👋  Good Morning Everyone!!!

How are you guys doing?  🤔

Well, it is my 8am appointment today for my Oil Change.

Hate doing an EARLY appointment but with age have learn't it is best for two reasons.

[1] I get my car back TODAY/lol. Never fails, someone does NOT show up for work or they find something that needs to be FIXED.  🙄🙄🙄

So NOT leaving the other OLD LADY (2006 Hyundai Elantra) overnight when I can help it.

[2] I am back home BEFORE the "road rage" begins. Is it just me, but it seems I got the SUPER SIZE HOT RODS on my "bumper" when I am minding my own biz in the SLOW LANE. Hmmm, how about moving over into the other lane and passing me???  😤😤😤

I HOPE our MIA's are okay...

Luv you ALL,

Nicole  👵

Angel @coolslick , I know you had mentioned having a very hard time with this site and the only way you stop by is when you receive an AARP EMAIL with a LINK.

So I am HOPING you will stop when you can to see us AGAIN.

Sometimes we get an AARP EMAIL and sometimes we don't.

Anyway, heading to PM you the LINK to this area where we chat EVERY DAY.

We would luv to have you join us. As usual NO PRESSURE to do this.

Missing you,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

Marcy @MarcyW882921 , how long should I wait before I send a Search Party to locate you/lol.

On the serious side, I know you stay busy.

Hope you are well  🤗🤗🤗

[MarcyW882921]

Ha Ha Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT ! I am still here. I had an incredibly busy and wonderful weekend. Tonight I have my regular chorus rehearsal and tomorrow night I have rehearsal for a community chorus that I have joined just for an event later this month. The event is Make Music Day and it happens around the world on June 21st. This is Palm Beach County's first year to participate.

SO GOOD to hear from you Cadee @Cadee2719  💃💃💃

Lol, I am giving my daughter another 15 minutes before I call today. She said the last time I was blessed with an answer  🙄🙄🙄  that she has gotten responses. I just wish she would move to another state. Florida is NOT the place to be.

CONGRATS on your son getting a job!!!  💃💃💃

That is AWESOME with your medical stuff!!!

Luv you,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗

[SummerIsTooHOT]

👋  Good Morning Everyone!!!

How are you guys doing?  🤔

61 degrees here in Cave Spring, Virginia.

8am appointment TOMORROW to get my Summer Oil Change done. Yes, now do two each year since retiring = less driving. Next one will be in December with State Inspection.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

Luv you ALL,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

 Morning Nicole.  FINALLY got an appointment with a rheumatologist; November 6th!  Now I will attempt to get an appointment with a cardiologist and a family doctor.  How is your daughter doing?  I am getting close to completing my house.  I have about four boxes of "stuff" I should have never brought with me, so I am taking them to a boy's charity here.  My son completed clearance and got the job he wanted.  He seems to be settling in here.  My grandson promised to come and stay with me for Thanksgiving.  I have made several new friends here, but must admit there are days that I still cry and miss my son and husband.  I hope I will learn to cope better, but I wonder if I will.  One thing I love about Idaho is that it could be 10 o'clock and still daylight out!!!!  It amazes me.  I often discover that it is 8 or 9 o'clock and I have not eaten dinner yet.  My son asked me:  "Mom how do you feel being out at a store at 8 at night?" and I said I feel safe.  The only person that approaches me here is one asking "Mam, do you want this cart" or "Can I help you put those bags in your car."  As I said, I think I died and went to heaven. I wish the same for both you and Allen.

[MarcyW882921]

Well Cadee @Cadee2719 , I'm sorry your appointment with the rheumatologist is so far in the future, but it seems that is the case with specialist appointments these days. That is great that you made the decision to donate boxes of stuff you discovered that you didn't need. Someone will make use of them and you won't have to worry about unpacking them or deciding where the stuff could possibly fit! More good news about your son finding a job. It's also great that you are surrounded by new friends and polite people who are willing to help. I hope your new surroundings will bring you joy and help to reduce the number of tearful days.

Hi Benjamin @BenjaminM550041 , I am thinking about YOU!!!

(Saturday 6/8/24 8:36am ET)

Okay guys, I "is" back and ALL my replies are at the TOP of this forum.

Lol, makes it EASY to find them = NOT lost in the AARP "black hole" below.

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[SummerIsTooHOT]

Cadee @Cadee2719 , that was my concern while I could NOT log in = no way to contact the group. AARP really needs to UPGRADE this site.

[1] You and others could post while the rest of us could NOT. I was READING all the posts while NOT being able to log in.  😤😤😤

[2] Marcy @MarcyW882921 could PM me, you COULD NOT.

[3] But I am so glad something told me to TRY today after a week of total frustration.

[4] Thank you SO MUCH for caring!!!

Luv you SO MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

Marcy @MarcyW882921 , hmmm - I think we have another Social Butterfly in Cadee @Cadee2719 !!!!

I AM SO PROUD of you BOTH. An inspiration to me to NEVER give up on "figuring" out my life and what I NEED to do. Happy Dance DOUBLE TIME.  💃💃💃💃💃💃

Yes Cadee, excellent advice and one I will be following.

Lol, TOO OLD to be living like this!!!

Being a parent has been BOTH a blessing and a challenge.  🙄🙄🙄

Luv you SO MUCH,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

  Hi Nicole.  I, too sent my son a text asking how the clearance process is going.........crickets.  Is it us?   I am getting closer to getting rid of all the boxes; yet I have many, many boxes with the tools (i.e. grinders, huge electric saws, etc.) that he has not taken to his place yet.  Got my drivers's license and license plates.  I am an official Idahoan??  Today I am having my realtor and her husband who have been so kind and helpful come for dinner.  I am making beef stroganoff.  Wish my friends on this site lived close so I could have you all for dinner.  My neighbor just had a baby boy so I am going to make some lasagna for them.  I am getting back to being myself.  I go where I want to go with no fear.  My neighbors in CA still keep in touch and tell me things are getting worse there.  Still trying to connect with doctors here.  It is a long drawn out process.  They want records FAXED to them, not brought in by me, and a referral.  Crazy, I move to a new state, have insurance (which they take) and yet it is taking me weeks to get an appointment.  I am thankful that my doctors in CA are continuing the prescriptions until I get my new doctors.  Nicole I hope things improve at your place and you get some peace.  Perhaps you should begin to look around for a new place to consider.  Check it out during the day and night, talk to the neighbors to see what type of neighborhood it is, check the crime rate of the area, the surrounding parks, stores, etc.  Be safe.  Luv you!  ❤️  Once you find a place that you love and that is safe, you can relax and enjoy life.  ***]

  Hoping all is well with you.  Take all the time you need to relax and rest.  This site has come to a standstill without you, but it is more important to us that you are well.  Nicole, I credit YOU for bringing me to a place of peace and contentment after suffering through the most painful time in my life:  losing my husband, son and brother within months.  You gave me the strength to wake up each day and "take one step at a time", you referred books that I could read, you gave me sessions from AARP to attend and listen to.   You made it possible to talk to several friends on this site that were experiencing the same loss and sadness.   Without YOU I would not be where I am  today.  For an individual, such as yourself, to devote the time and energy that you do to this site is amazing and truly appreciated.  Just remember:  WE ARE HERE FOR YOU   We THANK YOU for all that you do.  Luv you ❤️  ***]
