I wish I could pay staff!! I've had a staffer on Christianity Haven who has been with us for years and years. He's a wonderful elderly gentleman and I appreciate the time he's put into the forum.

I eat a lot of sugar too, but not because of stress. I just enjoy it too much

Do you tend to go back to church more often around Christmastime?

Advent starts Nov 30 and I like attending services then, but as soon as Christmas comes, I find that it's so cold outside and weather gets bad that I'm not there as often.

How often do you get your blood work done and for what?

I get blood work for my thyroid hormones at least twice a year, but sometimes more often if I'm struggling to keep my numbers in range.

I should get the other basic blood work done more often, but that's usually done every other year.

Do you have clothing for your pets?

My dog used to love being dressed in her winter sweaters! And she looked adorable too.

In the US, inflation has gone down a lot and now we're in a good place. It takes a while before consumers feel it though and I still look for the sale prices on items I buy.

Welcome, Pugsley!

We order pizza on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas Day my daughter will be here with her bulldog. I'm so excited because it's been a few years since I've had her here on Christmas morning!

Welcome, Megan!

We make homemade ravioli!! It's a huge process and we freeze some and give some to our daughter. This year my daughter will be here to help make them.
