Buzz, so you are our guinea pig for Windows 10! I was considering it, because of good reviews, but I'll struggle along in the crazy 8's. Hope your sister wasn't injured. Also hope she will listen to your advice.
Phyllis, I'm sorry about your friends, I know you are remembering your days together. Hug your friends and family.
Lin, is the Cinderella movie the cartoon where she is in a blue dress? Or is there another version? Tonight on Hallmark is a Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone movie, a new one. 9pm edt. I'm recording it. Ditto on the food and card making, that's silly. Should be a no food or drinks allowed, especially since you are sharing table space. No one spills on purpose, accidents will happen. I'd mention to the organizers, if there are more planned. You've been watching Burke's law, I'm watching some Midsomer Murders.
Patsy, Jim loves the steamed veggies and shrimp from our favorite Chinese restaurant. They are listed under special diet. Quite by accident we discovered they serve two different sauces if you like to add it to the veggies. One is Brown, much like soy sauce but thicker, the other is slightly white, almost clear. It has a much milder flavor. I think they just called it white sauce. It may be the solution for John's tricky relux. I too suffer from severe reflux, and have reduced many foods that bother me.
I've slept through the day, but don't regret it. I must have needed it. Tomorrow will be busy, and like Shirley, Tuesday has me scheduled for a few appts. Then we are supposed to return to work. (Sigh)
Jackie, I'll be thinking of you. Feel free to complain if you want.
Honey knows our usual route now. She thinks she doesn't need me to go with her! She goes down the steps so quickly, I'm not sure about gripping the leash, as she might pull me down. So I tried releasing it. Away she goes! I'm calling her, but she looks back at me and keeps walking. She is oblivious to cars, so I must control her. She did stop before the road, this time!
Have a great evening
Phoebe

Phoebe, the Cinderella movie with actors, not cartoon. I believe the lead is an actress from Downton Abbey whose name escapes me. She played the part of the kind of wild child who got somewhat involved with the jazz musician. Also I think one of the stepsisters is also from Downton too. The cook's assistant? But I am less sure of that. I don't get the Hallmark channel so I will miss that movie. Hope it comes out on DVD. What's the title??? Honey is getting too adventuresome!! Sorry you have to go back to work.0

Morning,
Yoga this morning and the heading to my daughter's to babysit Isaac.
Have a great day friends!

Good morning - it is going to be hot and windy today. Burn bans pretty much all over the state. I have lots of errands to run today. See you later.
Lin0 -
Sandy loves your Luau blouse. and you look very cute in it.
Phoebe hate to hear you are going back to work
ll for now got an doctor appt. this morning
Love Marie.0 -
My goodness, one day being away and all the lovely posts to read! What interesting lives you all lead and you all sure enhance my day which is usually pretty ordinary. Well today isn't so ordinary, it's Election Day in Canada, but who to vote for? They all seem the same to my jaded eye.
Now PHYLLIS you do realize don't you that to be a genuine bonafide witch one has to be born in October? I will now keep quiet on that subject! Very sorry about your friends though, I know what that's all about, it leaves one reeling.
Wonderful news about Bonnie PHOEBE, she's a happy healthy normal dog now just like all the other dogs here on the Sneakers. What a carry on you had picking up the boys, never a dull moment, but it gave us all something to smile about.
BUZZ, my pal Flo installed Windows 10 and gave up on her computer from that moment on. Mind you neither she or I are exactly computer savvy.
Thinking of JACKIE today and hope all goes well for her.
LIN, lovely long post from you. Lovely posts from EVERYBODY!
Anne.

Heavens! I really am losing it! Why did I call HONEY, Bonnie! Apologies PHOEBE! Anne0

Happy Monday!
Robby will be up from his nap any second, but wanted to check in. It is supposed to be 70 here this afternoon, so I see a walk in our future. Babe is AGAIN fighting with his son, so what else is new? We had some great Henri garden planters at the house and now Babe wants to get rid of them. He was going to throw them out but I told him I would try to sell them on Craigs list and keep the money for myself. He agreed, so now I have to go take some pictures and get them posted. There are also some smaller statues that I might take and store in my garage until Rob and Lisa buy a house.
I don't have time for personals right now, but read all the posts and love you all!
Sandy
One Day at a Time0 -
hi all you good people
went to the doctor and my kidney count is too high. my doctor wants me to drink more water and change one of my medication stay off of beef so making me a rice chicken casserole for lunch-M0 -
Yes, Marie, I'm glad you are keeping a close watch on your numbers. I don't remember if you like fish?
Anne, I knew who Bonnie was, lol. Bonnie is a good name too.
Lin, I think the name is Jesse Stone - Lost in Paradise.
Staying home today, its only 60 F! Lots of little things that need doing, sorting, tossing, and filing. While I keep my feet under the covers.
Tomorrow is 3 Dr appts. First one is Jim's, but I go too so he can let me remember what was said. So I'll get my errands done after the appts. Long day.
Back to sorting, etc.
Phoebe0 -
Phoebe, I am not too big a fan of fish I love it fried tho. I do like shrimp.
But not baked.-M0 -
I have not have a good day. Had a low blood sugar, and oould not get full. Wanted everything in the house. So a other set back. Did not feel like oooking so it turn out a snack day. Did not get my Spanish rice cook.=M0
-
It happens to us all, Marie. Every day is a new start. Hugs0
-
Sorry you've had a bad day Marie. I sure hope tomorrow is better.
I started my errands this morning after a load of laundry and just got to the second one when I got light-headed in the store and there was a roaring in my ears and I couldn't really hear the conversation around me---I thought I was going to faint right there on the spot. I held onto a shelf for a little while, then finished my shopping and made my way home. Made some lunch and then got back to the errands. Walmart trip. Dropped off my packages then on to the credit union. Then a trip to Costco and home again. Got the trash and recycled paper ready to put out. Had my leftovers for supper. Tomorrow I need to hit Trader Joe's and then a haircut and lots of catch up cooking as I have little prepared in the refrigerator now. Wednesday I am going with another friend to take food etc. over to the poor guy who's not able to get out of his apartment.
So there's my report for the day. Oh and I got numbers out together and mailed to the attorney for preparation of some needed return for my dad's probate.
Thanks Phoebe, I will be looking for that Jesse Stone movie on DVD. I hope they put it out soon.
Good night.
Lin0 -
Lin, what do you think caused it? Had you eaten? So glad you made it home. My goodness, you went out again! Lol, I'd have needed to be on the couch.

No idea Phoebe. Low blood pressure I think. Just hopes it doesn't happen again!!

wanted to send a updated pic of my little TALIA and me that I took last night when visiting her. Sure do enjoy having the grand daughter close by. Phyllis

She's adorable, Phyllis! I think she's ready to talk!0

Darling baby, PHYLLIS! LIN, is there something you can carry with you for light-headed moments? How is your blood sugar? It almost sounds like hypoglycemia. Take care, luv! JACKIE, is today the day? Wishing you tons of luck and love! SANDY, yeah, Babe, so what else is new? PHOEBE, the more used to 10 I am, the more I like it. Is it intuitive? Well, I printed a list of keyboard commands, which are missing from Edge, as there is no menu bar that I can find. And it doesn't encourage adding toolbars, thus they don't support programs like LastPass so it makes signing in passwords a pain in the neck. However, like Mozilla Firefox and maybe Chrome, there is a dropdown menu on the right that allows us to use Internet Explorer instead of Edge, so that's how I get back to MFP! Without Tools and Internet Options, 10 will not automatically open here! I guess we had to adjust to all the other programs as they opened, and thinking back, I realized I must be using computers for over 20 years, as I started with my DD's discarded Compaq laptop before moving to Florida, several years before the millennium!..
MARIE, take good care of those kidneys and keep them flushed! Mike attended a class about kidneys and dialysis and it made him behave for about 2 days! ANNE, are you hiding something about witches? My eldest was born in October and I never thought twice about it! I didn't see PATSY here today, but my eyes are crossed by this hour! Mike's first wife's half-brother visited us today and we had lunch at a kosher dairy restaurant since he wanted blintzes. When we got the menus, which were beautiful, with pictures of everything, I was hysterical because the entire menu was Italian food, Pizza, Pasta, Focaccia, ...no blintzes! It was a pleasant visit, but it ate up many hours during which there were meetings we should have attended. Tonight, dinner hour was preceded by and Oktoberfest happy hour, accordion player, tuba accompaniment and all! The entire lobby area was transformed into an autumn festival with pumpkins and leaves of every color, and German type appetizers being served, even alcohol-free beer. But then, there's very little beer I enjoy! The sauerbraten on pretzels were surprisingly tasty!
So now I will fall into bed and blow up from all the sodium, but tomorrow night is Passport Dinner Night and we "visit" Germany where the kitchen is attempting Weinerschnitzel. Having had it in St. Paul's square in Vienna, plus fabulous ones in Germany whenever we visited my son, I am a bit skeptical as it takes a really deft hand to keep it light, but Passport Dinners are always fun, no matter what. Hugs everybody
Buzz
JACKIE DEAR,
0 -
Phyllis - What a beautiful baby!
Lin - May the rest of your day go well. Sounds like the lunch was much needed.
Buzz - Hearing about the Passport Dinners has inspired me. I think my family would get a real kick out of doing something like that. I'll post an update if I do anything interesting with this.
Well, I'm working toward a clean house by day's end. That qualifies as my exercise for Tuesday.
Have a wonderful day Sneakers,
Marcella0 -
Just a quick question. SANDY, I'm not objecting at all lol, but just wonder why your photo has replaced mine on my home page. Is it changed on your home page too? Done a swap as it were. Interesting. Anne0

Happy Tuesday! Just wanted to answer Anne. No, my picture is on my profile and yours is on yours.
Robby up from his morning nap, so will check in later.

This is so weird. Everyone's picture no longer matches their user name on my home page!0

I've also become Patsy, and you've become quilter bunny.0

Hello everyone! We are involved in a great American tradition at our house. We are in the process of getting a new car. The SUV I drive is getting increasingly difficult to get into...I am short. To pull myself up into this vichicle is very annoying and reeeeealy undignified. That said, the difference that a woman demands in a car is quite different than a mans. Even if this is officially my car, it must not be too female looking for John to drive Occasionally. (?) female? I just want a car that I can get into, that is reliable, not too big, easy to park, doesn't take too much gas and is a nice happy color. These things are on John's list but certainly not at the top. The car salesmen just don't even make eye contact with me. I don't really care but it does seem like an age old scenario, men buying a car...a lot of comedy routines have been done on this and they are based on truth. I did promise to NOT paint flowers in it or glue eyelashes on the headlights.
Patsy0 -
Good morning, grocery trip finished, haircut accomplished, clean laundry put away, sweet potatoes baking and it will soon be time to cut up veggies for roasting and will steam some green beans. That will be a start!!
Phyllis, ADORE that picture. You are both so beautiful.
Anne, everyone has their proper pictures for me. I do think you have a gremlin again.
Marcella, I would count it as exercise too---it's a lot of work to clean a house!
Buzz, enjoy the Passport dinner this evening but I believe you are on the mark, it will not compare to what you've had in the past.
Thanks for all the concern my friends. I never have any issue with my blood sugar, that wasn't it. I do sometimes have low blood pressure though although I have no idea why. I am sure it is NOT a sign of good health however. Sigh. I do my best!!
Onward and I do have everything put together to visit that gentleman tomorrow. I have another lady coming with me (one of his relatives) so no one will think I have any bad motivations. I know, I shouldn't think that way but it seemed better all the way around.
Take care, keep the gremlins at bay. Hugs.

A quick check in before taking George for his evening walk. 2nd day of treatment and already I'm getting into the swing of things, how to check in at reception with a scanner, find the dressing rooms, then the waiting area and lastly get into exactly the right position under the machines for zapping. Even with taking images which they do the first couple of days it takes less than 10 minutes, then back out to the car and home! Early days for any reactions but I've been given a cream to apply daily and advised to buy scent and soap free shower gel which I did today so now just have to grit my teeth for the daily drive into city of Plymouth. My blood sugars did crash after walking George yesterday evening so because I've just finished running the mower over the lawns and doing a bit of tidying in the garden I will drink lots of water before we go out. The first rain in weeks forecast for tomorrow which will be just what my garden ordered so long as it doesn't carry on until Christmas!
Phoebe ~ You and Jim should get yourselves a part in the movie Meet the Fockers although you couldn't make up your story of collecting him the other evening! When I walk George near the roads I use an extending lead that runs out about 30 meters so I can at least reel him in if he closes his ears and hums loudly in order to ignore instructions!
Patsy ~ Being tall I had the opposite problem when I sold on my Maverick because my bottom just sat nicely on the seat when I stood in the doorway of the vehicle and I'd then slide across. Now in my Citreon I'm grunting and oh-ahh'ing each time I get in or out because it's quite low even with a specially designed seat cushion to raise it up. Cars are certainly boys toys so I think you're right to let the salesman and John have their discussions then make sure you insist on getting exactly what you want!!
Anne ~ So you have another Trudeau running Canada!! Not sure if that makes me feel nostalgic or just plain old.... probably both! You might remember when his dad ran for office in the 70's he had an election poster with a tiny kitten hanging onto a pole with the slogan "Hang in there". Well I kept one and it came home to the UK with me and only recently got put on a bonfire when clearing out the garage where it had hung for 25 years. Silly really as it was probably worth something as an antique!! Goodness only knows what's happening to your computer. I did wonder if you were accidentally moving one page over another with a light touch but even that wouldn't give the effect you describe.
Buzz ~ Thanks for the lovely graphic and thinking of me. You know me, I'm fine and keeping bright and breezy about the situation, also extremely grateful for modern medicine! It sounds like one long party at your place and I wish I lived closer as I love Octoberfest with all that ompah-pah, sausage and beer.... enjoy!
Lin ~ When I was young my blood pressure was always too low and your description fits the feeling I'd experience before fainting so do check things out if it happens again.
Daylight is beginning to fade so I'd better get George out for his last stroll.

First of all, lovely to read your news JACKIE, you really are one remarkable positive lady. I haven't got a clue what's happening on my home page, it's completely weird. I finished and logged out for the day to see if that might revert everything back to normal, but no, JACEAN came up with LINS photo. The next time I looked it had changed again and I was DD. I am assuming different personalities each time I check in! So far I've also become PATSY and quilter bunny. I honestly don't think I've done anything to cause this and it's rather disconcerting to see ones name but not ones face! A bit like a science fiction film of extreme plastic surgery to hide ones identity! Sometimes I feel like chucking this pad into the trash and just fading away into the sunset. So far however I appear to have the real me on this site!
Yes, we have a brand new, young, prime minister. Great excitement last night as the country started to turn red on the graphics. I'm not sure how it will all develop, all the promises and what have you's. We will have to wait and see. As usual, being a Libra, I sit on the fence. It was at times rather a dirty campaign, mostly on the conservatives side, and I think that cost the "blues" dearly. Lots of snide remarks about Justin not being ready, and comments about his hair of all things, which I admit "nice hair though" IS correct!
Beautiful little grand daughter PHYLLIS! ALL of them are beautiful little girls.
Well, I'm going to nip back to home page and see who I'm now looking like!
Anne.

Hello Sneakers,
Phyllis - Your grand-daughter is adorable. They grow so fast. Isaac is 6 months already.
I am back from babysitting Isaac and he was cute as usual. I took more pictures but they are so big on here when I post
them and don't know how to make them smaller.
I have a doctor apt. today and tonight choir practice. Have not been able to get this weight off from my last apt. so not
happy right now . Still working on it.
Very tired today so I will comment later.
Shirley
