Hi! I'm surely not getting in here as often as I should...FB takes up way too much time, but I'm trying to sell things in a couple of groups there and you have to monitor constantly (one drawback). Today, I managed to sell 4 Pyrex pieces in about 15 minutes which was a good thing; the thing about it is that you need to be honorable and take first in line, according to time posted with interest or "I want this" or whatever. And then a lot of people waste time looking up shipping cost for people who then back down. I don't - I know it'll be costly, so I build in what I expect it'll cost and offer "FREE SHIPPING". One girl just messaged me back asking if I was going to invoice her separately for the shipping cost....she had simply read the heading and not even noticed my shouted free shipping! lol Anyway, glad to see all are well!

I've been re-reading (actually there are some I hadn't read) the Thomas Perry Jane Whitefield series....and enjoying them even more; also went back through the C.J. Box Joe Pickett books. I'm going to have a cataract removed on May 10TH - hoping all goes well.

Homechick; the only people I've ever met who had problems with retirement were those who had no outside interests and suddenly found themselves at loose ends 24/7. Men, I think, experience this more than women. It can lead to depression and a loss of self worth, especially if a man's job was what defined him. My former husband had all sorts of problems - he'd never done much but go to work and go to movies and out to dinner, etc. but had no hobbies of any kind; wasn't a reader except for newspapers. It was pretty bad for awhile. Be of stout heart!!
