Heading to sunny Florida tomorrow!
While I was gone over the Thanksgiving holiday visiting my family my husband decided to "clean up" our extra computer in the den. And clean up he did!!!! Not remembering that HE LINKED THE COMPUTERS he got rid of ALL MY BOOKMARKS!!! And he upgraded the computer to Windows 10 after saying he wouldn't because it still had my Omron pedometer program on it that wouldn't run on Windows 10 because it is so old. GRRRRRRRR then he didn't understand why I was so upset. Long story short he was able to help me regain most all my bookmarks. And to make up for the fact that I could no longer download my pedometer information he bought me a FitBit Flex!!! I need visual information to keep me on the straight and narrow. Love the Flex and the graphs of information it provides for me on this journey.
Any FitBit Flex users here?
Have a good one.

Sending many prayers. She's been through so much she deserves good things.

I have a flex and love it, especially when I discovered I had accidently put it in the washing machine. If you would like to private message me we could link up for challenges. Heading to sunny Florida tomorrow!

Happy Wednesday ! ! !
Pip – doing your own hair is an incredible goal. I hope you get there soon (I know my co-workers were getting tired of doing my hair for me).
Carol – I knew I missed something important by skipping pages. Hugs and Prayers ! ! ! (Mary, thanks for getting me caught up on that situation).
Katla – Your racehorse story is SO uplifting. How majestic that you connected so dearly with that horse. It proves how special you are ! ! !
Sylvia – I think a winter pool party sounds refreshing, and something many kids don’t get to do during the winter months. Tell him Happy Birthday from me, as mine is Monday, Dec. 7.
Janetr - congrats on your “skinny legs” NSV ! ! !
Joyce – Hugs and Prayers for Charlie. Yay that one was almost formed, but I’m so sorry he is feeling so sad and defeated. I pray you both find peace and strength ! ! !
Mary – Hugs and Prayers for your DD’s job situation. I hope she finds (and gets) the right one promptly ! ! !
Michele – Hugs for your tummy ache ! ! !
Allison – more hugs ! Karma will come back and bite that troll, and I hope it happens soon. I almost feel sorry for her. How bad must her life be that she feels the need to torment others ?!?!?
Gloria – We love those funny video shows, too. It makes a person happy. We also like Impractical Jokers, and sometimes watch Ridiculousness (that borders on bad advice, but most things either I or DS have tried in our lifetime, so I just warn him when they do something very dangerous). I’m so glad you find time to laugh with your boys ! ! ! I hope they can keep that memory forever.
Chris in MA – Congrats ! ! ! Happy Dance For You ! ! ! ! !
Today I pick up my winning tickets for KodaChrome Christmas. I think I have to see it tomorrow, which means my Dad will go with me. It will be his first time in the Milwaukee Casino. If he plays some slots, I hope he chooses a lucky one. I will only play my "free birthday money" since I have so many more events coming up. Even free tickets doesn't mean free evening. Since I work until either 4:00 or 5:00pm most nights, I usually need to eat, then pay for parking (never less than $10 to park). But it's fun, so I'll keep doing it.
My funny story for today: DS is going on a field trip to the German neighborhood in Chicago today with his German 5 class. Yesterday the teacher said "it's supposed to be cold, so everyone is expected to wear presentable pants and a jacket for warmth." DS pipes up "I don't own pants, I only wear athletic shorts." Then his bestfriend joins in "It's true, the only pants he owns are baseball pants and bowling pants." So he told DH that he's wearing baseball pants today. Luckily DH is home this morning, so DS will be wearing bowling pants (plain black dress pants). Luckily, I won't know the results until around 5:30 tonight. I'm eager to see who wins this battle.
I have been holding pretty steady with my weight lately, which feels like a win since it was over the long Thanksgiving Holiday. 20 minutes on the bike this morning (hip getting better, pain pill working on the ankle), Yay ! ! ! Hope to get 10 minutes on the handbike. I feel like it helps with my posture.
Hugs to Everyone ! ! !

Shot given to me yesterday to break up the congestion in my chest; that has worked, now don't have to breathe through my nose. Started my steroids today. I'm sure they will keep it from getting worse, hopefully it does.
To the person who just found out they had shingles; both of my sons have had it and pretty bad cases of it. After they ran their course, each took the Shingles vaccine which is supposed to make any future outbreaks not so bad. DYS had to go out to his place while having them because DSGD had not had the chicken pox. You apparently can catch chicken pox from the shingles which otherwise shingles are not contagious or so I have been told. DYS had them inside his mouth, up the side of his face and neck and into his hair. He was glad that DDnL#2 had 'buzzed' his head before that. Sweat only makes them worse.
I don't know how to break 'Cracker' from pooping on the deck, especially when it is raining or sometimes when she goes out at night. I think she is afraid of the night. HA! Sometimes, at night, she will go outside; but, usually she has her BM in the AM. But, yesterday she spent most of the day in her crate.
Got to finish putting out my Christmas decorations today and clean up the boxes they are stored in. Have decided to give my sons all the decorations and us the macramé tree my mother made ... but, not giving them my manger scenes. They can divide them when I am 'gone from earth'. Won't give up their stockings which my Mother made when the grands were all young.
Thinking hard about whether or not to get on the treadmill; but, might do it for 5 minutes at a time. I don't think I need to get overheated; but, still want to get my exercise in the process.
Just ate collard greens for brunch. Oooooo, they were so good, too! With hot sauce on them. What are collards without hot sauce?
Got to give Cracker he pill this AM. Takes it twice a day. She's beginning to put a little weight down on her bummed foot - she'll do that 'on command'. I tell her to put it down and walk on it, she'll get better much quicker. I don't want her to limp or favor that foot; she loves to run too much for that to occur.0 -
Sylvia: When we visited DD in late March for DGD's birthday, we stayed at a hotel with a lovely pool. At that time there was a birthday party for teen girls. They swam in the pool and had breakfast in the hotel the following morning. They seemed to be having a fabulous time. There was snow on the ground outside in shady places. The chance to swim and play in a pool in winter is a lovely idea for a party UNLESS the pool isn't heated. :flowerforyou:
Janetr: Congratulations on a personal best day for steps and exercise! :flowerforyou:
Mary from MN: I was spoiled during our visit and loved it. I also made some very lovely new friends. :bigsmile: Sending good thoughts for your daughter's job search. :flowerforyou:
Joyce: The place where I went to visit the old race-horses is called Old Friends Equine. Here is their web address: www.oldfriendsequine.org/ As to Charlie's frustration when he needs help, I can easily see it from his side. A chunk of anyone's feelings of self worth revolves around the satisfaction of competence and self-sufficiency. DH has struggled with the effects of his health issues, too.
:flowerforyou:
Gloria in WA: I LOVE your new goals! :flowerforyou: I love the Fitness is 20% exercise and 80% nutrition message. :bigsmile:
Chris in MA: Congratulations on REACHING YOUR GOAL! :flowerforyou:
Terri: Holding your weight steady despite Thanksgiving is a major accomplishment! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:
I'm feeling pretty good about holding my own, weight wise, while visiting in KY. I'm up a tiny bit, but still in the margin of error zone below my goal. WAHOO! Yoga is today and I want to go. It has been long enough that I'm sure my flexibility has suffered.
Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison
December Goals :
1. Log every bite and swallow.
2. Cardio exercise at least 3 days a week. Work on flexibility and back strength.
3. Have fun every day.
4. Drink at least three glasses of water daily, preferably more!
5. Eliminate alcohol.
6. Monitor sleep. Try to average 7 or more hours of sleep nightly.

Gloria - thanks for the encouragement! I'm glad to hear that your daughters are doing so well. Very similar circumstances to my DD.
Chris - Congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment! I hope you have a great day!
Grits - it sounds like you have a lot to look forward to next Thanksgiving. The only way that you can break Cracker of going potty on the deck is to personally take her out and tell her where to go. It doesn't take too long and she will be going to the spot where you want her to.
Cheri- you have a wonderful husband! He fixed his screw ups, and bought you an even better tracker! My DH does not want to upgrade to windows 10 because he says it still has issues? Have you heard that?
Terri - I still say you need to buy us all lottery tickets! You're constantly winning tickets! Did I miss your birthday? Happy Birthday! Have fun at the casino.
CarolNC - still praying for you and your family.
Katla - Congratulations on staying with in your maintenance range! Have fun at yoga!
Thank you for all the good wishes for my DD getting employment. She was really sad yesterday. She called me up crying. Her mood changed when she found the ad for the position by her house. It would really be a perfect job for her. Please keep the prayers and good wishes coming for her. Time for me to do my exercises!

We have upgraded all 3 computers and have had no problems. Having said that I am not involved in the upgrading just the usage. Yes you have to get used to some different ways to get around but that is just a learning curve issue. My daughter has also upgraded with no problems.

Cheri, I use Fitbit Flex. It is waterproof so I wear it during water aerobics and love it. It definitely is a plus for me to know how many steps and how many calories burned. I paid more for it because it was waterproof ($200) but worth it for me.

Terri in Milwaukee - thanks sweetie for the encouragement. My legs really are NOT skinny tho, my hubby may exaggerate a little lol
Janetr0 -
DJ Myrtle Beach, SC – My pet mouse’s name was Pippen.
Rosie – So sorry to hear about the shingles. Having experienced my first case back in Sept. and my second case in Nov. I caution you to pay attention to that spot once it has cleared up because they do come back. If you catch it within 24 hours of seeing the first symptoms there are anti-viral meds that can clear it up fairly quickly.
Gloria in WA – Crossing my fingers that you get good news on the job front soon.
Michele in NC – I was 33 when I got married. Dad said he couldn’t pay for the whole wedding since he was nearing retirement and had to be in saving mode. Mike and I said “No Problem” and we paid for our wedding. Dad supplied all of the alcohol which was a big savings. We did the rest. Both our moms told us to do whatever we wanted and to ask for help when we needed it. Since I was travelling for work at the time I had my mom pick out my wedding cake. I tried on wedding dresses with both moms present but ended up having a dress made that neither one got to see before the wedding. The one who gave me headaches was Mike’s soon to be step-mother. She and Mike’s dad got married 3 months after Mike and I did so she wasn’t even his step-mother at that point. She kept trying to tell me what to do and I still growl 28 years later when I think of all that she tried to pull.
All three sets of parents (my parents, his mom, his dad) and grandma let us know how many people they wanted to invite. His mom was the only one we had to give a set number. The other 3 were quite reasonable in how many folks they wanted to invite.
At one point Mike’s mom didn’t want to have to pare down her guest list and she offered to pay the extra if we moved the venue and let her invite all of her family. Neither of us wanted a wedding with 400-500 people (her dad had 10 siblings and her mom had 11 and she wanted her aunts, uncles, cousins and cousin’s children to attend) so we turned her offer down. She was quite distraught on how she could explain to “Uncle Bob” that he was not invited to our wedding. Mike’s grandmother spoke up and said “Just tell him that I didn’t want him there. Never could stand half of our family anyway.” LOL. How I loved that woman. She was so feisty and unafraid to speak her mind.
Barbie – Thanks for keeping us on track and starting a new thread each month.
I am recycling my October/November goals one more time. I need to focus on just the basics right now. Log and measure food. Drink water. Move a little every day. I can do this.
Mia in MI
December goals:
Continue to honestly log food every day
Weigh and measure all food that I prepare at home
Get at least 15 min per day of aerobic exercise
64 oz. water (or what counts as water for my program) daily
Word for life - PERSEVERE

Way to go, Chris!!!
I was good yesterday and ate right and went to the gym -- lost one pound of the two I gained over Thanksgiving. Now on to lose that second one and hopefully the one after that so I can officially claim 20 lost this year...I want that so badly! I guess that is my goal for December. Also, still have to have one more blood test for that darn cholesterol this month -- my goal is for that to go down but I have done about all I can do...
Allison, there is no way that part-timers get treated fairly in this country...hugs!

Mia, I so enjoyed reading about your wedding!
When I got married my husband was stationed at Ft. Knox. He actually asked me to marry him over the phone. We got married about six weeks later after a whirlwind of planning. My dad was shocked that I planned to go live with him at Ft. Knox instead of finishing up my last two quarters of college. However, I was determined. We were dirt poor but so in love (LOL). I think some of this was due to him being afraid of the possibility of being sent to Nam. He luckily got to stay at Ft. Knox and trained incoming recruits. I did finally finish up college and began teaching.0 -

Mary - I will get a group lottery ticket tonight at the grocery store, but don't hold your breath, because I usually only win radio stuff.
The claims department at my work called back, and she is going to call the Collection Agency and tell them about the mistake. My mammogram bill is $40 not $400 (I needed an ultrasound last time). Hooray for getting that straight (and she told me that my DH has also been in contact with her, so he is trying, which is also huge) ! ! ! I'm so much more happy and relaxed now.

I feel like I got a steal deal on my Fitbit Flex at $59 at WalMart. Their on-line price for the black one which is sold out on-line so I went to the store and did a price match.
Still trying to figure out all the data available and getting used to wearing it on my wrist. All by previous pedometers were clipped at the waist or in my pocket. It has been interesting looking at my sleep record over the past 2 nights. I truly thought I wasn't getting any quality sleep but according to the Fitbit I am logging a solid 5+ with some restlessness and little to no awake fullness.
Cheri enjoying her new fitness toy in NE Ohio0 -
Mary from Minnesota - I think part of it is because she won't go out in the rain (for any reason) and we don't want her to go in the house; she did do anything on the deck for 3 or 4 days; then last night we let her out; but, the grass and dirt was still very wet. She knows she has done something that we aren't happy about because she'll run and get into her bed and hide. She's a pretty good little puppy and we are very happy to have her, especially me because she is so entertaining! My husband just says she is a stinky rotten Mama's puppy. She likes to stretch out in her bed and hand her head over the side of it. I think that is because she had to wear a cone on her neck when they spayed her. I'm hoping that she'll get the idea about not pooping on the deck. She's still young; and we do take her out where we want her to go. At night she just doesn't want to go outside where it is dark. She'll wander around and look out; but, no go to go out there on her own.0

Chris in MA - Congratulations!!!! Woo Hoo on hitting your goal
Mia in MI0 -
Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Afternoon Ladies,
Miriam, congrats on your final hearing. That’s a nice Christmas present.
Janetr, I agree that it seems like yesterday that we celebrated the arrival of 2000. Where did the last 15 year go??? Congrats on those legs looking good. Keep up the great work. My hubby says nice things like that too and isn't it nice!!!?
MicheleNC, for the wedding I feel that the bride and groom should make the decisions on where, what, etc but if you are paying for it you will have to give them a budget. Hopefully Denise will want your help and input on everything but if they want a big first class wedding then they should expect to help finance it. I am so frugal that I can’t believe what some people are willing to spend on weddings. I love a beautiful wedding with all the bells and whistles as much as the next guy but to spend what a house would cost on a one day event is just not realistic in my world. I hope it ends up being a pleasant occasion for everyone but for some reason I see problems ahead.
Mary, I think you can take a pass on not getting in 10,000 steps a day,. Since you are definitely burning calories in the work you are doing at the house. You do great with your exercise and are an inspiration to many of us.
Sylvia, that sounds so strange for someone to not have a car in America unless they live in NYC. I can’t imagine having to depend on someone else but I guess it’s all in what you get used to. A swimming party in December? I think that sounds great. At least a little different.
Terri, glad you are finally learning your job after 4 ½ years. Lol I hope the mammogram bill won’t affect your credit score. Many automatically report to the bureaus after two months past due. (Later) Glad that got worked out. Did they accidentally bill $400? That would be a bit much.
Katla, so glad you had a wonderful time at your son’s in-laws.
Joyce, how sad that Charlie can’t see the progress and even mentioned a gun to his head. And sad that he won’t allow any help when he needs it. Gosh, we all need help from time to time.
Mary, so sorry about your DD’s job. What a bummer after such a long time. I hope they are giving a nice severance package!
Allison, I’d rant too. So sorry they decided to change the pay structure after all this time. I’m hearing that this is happening a lot to part time people for some reason.
Chris, a Huge CONGRATS!!!!! I’d be so excited and am so happy for you. Keep up the good work.
Cheri, that’s cool to be able to see all your stats. I’d like to but not even willing to pay $59 at this point because I just don’t walk. I’ve bought a couple of different brand less expensive ones and neither of them worked. Maybe one of these days.
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.
Yesterday I went to line dancing and got there a touch late for the novice session. The instructor sells t-shirts from time to time, usually with something about dancing or the name of the group. Today she had Christmas t-shirts for sale for $5.00 each and very good quality. I got two. Now I have something to wear to the group party on Sunday afternoon. All mine from years gone by are just too big to wear in public. I finally finished decorating my tree and got my bows on the lights in the breakfast room and dining room. I think I’m finished. Oh yes and got down the Christmas glasses and cups. I don’t have Christmas dishes because I just don’t have room to keep them. Tonight is our Women of the Moose Christmas dinner. It is normally very nice so I’m looking forward to it. Unfortunately it’s at an Italian restaurant so not sure what I’ll eat. They don’t have a menu on line. I’ll just do the best I can. Sending hugs and best wishes to all you lovely ladies 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

Happy Wednesday. I was off yesterday and did get a lot done and a good start on my Christmas cards. So feeling good about that.
Sylvia--I hope all goes well with your new roomie at the studio.
Heather--Glad to hear you are ready for your trip and have heat. Sorry to hear about the phone mess, but happy you can send it back.
Barbie--Thanks for getting us going another month.
Joyce--Sorry to hear Charlie is having problems and not see the positive changes. Sounds like you cut your hand bad. hope it is healing.
Rosie--Sorry to hear you have the shingles, Hope you feel better soon.
Cheri--Proud of you for following thur and going to Thanksgiving. Hope you find things well at DMIL's when you go. I have a flex bit and love it. You can friend me.
Mary--So sorry to hear about your DD, that seems to be happening a lot. Years of service don't count for much anymore. Sending prayers something better opens up for her.
Chris MA--Congrates on reaching your goal. I just hope that doesn't mean you are going to leave us.
Well I did so so with goals for last month. I am down .3 for the month which is better then it could of been. So my goals for this month are
1. weigh less end of the month then at the first.
2. log my food, every bite
3. Take each day as it comes.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE0 -
morning peeps -
janetr - congrats on your pb!!
fanncy - so sorry to hear about the layoff, hope that job works out for her!
mikesmom - thanks! it will be when i'm riding, other days like today, had to take kirby to the doc so i will have to drive.
took Kirby to a doc appointment, a trauma followup app. 1st thing doc said, "wow, you have quite an extensive list of injuries!" lolol.. doc says he is doing remarkably well. he said the average person would not have improved as quickly as he has. he still has a ways to go but he is doing awesome! Friday we have an appointment for the spine/neck injury, see what happens there.
for me, I feeling the shoulder when I am riding home. probably because of the position of my arm on the handle bars.0 -
Happy hump day.hugs0

Michelle my dad did the same with my wedding - he invited all of his business acquaintances whom I did not know and my fiance and I were told how many of our friends we could invite which if I remember correctly was about 12 out of 250 invitees. We had all Chrysler Imperials for the wedding party and the Manny Harmon Band from the Coconut Grove played the music at out reception but it wasn't my wedding it was his big show. Anyway that was a long time ago (wow 52 yrs ago) and it was what it was. He was a control freak and was NEVER wrong - God Bless Him.
Working on my December goals today. Up at 8:45 instead of 8 because the boys had late start. We watched AFV this morning so that had us all laughing to start the day off right! I consciously think about smiling to keep a frown off of my face! What a difference it makes in attitude! Also purposely laughed this morning instead of getting mad at DGS#1. What a difference - we were both laughing instead of being at war. Watching Seinfeld while on our thread and forgot how great that show was and still is. Laugh laugh laugh! I Love Lucy still gets me rolling on the ground!
Downloaded Windows 10 last night and updated ITunes along with subscribing to the 3 month free Music trial so am enjoying Billy Joel music. So far not much trouble with 10 but I am not using their browser as I use Chrome. I am going to try out the Edge browser to see what the differences are while using it.
Time to go put some eggs on to boil - along with the timer so I don't forget and let the water boil out again!!!
In PIP language - type to you later!

Yep meeting at a parking lot works too....but once we waited in a Costco parking lot about 30 minutes over the time they were SUPPOSED to meet me...and I was selling a $5.00 griddle....saw her coming out of the store...."Really?"....some are rude people and insensitive to the fact that your time is valuable too.
