Janet - enjoy your cruise and you will be in my prayers till you are safely back home. It is so lovely when you have friends like that.
Meg - Happy belated Birthday.
Barbie - sounds as if holiday is lots of fun and I am sure your babies are missing you too!
Patceoh - I have printed off the Subject to Read and will try to look at it every day.
Michele from NC - so glad you did not lose your pocketbook, it is so much hassle trying to replace everything. Vince sounds wonderful.
DrKatieBug - I keep doing the same thing on ipad and despite trying to keep my fingers out of the way It still keeps happening and annoys me every time!
TNToni - what a man you have!
Lisa H - have got the book was n Kindle, now just got to find time to read it! I am in Ipswich (luckily I was at work yesterday when it was the football play off between Ipswich and Norwich which ended in a 1 all draw). I am going to try the scrambled eggs tomorrow and I am intrigued by it. As my partner is in Birmingham he loves coming to visit and we make sure we go to the seaside, two weeks time it will be Walton-on-the -Naze and then Felixstowe, which we both love visiting.
I have been swimming for first time in 10 days and cannot believe how much of a struggle it was. Must try to keep it up. Happy Mother's Day to all in U.S.

Happy Mother's Day!
Sylvia, hope you have a wonderful time on your trip.
Meg, belated Happy Birthday.
Pip, Happy Birthday to you. Looked up Red Robin and it looks like they have some wonderful burgers.
Heather, you are in a lovely place. Have fun.
The glass in my glasses cracked yesterday and the nose piece came off. I went to Walmart and they put a new nose piece on. Decided to go ahead and get my eyes checked and bought new glasses which will be here in about a week. Dr. said I would probably have to have cataract surgery in a yr or so. My mom had that many years ago and she can see perfectly without glasses at age 89. They put in new lenses for close up and far. I am getting progressives with transition built in. Hope I will see better.

Another thing I did on Saturday that was fun was going to lunch in downtown Atlanta at Merry Mac's Tea Room with 5 friends from college (45 yrs ago). This place was like a madhouse because a lot of people were celebrating graduations. The food was very Southern and very good.

Meg: Thank you so much for the information on bursa! I have hope for additional improvement. Losing the excess weight has certainly helped, and I think that my efforts at making the muscles and ligaments surrounding the joint stronger are also helping. As kids, we heal swiftly. Now it takes much longer.
Sylvia: Enjoy your trip to Spain.
Michele: I’m thinking about your food dilemma at the party. I hope you come up with a plan that works for you. Can you take an emergency sandwich in a cooler in your car? That way you can see what they have and slip outside to get your sandwich if needed.
Lisa from Vancouver: You’ll find a blank star at the top of our page. If you click on it , it will turn yellow. Then when you want to find us again, you can click on the gray star on the community page and it will take you to this thread at the place you left off. I see that Carey gave you a nice picture. I’ll need to learn to do that one of thee days.
Heather: A picture speaks a lot more than a thousand words. The view of the Welsh coastline you shared is fabulous. Thanks for taking us all there.
Janet: Enjoy your cruise with you dear friend.
Happy Mother’s Day to all! We have reservations for breakfast at a nice local restaurant, and then will take flowers to my mom’s grave in my hometown. We usually visit the cemetery on Memorial Day, but decided to give Mom a special visit of her own this year. I have some lovely Rhododendron blossoms to take her.

Hi Everyone,
Carey Thanks for your encouragement. Took your advise and spoke w/ DH and said that even though I was not a mother I would like to do something special & fun today. after giving it some thought he suggested we go for a ride to Cape Cod and visit a flee market that was advertised. He's getting ready and I'm just wanting to make a quick post expressing my gratitude. 1) for this community 2) Carey's good advise 3) for my DH.
A Happy Beautiful Ladies Day it is.

afternoon Ladies~
as suspected had a huge blow up in the car at Walmart, not speaking to him right now...I can't take the stress, I understand he isnt feeling good, but all he does is scream and yell, and I dont deserve that. I really needed to go to 2 stores and when he found that out he flipped out, so ended up doing a half crack job at Walmart,it was packed and I dont do well under pressure, I was there an hour and he kept texting me to see when I was coming..
had a pork loin in the crockpot so that will be his dinner, my DS wished me and all the other mother's Happy Mother's day on Facebook, got a text fom the daughter that she and Tal were late for church but they would call later..
beautiful weather out, should have taken a ride to the shore, but with old grumpy head I am trying to stay clear...
Naomi~ going to the Wellfleet Flea Market? I love that we always have a good time...0 -
Sylvia – I always get horribly cranky pre-travel as well. My husband, bless him, simply disappears.
Heather/UK – Rhossli Beach looks totally gorgeous…
Naiomi in Mass – I scarred a Walmart greeter forever who handed me a flower on Mother’s Day once and wished me a Happy Mother’s Day. I’d been told I was infertile a few short months prior. I’ll draw a gentle curtain over my remarks, most of which were regrettable in retrospect. I understand the feelings of invisibility—and lived there too for a lot of years. I’m SO glad your DH is taking you out for Beautiful Ladies Day, and it is very well-deserved.
DamitJanit – Enjoy the cruise!
Carol/Peach – Hope the cataract surgery does as well for you as for your mom – I’m up to 3.0 magnification in readers/cheaters, whatever you want to call them, but glasses are seriously just a pain. Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to deal with them at all?
Katla – I miss the rhododendrons in Oregon – that amazing burst of color, especially when the cities plant them in the medians. Of course in Oregon, unlike here, you could plant a stick, and it would burst into bloom of some kind. The wildflowers were just amazing, as well as the cultivated plants.

Quiet day at the ranch--finished my article for the week and sent it off this morning.
Celebrated Mother's Day by making my Mama's bread recipe for my husband. He's patiently waited for almost two and a half months while my life settled down to the point where I could get around to making bread again. I started making it for him when we first got here because it was so much easier to make it myself than to drive 45 minutes to town when I forgot it!
At any rate... Mama's been gone 16 years, but she lives on for me in things like this. She left flour off the list of ingredients, probably because she figured if you didn't know that breadmaking took flour, you had no business making bread anyway. I miss her.
Hope those of you do celebrate Mom's Day did, and the rest have had a lovely Beautiful Ladies Day.
I've got This Little Pig's final print proof in my hands (happy dance, it's real!). Thank you very much to those of you who picked up the Kindle version. Hopefully the print version will be available soon for anyone else who's interested.

Happy Mother's Day :flowerforyou:
This picture was from a wonderful day at Shaw's garden with my mom. One of my MFP friend suggested posting a favorite picture with mom.

Ok is it me?
I sorta feel left out.... all my facebook family and are spending time with there family, and God Bless my brother and sister in law or I wouldnt have even gotten a hidee ho..
Tried calling my daughter early and she was running late for church with Taliah, and my son just wished me a Happy Mother's Day on facebook and that was it..
now I know it is a trumped up Holiday... but even one card would have been nice, not that expensive...
Honest,I thought I was a good mother.. tried to do alot with them when they were younger, was at all there school functions, made cupcakes for there classroom birthdays...
yes I divorced there father, and Tracy's boyfriend is controlling to a point, but gee...
sort of feel depressed.. Oh well I will put on my big girl panties and deal as I usually do..
Hope everyone had a lovely day.. enjoyed your family and hopefully they spoiled you rotten....0 -
Today I am glad to be the mom of 3 sons. The eldest talked on the phone with us last night, but never mentioned Mothers Day, but I am ok with that. He is 25...in the Navy, so he has alot to think about besides me. I am proud of him regardless :-) The last time I saw him was in January.
My middle son 20, is going to skype with us at 5pm with his new wife. They are both in the Navy, so just seeing them will be awesome. I saw them both at their wedding in Sept.
My 16 yr old at home here, gave me a tall-lanky kid- hug and I am happy with that. He also made a pot of coffee.
Being a mom of Navy sons can be a tough thing. The fact that I raised them until they were 17 yrs old but then the Navy gets them for 20 yrs seems harsh at times. Scheduling a visit is near impossible, and holidays are whenever you wish them to happen. So you see them when you see them. No expectations, no demands, they are serving a higher calling. So I just try not to cry too much when I do see them, and realize that the ache in my heart is similar to the ache I felt when my husband went out to sea. I feel honored to have it.
:-) Hugs to all of you.0 -
happy Mother's day to all my wonderful friends here on mfp! I hope you were deservedly spoiled today!
Sylvia: why is the trip depressing you? Have you considered a house sitter instead of kenneling the babies? We always use a house sitter.
Margaret: beautiful picture! So sweet!
OK this was fast and sweet...I hope! More visiting happening, so must run! Love to all, Meg in soggy Omaha0 -

i'm sorry girlfriend... i don't have any family around me (just husband) we are in washington and everyone is in california. i don't have any kids, other than our 3 dogs, so moms day is kinda another day. i however do make the calls to the few moms that i know. now that my mom and i have a relationship again, i do call her. my mom didn't do any of the poop you did for your kids, if i had that kind of a mother, i would be all over her! people sometimes just don't appreciate what they have.. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU!!!!0 -
Here's the ol lady, the remaining sister on the left janie and the youngest of 3 boys, joey (1yr older than me) the ONLY selfie mom has ever done, she doesn't even know what that is AND the RARE pic of her smiling.0 -
Since I am an on again off again getting fatter by the moment dieter....My goal is to 1. Stay off refined sugar for 1 month. 2. Exercise every day to some degree, show up darn it Bobbie, show up., 3. To diet for 30 whole days, and to keep track of it here. Not looking for perfection (still finishing that home made banana bread), but I am looking for participation out of myself. I will be forgiving but also demanding.0

Monday morning and rained all night and still raining. No training as we need to but dog food, he hates the stuff Mildred loved, so shopping we must go. He had bacon for breakfast and wolfed the lot. Food = 1430 cals.
Rained all day yesterday and even the dog ran out and back in. Stan bathed him in the bath, he smells nice again now, lol.
We have NO family in Tasmania, Hoped daughter would ring but NO. I think they went to her husband's parents.

When my mother was alive there was nothing I did for her on Mothers Day that met her expectations.
Today my awesome husband did exactly the right things---no card, no gift, no restaurant meal. He knows that thriftiness in money and calories is what I wanted. He made sure I had plenty of time at the hotel fitness center and said many sweet things.
Barbie from beautiful NW Washington and today in beautiful NW California0 -
Well. I think for the first time since joining this forum, I missed a day of reading. We left early yesterday morning and got back about 11:30 last night. I was exhausted. We have done this one day trip so many times I don't know what was different. I wanted to go to Sunday School but was fooling myself in thinking I could do it. I did go to church and enjoyed that. It gave me enough adrenalin rush that I thought I was OK. But the longer I was back home, the tireder I was. We were supposed to meet my sister and her son and wife at Cheddars but as usual, they were late. The whole meal was a fiasco. Cheddar's have big booths, small booths and then areas where they can put enough tables and chairs to fit a big group.There were only 7 of us but 3 of them are very large and one other isn't small. So 6 of us squeezed into the big booth and the biggest guy who can't fit into a booth sat on a chair at the end and got knocked by so many people as walked by. I forgot to tell them to leave the sauce off my grilled fish tacos and it jsut didn't taste the same.
Allison, I am like you. At Christmas my family is all here so it doens't bother me so much that I don't get a gift from my husband. But there is no holiday that he does anything. Michelle was with me, Christina gave me a nice tribute on face book. But to her defense we did spend all day with her yesterday. But there are many, many holidays that I get nothing. Every holiday is just another day of the year. I miss my parents so much. Every day was a holiday for them.
TNToni and Naomi, my husband rolled down the driveway one day and rolled over the mailbox. He had the car on the risers to change the oil. He had the drivers door open and the car rolled off the risers and went down the driveway. He was so worried about rolling up into the neighbors yard across the street, he didn't realize the door was open and he would hit the mailbox. Well, it took down the mailbox AND the car door! Now if I had made a mistake like that I hate to think of what all he would have done, the words he would have called me. But he laughed at himself and has told the story to many people. Husband can be one person at home and another one with friends.
I did read all the posts but was to tired to make any notes. Have fun and safe travels to all of you traveling. heather I can swear you took that picture straight out of book. I'll be better tomorrow. This is the second day in a two week period I was this exhausted.
Joyce, Indiana0 -
Did 50 minutes of Buns and Thighs pilates DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do one segment of the 10 minute tummy toner DVD, hold my plank, and then do a 10 pound down DVD.
Lisa from Vancouver - at the top of the page you will see a star. Click on that and it will turn yellow. That will tell you that you've bookmarked this site. Then, whenever you want to come here, just click on "bookmarks" and it'll be here. Click on that link and it'll bring you right here. Just remember at the end of the month when barbie makes a new thread that you unclick the star from the previous month and highlight the star for the present month
naiomi - oh, trust me, I do the sweeping in the pool when it's hottest out. Usually we don't need to do it this often, but we're getting rid of that algae. The water is no longer green, it's just a cloudy blue. Big difference from a week ago, big big difference.
Heather - lovely pic. How can you ever leave? Thanks for sharing
Janet - so glad your friend made it. Hey, you probably burned a lot of calories exercising (your jaw), but that's good.
Carey - I think you're right. Good idea. Now I just have to find a place that sells them....lol
carol/peach - Vince had cataract surgery last year. Admitted he was VERY worried at first. But when he got the bandage taken off, his comment to the doctor was "when can we do the second one?" I think that is the first time EVER that he actually looked forward to an operation. I wish you the best, but I'm sure everything will be fine
katla - My dilemma is that I just don't want to hurt feelings. That's just me. A year ago we had the bowling party and I had one of their hamburgers. I haven't had a hamburger since then. My stomach felt so horrible afterwards. I probably could have gotten by if it had been half as thick. I just have no desire to feel that horrible again.
Alison - you might want to get extra hardware. Maybe just one or two. What'll happen if in 5 years one breaks and they've been discontinued? You'll have to replace all the hardware. So if you just buy one or two extras now, at least you won't have to replace all the hardware. Don't worry, I didn't get any Mother's Day cards, either. Jessica and Denise did call. But, of course, Bryan didn't. Not that I even expected him to. Vince talked about taking me to Red Lobster, but that one didn't happen. Earlier today I told him that there were just 3 things that I wanted, to trim the trees at the back of the property so that when I cut the grass the branches didn't get tangled up in my hair, to inflate my raft for the pool (even tho I won't use it until we get the chlorine level to normal. At least it'll be ready for when I can use it) and to glue this piece of quarter round back. Actually, since Vince had the saw out, he trimmed these evergreen trees at the back of the property, too. Not that I had a problem with him doing that.
annr - you did a wonderful job raising your sons, that I can tell. I like your saying "there is perfection in imperfection"
I got this from the Hungry Girl site. Did you know???
Consider yourself a calorie connoisseur? Here are five facts you may not know...
1. Calories from fiber don't always count.
Here's the deal: Your body doesn't absorb calories from insoluble fiber, a.k.a. indigestible fiber. So when you chomp on a 65-calorie cup of raspberries, you're only really taking in around 35 calories. WOW, right? Now, on some high-fiber products, these indigestible calories have already been subtracted from the total calories listed: Fiber One Original bran cereal, for example. To determine if the calories from fiber have already been subtracted, just multiply the number of fat grams by 9, the number of carbs by 4, and the number of protein grams by 4. Add those up to get the total calories. If that number is significantly higher than the calorie count listed, there's a good chance those fiber calories have already been subtracted. If not, go ahead and subtract 4 calories for each gram of insoluble fiber. Another source of indigestible calories? Sugar alcohols, like the kinds in certain low-carb and sugar-free products.
2. The numbers on food nutrition labels are allowed to be inaccurate by up to 20 percent.
This one is a bit unsettling, but it's true: The US Food and Drug Administration allows the nutrition facts on packaged foods to be up to 20 percent off. That means your 350-calorie frozen meal could have more like 420 calories. What can we do with this information, aside from cooking every single thing we eat from scratch? First of all, trust your instincts if something seems too good to be true -- especially when it comes to mom & pop companies touting diet-friendly stats. Supporting small business is great, but big brands often have better resources to ensure accuracy. And here's a smart way to check the accuracy of multi-serving snacks: Weigh out a portion to see if it matches the serving size listed on the label. Read more on this topic here...
3. You burn calories doing nothing.
Even if you were to just lie around doing nothing but existing all day long, you would still burn some calories. That’s because your body still needs energy to do things like breathe and circulate blood. Think of it this way: If you consume around 1,800 calories per day and maintain your weight, that means you're burning about 1,800 calories per day... even if you're not exercising. So if you burn 400 calories during an hour-long exercise routine, you won't break even by eating 400 extra calories. (There goes that excuse to overindulge!) Everybody's resting calorie rate (a.k.a. BMR) is different -- click here to calculate an estimate.
4. Sometimes, a calorie isn't just a calorie.
Sure, a Mango Coconut Soyjoy bar and a can of regular Coke both have 140 calories each... but one has protein and fiber, and the other is basically sugar. That protein and fiber will keep you satiated much longer than those sugary calories. Similarly, healthy fats (like avocado) and complex carbs (like whole grains) are the types of calorie sources that will stay with you for a while. On the other hand, refined simple carbs like corn syrup and white bread won't keep you satisfied for long. Keep these ideas in mind when selecting snacks and treats.
5. Reduce your calorie intake by too much, and you could stop losing weight as a result.
Cutting your calorie intake down to a low number might sound like the fastest way to drop pounds, but that's not necessarily true. When you consume too few calories, your body can go into "starvation mode," storing fat to conserve energy. In other words, your metabolism may get super slow, causing a stall in your weight loss. While there's some debate on this subject, most experts agree that dropping below 1,200 calories per day is never a good idea. Want to burn some extra calories without going overboard? Click here for some ideas...

Happy Mother's Day to all my MFP friends, even the ones whose children have four legs!
Alison, I'm in the same boat, it seems. My son and grandkids never even told me happy Mother's Day or ANYTHING. I even asked him about it, why he never acknowledges me on a Mother's Day, and he said, jeez, mom, it's nothing personal. (It sure feels personal. ) He said, I thought you would be gone today. Even then, when I told him how it hurt my feelings, he never said sorry, never said he loves me. Nothing. I felt like a big baby being bothered by it, but I cried off and on all the way to Kansas City. And we took them all out to dinner last night, too. He could have said it then. I wasn't asking for a gift or anything. Not even a card! And I feel like the kids are learning from him how to treat me, and I don't like it. I've been seeing Mother's Day stuff plastered all over Facebook and the internet, reminding me.
Enough of the pity party.
We are in a hotel near the airport, trying to go to bed early. Wake up call for 3am, shuttle at 4am, flight at 6am. My baby brother called me (and told me happy Mother's Day) and suggested I download google translate. Wow! That is going to be very helpful. I can use it on my phone when it's in airplane mode (thus offline), and it even pronounces things and lets me make my own phrase book. Very cool!
Good night everyone!

Several of my happiness commandments came in useful today since we spent a big piece of it with Jake's kids and their families.
*Act the way I want to feel.
*Don't take things personally.
*Don't expect praise or recognition
*Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.
Early to bed then early to rise then breakfast with stepson's first ex-wife then North along the California and Oregon coasts.

Hello lovely ladies. I hope you all had a happy mother's day.
Mine has been good. Drove in rain most of the way to Charleston, but was sunny and bright when we got here. Looking forward to the cruise tomorrow and hope for good weather. Haven't had time to read all but wish you all only the best.

Just checking in. I will comment on Toni hitting the garage door twice. I have backed into DH's truck twice backing out of my garage. Both times were on days when he was home when normally he would be gone, I was upset, and I just wasn't paying attention. Both times I hit him in the exact same spot and did $1200 worth of damage to his truck while not hurting my Toyota Camry at all. The end result is that he started parking far, far away from my backing out spot!
The first time my brother fixed the truck for what the insurance paid and did not charge me the deductible. The second time, he told me he couldn't afford to keep doing that so I had to pay $500 out of pocket. Stupid, stupid tax!
DH was nice about it both times, because I was so terribly upset. He does tease me about it now that time has passed. The insurance adjuster was super nice both times. One reason I stay with them.0 -
Thinking of you all today... mothers remembered, mothers forgotten and mothers at heart. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the people around you, and in the lives of those who gather here for friendship and support. You are spectacular!0

Hi Everyone,
Grandmallie Sorry your shoping trip was so difficult. Our destination was actually Wareham but he meandered all the way to Brewster and got to see the herring running at an old grist mill turned into a nature preserve. Never did find the flea market but had a really nice day. Welfleet is beautiful. I havn't walked the beach there in a long time. BTW no need to 2nd guess yourself re:what you did when mothering your children. Sounds like you demonstrated your love for them in a number of ways.
Lisa H I can really understand your Walmart experience. Our experiences as women are not one size fits all. I remember as a child we always had corsages for Mother's Day. White if your Mom had died. Red if she was living. The flowers were not dependent upon having children but aknowledged that one had a mother.
Congrats on the final proof. Making your Mom's bread recipe is a nice way to honor and remember her. Mine's been gone almost 3 years. She became ill on Mother's Day 2009. No wonder the day bothers me so much. Hmm just put that together while typing. Hmmm.
MNMargaret What a nice picture. Glad you shared it with us.
Annr You domenstrate a lot of flexibility and acceptance. - 2 good qualities I would do well to keep in mind.
Exermom With such an involved workout when do you find time to use the pool?
Pip The pic of your might be a rare one but it is a good one. Props to you for having a connection w/her.
The airstream looks great. I had a trailer at one time and loved it. Once I got the knack of driving it I was fine. I was driving it around in the 1980's. Took at trip from MA to NC and the manager of the trailer park asked me if I needed help getting it into the campsite. After I politely said no I noticed him and a couple of folks watching just to be sure I could. Hope you have a blast taking it on the road.
Sylvia Except for MFP and 1post on FB I stayed off of social media today-too emotional for me to view all the sentimental MDay posts. Wishing you a great trip. Dr. Google makes a great traveling companion.
Barbie I really like your happiness commandments.
Janithope the cruise exceeds expectations.

Called my mom today before heading out on a 2 hour hike with a friend & two teens. Sore lower back, now! Completely forgot about new eating habits out at friends after when bowls of tortilla chips and Miss Vickie's potato chips were put out, and I don't know how much I ate but it wasn't a little. Sigh. Later they offered nanaimo bar, and then I remembered, and said no.
Still confused about the interactions between MFP and FitBit... I logged the hiking-hills-with-pack on MFP, but because I was wearing FitBit it was still counting steps (tho not elevation).
