My fortune cookie, sees a well deserved trip to Kohl's, this week. 🤭

I just went shopping Nacy. I NEVER EVER do. Went to Target and got two pairs of great "cargo" pants (lots of room for cellphone, ID, dog treats), two pairs of lightweight sweats, two tee shirts, all for 130.00 at Target. The one pair of cargos are made by Wrangler, my favorite for jeans. I am usually in blue jeans and tees at all times, and I feel just the fashion PLATE in my new pants. Told my daughter I was "all dressed up" and no place to go and she says "Meet you in Chicago for the weekend; deep dish pizza". Wow, my memories of our last trip there were tripped big time.
Had fun with that shopping trip. First time I enjoyed it (despite the fitting room lighting which should be banned in all 50 states).
My condolences on loss of your Uncle, my woman.

So out of curiosity I looked up "wrangler women's cargo pants" (because I'm always on the lookout for comfortable, practical pants) and came up with a price of $69 C per pair. I don't think I can get close to your bargain prices Alva.

Nacy,
Good for you and your fortune cookie is right.
If I get fortune cookie it will tell me; stop buying clothes woman.
Yes, I admit I am shopaholic. But I can quit cold turkey.
Really it is more about loving beautiful things as I see them.
The problem is we moved to condo and of course there is less space.
Nacy, so sorry about your uncle.

They look comfy though, I see they have them at tractor supply for 40.

Reminds me of the lesbian national anthem, lol it's a comedians song on Instagram. A friend sent it to me when I got my Subaru .I'm check off way to many of the boxes, with cargo pants. 😂

Wow, cwillie. Is that because of the Candada USA thing? YIKES. I believe they are USA brand and wondering if a tariff on them??? Because mine were 30.00 at Target. Not even on sale and the most wonderful sort of navy blue-grey color that almost makes them look like well worn jeans. Could have gone with the tan. My target tee shirt, my favorite which is kind of a boxey overside short sleeve that is kind of short, below belt length--up from 6.00 in past to 8.00 now. Still a bargain though don't last forever with washing washing. Just about buy them in black by the dozen!

Good for you eva, if that's what you like that's awesome, I think if I lived in a city I would be like that too. I use to dress up a lot more, and people would give me looks,,,

Now I'm use to not dressing up and happy with that too.

As far as covid , doesn't look like I'm out of the woods yet, step son , upstairs is pretty sick.

Just had his dad check on him, because I haven't heard him moving around all day.

If I don't get sick , then I'm probably the carrier

Not getting sick doesn't mean you are the carrier, Nacy.
It means you have a stronger immune system or were not exposed in the same way at the same time to the same virus.
None of this is really on you.

I took care of my daughter and DH October of 2020 with Covid . I didn’t get it then . I got it spring of 2021 from the family I worked ( nannied ) for at the time because I could not keep any distance taking care of a 3 month old infant with it . The whole family got it , the 3 year old brought it home from preschool . At one point the two parents were upstairs in bed while I took care of both kids . The parents were very sick . I was able to function . I got it last and didn’t miss a day of work .

Just ordered some flowery dresses from curvedream online.
The clothes all look beautiful.
Don't mean to fight the casual trend, but I feel fall traditionally brings on dressier clothing.
If I don't like them at only 35 dollars, I can wear them as a house dress.

Send, thanks for the new resource for clothes. I am definitely going to spend too much buying the gorgeous dresses and tops.

I hope you feel beautiful in your new dresses.

Thank you Isthisrealyreal.
I hope they arrive!
Soon.

Wait.
Online reviews indicate delivery may be an issue/delayed or wrong product.
Coming from Hong Kong with no delivery date given. They did not tell me that.

Their products might not be their own.
Such a large selection.

Do the clothes look too beautiful to be true?

Ols cancel my recommendation.

I would feel so very bad to have misled anyone.

Waiting on delivery.

Something doesn't feel right about my clothing order.
It is possible I had made this same mistake over 5 years ago.
The names have changed, but the m.o is the same.

A beautiful product arrives, made weirdly, in a way that leaves no room for normal body parts.

I now recall that you must pay for returns.

Not worth it.

I just did not learn my lesson.

I will write again if it all comes out good.

I should have read the reviews.

I will wait to hear from you Send.

Yes, the clothes are lovely and I noticed one of the models looked like she had to stand funny to not have the sleeve stretched. Truly is a buyer beware, when I tried to read their return policy it would not come up, makes sense now.

I just placed an Amazon order that can be expected before Oct 16, so something is up with deliveries apparently. Good thing it isn't anything I need right away.

Thanks for the update.

Sendhelp,
I did that as well and felt stupid.
Ordered from one of those online store because they had those greek tunic dresses which I really loved in my fav store.
Well, it arrived, cheap clingy polyester, size small in asian sizes is like size 0. $40.00 gone.
Good thing hubby gave me Gift certificate to my fav store and I purchased two authentic greek tunics, which are beautiful and will last at least 5 years.
Great cotton, beautiful design.
And they were on sale!
For good measure I ordered another one from original store in Greece, which had sale and I got another discount.
I can wear them all summer, take on every trip and wear with snickers and hat for tour or at night with nice sandals and some delicate jewelry.
Diversity, durability and quality!

Feeling the same here Evamar.
The dresses may never arrive.
A friend told me something about a port strike?

For this new month, starting today, we are on a strict budget.
Considering cancelling a lot of automated payments.
Can I be strong enough to cancel instacart too? We will see.

Yes, port strike. Biggest in many decades. Funny how you so seldom get the real news anymore, but just repetitive same old stories over and over. I found an app I LOVE which is CNNs app called 5 things. It gives a very brief paragraph on five things you really should know this this day. The port strike was one. Covers the world so you can imagine you get 5 IMPORTANT things.

Adding to this for no reason at all! Jimmy Carter is 100.

That's sounds really good Alva I'll look into that app!!

Alva that is excellent app.
Nacy, yes Jimmy Carter wants to be alive at least to vote which begins mid October. It is going to be interesting Nov, I think entire world will be watching
Sadly, his grandson gave update on his health and he is sleeping most of the time.
Jimmy Carter some years ago talked about longevity and what contributed in his view to this, one was finding purpose in life.
I am thinking about that often as it seems to me caregiving cannot be it for me, what if something changes drastically?

Eva, your right finding something that gives you a purpose in life is so important, I think it changes year by year.

Id think even my mom feeding her squirrel friends can give you a purpose.

I am wondering if after covid, we should watch out for UTIs?

My brother had one after covid, I expect it had something to do with dehydration, he has never ha one before.

Just wondering, anyone else experience this?

Nacy, I had covid twice and both times had UTIs right after. So I think it is a good idea to keep a look out for that.
