Lisa - the antibiotics finally started doing their job so I’m not in as much pain today. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better. My own doctor wouldn’t give me anything, which is why I went to the walk in. I’m not a fan of my new doctor. Jenifer - love the kitchen Heather - one of the ladies at work was complaining about…

Lanette - I hope you kept your power. Diana - I think whether your gifts are too small or low depends on who’s paying to fill them. If you are doing it out of your own pocket it would be seen as more than if the company is paying. If the company is paying it $25 could seem small in the eyes of staff. In my experience…

Debbie - Hallucinations is a side effect of some pills, UTI’s and also some diseases. I feel for you and your husband. I hope the doctor can help. Heather - Breakfast for dinner is one of my favourite meals. I like it better at supper than at breakfast. Kylia - sorry to hear about your SIL’s grandmother, hopefully the…

Debbie - Sorry your sales weren’t better. I found it hit and miss this year. Heather - will Edie and Max graduate from this school? Hope your cold goes very fast. So miserable. Lisa - hope you get some answers at the doctor. I am off from Christmas Eve afternoon to Jan 2. I’m so looking forward to it. Lanette - I think we…

Debbie - my grandmother used to make matching curtains and quilts out of sheets. She had a set in her room that was the provincial flowers of Canada. I don’t know what happened to that. I hope you have a peaceful day today. Lanette - I’ll have to look at that video when I get home. Lisa - I agree, Allie loves taking care…
-
Machka - for the last two years I bought myself a book just before Christmas and my daughter and son in law bought me the same book for Christmas. I promised I wouldn’t buy one this year, the new one in the trilogy better be under the tree. 😂 I love the lights and the decorations. I also really loved going to look at the…

Debbie - I think I would be tempted to just go stay at my Mom’s in your shoes. His mother is terrible. Lisa - the supplies for the Cricut are pricy. I only buy when I’m working on a specific project. Truthfully, I was never very interested in one. The only reason I have it is because we wanted to make things for Kaitlyn’s…
-
Heather - Thanks! That’s a high compliment. Beautiful cups! Kylia - I don’t know why people insist on buying themselves something right before Christmas. It’s rather annoying. I hope hubby’s attitude changes. DH is going to be asking me what I want soon, I have no idea what to tell him. I want him to spend time with me and…
-
Machka - one of my favourites is sitting with the Christmas lights and music too. Hope the wind leaves you soon. Heather - we’re trying to keep colds and flus out of the home. If too many are sick we have to close the doors and are trying everything not to have to do that this Christmas. Diana - those all consuming jobs…
-
Rebecca - I have never had white teeth, they have always been a yellow tinge. So is most of my family on Dad’s side. Pip - that’s a good idea, do you have a sofa to sit on if needed? Michele - our Grands have Christmas on different dates quite often, a lot of families with shift workers have to do that. My dad was an…
-
Cookies at Christmas - my paternal grandmother and most of that older side of the family made huge amounts of treats at Christmas. My maternal grandmother’s side not so much. I think the difference was the size of the families. On my paternal side there were several with 6 or more children, so when families visited it was…
-
Debbie - that is a lot of treats. I had to laugh today as I saw a new trend is a “sweet charcuterie board”. Like the other ones we used to just call it trays, it’s all the same, just on a board instead of a plate or platter. Margaret - I think you’re very smart to do what you’re doing. I don’t think I could do it all.…
-
Heather - I hope the wind doesn’t knock your antennae down or do any damage. We are both spending a day with our granddaughter’s. Michaela may end up being here longer than expected, we are to get freezing rain this afternoon and snow over night. Lanette - I find Walmart has really gone down hill the last few years,…

Too tired to make comments tonight. Just read through. Michaela is here and we started the decorating process then called it a night and watched Rudolph. She went to bed at 830 and I’m about to join her and it’s only 930. Tomorrow we get to arrange things and have fun though.

Heather - I looked up what the exchange rate on a pound, it would be equivalent to $1.79 here. Thats a good price! Several thrift stores here won’t even take cd’s and DVD’s now. Binders too. Terri - my friend moved to BC and is complaining about the grey skies. They sure can have an effect on our moods. Hope you get some…
-
Terri - I wouldn’t have thought of using my audio to record notes that war Annie - the men at the home were more interested in the trees than the women yesterday, maybe that’s because they never had to do the work involved to make it pretty. Your Dad may be missing the memories it brings. Heather - “debobbler” I love that!…
-
Heather - I don’t know why they make them so difficult. I hate being cold too. I also wolf down my food too fast because I hate it if it starts to get cold. I know someone who has been happily married for 43 years, 29 of them living in separate houses but very near one another. It has saved their marriage. Carol - happy…
-
Kylia - that is a powerful question. I feel like I put myself in a victim role sometimes and I know it’s not the truth, I could change things but it’s not what I want. The cards are my entertainment really. Sometimes my chore, I would prefer to do that than watch tv. I also have a lot of hours to find things to do. I put…
-
Heather - I remember the year my grandmother decided not to put a tree up. I was devastated. She finally relented and bought a little table top tree that came fully decorated. She took it out of the box and set it up. I thought it made for a great compromise. I understand the reasoning, it’s a lot of work, but I hope I…
-
Heather - my snowmen didn’t sell, but I sold quite a few ornaments. I’m not complaining about the sale today. I like crepes better than pancakes. Annie - I have been in parades before, not nearly as much fun as seeing them. Terri - I am going to watch your video tomorrow. Allie - How sad that Tracy has to pack the kids up…
-
Terri - I think your clubs sound like a wonderful time. Machka - for years I sent to all of the family in NB our siblings, nieces and nephews along with our parents. I’ll only send to our Mother’s this year and my BFF, her and I have exchanged gifts since grade 2,and for the last probably 20 years, if not more, we have had…

Annie - your Dad may be clingy when you’re sick because he knows without you he couldn’t be at home. He’s probably also worried about you because you’re his daughter too. I hope you were able to have a shower without incident. Lisa - that looks like a big difference with the chair move. Vicki - I bet those snowmen will…
-
Heather - Fingers crossed for Edie. We’re going to have Michaela here on the 7th- 8th we’ll both be visiting with our granddaughter. Congratulations to your DIL, they sure are busy those two but they seem to be handling it. I find with the acrylic metallics, I paint a base coat of colour first and then my second coat with…
-
Sue - I hope you get your heat issues all fixed soon. It sure has been a tough year. Machka - I used to hold things in too long and then explode, thankfully I haven’t gotten to that point in a few years. I probably still hold it in too long but I’m better at letting it out. Barbie - I don’t think we can fix anyone but…
-
Heather - Thank you. I like you too! I know I need to break down and talk, but I find it so hard for some reason. It’s funny one of the things that made me fall in love with Rodger was his ability to listen. I’ve never been a big journal type person, but I did feel better when doing a gratitude journal. I should get back…

I don’t own a cat, but look after my neighbours for her. Hers only gets 1/4 cup of dry food in the morning and in the evening she gives the same but she adds a quarter can of wet food. Michele - isn’t Jess a vet? Couldn’t she tell Vince what is best for them. Sue - how long have you been without power? Machka - Parking…
-
Terri - I read a book set in Ireland, the first chapter was a young woman on the coast looking over the water on a cold winter day. I always picture you in that scene when you talk about cold weather. Annie - that’s funny that your dad read one of your romance novels. Ginny - craft markets sure are hit and miss. How sweet…
-
Heather - I was thinking I needed to get stamps too, but our postal workers are on strike. They seem to do this every couple of years at Christmas time. Does your son in Nottingham ever get to come see you? How far away is it? Mo - he does have a heater in his shop, it’s still cool because it’s a shed that doesn’t have…

Thank you all for your commiserations about Rodger sanding in the house. He changed his mind today and will do it in his shop. 🙄 Michele - the splint is to be worn at night, but it says not all night. I think because it is stretching your muscles out, it has to be done gradually. A lot more to comment on but it’s a late…
