Awesome, I am proud of you,...now you know how to put in insulation. I wish I could have helped you....I am weird and love doing insulation. But it's good that you are learning more things.
Ooh...I didn't know you sold Levi's. I love the old Levis for working. Send me a Dm when you get a chance and I will keep an eye on your site
Wishing you and your hubby well today. Stay warm. It's supposed to be a cold week.

Our life is out of control
We just moved to South Florida and are alone, our only son is 100 miles away and is busy with his family.
I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. Did you move to a community? Maybe you can find a support group.
Good morning everyone!
I agree with younglisa here alsiew....there are several sites online that may give you some direction to get some help as well. There is always some kind of assistance but you will have to do some research. I am so sorry to hear about all of your problems but it sounds like you have been a wonderful caregiver to your wife--she is very lucky.
It's funny YL because I remembered you saying how you enjoyed putting in insulation a long time ago--odd how some things stick in our little brains isn't it? We don't have near the amount of Levis listed right now because that was always DH's job--he enjoyed that and lately he is having problems getting the pictures and then listing them but we do have some up and will probably be listing more soon and I will send you a DM.
So I just listed our 45 year old coin slot pay phone. Kinda sad because DH had hoped at one point when we were still in CA to buy or build a phone booth and have this phone out by our pool. The phone even has the original keys to open the coin drawer and to open the phone, it's chrome, has under the counter bells--just a really cool item and it works!! In a way I find it hard selling things that had so many memories but we have a 2,400 sq foot metal building full of things we have to sell and get the money. The transmission parts were suppose to be our retirement and DH planned to sell a little weekly for a little extra income to supplement his SS but now we need to sell it all ASAP. So many of the items are still carefully packed away in the wood crates--my DH is so obsessive compulsive---everything has to be perfect and in it's proper place. That is why at one time he had such a successful business. His customers trusted him totally. But CA was to expensive to keep a business and my husband was tired and wanted to retire-------
I think I need to go out in the sun even though it is cold--I need the break right now.
Good morning Cyn.
You need a break now and then - I'll repeat myself, but step by step is the way to go, and breaks are part of the whole thing.
Good luck with the sales!
( big hug from the little one and I)
someone posted this in another forum and I thought to myself......how true.
"do you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? Did you know the one who takes care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most? Did you know the 3 hardest things to say are I love you, I'm sorry, and Help me. Sometimes just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile and see how much pain they may be in."
Thanks EM--that is so true! At least I hope for me it's true too. My poor DH just started sobbing and said he is so tired of waking up feeling bad--he is so sad....he said he just wants to wake up feeling good and not sorry for himself..I held him and told him I loved him. Not sure what else I can do....

It sure does zap every bit of everything a person has inside them.....I am so torn...oh my this is so sad. I get going ok, start taking some pictures get my mind working on how to properly describe said item and then wham.......now all I can think about is how he must feel and how to make him feel better. OK--I'm done--just needed to talk about it.....thanks for being here! I feel better just getting it off my chest. The day is so pretty outside even though it's only about 38 degrees and windy--blue blue skies. Think I'll go have a word with the big guy above.....
