    well, I guess this latest fashion will show who can go braless. Not all of them can
    I am not a serious person.

    Hmm, remember the pencil test? Back in the 60s when that was used as the guideline for going braless, I didn't even get the point of that test. A lot of my pencils hit the floor back then, that's all I'm sayin'

    ROFLOL! And I was pretty well-formed even as a young teen - the pencil never fell!

    No bra-less for me. I was very active and it just hurt too much to go without one.

    I have always failed the pencil test, but as I get older, I'm appreciative of how kind gravity has been to me.

    Not only has January seemed extraordinarily long, it feels like I have been bleeding money profusely because so many of my own bills have come due. It's all ever so apparent when one has no money coming in. However, my husband keeps trying to retrain my frugal ex-single parent brain to accept that his money is our money and that he makes a very good living. I'm finding it hard to be dependent on someone (to some extent), but very grateful none the less.

    The main goal is to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for my neck/shoulder/arm. At 62 I am far too young to be this debilitated by this ongoing issue. I have a whole slew of more tests and doctor appointments coming up in February. Meanwhile, I am somewhat a person of leisure after taking care of what I can in the house and doing the shopping. I have to keep repeating the mantra that everything is going to be okay.

    Good luck navigating all that you are going through, SiouzQ. I will echo your mantra for you.

    I have had to call the police twice this week due to a man leaving a high end bike in our backyard. We have Ring cameras all over and could see who did it.

    #1 He dropped it over our gate into a fully privacy fenced yard. We put in garage for safety. Husband was gone when he came and pounded on our door then went into the backyard and pounded on our back door. I called 911 and when the police came they got his ID, determined it was his bike?, and returned the bike to him.

    #2 A few days later the same bike was back in our backyard. Called police and they took it away to the property room. Gave us two notices for our front door and back gate on where the bike was now. He came back later and retrieved the note.

    Who in their right mind leaves a bike in a stranger's backyard for "storage"? TWICE. We live in an urban area and have a lot of stolen bikes all over. In fact, the police have told us that unless it is in the house with us, a bike is not safe. Police were fast, calming, patient and kind. We now even have a padlock on our back gate.

    Did nothing good for my blood pressure.
