hope everything is going ok- miss your posts Karen.

thanks- sent a friend request to Lanette.(found that the other message I sent to the wrong person-some other random Lanette will get it)

I don't see any messages from you(or anyone for that matter)- It should be where the bell is, right?

Think I messaged you- let me know if you got it, if I did it right

Lanette B) Thank you for this- I really need to remind myself daily of this and so much other wisdom that has been shared. THANK YOU ALL!!! Dh hasn't changed his habits that irritate me in the last 27yrs, they have gotten worse(married 31 yrs next month) even though I have asked for simple changes. I am not at the point of…

If you are thinking about getting an air fryer but not sure- get one of the smaller/basket types. She how you like it. That is what we did. Wore two of them out before upgrading to the one with two trays. On our second one of that type. Ours is used pretty much daily. From heating up left over pizza(it is great) and fried…

Barbara- giving her a bath was pretty easy. She was just looking around. I did hold onto her while we both shampooed her. At least she is the only one that really needs a bath. In the past, we have had to flea bath ALL of them. The smallest one was the hardest to keep in the bath. The biggest thing is having the water temp…

dishes done and put away, tomatoes tied up and actually found 4 Cherokee Purple that were ready to pick- should have been picked a few days ago- Will enjoy a BLT tonight with them. That is my favorite and look forward to the first one each year. Nothing better than home grown tomatoes. Also picked some cherry tomatoes-ate…

Maybe you can get a little nap later(if you are a napper, I am not) I told myself I wanted to sleep until 9 this morning. First day to sleep in in well over two,close to three weeks. Have been getting up about 7 to walk each day(and up at 4 last Saturday with mom) Nope- up a few times around 3, 5 and 6 then totally awake…

the last part is my biggest downfall- I have never been one to speak up for myself. I hold it all in and am miserable. I need to find a way to start speaking up and not worry so much about the outcome. It will not change if I don't start speaking up.

HAPPY FRIDAY!! Hope you are all having a wonderful day and have a fun weekend planned. Ezie's mom told me today that we will be cutting back to the two days a week starting this coming week, so, I am off until Thursday at 12:15

Our old neighbor moved up there to Mt. Vernon and my cousin and her husband both teach there. Would love to do a road trip up that way again.

Thank you. I saw that posted months ago and printed it up.It is on my computer desk door. It has gotten covered up. Need to see and follow it more. It is perfect. I know I will not get any kind of compassion/attention from him when I am not giving any to him. After so many years of not getting any, it is hard to show it to…

Hope you have a great time at the stampede- nice to get away for a few days I am sure. Wow-lots of cars. My first thought was- lots of insurance!! (we have 4 so know what we pay.)

Thanks again Lisa- I do understand what everyone is saying and I do really appreciate the insight. I too want to find a little happiness. I am working on doing things for me. When I had to go to MIL's every day, on the drive over I would say this prayer: " God, please do not let her bitterness get into my head and my…

Mom has shade cloth over one section of the chicken yard. Most years, she also has gourds that grow up and over to give them even more shade. Not going to help you this year but next year, maybe try planting something that will grow up and over at least part of it, even if it is green beans(those are safe for the chickens…

Flea- thank you for your insight. You are totally right. I need to stop complaining and just figure things out and see what I will just deal with and what I am no longer going to put up with. I have found that the more I do things for myself and not depend on him to enjoy things with, I am happier. My walks at the…

I would love to cook for you and anyone else that wants to come by. It is something I really enjoy. I like to try new things, dh is ok with some things but he grew up on totally different food than I did. I am actually cooking a lot more different than I grew up with too. Dad was like your dh, not much of any spices at…

[quote="auntiebk;c- Debbie how does cutting back the daikon help get bigger ones? Today’s (8/10) gratitude: that I recognized the smell of propane when I went in the kitchen to refill my tea. The adzuki beans had boiled over and put out the flame. They’re in the crockpot now… Time to get up and do PT, Later, lighter,…

Ended my day yesterday at just over 22,000 steps/ten miles -two hour long walks plus an hour of zumba. Today will just be a 45 min walk with MIL's dog- won't get a lot of steps in with Kobe. That boy stops to pee, or try to pee every 20 steps it seems. Taking my car into the shop for the 30K service. Having our mechanic do…

Lisa and Allie Kylia, Lynette, Carol and Annie- THANK YOU- I know, it is up to me to make the move. I have been putting money aside for years. Accounts in my name only that he knows about and another bigger one that he doesn't know about, along with cash here at the house Small changes are already happening. Thank you for…

Tracey- so sorry for the terrible news. Prayers for comfort for all of you

I really wonder why I bother some times too!!! I used to cook and wait for him before I would eat but after a while of telling him it was ready and 15-20 min. later, he still was in his room or out side or what ever, I stopped doing that. I cook and let them know it is ready. If they don't come to get it and I want to eat,…

I made the Swiss steak, mushroom gravy, red potatoes and cucumber salad yesterday. I was the only one that ate any of it. Offered it to dh tonight. He said he wan't hungry. Less than 5 min later, I went in his room and he is eating cherry Poptarts!! Seriously- just shake my head at that man.

I know the feeling- we don't even watch one show together anymore. He comes in and goes directly to his room(can't call it an office as he doesn't do "work" stuff in there. He watches tv or works on a hobby or two(3D printed stuff or other electronic stuff) and I am in the living room. We don't even eat together. We go…

dried beans just take longer to cook the older they are

We decided to try all the different meats in the tacos- she forgot one which we are fine with-it was the lengua/tongue. Three of us eating, $32 for all of it and we came home with more than half. I was full after the second one- the fish and the shrimp are $2 each, the others ( steak, chicken, carnitas, chorizo, pastor,…

very windy and cool this morning. Slept in an extra hour beings I knew it was going to be cool and don't have Ezie today. Walked 4 1/2 miles. Going out for lunch with dh and his friend who is back in town from China. Taco Tuesday so going to try the $1 tacos. Looking forward to trying a few different ones- they have 6…

Dh did the same thing(he works for a grocery store)- retired at 52 because he got in on their 85 and out clause(age plus years work equal to 85 and you can retire with full pension). He took 5 1/2 months off-he had to go back by 6months. His restrictions are monthly- no more than 63 hrs a month. They lifted the…
