    wow 4 pages of posts since yesterday !

    Kate that sounds amazing. how long are you going for?

    Katia I know it's state by state- I voted for one in 2016 I think. I don't smoke so I didn't have much thought about it but it seems to have good results. that is one crazy neighbour.he sounds like a real psychopath.

    I'm glad to be more up to date today than yesterday. And really I was feeling pretty glum about work but got a couple of other things sorted out. It's nice to have reps working for us whether it works or not. I'm glad not to be on the front lines. I've gotten a lot of grief these last years for defending workers' rights. I'm disheartened to see much lack of integrity and forthrightedness at higher levels - at the image of what can be seen politically in many places in the world at present.

    Beth that is heartening news about your pooch. Would you share the specific CBD product or link? Is it Karen in VA's bluebird botanicals? Scooter is still rallying, went downstairs by himself this afternoon for the first time in awhile.

    Barbara ...https://canna-pet.com. They follow the same protocols that Karen in VA has recommended but their product is made for dogs/cats.

    Beth

    I just took a look at the canna-pet site, & there are 2 things that bother me about the website. One is that they list "mg hemp" instead of "mg cannabinoid".

    [This is like saying a Vitamin D capsule has "1 mg of Vitamin D oil". Vitamin D is measured in International Units (IUs) and the oil is an inert ingredient like soybean oil, so "1 mg of Vitamin D oil" is meaningless. Saying the capsule contains 5,000IUs of Vitamin D in a mL of soybean oil would be meaningul.]

    You have to know how many units or milligrams of the active ingredient (in this case cannabinoid) you are getting to make sense of it. To get this into perspective, the starting dose for most dogs is about 1mg of cannabinoid per day per approximately 5lbs of doggie. This would be about 4mg a day for a 20 lb dog. I saw one capsule product on canna-pet that claims it has "170mg of hemp", for pets under 20lbs, & you give 2 capsules per day. They don't tell you how many mg of CBD are in the 170mg capsule, though.

    The other is that they don't actually publish the third party testing. They make a statement saying the products have been tested, but haven't published the batch testing. For an example of what I am talking about, see spoiler:
    https://bluebirdbotanicals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Eurofins-Potency.pdf

    The canna-pet products may be absolutely wonderful, but the website information isn't rigorous enough for me.

    Rori: Sending good thoughts. I hope things go well with the orthopedist. :flowerforyou:

    Barbara the S Oregon Coastie: I hope you’re feeling better today. :star:

    Carol in GA: I’m guessing there are a couple of good reasons why the assisted living facilities expect their people to bring their own furniture. When my mom was moved into one, we brought some of her furniture. It made the place feel more like home. She was happy having some of her own things. We took her to visit her house a time or two. She used the opportunity to load up on cigarettes that she had stored there. She wasn’t allowed to smoke in her little apartment but she could sit outside on the balcony and smoke. Sadly, mom smoked so much over her lifetime that she destroyed her lungs. :sad:

    Bananas: We moved away from neighborhood with the cat poisoner nearly forty years ago. The cat poisoner, himself, has likely been dead for decades. If reincarnation is real it would serve justice for him to come back as a cat. :grumble:. Regarding MJ, I don’t smoke, either. DH used it for pain control for a while, and then was diagnosed with MS. The MS meds work very well & he hasn’t needed to use MJ for pain relief in years. :noway:


    If you look back into marijuana history, the alcohol and tobacco manufacturers put out a movie called Reefer Madness. It was racist and degrading & portrayed African Americans as addicted pot users. The purpose was to demonize pot and degrade African Americans so the manufacturers could sell more cigarettes and alcohol. I think this was done in 1936. I saw bits of it in the long ago past and it was 100% degrading BS.

    Tracey-Everything crossed that it goes well!!!!
    Rori-Interesting about the cat purring helping bones heal! The way my boy cat purrs, any bones would mend very very quickly :)
    Beth-Congrats on moving to Misses! I second (third?) the idea of a longer skirt.
    Lisa--Congrats on the new grandbaby news! I got to hold a 6-month old this past weekend and he was so cute and snuggly. I never wanted any of my own, but I will hold someone else's until forced to relinquish!

    Best to all,
    Elizabeth GA

    Today is Lost Sock Memorial Day!

    "How often have you reached into your sock drawer or laundry basket, perplexed to find one sock, but not the one that matches it? Chances are that you have held onto your lone socks, with hopes that someday their matches would return. Lost Sock Memorial Day is for looking for those lost socks one last time, honoring them, and then letting go by throwing away or putting to another use those unpaired socks that have been lingering in your sock drawer." It always seems to be my favorite socks that split up and go it alone.

    Tracey - Your pop-up cards are amazing! You are SO talented.

    bananasandoranges - I do love cross country skiing, but I wish I could find something to replace it now that I live in a place where it doesn't snow! I've never found another sport that I enjoy.

    Allie - Alfie looks like he's not quite sure about those new chairs!

    Kelly - We'll all be singing a different tune come July, but really I've had enough rain to last me awhile. Wish it would quit. Thank goodness we don't get tornadoes here very often... those things scare the stuffings out of me.

    Beth - Congratulations to your son on finding a summer job he's excited about!

    Karen - I'd love to try good CBD oil but it's not legal here and all the hype surrounding the products that are legal (industrial hemp oil, full spectrum hemp oil, etc.) is just too confusing for words. So far I haven't seen any results at all from hemp oil spray. If we get to go skiing next year, maybe I'll be able to bring home some of the "real deal" to try. In the meantime I take glucosamine/chondroitin and tumeric for arthritis.

    Barbie - I'm with you on pets. They are beloved members of my family and even though loving them eventually leads to heartache, I wouldn't trade away a minute of my time with them. To be honest, I like my pets better than I like most people.


    We are working on something fun: Philip is sponsoring a charity fundraiser for a local organization that provides prom dresses and tuxes for kids that otherwise wouldn't be able to go to prom. The way they raise money is to have local businessmen volunteer to get made up and dress in prom gowns and walk a runway. It's a ton of fun, but we're having trouble coming up with a good stage name. Miss Candy Apple was the winner last year but "Miss Magic Fingers" is probably over the line even though he's a massage therapist. This is a small, conservative town so if we get too racy it could hurt his business.

    Trying to get out of town. I dropped off the foster pup at the kennel for the weekend and now I'm frantically rushing to get all my work done and get packed so we can leave. Hope it doesn't rain the whole time we're gone or it'll be some long days in the RV!

    April goals went ok. Had 2 weeks of losing weight but then didn't lose weight the next week. The last week of the month I gained a pound. When you first start a diet it is hard to stay motivated when you are eating healthy and gain weight. But since I have been diagnosed with Diabetes I have no choice but to stick with it. These are changes I have to deal with for the rest of my life.

    With that my May goals:
    *Not focus on my weight as much. I have decided to weigh myself once a month.
    *Continue working on figuring out recipes that are low in carbs.
    *Meet with my dietitian at the end of the month to go over my past meal plans to evaluate.
    *Boost up my exercise plan. This month I will do water aerobics twice a week. I will also be doing yoga on Sundays with my daughter.

    On a fun note:
    My garden is coming a long. A few more seeds to plant in the raised beds. All my seedlings are planted in the green house. My apple tree is in full bloom which brings a smile to my face. I also just put up my butterfly/bee house but now my daughter has informed me she wants to paint it so down it comes.

    Favorite Recipe last month:
    Smashed Potato Pizzas
    Ingredients~
    Red Potatoes
    Olive Oil
    Marinara Sauce
    Ground Turkey
    Onions
    Sweet Peppers
    Tomatoes
    Cheese
    Instructions located at https://www.diabeticfoodie.com/2015/08/smashed-idaho-potato-pizzas-gluten-free/
    For my recipe: Calories 231/ Fat 10g/Carbs 19g/ Sodium 272mg/ Fiber 3g/

    Would love to connect.
    Hope everyone has a good month and "Happy Mother's Day" to those who help nurture others!

    Yvonne Hopefully Texas will come along & officially legalize CBD oil. I know there are still a few states that have a grey area when it comes to CBD oil, even though the Federal government has legalized it.

    Tracey Such a poignant, compelling story about Linda. Thank you for sharing that with us. So moving. She was a major role model for you and sounds like a truly wonderful person.

    Karen in NY I hope your "wing-stretching" feels good once it's over.

    __________

    My grandson is taking his first SOL right now. I intended to drive him to his test in our nice Subaru, which is always clean and spiffy and fun to ride in. It's mainly my partner's car. She is out of town right now, so I had my choice of cars. Wouldn't you know it, Monday afternoon I was driving the nice Subaru & it was rearended. There is quite a bit of rear-end damage, but by being proactive, persistent, and assertive, I have helped get the show on the road. It may be done as early as Tuesday. My partner will be back Sunday. I haven't told her about it yet because there was no point in worrying her & ruining her vacation (I stayed home because of our heart failure dog and SOLs). I will tell her on Sunday when I pick her up from the airport. We may need a rental car for 2-3 days after she gets back, but right now I am just driving our Honda Element. It's not nearly as nice to ride in, because we use it as a utility vehicle. So my grandson was disappointed when I drove him to his SOL in the Element (he dislikes it), but I reminded him that the Subaru was in the shop, and he handled it philosophically. Today is 7th grade Reading SOL.

    Barbara and Karen VA ... my apologies. I stand corrected. I shared information regarding a pet CBD product that is working for my aging lab. I knew that it used CO2 extraction and mentioned things similar to what Karen had recommended. It obviously does not meet the same standards.

    Hi! First time here. I’m Linda age 51. I
    Just started walk/run intervals to lose 25 lbs so I could use all the support/motivation I can get. Love quotes and mantras. I’m following a program called from fit to finish line which trains you to run a mile. I make weekly goals. My goal is to go to the gym 5 days. Run/walk 3 days and strength train 2. Anyone out there a runner?

    Katia I was wondering about ms and mj. my bil smoked regularly before it was legalised but has ms. yeah and also it must have been good for organised crime to have mj be illegal.oh wow I didn't know if was expensive in the dispensaries. I thought I had read that the prices had gone down. maybe that depends on where you life. I didn't like smoking much and haven't seen about 20. I might like to try it again some day. legal might be quite different than illegal.


    Yvonne I used to love cc skiing. will you do annual ski vacations?

    bananas and … , yes. Things have changed a lot regarding pot! I suspect it has at least somewhat to do with the generation in political power right now. They tried it, they liked it, and have gone on using it - laws be dambed - with much fewer serious problems than with alcohol.

    I, too, tried it in 1969, and became paranoid as f___ every time. However with done coaxing from those of my kids and grandkids who know, I tried CBD oil for my arthritis and fibromyalgia - ingested, not smoked - and have experienced relief, improved sleep, and except for one time when I hurt a LOT and took a bit more, no high. Even then it was simply a mild floaty sensation. Quite pleasant, since I didn't have to be anywhere, and NO paranoia. One $50 1 gram tube has lasted me for over 3 months. I dispense an amount equal to a small grain of rice onto my finger and lock it off. Doesn't taste very good, but 20-30 minutes later I'm almost pain free.

    Lisa in AR, congratulations on your expected grandchild! 💞

    Beth, I agree with Machka, why not get a mid-calf or longer dress? Lots of pretty selections in stores now! It's become one of my go-to looks as I lose weight.

    Rori! I don't think it's just bones that cat purrs heal. Goldie insisted on crawling gently onto my tummy as I looked in my recliner after gastric bypass surgery. Once there she would purr up a storm. I had almost no post-op pain and very few issues with nausea and such. Put a thin cushion between your feet or a pillow between your legs at night.

    Machka, I suffer from dry eyes, but the lubricant drops help a lot. Be aware, too, of any air current that directly hits your eyes such as heating or AC ducts or fans. And if you don't already, start wearing sunglasses, not just when it's sunny, but also when it's bright overcast.

    Oh, Barbara AHMID! They don't slice them iff! They very carefully cut around the outer aureola, preserving the stalk that contains the nerves and blood supply. After removing the excess tissue from the lower slopes, they make a new opening higher up and reattach. Many are able to nurse children later, and most regain nerve function. I'm glad I had mine done. My neck and shoulders don't ache anymore, and I've reduced prime cancer territory by over one-third.

    RV Lisa, hang in there. I found meeting with a dietician was one of the best helps before my surgery! They can help you find good compromises for your list favourites, plan snacks, even provide tons of recipes.

    Poor Rebecca! Sounds like the mishap bug that's going around bit you hard! I hope the RICE will help your ankle and the rest resolve quickly. I'm afraid I'd be barking at your 29-YO! Clueless is a good word to describe that attitude.

    Tracey, your story regarding the loss of Linda sounds like it hit with a sledgehammer blow. I know that feeling well. It never fully heals, but we revisit it with live rather than intense pain after a while.

    Love to you all!

    Barbara - Sorry for the loss of your friend. Hugs to you.
    I can do hoodies or sweatshirts, which would you prefer and which colour do you prefer?

    Felicia - I loved the waterbeds for the heat. They were so comfortable for that. Happy you didn't have to wait long for your test results and that everything looked good.

    Rita - The parrot is beautiful.

    Rebecca - I don't think anything prepares us for the work involved in a move. It is the going back to the old place to clean that bothers me the most, when that is done I feel more settled. Hope you can get a little rest once that is done and then take your time setting up your new home. I love that fireplace, I always wanted a hearth I could sit on.

    Sharon - I think talking about the losses and what the person meant to us helps them live on. I for one, love your stories and don't feel you are dragging it on at all. This is a story about the death that I still struggle with.
    I had a lady (Linda)in my life that I talk about to anyone that will listen to me. I met her when I started dating her son, I was 12, he was 13. He was the first boy I really liked. Of course, we couldn't really do anything without one of our Mom's driving us or picking us up and we mostly visited at each others houses as there were no activities for young people in our community. When we broke up we remained friends and still visited years later.

    In Grade 9 he disappeared over Christmas vacation, no one knew for a few months where they were or what had happened. Eventually we found out that they had moved to a neighbouring town after their stepdad beat their mother terribly. It took 6 police officers to get her out of the house safely, she had a fractured skull and was beaten terribly. I started visiting them at their new house and fell in love with their mother. My Mother was very childlike and I couldn't talk to her about teenage girls problems. Sex, drugs, alcohol, any of it. Linda, taught me about so much, how to respect my body, how to say no to peer pressure. I just loved her. When I ran away from home I ran to her, but she made me call my parents to let them know where I was before she would allow me to stay. I only stayed for one night before I was dragged home by my grandparents.

    We kids all grew up fast, her daughter found out she was pregnant on the last day of exams in grade 12, she received her wedding invitations and college acceptance letter in the mail on the same day. I stood up with her and became even closer to Linda, I am Godmother to her three grandchildren. Her daughter and son in law got stationed in Manitoba a long way from home and I would visit Linda and we grew closer. In 1994 when I went back to school, we (my husband, daughters and I) moved in with Linda for 2 years. She wasn't able to work due to a degenerative spine disease and I needed help with the girls while I went to school. (My husband drove transport) My girls did and still do call her Grammie Linda. We moved out of her house in February 1996 and got our own place again. On August 30th of that year I looked out my window and her daughter was pulling in. They had been stationed back to New Brunswick at that time. I thought it was strange as it was the first day of school and they lived two hours away. Her daughter came in the house and asked me to watch the two oldest kids because her Mother had been in an accident. She would let me know what was going on, but would I please call her Mother in Law and let her know I had they kids and they had made it safely to town. When I called her her Mother in Law, (who I had known all my life) I told her I had the kids and that Lesley would let me know what was going on as soon as she knew. Her MIL, said "what do you mean? Linda's dead". I collapsed and started screaming. Thankfully my husband was home and we lived across the hall from his sister. They managed to get all the kids to her house and they were able to calm me down. I will never forget her and I miss her every day. She was 48 and too young. I dream about her quite frequently and know that I will see her again someday.

    Pip - I'll work on a card next week for Kirby and see what I can come up with.

    Carol - I agree that that is too much information to share on facebook, but I have found with some people that they post things out of desperation, they are really looking for a listening ear. I hope your sister and her husband work things out and it doesn't come to fruition. My cousin that I visit frequently had two friends husbands leave them last week, both had been married 30+ years. I can't imagine it.
    That is good news that you found a place for your BnL, I am shocked as well at what needs to be provided. It is good that your husband is able to help. I wonder what happens to people that have no family.


    Bananasandoranges - When Canada became legalized in October everyone thought it was going to be all over the place, the kids would be getting it, etc. Funnily enough, the biggest users are the people that were doing it illegally, seniors and people with medical conditions. I overheard a conversation at a craft fair in December between a group of seniors, there were probably about 6 of them. They were talking about different things they could make for edibles, how much it had improved their life and how thankful they were that it was made available. They were saying they had wanted to try it for years, but didn't feel right going to meet some guy in a dark alley. Here there are still a lot of guys in dark alleys, because the government has made it more expensive in the dispensaries. Maybe someday they will get it all together.

    Lisa - Congratulations on the exciting news!

    Lanette - that is quite the image you put in my head about having everything crossed for me. Thank you, I appreciate it. I can picture my friends and family all walking around with everything crossed and it is easing my nerves. I am trying not to stress too much, I have done everything I can do, now I just need to win him over and let things fall where they may.

    Ginny - I hope you managed to get some sleep, I never sleep well in a hotel on the first night. I hear every little noise there is, and just seem to toss and turn.

    Okie - Rant away! That is unacceptable. I hope they issued a credit or did something for your wait.

    Beth - Congrats on the NSV. I am thinking of buying a dress this year for the first time in a long time. I thought it would be nice to wear to the showers I'll be attending for our daughter.

    Rori - I don't know how anyone could sleep with a boot on, I wish you good luck. I watched the Tidying Up series on Netflix when my daughter got into it and started organizing her house because of it. I ended up crying through some episodes. My husband "watched" it while playing his video game and every so often would say, I'm so thankful you like a neat and orderly house. That's probably one of the only times he's ever said anything about my housekeeping skills.

    Machka - I hope the mask helps you when you get to use it tonight. I bet it would feel wonderful to close your eyes for a bit, but agree, probably wouldn't go over well at work.

    Katla - That is an awesome project to get built, I have never seen anything like that.

    Heather - You have a way of writing that takes me right there. I felt like I was sitting with you last night at your French circle.

    Lisa and Beth - I am shocked at the way military are treated. I don't believe that is the case here at all.
    I know that they have to pay for some things but do get reimbursed, but I think that if it will cause hardship on the family they can have it advanced.

    Karen in NY - Have fun.

    Thank you all so much for the well wishes and congratulations on the interview. I hope by the end of next week they have made their decision and I can either move on or look forward to starting. The unknown bothers me more than anything else.

    Yesterday was a good day for our family, I had the news about the interview and Rodger received a text in the afternoon from his boss. He has made provisional status with his job. I'm not sure of the full definition of this, but it means a raise and in the Fall when they are hiring for Winter workers he can check a box on the application that gives him priority over others that doesn't have it. It sounds like the position he is training for this week might become available full time as well. That is a $10 an hour increase in pay. Hopefully it all works out, we will both have jobs that last and we can start getting ahead.

    Today the Maid of Honor and two Bridesmaids are coming to my house to craft for the Bachelorette party for Kaitlyn. We are making shot glasses, shirts, wine glasses, banners, signs and I'm not sure what else. I am so blessed that these young women are including me in their preparations. I am invited to the party as well, but will probably only go out on the Saturday afternoon and let them party on without me. I will see what my daughter thinks. It would be nice, they have rented a house on a lake and it looks very peaceful.

    My friend that asked me to join swimming lessons with her and paid for me to go has texted me that she will not be attending this week or next week. Last week and this week she is sick and next week she has a grad. I hope she can start attending after that, it is a shame to pay and not go. The money is non-refundable, but more importantly I was looking forward to doing it with her.

    I need to get off here and tidy my house a bit before the girls start arriving. I am sure I will have time to spare, they are a late bunch. I don't know how we'll make out getting them all to the wedding on time.

    Barbara and Karen VA ... my apologies. I stand corrected. I shared information regarding a pet CBD product that is working for my aging lab. I knew that it used CO2 extraction and mentioned things similar to what Karen had recommended. It obviously does not meet the same standards.

    Beth sorry

    Karen ... my apology is sincere. I should not have tagged you in a post ... which makes others assume that this was something you would endorse. Your research is correct and the products are not the same or at least not presenting the same.

    Rebecca- sosorry about your fall. Rori is right you need to get checked. My son came home from College at Christmas after walking around on what he thought was a sprained ankle. Took him in and his foot was broken.
    We are actually celebrating his birthday tonight in Dallas.

    Beth Let me explain something about me that might help a little. I am a scientist who relies on evidence-based research & facts in my work. I don't need to be a bulldozer, though. The products you use for your pets are probably great. The company has enthusiastic reviews and support from many happy customers. Anecdotal evidence is compelling when it is overwhelmingly positive, as it is for canna-pet. And I am intrigued by the "Entourage Effect", which I plan to look into a little more thoroughly. I hope that helps. (((Hugs)))

    Tracey - So sorry for your loss. Linda sounds like a fantastic lady. I'm glad you had someone in your corner when you needed her.

    Showered after an interesting day at work, and the hubby is picking up dinner on the way home, he'll be here soon. Dr.'s appointment is tomorrow, so hopefully soon will at least have a place to start and at least get some answers, and hopefully treatment. Not much hope of that tomorrow (hoping I'm wrong about that), but eventually.

    Speaking of which, Rebecca, I'm on the side of you getting checked out as well. Much better safe than sorry.

    Tracey, my dear, I'm so sorry about your Linda's loss. Some people leave ripples throughout our entire lives, and it sounds like she was the one who did that with you.

    Sharon, always love to see you posting...

    Speaking of which, for those who remember her, and there are still a few, Damit Janet (or DJ) still occasionally posts on Facebook. I miss her. It's always nice when folks like Rye pop in to say hello and let us know how they're doing.

    The weather's starting to get to me - weeks of rain, we're getting a whole 48 hours without, and it's still dark and gloomy. Rain slated to come back Saturday morning, early. Bleah.

    Love y'all,
    Lisa in AR

    :)Rori, I don't know what kind of boot you have to sleep in, but I wore these on my feet for a couple of months as a remedy that didn't work for something that was later corrected by surgery. I was so glad to not have to sleep in them any more.
