Hi Lovely Ladies, Tina and a few others have mentioned figuring out living on less. I thought I would throw out some ideas, I live on a pretty limited budget, and try to do it while living a pretty good life. This is all thought based on saving money – not time and are best if everyone living in the household are on the…

Hi Lovely Ladies, I have been reading along and wishing everyone who has had a June and early July birthday a very happy one, the same with anniversaries!!! I love all the pictures grand kids, pups, kitties, scenery….. Wish I had the energy to comment on all of the events and pictures when they happened but not right now.…

pip- I remember my goldens and Levi (springer spaniel) with all the love I have, and yet I know I made the right decision at the time of their passing; as you have with all of your dearly loved pups. They touch our hearts, and each pup keeps a piece of our heart, but hearts grow more pieces for more pups, when the time is…

Flea - thanks for the comparison to GF - It was the perfect for me comparison and made me feel less alone in the weirdness that is my world. Love Kim

Hi ladies, I can’t explain how strange it is to wake up each morning feeling fine, to realize as the sun comes up and lights my bedroom that I still have limited vision. To realize once again that my world is limited by my vision and by what I want to ask help doing. Realize I type this feeling both limited and completely…

quick note on Showers…. I stopped taking a daily shower during California's last long drought 2012-16 water was so expensive, and if you went over your allowance there were fines. So any day I was not tooo dirty I did not shower, and even when I did it was turn on water wet body and hair turn off water, lather and shampoo,…

I’ve been reading along, someone mentioned my food budget and how low it is. I thought I would share some of what I do as probably each of us likes to keep our budget under control. First, I am far more attentive to this than most would be. I am a bit over the top on this, but it allows me to have more spending money. My…

Machka - I am not sure about the difference in MRI machines but the times I have needed to do them - all off me is inside the machine and it is not a narrow cave but shaped just like one. My experience is lie on back on a narrow gurney like thing - maybe more like a bobsled, get put into the position they want you, then…

Thinking of you Pip and Kirby! Sending hugs. Lisa – slowing you down will be your challenge! But you can do this. All the pictures ! Love it. MRI – I have to be drugged – as someone else mentioned just thinking about it makes my body twitch, and me to get all freaked. I had one about 30 years ago, no meds, and I was so…

Today was get the packing out of my nose day…. And I was hoping for it to be so much better than it was so today was a bit of a cry, feel a bit sorry for myself day, but I am pulling up my big girl panties and reminding myself how much I have. Tomorrow is a in person counseling appointment and a video call with the…

Lanette – my nephew lives almost 2.5 hours each way from my mom, so no. But he and his girlfriend were down there this weekend. His girlfriend is a force of nature – reminds me of myself sometimes and yet because she still in her 20’s she gets all the delivery services and stuff that I have yet to figure out. I know I can…

Barbie - you teach us restraint and self talk each day in the best way.

Hi ladies, Well another day in the challenging world of limited vision. I wake up and it takes about 3 hours to have my vision fill in to the most I’ll have that day, today was a smaller window with more field of vision on the right side then the left. That lasts 4 ish hours and then dusk falls and the window doesn’t…

Hi Gals, I played more with my computer yesterday, and found “most?” of the accessibility settings and have set the font larger, I would like it to be bolder but have not found that as a default, but larger with more space between the lines is allowing me to focus with less eye stain and with better ability to proof. It…

hi ladies, I got to page 5. I will read everything eventually. Thank you to Lisa for sending along my updates. To fast moving and too much going on to be able to have updated you myself. Thanks for all the good wishes. Where I stand now is I am 6 days from surgery. I had 2 surgeries back to back. One removed a tumor, the…

Thanks Barbie! Love your technique on the fence washing project, smiles Kim in N. California

Couple of stray thoughts….. Machka - I can not imagine being cash free, and doing everything via a card or phone. In 2025 alone I had to replace all my ATM/Credit card twice because the readers at retailers were hacked. So for the 1-2 weeks it took to get new cards my only options were cash or checks. Our systems are too…

Hi Gals, Pip – Happy Late Birthday!!!! I am sad to hear about Yogi, I had a traveling Vet come in with one of my dogs it is so much better! I feel like yogi is part of our group here and will miss him when he goes. You have such a great way with the training and making the pups part of the family. Yogi has had a great life…

Hi Gals, In my head I have committed to commenting here at least once a week….. usually over the weekend. I got so overwhelmed with work from October till Christmas and then the backed up stuff from Christmas that I am just now coming out of it… and I did not fully realize until I started to surface. You add to that a new…

Hi Gals, Just a few minutes of typing I am about done in…. I was up early and getting things done when about 11 am I got a call from my nephew, he was having a hard time putting a sentence together he was so upset. Turns out my brother (his dad) had a stroke and was in the ambulance headed to the hospital. Dropped…

Allie - good news with your kidney Beth - sorry to hear about Mom, hope they can find a balance in her meds that keep things as comfortable as possible. mo - from all we have learned about you and your outlook every family would want you to nurse their family - and the complex ones are the ones that especially want/need…

Barbie - thanks for bringing us into May!

Kay - so sorry to hear about your brother, what a difficult time. I know you will take care of your family, but as Lisa said, please take care of yourself also. Sending hugs Love Kim

Lisa, As a 5' tall human myself I have at many times gotten way creative to do the things I needed to do. When I worked in corporate America I would occasionally need to rewire a office or cubical for phone and computers. Which would involve 2 or 3 12 foot ladders one for me, and one or two that I would use to put the…

Lamb cakes are in my humble opinion hysterical - bunny cake maybe? Carrot cake ok….. But Lambs? and the decorated faces are unbelievable! smiles, sad, some have a sexy look with lashes….

Michele - google lamb cake images! It is a white or chocolate cake, cooked into a lamb mold.. Let me see if I can attach a pic.

Hi Gals, Happy spring, So a funny story, my housemate is of Mexican descent and grew up in a fully Mexican family- and so for this Easter I asked if there was anything that he would miss from home that we could re-create so mostly the answer was no. I asked about Easter Dinner - they do a potluck with 40-50 family - I told…

That system is beyond crazy making! I hate it when rules contradict each other. Most of these things I can look at like a complicated board game, I just need to figure out the rules then I can jump the hoops in a way to get what I need - but that system makes it so no one can win. What did you do to get the very first…

Lisa - What a marketing choice a small piece of "heavy equipment" called "Bad Boy" made me smile… It looks like a really handy piece of equipment for your property. Kim
