Good morning ladies! Ginny … I'm not sure whether to be glad that your pathology report was "as expected" or not. What does this now mean for you? Pip … sorry to hear that Yogi has a tumor. Hoping you'll have many more years with him. Lisa and Rebecca … the things our Vets go through make me so mad … it shouldn't be this…

Rita … so sorry to hear about Brownie … always hard, even when it's time. Hugs Ginny … glad the surgery is behind you and now you can focus on healing. Continued prayers that pathology will be clear. Carol … praying the prednisone takes care of your pain! Allie … how are you feeling today? Mo … you look happy and rested in…

Ginny … prayers for your surgery tomorrow… hugs Beth

Nine pages in already … 😲 Welcome to the new ladies! Barbie … Thank you for moving us into April. Lisa … a belated Happy Birthday! Heather … I like the cabinet but would be tired of that color as well. I've never had any luck painting furniture, but these other gals have good ideas. I do not know if my weight changed or…

Machka … I watched the splash down too and I kept thinking, "I don't remember seeing NASA footage as clear as this before." And then it dawned on me that we were seeing drone coverage. I was fascinated as well … even got a little emotional. I'm a sap. Day 6 of recording calories along with my IF. It makes a difference in…

Ginny … I'll be praying for you and your upcoming surgery … hugs Allie … precious photos… Heather, Machka, and Flea … beautiful communities you live in! Spring is trying here near Buffalo. Blue skies and full sun … but the temperatures took a drop into the 30s 🤨 Third skim coat of plaster has gone down in the bathroom.…

Thank you for the nice comments regarding my mom's and my St. Patty's Day pic! Mo commented that my mom looked happy … and she was! Much of my mom's concerning confusion was alleviated when we put her on prophylactic antibiotics for chronic UTIs. She hasn't had a UTI since and her whole demeanor has changed as well. Of…

Barbara … so sorry to hear that your friend has passed … hugs. Beth

Allie … I am so glad that you are back in the hospital under expert care! You are trying to do too much on your own. Rosemarie … I think you are doing great with the management of your home since your husband passed. We are more capable than we realize … Barbie … I'm glad that the recipients of your boxes are appreciative.…

Good morning, Allie!! Beth

Allie … I especially like what Margaret said here about the precious gift that you have received and the need to honor that gift by taking care of you. Gum balls … never knew what they were called! Learn something new on here all the time. Rebecca … good luck on the swimsuit quest …my least favorite shopping to be sure.…

Allie … you are a marvel! I am so thankful that the surgery went well and that you are in good spirits. Beth near Buffalo

Allie … I'm writing in the afternoon and hoping that your surgery is now complete and that you are in recovery. Praying. Lanette … the "tile guy" will be my husband. He's tiled several areas of our home and is pretty good at it. Pam in WA … Welcome! Lisa … Love the half bath! We picked out a similar style vanity yesterday…

Oh Allie! I will be praying for a successful surgery and a quick recovery!! ❤️ Beth

It is snowing here this morning … 😖 Tina … sorry to hear about your husband's injuries. Betsy … wonderful news about your sister! Both my husband and I are worn out after walking through Lowes and Home Depot (building supply stores) the past couple of days. The cement floors just kill us! I did, however, pick out tile for…

Hello Ladies! Yay! I found the bold button. Took me a while. Mo … I'm doing fine. Thank you for asking. Tired of the dreary days and looking forward to more Spring-like weather. The bathroom renovation continues. The demolition is mostly done and now we're waiting on things we've ordered. Still looking for a vanity cabinet…

Happy Birthday, Rita … hope you had a wonderful day! Beth

My scale is buried under bathroom construction debris so I don’t know if I weigh less this month but I’m guessing “no.” So mad at myself … made a bolognese sauce yesterday for dinner and made enough for freezing for several meals. Except I accidentally left it out on the counter well past safety guidelines. I had to trash…

Barbara … Happy Birthday! Barbie … thank you for moving us into March …. Which came in like a lion here. High winds, snow and cold! So ready for Spring. Re … so sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. Hugs. Beth near Buffalo

Mo ... So sad to see how a home can fall into disrepair ... but they did a very nice flip! Received another produce box ... a "regular" for $25 (instead of last week's large/$34) and I added farm eggs for $6. A gray day here near Buffalo Beth

Happy Birthday, Carla! Michele ... we were hoping to use a shower surround in our bathroom that we're redoing, but it's an alcove shower with a low ceiling ... so not enough circulation space to just go with green board. We have to tile too. But we're looking for a shower base (which is what we had with tile walls before)…

Allie ...I'm gonna have to agree with the others ... the house is too cold during the day for you and Delia. They need to find other ways to save on utility costs. Ginny ... hugs ... Rebecca ... sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt ... 96 is a long time! Sarah ... welcome. My husband has had multiple back surgeries…
-
Debbie ... Does your husband have both health and financial POA for his mom? Those documents should have gone over with her file when she went to the hospital. Even with documentation and forms and paperwork up the yazoo... getting and giving information in this kind of situation is unnecessarily difficult. I hope they…

Rebecca … the farmer charged $34.00. I priced the items using Walmart Groceries and Wegmans (large chain out my way). Choosing the low to mid range pricing, the items came to $32.80. Delivery was an additional 2.50. Aldis would probably be cheaper but I don’t always get great groceries from them. And part of the fun is now…

My produce box ... there were two errors in the contents. I had been given a choice of celery or 1 cuke and 2 roma tomatoes. I chose celery but got 2 roma tomatoes (and no cuke). I also had the choice of 2 qts of apples or 2 grapefruit. I chose grapefruit but got the apples. No big deal on either. I'll contact the farmer…

Barbie ... it will be 4 years this month that my son died. Some days the grief is safely contained; other days I'm overcome with raw pain. You are right that no one really knows what to say to those who are grieving. Megan Devine, author of "It's OK that You're Not OK," writes "that the way we deal with grief in our…

Lanette ... My A1C is checked every 6 months and I do not have diabetes. BUT, I am overweight and, without medication, flirt with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. The A1C test has always been covered by our insurance. And the Vitamin D test is covered as well which I have had done regularly. I've been confused…

Good morning! ... It is cold here too (6 degrees F), but nothing like Tracey's weather! Mo ... my oldest son was born 16 weeks premature back in the 80s. We spent 3 months in the NICU and had many hospital stays over the years. Never. Ever. would I have treated the nurses the way you are treated. Nurses were my life-line!…

Joann's ... I am not a sewer by any stretch of the imagination, but occasionally I have projects that require supplies and cloth. My last visit to Joann's was a train wreck. The staff were rude, the store looked like a hurricane went through and it was dirty! I couldn't find what I needed and the staff could've cared less.…

Kylia ... it's my understanding that a lot of the bread in the supermarkets comes to them frozen/partially frozen. Wonder if it's too much moisture or weird conditions at the store? I've taken to freezing all of my bread but a few slices. I was getting disgusted with buying specialty things like ciabatta rolls and having…
