DAILY THREAD NO. 160

Jamie--you do quite well by your family. One day at a time.

Karen--I have been biting my lips since I was in middle school.I have a mouth guard I use when I sleep when I am active.

Spent the day trying to figure out details about my Aunt. She left a will, from 1995. *sigh* The nice folks from the Council on Aging finally found her lawyer--she had not left word with anyone about who it was. I have been trying to find some of her naval records, and some information about the woman she named as the trustee. In 1995.

*sigh*

I grinded my teeth too at one time. In my sleep.

I hope you all have a good day today.

Hugs, Karen...

I'm 58 too Lynnwood

I have a pepper sprout!!

I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend. I can't imagine the pain and all the other emotions you will be going through for awhile.

We have had two brothers take their life by their own hands. I learned this after growing up because I was just 4 or 5 when it all happened. Anyway there weren't any signs of illness or anything, know notes. Obviously my grandparents took it hard. It's been said my grandmother died of a broken heart, not a bad heart.

Friends and family had their eyes glued to my father (he was the 3rd son) for quite sometime after ward.

I have learned too that time does not heal wounds, you just get used to it.

Sincerly,
Handyandy

darn squirrels ate my first tulip bloom this week. Even after living in the same place over 30 years I've never had squirrel trouble before. I'm going to try the cayenne pepper, for sure!!!

I will try the pepper thanks.

Spring flowers all I get, after the leaves come on trees, too much shade for anything. Even solar panels. Although I did hear that there are panels that can now work in shade. Perhaps I will research this.

HandyAndy welcome to the forum. and thank you for your kinds words to all of us.

Peace

Awe Joyce, I know it is a difficult time. I hope you have many fond memories of your husband. I am glad you saw the robins. Here the robins often come in early. I don't know what there is for them to eat. But if I hear a red winged black bird, I know spring is here.

I hope both of our springs are just around the corner.

Have a good day...

Trina, I hope that the cayenne pepper works for you too. I know what you mean about the shade.

I missed Handyman some how. Welcome to the forum...

Hugs to all...

Karen...

hi everyone.

Hi back Jamie.

Mimosa trees are huge triggers for me, can not have them in the yard. Lucky for me, people in Somerdale, where I live do not care for them, I suppose because they are so messy.

I tried to raise primroses, I think they are the most beautiful spring flowers. Bursting with color. However, it is not in the cards. Between the moles, rabbits,chipmonks and ground hogs, and deer they don't get but a few seasons before they are gone in any part of the yard. I have tried, fox urine, humane hair.

I may try one more year if I have a little extra money soon. Then put the pepper. Although I don't have much hope.

Struggling with therapy. I am being given a long lead, because apparently I am able to handle things better, my insight is keener. I am seen as stronger enough work things out on my own,.

REALLY!? I don't agree. Seems I do not have a choice!

Something came up and he said "this is the first I am hearing about this" I replied. "I don't tell you everything that make me feel stupid". he replies, "why?" really? So I angrily said "honestly you need to ask?; there is so much crap to process and take about, there is only ONE hour a week, and BAM it is over like that.!" He had nothing to say about that.

Nice.

I really hate this.

Peace all
Trina

While the sun was out it was wonderfully warm again today. My daughter bought me a new pruning set and I took advantage of the temps and pruned back the catmint. The new growth was hidden under the skeletal remains of last years growth.

I cleaned up the scattered dead leaves and found more crocus blooming and another spring bulb (can't recall the name just now) is in bud. A few inches further over, the Spanish Blue bells are coming up, too!

Tomorrow is forecasted for rain. Will be a good day to haul out the sewing machines and get started on the slip covers.

I got brave today and examined the plastic covered books for any sign of bed bugs and, finding none, I released them from their encasements and filled my bookshelf once again! My books. My friends that I visit with in my times of solitude. Jean M. Auel, Ted Dekker, John Jakes, many others. I love these friends. They visit when I want them to, never comment on my housekeeping and are content to sit and wait for the next invitation. They inform me, entertain me, teach me.

I even have a few new friends that I plan to get aquainted with, outside on the patio this summer.
