Lesley9337 Welcome to our thread! Yes, we are a busy, chatty bunch, don't feel you need to reply or comment on each post (a mistake I made at first!) Because we are so chatty, you'd get nothing else done all day! lol Just jump into whatever conversation interests you, our subjects are varied although we do try to stay away…

Forgot to get my check in info to Lanette today, but am happy to report that I am within .2 of a pound from where I was at the end of March, so headed in the right direction again! Very cloudy here today, so didn't notice the eclipse at all, we only had a partial anyway, so.... I do remember the one in 2017, it was kind of…

Sue, if you haven’t already, you should take pics of the damage/mess left behind by your tenant, maybe even get the lawyer over as a legal witness. If she tries to sue you for anything the pics should help your side of the story. Beth so sorry to hear of your mother’s decline, definitely hard on everybody. Carol so sorry…

Sue! yay for toxic tenant leaving! I'm sorry that she left such a mess, but I assume you were expecting that. It is too bad that her next landlord will have no idea of what they are getting into with her, but at least she's out of your hair! Heather, I can't get over how quickly you went from being so active to barely…

Lisa, the planter looks great! I’m sure it will work perfectly well even if it’s not a professional job! Heather, so glad you have dates for both surgeries. Hopefully the docs will get the paperwork together for you for the travel insurance. I can’t remember who made the comments, but just wanted to clarify, my gp was led…

Machka, so exciting news about the house! It sounds lovely and the view is fabulous! We have laminate flooring throughout, the only carpet is on the stairs for both noise and slip reduction. I like the laminate, but if our pockets had been deeper, I would have liked the vinyl plank flooring. I think it is a little more…

Barbie, thank you for a new month! Funeral (or lack of) stuff: Thanks for the comments on my cake, it didn't turn out exactly like I wanted, but the grands were impressed! And the cake itself tasted good, so it's a win. I am looking forward to this new month, dandelions are popping up all over the place, so spring weather…

Not perfect, but not bad for a first time! Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Michele, I'm so sorry to hear about Loki. I know it was coming for a while, but it's still hard to let them go. Rita, I've never had a panic attack (not sad about that!) and yours sound so frightening! I think I would be in panic mode just worrying about having another panic attack! I sincerely hope that you are able to…
-
Pip, so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I am very glad that you decided to go up when you did, even if she was "out" I'm sure she knew you were there. {{{HUGS}}} Evelyn, Vancouver Island
-
Heather, while I'm sad for you that the hip surgeries will wipe out your savings, I'm happy that you will have a solution sooner rather than later. There is a long wait (18 months or so) here for knee or hip replacements. I have heard of folks going to Thailand for that kind of stuff and a friend of mine has been getting…
-
Rita, wow! That’s quite the panic attack! Hope you are able to relax today and regain your equilibrium. Heather hope your dr visit is productive. Must dash off to the gym. Friends coming over this afternoon, so looking forward to seeing them! Evelyn, Vancouver Island
-
Ginny, Lisa said it so well! That sounds like a pretty cavalier approach to me too, not sure I would want those guys in my house....
-
Lanette, I'm glad you at least looked at the house, now you won't be wondering "what if?" Sometimes better to deal with what we know we have than to buy someone else's problems! Machka, sounds like you dodged a bullet with the home you were looking at! Spongy floors would not encourage me to sign here! Buckets in the…
-
Rebecca, I'm so glad that your middle sister is taking a more active part in communicating, I know you were quite concerned about her. Eli is just the cutest! Michele, my friends and I didn't get together, but we will this coming Monday, it's normally a weekly thing, but stuff keeps happening! lol That's enough for me,…
-
Carol, I'm so sorry to hear of your brother in law's passing, although it does sound as if it was for the best. Hugs to you and your hubby. April, I forgot yesterday, but YAY for your son waking up! Such good news! Please refresh my memory, was it a car accident he was in? Tracey, thanks for the school info, I'm so excited…
-
Lisa, Yikes on the tree! You sure did get lucky with that one! I wasn't here when your granddaughter was born, thank you for posting that pic, she is adorable! Heather, I wasn't here when Bea was born either, thank you for posting the pic, another adorable baby! And she's growing up into quite the little lady, loved the…
-
Lisa, like you I have had issues with using chicken breast in stir fry type dishes as it always seems to dry out and while I don't have as bad a reaction as you do, it's still unappetizing. Then I found this recipe, on Facebook of all places! I've put it in a spoiler as it makes this post a little long otherwise. Tracey,…
-
Michele, the engine light wasn't blinking on and off, it would come on for a few days, then go off again for a few. I was told that if it starts blinking that I need to park it immediately as that's a bad thing! Tracey, the closest thing they could come up with was possible the PCV valve. I just got an estimate to replace…
-
Beth, thanks, we don't have a gas cap, but I did push the springy thing in, it didn't work. I mentioned this to the gal at the dealership and she said that worked on older vehicles when vapor locks were common, but not so much anymore. :( Evelyn
-
Well, here I am at the car dealership. My check engine light keeps coming on and then going off again. Fortunately there is a history that can be checked so they got an error code that eats there is an air leak. Now they figure it's something in the engine. At this point I'm very happy that our tax refund is a biggie, I…
-
Barbie, thank you for another month! Lisa, congrats on paying off the house! I also chuckled while reading your spoiler stuff, you’re absolutely right, gotta laugh about it, the crying just takes too much out of a body! Barbara, please add me to the well wishers list for Katla, using my photo or whatever you need is fine…
-
Rita, YAY!! So happy that you found your watch! Beth, thank you. And hugs to you for the loss of your son. In my case, it has been my parents preceding me, the natural order of things so it’s easier to bear. I did lose a very dear friend 20 years ago, she was only 46. I still really miss her. Lisa, sure hope the VA will…
-
Hi ladies! I've been reading, but once again, just not able to actually reply to anybody. This is a bad time of year for me, too many death-versaries. I had a dr's appt a few days ago and we talked about that and he said that at least I recognized what was happening and that was half the battle. He is right, and I have…
-
Kim, I’m so sorry about Levi. Many, many hugs to you. Debbie, sorry the friend bailed on you. Could you not have gone without him? I agree that maybe something closer to home and just for the two of you could be better. Allie, hugs to you on the loss of your aunt. I see pros and cons to giving Alfie to Tom and Elena. I’m…
-
Lanette, I keep forgetting to mention Ally’s passing. Even though you said the chickens weren’t “real” pets, I’m sure it was difficult. I do think that laying her to rest somewhere that she can be a participant in the circle of life was very appropriate. Hugs to those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome…
-
Rita, con very gratulations on six months sober!! Proud of you, girl! Tracey, I think Michele was wondering if some were jealous of the go fund me page or maybe about Kaitlyn and hubby trying the in vitro again. Are any of them wanting and not able to conceive? I don’t need to know the answer, just something to rattle…
-
Annie, I’m glad your mom’s service went well. I hope you and your sister can get all the paperwork at least organized so that it will be easier for you to go thru. Hopefully the two of you can get the bulk of it done. Evelyn, Vancouver Island
-
Margaret I’m so sorry to hear of your husband’s passing but glad that it was peaceful. Cuddling with DrewB definitely is in order. Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Add me to the list of those who dislike scary/horror movies! I will watch a good mystery and even a slightly psychological thriller, but prefer fluffier! lol No way would I let my grandkids watch anything by Tim Burton! Their parents might, but they get Disney Channel at my house! Also add me to the list of those who are…
