Marie Coyle @Juliaacv Unfortunately, what your husband did was probably the smartest thing to do. Yes, oftentimes the remaining spouse is just tired out. It's very hard to overcome.

Some years back, I cut my finger terribly washing a sharp knife. I cut the tip of my left little finger about 3/4 of an inch off, it was (forgive me, not pleasant) just hanging there. Of course, at the time I lived about 10 miles...

Ok, so it works for some things, some of the time. I know several bills I pay online send texts as proof of payment. I have the option to opt out of those, but I choose to get them for my own protection, in case it's ever needed....

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck Most definitely. And toxic people are extremely hard to be around.

For the most part, we make our own pizzas here at home. My son likes to help, and he generally makes his part of the pizza (which is most of the pizza!) and I make mine with my preferred toppings. We both love onions and mushrooms...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck You are so right, it isn't pretty. It's garish and cheap looking, at least in my eyes. Even the ''ritzy'' places seem cheap in a way. I do not mind the thought of never going there again.

There are many reports that Americans are worried and are cutting back on everything they can--vacations, car upgrades, groceries, clothing, and the list goes on and on. Many are now purchasing used clothing rather than buying...

I've written about this mess before...for several months now, it's been a lot better, smoother, and no waits for meds to arrive at the pharmacy. Now, it appears we are back to square one again. I don't have to run around all...

Most of us here in the US have been in a horrible heat wave with extremely high heat indexes for a long time now. Now, we are to have 5 days of much milder temperatures. Don't be jealous, ok? It is currently 12:30 PM, and 69...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck You aren't going to win over believers through a post on mylot. People who want to win people over like that are more apt to see it happen through actions, rather than an online post.

My son has been in the hospital since Sunday, and I don’t think he will be getting out until possibly Monday. It’s 12 miles to the hospital from my house, and 12 miles back, so I am trying to just make one trip per day. Last night...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I had an aunt that did that after she and my uncle retired. They traveled all over the US and wrote diaries every day together. After he passed away, she took great solace in those diaries. Her two children have them now, and plan to pass them to...

I was reading discussions and came across one posted by @JudyEv., about her brother-in-law's visit. He spent the night with them, and was the last to wake up the next morning. She referred to the old saying of ''He was the cow's...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck Unfortunately, often large chain stores can get their products cheaper than the small ones, and in the end, it hurts them to the point that they can't make it.

We ended up with another stray dog after the incident with the two beagles. I put this fellow up on community page as "found" with no location and he wasn't claimed. He's very active and energetic and still a puppy. I estimate...

Marie Coyle I thought of that as well. I also had the dreaded thought that a ''new'' attendee could simply walk in for a service before it was locked, and then pull the gun out...it could happen, I suppose. Next up, metal detectors for every single school and church in...

Marie Coyle They have rules that might vary a bit, but it is OK as long as the rules are followed. This is the shortest version I found. The main thing being, that people can exit safely if necessary. AI Overview Fire departments require that all exit doors during a...

Marie Coyle I would imagine security for a wedding could be very stressful, as would a funeral. Many people who have a funeral to attend of a close family member, and live in a city, have several people stay behind in their home during the funeral service. Too many were...
