      hunger games volunteer GIF

    Ok, am I the only one who wants to know who is sharing new places by dm? 

       I see the above posts and I'm not sure if someone else already DMed the above posters already, and I'm not even sure if I'd be sharing all the correct places anyway. 

     I guess I'll just volunteer to do it,if that's ok with everyone? 

    And then you guys could share the places with other posters if you want.

    (Ugh my brain hurts)🤪

    Ps dm me if you want if know of other places, and I'll make a list to DM to people who are asking.

    Ps why are they (possibly) ruining this place?😭

    Thank you again for doing this.  It's a wonderful idea for anyone who has the information to share it with a DM.  But I'm not sure how to do that efficiently.  I guess it wouldn't be so bad to get a DM from more than one person.  And I wish I knew why this place has been chosen out of a lot of forums to have a red warning. I think we're really kind and caring diverse people.

    As an aficionado of the original Perry Mason TV series, I recognize Anne Whitfield from a favorite episode: The Case of the Crafty Kidnapper (with an appearance by Cloris Leachman too!) May Ms. Whitfield rest in peace.

    She really had an amazing life.  To hike the Dolomite Mountains of the Italian Alps to celebrate her 85th birthday was quite the feat.

    Yesterday was our 3yrs Anniversary. Cosmo came to me 3yrs ago!

     

    He is my first dog, and all though it’s been 3yrs I am still amazed how much he begs for food!

    Happy Anniversary to both of you! How fortunate you are to have each other.  He has the sweetest face and a very kind and caring person in his life.  All your sweet pets do.

    R.I.P. Bill Hayes. There was a time when, even if you didn't watch a particular soap opera, you had an awareness of who a show's stars were. Such was the case with Bill Hayes as Doug Williams on Days of Our Lives.

    Actor Bryan Cranston left the following tribute to Hayes in Deadline's comment section:

     

    That was lovely. Thank you for sharing.

    I went to see my Mom today because of the snow due in Chicago-land tomorrow afternoon. She looks weak and her skin is dry, but it’s the right tone and she’s 100% herself!!

    She said she felt so bad on Thursday she said “God just take me, I know Scarlett45 will look after P, I can go in peace.” But she’s very happy she did not die!!

    My mom consented to inpatient rehab after I told her if she didn’t she would be sitting on the curb because we weren’t carrying her in- it’s 8 stairs to her unit she must navigate safely. I left a message with the social worker and called her pcp to fill her in. 

    The hospital will keep her a few more days and they would handle locating a placement. 
    She asked did I pay M and did I put in the Costco order for my sister’s food and supplies like she normally does at the start of the month. 
    (No mommy I just didn’t pay M and my sister will starve to death😂😂

    She thinks UM (my bff’s retired firefighter uncle who carried her down the stairs) is good looking and she often forgets because she doesn’t see him often😂😂😂. I cannot think of UM that way. 
     

    My little Mommy is back and I’m so happy. A load off of my heart. I did take her tea, gum, lip balm, foot balm, her glasses and a few clothes. And shoes. I’m always after her to exfoliate because her skin is so dry and she was teasing me to leave her toes alone. She needs a pedicure after all this!! 

    I'm so happy for both of you. Wishing good health and peace to you and your family.  Plain and furry.

    Same questions.

    Trying to picture how this would even work for Renee. Mama posts her plexus promos and false health claims on SM. 15min later Renee "hops on mama's fb page" to post the same things??

    What is probably the truth is mama needed not just another name in her downline but also someone at home to do the majority of Jill's own plexus work.

    Mama is so busy traveling, starting a magazine, shopping for clothing for herself, decor for the barndo and all. I foresee Renee now doing most of Jill's plexus work so Gold leader mama can devote her time to leading team zoom mtgs and things that get mama more attention.

    Angry and SAD.

    Dave is as bad as Jill.

    He doesn't have a stable job, he appears to have no ambition, he beats his kids, he dips up first at meals so the children have less to share, he willingly goes on lots of stupid vacations with his wife, he eats out when he can, he willingly fathers children he has no intention of supporting, and he is OK that none of his children have a decent education or any skills to support themselves. He doesn't seem to be much of a headship in any sense of the word.

    I hope both David and Jill are SEVERELY miserable. They've done an excellent job of making sure their children are. 

     

     

    They are both reprehensible.

    Love this quote from McCallum's son about his mother's reaction to his death:

    After returning from the hospital to their apartment, I asked my mother if she was OK before she went to sleep,” added Peter McCallum. “Her answer was simply, ‘Yes. But I do wish we had had a chance to grow old together.’ She is 79, and dad just turned 90.  The honesty in that emotion shows how vibrant their beautiful relationship and daily lives were, and that somehow, even at 90, Daddy never grew old. “

    They were married 56 years.

    RIP

    Lovely.

    So I want to share a situation with you guys-

     

    I was making plans to celebrate my bday with friends and confirmed who would be able to come and made the reservation and then confirmed.
     

    Later that night my BFF (who’s making my bday cake) texted me and said that her daughter (my god baby who’s 8) wanted to know was my dinner adult only or was there room for an adult minus 10yrs. I said that my dinner was adults only but I was would love to celebrate with her, her Mom said that was okay they were fairly busy, and I said okay, I still wanted a painting (the child has been very into making paintings for people). The reply I got was “she doesn’t issue paintings to people who do not welcome her to her their birthday dinner.” I said “okay” and listed off other things I wanted for my birthday. 
     

    I fully understand why the child wants to come, but not every event is for children. Nor am I surprised that her mother is snippy (that was snippy no?), she takes that child EVERYWHERE, and it’s very much the stereotypical “single parent/only child you and me against the world”; she loves her child very much and is an attentive mother, but I think she leans on her daughter too much emotionally.(this a common issue in that situation) If the 8yrs old doesn’t want to paint for me for my bday that’s her prerogative- but that’s not making me change my mind! 

     

    I’m not sharing my birthday dinner with your child. If you don’t like it don’t come (she’s still coming and making the cake but I know she would prefer if I would allow her daughter to attend).

    Sweet Jesus. For clarity- I am not upset at the child, she’s being developmentally appropriate, but you know how I am about my “me time”. 

    This is your birthday and since your friend knows how you feel about your "me time" she should respect your choices.  You've tried to accommodate her child in a way that should have worked for both you and the child.  I admire your ability to set boundaries.  It helps all the people in your life to know what's needed and expected.  I hope your birthday is amazing!

    My mom and I had an amazing time at the lake front this weekend but not as amazing as Cosmo! (It was a dog friendly area) He was so happy! So many dogs, but he was exhausted before getting back in the car.9AA58CAC-1321-4725-80DF-EC0982B4F2E6.thumb.jpeg.27025609ce7a88c31babc9b2eaedaf33.jpeg

     

    Speaking of Cosmo, I’ve been researching stairs for him (for the car) and everything is so narrow although it says it’s for his weight limit  I found these on Amazon which are 19.2 and I think he will feel secure enough to climb those.

    She’s had more fun with that scooter in 2months than she’s had in two years. Best money I’ve spent in a long time. 

    She’s been so appreciative and excited to use it. I told her that she’s bought me tons of unnecessary things FAR past the age of 21, (so whatever) but more importantly I appreciated her being a good sport about using it and learning.(finally, I didn’t add the “finally” as I am not a disrespectful asshole.) As Grandfather gave her a hard time about EVERYTHING (she reminds me of him so much lately) so I can appreciate her effort. 

    It makes me so happy to see her happy!! The last few years have been so hard on her, losing loved ones, retirement, accepting she cannot take care of my sister any more and all the #MommyGuilt, her declining health. She’s far too extroverted to be stuck inside all the time (January/ February okay, but not all year). 
     

    Its also a weight off of me to know she has more joy in her life these days. 

    I'm so happy this is working out so well for your mom.  I know it's hard to get it right and this scooter has made a great difference in her mobility.  You are a wonderful daughter for all you do helping her navigate a new way of getting around safely and comfortably.  You are also an amazing pet mom.  Beautiful Cosmo and your equally beautiful cats are fortunate to have you.
