I live in Asheville, NC. We got slammed by Hurricane Helene. The World Central Kitchen was in town for weeks. You don't know how good a hot meal tastes when you don't have electricity or water. WCK gave out delicious hot meals for free. It helped us Asheville residents and all the helpers (linemen, church groups, etc.) get through a very tough time.

I quit watching the news
about 3 years ago and am very happy with that choice.

Hi Linda, yes we are having horribles fires and I’m so thankful we are safe.
Thank you for thinking of us in California.❤

[sarahmarti]

I’ve been displaced because of the LA fire. Many houses on my block burned down. I was lucky. Mine still stands. I’ll be displaced for eight weeks because they have to remediate the smoke, asbestos, arsenic, and lead from my home before I can move back in.Such a disaster. Sending good thoughts!

My son works for Termanex . He doesn't spray homes, he goes around and seals up all the holes around your home.
Call someone to see if you have cracks or holes in your foundation or siding.

Thank you Linda for doing this special request!❤. These mood lifting videos of yours are my favorite and have helped me through 4 winters now! Another winner!

[rhondaschenk]

Linda & Stewart! Such a fun video! I receive it on a Saturday night and it’s very snowy and cold here. Lovely to spend my time with you. Thank you!

[Linda-gipr]

Well, I am more than impressed with your honesty !!! I rhink everyone, including me. Have had an issue with mice at one time or another. But, not everyone would dare to talk about it. This says so much about you, your HONEST, and you keep it you. Thank you, thank you....social media needs more people like you. Love your content on Signature Style Saturday. Here is one thing I would like to see, as an active 68 year old woman, makeup tutorials, hair care, health tips. Thanks again !

Yes I've been on a news black out too. My Husband just highlights only in degrees what is happening around the world especially wars, i could, and did, cry all day for what was happening but that doesn't help them in any way me sat in my home crying, just making me sad almost ill. Of course I'm not ignoring life but self preservation is key at my time of life. Anyway on a more positive note thank you for sharing your January tips. I love a silk skirt with a chunky jumper and leather belt with boots ✅ .hugs to everyone. From Rosie O England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🎉😊 x

I'm 72 and very active but January does have its way of keeping us in! I wanted something new and different so I took a free on line college course. It could be done at my pace when I wanted to. Six lessons with a quiz after each and a test at the end. I did really well and was a little bit sad when I finished! As a retired teacher I still tutor and will for sure be looking for more free courses! Never too old to learn😂❤. Great video!!

My cousin’s friend is a teacher at Palisades High
My Dear Students- It’s all too much. It’s all too vast, too cruel. The images flicker on our screens, and though we see them—charred ruins, smoldering skeletons of what was—we can’t comprehend them. Our minds refuse to stretch that wide. We search for words, but none fit, none hold the weight. All we can seem to say is “Gone.” Childhood homes…gone. Family houses…gone. The sprawling mansions and quaint bungalows, the mid-century moderns, the Spanish revivals, the Craftsman dreams…gone, gone, gone.

But it’s not just the homes, though their absence cuts the deepest. It’s everything else, too—the schools where we learned and laughed, the stores where we lingered, the churches where we prayed. The market where we ran into neighbors. The library. Oh, the library. And the parks, the ballfields, the trees—so many trees, their branches once whispering secrets into the Pacific breeze. All of it burned, blackened, buckled. Even the sidewalks—those steady, quiet witnesses to a thousand strolls—are broken.

We’re trying to wrap our hearts around the absolute Gone-ness of it all, but we can’t. We can’t fathom it, can’t contain it. And so our hearts keep shattering, over and over again. Even if, like me, you didn’t lose a house today, you’ve still lost. We all have. Because we love people who are homeless tonight—people whose laughter once rang through these streets, whose memories are woven into this town. And we’re powerless to fix it. We want to pull them out of this nightmare, to comfort them, to rewrite this tragedy. But we can’t. So we sit with them, hold them, or simply cry alongside them, trying desperately to find the right way to love them through this devastation.

Yes, families and pets were saved, and that’s everything. But it doesn’t erase the ghosts. The objects left behind—letters that once whispered love, paintings alive with color, books that held entire worlds, necklaces that glimmered against skin—all of them now lost, transformed into fleeting phantoms that will haunt their owners’ memories. These things were more than things; they were magic, fragments of the soul made tangible. And now, much of that magic is gone.

The truth, as I see it, is that this Palisades life of ours has ended. The destruction is too vast, the losses too profound. Yes, one day there will be shops again, and houses, and even a library. But it won’t be the same. It can’t be. The soul of this town—the breezes that carried eucalyptus whispers, the feeling of safety, the deep-rooted love—is altered forever.

This place we knew and cherished is now a griefscape. And we are mourning—not just the buildings, but the stories they held, the joy and love and everyday miracles that happened within their walls. We’re mourning for the lives built here, for the people who loved so fiercely, and for the version of ourselves that lived in this haven.

I’m so, so sorry. So deeply heartbroken for everyone who has lost so much—for those whose homes are now ashes and for the rest of us, standing amidst the ruin, clutching our grief and our memories of this beautiful, irreplaceable place. Our lovely town is gone, and with it, a part of our hearts.

I have a tip for you Linda! My dear son knows I get cold hands and bought me a Beskar rechargable hand warmer. Such a thoughtful gift, and works so well!

[juliabinford]

I limit my news intake, too. I enjoy your clothing segment and it will be fun to see what Meg comes up with.

[idaoliver]

Thank you for addressing real everyday problems it make you seem more relatable

[deborahbavas]

I liked the pic of the pleated skirt with the blue jean shirt! I would not have thought of that! Very cool!

[jenwood]

I always cancel right after I subscribe, you still have access to for the trial period but then you don’t need to remember to cancel !

Thanks so much for the Technology Tuesday! Love the Spotify tutorial Stew!

I've got you on mouse/rodent control: peppermint oil. It is a life saver! Soak cotton balls with peppermint essential oil (not the food grade kind) and place them in locations where you have seen or heard them. Mice are actually very fastidious and it burns their eyes and noses so they will leave immediately. It's also very effective to put the peppermint essential oil in a diffuser - your house will smell like Christmas while the little critters make their departure. Works brilliantly, no kill, no mess, very little cost. The tricky part is finding where they are getting in and sealing those entrances. Good luck!

[bhazleton]

A news fast kept me sane in c.ovid and will keep me sane in the next plandemic. I must confess though, that I'm mesmerized by the fires in L.A. but I need to stop that also so I can use my time more productively and have a more positive aura. I do want to also add that watching your videos (Linda and Stewart) is very therapeutic. Thank you.

[cassandrafarris]

Really enjoyed your video. Not spending either, except I am purchasing organizational things for my January clean out. Thank you for the idea of repurposing clothing. I have cleaned out my closet in preparation for retirement and have so much to donate. Terrific way to help! So very happy that I am not the only one avoiding the news and feeling much relief. Great segment tonight!
