Back later, but ask your dr about Hepatitus A vaccine as it appears every state but Florida is recommending protection now! Buzz0

Hello, busy day. How can a day at home just fill up so? Laundry, online accounts checked, correspondence with Amazon about ANOTHER lost order. Keeping in touch with friends via email and Facebook. Working on cards again. Finished reading a book, which I sort of enjoyed. Made some air fried tofu this evening. Packed up for church tomorrow.
We have had drizzle all day. If the temperature stays up, we won’t have ice overnight. I would like that.
My health annoyance is a habitual problem which sometimes is a bit better. Sinuses, just plain bad sinuses. That is all. Some nights I wake up and they are plugged up so I don’t breathe that well and I have trouble sleeping. Or the stupid things are raw and they bleed. TMI right? But I don’t have a virus or a cold or anything. No worries.
Well I have nothing to say about children so I will close for now. I need to suit up and trek to the mailbox. Alexa tells me a package was delivered. Haaaa. I would like to send her out to pick it up.
And thanks Sandy, I will watch the Midwives special.
Everyone stay safe and please take care and feel better.
Hugs.

Spent all night figuring out the Oxygen concentrator, Bluetooth, Apps for everything and have to do same for Medicare! Papers piling up again! UGH! Must make up sleep, too!
Saw "Judy" this afternoon and really missed having her own voice do the songs. What a tragic life!

Confession time... my scales told me this morning I’ve gained 5 lbs over the Christmas period so that on top of what I’d already gained since summer means I’m now 10 lbs above where I want to be. 😩 Whose fault? Entirely mine so let battle commence!
Buzz, isn’t Hepatitis A a disease of mostly third world countries where good hygiene isn’t always top of the agenda? Be sure your drugs companies aren’t selling you packets of fear!!
On that note I’m off for a brisk walk!!
Jackie0 -
Morning, gloomy morning. My iPad is acting up again and no Michael to hopefully fix it.
JACKIE is it possible that hip replacements are heavier than before replacement and you haven't really gained at all? Just a heavier hip. I don't really know what I'm talking about, but when my Mom had hers done the surgeon showed me the metal replacement and it looked heavy to me, but that was 30 odd years ago and things could have changed.
Back later after I've fiddled around with this infernal machine.
Anne.

Happy Sunday! It's a rainy type day but the temps are supposed to get to 60 before we hit 30 tomorrow. If it stops raining and gets dry I might take down my balcony decorations while it is warm. Other than a video call with my kids nothing planned. Tomorrow lunch with my friends for the New Year. Will be staying in for NYE except for Mass with Joe, at least so far.
Anne, did you restart you IPad or at least shut it off and turn it back on? My guess is that Jackie's hip is made of titanium or plastic. They have come a long way in 30 years. Even my knees which are only about 7 years old have been improved with new material.
Jackie, if we are confessing then as of today I am 6 pounds from my goal and will also be battling. Will start again after the New Year watching and riding my bike. I prefer Anne's idea to eat what I want but that doesn't work for me as it did her. I think I gain weight just looking at food.
Buzz, maybe when your son moves here he can help with all the paperwork and other things that take up so much of your time. Hang in there. I can hardly stand the flu shot let alone another vaccine.
Lin, my biggest health issue is this nagging cough which is getting better but I did read it could take up to six weeks to get rid of it. Sorry you have sinus problems, could they be fixed with a little surgery?
Patsy, I hope you are feeling better today. What good did those flu shots do us if we still get sick?
Have a great day.
Sandy
One Day at a Time

Yes SANDY thats the first thing I do, turn the darn thing off and restart. My iPad is very old and very heavy. Time for a newer model when Mikes about again I think.
Mary Jo has a theory why I remain the same weight despite eating what I want now. She thinks when I counted calories and ate little more than 1200 every day my brain thought the body was in starvation mode and struggled to keep me a level weight, neither up nor down. but now I have no idea how many calories I'm consuming it thinks all is well and keeps me on an even keel. Does this make sense? I think more likely because I'm no longer obsessed with calories I'm maybe eating a little less. Whatever, mostly I feel fine which is a miracle I guess being at an age I never expected to reach!
I'm going back to vegan now that the hols are over. I've got myself a recipe book named
"Everyday Vegetarian" (a delicious guide for creating more than 150 meatless dishes)
and the few things I've tried so far really ARE delicious. However, if any other plant nibblers out there have a recipe they'd like to share, I'm your gal.
I watched an American programme today. An interview with an Afro American vegan lady who's written a vegan cook book aimed at her race. She mentioned that most unhealthy food chain ads in the States are now aimed at Afro Americans rather than the white population who are slowly turning away from hamburgers and giant steaks. She was in her fifties and has practised vegetarian for thirty years. Looking younger than her age she is a good advert for the lifestyle!
Well it's raining here, and it's gloomy here and you can imagine nothing much is going on here! Mike arrived home from the clinic with drugs and a puffer. As you say Sandy it does make one wonder about the flu shots. The only protection is to become a hermit which is rather difficult in this day and age.
I just hope EVERYBODY is on the mend.
Hugs, Anne.

That walk this morning was a chilly one but I recently purchased one of those neck warmers that is fleece lined and so cosy when a cold wind is blowing. As we almost reached my parked car on the way back I stopped to talk to a lady with 2 dogs.... well what really happened was her little chihuahua cross Shitzu had a lot to say to Betty and that made us laugh. Her other dog, a lurcher, was long legged and shaggy so George kept his distance! We were all frozen by the time we moved on. I’m aware a cold wind does make my latest hip ache which is understandable but so long as I’m aware that’s what’s going on it’s no problem.
Anne, Sandy is right about the titanium metal but the cup is plastic that’s cemented in. Less risk of wear and tear apparently and they only weigh about 14 ounces so I’m afraid the extra pounds are definitely due to eating and drinking too many tasty treats!
Sandy, yes, next Wednesday will be the day to start back on the straight and narrow so I need to eat up all the naughty goodies in my fridge and cupboards, starting this evening with pigs in blankets (sorry Anne the vegetarian!)
I’ve enjoyed a lazy afternoon in front of the tv but am sure tomorrow I’ll be ready to crack on with lots of chores.
Happy Sunday everyone. A new BBC drama tonight about a political scandal back in the 60’s that Anne will remember, all about Christine Keeler and her associations with a British government minister and a Russian diplomat... very exciting at the time! JACKIE0 -
Christine Keeler, oh yes much cause for merriment that two young women could cause such mayhem. I think the other girl was a Mandy Rice? Kept us all entertained for weeks, nothing changes does it. Mark was born that year I believe. 1961. The MP, Profuma, was married to a top British actress. I believe Christine died quite recently?
Pigs in blankets - sausage rolls! I LOVE sausage rolls. Oh dear! I'm THINKING vegetarian! Forgot about pigs in blankets. Actually I'm not a fussy eater when it comes to taste buds.
Just had a text from the Ms, they are changing the polo neck for the big over shirt. Pink plaid or red plaid. I've chosen the red.

Sunday morning coming down! A wonderful Kris Kristofferson blusey kind of song...🎶🎶🎶. We have a chilly showery kind of day. However we have a few more minutes of daylight. We are edging toward spring. Slowly but surely.
I have congestion and a persistent intermittent cough. No fever but a slight headache. Just uncomfortable enough to make me sort of cranky. Takes effort not to snarl at Katie and John. But hot herb tea and a good sweet orange to start the day. Along with Vivaldi to perk things up. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 I agree with Sandy about the flu shots but all the docs are pushing them. If they really worked I would be first in line. I had mine and of course John as well. We both have a cough and feel like we have “something.” Did they help? Did they prevent the really bad flu? Is it all just medical flimflam? Hummmmmmm?
iPads don’t last forever but neither do computers. I have a Mac desktop that I love. If she croaks I would be in trouble. Our son, Damon, says I better get an external something to back up what I want to save. Right now I feel like I just need another nap.
I have not had the personal strength to step on the scale since before Christmas. Hey! I am feeling bad enough as it is! I can’t torture myself more right now.

I am the owner of a lovely red and black plaid fleecy overshirt. There IS a Santa Claus! Yeah.
Anne the happy camper.1 -
Good afternoon. It was church day and although another family was signed up to help/do communion in December, they never got round to it once. I thought maybe today would be the day but it turns out they are out of town visiting relatives and celebrating yet another Christmas.
I got home, delivered a misdirected letter to my neighbor, got back in the car and dropped off a bunch of books at the library after hours box.
The temperature has been dropping all day and the wind is blowing at a fast clip. We are now around freezing with perhaps some snow overnight. Fingers crossed that we miss it!
There’s a rerun of the Call the Midwife special starting a bit later. I plan to watch it this time.
I spent a good portion of the afternoon hunting for some specific paper for a project I planned to do. However, I should not have used the tiny pieces of paper I had in my supply. I got them at a wonderful price but the little sample piece turned out to be something I would like to replicate. But after chasing literally around the globe checking every link, I admit defeat. The product was discontinued and no one has any in stock in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Sweden, etc. (interesting web sites:though). So I switched gears trying to find something similar in weight, texture, and colors. Oh my, I found something that I think might work but oh gosh, needed colors are sold out in stores and online. Well, I will continue to hunt and if nothing works, I guess the project will slam to a halt.
Might just put it aside and plot a Valentine’s card more seriously.
Hugs. Be well.
Lin ❤️

Not a great day, as I am now the perfect weather forecaster according to my arthritic factor! Today was a doozy! So just checking in before my late bedtime to let you know I'm still around! Even the laptop is complaining by losing my posts!
Buzz1 -
Dreadful day with heavy rain but not as bad as further north which is an ice storm. My grandson had travelled to join his girl at her parents and was supposed to fly home tonight but the airline advised them to fly home late yesterday because of delays and power outages.
The rain started yesterday and Mark and Mary Jo dripped all over the place when they dropped by with my exchanged Christmas gift. All these years I've worn mainly white shirts (to go with office jackets) and folks mistaking me for a retired teacher or librarian. I feel it's time to drop the pristine image and break out! Be the true me instead of conforming for a salary, and I just love the new look.
I hope everyone's weather is better than here! Rain tomorrow again and then snow predicted.
A day for drawing, or doing a jigsaw,
Anne.
PS: Maybe we did have some ice after all. Sounds of chipping next door and I don't think it's squirrels.
0 -
No ice here Anne, no rain either which is a miracle after weeks of the wet stuff. The dogs and I walked up to the top of the moors until I realised our view was rapidly disappearing as fog descended so a quick u-turn and back to the car. Everyone I stopped to talk to seemed to be coughing and spluttering so I did my best to keep a distance!!
Last night I finished the box of Belgian chocolates that had been sitting teasing me and although eat far too many at least they are gone so I can begin to work towards healthy eating again. The Christine Keeler drama was interesting but I was left after the first episode thinking anyone not knowing at least some of the story would be confused as it jumped back and forth in time. Anne, here's a review in case you might one day notice it on one of your channels. Definitely worth a watch.
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/dec/29/the-trial-of-christine-keeler-review-another-very-english-scandal
It's a friend's birthday next week and I had ordererd a scarf with pom poms for her on Amazon before noticing delivery isn't anticipated until the end of January. Of course that means it's coming from China so I'd question its quality, never mind it will arrive far too late so back to Amazon last night where I came upon a book entitled Enslaved by Ducks that looks like a fun read about a man's life becoming overrun by family pets. It should arrive in time for her birthday so although I hate to say good old Amazon, it's true!
I was about to rub a special slate oil into my new hearth when I noticed a pooch (or two) had left paw marks across it so I've wiped them off and must wait for it to dry. Plums have been stewed and my kitchen tidied. Vacuuming comes next then, if there's time, I'll do a couple of garden tidying jobs before it gets dark. Like Patsy, I noticed an extra few minutes of daylight yesterday so here we go girls, in the right direction!
There was a huge white blob over our weatherman's shoulder yesterday that looked to be very close to the lakes between Anne, Sandy and Lin so take care!
Jackie0 -
Thanks for the link JACKIE. I do have some sympathy for the poor 19 year old girl she was. Rotten childhood and totally exploited by rotten men. I read she died in 2017 and never lived free of the dubious fame her entire life. Beautiful girl to look at, she would have had more sympathy today.
Anne.
Just noticed on BBC, UK. "Working on a cliff edge, I have no choice." Atwick, my great grandad was post master there, and my grans two sisters went through the ice on a pond with disastrous results as young girls. Ancient history but I never thought I'd see wee Atwick mentioned in the news!0 -
Happy Monday! Meeting my friends for our New Year lunch which I am sure will be followed by some gambling. Wish me luck.
Babe is still worried about Daisy so his son is taking her to a specialist internist this afternoon.
The normal vet can find nothing wrong with her and I think Babe is just being over cautious.
She is eating but not as much as usual and she sleeps a lot. She is ten years old and everyone slows down as we age, well maybe not us sneakers. lol I told him to call me on my cell phone once his son returns. He is not going with because of the dizziness.
Speaking of son, he got fired from another job. I really am wondering if he really had any jobs or just tells Babe he does. (Sorry to be so cynical)
I watched the Irishman yesterday, it was a 3 1/2 hour movie, much too long, about Frank Sheeran a hit man who ended up working for Jimmy Hoffa if any of you know who he was.
He was a union boss who ended up missing and they never found his body.
Then I watched another Netflix movie 6 Underground which was good and full of action.
Ended up watching one episode of a true story called Don't *kitten* with Cats which started out so gruesome that I almost didn't watch. For us animal lovers it was a hard thing to watch and I wasn't warned. I hear the rest of it is disturbing as he turns out to be a serial killer.
And that is how I spent my Sunday and as someone on Facebook said to me, Sandy we have to get you out of the house. lol

Good day. There was some snow overnight and the roads are a bit slick I understand. I am staying indoors today but plan on Mah Jongg tomorrow. All of our members want to get together if it is not too slick on the roads. I have my fingers crossed. It is in the 20’s today with wind over 20 mph so it is very BRISK! More like winter.
I am working on a birthday card today. It is needed later in January but would like t finish it today. Must go back and check my calendar to see if any others are needed. Then, on to Valentine’s Day.
Buzz, sorry you did not have a good day yesterday. I hope today is better. Hugs.
Anne, argh, a dreadful day? Sorry to hear that. We had quite a bit of rain on Saturday, when I picked up my mail that evening, the ink was pretty much washed away from several envelopes. One was actually for a neighbor. I took it over yesterday afternoon. Glad you are becoming colorful. ❤️
Jackie, isn’t that annoying? You order something on Amazon but then find out the delivery date is a month or two away? Too many third party vendors now. They say free shipping with Prime. However, it may be free but it is NOT Prime shipping with extended delivery dates. I have several things that were never shipped and the orders are later cancelled. I really did not want to stay that alert to these things. I just want to order. Good shift on your part to find something else.
Sandy, happy celebrating and best wishes for winning at the gambling. Sorry Daisy is not feeling well but maybe her appetite is just smaller now that she sleeps more? Wait, that does not work for me. I did watch the “Call the Midwife” program last evening. It is always produces some tears. Oh my. Glad I didn’t miss it. So thanks for the heads up. And by the way, no there is nothing to be done for my sinuses. I went to an ENT for years for nasal cautery every few months. Finally quit as it wasn’t helping.
Patsy, hello. I hope everyone is well in your home. Church yesterday was a chorus of sneezing, coughing and scratchy voices. I have my fingers crossed that no germs hopped onto me. My friend works in a Christian day care and she is in the baby room. She said almost every little one is ill. Several are in the hospital with severe respiratory symptoms. Is it RSV or something. Anyway, she is quite worried.
Must run along. Hello Diane, Shirley, Karen, Marie, Barbie, Laura and all other dear Sneakers.
Hugs.
Lin0 -
Wow! Almost New Year’s Eve. I know we will be snuggled in at home but I still want to do something fun to celebrate the new year and a new decade. Music, movie, nice meal and champagne will most probably describe the event here. Not too bad really! I will get a big smooch at midnight and we begin the new decade with high hopes. There was a time, not too long ago, we would be partying until the wee hours and then breakfast out before heading home. I fear those high kicking nights are gone forever. I miss them but not the ugly draggy feeling on New Year’s Day.
Anne: color is always a great thing! I love all colors. I look washed out in white and beige, so I avoid them in clothing. But I know some elegant ladies that look splendid in them. I suspect you look great in your white shirts and scarfs etc. or in your new colorful outfits.
Jackie: chocolates have a way of disappearing, almost like they evaporate, don’t they? We have some that did the same during the holidays. Katie had some of our son’s good turkey, so she also had treats. She will have one of her special pumpkin cookies on New Year’s Eve. Then it is back to our routine.
Lin: I am still coughing and I have a scratchy voice. Everyone says it hangs on for at least a month or more. So I just cough and try not to go out much. It is cold and rainy so that is an easy plan.
Sandy: as you well know, OES doggies life span is 10 to 12 years. That is just a sad fact. Ours lasted 13+ years but the last year they struggled and we were in and out of the vet clinic a lot. My heart breaks for both you and Babe. It is scary and heart breaking when you start to see their health going down hill. God bless you, dear friends!
Buzz: dearest friend, so sorry you are suffering. Wish I knew of something to help you. Diversion is my treatment of choice. TV, music, art projects, yelling at irritating political news!
Love you all,
Patsy☘️0 -

A Moroccan lamb stew is being prepared except a search through my spice cupboard hasn’t uncovered paprika so I fear it’s going to be a halfhearted affair! Another lie in this morning has thrown my whole day out starting with our walk on the moors where I found the car park full to bursting with strangers and their excited uncontrolled dogs rushing about. Of course George chose his adversary carefully... the biggest and bounciest Rottweiler more than 10 times bigger than him that luckily took his snarling and snapping chase as a game!! It’s one of those gloomy days with low cloud that threatens rain although it’s not in our forecast so definitely an indoor pottering afternoon ahead. My new hearth didn’t get its promised coats of oil yesterday because once out in my garden I decided to prepare and light a bonfire after I had messaged my neighbours who’d got washing hanging out. Definitely oiling the hearth is my next job.
Earlier I watched the Sydney, Australia new year celebrations and did think it horribly ironic when they are dealing with such devastation from wild fires. No such thing as global warming according to their PM. Where have we found all these worldwide appalling leaders? It’s a trend I don’t like. 🥺
I wish all my sneakers friends a great evening if you stay up to see in 2020. The new year has a ring about it so I’m full of hope for all of us to enjoy a peaceful and healthy time.... It’s Anne’s year of the 🐀 for goodness sake!! 😉
Sending hugs and love across the Pond!
❤️🥳🍾. Jackie0 -
Well, just like JACKIE above, appalling weather here, gloom and wind, plus Jilly and I hit a snow squall whilst on our walk, not a sniff of another dog! She looked cute with her black fur covered in white snow flakes. Me not so cute peering out from under my tuque with just my red nose showing. Christmassy mind you!
We will try to make it to midnight, well me anyway. Jilly goes to bed at nine on the dot. I'm not sure when she learnt to tell the time, but she's as regular as well....clockwork.
Leftover bacon and egg pie for lunch. I shall miss bacon and egg pie, but there again resolutions are made to be broken aren't they?
Mikes back at work, still coughing but on the mend. Hopefully we will see him as usual on Friday.
So terribly dull here, weather included. A day for doing a jigsaw puzzle later this afternoon I think.
I wonder what the year of the rat will bring us all?
Sending love and hugs here, across the pond and across the border,
Anne. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷1 -
Happy Tuesday/ New Year's Eve! Enjoyed our lunch yesterday although the lady with the hurt knee ended up in the hospital with an infection so she could not join us. She has had a really bad year so I do hope 2020 is much better.
I am going to Mass with Joe then getting something to eat before settling in and waiting for the New Year.
Babe is waiting for tests results on Thursday but it is possible she has an intestine infection.
Nothing life threatening but he is more than depressed.
So Anne, I am wondering if you heard of Luka Magnotta from Canada? Don't F**k with Cats is the true story of Canada's most infamous murderer. I did watch the second episode and it is getting more gruesome but will finish the series because it is a true story. I believe his crimes started in 2010 with him posting videos online. I do not know why I am watching but I am.
Jackie, Happy New Year to you as well, enjoy your night before the fire and with your buddies.
Buzz, sorry you are having posting problems but try and enjoy your New Years Eve.
Lin, any plans for bringing in the New Year?
Patsy, I know you will be quietly celebrating with John and Katie.
I leave you all with a Happy New Year and Good Health and Happiness.
Sandy

Happy new year dear sneakers! Music going, a cold foggy day. Perfect for a day to call a few friends and wish them happy new year. Will watch the ball drop at midnight and eat scallops, a fancy salad with capers and a baked potato, champagne and chocolates at the new year. Wish we could all have a video call. Maybe we can figure out how to do that sometime this year.
Yea 2020! A new year and good chance of good changes.
Patsy☘️🥂🎉🎈❣️2 -
Hah! I'm retired!
Actually,I want you all to have a better year than the last one, and a healthy year forever! May we all enjoy our friendships and better weather, and keep up the cheer!

Good afternoon. A cold day here but the streets are pretty good today. I have been out and about since fairly early this morning and just got home. First a trip to Trader Joe’s (they are closed tomorrow so needed to get several things that were low to out), next dropped off perishables at home and off to return a book to a library in another suburb. Next to Natural Grocers for a few things including some very lovely Japanese red sweet potatoes. Flying along to the shopping center/mall where I lingered almost too long at Hobby Lobby pawing over the 80% off Christmas merchandise but finally tore myself away to sort through the single sheet 12 x 12 paper. Hopefully I have enough to start on that project that was sidelined due to lack of paper. However, I do not know how this will cut. If it leaves bits and shreds, well, it will not work and I will have to use it for something else. Luckily it was also 50% off today so the investment was low.
Finally arrived to play Mah Jongg and talk with my friends. Best part of the day. I took the Christmas candy I received from a neighbor since I forgot to take it to church on Sunday. They were pleased to see those individually selected chocolates from our local candy shop. They enjoyed them so that was nice.
We ran quite long with all the discussion and then many wishes for a Happy New Year befor we finally headed for our cars.
I am now in for the duration. I may go for yogurt tomorrow if the one store that carries it is open. If not, maybe I will swing by that store on Thursday when our regular ‘former library ladies’ group gets together if they remember. Haaaa😂. I will be there anyway. I have had several messages about whether we are meeting at all or are we meeting tomorrow. Getting older is fun. Right?
Some interesting plans but no wild drunken parties for any of us these days. With age comes wisdom right?
I will watch something on TV and will probably noodle over another valentine design. I think this is always the most difficult thing for me. I either fall into something I like right away or struggle incessantly. I think this is the latter. 😉
Hugs dear Sneakers. ❤️❤️

Good evening ladies and John,
Feet up, scented candles, a glowing warm fire, a glass of Amaretto on ice and Paul Newman with Robert Redford in The Sting. Nothing else required.... oh yes, 2 sleeping dogs and a cat. 😄

Hello friends, no lovely graphics from here I'm afraid, but please know I am with you all in spirit and wish everyone
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR FULL OF GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS AND FULL OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS YOU ENJOY IN LIFE.

Yea hooray! We are almost there, dear friends! I’ll be right here with you, cheering you on, 2020 will be great just because you are here with me. We will persevere because we must! I don’t think it would be the same without you.
Start writing 2020 on your checks and letters starting now!

Resolution..... throw out that grumpy old woman!! George is testing my resolve with some constant barking but I'm not listening because it's a new year and a new day.
Patsy with champagne comes dancing on the table so I do hope you did so carefully!
Buzz that quote of yours is perfect and shouldn't be difficult to follow so here goes......!
Lin so did you get the yogurt you wanted? I was tempted to go and find an open shop this morning, just for some tomatoes, but decided I can eat an apple instead!
Sandy occasionally I find myself watching an horrific drama and wondering what I'm doing but harm to cats would be too much for me. A few days ago I watched a documentary about the first ever shark attack off America's coast in 1916 near New York when apparently a man swam with a dog and although it ended horribly for him the dog swam back to shore so I'm embarrassed to say that pooch was my main concern and all I felt was relief!! I'm glad Daisy is getting some good care in finding out what might be troubling her but let's be honest, Babe has been depressed since he agreed to his son's demands so continue to look after yourself as you do so impressively.
Anne I think I need your help with my jigsaw because I'm into sky and slate roofs that give little contrast.
An early lunch for me as it's so mild (Scotland had their hottest day on record yesterday!). I may well get out in my garden.
Let's make the rest of our days the best of our days!
Love you all
Jackie
