So confused!

Classroom for DKG use

rosallee13 — 2019-05-02 16:56:32 UTC

I was supposed to meet with Annette today (May 2, 2019) but we had to postpone. I don't know if this will work with our group, but it would be nice if classroom could be used to communicate with our sisters, right? I'm thinking notices, surveys, sign ups, info sharing...not to replace the website, but with interactive capabilities.

May the Fourth be with you

The Kentucky Derby winner got disqualified; I never made it to the Food Truck event; car purchase is a hot issue right now....not sure what the outcome will be; we have two roof companies coming for estimates this week; I am looking forward to Sugarfootin' Sunday, deluge or rain notwithstanding.

We're all packed and ready to leave for Nashville. We left around 8 a.m. and arrived like 14 hours later (forty minutes of which I was the driver!)

Procrastinated an hour into Sugarfootin' already, but what else is new? :-)
Paid bills (but have to call citicard in a panic tomorrow to waive interest if I can ...late omg). I discovered my forgotten interest bearing certificate at Citadel. Good. Jackson wants to come down and beach it with us. Fun. Ann tomorrow and a busy week of eating in store for me. Tom still in pain. We seem to have dropped the ball of roofers search. (and car?) Just paid registration renewal for both....

We slept in until noon and then headed down to the Block Party and Cracker Barrel songsters for music and fun.

Friday June 7 in Nashville

rosallee13 — 2019-06-07 14:54:39 UTC

Stormiest CMA Fest ever. Message to stay in a safe place is a discouraging way yo start the day. :-(

Last day

rosallee13 — 2019-06-09 21:54:09 UTC

Met Morgan Evans

And we're back....

rosallee — 2019-06-12 22:46:22 UTC

June 12- I went to the Max and then Tom went to play golf (!) and it was ok. We are procrastinating (I am. He is napping) en route to Prospectors.
Last night we saw two movies- Phoenix Rising (that's X-Men to you!) and Rocketman. Not blown away by either, but each ok in their own way.

June14th-

rosallee — 2019-06-14 18:45:37 UTC

I had to skip SHIP today for Tom's BCG treatment (poor Tom!) Thank goodness for Sigrid and her flexibility!
I guess dancing tonight is out. Hoping to get to Darryl's tomorrow.

June 23rd

Last Sugarfootin' until August. It was really empty but I had fun and 14,000 steps later I was pretty ragged!

July 19, 2019

Yesterday would have been Jeff's 65th birthday. I thought about him all day. I wonder if there was any kind of family memorial conclave. I regret being so out of touch.
In other news, it turns out not going to Seaside to dance was a good decision. Maybe we can go next week.
Our electric bill for the month is $444. This month's heat wave is going to be a killer too. :-(

July 22- Big storm today after we got home, just as I was getting ready to go to the 6 p.m. Max class (and didn't). Reports of downed trees at the locations we were earlier in the day and someone saw a tornado hit in Willingboro. Gee Gee called just before that to make sure we were ok.

rosallee13 — 2019-07-23 00:04:03 UTC

July 28 and getting ready to go to NYC to see The Cher Show with Marcia. :-)

rosallee — 2019-07-28 11:46:00 UTC

Sorry, though, Tom isn't feeling well...…. :-(

Big week coming

rosallee13 — 2019-09-09 05:22:32 UTC

I did some things in August and now it is the second week of September already. Wow. The big excitement of the previous week was misplacing and then eventually finding our need to be renewed passports as well as buying and having a heating/air conditioning system and water heater installed ($8700) and now I need to pay for the new time share (?!!) we bought while at Vacation Village in FL.($11, 763)
This week will include an HRBlock class, lunch with Gee Gee, DEAR lunch, SHIP counseling, Mail Chimp NJEA training and more

We still haven't worked seriously on setting up a FL vacation we expect to go on in like two weeks. This isn't good....
I'm thinking air isn't going to be an available way to get there, so we have to figure out how to stay for long enough to make driving worthwhile. (And pray that weather doesn't turn wintry bad and pray Tom's health makes it a) suitable for driving the 3000 mile roundtrip and b) enjoy the vacation time.
Work at HR Block is going to be different this year. Hope it all works out with the work place.
Things are mostly okay...not dancing as much, missed a week of Max, eating Halloween candy addictively, aches and pains but good stuff: seeing old friends, back to movie going, lots of lunches (although that may not be good...), but I digress. Time for bed.

August 31, 2020

rosallee — 2020-08-31 17:25:58 UTC

Still staying in due to Covid-19 (since March 12). It's been a long internment...
Gyms are opening tomorrow. I have to go cancel our Planet Fitness accounts before they start charging us for not going...and Tom's Virtua one too.
I will keep the Max (I wonder if the price will go back up).
Still no inside eating or dancing.

Photobucket issues

rosallee13 — 2021-05-16 21:30:48 UTC

Sent this note:
Once upon a time I had as many as five free photobucket accounts. I put photos up on them and could get them back out if I needed or wanted to. Over the years, the photobucket program I was accustomed to changed and got very hard to see/work with. In the last year or so (or more?) photobucket started changing. Like many programs that started as free and later started charging or ending, I got messages regarding photobuckets new policies. Unlike other photo storing programs, however, photobucket had no option for getting my photos back out. I had sooo many old pictures. I couldn't afford to pay the monthly money for each account just to maintain those photos. I picked one account and have been paying $5.99 a month now for awhile but I really don't want to. Now I got a threat that I am misusing the account somehow???
I noticed there was a new download option(?), but it didn't work for me.
Anyway, please advise.
My old accounts (most of which, I'm sure are unrecoverable) were :
rokaysal, S184.photobucket.com
rosallee s16.photobucket.com
classie308 s202.photobucket.com
deapix s305.photobucket.com
and the one I am currently paying monthly for: rosayahsallee s193.photobucket.com
I'd appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Roberta Sallee

And now 2022 is almost over

rosallee13 — 2022-12-01 01:56:19 UTC

Tom had kidney related surgery the day before, so we spent Thanksgiving in the hospital. He is getting better now.

April 26, 2023

rosallee13 — 2023-04-26 20:25:06 UTC

Tax season 2023 is over and I am back to lazing around and eating whatever Tom hands me.
We have seen several movies and plan on dancing tonight. Ah...this is the retired life I know and love....
I just poor Tom was healthier. :-( Tomorrow is his second shot in the blurry eye. BCG treatments are making him sick every week.
I hope to reconnect with long missing friends like GeeGee and Marcia and keep up with Dolly. I am looking forward to seeing Ann and Gina again soon.
Adele is four and I've never met her. Mason would be fun to meet too. When was the last time we were in CA? Or FL? (Darn covid and ill health).
I went to the NJEA Communication Tools workshop. Did I learn anything besides the names Canva and Photopea? No, sad to say.

Christmas Week 2023

rosallee13 — 2023-12-27 14:49:16 UTC

Tom and I didn't do anything special, but Sue had some special people over for Christmas and sent photos so we could enjoy the get together too!

Previously we were in Orlando and next week is Tom's surgery. Please, God, let all the cancer be gone and Tom feel better and better.

Wedding on the horizon

rosallee13 — 2024-05-05 09:00:14 UTC

So now I need at least two fancy dresses for the upcoming Cody wedding.

Jennifer, Jass, and April are coming in on the 22nd at 4 a.m. The train is a hassle with luggage, but I don't know if Tom is up for a drive to Brookllyn via the city...getting to Bradley's that time was pretty rough...

My eyes are fading fast....
