In my 70’s I would like my live in boyfriend (fat chance that would ever happen) to live in——-next door to me..
yes, an apartment or duplex unit would fit the bill. Neat, tidy boundaries formed by actual walls.

Is there not a way to have that happen??

I understand about the neatness factor when two people greatly diverge...I close my eye's when I enter my spouse's office...but the chaos pretty much stays there so it's his domain to have as he sees fit (but it does give me fits..lol).

I am really tired of scheduling, re scheduling, and re re scheduling meetings around our intermittent snows.

Reaaaaallllly tired of it!

Next year I will tell my groups there will be no meetings in January and February to pre empt that problem.

Just schedule them in Hawaii or somewhere nice and warm.

IL, I am always wary in the winter of scheduling anything "permanant and no n refundable.

I am mourning the loss of JoAnn’s Fabric stores across the country. The first report was at certain stores would close and then included the store nearest me, but the store I use in the city of St. Louis would remain open. Then today someone else said no all the stores are closing.

I am truly bummed and even shocked because I don’t know where I’m going to get fabric. Granted, I do sometimes buy fabric online, but that’s not the same as going into a store and seeing large swaths of it displayed.

I am bummed and heartbroken. My tiny town has two fabric stores, but they are for quilters, you know quilting fabric. It’s all that tightly woven small print cotton fabric. That fabric is very nice, but I need more variety.

I agree!! We have a JoAnn's in Burlington, and I shop there fairly regularly. It is really a vestige of the past, though, when people actually made stuff. I went to JoAnn's a lot when I was making my DD's wedding dress, but I frequently found a reason to go for other things.

I also don't know what will replace them. Fabric, by definition, is tactile. It's really difficult to purchase fabric online. I don't even know where people buy fabric, if it's not JoAnn's.

I'll mourn with you, IL.

hobby lobby, and Michael’s craft stores have a small fabric section, but it is small.

I never minded the rows and rows of cotton quilting fabrics at JoAnn’s because I figured the quilters were keeping the place goingeven though I walked right past those bolts to look for things I needed. and the ribbon section!

The tariff whiplash continues. Unknown if the 25% on Canada/Mexico is will go into effect at the beginning of the month.
