I’ve said it before and I will say it again, who ever invented wine, thank you!
I’m frankly amazed that our bridges stay up as well as they do. Thankfully, the people who design and build them aren’t the same people who handle scheduling at my doctor’s office.
Also, scheduling people: do not outright lie about leaving me a message. Do not try to re-schedule me with a doctor who can’t provide what I need. And do not act as if I am screwing up YOUR day.
Since the post about the synagogue was closed… I thought I would update on our friends.
D checked her friends Facebook and another friend posted that everyone in her family was all right. I feel so relieved.
Still praying.
You know all those sweaters and pairs of pants you wear once then insist on putting in the laundry? I pull half of them out of the dirty laundry bin, refold them, and put them straight into your clean laundry basket. You’ve never noticed, we’re saving on laundry costs, and you look and smell just as good as if I’d washed them. I figure it’s a win-win. 
Please do not think I cannot smell air fresheners, cheap perfume, scented candles or anything else that’s stinky. I am the nose. Wish I didn’t have this “gift” Isn’t there any way to have everything be unscented? Am I the only one who could smell the Xmas candle months after we bought it?
I ordered enzymatically modified starches so that I can make low carb bread…I can’t wait.
I wish I didn’t need to take my kitty to the cat cardiologist to the tune of over $600, to get them to write the inexpensive prescription that may or may not be working. He’s gained weight and is still doing well, months after even the vet thought he was a goner. I’d be happy just continuing to give him the prescription without the visit.
Some anniversary when all you can say is “It is what it is.” When I say I’d like to try to refresh our marriage.
Going to a “meet and greet” the future groom and bride, and you get to see a friend from 25 years ago. The hostess is the best at never losing touch with special people, and the rest Of us depend on her to have a party every year or so. This is my son’s best friend since age 3. Even tho they live separate lives there is That wonderful connection .
I’ve said it directly, but I’ll say it here, too. I’m very grateful to a friend of my older daughter. Last night, on only a few hours’ notice, she offered to and did pick up my daughter at an airport after a delayed flight, then a rescheduled flight, and drove my daughter to the train station and waited there with her until the 4 a.m. train ride back to my daughter’s home city. The friend is a sorority sister from college; they’ve both been out of school for five years.
It’s easy to forget to slow down, sit back, and watch what nature has to offer. But when you do, sometimes you see some amazing things, such as a pair of eagles gathering branches and building a nest.
Our rabbi’s mother-in-law died tonight. Not in Pittsburgh, but still. This has been an excruciatingly painful day.
Disney Dads are horrible, immature people who don’t understand the first thing about real parenting.
Who said that turkey sausages suck? Turkey Kielbasa is just as good.
So glad that it has worked out. It may have been a bit selfish of me but I have been just stressed enough about it all that when the opportunity came, I took it. Self-preservation and the desire for a stress free holiday for my family won out over other concerns. I do believe that when divine intervention appears to have occurred, one should follow the path offered and not look back.
Today Happydad and I voted, then went out for lunch and for a country drive to look at the leaves. We have become my parents. 
I told you I need this in that particular spot. You pushed back. Did you really think I would say, “Okay, fine, whatever you say?” Instead, I said, “I need to have it there. I was told I could provide tweaks, and now I am telling you I need this tweak.” Then you CRIED?! I really can’t deal with this anymore. Yes, I know. I need to leave. Anyone want to hire an old lady? This time around, I think I just want to push paper clips around on a desk. That sounds lovely.
I swear, I know why old people are grumpy. Get off my grass!!
Why am I settling my ex’s estate? I know for dd.
But every single member of his family wiped their hands of doing a single thing once they found out that they wouldn’t get one penny as he left no will and the laws in our state means that it goes to his only child.
Meantime bf and I spent all day Sunday doing paperwork for it.
Yes dd will end up better for it in the end but I’m sorry I’m bitter. We got divorced for a reason and here I am deal with his stuff again.
I told dd that she better put me in a GOOD nursing home if i ever needed it!!!
Dear health insurance company, if you are going to both approve and denie a procedure on the same date you really need to time stamp it so I know if it was approved then denied or denied and then approved!
You’re an idiot. Period.
