I have one of those very stools in our RV and TBH I never felt fully secure using it. After reading about your experience I'll ditch it and replace it with the kind that doesn't fold.

I've had a couple of these since my kids were young and they're still in perfect condition. Very useful for me to get into upper cabinets, and also for visiting children who can't quite reach bathroom sinks.

I'm so sorry you were injured, Hols, and hope you're fully mended soon. (Maybe you can trade the ex: he fixes the cabinet, you pony up his passport that you spent two days hunting down...)

Star.. believe it or not the rigid stool in your pic is the one I've been using for years.. but it's being used in the barn for something else.. and I bought that folding one to replace it, simply because it could fold flat and be out of the way. I've had it probably 3 years or more.. but there was no warning it was going to snap, that's the real concern.

As for getting the O/H over .. I wish. I tried that a few days ago when he asked for several other things to be sent to him last week . My friend who knows him was outraged on my behalf.. because as she said , he's only 20 minutes away, why can't he just come and get the stuff?.. Anyway when he asked me to package it all up and send it, it was right in the middle of the postal strike, so I said that I didn't trust sending anything , and if he could come and collect it, would he also do a little job for me on my computer , which I can't do because he has the password.. for the app I need fixing.. but NO... was the answer!!..so now it's going to cost me a pretty penny to have a new door and the frame fixed ..

what are you using now ?...
Click to expand...
I am using a back-up collection of laptop parts.....o_O
which is very difficult for me to use.:(
I do need to get a new laptop, asap.

It takes several attempts and corrections, to get each one sentence typed, with this back-up keyboard and all of the malfunctions!

Very exhausting to use this temporary set-up, but I am feeling very isolated, and desperate to reconnect with you and everyone else here at SF, and to do things here, that are fun and normal for me to do.

So I will struggle with using this back-up laptop set-up, a little bit, this evening.

THANKS, to ALL of you, :love:

for liking my posts, that you did on this thread, to help me to cope with feeling depressed, and more isolated than usual, during these 'holiday weeks' that are stressful even without having a laptop breakdown.:confused:
 
I have not been able to read all of the posts I have missed in the past week....
but i HAVE been thinking of all of you, here.

I hope that upsetting situation, of your stress over the pressure to find that passport, was resolved, @hollydolly

My Warm wishes to each one of you, others!!!!

(edit: uh-oh, Holly, I just read your recent updated post about it all. Ugh!)

No drama here from me, folks. I have a plastic stool I've used for years, I love mine,

I think that some of the short plastic folding step-stools, that appear to be very similar, are actually made quite differently, so that some are much more sturdy, heavy-duty and durable/dependable, than other similar stools.
(Possibly B & R Plastics, makes a similar yet strong, stable one?)

Had a quiet day. I've got to try again to get my sleep/wake cycle back closer to normal. This is getting ridiculous. I feel like a zombie being awake all hours of the night..

Turned the heat up. It was freezing in here. I need to make another vaccine appointment. I need the flu shot and also shingles shot. My doctor has been on me about all these vaccines. I know I sure don't want shingles.
 
I went to bed very early last night. Could not stay awake. So I did not wash my dishes which I rarely ever do but have done it twice recently. Up at 3 this morning and washing dishes while I am on here and drinking coffee. Rabbit loves these hours! He is up and about. Doing binkys around my walker! Also getting a bucket ready to wash a few of my clothes that I need in. Never thought I'd be doing that again........but at least I know how.
 
My 2 step stepladder arrived this morning.. a whole week before it was supposed to get here ! I'm disappointed that it's really too big for the kitchen when it's folded up.. which means I'll have to put it in a place where it won't be as easily accessible as the stool.. but I can't afford to have another fall like that, so I'll just have to suck it up.. ..

I'm just reading about your fall HD. I'm so sorry that happened to you and that your O/H was so uncooperative! :mad: Heal well my friend.

I would start saying the word "No" to him from now on.
 
Very wet and windy day today. Just the kind of January day I love ..gives me a good excuse to hunker down , knowing I don't have to go anywhere and no-one is calling.

I stripped the cooker down, and cleaned all that. Not that it needed much cleaning, but apart from a cursory stove top clean, I haven't really stripped it down for a few months.. because generally I use the airfryer..

An item which was sent to me from an Amazon seller, had me stumped.. because it's a Loreal mauve lipstick in a bashed up packet, which I would never buy.. and I couldn't imagine who sent me it.. and indeed if I;d lost my mind buying it.. but when I searched I found that this ''seller'' works from a London inner city apartment and sent me the lipstick instead of a Mascara , so I've had to start the return process.. I think given the condition of the lipstick, and seeing the state of the apartment .. I will just ask for a refund and not push for the initial order of the Mascara

Yesterday……my appointment with a mental health councillor went well……she’s a very nice person, and down to earth.
She’ll be sending a positive review to my new doctor…..so I’ve done what my doctor has asked me to do…..so now, let’s get my antidepressants established with repeats.
No one’s going to put me in a straight jacket or lock me up…….yet.😉☺️😀😆.

Now there will be the next hard task……finding a family doctor where I’m moving to……will my new doctor be here long enough to help me with referrals……I don’t know.

Have to get refills on meds today…..do some time downstairs, sorting.
