Re the music thing. I left my health club because they played ambient music everywhere in the building. Plus, music in the gym, in the YOGA class :noway: , and far too loud in the pool for the aqua aerobics. What is wrong with peace and quiet? Thank goodness my yoga teacher doesn't play music, except sometimes a bit at the end for a relaxation exercise. :ohwell:
Yesterday I was really proud of myself for putting up with ghastly loud music at the pub. A couple of years ago I would have had a panic attack and had to leave. I still don't like it, but I was OK. I just find it so sad that we are assailed on all sides by music we haven't chosen and would not have in our house. To me it is an assault. As bad as a physical assault. But somehow losing weight has helped me feel more in control of my life and I can deal with it better. I still cannot understand why people think THEIR choice of c#×p music should be an acceptable choice to accompany a meal. Usually I am successful in getting them to turn it down, and generally choose to go to places that don't have music. Yesterday I didn't feel it was my place to do so and also I wanted to test myself to put up with it. But why should I ? These days people can stick any nonsense in their ears if they want to and not annoy other people.
I survived. I managed. That is a major achievement for me.

I agree with you on peoples musical assault on one another. My husband says there are people that will position their musical devices at the gym, then walk away from them to lift weights somewhere else... So he is listening to his Itunes (recorded old radio broadcasting shows) and he can't hear what the actors are saying. He has no qualms about saying they need to either take it with them and put their earbuds in, or turn the things off.
My pet peeve is when people step into the hot tub in the pool area, they turn on the bubbles without having the courtesy to ask if the people already IN the tub if they wish them. Then they stay in about 2 minutes and leave. I am not much of a bubble person, so I tell them in a semi-annoyed tone to please turn them off when they are stepping out.

Kim - I love the way you explained how to get an aggressive dog off your dog. I would have done something completely different.
Vicki - I am shocked at how fast Shep has grown. I'm glad you enjoyed the zoo. It's hard to miss here because we are so chatty!
Carol NC- great online dating advice!

Off and on rain/hail/sun today. Living on the coast is a cornucopia of weather systems! Had to call the manager because our oven top burner element had a malfunction and a part of the burner got so hot that it "welded" to the tea pot! I would've freaked out if I had been the one to see it, so I am glad my husband handled it! Already got a new heating element.
I have been playing with my military medical insurance co. (Tricare) because I am trying to see a dermatologist in my area. So my primary doctors office tried to get a authorization to see one they know. I had to call Tricare and request them as my specialist. They had no record of that doctor. So I called left message at my primary docs office about that. Then I rec'd in the mail a authorization of approval letter for a doc near me. Cool, I thought and called that office getting a new patient appointment. They had no doctor by that name. Aaack! So I called Tricare and told them that, and got a listing of some doctors within my treatment area. Some were at the same address as the authorization of approval doc....and that office stated they had no dermatologist doctors. So I knew Tricare's doctors listings are so un-maintained. Well I still had one doctor that Tricare gave me, so I left a message. The answering machine stated their name was Silver Falls Dermatology. That is the same medical office that the FIRST doctor from my primary doctor was at! Sheeeesh! Over the years I have done so much phone work dealing with stuff like incorrect codes, etc, that I think I could be a Coding Assistant! All I know is that I hope that the doctors office I have left a message with is taking new patients!
Thanks for letting me rant.
carry on and CONQUER

Hi! I'm new to the group! I am on Weight Watchers and have lost 30 lbs so far. I have 22 lbs to go to reach my goal. I have gained the past three weeks and it is time to get serious again!
I was married for 26 years to my high school sweetheart until he died of cancer in 2009. I met my current husband on Christian Mingle in 2014. We talked for a couple of months on the phone before we met in person. By the time we met, we already had a spiritual connection. Of course, there were quite a few that were less than desirable. I was very choosy about who I even talked to on the phone much less agreed to meet in person. I was looking more for a friend rather than a husband but I found the perfect man for me. I have been blessed with two wonderful husbands. Don't settle! The perfect man is out there!

Becca - just wait until you are on Medicare and go to Tricare for Life. Double trouble.

Heather: Congratulations on the birth of Beatrice! :flowerforyou:
Becca: I hope you're able to navigate your way through the tri-care system and get the doctor you need.
I enjoyed yoga this morning . One of my favorite instructors was there. :bigsmile: Mondays we usually have someone who isn't my favorite instructor. She is a nice person, but not actually into yoga so her class feels like calisthenics instead of yoga.

heehee....sometimes I forget to log out completely and my husband is always threatening to post raunchy things on my account. If I suddenly do a Jekyll/Hyde mental thing...its just HIM!!

I did online dating after my divorce and met a few what I would consider decent guys. Most were only out for one thing. Dated one for awhile he was very nice and I enjoyed my time with him with the exception of his daughter and grand daughter. They lived with him and his daughter did nothing including not taking care of her daughter. His grand daughter was always getting in trouble at school (1st grade) It was always the excuse that the teacher or kids were the problem. When I tried to discussing it with him he made up every excuse in the world. Realized it would probably always be an issue.
What I learned is as we get older we come with more baggage and issues. Seems to make thing harder. For me my exhusband abandoned me out of nowhere. Got in his truck one day said nothing and I had no idea where he was for several days. Left me to pay all the bills and try and figure out where he went and why he left. Only answer for him leaving is he thought he should be happier than he was. We did not argue about stuff so was blind sided always talked things out and did everything together. My major issue is ABANDONMENT. Always waiting for them to leave.

Sorry for any confusion.
We all have weird names for our user names but we all try to end our threads with our real name and where we are from (It's easier to remember a Betty from Baltimore, than a Bet62tiLoser...right? lol

Hi
I'm new on here and not really sure what I'm doing. I've been part of MFP in the past, but haven't been on for awhile. I'm 54 - 55 next month - and I recently had a full physical - YIKES! I need to set some serious goals here and I need some encouragement. I really need an accountability partner or group.
My goals for the rest of March are:
1. Log everything I put in my mouth
2. Wear my fitbit every day and get a minimum of 8,000 steps
3. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily
Glad to be here and have enjoyed reading your posts,
Terri0 -
A quick post. First day of work and as, I think it was Carol who said it, donuts on the table first thing. Pizza and chocolate cream pie for lunch (it's pie day, like in 3.14). Had some pizza but that's it. Got up at 5:15 to exercise. But seriously, what is it about workplaces and bad food????

Hi and welcome, I too am new here and have been mostly reading posts and setting goals such as log everything I eat, not only being honest wiht myself but also setting up the habit or logging.0 -
Everybody has been so chatty!
Everybody's posts seem to be all glommed together in my brain. I do have sorted out the fact that Beatrice is beautiful!!!
Otherwise, I feel like a disappointment as far as being a morale booster on a personal level. I hope you all are doing fine, but if not that you will be soon!
And welcome to the new people!
Betty

One really good thing that will come out of the transfer to electronic health record requirements - doctor offices and insurance companies will have to keep the records updated or they won't get paid. I am surprised to hear that Tricare didn't have an up to date list. The VA went completely electronic years ago and we could go out of state and all the records, RX and referrals were updated and complete. Perhaps that just was in our 4 state area.0 -
Heather With a name like Beatrice, your new grandbaby will probably grow up to be regal. What a wonderful name. I am so glad that these lovely names are coming back. Your children are wise to give her a name she can aspire to. Again, congratulations.
Kimses You made it through the first day of work. Yippee.
Connie in AR , Teri Whitcomb Janet AlabamaWelcome.
Joyce This reminds me. I should not put off making appointments for dentist, mammogram and orthopod.
Frustrating day at work. It was reflected in my exercising. I really wanted to match yesterday's 6 miles but only did 5. I did improve time to 10.8minutes per mile, but still.
Mary Thanks for the kettlebell advice.
