We are about the same age & I was once told by an older Aunty a few years back, you have to move it or loose it. She said that is so, so true. So I’m moving it even though I am slower, I don’t want to loose it! Keep it up Margaret ❤
My Mom was in a nursing home and always visited her. I could never walk away!! She was always independent and I believe she felt the nursing home gave her some independence as to not relying on family for help . However, we always visited and were her advocates.
Hi! Thank you for sharing! My kids are at their second year at the University and to hear your perspective as a parent about what to expect or what to ask from our kids helps more than you think.
I agree completely. I do as much as I can do, safely. I'm 60 so can still do most things. Having said that I do get my sons down once each summer to 'help me' paint the garden walls, and clean out the large shed (obviously I see them a lot more often but once to actually help me do the big jobs). Not because I can't do both, I do them both. But I think it's nice and kind for them to help, they definitely feel good about themselves afterwards. We gave a lot bringing them up, I loved every minute of it, it's nice for them to give a little too x
Exactly, Margaret!! Keep working on “home projects”. I’m 66 and do tons around the house. People tell me to stop doing so much and have others help me, but I need to keep working!
When I was working I thought if I just had a month off I could get everything in and out completed. I've been retired now over 5 years and still am not done. With old age comes much less oomph! So you may have time to do everything, but the will get it done just doesn't work anymore. So good luck! Love listening to you!
Agree with all you said about your kids 100% Both of ours live in other states than my husband and I (we are both 65). Both boys check in by phone or text weekly, and visit yearly, but we want to spend time with them, and not have them busy doing things for us. We take our time doing what we needs to do. Fortunately our house and yard doesn't require much maintenance.
oh my goodness Margaret you crack me up 😂 i love ur channel ur real there is no sugar coating anything which i love. u bring us the real and raw true life of urself . i also climb a ladder i have no balance issues either i agree with u on if u don’t use it you will lose it . i think it’s great how independent u are i am also hubby is usually out flying so i take on all my own projects too. Happy 4 th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love your no nonsense attitude and your honesty. You express whats on your mind, but your able to do it in a good way…one of my favorite bosses had that same quality. Just keep going Margaret. Love the ending in your video…have a great 4th❤️
🌸Hello Margaret and all friends watching. You are a delight, dear Margaret, and I do agree with your views on our kids, especially in our later years. Sometimes I don’t think my one son, his wife, and my three grandsons realize “Granny is on fixed income”. Young people don’t think about it, I know I sure didn’t!! I was divorced after 35 years (his choice!) and at age 62 moved in with my kids for 18 months. I’ve never been more unhappy. They have different lives, a generation between is too much. Love your perspective, dear Margaret. You always make my day….you and Nanny both! Have a lovely, safe and happy 4th everyone - from southeast Michigan 💙🎊❤️🎉💙🎊❤️🎉💙
Hi Margaret! I really like my small vanity that has just enough storage for bathroom cleaning products and some scent candles/beads. It sets on small legs and is easy to clean under. I just love it!! I think you are definitely on the right track with this choice!! It's such a good idea to use the flower pattern on your chairs in different ways throughout your house. I really like that. Please don't forget to wear gloves (I know you won't forget) when you work with the insulation in the washer/dryer area and I think the spray in foam with work with some work - of course! "I'm finished talking" sounds great to me for ending your delightful videos!! ♥Kathleen
Hi Margarete One time my medicine was high then the next the copay was normal. Guess what happened the checker didn't run my medicine through my insurance on file for some reason and used their Rite aid RX card thinking they were helping me. They discovered they didn't run it through My prescription insurance card. UGH! She may have been a new cashier not sure but I was so happy the second time around it was a normal copay. I thought I was going to have to ask my Doctor for a different RX or generic brand. That is always an option asking your Doctor is there any other prescription that works just as well and less expensive. Michael may have meant spoiled in the fact they were happy kids that were loved. The memories my sons share with me that I think were the simplest joys were their biggest joys in their life. Playing Little league and teener league baseball for years and cheering them on. Hubby Coached their teams when he could because he worked a lot. I took them to Blockbuster to rent VHS on the weekends & make them popcorn and hot chocolate. I did a lot by myself as Hubby worked extra shifts so I could be home with them in their younger years. They loved Going Camping in the Summer and piling in the car with snacks and chairs and blankets and going to the Out Door Drive In Theater. Taking them to one of our local parks to sleigh ride when we had a huge stow storm. Taking them Fishing and enjoying quiet moments and Throwing the Frisbee together that was my favorite Summer sport. As I couldn't through a baseball but I could toss a Whamo frisbee really far and run & catch it for a little mom. I took them to church every Sunday and taught Sunday school for many years and I was always available for all school events. My sons hung out in our Garage when they got older with a few of the neighbor boys and their cousins playing games and keeping score. It was always a relief to me to know where they were. They find these things today and smile. My favorite and their favorite was tucking them in at night and reading them books out loud. Playing music, Playing board games, Video games and playing with Playdough, Tic tac toe, hangman ect. that was My way of spoiling them I guess. I really put my all into hopefully good fun memories to look back on and I got to do so many things I didn't get to do growing up in a non traditional home life. My older siblings and I had all the chores you could imagine and not much fun growing up. So as a young mom in my 20's I felt like a kid with my boys for the first time in my life up till that point. I was small, mighty and self sufficient when I met my husband a month before I graduated high school. I knew how to cook meals clean and I worked after school in a factory and Babysat on weekends throughout my preteen through Senior year and beyond. I had a lot of experience with kids with younger sisters and babysitting cousins and neighbors kids. By the time I had my daughter in my 30's I got to do it all over again with a girl. I have only worked several part time jobs between raising my kids trying to work around their school schedule and hubby's work schedule. Kids are precious and sometimes they see what other kids are going through at home or in school and may acknowledge in their minds boy I had it good I was spoiled. Sometimes they don't know it till their older and wiser. It may not be with fancy vacations and everything they could ever want but with Love and guidance and fond memories. Small Birthday parties not like today with these Huge Birthday events and parents spending an arm and a leg. My eldest son who has 2 daughters our only grandchildren has done the exact same things with his girls and that makes me feel so proud and happy that what I did as their Mom meant enough to him that he repeats it. This summer he introduced them to fishing and they loved it. My middle son is the Fun Uncle/Godfather so the girls have 2 good men in their lives they can count on. 💕 My daughter is lucky too she has 2 older loving brothers that have her back even though she is newly married. I know when I'm gone they have each other. I'm sure your sons feel they are lucky they had you growing up. Anyone can be a parent but it takes love and guidance to be a Good Mom or Dad. That is as close to spoiling them as a brand new car or all the toys in the world.
you are a breath of fresh air for this recently retired 69 yr old.. I share so many of your beliefs and thoughts and admire you have taken the next step to share them - i simply talk to myself lol . However, I still am amazed hearing how many people seem to judge or question or feel that they have a right in your business... thats not why you are sharing your videos in my estimation- you are simply sharing whats in your life and thoughts and experiences .. when you get to our age, there are fewer people who simply 'get it'. Thank you for giving me a chance to commiserate or reflect - a chance to find comfort that someone else is challenged with the same things at this time in my life..
I agree Margaret The last thing I would do is guilt my son into anything. Whatever he does is from the heart because he wants to and what matters most is our great relationship . I am blessed and grateful to be independent and capable of doing for myself and it’s a good example .
Margaret, what would I do without you??!! Thank you for the laughs you give me, but oh yes...also the tears. You're a genuine person, most people can't handle that nowadays, and that's such a shame. It's all about keeping it real, not sweating the small stuff, never assume anything, & not giving a damn anymore what anyone thinks as we get older. As long as we know that we're kind, and do the best we can in any situation, that's all that matters. Cheers to you Margaret, & have a safe 4th of July weekend!!!
I absolutely love you for just being who you are and staying so true to who you are!! I wish more people were able to be that way, it's so refreshing to know that what you see is what you get like or leave it!! I also 100% agree with you about children I do not ever expect nor want help from my children. I raised them the best I knew how and they are all homeowners with a family of their own to care for. If I need something done I do it myself and if I'm not able to I call a professional. I hope you have a fantastic 4th of July Let all enjoy our Independence 🎆🎇 ❤❤❤ TFS ❤❤❤
The reason for the difference in price for your medication is Medicare has what they call the donut hole. That means they will pay the first $4,000.00 (on my plan) and after that they stop paying for the next $3,000.00 (again on my plan). After you have met that amount they start paying again. For me that means in June or July they stop paying for the year because I don’t get to that $3000.00 before the end of the year. In January it goes down again until you reach their maximum benefit that puts you back in the donut hole. I am surprised your pharmacy didn’t tell you about this mine did, then I checked it out in the booklet Medicare sends out once a year. Hopes this helps. Still can’t figure out why they call it the donut hole, makes me look at donuts a little differently.
Ditto ditto ditto. Re: kids...I thought my job was to raise people to have big feet and a strong backbone. That they were under no obligation to pay any more attention to me after they were grown, than they WANTED to. Each one learned how to live a life. That's how I grew up. Wanting responsibility. My kids are the same way. I know a lot of people have their kids living with them until they're 40, but that has never been me. Re: self sufficiency...YESSSSSSS. I get you 100%. If I can't do it, it's usually because I don't want to do it. With the exception of opening jars. Arthritis has killed my desire to show off my super strong hands. BFD. Re: What to do with the business? Heck. It's your business. It's great to have started and run a business. And now, it's running. That's just cool. Re: Retirement? You think you will have time to get stuff done? You are stackin' up the projects? Heeee heeee heeee. Like I told the guy in the feed store the other day, I have no idea how I ever had time to go off to work. No idea. I will never be "done" in a million years. I hope. And I hope the same for you. Like you, I get all the couch time my butt can stand. Ah. Life in the fast lane, right? PS: So glad you posted today. Have a great one!
I love having coffee with you, Margaret. I like your outlook! One of the things I've always said about my son, "As long as he's happy, that's all that matters." I wouldn't ever want to be a burden to him. Like you, I feel he owes me nothing. I did my best raising him and I'm very proud of him and all he's accomplished. I agree with you on another point. Don't stop doing what you're capable of doing for yourself. I was supposed to be in a wheelchair 8 years ago. I'm still walking. With a cane sometimes, but I'm staying upright out of sheer stubbornness. I may not be as energetic, athletic, or limber as I once was, but I'm far from being ready for an assisted living facility. My dad told me before he passed to "just keep moving" and he was right. Have a great Fourth of July/Independence Day, Margaret!
So Agree w/ Your words of Wisdom~My Goal while raising my Son was to give him the Tools to become independent~He is ALL of that and More~I too was very strict~With a mix of spoiling our only Child~ I couldn’t be More Proud of the Man He is Today ❤~Great Conversation Margaret~ThankYou ~
Margaret, the 297 was the deductible now you’ve paid the deductible so it’ll be $47 a month until you reach the donut hole. Have the pharmacist explain the donut hole to you. In other words, your deductible was $250 then $47 for the monthly cost of the prescription hence $297 now that you paid the 250 deductible it will be $47 a month. Until you reach the donut hole.
I'm really sick and kidney disease. I can't work and not a lot of money. My kiddo and I put our money together to have home and get her through college Not fun but I may not live 5 yrs before kidney transplant. I have given my whole life to my kidddo . Her dad left us high and dry when she was 7.
I just bought a summer dress in your chair cover design and the first time on wearing it was told, I like your fried egg dress, umm.🤔 Really enjoy your videos ☀️ Happy 4th of July to you and all Americans from somebody in Europe.
Margaret, just a reminder....opinions are like butt holes, everybody has one. You just keep doing you...ignore the critics. You are loved and appreciated, remember that above all. Don't change a thing!
Margaret, your inhaler will be 297 for the first month then 47 for a few months then go up to about 167 till the end of the year, my husband has a steroid inhaler and we go through this every year. It is your co-pay varies all through the year. Your insurance should have explained all of this to you. I'm done listening! Love it! Have a very Happy 4th of July!!!
Correct me if I’m wrong but if you don’t use the bathroom vanity for storage, then what about just getting a pedestal sink? It will also look more spacious.
There you go…perfect sign off! I especially agree with you about letting children and older learn to cope and also learning consequences. I also agree with most everything you say/do. Do you think the vanity you got would look strange if you took the legs off and attached it to the wall so it would be easier to clean under?
Hey Margaret, it's nice to hear other perspectives. I respect that you're independent and capable of doing for yourself. Please try your best not to close the door completely if your sons WANT to help. As a daughter, my Dad was very capable until about 8 months before he died. (And of course I helped when he got sick). But there were times he accepted help even though he was healthy and capable. It was because he knew it made ME feel good. You gotta do you M, maybe just don't remind your sons too often that you don't want or need their help. It might make them feel good to give you a hand once in awhile. 😊 Love your videos! ❤
If is not too late, there are plain pedestal sinks. You can always cut off the ordered vanity or any vanity you like legs and bolt it to the wall. Any competent handy man should be able to do this using cleats or lags bolted into the studs.
You just made my point about giving away you assets. Your prescription issue was likely to be due to your drug plan deductible and co-pay. Different drugs are in different tiers. I need an eye drop that is not on the Medicare formulary. It’s $577 for 3 months. My husband takes one that’s about the same for 3 months. Unless you are divesting yourself of your assets to make you eligible for public assistance, which would not be ethical, you are going to need what you have.
I don’t “have” anything. I am certainly not going to sell my house and try to live off the sale. That would last less than 7 years. I have done my due diligence and this would be the best scenario. Thanks for thinking!!
Omg… how do you do these “defend yourself” videos! Lol Your channel is so good.. let it go!! If you really do “I’ve stopped listening “, then you need to do THAT. I find this frustrating FOR you🙃 I worked for 25 years in a department store and was horrified at how many people had something to say to me about my hair, makeup, weight and age. I learned the tight lip smile then change the subject. I was never rude, but I NEVER responded to a question that was none of their business or concern. I pretended like it was never said. Move on. 😍 Take care.. you deserve your own happiness YOUR way❤️
Bad idea. You don’t give away your money till you’re dead. We never know what medical expenses you might have at a later date. You might need help at home. dental expenses add up. Please don’t be so shortsighted. Unless you are planning to
We are about the same age & I was once told by an older Aunty a few years back, you have to move it or loose it. She said that is so, so true. So I’m moving it even though I am slower, I don’t want to loose it! Keep it up Margaret ❤
My Mom was in a nursing home and always visited her. I could never walk away!! She was always independent and I believe she felt the nursing home gave her some independence as to not relying on family for help . However, we always visited and were her advocates.
because you both wanted that and it worked for you…I absolutely support that! In fact I think that’s great! It’s not what I personally want
Hi! Thank you for sharing! My kids are at their second year at the University and to hear your perspective as a parent about what to expect or what to ask from our kids helps more than you think.

love your sentiment!
I’m 100 percent with you. I don’t want my kids taking care of me!
I just watched Nanny, too. Now you're describing my life.
Lol
Your bathroom looks marvelous.. love all the upgrades...great job❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Margaret…….just love watching you. You are so natural 👍💕
I absolutely love you Margaret. Thank you for touching on some important topics. You go girl!,,
Thank you so much!
Exactly, Margaret!! Keep working on “home projects”. I’m 66 and do tons around the house. People tell me to stop doing so much and have others help me, but I need to keep working!

Glad you like them!
You are like me I hate clutter and get rid of so much everything I’m not using in one year ( out it goes)

Love your daisy theme…daisies are my favorite flower.❤😊
Yes,I love Nanny and the Moose also.
Margaret, the 297 was the deductible now you’ve paid the deductible so it’ll be $47 a month until you reach the donut hole. Have the pharmacist explain the donut hole to you. In other words, your deductible was $250 then $47 for the monthly cost of the prescription hence $297 now that you paid the 250 deductible it will be $47 a month. Until you reach the donut hole.
thank you.
I'm really sick and kidney disease. I can't work and not a lot of money. My kiddo and I put our money together to have home and get her through college
Not fun but I may not live 5 yrs before kidney transplant. I have given my whole life to my kidddo . Her dad left us high and dry when she was 7.
heartbreaking
I just bought a summer dress in your chair cover design and the first time on wearing it was told, I like your fried egg dress, umm.🤔 Really enjoy your videos ☀️ Happy 4th of July to you and all Americans from somebody in Europe.
that’s funny!
Margaret, just a reminder....opinions are like butt holes, everybody has one. You just keep doing you...ignore the critics. You are loved and appreciated, remember that above all. Don't change a thing!
Thank you.
I loved this longer video because I love you so much. xoxo
I'm so glad!
I have about 5 TH-cam channels I watch and you are one of them. I’m a retired hairdresser too. 🌺
Oh thank you!
everyone has their own taste so you do you ❤
I love nanny ❤
Thanks for sharing your day, I so enjoy your videos. Happy 4th! xo
Thank you! You too!
Margaret, your inhaler will be 297 for the first month then 47 for a few months then go up to about 167 till the end of the year, my husband has a steroid inhaler and we go through this every year. It is your co-pay varies all through the year. Your insurance should have explained all of this to you. I'm done listening! Love it! Have a very Happy 4th of July!!!
Thanks for the info!
I too have had a cough since I had covid.❤
Correct me if I’m wrong but if you don’t use the bathroom vanity for storage, then what about just getting a pedestal sink? It will also look more spacious.
my plumbing is wonky and the pipes come in from the side. Aesthetically it looks gross.🤷♀️
Like your pretty ceiling fan so nice , I watch Nany too she is beautiful
I have such a hard time not wanting to make everything better for my kids..especially my son with autism since he already misses out on so much.
It’s admittedly hard to stand by silently….I find grinding my teeth and biting my nails helps.😉
There you go…perfect sign off! I especially agree with you about letting children and older learn to cope and also learning consequences. I also agree with most everything you say/do. Do you think the vanity you got would look strange if you took the legs off and attached it to the wall so it would be easier to clean under?
So funny you say that, I was wondering the same thing. I’ll have to see how they are finished and attached. Thanks for mentioning it!
Hey Margaret, it's nice to hear other perspectives. I respect that you're independent and capable of doing for yourself. Please try your best not to close the door completely if your sons WANT to help. As a daughter, my Dad was very capable until about 8 months before he died. (And of course I helped when he got sick). But there were times he accepted help even though he was healthy and capable. It was because he knew it made ME feel good. You gotta do you M, maybe just don't remind your sons too often that you don't want or need their help. It might make them feel good to give you a hand once in awhile. 😊
Love your videos! ❤
I hear you.
If is not too late, there are plain pedestal sinks. You can always cut off the ordered vanity or any vanity you like legs and bolt it to the wall. Any competent handy man should be able to do this using cleats or lags bolted into the studs.
thanks. my plumbing is wonky and comes out of the side, so it looks ridiculous and aesthetically would drive me nuts! lol
OK, but normally copper pipes are easy to move or replace, a plumber could do it in an hour.
You just made my point about giving away you assets. Your prescription issue was likely to be due to your drug plan deductible and co-pay. Different drugs are in different tiers. I need an eye drop that is not on the Medicare formulary. It’s $577 for 3 months. My husband takes one that’s about the same for 3 months. Unless you are divesting yourself of your assets to make you eligible for public assistance, which would not be ethical, you are going to need what you have.
I don’t “have” anything. I am certainly not going to sell my house and try to live off the sale. That would last less than 7 years. I have done my due diligence and this would be the best scenario. Thanks for thinking!!
I do get up on ladders and huff and puff and it takes me longer to do put I’m so picky only I can do it right!
Hi Margaret, I found you from your comment on Susan’s channel. Now I’m going to go watch some of your older videos. OK I’m done now.
what’s the verdict? Your cup of tea? Yea or Nay.
Omg… how do you do these “defend yourself” videos! Lol
Your channel is so good.. let it go!! If you really do “I’ve stopped listening “, then you need to do THAT. I find this frustrating FOR you🙃
I worked for 25 years in a department store and was horrified at how many people had something to say to me about my hair, makeup, weight and age. I learned the tight lip smile then change the subject. I was never rude, but I NEVER responded to a question that was none of their business or concern. I pretended like it was never said. Move on.
😍
Take care.. you deserve your own happiness YOUR way❤️
it’s funny you say that, I never feel like I am defending myself!
@@MargaretbeingMargaret perhaps Explain is a better word… ? “Addressing their concerns”. ?
Lol
Maybe you had a deductible on your prescriptions. I also have a nodule in my lung.
I’m done Margaret 😆
good job!
😘
Those glasses make the end of your nose look deformed, lol 😂
Bad idea. You don’t give away your money till you’re dead. We never know what medical expenses you might have at a later date. You might need help at home. dental expenses add up.
Please don’t be so shortsighted.
Unless you are planning to
DOESN'T IT SAY IN THE BIBLE TO HONOUR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER?????!!!!!!!
Honour means high respect.
I’m done listening all about you.
sorry to hear that. wishing you the best.
