Saturday and Sunday R's mom took the kids shopping for things to wear for our niece's wedding. Dearra didn't want to go Saturday, because she already has a dress. Her grandmother wasn't happy because it was "black", but I told her...

cotruelove I know I would have lost one week out of every four had I given in and since I was raised on tranquilizers, they would never give me anything stronger than Ibupofen. I am sure the essential tremors also had a lot to do with the pain but back then they didn't...

I live in housing for seniors and disabled. A fire erupted in one of the apartments during the middle of the night. We had to be evacuated. I was in a sound sleep like most of the other residents. There were sirens from all over...

cotruelove FYI, I looked up emergency preparedness classes and found the Red Cross has a program and so do several others. You might want to consult them first since they do provide first aid classes and CPR certification. Might not be free but it could be a start to...

cotruelove You might want to check with the Office of Emergency Preparedness and see if they still have their program and if it is active for your area. IF it is, they could be helpful in setting it up for you or letting you know where and when they will have the next...

Yesterday I took a short lunch and left a little early. I had a meeting with Cary's karate teacher, and I wanted him to have a little time to eat and to change, because he had a karate class right afterward. I got to the teen...

cotruelove I have total faith in you, you'll handle it. My kids after the first couple times I made corrections in the actions of others, started making sure mom wasn't put on the spot again. don't think they like the outcome either in embarrassment to...

I guess that the next smartphone I get will have to have more memory. If nothing else, it will need more memory so that after I install the darn Facebook app, there is room for anything else. Most of the android...

cotruelove that doesn't surprise me. When I talked to my husband after posting this he said I wasn't using the app, I was doing it from the web instead for exactly the reason you stated. Tells you how much I know about the storage the app eats....

cotruelove FYI and anyone else reading this, the tubes of hairball med they buy is nothing more than hydrogenated mineral oil with a little flavoring to help the animal accept the mineral oil easier. I've never had any problem with mixing it with their food.

In TV we find ads about so many medicines and drugs, like pain reliever tablets, cream and spray; cough syrups, lozens, digestives, and antacids etc. One says eat as much as you like and then take this digestive or antacid;...

cotruelove I'm sorry to hear that pharmaceutical companies are dumping their rejected products in places like India, but not surprising. Sadly, it proves the companies are not concerned about people. just profits. Hubby still has more tests scheduled and so far has...

cotruelove Unfortunately, my hubby's past experiences say little for what it can be like today. With the current economy, I'm sure the cruise lines, like everyone have been effected in a negative way. I've read some of the reviews on the net and so has hubby, and he says...

cotruelove I'm just now getting back online, and from what I remember (hubby is asleep) Norwegian is one of the better cruise lines. You should complain, but not sure Norwegian is responsible for the tour director, some of them are independent travel agents.

I complained when they made Mamma Mia into a movie that, as fun as it was, the singing was just not that good. Why, oh why do they have to put big stars into movie musicals instead of people who can actually sing? I love Pierce...

cotruelove Actually, the music from Phantom was already so popular that the investors in it figured it would draw people no matter what. Truth is, Les Miserables music is not as popular as Phantom was at the time. It is a delicate balance with the movie industry as to...

cotruelove The sad reality that no one wants to face is your friends may be in the same boat with relative's homes one day where even to sell the property, they would have to clean it up. I had to go through it when my mom gave me the home she lived in, and she was a...

cotruelove Graptopetalum, you are welcome to your viewpoint, but I sleep quite well at night. And I don't have to call people names either because they don't see things "MY" way. Good luck to you, but I doubt you want to respond to any of my discussions...

cotruelove I find it interesting Graptopetalum that you believe all Christian religions call Mohammed a false prophet. I was raised in the Methodist church in the southern part of America and was taught tolerance of the Muslim religion and that a great deal of what...

cotruelove I wish I could have houseplants but alas, another problem for allergies is mold and mildew and plant soil seems to abound in them. I had an air plant a few years ago, and it got scale on it, and that ended its life. So, I don't even try to maintain houseplants...

cotruelove Thanks for your response. Wow, I'm impressed with all the dedication you had for using your handcrafts to make money. I know the older I get the more handcrafts I do. I know I need to design a remote control holder and make it up just for myself. Tired of that...
