Rosa, I thought I was the only one who had found a dead mouse in their house. I so relate to the horror that follows. I found one in an iceskate...

A good point, happystuff. My son and his family just had it and only told the school to work out when the girls could safely return. They were all...

I could eat breakfast every night. It is the best meal of the day.

I keep hearing Ethel Merman in Gypsy singing, "I have a dream, a wonderful dream- all about roofs and electric circuits"

He has to reject intersectionality because otherwise, people would see how his own identity as strong white male politician has been impacted by his...

I bought a pound of Cabot butter at Walmart for $5.27. Man.

What a guy!

I imagine change is coming there, unfortunately. I went to high school for two years in Middletown and we rented in Seabright at first. We used to...

That's great. It sounds like she made the right decision for her quality of life.

I guess my fear is that the knowledge never transfers, and you just start all over again.

Yes, that's true, and why I would rather not get a knee replacement. Fear of a bad result.

Wow, just went to research thin famous people who needed joints replaced and found this about Katherine Hepburn: "In 1974, at age 67 Katharine...

Thank you, Sweetana, that is amazing. I think she is a really strong person and was always in amazing shape.

Wow, Terry, that is a good argument for biting the bullet. 90 years old!!

Well, at first I thought, oh, arthoscopic surgery but then saw something about them not wanting to do it on people over 60 with arthritis, they just...

Update: got MRI results and among the things found wrong were extruding meniscus, complete ligament tear, fraying ACL, sprained MPFL, Baker's cyst,...

I checked and in Maine it is 80.

A third person, the assistant director David Halls took a plea deal, "Halls agreed to plead guilty to one charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon,...

I was surprised that they brought criminal charges after all this time, but I guess that means there was an in-depth investigation.

Bae, time to buy this and start our Simplelivingforum compound.

My husband says he is going back to masking in public. I can't take it so I'll just stay away from people again. I have to mask at doctor's...

Thank you, the knee warmers and mattress pad sound really good, especially the idea of a heated mattress pad. My mom used to sleep with an electric...

Thanks, Catherine, I actually would move to Florida tomorrow, haha. You raise a really interesting point, as this came up when the weather got cold...

I'm glad your mom was able to have the surgery in her 80's! My cousin had one done in her late 70's and she said it went badly, and then she had...

Thank you guys, these suggestions are gold! Frugal, Off to get the Morency cherries--used to take those in Traverse City because it was the cherry...

Yes, exercise, and thanks Tradd for the suggestion of the under desk cycle. I'm trying to figure out exercise when everything hurts so much but I'm...

She did not but I will definitely try that one. Thank you!

I am glad you are always diving safely, Tradd.

We managed to get the first episode of All Creatures last night. Not sure why but I am not complaining, that's for sure. Is the Helen in this...

WOW!!!!

When we moved here to Maine we bought really cheap foam mattresses in a box at Walmart. Like really cheap. I thought they felt weird but husband...

It is comforting to know more of what happened, I imagine. There is not a whole lot you can do about an unexpected medical event. I am so sorry...

Tradd, that's awful. How did it happen?

Hoping you feel better very soon, happy!

I could not get by with just a quick broom. I have two Orecks because if I see them at a yard sale or Goodwill I buy them until they break. Have...

Winters here in central Maine in the White Mountains are definitely milder than in Traverse City in Michigan. There is not so much snow, the temps...

They may make them tough, but it seems like many Mainers die each year when they are getting their boats in the water and they fall in and succumb to...

Our insurance in SC doubled when FEMA redrew the flood maps for the island. It is very difficult to get insurance there unless your house is built...

It's probably winterized, so the pipes won't burst. Any vacant house would be here as it would not be heated, usually.

Hope you are back to a hundred percent soon, Toomuchstuff!

That is interesting about the death certificate of your friend's father. My dad's was odd also--he died seven days after getting the Covid shot. I...

I found this interesting from the Mayo Clinic, about the different types of Covid vaccines: ...

What a great idea!

Charley Grey from Point of No Return.

Kittens, children, and grandchildren sound great to me! Glad you are back, Catherine! IL, what a sweet little cat you've gotten!

This is a really good one: ...
