Kim from N. California one alternative container (for the teenagers or young adults) is to go to a thrift store and get the largest heels with open toes you can find. Put some drain holes in the bottom with an electric drill, and then moss. I have always wanted to do a bunch all shiny snazzy lined up by a back door with…

Michele in NC~Are you referring to my sons' little devils food cake mini loaves I made for his birthday? Well I bought 2 cans worth of milk chocolate frosting, one my husband used on some lonely graham crackers, and the other is still in the fridge. What I did was just put all the cooled mini loaves and some cupcakes, and…

Glo~Congrats on the job!!! Sherry~ Thanks for the heads up about working at Walmart. I am not really keen in getting a job quite yet. A lot of lost years taking care of husband, its nice to see him healthy. I don't want to miss moments. I used to work with a company called "Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market" which was a USA…

I might try putting brown sugar on bacon like I have heard. Sheesh bacon is so evil, good but evil... lol! ((hugs))) Becca

Ok I have to admit, when you are semi-retired, everyday seems like a Sunday. Especially when you have a teenager home for a Thanksgiving week! I suppose when son goes into the Navy I (might) get a part-time job, but I am not keen about it... There is a Walmart superstore that is being built, so maybe both husband and I can…

:smiley:

Welcome Sue from Becca across the pond (in Oregon). You are gonna love it here, you can throw all your mental baggage on the white part of the screen here. We have a BIG broom and sweep that up daily, so no worries! You can rant, rave, brag, boast, cry, and we will support you unconditionally. We are like shrinks but…

(((hugs))) ladies, hope everyone is doing ok :-) Sherry you can't wear out your welcome here, we care bout' cha! Heck I talk about all my strange habits, my crazy mindsets, and sometimes if I get on myself too much the ladies on here call me out on it. Like a friend that starts stressing and her friend slaps her to her…

Hello everyone (waves at the screen) Well I was sooo tired after volunteering at the senior luncheon. I tip my hat off to any of you that did waitressing. We only had 7 tables so there was about 63 people. So three of us serving split pea soup, bread and butter, and the meal which was Swedish meatballs, noodles with a…

Well ladies I was awake from 4:30am and took my shower after my teen FINALLY got out of his shower. Oh will he be in for a rude awakening when he joins the Navy and they make'em take 5 minute showers! Until then I let him take his long showers. I just hate when I don't hear any scrubbing going on. Then I think, "I don't…

Well, ladies how is everyone???? (this is where you jump and yell "I'm Peachy" to the screen!!) Today at TOPS I did the program. I read that poem that was posted on here (can't remember who posted it), and then opened conversation to the group to go around and state what empowers them. Many stated the: -accountability -the…

Howdy ladies ((((hugs)))) Quiet day today, but got some projects done, and youngest sons 18th birthday present wrapped (in the Sunday Comics). It's 18 $1 coins in a us bank plastic piggy bank. Its for his "going to Arnie's restaurant" habit. So hopefully that will last him a couple of weeks! Sherry~ Happy everything is…

Nooooooo Rori, I love your head shot!!! Becca

Wonderful pics Pip!!

Pip~ You dear friend are a true inspiration. You are both hero's in my eyes. You are the support system men always dream of but most often never have. He came to the conclusion on his own that that would be his last race (that long). It takes a lot of courage to come to that conclusion (tell him that... ). We (like I am…

Breathe my fellow Oregonian. Just know most of those young rioters didn't even VOTE! The ones you see in the black hoodies, with their faces covered DO NOT REPRESENT most Oregonians. In fact most of the protesters were trying to STOP the rioters from doing what they were doing. The fact that most of Oregon was for TRUMP,…

Barbara,in SW Idaho ~ My friends in my TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) group give great hugs! I hug and we just mind melt for a moment. Those are the kinds of hugs you gain strength from you know? Thanks for the friends request. I sent ya a message. Becca

Sherry just find a photo of your 4 legged lovie, and send it to me :-) I have most of the face photos all about an oval quarter size, (except for Rori and her beautiful face is the size of 4 quarters)... Photos work better because they are sturdy than copier paper. I can send you a message with my address if you wish. Becca

Thanks Kim in California~ Just rec'd your picture for the advent calendar. I cut out Levi's picture too! If anyone just wishes to put their 4-legged kids on the MFP Advent Calendar you can do that too. Presently I have 9 people participating. Poerava14, Exermom, Janetr7476, Godmomkim, Vicki157, bwcetc, bkrimpet, Fanncy0626…

Good news! Middle son contacted us on FB and got his vacation days approved with Home Depot. Dec 28th-Jan 1st! So all three sons home at one time or another! It will be awesome from Dec 22nd to the 1st!!! I need to get some silly presents for youngest son, because he will be opening his biggest present technically after…

Sherry in "dry but chilly" Portland ~ Glad everything is going well in your new digs! Do you have a fence dividing you from the person next to you? Why I am asking is that one year my Mom did a horizontal garden and it looked amazing! She bought special bags that hung like a hanging plant, had holes at various points and…

Lois on the North Shore of Ma ~I have become more understanding in peoples' "personal space", and I ask if they want a hug, or sometimes I ask them if they have gotten their quota of hugs for the day. Most give me a strange look and say, "well not really", so I put my arms out to give them one! They either take it, or opt…

I shall be your ray of sunshine!!!! Goes with the fact that I am the "sunshine gal" for our TOPS group, (sending cards to people). I think all we CAN do effectively is be nice to one another, be the person you wish to have listen to you, and heck smiling takes less muscles to make than frowning! I think of myself as a…

Lenora, This is my views on a guy in uniform. They look great in them, and better out of them....arranged neatly by the bed. HAHAHAHa! Ok I have welcomed home my sailor man WAYYY too many times and uniforms are complicated!! (blushing and hiding)..... Becca an ol vixen in Oregon

My Christmas Candy Trains :-) You said you wished to see them. Simple items all hot glued together. I then took a cereal box and cut out 4 rectangles wrapping each in Christmas wrap. I then took some ties, and poked a small hole on each side of the train, adhering the train to the rectangle with the twist ties. This makes…

Well I term "active duty" as anyone that puts on a military uniform. You represent more than just you, you become a walking ambassador, so I'm glad you stand for him. I remember once when my son got done with Boot Camp, he came home before he went to Sea School. So we had planned on him coming out with us to the "Clothing…

Lisa in rainy, damp West Texas~ Thanks from this ol Navy Chiefs Wife for your service... ((((((hugs)))) Congrats to settling all the VA situation! I have an older son that is active duty, and even though he isn't in a war zone, he still has a job that could put him in harms way at any moment. It's the commitment to defend…

Brenda Virginia Beach, VA ~ From this ol Navy Retired Chiefs wife I want to say that I am thankful for your service. (((hugs))) puts my hand out to the screen..."nice ta meet cha!!!" Becca (stubbing her finger on the screen) in Oregon...

Sherry In Portland~ Congrats on your new digs, and saving money!!! I grew up in the Damascus area a suburb of Portland. Presently we live on the coast near Astoria :-) Oregonians unite! :smiley: Becca in the greenest corner of Oregon
