Christmas gifts...too many?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41752) • United States 14 Dec

So, what are your feelings about gifts at Christmas? When our kids were little, I know they got way too many toys for Christmas, mostly from "Santa." Our tradition has always been to sit in the living room and take turns opening...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (181717) • United States 14 Dec

Well, yesterday I put on my big girl panties, cried a little and made the gut wrenching decision to have my husband transferred to long-term care. He will have no physical therapy and will just lie there until the day he dies. I...

12/13/24 - Update On My Husband

LindaOH @LindaOHio (181717) • United States 13 Dec

Before any home health aides can be scheduled, my husband must go to his primary care provider and be examined. That would mean somehow managing to get him down 3 steps, into the car, out of the car, into a wheelchair, etc. I...

Dena Miller Does your town offer transit services? Our town has free vans that pick people up from their home and take them to the doctors, stores, wherever they need to go. Some vans are equipped to pick up people who need a wheelchair to get around. Can your husband...

Good morning 12/12

snowy @snowy22315 (182204) • United States 13 Dec

Cold and brisk this morning. At least there is no wind today. I am glad I don't have to go anywhere though. I think I will do my steps on my treadmill today, although that is so boring I really don't like it. I listen to podcasts...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160978) • United States 13 Dec

I got some good deals at the thrift shop, but what is really surprising, or maybe not, is the number of school employees/teachers who were also there. I think we thrift for two reasons: 1. Our pay check needs to stretch. 2. We...

So nice to have leftovers

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160978) • United States 13 Dec

Hubby had made himself a "tamale casserole" one day last week, and ate all he wanted at the time. Honestly enough almost to make him sick. I had chili that I got out of the freezer. We ate some, then the rest sat waiting. So...

Dena Miller Sounds like a busy but productive day you had. I buy the dozen and a half eggs as they are cheaper than the dozen eggs. Mike usually cooks a dozen in the air fryer---making hard boiled eggs for us to eat on through the week.
