  • Went to edit my post and got a message: "You need the Vanilla Comments Edit permission to do that"…LOL…oh well I did drag my carcass to Walgreen for my insulin, traffic was too heavy to dart across the street to Sonic so made a right and went to Taco Bell….someone there isn't earning $20 an hour. Got no hot sauce tho I…
  • Love the reprieves we get. It's been about 5 years since I did dishes by hand, back before I got the new dishwasher. We thought my old one was leaking and it was my neighbor's bathroom, leaking into my kitchen when they took a shower! Now, I'd have to do them in stages like I do changing sheets on my bed. I do sit quickly…
  • Good morning! Yes it does! I love such things too…yet don't care to cook much just for me. I do love turkey and stuffing especially and will consider getting the wings and thighs this year from HEB, and some stove top stuffing. Our Meals on Wheels is in rather dire straights here, with help and donations being down. My…
  • He's a friendly but frowny reminder! It's on my list to do. I hear you on the restful yet productive day and it's possible to have both. I didn't get out yesterday so will see if I can manage to do it today. I really struggle with the walking/driving things so have to make me go out when needed. I'm always glad when it's…
  • Well that's weird….it showed up….after my nap. LOL…so it's a repeat mostly. I thought this was lovely!
  • Oh my! You have way more irritants than I do with mail! I've only had 2 episodes with deliveries…one a load of groceries and another, the night stand…both showed up as delivered but they weren't delivered to me! Both were resolved by replacement. I hope the insulin thing is resolved soon. Normally I only pay $105 each…
  • Ack…my post is missing! I had to google where to look for the password. It's on the bottom of my modem which is highly wired and hard to get to, hard to see…hence the magnifying glass and flashlight. LOL… I can't remember what all I said…mostly repeats of the rest VS pain thing yet I am feeling better with a lesser degree…
  • Oh my…I have had a really rough day…pain wise and otherwise…awake all night and no caffeine involved. Awake from 11 PM to 7 AM…. Having great pain but I did sit too long….have an insurance issue…my Dr. and Walgreens are on it. The sub for the Tresiba is 2069.79 w/o insurance so we know that's not happening. Sent messages…
  • Oh yes! Praising God for this report, Kim! Hoping this line of defense improves the pain as well as the inflammation. Quickly and with no tummy troubles. Yes to my stuff as well! God is SO good! I feel much better today, rested better last night and tho I was awake from 1-3 AM, I got up for real at 6 so was much better…
  • Oh wow! That's so frustrating. Give it a name and go on your merry way? Hope you get proper answers and good care…. I was in such sad shape today! Very fatigued, in a lot of pain, getting the trash out was a repeat of last week where I was so weak and struggling to breathe, that the 120 or so steps to the car and back had…
  • I agree…It's now $243 a month! Nobody else offers the land line phone (that I can hear), no one else offers cable…only streaming services of which I am still less than comfy with…there are other internet services but they are stand alone or offer the streaming? They push the envelope for sure. I still have Vexus dunning me…
  • I was back at 249 this morning. Sigh….I'm going to try a snack sized dinner….and see how I fare. Jeans…I don't think I've even had any since about 2001. I got the reminder text for my Optimum payment, due the 10th and they have jacked the price up another $34….Insanity! They give you pretend discounts then add more. They…
  • Good morning! I did manage to get a nap and get up at 6 AM…so am good to go. Our days have seemed to zip by of late! We are a week closer to Heaven. I thought of you when I saw this… One of my favorite verses and one I go to in my times of turmoil…now days, not working…I can lay down and rest, knowing His mercy carries me.…
  • Wow! How neat is that? I had neon and black skirt Tetras, pearl and gold Mollies and two Corydoras I named Sam and Oscar after guys I knew. I knew little about aquariums other than the fact I loved them. Well, that is good news. We much prefer simpler answers to our assorted issues. I'm up at 1:30…got up at midnight. I…
  • Prayers for a positive outcome on the Dr.'s visit and meds needs. I still do either Tylenol arthritis strength or the mix, 250 mg with 125 mg Ibuprofen added. I've been taking them only once a day of late which is an improvement. I am very happy for the relief I am having with the sit bone pain. Pain is about half of what…
  • What a nice outing for Wade's birthday! I'm glad you were able to go and enjoyed a nice breakfast out. I put my car on the list of things to do…like Dr.'s appointments….as far out as I can get. She needs a bath and clean out, oil change and fuel additive. We aren't required to do do the annual inspections any more so she's…
  • Yes indeed! May many be drawn to Him and saved in these last days. I had a rough night Friday…was awake all night so slept too much yesterday and was really achy. Hoping to get on track today. I rested better last night…and even tho the pain is still bad….it's to a lesser degree than it was so I praise God for that! I eat…
  • Oh I hear you! (and Wade)…you can sense if not see…the eyerolls of such customer service types. I had an ATT tech hang up on me once after a near argument about my need for service after a car wrecked the pole and took out my phone and internet…and I struggled to understand him on my cell phone. Told me I should get…
  • LOL….That's what I've heard it called as well…Toad in a hole. It wasn't a true hole, but an indentation with a glass. This is my first time to buy sour dough bread. I like it. And yes to the cheese! Here's my inane contributions…in pics: One….I got more wet, floppy, wilted salad…from HEB….I did a review…very disappointed.…
  • Bras: Back when I had injured both shoulders in the two falls on the ice, I found pull over, sports type worked well and that's all I use now. I got the last batch from Amazon. My first ones came from Walmart. Oh, I see things daily, on waking! The spiders are the most terrifying as I saw one, palm size once, crawling up…
  • I am trying to picture that idea, Kim! It's been a long time since I was "crafty" but I love it. We have 3 Dollar Tree stores here but I haven't been in one in over 2 years because of my hinky joints. I am actually improving, praise God! Any reprieve is much appreciated. Gift cards! I gave Sharon mine….I had one for the…
  • Yes, the weight was down again a bit…from 248. I've got things tidied up since the bug man comes at 1:00. While the pain is a bit easier to manage…it's still pretty extreme so adds a level of difficulty to my daily life….I know you…we all….understand that! I am feeling draggy as well….woke up at 2…got up at 4:30….look…
  • Good morning sweet Sisters! The truck is in Washington…you'd think they'd make note of that! I double checked my tag when I took the trash out! I too, hope my statement will be enough to get them to back off and hunt the real culprit. I am so very thankful for this new day…I slept well last night, got up at 4:30, have…
  • I'd be happy to see 200 again….and that's not lightweight by any means! I know I'd feel much better, have less pain and mobility issues….One can hope…always. I got notice of a camera ticket, supposedly me, speeding….in another state! And driving a black Ford pickup! Ack. I read online that it can affect MY license etc. if…
  • There was a time in my life that I could drink coffee until the cows came home…but since retirement, my 4 cups is more than sufficient and now there are days I do one mug or none. Diet sodas are a rarity and my tea…less than once a week. Last night was a really good one! I slept deep and solid, got up at 3 AM and am…
  • I had a rough night last night. I was down for 9 hours but only slept 3. It may have been the diet Coke I had with dinner? I haven't had one in many months and that was the only thing I did different. My back is screaming this morning so I need to work on that today….among other things. Glad you had a good night! I know…
  • Missy, you are in my prayers as well, sweet sister….for speedy healing, renewed strength, God's comfort and peace in the days ahead. Gentle hugs…. Thanks, Kim! It's been such a relief and real blessing! Ordering online, one isn't always sure of quality and comfort but this one checks all my boxes and I thank God for it. I…
  • Prayers for an informational, useful report from your appointment today. Hope too, that you get what you need for some relief. So glad the breathing was better for the day! Today will be day 6 since I've had my chair (well, at 5:30)…and I have a lot of improvement with the sit bone pain, the back pain is really extreme…
  • Thanks for the vote of confidence! I did knock off the canned soups from the shopping list for this week, as well as a few other items. I will make some soup or cook some beans when my back relaxes somewhat. I know the excess sodium messed with my fluid levels as well, causing an increase in the weight again. I will work…
