I hope you can find a way to heal the chronic sinusitis, Mul. That sounds miserable.

I agree that I think there should be an unspoken agreement...

Good luck when you get to see the ENT, Mul. Hopefully, they will be able to get to the bottom of this.

I hope we all have an easy day! I'll...

That's too bad about your knee Ginger, I thought by now it would have been better.

Good luck with selling the kayaks Jude, I wouldn't think...

Mul, I hope this new ENT comes up with something that helps. It's crazy that the wait was so long but let's hope that's a sign that this ENT is really...

Speaking of Kayaks, I will be selling ours as we just don't use them anymore. It's been 3 years since they have been in the water, even though we live...

Sorry to hear that your knee hasn't gotten better, that must be rough. I've basically done the same with my chronic sinusitis (quit talking about it),...

Thanks for checking on my knee, Dill. I just decided to quit talking about it when it didn't improve. I was taking way too much advil though and had to...

Cross post, Slo. I know what you mean about kids sports squeezing out family time. I think it's much worse lately that it was when my kids were in school....

Cowboy, the breakfast yesterday was superb! Thank you. It was so good we decided to make the same breakfast here in my kitchen as well. We slipped...

Soon you can do fun things like go kayaking, Jude!

You are right, Jude, that I have to watch for resentment triggering drinking. My baby brother was Mother’s last victim (to become her scapegoat)...

Dont know if this is any clearer?
