I used to be a Charmin snob but several years ago I switched to Sam's Members Mark Ultra Premium. Great stuff, and now I am a Sam's snob.

Oh wanted to add that we also have stamped concrete. I love that but the builder did the color AFTER the stamping, and it is wearing off and a pain. If I did it again, I would have the color mixed in with the concrete and then stamped.

We have one on a massive hill. One driveway is concrete, the other is paved when they widened that driveway going down a hill to our other garage. Engineers had to come in to make sure it was all done right because of the grade. It was done beautifully but 6 years later as the ground is settling, the pavers are falling. At this point I am ready to cover it all in blacktop.

My friend has cochlear implants. She does amazing with them. She has her good pair she wears out and her "least favorite pair" she wears around the house. It's really cool how they attached, etc. She loves to share. You are going to LOVE them. Praying it all goes well!

Okay, and the weighted pillow is done now too for my new lap stand. What do you put inside the pillow? I have two heavy metal spoke weight rulers that I use in my basketry, but weighted pillows would work great too! Sometimes the metal slides around on the reed... I used Poly Pellets. They work great.

Made this quick little pin cushion this morning out of scraps. I am making a weighted pillow next out of scraps for my cros stitch lap stand. Hope to finish that today too. Sorry the picture is so big.

Ha yes but full of osteoarthritis. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. (I have some arthritis in my fingers and probably one big toe. It can hurt a lot.) Yes, it's very painful. Unfortunately I have it in my hands, back (had surgery to remove some of the bone), shoulder, and now my right foot. I believe it may be progressing because of my blood disorder. The studies I have read all confirm that. Sorry you suffer too. Hugs!

I have been taking these Citracal supplements for years. I take them with my lunch. The last bone density scan I had, they said I have the bones of a 40 year old--I am 58. Citracal Slow Release

When you go to an appliance store today to replace what was broken yesterday and you tell the sales person that your units are 16 years old. He responds with "Sixteen years ago I was 16." EEEK. The kid looked like he was in his 40s.

cakediva, it is coming along great. That was the first HOS pattern I did too. I thought it was my favorite but I can no longer say that. I love all of the patterns. gillyp, beautiful blanket! Finished this one last night. The person I am gifting this to loves bright colors so I hope she will like this. She is having her cervical spine fused on 8/11. I am taking her to lunch on Friday, and I will give it to her then.

Well, I have a bit of art/craft ADD. I do SO much but love it all. I do what brings me joy at the moment--cross stitch, sewing, crochet, mixed media art, journaling, etc.

While I love my Wusthof knives from when I lived in Germany, I prefer my Cutco knives. Mom and Dad have had their set since 1964, and I have had mine since 1989. Still perfect. They have had their sharpened 2x I believe. I have not had to have mine sharpened yet.

I have never, ever had good luck scheduling pickups with UPS, USPS, FedEx--none of them! Thankfully, I have a UPS store 5 minutes away so I drop off there. Walgreen's is a pickup location for FedEx, and again 5 minutes away. USPS I just pay for postage at home and put in my mailbox. I refuse to use pickup services anymore because they never come even after calls made to them the day after the scheduled pickup.
