Rita: I hope you are feeling better soon. Your time at the laundromat reminded me of years past when we took our boat to Canada for several weeks at a time. My favorite laundromat there was in Friday Harbor, WA. Your doctor visit sounds positive although it is frustrating that your DH’s test results were not sent to him. :grumble:
Meg: Meetings were a staple in my life during my teaching years. Now I belong to two organizations that each have an evening meeting monthly, Tuesday & Wednesday of the same week. Sometimes the Tuesday meeting goes late into the night. Luckily this month it was a short meeting and I wasn’t too tired for the Wednesday meeting. :bigsmile:
Sue in TX: I’m sorry for your bad night. I hope you’re feeling better today. :flowerforyou:
Michelle: I am happy that you’re feeling better.

Kim: Enjoy your family tree project. :flowerforyou:
Kate UK: Glad you enjoyed Blinded by the Light. I know what a cuppa is, but what is a biccie? :jhuh:
Lisa: Caffeine has a big impact on many people. It is found in both coffee and black tea. I drink coffee in the morning & like sparkling water or herbal tea after about 11 am. Peppermint is my favorite tea.
Lanette: Thanks for your good wishes for DH.
The music at the park last night was not the best act we’ve seen there. We walked through the festivities, sat and listened to the music a little while and then went home. It was a huge accomplishment for DH to get out of the house for a bit. His appointment with the surgeon can’t come too fast and we hope to have a date for surgery in the reasonably near future.
Yoga today. YAY!!!

HEAT I am so done with the 100’s and up! 90’s I can deal with here due to low humidity. Humidity does make a huge difference in how you feel in the heat. Never believed it until I experienced it! Lol
Telephones haven’t had a land line since 2008! Cell phones only. Changed carriers a lot to find the one that works best in my travels. Had to settle on the expensive Verizon, but works wherever I go. I would go to a cheaper provider if I wasn’t traveling any more.
Coffee I never drank coffee until I had my middle daughter at 26 years old. Back in my childbearing ages I drank coffee all day and could sleep anywhere anytime. Now, 1 big mug in morning is all I do.
Aspergersi really think both my DH and I have this at different levels. To old to bother investigating any further. Lol

Janetr - So sorry to hear about your knee. Needs must, I'm afraid.
I drink only one mug of strong coffee a day, around 10 am. However, I have between 5 and 6 mugs of black tea with milk a day. A Brit can't get through the day without large doses of tea.
I am completely addicted. The first one in the morning really hits the spot 
.It doesn't seem to make any difference to my sleeping. I have the last one around 7 pm. I go to sleep around 11.30.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

Machka: That’s a great list of stress relievers. I would add doing craft work and creating art. I do watercolour painting, and often get totally engrossed.KetoneKaren wrote: »

Katla- bicci just a term for biscuits.
Landline 📞- Got rid of mine 3 1/2yrs who I’m always terrified that a long cell call or baby playing on it or even too long if Youtube video or pictures will drain the battery we won’t have a way to call out. Daughter reminds me log into your iPad or computer use it! They have apps quick app load y dial out! She gave me a speed charger so one for hubby y one for me in baby room. Chargers all over the house! She also reminds me neighbors have phones! Still watching it worst fear is not being able to get help. She says can post on a forum folks can call for you even from an iPad even JRs baby one. High tech geniuses yet I fear I’ll forget to do it if I’m panicked so charging away!!! Take a charger can plug into an outside outlet even quick dial y run

Debby VA I understand why you are worried about your daughter. I so hope she can get herself & the children out of the situation safely. It feels terribly inadequate saying that. If I feel this helpless, I can only imagine how you must feel. So so sorry. (((Hugs)))

My DDIL has arranged a pre birthday lunch for me the weekend before the cruise. My son will be cooking. My elder son has said he will be coming down, so that's a rare treat. I'm going to take it easy on the catering as I will be stressed about getting ready for the cruise. I can see an Indian takeaway in my future.
Will be strange to have a celebratory lunch with no alcohol! Don't give me birthday wishes yet anyone as it's the end of September. :bigsmile:
It's the same weekend as Edie's 6th birthday. She is having a party for her class in a hall.

Debby Va- if he hasn’t hurt the kids yet he will eventually. Goes only 4 ways
1. Son/Daughter become like Daddy hitting mommy y siblings to get his approval
2. A punching bag like mommy for Daddy’s anger
3. They get hurt age 6+ when they get in between Daddy yell don’t hit my mommy even possibly punch daddy back (My Daughter did this one) (My child rapist became #1 who was her Bio Dad) (My Mom was #2 for her step dad y dad)
4.Kills or permanently injuries the child to punish mommy (My Ex coworkers son still can barely walk to this day she’s so scared of men she’s a Lesbian her wife same story for her but her baby didn’t survive so she clings to my ex coworkers kids as her own).
As a parent you think keeping the peace will save them ,but eventually you realize since you can’t save yourself you can’t save your kids. My Daughter called APS number she saw on the school bathroom door (adult protection services) they came looking for me but Daughter then 7yrs old convinced me to go in. They were combing the country side for me while I sat in their office. I kept repeating want my Daughter to be safe forget about me.Daughter kept repeating I’m tough forget about me save my Mom. Then she escaped from them came y found me started protecting me cause I was shaking. They realized she was the strong one I was broken. They came to every hearing for over 3years for me to get freedom. They counseled me helped me prepare my new home for court inspections. They put plans in order to taught me how to conseal my identity in public.Hair cut y temporary color that I changed a lot. Clothing changes to even how to go about things like downloading the online parenting programs for court. They did a lot.They had us go to the doctor to document more.

We got rid of our landline about two years ago primarily because of all the telemarketing calls. Our current cell phones hold a charge for a long time and we both have created the habit of plugging them in for awhile once or twice a day, I keep the ringer off almost all the time and check from time to time to see if I've gotten a call. The only time it's not on silent is if I'm expecting a call and want to be able to answer when it comes. I carry my phone in my pocket so it's available when I need it. It has a step counter so I have the added advantage of seeing how active I've been.janetr, sorry to hear that all is not well with your knee replacement. Best wishes for a satisfactory outcome.Lanette, best wishes on your upcoming surgery and recovery. Yesterday I ate bok choy and spinach grown in Jake's new raised garden bed. There is also a cucumber that will be ready to eat soon.
A few weeks ago a very disruptive issue erupted in my town. Someone wanted to make an announcement in my line dance class about it and answer questions and circulate a petition for her point of view. I told her that the class was a safe place for fun and she couldn't do that. However she convinced the teacher in the other class to allow it and it seriously upset one woman enough that she refused to come back to the class. The repeated appearance of the petition and fliers have made the class feel very hostile and unsafe and I've not known who was safe to talk to. In contrast, my class continues to be a place with hugs, laughter, and applause for the dances. It is like the difference between our thread and many of the others on MFP, I love all of you and am so grateful that you leave your partisan issues elsewhere. Barbie in NW WA 12 -

I keep mine plugged in most of the time, and when I'm out and about, I have a backup battery pack.
I also have a quick security code so that I don't accidentally open something, and I don't use my phone for videos etc.
So it's rare my battery drops below 50%.

Went to the water class. Vince and Jess left a little after 7 so I had time to make it. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Firm Max Cardio Burn DVD.
Volunteered at the soup kitchen. They had a sausage on a roll with onions and macaroni salad on the side. Cake (again) for dessert. There is this one lady that another volunteer said of her “oh, she’s the mean one”. She asked me to get plates. I had no idea where I was to get them. She said to me “don’t you know what a plate is?” Then she showed me where they were. Some people!
Janetr – congrats! Matthew must be getting so big by now. Sheesh! I remember when he was born! I’m so sorry about your knee So glad to hear about granddaughter’s bf
Kim from North Cal – better get out your long johns!
Debbie in VA – I can understand how you’re feeling towards that SFB (*** for brains)
M – that’s the way I feel about so many calls “if it’s important, they’ll leave a message. And if they don’t want to…oh well, their loss, not mine”
Not a coffee drinker. Had a cup maybe about 4 years ago, it was at a Marriott Hotel so you know it wasn’t an off brand. But to me it was very bitter. That’s probably because I hadn’t had a cup in maybe 4 years before that. Now I don’t even bother with it. But give me my tea…..
