๐Ÿ™  Guys please keep our Julie @JulieT507376 in YOUR THOUGHTS!!!

 

She has been SO STRONG with her 1st anniversary of losing Mark drawing NEAR (December 4th).  ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

 

NOW she is dealing with WORRY over dear sweet Sadie who hurt her paw while spending Thanksgiving with family.

 

Julie could NOT get any Medical Care for her YESTERDAY, but hoping TODAY before heading back home.

 

To some, Sadie is just a dog.

 

To Julie, this sweet girl was Mark's and STILL IS!!!  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

๐Ÿค”  Group Discussion: Those DREAMS!!! Do you try to UNDERSTAND them? I know in the past Marcy @MarcyW882921 had mentioned her husband interpreting them. Anyone have a comment?

I think sometimes dreams can be telling, but mostly I think they're aftereffects of the day's events. Stress can get the dreams going too. However a dream can be trying to tell us something too.

Lol, for awhile it was like EVERY NIGHT I had one and WOKE UP SAD.

 

Then life gave me a BREAK of a few days.  ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„

 

So, LAST NIGHT (yes, had one) and although I got up SAD decided I would TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY it happened.

 

[1] Could a luv one is trying to communicate?

 

[2] Or life is TRYING to comfort and/or warn me.

 

*** Number 2 - comfort. While I was SAD an old and dear friend from High School back in Jamaica West, Indies (later ran into in Miami, Florida when I was married) was in it - what he did in the dream REMINDED ME someone did/does CARE. ***

 

Of late here in Virginia, it has been a CONSTANT AVOIDING DRAMA and it takes a beating on your SOUL.

 

So LIFE, I have NO idea IF Breeder (his pet name from school, lol) is STILL ALIVE but please THANK HIM wherever he is.  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

I'm sorry you're going through that Nicole. Seems people are under so much stress these days. Watching movies on TV is a good stress reliever. Lots of good series on Roku.

That is great Nicole. Ready made salads and soups are easy, varied and healthy. 

Esteemed Social Butterfly

Dealing with neighbors who are a hazard to ones serenity and health is toxic..So you do the best to circumvent the situation like you're doing..Ignore them like they not there..I have a neighbor who is obnoxious and crude..I deal with him like he's invisible..But if he crosses the line the law will deal with him..Everybody deserves their own space but have to be considerate of others which is not always the case..In order to save our sanity we have to act accordingly within the legal bounds...So ilive the best way that you can and ignore them ...

Thanks Jonibee @jonibee  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

 

The sad part is that SOME folks will RETALIATE. I had one back in FLORIDA (38 years ago) when I had just had my only child. Here I am TRYING to work FULL TIME with a NEWBORN. Female BELOW me would NOT let me or my newborn SLEEP OR NAP.

 

I had asked her NICELY to TURN DOWN her Zumba Music. My floors were VIBRATING.

 

Told me she was an INSTRUCTOR and nothing changed.

 

I try to work with NEW neighbors BEFORE going to OFFICE.

 

So I reported her to OFFICE.

 

NEXT DAY, she EGGED MY CAR.

 

Of course I could NOT PROVE THIS but I called police and the OFFICE let me BREAK the year-lease I had JUST SIGNED.

 

Then I rented a 2-bedroom house out in the COUNTRY. EMPTY lots on BOTH sides of me and across the street. I did have a lady that worked at my daughter's daycare BEHIND. Didnot know this. Her brat was a NIGHTMARE. No boundaries.

 

Lol, I am looking for a Small Cottage here in Virginia with PRIVACY & ELECTRIC FENCE.  ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm grateful that those who love and care about me understand how I'm feeling these days. I can only do so much every day before I get

tired.

Nicole @Winter2024 ,

 

I am grateful that I woke up this morning, the sun is shining, I have plenty of food, a kitchen to cook in, family, and friends. I am blessed to be able to share these things with others.

Nicole @Winter2024 ,

 

I had my tile floors restored last week and I am having the ceiling fan in my patio replaced on Monday. I went back and forth on the floors, but I am happy with my decision to go forward.

๐Ÿˆ  I have RELOCATED Mister to another side of my Studio Apartment.

 

Lol, SMALLER accomodations but hey, I have NOT put him OUT.  ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

 

This way I have RECLAIMED my space.

 

From May this year 2024 when I "inherited" him I have been CLIMBING over him while he eats/waters.

 

Stepped on his TAIL a few times and a LEG once. Needless to say he DEMANDED I LET HIM OUTSIDE IMMEDATELY while telling me off with tail swishing.

 

And NOT until I "begged" him to come back INSIDE, would he. Just GLARED at me.

 

My boy!!!  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Thatโ€™s how our little friends are!  Totally in control of the food!  Sadie has her spot in the kitchen and will bang her dish with her paw if she thinks itโ€™s time to eat before I think itโ€™s time!  Usually she wins!!  Iโ€™m a total push over!

  Happy Thanksgiving Nicole.  They took ultrasounds on both wrists and I should get the results in five days.  Funny how they are able to determine rheumatoid arthritis via your wrists.  NO IT DID NOT SNOW!!!!โ›„โ„๏ธ  They keep threatening us with snow and not one snowflake.  Guess I have to wait until Christmas.  My son will be here for dinner.  They put him on a stronger antibiotic and it seemed to help.  I even baked pumpkin pies for the first time!!!!  Glad that you are enjoying "your" cat.  Isn't it nice being OWNED by a cat.  ๐Ÿคฃ  Take care.

Sweet potato pie is very good too. I'm glad Cadee's son is feeling better. I haven't been able to get on the forum. But wanted to wish you all a peaceful day. Take care!

Don't think I have lost it, but I believe even in death, people are still married.

 

Now it gets sticky when folks decide to get married a 2nd time.  ๐Ÿค”
