Felicia ~ Great looking boy! Yes, he does remind me of the way my older brother dressed growing up in the 50's.0

Allie love the saying what part of NO do you not understand is it the N the O or just plain NO! They will continue to take advantage of you as long as you let them. It is to their benefit. Use the skills you learned dealing with Tom to help you. Ranting is only temporary relief. Making a plan and sticking to it to not let others take advantage of you is regaining your power.
I know you want to have Faith but it is not good for you or her if you feel you are being taken advantage of. I do think it is okay to ask what happened to being paid for doing this too because they said they would. Again it is to their advantage if they do not pay. They have enough money for a boat they have enough for what they agreed to pay you. Think of it as exercising your new assertive muscles. Hopefully they will pay and then do something for yourself with the money.

Happy Monday Ladies!
Penny, loved the pictures of the snow. It is so pretty when you don't' have to shovel it.
Kelly, I'm sending y our MIL good wishes.
Felecia, glad the presentation went well. Listen to your body and lay low. The world is not going to end if you take care of yourself by resting. You’ll get back on track when you feel better.
Joyce, that was an unusual service. I'm sure it is sad for everyone that the man passed.
Wendy, loved the horse pictures. They are beautiful.
DJ, sorry to hear that DH and DD are not getting along. It's hard to watch I'm sure. Just remember that their relationship is theirs to figure out. Best to stay out of it and just walk away. Just tell yourself they own the problem as is not yours to fix.
Katla, thanks for the advice in reference to my losing stuff I’ve typed. Hope your tummy gets better and you hear your scan results soon
Michele in NC, Don’t wait too long to see a dr if your leg is changing. Maybe call and see if they want you to go in.
Dana, thanks for the advice. I didn’t know about the emoji. Sounds like the storm really came through!
Lenora, so nice of your boss to single you out. Good answer to the question your sister asked you. AAHHH family.
NY Karen, my problem is after dinner eating too. I plan to have snacks in the evening.
Machka, sorry to hear about the van. I’d love to be car free too but in Vermont you really have to have a car. We did go down to one though and that has saved some money.
Julie, sounds like you have a good plan.
Well my lunch hour is over so I’ll have to close for now. Hugs and best wishes to everyone.
Terry in VT

Our painter friend has started doing our hall, stairs and landing. Lots to do. Today was mainly prep and we had to keep doors shut to avoid dust getting everywhere. Good job we really like him. Had to exercise, get toilletted and washed etc with him just outside the doors.
I was more than happy to go food shopping with DH after lunch, except that I left him to shop while I went off next door to see if there was anything I fancied for my birthday present from him. There wasn't. I did buy a short sleeved t shirt in a lovely deep marine blue, very cheap, and a new spotty folding umbrella. Light enough for "just in case".
Made delicious venison stew tonight in my IP. DH has made stewed pears for dessert. I tried a new alcohol free beer which was ok, but not great. All the low alcohol ones have a metallic aftertaste. I put real beer in the stew.
Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

Barbie,
I've had the DEXA bone scan twice. Both times I wore jeans, they covered me with a sheet and I just unzipped and scooted my pants down a bit. They just took the shots of the lower back and upper femur as I recall. So hopefully, if you have the scan, you can wear your jeans!

Well done Barbie!
Katla - I Googled foods rich in copper and dark chocolate is one of them.
Just saw on TV tonight - peas are very good for the brain. So is mature cheese. Hooray!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx2 -
Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Friends,
Katla, I hope your tummy was better today.
Joyce, I really miss Sylvia too and hope her health is okay. She kept having colon problems. And I really hated the way Miriam left us. Not long after I started here one of the ladies emailed me with a very unwelcoming note and I considered leaving. Luckily I talked to Barbie about it and decided to stay. Sometimes I think unhappy people don’t like happy people to be happy, but that is just MHO. All I know is I love you guys.
M, too bad about your vehicle. The upside is it’s always fun to get a new to us car. I hope you find what you want at a good price.
Felecia, your son is so handsome. You must be a proud Mama.
Terry, I know I can’t fix the problem between DH and DD. It still ties my stomach in knots when I hear them. But trust me, I do stay out of it and as far away as possible. Lol
I’m off to a Moose meeting so will post this in case I don’t have time to read more when I get home.

Did 1 segment of the Beach Body Sampler DVD, then the extremepump class (skipped holding my plank today). The plan for tomorrow is to do a Violet Zacki Weight Loss Cardio DVD.
janetr - a blood clot was the first thing I thought of too. Vince looked at my leg and it doesn't seem to be any different from the other leg. I do plan to go to the MD today and will bring it up to him. I guess I'm just not used to feeling this run down. It isn't like me at all. I'm the person who is on the go all the time. And I want this GONE
Meg - I have an appt with the doc today at 1:10
Well...I don't have a blood clot. The MD saw the lump and is going to treat it like cellulitis.
Have to run and get the antibiotic but wanted to let you all know that it isn't a blood clot

Tere in RVA: I've always been horse crazy and never owned one. Horse ownership is outside my budget and living circumstances. We live in a townhouse with a lovely view and no accommodations for a large animal. Lessons are a perfect compromise for me. Lately I've been riding a friend's horse for her. That would be Arrow, and I mention him from time to time. His owner has a sick husband and a lot of responsibilities so we're doing one another a favor when I ride Arrow. He gets exercise that she can't give him, and I get horse time. If this situation changes, I'd consider a partial lease somewhere. :flowerforyou:
Barbie: I'm happy that you're going to talk to your doctor about bone density. I wore yoga pants and a t-shirt for my test--no zippers or buttons. I'm waiting for my current test results. I'm hoping to find no losses. I take a medication for bone density, Alondrate 70 MG. This is a time-release version and I only have to take it once a week. I didn't want to put up with daily doses. You have to take it first thing, before even brushing your teeth, and you can't have anything else for at least 30 minutes while you sit upright. The regular version requires this regimen daily. I tried it and didn't like it. :noway: I can handle once a week.
Michele: I'm sure you've had your doctor appointment by now. I hope it went well and you got some positive results and any needed treatment. (((hugs)))
Yoga today was a delight. One of my fellow students is a Veterinary Technician and let me know that my riding instructor will be working in her vet's clinic a couple of days a week. This is my teacher's final year of training and working in an active practice is an important part of the program. My teacher is not going to be teaching for the foreseeable future because she is busy completing her own training so I'm on my own for now.

Do u ever get on the scale and u don’t believe it? I’m not changing my weight thing yet until I am consistently on that #
I have a rule that I must weigh the same amount three times in a row before I post it. I might weight every day but it's more likely every third or fourth day that I get around to weighing. So if I wait for three consecutive measures then I'm not disappointed when the next day I pop back up. Which is much too common for my liking.
I get my car back tomorrow. Very happy about that. A girl turned left into me two weeks ago and crunched my car. She claimed it was my fault but she got the ticket.... um, left turns always yield girlie. It's always sad when your car gets crunched, even a minor one like mine was (if you call $4500 damage minor, but the car shop said it was minor and a quick fix... new door, straighten a few sheet metal pieces, paint etc). Takes the "new" off of a vehicle, even if I've had it three years! lol
Still helping flood victims here in Houston. I think it's going to be a long long fall/winter/spring for some folks. Predictably the price of sheet rock is rather high right now.

Well DH will have surgery on Thursday. Supposedly the doctor said he has a small hernia that may or may not be the problem with his extended stomach.....that he may have to see another stomach doctor. So I'm feeling a little shaky about it. I know DH is an Agent Orange Vet and they have had various stomach ailments. I am staying cool, call, collected, and supportive.
DJ: I am glad you didn't let anyone chase you away. I would have really missed you!
Tere in RVA.4 -
I got my bone density results. My lumbar spine has improved! I was hoping to hold my own, and I am very happy with this outcome.11
