Cheri- Hanging in rainy NE oHIo- My nephew is a freshman at UNG on an ROTC scholarship. My sister says it is a lovely area.Her husband's sisters both moved there about 3 years ago and if my sister were not moving to Germany they would have liked to look at homes there. Oh, and I love NE Ohio- all my dad's family are there but us- he and mom decided not to go back when he got out of the Navy. He was a nuclear engine technician and there was no work in the 60s for that in Ohio... so he stayed in Maryland and ended up a delivery driver for Hostess and Wonderbread... guess nuclear engine techs weren't in demand in the private sector.
247mama- I am new too and have 6 kids- 35 to 17 and 3 grands. We are doing the countdown to #6's graduation from HS on May 31st. After 25 years of PTA and team parent and committee chair... I am so ready to be done!
Spent the day on the computer trying to figure out how to borrow ebooks from the library. Finally got it figured out and my tablet- I use it like a reader as my ereader is one of the original ones from about 2000- says it does not have enough room for the apps needed to borrow books. I will buy a memory card tomorrow. I have to work tonight and then have a funeral in the morning for a very dear woman from our church. In the meantime I was able to set the apps up on my phone and laptop so I borrowed several books from a series I have fallen behind in to read on my phone at work tonight. I use the kindle app and the kobo app on my phone and tablet and usually listen to audio books at work while I crochet between events. My son has a kindle so we pay for the unlimited and between the 2 of us we read about 20 books a month for 10.00 and that includes audio books. A seriously good deal. Now I can get current best sellers from the library for free too... so the day was not wasted!
I did get some blog posts written and put together some recipes that are low fat/carb and high protein as well. Guess I need to get up at 5am more often... or not!
It is almost time to head to bed for my nap before work. The pot roast is in the crock pot so I am done with all motherly and wifely duties for the day and my bed is calling.
Have a great rest of the day all!
D- in very cold and very damp and very dreary Maryland where I have a warm, soft bed calling my name!

Gorgeous cool,sunny day on the NS made for gardening.
Lenora your story back many posts sure does prove that real life drama beats most that's written
Kim just had to comment on your DN...it's great to hear about young people making good choices...proud you should be.
Michele I wondered what "baking mix" is...if it's Bisquick I can't imagine needing any shell or phyllo since Bisquick would make its own crust...the "magic" Quich recipes come to mind. I'd love to know how it turned out.
Joyce thanks for your comment on my question regarding Spotify or Pandora...I thought more people would be streaming music to exercise by especially the "younger" group. Maybe many download from iTunes the way I've been doing for years.
Spent an hour and a half @ the car dealership this AM getting my yearly service now that I don't drive over 10,000m/yr as I did when I was working full time. I know Lisa & others of you out West can easily do 10,000 miles in those wide open spaces takes awhile in the NE if you're not commuting daily.
My DDiL #1 slipped on ice two wks ago & broke her ankle...kindergarten teacher & right foot so she is going bonkers at home in her boot for 6 wks. Need to give her a call & see how she's doing.0 -
Lenora~My middle son's birthday in in Nov, so he was a young Kinder. student. My youngest son's birthday is also Nov, but having put thru kinder. again just reinforced all the 50 words they have to have under their belt before they go into 1st grade. Don't regret it ever. California had a program of " see it, read it, write it" so there were words he couldn't say but could spell, etc. Of course his 2nd kinder. teacher thought he was really rude because he would interrupt her with answers, (um because he had just learned that), so that was an adjustment. He went thru a "camouflage" stage. Had camo pants, shirt, cap, and took orders really well. I just told the teacher, "You are his commander today". "Just give him orders and he will do them". Funny days... He would salute me when I said have a nice day....nutty kid...

Pip.....nooooo put your boot away....I got my act together now....eeeeekkkkk! hahaha..
Love your monkey shoes! My son wore them his last year of high school. He and his best friend were the ultimate go getters, riding their bikes everywhere, making homemade pressure potato guns (air pressure), building rockets, Lego remote controlled vehicles, and homemade rifles that shot out AA batteries (not really legal, but hey they only used them in the backyard and aimed at weird garden art they dragged home from a field).

Sylvia – I once took my DMGD, who was still running a fever after 5 days; to their Pediatrician who is the same one I used when their Dad was a baby. He jumped on me about her having a fever for 5 days without being called or bringing her in. I reminded him, that she was my GD and I did not have any control over when she got brought to the doctor. He told me to tell DDnL#1 that she is to be brought to him if she runs a fever a 3rd day. Untreated, it could go into Rheumatic Fever. She had ‘strep throat’. I always followed his instructions when my boys were babies/young. Some of the things were pretty ‘off the wall’; but, if I did them I got the results he told me I’d get. Every time. DDnL#1 will stop giving them meds as soon as they either stop having a temperature; or, they act like they are getting better; then she'll keep it (expecting that it will work the next time). I keep telling her that is why they get sick all over again a few weeks later … need to give them the antibiotic until it is gone.
My boys went to a Pediatric Dentist; who took them in the back to clean their teeth and then came out and talked to me about it. He said that the children were less upset without parents being in the room and they would explain things to them about what they were about to do. Boys always came out of the dentist office with smiles. Sounds like the toothpaste must have a fluoride treatment in it. That’d be better than then actually having to ‘take’ fluoride. My boys (especially the oldest one; and his oldest daughter and her mother) all have mottled teeth because they took fluoride drops. Not done with the others and they don’t have the same kind of mottled teeth.
pip34 – That was a good way to use a ‘gift card’ … getting something you wanted and finding it online.
Cheri – Hope interview goes well for your DH and that he ‘gets’ the job … you’ll like the weather in Georgia (even North GA where they get snow sometimes).
Marcelynh – We had a neighbor who had ‘white hair’; my oldest sister loved her hair; and, she started praying that God would give her ‘white/gray’ hair just like Ludie’s. She got her wish; he hair started turning ‘white’ when she was 28; by her mid-30’s her hair was almost totally white. My middle sister puts color in her hair; my guys – DH included, do NOT want me to color my gray again. I did keep it colored in some shape, form, or fashion when I worked. It actually looks streaked now … light brown hair with a lot of highlights. I've been asked before 'who does my color'? GOD! It’s ‘white’ … not ‘gray’ or ‘yellowish’. Both DSs were born with one gray hair (opposite sides). Oldest son will be 40 in June and his hair has a lot of gray in it. I expect that he will be totally gray by the time he is 55 or so. My late MnL had the prettiest salt & pepper hair; until my DSD decided to have it colored some time prior to her death. Looking at her in the casket ... she looked from any shade of 'little old lady pink hair' to shade of lavender. DSD bought 2 new outfits to wear (top of head to toe) for the visitation and funeral and then the clothes my DMnL were buried in were old. She had always wanted to be buried in lavender. She did not even look like herself. It had been a few weeks from the last time we saw her and the visitation. I would have gone out and bought a new lavender outfit for her 'if' I had known that Sherry was going to do this. Karma will come around and she will do it with 'Grace' (MnL's name).
My BF has ‘natural’ red hair; but getting very gray; she used to get it colored auburn; which to me was way too harsh (at her age). Made her face look hard; then she started getting it done a blondish-red; which does a lot to her face – age wise. I told her to ‘never’ get it done dark again and told her why. I think she’d look good with gray hair; but, that’ll never happen.
auroranae – Oh, I know first-hand about ‘unemployed’ engineers back in the ‘60’s; we had a TRIG teacher (had a degree in engineering and could not get a job). Why is it that people think if they are not able to get a job that they can either ‘teach’ or ‘paint’? My husband, a house paint contractor has ‘fixed’ more ‘DYI’ jobs than he cares to count. They don’t understand all the drips and waves in the paint; it’s because some ‘drip’ has painted something incorrectly.
I got a paperback book from the library; and, it felt ‘cheesy’ trying to read it; so I asked if they could get it in a ‘hardback’. Something about a paperback, just makes me want to curl it over. Don’t do that with a hardback and I use a ‘marker’ with a hardback. I've been told that I'd love a Kindle or something like that; I'm just use to getting the latest book by a favorite author as soon as it comes out and not buying it. I'm not sure I'd understand how to do that with a 'reader'. I know the library I use has a big collection of audiobooks. Not sure how they work their books downloaded onto a Kindle or other reader. Guess I could ask. But, it is like a Fitbit - not something I really want to spend my money on at this point in my life.
ljdw99 – Not sure which ‘real life drama’ you’re talking about. I’ve had a lot of ‘I don’t believe that drama’ in my life. Usually, looking back 20/20 – I have learned a whole lot about life from it. Might not have been too pleasant at the time; but, it shows me that I am a ‘strong’ woman and gives me a ‘sense of humor’. Life’s not worth wasting getting too bend out of shape. Usually, things work out for the best; if you are willing to let it flow over you. I’ve shared a lot of my stories here. I feel comfortable in chatting with the ladies on this site.

The computer ate my response this morning! Part of my post this morning was to say that it ate my response from last night. I am upset enough that I don't remember what I said.

Spent the day at the emergency room with my mom. Turns out her heart now beats about 40 more beats per minute than it should. It was causing light headness, nausea, and shortness of breath. Once they read ekg they knew exactly what was going on. Gave her meds it dropped within minutes. They control it with meds she must take two times a day. Once they gave her meds she felt so much better.
So much for a healthy diet. Lunch and breakfast was chips cookies and a rice krispy treat. Oh yeah and a can of coke. Will do better at dinner time. Feeling guilty about my choices. I could have went down to cafeteria but chose the vending machine instead. With my anxiety level regarding her and my personal life I was really surprised I ate.

My lovely DDIL sent through the draft copies of the professional photo shoot they had done when Bea was a couple of weeks old. I've screen swiped a couple of them just to show you.
There are so many and they've got to pick 20!

Thanks so much Lenora! We can only hope. Haven't heard from him yet today. Will be getting in very late tonight so will get the details tomorrow morning.
He's been at this 17 months now. Has made over 100+ applications on-line. Has participated in over a dozen Skype/phone interviews. AND several on campus interviews. I told him yesterday before he left that a lesser man would have thrown in the towel by now. Beyond proud of his efforts!
Have a good evening,
Cheri

Another cold, rainy day in WI. Finally gave in & took a nap. At least the tulips & daffodils are blooming. They're the bright spots in our yard. Much too cold for naked gardening!
No exercise class today. Gave myself the day off. Maybe will get on the treadmill later. It would warm me up.
Kudos to everyone out there fighting the good fight!

I love all this UNG support today! Maybe it will be a karma type thing and hubs will finally get an offer!
I've lived in Ohio on 4 different occasions. In central Ohio, Orient and Grove City. I went to Miami University in Oxford and now live in the Akron area. Love the hills up in this area. And we are just below the "lake effects" snow line.
My husband has an undergraduate degree in Nuclear Engineering....lol.
Take care

Hey ladies! Good evening! I hopped on this morning but just had time to read. Due to my sore posterier, I have decided to pause in my squat challenge and pick up the last five days when I am feeling not so tender down there. I went to the doc and found out I have my first hemorrhoid. Isn't that special? (Do I get a card and cake for that?) Doc thinks that lifting the bigger kids (I have some big two and a half year olds) may have caused it.
Pip- Love the shoes! I do have a question, do your feet get really wet when you wear them outside on wet days? Are you able to wash them? The uppers look like they may be a washable material.
Welcome all newbies! This is a great group of ladies! Very supportive and very active lives!
Penny and Heather- I am green with envy over the fact that 1. Heather will be visiting Longyearbyen and 2. you get to meet eachother! I will live vicariously through your visit! Remember to post lots of pics!
Marcelyn and the other gray haired ladies-My gray started coming in at about age 45, and I color my hair. Not coming in enough to go all gray, yet. Funny story: When my daughter was born with red hair my DH looked at me and said "Where did that come from?" We are both brunettes with no known natural red heads in the families. He was suspicious that she wasn't his kid. Then his mom came to visit in the hospital and while she was holding Lauren she said "Her hair is the same color mine was when I was young!" Sure enough, she brought in a lock of her hair the next day and it was a light auburn. She had been dying her hair blonde her entire adult life and bc photos were black and white back then, her sons never knew she was originally a red head! Lauren's hair stayed red, just a shade or two darker red now.
Peach/CArol- Wow! Your mother looks wonderful and you really look a LOT like her! Good genes!
My last kiddos just got picked up and their mom had some good news for me. She got a new job and she will be working a 6am-2pm shift. So, although I will have two more at 5:30 in the morning (might as well since I already have the one that early), not having these two boys until 6:30pm shaves a whole hour off my day as the rest of the kids get picked up by 5:30pm! Yea! An extra hour in the day for me!
Oh, and I had a NSV day before yesterday. I was too tired and sore to cook dinner, so I picked up dinner for DH and DYS from Panera and even picked out a dessert for the both of them and I didn't get anything for me! This is a HUGE victory for me; because I love the soups and HELLO a plateful of frosted brownies staring at me?! I came home and had a cup of cottage cheese and an apple.
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes tonight. One of DH's favorite meals.
Have a wonderful night, all! KJ/Kelly0 -
Heather: Your logging advice is right on. :bigsmile:
Sylvia: I'm happy that your gallery is doing so well. It is a tribute to your hard work and that of others. :flowerforyou:
Cheri: Sending good thoughts for your health and your husband's job search. :flowerforyou:
Marcelynh: I think you'll love your natural hair and will look beautiful. A picture would be nice.
247mama: Welcome, you sweet young thing! :devil: :bigsmile:
Heather: I love the pictures of your DGD. She is a precious one. Both the photos you shared are wonderful.
It has been a good day but I'm ready for rest. Spent some of the time crabbing back and forth with DH. I don't like that at all. We got the groceries and other items that we need.

Hi gals,
Lisa – LOL on hubby gardening… If Kitten is replacing words what would they do with a pic of DH gardening naked… add a pic of a kitten? LOL
Penny – I am green with envy indeed and I plan on seeing LOTS of pictures!!!
Heather – I am green with envy that you get to meet Penny and see Longyearbyen in person
Barbie – good deal! I bet you would both play mini golf with a little niece or nephew… I’m glad to hear he watches you perform .
Linda, 247Mama – welcome
Carol – ok since next month is 3 days away… but the first week of next month… I side with DH
Miriam – Oh LUTRDMF (laughing until tears run down my face)
Sylvia – I wonder if you could shop the toothpaste, maybe a Walmart or Costco?
Pip – What is Etta? Or more specifically what does the Etta Auction support, It would be fun to dress up
Annie – Glad mom is doing better – Please get over the guilties!!! And chalk it up to a learning experience.
Heather - Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KJ – Ok PM me your address and I’ll send you a card !!! LOL
Busy day – gardening in the am then errands, and the financial guy – I checked in with him on the repercussions of getting a “real” job - sounds like it will be fine. Now to just land it. I had to smile to myself, I have stressed about the business and finances for months, now that I know if it is offered I’ll take the gardening job, and that will ease everything my phone and email have gone crazy with embroidery jobs… which of course I am saying yes to…
And another of my “pesky” pounds off, 1.5 more to go and I’ll be back to my lowest MFP weight and ready to get the next chunk off. I am finding that the lower stress level is helping with my eating habits, I seem to want less and make better choices without even realizing that I am.

Heather, I wish they had included you and DH in the pro photo shoot. But those are lovely. So hard to choose.
I got good news this afternoon. I had an appointment for next WEdnesday for my tooth extraction. Well it has really been hurting, the entire gum is swollen and feels boggy, it's real red. and my face is swollen. It even hurts all the way up around my eye. So I called this afternoon and I got an appointment for tomorrow at 11! This late morning sleeper would have accepted an appointment at 7 AM just to get this tooth out.
Lenora, my brother was on a nuclear sub and he was a big part of the operation of part of it. He never had the formal education just a brilliant mind. Now just him being on the sub was rather harrowing at times. But after 20 years he hung up his hat and retired.

Here at the library again. Finally got my Fitbit set up so start tracking today. I decided not to interview for the job as I just could not see myself being happy with it. Still looking for something where I can use my skills and have some fun or at least be happy to go to work each day! I'll find it yet. Have not read any posts so can not post in reference to anything going on in any of your lives. I hope nothing terrible has happened and that many of you are having good things happening. Please know that you are in my thoughts many times a day and I will check-in as possible. Becca has my phone number if anyone wants to check with me. Love you all!
Gloria in WA0 -
Hello all: Cool cloudy day here. Didn't get much done outside today but groceries and errands are done. I have been doing really well with not eating after dinner since I have a new med that needs to be taken on an empty stomach before bed but now I have found myself eating less than healthy stuff midafternoon. Need to preplan I think and have something ready to grab so I am not looking around for something.
Heather - Congratulations on getting that money back from BT.
Lisa - Safe travels!
Cheri - Hope that karma works. Your DH deserves to find something right up his alley.
Katla - My DD is in Wales just now and they went horseback riding in Snowdonia yesterday. She rode a Welsh cob named Alice. She had to ride an english saddle for the first time in years, hope she is not sore today.
Pip - Yeah for the new monkey feet!
Healing angels to all who need them and congratulations to those with victories, Sue in WA0 -

ljdw99 – We divided my Mother’s ‘stuff’ before we had to put her into an Assisted Living Facility. She got to see that we did it fairly and no arguments or hurt feelings. Later on, we made some ‘exchanges’ with one another for things that we really wanted. My oldest sister had gotten the dining room table that would let out to seat 12. Middle sister and I gave her our 4 chairs for something she had that we wanted. But, I will admit to being a pluperfect B**** when my DH’s daughter by a previous marriage ‘screwed’ him and his brother over by getting DMnL to ‘add’ her as if she was a ‘child’; and pulled a POA off the Internet AFTER we had had her ‘rescind’ one that she had gotten her to sign earlier. BnL was 'pissed' because she was 'co-mingling' their funds and had transferred the title to the car over to he; he made her sign it over to both of them. Told her NOT to pay her insurance out of his mother's account and he balanced the accounts. They had given her a ‘Limited Power of Attorney’ to get ‘medical treatment’. Karma WILL come visit her ‘someday’; but, at this point – don’t care. We have not seen them in nearly 9 years since. DH was ‘hurt’ that she’d do this to them. I think what upset me most was that ‘she’ being the ‘only’ granddaughter did not bother to have the 4 grandsons added. She took DMnL to the bank and had her sign another signatory card; then it was never convenient to go have them added back; then she took the POA and went into DFnL’s lock box 4x from the day he died until the day of the funeral. Both sons ‘knew’ that he had money in it. Again, never sent any paperwork to have them added to the Mutual Funds that she bought with the $$$. The worst thing she did was on the day of the visitation for DMnL … they were having a ‘pool’ dug in their yard (while the supper was about to eaten in the back yard). I made a comment to DH about how it was the ‘height of disrespect’ for them to have workers in the yard when we would be eating out on the patio. Her husband was standing 2 feet away from me and he went over and told them to pack it up. His daughter came screaming and cursing out the back door – saying that it would then be the end of the summer before they could reschedule them. Oh well ….
Lenora this was the story I was referring to.

Nikki - as for online dating, I say GO FOR IT!
pip - well, everyone will see you coming in those money feet. They are so pretty
Volunteered at the Green Room then Lynette brought me home because Vince was at shooting. I asked her to stop at Bi-Lo so I could get a rotisserie chicken. I told her the last one we had was from WalMart and it was SOOO salty. She said oh, "we like the chickens from WalMart". I tell you, my feet were swollen from all the salt. I had a hard time choking it down.
Then did some more on the power washing of the driveway. Tonight is the last session of Newcomer bowling (for this season). Afterwards, we're going to go to WalMart. Vince wanted to go before bowling, but I need refrigerated items, so we'll go after. Really, this man thinks you should be able to get EVERYTHING in one trip to one store. Doesn't work that way. Not every store carries the same thing.
Larisa - so glad you friend will be joining us
Kim - thanks for telling me that filo will work. I just can't seem to find the cups around here.
D in MD - there's an article in *Consumers Reports* this month about things to do for pain. Love your hair
Linda - welcome!
Lenora - we love the salt water pool. I would definitely go this route again. Did you ever try that Krud Kutter for red clay? I tell you, it WILL get the red clay out, even on clothes.
Cheri - keeping my fingers crossed for your dh
In 2 weeks Vince is taking me to get my hair colored and cut. He'll also get his cut at the same time. I can't wait....I hate my hair as it is. It really needs to be colored and cut. Badly. But there's only so much I can ask him to do. I try to limit my asking, but it's hard sometimes.
mama - so glad LoLo invited you! Nice to meet you
ljdw - I'm thinking that the "baking mix" is Bisquick. But in the end, I had to change to making these chicken pot pies for Mexican Train. You know, I take something but have very little to eat there. I always take a dessert plate and there are so few things that interest me. Mostly deep fried or store bought stuff.
Heather - lovely pics
Joyce - so glad you were able to get that appointment for tomorrow. Please take care of yourself.
Gloria - so glad to see you!

Michelle in NC - I'll look for that ... I definitely need something to take out dried on red clay. Will it get 'mustard' out of clothes? IF I wear white and eat ... I am going to 'spill' something on it. Grease, mustard, you name it. I love 'white' but it doesn't like me particularly like it. LOL!
Joyce - I hope that nothing I posted (about engineers) was taken with offense. Certainly NOT meant to be. I just had a 'bad' experience with one in TRIG class. He might have been very smart ... he just was NOT a teacher. I've known a lot of 'brilliant' people - whether they have 'formal education' or not. Does not matter. I choose my friends for 'common interests' and I consider all on this site as 'friends ... I just have not 'personally' met you. I only know Carol/Peach because she went to the same HS that I did and was in my middle sister's class. Shows you 'how small' this world really is.
My computer just ate my entire post; maybe it was because I cut it; and did not paste it here, first; before 'not saving' it in my WP program. Oh well. Missed another one of my DYS's antics story.
Can't remember anything else I had typed. But, just 'typing' calms me down a whole lot. You can probably tell I like to type (and talk) from my 'long' posts.

KJLaMore - Does having hemorrhoids make you a 'royal P.I.T.A.'?0

Cheri - I know you are proud of your DH. You're right ... most people would have 'given up and thrown in the towel'. My DOS is working with his Dad in his 'paint contracting business'. He really needs to 'find' a job if he is not willing to 'step up to the plate' and take over it if he has to. He was talking the other day when he was driving me somewhere that he and his Dad had talked about taking the 'insurance' test (even paying for the class, if necessary); but, then he asks around and gets told 'it is cut-throat' business'. So that is something else he does not really want to do. He passed his real estate license test' right before the housing market tanked. Right after his boss ran the paint company out of business by taking large sums of money out of it and not paying for the franchise. No wonder the other 3 partners pulled out. At least DH had something he could do to make a living. He wants a job with insurance and benefits; but, he needs to clear what he makes now. DH cannot afford insurance for him.
