    Evening all-had a good day. Got stuff done (including and HR issue late in the day, it wasn't so good, but I handled it as well as could be-won't miss that when I retire). But, ate well, stayed in line and got three 30 minute walks in.

    @cmsavells -I had no toys left, but I had sons so it worked out. I think instead of therapy, I’ll just keep on with weight loss and exercising. Finding it easier to get rid of stuff when taking care of me!

    @Machka9 -some Professor do such silly tricks. It’s easy to write tests to trick, harder to teach to learn. Saw a lot of that (I ended up with Ph.D.)-tried not to play those games when I taught.

    @coastalgosgal -nothing better than holding a grandbaby!

    @wizzywag - so sorry to hear about your father.

    @bananasandoranges -totally relate to socks. Haven’t started clearing those out yet. That will be tough!

    @drkatiebug -I was at our Synod Assembly (just for Southern Ohio) this past week end. Luckily not much in the way of politics. Current Bishop reelected on first ballot by overwhelming majority. Isn’t often that easy! Hope yours isn't bad.

    Off to bed soon--have to be at work early for a 7:30 meeting tomorrow.

    Did one segment of 10MS Carb Burner DVD then took the extremepump class. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jillian Michaels Killer Arms and Back DVD. This is a new one for me so we shall see how it goes.

    Rebecca – I hate to say this, but I wasn’t looking at you!...lol You could have been wearing your pajamas for all I would have noticed

    Bananas – yes, there are only 4 houses on our street.

    Viv – I’m so very sorry to hear about your dad

    Heather – those trainers are so cool! I’m sure Ros will see them and smile

    JR – don’t worry one bit about the extra “l”. You have no idea how many people spell it this way.

    Laurie – welcome! You posted perfectly

    Carol – so glad you went back to the gym and got good help

    Rori – looks like you had a great time

    After exercise counted the collection money then bowling. Ceramics tonight and then went to mahjongg.

    Heather, so glad you got your bling trainers in time for the funeral! Sounds like this will be a sad and yet joyful occasion. Sending you HUGS.
    Lisa, you are a smart woman, letting hubby do the heavy lifting and saving your hands! Congrats on the grant!

    Mary, you look amazing!!!
    Pip, that still looks so painful! Happy to hear that you are healing quickly. Hoping for the best for Bullwinkle and supportive of your decision not to put her through chemo, should it be cancer.
    Carol in GA, happy to hear that you had a good positive experience at the gym! Your endurance will build up on the machines, just push a little bit more everyday! Although having said that, don't go crazy! Even an extra 30 seconds every few days will produce results!
    Rori, lovely photo of you DH and friends, so glad you had a fun time snd that your ankles are healing!!

    Heather, hubby and I saw Sir Elton here in 2011. It was a bittersweet night, the concert of a lifetime on the night my mom passed away. He does put on a helluva show!!

    The medical doctor who was treating John was very happy with his progress. He told us he thought it would take he at least another week to get to where he is right now. I firmly believe mom and dad care spend up his recovery. I also think playing the healing music had an effect. Unfortunately I can't take my lap top into where he is recovering next. I hope to see him home by the end of next week. It was a long week. We took him in last Wednesday morning.

    There are so many great meditative and calming videos to listen to on you-tube. Noni the woman I met in the park when I was visiting my home town told me about them. To find them look up 741 hertz or deep healing music.

    Rebecca - the blue line diapers work great until they get bigger then their buckets of pee it goes yellow line to blue line to green to white lol so you check can’t tell without the old fashion feel for mushy or wet test. Their definitely better than the cloth ones I used for my 1st kiddos. I like these better! Only had disposable back then for on the go. They were well tape sides! Like the Velcro on these new ones! Especially for potty training their better than the pull-ups!

    Michele- fighting this auto correct only JR can get it to listen guess you got to be 2yrs old now of days lol. I hate it cause I like names to be right. No one gets mine correct the pronunciation is Ember theirs no loud A in the Native American Alphabet! Yet everyone likes to pronounce a huge loud A .
    My last name everyone misspells too so oh well. At least my whole family has this issue lol. Aunt Níla (Nãla pronounciation) had gets so mispronounced she would do it back to them.Older she got better she got at quick puns! Lived past 100. You say Nilla she says hello Michael. She was a card. Also ran folks over with the wheelchair did it extra much at my grandpa funeral (her brother) cause she saw me 🤭 giggle. The funeral director dived into the bathroom 🚽.wheeee down the hall she went my cousins jumped into some bushes lol. She put my Daughter in the coffin ⚰️ with her cousin (Both were 4yrs old y 3 1/2yrs they hugged on grandpa). Luckily funeral home was used to Native American funerals for our family they stopped batting an eye decades ago. Her y everyone sand Amazing Grace she taught the little ones the words so we could all sing together then she sang alone a Native hymn to him for brothers. After we went out to eat the happy stories y songs about grandpa continued for 3days we had MothersDay meal with Grandma the day he died was MothersDay. We don’t fear death in our family. Only time death has scared me is a funeral on Moms side never went again.... was very different. Moms funeral ended with a beautiful meal also Dads smile was so big as he spoke about her y my Daughter listening 👂.I took the picture as my Hubby went for ice creams for us all was a long line. It’s a joyous time we’re taught from a young age. We even played tag in the cemetery while funerals took place even for our German Jewish relatives. Was always adults hugging,laughing,singing,y kind sad eyes. They believed the joy of children at such a time marks the persons happy legacy left behind for all to enjoy.

    Kim - I didn't find your post political, I hope that you find something that will help make up your loss from the school.

    Beth - I hope that your husband has started treatment fast enough. A friend of mine had lyme disease when it was a fairly new disease. It seems they've come a ways treating it now.

    Margaret - I hope your son telling his story is cathartic to him and I hope he continues to get well.

    Connie and Ginny - I too hold onto things for years. In 1997 when we moved from NB to Alberta I had to downsize considerably. I had a large hamper full of cards that I had received from the time I was about 13 (around 27 years worth) birthday, Christmas, Anniversary, etc. I also had all of my husband's and daughters. I decided I would throw them away, I lugged that hamper up the stairs and out to the garbage bin. I went to hoist it up to put in the bin when I realized I couldn't do it emotionally even if I could do it physically. I got that hamper back into the apartment and it stayed at my Grandmother's house for years. I went through it and saved a bunch of cards and just this past winter I went through them again to try to get rid of some more. I have a cedar chest and probably 3 boxes worth of mementos that I need to figure out what to do with.

    Barbara - My husband is very handy which is really good to have. My Dad was a carpenter and electrician. I know enough to get by, but hubby truly does most of the work. The paneling has been replaced in about 1/4 of this trailer with drywall. Yes casing is the moulding around the doorway and floorboards. I will post a picture of the bathroom door after this. I so love it!

    Rebecca - I have anxiously been waiting for that picture of you and Athena Rose. How lovely. Get all the snuggles you can.

    Viv in UK - So sorry to hear about your Dad.

    Heather - Love the shoes.


    Carol - I logged in to read around 45 minutes ago and still have 2 pages to go. There were 75 new posts since I read last night. We sure are a talkative bunch. :) I'm so happy you had a better experience today.

    Mary - Wow you are stunning! You did all of that with kettleball exercises? What else did you do?

    Rori - What a lovely picture. My lifelong best friend and I have been friends since Grade 2. I am so anxious to see her when she comes for my daughter's wedding. 26 days to go for the wedding, so 24 for her.

    Janet - I think I would choke on my water if someone asked me that too. Isn't that one of those questions you shouldn't ask anyway?

    Well I am caught up again and will probably be behind again tomorrow. Kaitlyn is coming tomorrow so we can craft the gifts for the bridal party. We also have a couple of errands to run. I am making supper for all of us as well.

    We got the bathroom door installed today after I finished painting and doing touch ups. I am so happy with how it turned out and we have decided that for sure we will be buying another one for our bedroom door when I get back to work. This was one of the two big things I wanted done before Rodger's Mom and my best friend arrive. The other is cutting down three trees that are dying. 2 cedar and 1 bush of some kind. That will be done by this weekend I'm sure. There are 4 that needs cut, but the other one is fine for this year if need be.

    Janetr- you are very welcome! Your profile picture is stunning! I’m glad you have had great success with the Kettlebell. It tightens up every thing over time. What a great sideways compliment from Jack’s ex! You definitely are a success story!

    Tracey in Edmonton this woman is a piece of work. From the time I first started dating Jack she has said/asked outrageous things. Very often I've had to go clear outside so no one would see my tears. I just think she's never heard the word restraint. I can't help but think these these type of people must be very unhappy. I refuse to let them steal my joy :)

    Janetr OKC
    This looks like a classic case of ex-wife jealousy, Janet. This saddo hasn't resolved her feelings about her failed (marriage?). You have what she patently wants. So she very deliberately sets out to embarrass or wound you.

    Rori: What a wonderful photo! :heart: I hope we’ll get to see you on a future trip. :flowerforyou:


    I have been hoping for DH & I to travel to see my daughter and her children this summer but DH is not supportive of the idea. He doesn’t feel up to the trip, and it would be a long one. I keep hoping. He has suggested that I fly by myself to see them. I’ve done it before. I hoped for the RV trip and still do.

    I would love to get some suggestions and advice from Rita, Mary and others who’ve taken long RV trips. We’ve travelled within a few hundred miles of home but haven’t gone farther than 400 miles from home in the RV so far.
