    Machka What happened in Christchurch is unthinkable. I am utterly and helplessly sorry for you and everyone else whose sense of safety has been rocked by this tragedy. :'(

    Thank you :) ... but ... we're in Australia and Christchurch is in New Zealand. I actually haven't read much about it at all today, and am not sure what happened. Too busy with work. :neutral:

    Machka, glad you are not terribly affected by the happenings in Christchurch.
    I know Tasmania is part of Australia. (Not confused). ;)

    We're kind of remote from these things. But I did read a news article about it after I read what you wrote, and it is terrible. Poor Christchurch ... they have not had a good time of it over the past several years. :(

    If anyone is not sure what we're talking about, you can read here: https://www.news.com.au/

    Just had dinner and trying not to eat too many "afters" o:) Not sure if my halo will slip, but trying to keep busy and not think about biscuits. (Looking at my food diary I waste far too many calories on biscuits and sweets)

    It's still very windy here, someone said we are due to have snow early next week, I hope they are wrong, I don't fancy walking in the snow, I am ready for warmer weather.

    I've been doing some knee exercises trying to strengthen my knee, I've noticed if I sit too long I am very stiff when I get up. Sometimes on a dog walk I have to stop for a minute to strech it out. Another reason to lose weight - I don't want to end up nearly crippled like my mum.

    Such sad news about the killings in New Zealand, there are some evil people in the world. :(

    I've been sat down long enough, time to take Leah for a walk around the block, hope we don't get blown away :) at least the sun is shining (for now).

    Take care - love to all <3

    Karen - it was you who alerted me to the Christchurch shootings. Then I looked it up. Words fail me. :'(

    Going to shop for a few bits with DH ,then we are going to try out our cleaning experiment. Wish us luck! :o

    Nicole from FL: Welcome! :smiley:

    Carol in GA: I use gmail but not chrome. I have no advice but I hope you figure it out. :heart:

    Heather: I’m pleased that things are wrking out for you to see your friends. :flowerforyou:

    Allie: With your love of animals working at a vet’s office might be a great change. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. :star:

    Connie in KY: Congrats on making your first weight loss goal!!! :bigsmile:

    Barbara: I like dark chocolate, too. The one that I nibble on most often is 72% cocoa. The 86% cocoa is also good, but I don’t choose it very often. It is available at Safeway and Walmart. Safeway is more reliable about keeping things in stock. :star:

    Rori: Thanks to Barbara I now know about the weather conditions in CO. I hope you are safe. :heart:

    Lisa: Which college in Oregon is your son going to attend? :huh:


    Terrorism anywhere reminds us all that hate crimes hurt the innocent. :broken_heart:

    My rowing machine arrived today! Now we've got to put it together.

    It was such a busy day at work with one meeting after another, and a long list of things I needed to complete. I think it's going to be like that from now till the end of March!

    So the rowing machine is still in the box.

    Thank goodness it's the weekend.

    Good morning!
    I went to a follow up appt with my electro-cardiologist. I’m doing good BUT I have to wear a heart monitor again for 3 weeks. I wasn’t ready to do that again. But eliminating regular coffee and no tea has helped. I’m only drinking one cup of decaf. I loved my coffee!

    I dropped 1 pound and looking forward to weigh-in tomorrow!

    Okie in TX I know the feeling about being tall and finding long enough pants. I usually go to Dressbarn for slacks. They have talls and are plenty long.

    Pray for the families of the shootings in NZ.

    Have a good day,
    Dana in Arkansas

    Katla - he's headed for Southwest Oregon Community College in Coos Bay for his first two years, and taking classes that will transfer credits to Oregon State in Corvallis - he's shooting for a degree in fermentation sciences, but I have no idea what he'll actually end up with. :disappointed:

    I have no words for the shootings in Christchurch, it just makes me heartsick.

    Love y'all,
    Lisa in Oregon

    For those "world is a terrible place and getting worse" times, here are some hopeful numbers. I just skimmed the text and went straight for the charts, paying attention to the range of years.
    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2014/12/the-world-is-not-falling-apart-the-trend-lines-reveal-an-increasingly-peaceful-period-in-history.html

    b4leaving "seated exercise" well done! "horribly afraid of falling" I am soooo with you.
    Rita, SMH that a teacher leading a class of third graders to check pollution levels in the lake would leave a box of trash on the ground. Unclear on the "pollution" concept...
    Beth :heartbreak: that your son's next door neighbor was in such pain. Ditto Evelyn's and Margaret's comments.
    Sharon, I had two Raleighs, one in my adolescence and teens, the other in my thirties. Loved 'em both and named 'em both "Roxanne". ;)
    Okie had the same "mysterious lights driving at night" experience once, couldn't figure 'em out til the pre-dawn glow enlightened me.

    Only thru pg 36 but really gotta get back on the meditation/knee exercise track.

    Lighter, lovelies!
    f8qt1s098sxm.gifBarbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
    walk one more step 14/31, 60 g protein 13/31, rx/vits 13/31, meditate 10/31, knee exercises 10/31, SWSY 1/8, play with Tumble 10/31, hang up or purge art 0/4 AF 11/31.
    Word for 2019: "GOOD" good attitude, good food, good times, good choices, good enough, feel good, GOOD!

    Heather: Your breakfast table looks so cheerful. Love having the big windows to look out as you eat. :)

    Beth: What a scare at your son's facility. How stupid could someone be to put a cover over a heater like the aide did. :#

    Good wishes and healing thoughts to all who need them...and don't we all!

    Good morning pals. Going to play golf but it is cold this morning. May not be too much fun but it will be exercise because I swing a lot.
    Kelly - Can’t believe Joaquin is 2 already. Has his hair grown out?
    Have to get ready. Thinking of you Tracy.

    Well, the cleaning went pretty well. Got nearly all of it done in an hour each. I'm sure DH won't object to me looking for a cleaner though! He made a great job of the stairs. <3 I have a couple of small things I want to have a go at later, like the rings on the gas hob.
    It's lovely when it's done! :DB) A glass of wine will be served in half an hour's time!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Dana - Thanks for the tip on Dress Barn. I didn’t know they have talls. I buy 99% of my pants/jeans/leggings from JJill. I usually buy when they’re 30% off or when they go on clearance.

    Woo

    Woo means: "This is BS. It is not backed up by scientific evidence."

    The meaning and use of the "Woo" emoticon is frequently misunderstood.
