I think it has been MFP doing updates. I have been having issues the past 2-3 days too. It seems like everything is OK now.0 -
Look who I came across when getting the mail this morning.

Phew!
All the furniture etc moved out of the two rooms apart from the two sofas and the dining table that they are doing. My son managed to carry the intermediate stuff upstairs in half an hour and get the curtains down.
I feel much better now.
Ready for dinner!
We went for a walk to the sea and treated ourselves to an ice cream from Marroccos. DH had mango and I had my usual chocolate. The sea was oily calm.
We have alternative TVs to watch tonight. Early to bed.
Speak tomorrow my friends.

SuziQ: I love the bird photo. You evidently have beautiful neighbors.
Lisa: I expect to get old. Maybe past 100 if I don’t get any serious illness or injury.
Heather: I’m happy your son was able to help move furniture.
I just got home from a dentist appointment. This was a new dentist who has been added to the staff. I liked her and will likely see her again as my dentist. The regular dentist has health problems and is staying at the coast, away from the smoky air. There is a definite haze this morning.

Well my longevity test said that I will be around until I'm 88. Now if I walk for 30 minutes 4 days a week, and lose 40 lbs I can add on 8 years to be 96! Is that motivation or what??

Yes I knew you aunties would love that Athena pic. My son is becoming quite the photographer!3 -
Wishing I had Myrna's eyes!

Sue: So sorry the smoke was/is causing you to cough. I hope it is easing and you’re able to breathe more easily.
Tracey: How old will your grandson be on his birthday? My secret to gift buying success is simple. I call my daughter and ask for a few suggestions.
What does his mom say that he’d like? :huh:
Machka: Curly hair is a surprising outcome from hot-flashes.
I hope you have an easy transition. :flowerforyou:
Pip: Do you have pictures of the model of trailer you’re planning on getting? I’d l love to see the layout.
My horse friends are getting ready to foster horses that have lost their homes in the fires here in Oregon. They are talking about using he stables at the county fairgrounds, as well as placement of some horses on their own personal properties. I don’t have any real details. They’re just beginning to organize. These people are doers, and I suspect things will get going quickly. I'll help if I can.

Michele--I took our tapes to Walgreens and had them put on Dvd's. They put them on as I wanted. Sure saved a lot of time and stress from trying to do it ourselves.
Yvonne--I know the med is gentric for Zocar. I am just so Thankful the hives are gone at this point.
Rita--I think you did a very good job, they look ready for the holidays.
Pip--That camper looks fun. We are talking about getting one that we can put the motorcycle in.
Blessings, Vicki GI NE

Today is Blame It on the Large Hadron Collider Day!
For the science nerds among us: "Blame It on the Large Hadron Collider Day was created in 2008 to shift blame for losing things from the people who actually lost them, to the Large Hadron Collider. 'The Large Hadron Collider probably has your car keys, your missing socks, and your rent money, perhaps sucked into a black hole,' one source notes. The day takes place on the anniversary of the date that the Large Hadron Collider was first fired up in 2008. The Large Hadron Collider is the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Located just outside of Geneva, Switzerland, on the border with France, it was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). ... So why would the LHC be given blame? Perhaps it is because of its size — there is a lot of room for things to get lost in a machine that is 18 miles in circumference."
bananasandoranges - So sorry about the Morton's neuroma! I had that years ago and it made getting around painful for a long time. A few months of wearing nothing but Birkenstocks finally got rid of it. I even bought Birkenstock insoles for my hiking boots and crosscountry ski boots, and I had to curtail my barefoot tendencies around the house until it got better. Crossing my fingers for your teaching job!
SuziQ - Your orchid is beautiful!
Vicki - A toy hauler RV would be fun. Philip and I have talked about an extended RV trip once retire but we have not yet addressed the logistics of what it would take to do it. We don't need a big RV but we might want a fifth-wheel and a bigger truck if we were going to be living in it full-time, plus some way to accommodate the motorcycles. I'm a member of the Motor Maids and we have members in their 90s who still ride, so I'm going to assume we'll want to keep riding too unless one of us begins to feel like we can't do it safely.
I am going to blame my lost motivation on the Large Hadron Collider from now on.
Luna and I just got back from a walk to the auto body shop to pick up our Tacoma. The grand total for our parking lot hit-and-run was $2300! All I can is is, thank goodness we had comprehensive and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
The walk was a real treat because it is FINALLY tolerable outside. After all the rain this week, my phone currently says it's 64 degrees outside.
Sending healthy vibes to everybody struggling with health issues right now.

I got to ride a horse today. My stable is back up and running after Covid and then tornado damage. Most of their buildings lost roofing, but the indoor riding ring only has a leak. We did a very gentle lesson, but at least I'm back in the saddle.

Faye is having problems accessing Community pages. She was going for her procedure today. Haven’t heard how it went yet.2

Thank you for the positive thoughts about my friend!Yesterday evening before being put on the ventilator, she called her friends and family (with her husband sobbing beside her). She called me as well via FaceTime to say "goodbye." And I gave her hell. Told her she was to stop her nonsense and get on with the business of fighting to live. I would see her soon and not on the other side. Barely breathing, she gave it right back to me! This evening I can report that she is off the ventilator, weak but joking when she's allowed to speak. I can hardly wait to see her again and tell her "I told you so!"
Come to find out, she does not have any infection in her lungs. The fluid is a result of an auto-immune problem (a form of scleroderma) becoming over active. Her heart was stressed as result. She has problems, but she is not dying today.5 -

I’m thinking if renovating my hobbies room. I want to move all my various stashes to the same room.
DH is sympathetic, so I am mocking up a plan, and a wish list for what I want. It will give him a new project to work on, and keep him occupied. He has already run through most of his list of the tasks that he earmarked to do during Covid lockdown. He’s an excellent carpenter, so will make a great job of my plans.
Positive, healthy thoughts to any of you with health issues. 💕💖💕

Beth - so happy to read the update on your friend.
Pip - I have a friend that goes camping by herself in extremely remote areas. I shared the link of your camper to her. She asked if it was bear proof. 😂 Currently she sleeps in a tent on the back of her truck so I’m not sure why she is concerned.
Allie - I hope Jean finds 24/7 care for Faith now that she has quit her job. I dare say she won’t be home more.
Suzi - I feel the same this week, short weeks almost seem not worth it sometimes.
Well it’s Thursday and I’m beat. I have to run to the drugstore but then I think I’ll come home have a bath and then find a show to watch. I would go to sleep but I know that wouldn’t help me sleep all night.

Show her the video, of course it’s not bear proof1 -
Allie-. Hard to believe it’s been 3 years. I think of her often and wonder how the boys are. And her little dog.

Did Jari Love’s Get Ripped and Chiseled DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a 10MS Carb Burner DVD.
I didn’t realize it, but I was scheduled to work today. A guy from Food Lion called me. What happened is that we get an email saying that the schedule had been posted. I didn’t get the email until today. Evidently, the schedule is posted on their site on Wednesday but the email doesn’t come out until Thursday. Why, I have no idea. So now I know that I should check for the schedule every Wed. night.
Afterwards, I went to Aldi then WalMart. Soup kitchen tomorrow! Hopefully, Vince will hold to his promise that we can dig out around the drain in the front yard in preparation for putting down rocks to aid with drainage. I have been saying for months that we need to get that done before the guy puts in the front lawn
Tracey – Vince did get all the pictures hung up (finally!) If he hadn’t done it, I would have. Actually, one of the plaques I would have liked lower, but I’m not going to say anything. Happy early birthday! How I wish we could teleport, too
Rebecca – lovely picture.
My sourdough starter FINALLY came. Vince said to me last night “it’s out for delivery” so it should be here tomorrow. My response was “I’ll believe it when I see it” When I got home from work, it was here! Speaking of the starter – katla, how big is your crock?
I’ll live to be 98 with about 5-6 unhealthy years
SuziQ – I agree that nagging doesn’t produce results. I just get so frustrated and tell you gals. I try not to let Vince know my frustration. Why not hire a neighborhood teen? That would be great EXCEPT that I know that Vince’s OCD would kick in. He likes to do things himself, only on his time which isn’t the greatest. Sorry that you don’t have any major health issues??? I’d be thrilled.
AnneDE – how wonderful that you got to ride!
Terri – thanks for the update about Faye
Beth – that’s wonderful news about your friend
Just finished the zoom board meeting for the condo. All I can say is…”some people”.

Beth-good news about your friend. And I think you telling her it was not goodbye was just right.
Pip-different looking rv. I've never been much on camping, etc., but have friends who love it. I think it is great you and Kirby are pursuing the things you enjoy in retirement.
I am also finding the short work week to be painful. Had been thinking of taking tomorrow off but realized I have a statewide Director's meeting in the morning (via Zoom) and a 1 pm meeting on state and federal budget out look. Will leave for the gym after that. It was closed on Monday and Wednesday I had an afternoon meeting.
Oh-and husbands procrastinating-my husband excelled in this. He has been gone 5 years and I have almost finished his list!
Those in the fire areas-stay vigilant!
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio4 -
