    Hi Jan—Happy for you to be in new weight territory! I understand what you mean about the body knowing. Hi Roger-i truly hope never to be hospitalized again. In this urgent emergency Distance to ER was my only thought. But even for outpatient tests and labs, United Healthcare dictates which companies I must see. I can choose which branch, but that’s the end of my choices. This was disappointing...after insurance, the cost of getting an in-office flu test for my kid was $80. I would have thought that was covered. I forced myself to pickup doggie stuff in the backyard yesterday. It was well overdue but I can’t say i felt up to it. But I got it done so that’s good. Here’s good news—I finally made a bit of progress on an issue at work. I sent an email to a top dog in one dept stating the issue, the consequences of no action, and my recommendation. He said I’m spot on, but that this is huge. I said i know, but do far nobody in positional authority will own it and fix it. He said he would talk with a top dog of another department (i like that guy too and he’s already familiar with the situation). Feeling hopeful.

    I just checked my email and it seems that my upcoming NS frozen and Shelf Stable foods should arrive today. I now know what I will be doing today.

    Hello!

    It is just misting here and gray. I had to make a quick run to the post office and get some cards in the mail. I am really bad about buying cards for people and not getting them out, lol! I made it this time.

    Val, those hospital bills are just ridiculous. I know they say to shop around for costs on tests and procedures as they vary by ridiculous prices also.That is not always feasible though. As much as I gripe about insurance, I am glad I have it. We waste so much money in this country. I wish people and businesses would just be more accountable!! :#

    It is misting here and just chilly. So far, so good today, though another hungry day. Probably as I am losing into new territory. How does my body know this, lol? :#

    The pictures of the nuclear site were very surreal. interesting about the animals, though I wonder if they are not just roaming into the area. I noticed no pictures about squirrels and other small animals or birds...creepy!!

    Headed for humor!! Keep up the good work all! ...Jan

    Hi Jan
    You are ahead of me, I'm not even good at getting the cards and when I do I tend to the cheap side and buy them at the Dollar Store where they are either $1 per card or two for $1 :smiley:

    When I see bills like that I am so glad I have the Medicare Supplement insurance that pays 100% of covered health costs that Medicare does not cover no matter how much I grumble about the cost of the supplement.

    I wonder if it just that Your mind is saying the scale's reading is so good, Lets Spurge to celebrate. I have that problem FWIW.

    I thought those images were interesting too. I suspect that the small animals are there, and it was more of a not interesting to the photographer than a lack of them.

    In fact a quick check shows this, which You should find to be very interesting reading including where it says
    In the zone, “humans have been removed from the system and this greatly overshadows any of those potential radiation effects.”

    Essentially, this means that human populations have a bigger negative impact than radiation.

    Good Morning!

    Brrr...at 27 degrees it is chilly up north! We finally have some sunshine and we are supposed to reach 70 today, in fact most of the week. We will see. The sun is sure welcome though! Our lows are in the 50's. It is still chilly in the house though.

    Thanks for noticing the effort! I am 2 oz. away from another pound, give or take. Not eating out helps, I must say, and so far so good. It sure is a slow process. :#

    Interesting articles today and great humor! I am glad I am not at the Olympics. That is just brutal conditions. What a shame to wait and train so long and have those conditions at the time of competition.

    Val, It sounds like you are right on tact. Hopefully the follow up is positive. I hope you are somehow resting still a little extra! It is no joke when they say how important your health is as you get older. It seems simple, but in reality small things have such a bigger impact. (not to mention big things, lol!)

    I woke yesterday with a terrible pain in my heel. I can barely walk on it, but I do not think it is gout, or strain. It feels like nerve. I am wondering if sciatica can cause heel pain. Of course, because my shoulder and hip pain is better the last 2 days. My actual nerves seem askew! LOL! :D

    Good exercise putting away all that NS, Roger!! Everyone have a great day!! ..Jan B)

    Hi Jan
    Low 50s are much better than in the 20s like yesterday and 30s where it was this morning.

    2 ounces is doable :)

    I agree, I am fighting the urge to go for the lunch special at the House of Thai for either pad Thai or Pad See yew :(

    It would seem to me that the weather is skewing the results as to who wins.

    My frozen and shelf stable boxes arrived, I have no idea why the were so late in the day unless FedEx changed the drivers routing or added more area to them. They always arrived before 3PM not late in the day where this shipment was way later. Tracking showed Actual delivery: Tue 2/13/2018 6:30 pm :(

    Good Luck with the pain. You could be right as to the cause FWIW.

    Good morning!

    Lost a lb. It was that 2 oz. I had to go! :D
    The next lb. might be harder, lol!

    May is sleeping. So I am being lazy, too! Warm outside, but chilly in the house. The heat is coming on, but hopefully no huge bill. I have church later tonite, and I do need to get there as today is the beginning of Lent. Funny it should fall on Valentines, but not probably for anyone giving up chocolate! :#

    Funny how they change those delivery routes, isn't it? Hopefully all your things arrive safely. Maybe Valentine's made it busy!

    The weather for the Olympics is crazy. What a waste of money too for this year.

    I have heard of the syndrome before with the accents. Wild, though it changes you to something you do not know. That is kind of creepy, to me, as how does your brain get that to access?

    Hope you are okay, Val. I get worried when you don't check in, as I am afraid they are overloading you with work!! <3

    Take care all! Jan

    I did see these:

    Hello!

    Such terrible news about the school shooting in Florida. I can not imagine how hard this is for all the parents and families. It is really ridiculous we sell assault rifles and have such poor mental health. Most of these people had warning signs that were ignored, or people were uneducated about simple signs and precautions. My daughter teaches several will be sociopaths now, but warnings are ignored and covered up by the schools so they do not look bad. Help is done by mediocre paperwork and no real help...Just awful so many are unwilling to change their lifestyle for the sake of children...(Congress and special interest...). :'(

    Val, I hope too your condition is not returning. It is very hard to treat, so watch carefully and trust your gut, no pun intended... :/ I hope you feel better, soon.

    Really interesting about the earthquakes and volcanic activity. Glad I am not in an area prone to that. The weather and everything is so screwy. It does not feel like 70's but it is this week, with possible 80's next week. We are experiencing an early spring, much too early. The house is cold though with the dampness, and the heat runs all day, just with longer periods it is off till it cycles. Weird weather! Some of the early trees are starting to bloom.

    I got a good laugh out of the lizard story, but crazy enough to true!

    I went to supper last night with my daughter and went Vietnamese. I had a wonderful dish with glass noodles, BBQ type chicken, and vegetables and fresh Thai basil,with a peanut sauce (most of the calories!) yet easy to count. I skipped an appetizer, and stayed under my calories. I was full, but I could have eaten 4 bowls it was so good. Trying to be disciplined today! So far, so good, lol.

    Be safe all! Headed for humor...good idea for today! ...Jan

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 55 on the porch and 57 on the cable news channel. The forecast for overnight of rain happened and the rain is forecast to fall throughout most of the day in a on and off fashion. I geared up for the rain and wore a light long sleeve T-Shirt and was still sweating, most likely due to the humidity.

    I tried the Limited Time Dinner Entree called Chicken Provencal :)
    Three Huge Brussels Sprouts, Chunks of Chicken, Asparagus, Zucchini in a Buttery lemon Garlic Sauce. It was tasty and I am happy I ordered three of them...

    Hi Jan
    The only reason I can blame congress is that they should be punishing the ones that ignore the warning signs.

    I do not blame gun control laws, Some of the areas with the toughest gun control laws are also the ones with the most deadly violence. Think of Chicago, NYC, Baltimore etc.

    I suspect that the Dampness is contributing to house feeling cold. I thought You had a dehumidifier to cope with that problem ?

    According to a post in another message thread the Daffodils are in bloom in the Atlanta area :smiley:

    Not what I want to experience either, Volcanoes and Earthquakes, My Aunt and Uncle in southern California had Taller furniture bolted to the walls and plenty of water stored in the garage in case the big one struck.

    I do not recall ever having eaten Vietnamese Food, It was not all that many years ago that I first tried Thai food. Sometime in this century as it happened and that was because it was next door to work.

    It appears that were disciplined enough since You managed this despite the Vietnamese Food :smiley:

    Good morning!

    Thanks for the good words. I did put on a bit from dinner last night. I am sure because of the rice and potatoes. Hopefully it will come off quickly! You are so lucky to have so many food choices where you are. Though maybe not from a diet standpoint! :D

    Interesting articles again. It is back to hard to know what to eat sometimes! I do try to not use too much processed foods. The non stick pans was bad news.

    I have not used the dehumidifiers too much, as the small meters I bought show the humidity down. What can I say, the South is just weird, lol...It must be more we are just used to the heat.

    I have felt a small earthquake here, it was scary, but kind of cool. We have some faults running thru here from the Miss. region. Not the same as Cal. however. :#

    You are probably right on some of the legislation for guns. Something needs to be done, though. Maybe mental health records need to have more access. With this kids backround, he sure did not need a gun.

    Great job on your walking! *Val, hope you are feeling better!! <3 * ...Jan

    I have now posted more humor

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 28 on the porch and 29 on the cable news channel. The forecast is for overnight snow into early tomorrow morning. The forecasts I saw on Friday was for Sundays snow depth to be 1 to 3 inches on some and 5 or 6 inches on other weather forecasts.

    I did see 3 Deer while walking today FWIW.

    I tried the Limited Time Dinner Entree called Yellow Curry Sauced Chicken & Rice @ 210 calories :)
    It was tasty despite being a bit hot, I was able to tolerate it and the heat level reminds me of the Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry. Once the second one I ordered is used up I likely will not Re-Order them. On the good side it was not so hot that I had to pass it on to my brother :)

    Good morning!

    Thanks for the good words. I did put on a bit from dinner last night. I am sure because of the rice and potatoes. Hopefully it will come off quickly! You are so lucky to have so many food choices where you are. Though maybe not from a diet standpoint! :D

    Interesting articles again. It is back to hard to know what to eat sometimes! I do try to not use too much processed foods. The non stick pans was bad news.

    I have not used the dehumidifiers too much, as the small meters I bought show the humidity down. What can I say, the South is just weird, lol...It must be more we are just used to the heat.

    I have felt a small earthquake here, it was scary, but kind of cool. We have some faults running thru here from the Miss. region. Not the same as Cal. however. :#

    You are probably right on some of the legislation for guns. Something needs to be done, though. Maybe mental health records need to have more access. With this kids backround, he sure did not need a gun.

    Great job on your walking! *Val, hope you are feeling better!! <3 * ...Jan

    Hi Jan
    When I fry anything these days I use my Brothers cast Iron Skillet :smiley:
    along with the oven safe Glass lid it works for things in the oven too.
    I may be strange in that I do not worry about processed foods. Any risk from them is no worse than many other environmental factors.

    We had a small earthquake 6 or 7 years ago that I sort of felt, It was more that I was sitting at work talking to my brother who had dropped in and we noticed the surface of the coffee disturbed and the news that night confirmed a small earthquake.

    I have answer if the humidity is down.

    Reality Check: More Minnesotans Own Guns, Violent Crime Remains Low
    My suspicion is that the Violent crime rate stays low due to the weapons not despite them.

    The FBI dropped the ball on the warnings, The Cynic in me wonders if they are putting to much time and effort into the Russian investigation and everything else is secondary ?

    The only concrete item on the Agenda today is getting the low priced Ham into the oven for later today. It was on sale for $0.69 a pound, It is hard to beat the price :smiley:

    Good morning!

    Hope all is well! I love the video links, they are great! :)

    I missed you all were getting snow. Not envious. Perfectly understandable for your neck of the woods. Our weather is so crazy here, I have a hard time remembering it is only Feb. and still winter. The ham sounds good. We are going to eat at a seafood restaurant today, and the chances of me succumbing to a fried dish platter are high. I hate it but so inevitable, lol! >:) Unless I can get crazy about the oyster salad, which sounds really good too.

    I would have had a hard time with that kid on the plane. I feel he does that at home, and it is poor parenting skills. Amazing he did not settle and watch cartoons, as they have plenty on the movies for a selection. I am thinking he never is read to and has little skills as mom produced no books, crayons, or toys at any time....I would have a time with giant rats too...

    I have that glass top stove and not supposed to use my cast iron. :/ I miss it, but saved 2 sizes . One small pan for cornbread, and the next size up for meatloaf and whatever can go in the oven.

    I would hate to be that person in the FBI that missed that whole report on the Florida kid. That is pretty inexcusable in that circumstance.. :'(

    Hope you are careful walking with that snow! *Val, hope you are doing okay! * ...Jan

    Hi. I think my yucky feeling is a sinus infection because flushing that out is working. I guess the stabbing pains (couple times a day) are from scar tissue. Em and I went to the beach today and walked 5 miles! Hip is sore but it was lovely! zrx50k85or0d.jpeg

    and I did it again, more humor posted

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 34 on the porch and on the cable news channel. The forecast snow ended early overnight and they plowed around 2AM. The Footing was Good overall, I hit one slippery spot with one foot towards the end of the walk. The Snow that was left on the ground was getting crunchy sounding too. Then On my return home I saw that my Brother had nearly finished shoveling the Driveway so I grabbed the other shovel and tackled the sidewalk leading to the street. Despite the ordinance against parking on the streets when snow is falling to allow for the plowing I did pass several cars that the plows had to detour around :(

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far. Whee And that is despite that we had the Bargain Price ham for Dinner with oven roasted Potato wedges and Oven Baked Asparagus cooked in the Cast Iron skillet in the oven at the same time the Potato wedges were cooking on the Cookie sheet that was sprayed with Olive Oil spray and some Montreal Seasoning sprinkled on the Potatoes, We had a Neighbor in for the meal too so the Afternoon passed easily.

    Hi Jan
    You did not miss anything important, It is only snow and so far less than some years despite being more that I wanted. Every now and then I hear a car crunching down the street.

    If that kid does that at home, he may end up as the only child :smiley:
    I would hate to be those parents if that is what they allow to happen, it indicates a total lack of concern for others :(

    The cast iron skillets work really well in the oven for frying foods too, especially since They cook the top and bottom at the same time.

    I wonder why they say no cast iron on the glass top stove, I had thought about getting one for the next time the stove needs replacing since in my mind it is easier to keep clean ? However that is out as my brother uses his daily :(

    On the bright Side You are logging Your foods. I hope Your Seafood was delicious.

    I did go out the front door and shovel the steps and a bit of the sidewalk before going walking for two reasons....
    1. I did not want to pack it down and make it harder to clear on my return which was my plan before I came home and saw my brother out there doing the driveway. I walked across the lawn outgoing for the same reason.

    2. I wanted to check the traction before heading out and if it was slippery I would have come back in the house and brewed a pot of coffee :smiley: I also wore the insulated Boots to keep my feet dry and warm as well as the fact that they have a much more aggressive tread pattern for traction.

    Last Night before I trundled off to bed I looked out at the falling snow and it was building up on all of the branches and looked really pretty, This morning it is bot as nice as some of the snow fell off overnight.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    The Beatles singt Geh Weg (or at least Paul McCartney tries to). I think the follow-ups are Ringo Starr singing the very moving Beatles song Warum machen wir es nicht auf der Strasse (Why don't we do it in the road) and George Harrison singing Lovely Rita Meter Maid (Liebliche Rita, Politesse).

    Hi Val
    I'm happy to hear that You are getting a handle on the Yucky feeling and have found something that helps :smiley:

    Somebody is nearly Your height, wow.
    BTW I think I preferred the older Smokey the Bear slogan "Only You can prevent Forest fires".

    Congratulations :) , You walked further than I do and I do not even have a sore hip slowing me down :(

    I had been sure Em would be taller than me (5’5”, prev 5’6”) because her dad is 6’1”. But, Em is full grown at 5’2”. Her dad’s mom was 5’0” so we know where she got her height from...and fortunately a high metabolism too.

    And yet more humor is posted

    Hi
    I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 28 on the porch and 36 on the cable news channel. The snow that had fallen has melted away in most places leaving decent footing for my walk.

    I tried the new Strawberry Yogurt flavored bar Lunch Entree...
    Tasty if Very Sweet and a Good Texture and it even smelled like Strawberries when I opened it.

    Sunday Morning we broke down the rest of the Ham into portions and today I will Vacuum seal some of them. That way they can go into the freezer to serve as protein servings for me :)

    The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far. Whee

    5'2" is still taller than one of my nieces. I wish I had a High Metabolism :(

    Good Morning!

    Yesterday seemed a long day with church, though it was a good day. I had my fish that was leftover, which was still really good warmed up. That was just an awesome 2 day meal, lol! I totally bypassed eating lunch at church, and did the dishes again. :) I did unfortunately eat at small group but very little. I did gain a few oz. but I can live with that. Your dinner sounded really good! I am totally impressed by your losing with fasting, by the way.

    Yeah, I was not happy about my stove's book telling me not to use cast iron on top of the range. But I have an electric skillet that does well anyway. My friend uses hers though on a just slightly older glass top with no problem. She did not remember her book saying not to, but she admits she did not read it well. My new one has restrictions on even other pan bottoms. They prefer totally smooth, and I just bought one with more of a circular grooved bottom. I use it anyway with no problems, though occasionally I probably slide it more than I should, adjusting while cooking. I still like it though, especially not cleaning those burners! :D

    Loving the video's! It sure brings back memories! Also loved all the humor!

    I am still catching up on all the articles. I kind of loved the apple employees running into the glass! That is so me...I am glad though no serious injuries. That would be bad...

    I am sure all that shoveling is another reason to lose weight! :) You enjoy your crazy weather (back and forth!)!

    Val, I loved your pic of you and Em! I am glad you were able to take the day! And I love how happy you both look! A great picture!! <3

    Take care all!! .. Jan

    Jan-thank you for mentioning the incompatibility between a glass top stove and a cast iron skillet. I’ve had the stove 7 years, and the skillet a few months. It didn’t occur to me to re-read my stove instructions. Thanks for the compliment...we had a lovely day at the beach. Very grateful to my friend for driving because I couldn’t have made the trip without her. More stress at work...a co-worker told me that my boss is off this week...but I just talked to ger Sunday and she didn’t mention that. I’m suspicious that her boss is pushing her out. I don’t know. But so far it looks like I’m ‘safe.’
