We were gone a big part of the day

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (161103) • United States 8h

Trying to get back to "normal" to go back to work on Friday, I got up at 5 and did a few things. Bob also woke up early because he was afraid he would miss his appointments. I fell asleep in my armchair, under my heated...

Juliaacv I hope that you can get Bob's eye procedure scheduled fairly soon. In January we have to choose our health benefits package from our employer, and every year things seem to shift to changes I feel are related to our age. Next month I will have to look into the...

Juliaacv I can understand how intricate and how much work goes into applying those, but I do not care for them. I just think that they look dirty, nobody likes dirty looking hands.

Busy Day

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (108700) • Marion, Ohio 9h

But it means I don't need to do very much at all tomorrow except the critters and making dinner. I washed 2 loads of laundry. All doggy blankets. All of the dishes are washed. The kitchen floor is as clean as it can be with...

Juliaacv Wow JJ, that is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. It is the way that I feel on some days, days that I have the time to stop and actually think. But personally, I feel like my final verse will be lived in an easier dimension with loved ones surrounding me...

So many traditions and superstitions for the New Year.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (39031) 15h

Whenever the year is over and a new one begins, we usually hear about, or celebrate, with traditions. Many people think eating black-eyed peas and cornbread will bring them good fortune. Here in the Midwest, it is generally some...

Juliaacv I cannot say that I know of these traditions, they are interesting though. We like to end the year on a good note and spend time together having a nice meal out, and we always spend New Years day together, and we enjoy a delicious meal at home together. Happy...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (182653) • United States 20h

Called the social worker to find out about the physical therapy cost, my husband said he hasn't been showered since he was transferred (you can take what he says with a grain of salt) and if he could be seen by the staff doctor...

I watched Saw X. It is the latest Saw movies. It has Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, Renata Vaca, Joshua Okamoto, Octavio Hinojosa, Paulette Hernandez, and Michael Beach in it. Big Warning: there...

I watched The Substance. It has Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid, Edward Hamilton-Clark, Gore Abrams, Oscar Lesage, Christian Erickson, and Robin Greer in it. Big Warning: there is some violence and lots of gore. It was...

Juliaacv Happy New Year to you. We are going out for supper tonight together. We are discussing and planning a trip for next year at Christmas with our son and his family. This just came up in the past few days and we are very excited to think and plan for it.

Christmas Gift, should you say something if it wasn't"t what you asked for?

snowy @snowy22315 (182695) • United States 17h

So, I got my missing Christmas gift, it isn't what I asked for. Why ask somebody, what they want for. Christmas just to deliver something else? I don't get it. You are e spending the money anyway, why not get something the other...

Juliaacv If it were me, I wouldn't say anything. I got a new pair of crocks that are the wrong size and I will donate them and replace them without bothering my daughter-in-law. I don't want her to feel bad.

Friday is coming

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (161103) • United States 30 Dec

I just realized today that my break is almost over. We go back for one day of school on Friday, I guess to ease us in. I did not really get a lot done for break, but having both Bob and I get sick probably was enough. I am...

Juliaacv It is good to hear that you are on the mend again. I did not get any downtime over the holidays, only the 25th, 26th and tomorrow will be paid days off for me. It has been busy, and I don't see an end to that for January. Happy New Year, enjoy your last few...

Friend is crazy

snowy @snowy22315 (182695) • United States 30 Dec

So, his refrigerator broke and needed to be replaced. He bought one on Amazon, but didn't even buy the affordable insurance plan. I told him he should really reconsider that. They will deliver, but by ordering it there he didn't...

Juliaacv That was a very well thought out purchase. If he can find a scraper who is desperate for scrap, maybe they would come and do the haul away, but that is highly unlikely. And he will not recoup the cost for the plumber.

Funeral Conundrum

Amber @AmbiePam (94382) • United States 30 Dec

My dad has to make a big decision, and it’s not one I would want to have to make. Two funerals are being held on the same day, and he has to decide which one to attend. Both families asked him to speak. The first (Edwin) is the...

Juliaacv I am sorry for the losses. I would suggest that he attend the visitation, and either provide words he would have spoken or maybe print it off and pass it to his next of kin to be read later when the family gathers. If the family and funeral director approve,...

Juliaacv It sounds like you had a nice visit, he must prefer personal visits over phone visits. And of course you always bring him something yummy, and he likes that.
