Congrats Rita!!!! I think it is more frustrating to loose something in a small space, because it seems crazy that you can't find it.

April - that is great news!!! He has a long haul ahead of him, but what a great improvment. And to have him closer is great. Kim in N. California

snowflake...... OH my!!!!! this is priceless -

Barbara Coastie - I spent $170 for 1 night in my home for Levi at christmas time. and I am finding that $50-$80 per night per dog is the going rate, around here extra for a walk.... As I am working on getting ready to offer to watch folks dogs overnight at my home to create a bit more cash.... I'd offer you a friends on…

Hi Gals, Lisa – that cardiologist is cute, and he has just the right amount of accent, enough to be charming, and not so much that it hard to understand. That made me think of this event from my history….. When I was 18 ish I needed to leave the pediatrician and get my own adult doctor…. So I got a GP family doctor who was…

Lanette - when I was working in the camp garden, I would start tomatoe and pepper seeds in early january so they were ready in 4 inch or bigger pots to go out in April. Your growing season is a bit later than we are down here but you might want to pot those seed up asap if you have room so you have bigger plants for…

Hi Gals, Flea – money worries are so draining – glad things are looking up and DH will be happier if he is contributing and doing something he wants to do. Allie – Staying in bed so you don’t eat is a different strategy, but one that I don’t think will be successful. LOL I know you know how to do this, log everything thing…

Hi Gals, I woke up yesterday with a dozie of a cold…. I have not had a cold since 2019, so drank herbal tea and slept yesterday. Went to the store this morning and got some drugs. I really can’t take any more time off of work, so need to be able to function. Luckly for me since I take so little meds I respond quickly. I…

Pip - I love the new furniture layout, it lets in more natural light and the room seems bigger. Kim N.California

Thanks Barbie!

Barbie - could you try to re-attach the link? It did not show up for me. thanks Kim

Hi Gals, Welcome to all the newbies and sorry to everyone that I am barely responding and my posts are all about me, but my world is sucking up all my energy. I did get on the scale this morning and oh my! By Christmas my walks with Levi were down from 2 miles to 1 and they continued to sink in distance as it was too hard…

Hi Gals, Tracey - I told my counselor about “the rock in your pocket “ story about grief and she loved it. I tear up and remember it is the rock in my pocket. I have been continuing to read, just not much to say. Margaret – I get it! I can deal with the how are you doing questions… and with a few very close friends more….…

Hi Gals, Lisa and Katiebug, I was smiling from ear to ear listening to you talk about the eclipse - I am up for watching if I can do it from my backyard. But have never understood folks going hundreds of miles to see one. Especially when it could be cloudy, foggy, raining…… I do understand it could be an excuse, but wow!…

margaret - good call on login's and passwords... Kim in N. California

Hi Gals, Lanette , Margaret, Annie – please get titles (car/house/etc.) in the name of living people. My grandma didn’t do it – she had inherited some real property and left it in the deceased person’s name, and some in her first husbands name and then when she died it was a nightmare! Ordering copies of death certificates…

Hi Gals, Grief sucks. The weather in N. California has been frightful. Yesterday there was a break and I cleaned branches and debris from my front yard, cut it all up and filled one of my 90 gallon “green” cans those go into city compost. I have a second green can that I hope to fill with branches and debris from the back…

Hi Gals, I’ve been reading but not participating. I sent good thoughts to each of you, cheers for the celebrations, hugs for the sad parts, welcome to the newbies and peace for everyone. It was a 4-5 month decline, and the last 3 weeks were really tough but on Thursday February 1, I said my last goodbyes to Levi as he…

Hmmm, Halloumi is not something I have ever seen on a menu (granted I only go out 2-3 times a year) and had to look up when Heather mentioned it many months ago. I saw it in a grocery and bought it, it was very expensive, cooked it, but I put it in the trash, as it was so bad. I have never noticed it again, how ever never…

Alright Lisa and Heather - A few weeks ago I bought some and googled how to cook it and ended up with fried salty dish sponge! I just figured it was a heather thing, she is a more adventurous eater than I am BUT Lisa is not usually our adventurous eater! Did I just get some weird bad piece? Kim

Margaret - sorry to hear of DH's passing glad you had hospice they are so helpful. Sending thoughts of peace to you. Kim in N. Cal

margaret and annie - thinking of you....

Allie - Nightmare before christmas is rated PG and from what I read about it I would be having nightmares - I do. not. do. scary movies. chicken Kim in N. California

Hi Gals, Some of this is old, I started a post and then life got in the way and while I have continued to read I have not commented…so here is the notes I made and what I remember …. Not much! LOL Michele – I had to look up “Blow molds” They would take a lot more room to store than the ones with the blower that fill with…

Just a pop in to say thank you Barbie!!!!

Hi Gals, Christmas decorations – I put outside lights up in Nov. BUT don’t light them until 12/1. I get a fresh tree (maybe not next year) so don’t put it up until the 2nd weekend of December and usually take it down the week after new years, as by then it is drying out and is a hazard. Inside non-tree decorations are put…

Such great pictures.

Anne - my thoughts are with you. Kim

Hi Gals, Michele – RSV has a close friend of mine in the hospital, she is a bit older than you I think (68) and she caught it from some where in the community – just from doing life…. I got my vaccine as part of the drug trials which I was a part of. I got the Pfizer one. I got into the drug trials, not because I was that…

Pip - "there is no timetable to get over grief" is so true!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the "stages of grief" is hogwash. thinking of everyone grieving someone at this time. Love kim
