"knock your pipe out"?? a phrase i'm not familiar with. Please educate me!They say it's the next most stressful thing to a death in the family.. so just take your time, you're going to be there for a long time, so no need to knock your pipe out getting things unloaded.. just relax and take it easy...

It simply means ''don't put yourself to too much effort ''
figured it was something like that... like "don't sweat the small stuff".

no not really... it means pretty much that you don't have to work over hard at something when there's an easier way to do it..

I watched some wild birds, out my window, today. 
I am very glad that they are nearby and that I am able to see them. Loved especially the presence of the bright red cardinal, this afternoon. And a red-belly woodpecker, who made a brief appearance.
The goldfinches are losing their bright yellow-gold look, but they will stay local here in the North, for the entire winter, without that bright summer hue of theirs. It's how they go incognito.
They are rather sneaky by nature.

They are rather sneaky by nature. I have been texting, phoning and messaging for a couple of hours. My high school class had their 50th class reunion Friday and Saturday. I did not go... as I can't seem to tolerate long trips any longer for health reasons.
Anyways, my BFF and I were busy saving pictures that were taken. Then another friend that doesn't do FB asked that I send her the photos. There are over 100 photos! I finally told her that I had stuff to do and cook. I didn't recognize half of my classmates. Last reunion I attended was in '97.
Other than that, I haven't done much today.
Talked to my sister Lucy; she said the girls were at a birthday party. Lil Lily wore bracelets and necklaces galore. Hope she doesn't lose the ones I've sent her.

Just been looking at Chaise Longues.. shocked at the prices. I can actually buy a recliner for less than even an Ikea Chaise longue.. much less any other make

I'm trying to work out what to do with my spare bedroom.. I want to make it into something other than a bedroom.. but I don't know what..
Prices are ridiculous! I've been looking for an extra comfy chair for the living room but am not going to pay all that $$$$.Just been looking at Chaise Longues.. shocked at the prices. I can actually buy a recliner for less than even an Ikea Chaise longue.. much less any other make

@hollydolly and @PamfromTx I made the trip to a furnishing "warehouse" in a nearby town to check on what kind of things they have (in the past, they have had a lovely selection of upholstery material and I have found things there I couldn't get anywhere else; unique and high quality things.)
WELL! They've gone in for a lot more high-end furnishings --all very nice and good quality but Lord have mercy, the prices they wanted! $1500.00 for a chair; 75-100.00 for one throw pillow!
I think not =(
I hear ya.... unreal. So, I keep looking and have yet to find anything reasonably priced.

What do you try, for enough relief to manage to fall off to sleep?
I hope that you did get some, and that the pain is close to letting go.

Online shopping. Have you all noticed the price of deodorant is sky high. I must admit I have not bought any in awhile. I had bought a large stock up supply on sale over a year ago. I also bought a multipack of dove bar soap.
It has gone way up as well. Yes I know I am crazy! I tend to buy personal items when I find a good deal/sale since I have storage room.
Not to leave the pups out, also ordered dog food.
@PamfromTx, any time I go to the mall I do a walk through in Macys furniture. I have purchased a lot of furniture over the years when it goes on clearance. Couches, chairs, recliners and the best mattress ever!! It is a good place to keep an eye out for a good deal.

I don't even know how I got to that part in Pinterest; I was suddenly facing all of these fancy lamps. Expensive ones!Apparently, there are homes with no children or pets and grape juice is banned
We were disappointed years ago after purchasing a chair. The chair just lost all of its' springs and support.
I have deodorant galore as my hubby goes nuts buying at Sam's. We also finally stocked up on toilet paper.
