Mine used to be thick but now it's become fine. I lose a lot, do you?
What are you doing today?

I get that, but we are all getting older, so are many pets. What could be more special from giving an animal a home after they have lost their family. I am at the point I realize I should should not get a puppy but there are so many pets that owners have passed or been placed into care. Do they not deserve a home and love in their golden years. Yes they do, they may only have a few years left but deserve to be happy and loved. Those will be the ones I seek out.

I Had a wonderful day today. My daughter and granddaughter and son-in-law came over to spend time with me and my hubby. They brought us our favorite dinner and desserts. My daughter even brought pictures she had from the past. These are my 2 grandsons young and now. In the first one, the tallest was the oldest boy in the other one the tallest boy is the youngest.
Okay I will admit the most embarrassing thing. My DIL completed cosmetogy school 6 months ago. She is now working in her field. I thnk she is afraid to take on my hair. I am her MIL I think she feels if I don't like it I will be mad. Truth is I have never been mad with hair sylist. They have always done the best they could with what I have asked for. After all, it is just hair it will grow back or I can change the color. I think she is more afraid because my hair is falling out and thinning. What do you think? I am thinking I should go to someone else so she does not have the pressure with her MIL?Thanks Star.. yes they do a fantastic job... even the trainees are always impressed at what the last trainee did..last time when I was getting my hi-lights done.. 2 other trainees ( there's anything up to a dozen working at the same time ).. came up to me and said they'd driven into the car park just as I'd got out of my car and was admiring my hair colour as I walked away from them , even before it was done again..
I hear you @Blessed . I would do the same if I thought I could. But I have a terminal illness and it is very difficult taking care of myself with no help let alone taking care of pets. I'm doing the best I can right now but not knowing how long I have and most likely not very long is why I can't do it any more. I would have no one to give the pet to. In my eyes this is only fair to a pet. I worry so much about my present pets and will be looking for someone to care for them.

200 to 250 dollars?
I think there is an option to get a maintenance package, but the realtor thinks just hiring handyman services one-off would be good enough. The inspection is tomorrow so I will get to look at the apartment again along with the inspector person and realtor, I will try to stay alert to any maintenance concerns that come up.
It is a condo in a gated "active 55+" community, so the only maintenance I'd need to take care of would be if it was something inside the apartment. But there is a hefty HOA fee every month, so in a way I'll be paying for building maintenance all the time.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. I will pray that is a slow moving illness and you will be with us for many years. You might look into being a foster pet parent. You would not have to worry about the pet if anything happens and the foster orginization would cover the cost for food and medical care. The only thing you would have to provide it the love, I think you have plenty of that!!
Yes, I could never do that on a regular basis, I did have it done when my son got married 4 years ago. That will be the last time. Other than that I have always colored my hair at home, $7 to 10 box. When covid came I just cut it myself. HAHA!

yes if I were in your shoes, I;d be disappointed that my qualified family member won't do my hair.. ( my step sister incidentally is a hairdresser , and has never done my hair, my stepbrother is a motor mechanic and never fixed my car) but yes take the pressure off her and have it seen by someone outside the family , is a good idea..
Well that makes sense but I had hoped they might take care or the heating and air, also the plumbing if it is a high rise where other aparments behaviors might affect the whole building. Since you do have HOA a lot of those issues should be covered more since it is hefty. Do they give you written list of what will be covered? I am not trying to be nosy, I just want to learn what I should ask about if I ever need to move into that type of community.

I have never paid more than 20 for my hair to be done, and that price was decades ago when I was younger. Now days it’s 17 dollars so 20 with tip. I go to least expensive place possible. I am shocked.
. Plus I’ve never had a manicure or pedicure. Shocked, just shocked.
Thanks, I am not worried about it at all. I think she is scared, I get that. I am more than willing to pay her normal fees, it is not about free service. I would rather pay to help the family than a stranger. Does that make sense?

Ours are still done that way.. g'night..
I know it can be shocking. My DIL just completed school and it is quite expensive. Also, if they are talented they have the right to charge a higher price. This is what they do for a living.I have never paid more than 20 for my hair to be done, and that price was decades ago when I was younger. Now days it’s 17 dollars so 20 with tip.

Shocked, just shocked.
I also go to the least expensive place, which is my bathroom with a box of color and a good pair of scissors LOL. The cuts started with covid, the colors I have always done at home. Mind you the color was just when I started to go gray so I covered with a light brown, my natural color. Now I am ready to be gray/silver and not worry about it.
Thank you for your ideas. I no longer have the mental or physical energy for that anymore. Peace and love to you
.I am sorry to hear that but know you are loved and appreciated by all who know you in the real world and here in our digital world. I am heartbroken that you are suffering so.Thank you for your ideas. I no longer have the mental or physical energy for that anymore. Peace and love to you
If I was nearby I would come and spend time with you. We would have fun looking at your pictures, cooking together, taking a little walk, shopping trip, out for ice cream and your favorite foods. Watching your favorite movies, dancing around the living room, just a couple of girls being crazy. I would take you somewhere that had little puppies, and make you lie down and be covered with puppy breath and kisses. At least, that is what I hope for if I was in your shoes.
I'm here for you sweet lady,

But this is the peak experience of ultimate retirement joy, Cinnamon! Don't you just love it?
I'm glad you are asking all these questions because I didn't even think of them. In the paperwork I did today there was a request for the condo HOA info. They have (I think) 10 days to get that to me, then I have (I think) two weeks to read it all and decide if I want to back out of the purchase if I don't like something.
But I never even thought about the plumbing pipes (tho I did run each faucet and flush the toilet). I'm pretty sure I'm responsible for the furnace. And I'm sure I'm responsible for the electric bill because I remember the realtor saying the only utility bills I would have were electric and phone (HOA provides water, sewer, trash, cable tv, and high speed internet).
I don't know where the air conditioning comes from, I think it is on the roof of the building, I don't know whether the equipment is separate for each apartment, it was warm the day I looked at the apartment and I turned the thermostat down to check how noisy it might be and the furnace fan was very quiet but the air coming out of the vent was super cold (nice). I'm guessing the building provides the hot water, there is so much I don't know! Oh deary me.

Shopping at Costco (it’s next to the hospital) for a package of cheese, nut/fruit snacks, and some sweet bread. People were crazed. I did not think I’d get out alive.
Very sorry you have to go through getting another pacemaker.
We'll be thinking of you, on Thursday.
But gosh, more importantly
....What a great accomplishment that was, to rise to the challenges of a busy grocery store, and to win possession of sweet snacks, and to make a clean get-away!
