    I'm blown away! Thank you all for the warm welcome back. My dad and I have a somewhat sarcastic relationship so the teasing is well received. Not a lie though. She was Catholic, he is atheist but not behaving that way at all. He flips between consulting with her urn and less afterlife type of...

    I was actually shocked at how much time has passed. It seems like just a couple of months and its been more than a year! In fact in five days it will be the two year anniversary of Buddy's death. Which exactly as ronandannette said is both another lifetime and yesterday rolled in together. I'm...

    Proper Position of Bathroom Light Switch?

    Definitely inside the room. I've rarely seen it otherwise.

    I didn't realise how long since I've checked in here...hope everyone is well. The kids and I continue to move along...We celebrated the first of DH's birthdays without him last week...we visited the cemetery (thankfully there was not a snowstorm like today) and got a small cake - carrot, his...

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! I thank all of you who have continued to follow and respond through this horrible year. I am really looking forward to seeing the tail end of 2018! We've pretty much settled in at my parents' house and everyone seems to be adjusting fairly well...

    Whirlwind!! The house was completed Wednesday night. The last boxes and bags removed to my parents', to donation, to auction and to the dump. We have completely moved to my parents' as of Wednesday night. Four days ago. My idiot neighbour went out of his way to accost the movers, painters and...

    I am TRYING!!! He is diving me nuts. Because he's bored. He's happy to stay home from school :rolleyes: but is having friends in for an hour or so every day because he's stir crazy. I keep yelling down the stairs - "he's contagious, don't go near him!!" He loves that. I had what my doctor...

    Spinoff: Thanksgiving Foods That You Hate

    I like green beans and once or twice when my Mom didn't have the frozen ones she used for the casserole, she had to use fresh. I liked it much better because the beans weren't soup. My kids like Brussels sprouts and I found a recipe once where they're done with green onion, Parmesan, cream and...

    Thanks to all who are still following along! It really does mean a lot to me. Things are moving very quickly now. The purging was completed on Friday; Wendy, my amazing organizer, had her movers come and remove everything that was donation (19 large clear garbage bags of clothing donation alone...

    Momentum is finally picking up. I've taken most of my clothes to my parents' - except for what goes in the dresser, which will be moved in a couple of weeks. I've filled five (so far) of the large clear recycle bags with clothes to donate. I'll probably have one more before I'm completely done...

    Another little heart rip today but also a little bit nice too. I did not plan for Halloween this year. I expected to be driving DS to train tonight and since we live about an hour and a half drive from the studio, I always wait to drive him back, not go in and out of the city twice. Yesterday...

    I love Rainbow Bridge, Dan, and have used it a lot talking to the kids. With our last dog when it was her turn - the kids were 11 and 12 then, and again now. We were trying to figure out how it went when the human left first. DH loved dogs, so maybe he just hung out there waiting and playing...

    Another loss. And a hard one because he was DH's dog. I mean he was a family dog, of course, but really attached to DH. I called the vet yesterday morning and described the situation. They booked an appointment for 4:45 yesterday afternoon and said we could talk to the vet and she'd give her...

    Irrational grandmother

    My parents are worriers. mom keeps hers mostly to herself but my dad is forever warning me about everything and even now when my brother and I are 49 and 53, needs a phone call to let him know we're home safely. My brother lives in the US (we're Canadian) so if he doesn't get in touch when my...

    Thanks lisaviolet! I was kind of hibernating from the board for a bit. Made it through the most difficult first. Sort of. Our 20th Anniversary would have been last week. It was also Thanksgiving and the week prior was DD's 16th birthday. I knew October was going to be tough - and it has been...

    So, the past month has been buuuuuuuusy! I have managed to complete phase one of the basement. I have opened every single box and touched every item down there. We had a dumpster in the driveway for a week which we filled. I now have piles to be re-packed to move with us, piles to be donated or...

    Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2018

    I assumed that's how it would have to work since the Pros will be on the regular season while Jrs is airing. I haven't seen any spoilers but then haven't looked for them either. I do read the spoilers for Bach/ette but for whatever reason wouldn't want to for DWTS.

    Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2018

    Can't wait for both regular season as well as the Jr. season! I've seen teasers for Jr on Instagram over the past few weeks and look forward to seeing how the regular season Pros worked with the kids.

    Grey's is the only one on the list I've seen. I also really like The Good Doctor but primarily because I love Freddie Highmore after his run as Norman Bates.
