Woohoo, it's gone!

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 17 Apr 13

About six months ago I had a knot the size of a large marble at my wrist joint. Degenerative Joint Disease. Three weeks ago we were moving my mother in law into town and I looked down and noticed it was gone! I've been adding...

I'm Still Here

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 27 Feb 13

Things have been busy, that is a blessing. However, my husband hurt his shoulder here at work so we've had to slow down a bit and me help as much as possible. He was using a bottle jack while pressing a bearing in a hub on a Ford...

How do you use your Nuwave oven?

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 6 Feb 13

About a year ago I purchased a Nuwave oven. I'd wanted one for a while, and it was on sale at Christmas time. Also, if I applied for a store credit card I got an additional discount. So, I snagged it. Less fat, quicker cooking,...

In our best interest

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 6 Feb 13

I've discovered that perhaps, when it comes to utility companies, one should have more than just one family members name connected with it. My father in law passed at the end of December. When we first purchased our home, in...

Do you own a juicer?

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 5 Feb 13

I love my juicer. I'd wanted one for a long time. When I found one on sale for uner $100 I pounced on it. My husband accused me of trying to wear it out the first week, lol. I have a tendency to make a mess when using it, but I...

Back on the 4rth I cancelled my subscription with a dial up internet service. We had finally gotten away from dial up service a little while back. I didn't cancel right away as things got hectic and it wasn't at the top of my list...

Bone Cancer

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 25 Jan 13

A few years back, a lovely older Rottweiler showed up at our shop. She was very sweet. We took her in, of course I did. When it comes to animals I have an invisible sign that says, sucker. Okay, we all know it says pet lover....

Trouble Sleeping

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 25 Jan 13

Do you ever have trouble sleeping? Sometimes I do for normal reasons, such as having a lot on my mind. Sometimes my pets decide it's pounce on the momma time. Sometimes it's my husband's snoring. However, sometimes I just seem to...

Just called the police

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 24 Jan 13

Well, I went out to walk the dogs and heard metallic banging noises behind our shop. I sent my husband out with the other dog and he saw two people steeling metal from our property and the adjacent property. They had dogs with...

Labels and Dioramas

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 24 Jan 13

I had a dream that I was at a school and they were having a special presentation of dioramas which could be purchased. Each diorama was labeled and was creating in fancy paper bags like you would put presents in. You could see...

The Shadow Self

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 24 Jan 13

In a book I read, the shadow self is compared to a compost heap of emotional issues and past situations that we don't want to deal with or know how to deal with. Like the compost pile, if we don't turn it, it becomes stagnant and...

Time Passed, An Analogy

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 24 Jan 13

Time Passed An Analogy I once was a pure, refreshing, cool, clear river. I was living waters of sustenance and beauty. I danced over rocks and splashed about as the Finned-Ones played in my fluidity. Four-Leggeds frolicked at...

What a horrible thing to say

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 24 Jan 13

Yes, I know when you share your life on a venue such as this you open yourself up to negative comments. But it might be a good idea for someone to be aware of every conversation relative to the one they are responding too. And...

Four payments left

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 23 Jan 13

Woohoo! Only four more payments and a business loan will be paid off. Only about $600 owed. That means another $150 a month we get to keep. Doesn't seem like much however, we don't pay rent any more. We now own the business and...

Forgive and forget?

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 23 Jan 13

I've gone on and on about my birth father. And I've discussed the issues I'd faced with my father in law. My mother, that's a horse of another color. She is very much like my father in law was. Actually, worse. I gave her...

Feeling Better

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 23 Jan 13

I finally got some alone time last week. I was able to rant and rave, release the anger and frustration at my father in law whom passed a few weeks ago. I feel much better. See, I cared about him but he drove me up the wall, back...

I have been very busy. There used to be family photos here in my office. Some my father in law took with him after he retired. Some he removed due to divorce. I wanted family photos back in my office, especially since he has...

Scary

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 9 Jan 13

I have family members that work with, or at the local hospitals. There are 3 within 15 minutes of each other. And for the most part, the same doctors are affiliated with each. One just bought another out. The truth of the matter...

Mixed Emotions

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 9 Jan 13

Yes, I know it's normal to go through a range of emotions after the loss of someone. But because the person I knew and the person his friends knew are two different people I'm really confused, which was the true person? The...

Need a few days please

Carolyn63 @Carolyn63 (1403) • United States 31 Dec 12

My father in law passed Friday morning. In spite of the fact that he was in ICU and several doctors were tending him, it was a surprise. We had in fact intended on moving him to another hospital that morning. But the nurse called...
