  • Pip The scooter is just too cute. Just like two little ones holding hands! SO glad it will remain in the family. Rebecca I loved the story about your grandparents. As far as living together rather than being married so they would not lose their social security benefits, we had a similar situation in our family. A great…

  • Dear Wonderful Women, I am back. I said this a few years ago, but this time I mean it. I missed you. I viewed some of the posts for the last few days and you are all still here! I should have known that you would all be here. Thank you Barbie for leading the charge. My personal life has completely changed. I will spare you…

  • Barbara You asked me to repeat the story about getting hit…I was stopped at an intersection waiting for someone to get to the other side of the street before starting my turn as that person was crossing in the crosswalk with a guide dog. A rather impatient young man in a huge SUV couldn’t be bothered slowing down and…

  • Matchka Been there, done that. What gives people the right to assume? And we all know what happens when one assumes.... Seriously, are you anywhere near a university? You might be able to hire a grad student studying social work, physical therapy or neurology, etc. To be a patient advocate and help you with the mounds of…

  • Your town newspapers and libraries and historical societies may want the pictures for their archives. They may even be able to identify people or occasions. CJ

  • Matchka You said: "Ever since my husband's accident I've felt all of my 51 years if not many more. Just feeling really worn out these days." The weariness and exhaustion are from creating a single set of footprints in the sand. Ease your husband from your back, take his hand, and have him walk next to you. His steps will…

  • Michelle Jess sounds like a star. Kudos for you influence. The dragonfly is adorable. Katla the upside to only doing a sitting trot is that it might pound away the pounds on my backside! [Sue/b] how was the wedding? Cheri Love, love, love British mysteries. One of my favorite series was Rosemary and Thyme about 2 ladies…

  • Ginger I never thought of glucose monitoring. Thanks for the idea. I will ask my doctor. Meanwhile, it must be really upsetting to have eye concerns. We all rely on them so much. You, however, should so calm. Matchka can you go to a dental school for assistance with the teeth? The faculty and house staff may be able to do…

  • Did I mention that I am now weighing everything, putting reading food container in the fridge, putting the weighed portion on my plate, and then eating it? That seems to be the secret this time. I have several food inclusive events this week. I will check the menus before I go and log my voice before I order.

  • Hello All it is finally raining, a nice steady rain. Of course, it waits until the county fair week. But we desperately need it. We had lots of rain in May and early June. Then it went immediately to the upper 90s and did not come down. I lost my zucchini overnight and some ornamentals to aphids. The Neem oil seems to have…

  • Carol is there anyway that you and a friend could drive? Is there a bus? I am so sorry that you are missing out because of someone else's bad behavior. Have you both taken the AARP or an insurance company driving class? In addition to shaving a hefty discount on your auto policy, it may be a real eye opener to your…

  • AllieMy husband recently died. I gave everything away to the Veterans Home. Now I wish I had saved something more than his officer's melton. He was buried in full dress blues and medals. However, I like to think that his things are giving comfort and dignity to those without families to provide nice clothing. Maybe I will…

  • Lanette A friend and I built a replacement deck from composite boards. You are right about picking quality. I don't think that this material is any hotter than the old treated lumber deck in summer. We also replaced another deck with wood on another house. Unfortunately, it has to be restained every few years. Check with…

  • Rye I love it! If Mr. Kidd Kirby will sit on your toes and purr, may I borrow him tomorrow? I will be in desperate need. Riding for the first time in well over a year. Barely squeezing into pants. Light tan and show every single pump and pound. CJ

  • Karen in NY Try putting hot pepper laced suet in a feeder right next to the entry where the squirrels get into your attic. Other than setting up a motion activated water hose, I can't think of anything squirrels hate more. It is the only thing keeping those ##***#### critters away from my feeders and the roof.
