    DS and I brought the sailboat up the Columbia River today from Astoria to our place on the river. We had a glorious motor sail all the way into the boat slip. We travelled upstream on a rising tide and were thrilled at how fast we got here. It took us about 9 hours to travel from the dock in Astoria to our dock. We had an upriver wind and an incoming tide to help us. I'm very happy with the ride. :star::bigsmile: :star:

    Katla - It just sounds like a story book to me. I think I must have the most boring life ever. I so enjoy reading about everyone's adventures. So glad that all went well and you have such an enjoyable trip.

    Barbie - are you doing the push ups instead of the bench press? You could lie on the floor on your back with your knees up and use Dumbbells. Just watch the bench press video and using correct form hold db like a bar and push straight up then down to chest, making sure to touch chest. All exercises can be done with Dumbbells. I will let you know how my DSIL does next week.

    Sharon, so no time off ever while you are using Remicade. How often does he do a colonoscopy. They talked about a clinical trial which would have been free and the colonoscopy would have been every month! But the trial was full. It would sure be nice if they would just insert or port and let me infuse it at home. Durable medical equipment would have to let me rent a pump. But I would do it in a heart beat.

    Lisa, what a relief to know that you are getting some competent employees now.

    Miriam, my van is a 2002. I guess when we get a new car somewhere in the future it will have all those nice features. When my last cat suddenly died of course we were devastated. Now Adora was not a people cat, just a cat for us. She would not tolerate anyone else in the house. My husband would have liked to replace her with a dog when we were emotionally ready to get another animal. Our daughter was fostering dogs at the time and they were having thier semiannual big event and so we went there mainly to support her while she was there trying ot find a forever home for her dog. besides that, it was always nice to go to those events. Who doesn't love seeing a cute kitten or puppy??? But then I saw Adora, beautiful Adora and I knew we just had to have her. I knew when the right time was there we would get another cat and that's what happened. We weren't looking for one but I guess she was just waiting for us.

    DJ, with a cold your husband should immediately check with a doctor. It isn't the norm but with COPD, a cold can turn into a fatal situation. You tell him that nurse Joyce will kick him in the butt with every ounce of strength she can muster if he doesn't call.

    Pip, I love your idea of a Food anonymous sponsor. I really don't think that Isabel is that pretty of a name, especially for you. It sounds so prim and proper and Victorian era. So sorry you haven't had the progress on your shoulder you were wanting. And you have wasted all this time using the brace and you could have had it taken care of a long time ago. I am glad he is having another surgeon do the surgery.

    DrKatie. being called Katiebug by a family member is so cute and loving. My nickname as a child was Doydie. Some people still use it. When I was little my parents called me Joycie. When my brothers were born and learning to talk they couldn't say it and called me Doydie and the name has just stuck. Now my sister's name is Norma and they called her Norpie so I think I got the better name. My sister's husband and I have a close relationship. I guess it's because he can be 'just a little bit gruff' but I see the slft side of him also and how much he cares for my sis. ot just emotionally but with all her illnesses how much he does physically. So he will call me Doydie a lot and I call him Jeff-y-poo. I am the only one he will allow to call him that. I am also the only one he will allow to kiss him on the top of his bald head. He says it si the only time he ever feels good about being so bald. But we did date for awhile!!!

    Mia, my Mother was never given a middle name. But with all the legal papers that get their panties in an uproar of you don't fill in that middle initial and can't accept that you legally don't have one, she started using her maiden name initial as her middle name initial. You know we have to keep the computers happy.

    Terri, remember you can't use cherries on a colonoscopy prep because they are red.

    Heather, what a beautiful to hike.

    Carol, I remember when I was working ( I retired in 1999 so I have no idea when this happened) I would get so hot that I would go to the employees bathroom, strip down naked and take a cold paper towel an use that wherever I could. It would also cause me to have diarrhea at times which would cause me to get dizzy. I was jsut glad that a colde blue was never called when I was naked!

    Beth, I like your thoughts about the crown. Allison should get one and wear it in front of Tom!

    Becca, vent away. There are many times I feel left out. Right now I am going through one of those times. Although I am very proud and respect my oldest daughter for giving up an type of phone that she can actually talk on, no cable TV, I really miss talking to her. Her husband is an extreme tech geek and knows how to fix up programs on old phones. She can send and receive texts but no calls. They have an emergency Tracfone in case Charlie has another heart attack or goes into the ER in the middle of the night. Their every day phone doesn't ring so they can't hear it at night. we fcebook each other and send face book messages. It just isn't enough sometimes. I want to hear her voice. I don't want to type a whole conversation, wait until she types something back, then type another sentence. As a Mom, I want to hear in her voice how she is because she will fake feeling good a lot in her texting but a Mom can know from a voice what is going on. With all that is going on this week, I just really needed to talk. I have always been able to talk to her and she sets me on the right path. She wanted to be a psychiatrist and wold have made a really good one. She really knows the art of listening. So I texted her tonight that I feel disconnected to her. She said that made her feel sad that I felt that way and what can she do. So I am going to call her at work during her lunch hour. i know she doesn't like to do that but is sacrificing it for me.

    Barbie, you Jake sounds like my Charlie. he asks himself questions all the time but he is actually talking and i can't tell if he is asking himself or me.

    Lillian, my rescue cat Melody is a tortie. I ahd never heard their 'conversation' before. But it is quite unique. She will 'talk' to Charlie for a long time. I love to watch them. I am the lap she wants, he is the person she wants when it is time for a belly rub. Isn't anytime the time for a belly rub for a cat, but she sleeps in my bed. she does go and visit Charlie inhis bedroom at times but I think it is because she loves to visit people in the bathroom. And after how adora hated people other than Charlie and I, it is such a joy to have a cat that is a people person.

    Michele, I used to love Three Muskateers, especially if they were frozen. But I love to have that chocolate and caramel combination. Now I love Rolos but I can't just eat a couple of those pieces and leave the rest. and you can buy small bags of mini Rolos but then what do you do with the rest of the bag after eating a couple to 'satisfy' your longing for them. Right now I just can't do that.

    Lenora, what a horrible crash. So glad you recovered from it so you can be part of our family.

    Melinda, big hugs to you tonight

    dim4mom, you posted fine and now you are part of our family!

    Katla, I am confused. I thought a sail boat was using the sail to propel yourself through the water. but you use a combination of sail and motor????

    Thanks all for helping me through my emotional breakdown yesterday. Charlie was asking me today what I thought our max cost on doing the painting and landscaping was going to be and what I was wanted as a cap for that. I said several years ago when we were younger and in better health I would have said $5,000. But right now I just want it done and I really don't care how much it takes. The real nice guy we met at Lowes the other night came out today and looked at the mess to make an estimate on painting, landscaping, a small rail for the front porch, and even our deck. as in many businesses the more projects, the more they will bundle it. So he will get back with us. And I still haven't heard back from a guy who came out a week ago. I need to call him on that.

    We got a coupon in the mail the other day for $20 off a $40 puchase at Bone fish grill. We had been there once before a long time ago and wasn't impressed and thought it was way over priced. But this was a nice coupon. So we went. I had done my home work and already knew what I was having. It made my protein count high but OK in all other categories. I got a pork chop and it came with some sort of cheese which I had left off, zucchini and steamed broccoli. They left the butter off the broccoli and the parmesan off the zucchini. The pork chop was in some sort of red wine marsala sauce. Most of this stuff I had never eaten. And I had never ever had a pork chop like that one tonight. Enjoyed the meal a lot. Since mine was $16.50 and just had water, Charlie had to make up the difference and order a more expensive meal. So he got a BIG rib eye and scalloped potatoes which he said all was very good. The bread came with olive oil and pesto. Will we go there again? No, we just don't pay that kind of money for food and am not used to the more fancy atmosphere. Give me a rowdy Texas Roadhouse and a Denny's any day!

    Love you all. do your husbands get tired of hearing you talk about this forum like mine does??? Joyce, Indiana

    Linda/IA - Beautiful smiles, beautiful family. You look so young. Were you a child bride?

    drkatiebug - Katiebug from here on out. It's a great nickname. My Dad's nickname for me was Sunshine. My Grampa called me Magpie or Sherring.
    I'm sure you guys will be looking "cute" for the photo. Can't wait to see it.

    Terri - Heart should be a good show. Congratulations on your luck.
    I would love to see a photo of your henna. DD has henna in her repertoire. She does it for quite a few brides. She has also done it for some troubled teens, apparently it is quite calming.

    Tracie - Small changes are the way to go. Please keep us posted as to what the change of the week is.

    Miriam - No one should have to endure violence especially at the hands of someone who should be looking out for them. I am so sorry that you experienced this. It sounds like you took pain and turned it into strength.

    Pip - I am so glad that you are getting your shoulder taken care of.

    Katla - The boat ride seems an excellent way to spend your day.

    Joyce - About my brother. This is the first time they have ever been able to complete a colonoscopy.
    I don't think he has another for a year. He has to have the infusion at a clinic or insurance won't cover and Remicade is insanely expensive. No one in my Dad's family had a middle name.

    Since you've all been talking about names and nicknames here goes;
    Born Sharon Madeline Kast , 1st husband's last name is Gounden, DH's last name is Halter.
    Nicknames growing up were Sunshine (from Dad), Magpie (from Gramps), Sparrow, and for some unknown reason Chuck. I have my Mom's middle name, her first name was Zona. Dad's name was Clarence but only my Granny called him that. He was Con to everyone else.

    Today was a long haul at work. Discovering more and more things that the boy Wonder doesn't know and didn't do. Guess who has to make it all work while he is on vacation? OMG, I miss my friend as does the staff.

    DD has taken on a big project of window painting for the EX. I know she and her painting partner will do an excellent job. She will criticize her work as always but she has learned not to let her perfection stop her for doing the job. She is also having a booth for face painting at Whoop Up Days. I see a lot of time with the DGC next week.

    just looked at the clock. I should have been in lullaby land hours ago.

    till we meet again.

    morning ladies~
    off to the gym,just had a cup of tea...
    Joyce~ you and Charlie are like Tom and I, we don't go to expensive restaurants either. I cut out coupons for restaurants and we usually dont spend over 20-25 dollars when we do.. I drink unsweetened ice tea with lemon when we go out and put just a touch of liquid stevia in it, and Tom gets that also, we dont drink soda anymore

    Y'all are simply the best, and I don't say it often enough. This is genuinely a haven for me, and considering hothouse, small-town life, the one place where I could say the things I needed to say without having to worry about who's listening or who's talking. It's been a blessing of no small proportions, and I thank each and every one of you.

    One more week and we're off, and while I may worry about the restaurant some, I'm getting better and better about not worrying about what I can't change... changing what I can, and moving forward. "The wisdom to know the difference," between the two sometimes involves beating my head up bloody against unmovable walls... but I eventually figure it out.

    Love all of y'all... off to the races! Supposedly off the weekend, hopefully no major disasters. Fingers crossed...

    Does anyone know where Kim has got to? Missing her. :'(

    The fitters came and laid the vinyl. Looking good. Just got to sweep a few bits up and put my cupboards back in.

    Then I tried to type up my memoir, but I spent more time battling with my ÷×##@+ laptop than I did typing. Grrrrrr! :sad:
    DH has just ordered a new one on line so I want to see how he gets on with that and Windows 10 before I do the same. I would also have to transfer my Word 2013. I am not very techy so it's all daunting. :ohwell:

    Lisa - glad to hear your perspective is coming back. :flowerforyou: It's only a job. Your own writing is MUCH more important. <3

    Salmon tonight with our own runner beans - our first of the season. :bigsmile:

    Lots of love, Heather UK

    I am still experimenting and trying to create a plan that I can stick to. With 15 pound dumbbells my heaviest and no weight bench , I thought about pushups as an alternative, but if I get the heavier dumbbells I may just do the bench press on the floor with more weight and not do push-ups.

    I am not sure how to join a post I loved reading these posts and I think joining would motivate me. I am 57 and live in Michigan. I started mfp in February and have done ok for the most part. I was down 17 pounds but had a vacation where I completely messed up and gained 5 pounds in a week so i am starting again this week. It was a great vacation though with my two young adult daughters and I made them beautiful meals every night. I work long stressful days and sometimes i am just so tired that I ignore what I know I should be doing because it is just so hard. Here are my goals,kind of easy goals at first.
    1 Walk 10000 steps twice a week Not easy for me!!!! 2. Log it all
    3. Do something fun for one hour ada. 4 add a new goal every week

    You joined just by posting....come back every day and read the posts and respond to something or share about yourself or ask a question....in a very short time you will feel like you've known us forever.

    lillymay - YEAYYY FOR YOUR LOSS!!!

    Well kids - came home from the boner doctor as i call him and it looks like surgery after all. they took another X-ray and remember my list of questions? i didn't get to start on them before he started talking.
    he said that it looked like it was poking up more than it was before.
    also thinks that just pins and screws would be enough.
    he now realizes that i am more active than the standard office worker that he wants to refer me to his colleague to do reconstructive surgery. he will be able to see how it can be done in the least invasive way with the least down time.
    he said they could probably get it done b4 the end of the month, i told him i can't because i got the bike ride to do.
    i asked if i can do this AFTER the bike ride and before november (so i can be fully covered while my deductible is pd for)

    a lot of questions will have to wait until i see the new guy (the assistants all said this guy is GOOD, (which makes me feel good knowing that). i also asked if it will be covered by ins. he said it should be cuz they will ask for approval

    Thank you Pip - I would love to lose 4 pounds - but it was Joyce in Indiana that lost 4 pounds.

    Still figuring out how to find this women over 50 thread on a daily basis.Any suggestions? I haven't lost anything these past two weeks, but find myself gaining and losing the same 3 lb range. I'd lost 27-30 this summer depending upon which day I weigh myself. Anyone else see this plateau trend? I'm going to be more meticulous about eating well. I feel so much better swimming and doing water aerobics 4-5 times a week.

    Lillian- I know your struggles with your sistera first hand. I have an older sister and a younger sister and I can count the times on one had when all three have us have been getting along. Both as children and as adults. My only advice would be be true to who you are and love them both with all you have.

    Sorry PJ - I think you mixed me up with someone else. I haven't discussed my "lovely" sister here....yet. :(

    Good morning ladies!!

    Hopefully today is the last day of the scorcher weather!! DGD is coming for a sleep over so I won't have much time to "talk" to you girls.

    About names.... I haven't had a lot of changes in my name. I have had my husbands last name "McGowan" for 30 years. Lillian is my mom's middle name, my maternal grandmothers middle name and my maternal great grandmothers middle name. My little granddaughter's middle name is Lily-Anne - named after both grandmothers. My dad (and several of his siblings) did not have a middle name, my mom discovered that when she applied for a birth certificate for him. From a my genealogy researcher experience - names are very important. Women are very hard to track because of so many name changes. When people immigrated to this country spelling of names was changed because people couldn't pronounce or spell.... my great grandfather was "BOURGET" (spelled a couple different ways) and when he came to Canada he changed it to BURGESS. I have his family tree researched back to 1600's when the family was in France and then Canada and then into the USA. My maiden name "GORY" comes from Hungary and on my grandfather's Naturalization papers it was spelled "GJORY" and at the bottom the "J" was crossed out and he had initialed it.

    Okie peeps.... I better get a move on. Only have an hour and half to get thru the shower and have breakfast and get to town and pick up DGD... then off to get my mom and deliver her to respite care for the weekend and get to a haircut at 1:30 p.m.......Good Grief!!! I sure do pack it all in a day....

    Actually need to work today and cannot do more than skim and say:
    Heather--love the photo!
    Beth -- thank for the info-- anybody who can lose that much can do it again!
    Sister problems -- was much younger than my two (late baby as they used to call it) --one died early in the nineties and the other just sends a card at Christmas to maybe show she is still alive? Tried to email a photo this year and got the really short reply. No fight or disagreement, just pretty much silence ever since she married husband No. 3. Some things are not meant to be it seems...
    Welcome to the new ladies!

    Well, I am between the 2 week weigh-in; but, I went to my MD yesterday to have 4 stitches taken out of my arm and also to see why, after hacking for 3 weeks, the cough had turned into what seemed like a 'cat hacking up a hairball' only with nothing coming up. He put me on another steroid for 5 days and then I have to go back to see him. Told me that I had some 'old' scar tissue in lungs; but, it hasn't seemed to change in the past couple of years. He is going to have the Radiologist look at it. Having some pain just to the left of my left breast over the rib that I cracked a year ago (same seizure). He said he might put me on an inhaler. ????? If his scales are consistent with the scales I get weighed on every other Tuesday ... looks like I have lost down to 177lb which is 22lbs since I started, with only one week gaining one (after a long weekend vacation). I'll really have to watch what I eat when we go to Louisiana for sure. Hope my laptop is back by then. The keys were sticking and since it was only 5 weeks old, I returned it for service or replacement. Some of my shorts are hanging from the top of my pelvic bone. That makes me very happy! Several inches and now it seems like I am finally losing my belly. I think it is all the pool exercise that I do. I hate to admit that the treadmill will have to become my 'friend' for during the time that the pool water will be too cool to get in.

    Good morning! Just got back from walking with my friend, then having breakfast with hubby. I thought I'd chime in before I shower and get on with my day.

    Yesterday I spent all day trying to make a tri-fold brochure for my potters group and was really, really struggling with it. First, I've never done one before, so figuring out where the folds go was a pain in the butt. I tried using a template, but couldn't figure out how to use a template either, and none of the templates really looked like they fit our purpose. Secondly, only two people out of 30 sent me any kind of photos to use for the thing. So I was searching my hard drive looking for older photos I could use. I spent hours just looking at photos! And thirdly, I can't decide what to write in the brochure, or whether to list the members names or not. We need this for a promotional opportunity next week, so I have to finish it today. Another lady with access to a color laser printer is going to print off what we need for next week, then we will have more printed somewhere else after that. I don't know what makes these people think I can do this, but I've somehow become the one who does all the postcards and posters for the group. When the idea of a brochure came up I suggested putting together a committee but couldn't get anybody to volunteer.

    Last night I attended a small workshop on making and using decals to decorate pots. That was great fun, and I got to spend some time with several of my pottery friends. But just before I left for the workshop I got a frantic email from one of my drafting clients who desperately needed a revision by this morning, so after the workshop I went up to the studio and did that. Didn't get home till 11:30, and got up at 6 to go walk with my friend. So, I'm tired already.

    Gotta get busy. Take care, and have a great day!

    Sylvia

    Ps: pip, I'm so glad you are going to get your shoulder fixed! I've been worried about you.

    Terri in Milwaukee and NCCarol – I was lucky with my menopause symptoms and got through it without too much trouble so I don’t have firsthand knowledge of the efficacy of any remedies. However, I have at least 3 friends who swear by sweet potatoes. They all claim that ½ of a baked sweet potato every day reduced their hot flashes tremendously. I seem to recall that it took about 3 days before they noticed a difference. Not sure of the reason behind it, but thought I would toss it out there in case you wanted to try it.

    Terri love the henna tattoo.

    Made zucchini pancake for breakfast using ground oatmeal for my flour. It was more doughy than a regular pancake. It was delicious. Thought about making muffins but too hot today. We have an overload of zucchini at the moment. I am trying to think of creative ways to use it.

    I had another doily framed. I wanted to have the same frame as the other one and I was afraid they might discontinue it before I got to I got to it. I am happier with this one than the last one and I50a170tnpuc5.jpg

    Happy Friday ! ! !

    Jane – baby steps. This is a marathon not a sprint. You Can Do It ! ! !

    Becca – Hugs for you and your sisters.

    Miriam – Hugs for your past, and current strength. So proud of you!

    Carol – Hugs. Keep doing what you can, and what it takes to take care of yourself.

    Pip – Hugs! I am confident that this doctor will do right by you !

    Lillian – Way to Go setting the timer and getting your exercise !

    Melinda – Sorry about the loss of your sisters. I’m glad you can have nice relationships with your living siblings.

    Joyce – Nice food choices at Bonefish Grill. Yes, my DH sometimes rolls his eyes, because I talk about all of you like we have been lifelong friends. But since you all keep me happy, he is okay with it.

    Sharon – I hope the picture posted, I sent it from my phone. It is on the inside of my right forearm. DH tried scratching it off again last night. He makes me laugh.

    Moria (and everybody new who may need the help) – At the top of the thread there is an empty grey star. When you click on it the star will turn yellow. Then when you search under “community” and click the top star you can choose this thread. If someone already typed this, or typed it better, listen to them.

    Lillian – so funny that so many people were plunking things onto you. You must be REALLY loved here.

    For Restaurant coupons : Has everyone tried Groupon or LivingSocial or Restaurant.com ? We use all of them from time to time (when we have time to prepare). We also use them to try places we have never been. If it is fancy, it will be just my Dad and me. Casual for DS and DH. Buffet, Chinese, or Italian for DD.

    Today is DS's 15th Birthday. I guess he and 3 friends are spending the day at Wisc. State Fair, then spending the night at someone's house. A little sad when they want to spread their wings, but good for him, too.

    Last night after work I decided that i was so hungry I needed 4 slices of pizza, so after warming them, I sat down and only wanted 2. Yay NSV. However, couldn't sleep last night (too much knee pain to get comfortable), so now I'm terribly hungry today, so I only brought enough food to satisfy my lifestyle. Used the handbike before work because of the darned knee, but that's exercise, and good for my upper body.

    Lunch time soon, and really just want to nap.

    Hugs for Everyone ! !

    Joyce, my car is older than yours. It is a 98 Honda civic that I inherited from my aunt.

    Thanks for all the support! I have gone through life without a lot of support and it is wonderful to get it here!
