Joan- thanks! I feel the same way. On this thread it seems like we have been friends forever.
Mary from Minnesota0 -
Did an hour of Pilates Intermediate today. I can tell this really doesn't burn very many calories. The plan for tomorrow is to do one more segment on the abs DVD I have, hold my plank, then take the extremepump class.
Made more of the chocolate bran muffins. Think I'll probably put a few in the refrig. I tell ya, this no-microwave stuff is getting old
Aliza - there are ladies who just joined a few days ago! Come on in!!!!! A one pound gain can be something as simple as you retaining water. As long as it isn't one pound today, one pound tomorrow and so on, I think you'll be fine.
Joyce - how nice of Michelle to make that meal for you. Wish she could be there more to help you
Kim - I'm really torn about inviting them for Christmas Eve dinner. With Andy's heroin past, when they've been here before we've avoided taking them into the detached garage. All of Vince's music equipment is there along with his trains. Now with andy's medical problems, he might very well be having financial problems. I just don't know. I don't think they've ever been downstairs where Vince has his CD collection and all the NASCAR things. But then there is the part of me that wants to make them feel "at home", but the other side of me wants to support my husband. I'm going to run it by Jess first. Another thing, from talking to Amanda she's still looking for a job. To my knowledge Andy doesn't have a job (I honestly question who would hire him with all his medical issues), how are they paying rent? Terrible as this may sound, it would be so easy to just steal something, pawn it, and use that money for rent. I know, I know, that's terrible. But the thought crosses my mind and I know that that's on Vince's mind, too.
Matties - welcome, come back often for lots of great advice.
Penny - thank you for taking the time to tell us all about the mutton cabbage stew party. What interesting reading!
CynthiaT - congrats on passing!
Lisa - what a big heart you have taking in those cats. You won't regret it for a minute. How adorable they are!
Miriam - hope she's better fast
Sylvia - so glad to hear that Bruno is doing better
DJ - I've always heard that "guests, like fish, start to smell after 3 days". Now my inlaws would stay for a week, but I do admit that by the end of the week they were ready to go home. I don't think I've ever seen cinnamon chips in the stores. Count me in on wanting to meet Heather in person (she can even cook for us!!!) So sorry you're allergic to cats. You know something, a friend of ours is allergic to cats yet when she comes to our house she doesn't have any problem. Don't ask me to explain that one.
I'm glad that I did pilates today. I can tell that my muscles needed to relax, my chest muscle is somewhat tight, so are my triceps, and the muscle at the top of the thigh right where it meets the torso is tight. I just needed a day of low intensity.
MNMargaret - so sorry about your aunt. Boy, you've been busy with celebrations, too
Vince's back has been hurting him all day. This morning when I finished exercising, he was at his computer. Strange, since he's the one who likes to sleep. Said that his back was hurting. This afternoon we were supposed to go to this film showing of a Newcomer's son who has CP. He didn't go but I did. It's amazing the transformation after he got hooked up with this choreographer. He's no longer awkward. As a matter of fact, I saw him in the hallway (didn't know it was him) and there was no way I could have told you he had any kind of disability. It's truly amazing, he's so much more aware of his body now. Anyway, Vince just said that he doesn't think he'll be going to bowling tomorrow and he hopes he'll be able to go to his cardiologist appt at 3:30. I'll probably bowl.
blanky - I totally agree with Penny. It's so sweet of you to want to help your mother, but nothing will happen until SHE wants it to happen. Let her know that you'll be there and will help her when she asks for it. Yes, have her come in here. Even if she isn't losing right now, she might get the motivation to do it.
katla - I had no idea you can drive with just one eye! I like lamb, too, only it's soo expensive! How great that your teacher trusted you so very much.
pip - looks so much better than before! Glad Kirby is learning how to do a ponytail. Hey, he might have another career as a hairstylist....lol
CynthiaT - so glad you had such a good time at the concert
Vince just told me that Jess called while I was at the film showing but he didn't tell her about his back. If he had, knowing her, she'd be here tomorrow.
Becca - you remind me of that show where the neighbor was always behind the fence. The name of the show escapes me right now.
Joyce in SD - so glad you came out from behind the curtain. Post whenever you can, no set time limit. Tell us more about this MED you're going for
Manry from MN - "sling bling"...cute
Traci in WI - great you got good news. Share?
terri in Milwaukee - congrats to your son
MNMargaret - prayers for your brother
Joan in Alabama - Jess says that her cat is better than her alarm clock. You can't hit a "snooze" button with the cat right in your face.
Michele in NC0 -

Michele- my niece is very allergic to cats but she takes Benadryl before she visits my DD's since she has 2 cats and it helps for an overnight visit. My DH takes Claritin D before going for a visit to keep symptoms at bay.Here is what I made last week. Today I switched to yellow.
Mia
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Spent afternoon with uncle and cousins. My aunt will be missed.
Prayers tomorrow for my DB as he goes in for cancer surgery at around 7:30 a.m. Central Standard time. With everything else going on I don't know if I mentioned this or not. I told the staff at my mom's nursing home I don't feel like a sandwich more like a pancake. Barbie's advice of staying in the moment is helping me see my way through this time. I also find something to be joyful everyday. Today I sat and petted my cousin's dog for a half and hour. Bliss. Now if I can find that choir that ignites my joy of singing that also would help and all the more reason to leave the other choir director behind.
MNMargaret
Absolutely will add your DB to my prayers. Being a cancer survivor and having undergone many surgeries related to it, I know all too well the anxiety involved. Sending you (((hugs))). ❤️0 -
Mia, those are lovely!0

It seems this is where the action is for us older gals. I have started back, today on fitness pal after being off for awhile. I am losing weight for my health. I am married, from northern California, 61 1/2 years old, 5'4 and 166 lbs. I'm small boned and have never been so heavy. I'm okay, if I don't look like I did when I was 20, or 30, or even 40. I don't expect to. I just want to be healthy and whatever exterior benefits come from being healthier, then I'm for it.
MY body aches all over and I have a bad back - (L3 and L4) and sciatica. I have high cholesterol -(genetic) and I am a tad below normal on my kidney blood tests this past week. I'm not diabetic, my liver is fine, and my blood pressure is in the low/normal range all the time. 118/60.
My sister died Sept 8 at age 56. I just want to live a long healthy life. It's possible. My aunt is 96 years young and still climbs ladders! (Although the nurses yelled at her) LOL.
Well that's it. Just thought I would be bold and chime in....have a nice evening.0 -

Miriam: We're just a small mom & pop rental place - 2 buildings consisting of 17 apartments. We live in the 18th one but it is quite large. I know there are a lot of federal/state requirements for low income units, but since our apartments aren't low income, I'm sorry, but I don't know much about the details relating to that. I think the best advice I can give is to find your state or regional Fair Housing organization and see if they offer any training sessions. Ours is in North Dakota and they offer annual 1 day training about 1 hour from where I live. It's been quite a few years since I've gone, so I should probably go for a refresher. Managing a small unit can be challenging as you need to know the same Laws & regs as the big guys, but you may not have as many resources to staff informed. Sorry I can’t be more help.
Michele in NC: Most of the coursework for my MED has been online. Because of my work obligations and the cost of online classes, I took them one at a time. So instead of getting done in 2 years like many do, I’m stretching it out over 5-6 years. About a year ago I experienced some burn out, and haven’t made much progress since then but have continued to carry the stress of missed deadlines and undone work. But if I don’t finished by May, my credits will start to expire and I’ll have to take additional courses. So, I need to finish my internship, a capstone project (which also serves as the written exam), and the oral exam. I hope to be done by the end of February, but NEED TO STOP PROCRASTINATING!! In April I was promoted to my current position because I was so close to completing, so not finishing is not an option. If it weren’t for the last minute I wouldn’t get anything done. :frown:
Prayers for all who can use them.

Pip: looks like it hurts, glad that's behind you!! Time for bed , thanks for the chats! Gayle Minneapolis0 -
Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Ladies,
Sylvia, glad Bruno seems better. How about you? I sure hope you are too.
MNMargaret, so sorry to hear about your Aunt. (((Hugs)))
Vicki, I’m happy that Lee is doing well. It has to be such a hard adjustment. I agree that it’s good that she is going to the grief class. Thanks for the prayers. We all need them. I do the same.
Meg, glad you had a good day. The pumpkin bread sounds yummy.
Katla, you know “WE” nearly all overeat at the holidays, or at least used to. You are right, too, that we should all avoid driving when visibility is bad for whatever reason. Today a good friend was telling me about going out last night and her windows kept fogging up so she couldn’t see. I really worry about her driving at night any time. What a wonderful day at your riding lesson!!! I know you had to enjoy that. Woo Hoo
Pip, you are lookin’ good! How are you feeling? Nice décor on the sling.
IrishTerri, how nice your visit sounds with your DD and DGS1. How far is her house from yours?
Heather, so glad you are having nice weather.
SDJoyce, welcome. We don’t mind that you lurked a bit to start with. As you have seen, this is a great place for support. Please do come often and post whenever you feel like it. Glad to have you.
Karen NY, it sounds like a great day, not to mention healthy. Keep up the good work.
Tracie, so glad you got good news at the doctor! You have the right attitude on the review. Grin and bear it and move on. Glad you are where you should be now.
Miriam, glad it wasn’t strep but sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well. Get better soon.
MNMargaret, I’m glad you got some down time petting the dog today. Will send up prayers for your DB. I know it wasn’t an easy day for you. ((((Hugs))))
Michele, no matter why you have doubts about having Andy as a house guests, if you and Vince both are uncomfortable about it, then I say don’t invite them to stay. That sounds like neither of you would be comfortable in your own home. That’s just MHO.
Mia, pretty, pretty glass. How cool that you do that!!! Thanks for sharing.
Snavemom, welcome. You chimed in just right. We like to hear about you to help us get to know you. Now we just ask that you sign each post with the name you want us to call you. Come often and join right in.
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
As predicted it is very cloudy tonight but we were still able to see the moon. It was about 7/8 into the eclipse. Pretty cool.
Sending the best thoughts to all of you and I hope all of you have a healthy and happy day.
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
DJ

I've been struggling the last few days with wanting to eat non-stop, think its just kinda stress, been a rough weekend. Tomorrow I will go get a mani/pedi, got my hair cut Friday, want to have everything in order cuz it will be hard to go do much sitting for a few weeks after surgery. I've got the laundry and house taken care of, grocery shopping done and got some really easy things for Jack to do that I'll eat (don't want beanie weenies every night) lol. Luckily by the time I get home from the hospital on Friday, it won't be but a few days before I'll be able to take the kitchen back.
Hugs to all,
Janetr OKC0 -
Well from one Joyce to another, hello and welcome! There was another Joyce that was here for a little bit but she hasn't been seen in many a moon.
Lisa, I want those kitties!!!!!!! Kittens, puppies, baby polar bears, baby elephants, anything baby are so cute when they are young. Then they have to grow up!!!! My hair dresser has a Golden Doodle and she was so precious when she was a little puppy. She is still a puppy now but an entire lap full.
I think it ws Sylvia that posted the video. Hilarious!!!! That poor bird on the end. It looked like our children probably do when we decide to dance a jog and they just want to hide under a bed! Well maybe not so much now but when they were teenagers maybe. I loved it when the one just put that leg up and said GO AWAY!
Got my phone today. Got a Galaxy S 5 I know I don't need that much phone but I loved the camera and other features and the cheaper ones I didn't like. Michelle got the same one as I just in white where mine is black. We will personalize them more with whatever cover we buy. A brand new store opened up this weekend called 5 Below where every thing is $5 and we got several covers and our protective cover for the front. So I have been busy putting in all my passwords, etc in and discovering some new things I didn't have memory to have for my othr phone. Charlie didn't like it when I told him what I will be paying but when we broke down what I had to pay for my no contract phone and my monthly fee, it is pretty well exactly the same. my son in law who is the techy and Apple addict said that he would have liked for me to get an iPhone but since I did not then the Samsung Galaxy is the next best thing. The S6 would have been about $10 more a month and I just couldn't justify that.
Charlie is about the same. Did eat at Hacienda tonight and he did OK. He loaded himself up on all his anti diarrhea an anti gas medicine before he left and it held him until we got home. He was going to get a burrito and white bean chili but decided on just a bowl of the chili instead and ate it all and enjoyed it. He used to be a huge salsa eater, scooper, but has no taste for it now. Blood pressure still up and down which bothers him. So that will be my report tomorrow when I make my report back to the doctors office. Charlie, even though he doesn't want to go back to the hospital, is willing to go back to find out why his blood pressure is like this and see why he isn't eating. He won't accept my answer that the eating is due to the meningitis and he is just going to have to wait. Oh, he did shave! First time in about 20 days.
Joyce, Indiana0 -
There are a couple of things I want to share while I'm thinking of it. My 10 yr old still wets the bed therefore I have to buy adult pull-ups for him. He sleeps so soundly that I can not wake him up at night. I know eventually he will outgrow it but in the meantime it's expensive. The generic pull-ups are just not thick enough so I have to buy Depends. I just found out that the pull-ups may be covered by his insurance as a friend of mine just told me about someone she knows who also has a bed-wetter and gets the pull-ups through insurance. I knew that adults could get them through insurance but did not know about children being eligible. I wanted to share this in case any of you have someone in the family or know someone who does that needs to use pull-ups/adult diapers.
The other thing has to do with pillows. I used a sobakawa pillow for years and will be ordering a new one again. If you are not familiar with these they are filled with buckwheat hulls. They take a little getting used because they don't feel like down or synthetic fill but they are cool to the touch and you can shape it how you want making them good for back, side or stomach sleepers. I got my first one when I was going through menopause and was having night sweats. I loved it so much I took it everywhere and also left it at a motel one time. They were nice enough to send it to me also. I recently needed to replace my 4th one and thought maybe I would try one of the gel pillows. After having sweated through summer on the new pillow I am going back to my sobakawa. Originally they only came in a very small size that the Japanese use. Now you can get them in regular pillow sizes. I personally like the standard size. They can't be washed so every so often you want to put it outside in the sunshine to refresh it. This time I'm getting one with lavender fragrance or will use a handkerchief with lavender oil in the pillow.
Back later to respond to peoples' posts ~

Gloria in beautiful fall weather WA0 -
Hello,
This week has just flown by. So enjoy reading everyone 's posts. I am so happy I have started My fitness pal back up. Keeping tabs of my food may not always be pretty but helps me be so aware of what. Feel like better decisions are being made. Doing better at portions still need to do better at less carbs and sodium. I need to get away from the process foods. Also working on getting better exercise in. The other day at work we have our clients do movement we pop a Dvd in they are using "Biggest Loser" I thought why am I just sitting here watching them get up off your seat and move.. they laugh at me but it was ok. It encourage Them to try and it help me.
After being unemployed for over 2 years my husband has finally got a job. He has been training for past 6 weeks tomorrow is his first regular day at his new job new shift. His training hours were from 3-1130pm. His job hours mirrors almost mine. So we are going to start carpooling together now. Hopefully that will be good. I am happy for him I know how hard this experience has been for him.
I hope to now to be able to afford more fresh and whole foods for my family. This is long
enjoying beautiful weather here in Idaho love being outside as much as we can. Enjoy your week everyone!0 -
Thank you for the welcomes. Let me know if I mess this up. I am not familiar with the letter designations being used to describe others in your lives, DD DBIL, can someone give me a quick insight? Mary I would love to see your pictures, it will help me put a person to the story. I suspect she was having a bad day, or like me she is jealous of your ability to post a picture! TerriRichardson nice pictures of all of you. Again, gave me a person for the story. My daughter went to Canada many years ago to marry and they did a recommitment here in WA when the laws changed. So much has changes since I was young!
All of you with health concerns or losses, I hope you sleep well tonight and have a good day tomorrow.
Cathy in the woods of NW Washington0 -
Hello. I am Beverly From Olympia Washington. I am 66 yrs young and working on weight loss to get healthy. I am single and no interest any more to take on anyone else's baggage if you know what I mean. I am retired and like to travel, although I have been dealing with some issues of weight and a bad ankle. I just got a brace for the ankle,(oh it's so lovely) And working on the weight so if I go to Zion National park I can walk around, or to the grand canyon I can see it. I want more to life than I have been giving myself all these years with an extra person hanging on my body.
I have shed 78# of it, now trying to finish the other 50. But, I think I can start doing a little traveling before then! BT
The eclipse tonight was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Sunnygirl for your picture of the moon. 0 -
So good to be back and talk with all of you.
Cynthia - Not sure the full blown juice fast is for me either. DDIL tried it and had amazing results.
I might go with the Dr. Oz Total 10.
Penny - thanks for sharing your photo. It certainly sounds like you had a lovely evening.
Alison - Try "Breaking the Vicious Cycle". Your friend, Dave, sounds like he was an interesting, inspirational man.
Lisa - Mouse and Squeak are such cuties.
Sylvia - I am glad to hear that Bruno is on the road to recovery.
D. J. - I think the length of stay depends on a lot of variables. How close are you? Do they work? How much entertaining do you need? I think 3-5 days is about right.
MN Margaret - I am sorry for your loss. Praying for your DB.
StillWaters - The Serenity Prayer was just what I needed.
Pip - It looks like the healing is coming along nicely. Good thing you are in such great shape.
Becca- Laughing at the though of you being the neighbourhood nudist. Poor unsuspecting woman. Lol or should I say haha.
Terri - Congratulations to your son.. Now you have something to look forward to next July.
Miriam - It must be such a relief to be the legal guardian of the girls. Life will be a little simpler.
Mia in MI - Gorgeous glass.
Rosie - Great Photo.
Today was busy - flowers, pruning , laundry, etc. We had supper at my daughter's. Delicious as always. We went out to the farm and watched the blood moon. DH broke out the big telescope that I bought him a few years back.
DGS went to his first horror show with friends. He said it was fun but the music was disappointing.
DGD gave us the biggest hugs. I missed that little monkey.
It's time for a tune up. DH has been bitching about pretty much everything today. I think he sets his goals for the day too high and then gets frustrated.
One more day before I have to go back to that place. Not looking forward to it.
Love and good night.

Good morning!
Want to get on with my book, but just coming in to answer a couple of questions.
Kim - lentils. Don't know how she got it so green. Did she put spinach in? I love the brown Puy type lentils for chorizo stews etc, and the green ones for some soups, salads etc. The orange I use for Indian food to make dhal or to add thickness to a curry. Moong ( same one as used for beansprouts ) dhal is fab cooked with duck. Yellow split I use sometimes for dhal, but don't buy it often. The black urid dhal is heavenly for Dhal Makhani, but, with the amount of cream and butter in it, it is a very rare treat. Basically I keep 3 types - red, green and puy. Love them all, but DH sometimes complains they make him windy. They do me too, but I don't care. I just sleep in the spare room! :laugh:
DJ - I think 2 nights is enough. Recently a good friend stayed 3 nights and afterwards said she felt she had overstayed her welcome! ! ! ! She was right, but I tried to reassure her.
We like to exercise every day and I don't like to go too long without writing, so a long stay doesn't suit us. I love having people for a short break. :bigsmile:
I'm with Barbie on staying with other people. One night is possible, two nights is a struggle unless they have very good guest accommodation. I am NOT a good sleeper and often am up in the night reading in the spare room. Also at home we have a super kingsize bed with two separate mattresses. I need lots of space! ! ! ! ! ! ! It is easier staying with people if I am on my own. Then I can read in the night and toss and turn as much as I like. I also go to the bathroom at least three times a night, so a convenient bathroom is a necessity.
So you can see why I much prefer to stay in a good hotel. On holiday we need two bedrooms and two bathrooms in any apartment or house.
Do I sound awkward? ? ? ? YES I am, but I am old enough to know what I want! :laugh:
Now on with my book!

Cathy -thanks! A lot of the people on here live in Washington. You might be able to get a chance to meet up with them. The ladies here in Minnesota have met a couple of Times now.
Sunnygirl - thanks for the picture! My DH and I were able to look at the moon but not able to get a good picture!
Liz - i'm glad to hear that your DH got a job! It is hard when you're not working.
Janetr- it sounds like you are all set for your surgery! I will be praying for you. Let us know how it goes!
Beverly- welcome to our group! You have come to an excellent place. You sound like you enjoy life.
Sharon- what a great way to enjoy the blood moon!
Heather-I am with you I enjoy a good hotel rather than Steen and other peoples homes. I also get up three or four times in the middle of the night. So nothing against someone else's home just my personal needs.
Gloworm- sobakawa pillow! I suppose I would have to order that online? Sounds like something that I might be interested in. My DGS also had bed wetting issues until he was 11 years old. I know that they had him on some type of medication.
My DH had to leave early to drive two hours to a meeting. So I caught up with everybody here. Now I am going to try to get another hour or so of sleep. Have a great morning everyone!
Mary from Minnesota0 -
Since so many of you showed an interest, here are some pictures of the rainbow-themed tables we dressed and the wedding cake. The original cake person cancelled 2 weeks before the ceremony, but everyone rallied round and we found someone else. I think she did a cracker job. The two figures are dressed in the same suits as the girls wore.
I spent ages commenting on your posts using the laptop this morning and then hit the wrong button and lost it all so this will be briefer than I intended.
I am knackered this morning as I was up in the middle of the night watching the Blood Moon Eclipse. I hauled my recliner over in front of the French windows and spent an awesome couple of hours watching it unfold through binoculars. Looks like a lot of people enjoyed the show.
Rosie I love the photo! Here is my contribution.
Blood Moon
Shadow bites the rim.
The pale, cool gleam begins to dim.
Moon Goddess hides her face
behind a veil of blood red lace
until the silver shoon
attains a hue of deep maroon.
The earth begins her run
between the moon and sun
while myriad stars appear,
strewn across a sky so clear,
as wonder sails the sky,
time slowly ticking by.

I jumped on the scales this morning and was amazed to find I had lost another pound. That makes 52 in total. only 10 more to go to my 2015 goal of 158. Wish me luck folks.
MNMargaret I will keep your DB in my thoughts tomorrow.
Welcome to all the Newbies. This is a great support group on so many levels.
(((Hugs))) to those of you suffering or grieving this morning. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Gloria Hogwarts is a Harry Potter themed Challenge. We all belong to different houses and there are daily and weekly challenges on food and exercise. I did one on Game of Thrones over the summer and it was excruciating enormous fun.
Katla I can relate to your situation as I have only very limited vision in one eye, although people wouldn't know to look at me. I have been that way since birth so it doesn't affect me, but I am super careful about protecting that one good eye.
Mia That glass is exquisite.
DJ We are a mere 40 minute drive from my elder daughter and grandchildren, and we visit them for a few hours every Sunday afternoon, or meet up with them in Belfast. My younger daughter lives 10 minutes away and drives past the house each day on her way to work, so she often pops in on the way past.
Ireland is quite small. We can get to most of it in five hours or less. The West Coast takes a little longer as they have preserved the 'charm' of the quaint old narrow roads along the coast.
