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.

Here is our bathroom door all installed. I bought a handle tonight that we’lll put on tomorrow.

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!
Mary from Minnesota/Arizona3 -
I would like to walk around the neighborhood after lunch and dinner (2 times daily) which would be about 4 miles a day. I would also like to drink more water and stay away from sugary drinks and sugary foods.

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

Tracey - Thanks. I lost most of my weight by CICO. I nearly killed myself doing 4-5 hours of cardio every single day. Then I found weight lifting and shed inches in less then an hour a day. I was introduced to the Kettlebell by my brother. That cut my workout time down to 10-25 minutes a day depending on where I was in the 5 week program. I only recommend Strongfirst program. Progressive overload. Continuous increase in weight or reps... I also do intermittent fasting 19:5 which means I don’t eat for 19 hours then I eat during the 5 hour window of time. I eat really late because I like to eat while watching a little TV at night. I love eating Keto most of the time but have my donut days too. What do you do? Maybe some of the others might want to share their success strategies and exercise.
Mary from Minnesota/Arizona5 -
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.janetr7476 wrote: »Tracey in Edmonton this woman is a piece of work.

Rori: What a wonderful photo! 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.

Rori - I'm so glad your DH was able to enjoy his birthday. You are doing a great job!
Kim- I originally wanted them for my school year reunion July 31st, but then I thought they would be perfect for the funeral. Ros always noticed what I had on my feet and loved my old pair of bling trainers. I will keep them for 'best' until the reunion is over then wear them all the time as they are super comfortable Skechers. I'm going to wear the funeral outfit to the reunion, maybe minus the leggings if it's hot. Tomorrow will be cool and changeable.
Done my exercises and will be catching the train after lunch. Might get the bus in to Brighton Station, rather than Hove. I was going from our local station, but there is only a ticket machine there.
Feeling a bit nervous.

Just got my assignment back: 87%!
That's 88.4% for the in-course part (53/60) ... means I passed the course!
My exam is on Thursday and I have to get at least 45% on that, but a decent in-course mark takes some of the pressure off.

Glad you are not letting her take any of your power.
Tracey love love love the door.1 -
Rori ~ Great photo of you, your hubby, and friends. So glad you had a good time.
Tracey ~ Yes! That door looks great. You and your husband are so talented.
Welcome to all the new posters and best wishes to all!
Carol in GA1 -
Tracey - love the door - it's what I wanted to do for the hall and the bathroom doors, but my husband nixed it due to the expense (the hardware alone here is nearly $500).
Heather - Love the blingy sneakers.
Slept more than 7 hours - most unusual for me. My husband even got up and got ready for work without waking me, even more unusual, and Egg (the cat) actually didn't come in and jump in the middle of me to see if she could wake me! Sometimes the universe knows you need to sleep, I guess.
Second day in a row walking - the park is out, as it's silly to drive the half mile, and the shoulders are too narrow and curves too tight to risk walking by the roadside (no sidewalks) to the park here. So I walked around the edges of our property - three laps yesterday, four today (.66 miles), five tomorrow. It's uneven ground, which is actually good for the knee replacement, to get some wobble that it has to correct with the muscles. My husband's talking about clearing more walking path up into the forested acres, and I'm all for it.
Buried in data all day yesterday, ten straight hours. Unfortunately, not quite the results we'd hoped for, but it's preliminary, so hopefully will come closer to good results as the remaining data gets entered. We'll see.
Love y'all!
Lisa in AR5 -
Oh Tracy - Barn doors my favorite! Hubby trying to take the country out of me turn me into a city girl for years,but not working. Lol I get more country with age.
As to Ms Edmonton we let these Women like her run us over too many decades. Start practicing in a mirror things to say. Remember when everything said y done your day will still be great. She will be bitterly staring out a window like usual crying.So don’t let her put her sorrow on you! When she asks something outrageous answer like you deaf ...she asks why would you marry him?.... Say Yea he did make me beautiful doors thanks for asking.
That’s not what I asked! .... I know they are hard to install but he did it out of love.
She says something else say... yes it dies look like rain. She’ll get bored of it either get the hint your not going to play her game or you call her such a wonderful B word with a smile walk off like you said a compliment. Leave her crying y confused for once looking dumb. The others will console her then walk off seeing you as a hero they’ll slowly start de crowning their queen bee!
