    Kim - So happy to hear about your birthday determination. :D:D:D You have worked very hard over the years on being more assertive and it is paying off! <3 Also, I do think we get to be more "ourselves" as we get older and less afraid of what other people think. I intend to be a very difficult old lady! :laugh: Mind you, I'm more than half way there already.
    I am 70 next year and I've already booked a cruise for myself and DH for that day. I hate parties and I'm surprisingly anti social, though I don't come over that way. Like Karen, I would like to see the grandchildren and have them help me to blow some candles out on a carrot cake, but I really don't want presents, unless there is something I really want from DH. I had been planning to go to Montreal, or Buenos Aires, , but then I thought, why do I want to give myself all that organising hassle (no one can do it properly but me >:) ) when it's my birthday. Mind you, I have already put a "70" tiara from Amazon on my wish list. I am looking forward to the waiters serenading me already!
    It's wonderful that you have so many people who want to give you a great time. <3 That says a lot about you.

    I'm hoping that the paperwork on the house will move forward this week. :# We both woke up in the early morning with indigestion from worry.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    And the answer to the puzzler is: Minus 40 degrees Celsius = Minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    It's the easiest conversion. :)

    If you're on a phone, and you shift the phone slightly, you'll lose your post. Long ones are best typed on a computer (laptop, desktop, etc.).

    The only time I lost my post was because I added an emoji from my phone and not from the ones available only on the app.

    Lanette: I haven't seen fog lately, but DH is up earlier than I am and he has seen what he calls "summer morning fog." It has been gone by the time I get up. I have noticed a change in the weather to more of a late summer/early fall pattern. :flowerforyou: I am so glad you sent the links for "The Skinny on Fat." I watched every episode and found the messages to be supportive of the way I have been eating. I can't digest real butter or milk unless it has been stripped of lactose, and I'm grateful for all the cartons of lactose free milk at the grocery stores. :heart:

    Rita: I hope you enjoy your trip to Idaho. Do you have a specific destination in mind or are you planning to sample this and that? We have family in Idaho--adult nieces and nephews. Perhaps you can go to Yellowstone while you're there. It touches Idaho near Ashton and West Yellowstone. :flowerforyou: DH has been diabetic since he was in his late teens. He tells me that a fasting blood sugar should be between 80 and 120. It looks like you'll be "in the zone." Let us know if you feel better from the change you're planning. :smiley:

    SueBDew: Welcome back! :star:

    Kim: Happy Birthday! Good for you for being clear with friends and family about your preferences. :bigsmile:

    Barbie: I hope your call to the doctor will result in you feeling better. :heart:

    Machka: "If you're on a phone, and you shift the phone slightly, you'll lose your post. Long ones are best typed on a computer (laptop, desktop, etc.)." This fits my experience, too. I record all my eating and exercise on my phone, but when I want to communicate with the group I use my computer. :star:

    Karen UK: I envy your good luck that all of your children live nearby. Mine are far away. :sad:

    Penny: The young man who guessed your age was observant enough to realize you are youthful and in good health, so he guessed a lower age number. :smiley:

    (((Cheri))) Sending good thoughts. :heart:

    Heather: I had my gallbladder our years ago. I had only one gallstone, but it was the size of a robin's egg. I have felt a lot better without the gallbladder and the stone. :bigsmile:


    Yoga today! Yay!!! Tomorrow will be busy with medical appointments for DH and car service for both of our cars.

    Yep its been in the shop for over a year! The fact that he was out to sea at the beginning part, and that my son gave him a boatload of money before he left probably didn't help! He was under qualified to work on such a big project. It was an engine swap, and it involved making the truck have a wider wheel base to support the engine. Then it involved the guy making wheel fenders. He was having to get someone to weld parts, so my son has the patience of a saint!

    Now I just want him to finish before winter comes! My son is riding 10 miles every day.
