This is now at the top of my list as an all time favorite. I think I'll do this one in a lot of different cuts in the next couple of months. I just love this layout. Ingenious!!!
This is now one of my top 10 favorite puzzles. I like to look at color cards to try to get color ideas, but truthfully, I have never seen ones that are so long.????
The color cards in this puzzle contains about as many as I have in my drawer. Still have not decided which color to use on my living room walls...so I wait, and wait and wait until I get some kind of inspiration like a lightning bolt from the heavens above. Hah! I should be so lucky. Please someone, come and decide for me.
This is so pretty, and looks like it'll be fun to work.
I fell again last night. The old body is a hurting unit this morning, please keep me in your prayers. This is the 2nd time in a week. I'm going to call my doc today, he increased a medication a few weeks ago, and I think that's the reason I'm falling at night (imbalance.)
I think it is a good idea to check with your Doc. Falling is so very dangerous for us seniors. Hope you find your balance quickly. Take care.

Medication definitely caused dizzy spells for my Dearly Beloved, rahrah. Hope your doc will decrease your dosage.

I know the feeling, rahrah. I was taking strong muscle relaxers and fell one day. Hit my head against the wall, slammed my back against the kitchen counter, slid down and fell in the trash. Thought maybe I should just stay there. No longer take those meds.

Jas6415 says I too have suffered from falls. Make sure you drink lots of liquids. A slight dehydration makes you dizzy and light headed when you stand up. I learned that the lesson the hard way. Hope you recover quickly and regain your equalibrium

Rahrah, do you have nightlights that provide some low lighting for at night? My hubby has 4 spinal fusions and MS and we keep a soft-light nightlight in each room of our house for when he has to get up.

Rahrah, Do check on the higher dosage. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, dear friends, for your concern, support, and suggestions. trynfindit, yes I do use a nightlight and can see fine during the night. jas6415, I really do drink more water than the average person! lol I live in the desert where everyone carries bottled water with them wherever they go, even if it's just one block away. Besides that, my stepdad was a doctor, and he made sure everyone drank plenty. jmbpps1991, that sounds like a harrowing experience! I know about "just staying there! " The problem, I believe, is that the meds make you drowsy and I was handling that just fine. Then, with the double dose, I started falling off the commode when I visited it during the night, I'd fall asleep! Last night, I could feel my legs were asleep (from falling asleep on the john) so I wiggled them a bit, then got up. It was when I turned to go out of the room that my ankle twisted and down I went.

Jmbps1991 - I know it is not a laughing matter, but your episode did make me smile. Probably because I feel the same way now and then. Loving hugs and prayers for your recovery. My doctor has just changed my blood pressure meds, take the first one today, so hoping I don't have any strange reaction to it. Take care. Hugs.

Left a message for my doc, and just got back from urgent care. A few sore areas and a sprained ankle. Thank God (really) that no bones were broken. I think there is one sore angel in heaven tonight from breaking my fall. :)

Thank you, friends. JAMP, I agree! I have a choice right now to have tremors in my hands so bad that I can't "load" my toothbrush, or fall asleep. I only took 1 pill last night instead of 2. I should be hearing back from the doc today. In the meantime, I'll be extra careful. This only happens at nighttime.

Rahrah...take care of your "old" body hon. Mine is getting pretty creaky too and I'm extra careful going down stairs and watching so I don't trip on stuff. Hope your doctor takes a better look at your meds. Darn drugs...can't live with them and can't live without them.

Bless you heaps rahrah and hope you get this all sorted out soon. My doctor changed my blood pressure meds and I woke up this morning with what feels like morning sickness. But I can assure you at almost 78, it isn't!!! Hugs.

Oh my goodness - don't wish that on me rahrah. Had enough problems raising the one child I had and not looking forward to Mother's Day as I know she will not even bother to contact me and that hurts. I am sure there are others on here in the same boat. Hugs rahrah

Believe me, I would not wish that on anyone! Just having a bit of fun with you. Perhaps this Mother's Day you can reflect on your mother, instead of being a mother. Spend the day remembering good times, special moments, funny events. I hope your mother was a nice, loving sort of woman so you have good memories.

Thank you for that thought rahrah, my mother loved me I knew that for sure, but she was not very good at expressing that love. But will think of all she did for me before I left home. Hugs.
