Sheba, fyi only
I continue to have some issue with the HSN web site, in addition to the header issue and logging in and out issues. Beware. It just defaulted the “notify me of email replies” button below and sent me 2 emails from your thread but not my posts…..

Have a good evening.

Sheba, Glad your SIL made it through her major surgery. Sucks. I know. If this helps, my hubs gall bladder surgery wasn’t nearly as painful as yours. He was in and out in 1 day and the pain was referral pain later in the night. Your surgery sounds major as well and 8 days is a long time in the hospital in CA. Sorry you were in so much pain. Couldn’t they give you meds for it?
Here’s hoping the best for your SIL.

Sheba, I thought Oz was too far towards the South for all that cold weather.
Yes, to answer your question, the green of Heidi set does look close to our birthstone which I Love.
Best wishes for the surgery to be over with and in the past. Hope your SIL recovers quickly.

Sheba, You’re a Heidi Queen of green today! Hope you have the luck of the Irish!

Sheba, Gorgeous!!! And the pictures don’t do the pieces justice. I have the earrings and love how they reflect light. Maybe I will wear them as well.
Do you have plans for tomorrow?

Sheba, glad they had a great vacation and are safely back home. My plants and flowers are ok but not great. They aren’t used to rain, cold, and hail. The lawn, however is doing well.
I am surprised Oz gets so cold. Hope your hands are warm now.
Above, your post about Vacuums is spot on. I really love this new one as the suction is exceptional.
Hubs flew small planes back in the day. We had fun flying into places in CA. He hasn’t flown since I got pregnant. Long time ago. Yah, saw those people and the plan in CO. It’s crazy. Maybe that’s why airlines still sell so much alcohol.
Have a great evening.

Oodie, you will love camera monitoring. I get about how people fake it with pets. Once we were at a bakery/cafe and a man came in with a little fluffy dog. They kindly asked him to put the dog outside. He refused and claimed it was a service dog, picking it up as he threatened the workers with the I’m gonna call my lawyer bit. A service dog needs a vest and paper work etc and this dog had none and the man wasn’t fooling anyone. The staff handled it well and I made sure to tip them well. No respect for people like that…
Have a great evening!

Oodie, Saw your post on another thread about a Marlo. I’m not posting there but was tempted. The poster sounds so disappointed, and maybe a tad unwell. Hope both are ok.
Hey, whatever works for you is great.
I have been sensitive to HOA’s lately because of my own experiences. As long as you know your rights and push back on any bullying.
As fyi, This was interesting. HOAs and Service Animals:
Under federal law, HOAs are required to make reasonable accommodations for service animals, including emotional support animals (ESAs).
No Pet Restrictions:
HOAs cannot impose “no pet policies” that would exclude service animals.
Documentation:
If the need for a service animal is not immediately apparent, the HOA can request documentation to verify the need, such as a letter from a medical professional.
Limited Inquiry:
The HOA can only ask two questions: “Is the animal a service animal required because of a disability?” and “What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?”.
No Information about Disability:
The HOA cannot ask for details about the person’s disability, nor can they require proof of training or certification.

Sheba, glad you made it through the storm relatively undamaged and the cats were able to feed.
That poor guy who had a tree fall on his car , and with him in it. Hope he recovers soon.
Did your Brother and his wife make it back to Co ok? Hope they are home and safe by now.
You know I won’t ever go to Mexico. Thought about it for Dental Tourism, and met some people who do it, plus some go for Vet care ( Vets fees are outrageous) but it’s still dangerous.

Sheba, it’s been lightly raining all day. Hopefully the sun will return by next week. I love the colder weather. We went out to look at the Moon last night and it was bright as can be but we didn’t see any red moon. I’m going to check again tonight.
Don’t you know? I always look…. but don’t want to accumulate too much. I do buy an occasional piece though. 🙂
How is your SIL doing?
Hope Spring finds Oz soon!

Oodie, excited for you getting your home ready for your hubby. Just an fyi, watch out for HOA’s. They are often run by your fellow neighbors who have no idea about the actual laws. For example, Federal law: “While HOAs can request documentation to verify a need for a service animal, they cannot require a doctor’s note or any specific type of documentation, and they cannot ask about the nature or extent of a person’s disability. ” FL may have other more specific laws you can Google.
We have an HOA and had a major issue with them sending us notices for our plug for the electric vehicle. It’s partially hidden and not an eyesore. In CA, it is against the law for an HOA to tell us to take it down. The law exists for this exact reason. HOA’s overreach. Once we let them know then they backed down. I could write more but will hold off. Good luck!

Sheba, That style and the color ways are very pretty. It seems she releases seasonal colors for them. I have been so tempted. Sale price would be great. I’m sure you love wearing them!

Speaking of which, people on another thread post about getting 15% off coupons all the time. What? Not me but I’m not signed up for texts. Maybe I will need to do so.
I received the Nakery serum infused soaps today, bought two (they are on sale at $12.95 and the packaging is lovely if you need a gift for anyone. Also received the TS from Doll 10 (the bounce skin transforming 4 piece) which was packaged beautifully, and I can’t wait to use it. 🙂
It hailed hard here for maybe 5-10 minutes then the sun came out. We expect rain all day tomorrow as well.

Sheba, very nice set! I have looked at that ring over the years in many colorways, but haven’t purchased it. At least not yet. The one pictured is great for Spring.
If I am correct yo have the ring in at least one color way. 🙂

Sheba, yah, child with his father who threw the ball and then says is that why my wife is always mad at me? Yah, we have stories. Nice people though.
We had a rainy day and expect more rain for the next few days. I went on the treadmill at the gym and enjoyed it.
Sounds like our husbands both are tool guys and do-it-yourself types.
The flowers are lovely.
Enjoy your house projects.

If only I had room for this item…
