  1. My daughter who is in a religious order in another country called me just a bit ago. She's been mostly staying off the computer for Lent but checks email every few days. This morning she had several messages from Facebook saying her account password has been changed, a different phone number has been added, etc. I looked at her Facebook account and the language is changed to some Arabic looking language with a pic of Saddam Hussein, etc. Is there a way to report this? She can't even access her account anymore, and she doesn't want to make international phone calls to try to figure this out. Should I call or email Facebook? I can't find a phone number, and when I google it all kinds of stuff comes up, many of which are probably scams themselves. Aaaaggh. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. I'm so happy for you, that you had such a good time reconnecting with your friend! I understand about feeling nervous because I felt that way, too, before seeing friends I hadn't seen in decades. I hope your get together with your other friends is just as enjoyable.

  3. I love my Rowenta! A friend recommended that brand when we were sewing theater costumes together. I bought mine at Kohls, on sale and with a coupon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. I am so very sorry. Your sister and all of your family are in my prayers. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  5. I hope you have a fun visit with your friend! If it were me, I'd explain about the hearing problem at the beginning. People are understanding about those things. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

    I'm so sorry, Rachel! Take good care of yourself and let others help you as much as possible. *Hugs* Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  7. Donate to a thrift store or put a box of them on the curb with a free sign. They will be gone soon, if your area is like mine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. I'm making chicken fajitas and salad. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  9. It will be ok! Five years ago we began a kitchen/dining room/living room remodel. Six weeks turned into eight weeks. I always had access to our refrigerator, but for most of that time I cooked in the basement bathroom. I had a crock pot and a large electric skillet on a small table. I had a rice cooker also. We ate pretty normally to be honest. I didn't deep fry anything. I made chili, spaghetti sauce, stir fry, etc, in the electric skillet and lots of one pot meals in the crock pot. You will survive!

  10. We took our kids on a vacation to see the Grand Canyon years ago. Somewhere in Texas, a small dark blue car with two bikes on top and Vermont tags passed us. Later we stopped at a visitors' center in Texas and noticed this same blue car in the parking lot. Not so unusual. Then we saw them again when we pulled into a visitors center in New Mexico. Funny. We stayed two nights in NM, sightseeing. Then on to Arizona and yep, there they were at the Arizona visitors center. We laughed. We stayed overnight in Flagstaff and the next morning we went to the Grand Canyon. We pulled into the parking lot and there was the blue car from Vermont with the bikes on top. Maybe they were thinking, why is that family with all the kids following us? Ha. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  11. I knew there would be people in the Hive who shared my sadness at her death. She was a favorite of mine, too, since I was a young teen. I really, really need to re-read The Left Hand of Darkness. I enjoyed this video of Neil Gaiman presenting her a lifetime achievement award. https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=109s&v=5PI1xwT2-74 Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  12. I'm on the other side, the grandma taking care of a grandchild. Our daughter and son-in-law had an opportunity to go to a wedding in India and they left their 18-month-old with us for nine days. They considered taking him but the travel alone was more than 24 hours each way, plus he would not have remembered it. He did very well at our house. He knows us, sees us a lot, and we did keep him overnight before the big trip. They had a fantastic time. We sent text messages and photos and videos back and forth. I had fun taking our grandson to library story time, the park, etc. Sure, they missed him, but they're so glad they took the trip. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  13. I think the two phrases are similar, but it's much stronger to follow with, "Will you forgive me?" Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  14. My dad passed away (Mom has been gone several years) and I cleaned out their very full house, had an estate sale during a community garage sale weekend, listed and sold the house, and took care of other estate business. I did have help but I was the one organizing it all. It was physically and emotionally exhausting and I'm so glad it's done. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  15. Well, it wasn't all 100. It was eight books. I agree that it is best to forget it and move on. I'll consider them a donation from now on. I won't give a book to someone else that I really want back. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  16. Unfortunately, I don't know all the titles. I remember a couple. The person lives at least two hours away from me, I think in the town where the wedding was but I'm not positive. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  17. But I didn't write down the titles! I now wish that I had, but at the time I didn't want to take the time so I just made sure my name was written in each one. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  18. Yes, I think they're most likely gone for good. What I should have done is Konmaried my own books and loaned those, ones I was going to donate anyway. Then whatever ones I got back I could donate, and any I didn't get back, well it wouldn't matter. I would feel strange getting contact info for a person I don't even know, who most likely lives hours away from me, and calling her about a few books whose titles I don't completely remember.

  19. Love the Aggie/Maggie/Agnes story. [emoji4] Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  20. Asking for money would only cause hard feelings. Honestly, I was worried that some food or drink could get spilled on them. It never occurred to me that I wouldn't get several back at all. I hope you get your book back! Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
  21. All the tables I saw still had three books on them. Each stack of three had twine tied around them so they would have had to untie the twine or take the whole stack. It's possible but not too likely. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. The bride's family was in charge of the decorating. We're related to the groom so I don't have email addresses for those in charge, and it makes it all the more awkward that I don't really know them. I asked the MOG (to whom we are related) but all she could do was ask the bride. We went to her baby shower about four months ago and so I thought I'd ask one more time. The bride's mother said she didn't have them. The bride said, I think maybe so-and-so has them. I'll have to ask. And that's the last I heard. We live a few hours apart so I don't see them much.

  23. No one has all 100 books. They have eight I think. I recognized my books when we were cleaning up. They are like friends. Still, I did check that my name was in them just in case someone else had the same book. If I had someone else's books I think I would realize it right away, even if it were only a few.

  24. Right, but I didn't write down all the titles. I remember some but I'm not sure about all of them. I thought of doing that but then just ended up making sure my name was inside, and how many I loaned. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk
