I wish there was a "laugh" button too, Beth! Lisa, there are just way too many of those VA stories! Sickening! I'm so very sorry Kim. I just don't know what else to say. Prayers for your peace and comfort and your family. So today's Anne's first football game! The weather is gorgeous, for April in MN. Thankfully, since…

Vicki, bummer about your flagpole! I've heard about the winds in NE! Hi Pam, welcome! Hi Lanette, welcome "back". I use my phone for everything (except work and this) and I also keep it next to my bed. I have it on "do not disturb" at night so I only get calls from the people I have set to "important". But it's my alarm…

Must remember this>>> “…just trying not to be More”

OMGosh Rebecca... That JD tractor brings back so many memories too. How darling. Lisa, I just have nothing to say! I can't even begin to imagine what you're dealing with. Well... I know what Anne deals with, so I have an idea, but only an idea. I'm so sorry. Our VA system, Heather... ARGH! Barbara, that's what I wonder. He…

Good luck Betsy! Baby steps. YOU GOT THIS!

Congrats to your son, KJ! How wonderful for him. Sounds like you had an amazing day. OMGosh Allie! I'm absolutely certain my Uncle Leigh knew him then. They went to all of the Chosin Few events all over the state, but several all over the country as well. They were all very young. We had Harry Burke speak to our MoMs group…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!! Mid-40s, Allie, that's so sad! I'm so sorry. And I'll pray for Tom....... and Homer. God Bless Uncle Winslow. They're a rare breed. Uncle Leigh is gone now; just last year. Rebecca, I have a lot of pix that look very similar!!! Yes, we have quite the background and proud of it too, as you are. Of…

TOTALLY blanked out that it was April 1st yesterday and posted on the old thread... smh. Here's what I said...Rebecca, you and Athena are two peas! "Like a fish in a shark tank!" That's hilarious. I just can't get over that map. It's amazing. My FIL was a Chief too. God Bless him. Daddy served in the Navy as well. Cousin…

Rebecca, you and Athena are two peas! "Like a fish in a shark tank!" That's hilarious. I just can't get over that map. It's amazing. My FIL was a Chief too. God Bless him. Daddy served in the Navy as well. Cousin retired as an Army officer. Bro is a Marine vet and my uncle was one of the Chosin Few. Still gives me chills…

REBECCA!!! You just MADE MY DAY! <3 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (you know what I mean) And what a COOL map. Ginny, so glad you got what you wanted... then and now! Barbie, love that sign. God was watching out for hubby, Lisa!!! Carla, just chillin' (literally... it's so cold here) in MN

Rebecca, don't know if you've caught it along the way, but I'm a Marine MoM. She's a vet now, but once a Marine, always a Marine. Once a MoM, always a MoM. She did her contract and was out. I'm still in our support group too. We help the newbies navigate their way through Boot and AFT/ITB, MOS and into the fleet. What a…

THANK YOU for sharing that Lisa! Kim, that's hilarious! Those "Marks" are the worst. Yeah, We call'em "Christys" in our family. That was our son-in-law's sister. She was the epitome of narcissist and you woulda thought the entire funeral revolved around her! Welcome Kama! What a glorious name. So interesting. Beth, THAT is…

OH D*** Betsy, I feel terrible for you having to deal with Mark. I can totally understand your anger. Really. I'm angry for you. I have so many words I'd like to say right now, but you don't need to hear that. DON'T ALLOW him to come if you don't want him there and make sure you have support in that. I'm glad you have your…

Sending hugs Debbie

OH Betsy... I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers for comfort and peace. We are all here for you for whatever you need. I'm sure you're in shock and people will try to surround you. Take your time. These next few days will be a whirlwind and you'll be numb. Try to find the most trusted "someONE"…

Rebecca! I'm coming to your house for dinner! YUM! Pip, that is wonderful news! Nanacutler, so glad Maisie is behaving. Good Girl. Oh Tracey, I'm glad. Still praying for them and I'm sure they're still in shock. Yes, we're resting comfortably. LOL. OMGosh... the wonderful thing about them is, they're finally at the age…

Nanacutler, Doberdane! I just knew Maisie HAD to have Dane in her! We had a Great Dane grandpup years ago. What a sweetiepie! Omgosh. They think they're freakin' lapdogs. Puppy is right. Gauge was a gorgeous Harlequin. Maisie looks to be a Merle Dane. Her coloring is beautiful. Ava looks to be taking everything is stride…

I'm so sorry Lisa. Anne had one of those too. Just out of the Corps and she'd saved almost everything she'd earned while IN, and that jacka took her for just about everything she had while telling her that it was in "their" best interest to spend her money here and there and blah, blah, blah... SO glad we're well away from…

:D

Katla, I am so glad you were able to get into the doctor and found one you liked! So darling Rebecca! Cute stuff. Pip, I feel for you. Don't know what else to say. Haven't been in your position, but I feel for you. I'd be a "JUST TELL ME" kinda gal too. OMG Michele, I haven't heard Tfal in eons! HATED that stuff. What a…

Machka, congrats on the grand baby! Katla, so glad your daughter is coming to help out. OMGosh Karen all I can think of is "PINK... is my SIGNATURE culoh" (head flip) They look AMAZING! WOOHOO Charlene!!! WTG! I'm so sorry Alexandra. Relax and try to sleep and get better. Hi Luanne! This group is great. This thread is…

Eddie Van Howlen is adorbs, Cheryl! Glad your daughter could make you feel better Katla. So sorry you had yet another scare. Good luck at your appointment. One day at a time. Sending love! Tracey!!! Another cardmaker! YAY. I'm in a 4-week challenge right now and I'm so excited. It's really got my juices flowing again,…

Actually grandmallie, Dunkins is everywhere! Has been for several years. Good luck on her new job! We love having Dunkins in MN although most of us will never go anywhere other than Caribou which is a home grown, MN company and only has a couple store thrown about in the most odd places in the rest of the US. WOAH Heather,…

Katla, wondering where you live and if you have problems with the suction cups "sticking". We're in MN and obviously the cold wreaks havoc in the winter, but I've even had problems in the summer with them not sticking for the duration of the season. I was so disappointed.

Michele! That's wonderful news. Congrats to Jess. Good luck, Pip! Such great news! Yes we are, Barbara! Thanks. We love to be together. We just usually have lots of noise and other things going on around us. Who knew that we could still just sit and talk, in the quiet darkness?!? So sorry, Katla. Sending healing vibes to…

Pip!!! You look AMAZING! Good to see you up and moving! Not WARPED at all. LOL. Tracey, I would so LOVE to unplug from the world. Been thinking about that a lot lately. Maybe this summer sometime. Carla, in MN

Tracey, those decorations are amazing! Michaela is precious! Katla, have fun with the pups! M! Love your "in my control" pic. Shared that on my FB feed to keep it in my mind. Well, we had an interesting night last night. We were without power for about 2 1/2 hours ... no idea why. Heard a couple claps of thunder, some…

Holy crap on a cracker is my line too! PIP, WTHeck? And they took pix? Did you ask them to do that? WOAH. Prayers that it was benign and just happened to be HUGE. Sending love and thoughts to everyone needing them today. I've tried to read through everything, but my brain is quite tired today from just a lot of things and…
