I spent 7 hours in the ER with my mom. Apparently she had a migraine headache. She hasnโt had a migraine in years. Sleeping now, thank goodness!!
The bike ride looks awesome. Iโm getting ready to head to the park for a walk. The weather is awesome today, but itโs supposed to be 92-98 all of next week! So done with the high temps!!
Allergies - Louisville, KY is a top 10 city for allergies! Columbus, OH wasnโt much better. The ragweed is making me miserable!!

Go!!! Pip & Kirby!!! Ride like the wind!!!
Too knackered to comment tonight. Will sleep like a baby as I was working in the garden today!5 -
Sue in WA: Iโm so happy that your ulcers are healing!
Rho: My yoga classes are in Columbia City, a little town about 40 miles west of PDX.
Teri in AZ: Congrats on your weight loss progress. WTG!!!
Barbara: The mean neighbor has moved away. There is a new family in that house and they are delightful people.
Lynda: WAHOO! Maybe we can all be on a glutton free diet. :bigsmile:
Pip & Kirby: WTG!!!!!!
Have a great day!

Finally caught up. Too much going on last few days to be on too much. Doesnโt take long for 200 posts!
Dandi1986 โ curious as to why you are limiting yourself to 1200 calories a day? That is pretty aggressive. Maybe try adjusting your weekly loss goal?
Rhonda โ glad doctorโs were able to sort out your issues and provide assistance.
Lisa in AR -so true that the only thing we can control is our own reactions/actions.
Allie โ our fur babies are our family!
LuciBThinner -glad surgery went well, sorry for the pain. No two surgeries are ever the same. Donโt beat yourself up over the ice cream-once in while wonโt ruin anything.
Sue in WA โ glad endoscopy showed good results.
BananasandOranges โ sorry knee is not showing progress. Mine is still bothersome (forgot to ask doctor about it). I have found using a roller on the inner thigh muscle to provide relief. I just need to remember to do it regularly. Are you going to see one of the two other doctors you can? Good news on your colleague.
Debby in VA โ Happy Anniversary!
Teri in AZ โ congrats on weight loss. Whatever you set for your goal right now is always open to change. Try for 160 and see how you look and feel. It was hard for me to tie a number with how I would look and feel.
Karen in Virginia โ thanks for explanation about emojis and pictures. Havenโt been able to figure that out.
Pip โ I am tired looking at what you are are riding! Good cause. One of my favorite people at work has MS. She seems to have things in hand at the present most days. Took her forever to get diagnosed โ doctor was writing it off to hysterical woman. But she knew her body and perservered.
Busy day today. Got cleaning done. Laundry and ironing. New curtains hung. My husband always liked dark curtains on living room (think black). Didnโt want anyone to be able to see in. Made things pretty dark, think his depression may have drawn him to it. Decided to replace those a few years ago-I went from black to burgundy (a bit lighter). Cats have mad some snags in them and sun fading out and I just got tired of dark and gloomy. Ordered some off Amazon (not spending lots because cats like to hang out in front picture window). Very light gray with silver foil design. Very pleased with how much they brighten up the rooms. And they are thermal backed, so I think they will keep peeping Toms at bay.
Going to check some emails (trying to keep up on them). Also, I think there are some going to my junk mail that shouldnโt be, so need to check those boxes also.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio6 -
Go Pip Go!!

Thank you to all who have sent good wishes to me on my eyes! It means so much to me!! They are doing very well! Still getting used to them, and still bothered by light, but my vision (distance) is SO good!! Expecting them to be fabulous in the very near future! I no longer need glasses for distance, and reading is still tough (need reading glasses), so I am very behind on reading September's days...and the pages keep coming...lol!
Michele I meant the damage of falling into eating ice cream to feel better. It's not a big deal, just an emotional one.
Got in some walking today. It's been tough to get exercise while recouping (because my depth perception is off and through today the flashing was rough). I had to walk indoors with sunglasses...everyone may have thought I was crazy, but what do I care at this age!!
I still hope to get back to reading from the beginning of the month. I really enjoy hearing how everyone is doing and I like keeping up with everyone. It's a bit tough as quickly as the pages fill, but I know I will get there.
I haven't set goals for the month because quite frankly I am keeping them very limited so as not to fail. My biggest goal is to continue to log daily, keep moving, and get my house ready for the new baby. Having until December to do it would make it seem like an easy goal, but there is SO much clutter and dirt (having two large dogs drag in dirt multiple times a day doesn't help) and since I went for 11 years without being able to do much cleaning at all, it is amazing how dirty a house can get!!
Thank you, again, all who have said such kind things and have voiced concern. I expect today was the last day it will be so difficult to focus!
Welcome Newbies!!
My new Ohio State friends, feel free to razz me about today's game. And congrats on killing Cincinnati! Omgosh! Barely beating Army??? What in the world has happened to my poor team! LOL!
Luci in WNC4 -
Machka Just remembered about your father's eye surgeries. Did he have similar work done? I will keep him in my prayers. Harder to go through this when you are older I am sure. My Dad could barely handle the drops afterward when I cared for him. I don't even feel them.2

Terri โ BBBEEEAAAUUUTTTIIIFFFUUULLL cardigan. I donโt think I could ever do something like that
Welcome everyone new. The best advice is to log, log, log along with exercise
Went in the pool (of course) then the spa, Vince grilled the salmon and chicken so I portioned and packed that up for use the next few weeks
Wish DJ would come back. I see sheโs still logging, tho
I made a lap quilt to hang up. Started to hand quilt it, but I HATE quilting so took that out, got backing material so Iโll take it to someone to quilt for me. The material for the back is usually a little more than $7, it was on sale so I paid a little over $2.
Lynda โ glutton freeโฆLOL
Pip โ WTG Pip and Kirby

Ginny, when you post an emoji, it looks like a lot of code in the reply box and doesn't show up until you post the reply. Try clicking on "quote" under someone's post when they post an emoji and you'll see the code for the emoji. Sometimes when I see one that I like, I do that and copy the code to my post or to a document on my computer so I can use it later.

Checked in last night but only read two pages before had to go to sleep Something about a fully active day of T'ai Chi, priming the deck's hand rails, and a really sweaty two hours of line dancing.
Allergies, thankfully very few: Codeine, Vicodin, and unpleasant reactions to flu shots so I avoid all vaccines nowadays. Sneeze a lot when cutting up sweet bell peppers, but no trouble eating 'em
grandmallie Definitely do-able. Like Rori said, you could be such an entrepreneur. imho first step would be to get SBA advice on state requirements, business loans, other first steps. Glad you enjoyed Poms, me too.
Kim Brava for checking van cost, DMV etc. Allie might need bonding, even special training too, assuming she'll be helping folk in and out of the van, not just driving. She may have created her ideal job!
Luci sorry for your eye pain. Since Joe's last laser treatment, he says his eye "wobbles" and is afraid that after next test Dr. will recommend surgery. Pressure is up to 20 in that eye. I'm reluctant, want him to get a second opnion from OHSU's Casey Eye Clinic. They're a research university hospital so believe they'd be up on any alternatives, and/or the latest most effective procedures. Alas, he refused to go to the big city (Portland).
Lanette LOVED the Jan Karon series, wish it had gone on forever. "...in the park" makes for the best T'ai Chi, wish we did it here. Whoops surprise thunderstorm, that's a lot of Chi circulating around y'all!
Lisa "the only way I've ever figured out how to be a writer is to write." Yes! The first of like Heinlein's 5 rules for writing https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/421667-heinlein-s-rules-for-writers-rule-one-you-must-write-rule
Katla what a mean neighbor. How miserable she must have been to do such a nasty thing. SMH.
Rita allergic to Christmas Trees? :noway: Guess you won't be coming to visit us
NYKaren its a great gift your giving your coworkers by listening and supporting. Do we need to remind you that in order to be able to continue giving that gift you need similar support? Please give yourself some protective boundaries, put on your anti-toxic-emotion cloak and take restorative breaks from the drama.
Rebecca I'll borrow your "put in marked container . . . aren't for me" trick when baking the next batch of cookies for Joe and the firehouse. Thanks!
pip Love, , your setup, complete with Japanese lanterns and pink flamingoes! They carded Kirby? You cougar, you!
Sue great news on the healing ulcers, well done!
Welcome @umanatraj Would you sign off with you want to be called and your general location?
Julie what does your PT say about your knee? That might help you choose between Rheumatologist and Orthopoedic surgeon. IMHO a good PT knows more about knees than a GP.
Happy 35th anniversary Debby in VA! Well done!
Teri in AZ con VERY gratulations on your victory, what a reward for all your activity. Well done!
Irish Terri would love to hear more about your writing workshop for local primary school.
Karen in VA thanks for the emoji sites!
Annie "lost 4 pounds... eating cookies must be the secret!" ROTFLMAO!
Kate hoping Sunny Spain tans away the rust soon!
Sitting long enough, will hit the hot tub before prepping Tumble for dog group.
Lighter, lovelies!
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
Word for 2019: "GOOD" good attitude, good food, good times, good choices, good enough, feel good, GOOD! Word for September: grit

You know if I mark on a container, "Lee" or my son "Galen", I will not eat their cookies! The guilt alone would kill me!๐

Well I !have my first hiccup with my Pen pals. I have gotten my first intro letter back from her, and I can't read her writing! I did decipher that she is married, with a daughter 37, and three grandkids. But beyond that is a mystery! I suppose I will write general stuff, weather, what I am cooking etc. I don't dare not write, and I don't dare state that I can't read her handwriting! I presently have about 20 pen pals that I write to.
Oh good news, my youngest Navy son in Japan is fine. Chief/his father wrote him a message on Messenger:
"What the heck son, no "I am fine after the typhoon" text, or a thanks for the box text? That is not how we raised you. Get your act together "!
He received a prompt response:
" I never know what to say, but that is no excuse . I am really sorry. I can't undo my past actions, but I will try from here on, to communicate better ".
Its interesting that he answers his father but not ever mine. I think because he can talk factually with out emotion, with his dad. Whereas with me I'm all emotions!

Pip: Yay!!!!!!
Michele: That Cardie was supposed to be done for the Summer, but it's cosy enough for the chilly snap we are having. (There were oodles of leaves on the lawn yesterday) I'm working on a quilt, and a couple of other projects this winter.
We got a new lawnmower on Friday. Hooray!!! It has an electric starter. I was having difficulty with the pull start on our old one, and the engine was giving trouble. The new one has a drive mechanism on it, but I didn't use that yesterday as I wanted the exercise of pushing it.
There is a noticeable autumn nip in the air, so will be switching out my summer clothes soon. Have lots of donation bags at the ready for my autumn purge. This year I am purging the summer clothes before I store them away.
I'm so stoked at the minute because the scale has dropped into the 150s. And the Physio for the knee is definitely making a difference.
Barbie: I copy graphics I like, too. ๐ I love the ones you post.
I meditate each morning so this one was very appealing! ๐
Luci: ๐๐ป Thanks for the Greyhounds
Rebecca: Athena is such a cutie. ๐

I'm at my son"s house with the grandkids.
DS & DDIL have gone off for a long cycle ride in their smart new gear. Matching helmets and shoes. :laugh:
In a minute I have to put the oven on for roasting two chickens and sweet potatoes. I've set the alarm on my phone.
They have just acquired three guinea pigs. Nice big cage. My history with guinea pigs is pretty traumatic, but I hope theirs have a long and healthy life. I've been looking up stuff with Max about toilet training!!!!
