We have a group home in my neighborhood for people with mental health issues. One of the men walks up to the busy corner with his sign begging for money. He lives in a house like mine.

Does yogurt actually help constipation? I’ve read yes and no.

I try to look back at my parents and grandparents to see how they navigated growing old. See if I can pull any wisdom from them. My folks lived 2-1/2 hours away and hid so much from me. Or was I so busy with my own life that I didn’t look very hard? I do remember my dad repeating that quote...

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.

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...

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.

Wow! This is beautiful and sad. I’ve listened to it several times. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

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.

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. 😊

Mrs. Robinson my heart goes out to you. My husband passed the end of 2024. Take your time with everything. No right way or wrong way. It’s a hard journey but you can do it. 🥰 One step at a time.

Mulched and bagged leaves for last time. Ran lawn mower dry and put away. Snow blower doesn’t seem that hard to use just a matter of doing it. New furnace filter. Truck had oil change. All my wintering over plants are downstairs under grow lights. Sprinklers blown out. Picked up water softener...

My daughter bought a Friendship Lamp for herself and me. Every morning we tap the light to say good morning. (Basically to check on me) She uses red, purple colors and I use blues and greens.

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. 😂

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.

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
