    Assisting veterans at the VA

    A co-worker told me her husband had been exposed to agent orange. I don’t remember all the details but I do remember her being really upset because she said it was affecting their daughter.

    Assisting veterans at the VA

    Back home my brother had a couple friends that were fellow Vets that drove a shuttle van down to the VA in the cities. They would stop at little towns along the way picking up other Vets. They had plenty of stories and it sounded like they really enjoyed the trips and meeting people. My husband...

    Introvert or senior behavior

    Welcome! You are not alone. More and more I find I don’t like people and are tired of pretending. So being home is where I find peace.

    Motto and vow of introverts

    Chitchat is all I want nowadays. Don’t trust anyone with anything more. Made a huge mistake with a group of women in a craft group.

    Why get remarried?

    As I remember our husbands passed away about the same time. I have zero interest in being with anyone else. He was my best friend and it’s lonely without him. He kept telling me I need to be tough. I’m working on that. 😊

    A Popular Toy You Had

    I had a Chatty Cathy too. First day I got her I fell on driveway and broke the torso. My dad duct taped her back together and said Good as New. 😂

    Accidentally locked yourself out

    Now that I’m by myself I always strap my Fanny pack on. Even to take garbage out or weed my garden. I keep telling myself to just hide a key outside but not comfortable. Hubby locked himself out one time and had to call a locksmith. He was thinking of breaking a basement window.

    The Bogeyman will get you if you don't watch out

    I remember hearing whispers from the adults when I was young about Ed Gein. To me he was the boogeyman. Now they have a series on him. The trailers are enough for me. Nope Nope Nope

    Anybody got any cool winter stories

    Living around Lake Superior I’ve gotten caught up in some cold and stormy weather. However the worst storms were living in North Dakota. The winds are strong and everything was flat.
