    Karen - just jump right in, the water's fine! Losing 15 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. You kept it off, that's a good thing

    Viv - welcome back, you were missed

    Rita - thanks for popping in. Love hearing from you

    Barbara - check out this link: https://www.amazon.com/Bosu-3-D-System-Balance-Trainer/dp/B00IL2TR80/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1514656028&sr=8-2&keywords=bosu+bar The bosu goes in the middle

    Well, made my apple pie. Now we'll see how it turns out. I increased the sugar in the pie, but I also increased the corn starch so we shall see how it turns out. Good, I hope.

    I'm about to watch "Goodbye Mr Chips" on tv. It's a made for tv British remake of the original, starring Martin Clunes(Doc Martin). I love old films and my list of favourite actors is endless. My friends used to laugh in the old days when I was late joining them at the disco because I was watching a Tony Curtis/Rock Hudson /Gregory Peck film on TV!! Happy days!!

    Sharon, if Larry had nothing to hide, he wouldn't be upset about you looking at his cell phone. And you have nothing to feel ashamed about, he's the one who appears to be cheating so he's the one who should be ashamed! You are not going to be able to change him, he would have to want to change and that doesn't seem likely to happen. I'm sure it's a scary thing, thinking of divorce and living alone, but you need to be the most important person in your life right now. Take the steps you need to in order to take care of YOU! And even though none of us is physically there for you, you know we are all with you in spirit!
    Katla, happy to hear that your dog is getting better!
    Heather, happy that you heard from your friend, hope that you can get a number of someone who is in her life that you could call.
    Allie, your brother is not being fair at all! Is his head up his @$$, does he not see how much you are doing for your dad? Good grief! I wish I were there to give you a big hug, this will have to do! {{{HUG}}}
    As for t.v., radio and other noisemakers in the house... Hubby is the one who gets up in the morning and turns on the t.v., I prefer to read the paper in the morning and it's easier to do without the noise of the t.v. or whatever, but after 36 years of this, I'm used to it and it doesn't bother me. It helps that I'm usually up for a few hours before he gets up, so I can read the paper and putter in quiet. I'm usually at the gym when he gets up and by the time that I get home, I'm ready for some noise in my day! He also turns it on when he gets up and it stays on til he goes to bed, unless we go out somewhere. No point in leaving it on for the cat, she's deaf! lol She's an old thing who probably won't be with us much longer, I will miss her. Mind you, I didn't think she would survive last winter, so maybe I shouldn't bury her just yet.....
    Christmas is still up at our place, will probably take it down NY day. I was going to leave it up for another week, but I'm not sure I'll be able to stand it for that much longer! I do like it, but I kind of want my regular house back.
    I do want to know more about the tradition that someone's step mom had about placing a coin outside on the windowsill. Does the denomination count? How long does one leave the coin there? Should it be on a particular windowsill? Or one facing a certain direction?
    The pork thing sounds interesting, my mom would make a ham for NY day, but I don't recall anything being said about pigs moving forward while foraging. Mom would make ethnic (Russian) food quite often for NY day as well. I did like that! I don't make too much of it, hubby doesn't like most of it and I have found that I'm not quite as fond of it as I used to be. And a lot of it is kind of high in calories and fat, and I really don't need extra calories or fat! I do, however, make borsch on a regular (sort of! lol) basis, and hubby does like that. It contains butter and whipping cream, but the rest is all veggies, so it's really a fairly healthy soup. Wouldn't work for the cabbage haters out there, but I'm not one of those. Not a fan of kale tho, or a lot of salad stuff that seems to be in the salad mixes that one finds in the stores. Don't like bitter tasting food, and there always seems to be something in there like that.
    Well, that's a long enough post for now! I know I've missed commenting on lots of peoples activities, the letter to Santa about the pets was adorable, loved that Joaquin gave a big sloppy kiss to his gramma, so many happy moments! And as I'm typing this, more people are posting! I'll never get caught up! lol Hope everyone has a great day!

    Michele, a stability bar? Could you post pic?
    Michele and pip, Michelle's right, uploaded the video to YouTube first, then pasted the link it provided. THINK the tall thing was the North Pole, but maybe not since there's a magician nearby. Will try to stop by the park before they take it down and get a better pic.
    pip but your piece of cake 1/2 mi is followed by a full work day, then another 1/2 mi, no? No wonder you could run a marathon!
    Rye sleep superpower, awesome!
    Becca, Procraftinating? Now THAT's a craft I could do!
    Janetr not in your neck of the woods, but Azalea Park in Brookings OR. I too love to drive past people's light displays but this was a walk through, all put up by volunteers, costs sponsored by local biz, admission a whopping $2, kids free.
    Evvie, Margaret so creative and skilled!

    7 pages behind, but practicing for a new habit, stop and DO something after every page. ;)

    Hugs to all,
    desismileys_4280.gifBarbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD.

    Thanks, it’s all just part of my work week, just habit, you’ll get to the place where it will b “just habit” for u to, just keep at it

    I do tend to start my runs fast, and I wonder why I'm gasping for air and why this run feels so difficult, then I have to tell myself to slow down a bit. I won't be the fastest person across the line ... I'm just hoping I'm not last.

    The goal is to finish the first time. The second race your goal is to beat your time/pace. I only race against myself, never the crowd. But I understand the desire to not be the last one across the finish line. lol Usually that's not a problem. In the marathon I did a run/walk and that really helps me keep the energy levels up. Run 5 minutes, walk 1 (or 2 depending upon my mood). The walk is a fast walk but it helps keep the heart rate within boundaries that I've set.

    You're going to do fine. And yes, the Hoka's are like running on pillows compared to others I've had. :smiley: My knees don't hurt at all when I run in them.

    On my 1st marathon (have done 3) I only had one goal and one alone. I wanted 2c if I could I could run the whole way, no walking, all run. I didn’t care about pace or who was passing me or if I was passing people. I did it and I was happy. Ended up doing in 4-1/2 hour, little over 10min mi. I remember at the 1/2 way mark we were at a 9min mi pace, so I knew we had to slow down to get thru the other 1/2. Oh, and I don’t run in tennis shoes,

    Barbie's Happiness Commandments

    Be Barbie
    Lighten up
    Do it now
    Dance more
    Choose strategy over willpower
    Cultivate an attitude of gratitude
    Come from a place of love
    Stay in the moment
    Act the way you want to feel
    Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good
    Don't expect praise or recognition
    It is what it is
    Don't take things personally
    Treat yourself like a toddler
    What's fun for other people may not be fun for you, and vice versa
    You can choose what you do, but you can't choose what you like
    Be kind, no exceptions
    Ask always, how could my life be better with less?

    - Mine sent so deep-
    - Fills a whole makes a turd
    - U do u, no one else will
    - Life is no dress rehearsal, this is it
    - If someone asks for your opinion, give it honestly, if they can’t take or accept it, they probably shouldn’t have asked

    I got an email from my Vegan/Celiac friend Marie, she wants me to come over and talk vegan cooking with her in the next few weeks. I can't wait! DH and I went to their home last year for a supper of fabulous soup and a wonderfully creamy chocolate soufflé. Her DH, John, was a real meat and potatoes guy and she has converted him - not by nagging or preaching him, but by making the tastiest food imaginable.

    My hubby was the most stuck in the mud roast or sausages, paired with roast potatoes or mashed potatoes, man when I met him. He complained about EVERYTHING I made. It was not a meal unless it had meat and potatoes. Did I mention he is Irish? LOL. Over 30 years I have converted him to colorful salads and fruit smoothies, spicy Mexican food, chili, avacadoes/gaucamole, eggplant lasagne and other healthy choices. He cooks on the weekends and he still makes his roasts or does fatty chops on the barbecue, but at least he also heaps up a big salad to go with it, as he pointed out to me last night! He does cook for me any special requests I have. He makes beautiful curried eggs and I love his cauliflower cheese.

    I am just out now to take some queens out and check on last week's grafts and put some more cells in... <3 Wendy

    Yesterday,a neighbor stopped in to see our new heat/AC regulator.Anyway,he mentioned DH said I had some type of
    On line infection. He looked & said it almost surely came from FB.He works as a specialist with such stuff.
    DD talked me into signing up for FB,but never thought to use it.Was just “there” in list of apps.

    Run Malwarebytes on your phone and computer. That should take care of any "viruses".

    Also don't click on clickbait, ads, links in emails, etc.

    Thank you. I appreciate your help.Also discarding .......seldom used sites.
    “Saving” files etc has been cut way back.Just trying to keep junk away.
    Have stopped clicking on strange sites altogether.
    Will see how it goes.
