SHIRLEY, what a yummy Isaac! And I love your hair! Nice picture!
MARIE, fantastic , sis! You are doing so great
SANDY, your envelope arrived today and the prints of the Alzheimer's Poem are just gorgeous! You are a doll to go to all that research and trouble for me, and I appreciate your work beyond your imagination! Thank you. luv!
I am falling on my nose. Up at 5:55AM. Showered and finished breakfast by 7:30 to be ready for a long Doctor day. 10:30 appointment almost missed for the injection for Mike's eye as I could not get him to stop dawdling! Home for a quick lunch, and a drive up to our favorite bagel shop where I had left an order for a couple of dozen mini bialys ... only they did not have them when I arrived. Eventually they settled on 2 dozen regular size at the same price as the minis. A Bialy is chewier than a bagel and is sprinkled with onion. They are delicious toasted and eaten with coffee and very few shops know how to make the Brooklyn version of this treat. We just made the dermatology appointment where the odor of our burned flesh showed we were getting rid of many years of sun damage! Stopped in for whipped cream cheese at Publix, where we bought lots of items and left the store without the cream cheese, and as we went back for it I suddenly remembered with horror we had an appointment at 3:30 for our flu shots up in that area (our old habitat) so I flew across town hoping there were no sheriff cars watching, and we just got in in the nick of time! Finally made it home with 10 minutes to get my eyebrows back on
and make it to the dining room for our reservation! No more appointment one on top of another! Now must wake DH to help me put on fresh sheets. My cleaning helper was due tomorrow morning, but a sign in the elevator says my building will not have water between 10 and 12 tomorrow, so I'll just finish the bed I stripped this morning and flop down!
BARBIE, yes, I would get a second opinion also! Good luck!
PATSY, you were practicing for Halloween?
LIN and ANNE and PHOEBE, big hugs to all, and JACKIE and all the rest. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Buzz, What a busy day you had. I got tired just hearing all about your BUZZING around. No wonder you said someone breath for you!!
Shirley, How old is Issac. I love the pic of both of you . thanks for sharing.
Marie, How do you know you are balancing the protein, carbs and everything? You are doing great. Stay in those 180 for a while and soon you will see the 170's
Phoebe, My husband goes to the market and buys the live chickens, they kill them right on the spot and clean them up. When he brings them home to me they are still warm. so I know they are fresh. I feel bad for the chickens at the moment but one they are frozen and then later thawed and cooked, I enjoy every bite.
Barbie, Glad to have you as a friend on FB. At first I was confused and didn't know who BARBARA was then I got a brain wave and remembered. LOL
Sandy, the stew sounds good. I need to get a bit more creative in the kitchen. Lin Always does such a good job too on preparing her veggies and making them sound so good.
Well I have been for an hour swim this morning, ate a bowl of frozen Pomegranates. I love throwing them in the freezer after I have taken them out of the peels or whatever they are called, and then once they are frozen I just eat them up by the spoonfuls. YUM.
Little Talia is doing great. Her mom however is so worried about every little peep or sound that she makes. She doesn't ever want her to cry. Last night she was sure there was something wrong with her. Took her temp and she was completely normal. I went over and held the baby for her and let her take a shower and get a little bit done. She just is always afraid that something will happen to her baby so she doesn't let her out of her sight. I guess that is normal for a new mother. I keep assuring her that the baby is NORMAL. Babies cry, sleep sometimes long periods and sometimes for shorter breaks.
Jackie, Jeri, Patsy, Lin, Anne, and everyone else. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNE!
Morning,
Up early again today we are having a road torn up and redone just a street over from us and it has been going on
all summer and they are still at it. Since our windows are open at night they start at 7am and we are not early
risers but now we are. So much for whining.
Today is lunch with my friend Donna across the border in Buffalo and meeting her for lunch at Panera Bread. I usually
order the avocado cobb salad with coffee. I only eat half of it since I am cutting my portions and see if this scale
will be kind to me.
I did lose .02 lbs. this week and this was after Thanksgiving weekend so not bad but
not where I want it.
Yesterday all the flower beds and vegetable garden have been cut back for the winter and cleaned up. I just
have to take down all my chimes on the back patio and clean up the ornaments and I am ready for Old Man Winter.
Dave is going to the boat to put up the frame so the tarps can go on and then haul out anytime.
That sure is a sign of the seasons.
Well still have to get breakfast so have a great day everyone!

The cpap man brought a brand new machine for Jim to use. If he doesn't use it, I will!! He is so stubborn. Why do men do that? it is for his health, it might save his life. arrrghhh
part of my back pain is gone, yay! its hurting on the other side though, ugg.. but it will be ok, just glad the other side has eased up.
I forgot who asked Marie about her plan. She is on the ONE, ONE ONE plan. One protein, one carb one fat.. so it makes meals filling and simpler. I got the book, but I never find time to read.
speaking of time, back to my sorting stuff.
Phoebe0 -
Phoebe yes I am on the one one one plan and also the zone diet. they are basically the same. I am trying to do some fine tuning on both of them. to suit me.

Happy birthday Anne. I went back and read some of your early post on the Golden years. I am so glad you came on over to the Sneakers group. this is the right group for you For you are loved by all. including me
Love Marie0 -
Oh sneakers, I am absolutely overwhelmed by the wonderful "cards" and well wishes. Thank you all so very much, you've made one old gal very, very happy. I had a super day with my old friend Flo. She doesn't like driving any more, but she risked the traffic to spend several hours with me, and it was great catching up on all the gossip and family news. I even got some groceries in. The cards made me so happy that I really must learn to do these lovely images on this new MFP format. Mike says he'll look into it next week.
I can't believe I am now an octogenarian along with our BUZZ and MARIE. Buzz, Anne, Marie, the BAM sisters!!! Ive just read that people by the end of the century will be retiring at the age of 100! I started work at the age of 14. It's hard to imagine retiring 86 years later! The work will be in the less strenuous category of greeters in places like Walmart, the theory being that one is less likely to be attacked at 100 years than at 50. Not so sure, especially if the store is selling repackaged decomposing chicken parts PHOEBE!! Tweety looks very healthy on your "card"!
Well, I'm expecting the local family to pop in after work, so I'll love you all and leave you.
Again, thank you!
Blessed and grateful, Anne.❤️

Thanks Marie and Lin that is the link I have but I get stuck after I put the link in. Don't know where to go after that.
Shirley0 -
<https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/login_counter_reset_request > is correct. Just DRAG your cursor across the link (between the < and the >) while holding the left button down and when the things all turns blue, right click it and click "copy" on the drop down menu and it turns it into a link when you open your browser and place your cursor in the address bar and then click Ctrl with the letter v (keyboard shortcut for PASTE.) Does anyone understand a word I just wrote? After copying it. click on ENTER!
ANNE dear!
DD says WIndows 10 is terrific, so I am converting many of my folders to emails I'm sending myself to open in my mail once I download it. I'm so bad at backing up and although Carbonite does it for me, I can never locate what I need! I must get some sleep now but needed to read everyone's posts. Perhaps over the weekend I can catch up!

Well here I am one day later, and waking up to the reality of making it to 80. Unbelievable, and to be honest, I don't feel 80! What does 80 feel like? What does 80 look like? I can remember the day after turning 70 and having the same thoughts. Will I be like this in maybe 10 years time, waking up bewildered and wondering where the time went? Time is man made after all. Born on a planet further from the sun, I guess I'd only be 40 but look the same and feel the same. Enough of the Einstein stuff, I sure ain't no Einstein, just back to dear old earth and GOOD MORNING SNEAKERS!
The nice young man opposite asked if he could have the last few apples at the top of the front garden tree. He is taller than son Mark, so clambering up his ladder we now have an almost empty tree. I remarked to Flo that old departed Joe who planted it 40 years ago would have been thrilled that his apples have fed such a lot of people, but my more realistic friend said "no he wouldn't, he'd have had a table out front and sold them". This is probably true so he is likely turning in his grave viewing the passing number of people who have reached out and chewed on an apple. Even a city worker climbed out of his truck the other day, grabbed an apple and drove off happily chomping on an Anne apple. I guess most people don't realize a pair of beady eyes can watch them from the owners small LR window! Probably think it's a bedroom window!
I now have no excuse for not learning graphics etc with BUZZ and MARIE as role models. I also have no excuse for the pesky 4 lbs that crept up on me over the summer. I'm convinced that these extra summer pounds are natures way of equipping us to face the coming winter! Hopefully we'll all be as skinny as rakes come spring.
Sorry to bore you with my musings,
Bye, your elderly friend Anne.

Morning,
Buzz - When I enter the link in the address box it pops up with a list of titles. That is where I don't know where to go after that.
We have Windows 10 on our laptop which my DH uses all the time. He seems to like it and I use my Samsung Tablet which
I just figured out how to copy and paste but still can't figure our grapics.
ANNE- Happy 80th again!
On to Yoga class, just finished a smoked salmon frittata that I made from the South Beach book. Cleaning day today.

Anne - 80 is the new 40. Enjoy! As for the apples, it probably makes the peoples' day a little brighter to get to eat a piece of fruit that they had the pleasure of picking fresh instead of one that's been in a store for weeks.
Marie - We are going to both be eating wise this weekend!
Wishing all the sneakers a wonderful weekend.
Marcella0 -
You are so right Marcella, and truthfully I'm glad people are enjoying the apples. I loved a cheerful plump middle aged Jamaican lady who passed by on her way to the corner church, "would you like some, I asked". She would, so off she went clutching a plastic bag full. She raised her eyes to the skies, spread out her arms and shouted "today is a good day, today the Lord gave me apples, hallelujah!!! You wouldn't believe the people I now know, all from a little old tree full of organic fruit!

Love that picture Anne the organic apple lady. Have been scooting around here all day doing bits of this and that once again. I got the Burke's Law DVDs in the mail and I've started binge watching!!
I am going to a card making class this evening at the library. She usually has 2 specific projects with all the bits and pieces needed to make the cards look like the examples but never any directions. I am always the least experienced person at these things as most of the group scrap book at the day long sessions the library conducts.
Shirley I know nothing about Windows 10 so I do not know what to suggest regarding resetting your days. I have resisted installing the update although I keep getting notices to do so.
I hope everyone has a good day and an excellent weekend.
Off to search for more outerwear for this evening. It is a bit nippy today and will be quite cold this evening.
Hugs.
Lin0 -
Realising I haven't checked in for nearly 3 days I'm posting to let you know all is well, I've been to a Goosey Fair but only caught sight of 2 geese, swimming, taken lots of rubbish to the tip, done some gardening, constructed a new metal wheelbarrow from the box of bits that arrived after an Amazon purchase, walked George, snoozed and read all your posts. Now it's late Friday evening, the fire is lit and I'm ready to nod off in front of the tv before bed. Will check in at the weekend when it should be quieter!!
