I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Need, I still have a few things from when dd and sil lived when younger dgs was born. He is 17 now! Yeah, in a house there is always something. I agree with the dark chocolate. just got some 100% orange flavoured. Yum!!!
It’s always something, isn’t it? We are continually monitoring our household.
Way,
Oh my gosh, I have some of my daughters things in my closets! They never seem to completely move everything out of our homes.
Send,
I so agree about the chocolate! Has to be dark chocolate though 😊.
55 and up - why are you worried about your bathing suit? You're all in the same boat. I go in the pool and hot tub in the hotel near the condo, no problem.
Your estimate sounds good to me. I have cleared closets and many repairs are done. And I don 't move fast any more. Still tossing some clothing!
I’m S L O W L Y starting to get ready to downsize as well . DH wants to move to 55 and over that does outside maintenance and he would like a pool. Idk about that , I’m not up for being in a bathing suit with gossiping neighbors 😬😬🙄🙄.
I wear one when we go on vacation , but I figure I’ll never see those people again 😂😂😂😂😂.
Cleaning out closets and basement and doing painting , I’m figuring 2 years. Lol
Why, oh why, when I am dealing with my grocery order on my iPhone do I often get a needed phone call and today add on a gut explosion bad enough to scare the cat. I'm at the point where this is becoming funny! 🤣🤣🤣
Like what else can happen? maybe a sinkhole outside my house like Calgary just had. Wouldn't surprise me.
PEA is the same compound found in chocolate that is believed to produce chocolate’s positive effects on mood. The phenylethylamine in chocolate is believed to work by making the brain release b endorphin, an opioid peptide which is the driving force behind its pleasurable effects.
cat - Thx Good suggestion. it was a dog but could just as easily been a bear, and bungie cords won't stop them. The bin can stay in the garage for now. This is one of the many reasons I want to be in the condo. Picking up garbage at 10 at night wearing my flip flops with a coat over my nightie is not something I want to do any more!!!🚮
Please breathe, meditate and get sleep.
When I lived in 'the boonies' my own dogs would occasionally rummage through the garbage cart. Nothing like trash strewn all over the yard first thing in the morning.
Greetings to all of you. My cloud and I will now go and try to resolve this new problem.
Way, praying for your friend. Cancer is a horrible disease. My 70 yr old BIL has been fighting a rare skin cancer most of his life. He stopped responding to the treatment and is very thin. His son and wife are expecting a baby July 15th and he's hoping to make it that long. Sad situation
It’s interesting.
Sometimes we are in such pain that we may find it difficult to express our emotions.
My therapist suggested to journal daily. I found comfort in writing.
I also find comfort in reading. Written words can be quite powerful and leave a lasting impression.
My daughters would usually talk to me about their day at school. Once they acquired cell phones, they spoke less. They were captivated by the world of texting.
I missed our conversations so I decided to chime in by texting short messages. There is something non threatening about reading a message vs. hearing a message.
For awhile they spoke to everyone through text messages! As long as we had communication I didn’t care if it was a text or a short note written on our chalkboard in the kitchen.
I am so sorry to hear about your friend’s diagnosis of cancer. It’s really hard for us to watch our friends struggle with a health crisis.
I think sp gave a great suggestion. Gift certificates for restaurants are nice. I have given gift certificates when I am not exactly sure what to buy.
You can include a nice card and write a personal note.
I’m glad that you respected your friend’s privacy when she said that she couldn’t talk about it right now. I think it’s awful if someone pushes a person to speak about their situation before they have even had a chance to process it.
Thanks for the info on the tool for wax removal. I will do some research on this product.
Yay, we are getting a break from the smoke right now, but R said his breathing was really affected down where he is last night and he doesn't normally have any breathing issues, allergies or whatever. Today his area is good. It can change so fast. No sign of rain in the forecast for this area for the next week or so..
Stay safe golden .
re the fires, all the rain forecasts for this area have come to naught, but further south it has helped. Fortunately the air quality is better right now but that can change quickly. It is hazy and eerily quiet outside with very few people walking the trails or even the sidewalks. I did go out to visit dd yesterday even though it was very bad air quality. I just needed to get out.
Or I've heard it mentioned that a cozy throw or shawl is like a warm hug and may be useful during treatment.
(cancer sucks)
Golden, so sorry about the relentless fires.
Need, instead of cotton Qtips there are now these plastic spiral type you twist them and it catches the wax , and then pulls it out of your ear . I don’t know if they work well , but I saw a commercial .
I have thought about the wax buildup affecting my hearing because my husband often says that I play the television too loud. He doesn’t have wax buildup.
It has to be a genetic thing because it showed up on my DNA results. My brothers and mom had excess wax buildup. It is bothersome
Getshun,
I have horrible tinnitus since my 20’s. I loved Gilda Radner on SNL. She was so funny!
I already ate my ice cream.
My dH and I just took 1/2 of a Claritin. It dissolves like magic in your mouth.
Never had anything like it!
Keep it way from children, they will love the instantly disappearing medicine.
Yipes!
We were desperate. One can sneeze daily for just so long!
