I still have my gloworm! The little one is in my China cabinet. I think the one you could sleep with is in the attic anyway.



That would have been a more likely scenario in my family too. Most of my cousins are either brown or green eyed. Grandparents too. My dad and I are blue. I think everyone i met on DHs side are more of the brown leaning shades of hazel. DH is mostly green. Apparently the blue gene is in there! My nieces and nephews have the blues too. Their dad is half Chinese but his mom is a redhead.
Both my parents had green eyes, my dad's is really green like mine, and my mom's was a bluish green. My MIL's mom had blue eyes, so there was some recessive back there that apparently went to 6 out of 8 of her great granddaughters.

Maybe my grandkids will pick up the green gene. I’m told my Italian great-grandma had absolutely beautiful green eyes. My Polish grandma and mom have them. Several cousins do but the one comes from her fathers side because they all have the same shade of green.

I like my blue eyes and my blue eyed babies. When I’m highly emotional they can be a teal blue green. And it shifts with my outfit. So that’s fun to play up. It worked well at my nieces wedding. :thumbsup:

These are what I got for the eye color bracelet. Its not perfect; but I still can’t wait to pick out which beads exactly. Like the darker green won’t work for DH. And some blues are better than others.

I LOVE green eyes- my family all have those beautiful piercing green eyes or blue & they are mostly blondes .... only my cousin and I have brown eyes and very dark hair ( black)- everyone always thinks my cousin Mikie and I are a siblings,his sister( my cousin) has blonde hair and green eyes

I'm looking at my dishwasher and thinking " seriously?"

I had no hot water heater and finally the plumber came,it's fixed but my tank is under the counter in the dead space behind my dishwasher- the guy was like the nicest person on the planet but also the slowest person you could imagine- I tolerated much because he was so nice,a 4 hr MAX job turned into 8hrs....when it came time to put the dishwasher back it was crooked,not flush with the counter,a big gap until plus my vinyl tiles got pulled up and dragged under it ...I said " no ,this is unacceptable and told him what I just explained here ....

The " nice guy" flipped a switch and told me I was ruining everything after he kissed my ___ all day! I guess because I know the owner and field supervisor so well they probably told him to be nice & do a good job or something.... I told him that gee,he fooled me because I thought he was really nice,had no idea he was putting on a show and kissing my butt..... But it needs to go back the way he found it .. I'd not have said a thing to his boss had he not made his next comment . " Youre just beijg petty & unreasonable" !!!! Okee doke I said,time for you to leave.....he said "But what about.." . ..NOPE,get out!

So I texted his boss" Send someone who can install a dishwasher neatly and repair my tiles" Of course in the next 10seconds I got a call ....

What's wrong with people these days? Everything is wonderful until you say" I'm not happy with such n such" and you're paying top dollar! Never does a worker come to my home and not get treated well,beverage,lunch,crank up the AC......Thin skin I suppose,any thing you say someone is offended.... It's not personal for goodness sakes,you have to leave a home as nicely you found it,right?

We had a leak in our kitchen sink. The guy came in he's 6 foot 4 and all he did was complain about having to get under the sink. It was the gasket on the drain.He didn't bring a toolbox or anything in with him so he made multiple trips out to his truck. It took him 4 hours to replace a gasket. He was the owners son, needless to say we have not used the company since.

It's your place, and your money, so he has no kick coming.........well, maybe, in a certain tender spot, but I digress. I learned at an early age that when you're working on someone's car, you give it back to them better than when they turned it over, even if it was a simple oil change. I have encountered repair techs like yours a time or two, and they or their company never get another bite at the apple. Again, it's my money, and he who pays the piper gets to call the tune. Good on you for not accepting slipshod work.

I had an issue once with someone repairing my dishwasher door. The man was DEFINITELY overbooked so I do understand that. He was hours later than anticipated. He was all friendly and kind when he thought he fixed it. Even wanted to pray for me when he realized we shared a common faith. Once we saw the door was still not right making steam escape the top…his whole demeanor changed and he was outta here.

It was under warranty so someone else got sent by the manufacturer. That man quickly found all he needed to do was replace the hinges. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not kidding!!!! And whining the whole time. That morning I had just brought my mother home after a more then a month hospital stay, otherwise I would have kicked him out. I just had a lot of important things to deal with then spending more time finding another plumber.

Sometimes you find what substance you’re really made of under pressure. 😕

M must have had a nightmare last night, because she screamed way differently than her normal waking up cry. Then she just couldn't settle back down and kept waking up.

And then woke J up, at like 6:30. "Mommy, look, the sun is here. It's time to wake up!!!"

I'm currently so exhausted I could go to bed now, at 6:30pm, lol.

I am sooo jealous! It's been 2 weeks. No one has come for my unusable stove or oven. Lots of TV dinners and delivery. Since Friday my bathroom sink has been clogged even after getting the hair out. Now only dirt comes out
I took a shower and accidentally left the water running so after my long relaxing shower the bathroom was flooded. Apartments will have lenders inspection tomorrow so the leasing office will get in trouble

Oh gee,so sorry you've got all those issues going on in your apt- the leasing people are responsible,right? Is a lender inspection comparable to like a " housing authority" to ensure inhabitable standard of living for the tenants?

Yes,just like housing authority.The rent will go up next year since maintenance will do alot of repairing. The apartments old so the weather stripping is bad. Wood work is in poor condition in bathroom and bedroom

Digger had her surgery today, and aside from a 4-by-6 inch shaved area on her back, and a bit of loopiness from the anesthetic, she came out well. What will (figuratively) kill her, and the others as well, is that she won't be allowed to climb for the next two weeks, so all the cat trees have been put away until then. The other thing is that we have prepared a room for her apart from the others at night. I am sure that she won't be pleased with that, either, as she is the gregarious one.

I'm glad to hear her surgery went well- she's certainly in good hands .You said 2 weeks before she's allowed to climb and jump again,is that when full recovery is expected or....?
