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.

Where I live you have to get tested from your car if you have any kind of COVID like symptoms. They come out in full hazmat gear to test you. If you are just getting tested pre-surgery or something and have no symptoms, you can go inside. And no way would they let me inside for a mammogram. You really shouldn't even…

Congratulations! We paid ours off last October and it has been glorious. We were making double payments to get it paid off early so we just transferred that amount each month into the "repair and maintenance" fund. That's what has paid for our tree work that we had done in the spring and our garage and outside painting…

Depending on your pants, your experience may have been cheaper than mine. A $15 copay at the doctor and a $45 copay at the pharmacy for the tetanus shot would have bought me a pretty nice pair of pants! Seriously, my two falls about a month apart are not encouraging me as I age. My jammed finger is still not well, although…

Caught up on reading but no energy to comment. I’ve been working non-stop trying to get the garage back together. I was derailed for a bit yesterday when I tripped over a tree root, fell, and cut my knee wide open on gravel. It didn’t even make a hole in my pants, but required 5 stitches to close the wound. One more day of…

Congratulatios, Machka! You have worked long and hard for this!

Fly by post: Another former coworker died of COVID yesterday. She, her husband and daughter all got it. She and husband were hospitalized. Daughter recovered at home. Husband got to go home last week. She just got progressively worse. I'm so over this virus. Then today, as I was visiting my 87 and 91 year old parents, my…

Fae, on spelling of names. Mine has always been Kay but I remember going through a period of thinking it would be so much cooler to be Kaye. In recent years, I met a woman who has become a dear friend who spells her name Kae. She is the only person I know who spells our name that way. Karen, I remember your grief at the…

I’m a 38 H and my Wacoal Awareness bra is comfortable. My Glamorise sports bra is even more comfortable, so I choose it if I’m going to be working hard and getting sweaty. Going braless, on the other hand, is not comfortable unless I’m sleeping.

You got it!

Are you talking about the CBT oil for dogs? That was someone else. I have no idea. Well, today was jeans day on my dress your shape class and I learned that I should not wear skinny jeans. Tell that to the 4 pairs in my closet and the pair on my butt right now. I am willing to shop for one perfect pair as they describe,…

Machka I think, asked about shoes. I have shoe shelves under my hanging clothes where I store my everyday shoes with no boxes just lined up on the shelves. My dressier shoes are stored in their boxes on the top shelf of my closet. Michele, no the clothes don’t fall over when you take some out. If I take one from the…
