Can We Talk?

MyGirlsMom — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 18:28:29 GMT

We've had a few good discussions on other threads about drinks, recipes and pets, so as not to derail a thread, we're going to start anew. For those of us who want to discuss any and everything.

What an expensive week! Our dishwasher, dryer and hubby's car have bitten the dust. In addition to purchasing the appliances, we'll need to pay the propane company to install the dryer and a plumber to install the dishwasher.

We've had some rain over the past two days or so! Not a downpour, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it's been wet outside

Oh, and I tried a new recipe from my guy, Kevin: coleslaw with blue cheese dressing. I lightened it up with lite mayo and lite sour cream instead of regular, and it was really good.

I'm so sorry for saying this but your problems just made my day!!! I have just gone through a period of one thing after another breaking and needing major repair or replacement but in light of a dishwasher, dryer and a car my woes became petty inconveniences.

Hope your cycle of things breaking is over (mine too please).

Our weather has continued to be mild. I'm not complaining! No horrible heat, so far.

MGM, I read that you had eye surgery, I hope all is well and that you've recovered. I had my own problem with an eye, a little over a year ago, I was so lucky to completely recover.

Things breakding down DOES seem to go in cycles, I hate that.

MGM- I always happens that way, all at once. SMH- Sorry about that.

Noel, we got a lot of rain in a very short time period a few days ago. Some areas of the city don't have very good drainage, so we had flooded streets and stranded motorists.

They should have called the sleep study, "Lets see how uncomfortable we can make you and then tell you to go to sleep" study!

Our weather has been unseasonably cool for July ... which is just fine with me as I don't really care for summer. I've been in this reading mode ... you know how it is ... one book right after the other.

Marp, we've learned to laugh at stuff like this because we know there's a whole lot more worse out there.

Hi bette

Some parts of the Bay Area flood easily, too. I hope it's returned to normal for you.

Yep, last spring I had double cataract surgery.

Funny, it has been that kind of week here too! My son's AC went and in getting a new one, we realized how desperately we really need replacement windows. He also took the opportunity to show me how much he needs a new mattress, and wow he really does. Oh well, I'll have to do what I have to do!! A little less QVC shopping, a little more home improvements!

SoX,

I pre-ordered "Go Set a Watchman in book form...nothing like turning pages!

Don't know why I keep putting off having my eyes examined for new glasses ... I really need a change of frames to get with the program.

I saw a pair of frames that were just what I wanted ... until I looked at the price ... sticker shock!
