400+ posts on this thread since my post last week!
Of course I just skimmed. I tried to answer if someone wrote to me. If I missed it it's not intentional.
Otherwise I read quite randomly over the 10+ pages.
@barbiecat Thanks for the welcome back.
@cityjaneLondon how it higher range of BMI better for the bones? How is that related to scraggy? baking morning looks fun and creative.
@GodMomKim cutting back on sugar should help with yeast-related issues.
@KetoneKaren congratulations on the baby!
@auntiebk thank you for the welcome back! interesting about the mushrooms
@ginnytez thanks for the welcome back. your progress on house things sounds great.
@Machka9 congratulations on enrolling for the fall.
@lhcapil I like your healthy habits list
@1948Peachy BMI and WL path is partly relative. I'm heavier than I have been in decades.
@OregonMother Will you be able to get the coverage back again? I think if you leave something like that box, at some level you want it to be read.
Hi to everyone else.
BMI- As I said last week, I'm on the high side of recommended BMI. The calculator I just looked at said I'm at 24.5. (They vary). I feel quite lumpy in the middle with this weight. it goes to my waist which is not recommended...I've gone up from about 55k to 60-61k in the last 3 years or so. a gain of about 10% more than the past decades and most of my life, so I really feel it. When I was last around such a weight I was quite young 20s or early 30s and very athletic and muscular. So really my BMI is by far highest ever for me and I am not at ease with it. I googled after reading some of your comments and did find that higher BMI may be linked to better longevity. The studies deal with people over 65 and I am 56 though. It's food for thought. (Pun not really intended, but acknowledged.) My female GP probably over 55 said that it's too much work to stay slim at an older age for most people, and to accept the extra 5k is better for most, otherwise one needs to focus so much on not eating and on getting lots exercise. I was naturally very physically active till around 40 or so. My older sister (around 64) is quite physically active. We spent a few days together last month. She left me a note in the morning: "5am going for a swim, 6 am going to the qi kong session found online in the park, 7 am going to grocery store". She's more overweight than me (used to be obese in her mid 30s to mid 50s), but physical activity is a must for her and always has been. She often uses lunch break at work for a 'necessary' walk and eats a sandwich at her desk while working. She's not at all appearance-focused compared to most, but really does focus on health.
Time Change: I missed it this year. I was in a plane with 6h time change. I didn't realise the time change had already happened (here in October, while I was in the air) until yesterday. They are going to end time change in Europe in 2020 or 2021. Each country chooses whether to keep summer or winter time. It's never been a big deal for me. I like the extra hour of sleep or whatever in fall and I have done ok in spring. I used to be a real morning person, so I was always up long before work anyway. My work schedule is staggered and changes from semester to semester and year to year. If they stick to summer hours here- which seems likely- on December 21 the sun will rise at 9:41. I start some classes at 8:30, so that means 1h of teaching in pitch black times. The kids are already not great at all getting to class on time at the 8:30 sessions. Some have an hour commute. The very late summer evenings are pleasant though, and very good for socialising and going out. (10pm sunset on June 21). I wager priority will be given to the latter : enjoying spring and summer evenings, as opposed to easier morning wake ups. It's not an early morning culture here at all. The earliest gyms open at 7 am. A 7:30 meeting or early morning breakfast meeting is unheard of. I believe I've never been to a meeting here that started before 9 am. 9 am is probably the usual starting time for work. some start at 8:30 -that would be the earliest for a normal job, usually for service oriented (reception, etc), and many can start as late as 10 am : in cultural fields, computer fields and finish at 6pm (normal finishing time) or 7pm. if you meet friends to eat out, 8pm would be a usual time to meet. Most restaurants traditionally don't serve meals (and many are closed) if you arrive between 2pm and 7pm! Though that is changing, and they often have some snack options. They serve if you arrive from 12 to 2 and from 7 to 9:30 or 10 pm.
I am so tired/lazy. I am teaching 23 contact hours per week this semester in higher ed. (a normal full time is about 12 hours, allowing for prep, research, correction, etc.). Since I get adjunct pay we need to do many more hours. And still that doesn't make ends meet so I accepted 2 translations that overlapped. That was really too much. One was not bad and the other was not well written and I had some major computer issues at the same time and it was just before I was going away for a week. I gave the 1st one an estimate and didn't hear back. In that case I figure they found someone cheaper or whatever. That happens maybe 1 out of 3 or 4 times. Then someone else asked me to do a bigger one less of a rush. So I said ok. Then the 1st one got back to me. The 1st one was rather well-written. The 2nd one was complex to translate, and the contact person was a bit unpleasant.
So I was working most weekends and some evenings for about 6 weeks or so. Now I feel like just collapsing and staying in bed and watching videos or websurfing when I have a day off.
I have much to do: have to send lawyer some info after meeting last Friday. (He is great and I am luck to have him.)
Place is disorder
Need to go over class files and prep some.
Answer some colleagues about work.
Admin stuff.
Rental apartment stuff.
The quantity of stuff to do makes me feel overwhelmed and makes me want to do nothing.
I'm so glad we have tomorrow off. Monday is my longest teaching day: 5x 1.5h classes with big numbers.
I'm a bit whiny! I need to get to gym today before it closes. (only open 9-5 on Sundays!)
Really need to clean some.
And start on lawyer stuff to get that out of the way.
Tomorrow I can do school-related stuff: mails, prep, organisation, etc.
And rental apartment-related stuff...
weight today: 60.8k (high for me!)
Food so far: 166 calories : 15 g carbs, 15 g fat, 9 g protein (GF soy-rice-chestnut bread, soy yogurt, squash seeds, a trickle of maple syrup

I'm really not big on running any more! I ran from 16 to 20 a bit (not extremely) then started to have back or knee issues - I don't remember which. I noticed that just about everyone who ran regularly including very young people had back or knee issues so I stopped till around 46 or so, when I started hanging out w an ex-marathon runner and still half-marathon runner and started going for regular little jogs. Then after a few years about a year ago I started having minor foot issues and then knee issues (meniscus) this summer when hiking. I used to dance quite a bit from about age 45-48 or so with a lot of jumping. I ran into a colleague who was a dancer and she has major issues in her feet and shoulder and I think it must be related to lots of dancing and jumping. Now I have to take care even in not walking too much in a row! annoying!1

@machka9 in response to your question about favorite exercise:
walking
swimming in nature (ocean or lake or slow current river not too cold water)
dancing (does dancing count?)2 -

The Legendary John and Heather- Whoot! Love the pic!
Vicki in WI- I got a giggle out of your question " is mowing the lawn a sport?" Other than walking, this is my most frequent "summer sport". Yard tending. Big yard so mowing (push mower with no power drive) took about two-two and a half hours. Do I enjoy it? Not particularly; but it is a huge calorie burner. With winter rearing it's head, I have sent my mower to the shed and pulled out my shovels. Shoveling my driveway is my big calorie burner for the winter. Michigan girl, here.
Favorite sport/exercise- Well, I love to be outdoors, so walking, hiking are big ones because they can be done year round. I love swimming. Weight gain and injuries have me sidelined from running (which I enjoy more than walking; endorphins). I have never been big on bike riding; but I do love skating. Roller skates and ice skates.
My calorie burners for the day will be emptying the small sandbox (holds about 300 lb of sand) and storing that and the playhouse in the shed, cleaning out the eves/gutters on the house (we only have them on the front) and decorating and hanging the large (60" diameter) wreath on the house. If I am really ambitious, I will get the lights hung as well. We shall see. So...I better cut the chit chat and get a move on. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Favorite sport? Is mowing the lawn and keeping up with the outside flowers and foliage a sport? I just love it when my yard is freshly cut, it looks so nice. I push mow it and we have a fairly big yard for living in town. It takes me 45 minutes non stop to mow, then another hour to weed eat. I get boxed in the winter with nothing to do outside.
Vicki, southern WI
That sounds like a great way to stay active. In the spring and summer here, I try to work in my yard for about an hour every day. We have a small yard so what I do is fun rather than endless demanding chores but I love being outside and digging in the dirt and moving the rocks around. I was in charge of mowing at a different house and I loved the sense of order that mowing created. A lot of what I do in my yard now encourages stretching and flexibility. It is rainy here now, so no yard work but I walk every day.

Favorite sport/activity: I don't have any. I don't really get enjoyment from being active, I just like the results. I like kayaking, but don't ever do it. I like hiking, but rarely get out there anymore. I used to like running, but have lost the desire. I like walking sometimes, but mostly I just do things because it's healthy.1

Happy Sunday!
Terri - wonderful poem. Wish I lived closer; I'd take your creative writing class.
Lisa - I love to read about all outdoor chores and "home improvement". So nice to have some acreage and see the ongoing progress.
Barbara AHMOD - good thing you spotted Shadow's incision problem and got her seen by the vet quickly.
Heather - neat mention (and photo) of you and John at Swing Class
I just finished watching a British mystery series on Amazon Prime called "The Bay". Wow, very good. Wonder if there will be a season 2?
seregogel0724 - good job getting in shape after retirement! Love that photo of you and your Great Dane. Before I retired, I had a "sit down" job but easily walked from 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day. Up to copy machine, back to the files, up to the counter, jaunts all over the building. My DH is not active at all (RA & other health issues) so it's been a challenge to get steps in at times. Keep up the good work.
Carol - your new kitchen gadget sounds great. Nice to get something you can use on a regular basis. That reminds me, I need to pull the IP off the shelf and check out recipes. I think I'm ready to get rid of my Kitchenaid. Haven't used it in 3 years. I have some friends who might like it.
OK ladies, have a super day!

I have been absent from the thread due to having a house full of guests during the Halloween season. DS, DDIL & DGS were here for 10 days and we filled those days with sightseeing, visiting old friends of theirs. It was great. Before that, I spent a week in Illinois with my daughter and family where I caught a very nasty sinus infection. I’ve finally finished my course of antibiotics after two rounds of the medicine.
I am happy to be home with DH, getting some rest, and touching bases here.
Happy November!

Question for you all. Are any of you or do any of you know avid readers who are dyslexic? I ask because my niece is dyslexic and likes to read, but is being discouraged from being a "reader," because she reads slowly and it's "hard." I don't want her to think that just because of these things, she can't be a reader. But, if it's truly not likely to happen, I'd like to know that. I just don't want to believe it.4

Anyone know what this means? "You need the Vanilla.Comments.Edit permission to do that." I get this if I try to edit my post.

Went for my run by the sea in the beautiful sunshine. Lots of people promenading on a Sunday afternoon. DH turned around when I did because his back has been bothering him, especially at night. Sacro iliac? He has the most terrible posture, but has always done so much exercise he has been able to compensate. Now it's catching up with him. He does do exercises from the internet a few times a week. He is not used to having physical problems. Of course, he won't go for help as he thinks there is no point and he has read all about it. He is mostly ok while he keeps moving around, but it really bothers him at night.
Bananas - Bone health in women has a lot to do with oestrogen. After the menopause oestrogen is mainly obtained from fat stores. However, the damage is usually done earlier in life. The women I know who have had unnecessary fractures have been long term dieters, low calcium eaters and often high alcohol imbibers. Weak bones is the highest cause of disability as we age. Along with low core strength. You are still relatively young.
Luckily, I have heredity on my side as my mother had strong bones and I have stronger than average bones. DH 's aunt was a thin bird and very, very humped. She has recently had her second broken hip.
Stressing the bones through impact, weight bearing s exercises and weight training is the best thing you can do for yourself, along with keeping a healthy, not too low, weight.

Tina-my son is 31,and although he’s not dyslexic,he was born with optic nerve atrophy and hypoplasia.School was Definitely a challenge for us.It took him Linger to read And process what he read.Transferring words from the board to his paper was Interesting.I had to be there for him Every step,but He has the determination to make it.And I don’t believe in phones for young children,maybe some of the electronic devices for children would be worth looking into.My son has become a much better speller since texting.But he still lives home because of his vision,and we’re good with it.But don’t let her give up on reading.5

Hi Gals,
Tina that’s weird! I’m no help 😊
Katla – glad to hear you are doing better. Happy your visits with family went well. I know you miss them so much.
Tina– anyone who is willing and interested in learning something should! My god-daughter’s last boyfriend was severely dyslexic and an active member in a book club that meets every other month as each month would be to hard for him. He would also use audio books in school very often.

Shottz99 - Diagnosed a friends son with Numbers Dyslexia back in the day was a small town when the school gave your kid a bad rap I came in told the problem tutored wrote school a note. (1 kid was an abusive father she was mad at the world- Mom took advice kicked Abuser out who gambling addiction took rent money left mommy with bruised eyes Y school let her go to next 1st grade instead of holding her back she graduated valedictorian )(Another tutored noticed he would look around the room seemed nervous 😟 or bored 😐 expressions so asked him point to number 1 .He pointed at the clock on the wall.point to 5 he pointed at the floor. Okay not an English/Spanish mix up found the numbers jumped off the page for him floated on the air the most extreme dyslexic. He took classes at school did not repeat the grade y graduated but has girlfriend do his checkbook to jobs without numbers.He still struggling) .Daughter Bio- Abuser parent estranged after court was reading dyslexic he read slow only things he liked found tricks on his own family pulled him out of school in around 5th grade decided he was dumb he’s in his 60’s now. I read up on it after that that’s how I helped math kid.
Reading Dyslexia - 1.Electronic games on cell phones to computer help a lot due to pictures ones for younger kids are not just words their useful. 2. Put subtitles on the TV y movies 3. Books with pictures especially topics of interest!!! 4. Kids books don’t toss them less words per page got some that are educational don’t look babyish. 5.School specially al classes to teach dyslexic kids it helps a lot they know tips y tricks. 5. Get teachers on board with issue y school librarian. 6. Flash cards 7. Create a fun reading space Teepee ⛺️ pillows blankets bowl of snacks fun books y comic books!!! Stacked .calms so less nerves mom or you can sit in big teepee with them (make a fort if need be string y blankets or Walmart.com 5ft teepees). 8. Read with trusted family members go slow don’t put them on the spot nerves exhasperate it! Read take turns giggling laughing mispronounce a few words even go oops 😬 I mean (okay to make mistakes example). Fear of mistakes y persecution for it or being made fun of is their fear real or not it’s there it creates performance anxiety. 9. Look up on YouTube to news Actors with dyslexia theirs actually a bunch of them a few are coming out about it. Sometimes a hero just like them is a must.
10. Write words in messy stuff (crayola new gel boards),play doh,slime,shaving cream,etc etc 11.spell words out loud singing dancing being fun the spelling sticks helps them when they mess up 12. AUDIO Books to online books YouTube video of books being read out loud 13. Go to stores or ice cream parlor have them read a label or two give a treat as a reward

Bananas - thank you for your kind words.
Busy weekend up until now... gym both mornings, then went with the hubby to work to chop a bunch of oak - we're ready for the next few days of freezing temperatures. Also found beef ribeye roasts on sale for a loss leader, and filled the freezer with enough that we won't need to buy beef until the summer.
My husband drank a few glasses of wine Saturday night, and I was able to get him talking about his brother. I hope it helped him. He talked for nearly an hour about his brother and his dad, who died just a bit over a year ago. I love him so dearly, and hate to see him hurting if a few words can be some kind of balm for his heart... not that he would ever say he needs it, and perhaps he doesn't.
Today was final cleanup on getting rid of one of the rotten sheds on the property, and got that done. Lanette - this is for you: The burnpit is now a garden surrounded by rock sides (and under black plastic for the winter), which produced more than 40 pounds of tomatoes, as well as quite a few potatoes, jalapenos and green beans all summer. The sycamore can barely be seen by the burn barrel in the left hand top of the first picture, and is now 15 feet high and spreading skyward. We got rid of the yellow shed on the right, finally, today, and over the course of the year, the chickenyard that was all grown up on the left, and fencing across the whole yard that's hard to see in the shade.
Glad winter is going to keep us inside for awhile, and looking forward to the spring.
Later, y'all,

Amber and all- Thank you so much for your replies about my dyslexic niece. I think everyone in her life should be encouraging her to read and always be positive. I don’t know who’s telling her she’s a bad reader, but I have listened to her and read with her and she is definitely NOT a bad reader. She just takes a bit more time. Right after I listened to her read with her tutor, she told me she’s a bad reader. I tried to encourage her, but someone in her life is holding her back. She lives 1600 miles away from me, so I cannot be there much. When I am, I always encourage her. She is home schooled now with a private tutor for reading who specializes in teaching dyslexic kids. I was just concerned that I was being dumb about it and should not encourage her if it just wasn’t reasonable.
Thank you all.
