Your dh is so sweet rymeswithpurple . ITA about marrying your best friend. Delta Dawn , do you need a rescue med? Just remember that this is a temporary feeling and your thoughts are temporary. You will feel clear and better. I like tmarschall 's idea of visiting w/friends, but letting them know that you aren't hungry. Then again, don't dwell on the food. You just need to take any steps that your psych suggests in order to make yourself feel better.
I went for my walk then did some cleaning and decluttering and had to stop, because I used up most of my spoons. In my next life I'm going to ask for a lot more spoons.
austnscrapaddict good for you for standing up for yourself. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

(( hugs )) to anyone who needs 'em! Ugh....having a rough time. My pain levels are unbearble sometimes. My hip replacement was scheduled for yesterday, but it's been delayed. I *HATE* that I cannot do so many things, and if I make the slightest wrong move, it's excruciating. We've been enjoying doggie sitting BUT one of them has MANY medical issues, and we're worried about her. She's going to the vet in a couple hours, and we're anxious to see what happens. DH is grabbing a pizza after the vet...I can't wait. I've been craving oatmeal/ butterscotch chip cookies, but not making them because A)---do NOT need all that sugar! and B)-- It's too painful. I dreamed about you last night. You were getting ready to go out w/friends for the evening, but you needed me to watch your dh's dinner, enchiladas in the oven and take them out for him when they were ready. I had a difficult time checking on them because you had put clams on them. Do not ask what I was dosed w/before bed. LOL. That dream is HIL. AR. IOUS. !!!! Thanks for making me giggle! Clams on enchiladas.... P.S....Whatever you took before bed, may I please have some? I'll pay the FED-X charges! rymeswithpurple ...Aww, how sweet! My DH is also wonderful, and I always try to remember to never take him for granted! I have seen so many horrible marriages in my family and with friends, so I am VERY thankful! (p.s....I didn't even want to be married, and was always very independent (due to seeing so much divorce). she and her wife are spending some of the money they inherited from my dad to go on a trek to base camp at Everest. so she is getting more outdoor gear. my dad would have been. happy. he was friends with the first american to climb everest, and had many other friends who were himalayan climbers. Wow...I can't imagine what it'd be like to be SO adventurous! I’m meeting some former coworkers tonight for our monthly supper outing That's great that y'all meet regularly---I just love my former co-workers (well, not ALL of them, of course--but 90 % !) A few years ago, we had a reunion dinner, and it was soooo fun to see everyone again!!! I wish it was a regular thing like yours, though. Thankful we at least have facebook, though. cadoodlebug...Great news on Mister Doodle's clear margins! This was a partner project but my grandson some how inherited most of the work I am so proud of him. Aww...he put in so much effort with the pencils and sharpeners. tmarschall...Omg, your deck faces a LAKE ? ! ? I'm sooooo jealous !!!

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support yesterday with the DIL situation. We received a group text to all the grandparents about GS's award ceremony tomorrow morning, inviting us all and said she had just found out Glad you got that text today. How hurtful and awkward it's been for you! My question: has your DIL *always* alienated you like this, or is it new? Or is it only when she's around her "Mommy Dearest"?

leannec, enjoy coffee. Is this the guy who had to postpone the other night? Nope! A different one! I am keeping my options open! I have lot's of free time right now to date so I am going to take advantage of it. Just read the last few posts from yesterday's thread. leannec, my shoes could beat up your shoes, but my purses need their own room. Well, the sad thing is those shoes have only gotten into that state since I moved ... I had about five pair before ... wasn't into shoes and now I am. The cowboy boots I bought yesterday cost me over $300 ... but they are worth it because I wear them a lot ... more than the average person! Good luck on your date, @leanne. You have a great attitude about a process that can be pretty defeating at times. I am an expert at online dating now ... I can pick out fake profiles and liars ... my spidey senses are excellent ... I'm not looking for someone to take care of me or give me money which many women online are ... I'm just looking for someone honest and fun!

DS came over and made Benihana-knockoff fried rice for lunch. Lots of veggies! That’s probably dinner, too. And maybe I’ll finally cook those artichokes? I’m feeling well today, scrapmaven. Thanks for asking. Glad your owie is a little better today, sueg. Hope it’s all forgotten within a day or two. @caboodlebug, ditto that for DH. Glad he had a good experience today. That was the sweetest thing ever, rymeswithpurple. Your DH is a prize, and you probably are, too. Delta Dawn, hope your brain winds down a bit and you can feel calmer. hutchfan, what a great guy your DGS is! His project sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing your recipe, teacherlisa. It sounds delish. austnscrapaddict, that sounds like such a better tone from your DIL. Hopefully the relationship will be on better footing from now on.

The calibre of men my age near me are the worst. I mean garbage. I see all my divorced women friends and think why would I ever want that? Even BFF married to the Arab guy is terrible.

scrappintoee My DIL can be and usually is a very good DIL. but she is a spoiled only child of divorced parents. DIL and her mom are both sort of ditsy and I genuinely think that they just don't "get" it that people exist. DIL is definitely different around her mom. even my other son and DIL have commented on that. I'm glad I voiced my feelings and all is good now, My son called on his way home from work a few minutes ago and we chit chatted like normal. I won't be the one to bring it up going forward.

The board just keeps eating my posts all day today. I swear I posted earlier. I had nothing but tech issues on my computer at work. Sigh. Just an IT failure today.
It always throws me off when I'm late to post because then I can never remember all the things I want to say. 😂
So I'll just keep it short. I will eat a salmon burger and Jeremy will eat a beef burger. I will make some hot honey glazed carrots too.
I'll be back tomorrow with some more brain power. 😉

The calibre of men my age near me are the worst. I mean garbage. I agree! They are all: 1) Santa 2) Bikers 3) Fishermen 4) Homeless looking They are not professional AT ALL! They do not make an attempt at a good profile photo ... very discouraging! The ones who look great are fake That's why I go for younger men ... they at least know how to take a selfie!

scrappintoee, I'm bummed to hear that your surgery was postponed. Do you have a new surgery date, at least? I sincerely hope that this surgery makes a huge improvement in your overall health and pain level. You deserve genuine happiness lots of feel good days.

lucyg ....Glad you're feeling okay today! P.S...I'm intrigued by your honeycomb/ chocolate bar---trying to imagine that combo. scrapmaven ...** IRONY ALERT! ** My kind, awesome, very fit orthopedic surgeon is injured! Of course it's none of my business what happened, but I am so curious! I hope he'll be okay. Another irony---back in December, he joked with us that he and the fam were going skiing, and he hoped HE didn't end up needing surgery. I do NOT KNOW how to proceed!!! Dh is pressuring me to find someone new, but my guy does a VERY specialized technique that not all of them do. Plus, I have *other* issues that make the whole thing so damn complicated ! scrapmaven ....Your surgery situation is much-needed and ( I assume ? ) life-threatening, whereas mine is not. I am sending you SO. MUCH positive juju that your &*#$@*$% insurance will approve and cover it! taylortroop ...Speaking of which.... I hope your DH is feeling okay and that he gets a surgery date ASAP! teddyw ...I would LOVE it if you would get that insurance job and approve EVERYTHING!

tmarschall ...Omg, your deck faces a LAKE ? ! ? I'm sooooo jealous !!! Yes, if we were on the other side of the street, we'd be ON the water, buy we are on a hill, so it works out. You have to peek thru the trees a bit when the foliage is full, but it's there. We have a little pontoon and like to toodle around the lake in the evenings with a drink. Here is Lola surveying her kingdom. Attachments:

scrappintoee , it’s not real beeswax honeycomb, if that’s what you’re thinking. It’s honeycomb candy aka sea foam, angel food, sponge candy, and probably some other names I’m not familiar with, crumbled into dark chocolate.

scrappintoee, if your doctor does this specialized procedure that no one else does then I would wait for him. Hopefully, he'll back on the job very fast. This surgery isn't life or death for me. If it worked it would have prevented me from having a lifelong device that is unpleasant and requires a daily thing. So, it's a bumemr, but not the end of the world. An appeal has been started and we shall see.
