Hi, all! Love the support I’ve seen here. May I join in? I like that you’ve gotten to know each other. I’m looking for that.
@csofled where in VA is your family? My son, DIL, and gorgeous 3 month old granddaughter live in Newport News. I love that area! We may end up there in a couple years.
I’m Susan, btw. 😀5 -

For all of the ice cream lovers. This is a satire page I follow from my home province.

Ginger I never thought of glucose monitoring. Thanks for the idea. I will ask my doctor. Meanwhile, it must be really upsetting to have eye concerns. We all rely on them so much. You, however, should so calm.
Matchka can you go to a dental school for assistance with the teeth? The faculty and house staff may be able to do more than a local dentist. I am making an appointment at one in the next state as we have none here. It will be worth it. My dental insurance is lousy and getting an implant will cost a fortune, even with reduced rates at the dental school. However, everyone I know who has used it has been very pleased with the outcome.
Rita what a scare. Glad you are safe. Nature has a way of reminding us of just how powerless we are to control her.
Think of the poor folks in Iowa.
Barbie hang in there. The love and hugs going your way are just a small portion of what you have given over the years. You are such a source of strength to all of this group.CJ4 -
Lisa Congratulations! (Insert sounds of clapping here). You have a beautiful new home and lots of privacy. I am so glad that house worked out for you!
Concerning blood glucose monitoring. Ginger I am so glad you brought this up! I did this a few years ago and it was really enlightening. And for those who might be wondering, you can buy a glucose meter, strips, and lancets without a prescription. Walmart's "Relion" glucose meter & strips are affordable for those contemplating purchasing glucose monitoring equipment without a prescription. Glucose strips can be very pricey, so be sure to do your homework before you decide which monitor to purchase. You might be able to find a fancy monitor with all the bells & whistles for a good price, but the strips may be expensive.

The nearest Dental School in in Melbourne 720 km away on the mainland.
I'll ask around at work and see who people go to and recommend, but the dentists I have seen in recent years are starting to suggest I go to specialists.
Fortunately, I don't think this tooth is infected, so it doesn't hurt too much.

Hi Machka, one of my back molars got infected five or more years ago under a filling. If it flairs up I use propolis drops on it and the infection goes away. It actually broke about four months ago and half the molar is gone, leaving a big hole. But it doesn't hurt so I don't worry about it. Then last night it started to ache a bit, no doubt because I have had high stress, plus family here and have been hitting the chocolate for comfort food, LOL. Anyway, I used propolis on it twice last night and today it doesn't hurt at all anymore. Thank God for propolis!

Machka that Zwift image is so realistic it took me a moment to realize its a screenshot not a pic
Broken backmost molar Owwww! Any chance a nightguard could save the rest?
The graphics on Zwift are really good ... and it's interesting "riding" with other people.
If/when I get into see someone, I'll have to ask what my options are, but so far no one has suggested a nightguard.

Rode the recumbent bike today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Kathy Smith Fat Burning DVD.
Made some fudge for Vince. Yesterday he grilled the chicken and pork chops to have for later in the week (also put some in the freezer)
Vince also put up these room darkening curtains I got in the back bedroom. Actually, we need at least one more panel, but they only come in packages of 2 so we will probably put both of them up.
I’m not sure if I posted a picture of my firefly (or is it a dragonfly?) after I put the rhinestones on it.
Lisa – congrats on the house! Were your sellers at the closing? Ours weren’t. Do you know that to this day we’ve NEVER met the woman. The husband is a real sweet guy, he used to come by if they got any mail. Then again, I understand that she was a piece of work so guess it’s not a bad thing that we’ve never met. I’m sure you know, but when you change the locks, try to get every lock so that it uses the same key. Makes for things so much easier.
M – I’m sorry about your tooth. So glad your husband got on the bike
Went to the farmer’s market this morning and got 4 Burpee Hybrid cantaloupes. They are gooooooddddd
Agree with Okie on the washer. We have a septic, too, and since the front loader uses less water, it certainly helps the septic. Okie – I also keep a jar and put all my grease, etc (anything liquid that I might pour down the drain like extra egg wash from cooking). To me, the less in my septic, the better. When the jar gets full, I just throw it out. I know some people put it in the freezer, but I’d rather put food in the freezer. Plus, I’d worry that someone (probably me) would take it out of the freezer and defrost it. The jar lid on the grease keeps any smell away.
CJ – I’m so sorry about your husband. What you gave away, you have a great way of looking at it
I used to have a problem of logging my food when I would go out, but when I got to the restaurant, I’d change my mind. Then I kept remembering what barbie says all the time “eat only what you log”. That really seems to have helped.
Vince went to lunch with this guy from Newcomers. I was sitting at the same table with him at Rummikub Tuesday and we talked about how Vince does the shooting and so on. I gave him Vince’s phone number and he called and they met. He recently had a heart transplant so they had a lot to talk about. He’s also from the same city where Vince went to high school! Then I went in the pool. Have to usher at the church tonight. I want to leave early since I just saw that asparagus is on sale at Food Lion for $1.99 a pound. That’s a price I can live with. And I like asparagus (like I do almost all veggies)
Meg – I think Rebecca does quite well with her shopping, too. I wouldn’t have known about the dimmer LED’s either if it hadn’t been for Vince who told me.
Jess just called. Out of 4 exams she got 3 A’s and 1 B. This is the second set of exams she’s taken. Graduate school seems very intense, but I’m glad she’s doing well. Well, we all tend to do well when it’s something we love, and she’s always loved animals. She always asks about Denise. Unfortunately, we haven’t heard from her in about a week. Well, we don’t know her schedule as a waitress. And, I know this sounds jealous on my part, but she’s busy with Maria. I see photos posted on Facebook how they went down the shore and how they went out to dinner. Yet, I knew that’s the way it would be. One thing that makes me sad is that it doesn’t give her any incentive to make friends.
Rebecca – good for you not taking any pain meds! I know one time the MD prescribed them for me and I never took them. Vince kept after me “did you take something” where I finally got worried that somehow I was hurting myself by not taking them. So I called the MD’s office and they told me that if I can stand it, it’s best not to take the meds.
Susan – welcome! We look forward to getting to know you better

Good Evening Ladies,
Thank you Barbie for starting this group for ladies of a certain age.
I am 61 yrs old on disability. I have a very hard time exercising. This is so awful but since October 2015 I have gained 76 lbs. On October 6th I loss my boyfriend in a motorcycle accident. I was riding my bike too. I didn't even know he had gone down. I was able to get to him and console him and tell him I love him and finally pray for him before he died in my arms. I was 168 lbs and when I start dieting 2 months ago I had hit the heaviest I've ever been in my life 244 lbs.
I am just finishing my first month on Keto. I was just counting calories beforeth. for 1 mon. So, my 1st month on calorie counting I lost12 lbs. An my 1st month on Keto was 7.5 lbs. I just re-measured my body and updated my macros a bit. I so want to succeed on the Keto Lifestyle. I have been trying to exercise in the pool. I pray I will have the willpower to be on my game with my Keto Lifestyle.
Thank you for allowing me to join.
Teresa from Central Florida.

Teresa - welcome. I'm so sorry about your boyfriend. What you experienced was just horrible! question - if you lost more weight calorie counting than on keto, why not go back to calorie counting? I love exercising in the pool. You really don't feel like you're exercising....until the next day! Also, that's a good place to have a hot flash

The "Sing Along" first movie was on last weekend! My husband sat, watching it kind of, groaned when Pierce Bronson sang, I was thrilled he survived it! Those kind of movies are just a delight to the senses! Today I watched "Eat, Pray, Love", another movie my emotions take in, and I just smile thru the whole thing!

Hey all ladies in Canada, so any of you watch " The Artful Detective, Murdock Mysteries "? We just love it! Its so interesting!!
So my roast could be cut with a fork! My carrots didn't shrivel away, and my golden potatoes plump and creamy! Success! I even invited my eldest son's old roommate/freeloader to have dinner. They were out in the garage, when both of us ate, so we didn't chat. He had come over to get a scooter part or some thing. He's a nice kid, just when I think of all the money my son has spent during their time as roommates, it just sickens me.
I am still really weak, and my tingling has me on edge. In Monday, I will call my doctor and see if all this is normal. Time is what I need.
