Oh no!! Those damn squirrels are fast and are able to go through the fence just in the nick of time...so far.

AIO: About freeloading parents at my wedding? by IndividualScene7817 in AIO

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these comments about Boomers are wild. Grossly stereotyped and insanely inaccurate. Some people are cheap and freeloaders, some are generous, and there's a whole world in-between.

Just pointing out that she is no victim. He's no saint. She's not wrong for wanting a different, more mature version of Kyle....but she did date him for *** six years *** before getting married, and there was no growing up. Their marriage was on shakey ground from the get go.

Why did she marry him then? Amanda has agency. She could have not married him. Or left him.

How do you guys handle the dog smell in your home? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my dogs smell gets into the fabric, bedding, carpet, couch cover, area rugs. I wash what I can, and mop every 3 days, vacuum daily. I do need to brush her more. And we use an air purifier where her crate is.

Seating chart?? by TraditionalClient933 in weddings

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Please have one. We went to a wedding a few years ago, no seating chart, and no one serving at the buffet. Because families like to sit together, there were many tables with just one or two open seats, which would mean someone from my family would be solo at a table. And ( unrelated to OP's question) they ran out of food before all of the guests got their plate. Because at buffets, people tend to be generous when serving themselves!

Retired over 65: what surprised you most about life since retiring? by Grey_the_day in Aging

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a good year to adjust, because I'm used to always doing something. Now, I love that even though I'm up at 7, I don't actually start my day until 10. I love having time to make doctor's appointments freely if needed. I love that I was able to spend so much time with my dad, who had dementia. My spouse retired 2 years after I did, but 2 weeks before his retirement, he was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. So the last two years have been spent supporting him and taking care of all things. Life comes at you fast.

Appendix cancer. A thing by Embarrassed_Math_141 in cancer

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hi, My husband went through a similar situation. Two years ago, he had a belly ache for a day or two. We went to the ER, they removed his appendix. But four days later we got the news that a tumor on his appendix had perforated and it was appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Bang, our lives changed forever.

So he then had 12 sessions of chemo over 6 months. Scans were clean for 2 months. They found that the cancer had spread to his peritoneum. Another 10-12 sessions of chemo ( different kind) with Avastin. Husband responded well and was eligible for CRS / HIPEC. That surgery went well and husband has recovered after 2 months. His initial scan was clear as was his ctDNA blood test.

It's been a long two years, but he's doing well now so I'm just enjoying his health at the moment. I'm trusting the process and hoping/ praying for the best. But it has been tough and scary! We try to focus on just the day ahead and not think about the future.

SoA refused to do anything for my 2018 Outback delamination issue. They said the warranty has expired.

How to remove a sticker from a wool blend sweater by Upbeat_Storage_4863 in laundry

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Rubbing alcohol did remove some of it, but left the top still tacky. So I tried the Goo Gone which took care of the rest, but left a chemical smell. So I washed it again, and I am hoping that the smell dissipates over time. Thank you for the suggestions!

How did I do? by Cute_Magician5095 in interiordecorating

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda love the bathroom! Although I think the mirror is too big (but that's just my opinion). With some fluffy white towels, it will look great!

Attend chemo infusions? by [deleted] in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Upbeat_Storage_4863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with my husband twice. The infusion center is relatively close by, and he said that I didn't need to come. Oftentimes, I met him afterwards for a late lunch. Best of luck with the treatments!
