Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
When my mom passed I spent hours poring through stuff. Love letters my Dad had written her. He was quite a romantic fellow, my Father. I wish I had been able to know him. I was four when he died. But I found some of his service medals, things like that. My mom's report cards from when she was just a girl. She was a smart cookie. Straight A's. I think my mom always regretted not having a big career but with seven kids she had to raise on her own she didn't have many options. I feel sad for her because of that. I think she could have been so many things but she was an awesome mom and I guess that is what God had intended for her.
Gee, makes me wonder who will pore through my stuff when I die and what will they think. Probably, man she was a boring person. LOL
How difficult is it to undo knitting? I know with crochet it is super easy to rip out and repair. Take a break. If you decide to go back to your project will be be refreshed and can focus more easily.
My mom did the German style knitting which was a quicker method. Her mother’s side of the family is German.
My mother was brilliant when it came to any needlework. Her mom was the same way. My aunt too. All of the women in my family were excellent seamstresses and any type of other needlework. Many in my family sold items to fancy, upscale boutiques.
As good as my mom was, she wasn’t a good teacher with me. She is a perfectionist and had no patience with me. Anything that I learned with any needlework or craft/hobby I had to learn on my own or with lessons other than from my mom.
Mom did follow patterns that she liked but created many beautiful designs of her own.
I went to dig out some patterns but I came across boxes of pictures I had forgotten about and down the rabbit hole I went. These are mostly my grandmother's pics and she was pretty good at labelling a lot of them - Aw, my grandparent's wedding picture and marriage certificate. Hm, my mom was a big fat baby for a 6 months birth 🤔. Oh, there's a postcard from Uncle A "on active service" in France, 1917 - it says he wouldn't be in England for anything🤨
So much for knitting today - maybe I should buy a gift instead?
or inhaling on the strip - recreational state
How sweet. Lucky great niece to receive gifts so special!
Makes it tough to know what to wear. Especially at work when last Friday I walked in the thermostat stated 99 degrees due to a faulty control. Even the M&M's were starting to melt. But it did bring back memories of walking into my parents house :P
Missed it. I wanted to see Elton John’s movie. Missed that too.
There was a sensor as we enter our office suite that would light up the suite's hallway. I timed it, it would go off in 15 minutes if there was no movement in the hallway. So I would go out into the hallway and wave my arms like I am bringing an airplane to it's gate. It got so annoying that I had building management put in an old fashioned light switch. Whew, what a relief.
Wish management would replace the other sensor lights. We know how to turn on and off a regular light switch :)
Judy with Renee Zellweger 👍👍
but on the other hand, those are great safety features for office buildings!
Well, the new location I can "feel" whenever someone is walking in the office next to ours. There is this vibration in the floor. I can even tell when the UPS guy is out in the main hallway. When it rains, we can hear it on the roof. The old building, not. And those darn senor lights, where I find myself sitting in my office in the dark :P
I saw her years ago here in New Orleans. She does have a pretty voice.
She performed at the 1984 World’s Fair. She arrived very late for the concert. Not sure why she was late. She did not offer an apology. She got booed.
After the concert finally started it was good.
I feel in a fighting mood
We are not ignoring you.
Keep reading, keep posting.
I see by your profile you are moving your MIL into your home?
There are many other threads that are more active, just keep putting yourself out there.
Did you see online the baby video that went viral when a baby first had a
hearing aid? Dec.2019.
So very sweet!
I hope you will find relief soon. Hugs.
Or Ashwagandha?
I'm running out of options if this doesn't work. Ativan used to help me but of course my doc won't prescribe it anymore even though I was taking the lowest dose.
I finally have it done but it was an ordeal.
