Michele... that is TOTALLY IT! I forget that I'm supposed to "lie" and can't come up with anything! Machka... I'm not good at being vague either. Ask anyone who knows me. I am up front, in your face. I just don't know how to do it. I never learned that one. Freddy is being very patient, trying to teach me. Well... back to…

cpblondie67... hope you didn't hurt yourself. Take time to heal before you go out and really muck things up THEN go out and play! Flea... I'm so sorry you're dealing with all that. Sending good vibes for things to turn around for you. We've been "exposed" as well. (I guess) I'm not 100% sure because I think we ALL had it…

Penny... LOVE your siggie! Yeah, Mom asked me the other day, quite sanely, if her mom was still alive. She really, sincerely wanted to know. It was so hard to decide what to do. For a split second I almost wanted to tell her yes, but I knew that she wanted to know the truth. When I said, "no", she said, "yeah, I think I…

Lanette, dementia is the WORST! I'm so sorry. My mom is going through that as well. Watching them decline is so sad. Sending love and prayers for your strength. Betsy, sending good vibes to you. drkatiebug a conversation about panties sounds right up my a**ey. HEY! What did you think I was gonna say?!? Karen in Virginia,…

@drkatiebug I'm sorry about your dad. Hope he heals soon and well. Yes, dealing with aging parents is really tough. @fanncy0626 Mary, we had a similar funeral experience but opposite as some friends had a pre-planned vacation for the same time as our son-in-law's funeral. We told them to go and when they came back, we…

Thank you for your thoughts ladies. @Whidislander, had I gone down on the driveway, bawling wouldn't be all I was doing. I doubt I would have ever gotten UP again!!! Mom is doing "fine", I guess... for a broken neck. smh. They did find her a TCU close to her assisted living apartment, which is wonderful. And it's a place…

Sure can tell what all y'all read on these posts. THANKS A LOT for all the comments regarding my mom... NOT!

Penny, so very sorry about your mom. Sending prayers for comfort and peace. I had thoughts of going through something similar myself this past weekend. My 92-year-old Mom fell and broke her neck! Geez, you hear about things like this, but think it could never happen to "you". It's not as critical as it could have been.…

B) Trying to stay chill while we're CHILLIN' in MN. Last day of Christmas vaca with the grands and we're all back to school tomorrow. Carla in Lakeville, MN

Very small world, Mary! We pass through Rogers every time we head up to Brainerd, which is quite often during the summer. Don't get up to Walker too often though! Yikes! We're in North Lakeville, immediately west of North Park (off Ipava & 173rd) If they're anywhere close, message me. It's really a "small town" and we've…

Thanks for the NEW start Barbie. Don't know what the year is going to bring, exactly. Going to take it one day at a time. Enjoying my job with the school district, working from home, loving my grands and kids and hubby and pooch, trying to take care of my health as best as I can for an overweight, arthritic, 60+ year-old.…

Hope everyone has a safe and joyous NEW YEAR'S EVE! <3

This is our Harley, all dressed up for Christmas.

Grands got sent home from school yesterday, with coughs and a HOME, rapid CV test?!? WOAH! Didn't know there were such things. DD compared it to a home pregnancy test. (with some obvious distinctions) Swab up both sides of the nose, dunk in the solution, open the testing "flap", close the swab inside and wait for "one"…

SIXTY PLUS years auntiebk!!! (I won't say exactly...lol) Mom and Dad bought the property the year before I was born. It was a shack-of-a-cabin then and they built it up. We went their every weekend during the spring, summer, fall and sometimes even in the winter, although their was no heat, but the wood fireplace! (and no…

Getting closer and closer to the end of an era. Went to Mom's old house yesterday and grabbed almost all of the rest of my "stuff". Dad's oak rocker, Gram's sewing cabinet, some pictures, figurines, the silver, crystal, ARGH!!! I hate this part. It means it's going to end and we're going to lose the house and the lake. I…

Baking pumpkin pies early this morning for our Thanksgiving at Lacy's today as they have plans with Nick's family tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating!

Happy Birthday Annie! Anne is our daughter's name and her birthday is tomorrow! Apparently November is a good month for Annes!

Vicki, I am so very sorry for the loss of your son-in-law. No matter the circumstances, it is always a shock. Sending love and prayers.

These are the ones I have. Love them! But, I will tell you, the headband style will not "cancel" surrounding noise. It will help and it will reduce "distractions" as you say. But if you need to "drown out" snoring or something like that, ear buds are a must. I liked these because they're specifically for sleeping and have…

Weekend retreat with my scrap-besties, complete with a bonfire! (that's me, taking the selfie... go figure!) And we did GET some scrap-work done too... sorta.

OMG!!! I really NEED this group, if for nothing else but the HUMOR of the title! THANK YOU! I'm minicooper452 aka Carla (in the real world), transplant from SP, trying to get a handle on this site. So far doing much better at tracking my food than I ever did at SP, so that's a plus. I'm truthfully a very positive person,…

Truly what I feel like lately...... I think I'm just overwhelmed by everything "going on"
