I love the TV clip Kelly!!!! you did not babble! or sound like a crazy person letting kids play with trash LOL

Hi Gals, Such a busy time for me…. Everyone is suddenly remembering that they want something embroidered for the holiday. But those folks who plan ahead gave me enough business that I was full for delivery by Christmas by Nov. 1 ! So I am living and breathing my sewing machine. I do have a big stack of stuff for January,…

Thanks Barbie!

I took the test Lisa sent the link too.

Flea - I thought that might be the one. If I was ready to move, that might have been the place! Might be a bit far from town for what I want next but everything else looks great on the listing! Kim

Flea - I followed the link and got to the realtor and he has a collection of open listings, but wasn't sure which was yours..... maybe I missed something. Kim

you're right - I cried. Kim

rebecca - sorry I got the boys mixed up on who was who..... Kim

Hi Gals, Tracey – I think Lisa figured out one of the underlying issues – the finances and fears. Could you have a conversation about the issues from that direction? Maybe DH would consider meds if it was not about his dad, but to work with you to fulfill the financial goals you have together? Rebecca – yes your son is an…

Lisa - The basket is amazing! until you started with this adventure into polymer clay, I had never heard of it, so just did some googling and it sounds like at least some of it is not food grade...What are you going to do with the basket, as my first thought was a bread basket or a what a great thing to put a 9 x 13 pan it…

Hi Gals, Pictures – all of them! I love them - I love the little glimpse into your neighborhoods; your lives sometimes they even tell me I skimmed too much – Lisa your wonderful pottery in my mind was a light very slightly teal color…. And I sat stunned looking at the picture, and was so glad to read the comment and find…

Hi Gals, Barbara – coastie - I don’t know if you have one, but a turkey on the BBQ is a wonderful option if the oven is not working… I have a Webber kettle BBQ and when I do a turkey I do it on that with great results. Laughingdakini1- sorry to hear of the loss of your cat. Fur babies are such a big part of our families.…

Hi Gals, So I decided to make a multi-bean soup; because I had accumulated small amounts of a bunch of different beans. So I soaked them overnight as you would, then cooked them in the crockpot (I don’t have any of the new pots/fryers) and cooked them and cooked them…LOL many of these dried beans I had owned for many…

hi gals.... Lisa - I have a clock that was a horizontal slice of a tree all cleaned up and then oiled and a hole drilled for the clock mechanism and the numbers glued in place I really love it... I am sure you can make something personal in clay. thinking of everyone. Kim in N. California

Pip you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh machka - so happy to hear you got to go to canada! I know how much you missed your family. Can't wait to hear what you want to share.

Hi Gals, Thanks for the input. Pip – you’ll do great – maybe not as well as you are used to but you are in overall such good shape that you are starting ahead of most folks when they start training. Glad they have lockers and were able to adjust your registration. Love ya all, Kim in N. California

Hi Gals, Allie – that insurance number doesn’t surprise me, but knowing the car payment and the insurance, is good knowledge. I don’t know in Connecticut but in CA our yearly registration (tags) is based on how much you spend, on my 2006 car the registration cost me almost $200. You may want to check on that number too. I…

Karen - sending thoughts, love and hugs Kim in N. California

Barbie - That neighbor has a weird idea of being helpful... I wish we lived closer you could use my dryer!!!! Kim in N. California

Annie - I used the bell system with my mom- mostly because at the time it was free (I had some bells) It worked but was kinda a pain because it got used for urgent issues but also for things like I was laying here thinking and couldn't remember what we had for dinner.... that happened about 2 am.. If she had not started to…

Hi Gals, Allie – no one can tell you what will work best for you. But for me the question is how many serious repairs in the last year (serious doesn’t include tuneups, tires, wipers, hoses, brakes). And how much was spent. Then you can divide the amount spent over 12 months and compare it to payments – or “cost of money…

So TRUE!!!!! I even had to stop and think for a minute because it has been so many years.

thanks Barbie!!!

Allie - I drive a honda crv it's 4 cylinder gets about 30mpg but it is not 4 wheel drive, it comes that way but I didn't feel i needed it in the flat lands of California. I have about 250,000 and it is still going strong.

pip - is everything ok?... "No time for spin or the gym today" is just not like you!!!! Hope you were busy doing very fun stuff!

Michele - It is interesting how words frame the same thing differently - I was talking to my counselor and called what I was doing manipulation, you called it "sneak" ; my counselor called it orchestrating for the greater good. I am owning the title of Mother Orchestrator. And I here by knight Annie as Parent Orchestrator.…

Hi Gals, Annie- I have had a similar problem with my mom on the bills, of course, it has some differences. But what I did was get a old fashion paper address book. I found one at Staples – it’s a chain of business/home stationary supplies – not sure what is in your area. And then I used it to begin to collect data. So for…

Hi Gals, I forgot to mention…. So with my embroidery business a lot of what I do is reasonably boring…. Company logos on 10 shirts, names on towels or blankets, letter jackets while more involved are pretty similar. But I met with a 16-year-old swimmer that I am doing a letter jacket for, and found out in talking to her…

i Gals, I didn’t take good notes but have thoughts about things that were said, and no idea who the thoughts go with…. LOL so I’m just going to type stuff I’m thinking and if it fits I must have been thinking about you! Couple of picture stuff – The floor is gorgeous! And impressed that you did it yourselves. I too have…
