Thanks for the well wishes and for helping to put it in perspective. I do understand that death is hard for many people to express their sorrow and sympathy. I need to remember to not be judgmental and that most people truly mean well. I do wish that I spoke up and asked to be moved in the church but I think I was in shock- with grief and that these people did not realize that the family wanted to be together. My BIL was a wonderful and funny guy so I have lots of great memories of us all laughing together--- and as a scrapbooker- I have lots of the family memories at my fingertips-so that is very comforting. thanks again for the helpful input!

My brother in law died unexpectedly this week-- 63 years young, part of our family for 40 years- needless to say- we are devastated. Why do people feel the need to say to the widow and the children things like...when my husband died I felt...oh, it was the worst when my father died.PLEASE- just say you are sorry, he was a great man, etc..... do not tell stories that make it about YOU!!! Someone actually told my sister that he survived heart disease; but now at 80 years old was diagnosed with cancer!! WTF-- my BIL had a heart attack--good that you survived your heart attack- and sorry you have cancer- but my sister really needs support and comfort-- she should not be giving it at this time. I know- people are uncomfortable with death- but please- a simple I am sorry for you loss covers a lot! Just being there is helpful! You do not need to fill the silence. And if you are not part of the immediate family-- WHY are you in the 2nd pew when me and my siblings are in the 3 and 4th pews and not able to comfort my sister and my nieces? Because you lied and told the funeral director you are immediate family- and needed to be in a procession from the funeral home (which was private the day of the funeral!) to the church and got in line right after the limo....so you entered the church as family..... shame on you. Yes- I am pissed. yes- I am grieving- but really......I am in the 4th pew--and my sister or my neices could not even see me to get a comforting glance-never mind a hug- because 6 ignorant and self absorbed people thought they should be close to the family?? How off base am I? Is it wrong that I wanted to be near my sister to comfort her... and yes- I know you think your presence is more important- but amazingly- my sister did not--- she wanted her sisters near her and you deprived her of that. You can be damned sure I made sure we were next to her at the cemetery Sorry for the rant- but I do not understand people's behaviors

I use my body towel once after a shower- my towel for my shampooed hair I use twice. Sheets, pillow cases and pillow covers are changed weekly. In the winter- if I am sick- I change the pillowcases more often. I launder my bath mats about monthly- hand tows are changed every 1-2 days. Kitchen towels changed daily. This is not to say I do laundry daily- I do wait until I have plenty to wash. I guess if my area was in a drought I would have to change my routine.

Hello- I am Diane ( I was digirlwiz2-- somehow I could not access my digirlwiz account years ago so made a new one with digirlwiz2!) and I recently found this site- it was great to see some familiar faces! I did not post a lot but I was a big scrapper and cardmaker back in the day! I loved to see what StephDRebel was up to and loved seeing Annabella's posts about fashion! I learned a lot from the peas... I have been making those oreo and cream cheese balls for years-my family gets upset if I do not bring them to family events! Good to see everyone!!!

Hi, I recently found this site- I was a Pea-not a huge poster- but a long time pea. My purchases have been minimal lately- I was a big OWH cardmaker and now I have no need to buy EVERYTHING! I am still making cards and plan to spend more time scrapping. Oozak.com is my go to place for Copics- so I purchased 2 markers and refill, MFT gnome stamp set, CC Designs snowmen stamp, Prima Toby stamp. I purchased some Tombo refills at AC Moore but that has been it. I got the tiny embellishment container from Amazon (not sure but I think Darice Elizabeth?) it has 82 tiny containers to hold beads,sequins,etc- free with points!
