The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Monday gratitudes… Posted by Cindy on 1/19/2026, 11:14 am Care to share?

Mine Posted by Cindyh on 1/19/2026, 10:53 pm, in reply to "Monday gratitudes…" An end hopefully to a very busy week Happy to have gotten a crown that came off put back on! Grateful that it’s just 10 days when I wake up to surgery Getting things done. Hotel booked. Stuff for John to change the oil before we go (if it warms up ). All of you. I’ve missed you!

You were missed Posted by Delta on 1/20/2026, 4:11 pm, in reply to "Mine" as well! I wondered where you were. Hate it about the crown, but glad that you could get in and get it taken care of. I hope that the weather does warm up before you go.

They say it won’t Posted by Cindyh on 1/20/2026, 5:24 pm, in reply to "You were missed " Are you ready for this weather coming this weekend???

Might as well be. Posted by Delta on 1/20/2026, 10:53 pm, in reply to "They say it won’t " Can't do anything about it. We have a generator in case the power lines go down. We have an emergency heater that runs on propane if that fails. I will fill some buckets with water so we can sue the toilet. We have water to drink and food to eat. I can't get much more ready. I don't know what we will do if the roof caves in or a neighbor's tree falls on the house. We'll just deal with that however we can if we have to. How about you if you do get it?

We’ve missed YOU! … Posted by Cindy on 1/19/2026, 11:24 pm, in reply to "Mine" Good to see you posting your grats today! I’ve been praying that all goes smoothly leading up to your surgery! 10 days and counting!! Glad you got your crown put back on!

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 1/19/2026, 5:21 pm, in reply to "Monday gratitudes…" 1) enjoy my job at the radio 2) enjoy my job at the Auction Hut 3) watching Canada's Drag Race and really enjoying it 4) while I watch, U CUBII 5) heading for another loss this week - YAY!

You just Posted by Delta on 1/20/2026, 5:08 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" took me back to childhood. One of my uncles used to drag race, so we went to the races a lot to watch him. At some point, he quit, and I haven't been back since. I don't watch it much on TV but I love the walk down memory lane this triggered. Work it girl!

Love Drag Races Posted by Cindyh on 1/19/2026, 10:50 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" My ex husband raced 1/8th mile. Don’t know what kind you’re watching but we did it and I had a show car. Many many years (decades)

I love you :) Posted by Krista on 1/20/2026, 1:17 pm, in reply to "Love Drag Races" This is a different kind of drag - like Rupaul, men dressing up as women drag!

LOL, I wondered Posted by Delta on 1/20/2026, 5:10 pm, in reply to "I love you :)" but you still triggered some good memories for me.

mine Posted by Beverly on 1/19/2026, 12:31 pm, in reply to "Monday gratitudes…" I (Mike and I) sold Murray's van via Carvana. It was easy and a fair price. Fill out the forms online. They give you a price according to it's condition, etc. Set up a time. Have the title, keys, photo ID, etc. The man inspected the car and it was as described. Create a check (or you can do direct deposit). They come and get it with a car transporter. No having to sell it to dealer or put an ad in something. I recommend it. Mike did many things around the house that are helpful to me. Last night went to Mikes for Chinese food. I had egg drop soup. It was good and fun to see all the kiddos. New toy for the kitty. She loves it. You wonderful ladies.

I am glad that you had Posted by Delta on 1/20/2026, 4:20 pm, in reply to "mine" a good experience with Carvana. My oldest grandson used them for one of his cars, and they offered him the best price anywhere he took it. Everything went quickly and smoothly. Egg Drop soup sounds good. You just reminded me that I have three super-easy egg drop soup recipes that I used to make for lunch (one is labeled as Italian Egg Drop Soup). I need to get those out and start making them for lunch.

I’m glad Posted by Cindyh on 1/19/2026, 10:48 pm, in reply to "mine" That was painless for you. I wondered if it was as easy as they said. I was just talking about egg drop or wonton soup

AWESOME re Carvana Posted by Krista on 1/19/2026, 5:20 pm, in reply to "mine" Happy to hear it is as easy as they say it is! Cool!

My five Posted by Cindy on 1/19/2026, 12:26 pm, in reply to "Monday gratitudes…" 1. My dishwasher is working once again! Grateful for the internet that helped me by suggesting I turn off the breaker after cleaning out the filter which cleared the code and fixed the problem. My old dishwasher just had a screen you could manually wipe out any debris. This one I have to rotate the built in filter cup, pull it out and then take out the inner screen and wash both. I will be sure to clean this out weekly to prevent this from happening again! 2. Off today with Ken. Love a 4 day work week, and spending time with my guy! 3. A warm house, a car that runs, and enough money to pay my bills. So grateful for all these things and having enough. 4. Ken’s neurologist’s office called today and they can get him in tomorrow morning to do Botox injections to see if it will help with his headaches. He tried this several years back (maybe 10?) and only did 2 rounds of injections and thought it helped a little but not a lot and decided to stop. His current Dr said that studies have found that he will need to do several rounds to have it make any lasting effects. Hoping he gets some relief from his headaches. 5. All of you sweet ladies. I pray for each of you daily and am so glad that we found each other and a home together on this Big Blue Board. Love you!

I am glad that you Posted by Delta on 1/20/2026, 4:26 pm, in reply to "My five" were able to get your dishwasher fixed without calling someone to come out. I had a dishwasher that went out shortly after getting it. It was the motherboard. They fixed it for free because it was still under warranty, but I had to wash dishes for about a week while they ordered it. The old lake house did not have a dishwasher. When my oldest grandson and his wife went up there with some friends once, she told me when they came back that she was the one who washed the dishes. She said she knew how because in their first house after they got married, their dishwasher went on the fritz, so she had to learn how to wash dishes. It never dawned on me that a grown person wouldn't know how to wash dishes, but I guess it is a thing these days.

Oh yay!! Disregard below Posted by Cindyh on 1/19/2026, 10:47 pm, in reply to "My five" This answered it

Cindy Posted by Beverly on 1/19/2026, 1:09 pm, in reply to "My five" Great news about the dishwasher!!!! The internet can teach many helpful things, for sure! I am glad Ken's neurologist can get Ken in. I have a couple of friends who have had good results with the Botox injections. Hoping Ken gets some relief. Ya know.... having the basics in life feels so good.
