the hospital. She will get all the pro's and con's about surgery when she does see that doctor. We will be going to the lawyer to do our trust as soon as dh's mom's is finalized. We are just waiting for the lawyer to let us…

Ginny- sorry for your loss of your sweet cat. It is so hard but you did what was best for her.

don't his jeans get stiff drying them on the line?? I remember back home for a while we dried everything on the line on the patio-I HATED the feel of the towels and jeans- so stiff and itchy! I am super, super picky about the way clothes feel. I actually feel clothes before really looking at them when I buy them. All tags…

Just a quick check in- I have a LOT to catch up on. My power supply in my desktop died on Friday-just got a new one put in last night. Heading out to water/weed the back garden. Will read and comment more this evening. Debbie Napa Valley,Ca

Good morning ladies- Have a few minutes before my daycare girl gets here(woops, fewer than I thought but that is ok) Hope you all have a wonderful Friday- stay cool if you are in the hot states. looking forward to it warming up here before class tonight Just started a squat challenge on FB- need to keep up with it- 3 times…

Thanks for posting the new month thread. Talked to my sister last night and again just now. She still can barely talk above a whisper, just like when I went to see her almost 2 weeks ago, left leg is now swelling along with being numb, has a wheezy cough but the doctor there at the care home is pretty much just brushing…

I have a reusable water bottle that goes with me all the time too. Even take it to aqua zumba- get thirsty during the work out. I used to be terrible about drinking any water- just drank tea. There is something about this water bottle that I really like. I even take it when I go to bed-put it on the head board. Get thirsty…

my mother in law used to feed her dog so much people food. At least half of what was on her plate was given to the dog, no mater what it was. His food she would rehydrate his kibble but add canned food(both fine)BUT top with a few slices of cooked bacon, grated cheese and add chicken boulion to it. He lost 5 lbs in a few…

mapo/mobu tofu is ground beef(or turkey)cooked with diced up tofu with a spicy sauce. The one I made last night was a new one- mild, not much flavor at all. Will not be buying it again. I am sure son and his girlfriend added more chili oil to theirs as they like it a bit more spicy.…

We eat a lot of tofu- making Mapo Tofu tonight, use it in soups like miso soup or my version of pho, in stir fry, simmer it in teriyaki sauce, Many different ways. Never used it before but married to a Japanese guy, we use a lot. Son loves it- I have to add double in a recipe if I want any.

I love edemame- usually just boil them then eat them as a snack or shell them and put them on my salad.

love the video!! Because of our kittens(well, teens now that they are a year old), I have to keep one of my elastic head bands around the toilet paper so they can't unroll the whole thing onto the floor in shreds.

You can join your friend on the road with your cat. My friend does it all the time. She lives in AK but most of the year, especially winter months, she drives alone, except for her now two cats, used to be just one, in her Winnebego, all over the US, down to Florida, stopping along the way. One of the pictures she posted…

Dh retired early, at 52 for a few reasons. He had had 4 hip replacements and working 40hrs a week was really hard on him, he could retire because of a clause in their contract called 85 and out-yrs working for the company full time plus age. If it equals 85 you can retire with full pension and if you choose, you can go…

my dh used to constantly complain about the water bill because of my little garden. I told him, I barely spend any money on things for me. I don't spend any where near what he does on his toys and other hobbies- Basically told him to shut up. I spend less on zumba, church tithe, and what my garden costs than what he spends…

I am like you, I could save so much money if it weren't for dh. He has to have the super high speed internet, extra channels, etc I don't HAVE to be so careful with money like I did when I was single but I have always been this way. I love shopping around for bargains and do tend to save a lot more than I spend. I do find…

mom isn't in the picture- just dad and my two sisters and I. Mom is little like me- Older sister is the only semi tall person in the family. She is 5'8". Mom is 5'3, younger sister is 5', I am now a bit under 5'. Dad was 5'7 at his tallest but 5'3 when he passed away.

Last night I was going to go to my car to get something, came around the corner and there was a pretty SKUNK, eating the catfood dh put out at the garage door for the stray cats. Decided I did not need to go to my car that bad and turned quickly and went back in the house as the skunk ran under dh's car. Last weekend when…

I agree- this week especially didn't have many good deals- except on- Ramen/cup of noodles .10-limit of 24(very bottom corner in our ad).Picked up the limit-sharing with son and his girlfriend. We shop Grocery Outlets(we have two in town, two in the next town plus others close by), then Walmart and 168. Safeway just for…

I ordered a weighted vest, ankle and wrist weights- good for strengthening bones and weight loss. Have used the vest once, need to use it again- haven't been walking since I got it. Both the xray tech and my primary doctor said it was a great idea.

I wish the pool for class would be warm like that- We still are in the low 70's here- waiting for summer weather to show up. Hard getting out of the pool at almost 8PM and it is low 60's.

mom feels the same way- completely- it is very overwhelming for her, so much to do and not enough energy to do it or the want to. She has no plans on leaving the ranch and after she passes, is cremated, she will return to it and be buried next to my dad and the rest of the family that are there.

just a quick check in- I will try and catch up tomorrow- 4 pages behind as of now. Weekend went well with mom. Food program was good. I think we had about 120 families get food. Only had a few hours of sleep the night before after getting mom's late after aqua zumba and the drive up. She always naps after food program- we…

Beth, my older sister called me(she never calls) to tell me that mom told her she thought I was mad at her because I hadn't called. We had talked plus sometimes, actually often, when I call she doesn't pick up or call me back when I leave messages. I did talk to her and she kept saying how much she missed me and she was…

I wish you or one of the other ladies who are getting the great summer weather could send a bit to us. The high today is in the low 70's which is really nice, except for when we have aqua zumba in the evening. It is pretty chilly getting out of the water when it is in the low 60's at close to 8PM. (tonight I won't stay and…

Dh got everything done this morning. He was back home by 9:20. The cemetary is burying them today and they will contact dh when the headstone is placed. We will go that day. Dh didn't stay for the burial today. He would have been the only one there. The other three of us all had work today. He wasn't expecting them to do…

Annie- I hope you got some answers from your call about your rower. You should get what they say you will. You have every right to complain. I pulled my sewing machine out and started to sew on the blouse. For some reason, the instructions do not make sense to me. I did have the tv on so a bit distracted so first thing in…

so pretty!!!

For those of you have seen a few of us post about sandals called Dawgs- I just got an email with coupon code SUMMER making all of their sandals $20. Super comfortable- I have 6 pair in different colors in the Z sandal.…

dh has been complaining about the clutter in the living room. Said that is why he didn't sit in there anymore. Will see if that changes. I doubt it, now that he has a second room to hang out along with our bedroom-which he hasn't been in for a week or more. Woke up this morning and started feeding the cats like always, got…
