A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Makes you one with nature!
Have a Happy New Year, full of good exercise.
Sounds like a bit of good therapy, but yes go inside get warm and have a cup of good cheer
Of course, if you'd like to come over and sort through all of mom's medical bills some of which I don't open just randomly move from the kitchen table to the living room - you're more than welcome!
SS sent me so many 5-6 page letters since October, that I have no idea what my income will be this year. But I have enough insulation if the heat pump goes out.
Maybe just say inside and enjoy some cheese and crackers.:-)
Get yourself a little relief with the bills.
Copy all your Mom's insurance cards, return them with the bill in each envelope.
This will confound the enemy, they will need to double check to confirm if both insurance companies have fully paid. Then they will check her Explanation of Benefits,
(OR send a copy of that too)! And often, the EOB says the maximum your Mom should owe. You will be helping the providers figure this all out for you.
Many will never send you a bill back. Others may adjust the bill accordingly.
KEEP COPIES if you want.
I know this is hard, and such a worry for you. This process will give you some much needed time to pay some bills. Then, you can always make payment arrangements, monthly.
How is that?
Thanks Cwillie!

All the bitter weary ways
Endless striving day by day
You barely have the strength to pray
In the valley low
And how hard your fight has been
How deep the pain within
Wounds that no one else has seen
Hurts too much to show
All the doubt you're standing in between
And all the weight that brings you to your knees
He knows
He knows
Every hurt and every sting
He has walked the suffering
He knows
He knows
Let your burdens come undone
Lift your eyes up to the one
Who knows
He knows
We may faint and we may sink
Feel the pain and near the brink
But the dark begins to shrink
When you find the one who knows
The chains of doubt that held you in between
One by one are starting to break free
He knows
He knows
Every hurt and every sting
He has walked the suffering
He knows
He knows
Mother Loved her soap opera,"Days of Our Lives".She always looked foreward to it and never missed her show.One day,while she was on Hospice,we decided to go to the Bookstore,Barnes and Noble and look around.On the way out there was a sign that said that "Doug and Julie" from Days of Our Lives would be there That night to do a book signing...We couldn't believe it and raced home to change our clothes and go back to the store and Mom saw her "Hero's" there right in front of her,talking about their book and taking any questions about the show.Mother Loved every minute and I Loved seeing Mom so happy.It was a night I will never forget,Mom went to sleep smiling~
Now I notice a chemical smell coming back off it - eewww
Decided to call the toll free number to the company and asked if they had any other complaints?
Yes, she said- too much resin on the matte labels and should be fixed in a couple of weeks - she'll be sending me some coupons in the mail
I'm glad that they're stepping up quickly to correct the issue - I eat a container every morning and would not like to change brands over a label
That is beautiful story about your mom. I remember watching the soaps when I came home from high school. My friend loved Days of our Lives. I got hooked on General Hospital and the love triangle between Jax, Brenda and Sonny.:-)
Dear MsMadge,
So glad they are fixing your favorite yogurt. Scary about the label but I'm glad you called about it.
My favorite thing is my baby niece. She is 17 months old already singing her ABCs and getting a tall enough to grab onto the counters and tables.
I can't believe your niece is already almost a year and a half old.It seems like it was just yesterday,she came.She 's a cutie,I can tell.I bet you'll spoil her rotten! :)
Thank you so much my friend. My niece was born two months before my dad passed away. It is hard to believe the times has gone so quickly. If I am still on this board, maybe one day I will say she is starting first grade.:-) I do love her to bits. And enjoying buying her many things.:-) Too much according to her mother.
Thank you for sharing with me about your grandmother's love for General Hospital. I am happy to hear that Doug and Julie signed your mother's Marlana doll. I'm glad when celebrities are really nice in real life and care about their fans.
Thank you for your kindness to me Luckylu. I greatly appreciate it.
After the birthdate, we rarely hear more.....

I got pictures too... 😁
Take another little piece of my heart
L is quiet the explorer and wants to be involved in everything you are doing. I sit him on the counter so he can stir food that is cooking. Of course I watch him closely and he knows what “hot” means. He actually does pretty good.
The first crocuses in bloom.
The fragrance of Easter plants in stores.
Gardening catalogues brightening the mailbox contents, especially the ones with great buys.
