Rita, Of course... they gave him notice "during an episode" so they did their part and he can't prove anything. So much for being compassionate. I definitely understand the tough love though and good on you for sticking with that. You make a good sounding board and research helper. Katla, your granddaughter will love a…

MARY, bring some of that WARM back with you PLEASE!!! OMG! Heather, what a DOLLFACE! TOTALLY Michele! Street lights, 9pm siren. LOVED TorT'ing! And yes, did the same thing. Went out for hours with NO adults. Our kids even went out without us. Wouldn't DARE let the grands out without us! Hi Celia! That's all I got for…

Flea, that is a very good reminder that perspective changes things. As someone who lives further away from my mom, I often defer to my brother and SIL and try to politely ask, "so mom appears to be..." before just blurting out "MOM IS...". I talk to my mom every day and hear things, but I don't deal with the things they…

If you were given the opportunity to acquire a new qualification of some sort, what would you choose? Love that sentiment Heather! Learn something new every day! I really do try, even simply a new "thought". I'd like to learn another language. I know that's rather simple, but I'd really like to become REALLY fluent. I've…

KATLA, those chairs look AMAZING! Wish I could afford that just for my office! Oh man... to sit in something like that all day would be wonderful. Of course, I'd probably fall asleep. Ahhhh Lanette, lovely WA. Yes, but you get far too much rain for my taste, I believe. At least that's what I've heard. Or maybe that's just…

OH WOW Kim! I am so impressed. Here we are worried about YOU and you have got it going on! Already done a BG check on the man and he's given you the PWs. Well done. Just....... EARS OPEN, EYES CLICK as the Marines would say. Don't let your guard down. I know you won't. And I LOVE Lanette's cast iron skillet idea too.…

THANKS DEBBIE!!! OH NO.......... Kim, I am devastated for you and your family. My heart is beating out of my chest as I'm reading this. I guess, in some twisted way, thank God for Tim. To be able to have gotten DB to sign the release so he was able to find this all out for you so NOW you can move on. MAJOR (((HUGS))) and…

So sorry I missed your birthday TERRI!!! Sounds like it was happy. Oh Beth, I feel for you and I understand that caring for TWO parents would be WAY too much for you. The cost for both of them is a lot too though. We were very Blessed to find a reliable, wonderful home-health care aide for my MIL before we found her a…

OMG Tucker is AWESOME!!! I have WAY too many of those deer photos too, Rebecca. I just love our backyard... and it's my office window. Prayers for all dealing with good and not so good. I am thrilled for you, Betsy! Lunch, laughing, crying and physically tired. Sounds like an amazing day. I will offer one piece of advice,…

Glad you found us again Missy! I have a calendar remindar with the montly link. I have to change it when we get to the next month. The phone app is just to small for me to see and I'm on my computer all day anyway. That recipe sounds wonderful Rebecca! Kind of like a jambalaya I make for Mardi Gras. IS THAT REALLY a deer…

I'm crazy in love with musicals too Lisa (and Beth) and I agree... that is one I'll say "ODD" looking Easter Bunny. smh. Musicals are still one of the top searches on all of my streaming. Freddy just puts on his headphones and shakes his head. Poor guy. Hey Renee! Welcome! I'm an old Sparkie too! I miss that so much. This…

Happy Easter for those who celebrate! He is Risen Indeed! ALLELULIA!

<3

Blessed Good Friday to all who celebrate! I'm off today and have the grands with me. It's still spitting that cold, white, stuff here in MN and we had horrendous wind yesterday again. They had some NASTY cold, white, stuff in ND though! SIL and her parents are actually buried right now and their family's farm is fighting…

Oh Betsy... I just have to laugh at the thought of you "mowing" the lawn without engaging the blades. Thanks for the giggle, my friend! BEEN there, DONE that! I thought I was going to "help" hubby by mowing the lawn before he got home one afternoon and "did" the entire lawn, but it made no difference and I couldn't figure…

Oh yes, Kim, we ARE listening and we hear how angry you are and completely justifiable! I can't even imagine how much you've been through with that brother and your mother taking sides. Grrrrrr... I too feel such amazement and awe that you have the love to care so much for your nephew and godchildren. You are a saint.…

<3

Kim, I am breathing such a sigh of relief for you! I guess I too would be a little suspicious, like Heather, but if you're feeling good about your brother's friend and it gives you reason to step away, then good on you. Barbara, you keep snuggling. Those Tumble and Shadow snuggles will relieve you of your heartbreak sooner…

Oh Barbara, I'm so sorry. That is sad, but you have to do what's best for you and your family. I'm sure Gino will find his furever home. No intrusion here Helen! All are welcome. We're so glad you're here. Good luck on your journey and your wedding! Well... THEY WON! It was so much fun! Here we are and this is AJ and her…

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
