Mascha, you are correct, sometimes we indavertantly misjudge what we see. You have a system at works with your husband. DJ I think what you are talking about is where we will celebrate Christmas. We started talking about where we would have it. My sister keeps on talking about having it at her church. But some don't like…

I just hate what cell phones have done to people in general. You are with a person, having a conversation with them then your phone rings or vibrates, beeps, etc. all of a sudden your person you are having a meaningful conversation with is gone. They are dismissed. A parent having to leave the supper table, a family out to…

Lanette, Charlie really doesn't talk much about all the social part of a holiday. I think he goes mainly for the food. Since we give couple gifts, it is usually something for the home so he just gives it to me to open it. Sometimes I remind him that it is for both of us. But since we get the stockings handed out first, he…

Dana, that is awful to experience. And right at retirement time. The group need to stay together to resolve it. No one better to help you through a tau,attic situation but the ones who went through it with you. We have an exotic animal park not far from us and they have walk red, kangaroos, expect is birds and he's some…

Allie, when he makes statements like that I would just walk out of the house. I also took my dead laptop to Beat Buy. They retrieved all the pictures and documents and then put them into a new laptop I bought. I can't remember how much it cost, to man years ago. One thing with Best Buy, I did have to keep hem on their…

Re, wonderful transformation. But it looked like your husband was quite in love with the old you also. The new you will just live longer with him. Thank you for sharing. Allie, I can't be,ieve after all of this that he is still trying to manipulate you with a new lap top. My laptop sits on my couch arm rest and I use my…

Lot of conversation here since last night. No way I can respond to everyone. The way I brought up my kids, they had moral values I knew hat they had the possblitiy of being bullied. My kids didn't talk to me about a lot of things when they were growing up about things going on at school. But when you get home from work and…

Michele, I sure am glad my daughters had simple weddings and their husbands mOms just didn't want to have to do anything but arrive. Could you put those favors in a pretty decorated basket or box that is labeled in her colors for the attendants? I have a cousin that lives in Seattle that takes the most beautiful serene…

How many of us have Eyore for husbands???? I think he IS EYORE! My youngest brother had two sons and they both have so many of the alphabet mental illnesses. ADD! ADDHD ODD OCD plus bipolar. Why and how can children be born with all of that. The older of the two sons is now a fairly mature man, is an EMT paramedic. His…

Becca, after saying what your quilt will be made of, it will be exquisite. You better show us a picture. Will this be your quilt or will she keep it! And here I thought all these beautiful plants and flowers were yours! Heather, I am so jealous. A 2 week Baltic cruise! Just WOW! I know you will share pictures. Just hope…

I'm not sure how far the closest eclipse viewing is from us. I think it is about 40 miles. We aren't going because this little town's population is going to be probably quadrupled or more that day. And you are right, the traffic and parking situation will be awful. Our museum is offering several types of tours for some…

Pip, wil PM my address so,you can send me your bandana. I have another lady at church that if I can track her down will try to get her to sign it. I remember one time when I was out bike riding with my girls and they just went through stop signs, didn't use hand signals or anything, I'm not really sure why I was so upset…

Lisa, thank you for trusting us with your story. Now you can take a deep breath and get going. Welcome to ur new ladies. Pull up a chair and stay awhile. Charlie enjoyed his new sheet last night. That's about all I have to say this morning . Going to go shopping at Walgreens today, it's senior day! Joyce, Indiana

Barbie, again thank you for starting us off the right way. I am so sorry for your neighbors husband. I was a hospice volunteer and that was what we did at times, just hold their hands whether it was the patient or the family. I don't know whether it is a good or bad thing that hospice removes things so quickly. Sometimes…

Lisa, glad to see you back. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Yes, your husband is acting silly. For me it is very good to see a husband acting silly. Doesn't happen very often here. Katla, you were right to leave that church. They were looking out for themslves and not thinking about why they were there as a church.…

Michele, I a agree that there must be cliques. I think they are anywhere. Maybe it is my own insecurities in mysel that make me think that. I remember in my old church that people would be standing around after service was over and talking about going out to eat and I always wanted to be invited to go with them but never…

Ok, how does a nurse put a pillow case on. I had to actually go in and take a pillow case off and put one on so I could write t as well as I could. But what the heck, now I have a clean pillow case on. Take pillow case and put your hand inside and grab the top seam then grab that seam from the outside of the pillow case…

Dana, what part of Arkansas do you live in ? My nece lives in Jonesboro and loves it there. She went to Williams Baptist college down there and met her husband. This Midwesterner became a southerner pretty quickly. Mainly because her FIL refuse to cross the Maon Dixin line. He wouldn't have even if they had the wedding…

Hearher, that B&B and view looks wonderful I got up to see the kids off this morning. I am sure I will find things Ellie left! It always happens. Of course her parents should oversee that. Then I went back to bed and slept all the way for their trip to Louisville. Charlie stayed awake but the whole time they were here, he…

Dana, this Southern Baptist preachers kid is proud of you for being baptized as an adult. Don't be nervous. Those are your friends out there. NYKaren, I think Chalrie would do anything Ellie asked him to do. When trinity was a little girl, she was only openly loving to a few people. I was one of those because I initiated…

Hi all. Kids got in last night around 9 or so. I slept faily well. Ellie always gets up around 6 AM. Her and Trinity sleep in the family room so that means that the typical teen also is awakened at 6. Charlie is a sucker when it come to his grand kids and he and Ellie will meet in the kitchen and he makes scrambled eggs…

Becca, you have a blue dishwasher! Where did you get that? Yes, your kitchen looks very neat. I don't k ow what I would do if mine ever looked like that. It gets close to that around Thanksgivng and Christmas when the family is coming over but after cooking that big meal it's worse than before. The men always clean up…

Thank you for all your assistance in my watering question. our empty nest syndrome came at the same time that I had a relapse with my MS and had to quit work. So it was a strange time. It was also quite a time of soul searching for me. I literally had to reinvent who I was. This is why I thanked God for my MS. I finally…

Katla, my DBIL does take care of my sister. But he has two personalities. The other one only comes out when family is here like for holidays or we are having a carry in dinner and he isn't controlling the cooking. He is a diabetic, used to be close to 400 pounds, has probably lost close to 500 pounds through his life. But…

Yes Dana. They are labeling get as a hoarder. She also dies not see that the dogs have terrible sores or that you can see eir spines and ribs. She just denies seeing it. Allie, the situation is scaring me now. Sure wish you had some one else there with you all the time. And your grandchild in that environment even is more…

Katla, I know it is pricey but my BIL gets anything my sister need for her many medical needs. Anyway, they got a new van and had a hydraulic lift put into the cargo space for her scooter. The van has to have enough headroom, so it can't be just any van. She just opens her back door, pulls out the control, pushes out and…
