  1. We all feel that when we lose someone to suicide, and of course the father you knew would not do that to you...but he didn't do it to you, he wanted out of his pain, whatever was troubling him...but it affected you greatly, also his fiance I'm sure. I am so sorery for your loss. I would encourage you to get counseling. In addition to Marty's great articles, here is another:
  2. Thank you! I can't believe how much my son looks like me and my grandson looks like him! They came and finished the well, made a HUGE muddy mess! Worse than last time! I have no more gravel to put over the mud, and my M/C is tied up with paying them so will have to wait for rock to put over it. No one to rake it anyway, getting old sucks. My neighbor of 40 year died Sunday, found out yesterday. I worked with his wife 19 years ago, my heart goes out to her. She has kids around, that helps.
  3. Went to my son's 40th bdy yesterday and we also celebrated my grandson's 7th from two weeks before, here is the cake my son made him...it's Batman but we dubbed it Fatman. One in London like this sold for $1172.00! And one of the men together.
  4. Oh that sounds just like it! Not enough fat, try fat bombs, I have one every day. I agree and coffee is mine. It'll be my last thing to go. For sure! Very annoying. This morning my mobile phone wants me to set a 6 letter password for Msgr, no thank you! You watch, one of these days they won't let me use it w/o one. Actually they do, they just kept threatening they wouldn't, but I lost mine six months ago, was still doing them then. You were lucky, I didn't hit it so lucky. No, 4 1/4 years and I haven't. I just find a Keto recipe that will take the place of whatever I want. It warmed up a couple of weeks ago and then went back to freezing, may get snow this weekend.

  6. Same age as my daughter. My heart goes out to you. Never give up, as long as there's breath...
  7. Me too, Kevin, it's a struggle...I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (PC quit so went to laptop) and then upgraded (if you can call it that) to Windows 11...what a challenge it's been! They said we'd have to within 1 1/2 years so I took the plunge. Not an improvement, either of them.
  8. I don't see you are a failure at anything. Value yourself, sometimes we're all we have. And your brother...is that surprising? No news is good news. Something wrong with him, narcissist?
  9. Haha, my DIL hasn't been here since she dropped her six month old baby here for me to watch, that was over seven years ago. Nope, she just wants to use me. I'm 71, how long does she think I can do this? They live three hours away in a very remote unmarked area where GPS doesn't work. I'm comfortable driving to Eugene over an hour away. I have food, just couldn't go buy fresh produce and creamer, finally did this week. i can always eat carnivore and give up coffee if need be. Only time it'd be a problem is like during the snowpocalypse five years ago when our power was out for over 8 days and cut off from the world, no plows, phones, electricity, etc. That was hell. We survived it. My son came on the middle day, hooked up his generator, for a day, after he left it quit. Refrigeratored food all went bad. Couldn't store food outside and attract wild animals but after I got my coolers I could...ever since I store my coolers on the patio in the winter. There was too much snow to reach the storage room where they were. The weatherman didn't predict it, worse than, they said it'd all be north of Salem, ha! Woke up up 4' 5" overnight! 18 degrees. My Arlie was a trooper. A few months later he was dead, inoperable cancer. I love Chrome. Windows 11 keeps setting default to other browsers, I had it set on 10 but they don't seem to let me keep it, change it every day. I've used AVG for years, it's never once let a virus or malware through. Over 20 years ago I had Norton, it let a virus through, it ate everything literally. My son came home from the service, wiped it clean, reloaded whatever windows they had back then (95? 98?) and set me up with this antivirus, and it's free. I also have AdblockerPlus. We're getting a break in the weather but it'll turn colder within a week, from Canada...hoping/praying I can make my son's 40th bdy party and help my grandson celebrate his 7th, all depends on if it snows within the next 8 days. We'll see. Kodie helps me accept my life as it is so much, I can't believe what a difference he makes. I noticed Panther had two matts on his back last night, had to cut them off, I trimmed a bit at a time as I didn't want to nip him and these were really thick. Weren't there last week. He was really good when I did it, held still for me which is a miracle! Windows 11 isn't an improvement from 10 imo but not horribly worse, I just hate how Microsoft is so invasive and takes over, I really hate them. But they're going to force our hand within two years or stop working so I took the plunge.
  10. I hope you have a great time, even with XW there. I'm supposed to go to my son's 40th bdy 3/24, hoping/praying no snow so I can make it! His dad may be there, I don't know, his uncle usually comes to these things.
  11. I had this yesterday, how can you look up a word when you can't think of it! Keto "bread" is a misnomer, can't have it, we don't advise products. We make everything from scratch. I tried making Keto bread but it spiked me, the Keto guy "The Banting King" threw us totally off! I spent $42 on ingredients I can't use. I made a loaf for the neighbors for Christmas, their dog attacked me viciously! Threw me on the ground, I have horrid scars from it, they still itch. I make what is called Keto 90 second bread, love it! And it doesn't raise my blood sugar (BS). Weird how you and I eat nearly opposite to stay alive. You get old and find out what is going to be your lot in life, what you have to do to stay alive, different for everyone, and some have no restrictions. Lucky them. Some get to keep their husbands, I lost mine at barely 51. Most take theirs for granted, not realizing how their life can change in a moment.
  12. Marg, we seem to eat opposite except I can have spinach. Can you have eggs? Tomatoes? Why would they insist on screws at your age? They're nuts! Plus it costs more. (Hence why they insist).
  13. Sometimes temporary crowns show weird colors, but wth! I would NOT be happy! They shouldn't even have grey on their color palate!
  14. My dentist ordered out the bridge, and they made it badly, the dental office installed it and a year later I was complaining about it (front teeth) and they haggled with the place that made it and had them make another one. so glad! It cost a pretty penny (thousands) and no insurance.
  15. Made the long trek to town to get groceries, took about four hours, an hour of it just getting the groceries. Poured rain, instead of cats and dogs, I'd call it tigers and bears! Not a lot happening here but uneventful sounds good. Snowing here tonight/tomorrow. Can do without that. Karen, I can't believe they may your teeth buck! Should do over again, the bite can't be right. My first bridge was that way, made them redo it a year later.
