Just need to talk to my friends (199)

I often use the Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Cream in the white tube. It's very similar to the Aveeno version as they're both made by J&J. I like both; I prefer a cream with glycerin rather than one that feels greasy and these tick that box. I have a friend who worked there and bought stuff at the company store, so we've tried many over the years. Sometimes I layer on cuticle cream, handcream and then apply a coat of Vaseline and a pair of neoprene gloves for an hour or so while I watch TV. That gives me skin like a child.

The game changer for me was swapping out my gel-based liquid hand soap for Dove Advanced Care Hand Soap (In the pump) on the recommendation of my derm. I wash my hands constantly and it helps a lot. Still, despite my best handwashing and cleaning strategies, I caught DS's cold. Neither of us tested positive for COVID fortunately. This is not great. I'm supposed to take mom to the dentist and urogyn surgeon on Tuesday and hair Wednesday. I suppose I can mask up and leave the car windows open, but I really don't want her sick while she's healing. I could Uber her to the dentist and the salon— I don't need to be a part of that magic, but the surgeon is a good 45-minute drive away. UGH.

Good morning

The reason I don't want to buy evaporated milk is because the ingredient list doesn't just say milk lol. I like learning new things too.

Shirley its good to hear from you. Im so sorry you and others are having to go through this. How is your family?

Hi my porch friends. Lots of football on Sat and Sunday, with a Chief's win! That's always a good thing for us.

I've been busy on the patio and lanai the last two days. I've tossed stuff and its quite clean and neat. Now to keep it that way. As much work as this has been for me, I think I'll keep it neat and tidy. It wasn't a hot mess by any means, just things not in their correct spots. It finally got to me!

David I'm glad that the medicine is working for your restless legs.

Back later. The hurricane and its aftermath are so devastating. Hoping everyone is doing as best as they can.

We were out of power for 2 days and no cell phone or internet!

Family is ok. Kids are lost with no internet!

Still have no power in several areas, with it being farm land it is hard to get to. We have power companies from Virginia, Alabama, Ohio coming to help. A group of ladies are bringing change of clothes to men working and cleaning their dirty ones.they are working around the clock to fix the power. Several churches are feeding the workers and people with no power.

Some dams on the rivers are overflow ing or broke flooding all home below dams.

We may have another hurricane coming!! Pray that it turns or miss our area Ga,SC,Tenn,and NC

Do weevils make web?Weevils are tiny worm-like insects (from grain/rice weevil larvae) and web-like silken threads (produced by the meal or weevil moth) that appear in our produce in the pantry are commonly referred to as weevils.

Good evening

Shirley glad you are ok. Glad the guys from Ohio are able to come help. We have been helped before by others so glad we can give back. Know those guys appreciate clean clothes and food.

Messaged with my niece today and they did not have power in their home but their town now has power back. She said the roads are cleared so they can go to town and get food and charge their power banks etc.

I am being affected by the verizon issues but none of my sisters are. At home i have service because my wifi is thru a different company and i can use it. Won’t work when I'm out but i have a tracfone so can use it if need be.

Good night

I'm glad power is being restored in some areas.

JeriLynn, what type of toy is Cash playing with? He's a good looking pup!

I heard good news today. Drivers in California over 70 won't have to take the written driver's test to renew their licenses. That's great news for me! I could not remember all those questions about lines of different colors on the road. We just need to take the vision test. Every few years I take the driving refresher for older adults sponsored by AARP. It's very helpful.

Good Morning and Happy October!

Iris, Cash is looking for treats! Each of the white hickey-things slide back and forth to reveal a treat. The GD got it for him. It keeps him occupied for a bit. He's a sweet dog but very skittish. When the rescue people found him, he had been abandoned on a country road. They had to chase him. He still has some of those traits until he knows you. And, though he is loving, he is very independent as is common to his breed. He's smart and observant. He "herds" the great granddaughter, lol.

Today is follow up with the ENT for DH. The vertigo is gone, thank goodness.

DH's granddaughter, boyfriend and dogs should be moving out again this evening. I'm running out of ideas for vegetarian dinners, lol. Last night I made two sets of quesadillas. Meat and meatless, Spanish rice with every veggie I could throw in the pan, refried beans and chips/salsa. It's not that they expect me to cook but I feel like I must. And I want to. The GD had a rough morning yesterday.

They left the camper to come here so the thing could back for electrical repair the shop caused. By the time she got here, she texted to see if we were up. I went out to help with the dogs. One of them had diarrhea in the backseat of her car! Thank goodness she has the "good" seat protectors. So I helped get the dogs out, washed with the hose, cleaned the seat protector and by the end she was in tears. 😢 I think she is just so overwhelmed with life right now. DH is a jokester and so I came inside while she settled the dogs and whispered, "please be gentle, she's already in tears this morning". And he was. So, by midmorning she was smiling again. Being a grown up with big girl responsibilities can just be hard. I'm glad we were here to help.

Well, coffee's ready. Have a good day.
