Well, it all started with me not getting to bed until 1 am the other night and keeping hubby up. I have a heating pad and my blow dryer...I use the blowdryer to keep my feet warm and then I blow hot air under the covers so they STAY warm, and I use the heating pad on my back. But the blow dryer is loud and if hubby is sleeping, it will startle him awake. So I had put it under the covers to turn it on to muffle the sound, but then it has a safety feature so it doesn't start a fire, and it turned off and I couldn't turn it back on again. So I was having to alternate between my feet and back with the heating pad, which then nothing STAYS warm. Finally at 1 I got to bed and I told hubby in the morning that I needed another heating pad so I had one for my feet and one for my back so I don't need to use the blow dryer. He said we should just look for a mattress sized one and be done with it. I mentioned the other day that they have dual ones so each person controls their own side. He asked why I didn't just get one for my side....I said because then there's a lump in the middle of the bed, which actually, I don't think it would be in the middle, because the single ones are made for a single sized mattress, which is more than half the size of a double mattress, so that wouldn't work because it would still lie half on his side. So now we are going to look into them. I think we'll BOTH sleep better if I'm warm.

My Mom grew up at the end of the great recession too. She was one of 12 kids and they were very far below the poverty line. Grandparents encouraged kids to drop out of school, get a job and help support the family. My Grandfather would take a good chunk of their earnings on payday. Most of the boys worked in the Indiana Steel Mills, most never returned home after being in the service because of my Grandfather. The girls, most didn't go with their education because 'girls only get married and pregnant so they didn't need to be in school when they could be working. 4 of the 5 girls were out of school by 8th grade. My Mom was Child #7 and she was assigned 2 younger kids, had a job and went to school. She was the first to escape the job rule and finished high school and went with her education a few years later to become a teacher. The last boy #12 was the only other child to finish high school. It was uncommon in those days but geez it stuck with my Mom and she just had two kids and married a man that could provide. We were not spoiled but we did have nice clothing, shoes etc. Toys and stuff probably much less than the kids we grew up around but I didn't notice all that until high school. And yes, both of parents are still living.

My Sis has grown into being a very generous person. She and her husband are very wealthy people. Both very career driven type people that have garnered them incredible salaries. My folks Will like your Moms is very much divide between two kids. My Mom split jewlery years ago between me and my Sis and my DD and my niece. They wear theirs. Mine sits in a safety deposit box. Doubt Sis will be a pain when they pass. Different times now. Amen. What they need to do now in their 80's is to put it in a trust. A concept lost on them.

I was so fortunate, when our folks passed, sister was extremely fair. We were brought up with an extreme sense of honesty .

As were we. My Sis all those years ago was just being blantly honest what she intended to take. Ha! I refuse to argue about things that are not happening. I was right this many years later she isn't likely to want much if any of the stuff from the house. Me a few things I like that hold good memories beyond that, not so much. A chair, a cookie jar, those lamps (lol), she could actually have statues cause frankly beyond ebay I have no attachment to them.

No, sadly I have not. In a little over an hour I will deliver my DD chili and salad for dinner (she works the second half of her day from her apartment) and then it will be take the Pup out while still dressed and climb into my bed with my laptop. State of the Union will be on so I will be firing up Netflix on on my Smart TV. My way of dealing with Politics. lol. Tuesday nights normally have some of my most favorite TV programs. *ducks and hides*

You can now troll your friends:
You:.-" We're going to Walt's
Your Friends: "Florida? Or California?"
You: "Neither, Its My home. My pup is named Walt."

Most people with us being from Chicago thought Walt was named after Walter Peyton (amazing Chicago Bears Football player that died much too early in life.) Walt's papers actually state my thoughts. Walter Elias Disney -------!

So sorry to hear this. I don't watch news anymore. Too many incidences of child neglect and animal abuse on our local stations. Thanks for keeping me informed about world news. Hubby hates me to watch to much of that, as I can get depressed and worried about everything.

I hear that they plan on releasing them in morning. Prayers. Tense.

I listen to WGN radio most of the day. I start out with the Morning News on WGN TV. It is a very light version of the news. They toss in a lot of human interest, funny things along with restaurant and food reviews. A bit of everything. At the hours and half hours the major real news is recapped. On from 4am to 10 am but I'm usually done by 8-830. 900 to 10 is very light subjects.

CDT 9-10 very light show, it is streamed here, you should give it a shot online,

We're going to have fun this weekend my younger ds is going to tie dye some shirts for our trip. I just hope he doesn't dye our whole house. We still have to go over our ADR list. We never got to that but all the Christmas stuff is away.

We just made our ADR's for June/July a couple days ago. I suddenly realized we were under the 180 mark by quite a few days. We got everything we wanted but the Dine with an Imagineer. Oh well, it leaves us something for another time. All our Christmas stuff is down now too. Except for the yard decorations and the stuff on the porch. But all that stuff is frozen in the ground, and I'm not spending much time on the porch in negative degree weather! :):cold:
