I saw what you said about using a google email,
Kathryn -- but if these older people don't have FB, they may not do email either... I mean, if my dgranddad were alive, he'd be 107 this summer.
WOW. That seems impossible. But true. That is just amazing to me. It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting there talking to him. Of course, in some ways it seems like FOREVER since I was able to talk to him -- when I look at all I wish he had been here to see -- ds, his namesake, growing up to be such a fine young man and having such a beautiful family. But yes -- with him this age, most of the people he worked for are in their 70s or so now.
Favorite tools --
I'm like dgs, LOL -- I don't HAVE a favorite tool... whine whine whine. But unlike dgs, who likes everything, I think I DISlike everything, from the looks of things.
I am very thankful however, for the washer and dryer... (need to go give them some attention right now -- washer just beeped at me)...
and I like the way the house looks when the vacuum cleaner has been on a tour of the rooms...
and as some of you mentioned, I am also very attached to my card file and this village!
Oh -- I couldn't manage without wall calendar & purse calendar, also,
Harmony!
her house is in better shape than mine and I haven't been sick!
Ditto THAT comment from Kathryn! Glad you're doing so much better, Donna!
Hope things improve soon for your dh!
so glad Insurance companies known more then Drs
Boy -- I can certainly relate to THAT comment, TOO. Dmom and I were just talking... soooo hoping and praying that SOMEHOW, she can get either the foot doctor of the family doctor to figure out SOME WAY to do her foot surgery in the hospital, not as an out-patient, and get her 3 nights stay, so she can qualify for in-house rehab.
We are hoping MAYBE, given her history with pain med dependency... MAYBE doctor will admit her for observation.
I know it's a long shot... but as she said, she is labeled a "fall risk" the minute she goes into the hospital, b/c of her age and history. She says, how on earth do they expect a woman with my history to use a knee scooter without breaking my neck???
(((HUGS))) and a BIG POTB,
LadyM, for all you do for your dmom and your dbro... I certainly know the stress involved in all these family relationships.
WTG, ds9!
Blessed, there is a very large rabbit hole at my computer, too! I get started watching videos and I can't stop. Just saw one with two elderly women -- title was something about "you're still the younger sister." It was very funny... and there is a series with a school principal that I just LOVE. I want to work for him -- but he is at an elementary school in KY, I believe. Rose, you should look him up if you haven't already seen these. His name is Gerry Brooks, and really, anyone who has ever had any involvement with school would love it. This one probably applies to all sorts of business meetings:

Nice to be able to order groceries. We don't have that here yet.
My goodness... now I'm watching all the Gerry Brooks videos I haven't seen yet... while my clothes wrinkle in the washer...
I got up early this morning and took dgs to school (b/c dgd had an appt with eye doctor -- good check-up, no inflamation) and then dh and I went to funeral visitation for 96-yr-old friend. Tonight, since we're "all dressed up with no place to go," dh suggested we go to the new(er) restaurant in town. DH has never been inside it, although I have b/c that is where our retired teachers' group meets each month. We're taking ds & dgrands with us -- asked ddil if it would hurt her feelings if we went without her (its' kinda expensive and ds & ddil haven't eaten there yet either) but she said that was fine -- she said she was going bowling with her classmates one night this week or next, and would be extra late getting home from school, so this would repay ds for having extra daddy-duty, LOL.
I've got to get up and get something done.
