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.
It's good to be reminded that we need to do the things we want to do and not put them off. Nobody knows how much time they have left.
Starting to do a bit of downsizing here. Mostly selecting things that I am not using here to be trashed or donated - like extra bedding, a few bits of furniture, clothing..Time to clean out the fridge and freezers too. If it hasn't been used since i came here, I think it needs to go! 😊
That was supposed to go under general topics. Opps
It was fine . By the 4th parent , we have it down to a science . Got rid of her clothes etc. DH only wanted photos and any important papers . Partner is still living in the house , so we didn’t have to deal with any household items , nor did DH want any of it . The other family will have to do the bulk of that cleaning out unless partner ( with advanced Alzheimer’s ) burns down the place . Have no idea how long they plan on leaving partner alone . Partner inherited MIL’s half of the house , so not our problem .
My guess is the daughter will have the house put in her name or in a trust and make sure they wait the 30 month lookback before applying for NY Medicaid . At some point the daughter will most likely have partner live at her house ( until they reach the 30 months ).
That daughter is all about preserving the house as an inheritance for her to sell later .
My husband hates the paper straws in restaurants .
We need to pay for paper bags Hothouse so I wouldn't welcome doubling up!
Some things I do absolutely agree with, I think we use to much plastic, but other things like paper plates . Yeah no felling guilt about that one!
However , this week my son and DIL are away and I’ve been going over to feed her cats . Nearly everyday a box arrives from online shopping . Last I checked boxes were basically made of paper . The jet fuel burned to get her to her vacation destination is not good for the environment either . 🙄🤔🤷♀️
How did life get so busy, I got like 5 parties in June, nope just remembered another one, so that's six. One is actually my sons dogs bday party, 🥳, bridal shower. A wedding, an anniversary, and 2 bday parties.
Are boccie league starts soon!
Doing some gardening, tomato plants.
People keep stopping in mostly hubs friends , so I don't have to do much of the entertaining
Ireland wasn't my plan, lol or leaving US, but my sons getting married in Killarney, ✈️ off we go. Trying to really research and do my homework on this, to relieve stress.
Planning on an Alaskan cruise next summer.
I had planned to go on an Ireland/Scotland cruise last month but the ship had to go into dry dock and Princess altered the cruise itinerary and we cancelled. I was so disappointed. But I plan to get there eventually,
And Happy mother's Day to all women, with children or not, because we all become mothers to someone, in some way shape or form. Not to forget the furry children in are lives
I didn't see my kids, but I did hear from them. My oldest called me, busy with his sweet family, one is in Texas , one went away to see his fiance gma, one got late, and couldn't get away, because he was on a boat, I left moms then he finally showed but he called and actually spent a few hours with mom, so that made me happy.
So why not maybe kids that want there parts to quit driving find away to put them on this type of insurance then they can keep track of there driving.
Not a perfect plan but it has possiblity for some parents.
Sendshelp I here ya!!!
I practice restraint by not watching at all.
My friends will let me know what is happening, and I appreciate that.
Then, there is email. A correspondent said she should send me a photo of what happened the day before. I wrote to say, yes, send that photo.
She writes back, to remind her of what photo?
No reply necessary.
Trying to get a hold of what's left of my mind. If I say something here at home, the reply is: "No it's not". Or a correction that I have said the wrong word, not the right word for what dH uses. It is frustrating, end of my rope sort of thing.
