Yeah Penny! :drinker:
DH has been getting anxious about a birthday present for my 70th, so I decided to get serious about what I want. It was either a new phone, or a new tablet. I know it's a strange present for a technophobe and I'm already getting collywobbles, but I've decided the tablet is the more urgent as I'm almost out of memory despite daily cleaning cache and having nearly all my photos on a card. The new one will have twice the memory and a lovely deep pink case. My current tablet is rarely out of my hands. I use it for everything, except the dratted Word.
I've sent him the link, but it might be better if I get it as I've got Prime. He can transfer me the money.

Hi y'all!
I used Map My Walk app yesterday for the first time. That is cool! I didn't walk far but I actually walked further than I expected. I walked .63 miles in 18 min, and burned 103 calories. My DH, our dog Dolly and I walk every evening around the neighborhood and I'm so glad the weather is a bit cooler after the last storm that blew thru!
Carol My daughter Jessica who was in Hurricane Michael in Panama City is renting a house in Panama City Beach right now. Her house is still sitting there and the re-contsruction process is going very slow. The mold abatement was done and now nothing. On top of that her divorce is being held up again by her soon to be ex. He wanted to agree and just sign, now he wants to go to court. This has been going on for almost 2 years! He is something else! Praying that this is over soon.
Lanette Glad to hear you are recovering nicely!
Have a good day, off to the Y for the Silver Sneaker class.

decolander Welcome!
Heather I played violin in various symphony orchestras, played back up at many concerts in Michigan and Florida, and for plays and opera. I was hired in Detroit for Motown Records studio music. My favorite of all the famous people I performed with was Tony Bennett. Such a nice man!
Thank you to all who are thinking of me with today's surgery. I am excited and hoping to see so much better very soon! Today will be the right eye, and next week they do the other!
bananas Glad no surgery for the knee! Hope improvement comes soon!
Mallie Hope your stress goes down soon so you don't have that added burden while trying to lose weight.
Teri Beautiful quilt! and I love the Pitt flag story! We are a house divided with my husband having gone to Kansas State. We played against each other one time for the Dorito Bowl! We were in Kansas and I wore a tournament shirt with both schools on it. I cheered for both teams for that one.
Penny Your raspberries look delicious! Sorry your Mom got the flu...so hard on a person in their 90s! Congrats on the 1000 miles!
Looking forward to the IV for my eyes...send me to my happy place...lol!

Heather, my phone has a 16 gig memory card so I have tons of memory for all the things I need. When I bought my laptop, I had lots of memory put in it so I don't have to worry. There is an office supply store in my town that has technology support and I've brought my laptop, phone, and Jake's tablet there when we needed help.

Michele: When I was in high school our coach would have an all school assembly at the beginning of football season and another at the beginning of basketball season. He’d teach us the rules and have some of the team members demonstrate what he was talking about. We were very well informed and enjoyed the games more because of him. :bigsmile: I enjoyed HS and college sports but don’t care a bit for pro ball. :noway:
Pip: Quite a party!
Yvonne: Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is a great idea. I’ve had some wonderful dogs and one very special cat who was killed by a neighborhood cat poisoner. He put poisoned bait in his carport & killed many cats. I hope the Good Lord embraced his poor feline victims and was able to teach the cat killer a lesson.
Rebecca: That is quite a nasty bruise. I hope it heals quickly. :flowerforyou:
Karen in VA: I’m happy to know your son made it home safely. I’m thinking about your grandson. My yoga teacher also tutors a grandson and takes him to art classes because he loves them so much. I admire both of you. You’re making important differences in their lives. :bigsmile:
M in OZ: I am more than a bit surprised at the restrictions that have been placed on your DH, preventing him from travel and the seemingly impossible requirement that he goes back to work. Disabilities are all different. His are more challenging than someone with a strait forward physical disability. :grumble:
Lanette: I’m sorry about your skin irritation from the adhesive bandages. I hope it clears up quickly. :flowerforyou:
Carol in GA: My view is that woo-hoo is a positive comment and woo is a sad or negative comment. :ohwell:
AZTeri: The quilt is a work of art.
Penny at the Pole: WAHOO!!! It so great to see you post again. I have missed you. Welcome back! :bigsmile:
Dana in AR: Good luck to your daughter in the divorce proceedings.
Dcolander: Welcome! You look amazingly young and beautiful to be 50+. My niece is 50 and also a runner. You are both beautiful. I hope you will post often.
We had a noisy and lengthy thunderstorm in the night. Our dog was terrified. I gave him tranquilizers and put him in his Thundercoat. They didn’t help enough. The storm has passed and he’s resting now. So are we.

Rita - hope that thermometer drops and stays down. And hope your fridge and A/C are still chugging along!
Will your DH be a good patient after his surgery or will you have to resort to extreme measures, lol. Fill in the blank _________.
Keep cool everyone who is cooking today!!

Thaks Lanette! DH is usually a good patient. I’m lucky there. I have to force him to rest!
Heat has let up, thank goodness! Fridge and air surviving so far.

My grandson Grason 9 years old first day of Fourth Grade in Chicopee MA. He wants to be an actor and is already taking acting classes and been in a couple of plays! Ambition!!

Rita: Your grandson is a cutie. I wouldn't be surprised if he reaches his acting goal long before he is a grown up. :bigsmile:

Rita ~ What a cutie Grason is! My grandchildren started school 3 weeks ago.

Teri AZ- I write down the foods we like that meet a food nutrition goal on paper then create a few y modify internet recipes to us. Now I got a clue so can just cook but if course there will always be a fav that we eat that doesn’t have anything to it! I try to make up for that somewhere else or vitamins that day.
Welcome newcomers- we just jump in y talk not always rhyme or reason but we get each other through stresses to how to maneuver the app ,recipes,health info ,lots more.
Still anyone sees products for larger kids (My 2yr 4months old wears size 6 tall high weight limit y were on the hunt again for stuff he can use!) On the phone with manufacturers to see if they can help too. Takes 2-4hours per manufacturer call so sigh* my week long why do they all play the same darn song? Was there only one made for companies? Someone quick corner that market! We need new music while someone goes ummmm I gotta ask my manager... do do do do do do do....he’ll be a minute .....do do do do do do do... Hello 👋 ummmmm I’m going to patch you to someone else..... do do do do do do do...Hello engineering department why did they give you to us?
Lol 😂 oh here’s the scamatics numbers. Have a nice day. Looks at clock darn 2hours gone only got info on 1 product!

I've ordered my tablet and a raspberry cover/stand.
DH is very annoyed that he can't download photos off his emails onto his Samsung phone. I Googled it for him,but he is not any wiser. I'm sure there must be a way! On my Sony phone it is super easy and on my Samsung tablet also. It looks as if a lot of people have the same problem with their Samsung phones. Do any of you have a Samsung phone and can help?
Tomorrow I have to go for my BP test at 4 pm. I hate it as my BP is always higher than normal. I am on light medication.
Lately I have often been feeling a bit faint, both when I haven't eaten (hypo) and just after a meal. Apparently that is a thing with older people. Something to do with the blood going to the digestive tract.
The other thing it could be (unlikely) is a problem with the pancreas, or pituitary (Tumour?) Of course I hope I am just being a hypochondriac.
Much love Heather UK xxxxxxx, who is going to watch a Wallander DVD tonight.
PS - Carol - he looks like a great actor in the making.5 -
Heather ~ He is Rita's grandson...not mine. But I agree he looks like a great actor in the making.2

Carol - OOOOPS! Yes, Rita!

Heather, WOOHOO! Congrats on getting your laptop going and downloading Word! Also happy to hear that lunch with your friend was good.
Penny, so wonderful to hear from you! I am suffering extreme raspberry envy.....
Katla, happy that you are going to see the grands, unfortunate that hubby doesn't wish to go, but also happy to hear that he seems to be doing better and you are more comfortable leaving him for a week.
Tracey, so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new job so much! Clearly it was a case of the universe waiting until just the right fit came along for you!
Rita, Grason is a cutie! Glad to hear that hubby is a good patient, also happy to hear that the temp is dropping a bit for you, pretty sure I couldn't deal with 100+ for any length of time!
That's all I can remember now.
Rode my bike to work two days in a row now, the plan is to try to do it all four days this week, feeling good so far!
Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!
Evelyn, Vancouver Island2
