    Meg ~ We took our pile of papers from over 20 yrs ago to a business that shreds. It was quick and not too expensive. I hate the sound of the home shredder. Reminds me of going to the dentist.

    Janet, congratulations on selling the eggs. Were they sold through the store?

    Janet, Okie and Laura (and anyone I missed), doing the Snoopy happy dance for your weight loss!

    Laura, hope you have a wonderful birthday celebration!

    Shoveled snow off the deck when I got home. Thought I’d better get what was there off as we have more coming.

    Here in Minnesota this could be the sign of an ice dam. What causes this is the heat from your home goes into the attic. If there is not enough insulation it causes the snow on you roof to melt and causes the icicles and ice dams. You might need to get professionals to remove it. Without removal it can cause water damage to your interior.

    I hope I am wrong.

    M - I have never been able to touch my toes. Not ever. I have the tightest hamstrings this side of the Atlantic. You have them on that side of the Atlantic....lol


    I've gotten to where I prefer the taste of the low sodium cottage cheese. I tried the no salt cottage cheese once when I was up by Jess and didn't like it. I think that's because my taste buds were expecting salt. If I'd had it for a while, I'd probably get used to it

    I've never been able to touch my toes either. I got close during the 2 winters I took yoga classes. They actually helped quite a bit ... but that was more than a decade ago.

    Over the next 2 weeks, I really need to work at loosening everything up. I'm planning to visit my chiro and if I can, I'll book a massage therapy session. Plus my foam roller.

    I suspect my back pain while cycling has to do with everything just tightening up too much.


    I actually salt my full-sodium cottage cheese. After work each weekday, I measure out 100 grams of cottage cheese, salt it, then cut up cucumbers and other raw veggies and mix them in, and salt them all. And that's my after work snack. :)

    The icicles are because one day it’s warmer then turns cold again. Yesterday the sun was out and it felt much warmer. Today back to snow and cold.

    M - it wouldn't surprise me one bit if your back pain was due to your tight hamstrings. I'm sure that's what is causing some of my back pain. You probably need extra sodium with all the bike riding you do

    Terry - I still don't see any thunder thighs. When we lived in the Poconos there were some people who actually had heaters in their gutters to prevent a build up of ice.

    Well, the dishwasher just finished and both of those couplers were at the bottom of the dishwasher. Next time I use them I think I'm going to have to put them in some sort of bag to wash them as the one that I know I put in where I could put a cover on it was at the bottom of the dishwasher.

    Michele, too bad about the dragonfly, all that work gone in a split second... good attitude tho, you are right about the colour choices not having to be made again!

    Terry, so sorry to hear about your cousins wife. My hope is that her pain can be controlled and that she not suffer.
    That brass necklace is lovely! I didn't see any thunder thighs either!

    Janetr, congrats on selling a couple of your eggs, they really are very pretty.

    Heather, so nice that you were able to spend some time with your friend. Also, congrats on your running! I agree with the person who said that it doesn't matter how long it took you to run the 5k, the fact is that you RAN it! That is a huge accomplishment!

    Congrats to those who are celebrating victories! HUGS to those who need them! My wi is tomorrow, I don't think it will be a good one. My eating habits this past week have left a lot to be desired. My biggest hope is that I haven't gained much. Time will tell...

    Hope everyone has a great day/night.

    Michelle here in Minnesota when a new roof is needed you have to have an extra layer of black tarp placed at the roof line to prevent the damage ice can cause if it backs up under your roof. It is code here. Ice can back up under the roof and without that extra protection the water seeps down into your walls and can cause major damage to interior walls. Yes heaters in your gutters can also prevent such damage. As I said earlier one of the best ways to prevent ice dams here is to have enough roof insulation so the heat from your home does not melt the snow on the roof. We are starting to melt the massive amount of snow here but our home does not have those kind of icicles. If it did I would be calling in a professional to get rid of the ice.

    We still have lots of snow on the ground from some major storms about a week ago. I feel for the east coast because I know how awful it is to find places for that heavy wet snow and how hard it is to shovel it. I hope you can find someone with a plow or a snow blower that can handle that kind of snow. If not be careful shoveling all that snow.

    :heart: Margaret
