The Lurker Thread

[Sara Love]

Oh my! You do get use to the empty nest! First my boys grew up and left and I work days and hubby worked nights, I grew to love the quiet peaceful times after a noisy day in the classroom!
Now Mr. Chili retired before me and there is NO quiet - alone time.
Each phase in life brings new experiences and changes, but they are all good.
What I'm afraid of is that I will have so much free time that the baseboards that have been screaming for a good cleaning will now be heard and I won't be able to ignore them anymore!
I'm like Angel. When I have very little time I get a lot done! I'm actually afraid I will get less done with more time on my hands

Congrats on your upcoming retirement.

I can only imagine what quiet time was like after a school day. Something truly treasured, I'm sure.

I have 10 years before the empty nest and 18 years before retirement. Gonna be a long strange trip. Lolz!

Oh boy, I was hoping you were home earlier than that.
Sure hope tomorrow is a short one for ya!!!
Still sick??

Oh yes, full fledged... my boss gave it to me

 

[Sara Love]

Sure wish you were closer, we could throw you a retirement party!!

I'd be down with that!!! Nothing like a good party to kick off the summer.

I ordered from them quite some time ago, I don't remember there being any problem.
I think it's just a common thing now. If it's not one, it's another...sad to say.
Your best bet is to use a card that won't hold you liable, or use one that you can generate disposable #'s for online shopping. I can do that with my Bank of America card.
It's an extra step, and you sometimes have to call to make sure they don't hit it for a dollar, or a penny first, cuz the number is a one time use only.
Most can take the cc number over the phone too.

You are right. Very common and such a shame.

Dale, hope you feel better quickly. Good girl, putting your belt with your stuff

I'm whooped, gonna head out. Sweet dreams everyone.

I think we're gonna all have to live vicariously through Chili...and yes Chili, having all that free time doesn't guarantee anything getting done...when I was between jobs all those months last year, I had so many things I wanted to get done while I had the time and guess what...nothing got done!

Dale, what are we going to do with you?...Are you trying to take away my title of "Injury Queen"...Don't make me have to go hurt myself just to get it back. ...Seriously though....STOP THAT! Hope your back feels better quick.

Party, I like parties!
But honestly Sara, I would trade my retirement for your youth! Image me 18 years younger

Good morning OBG, Joey and lurkers

Why, oh why, do dying/dead batteries in smoke alarms and home security systems need to go off in the middle of the night. We are pretty good about changing the smoke/co2 detectors with the time change. Guess we should plan on doing the home security system too. Harumphhh!! It's toooooo early.

This has happened to me many times LOL I bought rechargeable 9v batteries and a charger off amazon, I am waiting for the current batteries to die so I can start using them. I figure on charging them every 3 months so I will not have to hear the alarms going off again LOL

Good morning Joey. Scared the bejeezus out of me. Lol!! Good idea on the rechargeable batts. I don't know why dummy me never thought the batteries in all the darn sensors would need to be changed.
