Ann and Suze-Q my brothers were thinking that if they got one shot and the next was not available it would be only 50% effective. However, since neither of them can get the vaccine at this time its...

I had wondered if Ralph is snowbound. I hope it doesn't get so bad that he and Marty can't get together.

My brother is checking his O2 with an oximeter. I think it was Ann that asked about that. He also has a BP meter (in fact several) that checks his heart rate along with his BP.

Rose, trying to...

My brothers are saying that it might be best for me to keep doing what I am doing. uggh! Their reasoning is that they are concerned about the 2nd dose being available in either 3 or 4 weeks. Of...

Rose, I talked with my brother this afternoon and before I could even bring up the O2, he brought it up. He said he was having trouble breathing at night and that he doesn't know if it is anxiety or...

I vacuumed the house this afternoon. I even turned my heavy recliner over on its side and vacuumed under it. It is very heavy. Now I have a back ache, but I feel better about the overall house. ...

I have never seen anyone as determined and amazing as Sunshine. You just keep going no matter how difficult the road is. Agate, is also a person who perseveres. That is a good thing.

Even if the vaccine just prevents the severity of the disease and prevents you from dying, that is enough for me. After what I am seeing with my brother, I just do not want to get it if I can...

I got a telephone call a few days ago about making an appointment to take the vaccine. I turned it down only because the lady calling me couldn't tell me exactly where it was located. I had to know...

That's a lot and I saw everything you did!

Agate, I am going to get the vaccine. I think I have mentioned it on here before. I talked to someone on the phone recently. They called me to set something up. I will have to check out the...

Agate, the V-8 juice is the kind of top my cranberry juice cocktail has.

Okay, Brian and Cathy may be saved a trip to Switzerland since I know they really don't WANT to go. Yesterday my SIL...

Ann, Peter gets the ironing and he might still get to open jars.

Brian, I need a refund! This morning I tried opening a 64oz bottle of cranberry juice. Naturally, I thought "great now I can use...

Sunshine, so sorry you are going through such a trying time. Just one of these things - postponing the surgery or family health issues would be enough to do a person in. You are very strong. I...

"The problem with devotion to a prophet of falsehoods is that reality eventually intrudes." The Washington Post

My jar opener arrived today. Got it through Prime. So, all of you who want your jars opened just let me know and we will try to work something out.

Agate, I don't deserve a big gold star, but I will take it. I don't have anyone else to brag on me.

Just looking at the photo, I am not so sure he was exaggerating. Looks pretty bad to me. Maybe he was a real hero.

By the way, I have a older brother who has always been a little bit of a show...

Thought I would add that my brother and sister-in-law came over this way today and SIL brought a few groceries in for me. They were out of some things when I ordered through Instacart yesterday. ...

I don't take time to fill out all those things about winning stuff that I see. This story has changed my mind. I will try to find the time now.

I worked with a lady who was listening to the...

You know Brian, now that I think of it, you waited until I had ordered the jar opener to inform me that I needed to have jars to open. So, since this very vital piece of information was lacking I...

Brother and SIL tested negative yesterday. SIL says she feels fine and is ready to go to the grocery store. Brother is getting better, but still not feeling well. I am glad he tested negative.

Agate, 2891 on the 9th - you must have walked to yours son's to see William.:smile:

Sunshine, you do so great all the time.

Yesterday I got in some housework, like mopping the master bath and...

Thanks Brian for reminding me I need to
Make good use of that new toy ASAP.

Credit car arrived - jar opener scheduled for 1-13.

Ann, would you please put another little item on Peter's list. The top of my fan in living room (that has vaulted ceilings) has not been cleaned in ages. I have long handled brush to clean it, but...

Now that's a story! Good for you and dear wife for stopping. I do hope something was done with both the children to keep them safe and help raise them a little better. I don't suppose you ever...

Ann, do you read them all?

Anyone else feel worn out after this week? I did no housework or anything else, but I am worn out and finding it hard to concentrate on my reading. I guess it comes from watching and reading too...

They would only give me the last 4 digits of the new card. Actually, I got the first one that they sent when my old one was breached just today. But, it is no good because I called yesterday...

Agate, your are so right. We have paved the way, now let them come see how it is done. Everyone can start with thread on jar openers. You learn all the time on this board. We could teach people a...

If my credit card comes as promised on Monday the first thing I will do with it is get back on Amazon and order a jar opener. This is something I have needed for a long time, so I appreciate all the...

I wonder what Sam is up to on a Saturday morning and afternoon. Probably eating turkey. I wonder if her human knows she is a cat.

Agate, I am glad you took that Veteran his package that needed to be refrigerated. I am sure he was very relieved. I think the delivery people are just so overloaded right now that they are not...

Good for you Rose. Now you know you can keep going.

Agate, I too spent much of yesterday on the phone - trying to get a new credit card and trying to find out about the new way I am going to get...

YEAH! I did get an official approval of help from Health Well today. It runs out in November, but I can handle the rest.

HECK! I did not get my new credit card. I called and they are going to...

I had been blaming myself for being unable to open the cans with the tabs. Now I see it is not me, necessarily.

Agate, that's funny.

Brother was feeling better yesterday. He got his own shower. The day before he wanted a hot bath and he had to call his wife to help him out. She said all the color had gone out of his face. SIL...

I'll add another Amen. I saw Thomas Friedman a couple of nights ago and he quoted himself on that. He was really good in that interview.

DAR, my SIL got me a can opener. It is electric and I really like it. It is a Hamilton Beach. Agate has one like it and I think she likes hers also.

Howie, how do you open your spaghetti sauce...

I think that was the only time she has seen a roach in her room Sunshine, so she probably does realize they are prevalent in Florida. I didn't know that. She has just lost patience with everything...

Sam hides her head under the covers and closes her eyes when Howie watches some of these movies.

I bet you drive your wife and daughter nuts. How many do you have - that's daughters?

Yes, he does Agate. I am beginning to think that I should just make a list of all the things that need to be done and give it to Peter. Also, I always hesitate to wear my blouses that have to be...

I wonder if they did a COVID test on Marty? I am finding through my brother and SIL that it takes different turns and different ways of showing up. My SIL had a ringing in her ears for a week or...

Talked to Jeanie. She is loosing her patience to say the least. I would have lost mine a long time ago.

She can now transfer by herself from bed to wheelchair and from wheelchair back to bed. ...

Someone was using an expensive IT service on mine, or so it appeared to me in an e-mail they sent asking if it was my charge. If I could just charge away on someone else's charge card I probably...

Ann, I meant to thank you for the video. It did very much remind me of how much my husband enjoyed Ray Charles and especially that song. He was from
Georgia.

Ann, sounds like things are rolling along for you and Peter. I hope your Mom and MIL can soon get the vaccine. Sounds as though they are both hip to do it and I don't blame them.

Talked with my...

Random Thoughts thanks so much for this useful information. As soon as they get me a new charge card in the mail (mine had a fraud against it), I will, for sure order one of these.

Sad that...

I am just barely at the end of my quarantine time, but felt I had to make a store run, now that I am completely on my own. So I am good for at least the next week. Don’t want younger brother coming...

Sunshine, I talked to my SIL and the name of the nausea medicine her Doctor gave her was Promethazine. You may have already taken this one.

SIL is much better and we feel on the way to recovery. ...

Sunshine, I just don't see how you do it. It is amazing that you walk so much even when you are sick.

Linda, your food sounds so good.

Sunshine, when I talk to them again I will ask what kind of nausea medicine their PCP gave my SIL. They gave her some the night my brother took her to the ER, but...

Rose, they did call the Doctor the day after my SIL was diagnosed. That is how they got additional nausea medicine for her.

My brother has been reading on the CDC website, also our health...

No extra $600.00 in mine.:sorrow: Guess you two have a special "in" with someone in high places.:tongue:

I called my brother and he and his wife are about the same. She had a kind of rough night...

Ralph, be careful when you are out in all that snow by yourself. I hope Marty or someone will check on you everyday.

You two are really going, going!

Agate, you just gave me a way to mark my inside plantation shutters when I am cleaning them and have to stop.

I forgot about fireworks. I haven't heard a one.

Agate, will you post us a New Year's picture? I found some beautiful ones, but you know me and trying to copy from one area to another.

It is...

Rose, so glad John, once again, came to the rescue and got the tree roots taken care of. That is a job usually.

My brother can not get into see his PCP because if you are having COVID symptoms...

That's great that you got paid Howie. Ahead of time, no less. What makes you so special?

Thanks Suze-Q and Sunshine for putting up with my questions. As it turns out I can't do anything right...

Suze-Q, I just looked at the Samsung Galaxy S7. It is beautiful, but also expensive. That was the problem with the Air. I want to know if I will enjoy one before putting that kind of money in it....

Agate, I found one birdfeeder under the eves. It is hanging at the end of the first top window.

I do have an iPhone and would like to have an iPad, but they are just too expensive for what I want to use it for.

One thing I would like to know is there anyway of downloading books from Amazon...

Suze-Q, such good information re tablets. I will look at the top ones on the list you gave me tomorrow. Then I can look them up on the internet to see what I think. You gave me a good direction to...

Someone else tell me what kind they have. The ones like Air and anything put out by Apple is much more expensive.

So, I guess you are saying there are no additional charges after I buy it since I have wi-fi?

I am so dumb! Ann, I thought the iPads worked like my Kindle. You just buy them and they work on Wi-fi which I have. I didn't know there were additional charges to pay. Since I have to pay...

Ikoiko, do you know what weight it was?

Sorry, you seem to have had bad news Sunshine. Glad you were able to swim.

Sunshine, I don't like the idea of a blanket being plugged in to electricity while I am sleeping. I use to have one many years ago and liked it alright then, but now I actually need the added...

Suze-Q and Linda please tell me what kind of tablet to get. I looked on Amazon yesterday and just got confused. Sunshine, can you hold the keyboard in your lap along with the tablet?

Please,...

I am always cold at night and have trouble getting enough cover on me. I am also, at times, anxious. Does anyone know anything about weighted blankets? I am keeping the temperature a little...

Thanks for your reply Rose. I think I am going to get an iPad so I can sit in the living room when I want to.

I waited and waited for a call back from Health Well today. It didn't come so I went...
