I'm not sure what I would have said, but I think your response was very kind given the circumstances.

My Oklahoma Sooners have a bye week.
I'll be cheering for my son's alma mater, Notre Dame, when they play UNLV this afternoon.
I'm hoping that we have a college football weekend that is at least half as exciting as last week!
BOOMER!

I was just thinking yesterday about how I never know what to post on those threads except “I’m so sorry. I’ll pray for you.”
I hope the peas struggling with health issues know how much we all really do care.

We just happened to be at the Oklahoma City Zoo when a baby giraffe was born at the Oklahoma City Zoo in 1995. The baby was born in the regular outdoor giraffe enclosure and we just happened to be walking by and saw a big crowd gathered. The Oklahoma City bombing had just happened a few days before and it seemed like a such a hopeful event in the midst of so much tragedy.

It's cute, but I don't think it's cute enough to cost $363 a square ft. w/ no land included.

I would be very frustrated if I were you. I would be frustrated to learn my doctor had prescribed a new medication w/out informing me first. I would also be frustrated that the nurse can't or won't answer your basic questions on the patient portal.

I've never really taken a break. Sometimes I've stepped away for a bit, but never for very long. I don't think I'll ever leave permanently. If I stop posting completely, you can assume I'm dead. I usually check Two Peas when I am on vacation. I find that even when I am on the busiest of vacations, there is always some down time (before bedtime, traveling from one location to another, etc.) where I find myself checking out the board. This sounds crazy, but I always feel a little guilty checking out Two Peas while on vacation. I remember on the old board there were several times that the more judgmental peas reprimanded peas who posted while on vacation, telling the vacationing peas they had a real problem if they couldn't stay off the board during vacation.

I had an inlaw (now deceased) who made my life absolutely miserable at times. She could be a lovely, sweet, fun person and then suddenly become a raging beast over nothing. At one point she caused a rift so bad between my husband and myself, I honestly wondered if the damage could be healed. Finally, after months of trying to get him to talk about what happened and see things from my point of view, he realized that his family had just always backed down to this person and let her have her way to avoid any type of conflict.
She would blow up at me and be mad at me for days or weeks or sometimes even months and then she would suddenly act as if nothing ever happened. I never would have put up w/ her if she were not family. I think she thought if she pretended like nothing had ever happened between us, that I would forget all about these incidents as well and that our relationship would not be damaged. I don't think she ever realized how much she hurt me and how much damage she did to our relationship.
I really did love this inlaw in many ways, but I hated the drama she caused.

My Oklahoma Sooners got a win today against Kansas.
After the game, we went out for burgers at a sports bar and watched the TCU/OSU and Tennessee/Alabama games. I have never watched two more exciting games at the same time!

No advice, but I hope you have a fun trip.
I have a friend who bought a little vintage trailer and joined a club. She goes on three or four weekend trips a year w/ her group and has a great time.

I'm looking forward to the coronation. It was very considerate of King Charles to have scheduled it the day before my birthday so that it wouldn't overshadow my special day. One of my all time favorite travel memories was visiting the Tower of London w/ my son when he was about 12. We arrived before the gates opened and went straight to the building where the crown jewels are displayed. There were only a few other people there at that time and we rode the people mover through the display three or four times practically by ourselves. After about 30 minutes, it started getting crowded, so we left and went to see the other buildings. We walked by an hour later and the line was out the door. We felt so fortunate to have had our one on one time w/ the crown jewels.

My Oklahoma Sooners play #19 Kansas in Norman. The Sooners will be wearing alternate uniforms honoring OU's first black scholarship player and our starting quarterback is expected to return, so I'm very hopeful we'll win and begin our process of rebuilding.
BOOMER!

Well that was our worst loss against Texas since 1964. I hope it’s another 58 years’ before we lose to Texas that badly again. If so, I’ll be dead and won’t have to watch it. 🫣😀😫

My Oklahoma Sooners play Texas which is always the biggest game of the year. The game is always played at the Cotton Bowl in the middle of the Texas State Fair at Dallas.
My husband and I are headed to Dallas tomorrow. My daughter and her fiancé are flying in from Raleigh for the game.
Oklahoma is struggling this year and Texas is favored by almost 10 points, but you never can tell what will happen when OU and Texas play. The last nine games have been decided by one touchdown or less.
BOOMER!

I'm shocked a real estate agent even accepted this listing, since the house is so overpriced. I would assume you would have to have a cash buyer, since it sounds like the house is not going to be appraised at anywhere near the asking price. Please keep us posted, peabay.

We are in the process of revising our estate planning documents. Since we originally signed those documents, we have moved to a different state, which made certain revisions necessary. Plus, now that our children are grown, we want them to serve as trustees rather than our siblings.

I’ve had my eyebrows waxed at Ulta several times and have always been pleased. My eyebrows haven’t gotten any thinner as I’ve aged and I’ve been plucking the heck out of my eyebrows since I was eleven. I tend to think that whether your eyebrows thin as you age is determined by genetics more than any other factor. Every other part of my body is showing my age, but my eyebrows are as thick as ever. I don’t want to talk about my wrinkly skin.

It’s a beautiful old house with lots of character. I love all the light.
I would have to reconfigure the kitchen. As a previous poster said, the stove is unusable.
I would want to talk to a landscaper and see what could be done about that shaded area in back. The trees are lovely. It looks like a small area, but surely you could add some pavers and plant some shade loving plants and make more use of the outdoor space.

While I don’t think it would be unethical to use the hotel room, it’s not something I would do. I would book another room and pay for it myself. I like to keep business and personal expenses completely seperate, as much as possible.
In most companies, management can change at any point. If the new management was reviewing past business expenses for whatever reason, I wouldn’t want to have to explain why I stayed in that hotel room, even though it was ok’d by the old boss. The new management might have a completely different attitude about business expenses than the current boss.
ETA If I were the boss, I wouldn’t okay the employee staying in the room unless I knew for sure the IRS would still deem the hotel room a legitimate business expense even though an employee used it for non business purposes. I know it’s a million to one shot that the IRS would discover the employee used the room for non business purposes, but I am a rules follower when it comes to business.

Thankfully, I've never seen the cake shove done at any wedding I've attended.
I don't like practical jokes. However, if I was one who liked to play practical jokes and I knew for sure my spouse wouldn't mind being humiliated on our wedding day in front of family and friends, I would come up with something more original than the cake shove.

It was a bad day for my Oklahoma Sooners. TCU pretty much destroyed us. Hopefully we’ll do better in Dallas next week against Texas in the Red River Rivalry.

I'm not a fan either. I don't think they are flattering on anyone. I don't think they are practical. If you get hot, you can't just pull off a layer.
