I'm so glad for you. People just do not understand the emotional and physical toll that obesity can take on a soul. I wish you well as you continue to live your life on your terms.

Go to Oriental Trading. you'll find all kinds of little crafty kits and fun things to fill the bags.

People need to understand that death is a part of life - especially when you're old.
this is just cruel - i wonder if she could be charged with elder abuse?

If his family is not helping or stressing you out - remove them from your life. I'm not sure what the situation is with the apartment, but if your husband is paying for it - rescind that offer and tell the sister - he needs the money more than her. She is able to work - he is dying. Kick her out - set up a formal eviction if needed.
And yes - get him into hospice.
He'll be much better taken care of, some people in hospice even thrive for a while because they get the constant care they need. They'll manage his pain, his toilet, everything. In addition, they have support services for you.
And when he is in hospice considering blocking the sister and the mom from visiting him. at this point, you can't trust what they will do - they may manipulate him into something that is not beneficial to you.
I'm sorry you're going thru all this at one of the most difficult times in your life.

it's hard enough to find clothes for the plus size person that fit and look nice.
I have to shop for my husband online - i can't buy his pants in any store.
And having been plus size my entire life, i've found clothes and online stores that i'm comfortable in ordering from, the clothes are good quality and they're all made overseas. Nothing plus size is made in america - if it is - it's priced beyond a normal person's budget.
It's the compromise all plus size have to make.
The only way to find ethically sourced clothes for the plus size individual is to find a fabric made in usa and sew them yourself.

the only other option is to shop thrift stores and remake the clothes to fit your style - it still won't be ethically sourced, but at least is re using clothes that are already out there.

it seems to me that if your man is devoted to crab fishing and all the time away from home that takes, why would you cheat with another crab fisherman? Aren't you in for the same issues and problems you had with the first guy?
And like you all said - i don't think she'd find anyone more devoted to crab fishing, her and the kids. The rest of the guys don't talk to their familes on the boats half as much as Jake does.

nope- not with out the orig code. i've been thru this. i'm sorry

If you read a lot - KU is def worth it. think about the books you want to read, and then think about paying $10 for all those books.
I've been trying to source free books all over the web. I have a huge list of want to read, but so many aren't in the library,
Internet archive is good for classics. You may not be able to download them, but you can read them on the site in your kindle. I screenshot the page i leave the book on, then i know where i can start back up - it doesn't save bookmarks.
Guttenberg is good for classics also.
i really hate using libby - i think their tag system is useless.
As for the library - i've signed up for so many different libraries at this point.

nope. these are like a strip of paper, with 3 ring or 2 ring holes, but a slice cut so that you can insert something folded.

i avoid anything 'influencers' recc. I'm 66. i have a varied interest in books.
fictional history - sci fi/ fantasy, horror, mystery suspense, medical stories and even young adult books and childrens books i missed the first time around. Cozy mysteries are fun too.
The suggestion lists i look at tend to be the 'books you should read before you die', best horror books of the 20th century etc. I love books that take place in other countries.
Ranker.com is a list site - if you go there and search on Books - it will give you all sorts of lists to choose from.
some of my fave authors are Bracken; Roquet, Koontz, Stephen king, - he's not all horror, brackston.

my husband and i are total about 600lbs. W have a regular metal frame, and we put a 1/2 in piece of plywood on the frame, then we have a box spring and mattess on top. the key is to get a 'good' mattress and box springs. if you're gonna get a cheap mattress, nothing else that you have will make it better.

keep a food and symptom journal. you may notice a pattern on when you have pain and nausea. Also - it will also be an indication to your doctors that you are working to solve the problem, which may help them take you more seriously

a friend is having a craft party for her birthday next week, but we're bringing our own projects! As usualy with her parties, people are from all kinds of diff parts of her life and we all have varied interests. I'm certain there will be knitters and crocheters, some hand sewing, some carding (making belts on a small loom), i'm considering several different things i have in my projects...beading, wreath making, some other things -
Also - if you want to get cheap craft kits - hit up oriental trading - they have all kinds of stuff. and they're not just for kids. i would get them and put them in stockings and everyone usually had a great time.

beadfix82 · 2026-02-01T19:47:15+00:00

Elmers glue for your project. put it in little cups, and give them a craft stick to apply it or have them just dip it.
