    Amen sister! My gift of choice is a good car wash and a thorough clean of the interior! When I worked, I was a retail store manager for Yankee Candle. My commute was 1 hour each way. So all of my meals were in my lap, back and forth to work🤪. My birthday is Christmas Eve. One year, I was working at the cash wrap, ringing up customers and wrapping each candle in paper. I heard my name and looked to my left. There was my niece with husband and kids. She said we came to pick up your car keys to wash your vehicle because that is your birthday present! It knocked my socks off! First, it was Christmas Eve and they, too, had to make the same one hour drive that I did in order to get my car! To take the time out of THAT day says something about them😊 I got in my car that night and it gleamed! It smelled so good! Plus, there was a brand new travel mug for my coffee, birthday card, and my fav, a bag of peanut M & M’s! That was the most meaningful present I have ever received! I don’t mean to be ungrateful for all my gifts over the years. However, the effort, time and thought they put into that gift spoke volumes about Sandy. AND she was modeling the way for her kids, because they helped too! Happy Birthday! I hope you get your birthday wish! You have brought a lot of joy to me and thanks for that❤️

    Hi Lindsay, A hot tip for your kitchen floor. In your mop water bucket, add hot water, a cup of white vinegar, a small squirt of dish wash liquid (just a little bit to help the oil mix) and about a teaspoon of Eucalyptus oil. Mix it together with the mop and Bob's your Uncle. Do like a wet wash on the stubborn spots (swish some of the water on) let it sit for a minute or two. Then, mop it up. The vinegar, Eucalyptus combo cuts through dirt like a hot knife through butter. And, if the floor isn't too bad, hot water and vinegar will work a treat too. Hopefully it helps cut out the scrubbing. Cheers, Deb 😃

    So I'm a single momma with a great job and a median income that falls just above the federal guidelines for assistance, and at one point I literally cried in the grocery store. I don't know how we survive, cheerleading uniforms were $200 this year. Ugh, we all need to not be ok with 400% inflation. It takes away from my art supply fund, vacation fund, recreation, and extra curricular activities for the kids. So I appreciate the awareness.

House now appraises for $150,000. You can’t find a home in a decent neighborhood for less than $350,000. My cousin went to the grocery store, filled her cart and it rang up at $700.00. She had a panic attack. It’s rough out here.

It is crazy because there are things I refuse to by in the grocery store because of being over priced. To go up this high is insane!!

    I cook beans every week. You can soak them for a few hours, throw the water away, put clean water and cook them on a pressure cooker. They cook in about 30min or less this way. You can season and freeze them (in the liquid), or keep them unseasoned in the fridge for a week and season them as you need them.

  • @Louisianagirl_1126

    I agree with you about the person doing the mammogram should be able to read them as they are taking them. I had a mammogram 6 months ago and they found a lump so I had to have an ultrasound, they are watching the lump so I have an appointment for Monday to have another ultrasound. Isn’t LIFE AMAZING!!!! We have mishaps in life so we realize how fortunate we really are. Just remember one day they will be parents and they will understand what Mom was trying to tell them. YES, that is what this mom wants, the floor shining clean BECAUSE let’s be honest the kids drops things on the floor and instead of getting the mop to clean it up, they MAY half wipe it with a paper towel and that is a very big “MAY.” I’m one of those who believes in doing something right the first time so you don’t have to do it over. GREAT video.

    I have four water bottles. They all have push-top drink spouts. I put them through the dishwasher with the spout in the open position. Works fine. If I didn't have the dishwasher, I'd probably fill the bottle with hot, soapy water, put the lid back on, and squeeze the water out through the spout to clean it.
    We have *so many* reusable straws. Before we got a dishwasher, I would be sure to rinse out the straw immediately after use, and about once a month I'd throw them all into a pot of boiling water for a while. (Fun fact: we also keep any extra straws we get from fast food drive-through. If you visit us, you have the choice of using a single-use plastic straw, a single-use paper straw, or a straight or bent metal or glass straw. We've got you covered!)

And caring for our tiny homestead with around 40 chickens, 10 guineas, 15 breeding rabbits, 2 dogs, and in the house, 2 parrots, a 4 ft rescued iguana who was tortured and while we nursed him back to health he is terrified and whips all who come near,.

    I was a kid in the 1960’s and 70’s. We had to drink out of public water fountains in parks, schools, and stores. There were always some kids that had to put their whole mouth on the spout. If it was a city park in the summertime the water was usually warm or hot. If you were thirsty enough, it was better than nothing. In the neighborhood, if you needed a drink, you used the garden hose. Water temperature wasn’t a choice. There were no cellphones, ipads, etc. Kids played outside and got dirty daily. I’m happy with water bottles. I never liked public water fountains or garden hoses, but I used them if I felt it was necessary such as feeling lightheaded and dizzy.

    Mammograms do save lives. I know they are uncomfortable. You want them to catch breast cancer while it is still very small. A good friend of mine has breast cancer stage 2 right now and is undergoing chemo. She has lost all her hair. I just hope it is killing the cancer. I don’t think she went for regular mammographies. We love you Lindsay and don’t want anything to happen to you! By the way….that top you are wearing and necklace is gorgeous on you! Appliances are made like crap right now. We had to get a new refrigerator….new washer as d drier recently. My drier was an old GE 30+ yrs old. The store salesman said “ don’t expect this new drier to last that long” They make them to break nowadays. Happy Birthday!!!

    You can get dishwasher safe water bottles with or without straws. Also, if you invest in a quality dishwasher and care for it, it can last a long long time

    We're on the road in our bus, going through Arkansas but I found a rest area to stop and watch Sat Chat. Absolutely to with the dried beans. I rinse out a cup or two, add to an instant pot, cover with water, and seasoning and cook for 35-50 minutes, depending on the type of bean. AND, you're done. We can't carry huge amounts of cans, too heavy, so I started using dried bags years ago. And it's so convenient too. I use old French Vanilla creamer bottles to store them in the pantry. Best kitchen thing I've done in years.

    I was chosen to do KC Parade of Hearts. Part one was submit a design. You could submit up to 3 which I did. That was last summer. Then wait for 2 months too see if you were picked. The heart is 5'x5'. After I was picked, came the gathering of supplies and getting it delivered. The hearts were delivered in November. We then had 100 days to finish and get it delivered. I didn't have to clear coat it for outside. The organization took care of that and placing the hearts around the city. Then, at the beginning of June all but a dozen were put in an online auction for a week. That was indeed nervewracking. I had decided if mine did not get bid on, I would bid on it myself. It did get bid on which made me happy. It was kind of in the middle of the bids compared to the others. So that was good. Yeah, I don't think I would go to a live auction where I donated a piece.

    Lindsay I wish you were here with me and we would agree on every single thing! My old dishwasher works great as a drainer - I hate drying dishes. I’ve had 3 biopsies over the years after mammograms and terrified every time waiting to hear. Then have to go back for another exam - ultrasound. Once saw it and said what’s that dark spot up there and they said we’re not worried about that!!! So that’s the last time I went in. Probably 20 years. Sorry everyone- I’m 82 and there you are. They called once and I said “you have invaded my body enough” and they said ok.
    Have a Happy Birthday! Prime of life! 56 more years we’ll get everything free.

      😆 54 years I think! Your experience is why I have not had a mammogram the last 5 years. I'd get called back for an ultrasound and biopsy to find out it was nothing each time. So stressful. But I decided to have one to be on the safe side. I do worry about the radiation from the tests tho.

    Oh I definitely have that doctor anxiety. Of course I have chronic migraines, so I have to face that fear quite often, lol. I hate water bottles with straws, none of mine have a straw. I've gotten used to water bottles though since my cat would just waltz up and drink from my cup every single time. He got to the point where he recognized a cup, and would just stare me down until I shared with him. He's gone now, but I keep the water bottles because I've never once confused my paint water for my drinking water! Plus I'm prone to knocking things over anyway, so better it be completely closed up.

    LOVE the hair! You don't have to soak dry beans, you can slow cook them on the stove. I wash them, throw them in a huge pot of water with a little oil, half an onion, half a green pepper, a handful of peeled garlic cloves, and a couple of stems of fresh cilantro. Stir occasionally, add water as necessary until they're as soft as you like. Then season as you normally would. It takes a few hours. You can probably do the same in the slow cooker although I haven't tried it yet.

    Lindsay, your Sat Chats are always the highlight of my Saturday and you always hit on topics that are so relevant to so many of us in your art community. Between price increases and food scarcity with some items, it is really tough these days and no end in sight. Hopefully my garden will produce enough to freeze or preserve a good amount for winter. I have started buying dried beans and make a batch in the instant pot and then freeze them in serving size batches.
    Enjoy your weekend!

    And on the subject of food cost, we eat out less, use coupons, shop discounts and diet. We could all pass on a meal or two and drop a pound. Not so with children but more fruits and vegetables less fast food. Teach the value of clean eating. No waste. Simple things. We can do it.

    Happy Birthday Lindsay! By the way, you look fabulous today. I’m glad you went through with your mammogram. My daughter, who will be 46 next month, was diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago. She had chemo and radiation and then a mammogram every 6 months (yuck). Last September she was diagnosed with Angiosarcoma which is a very rare cancer which can be caused by radiation treatments. She has had a drastic surgery and now has been undergoing chemotherapy since February. Just because you’re young don’t ignore the tools that could save your life. Speaking of tools….we don’t have a dishwasher and don’t miss it. My husband and I always do the supper dishes together and discuss our day. I love your birthday gift idea. Washing down the cupboards would be my fantasy gift. Enjoy your special day xoxo

    • @LakerSlots
      @LakerSlots 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree about the dishwasher. The house we are in does not have a dishwasher and I don’t miss it. Even Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are no issue as I have extra help on those nights with dishes.
      I wish your daughter a positive outcome with her chemo. I am on a 6 month routine of MRI and chest CT following kidney cancer surgery, as well as annual breast ultrasound following a suspect mammogram. Keep up with whatever tests are recommended for your age, it can save your life.

    Here in BC, Canada, the mammogram techs are NOT allowed to talk to the patient about the mammogram. A specialist looks at it, then I get an email/phone call about the result of the mammogram. I am actually due for one, but I don't have a history of breast cancer in my family, so I will book one for next spring. (i am way too busy to get one before then, unless the mobile unit comes). $2 for a can of beans is about what we pay for here, and that's on sale. I only shop food sales, as regular price is wayyyyy too expensive.

Yuch!!! And yes prices have been going crazy here in Canada too. I noticed when I mailed a parcel to a client the other day that Canada Post now charge a 27% fuel surcharge....that is crazy too. But yes groceries too are getting quite expensive. I don't know how people are managing right now. I hear you about the dishwasher. I didn't have one in my last place & I survived...I would rather have the cupboard space...LOL Anyways have a great Birthday weekend. Take care.
