Someone will have to Splaine this to me.

Welcome! Look forward to getting to know you.

Glad to see you here. Don’t be shy in introducing new topics. Many of us have been around in this group for so long that we’ve talked for years...

:welcome: Your life does sound busy. It is interesting to read the different approaches that members have taken to simplifying their lives and...

woohoo, Catherine! We saved a boatload last year on insurance, just from re-vamping our coverage with the carrier we already had. Insurance seems...

That is for you. What about the people you come in contact with ... waitstaff, etc? Today is 10 days after the second shot. DS and GD are coming...

I just got the first at the local supermarket pharmacy. I noticed on their web page portal to make an appointment they now have a dropdown where you...

DH is getting his first today.. mine will be March 10. The appointments opened up for 65+ yesterday at 8:15 and at 8:45 my son was calling me asking...

No, I've never heard of Insight Timer! The breathing exercise sounds really cool! He describes the technique in the book.

Welcome, mmom! Thanks for joining! Looking forward to hearing from you!

So happy for you mschrisgo2! my parents are coming to visit to meet mine in April (once my vaccine is also fully effective since I teach.) I am...

I've been thinking more about this. I know people who do spend large portions of their weekends away from home weekends even during the winter, but...

I snuck into (it's open to the public) the apt for rent in this building and bf said it's smaller than mine, especially the bedroom. So maybe mine's...

Got my first vaccine today. Looking forward to seeing my grandsons again soon.

Liberty Mutual. I already have homeowners with them, and I have 2 cars, one 2004 and the other 2007, and I live in a rural area in Vermont. So that...

Jp, our rate is low. I was so happy to get the vaccine! I am taking a train with a friend to the Bay Area the end of April to visit a friend. We are...

Appreciate the update, Chicken lady. Maybe one of the silver linings of this pandemic has been the ability to step back a little and view our old...

That seems like a fairly reasonable compromise if the current infection rate in your area is low enough. It reminds me of the one time I’ve had a...

Who did you switch to?

SAVED $1500? Holy smokes. Our total bill for 2 newer vehicles is $1800/year.

Nope. I'm no longer of young stock to crawl up from the foot of the bed. I don't want to have to sit in the bed for hubster and I to have some...

I love musicals more in line with Catherine. I have heard of the song.

Lol! - I have never once promised to do something with someone when this is over. But then, precovid I would often say simply “I’m sorry, I can’t.”...

Nswef, I am enjoying it. I bought sheets, microwave, electric can opener, toaster, shower curtain and kitchen mat.

Most of the secure buildings have laundry rooms versus in the units. In my previous condo I bought a apartment dryer that vents into a bucket of...

Sending hugs!

10 days after the first shot you have 52% immunity which was good enough for me. I haven’t went anywhere crowded. We go to lunch at 11 to avoid...

haha! I totally get it, 100%!

A slight digression, but seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with vaccinations etc. makes me realize how Covid has been such a great excuse,...

Yes, that is my understanding as well. I had heard two weeks after the second shot.

Well it's nice that her cooking is compatible with your diet. I know that doesn't often happen if one is vegetarian or vegan.

Is that from YOUR pipes?

I've been on discussion boards with journal functions and they never interested me. In my mind, you decide "do I want to share things with people to...

Uggh. So sorry to hear this. I don’t have any advice beyond what others have said. Hopefully taking a longer break to heal will help.

So sorry, SiouzQ. I truly hope that with a little rest and healing you'll be able to adapt to what you can do with your jewelry-making and your music.

GP, there aren't that many musical aficionados here on this forum. I get the facepalm. I LOVE musicals, and I particularly LOVE inspirational...

Got the bed put up yesterday. Used a full foam mattress which hangs over the rail a little on one side but not really noticeable under the quilt and...

Rusty water as seen in my bathtub. This is why when some here say slap a filter on your faucet and drink the stuff instead of buying gallons of water...

I don't think a facepalm is always self directed, I think it's also commonly used to express disbelief at someone else. If yours was directed at...

So unfair when your hands help you do what you love...I tend to think the idea of a temporary reprieve (six months or so) rather than an absolute is...

I’m laughing here because I wasn’t harmed by viewing a little bit of Let It Go. I mean, my Disney allergy isn’t anything that causes me pain. I...

Thank you. I like it being suspended from the ceiling on barn-door hardware so it moves back and forth easily.

Facepalm is always a self-directed gesture and means covering one's face with the hand as an expression of embarrassment, dismay, or exasperation. ...

Thank you for posting this Tradd, great site! I could totally live in this one: ...

That was my question as well. Sorry to hear this latest.

That is so great when it all works out so well.!!!

Well, I am so delighted with my March frugal. With one short phone call, I saved $1500/year by switching my car insurance. It took me forever to...

I second IL's question. If not for the fact that my wife works with small children I suspect I'd never have heard of the song or movie. I'm befuddled...

Can you sing without any musical accompaniment?

I am so sorry and I can really imagine how painful this situation is. Since you feel you reinjured wrist by helping someone lift something, maybe...

Stapling it together did not work with the pillow so out it went.

My whole family is vegetarian, so no, not special for me.

Yeah, I'm gonna drive 5 hours over to Walla Walla to be turned away.

I'll add to the chorus that says put things aside for now and wait. You might cast about for artistic activities that don't require wrist...

I'll let someone else respond to that question. All I can say is {FACEPALM!}

If you do, two of my favorite versions are the Africanized version https://youtu.be/DAJYk1jOhzk which is very good,and the Cimorelli version...

So sorry to hear. I agree that you need to pack everything away and just concentrate on healing.

I'm so sorry. I fear you started "normal" activity too early. You are barely 7 weeks post-op. The older we are, the longer it takes us to heal. I...

Got it. yes, it is good to have friends. I have a few good friends that understand that I am an introvert. We see each other infrequently but...
