Stomach sleeper. Several pillows under my head and one on each side of me. TV MUST be on and on shows that I like. TV stays on all night long. If, for some reason, it stops or a show comes on that I don't like, I will immediately wake up. My dog sleeps with me, and he needs the TV on too now!

Christ is risen indeed, Alleluia!

I just read this after I posted. I agree with you fully on all points.

Many many hugs. I am very sorry. Our sweet furry family members simply do not live long enough. I have had to make the choice to let 2 of ours go and I always say that it is the last loving and kind thing I can do for them. It hurt like hell, but I have never regretted my decisions (made, of course, with the guidance of our vet).

Thank you for these kind words and affirmation that holidays can be hard and even harder when they are not at all like we hoped/dreamed/thought they would be. I dread holidays now, just bloody dread them. Please know that I see you and am also holding you in my thoughts as well.

Old show favorites: Gilmore Girls Big Bang Theory The Middle Golden Girls Parenthood Schitt's Creek New show favorites: Sullivans Crossing The Way Home Extended Family Ghosts *I know I have many more favorites but for the life of me can't think of the names of any right now* Thought of 4 more: Young Sheldon Workin' Moms Children Ruin Everything Bluey

It is a huge sacrifice, but you both may feel free to send me your left over chocolate bunnies.😄 Such a thing as "left over chocolate" does not exist in my house!

I am so so sorry. I teared up looking at the picture. Many hugs if you would like them.

Yep.

First, you did a great job and I am really proud you. Second, yeah, I agree, she is reloading and will be developing a new plan. I think that is exactly why she threw that out about your aunt (i was thinking that as I was reading it and am glad you picked up on it too).

Gosh, I think this sounds really nice. I do not like big homes and very much prefer old small homes with character and history. Being in a quiet community, on a river, and close to jobs on top of that would be heaven. You are very lucky.

I like all of this answer and think this is the way to go. I also agree that Rosie is very wise. I always learn something from her.

This made me cry. While I am not the OP, I want you to know that I desperately needed to hear this and didn't realize it until I read it. Thank you so very much for sharing it.

I did not think Maine could get any better, but here we are. Oh for a miracle to happen so I could move there.

Thank you so much for this thread! Thanks to you, I FINALLY cleaned out and organized the med boxes. I have been putting it off for months. It feels good to have it completed.

I have consumer cellular and still do not have service.

No. Not at all.

What a smart idea. I hope you have a lovely break and meaningful Lenten season. I would love to hear your thoughts on the digital break after you return. Edit: apparently, I can't spell

I am saving nothing except a few beloved children's books. The older I get the less sentimental I am. My kids don't want any of it so I see no need to burden them with it once I am gone.

I'm relieved you are doing better and are home. Do you have some help for at least a few days? Will you be able to be off work for a while to recover? T

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but we used Teaching Textbooks and found it to be a wonderful curriculum that very well prepared my teen for college level math.

Praying.

This is the collar I used for my youngest dog after surgery and it worked well. Like Mercy said, my dog could sleep in relatively comfortably. Much nicer and less sad than the cone of shame the vet provided (for a large fee!).

Oh I wish I could get that in the US (nowhere near me has it or ships it from what i can find). I even checked Amazon and they don't have them. It looks/sounds so good!!! You guys have the best stuff.

We had one of those when I was kid. My mother made our milk in it. Thoroughly disgusting powdered milk. You had to beat the crap out of it to make the powder dissolve. Gross gross gross!
