    Roger was a controlling, unkind, greedy-butt guy underneath! Glad you made it through and I hope Mark continues to be a positive in your life! The gift baskets and the floral arrangement are so pretty! I am looking forward to seeing you collect mid century modern items. My favorite decorating era right now! Your new decorating direction is going to be so fun!

      My two cents, we've only heard one side of the story. I'd like to hear Roger's side before deciding to label him. I have emotionally needy friends who need reassurance constantly. I love them dearly, have known them my whole life, but they can be exhausting. Generally, I'm ok with it, but there are days when I just don't have the energy to be a cheerleader. I just want to go out/hang out with them and enjoy myself. Maybe good old Roger was having one of those days?? P. S. I'd rather be over-dressed, than under-dressed. No one knows where you were prior to the restaurant, and who cares what any one else thinks anyway! We are always our own worst critics. I'd bet $$$ that you looked fab!!

      @@Cindy-cj8bw, yes that's true. A bad day. Like he screwed up and felt bad himself. Maybe needed support. OR wanted a woman who would have brushed it off and just had fun with it...
      Still he could have be , a little more tactful. If he doesn't want the kind of woman who needs emotional support.
      I am one who needs alot of emotional support and just had this talk with my bf. He gets defensive instead of supporting my feelings.
      And that is SO STRESSFUL FOR ME. I tell him if he can't handle one of my love languages,, and two others, maybe we shouldn't be together.
      I have had plenty of men/friends who are supportive.
      MEN too nerd emotional support, they have so few outlets for their feelings. And frankly many don't know how to.manage. ans get violent etc ..
      Sad we humans can't be all things all the time. But at least he could have been kind about it.

    Your gifts are so beautiful & thoughtful. I’m sure everyone will love their special gift. The Goodwill looks more like a department store. So many wonderful items in it. Love the centerpiece you made. It’s very elegant. Mark seems like a nice man. He doesn’t seem like the person who talks all about themselves. Nothing worse than a one sided conversation. You were lucky that Roger showed his true colors. A kind person would make you feel comfortable without asking. He seemed like a self centered bastard. You are well rid of him. Desi is adorable & has come completely out of his shell. He wears his bow ties with joie de vivre. Happy anniversary Susan & Desi. Love you, Lucy

    I cant tell you how much I enjoy your thrift store finds and your deep feeling talks that really draw people into your heart felt emotions and touch us all. I loved how you put it about how that jerk loved you when you were strong but had no time for you when you were weak or in need of comfort. So many women have been treated this way by men where we always have to be pleasant and pleasing while making us feel like a needy drag if we show anything otherwise. Those words were perfect to make his behaviour and the bad person he is hit home. None of us should ever be treated unkindly or made to feel like insecurity at times is unnatural or pathetic. Loving people appreciate that humanity and fragility. It is humble in essence. A good person would become tender. A gentlemen would make you feel confident and make every effort to put you at ease.

    Hi Susan, I bet you must be excited about hosting Christmas for your family. I host Christmas every year at my house and love having the family over especially my grandsons. The gifts you selected for your friends are very thoughtful. I’m sure they will be very thankful to get them. It’s funny because when you showed the photos of the mid century modern rooms they didn’t look like ones that I would picture you to like. They seemed cold and your home is very warm and inviting. You have such a knack for selecting things that fit right in with what you have in your home. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hugs, Dolores ❤️🥰💋

    I wouldn't have missed one single video with Desi!! I love that little fellow! He's sooo happy with his Mama, Suz! Please don't EVER let ANYTHING OR ANYONE separate you, because I can already tell you, that sweet little boy would not do well, and probably would not live long. He loves his Mama, treats, and running zooming OUTSIDE(which is something he never got to do, before his Mama that LOVES him took over his care. Do you know how many times I have re-watched all his videos? Too many to count! I love him and his cute little self THAT much!

    Good Morning Susan!
    I loved this visit today from you and Desi. I am almost moved into my new "lady condo" and I feel like you were here with me having coffee.
    I love how you share your life experiences, I don't feel so alone when you do.
    I am glad for you that you have met a wonderful man that brings more happiness to your life.
    For now, I am taking a break from dating. In August I broke up with a man that was interesting but the relationship was not what I wanted. I am now building a relationship with my new home, and really caring for myself. Purging so many things from the past 35 years in my previous home plus all the family memories that were handed down to me from parents, grandparents and other family memories is enough for me to process.
    thanks for the idea of the Dolly Parton towels...my new daughter in law loves Dolly! Now I know what to send her for Christmas.
    Got to run, my second oldest son, his wife and my grandson are meeting me at the old house to continue purging so I can put it on the market ASAP. This woman doesn't need 2 houses.

    Happy Anniversary to you and Desi!! Oh Susan I am so happy to hear about you and Mark! I believe there will be more and more of the Susan & Mark story, much much more my friend. I have tears of happiness for you. There was a man in my life that made me feel awful about myself for many years, I thought I'd never find my soulmate but when I wasn't looking, he came into my life. I took it very slow because of the hurt in my heart and trust issues but he didn't give up on me. He didn't push and has been so patient, when it's true and real it's worth it. I love the way you decorated your beautiful vase, it matches the pictures in the room. The rumbles you bravely faced were so worth it LOL. You are so thoughtful Susan and beyond passionate about life. Love you and Desi and now I love Mark for you!

      Thank you Patricia so much!! Thank you for understanding so much...I know I am just starting to date this very nice man...and how somebody makes us " feel" has got me thinking about so many people in my life...I have a girlfriend that I rarely see anymore and all this just swirls in my head...I think so many of us have a " Roger" story...and it breaks my heart. Your words are just going to dance in my head all day you wonderful woman!!! Happy weekend!!! Love to you and yours always, Susan & Desi

    Thank you thank you thank you! Just what I needed as so often I find when I watch your videos. No mater your topic or whether you take us shopping or stay home and talk skin care. It is so good to hear another "mature woman" who has made it through the tough places in life and has come back smiling and enjoying life. May your time with you friends and family be blessed and as special as you are. From a seventy year old grandmother of 7. Married to the same dear man for 51 years.
