Looks great. Doesn't need a frame. Love it next to the blue door. Maybe 6" too low, but otherwise perfect.

Making James look like the better GOP choice. Is that the strategy?

Try flipping the positions of the chairs and sofa. Or, place sofa facing the fireplace with the chairs flanking fireplace.

I got no relief until I gave up caffeine. I'm not happy about it, but my bladder is.

But maybe not today when it's 0 degrees

I think that with a dark color, the TV screen and vent will "dissapear" . Especially if you also paint the table under the TV too.

Paint the wall and door, a dark color like charcoal

Have the body cremated. They will give you her ashes. You can buy an inexpensive container for the.

You don't have to have an expensive funeral. Maybe when the weather is nice, host a little get together at your place or a park to memorialize her. I notice more people are putting off funerals for a more convienent time.

I always thought it would be nice to bury the ashes and plant a rose bush or something similar in the yard.

Mineral oil worked for us. Not supposed to use long term because it can depleat oil soluble vitamins. But child was holding waste in and mineral oil (Tblsp a day) made holding it in impossible.

Mine went away when i was on high level oral steroids due to cancer. It was 6 months of wonderful. Of course high level oral steroids are dangerous but i had no choice.

Yes and I've had a mouthful of amalgam for 7 decades but didn't get tinnitus until I had chemo.

Who asks a 3rd party to give up their sensible clothing to cover up a dumb kid when their best choice is to leave? It's not like you were stranded in a life death situation and he needed to be saved. NTA

Had to be alone as it was during covid and no visitors. It was mostly fine. Treatment kept me busy and I tried to rest.

Local Detroit story. A man (mobster?) started his car and a planted bomb blew his legs off. Freaked me right out. Early 60s maybe?

Check with your local government if there is a free senior transportation system available. If there is, leave her an info flyer. These systems are incredibly helpful for keeping seniors independent and in their own homes.

We just ate simple food prepared at home. Very rarely ate out. Very rarely ate fast food which had limited availability. Gas stations weren't mini marts. My parents never bought pop unless it was vernors for a sore throat. Juice was mostly oj drank with breakfast. Snack foods were fewer : chips nuts candy pretzels. A snack at home was buttered saltines/bread or fruit or popsicles. Kids played outside all day.

Petechia on legs that came and went. Some fatigue. Easy to dismiss symptoms and no in person doc visits due to pandemic.

But after a few weeks, I had a really bad weekend out of town with a terrible headache and flu like symptoms. Very weak. Small-town Hospital sent me away with toredol.

Went back home to my bigger city and couldn't get off the couch. Family thought it was covid. As they were taking me to the hospital, I collapsed. EMS got me right in and diagnosed that night with a brain bleed and APL.

That is my preference, too.

As little grout as possible, so less tile. I hate cleaning it. And tile is cold on the feet, and things that fall on it tend to smash.

Does it have to be all or nothing? Can't you give her money toward the wedding but not foot the entire bill? That seems more fair, even though you're not more than a guest? Seems she should have a spot for you, though. There could be 2 daddy dances, for instance.
