Conversation – 18
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is
number 18 out of the series. I created and started this thread 9 years ago.
I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe.

I am about to start the thread for today and I saw your post. ✨My goodness you were so
tired last night I could feel it through the computer. I am glad you had a good time and
people were actually talking between games.I will always post something to FBN in Trivia because that is the one place he and I both
have been in since Trekky was doing the thread. I hope he is alright. We have been friends
a long time. Everything is not online we would write when HSN had PM. I miss that feature.OZ was a mess last night over 30 accidents on the roads due to the rain turning into Ice.
My cold is getting better. Keep me posted on how things go today.I always call Charlie’s family when it is super cold to see if he is alright believe me if he
could get out he would be at my house. 😘😎 -
An update: After arriving home following shopping at our Farmer’s Market, put some of the food away. While doing so, I made up a care package for hubby. I included fruit (grapes, banana, honeydew melon), Half Italian grinder, water, can of Stevia soda, and a taste of a chocolate cake. plastic ware and regular silverware. I had to wake him up when I arrived and it was just after 5:30/6 pm. He said no to everything because he had just finished dinner. However, I did leave the fruit for a midnight or early morning snack. Considering he was fast asleep, he quickly awoke and was glad I was there. I did notice a bandage over the vein on his left arm and surmise he had blood drawn to see what is actually going on. The nurses feel there is nothing to worry about, but I will continue to worry until I do have some answers. Spoke also with the administration Dept and the Insurance has continued. I am hoping that we will have some answers in the next few days. We were both ill following the cold temps in the ER, so I am hoping that it is nothing more than a blockage that can be mended with an antibiotic. Hubby appears to be stronger and his coloring is coming back as well. His face was no longer white as a sheet. I am assuming we both had the same bug. I will update this whenever I get some answers.
I had fun in Trivia last night. We didn’t have the crowd we normally see, but I attributed that to the weather. I have a feeling that FBN is OK, but his eyesight is preventing him from being on line. His Ophthalmologist is in NY and I assume he/she is working on some alternatives if that is possible. I seem to remember that he had laser treatments that did not work out as well. He took losing his eyesight very hard. I do know that there are people working on macular degeneration and they do have some answers. Part of the problem is not knowing how long the medication and tests will work. I think he has a machine that can read our posts. I’m not sure if this same machine can answer. He is in a tough situation and I think posting messages in Trivia conversations could help rather than hinder.
There is sun today with high temps and the humidity is back. Right now we are in the 80s. New England may be getting a snow event next week. So winter isn’t over just yet. I do remember one year having a blizzard on Mother’s Day. My mom couldn’t believe it. She had sun. She turned the telly on and saw what was happening in our area. It was one of those things that sent the snow along the coast. We had over 10″ that day.
Hope you have a great day. Enjoy with hubby, Poppy and Charlie (if he shows).

Sheba, Hello. It was about 50 degrees this afternoon with a cold chill in the air. I love this weather. Some lite sprinkles and rain storms are expected tonight.
My son said there was hail a few days ago late at night. How is life in Oz?
Been doing some house stuff and feel a closet cleaning coming on soon. -
Sheba, this is so pretty. Wonder if they are easy to grow?

I could eat fish every single day if I never ate meat again it would be too soon. ✨✨
Oz is cold tonight with rain. Hubby brought home some good Fish Dinners. 😘😎
Enjoy. ✨✨

Good evening from the ‘burgh. Sunny but cold and windy here also, about 30 degrees colder than yesterday.🥶
Stayed in most of the day since I was tired. We went with mom and sis to the first fish fry at one of the churches for dinner.🐟🦐 It was very good and I’m stuffed like a turkey.
Not much planned for the weekend. I had a busy week so may just do small things around the house. Hope you can finally shake the cold.🤧 Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Just returned from the market and put together a care package for hubby. I do not think I will be back in time to start the game, but will try to be there at some point.

Becoming Your Parents
We may honor some traits from our parents, while rejecting others and becoming our own person.
Heredity plays a role in almost all human development, whether physical, mental, or emotional. We tend to look like our parents and are subject to the same sensitivities they have. We may even be predisposed to certain behaviors or preferences. As we grow older, we become increasingly aware of the traits that exist within us and the clear history of the traits of our mothers and fathers. Our response to this epiphany depends upon whether the inclinations, tendencies, and penchants we inherited from our forebears are acceptable in our eyes. We may honor some of these shared traits while rejecting others. However, there is no law of nature, no ethereal connection between parents and children, that states that the latter must follow in the footsteps of the former. We are each of us free to become whoever we wish to be.
When we accept that our parents are human beings in possession of both human graces and human failings, we begin to regard them as distinct individuals. And by granting mothers and fathers personhood in our minds, we come to realize that we, too, are autonomous people and in no way destined to become our relations. While we may have involuntarily integrated some of our parents’ mannerisms or habits into our own lives, conscious self-examination will provide us with a means to identify these and work past them if we so desire. We can then unreservedly honor and emulate those aspects of our mothers and fathers that we admire without becoming carbon copies of them.
Though many of the tempers and temperaments that define you are inherited, you control how they manifest in your life. The patterns you have witnessed unfolding in the lives of your parents need not be a part of your unique destiny. You can learn from the decisions they made and choose not to indulge in the same vices. Their habits need not become yours. But even as you forge your own path, consider that your parents’ influence will continue to shape your life—whether or not you follow in their footsteps. Throughout your entire existence, they have endeavored to provide you with the benefit of their experiences. How you make use of this profound gift is up to you. Amen! ✨✨🌹
