Hi Nicole!

@SummerOnTheWay1

What’s happening is that some of my FAV PORCH PEEPS, besides you & Dave @DaveMcK, are not seeing my replies to the messages they posted to me. For example, I wished a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY on 05-11-2024 and 05-10-2024 to @catwoman500 @MsStretch and @LaDolceVita & don’t know if any of them saw my messages.

like in these links: to @LaDolceVita https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555911#M84978

to @catwoman500 https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555914#M84979

and @MsStretch https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555915#M84980

so if they happen to see this, I’ll say again:

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO YOU!

Hope you’re all doing well! Please have a wonderful week too!

Stay safe....&...Take care!

Also where am I supposed to start a new post within the PORCH, for peeps to see & comment if they wanted to, like to share my new flowers?

MY NEW FLOWERS

Anyhoot.... we’ll talk again later

@Therapist4u , sorry I've been lax on catching up. Belated thanks for the Mom's Day greeting even though I'm not a mother (unless you count the adopted furkids 😉).

@LaDolceVita , l♡ved the picture of Janie and Tiggy.

@Frozenoem , take care of yourself.

Everyone, stay 🆒. Summer is just beginning.

Tens of thousands without power, schools canceled after storms

Tornadoes reported west of Wausau, Wisconsin on Tuesday night, leaving widespread damage.

May 21st Storm Damage

Here are a few images from the storm damage in the Madison, Wis area. Nowhere near the carnage of Iowa, so we got very lucky. Forty some thousand where without power. It could take days to restore power to the west side of the metro area.

Just a handy-dandy hint. If you use the Reply▽ option beneath a certain post, your reply will appear below that particular post, which makes it seem out of whack. If you use the Reply to the topic... option at the bottom, it will fall in line with the whole thread (with newest posts at top or bottom depending on your settings).

Hi @MsStretch !

Thanks for the heads up....

Since I’m not ...as they say..... “tech savvy”....(nor that smart anyway....LOL!) if we are trying to post to a specific PorchPeep...like I am here to you....the ‘tag’ is supposed to notify you, or like some get emails **(I only get a few seemingly random notifications) & since some peeps can only come here once or twice a week,... replies may take a while) & then it does seem to get ‘lost’ in the shuffle over time....

However... if we are trying to post to a specific PorchPeep, but we post a “Reply to the topic”... then how would an ‘esteemed member’ know to look for it? ....such as yourself....or @LaDolceVita @catwoman500 Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 & Lee @LeeS4949 (& others of course) and Froze! @Frozenoem [Well...I hope he’s OK ...(if someone’s talked to, or with him, be it a chat, a PM or phone call & could let us know, it would be a great relief!) ) & I do miss his wit & wisdom....]

(Also ...it’s always easy to post a message to Dave @DaveMcK ...as he has posts almost every day)

Anyway,....Thanks for the ‘handy-dandy hint’ info & trying to help!

Hope you, your FAM, & your adopted FURKIDS...are enjoying the nicer weather!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

As always...Stay safe....&...Take care!

@Therapist4u Tsk, tsk, do not sell yourself so short. @MsStretch I did not know about different reply options, always respond to individual posts.

Altho you mentioned about the high pain levels you’re experiencing ☹️ (as I do, & can relate .....but I do have meds, 3 new Ortho Surgeons (one specializes in the spine & back, one for the hand & one for the knees & hips &..&..) & others that are trying to keep me in 1 piece LOL!) 😊

I’m so happy to know you’re “making progress.” 🙏

Additionally, you have us for therapy!

@Therapist4u , @Frozenoem I am sorry you guys are suffering with pain! Hope both of you feel better soon. All is well with me & mine. Chronically short on time and it just does not get better. I have less 'to dos" than when I moved here, less people less dogs, still I am under water time and energy wise.

Hi @LaDolceVita !

Thank you so much for caring about us!

Over time I’ve become more thankful for this group of PORCH PEEPS, who are kind & thoughtful & whom I also care about! While we accept the limitations of ‘chatting’ here, such as delays in replying with peeps, that are living their lives & chime in when they can, to me it’s worth it!

AFA the pain levels Froze deals with, I really am concerned for you....but just having you post here is a relief.... that you’re at least OK enough to do so...& always, with your ‘infamous’ wit & wisdom! LOL!! 😊

AFA the pain levels I deal with, I spend lots of my time making appts, & calling the pharmacies about medicine shortages & to the various healthcare providers (Most of the time on hold...LOL!) about therapies & MRI or X-RAY & other test & lab results & arranging rides to & from Docs (as I’m now by myself & with no transportation other than what Medicare provides)...but I’m SO GRATEFUL for what I do have, ...

& no matter how much stuff gets messed up & painful, hurtful, frustrating etc, etc ....

I always end each night with a personalized ‘gratitude 🙏 prayer’!

As always, ...Stay safe....&...Take care!

Hey, Porch Peeps,

Finally have some time to respond. Waiting for the AC guy to come and do the yearly maintenance check.

He just texted that he’s on the way. What are the odds that they actually arrive in the window that they say they will? LOL

@LaDolceVita and @Therapist4u …it’s the weirdest thing… now all of a sudden, I’m getting emails about posts like I used to. Maybe I can keep up now? Or will they ghost me again?

Glad the trumpet is sounding, @LaDolceVita

@Frozenoem …we were too far south here in PA for the northern lights, and it was also cloudy. I hear you about the pain…sure wish you well.

My PT has ended and I certainly can do all the exercises here, but I miss the encouragement from the great PT people I had working with me.

@MsStretch…after all the excitement I had about the “reply to topic” button, I don’t even see it!

Oh, well….

Stay well, Peeps!

Hey, Peeps! Thought I'd share today's experience...

What a fun morning at the Driver’s License Center. I needed to get my photo license renewed and I also decided I better get my Real ID thing in case I ever needed it. So… armed with all the necessary info and documents, I headed out to the center.

Yikes! The last time I was there was during the pandemic, and they had “senior hours.” I had parked in a handicapped spot right in front and looked with dread at the line that wound around the building…but a nice man came out and took me right in and got me a ticket, easy peasy. NOT THIS TIME! LOL

I did get a H parking spot right in front, but this time the line was inside…

Oy! What a madhouse that was. A long snaky line between posts like the airport, just to get a ticket. The sweet lady in front of me said she'd hold my spot if I needed to sit down.
When I finally got to the ticket guy I said what I needed and he asked for the required documents. (If you ever need to use a utility bill for address identification, make sure it's not one you've already paid. Apparently there was no zip code on the bill that I brought in. Luckily I had brought in my car registration, so that worked. Then I sat and filled out the Real ID form while I waited for my number to be called. OMG…With all the numbers being called to 11 different stations, it was hard to hear.
Finally I got to a person, and when she was finished with me she sent me to the photo person. Will get my license with Real ID star on it mailed to me in about 15 days. I got there about 9:00, and was done by about 10:15, but it felt way longer. Whew! I’m not used to all the chaos.

Hope your mornings were a lot more fun than mine. I need coffee badly!

Hee Hee!

Discoveries of the day don’t bend down And breathe while tying shoes. With sufficient pain I surpass swearing and enter the screaming stage.

Went from 82* to 62 to 70* on the space of an hour thunderstorms and hail for a first .Got my first dimple in steel roof.

Next week will know if relief is on its way, new wonder meds on the way.

@Therapist4u

Which reminds me Martin’s Point cover the same formulary as VA or TriCare.No bills😎Only for Maine based residents but, will cover things without pre-approval in other states.and/or provinces but, I’ve been with them for awhile.

@LaDolceVita

What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. Or Old adages are just so much 💩.You’re aware you live in the country when even Wally World say your too far to deliver to, 1/2 an hour away, think they’re afraid of moose.
