Yes! That is me. My husband said the same thing - I should probably wear my splint everywhere! He thought it was funny that my PT debated even making me a new one since I was so close to not needing it at all. He says she would be better to make me a full-body bubble wrap one. Which decluttering group did you join? I…

Got my pin out yesterday and a new splint today, although I only need to wear it when walking for exercise or working where I might hit my finger. Lots of PT in my future but it should eventually make a pretty full recovery. I’m working on my word for 2021. I thought I had settled on upgrade, but now I’m leaning toward…

All caught up. No time to really comment, but had to say, Beth, Beth, Beth! Your Christmas spoiler was hilarious!

Margaret, my one and only Christmas spent in Minnesota, I don’t think it got above zero the whole time I was there. That was when Dave and I decided we’d spend Christmas in Georgia with my family and visit his for the 4th of July!

Maybe they will replace mine, too. I will find out on Tuesday. Meanwhile, my cheap CVS is working just fine. If it wasn’t Christmas......

Still no splint. The only things I did between knowing I had it and missing it were stripping and remaking the beds, sitting in my recliner scrolling my iPad, and using the bathroom. I re-stripped one bed today and I’ve dug in my recliner as far as I could reach. I wish I knew how to take it apart. I bought a cheap generic…

Michele, I looked in the freezer because I had gotten ice, and no, i had not been in my purse but I looked there anyway. I feel like it had the best chance of being pulled off while working with the sheets and blankets. If it doesn’t turn up when we turn the beds down tonight, I will strip them again tomorrow. Dave may…

I have lost my stupid finger splint. That itty bitty black piece of plastic that cost me $210. I had it when I got up this morning and it was gone when I went to take a bath about 3 hours later. The only thing I did was change the sheets on the beds. I have thoroughly searched the washing machine, the dryer, every trash…

Debby, I honestly think some people misunderstand disagree just like woo was misunderstood. When people disagree on your life situations, I think what they're really doing is saying they dislike the situation for you. Maybe they're just not "huggers." Who knows for sure? I've had people ignore posts at times, too, but be…

Thanks, Machka. I found it. I actually have 3 disagrees and it let me look at the posts that they were. Two of them, I think the person was using disagree like a dislike button. For example, one was the post about my friend dying. There was nothing disagreeable about it, but I could see someone "disliking" it on my behalf.…

Question for Faetta or Machka or anybody else who may know: how do you know how many disagrees you have? Do they count your hugs and likes for you, too? Thanks to all who gave well wishes for my mom. Hopefully time will heal her.

Thank you all for the well wishes for my mom (and me). I took her to the dentist this morning. He x-rayed her, said he didn't think she would need an oral surgeon but it's a little early to tell for sure. He said heal for three weeks, then come back for more x-rays and we will re-evaluate at that time. The good news is…

I have a really hard time with questions like the one thing, your favorite, the best, etc. I have so many.......

See spoiler. There should be two buttons. One says listen and one says watch. Click watch for video. They do it this way because lots of subscribers listen to these as podcasts. I have posted twice in the last couple of weeks, including this morning but can’t find the post later. I don’t know if I’m forgetting to hit the…

Fae, just type ngumc.org into your address bar and it will pop up. For some reason, I thought it was against forum rules to provide a direct link so I didn’t. Heather, thanks for checking it out. I’ll bet I did sound completely southern to you. I live in Northeast Georgia, so come by my southern accent quite naturally.

Allie, continuing to pray for you. I got my stitches out yesterday and a much smaller splint for my pinky. I can type with two hands again except for the pinky so that does speed things up a bit. I've hired a neighborhood teenager to wrap all my Christmas presents and have a housecleaner coming on Monday. Life is good! In…

Allie, I’m so sorry. Prayers for healing. Ginny, I fell and did a number on my pinky, displacing the joint and chipping the bone. The doctor realigned the bones with a pin and put in some little anchors in places where bone was eroded. Anchors will stay, pin will come out in a few weeks, and I will need physical therapy to…

I had my surgery yesterday. Having no use of my dominant hand is quite an inconvenience but life is good. I should be on the mend now. For those interested,

Welcome! I live about 60 miles northeast of Atlanta (off I-85). My daughter and her family are in Mableton.

Tracey, hugs and prayers. I cannot imagine the feelings you are experiencing. I am so sad for you. Machka, the graduation dress is absolutely perfect.

Which family? Might as well go with the Beverly Hillbillies. Except for the mansion part, it would pretty much be my family! I’m exhausted. I always work myself to death on Thanksgiving cooking the traditional stuff. Not only that, but my house is now decorated for Christmas. We never decorate this early, but I was afraid…

Re the Instant Pot vs InstaPot debate: I was watching Jeopardy the other night, catching up on some recorded episodes and the correct response was "What is Instant Pot?" The contestant said "What is InstaPot?" and Alex did NOT give him credit. The other two contestants had no idea what to say after that, because they…

Just wanted to catch y'all up on me. I posted a long PSA directed to all but specifically for Michele a couple of days ago, but hit something that make it go poof!, got mad and gave up. Do y'all remember my hurt pinky finger from TWO MONTHS AGO? Well, now that a lot of the swelling has gone down it is obvious that…

Michele, I searched on Amazon for a pocket watch/pedometer but the closest thing I found was a pocket pedometer that told you your exercise time. Won't you have your phone with you? You may to just get a simple pocket pedometer and use your phone for the time. Allie, I'm glad you are getting your health taken care of.…

All caught up. I've enjoyed the leggings debate. I have a whole drawer full, because I was quite addicted to the wild ones with solid color tunics for awhile, but I've grown tired of them. I still wear them around the house but not out in public. I more often wear workout leggings instead because I like the way the…

My aunt, who is 83 and in a nursing home since having a stroke a few years back, has COVID. They have moved her to a hospital. She is my Daddy’s only remaining sibling. All of Mama’s siblings are gone, although she has one remaining aunt who is really more her generation than her mother’s.

I stumbled across it on Facebook. I watched a lot of the free videos, which got me interested in the class. I watch a lot of that kind of thing on dressing with style, decluttering, eating healthy, etc. Every now and then one will interest me enough to actually shell out money, but not often. It’s what I do instead of…

The class is called Adore Your Wardrobe. There’s a FB page that you can follow. There are lots of free videos you can watch. I paid for the class I’m taking, which is 8 weeks long. The first three weeks you have lessons to do and videos to watch. The last 3 weeks are posting selfies of outfits and getting feedback on ways…

Hey, y’all! I’ve been reading and scrolling but haven’t had much to say. I’ve been busy with other stuff and concentrating on the online class on dressing your shape. Here’s an example of what I’ve learned. The photo on the left was my introduction photo wearing one of my favorite outfits. The one on the right is the new…

Heather, the rug is beautiful.
