    By the way, have you heard from Cheri lately? I think about her sometimes with her new house and son in Chicago and DD living out by you. B)

    Lanette

    Hi! I'm here! Don't check in as frequently as I should but try and read most days.

    Some recent changes in our lives... I spent from March till June in VA with our daughter helping her after ankle surgery. While there she decided to sell her home and move down to TX. She is living with us for the time being. Looking for a new job and then a home.

    Our son left Chicago and is living in Indianapolis. He has reconnected with friends from high school there and is near my parents and my sister and brother. He is really happy.

    I've been battling my old friend depression and trying to make sure everyone else is "happy". I guess it's time to focus back on myself. Went back to the gym today. Started recording my food. I know what to do!

    Keeping you all in my pocket. I'll try and check in more often! Hugs!!

    I’m lucky my favorite thrift shop has a app! So I use it for points even! TC Rewards (Thrift City) they’re in different states not many of them like 1 here 1 there. Funny thing is a few of you said where you live they got one there but is it close to you or too far off to travel don’t know.It’s my go to especially for myself got my maternity clothes there even! I got $4.50 (2500) worth of loyalty points built up because they forgot to log me out after I bought my coats! Lol not going to say a word think the Manager was being nice she bows I love them to death! So I payed $30-$40 for bags of coats to kids hoodies bam guy behind me to the next person with loyalty card is on my account lol 😆. That makes up for not knowing about the app even tho I went for decades!

    Everyone who uses CBD oil (for humans), what do you use it for?

    I use it for pain. But I used a balanced 1:1 THC:CBD oil. The CBD oil on its own does nothing for me. I wish it did, because when I use the balanced oil that means I can't drive.

    Busy day today, hairdressing appointment then youngest brother and his wife are coming this afternoon. This evening we are eating out with DH family as his youngest brother is 70. That's the way it is a famine or a feast as they say. DH and I like to go out and socialise but prefer just the 2 of us when at home.

    Get well everyone with health problems and congrats to all losing weight. I'm still gaining and losing the same couple of pounds, got be consistent (repeat) LOL

    Just opened (with fear and trembling) a letter from the IRS. Some may remember that last May the IRS sent a letter saying we owed $7000+ in back taxes, interest and penalties. I was paralyzed with panic. Lanette shared a similar experience which inspired me to research and find where my financial institution made a mistake on the 1099 form. Today's letter said "We are pleased to tell you that the information you provided resolved the tax issue in question and that our inquiry is now closed. Amount due: $0.00
    Thank goodness and thank you Lanette!

    Very glad to hear it!!

    For everyone who's new - Don't feel you must answer everyone on this thread. In July, we averaged more than 60 posts per day, because we're active, wonderful human beings who drop in, answer a question, make a comment, or share an image, and then go back on with our busy lives. Please don't let this thread add to your stress - read when you can, answer or comment when you feel moved to do so, tell us of your victories in the fight to get healthy, or your struggles, and just keep coming back. I think of it as a noisy, large gathering, where I can talk to those who are within earshot, and no one on the other side of the room is going to be upset because I'm speaking to those who are nearest me. Luckily, because it's recorded on this thread, I can also "hear" all the other conversations and comments, and respond to those when I choose, as well. No stress; no pressure, just a community of like-minded women.

    Much love to all...

    Well said!!


    And welcome to all the new participants!

    Morning, afternoon and evening, all,

    Up once more at 3:15, hopefully I'll be able to start going back to sleep once I wake in the early mornings soon.

    Barbara AHMOD - So pleased the IRS is sorted! That's worth a celebration all on its own!

    Under the small-world theory: For those who have been here a while, I was just paging through the forum on my monster grant application after I went in to triple-check and make sure my application went through... and there was a note from someone in Svalbard, Longyearbyen, to be exact... you have to pinpoint the geographic area where your grant application will benefit a specific population, and this guy was a little bent out of shape that the closest he could get to Longyearbyen in the application was Tromso, which is close, but not close enough. Considering this is a grant where the entire world is eligible, I found it funny that our Penny's home base was mentioned, quite specifically. Random coincidence? Made me long for some of Penny's amazing photographs... you're missed, woman!

    And speaking of old friends, Cheri! - glad you stopped in. Thinking of you, my dear. Glad you're staying with us, and hope the exercise and re-orienting on your own health is helpful.

    Husband has to go into work this morning, which he was not terribly happy about, but resigned to, so he will be up soon. I was going to do the mowing this morning, but it's been raining, so that's not going to happen. Will get some housecleaning done, and read, I think. Quiet morning ahead. :)

    Love y'all,

    Saturday
    Wordpress Meeting
    Model Train Show
    Long Nap

    Wordpress Meeting
    I'm trying to set up my website in Wordpress and today I had the opportunity to learn more about Elementor a page builder.
    I'm excited to get working on it!

    Model Train Show
    After Wordpress, my husband and I went to the local annual model train show. I really enjoy looking at all the displays and watching the trains. If he and I built one, I think I'd do the display ... the building and scenery, and he'd tinker with the trains. :)

    We were going to go shopping and then exercise, but on the way home, I felt really, really tired. I hadn't been feeling particularly well since I got up this morning. So we headed straight home and both slept for a couple hours!

    I'm still not feeling brilliant, but I hope I have enough energy to make some progress on my first assignment for my current uni course.
