Barbie ... thank you for the new thread! Barbara ... Happy Birthday! Lisa ... laughed at your response to the nurse as well as your interpretation ... and your reply to Rebecca regarding children is spot on ... amazing to me how fish who swim in the same pond can turn out so differently ... Tracie ... nice to see you…

Oh Rita ... worry is debilitating. Praying you hear something soon about your son. Hugs. Beth

Pip ... praying for the pain to lessen tonight too. Flea ... you are in my prayers as well ... In fact, many of you enter my prayers late at night when I can't sleep and I recall all that have challenges. Your names come to mind and I pray. Hope you all don't mind that ... I care about the ladies who take time to post…

Pip ... I know you take life head on with a matter-of-fact attitude. Not sure how you feel about prayer, but you know that I'm all about that ... so also know that I am praying specifically for you and this newest challenge. I'll be praying that whatever the mass turns out to be that it will be addressed completely and…

Kay ... how are you and your family? Pip ... everything looks great! Tina ... beautiful part of the world! Rita ... hang in there ... Karen ... I remember Josephine ... so very thankful she is in remission. KJ ... we have dehumidifiers in the basement and also have heating ducts down there ... usually cut them back but…

And it's raining heavy again today!! We're keeping an eye on the basement and so far ... fingers crossed ... so good. The snow pack isn't as thick this time around. Vicki ... it dried pretty well so far ... I worry about mold too so had fans going and moved everything that came in contact with water so it could have a dry…

Barbie ... I've always been one to plan my shopping trips usually due to watching the budget. As gas prices rise, I'm mapping out the routes we go as well. Feel like I'm being a good steward of our money that way even when no one else in the house seems to care .. but that's another story. Today, after receiving our…

This is a sign of being too tired. I baked a pan of peanut butter bar cookies and they were sitting on the counter cooling. As soon as they were out of the oven I started on a chicken casserole for tonight's dinner. It’s a layered chicken dish (King Ranch Chicken Casserole)... definitely not diet friendly but that's what…

Pip ... seek medical attention. You are very in tune with your body and this is not normal for you. I'm here and I'm reading. Very complicated and busy at this time with my parents. Dad, bedridden in the assisted living apartment is maintaining and Mom is doing all she can at the skilled nursing rehab to get her broken…

Apparently breaking large bones runs in the family. Received a call last night that my mom (almost 91) fell while getting out of the shower in her new senior/assisted living facility. She broke her femur up high near the hip and had a rod inserted this morning in a 2-hour surgery. There were no surprises and we're hopeful…

Aww Rebecca ... hugs to you ... Vicki ... bravo to you for being bold and specific with the CEO! And kudos to the young woman who was on her knees cleaning a crappy floor! Tracey ... hoping this weekend is a restorative time for you. Flea ... praying for you ... Carla ... a women's semi-pro football team! Congrats to your…

MFP ... Recently, I have had to log in every time I use my apple computer. No need to log in with my apple iPhone. And tonight MFP not only wanted me to log in but then said "something went wrong." I selected "community" anyways and was able to see my bookmarks. Phones ... I have both landline and cell. Landline, along…

Allie ... loved the photos of Carmine and Miles. It's nice to put a face with a name and those two are cute! Ginny ... great job on the table ... furniture assembly is not for the faint hearted! Beautiful sunny days yesterday and today and not quite so cold. I am struggling with carb cravings. Still eating within my time…

Kylia ... Happy Birthday! Michele ... a titration sleep study will help your sleep neurologist determine which machine and which settings are best for your sleep apnea. Cpap machines deliver one constant pressure (C) and a Bipap is bi-level (Bi) which means there's two pressures ... usually an inhale and an exhale…
-
Lisa ... thank you for the non-NSAID medication information. Interesting. Kay ... thinking about you ... you are so right that this stage with our parents is so rough. Barbara ... I am always so impressed with how intentional you are in your making time for Joe. Since my husband retired I am noting that if we don't do the…

Lisa … mind sharing the name of the anti inflammatory that isn’t a NSAIDS? Barbie … thanks for the new thread. Betsy … wonderful news indeed! Beth near Buffalo

Sue ... Happy Birthday! Michele ... very sorry to hear about Clyde. Hugs. Minicooper ... glad your mother is doing better. Funny how daughters see things differently than sons. Kim ... I make a lot of soup. Good soup. My leek and potato soup was blah. Allie ... so very sorry to hear about the young woman's death from…

Lake effect snow bands have kept us from traveling to my parents today. Will be keeping an eye on the weather to see when we can try again ... Saturday or Monday maybe. There's no urgent reason for us to be there today. We were going to hang pictures, clean out the house freezers, things of that nature that can easily be…

Debbie ... I just found about the reimbursement through insurance yesterday at my pharmacy. I was allowed to purchase 6 tests and I immediately came home and submitted a claim. I was told the carriers in my area have agreed to pay for 8 tests per month. My husband and I are visiting my 90-something parents weekly and need…

Welcome ... to the new ladies. Hugs ... to so many of you dealing with family dynamics and illness, personal issues, and the gray days of January (here in the northern hemisphere). I've been reading, but I'm behind, and by the time I catch up others have already made the comments I would have offered. I've been off kilter…
-
Michele … yes you can freeze wine. Some people say it changes the taste slightly but most people don’t notice and if you’re using it in cooking no one would notice. KJ … glad hubby didn’t need to stay overnight in the hospital. NY has assistance in paying for health insurance based on income. I would think each state has…
-
Minicooper ... glad you came back to read the caring comments made in regard to you and your mom. I tend to click the "hug" button when pressed for time. When I initially joined this group (years ago), I often felt like I was being ignored ... which was not the case. Lisa has explained the nature of this thread well. It's…
-
Penny ... there are no words to express how we feel when someone experiences a loss. I am so glad you were able to be with your mom one last time. A gift. Mary ... I would not rent an apartment without a dishwasher. But there's a caveat... the dishwasher had either be in pristine shape or new. I hate doing dishes and since…

Lisa ... hoping Cory is just suffering from a cold. If it helps, know that my son, husband and I were triple vaxxed. My son developed covid and we did not isolate from him in our home (too small). Neither my husband nor I contacted covid and our son's case was mild. My brother was double vaxxed and his wife triple vaxxed.…

2-sleeps ... I always slept from the minute my head hit the pillow until it was time to wake up ... until this past year. Now I find that I more often than not have a 2-3 hour wake period in the middle of the night and I'm not impressed. Other than using the bathroom, I stay in bed and use the time to organize my thoughts…

chantal … welcome! I loved your post! Beth near Buffalo

Rori ... Happy Birthday! Heather ... So hard when people we love are suffering ... Barbie ... Happy Anniversary! Annie ... have you ever had a physical therapist or personal trainer help guide you in the exercises you do? I destroyed my knee with kettle bell squats that I thought I was doing correctly. Might be worth…

Dental Work ... must be the week to see the dentist. I was at my dentist on Monday for a "cleaning." Came out 474.00 poorer after he found a cracked filling that needed replaced. Sigh. Beth near Buffalo
-
Allie ... you're not just a good grandma, you're a good person. Your family is blessed to have you involved in their lives. KJ ... so sorry the little ones are coming down with Covid. A good idea to shut down and not only let the germs settle, but for you to get some rest too. If your head cold/suspected covid is like my…
