I think those Judgment House-type things that some churches put on around Halloween sell those shirts

Catching up a bit...the joys of being an accountant at month end. Sending hugs, prayers, and good thoughts to @lookeyloo and Sweet Son today. I'm going to go ahead and do my Happy Sunday now, since I don't know if I'll be back on later. Tomorrow is our first wedding anniversary. A remarriage for both of us, and our previous marriages were...not good. So we're very aware of what we have in each other.

I need an angry emoji... STFU, Jill. So theorectically (since I don't live any where near your judgmental ass) you see me at a store with my two grandchildren. I am not hopped up on Plexus, I wear pants/shorts, have a (tiny) visible tattoo, hate makeup, and rock my natural (as in what God gave me, because God doesn't make mistakes. SMILE ) hair instead of looking like a two-bit whore. You're going to immediately assume that my grandchildren don't have parents? They do. You're going to assume I'm "lost"? Honey, I know Jesus...well enough to know there is nothing Christlike about you. Take several seats.

"Don't confuse the will of the majority with the will of God"...one of her decor items That means your will too, Jill.

Thanks to everyone who put good thoughts and juju out there...my surgical consult is scheduled for mid-October. At least I feel like the ball is teetering on the edge & ready to roll now.

First off...I appreciate your big word! Four of them are, one is growing on the outer wall. Three of them are pendunculated (growing on a stalk...and how's that for a word?), including the big 'un. They can be painful, heavy, and there's other fun that goes along with them. They said I'm 4ish months "pregnant" at this point. I've been infertile for 20 years and am a grandmother now, so as far as I'm concerned just yank it. I'm trying to be patient, because I know while this is a PITA for me, there are women facing far worse issues. I just know I'll have to wait a few weeks to get in for the consultation, then a while longer for any actual procedure. I'm an accountant, so there are calendar restraints for me to work around. I'll be fine, I'll just feel better when there is a plan in place. I'd like to get the ball rolling. Also, thanks everyone for their kind words! 🙂 @ginger90 I'm sorry. I hope there are answers soon.

Thanks for the offer...I love cake! My mom and I call the bolded "having a Shirley" from Terms of Endearment when she has the come-apart at the nurse's desk. My mom lives in a different state from me, but she has offered to road-trip in order to have a Shirley on my behalf. We're not to that point yet. I just don't feel great, an answer is on the horizon, and no one is calling me.

I don't usually check in on the weekends, so I missed the Sunday part. Here's my belated: it was a gorgeous day, Mr Turquoise made lunch, and we did little else except walk the dog and take a little drive. It was so nice! Now, I'm going to vent. LOL. I've had fibroids for several years, doctor told me to wait a bit because insurance wouldn't do anything yet. OK, fine. Started having more symptoms in late winter, get an appointment for spring. Said appointment canceled because COVID. I finally got in a couple weeks ago. They run an ultrasound, I am now up to 5, with the largest baseball sized (sorry if TMI). Now we're ready to move. Surgical referral. After a few days I inquire how long it takes. Give it a week. Fine. Gave it 8 days to be nice. Contact nurse back. She contacts doctor directly. Doctor looks at ultrasound report, decides I need to see the doctor who specializes in fibroids. I was referred by the referral Friday afternoon. Waiting. I'm normally a very patient person, but my rarely-seen Irish temper is starting to warm up. Just frustrated. Thanks for "listening".

I love this typo. How apt for such a full-of-it-woman. That is all. 🙂

My paternal grandparents had 14 kids. Not fundy, devout Catholic. They had 32 grandchildren. My grandpa genuinely liked having family around, but my grandmother didn't "have a heart" for children and only had such a large family because devout Catholic. I *think* she may have been proud to rattle off numbers, but all she could have told you about me was my first name, and which one of the 14 I belonged to. I may "only" have two grandchildren myself, but I know all about them, and they will never have any doubt they matter to me. I hope the other grandparents are more involved.

Granted I am a product minimalist, but I never considered I should be paying extra attention to my shins.

Maybe ol' Jere will leave it alone since it says "King Jeremy the wicked..." He wouldn't want that association.

Years ago, I read a book on Ethel Kennedy where a friend was quoted as saying Ethel was determined to be "more Kennedy than thou." I can see Anna being that way about the Duggars. But, that and fertility are all the two have in common. Also, Josh is no Bobby.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump I like to press wildflowers I dress in women's clothing, and hang around in bars... Was I the only one singing this as he talked about dressing for the occasion?

I don't have a moral objection to the man bun...to each his own...but his whole outfit is hilarious to me because I live in Nashville. The hipsters wear the skinny jeans and perhaps a man bun. The country wannabees wear the boots (NEVER tucked in) and the buckle. And never shall the two meet, until Aunt Cade. LOL

Punchable Aunt Cade...man bun and skinny jeans tucked into boots. Bless his heart.

In case anyone needs a Monday laugh... My grandson tans beautifully, no thanks to me (Irish descent here). His other grandparents have a pool. and he is a little fish. Since there isn't much to do this summer, he has been swimming there a lot and is so dark. My mom was commenting on his tan this weekend and he said, "Yeah, but my butt is still white!" #SayingsofTurquoise'sGrandson

In that top picture, Jinger looks very pretty and utterly vacant. Also, for a post that is supposed to be about her, the pic is all about Jeremy. Sounds about right. My ex, whom I will call Burnt Sienna since he has no right to share in my beautiful name, was famous for this. To others, he would tell people how amazing I was and how lucky he was. By ourselves, he would tell me all the other people who were more appealing than I'd ever be. If he kept me down, he could keep a hold on me. I hope that's not the case here, but it smells.

I *think* I'm a couple years younger than Meri, but amen to the filters. I have taken selfies, although mainly with my grandchildren. I want the memories, not some weird version of my face.

I don't know if this is an exact "when", but back in my middle school days (mid 80s), you started using * to denote multiplication in algebra. The reason was so you didn't mix up the multiplication x with the x in 3x*4y, etc.

In the picture where they're holding their bouquets down you can see that minty color around her neckline as well. My guess is Jill made her wear a shirt underneath her dress because Godly modesty...

If Chase's girlfriend is truly due in August, he wouldn't want to leave because she could go anytime. Plus. Nashville is seeing a surge in cases right now. Too many people who want to come & party & ignore the mask mandate. Not a good spot to come to if you have a pregnant girlfriend.

Ramsey's headquarters are in a wealthy suburb south of Nashville. He recently made the news because a former employee is suing him. She alleges she went to HR to request FMLA paperwork for her pregnancy, and was later fired for being pregnant and not married to her partner. That this action violated his "righteous living" policy. Article didn't say if this policy is discussed/signed off on by employee at the time of employment. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/williamson/2020/07/21/ramsey-solutions-lawsuit-caitlin-oconnor-franklin-tn/5482489002/

A FB acquaintance posted a YouTube from Gabby yesterday (I didn't listen to it, can't tell you how it was), and it made me realize we have heard nothing about Punchable Aunt Cade in quite a little while...

I see Felicity is at the "say cheese face" age. My grandson came out of it about a year or so ago. LOL
