    Well done Annie! :D The first step is the hardest.

    Had a nice day with my friend. Her husband is really rather boring and takes ages to get out a thought. His wife is quick of wit and can talk like me! I just mainly talked to her, though I hope I wasn't rude.
    Lunch food went well and the homemade mango and coconut ice cream was delicious! I had limes to squeeze over and a lime zest, mint and sugar dust. :laugh: DH was most impressed.
    We went out for a 4 mile walk along the seafront and finished the day with tea and flour less chocolate cake from our posh bakery. Heaven!
    They are now safely hitched up at their campsite.

    I am squeaking in under calories. Just. Thank goodness for exercise. I did all my morning session.

    Going to watch another Wallander tonight. :D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Shingles vaccine - I’ve had both the old one and the new two series one. My Grandmother had shingles and was miserable every time she had a flair. I don’t want that so I’ll do what I can to prevent them

    Happy Wednesday Ladies!

    Terri - I really wish the guy would get the teleporter back to me. I want to take a ride on your boat! B) . The teleporter.... how hard can it be to replace a flux capacitor? I have a feeling the mechanic took it off for a test drive and I'll never see it again, lol.

    Make it a great day, ladies! <3

    I have a similar problem with my TARDIS. It’s so well camouflaged that I can’t find it.

    105* outside today just got home if anyone wrote to me just tired missed it sorry. Haircuts,eating out,.99c coat sale to load up for boy sizes plus 2 for me,a few look around shops,toddler play center called Just Add Kids Lol. JR tried to play with a girl she was bossy wouldn’t share so he glared at her as he walked around her. He just glares so didn’t phase her at all lol. He hid some toys under me because he didn’t want her to touch them so I became a hiding spot for cars 🚗. Cling to his sister after that to feel safer.

    Here’s hoping he remembers the memories she’s trying to make when home once a year.

    My mother had shingles so I got the first shot. Had shingles twice after that. Found out later that first shot was never intended to prevent shingles only the post-herpetic nerve pain that can sometimes follow it. Have since gotten the new vaccine which is actually meant to prevent it so here's hoping it works and I don't get them again.

    Went with DD on Sunday to see "Wicked". Really enjoyed it. It was a great production.

    Allie - I think you are on the right track for a job that suits you.

    Pip - Hope Kirby has awesome birthday.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    Went to the water class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jari Love’s Slim and Lean DVD

    Lisa – the only thing I can add to your post is that we all respect each other.

    Kirby – happy birthday

    KJ – there was this one lady I wanted to unfollow but I couldn’t figure out how to do it so I finally unfriended her. Some of the things she was posting were so out of it, that I couldn’t be bothered to even read them. There were more things that I would like to see but her c*** was taking up so much room. We had a lady talking about the Shingrix vaccine to the Newcomers. The vaccine you got as a kid becomes more and more ineffective the older you get. We got the Shingrix. It comes in two shots and you have to get them something like a minimum of 3 months apart (I forget the exact number, I could be wrong about the “3” part). Now it is in high demand, we were on multiple waiting lists. Neither Vince nor I had any after effects

    I have very few “friends” on Facebook. I very seldom post anything. I just like to try to keep abreast of the kids and a few other people. Actually, Facebook was how Eileen, Rita and I reconnected. That’s probably one of the few good things about that

    As I was leaving the gym today, this one gal had a birthday cake. Oh..why didn’t I just “walk on by”. She’s 65. Boy, I would never say it to her, but she looks more like 70+. All wrinkly. I’m about to turn 65. I don’t look like that. But on the bright side…I had a VERY small piece, like 4 bites and threw the rest away

    Vicki – (((HUGS))))

    Put Grumpy in to be fired at ceramics tonight and worked on Sneezy. I really need to get started on the turtle Pete asked me to make him. I say he wants a turtle, Vince said he wants a tortoise. I need to confirm what exactly it is that he wants. He said he wanted it painted like a real turtle. Personally, I think that's boring. His shell will be green, his body green. Well, I'll make the shell using two different shades of green. How boring to have everything green. But that's what he wants

    Good question!!

    I have 5 more courses to go.

    I'm taking one this semester (Semester 2) which starts next week.

    I would like to take one in the spring/summer session but I'm having trouble finding a suitable course. I need to check it again to see if they've added any. I keep pestering them ... they're probably tired of hearing from me begging for a decent course to be run then.

    Then I've got two courses which I have to take which involve creating a project, I think. They'll be in Semester 1 and 2 next year. They're supposed to be taken right near the end. I could have gone two ways with this Masters: Research or Coursework. I opted for Coursework, but I think these two courses are a way of getting the Coursework people to dabble in Research.

    And then I hope to be able to find a suitable course in the next spring/summer session.

    So ideally, I'd like to be done by Christmas 2020 ... but we'll see. It will depend on those spring/summer sessions and will depend on how heavy those two research/project courses are.

    In many ways I wish I could take a spring course and a summer course right away and be done October 2020, but so far, there isn't much potential for that unless they decide to offer something intriguing in Business or Health or similar in the summer.

    I'm excited tonight, my oldest daughter (the CPA, yes I'm still saying it, sorry lol) is flying in tomorrow evening and will spend the weekend. We'll get in shopping, eating out and lots of visiting. Trying not to start dreading how quickly the time will fly by.

    Love you my dear friends,

    shingles @KJLaMore I had never heard of shingles vaccine so just googled it here (in France) it says "recommended in France since 2014 for people ages 65-74 to reduce occurrence of shingles but also to reduce the severity and amount of pain if one does get shingles." I have two acquaintances who got shingles, one just over 50 and the other quite young- in her 30s. About 2 years ago, upon coming back from 2 weeks of hiking and during a stressful professional period, my doctor sais she was certain that the bumps on my back were shingles. I never had pain, just itching and great fatigue. I would have wondered if the doctor was wrong but she has a good reputation and doesn't tend to say she's certain when she is not.
