Time For The $50 Your Way Giveaway April 2025
It’s time for my monthly $50 YOUR Way Giveaway. If you are new here, you choose how you want your prize. PayPal, Venmo, or Gift Card.
Also, if you are new here; this first little bit is my ‘catch-up’ of what has happened on The Mountain for the previous month. So…… March was WEIRD weather-wise. We had snow that would melt before morning. LOTs of rain. IN IDAHO, ON A MOUNTAIN I have NO SNOW?! None? Again I have to say WEIRDEST WINTER EVER!
Health wise; the surgery on my right hand and forearm went well (scars are gnarly! Wanna see??) Except, I don’t think that was the fix. Because (here comes the whine….) the pain continues. I still feel like I rolled my arms in fiberglass. Doctor Google here (me!) just doesn’t know where or what to try next. The REAL doctor is also stumped. I could really use some strength back in my hands that’s for sure. Oh well, enough whining. ON with the GIVEAWAY!!
GIVEAWAY TIME

So Zayada wanted to spend the days with me. Of course we had to go to walmart………… and for some reason she is is to a lot of skin care stuff. Looked at toys but never asked for anything except SLIME………………. AND I HAVE A FIRM NO I DON’T BUY SLIME.

gloria patterson
Our county was hit bad with “microbursts” power out all over place. My building was very lucky we had power. Turns out one of my nieces that lives 5 miles from me is out of power till at least tuesday. There are electric poles down all over the area. Going out to my brothers was stopped in traffic for one lane. Right beside me was a electric pole laying in a ditch. The top of it was black and split. Over ten miles of homes were out. My other niece lives 4 miles from her mother and their power was out. My sister law lucked out they had power! Great dinner left over home with me. While there people were on the deck and chickens everwhere. Somebody told Zay (great niece 8) they would give her $5 to catch a chicken! Other people started saying how much they would give her.
She has never so much as touch a live chicken much less pick one up. Lets say she caught her chicken and made $50+ for doing it. (have pictures posted on facebook)
TODAY DOING NOTHING………….. LAZY LAZY
Elizabeth
Gotta tie up loose ends, but I found time to make some cookie dough…

Well I was downstairs doing laundry this morning at 4 am…………. I was awake so go do it. Got back everything in to drawers or hung up on hangers. Cart put away and about 6:30 I was in the recliner dead to the world till almost 11
About the only thing I have done today is on the computer and to get stuff ready to go to dinner tomorrow. My sister in law always cooks (and they just got back from a 10 day cruise) and she is a great cook. And me I always go to krogers and just pick up something to add to the desert tray.
Shelly Peterson

Had to pick up a prescription, then got gas. It pays to shop on friday had a $1.00 off a gallon.
Had a long nap and now do some computer stuff.
heather
I always shake my head when I see people in the store wearing shorts when it is freezing out! But the ones who are wearing thier pajamas in the store really make me shake my head right in front of them!!!! lol
heather
whoops – meant to type: their
gloria patterson
Heather I never worry about spelling errors………… sometimes my fingers go faster then my mind tells them to LOL
One of my great nieces used to take her son to school drop off in her PJ’s and THEN would stop at the store. That is a big NO to me. Everbody has time to pull on a pair of sweats.
Michele Soyer
Up and out early to go to mass then ubered back home…pressed and did the rest of the laundry .. swiffered the kitchen floor and ran the hoover…relaxing for the rest of the day ecept to cook.. salmon today ..
Rose
OK, so I am dyeing one shirt, and another bleaching…. my order from ThredUp, which I look forward to, but a “yellow” top was neon greenish yellow, so that I toned down with some beige dye, it is now yellow. A top I got had some small brown spots that I could not get out, so put a couple dabs of bleach, and now bleached the whole top so it is now light turquoise instead of regular tourquoise. I figure if I ruined them with experimenting, no big deal b/c they are inexpensive from being second hand. Now doing mending, taking out some spring things and noticing a few tiny holes. Salvaging everything except that some things are now really tight from putting on weight, so kind of hooker style now LOL.
heather
I am doing some work out in the yard today should be nice out here. I did some running around yesterday and wandered into the local Goodwill store. I haven’t been there in a few years and I wanted to get some mens t-shirts large/x-large I like to wear them when I am doing work around the house. Well, all of their t-shirts were like $10.00 and up! I did find one that was $7.00 but it looked like someone used it to wash their car! I’m sorry, I’m an not paying $10.00 and up for a used t-shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!
gloria patterson
Heather prices at goodwill are HIGH!! They are forgetting that people are looking for low prices. They are thinking that somebody is finding all these great deals to resale. Somebody posted a picture on facebook, goodwill was selling a plastic container with lid for $3.99 and it was a take out dish.
heather
Hi Gloria, I am still not over my Goodwill trip really bums me out and I won’t be back! I can go to Walmart and buy a new t-shirt for less than that. That is crazy to read that they were selling a take out dish for $3.99. I just heard yesterday that the DollarTree will be raising their prices again and that bums me out!
Shelly Peterson
I had trouble sleeping so here I am online.
Anne Perry
A good day, family from California is in town.
Ed
Having a good day. Hope everyone has a nice Easter weekend.
gloria patterson
I have not got much done at all today. Quick visit with my mother then downstair to get ice cream. Had a big crowd so I sat there and talked and laughed with most of them. When I finally got home the day just got away from me.

Elizabeth
Need to figure out what to get my sister-in-law and her sister…
Tamra Phelps
I miss Kate being able to comment, Connie! Any idea why she can’t? She said it was saying 401 or 501 error or something–I googld that and it just said server error. I’m clueless about those things. Not a lot going on today. A normal day.
Shelly Peterson
I have an appointment today and some errands to run.

Tamra Phelps
Just a normal day here. A telehealth appointment was cancelled, so no appointments today.
gloria patterson
I have had a busy day………. left here at 7:15 (trafic) for a 8am eye appointment. To check how my cataract eyes are doing and checking my floaters in my left eye. He ask me if I was using reading glasses………NO and I read a lot. Everything looks great, and if floaters change or I see flashes of light call in at once. Also had him write me a prescription of my eye sight NO GLASSES needed. My license (need a new one in a couple of months) says I need corective lenses.
Almost 9 am……………… my next appointment RIGHT WHERE I AM AT this moment is at 1 pm. So I go home do a few things, get something to eat. Get my stuff together and headed out for next appointment. Get stopped “where you going” … Ruby…………….OH I looked at her, where are you needing to go less then a mile in the other direction. Come on I will take you. Pulmonary Dr I am doing really great, she is thinking about dropping another one of my inhalers. Last year I was taking 3 and now down to 2………..
Home something to eat and Z shows up with CC (3) and MJ (7 months) Nothing like holding and playing with that baby and sending him home.
Few more computers things and I am done……………………
heather
WOW! Sounds like one busy day! You are so brave to have two appointments in one day that would send me over the edge for sure. I am starting to get eye floaters too.
gloria patterson
Heather I am starting to worry about this relationship we have going LOL I tell you when I first got them scared me bad!! NOW somedays I stop and think “ARE THEY STILL THERE” Then I will see something floating by! To tell the truth I just debated staying in my good parking spot and just taking a nap. THEN I figured I would wake up and have to go to bathroom………….. so home I go!!!!!!!
Michele Soyer
Busy busy day – time to relax and take some time for you…
l p
the day is going well. spent a good part of it fighting with the printer. it finally yielded and printed off the documents I needed. fingers crossed that it will continue to behave. enjoy your day. thanks
Elizabeth
Feel like I’m catching a throat bug, sigh…
Shelly Peterson
Today is just a day of dialysis.

heaher
Happy over the hump day! I am just catching up on laundry today and doing doing stuff around the house.
Anne Perry
A great day to decorate for Easter.
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to working the Jets game tomorrow night.
Tamra Phelps
I feel like there is so much I need to get done (just normal housekeeping stuff like find a place for storing some clothes)–but I am so lazy, lol. Actually, I’m more achy than lazy. My hands ache, my back aches, my arms ache, and on and on. When you need your hands and arms just to move around, it gets hard to do stuff when they ache. Hopefully, the weather will warm up and some aches will ease up.
gloria patterson
Tamra
I know what you mean about aches, its a bitch being old. For me heat really helps. You may already have something but for me RICE BAGS ARE THE BEST. The quick and easy way is to fill a tube sock with RICE and tie a knot in the top. Microwave (depends on your microwave) 2 minute or so. The sock fits so nice in the center of your back. Or it you have a sewing mach sew 2 wash rags together, fill with rice and sew the top.
Elizabeth
Decompressing awhile after a stressful day, it was crazy!
Rose
My box of thrift clothese from ThredUp arrived and yippee – all good! Summer tees and a couple pairs of shorts that are like legging fabirc.
Shelly Peterson
Today I ran some errands with my daughter.

the day is going well. kind of chilly today as there are a lot of clouds. got lots of organising and cleaning done today. enjoy your day. thanks
Terri Quick
I had to go out & buy a new phone today.
gloria patterson
First time in 3 days decided needed a nap…………… just fell asleep and I heard the tv and fan go off….. right back to sleep, they wake me again when power came back on. Back to sleep and it all happens again. Finally it stays on almost a 2 hr nap. Have not done much today at all.
Have decided that I am either getting a cold (hot/cold weather) OR Allergies are kicking me. The strange part have never had allergies.
Michele Soyer
From the 24th to the 27th there is going to be a special exhibition in the art institute of “flowers in bloom” so making arrangements to go to see that…hopefully there will be an open art / craft sale here by me….as for today a quick uber to the mall to see if we can get outfits for the ballet.. planning on a dinner out first…lovely treat by my daughter for Mothers Day weekend….I feel so grateful…
gloria patterson
Michele

Tamra Phelps
It was a nice 76 out there today, but then it stormed. That seems to be the trade-off in Spring, I guess. Temps are supposed to drop again, though. So Winter just won’t leave.

Anne Perry
Today will be a good day. I am doing laundry and planting seeds. The moon is full.
Shelly Peterson
I have just relaxed and trying to feel better.
gloria patterson
For the last few days I have felt like crap. NOT sick, just not good. I have slept more in the last couple of days. Today I was up at 6 felt good time I got dress did a few little things then I was back in the recliner. 3 hrs later AND late I had another 2 hr nap………………
Tamra Phelps
I get like that sometimes. Sometimes, it’s just my mood, lol. But sometimes it turns out you are early in a cold or something. Take care. Nap all you need!
Michele Soyer
Take care of yourself!
l p
the day is going well. off early to the farmers’ market and had a great time seeing all the Spring items and getting some fresh veggies and fruit. enjoy your day. thanks
Rose
Oh it has been snowing today. Not too much accumulation, but brrrry cold and a good day to stay in! I’m getting things together to make aloe vera soap for administrative assistant day. I was trying to find scents and types that most people would like. So I figure that is green, so springy, and a scent most will think is OK, not too strong, etc. I just got an aloe vera stamp, too, so I’m psyched to try the new stamp!!
Soha Molina
TodY IS sAT and it is a great day/.

Then the wifi has been up and down all morning making me pull my hair out! I am ready to go back to bed………..

Its a good thing you have storage room for all of these

Terri Quick
The Doctor said that I have Shingles. Idk where I could have got it from.
Soha Molina
My day is great. How is yours?
Shelly Peterson
I’m slowly getter better day by day. Today I have dialysis.
Michele Soyer
Well our walk yesterday turned out a bit differently.. we wound up at State Highway 35 E/W which we had to cross to get to the shopoing center..NO this highway is huge with trackers trailers going hell bent! I am not a “no I can’t do this person” but that NO..wound up ubering the rest of the way – a short distance.. Was the grocery worth it? It was a beautiful store large, clean and guess what? expensive! LOL..Bought a few things and 2 really lovely plants and ubered home…no lottery sold there so off today to a shoppe that does!
heather
I see the form is not working today. I will come back later and check again. I am just doing stuff around the house today more cleaning. I am really getting into the spring cleaning mood been throwing a lot of stuff away lately.
Rose
Wowzer it was really cold out today. Glad I changed my plans last minute as I would have walked out expecting warm and sunny brrrrrrr. Listening to several town meetings tonight, including public hearings over several issues. It is interesting, and I wonder how it will shake out they want to way up on the mill rate…. ouch!
gloria patterson
Started out to be a lazy day. Cleaned, trimmed my aero gardens, filled water etc. Took trash out.
GOT a phone call from Chris my student dental person. He had a cancelation could I come at 1 pm. Sure not doing anything else. So I am there at 1 and we get started. He is doing this and that, checking & numbers (I have no ideal) BUT all this had to be done When done teacherS checked and OK’d to go to cleaning my teeth. Turns out I have been kinda lucky………….. only have one cavity. Then he cleaned and polished my teacher and teachers checked and OK’d everthing again.
1pm to 4:10…………………. I just knew it was going to cost another arm & leg. {{{{The dental school is cheaper then a regular dentist (they say) I paid almost $400 for full mouth xrays and dental assement.{{{{{
Turns out I still had some credit and ended up paying only $17.00 today. When ever next appointment is he will fill one tooth. And then start to prepare for doing a bridge on that front tooth……………..
Stopped at McD for dinner
Elizabeth
Finishing up some coffee before I take some junk outside…
Tamra Phelps
Sort of a slow day. I’m still trying to sort things out around here after spwnding that month away. The issue is I get tired easily, lol. So I take my time. I’m bout able to get one big chore done a day, lol. Yesterday, I cleared all the clutter that had seemed to build up in the living room–you know, you put stuff down and leave it and then it piles up and you have to clear the table/desk/whatever.
gloria patterson
Tamra girl one of my main rules is everything has a home ……………… and that is where it goes.
You just have to figure out a plan to get it there or its place. Less stressful for you.
l p
the day is going well. a few appointments taken care of and visiting with family and friends. enjoy your day. thanks
Shelly Peterson
I had an appointment this morning. Now I am going to lunch with my daughter.
heather
I have to make a trip to the local library this morning. Just cleaning the house today nothing too thrilling.
Michele Soyer
Had a good time shopping yesterday…bought a plant and some peat pots for seeds…some pretty pastel candles searched the clothes and so surprised that mixed in a sweatshirt rack was a trench coat marked down to $25 from $50 lined and very good quality and in my size.. today it is 20 degrees but hopefully it will warm up – want to take a walk to another grocery chain I have never been to about 1 1/2 miles away…we shall see…
Anne Perry
A good day. The sun is out!
Ed
Having a good day. Went to the Jets game tonight as a spectator for a change. They won!
Heather Swanson
A good day it was my 66th birthday.
Elizabeth
Finally heading to the library and post office after looking for stuff…
Rose
I made chicken today with a homemade BBQ spice blend. I was amazed how good the spice blend is – it has about 14 different spices, though and brown sugar, but wow. I was thinking this could be a good gift for someone who likes this kind of thing.
Tamra Phelps
Well, now we are freezing again, literally. Yep, it’s below freezing at night for a few days. Where did spring go???
Richelle Leffler
I’ve never been out of Ohio before so I don’t really have any travel tips. My daughter did go on a Washington trip with her class, she had a lot of fun. I’m happy my daughter has got to experience some traveling.
Richelle Leffler
My day is going alright, but I’m a bit tired and low on energy today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
l p
the day is going well. it’s bread-baking day so I’m pretty busy at times. making hot cross buns in addition to the usual fare. enjoy your day. thanks
gloria patterson
Off to walmart to pick up a few of this and some of that. Every time I go I find something else for the girls Easter basket.
Home ever thing put away, made a sandwich from left over chicken.
This is another one of those is it really spring????? Blooming trees, grass growing, flowers blooming…..
MY HEAT IS RUNNING AND IT IS GOING TO SNOW LATER TODAY……….. (maybe)
Shelly Peterson
I am still in a lot of pain. But I am slowly getting better. I am off to dialysis soon.
Heather
It’s been a sad morning here this morning. I am missing our dog a lot. It’s going to take a while to learn to adjust to life without her. I need to keep my mind busy today might get the tires rotated on my car.
Anne Perry
A good day. Going to make some ground beef and zucchni.
Michele Soyer
Out this morning after breakfast..We have never been to the Walmart here – it is fairly close but not walkable – so uber it shall be…Who knows what bargains we will get…
l p
the day is going well. lots on the list today and have to get at it despite the miserable weather. hopefully it will stop raining and warm up soon. enjoy your day. thanks
Rose
It is an overcast and a little bit rainy day today, but I love them! I feel guilt free to stay in. I also realized that I’m a pluviophile – never realized that is a thing. I feel my heart sing on rainy days!
Shelly Peterson
I came home from the hospital yesterday. I am still in a lot of pain.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Feel better soon. Relax and heal.
Ed
Having a good day. Last day of spring break- boo!
Elizabeth
Heading out on the bus to run errands, it’s a gorgeous day!
gloria patterson
WIDE AWAKE AT 3:30 ………………… could not go back to sleep
Finally got up, got laundry together ………………. downstairs to do it. Back all put away and hung up. I DON’T OWN ANY THING THAT NEEDS IRONING. I DON’T OWN A IRON………..
Been doing a little of this and that. Some weird reason I don’t want a nap………………..
heather
I hate to iron too.
heather
Our 17 year old dog passed away last night and we are burying her this morning. Heavy hearts here today. This past week has not been a good one that’s for sure…
Connie: The Head Peanut
Oh Heather. I am so sorry!!
gloria patterson
Heather
So sorry for your lost. They are always in our hearts but it is hard road to go for a while
Michele Soyer
We had a lovely evening – a good time was had by all…after breakfast laundry and a quick vacuum….Lots of leftovers so no cooking today just reading and listening to music!
Anne Perry
Hope for a good day. I think the storm is still ongoing.
Tamra Phelps
I spent hours trying to ut together a little shelf I bought on Amazon, lol. I hate those little ‘L’ shaped screwdrivers they put in those things! So useless!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Ahhhh stupid tools. Did you win? Shelf all together now?
gloria patterson
Tamra
I know what you are talking about ……… Got a small bookcase, I called that bookcase ever name in the book. Finally threw the directions away and put it together without them. That tool is a allen wrench and I bought a folding allen wrench set and it has a BIG handle on it…………… a lot easier to use.
SO DID YOU GET IT TOGETHER ???????????
gloria patterson
It has been a long day. Have not done much, a little of this and some of that.
Some crafting, some reading, some computer work
Elizabeth
Watching an old Daffy Duck cartoon on TV right now because I need it!
Ed Harms
Having a good day. Looking forward to having friends over this evening.
l p
the day is going well. out for a long walk before the precipitation and winds come. enjoy your day. thanks
heather
I have to do some running around today. I’m still a little chapped about my doctor’s appointment yesterday. I was told that I should only be there for 40 minutes. Well, I got there at 8:40am my appointment time was 9:00am they quickly put me in the “little room” and I sat in there with no water, food or even a magazine until the doctor strolled in at 11:00 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I had an attitude then he got an attitue so then I explained in great detail WHY I had an attitude after being in there for HOURS!!!! Things turned out just so so in the end not sure if I will go back yet or not. When I get THAT pissed off it’s hard for me to get over it but I will try.
gloria patterson
Heather
It must have been the day for WAITING. My apointment was for 8:45 I got there and checked in & paided at 8:15
At 9:15 I was back at the first desk wanting to know if I had been forgotten. After they checked yea she paid. we will check with them. Lets just say the student that came to get me at almost 9:30 got a little kicking……………… Found out from head/teacher dentist later that reception forgot to push the button on my name. Turns out they forgot on 3 of us.
SOME DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heather
Hi Gloria, That is so weird that we went through ‘The Waiting Game From Hell’ on the same day! And just about the exact same time! I’m still not over all the fun! Have a great day.
Connie: The Head Peanut
That’s a ridiculous wait time! What the absolute #@<×#?
Terri Quick
I’m slowly starting to feel better with resting, meds & fluids
Anne Perry
A wonderful day. I am plant strawberry seeds.
Michele Soyer
Had a lovely walk yesterday and did wind up at home goods where I bought a large burgundy candle and some Easter colored tapers for the table then of course next door to the Dollar Tree! I did go a bit nuts with seeds 4 for $1 and grow pots, dish towels and oven mitts Easter themed , face scrubs ,butgundy votive candles…Could not pass up a clear plastic crystal look tray…walked back home and was very happy with my haul…today getting ready for dinner guests this evening….
Soha Molina
My day just started and going well so far.
Shelly Peterson
I was supposed to go home from the hospital today but had to.stay another night.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I hope everything is okay.
Jen Becerril
It was still cold today but i started working on my garden planning for the year.Hope it warms up.
Soha Molina
My day is going great.It’s Friday.
Connie: The Head Peanut
AGREED!! We hit a whipping 38° today. Bring on some sunshine please!
Terri Quick
It was pretty exhausting day with running errands
gloria patterson
The first of January I cracked a front tooth and they could not save it so had to have it pulled. Off to the WVU student dental clinic this morning. My apointment was at 8:45 and be there 15 minutes early. So I was there about 8:20 and signed in and paid. I waited and waited, students came out and never called my name. So back to the front desk to find out if I had been forgotten. They checked and we will let them know.
So I got a student at 9:25 and I let him know my apointment was 8:45. I found out later from the head dentist the desk forgot to press the button by my name so they didn’t know I was there. They also didn’t do it for 2 others.
The dental school is cheaper then a regular dentist (they say) I paid almost $400 for full mouth xrays and dental assement.
Came home and took a long nap
Connie: The Head Peanut
OUCH! Why does the dentist have to be something dang expensive?
Rose
I haven’t been flying in ages, and I get sooo nervous. I’d say have a tranquilizer, if doctors still give them as prescriptions for something like that. Or have a good movie lined up, or sit next to a really cute guy!!! And wear you new fragrance to captivate him.
Soha Molina
My tip is to take an EmergenC pack with you and take it before enterin the airport.
Connie: The Head Peanut
That’s a BRILLIANT idea! Adding it to my grocery list right now. Thank you
Rose
I have to check that out!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Rose you crack me up!! I absolutely will load up the iPad with a movie.
Terri Quick
I’ve got my hands full with Bear & Buddy today lol
Rose
I went to the mall today, the first time in years. It was a goof-off day, so my mission was to sniff fragrances. Every store that had fragrance I tried them out. I had seen many of them online, and trying them in the store they can be different than how you imagined them. I didn’t get anything, but have ideas. After you have sniffed too many, I could only tell for sure if I didn’t like one, but many I do like enough to need to go back!! What is a fresh, sweet fragrance that doesn’t have those drydowns of musk or patchouli…. that I’m sniffing around for, esp I was thinking something with rose and/or violet.
Terri Quick
I’m at home relaxing with my dogs lol
Elizabeth
Need to find lunch and get going,nothing but scam calls all day…
l p
the day is going well. lots of activity next door with the construction as the weather is lovely. heading out with my list for some groceries. enjoy your day and weekend. thanks
Tamra Phelps
Rain, rain, rain. That’s bbeen the last three days. And storms. Well, that’s the price we pay for warmer weather, I guess.
heather
I have a doctor’s appointment this morning. I am meeting a new Primary Care Physician because my last one suddenly quit. I am a little nervous and can’t wait til it’s over.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Ewww I hate having to find a new doctor. I hope you like this one.
Terri Quick
I’m just having a lazy weekend before having to run errands on Monday
Michele Soyer
Gloria this place truly feels like home – maybe Corfu was just a dream and for vacations only….Today I need a walk! it is 28 outside so boots etc…Believe it or not i will probably make a stop att he Dollar Tree again! they have the prettiest Easter kitchen towels that are of a pretty good quality…
Tamra Phelps
I have to admit, I wondered how you would like the cold and snow after living the island life, lol!! Hey, if you like it, you can change your plans.
gloria patterson
Michele
I am glad to hear this. It just sounded more ever time you posted that it was becoming home.
I am a Dollar Tree Fan even with price increase it is still a good deal. You can find so many good deals there and if something does not long term last you only paid $1.25 for it. (or so)
I buy a lot of the metal outside flower stakes…………… great niece loves them
Connie: The Head Peanut
I love Dollar Tree. I can ALWAYS find something I need.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Ohhhhh Easter towels! Yup, I need to make a trip too.
Anne Perry
My travel tip is to pack light and take lots of pictures.
Connie: The Head Peanut
A girl after my own heart. Lots of pictures! I’ve actually started packing lighter than I ever did when I was younger.
Terri Quick
Shingles seems so long to recover from
Anne Perry
Today is a wonderful day! The 4/4 portal is open.
Tamra Phelps
The situation here last night was similar to Gloria’s. Tornado warnings and storms all night. I live in an apartment, there is no basement and I’m not getting up to wheel into the bathroom, so I just leave it to fate, I guess.
gloria patterson
Tamra I do like you. That just sounded like me. I am right beside a window so I just covered my head. 15 minutes or so I just got up and started my day…………… L O L
Terri Quick
I’m just taking care of the dogs & trying to relax in between lol
l p
the day is going well. woke up to sunshine so that helps things warm up sooner. got to my appointment only to find it had to be cancelled as the practicioner woke up ill. don’t have a cell phone so they couldn’t notify me while I was on my way. got some extra steps in and lots of fresh air so that’s always a win. enjoy your day. thanks
Terri Quick
I’m still fighting off a head cold so just relaxing at home
Shelly Peterson
I’m in the hospital. I had surgery yesterday and I’m in lots a pain.
heather
Hope you feel better soon.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Shelly, I hope your feeling better now and no pain.
gloria patterson
My day started at 4:45 am when the phone alert went off……………… tornado warnings
AND NO I didn’t go back to sleep. BUT there is nothing I can do. I live in a 10 story building.
Off to have my car service I had a light coming on ever time I go round a curve. I was in the waiting room with 2 ladies and husband in the corner. One woman TOLD everthing that went back years. The other lady and her husband were there because the dealership told them they did a repair…. BUT.
I got off lucky I thought it was going to be one tire or maybe 2 needing replaced.
But it was bad sensor $112. later
Stopped at dollar tree picked up a few things……….. then to Little Caesars for a lunch combo.
Elizabeth
Hoping to crib together lunch before I go run errands…
Michele Soyer
All deliveries came already and everything is put away….Another very nice thing occured.. one of the ladies that I met the other night happens to be a singer.. she invited us to come to her next gig – it will be before Easter…I believe it is a club of some sort – she does jazz and country strange mix huh..LOL
Right now since my daughter installed the sound bar and I am doing nothing but sitting and listening to all my Peabo Bryson cd’s…remembering when we saw him both in NYC and Trinidad too! wen I sam done with him I will move on to Regina Belle a REALLY lazy day…Lunch will be quick lentils with spinach and brown and wild rice…and yes Gloria a single malt..LOL
gloria patterson
Michele
It sounds like more ever day this is becoming home!!!
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to spending a relaxing day at home.
heather
It is a cleaning day for me. I have to mop the kitchen etc… so much fun. Hope you have a great day.
Clem
Travel tip: research the climate of the destination and pack accordingly.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Excellent suggestion!
New York, Boston, Philadelphia the 2nd week of June, supposed to be mild. But this winter has been so weird…. hopefully just mild weather.
Elizabeth
Weather got crummy again, so I’m making do with leftovers…
Tamra Phelps
We are expecting bad weather over the next few days–storms, tornado watches. In other words, Spring in KY. Other than that, it’s been business as usual around here.
Polly Hall
I did not do much today, it was cold and stormy all day.
Terri Quick
Take alot of calming breaths lol
Terri Quick
I’m fighting off a head cold so just staying home & relaxing
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to working the Manitoba Moose game tonight!
l p
the day is going well. got a phone call to offer an appointment d/t a cancellation. I took it, even though it’s last minute and I had to shuffle the schedule as I’ve been waiting for one for quite some time and was booked for the end of June. fingers crossed the weather will cooperate. enjoy your day. thanks
gloria patterson
Sun is shinning but it is calling for lots of rain. Spring is here flowering trees in bloom, daffys up everwhere. They will be starting to cut grass soon.
Doing nothing today……. had not been out of my apartment so far.
Working on a couple of craft things. It is so nice to be able just leave everthing out, and just work on it when I want to.
Some computer stuff, reading (always got a book going) I like paper books. I can read on my ipad but just don’t really enjoy it as much………….. STRANGE
And I just might take a nap later………………..
gloria patterson
2n TRAVEL TIP —- TAKE OLD CLOTHES
15+ YRS AGO my sister got to go on a paid for trip to mult countries. She knew that she would be buying lots of stuff on the trip…
She packed a large suitcase full of OLD clothes. At the end of each day she would throw most of what she had wore in the trash.
She ended her trip with a full suitcase of stuff she bought on that trip. And almost all of her clothes were still in some other country.
Connie: The Head Peanut
OMGEEEE that’s a BRILLIANT IDEA!!
Shelly Peterson
Today I have surgery. I hope all goes well.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Saying prayers for you!
Shelly Peterson
Thank you.
Michele Soyer
It snowed all day yesterday and it is so pretty outside…a neighbor invited us over for a drink last night and we met many other people at the get together….our circle is widening and that makes me smile…getting ready to make my grocery and wine orders to be delivered tomorrow – Saturday evening having a small dinner party…
Connie: The Head Peanut
That’s AWESOME Michele!
Michele Soyer
My best travel tip….no matter what the airlines says leave early! one never knows what chaos can happen at the airport at any time…also check in as early as the airline allows on your phone …
Connie: The Head Peanut
Absolutely! I would rather be early than stressed out.
heather
I woke to learn that Val Kilmer passed away last night. I loved him! He was so brilliant as Doc Holiday in the movie Tombstone. Oh and of course as Iceman! Really bummed me out this morning. Have a good day.
Ed
Having a good day. Happy April Fool’s everyone!
Heather Swanson
My first email was a win for a gift card today!
Elizabeth
My SIL’s knee procedure is probably finishing up now, haven’t heard anything yet…
Elizabeth
I like reserving books at the library before I arrive (if I’m going somewhere where I hold a card) so I don’t have to take reading material with me!
Natalie
I had a busy day at work but I am glad I was working today because it is snowing outside!!!
Natalie
My best travel tip is to use the Google Translate app on your phone if visiting a foreign country. It can translate voice or text!
l p
re travel tips – my Mother loved to take pictures with her camera while on trips. whenever she took a picture, she would dictate a note about where she was and why the picture was taken. when she got home, she made wonderful scrapbooks of the trips. now I love to look at them and hear her voice. thanks
Terri Quick
I’m just resting up until the shingles clear up
l p
the day is going well. it’s a warm, sunny day so there’s lots of activity around. made muffins for neighbours and will join them for tea soon. Connie – I’m so sorry to hear the surgery hasn’t been all that helpful. fingers crossed that some magic appears for you soon. enjoy the day. thanks
Terri Quick
I’m still recovering. Ugh! I hate being sick
Shelly Peterson
My sister is coming into town today. It will be nice to see her.
Shelly Peterson
I never travel so I have no helpful tips. Just have fun.
gloria patterson
“Your best travel tip?”
LESS IS MORE!! Use the smallest suitcase you can. Have compression bags for all stuff in suitcase. YOU don’t need 5 tops you can hand wash and dry overnight. 2 pairs of shoes, hat, some type of jacket, shoulder purse.
I have been looking at the compress back packs that would hold a lot. Of course you know about having spare chargers cause you are going to be taking pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!
It might be nice to also have “Drawstring backpack” ( amazon) could be in your purse or pocket and you buy stuff pull the backpack out and put the stuff in easy to carry.
On plane I am one of those people that go to sleep even thou I have a book. But you might be to busy talking to sleep or anything else.
Terri Quick
I woke up with a headache today. It’s probably these crazy weather conditions
Tamra Phelps
Travel tip, huh? For me it would be don’t leave anything to chance, lol. I’m a control freak. I plan things out and try to take in to consideration anything that could go wrong. Does it help, nah, probably not. I would say make a list of what you need and gather everything before the day you leave, lol. That way you don’t wind up in NY and without clean underwear or a toothbrush.
gloria patterson
WOW I though something was wrong with the form. I am the SECOND person to comment!!
Have not done much today. Had a hungry for tuna melt so made tuna fish and had a couple of slices of sour dough bread left………………… SO SO GOOD!
Some computer does and finished up a new book. The problem with a new book (JD Robb) is I read it to fast. Couple of weeks and I will go back and read it again.
Now I have to decide what is next in my read. I am a mixed reader of everything.
Tamra Phelps
Dang, I’m sorry your surgery didn’t really help the pain. I have pain in my hands caused by the med I take for the DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ)–so I tolerate it but sometimes it gets bad. I know how it just ruins your day, how you feel like you can’t do the simplest things anymore. It stinks.
Heather
My best travel tip is to take things that will keep you occupied like books, magazines, portable dvd player and headphones.
Shelly Peterson
I’m hoping to finally go home today.
Connie: The Head Peanut
And?? Home now?
Shelly Peterson
Hi Connie. Yes. I went home on the 5th. 😀
Terri Quick
I finally was able to go out & get some air today
heather
Happy April Fools Day! Be careful out there today. I am doing stuff around the house today I did my running around yesterday. I may make a trip to the library a little later.
Terri Quick
I’m fighting off a head cold so just staying home & relaxing
