    Pip - Yogi's eyes look like he is saying, "really mom, do I have to wear this sweater?". He is adorable.

    Do any of you know about MFP getting hacked and millions of people’s info was compromised. My DGS looked up my email address on some app that tells you if your email has been hacked. It said mine had been hacked with the people on MFP. knew it had and I had to change all passwords. Just wondering if you knew about it.
    Lisa- love the picture of you and Corey. You look great.
    Still in Dallas until tomorrow.

    @suebdew It looks like it happened a few times most recently back in February...

    Michele NC- Yeah anxiety not good make you feel terrible. Hopefully it can be remedied for her. Known Women who refused to move with a Husband y kids not healthy (yes they were bitter women cause eventually the Husband moved without them)

    :)Michele, What hours are your holiday decorations lighted? There are many nice decorations in my neighborhood--none as ambitious as yours--and it is so sad for the dogs and me that many people light them only in the evening. We walk between five and nine AM (sunrise is at 8 AM).

    5 to 11

    I was wrapping some of the presents for PJ, and I noticed that the one toy that Denise asked us to get is for children 3 and up. He isn't even one!!! Well, I got it for her. She said that she got him this car that you can push (he isn't walking yet) or ride in (again, he isn't even walking yet). Well...not my child

    Michele- The age labels anymore are suggestions only . Some claim they go up to age 6 but kids get bored by age 2 or too big for them fast. Think it’s a marketing ploy. I go by did we play with it at that age or my other kids I raised. Some of the toy cars are made to learn to walk or push then ride...others aren’t tho would sit for awhile in a closet unless your a giant like JR lol. Guess she’s wanting things to grow into if it’s not the push first type. Half the toys now baffles me bought JR a dog stuffed toy thought ih how cute. Then I spent days trying to figure out how to download content into it cause it wasn’t like a teddy ruxbin like I thought at all! Had to make a computer sign in account.Hook iPad up to the dog with a cable. Go through a program answer questions try to find his name or a version of it that sounds similar (was lacking in Hispanic names!) . Wait for it to download try again when it failed a lot! Then unplug switch it on. Then he could play with it. All that darn work for it to talk him get scared boo-hop up a storm! Lol 😂 now it sits in the toy box with talking Elmo . His favorite toy 🧸 the plain stuffed Winnie the Pooh Bear 🐻 ! Reminds me of a hundred dollar toy the kid plays with the box y bows lol 😂 while the toy sits to rot!

    Machka love the invisible illness post! So true as a kid folks would get mad at my mom for having a disability plaque- she had cancer,special needs, strokes,etc etc we found they missed her lung cancer the lymphnotic cancer spread too she had an oxygen tank at home only at first later to drag. Folks felt she looked fine here she was coming back from chemo.

    Hi Gals,

    Allie – Sorry to hear about Chester, he will be missed you and his other humans gave him a great life.

    Katla – If I lived closer I’d love a trip to Powell Books, could you find some one in your area to go with you?

    Lisa – You and Corey are an adorable couple!

    SuziQ – looks like the bike building was a hoot and not like something the other gals would have fit in with. I’m not sure if picking was random or not but the choice of you was a good one!

    Heather – I had never heard of sprats so I googled them – but misspelled it as sparts and that is a grass- fried grass sounded too weird, found the spelling error. LOL! We have sardines but I have never heard of sprats.

    Best wishes to all! Peace and kindness to everyone.

    My home is tiny, so there is not much space to move furniture around, but when I had the ½ house power outage, I was moving things to area’s with power and ended up with an idea that I am looking forward to implementing it will require the moving of 3 pieces a large bookcase, a highboy dresser, and a desk. All currently full! The bookcase and dresser will swap rooms and the dresser will move within the same room. The dresser has been sorted within the last 6 months, but the desk and bookcase need a serious look at. It is hard for me to part with books. But some are just “old” paperbacks that I have not re-read in many a year. A serious examination and a donation trip to the thrift store is in my future. And if I can do it in the next couple of days I might be helping someone else’s Christmas.

    This weekend was nice, I made a good dent on the rest of the “due by Christmas” embroidery, got my tree in the stand and in the house, not decorated yet (but the rest of the house is) and did my outside lights, which is the icicle lights on the eves and that is that. Takes about 30 minutes to do. Spent time with 2 different friends, one last night and one this afternoon. I also finished a tree skirt I was making for my mom for Christmas, and surprised her by bringing it to her to use this year, she has the Christmas party for her bridge group on Tuesday and wanted it to be perfect, and the sheet she puts around the tree wasn’t “ok” without the gifts piled on it. I’ll post a picture separately.

    Machka- bus y taxi sounds like the best route ! Who knows what caused it think of all the childhood things we’ve done from ball hitting our face to life in general anything could of caused it. Like usual I always wonder how Doctors miss these things for years? Like my inside out uterus! Inverted Uterus is rare but I went to tins of Doctors about bleeding after Daughter got pregnant with it not fixed! Only time I stopped bleeding was when praise God post menopause hit ! Here they all missed it! Think Doctors need to pay attention more. You went to enough Doctors it should have been discovered along time ago!

    "Todo"s and "done"s
    Did: made it to church, dip turned out more like thick beer cheese soup, lots of it and veggies left over, will freeze some of the dip to use a soup base with broccoli (or potatoes ;). Monday will stay home ALL DAY :), transplant lettuces/mustards into raised bed, finish the tree, grind the almonds, make the cresent batter, walk/comb Tumble, update firehall harassment policy and email to board.

    Machka     lovely lights!
    “The choices they've made might be the best choices for them at this time.
    The frustration they are expressing could be because of stuff going on in their lives I know nothing about.
    Their feelings do matter.
    I may need to cut them some slack.
    And I hope people can look at me and my husband with the same compassion when we're going through a tough time.”
    This, and the Be Kind/Invisible Illnesses meme, really hit me. I'm too quick to knee-jerk react when people don't behave the way I expect them to. Thank you.
    Welcome tmbg1 on the E Coast
    Barbie “. . . and I have no schedule to meet . . .” neither have I today and I'm relishing it after a week of social interactions every doggoned day. Reminds me of Machka's “doing nothing” meme.
    Julie “...then complain (like me) about complainers...” :laugh:
    Katla best of luck and good parking karma to you!
    Michele your romantic bailing wire gift for Vince reminds me of my gift for Joe, a 100ft drop cord ;) How did you burn your mouth?
    Pip ((hugs)) for first non-golden Christmas. “...buttercup” made me laugh out loud.
    Rebecca what smiles!
    Cheri wow what a variety of snowmen in your collection!
    Kim :heart:; your tree skirt surprise.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Hi all, been reading, but just haven't been able to formulate much in the way of comments, except in my head, but here goes for a few of you anyway!
    Kim, that tree skirt is breathtakingly beautiful!
    Lisa, you and Corey both look great!
    Katla, hoping you have a successful and safe trip to the bookstore!
    Allie, so sorry to hear about Chester.
    And my memory has now failed me.....
    Had a nice visit with older son and grandkids. Last time they were here (just over a month ago! and we live in the same area!) our granddaughter was cranky and grandson was in a great mood. This time, granddaughter was in a great mood and grandson was cranky. sigh. Oh well, did get some good hugs from grandson and got some play time in with him. Also got to cuddle granddaughter so I'm calling it a win. Their mother was having a craft day with her family, but we'll see all of them on Christmas Eve day. That could be a bit of a madhouse and there will only be 6 of us! lol Grandson is 3 1/2, so will be quite wired, I'm sure, about presents etc. Should be fun tho.
    House is as decorated as it's going to get, almost finished the quilt I'm making for granddaughter, need to pick up one thing for daughter in law, I've bought all I'm going to for the grandkids, but do need to get something for my boss. I'm thinking nice potted flower arrangement type thing. Or maybe some potted spring bulbs. Hmmmm, should have bought an amaryllis and got it started, then it would be getting close to blooming by now. Oh well, I'll figure it out. I bought myself an amaryllis last year, it bloomed beautifully. I tried chilling it for 6 weeks, just put it out on the deck under the bbq (protected by the bbq and the cover), it's sprouting leaves, we'll see if it sends up a flower spike or not!
    Anyway, must head to bed. Congrats to those celebrating, hugs for those who need them and welcome to the newbies.

    Rebecca Adorable, adorable, adorable!! Such Sweeties!

    Viv Your train ride sounds wonderful! Sinatra night, too! I raised my kids on Sinatra and they still love his music (along with every other kind of music).

    NYKaren I’m craving your pumpkin pie! I bought a can of pumpkin to try to make something sugar free. I think I will just try to make it with egg, cream and spices and no crust. I am crazy to try, but occasionally things that I try on my own come out tasty.

    Barbara I disagree – I think line dancing takes talent. I’ve seen people try to dance who couldn’t do it no matter how hard they tried. You also have teaching and leading talents, or you couldn’t run your classes. I think you are cutting yourself short!

    Machka Great lights and tree! Very festive! I also love the invisible disease images. I suffer from several unseen things and people don’t understand when I am not able to go places or do things, because I “look fine”. Glad you finally got the dx on the deviated septum! I have one from 5 broken noses…yes, I am that clumsy! Mine has fortunately not needed surgery since (as the doctor put it) I have one side and my mouth to breathe through.

    Hi tmbg1 Welcome to a great group of supportive women! We have probably all experienced the “joys” of weight loss after 40 not being as easy as it once was. Don’t be discouraged though, it can be done!! It just takes a little more effort and time than it used to.

    SuzyQ Beautiful flower arrangement and decorations!

    Lisa I’ve pulled up Fat: A Documentary to watch when I’ve finished reading everyone’s posts. Thanks for recommending it.

    Linda Glad you could drink water instead of eating when you finished talking to your daughter. I stress eat and have a really hard time not grabbing food mindlessly when I get worked up. I am not quite strong enough to drink water for it. I have gotten better at grabbing tea or coffee instead of food.

    Terri (and Cheri) “I’ve worked on changing from being a people pleaser to being a Terri pleaser. Very liberating!!!” I’m so glad you wrote this! I am going to work on being a Luci pleaser! A lifetime of people pleasing has been exhausting.

    Carol I like your word Compassion! I have met some great women lately who have been through a lot and I often try to put myself in their shoes to imagine why they feel the way they do. I think of myself as a compassionate person – maybe because of some of the trials I went through over the years. At the same time, I don’t think we can ever be too compassionate. Did your 2019 focus on Peace bring you new awareness about achieving peace for yourself and your family?

    Katla A bit jealous of your Powell’s shopping day. I would love to spend time in a good bookstore. I don’t know of any near me. There must be one somewhere, but I haven’t found it yet. I’m like you in that I want to touch the books and see them more than just the few sample pages on Amazon.

    Pip Sweet, sweet Yogi! What a great job he did on his solo Christmas shoot! I wish I could get my dogs to sit by the tree. They don’t sit on command (it isn’t easy to train a grey to sit…some, like mine, aren’t even able to sit normally).

    Cheri Your snowmen are great!

    Kim Beautiful tree skirt!

    2:30 in the morning...another night without sleep...ugh! So much nervous energy waiting for the baby to arrive!!

    Fortunately my specialist hasn't taken that approach. I can breathe through one side of my nose, but it's not ideal. I can also breathe through my mouth but I absolutely hate doing that ... my mouth gets dry within seconds, then my throat gets sore, then all the post nasal drip makes me choke, and I suspect that some of my teeth problems might be because I may sleep with my mouth open. I wake up every night with choking and a sore throat, and I choke frequently when I drink water or whatever.

    It's actually been a relief to be diagnosed! Hopefully they can fix it.
