    2024 Resolutions

    Re my post on another thread, I let go of years worth of things holding me back. I had a yard sale. It takes three days to set up, get out old boxes of really good stuff that didn't sell last year; hubs and son set up tables and ladders on saw horses; put up the pop up canopy and one umbrella...

    What if DH/DW Couldn't?

    I have had depression for over 20 years. I was high functioning and successful in my career. Been taking Citalopram. But lately, I'm toast. Burnt toast. So much so, I tried to reach out for help via my PA and medicare. There was one person referred, and when we spoke, she has a very busy...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    We had a driveway sale yesterday and then again shortly today. It was miserable. I was so discouraged, I packed up some of the stuff and took it to the thrift store when we closed. There is still a ton out there. Maybe Saturday today will be busier? Wasn't worth the aggravation of three days of...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Creal: you did good. We had over an acre of Petite Syrah in Murphys CA and this is exactly how we set up the vineyard for success. We used the golden tubes for the grapes for the first two years, and then took them off. Train train train and trim trim trim.

    Oh, don't worry. He met her off premises. Then 1 full day later, they are friends. I found a smaller wire crate on FB marketplace and it was minutes from here. Got that and will line with some towels for her second nite at her new home. She was free fed kibbles n bits at the last place. Not...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    We wanted another cattle dog from the same back yard breeder, but I had missed the earlier than usual pregnancy from March (they advertise their once a year litters on CL). Oh well. Kept checking all outlets; went to visit a year old ACD nearby, but it was bizarre and would not stop barking...

    I'm decluttering in a huge way too. We have a garage sale on Fri and Sat. About 80% of the stuff is mine. Sadly I fought hubs for the tiny bits of his stuff he contributed.

    New member Okie

    I'm sorry you lost your dream, temporarily!! No stove or oven? I'm thinking you might be happier living in a fifth wheel, somewhere on someone's property as a caretaker or watch. Welcome from Southern WA, where after two years I'm sick of the rainy winters, but need to stay put. And like...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Graduation was yesterday. I'm so glad Miss S was able to get two more tickets, for us. It only took 1.3 hours to march all the high schoolers thru - 500 of them someone said. Well organized. My rear end hurts from sitting on metal bleachers from 1:30 - 3:30. It was 52% humidity and I'll bet the...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Sometimes I think good thoughts and say that they are workers at a hospital on shift work. Other times I think bad thoughts and say that clearly they are on a bender of some sort and therefore haven't gone to bed yet... Yes, text them back. Don't get your hopes up.

    Food prices June 2021

    What a difference in the ground beef pricing! I do have a Chef's store here. But not the Costco biz. I'm out of lunch meat, so I need to go to the US Foods chef store to get a "helmet" turkey to slice up and vac pack.

    They were always called meat and cheese trays. Now they are charcuterie trays.

    What if DH/DW Couldn't?

    You are exactly right. I did do everything and I had a housekeeper for a few years that came twice a month. No wonder neither of my kids will clean a toilet. Thank you, Mini - you are a great example. And Tortoise - well, you know the difficulties and I'm not even chronically ill!
