patgalca @JudyEv I already have it in my plans to move into my daughter's house when she has children. She won't be able to handle it. They have built a suite over their garage and hopefully eventually an in-law suite in their rather large basement.

I really do, but they are very addicting for me, especially with real butter, not margarine. Sometimes, that suffices me, just a few crackers, perhaps with some tasty extra sharp cheddar or swiss. What do you like with your...

patgalca I used to. I prefer peanut butter. I usually only the saltines out when my stomach is bothering me, then I eat them plain.

Sometime before Christmas, we did some brick-paving for a couple. The husband had had a motor-cycle accident and was six weeks in hospital. The good news is that he is now walking a little but facing more operations on his...

patgalca I've been house bound with fibromyalgia since I was 33. When I turned 50 I decided it was time to start living. Unfortunately there are consequences.

patgalca Having been housebound for 26 years with fibromyalgia, when I turned 50 I decided enough was enough. I had to do SOMETHING to enjoy life. All these things I've been doing do not give me any pain. Except.... well, I did lots of things in St. Lucia a couple of...

For those who don't know, I began intermittent fasting in April. Though I started at 10 hours the first night, 12 hours the second, 14 hours the next two nights, and then I hit the 16 hours recommended for the 8/16 fasting...

patgalca I have been home from Saint Lucia for one week. With my health issues, the salty air and heat work wonders for my pain. I wasn't hurting and was able to kayak, paddle board, ziplining, walk the full beach twice a day... No pain, and no sinus or cold like...

patgalca @TheHorse I found them more bossy, more demanding. Even someone who wasn't my immediate superior reported me to HR because I wouldn't drop everything to do her work.

patgalca I have also worked for both men and women bosses. I think it is an individual basis. I do find women bosses have been harder to work for (but not for the reasons you cited). Most male bosses I worked for were great, and empathetic, and supportive. However, I...

patgalca @JudyEv I have another passion but it would never "fly". If I could go around the world doing all the zip lines for a tv travel show, that would be a dream. There used to be a show that went all around the world to all the different water parks. It didn't...

patgalca @JudyEv The very first story I wrote is saved chapter by chapter on 3 1/2" floppies. Instead of using the adapter (I have one) and trying to merge all the chapters on a novel which is too long and needs major editing, I will have to re-type it editing as I...
