lookeyloo

I'm sure...but, she spelled it that way too.

Stint...

I think you are onto something. I am Very Old now, but when I got married the first time we moved about an hour away from my family. I lived at home with parents and two brothers before then. I was very homesick and missed everyone even though I was with the new husband who I loved and wanted to be with. It took a little time. Because of the back then times, it wasn't all that easy just to go back. We did, but not all the time.

Eggs in metro Atlanta Kroger $3.99. The place for the $2.99 was empty. I like pasture raised and they are more expensive

All I can speak to is our location and that Mr lookeyloo is highly susceptible to upper respiratory things and he hasn't been sick at all in the last year. So he didn't catch anything there or anyplace else. I don't usually get colds or things like that. Can't remember the last time I had one.

The thyroid issue is real. Also lack of hormones. Also, age. I'm working hard to stay the same. Have you considered Orange Theory? Our Medicare advantage paid for it for last year, now we have to pay, but, it is really solo exercising and no more than 15 on the floor and 15 on the treadmills. My strength classes are in the middle of the day and usually sparsely attended. I have to wear ear plugs because the music is so loud and I am always the oldest one there, but, I don't care. I work at my own pace and there are always workarounds to all the exercises, including standing in place checking my phone! No one cares.

It will probably never happen "out loud" but there is the very slim possibility that with all of Jinger's evolution of thinking she will start to question Macarthur's beliefs. If she says it "out loud", Jeremy, who is better at it than she is, will never let up. So, in her head there could be thoughts. Who knows.

I have one granddaughter and that is my ongoing advice to her. She is in college and has a plan. I keep reminding her. That, and "use sunscreen". I am old and in my day the plan was to marry someone who could support me. I did. then he left me and I had to scramble. Big lesson. I was able to go to college for the first time and get a graduate degree and support myself. Ex supported the kids. When I married Mr lookeyloo it had nothing to do with him supporting or "taking care" of me in that financial way.

Funny topic. Mr lookeyloo early on wrote me a love letter of sorts. I couldn't read it!

Maybe Jeremy has helped her or she has tried to educate herself

I have to report that I go to Orange Theory twice a week for the strength class. Last year it was covered by our Medicare advantage plan. This year it isn't but Orange Theory now has a senior rate so makes it possible. Well, when I started I couldn't do all the exercises as described. I still can't. They give lots of options. Sometimes things are beyond me so I do what I do. Tuesday was lower body and there were 3 sets of 12 squats with weights, sitting on the bench and getting up. I didn't used to be able to get all the way down. I did this time. then there were 3 sets of twelve lunges on each side. All went well. Until I tried to get out of bed on Wednesday! Oy! Moving helps, sitting stiffens. But, today all is back to normal and I'm proud of myself for at least being able to do it. I just turned 81 and i am not a pinup to be sure, but, I am glad I can at least keep moving.

I can read and write cursive and also drive a stick shift. Mr lookeyloo had a truck with a stick and of course I had to learn. Next truck also had a stick and I drove that too. Then he graduated to an SUV with automatic. About letters, my father served in Italy in WWII. He wrote very beautiful long letters to my mother. She wrote back whining about what she didn't have. I have those letters. Her handwriting is lovely. His isn't. Hard to decipher. He wasn't the man in the letters when he came back. War is hell.

True story. I worked with a woman who had a daughter. Her daughter married a man with the last name of Alexander. They had a daughter. And sure enough, they named her...Brandy Alexander. Brandy Alexander grew up in the deep south of a devout Christian family, and is a lesbian and in the military. Of course many of you know that Sweet Son was gay and I am totally a hundred percent on board with all of it. But to these people, well...

See? Not everyone did/does/will. And anyone on this forum that doesn't, well probably won't say. Probably lots out there that don't like any one of our names or we don't like theirs! Point is, very subjective and can't and shouldn't try to please everyone.

Well, ya know, names are personal. I named my first born Nathan after my grandpa. I heard so many comments about "eww, what a name for a baby, why did you do that to the poor fellow". Seriously? He is a grown up man now and still loves his name. Never had a nickname. Someone will always associate a name of someone else with someone they didn't like etc. If that were the determining factor I guess we could put names out to the universe and wait for everyone to say "good" or "eww". And for those of you going "eww" over the name we chose for him, someone else is going "eww" for your name or what you named your children. And so it goes.
