Alison: A Memorial Day Parade? How lucky for you! It sounds like you're off to a good start today. :flowerforyou:
Lillian: Congratulations on getting more rain! I hope the drought is over. :bigsmile:
Irish Terri: What a beautiful field! Thanks for sharing.
Rori: I hope the aleve worked for you and you had a good night's sleep. (((HUGS)))
Margaret:
Becca: I love Whether the Weather! I haven't heard or seen it in years but I'm copying it so I don't lose it! You and your DH are in my continued prayers.
Yesterday I talked to the owner of the stable where I take my riding lessons about a partial lease on one of her horses. This would allow me to ride a couple of times a week on my own in addition to my lesson day. My riding teacher is off to a competition next weekend, so I won't have a lesson. The week after that we'll have a chance to get her input on whether this horse and I are suitable for one another. We'll do that in the arena with me working with the horse. I've seen him act up before, and it was not pretty. I've been told that he's "doing much better now" but I don't know whether I have the skills to handle him. My riding teacher suggested him as a possibility before this. We will see.

Robins usually nest low- three to seven feet is common. They will nest in hanging baskets, shrubs, ledges, small trees. They don't usually like enclosed boxes. Nice photo.
Love to all.0 -
KJLaMore and Linda IA I couldn't stop looking at the adorable kittens and baby robins. Wonderful photos!
Blessings to all who are struggling with health problems, ill animals, Mother Nature on a rampage, or other difficulties.
@exermom - Michele Would you be able to recommend a resource for exercises to improve posture, balance, and core strength?

Hi gals,
A bit behind…. But morning coffee at the ready! Let read and catch up –
Livermush????????????? Ok that sounds disgusting, of course I don’t like liver at all and mush?
Cheri - at 56 it could be age discrimination - it doesn’t seem right but I hear it from a lot of folks over 50…
Katla – THANK YOU for getting a hold of Sylvia and finding out she is fine.
Alison – Thanks for sharing about Charlie!
Beth – glad it is time for a plan – hang in there!
Rori – glad to hear he is making the decision to become and stay sober.
Linda – Welcome back, I think even if we are plateau-ed or slip up, we have each learned so much by counting calories, realizing how much exercise it takes to burn the calories, and the learnings from each other that we are in healthier places and better equipped for future choices - so I for one am delighted to learn some of what you have learned.
Welcome Lisa,
Margaret - Sorry that DH is not better, but glad he is feeling better – quality of life and attitude are so important
Heather – I am sorry to hear about Flo - and while I don’t suffer as some do with serious depression, I have “baby” sized bouts of it and having a pet is always been helpful for me.
Penny – what great timing to connect with DH and DD and family and DS and family…
Beth – filp it around, if you had a friend in the situation you are in would you want to help? So you are providing an opportunity for them, not being needy….
Barbie - sending good thoughts to Jake, Glad to hear he is doing all the research!
Alison – all that heavy work In that heat is not a healthy choice, you are making good choices for you and with your other medical concerns you should not over tax your body… Tom is not thinking clearly
Miriam – excellent, our town does the outdoor concerts too I should go this summer! Thanks for the push
Becca – Ok you did awesome the driving the food choices and deciding what the flying by folks were thinking… I had a car yesterday behind me tailgating and acting silly (on a city street no less) he finally went around my by driving in the gutter and at the next light I was next to him – I smiled… cracked me up that he had stressed out so much to just be even with me. I know it will be a long weekend waiting for info… but you can do it. We are here to listen, and sweep away any fears.
LisaBirdwell – You are doing fine figuring it out! If you read to the “end” then post the next time you log in you will be at your post which allows you to read from there.
KJ – great picture, crazy bee story! And the pop- what a great idea, I have found a store bought frozen yogurt pop I like but $4 for 4 is too much except once and a while… homemade! Why did I not think of that??? Thanks
So back before Mary started her time off, I was considering kettle ball swings, as it seemed like something I could do without much investment of $$ and because of the dog I did not need to be on the floor, so I watched the videos (you tube) and then hurt my arm so decided to put it off, well – the arm is not yet better, and while my weight is holding in its plateau, I am feeling fat, it dawned on me I could do the kettleball swings without any weight, and actually I am doing them with my arms crossed on my chest that protects the sore muscle – so I have done 20 each day for 2 days and am really feeling it in my middle – which is the area that needs the most work – my legs from walking and arms from gardening and a pulling dog are in ok shape but the center has a lot to be desired.
Smiles.

I HAVE FINISHED MY DUOLINGO NORWEGIAN COURSE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I shall keep on doing the revision, but they reckon it's the equivalent of a whole year's university instruction.
Unfortunately I can't remember most of the vocabulary, but I do know more than I did when I started and much more than I expected. I'm sure that when someone starts talking to me I won't be able to understand a word, but I can say a few sentences. Most importantly, I have had SUCH FUN. And it's a free app.
Did a tiny bit of weeding today. DH was out there weed whacking, so I watered pots and pulled out forget me nots and grass. Better than nothing.
Didn't manage any packing. :ohwell:
Haven't heard anything from my son about Flo.
Love Heather UK4 -

Lisabridwell – When you open up the site; it will take you back to where you last posted. Sometimes you might want to scroll up to see some postings that might have been posted about the same time you posted. But, normally you’d start at your last posting and scroll downward. A lot of us open up a ‘word processing program’ and put them side-by-side so that we can post our answers in the WPP and then cut and paste it over to the very last post and add it there. Whenever you post, you cannot go back to a previous page, unless you save it first.
Make sure you are at the end of the postings before you post your answers or comments. Once you have saved your post, to make any questions or other postings, you can ‘edit’ them by going to the upper right-hand corner of your post and a black gear will drop down and you have one hour to make any changes to it. Click on the ‘time’ and it will turn back yellow and you can ‘edit’ it in any manner you wish. Using the “quote” is what you’d hit if you wanted to show the comment from another. If it is a long one; and you only wish to answer a part of it; you can 'delete' the parts you don't want to copy or answer. This is done by going to that person’s post and hitting “quote”. I’m not sure what the ‘flag’ does (other than it brings attention to a post that you might think is inappropriate). I’ve never used it so maybe someone else might know more about it. The ‘like’ and ‘awesome’ buttons are much like in any other ‘social networking sites’ and are pretty much self-explanatory.
Most important is that you ‘bookmark’ this site by clicking on the outline of the star at the upper right-hand corner of the first page you come to and it will turn ‘yellow’; after that any time you come to the community – you will then hit the gray star between the gray bell and gray gear; and it will bring you back to this page with a drop drown list of different sites you might save this way. At the end of the month (last day) barbiecat will post a ‘link’ to take you to the next month. This is done every month.
Most of us post about what we are doing, weight-wise, family issues, just venting if we need to, and supporting and encouraging others in their journey to ‘lose weight’, ‘maintain it’, and some are even here because they need to ‘gain weight’. You’ll find we are a ‘community’ of women (most over the age of 50) who are friends. Some posts more than others, some have been here for years, others are like you, ‘newbies’. IF you have any questions … post them … somebody will answer, what they have found works best for them. We are from all areas, USA and other countries; so we do try to keep some things that are our ‘opinions’ about religion and/or politics out of our posts. Everybody has their own opinions about that and this is really not the time or place to get into any discussions about those subjects. When we need ‘prayers’ … we’ll ask for them. When we talk about our problems we’ll get suggestions … which are just that … suggestions. We have a great variety of women who have important information to share and that, also, is their opinions based on their experiences.
Tell us a little about yourself, name you wish to be called, locations (general or specific), family, hobbies, stuff like that you wish to share. We have several ‘Lisa-s’; so your name and location will help us keep all of you straight when we post to one in particular.
WELCOME to a very close knit group that is ‘huge’ and widespread. Come, post often!
Becca – Good that you learned how to drive, even if it was later in life. Great that you are able to take your DH to the hospitals he needs to go to as well. Keep us advised as to what is going on with you two. {{{{{hugs}}}}}. I might have missed that post, maybe not; but, my short-term memory bank is shot full of holes for a lot of reasons. Cute little car, just too small for me, after having been in more wrecks than I have ever wanted … I want a ‘tank’. When I was in ‘art school’ I had a ‘new’ VW bug; and someone pulled out in front of me and I “T-boned” them. They were upset because I had not swerved to miss them. Gee, a car is more likely to have a ‘little’ give than a ‘telephone pole’ and I told the policeman that. They were charged with causing the accident. Not much protection in a VW with the motor being in the back and trunk in the front. But my uncle owned the VW dealership and we had bought it from him.
CJ – They’ve either got to ‘find’ her SS card; or get a replacement; but, her Dad has told her that she HAS to get her Learner’s License … whether she wants to, or not. It would be more convenient for them, if she has one. I could (probably) drive to school to pick them up (the back way) and let her drive home; since I am not supposed to drive until the middle of December; but, if not, then after the first of 2017, which is getting closer and closer. It’s hard to believe that June is only 3 days away. Yes, it would be nice to have a chauffeur while I am on this driving restriction.
Laying a brick patio; after having to have had to dig it up and clean off the bricks, would certainly mean a lot of ‘cardio’ exercise and lifting of weights (bricks). I think I would find something along the line of weight lifting to choose as my ‘exercise’ tracking. I know from doing just a very small landing off our deck which might be 3’ x 5’ … I was sweating like a stuck pig; and it took me ‘several’ hours, not days to do it.
Heather – DOGD is moving into a rental house the end of July/first of August (after we get home from vacation). She wants a ‘dog’ so bad it is unreal. They’ll have a fenced-in yard. She’d take “Luna” home with her ‘but’ she’s her Daddy’s dog and that won’t happen. I don’t think she realizes how expensive a pet can be … almost as expensive as having a ‘baby’.
Michele in NC – My DH is one who has a place for everything, and everything in its place. So that is what he ‘expects’ from everybody (including me, who a lot of times, lays things down where I last used them). For instance; I have laid my cell phone down, it is not ‘on’ or the battery has run down, so I can’t call it to make it ring to see if it has fallen off somewhere and I’ve looked the house over, not here. BF might have it at her house, since the last activity on it was on the 19th when she picked me up from a MD appointment and took me to her house.
I called Verizon and they suspended my account, and will reinstate it once I find the phone. But, ‘if’ I can’t find it; we do have insurance on it. But, then, I will lose my contacts and have to retype all of them in it. UGH! So I am hoping it is at my BF’s house. She’s out of town until Tuesday.
Rori – I’ve known a lot of people with a family member trying to get and stay ‘sober’. It is a difficult job, at best; and they will blame anybody and everybody around them for going through it. I would suggest finding a group for the other members of the family who also has to deal with it. I know they have a group for families who are going through their ‘loved ones’ going through something like “AA”. It helps teach you how to do things that will relieve the ‘guilt trip’ he might direct at you. If it is ‘drug related’, there is also a support group for that as well. Going sober is a ‘family’ venture and it is not always easy. Make sure you have someone who you can talk to, who have been through the same thing. They can give you some great pointers. It will give you the power to ‘stay’ or to ‘decide when it is time to get out of the situation’. NONE of it, is your fault entirely; and, I have been told by friends who have gone through it saying that. That is said IMHO!
Rori and Karen from NY – Girls can be ‘really mean’ and they do it when they ‘think’ they can get away with it. We had boys only, so ‘fist fighting’ was a way to settle things. I mean getting physical. We had a couple pair of boxing gloves, 4 stakes, and enough yellow rope to make a rink; and, they had to ‘fight’ fair. No rings on, no karate moves, just boxing. When my boys were younger and got into arguments; I’d make them stand on a square in the kitchen and ‘hug one another’. This worked great … within 10 minutes, most times less, they were giggling and had forgotten what they were arguing about. Our DMGD had someone who was ‘bullying’ her.
ODGD filmed it on her cell phone and sent it to her Mom; DDnL#1 got off work and drove into the parking lot of the school and ‘steam’ was coming out her eyes ... and she was a ‘fire-breathing’ Kodiak Mama Bear. The kids scattered when they saw her. She decided to take her daughter (DMGD) home; but, NOT before stopping by the office and telling the Head Master they had a ‘real problem’ and she ‘expected’ them to handle the situation. It worked for a little while and she got one of the Deputies to come talk to the class (she had wanted it to be for the entire school); but this little girl did not stop with her bullying, and she talked the entire time. The deputy stopped her and then used her as an 'example' of 'what bullying was'. By the end of the school year she had made every single girl in the grade ‘cry’; then she started on the younger group. One of the boys got between DMGD and this girl when it looked like she was going to be ‘physical’. That stopped it for that day. Then DMGD started taking up for the younger children. She had done this for 2 solid years. Come to find out her parents were going through a messy divorce and the father would not pay for her to go to the exclusive private school in town since he did not have custody of her. Her brother stayed with his Dad. She had had to leave the ‘few’ friends she had and move out of the home and to a ‘new’ school. After the 2nd year, after DDnL#1 had had her ‘say’ about it; they ‘invited her NOT to enroll the next year’. Bullying goes on in all school to some degree; and ‘cyber bullying’ is even worse. Print off the conversation and take it to the Police. That will stop it for sure (especially if you know who it is doing it). Walking away is really the best thing to do, for a girl. Although my DOS told her, that ‘if she touched her’, to ‘turn around and just deck her’. Even if it meant they made her ‘stay out of school for doing so for a few days’. Thankfully, she never did touch her. The situation is unpleasant for your daughter, she needs to know that she is ‘above’ getting down and dirty and on the level of the bully. She shows 'more class' by 'walking away'. Tell her that you are proud of her not getting down on their level.
Linda/IA – Cute kitties. We got our cat from the ‘shelter’ he is a ‘lover’ and whenever we take him to the vet, everybody is so surprised that he is so loving and an outside cat. He loves people and does not fuss about going to the vet. When he rides in the car, if we put him in a carrier, it has to be a sturdy one, he has busted out of the cardboard kind that the vet has. I let him ride without the carrier, and he sheds so much during the summer that there is cat fur flying everywhere; but, once he has looked out all the windows he will come lay in my lap with his head on the arm rest. The other day when we took our “Jack Rat” to the vet, we did not have room for her carrier; she was an angel. Rode very well, sat in my lap as still as could be. She got out at vet with me holding her on a leash; when I went back to get her, I had forgotten it so I had to hold her. She wasn’t too happy about that. She had cracked one of her toenails that was one she puts her weight on, and it was hurting her. So she stayed overnight and had it removed (under anesthesia). She still picks it up when walking and running; but, it is healing over. Vet says that ‘it’ might grow back; but, won’t hurt anything if it doesn’t. She’ll put her foot down when it no longer hurts. Ointment and pain pills came home with us. When we put the ointment on we have to put a ‘cover’ over paw to keep her from licking it off.
Marcelyn - When Inez stalled over Georgia (many, many years ago) … we were flooded (town, not house) and we had been ‘on vacation’ and ended up having to stay an extra week. I called my boss, who did not live far from me daily to find out where the water was. Flooded at both ends; but, house did not get any water in it, not even in the yard. He flew over the flooded area by helicopter; said that it gave him a totally different perspective of the flood that could not be displayed from the ground level. It was called the 500 year flood; over the 100 year flood mark and had never been reported as flooding that back in over 100 years. It displace a whole lot of people. The dirt damn breached and when it did, it emptied the lake that was made by building the damn. We came over the bridge (well out of our way to get home) and water all the way up to the bottom of the roadway; one week later, to the day; we went back over it and the lake was totally empty. DH and DSs said it would have been nice to have had the time to go out and tie buoys to the trees, and other things so they could find good fishing holes. Some people that lived around the lake did that. Most of them used the time to rebuild their docks.
Heather – A pet is a good way for a child to learn how to take care of something that will be ‘dependent’ on them to do so. Means something not being able to do something with friends because to do so, he’d have to find someone willing to ‘pet sit’ his choice of a pet. I know that ‘if’ our son did not live next door to us, we’d have to board 2 pets at a cost of $10 or $15 a day for each. That would get expensive for a week or 10 days … and then they would only be ‘let out’ a small portion of the time for exercise and play. Our vets own a boarding place separate from their office; and they play with the animals and they keep them as well. I’d use them, if I had to … but, it is an expensive proportion; but, they are open 7 days a week, 365 days.
I’d like to try DUOLINGO; but, have not decided which language to try: Spanish or French … never took a foreign language in HS … wasn’t wanting to have the teacher who taught it. She was also the ‘school counselor’ and it was always ‘my job to make friends with the ‘new’ kid and find people they might like to be friends with’. I did not mind doing that all that much, it made it easy to become friends with someone who had a different lifestyle than I did (in a small town). Some are still my friends today. One boy that came our senior year … OMGoodness – such a ‘beautiful’ guy with blue eyes. I ‘thought’ he was ‘stuck up’ until I found that he was basically shy; he had never started and ended a school year in the same school. He sang beautifully and played the trumpet. I got him to get in the band and chorus. He’s still ‘beautiful’! First married one of my HS friends, they got a divorce and now married to someone young enough to be ‘considered a ‘trophy’ wife’; but, much more outgoing. She would have been starting first grade when he was a senior. I have several friends that are married to girls much younger or married to men much older.
Livermush does NOT sound appealing to me at all. I agree with Kim from N Carolina. I remember tasting ‘steak tartar; for the first time. Very finely grounded up ‘raw’ steak. I did it just because my boss at the time had made it when he catered a party. I guess if you liked rare steak, you might have like it; I don’t want my steak to ‘moo’ at me; but, I do like it ‘medium rare’ … with just a little pink to the middle. I have had to send it back to get it just a little better cooked. Logan’s will ‘make it right’ (even if they have to start all over and cook a new one). A lot of things I won’t send back; but will carry it home in a ‘doggy box’ and cook it for my meal the next day. When we go out to eat, I always cut my meal in half; and drag it to the side; and, take it home with me to eat the next day (or day after).
It is gorgeous today … I might walk the paths that my DH cut; and, then get into the pool for a while.
Love, Lenora

Just heard that Flo is doing better and will be back at the kennel with her sister tomorrow. Then they will discuss with DS the best way to proceed. He says he will sleep tonight.

Hello ladies. Everything is going as expected here today. Cather is out and everything works ok there, pain pump will be coming off soon. We have seen the more morphine he uses, the more itching he has. No rash, just itching. So it's Toradol now. Discharge was planned for Tuesday but his surge said that since it is holiday weekend, the ostomy nurse hasn't seen us at all and his nurse, even though she is very competent has never put any kind of ostomy bag on. She would have to have one of the other nurses do it. So dr will hold off until Wednesday. But yikes, that seems soon also. But he said 5-7 days before. I just hadn't thought of the holiday weekend.
I am bad in that I have not been logging my food since I have no idea what is in this stuff. I am mindful of what I eat. Last night we waited to long to go to the cafeteria and only thing was open was the refrigerator stuff and I had a ham and cheese sandwich and cottage cheese with peaches. My jaw hurt enough it was hard to eat the sandwich.
Becca I hope everything is going ok with you and your husband

Breakfast by chef KIRBY. Took the kids one at a time while KIRBY stayed with the other two. As soon as we get the water Floyd lays down in it. Bullwinkle trots around like a young girl.

joyce sounds like DH is progressing nicely if they are talking about discharge. Hope the nurses are treating you all well. It is hard to find decent healthy choices to eat in the hospital, go figure! Don't even worry about counting calories right now. Just take care of yourself
When I get home from DC I will post a beautiful pic from Arlington cemetery. Got to hear taps (so moving) as well as changing of the guard what an honor to stand on this hallowed ground. Karen from ny0 -

Heather: I'm happy to her that your DS's adoptive dog is well and that he'll be able to proceed with the adoption.
Pip: It looks like you and the "kids" are having a great time. :bigsmile:
We went out to lunch at a Mexican restaurant & then did some recreational browsing at a newly opened store in our area. We're back home now and DH is having a nap.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! For our international friends, Per Wiki: Memorial Day honors the nation's war dead from the Civil War onwards; marks the unofficial beginning of the summer season. (traditionally May 30, shifted by the Uniform Holidays Act 1968) Memorial Day was originally called Armistice Day & was set aside to honor the Union Veterans for their service during the Civil War. Over the years it has come to include those who served on both sides of the Civil War & in other conflicts that came later. Veteran's Day originated to honor soldiers from WWI but over time came to honor veterans of all wars. Labor Day is in September & honors workers. Can you guess what I taught?

ohhh sun is out today, and I laid on the balcony in my shorts and bra..ok it really LOOKS like a swimming suit top, I swear. Getting tan lines do suck though, I hate them... lol!! Husband is getting more tired these days, and got emotional watching the movie where George C. Scott plays PATTON. Took me back to when he did that daily. I looked over to him saying....ok cut that out, you can't get teary now. I do tell him he is managing all this really well. He is so itchy, a side effect of liver problems. That is driving him batty. Being that it is from the inside, any medications aren't really going to help, plus they are not good for the liver. Making him lasagna today for dinner. I have a mini loaf pan so I am going to layer individual ones in that. Plus I can make mine with the 2 lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup each of diced tomatoes, sauce, and moz cheese. I won't be measuring for his ones though... My son detests lasagna sadly, so I will just make him pasta and save some of the sauce for him. As you can tell I had a HUGE breakfast, so no snacks today!
((((((hugs)))) to everyone. If you can hug a veteran do so :-)

Joyce, indiana~ (((((hugs)))) to all you are going thru. Don't worry about food intake logging, you have enough on your plate friend! It is amazing how fast complicated surgeries heal, and how fast they get patients up and going out the door. When husband got his liver, he was out in a week. I thought, how crazy is that! Their explanation was that with his new liver, its safer at home than in a hospital with all the sickness there. Made sense, but I seemed to be doing a lot of tasks that nurses should be doing. I remember thinking, "I am not trained to do any of this". But we do it, and its fine. Chin up friend, normal is right around the corner..

I've been meaning to thank you as I have been using Duolingo to learn/relearn Spanish. I find that my receptive spanish is much better than my expressive. But it is so much fun completing the lessons. There is all kinds of help along the way and you end up feeling so accomplished. AND it's FREE!!

DIL and grandkids left today. Son decided he was also going with them and took the 2 dogs as well.. So now it is just me at home. Always have a hard time when they leave. Not sure what i should be doing now..0

Hi gals,
Cheri - at 56 it could be age discrimination - it doesn’t seem right but I hear it from a lot of folks over 50…
Smiles.
Kim from N. California
He is well aware that he may be up against this type of discrimination. Corporate employers must realized that the workforce is not "aging" out as it once did as many people are working way beyond traditional "retirement" age out of necessity. I feel so bad for him and he feels bad putting me through yet another relocation. Overall we are doing well but not sure how much longer it will last. We have the next two weeks of moving our 2 kids to their new apts. to focus on and I have a sneaking feeling that if he doesn't hear anything by the time we return here his attitude may turn south. Sigh...
