Heather - I am with you in allowing children to be children. I have an older cousin who pushed her children all the time. They never had time to just be kids. Those now adult children have major issues, drug abuse and mental health issues. A lot of studies have been done now about play time and how it has long lasting positive effects.
Katla - I guess I didn’t say that my journal and such really helped me. I have not had to go back onto my anti depressants at all. I work hard to keep my mental health in balance and do things that make me happy.
I know though that depression is a chemical imbalance and not always situational so I fully support seeing a doctor too.
Barbara - it reached -25 this afternoon. Supposed to be -4 by Monday!

Tracey: I am so impressed by all that you have accomplished. Your journal sounds powerful and positive. WTG!!!2

Barbara - Scraperboard is a black card you draw on by scraping away the black. This set has colours underneath, but it's usually white. He didn't try it this time.
I've found the pics I want on Dropbox, so I'm ready to have another go at the website. Still want to have a look at some other writers.
One of the Friends of Ros group on WhatsApp pointed out that today would have been her 66th birthday. She would have got her pension at last. I knew there was something about the 18th, but couldn't think what. One year I had arranged to go up to London for an early meal and a theatre show for her birthday. That morning it started to snow...and snow....and snow. In the end all the trains were cancelled. I think she found a last minute substitute. Miss her so.

Pip: Walking is a great way to help your hip get stronger. Bike shoes are another story for me. It has been a long time since we’ve ridden our terrratrykes and bike shoes have been gathering dust like crazy. The kind we bought are great for riding, but I wouldn’t want to use them for walking any distance. DH now uses a mobility scooter and is no longer able to pedal his tryke so both of them are just sitting in the garage. We could get a motor for his but his scooter is ready to go and more convenient. :ohwell:
Pip: 666666—I think that 666 is a reference to the bad guy who lives below the earth. I hope all is well with you.
Michele: Yesterday I bought a bag of Bob’s Brown Rice Flour at a local store and paid shelf price for it. It didn’t occur to me to try to find coupons. I talked DH into trying the change in flours because the white rice flour is so high in sugar. He’s been diabetic for over 50 years and the white rice flour gives him a sugar-like rush that leads to digestive problems. We’re hoping the brown rice four will be healthier for him. At the moment I have three sourdough crocks—my wheat flour sourdough that is an heirloom, and two versions of rice flour sourdough. I’m hoping the brown rice version will reduce or eliminate the sugar rush that white rice flour produces. I need to feed the brown rice flour crock so that I get enough to cook with and still have enough starter to grow more.
(((Karen in VA))): I love your photos of Bailey. What a little charmer! He was clearly a gift.
Irish Terri: I like your goals! :bigsmile:
Machka: Your sandals look wonderful!
Machka & Karen: We bought Orchid plants every spring for a several years but were never able to get them to bloom again. Orchids that are not in bloom are also not appealing so we stopped trying to grow them. :ohwell:
Heather: I hope you are able to recover all of the files that were on your old laptop. :flowerforyou: I’m still using my 2011 MacBookPro and will continue to use it as long as possible. I really like it and this size and style is no longer made. :ohwell:
(((Allie)))
Lanette: I was very interested in the bbc article on fresh cooked and cold pasta. I forwarded it to my DH. He’s been diabetic for ages and has also been put on a gluten free diet. In the summer I made some gluten free macaroni salad and it was not as wonderful as I would have wanted. I felt as though I needed to overcook the pasta or it got hard. I ended up trading pasta salad for potato salad. The results were more appealing to both of us. We also had gluten free pasta with spaghetti sauce. It was yummy when fresh. DH just found an article about how to reheat gluten free pasta and it seems to be very successful. :flowerforyou:
(((Janetr))) Prayers for your daughter.
Tracy: Your comments to Rita are wise and positive. I love the idea of a gratitude journal. My own challenge with depression is related to day length. I had a summer birthday and have read that those born in the summer months sometimes have depression problems in long dark days of winter. It was true for me. I now take Vitamin D3 every day. It has been a game changer and is very helpful. You are much father north. I wonder if it would help you as much as it does me. Exercise is also a game changer and the yoga classes I take are a big help year around, but especially in winter. We also have bright solar temperature lightbulbs everywhere in our house. They're on dimmers that allow us to make things brighter or less bright. :flowerforyou:
Rita: I’ve never tried to use almond or coconut flours for my sourdough, but it is worth an experiment. We are just beginning our experiment with brown rice flour. I’m confident that it will work well. Bob’s Redmill also sells Almond Flour, Cassava flour and coconut flour as well as hazelnut flour and quinoa flour. In your situation I would give it a try. Our local grocery stores have reasonably good supplies. If yours don’t carry what you need I’ll bet you could order it directly from Bob’s. Confession time—we only use our sourdough for waffles or pancakes. The last time I tried to bake sourdough bread it was as heavy as a large rock and VERY chewy.

I know me, if I change from my bike shoes to regular shoes or monkey feet, I will run. my usual run from my bike locker is only 1/2mi. I don't have regular pedals on my bike, I clip in. I am not a walker, I'm a runner.....3 -

Rebecca Yippee for texting with youngest!
Katla thanks! Found Community Action Team for Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook county http://www.cat-team.org/index.html what an awesome private non-profit agency! Housing solutions (“mission is to empower individuals and families to become self sufficient by living within their means in affordable, permanent housing”), including intensive case management for transitional, and for chronically homeless disabled… and respite for elder caregivers, options counseling. What an awesome array of services. Understand availability based on funding and the waiting lists are likely long, but these folk are making a real difference. Thanks!
Pip Good on you for taking care of yourself. We need that hip to heal, how else can you apply your boot when and where needed?
Michelle I hate it when IV insertions go badly. Try alternating ice and warmth as you would with any injury, the old vascular flush might relieve some of your pain.
Heather seems like that which we think should be simple, never is. As true for people challenges imho, as it is for tech challenges. I remember the Mods and Rockers riots, but didn’t realize they were in Brighton. What is a scraperboard set? How about a pic of your garden at sunset?
Lisa you’ve got some good lookin’ guys in your life!
KJ thanks for the “stop squatting before it happens to you” link. His emphasis on loading the hip joint and tips on how to fix your squat could have been written by Coach Ken.
Potty boot camp, sounds kinda like training Shadow to use the puppy pads at need. She was making progress when I scared the p!$$ out of her with the vacuum monster. Note to self, dogs outside before vacuuming. DOH!
Machka those squatting symptons sound very scary. Could something be cutting off circulation/pressing on nerve?
Lanette THANK you for the article on resistant starch. Love pasta and now I know to plan ahead, make it on day one, refrigerate, reheat and eat on day 2. Yippee!!! In moderation of course…
Janetr Sad to hear of the complications in your daughter’s situation. Prayers continue both for her and for you. Is there a “for families” support group near you? Might help to hear other parent’s stories, share yours.
NYKaren sending hopes for good news at hand dr appt. Something simple to ease with stretches and creams…
Tracey warmed up to -28? Made me laugh then wince in sympathy for you.
Allie, so very very sorry for your stress. Praying that when you return from Machu Picchu you will find just the right job for you.
Whoopsie! Way too much sitting, but I do so enjoy catching up with you dear ladies. A high point in my day.
Lighter, lovelies!

Hello one and all.
I have been trying to keep up with all of the goings on with everyone but have not had time to reply. Work has been absolutely exhausting. 2020 is off with a bang. Lots of late nights and rush requests. It's all good I would rather be busy because the days fly by, but oh, have I been burnt out.
Attended my first gleaning of the 2020 planting season! It's great to get out in nature and pick vegetables for the food banks in South Florida.
Background: Gleaning dates back to biblical times. Farmers would allow the needy to come in and pick fruits and vegetables left after the farmer picked the fields. Here in South Florida there is a large organization that works with the farms to schedule gleanings. Last year over 450,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables were picked which was distributed to food banks and soup kitchens in South Florida. Imagine all of that food would typically be ground back in to the earth prior to the next crop being planted. It's unbelievable how much food is wasted through the farm to table process.
It was absolutely a perfect day for gleaning. The temperatures were in the very low 70's with a nice breeze and partly sunny skies.
Picture of the fields we picked today. Note how the beds are raised - this helps keep down the root rot since South Florida is very wet. Also, where you see the sugar cane (the large fluffy grass-like plant) there are canals dug in so the farmers can water the crops.
The goal today was to fill 11 of the big blue containers. 11 of these containers will fill an extra-large box truck.
A beehive. I love bees and seem to have a good relationship with them. I leave them alone and they leave me alone.
Some of the peppers I picked. A 5-gallon bucket weights approximately 15 pounds. I picked 18 of them today breaking last year's record of 16. Yes, burned some calories today! And, it wasn't called exercise which most of you know I really do not like that word. Rather have "fun" so I am always looking for ways to incorporate activity.
Hugs to all and prayers to those in need. Will catch up!

Carol- You made my mistake I also only get 1200 cal one wrong meal or someone offers me something I think oh it’s small won’t hurt nothing add it later to not be rude (old person gift at church to MIL being nice) bam shock how is it that much calories noooooo only have a few left for supper I’m starving! I go over.
Sorry about your pup.At least it’s not in pain no more seen too many just let their pet linger for weeks miserable. Better to just let them go sometimes.
Lots of cute kids y grandkids lately see a few that need framed.
Soup 🍜 dieting a few days for my stomach condition. Still upset about $175 for the darn toothbrush in the potty.Even Daughter said that’s $175 Taco Bell tacos lol 😂 you wouldn’t have to cook for months lol. Gotta love a 20yr olds thinking.
Told hubby get me thin cheap cuts if steaks. He came back with Tbones beating his chest. Well if I cut it just right I can make my sandwiches y salads with it... hard when a man looks proud but didn’t listen. He wants the best for me I want to save money.
Amber Tx3 -
SuziQ-SFL: Your gleaning project is admirable. As a kid I picked strawberries on a platoon of kids about my age and beans with my mom. The goal was to have money to spend on school clothes. I hated the platoon but loved bean picking with mom. We were there early and left for home when it got too hot. It was a pleasant time with mom and a a great memory. Some farms allowed gleaners and others did not. Now I think most of the beans are on bush bean plants rather than bean vines and also suspect that most are picked by machine. I don't know if I'm right about either of those assumptions. There are farms on Sauvies Island that allow people to pick, and there are also farm stores that sell picked produce. Sauvies Island is between where I live and Portland. I don't know whether any of those farms offer gleaning. I never asked about it.

Anyone find any low calorie pasta? Mines 200cal just for pasta per serving just found a 20cal pasta but unsure how it tastes if it’s worth the money? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Palmini-Hearts-of-Palm-Linguine-12-Oz/639337743

Hi Amber. If I am trying to lower the calorie count for pasta I use spaghetti squash. Very low in calories and tastes great with sauce and/or garlic and oil.3 -

Machka, those sandals look like my Teva’s. I love them. I’ve had them for 5 years now. Getting a bit ragged around the edges so keeping my eye out for a sale.
RV Rita
Ps. Journey back to better mood almost complete!
They are Tevas.
Your REI is like our Anaconda (and Heather's Decathlon and Snowflake's MEC) ...
REI would be a good place to keep an eye on for sales.

I was making homemade spaghetti squash but with a 2yr old who acts up to get attention while I cook had to stop doing it. I do add broccoli y squash to my spaghetti but no time to use my zucchini pasta maker .
I did lower our pasta sauce calories by switching to Prego sauce. I thought I was being healthy by getting a veggie pasta but then looked when I got gone it was still 200cal same as the regular same company.They got me hook line y sinker!
Looking for some new low cal items to add to the menus. Was even think I got a pasta like the one I found with my regular to lower the calories but may be nasty combined lol. So hard to know.

Picking vegetables is hard work! I do not know how the pickers do it. Yes, they get acclimated but what it must do to their bodies over time. Since I am playing couch potato I figured I could multi-task and get caught up with everyone.
Rita – Hugs to you!
Heather – Glad you had a great time with your friend. Thank you for sharing the pictures of The Salt Room. I imagine it’s wonderful in the summer sitting outside. Laughed about your comment of being a plumber – I have often thought about being an electrician (much cleaner and less smell).
KJ – It’s wonderful your grands are learning multiple languages. Hopefully, they are able to be exposed to it throughout their lives so they do not forget. Sorry to hear about the “busy” parents – it’s a shame they are too busy to help their children through a rite of passage.
Karen – Hugs to you. It’s so difficult making fur mom decisions.
Lanette – I was practicing squats today while gleaning. Many cultures also reach down very differently than most, they do not curve their backs. Studies have shown less back issues. They bend forward with back perfectly straight using their arms to reach objects versus curving the back. I tried to practice, but it’s tough breaking a lifetime of a bad habit!
Yvonne – Love the “National Day” posts. I have been learning lots of tidbits. I think most of the border and high-immigrant States have had the Real ID licenses for quite some time. I have had the phase 1 and phase 2 versions.
Michele – Hope the results from your test is fine. I am hoping I can do the at-home test. Cheaper and much less prep!
Rebecca – Oh, those Athena pictures are precious. How you must love getting them. And, so happy your son contacted you.
Rori – I am glad you were able to get away for an evening. Sorry about DH’s confusion. My entire downstairs is painted yellow – it’s been that way for 10 years (refreshed of course). I love the cheeriness of the color. Bright and light.
Machka – My area is rated 24 which is no surprise. South FL is not a walker’s paradise. One of the reasons was lack of a grocery store – funny there is a full-service one less than a mile away. But everything else requires transport. I love my Tevas – I find decent prices at DSW for those of you in the States.
Katla – Your yoga posts keep reminding me I must get back to my yoga practice. Must stop shifting my schedule and get to it!
Tracey – You area of the world was mentioned on NPR. You can keep those temperatures. My blood is so thin living here in S FL I would probably start shaking and not stop, if I were to visit during those types of cold snaps.
Luci – I hope you enjoyed your weekend with the grands. Love the pictures.
NYKaren – Keep up the great work. It’s sad about your sister and the layoff. TG they are providing severance – most companies offer little to none. I am afraid I will be seeing the same thing happen within the next year or two because headquarters is “consolidating”. And, as we all know “business” has no emotions just profit margins.
Kylia – Prayers for your friend’s daughter. I hope you’re able to get the yeast under control. Does not sound pleasant at all. Congrats on the 10-year MFP anniversary.
Kim – I found ladies work gloves at HomeD that have a Velco strap at the wrist so they can be adjusted. Perfect for me as I do not like tight things around my wrists. For liners I use those manicure cotton gloves. I find them in the Dollar Store (sometimes) and also in the big box stores. May not be warm enough for you though.
Lisa – Interesting we both somewhat suffer in large social situations. I have been training myself not to get to weirded out and seriously how many times have we listened to someone else and thought WTH?! So, I am practicing to just go with the flow and not second guess myself after the fact. And, when was the last time someone asked you about something you said at different events and or has not spoken to you afterwards. I think it's human to question ourselves, but we need to keep it in check.
Karen – Love the Wonder Woman scissors! Although they may not be politically correct! LOL…..
Allie – Sorry about the loss of your friend. So young.
Carol – Big hug to you. Sorry about your fur baby.
Janetr – I am so sorry about your daughter and her issues. There really isn’t anything you can do – she has got to come to terms and make the decision to help herself. I know this does not make you feel better, but know you have tried to do as much as you can. Have you checked out Alnon? There may be others with the same experiences that may be able to provide support to you.
Debby – I love S FL winters but dislike the snowbirds. They do keep away a State tax so I welcome them, but avoid restaurants during this time of year. The fields were perfect this morning.
Orchids – Patience is a virtue. The growers force them and it can take years before they bloom again. But, once they do they continue on for many years. My oldest plant is 25 years old and it blooms more flowers every year. Since I live in the tropics I have found just throwing them outside and leaving them alone works best. I re-pot every 2-3 years after blooms. I have been attempting to grow inside and it has been a slow process, but I am getting there.
Camping – Love it. It does not matter if it’s tent or camper. Tents are fine as I always make sure I pick a site with electricity and “glamp” (camping in style). I have use an air mattress which is perfect.
My old tent – sold it as it was too big for just me. That’s dear Greg – it’s been two years and still miss him. He was a great camping partner.
Hugs to all and prayers to those in need.

Machka - I am not a doctor, nurse or any medical profession but you blacking out from squatting seems like a medical issue. Have you talked to your doctor about it? It sounds like a nerve or something is reacting.
Tracey in Edmonton
I kind of went off tent camping after living in the shack at the back of the farm after the 2009 Victorian Bushfires here in Australia.
The bushfires came through in February 2009 and my husband's house was destroyed as were about 2000 others in the area. The result was that there was nowhere to live. He was working on an orchard and his boss offered him a tent trailer which he lived in for a few months, then when I was preparing to move to Australia, his boss offered him the shack.
I moved there in June 2009 (middle of winter) and we lived there a year ... fireplace for heat and cooking, rainwater, generator electricity ... we were 2 km from "the grid" which was badly damaged anyway because of the bushfires.
Since then, I've been less keen on camping.
But I've been thinking what it was about camping that I really liked, because I have liked it in the past and do still occasionally enjoy it.
For me, I think it is a combination of things including:- getting away from home - when I'm home I feel like I need to do things.
- a slower pace - it's nice when the only things on the schedule are a leisurely breakfast, reading a book, and maybe a walk, bicycle ride or swim later.
- being in nature - my favourite spots have been well surrounded by nature. I do not like busy campgrounds where everyone is piled up on each other.
So we have found some of this when we travel to northern Tassie and stay on a farm up there in an old cabin.
I suspect a nerve issue too. I've had all sorts of issues with my legs over the years and I'm working on mitigating some of the problems now.
However, my quads are still reasonably strong from cycling, running, walking, and climbing stairs.

Tracey, yep me too! He might've gotten more wrath from his Chief, than from me. They take keeping up contact with family very seriously.

@Machka9 - I so miss the nature associated with camping and also sitting around the campfire. I like the breakfast cooked over an open flame too as long as someone else is cooking.

Yes I love my Athena pics too. She's my ray of sunshine in this grey Washington weather.
Hugs ladies!

Trying not to feel too pleased here because I know how my weight bobs up and down, but ...
I've dropped 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs) since my peak weight over Christmas.

Carol ... so sorry you had to say goodbye to your fur baby
SuziQ ... that's a lot of missed produce! We have a lot of farms in the area, but don't know if they allow gleaning.
Karen NY ... hoping your hand pain can be easily solved!
I have a bag of almond flour and a bag of millet flour (??) ... have no idea why I have either of them and now need to figure out what to do with them. I don't want to make things that require more special ingredients like xanthan gum. I also have a partial bag of Arthurs cup for cup gluten free flour. This I used to make baked goods for a friend who is gluten free. They were ok, but I wasn't impressed with the texture.
Getting a lot of winter weather this weekend so spent the day decluttering my desk/files and getting ready for taxes. Ahead of my decluttering monthly chart (which is how I found these odd flours). DrKatieBug ... once again I have cleaned my kitchen drawers!

Amber – For pasta I found that I like Shirataki noodles. You can usually find them where you find the wonton wrappers. There is something else called (I think) Skinny Pasta. I went to look at my diary, and I know that I logged, but it didn’t show up. The main difference between the shirataki noodles and the Skinny Pasta is that the Skinny Pasta doesn’t need to be refrigerated. Now it does have a different texture than pasta. Something you need to get used to. At first I didn’t like it, now I prefer to have shirataki noodles to pasta. SuziQ had a great suggestion…use spaghetti squash. The sauce sticks to it

DH has to avoid gluten. We have been using many products that are new to us. Wheat is not okay for DH, so we use white rice flour, brown rice flour, corn flour and Bob’s Redmill gluten free baking flour. It is more fun if we call it an adventure instead of pain in the neck. We’re learning. 😳4
