    The try may not even be a choice since too much other stuff is piling up. So it's either try or walk into a dealership and leave with something semi random. Which just isn't me! I also should deal with the insurance payout

    Yes the limping to the car and having to deal with it before getting started I can easily see getting pale very quickly.

    Insightful as to the condition of the cars. At least the one service, Evo, the cars are definitely hard used when it comes to the body!

    I’ve learned over time that sometimes it’s better to cut your losses and move on. Might cost some painful cash but the reward is peace of mind and getting THAT problem solved. Especially when you’ve got other crises to deal with at the same time. At worst you get the random car and upgrade later?
    Maybe if you’re lucky you get a good car and keep it for a long time.

    oh Mr. PAV - so like my hubby! “Let’s think about IT!” Putting off things today for some magical excellent tomorrow. Except our supply of tomorrows is dwindling….. and we could be enjoying IT (whatever it is) right now.

    Have been browsing for a comparable web based, free food tracker.

    Not seeing anything... the one here seems to have broken and site seems determined to replace it entirely with something quite different/less visibility. :( dang.

    Yeah, I'm pretty peeved with the mfp app. It basically forgot 10 years of my carefully vetted foods and doesn't remember *kitten* form day to day even

    It's just the yearly bug fest to prepare for January intake 😡

    The nicest part being the forums and interactions and that's the one they're targeting because of course it doesn't necessarily make money :(

    As mentioned and of course I have to promote Canadian content from Revelstoke BC :) cronometer is adequate.

    And you can manually select the favorites you want to first search through and have offered to yourself (without limits on how many) by clicking on the little heart of whatever item you select to keep using.

    You can switch you can switch between searching for everything or searching only in your favorites by clicking on the tab

    The only problem being the ads on the mobile version. Normal web precautions were sufficient to control ads on the web version.

    Unfortunately My experience may be diverging over time because I've decided to pay them their yearly fees as a gesture of support if nothing else

    PS I do have myself trained to ignore whatever it is I do not want to be bothered to look at :)

    At least a very good percentage of information is too much information of little value because it cannot be complete if you're not exclusively using "USDA" and "university of Minnesota" provided values.

    Since I am fortunately including package barcodes with less overwhelming amounts of information, I can then in clear conscience ignore the overabundance of other information since I know that it's not fully and correctly represented 😜

    Ugh, stepped on the scale this morning, 214 - up 2 pounds. I've hovered between 212 and 215 for the last 2 weeks. My brain knows it's just a stall, likely because I had two large weight loss months (7 lbs both in July and August) but it still frustrates me.

    I'm trying to stay positive and keep the track. In the past, when I've seen this, I've drastically cut calories. But, I've noticed my exercise and strength training suffers when I do this. Trying to stay with my current calorie goal for a couple of more weeks to see what happens before I decide if I need to cut.

    Going back out of town next Tuesday and don't plan to over think what I eat. Especially since I will be in theme parks. Including at a Food and Wine festival for one day. But I will be walking a LOT so not that concerned.

    Went to the blink-182 concert yesterday. Had an absolute blast. Devoured a bag of movie theater butter microwave popcorn after. Down to 151 this morning, whoo.

    It's my last night shift, running off 5 hours sleep because I had an eye doctor appointment this morning, and caffeine.

    Sound like a set up for some mighty strong glasses! I’d be totally bleary eyed.

    OUCH! Hope your eyes did OK at the optometrist, they can sometimes act a little different when tired.

    I need to go - didn't quite make the 2 yrs I was hoping with my current pair of progressives. Gotta love being >50!

  • nicsflyingcircus
    nicsflyingcircus Posts: 3,187 Member

    My eyes did great. Ever so minor prescription, mostly for my right eye. Not even bad enough to require I wear glasses, though I am going to pick up a pair, mostly for night driving because my astigmatism, which doesn't affect how well I see, causes me to see starbursts around lights at night. I get a pair every 5 years or so, just for that specifically. My vision doesn't require very much correction at all. Like a -0.5 in the left eye and - 1.0 in the right. Almost nothing, lol.

    Glasses can be fun.... expensive possibly in some cases... but fun!!!

  • yakkystuff
    yakkystuff Posts: 2,216 Member

    If they were inexpensive, I would have many pair - for accessorizing. Many colorific & zany. Elton John got his so right!

    My first day in the 7:00-3:30 grind. Jaw cracking yawns for the first couple hours, then I was fine. Got up at 5:45 out of an abundance of caution, left my house at 6:17, only took me 21 minutes to get to work. I plan to get up at 5:50 and leave the house at 6:20 tomorrow, if that goes smooth, then 5:56 and 6:25 Wednesday.

    Sounds like your commute is during prime school traffic hours. Bet you notice a big difference on school holidays and vacations.

    Yup that’s Texas- like especially near the Gulf of Mexico? Trees are oaks(?) that retain their small leaves all winter. No fall color. And note the height of the trees. Relatively short. No big tall giant leafy trees.
    I’m always reminded when I travel north of the grandeur of trees. Miss them….

    Helloooo :)

    That looks like a wonderful place to kayak.

    As I look outside, the top areas of maple trees are starting to turn. The rest, not yet. Similar blue skies, about 70s today.

    Wicked looking storms off East Coast... hope they keep turning away.

    I live just outside of the Houston area (NOT in Houston.) I was standing on a prarie overlooking the lake. We do get very tall trees, over 100 ft - just don't look that way from where I was standing. Oaks, maples, lots of pine in my area (still have 2 dead pines on my property I'm waiting to see if they fall.)

    When I moved down to Texas I was surprised to find such a wooded area. I thought it was all tumbleweeds and desert.

    Alas, no fall color yet. We are still hitting 90's. I don't expect to see fall colors until mid to late November. Here, we stop doing outside activities during the summer, but go all winter 🤗 (except for the 1-7 days of snow we tend to get in January.)
