Laundry
What the hey, no clean undies, no clean bras
I just did laundry the day before yester
My peaceful morning is beginning to fester
I wash the paltry load never questioning its size
then I open the dryer and much to my surprise
bras plenty so I don a fresh one and hide my ta tas

Forgetful or maybe being mostly deaf I didn't hear the buzzer.
Calling Jimmy today to see if Margaritaville has any openings.
I may be ready for tequila assisted living.1 -
Kylia- sounds quite a bit like Keto..
There are pros and cons to it all.. i have to say i feel like a bloated whale right now ,but when i did Keto felt great2 -
My first week back in the office has come to an end and the weekend has begun. First thing I did was lie down on the sofa to close my eyes and rest them ... and I fell asleep till dinner.
Now I'm sorting out what I need to do this weekend while drinking chamomile tea in comfy clothes and big fuzzy slippers.

It's 12C right now, which is quite warm but we're experiencing something called a "heat driven snow" or something like that.
It will get down to about 6C overnight, up to about 17C tomorrow, and by Monday/Tuesday it will get quite chilly. They're predicting snow down to sea level!

Faye's twist on Jimmy's tune this hot summer day
Nibblin' on rice cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of my flowers shaded with foil
Strummin' my six string
On my back patio swing
Smelling my bra it's beginning to soil
Wastin' away again in Faettaville
Searchin' for my lost Epson salt
Some people claim that there's an old man to blame
But I know, it's never my fault
I have no clue or good reason
Why I been here 45 years all season
Nothing to show but this brand new bruise
But it's a real beauty
A black and blue cutie
How it got here, I have no clues
Wastin' away again in Faettaville
Searchin' for my lost Epson salt
Some people claim that there's an old man to blame
Now I think, hell, it could be my fault
I wore out my walk sandals
Trying to rid my love handles
Sprain my ankle had to limp on back home
But there's ice in the freezer
And the swelling it will please her
That bag of ice that cools to the bone
Wastin' away again in Faettaville
Searching for my lost Epson salt
Some people claim that there's an old man to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault
Yes, I frequently claim
That there's an old man to blame
But everyone knows, it's old Faye's fault

Enjoying your 'songs' Faye.
Just had half an hour of frantic searching for the boules set. We both swore it was in the garage, no. Every cupboard in the house, no. The attic, no. DH said he had looked in the shed. I said, let's look again. There they were. I saw them straight away. They are a proper set that I bought in France when my kids were young. Haven't played with them for many years, but thought we should keep them.
Parasol out, table out, chairs out. It is HOT.

Morning all! Late start so quick greetings!
Margaret- So sorry to hear of your son's passing. Sending thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort to you and your family. ((((
))))
Faye- Sing it girl!
Machka- You must have needed the rest! Your fire, coffee, and warm clothes look wonderful to me. I love winter.
Pip- Wowwowwow! Congrats on all of it! Your retirement! Kirby's retirement! Sale of the house! The haircut! Good things!
Heather- Enjoy the grands!
Michele- I am not sure what PJ has, or what Denise wants him to have; but I got Joaquin an art easel for his 2nd birthday and some art supplies.

We went to the bank yesterday to close out the account for a group that is closing. We had to make an appointment, call when we got there, wait in the car until the banker came out to get us, then transact business from a table set up a few feet away from his desk. There was Plexiglas at the front of his desk. We've worked with this banker before so it was a pleasant time, but so strange compared to the past. I guess life will continue to deal us many more new adventures like this one.Allie, Why don't you get yourself a pile of good books so you can read when you wake up at the wrong time? Or if books don't appeal, how about podcasts or audio books to listen to? That's what I do and it makes the wakeful time feel like a treat. We had takeout Chinese food yesterday thanks to the generous gift certificate from my line dance class for my birthday. I had my usual broccoli with garlic sauce---enough for lunch and supper but lots of sodium so my weight was elevated this morning. There is still enough left of the gift certificate for almost another whole meal. We give them a generous tip each time. Barbie in NW WA 3 -

Walked on the stairclimber today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Yoga Cross Train DVD
Made yogurt in the IP and when it was done, it wasn’t yogurt but still milk. Maybe I needed more starter? So I put more in and put the IP on again. Yup, that must have been it. I just got up and am now draining it.
Tami – hey there. You made the right decision in coming here. Stop in often and get lots of good ideas
Pip – I remember once FIL said “now that I’m retired, I don’t know where I found the time to work” At the time I thought “yea, sure”. Now I know what he meant! You and Kirby are embarking on a wonderful journey.
Made a gazpacho that I’ll have for breakfast. Not sure how I feel about it. Does anyone have any good recipes? Preferably one that you put in a blender. And not high in calories (maybe somewhere around 100). I’d like it to make about 6 or less servings since I’m the only one who will eat it.
Got the herb rub on the pork chops I want Vince to grill tomorrow. Will probably get the chicken ready to marinate so it can be grilled tomorrow. Soup kitchen! Then I’ll get the salmon cakes ready and probably make the pops (I have to buy another can of salmon, didn't realize this when I went to the store the other day).
]Kylia[/b] – sounds like keto to me. From what I understand, this works but it’s not a lifestyle change
Faye – don’t stop writing. Love it. I have a friend from high school who every day writes a poem on Facebook. I always look forward to reading his poem

DB
I highly suspect that DB Cooper was a near neighbor
living poorly slowly spending the fruits of his labor
I once walked by when he was out in his yard
His bushy-bearded face looked weathered and hard
I said good morning and leaned forward to pick up a quarter
His eyes rested on my boobs, for a moment they did loiter
I saw those eyes, they looked like the ones in the paper
They had the set, the color, the shape, and the taper
He moved shortly after and my career playing private eye
was halted abruptly, but I won't stop searching until I die
I still walk the river banks, dreaming, searching for the cash
Old DB is real and I must find his mysterious hidden stash
I should have been more discreet with my female way
of seeing his eyes, something still in my mind to this very day
I bet he saw me drop that disc engraved with Washington, George
and went back and moved his stash hidden in the Columbia Gorge
Zek says I am delusional and it wasn't Cooper at least not DB
and I am a silly old broad that thinks I am Nancy Drew, hee hee
He laughs at my repeated, unyielding, insistence that I saw DB eyes
He says I watched too many movies about bikini women spies
Well, I told old Zek he is just a jealous cantankerous old fart
I saw Cooper, the DB's eyes, I know it and I feel it in my heart
My dear friends, someday this old lady will find that big green stash
So watch this thread, because I will need help spending all that cash1 -
Kylia- That sounds like a Keto diet to me as well. I personally haven't tried it, but I have a friend that tried it with her husband. It worked while they did it extremely well, but their doctor put a stop to it because of heart disease in their families. I personally wouldn't try it because I couldn't restrict myself that much.
Machka - Your picture looks so peaceful! I hope you have a peaceful, restful weekend.
We are having a barbecue at work today for the social club, I am working late tonight to cook for the evening shift. Tomorrow we are going to Kaitlyn's so she can cut Rodger's hair since he was called back to work and starts on Tuesday. It will be good for him to get back to work even for a couple of months.

As we see July draw to a close, I'm pretty pleased... Going out lighter than I came in, and while only a pound lighter than I was June 30, but it's better than a pound heavier. Also survived the cootie parade and stuck to our budget for the month. There. July is done and dusted.
Might pop back in, but most likely just to read, so I'll see y'all in the August thread (holy crap, it's August tomorrow!).
Love,
Lisa2 -
It is August tomorrow this thread will have a fresh new look
So excited to read and see photos about all you ladies adventures
Definitely more interesting than my poems and my dentures
I was just trying to be a poet sometimes with a meter of rap
and it all comes out silly willy juvenile nonsensical crap
I highly suspect Faye needs to take a timeout in the nook

Pip: The bew adventure is beginning! Please stay in touch & have a great trip.
Amber: Good to see your post!
Allie: I hope you get needed rest.
Heather: You are so lucky to be near your grandchildren. I envy your proximity to them.
Kylia: I agree that semi starvation is not healthy.
Machka: Peter Rabbit’s mom recommends Chamomile Tea. It is an excellent choice.
Delia Faye: I’m a Jimmy Buffet fan, too.
Having trouble with MFP today . I don’t know why.

So, how many calories is "standing in kitchen, prep food, washing pots, 4 hours"?? My feet feel like a shift on a full ward when I was 25 30 yrs ago...1

Today os National Get Gnarly Day!
Chosen because the ridiculous name made me laugh! "The last Friday in July provides an opportunity to embrace new ideas and toss out old ways on National Get Gnarly Day. The word 'Gnarly' gets a bad rap. It can mean 'bad' or 'dangerous' but can also be exciting. Surfers often use the term to describe the waves they tackle. Much like surfers challenging the waves, Get Gnarly Day challenges us to put some gnarliness into everything we do."
margaretturk - Deepest condolences on the loss of your son. May you find comfort and peace.
Tami - I did Noom for awhile and came away with a couple of good new habits. I'm glad I did the introductory offer (I think it was six weeks). Overall, though, I already knew what I needed to do and just needed motivation to do it. Did not need a "coach" bugging me all the time about how I was doing.
Faye - Your filk of "Margaritaville" was delightful!
Katla - I agree with you and Peter Rabbit's mom! Chamomile tea always makes me feel better.
And now, I'm off to the water garden shop to see if they can help me with the algae in our small pond. Maybe I'll get some new plants since a trio of black vultures camped out on top of the pond and trampled the one water plant we had in there. Philip has a client coming this evening so I'll help him clean his studio and bathroom, then he's doing a "Halloween in July" set for our streaming radio station. Good thing I've got dinner in the slow cooker because it sounds like this afternoon and evening will be busy!
Happy Friday to you all. Do something gnarly today! (I think sticking my hands in that algae-filled pond will be gnarly enough for me...)

Since you all helped me with my "craft" project last time, I thought I'd ask another question of you. I have a dress of 100% polyester. It's a nice dress for the very rare occasion I have a work event and it's a timeless cut, so never goes out of style. I'd like to keep it, but it has those fuzzy things on the backside right where I sit. I know there are "sweater shaver" devices for such things, but I don't want to buy one just for this one thing. Any idea how to get rid of those little "pills?" Photo:
We planned a short getaway to a lake for the middle of August. It's the furthest our friend with the boat is allowed to go. He works for the federal government and is limited to travel to 400 miles from his workplace. So, we're headed to a lake in the hot desert. We rented a private home and will keep to ourselves. It should be a nice quick trip away.
We planned another trip for the end of the August to a cabin in our mountains nearby. We stayed there in 2008 and at that time, we were off the grid. I think it's been updated since, but we had the best time sitting on the porch watching the wild turkeys and deer pass through and watch the deer eat the food out of the bird feeders. It's amazing how much time one can pass just watching wildlife.
I'm also hoping my injuries have healed enough that we can go on a couple of easy hikes.In addition to whipping out a tissue in the middle of a shop, I've also found that a sudden coughing fit works well to encourage people to socially distance! One of the "features" of my kind of surgery is that a sinus will suddenly let go and drop "goo" into my nose and throat causing my nose to run and me to cough. But it has been quite effective. One little coughing fit and no one comes near me!

Yes, I have the post-nasal drip issue with allergies. This was bad at the very early stages of coronavirus and when I went outside to walk around the neighborhood, I'd start coughing and I got some nasty looks. I knew what it was and it what it wasn't. But they were sure to stay on the other side of the street. I've since figured out how to stop that drip and it's a wonderful thing.

Please post what you find out about the algae in your pond. My parents were just talking about that yesterday when we were up to visit them.
