I just came home from the thrift store with an LL Bean puffer jacket that I got for only $25, it's a men's style and fits a little big but ... $25🤷‍♀️
When I was checking it out before laundering it I discovered OMG it's DOWN🪶

I bought a new winter jacket at the end of last Winter on Amazon. Very reasonable.

Good job, Cwillie and Nacy!

We had a huge drug bust in my area, the thing that shocks me is the ages of people now, buying , selling, distributing hard Street drugs.

I guess I don't get out much, but I thought people my age are past that.
I am shocked at the last few years of people my age and younger that have died of overdose, and now this.

What a sad world.

My dH had the best checkup at his doctor and came out with the health summary.
Looks good!
He is compliant now with B/P med Atenolol. His Smartwatch reminds him.
It took a year just to decide to take it, then another year on 1/2 tablet.
Now only one tablet every morning.

I remember when I was a little girl, it wasn't unusual for a grandmother to move in with her adult children. From the outside as a child, it looked like things where going smooth. Thinking back I think they were relatively smooth.

Now people are living so much older it's not so. I'm also wondering if years of BP meds and cholesterol meds is making older people meaner . Vascularly it's like there just on the edge of needing to be diagnosed but not server enough to get diagnosed and they are just living miserable for years, making it harder for people to deal with them .

I did learn today that its the parietal lobe in the brain that is often effected by dementia, which causes the cold feeling older people get.

It also effects the touch sensory, and nerves. Which is why mom is so sensitive to anything remotely uncomfortable.

I swear she is like that old story the princess and the pea. If there was one pea under a stack of mattress she would feel it.

If this is true, I like to hear things many times over, from other sources before I share information. But very interesting, to me

I'm getting tired of the ever increasing sh!tification of communication technology and the internet. Sis is locked out of her hotmail/outlook account because he iphone app is out of date. Our municipality's page on facebook is only public for the top 3 or 4 posts, then you must log in to view. Dodging ads on youtube has become a never ending game of wack-a-mole.

This weekend is a huge Colorfest in my area,, crafts, yard sales, you name it. The yard sales began Wed, and today I went with a friend and her DD, looking for a few things for my baby GS. What a haul, my entire truck was full of toys and bouncers and you name it! And the DD actually bought a ton of stuff for my GS she said he would love. Now I just have to clean it, but alot was NEW in the boxes and the prices were great. I got stuff for my DDs house and stuff for mine for when they visit ( weekly) or he stays over. But i am exhausted!

I'm having fruit fly issues, had them before at times but never were I can't get rid of them, and never this bad.

I'll be scrubbing my kitchen all day , see if that helps.

Suggestions welcomed 😉

I'm thinking when I adopt 15 plants for someone, I brought them in

If they are coming from the plants they will be fungus gnats, not fruit flies.

That's true, anyways they are tiny and all over my sick and drain , but actually not on my bananas or apples on the table.

I've got the burners of my gas stove soaking in bleach in the sink. And scrubbing the whole area.

Will see what happens next.

I’d also get rid of those plants , they are the source of the problem. The eggs will hatch and just bring more bugs.

Nice, ugh some are very pretty, actually I just brought my own plants indoor plants back inside . So could be my own fault to.

Try putting bowls of vinegar with alittle dishwashing soap in it . It works for fruit flies anyway . They get attracted to it and get stuck in the liquid.

That's a good idea, I spray some of my outdoor plants with vinegar and dish soap and water, I'll do that too.

Hm, drain flies are another kind of annoyance. For that keep your drains covered and maybe try one of those enzyme drain cleaners

Nacy I second what way said - little bowls of vinegar. I found they prefer white dishes. If they are fruit flies, that will get rid if them over a few days to a week or so. I believe fruit flies can come in on your groceries.

I hear you about the pipe replacement. One year they replaced pipes in front of the house and before they had finished that also behind the house in the lane. It was noise pollution. I couldn't get away from it anywhere. At the same time the reno guys were removing the stucco from the side of the house before putting on vinyl siding. Arrrgh!!!! It was awful and very dusty.

That's a good idea I'll leave little bowls of vinegar in the kitchen! That's a great idea. There is one corner that I'm not having the energy to clean right now. So I'll set one near there.

I think I found the culprit. In NYS we don't use disposable plastic bags, so I have a crate of reusable bags, next to my crate of potatoes. Well 👍 found what I suspect was once a potato in the bottom of my reusable supermarket bags.

Think it's going to be a bit before I can get them all out, but I did get an awful lot of cleaning done. 😆

Unexpected “friend” turned against me. I’m feeling upset and shocked; confused why the “friend” did this. I wonder what they’re trying to get out of behaving that way. I feel like a scapegoat. Maybe that’s what they’re trying to do.

hereiam-----------did you ASK them?
If you asked them "Why have you given up our friendship" and they haven't the courtesy to reply to you, then really it isn't worth a single second of your thought.

Perhaps you talked about politics?

Margaretken, I was actually going to say that, about politics, it's a very difficult time, specially if 2 friends are on opposite sides. With many strong feelings on each side
