Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
hothouse - happy for you that that burden has been lifted. Time to relax a bit now?
way - thinking of you and your dh and your trip. Let us know how it goes.
Had fun with that shopping trip. First time I enjoyed it (despite the fitting room lighting which should be banned in all 50 states).
My condolences on loss of your Uncle, my woman.
Good for you and your fortune cookie is right.
If I get fortune cookie it will tell me; stop buying clothes woman.
Yes, I admit I am shopaholic. But I can quit cold turkey.
Really it is more about loving beautiful things as I see them.
The problem is we moved to condo and of course there is less space.
Nacy, so sorry about your uncle.
It means you have a stronger immune system or were not exposed in the same way at the same time to the same virus.
None of this is really on you.
Yes I survived . Rain was horrible , saw ALOT of accidents off to the side of the roads , police , tow trucks etc .
HUGE waste of time .
The clothes all look beautiful.
Don't mean to fight the casual trend, but I feel fall traditionally brings on dressier clothing.
If I don't like them at only 35 dollars, I can wear them as a house dress.
I hope you feel beautiful in your new dresses.
I hope they arrive!
Soon.
Wait.
Online reviews indicate delivery may be an issue/delayed or wrong product.
Coming from Hong Kong with no delivery date given. They did not tell me that.
Their products might not be their own.
Such a large selection.
Do the clothes look too beautiful to be true?
Ols cancel my recommendation.
I would feel so very bad to have misled anyone.
Waiting on delivery.
It is possible I had made this same mistake over 5 years ago.
The names have changed, but the m.o is the same.
A beautiful product arrives, made weirdly, in a way that leaves no room for normal body parts.
I now recall that you must pay for returns.
Not worth it.
I just did not learn my lesson.
I will write again if it all comes out good.
I should have read the reviews.
Yes, the clothes are lovely and I noticed one of the models looked like she had to stand funny to not have the sleeve stretched. Truly is a buyer beware, when I tried to read their return policy it would not come up, makes sense now.
I just placed an Amazon order that can be expected before Oct 16, so something is up with deliveries apparently. Good thing it isn't anything I need right away.
Thanks for the update.
I did that as well and felt stupid.
Ordered from one of those online store because they had those greek tunic dresses which I really loved in my fav store.
Well, it arrived, cheap clingy polyester, size small in asian sizes is like size 0. $40.00 gone.
Good thing hubby gave me Gift certificate to my fav store and I purchased two authentic greek tunics, which are beautiful and will last at least 5 years.
Great cotton, beautiful design.
And they were on sale!
For good measure I ordered another one from original store in Greece, which had sale and I got another discount.
I can wear them all summer, take on every trip and wear with snickers and hat for tour or at night with nice sandals and some delicate jewelry.
Diversity, durability and quality!
The dresses may never arrive.
A friend told me something about a port strike?
For this new month, starting today, we are on a strict budget.
Considering cancelling a lot of automated payments.
Can I be strong enough to cancel instacart too? We will see.
Adding to this for no reason at all! Jimmy Carter is 100.
Nacy, yes Jimmy Carter wants to be alive at least to vote which begins mid October. It is going to be interesting Nov, I think entire world will be watching
Sadly, his grandson gave update on his health and he is sleeping most of the time.
Jimmy Carter some years ago talked about longevity and what contributed in his view to this, one was finding purpose in life.
I am thinking about that often as it seems to me caregiving cannot be it for me, what if something changes drastically?
(i’ve told them directly, too).

It’s a big truck, the biggest ‘rigid’ (ie not a semi-trailer), with 10 wheels, plus a car trailer with four more wheels. One thing that might be useful for more (normal? sensible?) posters might be the sticker I read every time I climb up the 4 step ladder into the truck cabin. The little picture shows ‘3 points anchorage’ - two hands on the side hand rails and one foot on a step, while the other foot takes the next step up. I am now very used to ‘3 points holding on’ for stability, and it’s not a bad habit to keep living with. A much better habit than the trip. I glad that’s the last load. I reckon at 77 I’m too old for this.
It’s good to find that the Age Care people are still in the same place!
Love, Margaret
Hard work moving but I think we are capable of more than we are giving ourselves credit for.
I am not super strong but moved in summer and between liquidating, decluttering, selling, giving away furniture, household items, looking for new furniture, ordering, legal and other concerns I worked 10-16 hours days. Actually it felt great, physically as well. Now even after 3 months there are things to do, I am in need to do more.
Having sick and getting worse husband seems to create a need for me to be constantly on the move. I need projects, ideas, purpose.
I am glad it is behind you.
