Kate, How do you do a screen shot on a tablet. I'd love that capability.
Janetr OKC
You hold down the on/off button and the home button simultaneously. You will hear a click that lets you know it was successful. Then you find the screenshot in you4 photos.
Easy Peasy!

My screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy is by sweeping the screen with the side of your hand. I use it a lot, but I sometimes have to give it several sweeps before it works.
Thanks Carol for your efforts re Lenora. Let's hope we hear something.

Lanette: I don't know whether our dog was tested for giardia. The initial problem was caused by stress from days of fireworks. He evidently burned out part of his digestive system with worry. Poor baby. I'll ask when I go in to pick up the medicine later today.
Peach: Thanks for messaging Lenora's sister. I hope she has positive news for us.
DH & I stayed home rather than travel to a family Thanksgiving celebration because we've both been under the weather. I can report that my headache is finally easing enough that I notice it a tiny bit of improvement. I don't think DH is to that point yet.

Katia: Do check with your veterinarian about giardia. My DH is a vet; and care should be taken as giardia can be transmitted between pets and people. It should be ruled out.

Today is National Tie One On Day!
"National Tie One on Day celebrates the apron as well as the past generations of women who wore them and it was also created as a day to bring joy to the life of someone in need and celebrate the spirit of giving."
Terry - Oh, no, so sorry you got so banged up! Hope it gives you an excuse to put your feet up and let people wait on you over the holidays!
Joyce - Oh, the tale of your brother's adult "son" breaks my heart. How sad that he hasn't been fully accepted into the family. It sounds like your mother was a real blessing to him. It's so kind of you to include him in your gift-giving.
Lisa - What a shame your grandson's dad is such a dick. Is there any chance he might grow up someday, or is he a hopeless case?
I don't own an apron, but I figuratively "tied one on" this morning with my contributions to Thanksgiving dinner. We're the only ones coming from out of town, and yet somehow I got tapped to make one of the most complicated items! I'm making cornbread dressing, cranberry salad, and roast cauliflower with cranberries. I've done all the baking, chopping, etc. We'll leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow, and when we get to Dad's condo I'll put everything together and cook it before we head over to my brother's for dinner.
I just dropped by for a quick skim and update before getting back to work on my paying job. We're leaning toward switching from our overpriced, useless insurance to a health-sharing ministry soon. As part of that I have to have a health coach until I meet my target weight. In preparation, I succumbed to the fitness tracker ball-and-chain and bought a Misfit Shine. Never wanted one, but it talks to MFP so it should be interesting to see what I can learn from it... starting with how to use the dang thing.
Happy turkey day to everyone who's celebrating it!

The only sweet potatoes they had at Kroger were humongous, so I am baking them in my new countertop roaster that Michele talked me into buying and Carol swears I will love. Thought I’d try it out before sticking a turkey in it. It’s pretty nice, but it is huge. It will have to live on a shelf in the garage when not in use.
I did my shoulder workout this morning, but instead of walking I put on my hiking boots and picked up sticks and pulled vines for an hour and 15 minutes in the “natural” area of my front yard. I got my 10,000 steps so I’m counting 3 miles! It looks so much better out there. Dave came out and blew the leaves out of the garage and off the driveway. It looks much more civilized.

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping I can join in on this thread and future +50 threads. Tomorrow is my 51st birthday. Yes, I'm a turkey this year! I've been on MFP for years but have recently re-upped my efforts since becoming pre-menopausal. Holy hot flash, Batman! I'm trying to get out of the overweight category for my height. (12lbs to go & 32 lbs to goal)
Today, 2 of my girls (22 & 16) and I did a 3 mile hike and then hit Aldi for a few Thanksgiving odds & ends. I had my 10,000 steps by 2 pm. I'm celebrating my birthday eve with some organic Merlot and 2 oz. of Brie (my guilty pleasures).9 -
Wow I am sweating after going out to feed critters this afternoon. Weather app says we have 97% humidity and it is over 60* out there. I am cleaning house today. We are having DS and his fiance and my DGD over for dinner tomorrow. We are also celebrating DH's birthday which is on Friday. Should be a good day. We are having ham instead of turkey because that is what DH wants.
Welcome to the newbies.
Sending healing angels to all who are ailing and congratulations to those with victories.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA2 -

We talk about what we are thankful for before our lunch every day (it's the meal we eat together) so every day is Thanksgiving. Our plan for tomorrow is simple. There will be no line dance class because of the holiday. We plan to have one of our favorite meals that we have all the time (Jake's homemade marinara sauce over spaghetti for him, cauliflower for me, with meatless meatballs and grated Parmesan. After our nap with the pets we'll go to the movies to see "Murder on the Orient Express". We'll be home early and in bed early.

Terry - that WAS Lenora's last post. Hope things are OK with your cousin. That sure was weird. I included my email with the card I sent Lenora. Hopefully, if she can't contact me someone in her family will.
Carol - thanks for messaging Lenora's sister.
Yvonne - I must admit, when I first saw "national tie one on day", an apron was the furthest thing from my mind....lol
drkatiebug - Lowes Foods had sweet potatoes on sale -- 37 cents. But they were astrononical in size, too.
moxley - welcome and happy birthday.
Bought a pair of pants from Belk's, they came in the mail today. Only they are a bit too short. I thought I might be able to wear an 8P Short, but they are a bit too short so I'll need to return them. That's one of the nice things about Belk, if they don't fit or you are unsatisfied with them, you can return them to the store. Then made icing for a cake I'll decorate when we get home. I made the icing today because I need to run the dishwasher before we go and I'll have extra room in it. I need to put the bowl from the icing in the dishwasher. It takes up a lot of room so since I have extra room today, I thought I'd make it and freeze it.

The roaster cooked the huge sweet potatoes to perfection. Hope it does the same with the turkey.4

Just a pop in to wish everyone who celebrates thanksgiving a happy one.
((Hugs)) to all those that need one.
Thanks to those trying to find out about Lenora.
Hope those not celebrating thanksgiving have a great day too.
Welcome to moxley and happy birthday.
Got some things done today that I could get done with one hand. DH is going to help with the turkey and dressing. DD is vegetarian and has no interest in anything to do with meat so she is helping with the sweet potato soufflé, peas, mashed potatoes, and any other menu items. We are having a couple that we know come up. They are both from Spain and he is a professor here. We have known them for a long time and they are like family so are invited every year. We will eat about 4:30 as DH and DD both have to work on Friday. I have the day off.
Dr office called and I’m scheduled to see the orthopedic specialist next week about my wrist. Hope I can get this half cast off as I’m already tired of it.
Well off to bed and book.

Lanette & w8goal4life: I made a note for myself to ask the vet about giardia. Thanks!
moxleymama6: Welcome to a great group.
We're home and happy. We've had word from DSIL that she will be on our side of the mountains while her daughter has surgery in a couple of weeks. That isn't very long from now and I'm looking forward to seeing her. Hopefully our niece will end up with better hearing afterwards.
It is not even 7:30 pm and I'm thinking about bed. I plan to get some rest and enjoy the day tomorrow. We're going to be at home with prime rib for dinner, great veggies, and our sweet dog.

I have an Amazon tablet. All you have to do it put your finger on a picture and it saves it. If it is a web address, like a utube video, just clink on the address and you get choices up top, to share, cut or copy. I have only shared or copied. It will say copied on your clipboard. Then when you want to put it in a text just hold your finger down and you will see the word paste. Then click and what you have saved on your clipboard will post.
Hopefully that helps.

Didn't we use to call s the phat chat????
Terry, you just better get used to that cast, you might have it awhile. Besides, you ,any have paid a pretty penny to get it on. Get your money's worth.
I have cousins that live in Seattle and they send us wonderful pictures of whales, light houses, ferris, anything coastal. It s beautiful there. Sometimes I do envy you but then at winter time. I am glad I a, here. Last winter we had 1.4 inches of snow. That is a little low for us and the prediction for this year is about 5-6. As long as that doesn't come all at once I am fine. We are kind of pansies regarding our cold weather here.
No dizziness today but I just don't feel up to snuff. Also a lot of sniffing. I have used my Salne nasal spray and have tried to blow my nose but there is nothing there. The house isn't buyer ready like Heathers is but this is my family and they know my housekeeping. I will put the cats things in the office tmorrow and at is about all. Mozart has never had his things in the office except for when we first got him. Will be curious to see how he reacts. I did misread a recipe and I may need to go to Walmart or Shnucks and get some sour cream for my corn casserole
Of to bed early. In was going to do so,e detective work on Lenora's face book site to see if I could message some one about her. I'm not sure if I have her as a friend. It I think I do. Thank you Peaches for doing it
Night night Joyce, Indiana1 -
I have messaged Lenora's sister on Facebook and asked her to let me know if Lenora is OK. I will let you know if she replies.I have messaged Lenora's sister on Facebook and asked her to let me know if Lenora is OK. I will let you know if she replies.
Oh, Carol, good idea. I forgot you went to school together. Thanks so much for doing that.

Lost my thoughts on previous posts. I will just start with what I read today.
Carol, Mary and all - He's a busy boy. He might not like butterflies but I guess he likes convertibles. I blocked him.
Terry - I hope your wrist feels better shortly. Darn Ice!
Cathy- Welcome. I am in Lethbridge.
Male manager leaving at the end of the month. That will put a strain on things. I now will be at work at 6 a.m. all next week.
Party plans continue. I am very disappointed that none of Larry's brothers will see fit to drive here for his celebration. They just don't show up for him. Oh, well, some of our friends will come.
Older brother was here today. He talked about his estrangement from 4 of his grandkids. This is through no fault of his but because of things their mother has said. He only ever did his best for those kids. He says that it no longer hurts but that is not true. I hear it in his voice and see it in his face.
Larry has put off coming back from Vancouver until Friday afternoon. I know he did this so he could get the most accomplished for our son on the condo. It is really weird thinking of him working with his ex on the condo. He says he really misses me and wishes I was there? Do I believe it?
My niece is coming to do some work for me tomorrow. I have the day off. Greysyn will go with me in the afternoon to get the rest of the food and supplies for the party. I was really hoping that Jheri would make the cakes but she is too busy. That is a good thing. She got great reviews for the face painting that she did for the Hospital's Christmas tree festival. She has 8 more holiday windows booked.
Chico and I are off to bed

Thank you to those checking on Lenora...
Yvonne - you asked, "What a shame your grandson's dad is such a dick. Is there any chance he might grow up someday, or is he a hopeless case?" And the answer is probably not. He's lied to my grandson, told him he was airborne and jumped out of planes--he did not, but told him that after my daughter's husband went through airborne training and became a paratrooper. He lies to him a lot, but my daughter just gently corrects it and goes on. I can't be around him without getting angry, so I stay away.
I am up far too early on Thanksgiving morning. We had our spread early, for our departing son-in-law, so today's just another day. I'm OK with that. My gut's pretty unhappy with the crab quesadilla from dinner last night. Corey's crockpot masterpiece was kinda awful--new recipe he was trying out--so we just gave up and went out. Will try again today...
Love y'all,
Lisa in NC3 -
drkatiebug - The roaster will cook the bird as well as it cooked the sweet potatoes. Have you ever cooked the bird upsidedown? We do, and one year it came out so tender, that the meat, literally, fell off the bones. You know how you see in the cartoons when someone takes the turkey out of the oven, puts it on the table and the tukey falls apart? Well, that is eactly what happened to us. The good part was that we didn't even have to dirty the knives....lol
Joyce - I don't believe Lenora has a Facebook site. If I'm not mistaken, she deactivated it.
Not sure why, but I just can't seem to get to sleep. Maybe it's just the anticipation of going to Jess'.
