  • Yesterday was quite stormy, high winds, heavy rain, flooding. Celtic Fiddler concert cancelled, to my relief, didn’t really want to travel even though T would have driven. Power went out for almost 4 hours, came back on just as Joe was getting ready to hook the generator up to the fridge and freezer. Gave me a chance to…

  • Lanette right there with you trying to decipher Lisa’s code. Travel, money, ?, squirrel squirrel squirrel happy. Hope it means that despite the expense she’s having fun at the fibre event. Whoops, Lisa as you can see my translation skills weren’t up to the task 🤪 $28 for a single skein of yarn? WOWser. Time to start…

  • Machka yup, when I worked in San Francisco, I wore those pointy high heeled shoes in the office, but snkeakers when walking from BART station to work and back. That geography and traffic jam remind me of those days. Now I only wear hiking boots or Adidas, except for low flats to church. ;) Thanks for the Debbie 27K steps?…

  • @shamac35153 welcome and happy to have you join! Machka, that commute sounds so very painful. Were there no taxis/Uber/Lyft because of the road closure? Hope the podiatrist has do-able recommendations. Con VERY gratulations on the new job and beautiful aquamarine ring. Rebecca “Uff da” indeed! Kay, trying to train myself…

  • Welcome @PeggyHeath Peggy! Most of us here don’t do the “friend” thing, but connect and support each other here on this thread.

  • Let myself get too hungry and tired yesterday, gorged on Wagyu burger and onion straws, triple salted, then chocolate brownie thunder ice cream with butterscotch topping. Result? BP and WT down.

  • Barbie, hope this morning’s quake on the Olympia Peninsula didn’t disturb or damage you and yours. Rosemarie you and your son were on my heart this morning. Could he be reading your texts as “please fix this” while you are sending “please listen to help me process this”? When Joe and I first got together, he’d frequently…

  • Thanks Machka! I’ll try it on some of our dish towels, thought they were hopeless. Looks like mfp has "upgraded" again, color codes not working nor is the [img] I've saved, had to add it using the picture button. Tina glad to see you back, sorry about the mister’s leg.

  • Monday and Tuesday I used the weather as an excuse to wimp out on BB&B and line dancing. Learned a friend is in hospital. Heard from her during today’s BB&B class. She’s facing heart surgery to correct a congenital defect, soon as they can drain enough fluid from her body. There is concern that her recovery will be…

  • Carol good catch. Your instinct was spot on. Flea what Debbie said about being able to talk to your son. Blessings. Michele, have you considered slab or solid surface instead of tile for the tub wall? IMHO the less grout and fewer seams, the mo’ bettah. ;) Ginny brava for walking!

  • The mass on Princess Tumble’s right front leg cae back and is bigger than it was when it popped at the vet’s last October. Was lucky enough to get her in on an emergency same day basis to our preferred vet. He removed it surgically and sent it and the margins off to the lab. Praying for that best of all words: “benign.”…

  • This morning I could not think of the word for the musical instrument my BFF and Lawrence Welk played with such enthusiasm. Kept coming up with “harmonica” “ukuklele” “concertina” “squeezebox” but knew none of them were right. Finally had to think about something else for the word “accordion” to bubble up. Must be a broken…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all. Yesterday was cozy, relaxing in the hot tub and by the woodstove, lovely. Glued labels to popsicle sticks for the germination experiment, removing one thing from the desktop. ;} Found this activity strangely satisfying. Could I have found my craft?

  • Catching up from Sunday, no declutter progress Monday but did drag my lazy butt to BB&B and line dancing. Tuesday’s success was finishing and filing our taxes. Today’s challenges: BB&B, line dancing and the house of pain for ?final? step in implants. Not sure I want to proceed, have a deep ache in the corner of that jaw,…

  • This morning’s frog bite, reconciled checking account and actual spreadsheets, found quite a few checks not entered in actual so would have been missed for medical deductions.

  • ‘nother nibble at the frog, started deductions spreadsheet, next to reconcile with checking spreadsheet… little by little it will get done.

  • Didn’t make it to line dancing Tuesday night. Started swallowing the income tax frog yesterday morning. Use TurboTax as it keeps history and assures me I’ve not missed any deductions, but alas, it seems to be getting kludgier to negotiate.
