    Tracey ~ Happy Birthday to you and your grandson!

    Lanette ~ I was looking up INFP because I didn't know what it was and found this site. I took the personality test and was surprised at the results. https://www.16personalities.com/infp-personality I think you would find it very interesting.

    Hoping all who visit here are having a blessed day!

    Thank you.
    My friend sent me that 16 personalities a while ago. It was eerily accurate for me, her and her daughter.

    Trucker, I think I found your Facebook page, last name begins with an A? I googled your place and its only 2 hrs awsy, 106 miles. I suppose that rd a blessing that we are up here in God's grayness, because with the medicines my husband takes for liver transplant anti rejection, he can't go out in the sun anymore. Thanks for the info though. Need to Google how far from where my son lives. Maybe a reunion at your resort could hapoen!

    Carol     - interesting site! The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has been around since after WWII and was created to help GI's find suitable careers. It's often eerily accurate and has been so for decades - and people generally don't change type as they age, but tend to remain one of the 16 types.

    If a person takes the MBTI authorized test, he/she will discover no one is really cut and dried, but tend toward degrees of a certain trait. And under stress the whole shootin' match can be up for grabs, lol. That might be why the INFP I read about this morning was compelled to slam the door shut. Introverts don't do well expending their precious limited energy on folks they consider to be hopeless cases, while Extroverts seem to get energized by the turmoil some folks cause.

    There's another fun personality test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter which breaks people down into four groups instead of 16.

    Why humans behave as they do is fascinating! B)

    Happy Birthday Tracey. Hope it was a great day.
    Michele- I am worried about you and the rains that are coming. Have you made any preparations?
    Janetr- I am so proud of you and want you to know you look fabulously.
    Been to yoga twice this week and it made me sore because it has been a couple of months since I went. Not sure it is good for my eye but it sure is good for my body and spirit.
    Penny- we were in Norway this summer and loved it. One of my granddaughters says she wants to live there when she grows up. She is 11 now.
    Barbie- glad you are healing and taking care of yourself. I started knitting a prayer shawl for my daughter’s birthday. Just have a week to finish it so hope I can do it.

    Barbie: I thought Bernie was advertising for the Salmon Festival. He's a cutie. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

    Machka: Dangerous snake in the toilet = my biggest nightmare. Lordy, don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight.!!!

    Janetr    : You rook mah-ve-lus dahling :heart: :heart: :heart: So proud of you. I bet the ornaments sell quickly.

    Penny: Love your posts and how they transport me to such a unique place in the world. Fresh new potatoes don't fall in your bucket every day. You'll run them off in no time.

    So concerned for my friends in Carolinas....prayers going up you all stay safe.

    Here we have clear, bright hot weather. I spent the hottest part of the day cooking a whole chicken in the instant pot, deboning it, then putting the bones back in the pot to make bone broth. It's just now finished cooking, so will get started straining. Smells good in here. Will make chicken burrito for DH's dinner. Big salad for me :)

    Stay well friends. We can do this.

    PennyThe potato digger sounds like a wonderful old man. I’m glad he has his son nearby to help. And you fortunate person! Chanterelles AND raspberries! I’m glad you share this with grandkids! The picture makes me put on my wishing hat. Is your climate milder due to the Gulf Stream curving your way?

    Lanette - I’m ENFP, and probably would have tested the same at 16 as I do at 75. People are beginning to discredit the test, but I think if you read a little further it is truly helpful. I first encountered it in college when trying to figure out why I was underperforming so badly. Going off on tangents didn’t help with most of my second year courses.

    Barbie - Bernie is just adorable!

    Rye - I think you may be my spirit animal, lol! All the kids in my guild call me “G-Ma”! I think I’ll try to implement your “no links or stories after 9Pm and see if it helps.

    Rori - Hiw much water do you cover the bones with to do bone broth? Do seasonings go in it? I’d love to make my own!

    Kate Uk - it was Spain! Forgive yourself and enjoy the memories!

    I’m still Sharon in WA

    Sharon: This is the recipe I used today. https://www.platingsandpairings.com/the-best-instant-pot-bone-broth/

    I know that KarenNY frequently makes bone broth, so she may have other suggestions.

    Hello again! Do nice to be here; thanks for the welcome!
    Today I recalculated my macros. Monitoring them is the most helpful too I’ve learned from MFP.
    Here are my calculations:
    Basil Metabolic Rate (BMR): 996.5
    Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): 1195.8
    Daily calories deficit: 10-25% of TDEE—I’m not doing this right now because I need to get my activity level up first. I set daily calories at 1200 for now. Lee’s than this is neither healthy or sustainable for me.
    This week I’ve set these macro goals. I’ll give them a week and see what results I get.
    Protein 25%
    Fat 35%
    Carbs 40%

    Did an Advanced Strength DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to go to the water aerobics class. Then going to the Salvation Army to make a donation.

    I’m supposed to volunteer at the Green Room then I need to stop at Food Lion since Vince is almost out of milk. Guess they’ll have some. If not….oh well. Then he wants to bring in the things from around the pool (umbrellas, ceramics, chairs, etc). They’re supposed to have this stitching at ACMoore tonight, I’ll go if there’s time. The more important thing is to get things inside. Update: Got the milk, they had quite a bit. By the time we took the dog to animal control (see below), had dinner, it was almost 7 and the stitching was from 6 to 8.

    Before I go to the Green Room I need to stop at the soup kitchen and then go see Lynette. Update: They were doing something to the road so it was closed. I had to circle waaaaayyyyy around to get to the soup kitchen. I met a woman who used to be in the water aerobics class.

    Janetr – I’m sure more than SOME of your ornaments will sell. They are all so beautiful. Congrats on the wonderful loss

    For some reason, I couldn’t sleep last night so I went into Shadow’s room. I took my phone with me just in case I fell asleep. It’s a good thing because I did fall asleep. For some reason the alarm went off at 5 so I just went into our bed and slept some more

    Allie – glad to hear things are moving with the house

    M – (((HUG))). If I EVER saw that in my toilet bowl, I honestly don’t know what I’d do after I screamed bloody murder

    Judy – welcome. This is a great place for support

    Brought in everything from outside by the pool, put my ceramics up. Vince had to buy two new shelves to accommodate my newer ceramics. Don’t know what we’ll do next year. He’ll think of something, I’m sure. This dog came by and stayed in our backyard. He had a collar on him with his owner’s name and phone number. We called a few times – went to voice mail each time. Vince texted him – no answer. We finally had to take the dog to animal control because we aren’t able to take care of a dog. And with the hurricane, we didn’t want to leave him outside. He was a very good dog. He must have been older, I think maybe he had arthritis in his legs because he didn’t want to walk up the steps from the backyard, I had to carry him. Also, he didn’t want to jump into the car, I had to pick him up. I feel bad that we took him to animal control, but I know that he’s safe. I do hope the owner claims him. Every kitten Vince saw he wanted to take home. When we were in St. Kitts there were some cats that came around the hotel, so he had to go to the store and buy cat food to feed them!

    Sharon – Loki doesn’t seem to be in any sort of pain. He just seems to get something in him.

    It’s really nice (but humid) weather here so I did a load of laundry and ran the dishwasher. Not that it really needed to be run, but by the time it’d get full, I’m afraid we’re going to get the rain. So I wanted to do it so hopefully the ground won’t get real saturated.

    Tracy in Edmonton – happy birthday. A snowman sounds really special

    Penny – today they were talking about your town on the radio. I couldn’t help thinking of you. Is it really true that people walk around wearing a shotgun because of all the bears? Is it true that when you go to a store or someplace, they have a locker for you to put your gun in? But they did talk about how beautiful your city was. They talked about how ships go there and I thought of Heather.

    SuebDew – we are very far inland. They are calling for some rain but spread out over a few days, so it won’t be that bad. The last time this area had a hurricane was Hurricane Hugo – 30 years ago. Vince wanted to have the generator accessible. I honestly don’t think we’re going to need it, but it makes him happy to have it so I helped get it out. If we do need it, the heck with a/c – hope to be able to have Internet  The only preparation I’ve made is I bought some spaghetti squash and butternut squash to roast. Oh, and today we brought in the furniture, ceramics, etc. from the outside. Vince used bungee cords around some of the chairs.

    Kate UK – welcome back!

    Michele in NC
