Definitely making something and being able to use it feels very good.
I crochet very little when I was very young.
Mostly the whole concept to take a string ( yarn) and make something with it was so foreign to me.
I will say it's nice to get a excited about something, no matter what it is. I had my plants and outside work, freezing vegetables, been feeling like I needed something new.
I know that this isn't popular vote but I love the weather we are having. Highs of 50 and sunny. This is my happy weather.
Anyway, who cares about matching? Especially when it comes to outerwear. Yay for finishing the scarf and sparking your creativity - it’s the perfect time of year for that. DD is the knitter and crocheter in our family, I did a couple baby sweaters and an ‘af-uh-gan’ (as my DGM used to call them) but was never very good at either.
way - I'm so sorry about your sis. Sounds like nephew is handling it well. Mil is gong to do what she wants to do, safe or otherwise. It's a waiting game,sn't it? I am so thankful my years of mother care are over.
doggiemom - you know what your mother is like You know living with her is going to be stressful. Isn't it time to look after yourself, rather than living in strife all the time?
I have to work, otherwise I would have helped my nephew with the move , but luckily a friend is available . But I wish I could be there to back him up with my sister . I drove out this past weekend and told her to treat her son better ( than she has been ).
MIL is a big problem . 😩😩
Meanwhile mother in law fell outside her house again . At this point she should give the EMTs a Christmas bonus .
If you intend now to live with an OCD mom who doesn't much care for your dogs for the duration, the honestly there isn't much left to say to my mind. You are out of the frying pan now, and into the fire. I can only wish you good luck. But this is CHOICE on your part. That kind of takes away any rights to talk a whole lot about how unpleasant it is. This truly is your choice. Given that, take it on happily and whole-heartedly. Refrain from talking about how bad it is, because that, if you know what I mean, only makes the hard times worse and makes them more set in stone, a litany you repeat for no good reason. Just accept it is difficult to live with ANYONE but this is who you wish to live with, and make it the best you can.
And to add, I see a lot of people my kids generation, waiting my generation to treat there dogs like they would if they were are grandchildren.
I suspect that is a generation gap thing.
And there is nothing wrong with it either way. But I think my sons generation shouldnt be angry or annoyed at my generation if we don't.
We had a horrible time getting my step daughter to understand that. She tried so hard to bring her 2 huskies, in are home, and are 3 cats hated them and they stayed in the basement when she was here, trying like heck to pawn her doggy duties off on us. In the end it ended very ugly, which is sad for her because, me and her dad , could of been much help to her in life, but she didn't want that help she wanted to take over my home , with constant dog fur, honestly they where just destroying everything.
I do know that is not what you are doing, but I'm a firm believer, that if say my stepson, that lives upstairs, wants a dog we all have to want a dog also. If any of are kids just assume they are moving in and bringing there dogs with them, that is a GIGANTIC no from both of us.
I love dogs, but I won't even dog sit. I had a neighbor wanted me to feed her dog while the went away, I said NO, because I new that would keep happening, I have a life and I don't want my time taking up with others pets. If I want a dog I'll get a dog!
I do on occasion, sit for one neighbors dog, but that's only because it when he absolutely needs to do something.
I can imagine have OCD it must be even harder for mom.
Alva, I just googled your museum, look like a really great place to go. Hope your trip goes better this time,!
Speaking of meet and enjoy, I am heading to our DeYoung Museum next week to meet a friend and see the Lempicki exhibit. Will be the first time I have been there since I managed to knock down a perfectly nice doctor, aged 85. Or we knocked into one another and he was the one to go down. A bit nervous. Will be watching where I am going this time!
I am assuming that NO ONE here has heard from Need. I do not believe she would voluntarily leave us this long with no one here having an explanation; she was too devoted to this site. It makes me really sad not to know anything about this. Now RealyReal is off grid, too? But I think she does have a busy life other than us.
Bundle, you will be missed! I see you out there making another collection of one-liners for us, or hoping we will forget the others you did before. For me, that's a given, that forgetfulness thing.

🥰 Meeting someone accidentally,
then having them become a huge part of your life.
You want to drive an OCD person crazy put them in a room with a dyslexic. 😂🤣
I don't think going to my son is the answer, because my eating issues, was due to my unhappiness in my marriage. I don't know if that's it or not but I feel like going to him isn't the best place.
When I didn't want to eat, not a lot helped. If people came to me, then I'd push them away. Her sister battles or did anorexia. So I'm really unsure, I doubt if there is anything I can do.
She looks fragile, and weak. I think it disturbs me so much because she reminds me of me at her age.
I just don't know if I should say something or sometimes it makes it worse.
I know there is no good answers, and I have to think on this, it's just much on my mind.
It's not healthy for mom or you. We all get a bit set in are ways the older we ger
