Well I didnt nap but today I did some relaxing and I'm a sucker for Hallmark movies so that has been.my afternoon6

My dinner went perfectly.
Calories horrific, especially the 'beurre noire'.
But I managed to clock up 950 burn today, so not an entire disaster. Sent the rest of the stinky cheese back with my son.
Barbie - Food is my passion. I especially love a convivial meal and everything that goes with it. In fact, I hardly had to cook anything. But I love to get the house ready and have the table looking welcoming. Presentation is two thirds of it. For me food is the lens through which I see the world.

Thanks 😊
Downloaded an app Daughter found lots of volunteers to a few blind. It’s called Be my eyes https://apps.apple.com/us/app/be-my-eyes-helping-the-blind/id905177575
Rare to get a call it says but when you do if available you answer.Then read something or tell the color of it for a blind person.

Machka: I have a camelia that is winter blooming and I love it. It is Camelia Sasanqua Jingle Bells. It is a single with red petals and a yellow center. It usually blooms around Christmas or New Years but is in bloom early this year.
Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon
Ours are winter blooming too ... it means that we have flowers year round.

Yes ... this is just a thread in a subforum.
And on the topic of security ...Most, if not All – Yes, I am not delusional and do realize so much of our live are on line despite the fact I am not a cloud user because we are all on the cloud (by the way it’s not really a cloud it’s a server somewhere in the world). Let’s look at MFP. Do we know who has access or could possibly gain access to our data? That said we have enough tracking in our lives (hm, all of those computer chips in our cars, cards, phones, health trackers, etc.). OK, I digress and really am not crazy with it, but privacy issues are something I think about often.
Pleasant thoughts to all.
SuziQ – Broward County, FL
What we write in this thread (and each month's thread) is public ... it's accessible by anyone.
As for our other data here on MFP, I'm not overly concerned. They don't have any financial data and I don't connect MFP to anything else. By my food choices, they can tell I live in Australia, but that's no secret. And they can tell I exercise, but I don't think that's a secret either.
I also think a lot more about security/privacy ... especially after having taken a couple courses in it as part of my degree!

Well, read the 168 posts that I have missed this week. Was busy every evening this week. Oldest son and his wife have talked me into going to Phoenix for Christmas. Will be my first in-person Christmas with their two children. Am looking forward to it. Still shipping most of the presents in advance. Finished shopping for youngest son. Have to get stuff wrapped and bug step-son and wife for gift ideas for them and the three boys.
Cooked two turkeys today for Thanksgiving dinner at church tomorrow. We will have nice lunch. Always interesting to see what people bring. I'm taking a Mandarin Orange salad and a cranberry salad. Those are two things I know I can eat along with the turkey. Won't have the stuffing (stove-top, ugh) and potatoes are instant. No problem turning those down. Will decide if there is a desert really worth having tomorrow.
Very tired, off to bed.

Does this mean that I need to turn off my GPS?

Made all of today's to-dos except dog group, ran out of time and energy.
Sunday will go to church, stop at Freddie's, walk Tumble, do some more laundry and abstain from alcohol.
Machkathe pics of your new sport. You and your DH are so generous, being there for the only rider who showed up instead of cancelling. Brava.
Karen in VA my heart goes out to you. How hard it must be for a mother to see what her son cannot about his mode of interacting with his son. Especially hard since your son refuses counseling help, it could provide him with tools that would make everyone's life better. Are there any support groups for fathers of autistic sons? Sometimes men can hear what respected men say, even though the women who love them have been saying the same things for a long time.
Amber you said it better. Hope Karen's son will check out that website.
Margaret loved hearing about the safe spot and other tools. Joe and I have magic phrases that help. Instead of shrieking at Joe that he has his head up his nether regions, I say (as calmly as possible) “Really hope you will reconsider, let's talk about it later.” Works much better.
Michele if you have an iPhone, go to Settings/Privacy/Location Services, then you can select which apps can access location and when.Security/privacy concerns prevent me from using my phone for anything financial, banking, shopping anything. I do bank electronically and shop from my laptop, with the wireless radio turned off, and connected to the internet through an ethernet cable, but honestly doubt it makes a significant difference.
On a lighter note, Tumble and Shadow are playing wrestle as well as chase and even drinking from the same bowl at the same time.https://youtu.be/k9_5bWPOOgM
We are relieved.
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 November: get up and do it EVERY day!

Amber That was a really great video about Dads & Autism. I can send it to my daughter-in-law. My son will watch it if she recommends it.

Thanks for all the great support & feedback from everyone…being heard is healing.
Margaret Thanks in particular for sharing your perspective - you are so right...when you are a fixer it's hard not to fix! My son is definitely a fixer. I'm sure it's frustrating for him to have a child with autism.

My 13-year-old grandson was subdued at the family get-together last night; he sat at the end of the table and focused on his food. My son, on the other hand, was upbeat and energetic. He made a point of sitting directly across from me, something he rarely does, and was engaging & conversational. The occasion was my daughter-in-law's birthday. She is the best.
Just before our gathering, my partner and I spent an hour holding little Lilly. She is 2 weeks old now, and doing great. Gaining weight, sleeping a lot, occasionally keeping Dad up at night. No new Star Logs yet, but stepson said he plans to post one soon.
Karen in Virginia6 -
Karen VA: (((Hugs))) Families can be difficult at the best of times. Throwing something like autism into the mix makes it even harder. Nothing to add to the insights already posted from others. Just enormous admiration for what you do for your grandson. His father 'knows' with his mind, but his heart still has to be convinced.
Michele: Anyone can read the drop-in pages. They are public forums. I have a personal rule that I never disclose anything really private in a public forum.
I'm have a cynical view of modern technology. I use external hard drives for my back-ups. I will avoid using internet banking unless absolutely necessary, until they can convince me of it's security. And I ain't easy to convince. Been involved with computing since it's inception. Anything that can go wrong it usually does. We just don't always know or hear about it until well after the fact.
I got some lovely gift items for my DED for her birthday tomorrow. We will deliver them this afternoon. Just have to finish her card now and I'm good to go!
🎄🤶 Gratitude for Christmas 🎅🏻🎄#1: Scents: loved the smell of the roses I put into my Floral arrangement#4: Food: Fresh produce form my own garden ..... or ....... Chocolate! 🍫 My ultimate comfort food!
#2: Technology: Glad that I had my car and didn’t have to stand in the cold waiting for a bus
#3: Colour: the colour of the beautiful sunset as I walked home in the late afternoon
💕💖💕 Have a Blessed Sunday! 💕💖💕

Morning ladies!
Since I worked yesterday, today is all about getting in my steps and arm strength routine. DH has asked me out on a lunch date and I’m looking forward to that as well.
DH did a huge amount of cleaning inside and out yesterday, I came home to an immaculate kitchen and the backyard swept up—color me happy.

Food - Garlic and chilli. Stinky cheese. :laugh:
Just watched the Dad's Autism video. Excellent. Thank you, Amber.
DH 's elder daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's last year, in her late 40s. Makes a lot of things clear to him that were puzzling before and she is relieved to have a name for her problems. The book called Neurotribes is very good. At the moment it is free on my Amazon Prime, though we have a hard copy.
I often think that if the police ever needed a profile of me and my life, then Amazon would have soooooo much info on me! It pretty much would tell you everything you needed to know about me.
The one thing we won't do is have store cards and we won't do Airbnb, or anything that wants your photo ID. We barely touch Facebook. I don't do Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest. However I do know that everything is out there and it's frightening. All those cookies. :sad: And not the fattening kind.
