WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2016
Replies

Marcelyn in Houston – For a ‘first’ time of painting from a picture (I am assuming that is the picture to your right) and apparently left to their own devices – pretty good at showing their interpretation. No matter what you ‘think’ about the teacher; always praise their work. Kids thrive on that. As an artist who started drawing at the age of 4; and, my parents ‘finally’ able to talk a woman into taking me on as a 7-year-old – she was amazed that I could sit for 2 hours and paint what she had set up (or from looking at pictures in National Geographic) and picking my own to paint. I loved it and she pretty much left me to my own devices. She taught me several things – to pick out shapes, how to make shadows, and how to make some ‘sit’ on the table and not look like it was floating on air. I took private lessons from her through middle school; and, then my parents sent me to a well-known portrait artist and I really learned a lot from him. After a 3-hour lesson, he would allow me and the other student to stay later, if he was working on one of his portraits – as long as we just watched. He did portraits in “Crayola Color Crayons” … that looked so ‘life-like’ you felt as ‘if’ you could touch the people (mostly children). We could ‘ask’ questions; but, it always seemed that ‘if’ I questions might have been ‘spot on’ … he would always stop and tell us he had to ‘go see about his Mama’. As soon as I turned 16 – I was allowed to drive the 25-mile one-way trip on Saturdays. We could stay as late at 2:00pm. Back in the late 60’s he was commanding $600 a head – which was a ‘fortune’ at that time. The first few lessons, I learned how to ‘make a color wheel’ (using only the primary colors – red, yellow, and blue); and, a gray scale using all the combinations of the colors on the wheel, so that I could ‘correctly’ make the ‘shadows’ without using a tube of ‘black’ paint. Black ‘is’ a ‘color’ … ‘white’ is the ‘lack of color’. If I was ever stranded somewhere and could have what I needed – I could use the 3 primary colors and make just about any color I wanted to make. I’d need the ‘white’ but, not the ‘black’.
Beautiful granddaughters and they looked quite pleased with their paintings. If that is you, in the picture with them, you look amazingly like my DDnL#1’s mother. Keep encouraging them to draw and paint. Just let them ‘tell you about their drawing or painting’. The worst thing is to ‘assume’ that you ‘know’ what their subject is … and maybe ‘why’ they use the color(s) they do. Just because a child uses ‘black’ doesn’t mean he is ‘disturbed’ … he might tell you that is the ‘only’ color of crayon … that was not broken and have the paper wrapper torn off it. I did not ‘share’ my crayons for that very reason. LOL!
If I was an ‘art teacher’ … I’d probably prefer children between 5th – 8th grades. They really ‘suck it up’ at that age. Encourage them as much as you can … you’ve got 3 budding artists on your hands. When I went off to 'art school' ... I began to 'hate' art and anything associated with it; but, we went to school from 8:00AM - 5:00PM and had about 1 hour to go get something to eat. Shoved down our throats 8 hours a day; 5 days a week, and that did not even 'count the time' spent on projects. I know there was a 'reason' for me to start working at the deli I went to everyday ... met my DH there.
Re and Kim – My 401K was taken with me when I retired on a disability … the guy who does my investments has the same things with his money that he gets mine into … that way he can decide when to ‘get out’ if need be. He’s got a ‘good eye’ on finances. We used my retirement from my job and put a down payment on the land we live on. Back them, my employer matched dollar-for-dollar that I invested. It change long after I left.
GLo North Shore Ma Grrrrrrrr – Have you tried opening up a word processing program and putting it ‘side-by-side’ to the MFP community and answering comments there; and, when you are finished … cutting and pasting it to the yellow block at the end of the postings? I find this is the best way for me to ‘almost always’ make sure that I don’t lose any of my responses. Just a suggestion.
KJLaMore – {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}} and lots of prayers. So sorry that y’all are going through all this. Tonight, get in the shower, as hot as you can stand it … and cry … it will help, then go get a bottle of wine (and cheese) and ‘whine’ if you need to. We’re all here for you! LOL! (Lots of Love). Both my older sisters are breast cancer survivors.
Re – I don’t think she is ‘looking’ for more drugs … just a ‘lot of attention’. I guess I am getting so ‘impatient’ because it seems like it has gone on 'forever', since October … get one thing taken care of, then she goes out an reinjures it. But, since she does put her weight on it … like when she is running hard … I’m trying not to get too upset about it. DH told me that ‘when’ I was telling her to ‘put her foot down’ … she was beginning to roll over in a ‘submissive pose’ … so now I have to tell her ‘walk on all 4’s’ and she will then try to put it down. Vet said it will be tender until the nail grows back out.
I know you are excited about you NSV … going down a size makes you really feel good. I know when I went through my clothes … to try the Marie Kondo style of folding/hanging clothes and I could take half my closet to the ‘consignment shop’ … I did it. No more ‘big’ clothes that just hung in my closet or took up drawer space.
Beth near Buffalo – A friend of mine is sending ‘positive reinforcement sayings’ … not only to help me; but, to make her feel less depressed. I’m married to a very ‘positive’ (most of the time) DH – and he keeps me pretty motivated. I did not get in the pool today; because for the past 2 days (all day) … I’ve been ‘trying’ to find a ‘mistake’ in my bank statements that showed up in February. GGrrrrrr!!!! I think my OCD kicked in. I hate not knowing right to the penny I have in the bank.
Becca – It is my belief that God does not give you more than you can handle; sometimes I wish he did not ‘trust’ me so much. God won’t take you to something that He won’t walk you through. Seems like sometimes he is ‘testing’ us to see just how strong we can be. Right now, I ‘like’ for him to take my migraine away. Taking a ‘step back’ and letting it lie, is sometimes difficult for me to do.
Lots of love coming you and your husband’s way. Hope things go well for you.
Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE – I know what you mean about ‘talking’ to one another. Seems like the generation of our DGC is always with the noses stuck to a cellphone screen. But, I guess they get it honestly, DDnL#1 keeps her cellphone ‘on’ 24/7 and I am convinced that FB is her ‘home page’.
Heather – Be very careful traveling. So much evil in the world. Prayers for those in Istanbul, Turkey and their tragedy at the airport. Keep your eyes open and make sure you are aware of your surroundings.
DJ – DDnL#1 is interviewing for jobs. Got turned down for ‘unemployment’ but, I figured that’d happen under the circumstances … she ‘did’ walk out the door after her boss told her that ‘if she did so, not to come back’. He has treated her like a ‘slave’ since she started working there 12 years ago. She has had to ‘beg’ for raises; only has 1 week of paid vacation; and, ‘if’ she does anything for her girls, he docks her vacation time. No ‘sick’ time … she had to use ‘vacation’ days – even ‘if’ her girls were ‘sick’ and HAD to stay home. She had an interview today; but, the job only paid $18,000 a year. Next week she has a job interview that is ‘local’ and pays a lot more. It might be a bit more ‘iffy’ about stability; but, maybe she will be ‘taking someone’s place’ and not being ‘hired’ so they can ‘catch up their work’. Partly funded by county and partly funded by UGA. I sure hope she gets it; or gets ‘something’ soon. This has been a stain on my DOS – which means he brings it to work with him and then DH gets ‘stressed’. And, then … he ‘fusses’ about it to me … I just get up and walk away. He ‘gets the point’ and we don’t have to ‘mince any words’. DOS and his family seem to ‘struggle’ all the time financially; that’s not a problem for DYS and his family. They have ‘different’ struggles … and that has been ‘heartbreaking’. I guess they’ll be trying the I.V.F. procedure. Constantly praying that it works for them. They’ve come so far with the procedure in the past 20± years since “Baby Brown” was conceived that way.

6th place in WA state, 1st place female! if no one else rides, i will move up to 5th place and gotta recheck the national standings after the end of day tomorrow4 -
KJ: ((((hugs))))
We're here for you.
Heather: I think you are making a smart move to book an airport hotel. I do that frequently, especially in winter.
Meg: So sorry about Benny. Hope it's not anything serious. He is a lucky beagle to have you as his caretaker.
Barbie: Bummers we can't walk together. Hope Jake is feeling better and you are getting ready to return home. I have so enjoyed the afternoons in Seattle. The new profile photo is from today's excursion to the Chihuly Museum and Gardens. Glass art and a flourishing garden in 76 degree weather = a beautiful combo.
My room has a view of the sparking Pacific. I'm going to have a cup of tea, put on a movie and watch the sunset. Tomorrow, I'll be checking out and heading up Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula.
Stay well. We can do this.

Oh believe me, this grandma thinks they all did a wonderful job. This is the second class they have done with me, the other one was a cat and they all had such fun with it. I think I kind of irritated the instructor because I refuse REFUSE to tell the girls to make it look just like the example. I tell them the subject, which is usually very obvious and then let them go with it. The only thing I often have to do is tell them to lay off the heavy paint. That's an issue only because of drying time so they can finish the painting in time to go home. lol I never tell them to straighten a line or change a color, it's their painting. And their parents all react with great praise, in fact all of them hang the paintings up in their houses. Everyone is quite supportive of the girls.
Next up is a grandson outing. We're going to a baseball game.
I'm all for that, I love baseball but I never get to see my team now that the Astros have changed leagues. Boooo

P.S. - The painting to my right, or on the left side of the photo that I am holding is not the example, that's my painting. The example is hidden behind one of the girls on the photo right. Even my picture didn't turn out looking like theirs, which is fine, I'm happy with it.

Rori: I'm happy you are enjoying Seattle. Port Townsend is gorgeous, too. Maybe you'll fall in love with the area and decide to stay a while. That would be nice. :bigsmile:1

Did an hour of deep water class. The plan for tomorrow is to do Kelly Coffee Meyers Body Training DVD.
DJ - I agree with you that typing on my phone s****, big time. How kids can type so fast is beyond me. Guess that explains why their grammar is so poor. Always using "u" for "you" and things like that. I'm like you, I weigh once/day, usually on my Wii. This just helps me to see where I am. But my "official" weigh-in is on Saturdays. At our condo there is an electric gate to get in, but there is also a "walk out" where we can use our key. hmmmm....that's a question for the Board, what do they do when the power goes out, does the gate no longer operate? I wonder..... We just use a key to get in the pool area
Joyce - I find all of the ileostomy info very interesting. Things that I never would have thought of (like what happens when you pass gas. I don't remember Vince's bag blowing up, but I'll ask him) Update: he had a colonoscopy (which was reversed). When the intestines made gas, it went into the bag. But since the bag wasn't airtight it slowly leaked out
Becca - proud of you for doing all that driving! Vent all you need to, we're all here for ya.
Re - this is the first time ever that I've heard of white clay.
Chris - WOOHOO!!!!
Exercised, then went to the post office, then to the Humane Society to drop off my aluminum, then home and since it was still a bit early got dinner ready to microwave, then in the pool, out and took a shower to get the sunscreen off, off to ceramics. First, tho, one of my neighbors volunteers at the soup kitchen so I'll take her some Cool Whip that I got on sale (with my coupon, it only cost 25 cents). Afterwards want to stop at Lowe's Foods, they have Vince's ice cream on sale, and I need some more tofu and cottage cheese.
Marcelyn - I agree with Heather, you ARE skinny. Really hope the next instructor of the class is better with kids.
Meg - have you ever used a pill shooter with Benny? The biggest trick I've found is that you have to get the plunger far enough back in their throats so that the gag reflex kicks in and they get the pill. But it, literally, takes about 2 seconds to give Loki his capsule. If you're interested I'll find out the name of the place where we got ours. They do sell them on ebay, but they are outrageous. Vince found this Humane Society in FL that sells them for something like $5.
barbie - prayers for Jake that the pain is gone.
KJ - my heart goes out to you. It's so difficult. Be kind to yourself.
Re - "you've come a long way baby", lookin' good
Becca - you never cease to amaze me with your strength. You and Joyce and so many others
barbie - sometimes I think the patients get better food than what's offered in the cafeteria! Keeping you and Jake in my thoughts
maryjean - welcome, be sure to come back now, ya hear????
Lenora - Vince is the same way as you, he has to know down to the penny where we stand. You know something? Maybe you've already done this. But there were times when, say, we'd write a check for $5.37 and the bank would cash it for $5.34.
Better get ready for tomorrow. Maybe I'll go shooting with Vince. I have a suspicion that he'd like for me to go, but I'm not sure.

Lenora thanks for tip but I'm using my iPad Air & Premium MFP. I know it would be easier on my lap top but it's not as convenient...might have to.
GLo North Shore, Ma0 -
Aw ladies, you make me cry with all your kind words. I don't feel brave at all.
On a brighter note, my middle Navy son called me, after his carrier arrived in Honolulu Hawaii!! It was soooo nice hearing his voice! I miss him so much. The last time I saw that kid was last October! I had my youngest son chat with him, nice to see brothers bonding. My youngest son and middle were like twins 5 yrs apart, but mentally joined at the hip growing up. I think since middle son has left home for the Navy, he has always remembered his younger brother as that cute little 8th grader, but now that 8th grader is taller than him and a Senior in high school next year. AND in the Navy too.
We are going to try to SKYPE this weekend, hopefully my dear husband will be home to do that. I gave my middle son the hospitals' phone number to call his father. I know dear husband appreciated that. He is already getting squirrel-ly at the hospital.
Was curious as to how you all handle stress? What are some remedies that help you?
For me I try to:
-play pianos I see
-color
-do crosswords and Suduko puzzles (in pen) every day. I have a crossword dictionary (printed in the 1970's though, to help me with some of the harder words. It's nice to learn new thinks and that distracts me from stresses I feel.
-write cards to people. Putting down my feelings, how I feel about them etc, makes my life more manageable. Knowing I have people I care about, takes the focus off my troubles.
Speaking of cards, if there are some of you that like sending and rec'ing cards, you can send me your address and I shall send you one. Just put it in a private message using the Mail tab. You know with stamps and everything:-)

Hugs to everyone whether they need it or not.
Had my hair cut today. It takes about 25 minutes to get there as she lives out of town and was worth staying with her when she moved her salon into her home. She gabs a lot and I really need that although sometimes i feel like I need to put duck tape over her mouth so I can talk about something. You know you do use your hairdresser/barber like you do a therapist. She had really had a blow up at her husband and we really got to talking about husbands as we both have been with our men for a long time. We determined that you have to find a man that you can trust a man to stay with you through the really tough times but even though you may feel like killing him through the small things, like socks on the floor, you have to remember those big, tough times when he is your rock.
As soon as I get home from appointment, I have to get home, wet my hair, blow dry it and roll it. I don't pay her to do it as it is the same hair cut for many years. I wouldn't have to be so pressed on time if we didn't do so much talking. She has a golden doodle who is so precious. Bailey got her first real bone this afternoon while I was there. At first she didn't know what to do with it but by the time I left she was enjoying it. But as soon as I get home, we immediately go out and then there is church and choir practice. I get home around 9. So from 2:30 to 9 I am going strong.
Well Charlie's bag has stayed on since yesterday at 2 PM!!!!! I almost hate to take it off tomorrow when we see the specialist but she needs to see his skin and see if she can find a solution to keeping a bag on. I already have my little bag together with the sample bags she ordered from the company, a bag I had from one of my big sample boxes, and the medicated powder I have to put on his skin. As you know, we are not morning people and this appointment is at 9:45! Then I have an appointment with my doctor at 1PM. In the evening I have 'dinner with the pastor'. He started that this year. Every month he has different letters of the alphabet coming and tomorrow night is mine. He loves to cook, desserts are one of his favorites plus grilling. So I have no idea what we are having. We have a lot of people with last name beginning with H and there are a lot of kids so they set up a lot of tables outside and just had a big grill out. The weather we are having now would be perfect for that. Going with some of my favorite friends.

Take a nap
Read a book
Watch a favorite program on TV

Love to all!!! Hugs too...
Becca - a good question, my quick answer was a glass of wine, but not so true anymore...
wine
herbal tea
visit with a friend or visit here
cuddle with Levi (my dog)
work - that sounds weird but it is mind consuming and most of my stress is related to $$$ so that works
kim from N. cal0 -
KJ prayers!
Becca hope all goes well tomorrow.0 -
Caught up but not much time to post now...
Re: Can't seem to send you a message from my phone but I sent you a friend request. If that doesn't work, I'll send you a message when I am back home.
Melanie - lots of reasons you may not lose for a week... Stress, hormones, retaining water... If you are accurately tracking your calories eaten then the weight will come off in time. I would not worry about changing anything unless you remain stagnant for a few weeks.
Joyce - Hang in there {{{hugs}}}}
Barbie - Thinking of you and Jake. {{{hugs}}}
Vicki - Hope you get good news and that the doctor was able to get everything. Have a fun vacation.
Mary - thinking of you and your daughter. {{{hugs}}}
DJ - I can think of many worse places than a pool to be stuck for two hours. I do hope the lock company has an answer for you.
Becca - {{{hugs}}}
Allie - Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy your trip.
KJ - thinking of you and your sister. {{{hugs}}}

Becca- I will be praying for your DH and family. (((Hugs))) I love doing Suduko too. I also like to take a walk, make plans for the month by looking up events in the area and filling in my planner, water the flowers and play with my dog.
Joyce - yeah! It sounds like you got it working right. You are such an awesome wife! Charlie is fortunate to have you caring for him.
Heather - great picture of your DGC. I'm sorry that you have been under stress with the vote. I hope there is a silver lining!
Mary from Minnesota0 -
Allison- Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great time celebrating tomorrow! Enjoy your time with your Dad.
Mary from Minnesota0 -
We are off to see the grandchildren today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLIE!!!!!!!
Thanks all for being so understanding about my airport hotel. DH just doesn't get it. Plus this is an airport we never use,so I wouldn't even have the comfort of familiarity. Plus it's January. Brrrr.
Talk later!

Hello Ladies;
Once again, it is late here, but, I wanted to say goodnight and thank y'all for the kind words about the picture. It really is a horrid shot - such an odd stance I had when my friend took the pic. I will find my own camera, one of these days and take a picture where I am standing up straight! I need an "after" shot to go with my old before and after shots from ten years ago - when I was at maximum density.
I am a long way down from there - but only the 11 pounds down since I started tracking here at MFP....and 26 pounds down from my "coasting" weight of 275. I bounced around 275 for something like ten years after I lost the initial weight back in the day. 15 pounds dropped off on their own when my Hubby had surgery on his ankle this fall. First, I wasn't cooking for him for almost two months while he was in hospital and physical rehab and I ate differently when I wasn't catering to his dietary whims... Second, when he did come home, he had to be in a wheelchair for a while. Shockingly enough, pushing him around, hauling the chair in and out of the car - these are very good exercise and the pounds disappeared.
I might weigh myself every day - but always around the same time, on the medical scale at my gym... and because my weight does fluctuate madly - sometimes five pounds in a day - one way or another - I don't panic if the scale shows something unexpected. Nor do I count a low weight number until the scale shows the same number two days in a row... so, my weight appears to drop off in fits and starts - because of the fluctuation.
Since the number on the scale isn't the most important thing to me - just an indicator of overall success - I try not to get wrapped up in the fact that it is taking AGES to lose weight... lol. I am way more excited - and motivated - by the loss of TWO pants sizes than I am about any number on the scale. Just have to keep chugging away on the elliptical - and keep doing those abdominal crunches... and measure out those &*#^&^ almond M&M's into something like half ounce packages...
I don't deny myself these little treats - but I know myself well enough to know - if there is an open bag of delicious candy within arms reach, it's going into my mouth. So - my solution is to open the bag - in the kitchen - and immediately measure it out into "servings" into ziplock bags. I put them into the cupboard - and only take one of them out at a time. There's nothing wrong with eating one serving of M&M's... once in a while. *avoids opening the bag for another day - when she might have time to put the above plan into action*
Well Beautiful Women... tomorrow will be along before I am ready for it... So I am off to sleep.
Hugs all round!

Morning ladies~
I had written a long post yesterday afternoon from work on my phone and it cut it off. grrrr
anyway I remember what I said, saying I was being selfish yapping on about all my woes, when,Barbie,Becca and Karen are going through so much more stress and stuff than me, so for that I apologize..
yes I am awake and having a cup of tea..I am all packed and ready to go, Tom did say have a good time and gave me a kiss goodbye,but he is so consumed about Homer that think he forgot my birthday,but thats ok.. my dad will forget too lol
leaving for the airport in an hour or so . will check in a bit later..
Love to you all
p.s.- ha ha Tom did forget my birthday and he felt horrible lol2 -
Morning all... and for KJ and Becca, many hugs. Barbie, hope Jake's surgery did exactly what y'all hope.
Since we're all looking for good news, my DH got a job yesterday, they hired him on the spot at Texas Workforce when he went in to interview with them for a job constructing a solar plant. He starts next Wednesday. While this job is only a couple months long, they're constructing five in the area, and the good ones stay on from one job to the next. It's hourly, but good pay for the area, and I'll bet dollars to donuts he'll be supervising a crew by the end of the first job, if not the first day. It's six ten-hour days, 60 hours a week, but he was doing that anyway, and at least he'll be able to have one day completely off, something he hasn't had since we lived at the ranch. With the overtime, he'll be making what he's making now. Almost to the penny. Weird how that worked out.
He's still on vacation, and headed out to the ranch to start moving our stuff this morning--his tools first, of course, but they're probably worth more than what we've got out there in total. We live pretty leanly, and literally built all our furniture except the loveseats. Hoping one of the Mexican men will be able to help him load what's too heavy to lift alone... unloading is always easier for some strange reason.
He'll meet his boss out at the ranch tomorrow afternoon to show him how and where to turn the well pumps on and off for the hunting camp--and when he went in to give notice, his boss told him we were right, he'd been told by the owner to advertise for a replacement for him as soon as he said he wanted to live in town. More power to them on replacing him--it's not that easy to get someone to live that far from town--and of course, limits the spouse's chance of getting a job, as witness my experience. I hope they get someone with half Corey's experience, ability, patience and tolerance for their chaotic situation--they didn't really know what they had, but they're about to shortly--EVERYthing breaks on the ranch, and nobody out there has any mechanical knowledge. They know cows, not cars. The owners aren't bad people, just don't have a clue what they're asking because they don't live out there--they live in the DFW Metroplex, where everything's right down the street.
Anyway, we've also got a line on an RV, up in Odessa (90 miles away) that is older, but looks pretty good--and a great price. We're supposed to go look at it Saturday, and hopefully he still has it by then. That would get us living at the warehouse legally, pretty much as soon as it's parked out back. Fingers crossed it works out--it would mean not having to take a loan out, something we'd much prefer.
Up fairly late this morning, nearly 4 a.m., but it took Benadryl to do it, had a really hard time sleeping (wonder why?). Will walk Daisy this morning as soon as it's light, trying to do that as much as I can--and while it's for her sake, it sure won't hurt me to get in that routine, either!
Allie, my feelings for Tom's treatment of you are unprintable--but I won't urge you to leave anymore. As long as you still feel you should stay, for whatever reasons, you'll stay. Like someone else said, we teach people how to treat us--and you've taught him it's ok to treat you like a non-person, like a servant. All we do by sympathizing is help build your resentment, not your resolve.
Second cup of coffee in the works, then getting Quickbooks caught up before first light.
Love y'all without reservation--YOU are my stress relief, often enough,
Lisa in sunny, hot West Texas2 -

Lisa Your post this morning was awesome. Your husband and you both have such great work ethics, and you are both dynamic and good and...well..."you is kind, you is smart, you is important!"
Congrats to your husband for finding that job. Whoever hired him was just plain lucky to be in the right place at the right time and recognize a winner.
Hope the RV is perfect for you.
You are spot on about the enabling.
Re I like how you handle the M&M's. If only I had done that with the pretzels.
