Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Very cool bed for Athena! I would have loved something like that when I was a kid. I'm so happy for you, Katla. That's what I like to hear. Wishing you more good days. Kim, I agree with calling the doctor to see if there's another medication that he can…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. That knife case is really cool, Pip! The whole display is wonderful. I'm sure Kirby is very pleased. Scary how they grow up, huh Kylia! She is beautiful. I hope she had a great time. Kolten will be 13 in a couple weeks too. smh. I'm so sorry Terri. As you…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. HAPPY FRIDAY!!! 24. Appreciate your hands and all the things they enable you to do... they're my life! Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Oh no, Debbie, I am so sorry for Destiny and her family. She's been such a shining star throughout this whole ordeal to have this crop up. How horrible for her. I'm sending my prayers. Really wonderful dinner with my dear friend Cheryl last night. We get…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Miss Pip, your poor puppy. Give "her" (sorry, idk) big hugs for me and Harley. "We" just donated. That is SO COOL that Kirby was able to have that knife restored! It looks awesome. Oh man, Allie, I am so sorry. That would be tough to watch. Glad you have…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. How wonderful for you, Allie! You deserve the best. Enjoy! That's really fascinating, Machka! Good luck to you. I'm sure they do things like that here too, but I'm not familiar with any of it. Thank you for reminding me of that, Barbara, because YES... all…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. So glad to see you back online, Katla! I'm so sorry, Allie! Another one. I love aquariums too, Miles!!! Tracey, you are so right. They are all FUN and HAPPY men and there are so few of them. Rich will definitely be missed. The boys are really having a tough…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Machka, absolutely LOVE raspberries! Laughing is good for your soul (and your gut) Allie!!! Pix look just great Heather! Happy Mother's day! Had such a wonderful time at nephew's yesterday. Not all family showed up, but lots of good food and my kids and…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Had a wonderful day at school yesterday. Don't know if I shared this with y'all, but I've started buying chocolates and handing them out on Fridays during passing time. I started around Halloween treats, then kisses in different flavors. I found some…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Again Heather, I am SO jealous of your coastal SPRING! I'd give just about anything for a glimpse of green right now. (and not St Patrick's Day green, thank you! lol) OMGosh! I would LOVE being a zookeeper! Being that close to a lemur. I'd just die. I would.…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Heather, I understand what he was laughing about. I just made me angry for you that he would laugh at you wanting to know that you wanted to be able to take care of him. But if you can't make him understand that, then yeah, leave him on the doorstep and let…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Sorry if this is too personal, Heather, but what's his deal? I mean aren't you supposed to be partners? That he would laugh at you about something as serious as the cost of his care... that could easily bankrupt you is incorrigible. I'm sorry if that's rude.…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Oh man, that's one good looking stud there, Allie! And I think he knows it. Had a great meeting with a bunch of the ladies who do my job in neighboring districts. I trained several of them on how to do aspects of our job that they're new to and others added…

(((hugs))) to those who need them. Not much new or different today. Really busy this morning, so I ran out fast. Skimmed everything... I think. Love you all! 13. Pause to watch the sky or clouds for a few minutes today... just about every day, whether it's gorgeous or not. The sky just fascinates me. Love and Blessings,…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Oh Katla, I'm so sorry that your kids are sick. You'll get everything worked out eventually and we'll always know who you are. I just don't understand the parents who don't teach those 20-30 year-olds work ethics, Rita! I mean, it has to start somewhere. I…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Aren't those the best, Debbie!!! Freddy doesn't hug "well" and I am a hugger! Geez, it was great to get a really good hug... TWICE! I also have a cousin that. She's just a sweetie and we're such good friends. We used to live close enough to see each other…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. OH I love my dragonwing begonias, Margaret! They're my absolute faves!!! They just make me HAPPY! But those Lantana are so darned cute. Makes me want to try them in containers and see if I have enough sunlight towards the southwest side of my house. We have…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Happy Birthday Debbie and Machka! Geraniums and dragon begonias are my favorites, Margaret! Lantana are so stunning though. I think I have to plant some of those this year. What kind of Lantana do you have? My problem is sun. My garden is mostly shaded, but…

(((hugs))) to those who need them. Off to work in a rush this morning. Sorry not much new or different here. 8. Eat mindfully. Appreciate the taste, texture and smell of your food... I try Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Margaret, you are SO right! "Others tend to want you to be Okay often too soon." We found the same thing when Shawn died. I really hate the phrase "new normal" too. Please, the last thing we wanted was this to become normal. We were fighting for our lives…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. My grandmother always said that she ate fast because grandpa was a salesman and they always ate fast, nanerkay. So, she made it a point of setting a very nice table for herself, always a placemat, all the silverware, water cup, napkin, everything, like…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Thanks for the mom update, Kim. Hope rehab goes well. I agree it's not a contest, Rebecca, but you deserve support too. Perhaps you could have worded your response a little better, but it's still the same response. You haven't heard from your sailor in three…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Thank you Karen. I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense. I figured that they wouldn't want to put up with horrible behavior, but I didn't know how they would go about getting rid of those types. Not the way I'd want my family member to be taken care…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. WOOHOO!!! Katla49is back to her old self... Thanks Pip! We love you either way. Debbie, God bless you. That's pretty big of DH to actually be angry at his mom for disrespecting "you" (in your absence) and then apologizing for ranting at you when he got home.…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Happy Birthday Barbara! We're not that close, Vicki! Mine is Feb 25th and Freddy's is March 15th and he is 4 years older than I. Pip, you are SO wonderful to go to all that to help out our friend Katla. We all love her so much and we know how much she…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. HAPPY MARCH ALL! Thanks for keeping us going another month, Barbie! Heather, I think that's a lovely picture! So you and hubby share the same birthday, Vicki?!? That's so cool. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 1. Set an intention to live with awareness and kindness... OKAY!…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Kylia, that's what I keep saying to myself! I guess I am thankful I have a job I enjoy most of the time. (I just don't enjoy some of the people I work with some of the time) Terri, those are beautiful! Watercolor is one thing I never mastered. 28-Giving…

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them. Kylia, again, I swear, we are sisters-from-another-mister! Ohio you say? Apparently I'm from SC via GA and MI, so who knows! (I'm adopted and my adopted bro is putting together my tree as we speak, but it's rather convoluted, I guess. Oh well, I'm just not…
