    Rebecca - Wow how great he responded! and so sad about the penpal friend "dear johning" you - I think that the attitude if we don't agree completely, we can't be in conversation is part of the reason for the divide in America. And for most of us there are tons of things we agree on and just a few that we don't. If we had to agree on everything this forum would not exist. Heck I love black licorice and if we had to have that in common I would have few friends indeed.

    Took the extremewpump class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Bob Harper’s Ultimate Cardio Party DVD.

    Yesterday went better than I expected. Although Vince and I agreed that we’d never do this again, have Christmas 2 weeks after Christmas. Right now I put all the Christmas items (towels, tablecloths, etc) into the washer so that we can put them away. I started making yogurt yesterday and couldn’t understand why my IP didn’t have any pressure. Dhhh…if I’d just looked at my cookbook I would have seen that no pressure is needed. So it should be finished in about ½ an hour, then I’ll put it in the refrigerator to drain. Hope the milk didn’t get too low on the temp. Update: didn't get thick, not sure why. I'm trying again today. If this doesn't get thick, then I'm going to try using full fat milk

    Not going to go to mahjongg tonight. Jess is going to go to ceramics with us tonight and her friend who was here last night, Amanda, said that she was coming. Now will she? Who knows? Update: she did come and said that she'll be coming back

    NYKaren – I’m so sorry about your mother. Think of the many years you had with her. How you feel about her OCD really warmed my heart.

    Well, getting back on track today. I had some corn muffins and last year I would have eaten the last 2 since I feel guilty throwing perfectly good food away. This year I did throw them out. Well…the fact that Jess used the convection cook feature on my oven might have added to it. The muffin was soft on the inside but crispy on the outside. That’s not something I expected. Well, I never use my convection feature. I probably should.

    Found this recipe for this soup for the IP. Something about it being a weight loss soup. Well, I just want to try it anyway.

    Vince said that tomorrow we’ll start taking the outside decorations down. First thing will be the inflatables. I wish somehow we can get the totes that go in the house taken in before we inflate the inflatables in the garage because that really fills up the garage.

    Lisa AR – Congratulations!!!! Levi is so adorable

    Rebecca – I’m so happy for you

    "Todo"s and "done"
    Done: BBB&B, Post office, make tuna salad, safety hint,
    Bonus: 120 mins sorting, filing and Part B reconcile, 5 mins engagement training both Tumble and Shadow, firehall grant quote.
    to do: invest 10 mins cleaning kitchen/laundry, carryover invest 10 mins, (including dusting) cleaning LR, MBth, Dr. Holley voice mail, call electrician, start taking tree down, call Carolyn, line dance, look at 20 for 20 what can you do and when?
    Cleaning investment flop again today. Tomorrow I will not wait for a moment when Joe’s outside but will find something I can do NOW.

    Frustrated today trying to reconcile Part B invoices. Claims for invoices are mixed across several different Medicare EOB and Medigap Insurance statements, none of which cover the same time period. Grr. Dogs roughhousing, Joe wanting to chat all while I’m waist deep in paper. V. cranky and almost late for BB&B. Was so rushed, left cell phone at home so didn’t get step count for exercise class or shopping. Thankfully hip cooperated, and, funny thing: after BB&B I felt so much better, calmer, happier, not mad at anyone. Go figure ;)

    Welcome Lilylady3k from Texas,
    Lisa Welcome Levi Matthew!
    Ginny in OH, I’ve suddenly become “sensitive” to citrus, buzzing, burning lips and mouth after clementines, grapefruit even navel oranges. Could something that you’ve always used on your face before, be triggering an allergic reaction now?
    Rebecca Halelujah for your son’s contact. As for the penpal who couldn’t maintain a friendship with you because your political views differ, how sadly misguided! I’m sure you had more in common as human women than your political differences. Her loss indeed.
    Kim ditto all you said except about the black licorice. Yuck! :laugh:


    Lighter, lovelies!

    Viv,
    Sending positive thoughts and prayers to your sister. Hopefully the new treatment helps her fight the beast called cancer.

    Good morning peeps! <3

    Rebecca
    - so happy you've heard from DYS!!! What a relief. And yes, your penpal has chosen to lose a really wonderful and thoughtful person.

    Karen in VA - are you totally retired now? Sounds like your days will be filled with fun and happy things to do. Your partner must be getting along well. <3

    Barbara AHMOD - I cringed to hear about your medical bill _______. Praying you get it all sorted out with minimal frustration. Neat that BB&B went well after all that! Hey, how is your new raincoat/rainsuit doing? I managed to get in about 15 minutes yesterday between downpours. My coat got pretty wet but I stayed dry. I wouldn't have wanted to stay out any longer though.

    Evie - Yep, I hear you on the rain! My jacket got draped over a chair in the kitchen to drip on the linoleum. Haven't had to do that in a long time. We've gotten 4" of rain so far this month. Good for you with the decluttering/cleaning and I like that word "Transform". Pretty nifty!

    Allie - your boss is a doozy. Praying that job at the nursing home opens up and you can tell him Adios! Maybe it will end up being just him and his wife there. Let HER assist, lol.

    Pip - when I saw that long post from you I thought you got hacked.

    Viv - sending prayers for your SIL. They are making medical advances all the time, hope the treatment she's on works well.

    A minor river is flooding this morning - actually crested last night but has spread over fields and some roads. But shouldn't impact me on my drive to Walmart this morning, lol. Cleaner coming at 8 so I will need to scram. DH takes the dogs and sleeps on his recliner in the shop during the 2 hours she's here.

    So make it a great day, ladies! B)

    Morning Ladies~
    I am up and having my tea.. and having a case of the guilties..
    today is both Drs on and Zina's dad still up and down.they are trying to find a Dental Assistant to help today with Dr P. and if Zina's dad gets worse she wont be there. I dont usually work tues or weds, but Mary asked me awhile ago to work Weds, so I will..
    Dr P said if there are any mistakes when it comes to insurance breakdowns and he loses money he will take it out of my paychecks.. i work around 25 hrs a week , and from a legal prospective that is illegal ,so I am going to shower and get dressed up and stop at the nursing home to see if I can talk to the HR today.. as it was I was sitting on the floor for 2 1/2 hrs putting a computer cart together yesterday.
    so today if they dont have an assistant he will be working on his own...
    but I have to work the rest of the week.. oh well..
    Lisa~ Levi is adorable .. babies are so cute and squishy
    well will finish my tea and get a moving...

    Hugs to you Allie.
    Is there any way you can set your phone to record in an attempt to get some of the things Dr. P says to you? I would start building a case. If not I would purchase a notebook (one where you can tell if a page is ripped out) and start keeping notes of the conversations.
    Sending positive thoughts and prayers to you in your mission today. I think we all agree you need to get out of that office and in to a more positive environment. :)
