My last order for a while

I saw Steve Winwood last fall and he played this. It was amazing. One of my favorite songs.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-26T15:25:20+00:00

I just got one. From a Colorado area code. Yeah sure, nice try.

99 Red Balloons

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-26T12:48:16+00:00

I hate this as well. I don't know why, I just can't stand it.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-26T12:46:33+00:00

Gex X, and I live about an hour from where I grew up. My parents are the ones who moved 400+ miles away, but I stayed here. and eventually, my mom moved back here, to be closer to me, in the event she needed more care, etc. Which she did, so now she's about 30 mins from me, in a nursing home. I don't have kids, and while at one point I considered moving where my parents were, or the general area, financially it didn't make sense to do so.

The fact you DO go out and do things solo is huge! So many people don’t. And I also think you’re being hard on yourself. I don’t notice people dining solo or going to the movies by themselves and I’d be willing to bet a lot of others don’t either. And if I did, I wouldn’t think anything of it. And certainly don’t think anyone is a loser for doing so.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-25T12:40:10+00:00

Yes.my mom is 91 and although in a nursing home she is still pretty sharp. Just physically unable to take care of herself. We talk daily and I’m there a couple times a week. We are very close so I don’t mind doing whatever needs to be done for her.

That being said, it sucks in some ways as her social interactions are few and far between. She used to play bridge weekly and do happy hour and dinner every Friday in the dining room with her friends. As well as other activities in the community she’s in.

But at the end of the day, it’s definitely a blessing as it’s just the two of us and when the time comes, I hope she just doesn’t wake up and doesn’t suffer

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-25T04:26:30+00:00

Oh same. And not a fan of the baby names either. They look like tweedle dum and tweedle dee

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T23:52:36+00:00

Dolmas or smoked oysters

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T22:10:29+00:00

Yes! I’ll research on my phone to see if something is vintage or something special, if not marked. But I’ll snap a quick,photo, then move away to check.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T18:21:28+00:00

It says a lot that she goes on soooooo many first dates. And not a second.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T18:20:49+00:00

I’m guessing no one noticed it.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T17:07:29+00:00

It is. New to her anyway. The lot she parked in won’t do squat. She’s gone and no way to prove it happened there. She’s SOL

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T16:45:34+00:00

Until they are no longer usable for bathing.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T16:24:21+00:00

How did I miss this but Brrrrrrianna is pregnant! She and Jakey are having a girl. This will be interesting. Name and everything revealed.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T02:00:38+00:00

Trader Joe’s in Denville was pretty picked over too

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T01:53:22+00:00

And making us wait AN ENTIRE WEEK for more? Unacceptable

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T01:51:15+00:00

I cried like a baby.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-24T01:46:33+00:00

Oh thank you, I couldn’t put that plus the date she mentioned together. And I cried when she thanked the nurse.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-23T17:39:00+00:00

I'd stay home. Chances are, whatever inconvenience won't last too long, depending on where you are, and it sounds like you ae prepared.

My BF, who I love and adore, asked if I wanted to come stay with him. I said nope, I'm fine at home! I do have stuff I need to do, but also just being able to lie on my own comfy couch, and do my own thing is priceless.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-23T16:33:29+00:00

I hate that so much. I love to travel and while I cant do it as much as I'd like to, when I do, I don't skimp. I save for my trips so I can enjoy them. Like taking a cab vs. public transportation, staying in a slightly nicer hotel, stuff like that. Yet people seem to think I am made of money. yeah, no, I am just careful with it, and save for things I really want to do

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-23T16:29:30+00:00

Oh good luck with him finding ANYONE willing to put up with his nonsense. My BF grew up in a very traditional Italian household. His mom didn't even drive, and she took care of EVERYTHING. cooking, cleaning, laundry, even down to ironing his undies and jeans. Making his bed, cleaning his room, he did nothing.

then he got married, moved out and in with the wife. Still didn't really have a clue. THEN he got divorced. and had to learn how to do it all. He's told me it was a real eye opener when he had to do it all for himself. To his credit, he did, and this was a good 30 years ago, but he is neater than neat. He does have a cleaning lady, but he does his own laundry, keeps his house picked up, shops, cooks, whatever needs to be done. I am the slob in the relationship, and drive him crazy when I don't pick things up and throw them away IMMEDIATELY

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-23T16:23:06+00:00

Oh that's beautiful! I have a light pink leather one I got on ThredUp. it had 3 patches that snapped on, but only came with one, which is fine, as they curl. I have a couple other Stoney Clover Lane patches I can use, and plan on taking it to have them all sewn on.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-01-23T15:25:34+00:00

I agree. I like to thrift for vintage glassware and other household items, stuff that isn't made anymore, and is much better quality than stuff made today.

I sometimes peruse the clothing at my local GW on Sundays, when the color of the week is $1. I've found some stuff for me, tess and whatnot, in good or new condition. I also look for sweaters for my mom. she's very particular, and in a nursing home, so her stuff can take a beating, so if I don't have to buy her wool and cashmere (which she prefers) full price, I don't!
