    Just let you know it’s refreshing to know at my age of 62 I do the same things and I’m not alone 😂😂❤ you are funny and always look forward to your videos. Your hair looks great and ignore the nagative, if anyone don’t like a specific thing you say or your looks, then they can move on. You need positive people to uplift you and not be critical. Stay true to your self and continue be the beautiful Margaret you are. Watching from Wisconsin. 🤗❤️🙏

    I do that with my keys more than I'd like to admit. I lose everything. I had to buy one of those tracking gizmos. It has 6 different colors of buttons on the remote and 6 tags, one of each color, that you attach to your items. I have one on my keys, one on my phone, one in my billfold, one on my checkbook and one in my purse. And I misplaced the remote.

    So glad to see your coffee accident. I have a combo coffee maker/single cup maker. Yesterday I thought I was brewing a pot, put the water in and hit brew. A few seconds later it wasn't brewing and said to add water. No wonder, I had brewed a single cup the day before and forgot to switch back so a single cup of coffee was all over the counter. Also I thought I hadn't added enough water for the carafe so I added more---to overflowing. My sister tells me I remind her of Margaret with the things I do. Love your videos!!

    New to your page, but subscribed because I love your accent(Im from Ma) and sense of humor - 10 years older than you thankful still active and mind (as far as I knowLOL) still going pretty good. Retired with hubby to the south (SC) he had heart issues so, getting out of snow, sadly lost him 3 years ago, looking to move back (maybe) lots of teasing about my accent and 18 years later still going strong - lived there all my life so “proud of no R’s”. I’ve only done U-tube for a couple of years and really started because I quilt and was looking for quilting videos., - on your haircut - I think it looks great - have mine a little longer right now and looking at yours thinking, Mmmm should I go back to shorter? Like that cut. I am absolutely amazed and can’t get over what people say to the presenters on Facebook and I’m talking all the different ones whether it be make up or clothes that they’re trying on, etc.. There’s so many different ones, but a couple of them have talked about shutting offcomments because they get such cruel remarks - part of the disadvantage of social media is the ability to post and not have to say something face to face. Would they have the guts if standing in front of you, what they feel they can add to your comments??? Anyway, I think you are a lot of fun and I enjoy you. Thanks for posting.

    @angelaallen2190 2 месяца назад +1

    I think people are bullies for saying things like what they said regarding your hair cut (which I think is pretty) and another thing that I believe is so rude is when someone says to me: "you look tired". People get their jollies by attacking other people. Karma has a way of getting them back though in some form or another.

    Condolences to Nikki and her family. The two words you used to describe it was perfection.
    When I go out anymore especially by myself I always think, “Let’s get through this one store from entering to leaving without any mishaps, especially at checkout.” 😂 It can be a challenge at times not to mess up.
    One time at HomeGoods/TJMaxx, I looked down when paying and there on the edge of trim towards the bottom of the cabinet standing straight on its edge was someone’s credit/debit card! How it managed to land like that is anyone’s guess. ETA: I like your haircut. 🤗

    Oh my a hearty eater your little one is, maybe a growing spurt. You poor dear and thank you for sharing so I don't feel so bad about my days like yours...coffee, keys, cards etc. You've made my day brighter! Yes shame on them & my sister anytime i share a picture she lovingly critizes she's more diplomatic than no offense prerequisite. Either they didn't listen or aren't using the move on if you don't have anything nice to say, hush!! I'm probably guilty of that on those I dislike, taking my own advice. And never put such things in writing. You look great & have a wonderful rest of your week ❤.

    Hi Margaret, when you were showing us how you left your keys in the back door, I noticed your deadbolt wasn’t keyed. Since you have glass in the door for safety you should get a keyed deadbolt on inside as well. Just food for thought! Sorry to hear about your daughter in law’s mother. Prayers to the family.

      Those might be illegal depending on where you live. Of course if you put it in your own house nobody’s going to know, it would just be when you go to sell that it would be a problem with inspections. If there’s a fire or something and people are panicking or someone who doesn’t live there doesn’t know where the key is they can’t get out quickly.

    • @user-hg3xt1ps5d
      @user-hg3xt1ps5d 3 месяца назад

      I’ve never heard that they would be or are illegal to have. I have always kept a color coded key by each door in the same place for that reason only. Security services and even the police department say if your door has glass that it’s wise to have a keyed deadbolt. If not all the intruder has to do is flip the switch and they are in.

    • @LynsAlteredArts

      You might be very right in your understanding depending on where you have lived. We had to relocate due to job transfers, so we bought and sold homes in Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, California, and Atlanta. The sales were never contingent on the locks having to be replaced. So it was honestly news to me. Anyway certainly wasn’t wanting to put you on the defensive. I just passed on what security companies passed on to me over the years. You have a blessed day!

      That’s exactly what I say too! It’s too tough a job for just a companion! I forget to put the cup under the coffe maker, and a couple times forgot to put the water in, one time forgot to put the pod in. I don’t know how many times I’ve lost my reading glasses around the house. A week ago I lost my distance glasses that I had put in a foam glasses container in my purse. The next time I needed to drive I couldn’t find either the case or glasses. I’ve emptied the purse, searched the house and the car…nowhere! Luckily I have another pair I have been using but what happened to the container and glasses?!? 👵🏻🤪

    • @LynsAlteredArts
      @LynsAlteredArts 3 месяца назад +1

      I definitely need a keeper. I’ve left my keys in my front door before all night, and I don’t live in a real safe neighborhood. My neighbor across street has left the garage door up all night and they’ve left the hatch to their SUV up all night. Luckily they didn’t get burgled. When I saw the garage door open, I texted them but the husband had turned his phone off to go to bed, and I don’t know what the wife had done but she didn’t see the text either until the next day. I’ve left my car door open all night, not unlocked, wide open but luckily I park in the garage, the things we do. I don’t lose my glasses because I keep them in the car and that’s really the only place I wear them.

As for your hair it's funny because that's exactly what I want I like messy texture piecey hair. But I want it short on the bottom and long layers on top just like yours. People are rude I swear they have no manners. As for all your little mishaps, my mother used to tell my sisters and I, even in our 60s, that we need to just slow down, slow down and pay attention to what we're doing.
