Lori, I'd like to hear the story of losing your home if you don't mind sharing.

Finally got around to listening to the new Meghan Trainor (who I love) album tonight on Apple Music... and I got to this one song... and, maybe it makes me seem ridiculous... but it brought me to happy tears with how much it spoke to how I feel. I sincerely hope everyone gets to feel this way. And if anyone has a problem that I do -- not my department.

Lori Dee · July 29, 2024, 06:48:22 AM

Love it!

I used to tell people that I have been single for quite a while now. Things are really working out well. I think I'm the one for me!

Good for you! It's not a one-gal anthem!

and I have my sweetie, of course (who REALLY is the girl of my dreams) but I just hear that song as being all about finally seeing the girl I've always dreamt I'd be in the mirror and really loving her (and yeah, thinking she's cute as hell! 🤫😉😘)

Crushin' is such a cute song!

Got my temp license today. I can tell just by looking at it... when the real one comes in the mail, tears 'gonna flow!

Let me be the first to wish you "Happy Correct License Day!"

You can TEMPORARILY congratulate me. 😘

Ha!

Getting official documentation to match the new you can be difficult in some states, but it's worth the effort if you can get it done. Not only does it reduce the potential for forced 'outings', but it's also very affirming. Temporary congratulations on the new license!

Love always -- Jess

Temporarily appreciated, Jess!

For so many reasons...very lucky to be here in MA.

Just removed my ear piercing studs and put on actually earrings for the first time.

Ummm... do I need to budget 20 minutes extra a day for this process? I assume this will get quicker? 🙄😂

Wow... I normally feel like a coordinated person, but not at this moment!

Oldandcreaky · July 30, 2024, 03:45:28 PM

I want to get my ears pierced again. Where did you get yours done, Allie?

Lori Dee · July 30, 2024, 03:45:40 PM

I have to use my magnified makeup mirror if I haven't worn them in a while. If I have been wearing them daily, it gets pretty easy. Just one more skill for you to practice, Ms. Allie.

Oldandcreaky · July 30, 2024, 05:32:31 PM

Since you're into practicing skills, Allie, please add "practice carving full-sized, exact replicas of Michelangelo's Pieta" to your daily routine. And when you master that skill, ring me and I'll rent a U-Haul. Thanks!

@imallie
Dear Allie:
If you wear your (pierced) earrings every day, or at least very
frequently, getting them on should eventually become fairly easy and fast...
.....it is when you don't wear them for days or even weeks that it can be more difficult.

Also, if you wear hoops or dangles that have a little weight to them the piercings in
your ear will become a little larger making things easier.

I wear earrings every day and I can get them on quickly without a mirror.

HUGS,
Danielle

That was my experience when I wore them.

I went to Claire's. Me and all the other eight-year-old girls. My wife saying "now, you be brave so you set a good example for all the other little girls, ok?" will stay in my head FORever.

I recently taught myself to shuffle cards one-handed (with each hand)... so I'll add that to the list!

I went to Claire's too. I gave myself a birthday present and got it done. There were a couple of teenagers there. I'm glad I didn't cry. I told my cousin about it and she sent me a pair of cube crystal studs for my birthday. I normally wear silver hoops, but the crystal studs are my favorite.
