Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Grandson is so easy to keep. He naps most of afternoon. Diaper change when he gets up. Happy boy.
Luckylu, I thought my mom was the only one in the world who said John when she meant bathroom, lol.
I've told my DH when he retires I expect him to go join something - the old Euro men sitting around in cafes, a men's shed, golf, anything!
And sneaks to the kitchen for sweets when I go to the john.
It's weird~There's no reason to.
I could care less.
Men are just strange ~
I can understand how you would have words about it.
My dad did that to my mom after he retired. I think he was bored. Mom would send him to the store. LOL
Geeeeeez! Just think if you had to pack to move. Less is really more as we age.
Sounds like it is too much togetherness!
My husband and I have always had some of the same interests and some individual interests.
Is this a new thing for him to do, following you around?
Exactly, slippers can’t be safe.
Golden,
I can picture my daughter going to unlatch the gate in flip flops!
I hope that she never breaks anything.
She wiped out her knee in high school.
My kids were very active growing up, dance, gymnastics, volleyball, working out at our health club, jogging, kayaking, etc.
Mother kept everything,including her parents belongings and all of my brother's and my stuff ,along with her and Dad's stuff,so there's 3 generations of stuff up there to go through some day.
It really overwhelms me to even think about it~
I seriously don't know what to do. I've tried to explain that it's not normal (in my opinion) for husbands and wives to spend every waking moment together. He says "I guess that's just how you are" like I'm in the wrong.
Anyone else out there going through this?
I have gone out in the snow in my flip flops to put the garbage etc in the bins. But I am very careful on the front stoop. I have only 2 steps and put runners on them to make them safe. Yes, your feet get wet and cold but not for long.
Years and years ago mother slipped on our front steps and hit her tailbone and cracked it. There was nothing they could do for her. She had pain for months until it healed. Best be very careful!
Attics here were common in old houses but have either been converted into living space if they are large enough or sealed off and filled with insulation.
Attic, yes but we don’t have basements here.
I rented a converted attic when I was single.
It was actually pretty roomy and nice.
I didn’t need a lot of space. Just my kitty shared the space with me.
I didn’t even own a car then. I walked, rode my bike or took public transportation. Ahhhh...simpler times.
Do you have a basement?
I have no idea if we will have any grandchildren.
I haven’t even thought about what to do with our things in the attic.
I adore the doll house that my in laws made for my daughter.
Doll houses are so beautiful, aren’t they?
The miniature furniture is really pretty too.
My kids kept silly little things. Most of it is in the attic but the other day I was looking in the pantry for something and I came across all of their pez candy dispensers!
Remember the very first crocs? They were clogs. Now they have all sorts of styles in crocs.
Oh my gosh, I just looked up the history of Crocs. The first pair was in Boulder, CO.
My daughter is in Denver.
Crocs makes boots, all weather!
WOMEN'S BOOTS
Comfortable and stylish boots for women.
From cute rain boots to winter boots and booties, this is where fashion and function collide.
Lol.
I didn't know that.
Do crocs prevent slipping? I know that you got wet but you didn’t slip.
LOL, forgive me ignorance! I really don’t know. I have never lived in a snowy area.
Your description is exactly how my daughter felt. She looked at putting on snow boots as a PITA!
(yes, my feet did get snowy and wet when I wore my crocs to take out the compost last week 🙄🤣)
