Well you've probably heard the quote "he who dies with the most toys wins". Today while I was dropping the kids off at school, I saw another version of that, "he who died with the most toys - still died". After I explained that...

Orea15 In which case, it is both stupid and shallow. That said, I love my Mac and my expensive sewing machines and my car. I could go on. LOL

I'm mad at you. I really thought you had listened when I wrote you this time last year and asked for you to stop all this messy female stuff. I'm 52, dang it. I'm ready. And what do you do? You tease me. You stop for 6 months, and...

Orea15 The treatment involved endometrial biopsies to determine if the tissue cells are heading toward cancer. I was given progesterone to force a bleed for several months to clean me out. Followup biopsies taken to be sure all is well. I'm fine now, and it...

Orea15 That's a relief! One of my litters of foster kittens had a virus or something that hit them one by one, involving vomiting and diarrhea. The first one I rushed to the vet and by the time they saw him that afternoon, he was fine! So I hope that is what your...

I really don't want to bother you with this question anymore but I just need to get this out of my chest. If you notice lately I have been ranting about my partner here. We just had a big fight because lately I feel that he always...

Here it is once again National Craft Month--which hopefully means good sales at the craft stores and for me, it means a re-evaluating of the crafts I hope to get done this year. Sort of like a crafting New Years. I always start...

Orea15 The sweater is done! And it fits! And I may get to wear it a few times before the heat really sets in. :-D I've started a new pattern with a lighter cotton yarn called "Love Beads". It'll be a short sleeved sweater that I can use before the dead of winter....

You're in a relationship. It doesn't work out. You both made mistakes. You can think of one or two that are on you that are doozys. Ohhhhh the guilt. How do you forgive yourself and move past it?

Orea15 I know this sounds contradictory, but I think sometimes not doing the best you could, IS doing the best you could at that moment.

Orea15 If I had Googled it, I would have probably been suspicious. But I never had a high fever, nothing about 100.6. Some of the symptoms can seem like a urinary tract infection or IBS, both of which I have had. The twinges on the lower right were intermittent, not...

Orea15 Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was walking around with it ruptured for a couple of days. It's a long story as to why I didn't think it was that, it didn't present itself like a typical appendix case, but hopefully I've learned my lesson about self-diagnosis.

Orea15 If you make such an action, having considered carefully, try not to beat your self up about it later. All we can do is the best we can, and this is unfortunately not a perfect world. Sending prayers and blessings your way.

Orea15 That is always a problem. Or a consideration. I adopted a ginger boy some years ago who behaved impeccably for the first month, then started bullying one of my girls unmercifully. I mean, he found the "weak one" and wouldn't let up on her. I finally had to...
