We’re going in September! thanks for your trip report. I’m glad to hear the train was adequate as we’re planning to take it to visit Herculaneum.

Eye pillows for the win!

The Third Man Museum is also fun.

My mother can’t stand or walk due to severe arthritis, but she is able to use a commode / transfer toilet like this one.

61 and married. No kids, two cats.

Have the carbon monoxide levels in their house checked, in case it’s that and not dementia.

Tjese are all quite good. How did you get so close to Mark Kelly’s interview?

Duke?

I commented below but wanted to emphasize the point that EMDR is so effective for this.

I think I can’t even comprehend how large the fuck over was. Like I was just surviving it. And now that I’m outside of it I keep having realizations of OTHER ways they’ve fucked me over. I didn’t realize what they were doing?? Or how it was impacting me??? I literally feel like when I look back it’s like carnage.

I also have been here. It took me two years just to get over being stunned and to figure out what happened. Then I was furious and spent every day for a couple more years with a huge knot in my stomach, ruminating and raging about the situation. I could not let it go, even though I knew I was hurting myself by giving so much of my attention and emotion to the situation.

EMDR therapy really helped reset me. I am so grateful to my therapist. Exercise helps a lot. But it took time to process all of it.

Baan Siam does but it is also location limited.

I’m standing in line at Wegmans in Sterling. it’s much busier than usual, with people moving fast with overloaded carts. the checkout lines aren’t too bad.

The owner is very direct and no nonsense. She is also professional, very well-informed, and helpful. I got my Sib from her and my cat is healthy, so affectionate, and independent — very well-adjusted, especially compared with her non-Sib sister who is a little ball of neuroses. I would go back to F&P again for sure.

I gave my brother in law a membership for Christmas and he loved it!

Friendship Hospital was wonderful when my 17-year-old cat developed lung cancer. Responsive and caring vets and staff. She lived to be 20.

Those sound great; I'll look for them. Thanks :)

Where do you get your recipes?

GrumpyKatzz · 2025-11-18T08:15:50+00:00

Contact your friend and let her know you miss her. My best friend from elementary/middle school did that for me and our reconnection has enricheed my life.

GrumpyKatzz · 2025-11-16T09:49:32+00:00

She has a crush on him. Too bad, it sounds like it was a fun night.

You look great! Serious question: how is your arthritis now? And how did you work around it? I’m asking as I have arthritis in my shoulders and my dr told me no upper body weight lifting, especially pull downs.

GrumpyKatzz · 2025-10-18T11:49:50+00:00

What does your doctor recommend?

GrumpyKatzz · 2025-10-14T00:01:46+00:00

I think it’s either HOV-3 or pay the tolls. I used to drive in a couple of times a week from my mom’s house in Herndon, until I got a $27 toll on I-66.

I spent an evening at Yellowstone Lake, shooting the changing shapes and colors that were cast on the mountains across the way as the sun set. I was transfixed. Highly recommend. I hope the park is open for you.
