So - I'm going to report now...only 1 pm here - that I will be "yes x's 3" today. Exercise is planned...meals too...so I WILL stick to it. ;D
So sorry, my friend, that you are suffering too! I did not realize that you, too, are in Texas like SummerSkier! My heart goes out to you BOTH! We get this kind of weather ALL the time in winter months in Illinois, but Texas, to be like this is just unheard of, it is CRAZY!

Happy to hear this. I am still stuck in powerless mode in my mind after 3 days. Went to turn the flashlight on instead of the light switch. Went to heat my coffee on the burner instead of oh yeah MICROWAVE.. After almost 9 hrs of continuous power I was brave and bold enough to reset my clocks. LOL. And one of my neighbors 3 doors across never lost power. so strange.[/quote
The situation that YOU are going through is NOT funny, but I admire YOU and your humor! YOUR post made me laugh out loud!

Bwahaha!
It was a long day at work and a long day at home. Overall it was a positive!
I made an incredible chicken wonton stir fry but measured nothing. It was delish. And I was encouraged to write these stories that are family stories that have been stuck in my head for years.
One is a children’s imagination story and the other is inspired by a story my grandmother told me about the day after Pearl Harbor. I just might write them!
Now all I need are readers...
I will be a reader!

Yes, I use my computer. I have a smart phone, but a dumb operator, I have never really learned to do apps on the phone. Guess I could give it a try. Thanks for the advise Ms H!Mrs_Hoffer wrote: »@alligatorob do you use the smartphone app or the website to log your food? I sometimes have difficulty on the website when I'm trying to log food, but if I do it on the smartphone app I hardly ever have any difficulties (at least with the food diary). So I use the laptop when I'm commenting on the threads (like UAC), but I use the smartphone app when logging my food.
@alligatorob I mix and match my devices for tracking. For general searches for foods, especially new, I use my laptop. I use it also for 98+% of community posting as i can type. I also use the computer for entering recipes that I want converted. For copying past entries or copying current entries forward, again I use the laptop. The best feature of the iPhone for tracking is the remembering of previously tracked food (ie as I am typing it is matching), but I think even that seems to have a timer on it as I will find that no food will come up when I know there should be a match. I'm getting faster and faster with how to force the laptop tracking to do what I want. Hubby ONLY tracks by phone, but then again, I track all his dinners for him via my laptop.
Oh, another related point. I don't know if it is my computer, but your browser can matter. I go through whole stretches when Safari will not properly track and I have to switch to Chrome for me. I'd use Firefox, but that is where I am logged in as my husband to easily track for him when requested.
I, too, prefer Chrome as my browser of choice; others seem to cause me problems!1 -

Thank you for sharing your tears. We are here for each other.
Thanks for this post, Rick! Things have been callous for me! Having a friend stab you in the back and many others just stomping all over me, lots of crying for the last 2 weeks! I have missed this supportive group so much! 3 -
@RangerRickL, look away, please (something something about plausible deniability)...
So who do we have the pleasure of beating up for you, @ginadomaszewicz? 👿

Sigh. You're right (I guess 🤷🏾♀️ lol) this is probably the more mature way to function both online and offline.
From what I understood of Gina's woes, however, is that she's having some challenges with her offline friendships. Regardless, I hope it gets sorted @ginadomaszewicz1 -

@ginadomaszewicz I'm so sorry that you had to go through that! How awful! You are such a selfless person too..... I've missed YOU my friend. My mother often said that "hurting people, hurt others". And while it's certainly NO EXCUSE , I hope you can eventually let go and move past the hurt that this caused you.
{{{HUGS}}} my friend. 2 -

You should know me by now, Rick! I am a LOVER, not a FIGHTER!
Thanks also for the books! I got them a few days ago!1 -

Yes! You are correct, and it is offline friendships and some family too! I think it is people unhappy with themselves, just like @ Mrs_Hoffer had mentioned. The way I deal with them is to CUT them off! I got NO time for NEGATIVE people in my life or my journey! 1 -
@ginadomaszewicz I am glad that you are who you are!!!
