    Sharon and Rebecca Do you have only cloth-upholstered furniture? I was looking around my house thinking about what it would be like to be a nudist, and all those wood and leather sitting surfaces gave me goose bumps. It would be like sitting on a cold toilet seat every time. Please enlighten.

    I picture sitting on a towel so personal bits aren’t on the furniture?

    TIna, my comments were meant to address chronic pain where a diagnosis has been made. For those patients, there should be a pain management plan in place that addresses weekends, etc., and keeps chronic pain patients out of ERs. ERs should be reserved for emergencies and urgent issues. Your mister doesn't have a diagnosis. That's very different. Without a diagnosis and plan, no one is at the helm in managing or even understanding his pain.

    Chronic pain is life-sucking. It can take all the joy out of life.

    I am all for CBD products, and in states where THC is legal, it can be the difference between a decent quality of life and sheer misery. Creams may not deliver a high enough "dose" for more severe pain. It's really important to get a diagnosis and a plan, and I hope you are able to find the right specialist to pin it down for you.

    Well, he won't go to Urgent Care anyway. Thinks it'll be a huge waste of time. I can't drag him. Thanks for your comments. They are very insightful.

    Well when we lived in California, and I was sans clothed, a beach towel was used on any surface you sat on. Same with at the restaurant at the nudist resort. Putting a towel down, and a napkin on lap. If course 99% of an food drops landed on my chest. 😂😂😂

    David Sedaris wrote a funny book about his time in a nudist resort. I laughed out loud, hard, at several points. It was aptly called "Naked."

    Did a Michelle Dozios Peak 10 More Cardio Interval Burn DVD. I don’t think I’ll keep this one. It’s mostly kickboxing and I’m just not a kickboxing fan. Not for the whole DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Bob Harper Totally Ripped to the Core Workout.

    Plan to make more yogurt, then use that for making pops. Want to make a spinach feta pie (haven’t had that in a while) and the icing for the cupcakes. Have the milk cooling for the yogurt right now. Update: everything done, yogurt in IP right now.

    Penny – I never thought of the dust! But wouldn’t a mask eliminate it?

    Anne DE – what’s the story in DE regarding opening? I would think they’d be more cautious than GA because of its close proximity to NY and NJ

    Sue in WA – AWWWW

    Rebecca – what a site in my mind!

    Hi Gals,

    The snake I was holding was a gopher snake, it eats small rodents mostly. A great thing to have in a garden.

    Katla – My mom is 45 minutes each way and 2 counties away (it is against the rules here to cross county lines unless you are caring for an at risk individual)

    Michele – IPF is a lung condition if I googled it correctly – he should be in full quarantine Covid19 could kill him. Also the ceramic dust would probably be hard on his lungs.

    Thinking of everyone.

    Kim from N. California

    Another glorious day here in SFL. The cool front is still with us and I am relieved to have some dryer air. It is way too early for 80% humidity (this is without it raining). The past two mornings when I was sitting outside easing in to the day I could feel the sweat building up. This was with no movement – just sitting.

    Katla – The pumpkin bran muffins are delicious. I froze half of the batch to enjoy sometime in the near future. Was glad to read the puppies toe injury is not serious.

    Tina – Sending positive thoughts to DH. Quite honestly if my primary would not schedule me in knowing my situation I would be looking for another primary. If happy with primary it may be time to seek out a specialist.

    Peanut butter – Interestingly enough it is not something missing from the shelves here. I did buy some when the news started mentioning shelter in place because it is a good protein food. It was also on buy one, get one here and is good to have on hand for hurricane season which is right around the corner.

    Machka – I love Cosmos. They are one of my favorites. Trash here is picked up twice a week, bulk trash once a week, and recyclables once a week. I do live in a very developed area. This schedule is the standard in SFL. I will say it is probably due to the heat. I can take my trash out to the can and it can stink up a storm by the end of the day. Only 100 emails. If I am out a week and do not check email the entire time I am out of the office I would start with over 1,000 emails. I do not have to respond to all, but must read all of them to get up-to-date.

    Food processor – My knives!

    Pip – Sorry to hear about the Airstream. What a PITA!

    Michelle – Jess and Colby are grown up. When I initially read your stories I thought both were late teens, early 20s! When I asked for Jess’ age I was taken back. I think you have tipped toed enough with her. I think the next time around you should speak your mind and set the expectations you expect (not hope for). It would probably help if both you and Vince have the conversation with her/them at the same time. It seems to me both Jess and Colby are playing the go ask mom, then go ask dad game we all played when we were 13. I will say I think the social experiment with that particular generation where everyone got a trophy for participation, even if participation meant sitting on one’s butt, did more damage than the good it was meant to do.

    Heather – The brownie recipe looks delicious. I will not be making them any time soon. I would not be able to control myself!

    Barbie – I would never have identified you as shallow!

    Karen – Love the views from your windows!

    Lanette – I also need a dust buster. It is especially helpful for cleaning around the cat’s litter box. I had an off brand that died after 20 years. I am still researching vacuums – I am leaning towards the Shark, but must see in person. Everyone raves over the Dyson until they die which is typically between 3-5 years. My Bissell lasted almost 30 and I would hate to spend the money on a Dyson, if it died 3 years later – I would be cursing.

    Sue – Oh, I love the little kitty faces!

    Kim – Love the picture of you with the snake. Yes, a keeper for the garden.

    Kylia – Sending positive thoughts and prayers for dear MIL.

    Hugs to all and prayers for those in need.
    SuziQ – SFL

    hmm, need to meditate on this one awhile. Easy to find the strengths in those I love, those that annoy me not so much.

    Happy 50th anniversary of Earth Day all!

    Kay thanks for mentioning the 400 steps several times a day. That’s just one line dance. I can do that.
    Viv I couldn’t get the sound to work on my laptop for Zoom, turned out my laptop has speakers but no microphone. I have to zoom with my iphone for people to hear me ;)
    Lanette I :love: my Dyson v7 ultimate cordless stick vac . I pull it out frequently for little jobs, and it converts easily from floor to dust buster style for furniture, car etc. At $350 the “ultimate” model is way more spendy than any dust buster but with auto registration you get every attachment imaginable. The battery has lasted 40 minutes on regular (not max) suction, and it’s way quieter than any other vacuum we’ve ever had. It picks up spruce needles and long doublecoated dog hair beautifully. https://www.dyson.com/sticks/dyson-v7-overview.html
    Renaissance women :lol:
    Pip You’re quite a looker too! The two of you make a hot couple!
    Machka a year with that doorless toilet? You are made of stern stuff!
    Heather :love: the masked and gloved stone dog!
    Rita is there magic in the water to grow that celery? Do you keep it outside or in the fridge?
    Rebecca :love: Athena Rose and her mom sitting in the playpen.
    Amber likewise :love: JR and the bubble.
    Sue in WA Likewise :love: Rinn and Oskar.
    Karen in VA keep those “View from my window” pics coming. They lift the heart!
    Tracey :brokenheart: for the Nova Scotia news.
    Welcome @ShredWeek1! Jump in the water’s fine!
    Kylia :cry: :heartbreak::cry: :
    Betsy Is Ella a cat or a terrier?
    Penny :love: that WOW midnight sunset/sunrise.
    SuziQ If my $350 Dyson lasts 3 years it will have outlasted my $200 Bissell by a year. Chalk it up to inflation. We won’t even talk about the $400 Roomba back in Idaho. So far I really love the Dyson, and am glad I bought the oldest least expensive version, but the model with the most goodies.
    Oh and Barbie you had a saying about apples and being hungry, would you repost? I’m going to apples more often lately, with gratitude.

    Today I have to go into town to pick up rx and take Tumble to the groomer. Surprised she is open when people salons are closed, but grateful, Tumble needs a bath and nail trim. Would normally hit the Farmers’ Market and Grocery Outlet but am holding it down to just Freddie’s and the Post Office. First time into town in a week.

    Lighter, lovelies!
