Machka: A Facebook advertiser was tempting me with a course in AI for 20.00. But you would have to remember to cancel I filled out the form but never submitted the payment! I am constantly being asked for 20 dollars here and 20 dollars there. My son thought it was crazy to pay any money to learn AI! But I did like the idea…

Hi Flea, My husband was terrified as well. He did have a position where he could keep going into his 70s. He worked despite declining health. In 2021 He received his ALS diagnosis and retired. In early 2023 he was gone. He always said he loved his job and wanted to work. When he was gone, I received a hand written note…

Debbie: This reminded me of wishing a water bill would come. I have been watering the sod I purchased every other day. Last year I had a friend who told me her water bill from a sprinkler system was 600 dollars! I wish I could stop watering now, but it is so very hot I fear losing the sodl The electric bill came and it was…

Ginny: Wow! A tornado..I hope the community is doing okay and pulling together. Beth: Congrats to your Mom on her 94th birthday and to your son for losing weight. Pipcd: I loved I Love Lucy! Ange: Congrats on the potty training. That is still an issue for my dog! Terri: Happy 59th anniversary! Heather: We always used cloth…

I love fire flies! I don't think I have seen any in Middle GA recently. It is wonderful that you are helping your DH with his Mom's house. I think it would be emotional and somewhat overwhelming otherwise. Also great there is no time pressure. My mother just gave up independent living and had been living in an over 55…

I hope everyone is well. I am trying to catch up with you all! Okie: Good news that you are safe! Barbie: Values are important in decluttering that is for sure. One podcast says, "If everything is important, nothing is important". Values are also a struggle for me in budgeting! Saving is best of course! Rebecca: Perhaps…

Heather: I am wishing for the best outcome for your brother's surgery on Friday! Allie: Happy Birthday! Debbie: I am wishing the best for you and your DH. I hope the post in post traumatic stress syndrome is something your husband can handle. He has been stressed enough. Time for him to enjoy life! And for you to enjoy…

Just wanted to show my sod! I am so pleased it is staying green in the shade! I don't when it will root into the grass beneath it! Best, Rosemarie from GA

My son and DIL are in San Francisco for a wedding. They sent me a video of themselves in a driverless car. They were in the back seat. There was audio in the car telling them to wear their seatbelts and there were cameras in the car to observe the riders to further research how best to bring driver less cars to the public.…

I took some notes and will finish reading in a couple of hours! Hope everyone is well! My son just told me that it is impressive how independent I am getting with managing my yard. With the heat it can be overwhelming! I stopped the yard service and don't regret this! And it freed up some money to purchase a pallet of sod…

Awake early..I have fed the dogs and taken them out 2x. There is a meditation group online at 6:30. But then I would need to go back to sleep to have enough sleep to do book group at 1 pm. Heather: I will have to look up scotch eggs! Lamb sounds delicious. I have been buying mostly fish..salmon,cat fish and shrimp.…

I went back 3 pages. I hope everyone is well. Debbie: My friend outside of San Francisco put in a/c just last year. Because of the hotter summers. They removed grass awhile back and have plants/shrubs in the front yard. Annie: We had no A/C growing up We had a screened in porch and on hot nights we were told to sleep on…

I hope everyone is well. I will come back and read later today. A lady I have not met posted on a widows' website I belong to that she is looking for a room mate for a cruise in the Fall to Greece and Italy. The cruise starts and ends in Rome. I got up at 2 am last night and looked into it. The ship is old and has a u tube…

Wow! Machka.you have lost a good amount of weight! One of the last things we did as a family was go to a Fleetwood Mac tribute concert. And the lady who played Stevie Nicks was wonderful! I went swimming once this week. I have to make a reservation to do this. I do the breast stroke. I, even as a child did not have the…

PIPCD34: I love Yogi's memorial! It will be a nice reminder of Yogi for years to come. I have a box with my first poodle's pictures with a poodle figurine glued to the top. We had Sport cremated. I could never get my son or husband to agree to a ceremony. In fact, they didn't want to mention Sport's passing at all. I…

I am very behind and hope everyone is well. I began reading on June 17. PIPCD: My sympathy to you and your family that the time for Yogi's transition has arrived. When my 1st poodle transitioned I spent an evening online with a group from the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement. This helped me tremendously. It is very…

The 2 British shows I enjoy are Britain's Most Historic Towns with Professor Alice Roberts. And Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages. Best, Rosemarie from GA

Rebecca: I drink 1 or 2 Black ice coffees a day. I make it with the Keurig and the McDonalds, Starbucks and Dunkin are all next to each other! I go to all 3. This will be such an improvement! Thank you! Best, Rosemarie from GA

Heather: I really don't understand much about your last post! I have never owned a card reader. I don't think I know anybody that does. I know when my DH first passed I did grief counseling with a lady near London. She wanted me to do a Bank to Bank transfer which she said was common in Britian. I know it must be done in…

Machka: I love your bathing suits! Very pretty! Spending less on dry cleaning is a goal of mine and i am paying more attention to how I shop and finding items that will wash/dry/hang before I purchase. I love jeans and many people here wear them all year round. But I can't. I switch to cotton or a cotton/blend in the…

Carol: I hope everything is okay. If you want to meet to go out and have coffee or a meal I will drive up to you. I have been going to Milledgeville and Athens and take the back roads to Atlanta so getting around pretty well. I joined the Modern Widows Club and those meetings will be in Marietta. I have used Soundermind to…

PIPCD34: I feel sad about saying good bye to Yogi. I know he has enjoyed being a member of your family. Barbara: 5 sit to stands at every potty break is a great idea. I love the open heart and mind before mouth! When I came home from 2 weeks away….which is very, very rare for me, I was exhausted from focusing on others. I…

Lisa: I hope you have your energy back! Ginny: I am struggling a bit with my son and DIL. I don't want to ask too many questions. So I talk too much about myself. I need to really understand their interests! Barbie: Congrats on washing your fence! I need to remember to wash my outside chairs! RVRita: Enjoy your trip!…

I hope all are well. I have been busy and need to go back and read. I was so busy I did not get to Florence SC until 1 am. Then I was on the road by 7 to meet my friend at the Myrtle Beach Airport. Only to have my friends plane delayed until after noon. I lacked sleep..needed exercise..had a box of fig newtons for…

Heather: On a whim, I purchased your book. Congrats on another book! I will take it to the coast as an inspiring "beach/pool read"! I am also catching up on Cutting for Stone. An older book, but one I never read. Carol: How is your back? Lanette: Did I miss reading how old your caps are. I have 2. The first was put in…

Pamiede: Wow! What a health story. I am so sorry you have been through all this. I wish you the very best of outcomes on Ozempic. PipCD: I hope you have more time with Yogi. My son has a Black Lab around 10 years old. He is scheduled for surgery in May. He has a growth by his shoulder. It is worrisome. Lisa: I am sorry…

Mo: I hope your right leg gets better. Hope you enjoy the books and tea! GrandMallie: Congrats on the weight loss! Glad all is well with Alfie! Carol: Glad the eye procedure went well! Yes, I have some nice memories of High Falls! Barbie: I think Social Security is overwhelmed right now. Is there an office in another…

Allie: Glad you got into a room for the evening and last night. I hope you were able to sleep. I certainly hope the bleeding has stopped. Please be careful getting up. You might be weak from the blood loss. Love the pictures of your grandchildren! Re: So terrific you have a nephew coming to help! Decluttering podcasts are…

Allie: I am thinking about you. So glad you are in the hospital to be monitored. I guess you are wondering if you will need more surgery. I hope not. I hope the bleeding stops. You are back at Yale? That must be an excellent place to be. Thinking of you, Rosemarie

Barbie: It is tough. I was the first to arrive for the Bird Watching today. A man arrived got out of his car and said his name was Paul. My husband's name. It was tough. I hope he didn't notice, but probably did. And we had so much paper and paper from his parents. I still have 9 bags in my living room and more in a…
