    This is a fascinating website! You can see wind direction and all sorts of other things. You can see where the big winds are, like Typhoon Mangkhut and the 100 km/h winds down here in Tasmania. The strongest winds have mostly moved off Tasmania now, and we've died down to a relatively calm 40 km/h.

    You can move around to other parts of the world, and zoom in, and look at all sorts of other weather information too.

    Good morning all! Happy Saturday! First day off in 11 days and I get to spend the majority of today on my brother in laws boat out on the lake! Woo-hoo! This will probably be one of the last times he is able to get his boat on the lake this year. The weather is getting cooler and they are in the process of selling their home/moving. So the boat will be going into storage in the next couple of weeks.
    To all of you introverted ladies: You let this extrovert in long ago! lol It seems I am an ENFJ-A (like Heather I have no idea what the -A stands for) The Protagonist. I agree with pretty much all of the points that they touched on. I DO believe that some of my "ways" are learned; and life kind of forced me into these learned ways. By nature, I am more likely to sit back and let some one else do things. I love a good book. I love time alone. BUT...if I were retired, or had a job where I worked alone, I would most likely ALWAYS choose to be around people as much as possible. I am that woman that will strike up a conversation with you in the grocery line, bathroom, during a walk...Annoying, aren't I?! >:) This little tidbit on the sidebar made me giggle. Insight of the Day: Protagonists are the most likely personality type to make new friends during their travels. B):*
    Janet- You look amazing! I also love that cameo ornament that you made! So beautiful!
    Pip- <3 You and Kirby!
    Karen VA- You (and your grandson) are just amazing! Makes me happy to see him happy with his school/schoolyear! What a difference for him, yes?!
    Penny- Love, love, love the view from the hilltop! And those berries are HUGE! Our raspberries have come and gone and they never get that big.

    Well, I know there are people I am forgetting to respond to. *sigh* that's what I get for days of just reading and not responding right away! Sending love to all of you! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

    NYKaren- Netflix and chill?! >:) I hear you on the saltiness of restaurant pizzas, though. I can't do those anymore.

    Morning ladies - Another extrovert here (with introvert tendencies). I can't find my test to get all the letters, but that much I remember. I took the test once for a company I temped for. They wanted to hire me full time, but I didn't want to work there permanently. The drive from my home was fine for a couple of months, but not for the long term. Anyway, they had me do the test and then tested positive applicants looking for similar results. They liked the way I fit in at their small company (about 8 in the office, 20 in the machine shop). I took the test again years later when I worked at HP and got almost identical results. The lady that I worked most closely with was the complete opposite of me. We always said that she and I made one person, and we said after the test we had proof. She liked to work late, I worked early. Between the two of us, we manned a project almost 24 hours a day for a few months so someone was always available to help with issues.

    Michelle - IR is injured reserve (a sports term).

    Did Amy Dixon’s Give me 10 DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Prevention’s Slim, Strong and Firm DVD.

    There was a list of places that had evacuations and nothing was listed for Wake County where Raleigh is located. It’s just cloudy here today. I wish I knew how DJ was

    Yea for me! Today was my official weigh-in and I’ve lost the 4 pounds I gained while in St. Kitts. Horray!

    Sharon in WA – aren’t these rescue groups mainly for purebred dogs? I have no idea if that dog was a purebred or not. He was so sweet and at least I know that he’s safe. Even if the owner had evacuated and left him behind, you would think that the owner would at least have texted us. Well, at least I know that dog is safe and will most likely get a good home. On another note: I’m sure things’ll go OK during this “hurricane”. It’s been downgraded to just a tropical storm right now. Of course, the papers are sensationalizing things “deadly (we have to use that word) storm”. It’s just cloudy by my house right now.

    Penny – forgot to mention before, impressive oxygen uptake!!! I bet those raspberries WERE good. They certainly look it!

    I made pumpkin soup because I like pumpkin but that was something I didn’t care for (the soup). If I have extra pumpkin, I’ve even sometimes had it with my breakfast!. I like pumpkin bread, it in cookies, donuts, just about everything else. I just didn’t care for the pumpkin soup

    Vince just looked on weather.com and it appears that the rain should start soon. Evidently some roads are closed in Charlotte, but looks like we’re going to get a couple of inches less. Of course, this is a woman so she’s unpredictable. I have no idea why Charlotte roads are closed, it just started raining there. Our maximum winds have dropped down a bit from yesterday’s forecast.

    Karen in VA – I’m so impressed that your gs knew “trypophobia”. I had no idea the meaning and I’m MUCH older than he is  This storm most likely isn’t going to be all that bad. Mainly because people are prepared. It’s when you aren’t prepared that things are bad.

    KJ – one of the things that I liked about NC before we moved here and I was just checking out the area was the fact that people WOULD talk to you in the grocery line. As a matter of fact, the cashier would hold a complete conversation with you. Now in PA where we were, you could have a heart attack in line and the people behind you would be “well, I get to move further up the line”. People here would help you if you had an attack, I question if they would in PA – I doubt it. Perhaps the reason I’m an extrovert but also a “I’ll do it myself, and do it completely, in advance of when it needs to be finished” has to do with the fact that I many times had only myself to depend on when I was growing up.

    It's a little bit bland just on its own, so I often use quite a bit of black pepper or curry powder with it. I also don't make it from scratch. I buy it in the can or package.

    Also, roast pumpkin with roast chicken is really nice. We do a roast chicken surrounded by potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, onions, etc. that's yummy!! :)

    :)Sharon in WA, yes, I listen to audio books. My local library is connected to the Washington Anytime Library that has a huge collection of audio books and e books. I read e books on the Kindle app on my phone when my husband wants to lie down with me and I turn the light off and can still read. Right now I'm listening to an audio book and a choice of several podcasts, reading an e book, reading a fiction library book, and reading non-fiction book that I got from Paperback Swap.


    :) I took the test and here are my results:
    Personality type: “The Defender” (ISFJ-A)
    Individual traits: Introverted – 79%, Observant – 79%, Feeling – 72%, Judging – 94%, Assertive – 63%
    Role: Sentinel
    Strategy: Confident Individualism

    Barbie - I have a library card here in NC. I can get books (ebooks or audiobooks) from all over NC.

    I also have a library card in FL. There I can only get access to books from that county (which isn't all that big). :(

    I wish I could get more, but I can only get these ones.

    Kudos on your better oxygen uptake! You mention being an old gal. I’m 65! Is there hope for me after my gastric bypass, do you think?

    I’m really beginning to get excited about my surgery. I wish I had a date! Folks who call this “the easy way out” have no idea what adjustments and changes we must ready ourselves for. For most of us in my support group it was/is the last best hope for success after having tried almost literally everything else.

    Sharon in WA

    Sharon, I had gastric bypass almost five years ago at 64, I'll turn 69 in November. I lost 125 pounds. I workout with a 25# kettlebell and walk about 3 miles every morning on the treadmill. You are so RIGHT having approximately 80% of your stomach removed is NOT the easy way out. You must be sure to diligently follow your vitamin and minerals intake as instructed by your surgeon,nutritionist team for the rest of your life. You can face serious health consequences if you slack off. Of course there is hope for you!!!

    Machka: Sending good thoughts for those who are in the paths of storms in the Philippines and the south eastern US. :star: I enjoyed the weather app you shared.

    Sharon in WA: I also love Diana Gabaldon’s books. I have many of them that I bought from audible and all of them in printed books on my shelves. I’m not quite as fond of the Lord John military adventures. :flowerforyou:

    Penny: I’ve never seen raspberries that large before! I’ve always loved raspberries best of all berries. :heart:

    Karen: I hope that you don’t get hit by the storms. :star:

    Barbara: We travelled through your part of Oregon several years ago and found it lovely. :heart:

    Michelle: I’m not a pumpkin soup fan but I love it stir-fried. I also like sweet potatoes stir fried with beef or poultry. I think they taste similar to pumpkin but are much easier to work with. :flowerforyou:


    Barbie and other readers: Our local library is part of a system called Library to Go. We can download a huge number of books and read them on phones, ipads or computers. DH loves them on his ipad because he can set the size of font. This system is managed through Amazon. I used to listen to audiobooks while I commuted and bought quite a few. The company was Audible.com. It is now owned by Amazon. Those books are still available to me. I sometimes access them so I can listen while knitting. I don’t listen in the car because DH is not comfortable with them.
