I AM SO GLAD to hear from you TODAY Marcy @MarcyW882921 !!!  💃💃💃

Well, my daughter is the complete OPPOSITE OF ME and unlike me keeps stuff locked up INSIDE HER. In fact, she had ended up in the hospital while in university for what they thought was a HEART ATTACK. Thank goodness it was just stress and all the drama in her life at that time. Lol, as you already KNOW I talk you guys' head off = NO stress here!!!  😂🤣  Your AWESOME suggestion is true for me. I LUV AND APPRECIATE when folks ask these questions = shows they care. My grandma was really good with this during my awful childhood at home (father a working alcoholic engineer - died while driving home from work drunk when I was 12, mother being beaten up every day).

Aha, enjoying all that HEAT I see!!!  👍👍👍

Luv you VERY MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[SummerIsTooHOT]

TO ALL OUR MILITARY!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for your service. You guys keep us SAFE and give up SO MUCH to do this.

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[SummerIsTooHOT]

Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by TODAY Cadee @Cadee2719 and MC @mc6844 . The HOLIDAYS are still VERY HARD for me and DREADING Memorial Day TOMORROW.

Lol, I bet our Social Butterfly-Ms. Zumba-Singer @MarcyW882921 is probably on the road and/or cooking for someone. Be SAFE Marcy wherever you are.  🙃

Lol, the Parking Lot is basically EMPTY (folks out of town) and with storms starting TODAY and continuing TOMORROW = my nerves will still be INTACT along with my SANITY!!!  👍👍👍

I guess some folks FORGET this is an Apartment Complex and NOT their private home out in the wilderness.  🙄🙄🙄

So THANK YOU Mother Nature for the 2-day storm here in Cave Spring, Virginia = NO loud music or police cars (break up the drunken fights) TOMORROW. Everyone that is still here will be INSIDE.  💃💃💃

Luv you ALL,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

Cadee @Cadee2719 , I am SO HAPPY for you and YOUR POST reminded me that one day SOON I too will be moved, safe and closer to my daughter.

HAPPY DANCE DOUBLE TIME FOR YOU Ms. Idaho!!!  💃💃💃💃💃💃

Luv you SO MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

 Happy Sunday  Yesterday was such a good day.  The young woman and her husband spent the day with me and we reminisced about being at the University and the people we knew.  Amazingly enough she shared the GOOD NEWS that she found the family that she NEVER knew she had!!  She was adopted.  Her daughter-in-law, as a gift gave her the ancestry search and lo and behold she discovered that she had 6 other siblings.  She is meeting one of them today and the others at a later date.  The happiness on her face made my day.  They promised to come and visit every time they were here.  At this stage of my life I have come to enjoy the simple things of life.  I put a bird feeder in my backyard and am amazed at the different birds that I am discovering here.  One of my little friends asked me how old I was.  His buddy said "I know, you are 36"  I told him that I loved him to bits.  I said "No, I am 80" and he responded with that is a BIG NUMBER!!!!!!  I don't know anyone that old."  🤣  They come by often, knock on my door and want to "chat".  They make me smile.  Life is simple, Life is safe, Life is good.  I am wishing that for all of my friends on this site.  The world is such a mess; so take the time to find solace in your day, comfort in your life and peace.  Luv you ❤️  ***]

Cadee @Cadee2719 , I have nothing against Granny Suites to house Extended Family but so over all this OVERBUILDING. It is like WHERE IS THE GRASS??? Yes, I know folks have bills and some hate cutting their lawn BUT cutting my lawn with my MANUAL Sears Lawnmower when I had a house was my THERAPY to deal with life. Gosh, the MEGA MANSIONS are like apartments with an inch between them. Nope, staying in my CUTE Studio Apt until I can FIGURE OUT how to get my grass, peace and sanity back here in Virginia or wherever my daughter is when I cannot drive anymore. Now that Josh in the office is letting me return to a month to month with NO 60 day notice to move - I am back to SEARCHING. Lol, now to hope he stays!!! He is young and his company manages the property for the INVESTMENT COMPANY who bought this property.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY VERY SPECIAL!!!  💃💃💃  Always awesome hearing from YOU.

Luv you VERY MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

How are you guys doing?

Sixty one here in Cave Spring, Virginia with a high of 84. Guess it is time to replace my Android wallpaper with a Summer one. Bye Spring!!!  😭😭😭

Well, storms start TOMORROW (Sunday) ending in time for my Weekly Trip for groceries at Walmart. GRATEFUL!!!  💃💃💃

YESTERDAY (Friday) I ended up going to bank, Kroger and Sheetz. I usually stay in Friday thru Sunday and run errands on the OTHER days IF I have a choice. What had happened was my Mechanic had charged me $2,000.00 INSTEAD of $200.00 on  Wednesday to fix my car door. Yes, it was refunded but was NOT showing up in my bank account. Of course bank had NO IDEA when it would. Teller was nice. Anyway, it is there TODAY (Saturday) and RELIEVED!!!

Cashed in my tickets and bought more. Yes, I re-invest my winnings and have a stack to scratch off. Lol, you got to really READ the instructions with VERY STRONG GLASSES. Anyway, that stack will be done at some point BEFORE my next gas station trip. I go once a month. Wow, actually got money back on my card at Sheetz = gas prices decent for now. Some months it is like  😱😱😱.

*** So in spite of NOT WANTING to be out driving and dealing with folks YESTERDAY, EVERYONE was super nice and I must say made my day EXTRA SPECIAL ***

[1] Bank teller remembered me from last time. Lol, I had not remembered her = Senior Moment. Oh, there was only four of us there at 9am when lobby opened. Three old men and me. One was a Casanova and been awhile since someone flirted with me. I am still giggling.

[2] Another old guy, David - at Kroger. Got my $178.00 winnings from him before heading to buy more from their machine. He really knows his job.

[3] Then a youngster, Jennifer - at Sheetz, super nice.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

Luv you ALL,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

(3 comments) Oh my goodness Cadee @Cadee2719 , my daughter is trying to send me to an early grave. Laughing NOW, but girl - had a few hours of WORRY. My Diva decided not to check in today and so yours truly texted. No response. Called, left a voicemail. Then kept calling and texting. FINALLY she texts saying she had a ROUGH night. Lol, so I text back that I didnot appreciate all the worry and TRYING to hold off on calling the cops for a Wellness Check. I was going crazy. Anyway, she replies totally hurt that I didnot ask about her ROUGH night. Now keep in mind ever since her 4/11/24 Layoff, she has shutdown = does not want any questions. I need to go to Parenting School I guess/lol  💃💃💃  Can't seem to get it right!!!  🙄🙄🙄  So I am in her Dog House...

Hmmm, did your Son find anything?  🤔

Also, got your Medical Stuff set up?  🤔

Luv you SO MUCH Ms. Idaho,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[MarcyW882921]

Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT , 

I read this question recently and I don't remember where I read it or who said it or I would give them credit. The question you can ask a loved one, friend, acquaintance, etc. is..."Do you want to be helped, heard, or hugged?" I think using and/or rather than or alone works a little better, but I think the question is a great start to finding out how you can possibly stay "out of the doghouse."

Marcy

[SummerIsTooHOT]

Marcy @MarcyW882921 , luv it - the 3 H's!!!

Well, I want ALL three...  🙄🙄🙄

Luv you,

Thank you my dear Cadee @Cadee2719 ! Tennis and water aerobics for me today in beautiful sunny south Florida!

Good luck with your research and calls to find doctors. That is a difficult task that takes time.

It is wonderful to hear you sound so happy and great that you are getting a surprise visit in your new home. I love that you now have a chance to slow down, pace yourself, meet new people, and enjoy life. That is terrific!

How are you guys doing?  🤔

It is about 6:30am ET for me.

Remember there is a FREE Online Grief & Loss Event TODAY in about 5 hours. Still time to register.  👍👍👍

64 degrees, high of 86 today here in Cave Spring, Virginia. Summer is here and LAST day of school TODAY.  😭😭😭

Rain starting soon and suppose to rain for holiday on MONDAY. Hope so = my Neighbors From H.ll above me will stay off their balcony.  💃💃💃

Well, once again the Scratch Off Ticket Machine at Walmart had NO $1 tickets so yours truly bought one $2 one instead of two $1 ones. Won $2. ADDED to my envelope to cash out next week before heading to Sheetz for gas. IF I calculated correctly  🙄🙄🙄,  I should be getting $179.00. I cash out at Kroger. I AVOID Walmart Customer Service when I can.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.
