going nuts?

When my Momma died last year, my sister gave me her watch. It had been my Dad's but for years Mom wore it because it has a big face. Well I need glasses to see a small face and my sister thought I would get a lot of use out of Momma watch. I have, but everytime I would ware it I would get this funny feeling.I didn't know if I was having a spiritual expierence or not. I could SMELL my Momma. I didnt connect it to the watch untill today. It still smells like her favorite perfume! Up until today I was just getting a slight whiff and the smell seemed to come from no where, and I would cry just remembering her. I would ask the open air, Momma are you there? Well, Her watch was there, seems that every time I waved that arm near my face I could smell it. On one hand its is very funny and I can see her laughing deep and hardy with my Dad about it. I was always their family clown.

On the other hand, I wish there was still some mystery, some hope of ... oh I dont know. Has anyone ever had a similaur expierence? Thanks Vicki

Vicki, no you aren't going nuts! That is a very sweet story. My mom passed over 3 years ago now, and I still wake up hoping I just had a bad dream,...it can't be. The world cannot keep spinning without my mom here with me. I have some of her jewelery that still has her scent on it. And not the same thing, but the first year after her passing I awoke to a strong smell of a perfume in the air. Not man made perfume but a smell of a field of fresh wildflowers. Twice this happend and both times lasted for 30-40 seconds. As the scent faded I got a whiff of fresh cinammon the first time and the second time a definite odor of cigarette smoke. My mom is still being stubborn and smoking even in heaven? Or a sign of a different nature. I don't know. The cinammon made me laugh because once she bought a tiny vial of cinammon extract that you were supposed to put on a decorative whisk broom (don't ask, a country decoration of some type!) and she accidently spilled the whole thing. The house smelled of cinammon for weeks and we sure did laugh about that!

I haven't had any visits from her lately except in dreams. She was the person I loved the most and she loved me more than anybody and the hurt and pain never go away.

Vicki, I just want to say there are others out here that hurt like you do. All we can do is honor their memory and live a good life. I just know that I'm over 1200 days closer to being with her in heaven than the day she passed over.

Dear Duane,
Thank you. Thank you so much. I have had several expierences with my Dad before my Mom died. I can not explaine the expierence to others, but I dont think I'd have to with you. I have only seen my Mom in one dream and she was crying because I have not done something I had promised to do.
Thank you for being so understanding. Grief is truly an expierence one must have personal expierence with to even start to comprehend the depth and sense of loss and longing. I' so sorry that you too understand, but I am greatful, Thank you, Vikci

it appears to be from a website with bargains.com in the name. Is that a site you frequent and have a user name and password for? I would go ahead and run an updated malwarebytes scan to make sure you dont't have something hinky going on. Always a good idea to run malwarebytes anyway occasionally. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware that is the free version stick with the free one.

What color PebbleTec should we get -- going nuts!!

My wife and I were in the same predicament over choosing the color for our pool also. We wanted a blue but didn't want any green shade to the water . We were happy with the "blueness" of Blue Granite but like yourself we didn't care for the rather dull or grayish look in shallow water. We ended up choosing Midnight Blue PS and couldn't be happier. we actually have Sandy Beach in our beach entry for the first 15' of the ramp down, and while we were already paying the upcharge for two diferent colors of pebble application, We had them do our entire spa in Sandy Beach PS as well as we felt the sandy beach pebble looks great in shallow water, at least better than any of the darker pebble choices. We too have the Oklahoma flagstone and I think the Midnight Blue and Oklahoma compliment each other nicely.good luck with your project.

Debbie Branka, Sorry, this is OT for the thread ... Calypsos won't run with the lid open unless the safety lid switch is bypassed so you probably have not seen a full view of the Calypso wash action. Have a look at these videos, and explain how dry spots could occur with all the load continually exposed to the pumped water flow during both washing and rinsing? The basket rotates clockwise at 60 RPM to saturate the load through the flow. The load rotates counterclockwise through the flow and rolls over from inside to outside during nutation (when the wash plate wobbles). Calypso - short clip - the fill level is a bit low in this example. The recirculation stream varies in volume, which it wouldn't on a proper fill. Kenmore Calypso - This is not a full cycle, the clip is edited/shortened to show a few phases. 2:08 is a fresh water spray for one of the several rinsing periods. Kenmore Calypso wash action Whirlpool Calypso - Full wash period, Normal cycle

6 is Nuloom Farroe Faded lace 4 is Edessa tribal medallion I believe it's also Nuloom 3 is Arabella Faded Crowned Rosette 5 is Waverly rowed diamonds I actually found the Waverly Rowed Diamonds at RugsUSA.Com when I was searching the names for you. I didn't see it any other place. Arabella Fades is on Amazon and other sites. Some of them come in multiple colors so be aware of that. I took them from a file folder so I had to look them up to see they are still out there and they are. This may be to geometric for you, but saw you has some blue/green on your board. This is Jaipur rugs Desert Carcal (it's extremely thin though if you have children it may be a fuss).
