    Carol, I got two emails today, supposedly from Amazon, saying that the refund I requested had failed to process because of an error in my card info. Well, too bad scammers, I haven't ordered from Amazon, so of course there is no refund! Slimy little weasels are out there!
    Tracey, the dog's stocking looks amazing! lol I would be rolling my eyes at myself for making a pet stocking too!
    Lisa, so glad you are starting to feel like your old self. Wise move re: Thanksgiving cooking! Playing with the grands sounds like way more fun than sweating over food prep!
    Allie, I sure hope the dr can figure out what's going on with you. Happy to hear that the tick had not imbedded itself yet so that you were able to get rid of it easily!
    Vicki, yay for no hives for a month! So sorry to hear about your SIL, so young.....
    The weather here has taken an abrupt turn to chilly and there is talk of snow. As we are so close to the ocean, we don't always get snow, but every now and then it does happen. Unfortunately, because we don't get it often, our city is very unprepared, individually and municipally. By that I mean that the city doesn't have a lot of snow moving equipment and people often don't have adequate tires. I will be taking care of the tire situation for us next Monday. We didn't bother with snow tires last year, and only got into trouble once, but it was a royal pain in the "you know" and so we decided this year to bite the (expensive!) bullet this year and deal with it. Hubby went online and found some at a local store, he said they weren't the cheapest, but he didn't recognize the name of the cheaper ones, so went with Dunlop as they do have a good reputation. When I phoned to make the appointment, the guy said they were a good choice. I suppose there is a chance he says that to everyone, but I felt comforted. lol (it's the little things!)
    I have a core strength class this morning at the Y. They have asked us to wear a mask while in the common areas, but we are able to take the masks off while in the class. The instructor has mild COPD and there are taped X's on the floor and we have to make sure we are on the X. She puts mats out and has everyone spaced out well. We have to pre register for the class on a phone app, so she always knows how many to expect. I feel safe in there, but our numbers here on the island are still fairly low.
    Totally different subject. I play a few games online, one is a word game based on Scrabble. It's called Word Chums. You play in real time against a real person. There is an option to play against the computer (which I prefer) but you have to "buy" tickets to do that. In order to pay for these tickets you can, of course, use a credit card or you can earn "coins" by playing against real people. I have, somewhat reluctantly, started playing against real people. Most of the ones I have played against are pretty good, I've been up front with them about why I'm choosing this option (there is a "chat" button) and so most don't bother chatting too much. I have played several games against the same people and there is no chat, just play. A few days ago, I started playing against someone, still not sure if they are male or female (name is Bucky so I'm guessing male, but don't want to presume) and this person was very inquisitive. My answers were very general ie I live on the west coast of Canada. It's a fairly large area so I feel comfortable saying that. Anyway, yesterday I was asked if I used "hagout", I thought about it for a bit, then realized they probably meant "Hangout", but I asked "am I on what?". Sure enough, it's hangout, which I don't use and told this person that I had no interest in it. They ended the game and said something along the lines of "your choice". You better believe it's my choice! I was not sad that they ended the game! I'm not worried as while my first name is on there, my last name is not and my profile picture is of a cat. And I really did not give out much info. I don't have a problem giving out more info here for several reasons. The major one is that I am not on here in a one-to-one situation. I've also been here for a while, so am quite comfortable letting you ladies know more specifically where I live. I'm still not going to be posting my address or phone number or anything like that, but......well, I'm sure you get it!
    Anyway, my apologies for the novel. Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

    Bless him, my husband (who works for a landscaping company) just snagged me a half dozen white roses in pots. They were throwing away a few dozen, but he figured six was enough for now. They throw away whatever's not been used during the season, so we can get more next year if we like. The pink ones he dragged home earlier are blooming like mad still here in mid-November, and there are now a half dozen of those, as well. Will post a picture later.

    Disassembled my old sewing cabinet this morning, and used the jigsaw to detach the three drawers to have more storage. The rest will go out to burn, and I've kept all the usable hardware. Busy morning. :)

    Allie     - they definitely need to find out what's going on with you~

    Vicki - Good to see you!

    Off to get my test done.

    Later, y'all,
    Love, Lisa

    Allie: Great news that you don’t have CoVid. I hope you don’t have pneumonia, either. In our area the flu is going around and some people have been hit hard. There is a flu vaccine available and DH & I have both had ours. I hope you’re feeling better ASAP. It sounds as though you need some medical support. In your situation I’d would contact the doctor’s office for advice & support. :heart:

    Lisa: You did a great job picking out a good husband. Roses are a lovely and thoughtful gift. :flowerforyou:


    I am thinking about contacting family members for a friendly hello. We’ve heard from our son & DDIL recently, and I’m hoping all is still going well for our daughter. She lives a small community that seems to have been recently suffering from CoVid. I hope that DD & her family are healthy & happy. I just heard from DSIL! YAY!.

    My friend Gwendolen was obviously feeling a bit lonely today and wanted a phone chat. I was happy to oblige. She annoyed me by banging around in the kitchen while we were talking, so I told her to sit down. She seems unable to just sit.
    She is also trying to arrange an extra Zoom with my old school friends for tomorrow, but I'm not keen. Fortunately I am expecting a doctor phone call, so I have made my excuses. I could drop in at the end, and may do so, but I don't want to do the whole thing. I feel sorry for her living alone, but my days are full.
    This afternoon I went running with DH. The seafront is very busy during lockdown. I have been having trouble with a pain in my hip,which is worse in the night and early morning. I was able to run with no discomfort and my usual exercises make it feel better. It can be very troubling when it bites.

    My rug is arriving tomorrow! They did say it would be late, but I had an email today. Hope we like it!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Allie Have you had your oxygen level tested? My bestie had pneumonia in spring 2018 and the doctors couldn't see pneumonia on the Xrays so they gave her some meds that seemed to work and then one day she couldn't breathe and medics found her oxygen levels dangerously low and she spent two weeks in the hospital. Doctors finally agreed it was pneumonia. She did have a cough, but no fever, or other symptoms besides fatigue. It might be worth going to an urgent care clinic and getting oxygen levels checked.

    (((Allie))): Feel better soon. Peter Rabbit’s mother recommends Chamomile Tea. I also love & recommend Peppermint Tea. I hope you’re able to get helpful advise from your doctor.

    Will get heart echo results on Thursday morning, but I'm assuming they weren't that good, as they called and scheduled me straight into an EKG after my 7:30 a.m. appointment Thursday... Ah well, can't fix what I can't change. Will just wait it out.

    You do have to be careful here too ... this is a public forum.

    Copy any sentence you just wrote or anyone here wrote, paste it into Google with quote marks around it ... and you'll find it in Google.

    Most of the time that's OK but if you are talking about specific named people or things, that may interest someone.

    Wow ladies this is the MOST active group ever. I looked tonight and had 60 notifications!! I can tell I’ll need to check in more often. Haha
    Today I did the bodpod and I am ecstatic with the results! It’s so motivating. My metabolism is fast. Way better than last time! I have lost over 10 pounds of fat and little muscle mass. I went from obesity 1 to overweight. Just so many positives. ❤️ Almost 18 pounds down. Woot woot! My next appointment is next month.
    🥂 Here’s to positive changes!

    Did a body pump video today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a 30 Minutes to Fitness Cardio Blast DVD.

    Woke early so went to the gym early and did a full hour workout then went to the neurologist for my 5 minute “how are you doing” visit.

    Katie – checked out Adore Your Wardrobe. Looks very interesting. I think for right now I’ll probably just do the videos.

    Fae – I had to download that app. There is no way in the world that I’d get 6 strikes in a row! Two, maybe. But not 6! It appears that it assumes you bowl a straight ball and I have a wicked curve (only I can’t control it) I wonder if I got the same one you have? I’d love to play online!

    Does anyone play American Mahjongg online?

    Purses in stores: If I go away from my cart, I usually put my purse on my shoulder. If I am just wandering the aisle, I usually have my purse in the baby seat part with my hand thru the purse handles.

    Mrsshots from OK – What kinds of cardio do you do? I look forward to chatting with you. Welcome

    Vicki – I’m so sorry about your SIL. 45 is very young

    Allie     – feel better fast. Sure hope the doc gets to the bottom of this for you

    Making more sugar cookies for Vince. They had a GOOD sale on the mix so I bought it. Now I want to use it up.

    Margaret- I agree so many places to be conscious of what ur surroundings and look out for ourselves.

    Vicki - condolences for your sister in law.

    Allie - I hope you get some answers soon.

    Evelyn - I think you’re smart to get some tires for snow. We need two new front tires, trying to find a company that will only change two is a hassle.
    I think those people that start chatting on games are a lot of the ones that are looking to catfish someone. Just my opinion.

    Another huge snow dump today, it looks like January snow accumulations now, at this rate it’s going to be an extremely long winter.

    Fae and Allie you can buy a meter to test your oxygen levels at home for about $30. I bought one about 4 months ago. For some COVID patients they don't realize their oxygen levels are low. It is one measure for COVID and if you need to go to the hospital. I measure mine periodically. It should be 95-100. If it goes below 90 call doctor. I was at 98 tonight.

I still don't give out really specific info, but am willing to share more than in a one on one conversation when all I really want to do is play scrabble! lol
