    Not walking to my uni lecture today! Fortunately the instructor records the lectures.

    The wind is already 60 km/h gusting 90 km/h and heavy rain is quickly approaching ... I have no desire to battle all that for 3 km to the university and then 1.5 km up to catch the bus after the lecture.

    Bit of a gust just as I caught my bus to go home!

    Machka: Stay safe!

    Heather: Looks like you had a lot of fun, but I agree that such visits can be exhausting. Have a great meeting with your other friend in Brighton.

    Rori: Lovely reno. An upgrade makes a huge difference.

    Debbie in VA: re daughter/gs. As others have said, abusers don't often change. It's a difficult situation for all of you, but you'll work it out, I'm sure. Although, I can understand her wanting to try to maintain her independence, even if it's only in your garage.

    Miele Failte to our newbies. We're an eclectic group, but very open to new people. Drop by, jump in when the spirit move you.

    Hugs to those who need them, congrats to those celebrating.

    It's a reasonable good day weather wise. I've no definite plans except to go with the general flow. DH is out for the morning, so I can please myself.

    Machka - looks like winter is going to hit your area hard. Thanks for posting - all of us undergoing hot weather here in the US got a few minutes of relief reading about your wind and possible snow. Give us a few months and we'll be there too. :o

    Rori - many thanks for those shower renovation photos. It's fabulous!! Lots of room for a shower chair if needed. The shower in our master bath needs replacing - your photos give a glimpse of what it's all about - I really appreciate it. Glad Mars was there to supervise! B)

    Debby in VA - my heart goes out to your daughter. So glad she is safe at your home. Lots to be concerned about, your support really helps I'm sure. ((HUGS))) Keep cool - see Matchka's situation above. B)

    Make it a fabulous day! <3

    Debby in VA Makes no sense...grandson can be registered in your school district easily enough.

    Debby VA - Registry can be changed due to violence! She can move him regardless tell them it’s life or death! Or drive him to school hours away until they let you change schools.Call the district! Took me 2weeks but got my Daughter transferred! Custody or not schools hand them over but I taught Daughter hide! My coworker y bosses called 911,bosses can file restraining orders the minute they walk on the property,y I had coworkers who brought guns to left a room open to lock myself in,boss gave me keys to get into safe areas! If he misses school today won’t hurt call as Grandma tell them it’s an abuse situation she’s trying to escape they’ll jump into action! Call her say turn around now! He will hurt her for trying to escape! Use your address it’s hers now! The rule your talking about is to stop parents from moving mid school year out of district for no reason...This is a valid reason use words like abuse,abuser,fear for life.Don't sugar coat or be embarrassed ...abusers only should be embarrassed! They’ll flag the folder helps too!
    Yes attorney can put protective orders in place for the divorce y custody judge if need be can force the school to move the kid. Can homeschool or private school theirs cheaper Christian ones out there in a church who wouldn’t hand him over!

    Lisa: Yoga is not going to happen for me this morning. DH is too anxious about finding the doctor’s office. We’ll undoubtedly be leaving home early and sitting around waiting. That is better than stressing out and anxiety. :ohwell:

    Pip: I keep hoping that we’ll be able to come up and watch the MS Ride so we can cheer for you and Kirby and all the other generous riders. Unfortunately, this won’t be the year. :heart:

    Margaret: I’d go for the mint plants, but I couldn’t find any at any of the local plant nurseries. Evidently, they are stocked seasonally in the spring and not available now. :grumble: I’ll look for them next spring. Meanwhile I’ll see whether I can find mint oil. :star:

    Rori: Thanks for your good thoughts on the medical consult. DH is pretty wound up about it this morning. The appointment is at 10:30. I hope we’re able to make reasonable plans that relieve DH’s pain ASAP. :heart: Congrats on your beautiful new bathroom. What an amazing difference! Thanks for sharing the before and after photos. :star:

    Yvonne in TX: I think that dogs with ears that fold down or droop have more chances for ear infections and stinky smells. Most hunting dogs fall in this category. Our guy has standup ears. The upside is that his ears are healthy, and the down side is that he can’t stand loud banging noises during the 4th of July celebrations. :ohwell:

    Sue in TX: Thanks for your good wishes for DH. :flowerforyou:

    Machka: Stay safe at home during the severe weather. :heart:



    We’re working on wills, too. With a likely upcoming surgery for DH, we want to get things in order. We have plans to visit our attorney before the surgery happens.

    Well, my calls paid off. Hospital found issue on their side in computer settings for faxes. Director of imaging called me to apologize and confirmed the fix. We had a nice conversation. I got his number too if anyoelse happens!

    As my DH says, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

    On that note. Gotta go to doc for results now.

    <3Katla, I have spent hours in waiting rooms at doctors' offices because we left home early to make sure we got there on time. I have a Kindle app on my phone so I always have a book to read while we wait. There are so many things that can go wrong if you're driving a distance to the doctor in an urban area. Going early is so smart.

    Debby Daughter not FaceTime indulging him does show she sees that Moms there maybe some stuffs flooding in. If she can’t escape this time she’ll try harder each time it starts an awakening. If school still an issue every semester you can ahead of time put in a transfer for the 2nd semester hop to the new school. Research get lawyers numbers to call CPS/APS anonymously to ask questions on how do I get my Daughter out they will gladly answer they are happy to see a Woman with help available! Many of their workers escaped too before (a lot become CPS workers to save others sooner than they saved themselves). Plus he hits her treats her like a monster for trying to go after she heard your concerns after you try your hardest to fight with her! Her next try if not now will be bigger y better fights .You being willing to fight with her each time is shining a light on the exit! Using the truthful words abuser to hit you instead of sugar coating reprogram the brain! The abuser molds you to what he wants to think like them feel at fault or ashamed well hearing words from family like abuser to freedom y better life for your son re programs it back!

    Sometimes folks blow a persons chance to escape without realizing it or being able to go back.A Cop 👮 blew mine! So had to stay...he regretted it when I presented evidence at trial he was questioned said yes yes she didn’t check the abused box only because she thought it would get them killed I should have done more! He cried.
    Scenario I called 911 abuser hung up on the operator screaming.Then ran before they got there. They drove right past him. They gave me the paperwork a pen 🖊 said are you being abused? I asked if I check yes will you take my daughter to safety? No he said he would have to call ahead for a bed wait a few days or more for a bed to open up at an abuse shelter.Then he said what hopefully they’ve changed by now! That the abuser gets a copy of the yes checked box! Anything you write down! 😬 So I told him I check Yes you leave tell him shut the door lock it walk away pick up the baby y my body in the morning? Cop looked stunned 😧 I checked No handed it to him I hid the copy in my things used it at trial later. He almost got us killed because the department had a poorly executed abuse/abuser paperwork to tell a cop you need help. I cried Abuser said I was a good girl later.I died inside. That’s when My Daughter picked up the fight!

    Did an extreme cardio DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do an Urban Rebounder Cardio DVD

    Green Room this morning and then Rummikub at night.

    Went to ceramics last night. Sleepy was fired, but I was so disappointed. The paint on his face cracked off so I need to repaint that part. Also, the purple on his coat and hat came out real streaky (the sample isn’t streaky at all and this is a darker color so it probably shouldn’t have streaked. I’ve used it before and it hasn’t streaked). So that means that I need to put more paint over what has already been fired, and that’s a real PITA since it’s such a smooth surface

    Then played mahjongg, maj’d once. Then picked Vince up at the airport so didn’t get home until after 2

    I know when I first moved to NC I felt like a fish out of water but I found the Newcomer group and that helped a lot with the transition. Now I’m involved in other things not Newcomer, but this was a great start. I’m going to try to get my friend (who lives about an hour away from me) to go to a meeting in her town. I do need to bring it up to her first….lol Update: we're going to a Mix and Mingle on Sept. 11. She agreed that she'd feel uncomfortable going alone

    Amber _ many years ago I knew something was wrong. I didn’t know what, but I knew. I kept insisting on getting a BDT. The doc kept saying “we don’t recommend them for women who haven’t gone thru menopause”. Well, I think she finally ordered it to shut me up. Was she ever shocked when the test came back that I had osteoporosis! Congrats on those numbers going down!

    Lisa – sounds like the police dept is on the ball. I’m so happy for you. Congrats on that gym streak. Oh, when I don’t exercise, I can definitely feel a difference in how I feel

    Debbie in VA – oh no!!! Can’t your gs be registered in your district since they’re living with you?

    Katla – if there is any chance of waiting, I almost always bring my tablet and read a book. Unfortunately, I forgot it last night but I played this mahjongg game on my phone. I sincerely hope everything goes well for dh.

    Well, gotta run. Rummikub tonight. I’m bringing a dessert since it’ll be this woman’s last time for now.

    Michele NC- They kept testing my thyroid after my hair fell out in clumps lol but still wouldn’t get me a test! So bought one online did the test myself off think Amazon had it showed yup I am. Lol 😂 Doctor tested me for cancer but still wouldn’t for menopause! Sometimes we got to go over their heads. Funny part is had JR Doctor thought I was wrong about being post menopause until all the tests y Csection that looks like autopsy scars instead because same cut ...he said you were Post menopause I just don’t see how you get pregnant! Uterus inside out,placentas are deformed do not deliver nutrients to the baby,etc etc yet you do it! Lol I told him stop questioning Women y God lol 😆.

    :# We are updating our will and the beneficiaries on my IRA. It seemed like it would be a simple process--change/add/subtract a few names and write a check to the attorney. No such luck. Even this simple thing has taken a lot of paperwork and phone calls and we haven't even had our appointment with the attorney to go over the changes. I have such admiration for all of you who handle complex transactions like this and work full time and care for a family. I guess I've gotten too relaxed and laid back.

    <3Debbie, Can't your daughter register her son for school using your address since she is living with you right now?

    :) We just got an email telling us that one of our orders for tulip bulbs is on the way so it looks like we'll be back doing garden work soon.
