...♡...but i want to add that i realize not all illnesses can be healed naturally, but my friend who did get ovarian cancer last year, is going to be a guest on a radio talk today about healing cancer naturally. She did do it! ~♡~ | |

Porter, we crossed and I didn't see the part about your daughter. I'm sorry that part is hard. Tillie, I want to pick at the problem until it goes away, but I will just send you a big hug. I think it's horrible that we are one of the richest countries in the world and people don't have food and health care! I don't know how old you are. (I feel like you are a little older than me because you are Mothery/big sistery) maybe you will be able to get help from Medicare? So awful to have to wait though. Update on me later. | |

Hi Tatoulia 🙂 Fingers crossed your tests come back A.O.K. ;D Was worried about my gladiolas maybe being dead from being walked on in the garden when we buried Marty. Been a good relaxing day today. | |

Oh Tillie it is so awful to be without health insurance. Just so terrible. I'm so sorry. I'll talk to you tomorrow. We are expecting snow. Nothing that will stick. It might even be pretty. My dr appiintment went well. Waiting for blood results--hopefully ok. | |

I got two big loads of laundry done yesterday and two today. Will work on kitty cat laundry on Wednesday. Tillie it is so cold here! Not spring at all!

Good Morning Everybody 🙂 Hi Porter 🙂 Hi Subclinical 🙂 Supposed to be sunny with a high of 70 degrees today so I am doing some laundry. | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 09 April 2018 - 04:26 AM |
Porter, I am very glad things are go8ng so well for you both! Tillie, it just doesn't seem right that they can count steven's income against you! Why do you even have to tell them Steven's income? What do your taxes say? I want you to have a new roof too. Tatoulia, it is great that you are keeping up with things, and that your mom is joining the clean out! Yesterday I identified three blouses and a skirt that can leave. | |

It felt like the end of the world when my life changed. with very little money after they were gone. Weeks of throwing out stuff they couldnt part with but now they cant keep. I will not keep it for them. I was about to walk out this morning. When I was struck by how unhappy I was. I loved my family . But we were all unhappy with eachother. The hoarding and nagging. Slowly I clear each area till I feel a love for it. my daughter visited Marcie and I last night. after the intial response time. My daughter just eanted to leave. Its likw my daughter just doesnt remember how depressing it all was for me . To be the only one trying to live in a normal house. It felt like I was in bliss then my daughter sounded just like wife. So hostile and unreasonable relentless verbal abuse . tillie. I get inspired reading and posting. I just cant live with the hoarding in my living space. | |

THANK YOU Tatoulia (((((HUGS))))) Hi Porter 🙂 We all need this safe place to "get it all out". | |
| Tatoulia | Posted: 08 April 2018 - 05:56 PM |
Oh Tillie. I am so very sorry. About all of it. I am so sorry. The only positive is that you were able to rant--you certainly have the love, admiration and good wishes of everyone here. Yes, I feel confident that in this regard, I speak for everyone. What can I say? Nothing, but I can listen. I hear you dear Tillie. And I know the cats love you. | |

Anony Luckily she just let me take over , , I did bring people In and when she found out I could tell it hurt her trust in me. This week , I went one closet at time. Through the house in clockwise order. Never working on it at night. She gave me a key to her house . I gave her a key to mine. Shopping, fire, dinner, bath , relax , and then off to bed. So I asked if we can ave another dinner party . Invite 8 friends .and keys do it once every three months. In the past with my first wife , I would have dinner parties just to keep us on our toes about a clean house . | |

Good Morning Everybody 🙂 Hi Anonymoniker 🙂 Hi Subclinical 🙂 Hi Tatoulia 🙂 Warning... Rant ahead! Well yesterday all my plans never happened. Rant over... Thank you all for allowing me this opportunity to get this all off my chest. | |

Good morning! Happy to read everyone's posts! I am getting back to my old self--it's taking a while but I'm starting to just clean things automatically. Yesterday I changed my sheets, started to dust in the bedroom, scrubbed bathroom sink and toilet, kept dishes where they belong, and scrubbed down one of my kitchen counters. This is merely maintenance, but it's something I used to do regularly and without thinking. And that's how those things were for me yesterday. I had 15 minutes before BF was picking me up and I thought, quick, do bathroom sink, vanity. It's good to feel like I'll be back to where I can just have people in. STILL A WAYS TO GO but I feel much more hopeful and positive. Getting mom out today. She has three bags for goodwill which is something of a miracle because she is resistant to getting rid of things. She's still in the "but I love that" stage, even with things that have long outgrown their use. She did this on her own. | |

We went to an empty bowls fundraiser for my food bank. We brought home two handmade bowls (I love mine and was very happy to spot it in the options - dh, as usual, picked one that made me roll my eyes) also I brought home my plastic spoon and I brought home my paper cup - which is already rinsed and in the recycling. Dh threw away his spoon and the fork he also used and the plastic cup he got his drink in. Dh bid on a bag of goodies from the music studio where he takes lessons (he wanted the gift certificate) and he won. Besides the gift certificate it included: a clip he is using to keep his music secure on his stand, a piano Christmas ornament which I will put aside for dil's stocking, the cloth bag which I will take to the food bank so they can give it out with food in it, and a religious birthday card with music references which he says I should recycle. | |

Anony, they are just the little plastic seed starter greenhouse, so 180 plants if they all sprout. I don't think it's disrespectful to reflect on Jesus to find strength for anything you need to do. Tillie, We get to choose our trees from a list. I have native redbuds and dogwoods, Cyprus for boggy areas, and evergreens for wind break, plus some kind of wild life friendly nut, but I forget what it is. Our ash trees are all dying from beetles, so they don't have those anymore. I could choose oaks, but we have enough mature ones that the squirrels take care of planting those. I love wind chimes! | |

Good Morning Everyone 🙂 Hi Subclinical 🙂 Here is something you all may not know... Everything here is very saturated today and it's still raining. | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 07 April 2018 - 06:57 AM |
Hello everyone! I've been reading along but not posting. I had a very demanding week at school. There is snow here again! I wonder if spring will ever come? I picked up our trees from the soil and water conservation department on Thursday, but planting them this weekend appears out of the question. Plenty of other things to play catch up on. I emptied my chest freezer and defrosted it so I can start stocking it with yummy cheese and ice cream. I have made some very small progress on the feed bag accumulation. I am down to one big tack box full of bags. I bought 5 disposable plastic greenhouses for seed starting this year. They generally last several years, but I want to figure out a solution so that I don't do that again. I am cheering for trailer clean up and hoping for the van! There was a man near here some years ago who had a house fire. He had accumulated a large collection of ammunition. Emergency personnel evacuated the neighborhood and let his property burn clean. Fortunately we are spread out and wet enough around here that that was an option. (We have had roads closed for flooding off and on all week, and the water level inside my barn is hovering around "wet, with occasional puddles") | |

Hi CM! I am so glad to hear from you. That is a shame about the van. I'm glad you have good company in your bunnies. There is always a brighter day ahead, dear friend. I don't have any experience with go fund me but I say, why not? You may find that people want to help you and don't know how to approach you. You may find that your campaign builds no traction. But why nit? There may be a kind soul or souls out there who would love to help you get a reliable vehicle. A lot of people use it and there may be a sense of "go fund me fatigue" but if you don't pin your hopes and dreams on it, I say why not give it a whirl. Goodnight everyone. I've had a cup of coffee so there's no telling when I will fall asleep. Anony I think Tillie was referring to your coconut oiled arms with all the debris--also let me know if the oil did anything for you. I looked at my arms the other day and someone had replaced mine with an old lady's arms. | |

Hi everyone, just a fly by. Sounds like lots of exciting things. My post is going to sound like Debbie Downer at least somewhat by comparison. But maybe there'll be some hopeful in it too. The van - the old one - finally got towed to the mechanic's a little while ago. Part of the holdup was the weather, part my sinus infection (it's almost gone), and part to do with crates of books I wish I'd gone ahead and gotten out of the van last fall. They are now cooling their heels at my storage unit, the books. I even plucked out a few to rehome. I'm not going to be able to afford a new-to-me van yet after all. My roommate was going to lend me the money. Then she had a dentist visit and some repairs on her car. It's okay for the moment. I do wonder if God was saying wait CM, don't overextend yourself just yet. So the big clunker gets fixed again. I've paid for the parts, and for last month's repairs. Hoping the labor for this won't be bad. I'm hoping that when it runs, I can try to figure out what I can do to bring in money some way that is legal and won't jeopardize my disability. Just to clarify and sum up - I'm on disability due to a combination of psych stuff. ADHD, OCD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic, and agoraphobia. All the years I did work I hopped from job to job mostly. The last full time job I had ended a decade ago. I quit because the stresses were mounting and I was in the doghouse despite my best efforts not to be. I had had high hopes that I was doing okay, it was two months after my mom had died, and I was keeping the panic attacks at bay. But the management was putting ridiculous pressures on us, we were short staffed, and it was just a train wreck. Two months after leaving I had seen doctors and was set up for my hysterectomy. I often wonder if I hadn't been thinking of blowing out my COBRA insurance and seeing a doctor for my lady issues, they might not have caught the tumor that, though not the aggressive type, might have led to cancer. So I guess I'm saying, God has mysterious plans and ways and even the things that seem horrible at the time they happen, are for a reason. I'm pretty wiped out at the moment. Going to have my prayer time and play with my bunnies and this evening roommate and I go run a few errands. Then Doctor Who and chill time, and tomorrow I can wake up and see what's what. I'm trying to discern whether to do a Go Fund Me or something. | |
