My name is Chris from Idaho. Love to hear all your stories. Two nights ago I went to dinner at a neighbors house and all the food was made creamy, instead of passing on everything but the turkey put me in stomach pain all night only slept 1hour.
I learned a good lesson and will not do that again. I’m back on track.
Chris
Chris, Hi, Someone told me that success is inspirational. Failure or disaster can be educational. Stomach pain can be very educational. Glad you are back on track.

Hi everyone. Husband has an appointment this morning to take off his other (right), toenail. I get to drive home. He has the most weirdest feet! He's always saying rub my feet, and I scream and say no way man!!! I will if he keeps his socks ON. Ok subject change, I just shivered!
Watched "Gallipoli" movie last night with husband. He just taped it. Its with a really young Mel Gibson . Such a great, but so sad movie, about the Australian Light Brigade. Then watched the last ten minutes of "Duel" with Dennis Weaver. A movie with mostly Dennis trying to keep his piece of crap orange car on the road, while being chased by a greasy scary semi truck! Classic! My husband just shakes his head at me!
Have a nice day y'all!

Did my run this afternoon, despite grey, lowering skies, aching hips and a twingy hamstring.
I continue to astound myself. Of course my motivation is I like to eat. Love chonking up that calorie burn. 
Managing to keep my weight a few ounces under my goal weight.

I wake up at night and start worrying about my dads house and to make sure it gets sold before we have to buy oil...
Allie I once bought a house that had oil heat. We had to buy the oil that was in the tank as a separate transaction from buying the house. I hope you don't have to buy oil, but if you do, the new buyer should pay you for whatever oil is in the tank at the time of the sale.
NYKAREN I like that little burro.
Katla Have fun at the beach! Don't worry about the puppet photo. I asked because I am fascinated by puppets and marionettes, as well as by ventriloquist dummies.

how aggravating, infuriating and even sick-making :sick:. Can your state's SHIP office offer no recourse?
Had I but checked the chart, would have seen only 57 steps to goal and easily made it. Again, a day that I thought would be horrible in calories wasn't as catastrophic as I feared. Fear. Hmm. Is that the issue???

Please remember to pull over if you need to be on the phone when you are driving. I witnessed a young mother on the phone with her son in the back seat driving while on the phone. She was driving like she was drunk. Fortunately she did not have an accident while I was driving near her. It only takes a moment for a life time of regrets.

Margaret ~ In the State of Georgia, a law took effect in July that prohibited holding or touching a phone while driving. It's been really difficult for a lot of folks to not automatically pick up their phones and many tickets have been given out.3

Carol-Zero tolerance phone laws in Michigan, also. A few years back, during my daughter Lauren's wedding week, one of my good friend's husbands was hit by a young woman who was texting and driving. He passed away within a couple of days after the accident. Left his wife and three young daughters. Heartbreaking! I totally agree Margaret! I have seen many people (and I have to admit, they are mainly busy moms) talking or texting while driving. Is your life, or your child's life, really worth that call?6

Hi all! Been traveling nonstop for the last 7 days! No catching up here! Lol. We drove 1800 miles in those 6 days to arrive in Roswell New Mexico. We have a hosting job here. First time. Will try it to see if we will continue doing this or not.
Have to go, just wanted to check in.

My husband and I are very interested in your experience hosting as we have considered trying it. Let us know

He is finding it difficult to finish as there's always more to edit. :laugh: It makes him very happy when someone enjoys them and he always mentions it to me when he gets another sale.
Yesterday we both worked on our books in the morning. I wrote about 500 words. Slow but steady. He writes in the living room and I write on our bed upstairs. I'm writing about my grandparents again, who moved in almost next door to us at our new house. My mother was not amused. I was very conscious of that when we floated the idea of moving to Hove. DS said he didn't want us too near! We will be about 30 mins walk away. No fear of bumping into each other at the bakers.

I grew up beside my Grandparents. For perspective I've include two pictures to show how close it was. The first picture is of me with my back to my Grandparents house, the second is my Dad and girls with our house in the background. As a child I loved it, when my Mom made supper I didn't like I would go eat at Grammie's. I suffered terribly the nights they both cooked something I didn't like. If I was in trouble at home I ran to Grammie's. She helped me with my homework, always had cookies, doughnuts, treats. It was the best childhood ever. When I was a teen it wasn't quite as much fun, I had to tell my Grandparents what I was doing as much as my parents. I had 4 sets of watchful eyes instead of 2. I wouldn't change a moment of it, but as an adult looking back it must have been hard on my parents at times. I remember my Grandmother complaining when my Mom went to town too often, and I'm sure that my grandparents heard more about my parents married life than was necessary.

Snowflake ~ I grew up with my father's entire family living within a quarter of a mile of each other. When I walked home after the bus stop, my uncle's house was on the left, grandparent's house on the right, aunt's house on the left, and finally my house on the right. The whole family attended the small Baptist church near by. I grew up playing with my cousins. My mother did not get along with any of them so they never came to our house to play.

So lovely to see Olivia again. Lovely to watch her growing up.

Kelly - Look at you go on the weight loss! I love your holiday theme week, I would be too excited to sleep!
NYKaren - Beautiful pictures, I am with you excited to be home at the end of a trip
Rye- I don't know how you American's do it! I am so fortunate to live in Canada where we may have a long wait but can see our doctors for free.
Michele- I think your stringing popcorn on the deck is brilliant, I never would have thought about doing it so early.
Margaret - Cell phones and driving. It is against the law here as well and I see so many doing it. The talking doesn't bother me as much as the texting. At least with the talking they are usually looking up and not down at their crotch. My daughter, husband and grandson were rear ended by a texting driver when my Grandson was just a year or so old. Scary.
Janet - what a cutie Olivia is!
Walking Partners - I would love to have someone that is willing to walk with me. I wish it was hubby for his own health but he needs to decide that on his own. In the meantime, I talk to a friend at least one walk a week.
My 50th birthday is coming up and I really wanted to do something to celebrate it. My Grandson and I share a birthday so for the last 6 years I have celebrated with him. I decided this weekend that I wanted to have my family and closer friends join me for a dinner at a local restaurant that I love. I texted my youngest daughter today to see what time she would get out of the salon on the date and she asked me why I wanted to know. When I told her about making reservations she told me she would add me to the group that she has been using to work on plans for me. I told her to continue planning and I will leave things alone. She is going to contact the others I have talked to about my plan and tell them to ignore me. A planner is hard to surprise I guess. I told her I'm excited to see what she does now!

I lived next door to my grandparents as well. My grandfather was a carpenter, so he built our house, then we sold him the field next door, and he built his house. My grandparents were my best friends! If I didn't have honework, I stopped off at their place, my grandmother dealing me in for a hand of gin rummy! She had an eternal tin filled with cookies, mostly freezer cookies, oatmeal, sometimes snickerdoodles. My grandfather would walk up to our garden, and check out his competition. One year he planted 99 tomato plants, just because! One time when my grandmother and I went on a Greyhound trip to see family in Minnesota, we came back to our house first. My grandmother looked down to her property from our balcony and asked, "who is that bald guy in the garden"? Well it was grandfather! He had shaved his head because he thought Kojack was cool. Thing is he had a cone head with a pointy part, because he got struck by lightening as a kid. Grandmother scolded him about that shaving! Good times! My grandmother would drive up to our house and take our biggest pot down to her house. Then she would make the best minestrone soup, and make a loaf of bread, drive back up with it all, putting the soup on low. We'd come home to heaven!!

I hope we'll do something like this for September! I missed August.

Kate UK - I didn't find no 2 quite as good as the first, but the third one is excellent. Obviously it's best to read them in order though.
DH says "Thank you very much"
Did you just watch the Adrian Chiles programme on alcohol consumption. BBC 2? Very good, I thought.

I just realized when I scrolled past the pictures I posted both of these houses are no longer there. I knew it, of course, but my brother just tore my parents house down this month and I had forgotten for a bit. My grandparents has been gone since 2010. This is a view from my brothers house where these houses used to be now.

Rita - back to Roswell! Yes, I too am curious about the hosting.
My parents' farm was right next to my grandparents'. It was a hike thru the cornfield or over the snowdrifts to get to grand's house (we weren't allowed on the county road when we were little of course) but great memories. Probably half a mild between the houses...close enough but not too close.
We were so lucky to live next to them and grow up steeped in family history and their love like that.

Hi Sisters,I really enjoyed the photos and stories this morning. I love it when extended families grow up near each other. That's what I want for my own children and grandchildren here. I'm hoping a lot of our family will be able to get employed and involved in our bee business as it grows. I am just about to launch into the busy season of making queens here. Will probably put my first cells in this weekend. Wendy 5

I'm the oddball again, I can't do the tumeric capsules. I have tried twice and both times my finger joints get so sore it hurts to bend my fingers. It could be coincidental, but since it happened twice several months apart, I'm done with them.
Happy Saturday evening!

MACHKA......I've been on them for a couple weeks now, but the jury is still out. They were supposed to go a long way to get rid of the joint pain in my feet ... but if anything that's worse. Plus my hips have been really acting up in the last few days.
They may not be causing the pain, but they don't seem to be helping.
Thanks to OKIE & MACHKA & LISA .....for the review. You are not odd at all. Someone....LISA mentioned another med for arthritis Glucosamine,that did nothing for me. After a yr,gave what was left to a neighbor..........Melatonin doesn’t work for me,but does for a DD. I’m weird for sure.
Runs in my family.Sis is allergic to most meds.Have to be careful adding to meds I already take. Thanks again,Pat in Oh

Caught up! This summer has been very busy for us. My husband had a minor medical emergency while he was traveling for work and had to have surgery while he was in Atlanta. While they were taking care of that problem, they discovered a small tumor in his bladder, which they removed, thankfully, because it was cancer. Very small so no follow up treatment for that is necessary, but he will be checked out every 3-6 months for, I don't know how long. He is feeling old.
On the positive side, we had a fun time in Vegas earlier this summer, and my husband and I are going to London for almost a week at the end of September for a conference he has to attend. It will be my first time, although he's been there a few times in the past few years.
Much love to all.
