Oh dear. My daughter met her realtor to get the keys to her new duplex. The guy next door was out mowing his law in his tighty whities! Not the way to start out.

With the Spectrum mess, we are probably switching to YouTube TV this week. Just hate that we have to piece-meal so much to get all of the channels we want. It will still be cheaper in the end though I believe.

I’m more in favor of term limits, which I think would also solve this problem. And I definitely do not think there should be a mandatory retirement age for most jobs. I can see in some special cases, like pilots as you cited, but in general - no. That’s up to the individual. This 100%.

I am so sorry. That's one reason (of many) that I always buy from Benchmark Bouquets on Amazon. Waiting on deliver of 3 different arrangements now to people. They are much cheaper, and the flowers are beyond amazing. They always last a long time. Everyone I have sent them to just raves over them.
Hope you don't have any more issues and get this resolved.

Just in case anyone is wondering, shooter was a grad student in the professor's research group. So sad.

Oh, no, Patter ! That's awful. Yes, horrific. I haven't watched the news yet this morning to get the update. So very sad!

Just got a breaking news that a faculty member was shot and killed in a campus building. So very, very sad! Prayers for the family, students, and staff!

Whaaaaat? I love my Kleenex with lotion! Boo Hiss! I haven't used Kleenex in years and years. I find the Puffs Plus Lotion much better than the Kleenex. Give it a try.

I have a Miele as do each of my girls. We won't have anything else. Mine is 11 or 12 years old now and still works amazing!

Most brow products I've tried have resulted in too MUCH brow. I want to look like me... the natural me. Me too. I have thinning brows and light brows. What I use looks natural. I don't like the brows that you can tell have "make up" on them.

finsup - WOW the Moroccan tile is beautiful, and the new one is gorgeous too. **GypsyGirl** - love the quilt, very patriotic. disneypal - those colours are so restful. I hope you're enjoying working on it. Wow, couldn't have said it all better myself. I have been traveling and opened up the thread to these gorgeous creations that I missed. My jaw dropped. Everyone's pieces are amazing and SO beautiful. I am SO ready to get back to my art and my crafts! Y'all inspire me.

No I don't. I will see my dad on Monday. He should know, and I will ask. It's huge. And I too love those dresses snow4197 . Do you use an iPhone? If so you can take a photo of it and then go into “info” on the photo and there’s a plant look up option. Okay, so I did that, and I asked my dad. Both say "Catalpa" tree. Interesting because I have never seen one or heard of it.

I've used lots of more and less expensive options, and honestly, the ELF eyebrow pencil is as good as any of them IMO. It's very inexpensive. It's also one of the few that has a medium neutral brown. Most have a reddish brown or else something much too dark for me. I love the E.L.F. Wow Brow Gel.

We have used Poochie Bells for years on many dogs. We LOVE them. Here is a short video. I am sure you can search on Poochie Bells on YT and find many more. Have fun, and she is a cutie! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKZN_Fttwww

I am so sorry! I know your pain well. We just put down our 16 1/2 year old a week ago. I did NOT want to make that decision. My prayer has been for some time that the Lord just take him in his sleep. He did not eat or drink for a full day "out of the blue." He had been fine, healthy, had a checkup 6 weeks prior, and my daughter had just seen him 3 days before. The next day I took him to the vet. My prayer was that the Lord make it extremely clear because I did NOT want to make the decision to put him down. I just couldn't. The vet immediately found a massive tumor in his throat that was not there a few weeks ago thus the reason he would not eat or drink. The decision was clear. He could not suffer like that because the 24 hours had been bad enough. I called all of the family, my daughter drove back up to our home (1 1/2 hours away), and we went together to say our goodbyes. The rest of the family was working and could not be there. The vet wept with us, and while hard, I know we did the right thing.
Your precious one was suffering terribly, and making that decision is never, ever easy. I am sure she would thank you for not letting her suffer anymore. Hugs to you!!! They truly are a huge part of the family!

I wanted to share this journal page with you. It's not done but this is a tracing of a leaf I picked up two days ago. It literally measures 8 1/2" at its widest point by 11" long (not including the stem). It's huge. I was just amazed by it. I didn't like my paint colors but I really just wanted to capture it's size.

Lidl is a German discount store, like Aldi. They are big, 12,000 stores across Europe and the US. Over 900 here in the UK. We only pick up bits and bobs there on a few occasions as I do the main shop at another supermarket but the bakery is close to the entrance and has nice Danish pastries. This. I never did all of my shopping there just some things. Their bakery is great but it wouldn't be a main store ever for me.

Oh that looks so fun! I’m going to try it. Thank you SO much for this idea! You are very welcome. Hope you have fun! quiltz how beautiful. You certainly work fast. Wow! **GypsyGirl** so many beautiful quilts. What a treasure! jeremysgirl I can't wait to see what you do with your hand quilting. I am heavy back into cross stitch so I guess I love the "hand stuff" too. lisae my arthritis is so bad in my hands but I bought the Addi Swing hooks and never looked back. I am thankful I can keep crocheting.

Yah cakediva!!! It turned out stunning! Aren't they do fun? Oh my word. I am actually just itching to start another one but I don't know who I will make it for yet. I need to wait because I like to choose the colors for the person. So, instead I am cross stitching right now. Going to stop at a "new to me" cross stitch store today. Can't wait!!! So, question is--which pattern will you do next and what colors? I have done Doo-Dad, Whatchamacallit, and Marnie's Garden. As I do them, I say that each is my favorite. LOL!

jeremysgirl, I love that you discovered you need to put your phone on do not disturb. What a great idea! I don't watch much TV but hubby and I do watch 1-2 shows after dinner together. I usually cross stitch or crochet at that time. I actually love that part of the day.

Thanks for sharing the link Patter . It is a really nice frame - my cross stitch projects are always the last thing I resort to doing simply because I find it kind of awkward. As she said in the video, a lot of us don't stitch with others so we don't compare notes on our techniques and tools. While I have spotted frames in stores, I really had no idea how they worked and they are often expensive so I never asked about them. I can see how this would make it more enjoyable to pull out my stitch projects. For sure. I have been watching a lot of Flosstube when I stitch. I have learned SO much even though I have been stitching since the 1970s. Eeek! Anyway, it truly has made a world of difference. The investment was worth it!

Oh wow, love that gillyp . Beautiful and looks so fun! marysue63 that quilt is beautiful. I am trying to pack up for my OH/MI trip. I got a new lap stand for my cross stitch, and I must tell you I am in LOVE. I has helped my hands SO much, and it has made cross stitch so enjoyable again. I am going to take that and some of my art stuff. Hubby will hold down the fort while I am gone. Where in Michigan are you going? I will PM you.
