    Good morning everyone! I just wanted to share this info. I was having a really hard time getting enough protein in my diet, so a friend recommended I try premier protein drinks with 30g of protein and only 1g of sugar. I was really hesitant, because all I could think about was the nasty after-taste of other protein drinks that I had tried in the past. I finally took the leap, and to my very pleasant surprise, the drinks are rather tasty and it's an easy 30g of protein.. So far I have tried the chocolate and the cafe latte. The cafe latte is my favorite so far, but the chocolate is also good. I was just wondering if any of you have tried these drinks and what flavors? I'm thinking of trying the peach next.

    I will definitely try the chocolate one of these. I see they are at my local Kroger and WalMart. I desperately need to add to my protein intake so I'm always looking for something that "tastes good". Lol.

    Hello, all,

    Starting on a couple humor pieces--which of these titles would you be most likely to read?
    • Stop telling me to meditate: You’re harshing my mellow
    • The Internet is not helping my hypochondria
    • Why are our children allergic to talking on the phone?
    • I’ve finished my memoir three times, and I’m still not dead (Bwaaaa!!! :lol: )
    • The only reason I eat toast is for the butter, and other signs of a misspent life (This is a fact!)
    • There really are some stupid questions
    • Marrying my sister and other weird detours
    • The point is… I forget
    • Laundry
    • If you have to SAY it’s ironic, is it still irony?

    Dabbling again. Life is good.
    Lisa in AR

    I absolutely love 4 and 5.

    Hooray boiler is fixed just had to strip off (was wearing thermals, wool socks and sweatshirt and joggers)

    HEATHER think access to Netflix depends on the package your son has, I asked my daughter about her account, she thinks it is 4 devices at a time. I’ve never had a big problem getting on and there are 5 possible users, DD her partner and 2 grands.

    Annie I used separate accounts to register DH and myself. I have my own and we have a joint account. So yes this is one thing in the system that I think creates a problem for regstering for the vaccine. As I said my friend's birthday got into her husband's Walgren account which makes it impossible for her or husband to use Walgren's until this in straightened out. I also had to create a Walgren account for DH. I already had one. So too complicated.

    Winter arrived this morning in Texas. I skipped both line dance classes today because roads were icy and I have no driving skills with those conditions. It was great to be able to just stay home.

    I received my second Moderna vaccine on Tuesday. I had more of a reaction to the first shot. I couldn’t lift my arm for 2 days. This time my arm was not as sore.

    This is what happens when the roads get icy here. A 133 car pile up just West from me outside of downtown Ft Worth.

    Lisa: I love the humor! :bigsmile:

    Rebecca: The lego metropolis is awesome. :smiley:

    Barbie: This is funny! “The town is known as the place where old people go to visit their parents." :laugh:

    (((Cathy:))) I am so sorry for the loss of your DH. :flowrforyou:

    Pip: You did a great job settling in to your apartment. Next step, moving into your new home. I’ve no doubt you and Kirby will make it a warm and pleasant home. I bet it will be wonderful. :star: I love the photo of the bike ride in the snow in Tacoma.


    It is only 8:05pm and I am ready to settle in for a good night’s sleep.

    I was awake early, so took the opportunity to do my online Waitrose order for two weeks time. I find once a fortnight works well for us and I schedule the same day and time. :D We haven't been to a large supermarket for a year, but might start again soon, now we've been vaccinated. I might brave the bus if there are not too many people on it. They have been empty over the outbreak, but might start filling up again now all the old folks are jabbed. Masks are mandatory. I will double mask. Any kind of outing would be nice. I haven't been further than I can walk for a year. I have stayed within 2 miles of my house.

    Hoping we can catch a glimpse of the grandchildren in the park at some point over the weekend. It should start warming up on Sunday. The night before last Scotland had its lowest temp for 25 years overnight. -23° C. We were around -3°C. I'm hoping Bea's new warm coat will arrive soon, so I can give it to her for an early birthday present. They all walk to school every morning.

    Must remember to wrap DH's Valentine 's presents. I haven't talked to him about food. I'm leaning towards takeaway! :D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Bananas – I really didn’t have bad hot flashes. I really and truly believe that exercise helped with them. When I couldn’t exercise, they were much more intense. But as soon as I could start exercising, they weren’t as intense and eventually faded away.

    Maybe that's why i didn't get them. i was jogging regularly back then and walking a fair bit.

    I also didn't drink coffee at all back then, only green tea.

    My parents are having trouble registering for the vaccine because they use the same email address. The computers can't handle that.

    I'm sorry I don't have a picture of my handwoven lace valance. It was a blue grey subtle plaid. I sewed a horsehair braid (plastic nowadays) to one edge to hold the curtain hangers. It came out really nice. It's in storage in Virginia with all my stuff.

    Sorry to hear about all the hot flashes and troubles. It makes me wonder what the lady politicians are doing. It may become more commonplace one day to see them sweating.

    Four inches of snow today! The yard looks so bright and clean. Yesterday it was muddy.

    Most women use HRT which seems to take care of the problem for the most part.


    And I don't think people would particularly notice me sweating.

    Hot flashes are more about how I feel inside. I feel like I'm burning up but my husband has touched my face and arms during a hot flash and they're cool.

    On the outside, I know my chest and neck turns red like I've had a bit of sun. If you didn't know me well, or if I were a guest speaker somewhere, you would think I'd been out in the sun on the weekend.

    And my face "glows" like I've got makeup on - reddish lips, a flush on my cheekbones. I've gone into a hot flash in front of a mirror a couple times and have seen it.

    The only sweating I do is to become slightly damp, and there's usually a or two trickle that goes down my back. So when I'm at work, I wear a bra, a tank top to absorb the trickles and a loose, very lightweight top over it.

    I exercise just about every day, sometimes for a decent amount of time and effort, and still get them.

    However, when I'm exercising, I rarely get them.

    We're all slightly different.
