Good morning;
I am laying low again today. I don't have any energy and now have a hacking cough.
Vix-good luck with your diet and enjoy body flow class.
Hi Roger and Irene.
It is a gray miserable day. We are expecting bad weather for the next few days.
Enjoy your day!0 -
Hi
I was out walking for 8.7K Steps, The temperature is 36 degrees and there seems to be a light fog and overnight there was some rain.
I am not sure how tomorrow will play out walking as the last weather forecast I saw earlier this morning shows Snow starting before 5AM Thursday and showed much of NJ in the 5 to 10 inch snow fall and also stated that it would accumulate fast
Have a Great Wednesday
Roger
N.J.'s oldest nurse, 97, rewrites the rules on aging
As the digital numbers flashed on the blood pressure monitor, Emerson’s public health nurse got right to the point with her 82-year-old patient.
“When did you have your last physical? Do you go for a physical every year?” Kathryn Hodges asked.
"Not really,” Kenneth Dunne said.
“Well, you should,” the nurse said, jotting on a form. “We always say if that number is over 90, you should get it checked out. Are you on blood pressure medication? Did you get a flu shot?"
When “Kay” Hodges advises and cajoles, her words are bolstered by experience – three quarters of a century’s worth.
At 97, she is both New Jersey’s oldest licensed registered nurse and a poster girl for people who stay active and productive at such an advanced age.
Those over 90 are the fastest-growing segment of the population. By 2050, 10 percent of all senior citizens will be either a nonagenarian or a centenarian, the Census Bureau forecasts.
Of course, physical or cognitive impairments, or both, enfeeble many in this age group. The most fortunate are like the fiercely independent Hodges, whose biggest complaint is a bothersome knee.
Look around and you’ll find people in their 90s living in their own homes, driving, volunteering, serving their communities and churches – even continuing in their professions. Hodges, who walks unaided and tools around in a 25-year-old Buick Roadmaster wagon with oxidized paint and a GRAMPIE vanity plate, does all of those things.
What she has no plans to do is stop.
“I want to leave this Earth with my boots on,” Hodges said. “I want to keep working. It’s the love of my life, other than my husband, who was a great guy.”
The former Kathryn Appley grew up in Emerson and graduated from Westwood High School in 1937. She had to wait till the following year, after her 18th birthday, to begin the nursing program at Hackensack Hospital.
“Crazy, isn’t it?” she said, laughing. “I always wanted to be a nurse, and I’ve always been one!”
Hodges in an undated family portrait, circa 1940s.
She finished nursing school in 1941, months before Pearl Harbor. The following year, she married her high school sweetheart, Donald Hodges. The couple settled in Westwood.
On her first job, Hodges performed physicals on employees of a medical laboratory. After taking a few years off when her two sons were little, she became the public health nurse for the borough of Westwood. She also started as a Westwood poll worker. Last Nov. 8, her 55th general election, she rose before sunrise and put in a 15-hour day as the judge at her district’s polling place.
Hodges has been Emerson’s public health nurse – a part-time post that involves health screenings, education and prevention – since 1967. Her cheerful office is located in the senior center. Most who come to see her, for a blood pressure check or for the advice of a seasoned and accessible nurse, are elderly.
“They talk about this little pain, that little pain. Maybe I can be of some help to them,” Hodges said. “You have to have a love of people and a real desire to keep them well, so they be active citizens and do their own thing.”

I am sorry to hear that You are Under the Weather.
It does not sound like good weather there either.
Did You see this one?
http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/06/early-edition-boston-globe-gets-super-bowl-result-wrong/
February 6, 2017 at 1:09 pm
South Florida subscribers of the Boston Globe reportedly would’ve had to do a double-take Monday morning.
Instead of reading about the Patriots’ 34-28 overtime Super Bowl win, those subscribers were treated to the headline “A Bitter End.”
Clearly the early edition was printed before Brady led a historic comeback to beat the Falcons in a moment some likened to famous “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline held up by Truman after he topped Dewey in the 1948 presidential election.
Evidence of the Globe’s misstep circulated social media Monday thanks to ESPN’s Field Yates.
Family friends in Naples, FL had this delivered to their house this morning. The perils of early edition newspapers. pic.twitter.com/iSbchhrqSx

Good morning....another gray morning.
It got up to about 70 yesterday!
Very strange results from my food sensitivity test...a lot of things that are "healthy" that I eat all the time, have to be off my diet, at least temporarily. Will be a very limited diet for 2 weeks, then start adding things in.
Off to body flow this morning.
Have a great day.
Hi Vix
I hope that removing them helps.
Healthy just means healthy for many not all
Any Fog by You today?
Good Luck

Hi Irene
You are doing good on Your steps, Congratulations.
There is snow in the forecast, currently we seem to be in the 5 to 10 inch range. They are also saying it will be a wet heavy weight snowfall Not so much fun shoveling that.
I may or may not go out in the morning as the snow should be falling before I get up. I may try and see how the footing is.
Good Luck with the Surgeon

Good morning.
Irene, hope you don't get too much snow.
We had a little snow overnight, but the roads and sidewalks look clear, probably icy. Schools are closed, so my class is cancelled. Will find other things to do.

Hi
I was out walking for 8.5K Steps, The temperature is 32 degrees and it was already snowing when I went out the door. I wore the complete Frogg Toggs, That would be rain Jacket and Pants. I also wore my Insulated Boots for traction. I also have decided I am crazy for heading out walking in the snow
Have a Great Thursday

Hi Irene
I am running late between running out of energy from the extra walking I did yesterday and then today's walking followed by shoveling this heavy snow
I Was really feeling it from walking through the ever deepening snow. It was OK at 6:15, however by 7:30 as I was heading for home, It was more like walking through soft sand at the beach.
I think You made the right decision staying home today
I plan to stay home tomorrow as the temperature is supposed to drop combined with a bitter wind chill...
I have a suspicion that this wet heavy snow will end up with a sheet of ice under by Friday morning so I plan to play it safe.
Have a Great Day
RogerGood morning.

Hi Vix
With this wet snow I see the neighbor is struggling with it with his small snow blower, I have heard it stall multiple times in the last few minutes.
I would not be surprised if it was icy
While I was walking I heard a thump and saw where a car on the plowed snow covered road had hit the curb. I also was Slushed when the State plows went by, It was a good thing I was where I could lean against something and was wearing Rain gear from head to toe. When I heard them coming I turned away from the road so as to not get hit with slush in the face.
I am sure You will find something to do.
Have a Good Day

Good afternoon;
I am feeling better today, still coughing, but I went to work. We have a blizzard warning for our area. It is really windy and visibility is very poor. Luckily I didn't have any traffic on the way home from work. I just took it slow and steady.
Irene-Wise decision to cancel your appt.
Roger-I bet you burned extra calories plowing through the snow.
Vix-I hope you found something fun to do.
Enjoy your day and stay safe! 0 -

Hi Joanne
I suspect I did too, as I ran out of get up and go as I neared the house
Then I know I burned more calories shoveling that heavy snow. We went out and shoveled before it was finished snowing and after the snow plows had come through. Then this afternoon after the snow had ended we went and shoveled again. One thing left to do, My own Car, The Buick
Slow and steady is the key.
I am happy You are feeling better, Stay safe & warm
Roger
P.S. I will mention that at this moment I have 11K steps and that for tomorrow I do not plan to go walking as the temperature is forecast to drop way down with a wicked wind chill. I am afraid that all that wet slush at the bottom of the snow will turn to ice and make the footing unsafe to walk on.

good morning, well took today off also it was too cold and icy for me.

Off to zumba gold...arm and leg are kind of ouchy this morning, so I'll see what I can do.

Hi
I was not out walking today, The temperature is 21 degrees and that has a bitter feel to it when I stuck my head out the door. Yesterdays snow was wet and heavy and had a wet layer at the bottom of it due to the way the temperatures started out warm and dropped. I decided to stay home and avoid probable slippery conditions.
Have a Great Friday

Hi Vix
After doing what I did I was done for by the time we did the second shoveling too. I did not even touch the snow on my car. I hope that does not turn out to be a mistake now that the temperatures had dropped significantly.IreneMurman wrote: »good morning, well took today off also it was too cold and icy for me.

Hi Irene
As far as I could tell from the last nights weather reports how much snow You got depended on where You were in the state. I appears that we had 9" + where I am and it was a heavy snow that was a chore to clear off the sidewalks and Driveway too
Have a Nice Day
RogerGood morning.
Off to zumba gold...arm and leg are kind of ouchy this morning, so I'll see what I can do.

Hi Again
I hope the Zumba only loosens up Your arm and leg and does not acerbate the Soreness.
Good Luck

Yes, I think it just loosened me up a little. Yay!

Good afternoon;
We got about a foot and a half of snow. It was fluffy under the coating of ice. Hubby cleared out the driveway last night, so all I had to do was clean off my car and go.
Vix-Yay for the Zumba loosening you up.
Roger-you deserve a day off after shoveling heavy snow.
Irene-smart girl, taking today off from walking, you would not want to slip on the ice and injury your new knee.
The sun is shining and I am sitting here, having my green tea and enjoying the view of the snow covered yard.
Enjoy your afternoon. 0 -
Hi
I was out walking today and did 9800 steps, The temperature is 37 degrees and that is a fair amount warmer than yesterday. There was a coating of ice under any snow that was not shoveled.
I had a off day yesterday for Dinner. We ordered in from Joe's Meat Market, They deliver cooked foods or uncooked. I ordered the Market Steak with Peter Luger Steak Sauce that came with fries and a Home Made Cheesecake, Too Much foods, I felt overstuffed
My Brother had the Fish and Chips, and a Sausage Pizza. that is mostly for today's consumption.
Have a Great Saturday

Good morning.
Wow! That's a lot of snow, Jo! I guess in New England you're used to it. It is nice to relax inside with a cup of something hot or in front of a fireplace when it's all snowy out.
Roger, it's about the same here, supposed to get to almost 60 today and the sun is shining. Sounds like you had a feast! I don't think any of us are used to that much heavy food anymore.
I'm on a supervised elimination diet now. I can have grass fed beef (organic), but won't be having any of the rest of that for a really long time.
Irene, hope you had a relaxing day.
Nothing yet planned for today, but I'm sure we'll get out somewhere.
Happy Saturday!0 -

Hi Vix
I believe that shoveling helped me lose weight the first year I was on NS. That Winter we had lots of snowfalls
Congratulations on feeling better

Hi Joanne
You were so Lucky, our snow ended up Being a wet heavy snow and it had the ice on the bottom. I used up a 25 pound bag of Rock Salt between the Driveway and Sidewalks, I spread it as we shoveled just to avoid slipping and falling when shoveling. OTOH we did get less snow, I suspect that the weight of our snow was heavier despite being not as deep
We have a nice view too, The Sun is coming and going and it does look like a nice day out. Today it should get up to around the mid 40s.
I finished the Green Hornet radio show from the 40s that were loaded on my iPod today while walking and right after I switched to classic rock it announced in my ear "Low Battery" so I need to do some volume leveling and load more Green Hornet etc, and then sync and charge the iPod.
I though that was a smart move by Irene too. I did likewise as I knew there was ice under the snow.
Yesterday we did hit the local produce store and I bought two types of Apples, Gala and a new to me one called Pacific Rose, Grapes and a pound of Strawberries @ $1.29 for the pound. Variety being a good thing.
Have a Nice Day

good morning, we went for a nice walk today I got in almost 9 k is is good for me here in browns mills. Well we only got like 3 inches of snow which was fine with me .Not sure what we are doing the rest of the day0

Good evening;
After work today, I came home and had a nap. It was snowing when I went to work this morning and we are getting more tomorrow into Monday.
Roger-You will have to let us know if you liked the Pacific Rose apples. There are so many new variety of apples.

Hi
I was out walking today and did 8092 steps, The temperature is 33 degrees and that is colder than yesterday. It drizzled for a few minutes while I was walking and the streets were wet when I went out the door. There is a possibility of freezing rain or sleet or rain for my area, They can not seem to make up their minds they are showing icy conditions north of me. Luckily It stayed only wet and the traction was good and most of the sidewalks were clear from yesterdays warm temperature. There was a raw feel to the air as there was a breeze, I had the hood up on the Hoodie and Rain jacket which It did drizzle somewhat.
I stopped at the grocery store and picked up some in the shell nuts and a couple of Black Plums for variety.
Have a Great Sunday

Hi Irene
9K is a good distance, You seem to be fairly well recovered from the surgery.
I would have been happy with only 3 inches of snow, we had 9 inches more or less.

Hi Joanne
I did notice that north of me snow was in the forecast.
They were OK, the ones I had were a bit large, weighing 329 grams on the one I just weighed or 11.6 ounces. With a decent crunch and a little sweet. The Web shows:

Which means that one of them is without weighing the core to determine the net weight is till sort of high in Carbs and Calories due to the size that were available when I bought mine.

Good morning!
Good for you,Roger for getting your walk in.
You too, Irene!
Jo...that's a lot of snow!
Currently raining and 41 here. We've been lucky so far.Supposed to go up to 50 today. Don't want to walk in the rain.
Ended up buying some new towels and bathmats yesterday, and went for a walk around the neighborhood. No plans for today, other than trying to make some split pea soup with limited ingredients. Signed up for memberships in the Sierra Club and the Arthritis Foundation, quite the combo! Signed a petition to save the environment. Hopefully will find somewhere to go out later.

I was happy to be able to get it in as the weather was looking iffy in the weather forecasts last night and this morning. Tomorrow looks to be a miserable day due to high winds too. You are having warmer weather than I
Good Luck saving the environment
