Janet, so sorry about your special rings. Hope your insurance company is better than mine. And I, too, obviously have suspicions of the attendant who seems dodgy as! It would certainly be worth finding out who the Big Boss of the gas station is and having a quiet chat with them. What a nasty thing to have happened. Will just say some prayers that they will be restored to you.

Caught up reading again. So easy to get behind.
Heather - I still think your accomplishments are impressive! I have no idea what my BMI is these days. I'm avoiding that information right now.
You looked so great in your costume.
Such a wonderful experience to share with your cancer friend.
Lanette - Great minds think alike but I did my fish in the oven then picked off most of the batter. Delicious.
Rita - Yes, I am doing the duolingo for Spanish. Today I am 52% fluent. I am looking into classes in town for either Spanish or Italian. Beginner, of course.
I'm sorry that you are on the receiving end of a bad mood. It might improve once he has the surgery.
Lenora - I'm not a big fan of MRIs either. They just don't help with claustrophobia. They do give the doctors valuable information.
drkatiebug - I vote for the grey but it really is what can you afford and which would you like to live with.
NYKaren - What a great surprise! A trip to Rome! Now that's romantic.
Happy Birthdays and Happy Anniversary !
Katla - You have a courageous granddaughter. I will count her as a Warrior Princess. I am glad that they are taking care of it now
Allie - I hope everything goes well with your son and he receives the treatment he needs. You certainly have had a rough go of it. Do something for me. Take your arms and wrap them around yourself. Now squeeze tight. Just imagine that is me hugging you.
Janetr - 11 1/2 hrs is too long a drive for pretty much anyone.
I am so sorry about your rings. Money will never replace them but it could help you. I agree with everyone else that the gas attendant was being evasive and that he knows perfectly well where your ring is. Please file a police report.
I am also sorry about all the pain and suffering from your tooth.
At least you are home safe and sound.
Actually slept in today but woke up with charlie horses in my legs and now my hip is really bothering me. What is up with that?
Larry's brother arrived today but I don't know how long he is staying. Larry did the potatoes in the Instant Pot. What is the point if you then have to microwave the potato to make sure it is fully cooked.
I made glazed carrots, celery and onion in the slow cooker. Keira helped me make brownies for dessert. Jheri made her leave before they finished baking. So, Jheri had to make brownies when she got home.
Bev and Les joined us for dessert and coffee. Bev offered to do some fixing on Richard's 40 plus years old jacket. I think the fabric is rotting away.
I couldn't believe some of the things that came out of DBIL's mouth. Does he know he sounds racist and bigoted? I won't give them added attention by writing them here but WOW just WOW. Did he really say those things and how much of it does he believe. If these are the things he truly believes then I would like to kick him out of our house. What do you do when your spouse's sibling acts like an ignorant a**?
Keira asked "Grandma, did you teach Mommy to bake?" Yes, I did. "Grandma, I'm going to teach my kid to bake
because that would be tradition"
Keira had a sewing lesson with my sister today. Keira says "I hear that you fought with your Mom about learning to sew and that's why she didn't want to teach Auntie Bev" Not quite accurate.
I did say something to the effect that I didn't need to learn to sew , clean or cook because I would have people for that. It didn't stop my Mom from teaching me. Later she would ask me "Where are your people?" I'm still wondering that.

Hello ladies:
Just started week 2 of my new job as Breakfast Club helper, it's going well so far. I leave my home at 07.20 and arrive back at 09.20. I walk there and back and am on my feet the entire time. I'm starting as lunchtime assistant today which will be a repeat of the morning. I'm hoping the extra walking and being active whilst there will be beneficial to my health and weight loss. In between the two today I'm going to see my dear old Dad in the nursing home. He is 91 and recently had a week in hospital with a chest infection. The poor old thing has Parkinson's and dementia, but, still knows us and we manage to chat about a few things. I was very sad for the ladies on here that recently lost their dear Dads, I am dreading the day that mine passes away.
All the best

M: Loved the beach photo.M - what a beautiful pic. That beach looks so tranquil.
Thanks ... we really like living so close to the beach. I waded in up to my shoulders yesterday and bobbed around in the water a while. It was lovely! The water is so clear there and has finally warmed up.
When I got home, I found out that a 3-metre Great White had been spotted up the East Coast a ways. It's unlikely they'd come into our bay, but then again, the next bay over has had dolphins and about a month ago, there was a decent-sized whale.

Last night (Sunday night), I was up till 2 am finishing the next stage of the project I'm working on for my university class. I didn't get as far as I would have liked and was nervous as can be this morning when I headed off to class (after only 5 hours of sleep).
We had our "what's on the exam" lecture ... that was frightening enough! But then we all had to do 5-minute presentations (front of class, with powerpoint slides) on our projects telling each other what we'd done and how far we've come.
Fortunately, I wasn't the only one who was floundering. There are some who've got a good handle on what they are doing and they are well advanced. But then there are a bunch like me who have made a start ...
However, I must focus on that project this week. I'm back to work tomorrow, but I'll be working on the project in the evenings.
Tonight, our heat wave brokeand so my husband and I walked to the beach and back in a cool drizzle. Then I did a weights workout downstairs.
Now ... that project.

Good morning!
In case there are any of you who liked (or missed) the Broken Brain and wish to see yet another 7 days of probably similar presentations about health, there's another one starting February 1st.
This should you in the site to register if you wish: www.livelongerfeelbetter.com
There's not a lot of information on it other than they'll be revealing "little-known" secrets for a long and healthy life.Dr. Joe Mercola is one of the presenters and he's a big fan of intermittent fasting and high intensity interval training as I recall. I'm not sure if I'm up to sitting through another batch of videos, but I'll at least check this one out.

Geesh! Miss a day or 2 and y'all write a novel. Thinking of all of you. Visiting daughter with the hubs doing some home improvement for her. Traveling with hubs is so nerve wracking. His Asperger’s goes into freaking overdrive. I'll survive but it puts daughter on edge and all goes to hell. Sigh
.. Weather rainy and chilly here in VA.
Take care!

Wow, 5 days and 15 pages... ;}
Looking ahead to month end, roundup will be a mixed bag. Missed 3 days of meditating, only walked a few days. Been faithful with logging, supplements, only went over 1500 a few times and started Fosamax last Monday, a real hurdle for me.
Welcome Leamlass, Jayne, FionaW and KittyWH. You are in the right place now. These women's wisdom and compassion are truly amazing.
Penny expensive veggies, yah. DH shakes his head when I buy organic, but I say "pay the grocer or pay the doctor, you choose" ;}
Heather Did you learn Norwegian for your cruise to Longyearbyen? cute all the way down to your shoes! Wish I could hear you sing Good Night! and yodel the Lonely Goatherd
Machka added green beans, corn and (sorry) dried red pepper flakes to the chickpea recipe and it turned out ok. Your chicken curry recipe looks even better, will try soon.
Wendy "Rivendell" ah! if only...
Rye thank you VERY much for the sweet potato and potassium info. Does the cooling then reheating diminish the other nutrients in the potatoes? Next time I want to sit down with the Ben & Jerry's, will try your chocolate meditation instead
Kim yay boots and Virginia Woolf!
Becca the Japanese method of decluttering made me snort my tea!
Sharon love Jheri's fish in inks. Glad Jason had her with him at the intense meeting.
Michelle, Medicare, yikes indeed. Most important thing is to pay attention to the signup deadlines, the penalties last forever. http://www.ncdoi.com/SHIIP/ can help a lot. Medicare Advantage vs Part B supplemental (Medigap) plans. We chose Part B and Medigap Plan F high deductible from Thrivent (no Silver Sneakers ;{ )instead of an Advantage as I don't like being locked into a network and wanted hassle free coverage when we travel. Means we have to pay pay pay for vision, dental, so will re-evaluate next year.
pip Yogi looks like he's in trouble
10 pages to go but time to get meditating and moving.
Mindful and WARM Hugs to all,Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD.

Sharon in Lethbridge— I am at 47% fluent and have many Espanol speaker to practice with here in New Mexico! Lol
Alie, I don’t know how you stay sane????
Told my DH about the hernia RV and clothing optional resort. He asked if you were crazy! Lol
I did go for a walk alone to get away from DH mood. Walks always help me. Healthy too!
Sorry to hear about rings list, tooth broken, and all the sadness this time of year.
Funny.. my little white Wicket was nuts this morning and as DH was going out today he RV door, she was jumping and trying to pull his pants down.4 -
Barbara - Yes I did learn Norwegian for the cruise to Longyearbyen. I used it on the mainland of Norway, but I had to insist people spoke Norwegian to me. They all speak perfect English. I ended up following a school group around an open air museum and even then I had to insist. I just said everywhere I went, (in Norwegian), that I preferred to speak Norwegian. People did try then to humour me. I am anticipating having exactly the same problem with Swedish in Sweden.
Jag föredrar att talar svenska.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx6 -
Good afternoon all! I weighed in this morning! I got to move three glass stones to my "pounds lost" jar! Whoot!
Rita- Why is it that dogs seem to know everything and understand everything we say? Wicket must have been warning your hubby about something. Did you act like Timmy, from Lassie? "What is it girl?" lol Poor Lassie, she spent so much time trying to get dumb humans to understand her.
Heather- Yea! Another cruise! You go girl! Speak your Swedish!For now, I will travel vicariously through you. You can play with kids all day/every day, vicariously through me!
Sounds like a fair trade!
Allie- Thinking of you and your son/nephew(?) I am sure he appreciates the support he is getting from you.
love and hugs to all who need or want themttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)
