Looks like I've missed quite a bit. I'll have to go back to the other thread and try to catch up. That will teach me not to go MIA for such extended periods of time! The garden is growing well. The...
GreenBeans...that's such great news about your Dad!...
My sugar snap peas have sprouted! So have the black seeded Simpson lettuces! Still waiting for the cucumbers to show and waiting for the Sun Gold cherry tomatoes to show up in the garden centers. The...
TMO, welcome to the forum. Hope your doctor can give you an answer for your troubles. Check out the benefits of asparagus for the urinary tract. Please keep us updated! Rain, rain, go away! I...
Buena, I potted my asiatic lily bulbs in March and put them outside. I figured since the rest of them are in the ground out there, why not?? They're sprouting nicely, right in time with the others...
Trina, it looks like Sweet William to me from the pic....
Hi all...The car saga continues...she bought a 2013 Dodge Avenger with the money she owed me and help from another friend. No idea how or when I'll get paid back. I told her that, if she was going to...
Well...the car that I helped my daughter get blew the head gasket today. Back to the drawing board. She'd come up this way to see the dentist...she needs a root canal done. She couldn't drive the car...
Hi. I have 2 herniated discs in the lumbar/sacral spine location...no spasms though. I, too, need a different mattress so I'll be checking the replies to your post. I'm 4ft 11in tall and most...
Hi all...sorry I went MIA for a few days. Picked up 4 planks of exterior trim and deck screws and constructed four 2ft x 2ft x 10in planting boxes...placed them...filled with garden soil...mulched...
Hello all. Got a good dose of natural vitamin D today, outside in the sunshine and fresh air. Filled 2 large dog food bags with yard debris, cleaning up for the nice weather to come. Of course, that...
Just realized I mis-spoke...plant the tulip bulbs within a ring of daffodils! Not the other way around! oops!...
Hello all. Sorry I didn't see the birthday announcement...hope it was a happy, special day! I've lost track of the plants that didn't come back. Once in a while, the deer will cross the street and...
Chotti, any bamboo is forbidden in my town now. Besides, I have a small mobile home lot and it's already full! I'm slowly converting the plantings into more low maintenance plant choices...putting in...
I'm pushing myself to do things in and for the house lately. Yesterday, I took the bulbs out of the kitchen light fixture (6 of them), took the globes off (3 screws per globe), washed them, cleaned...
Hi all. Stuck in between two seasons. I've been getting a bit more garden cleanup done. Worked on the ornamental grasses yesterday...hate wearing gloves...so my hands suffer a little. Rain expected...
Hello all. I'm just a little excited because I finally found 2 chairs to use at the dinette table that I really like. They're upholstered with nice cushioning. I found them at the Habitat for...
Rich? How'd it work out? I hope you're feeling all right. I understand it can lead to a very sore arm....
Hi Rich, I'm also in a 12 step program. Seems to me that we spent so much time and effort quashing our feelings that, now that we've stopped doing that, they gang up and overwhelm us at times....
Hello all. My daughter has not given me details but, still no heat in the car. Did a little more clean up out in the garden, till my hands got too cold again. Cut the New England False Grape off the...
Trina, I had actually told Lisa I could shop on my own on Sunday, so we could just stay home and 'veg'. She got upset! Said she needs to do 'normal' things...which includes our weekly shopping...
I had to have acromioplasty on both shoulders, following injuries and diagnosis of impingement syndrome. They tried arthroscopic first, but eventually had to go back in on each and do the open...
Hello all. Well, we got the car, daughter and friend put in the power steering pump. Discovered it has no heat! She drove it home anyway. Took it to the shop yesterday and they said it would be under...
Buena, owie!! Hope you're feeling better quickly! I got knocked down by my daughter's dog (he's mine now) at the dog park and ended up with a grade 5 separation of the shoulder! Good thing we were...
Trina, I really like that idea of making just 'part' of a day out. When I go with my daughter to her appointments an hour away (longer for her now that she's moved), we usually stop at the diner on...
Joyce...she is so missed! We got another 8.5 inches of snow dumped on us when they were forecasting 4-6. Reminds me of the old joke...What do a snowstorm and a new boyfriend have in common? Don't...
Hi Goldengirl, While I don't have anything 'complicated' I have been very frustrated lately. I changed insurance so I could get dentures...but also had to leave the doctor I'd been seeing for years...
Just came in from playing with the dogs. Had to climb into one of the flower beds that collected several over the summer and got to see that the crocus foliage is coming up! I just love looking for...
First, I had a 'nextdoor' account but there were password problems, so I don't use it anymore. I know tow companies, just don't know if they'll tow it before it's registered to me. Second, Lisa and I...
Hello all. Had a coating of ice yesterday/last night...dogs have a skating rink instead of a run today. Daughter has my truck for a little while...motor vehicle offices are 'by appointment only' and...
Do you have any family member or friends that could look for you? Maybe go to a library and create a new profile and search? Take some screen shots to use in court? A cease and desist order may be...
We've already discussed payback for the car. She'll be getting her taxes back pretty quickly and I can wait. She hasn't been working much after falling down the stairs at work, having to go to...
Direct and to the point...good job! Hope help comes soon for you!...
We got another 4.5 inches of snow. This round was wetter and heavier so I went out several times to shovel it. So much pain!!! Just another reminder that I can never return to working. Need to get my...
Welcome! Yes, I too find this forum to be very helpful...even if it's just contact every few days....
Welcome. I think you should listen to your doctor and see how it goes. Sometimes, I think larger tapers are successful at the start and when one is at a lower dose it gets a little trickier and the...
Hi all...sorry I went MIA. Had to do alot of shoveling, so pain is up. Had to do alot of emailing, too. Plowing was horrible here. 'Mom' completed her first week of chemo with few side effects, so it...
I got word last night that my ex-husband's widow (my kids step mother) passed away. We'd known each other since Kindergarten...grew up together...which in some ways made it easier for me to deal with...
Hey all. Sad day. My cat, Ominoday, gently crossed the rainbow bridge this evening....
Hi all. Love the 'pet talk'. Don't know where I'd be without my fur babies! MIL is doing pretty well...some issues from the strong antibiotics but I suggested she eat yogurt and it seems to be...
Praying you get the result you need from the hearing. Hoping it's not RA but something more easily treated....
Worked on clearing my desk today. Took some paperwork over to the bank to get notarized, then came home and put it in the mail, along with my driver's license renewal. Cleared off the shelves in the...
Her spirits are good...she's going to fight! She was having trouble getting out of her chair in the den. I suggested adding foam under the seat. Lisa had some eggcrate in the garage. Three layers of...
Just got the call. Confirmed stage IV colon cancer, metasticized to liver and lungs. MIL will follow up with oncologist about chemotherapy. If you pray...please include her and her daughters....
'Mom' has not had follow up appointment yet for the results of the biopsy and treatment plan. We're all on pins and needles. She is home and spirits are good. My son is being tested for covid...most...
Worked on my office/dressing room today. Put up some shelves and hung a couple of small mirrors to hopefully bounce more light around the room. The only window is awkwardly placed due to a previous...
My regrowing red twig dogwood is starting to fade...a bit early...but I'll take an early Spring! The lilac has redish tips, too! Nature does not lie. My jonquils (mini daffs) have sprouted new...
"Mom" is responding to the antibiotic treatment but they couldn't get the liver biopsy done yesterday...too much fluid in the abdomen after a student attempt to draw it out...will try again today and...
So, they tested the fluid drawn out of parter's Mom's belly...she had a raging infection! E.R. for I.V. meds, admitted Friday, may come home Monday or Tuesday. Still has to have biopsy for possible...
Biggie, hang in there! I'm rooting and praying for you! A few weeks ago, I jarred my right shoulder...the one literally hanging on by a thread...and it messed me up for weeks. Then, the left shoulder...
