DH is doing his latest jigsaw - The Human Body. So far he's done, Flags and Capitals of the World, The Periodic Table, The Tree of Life, The United States of America and now this.
It’s to help us with our TV quizzes.

That's funny ... I've always thought that Geraldine McEwan was the best Miss Marple by far, with Julia McKensie coming in a rather distant second. I've never particularly liked Joan Hickson as Miss Marple.

The CDC guidelines for what people can do safely after being vaccinated is much more restrictive than most people seem to think. We don't plan to do anything different until a whole lot more people are vaccinated and the incidence of new cases drops to nearly zero. Our county has the highest vaccination rate in our whole state. One of the possible side effects of the second vaccine in swollen underarm lymph nodes so when I made my appointment for my annual mammogram, the scheduler made sure it was several weeks after my second shot so if I had swollen lymph nodes they wouldn't show up as a concern on the mammogram.

Couldn't agree with you more! We are not changing anything! Glad to see we are not the only ones waiting. Also the same regarding the mammogram. Mine is in August.
My daughter and I should both be fully vaccinated by mid April. The hubs is on a waiting list at Walmart. He's not in any of the current groups yet however they will call you if it comes to throwing away expiring doses.

I agree as well.
Despite the fact that a lot of people are being vaccinated in places like the US, the number of new cases is still disturbingly high. And some countries have barely begun vaccinating.

Last night I sauteed two steaks for Lee and Galen, and Lee prepared the two baked potatoes. I made green beans too. Now I have their potato skins leftover in a big container. Really only thing I think to do with them. Cut them up into bite size pieces, add cheddar cheese. What do you ladies do with your leftover baked potato skins? If I was eating it #1 there wouldn't be leftover skins, lol! But neither guys eat the skins!
Birthday hugs to the gals that had a birthday or will this month. (You know a birthday celebration lasts the whole month right)? I DECLARE IT!
Oopsy I yelled that.💕

If you google Potato Skins ... they're a treat! there are heaps of recipes.
"Potato skins, also sometimes referred to as potato jackets, are a snack food or appetizer made of unpeeled potato halves, hollowed and dressed with bacon, cheddar cheese and green onions before being baked again. They are commonly found on the menus of casual dining restaurants in the United States."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_skins
When I bake potatoes, I eat the inner part of the potato rather than throwing it out, but the skin is the best part!
A whole month of celebration sounds good to me ... but I'm going to have to start climbing stairs again to work it off!

Machka in Oz, I shall Google!👍. Yes I personally love potato skins, and I think my husband and son are odd birds. I think the Navy has ruined their taste buds!

Okie - Yay for water!
Heather - Thanks for the brownie recipe.
Rebecca - Enjoy your potato skins.
Lisa - Hope things go well with the plumber.
Sunny day today. I spent an hour outside doing some pruning and putting things away. I would like to spend some time tomorrow cleaning up the gazebo. I am ready to be able to sit out there again.
Welcome to the newbies.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA2 -

Did tracy Long DVD today (weights). Tomorrow I’ll probably do an Extreme Cardio DVD. That’ll be the last time I go to this gym. I’ve enjoyed it
Lisa – I hope those antibiotics work
Mrs_Hoffer, Carol and katla – thanks for bringing jana here. And, jana, welcome!
Pat OH – good luck at the doctor’s
Did a thorough vacuum and have one load of laundry in. Will probably do at least 2 more tomorrow. After exercise tomorrow will probably go to WalMart since the gas station near there is the cheapest (not by much) and return some things to WM that I really didn’t need. No sense taking it all home.
Rebecca – I, too, eat the potato skins and so does Vince. Wish I could help you
They have the pool closed here. To me, it is warm enough to lay out in the sun, but I guess it isn’t warm enough for the natives….lol It BETTER be warm enough for me to lay in the sun tomorrow!!!!!
Debbie – your fruit sounds oh so good
Heather – I have a recipe almost exactly like yours if not the same one. Yes, it is goooooood
Okie – yea for water
Lorri – welcome to a very warm group. We do discuss diets, etc but we also discuss what’s going on in our lives since that affects how/what we eat. Some people (like me) eat and eat when they’re under stress. Then there are people like M who lose their appetite when under stress. If you’re like me, many times these wonderful ladies offer a great solution
There’s supposed to be a launch of SpaceX tonight at 9:58pm. That’s a time I can live with. The launch has a 90% chance of a “go” so I do hope it goes up.

Okie, yay for water! We had to have a new pump back in the fall. We were never totally without water, just really low pressure. I can’t imagine being out for as long as you were. I am so spoiled.
Beth, thanks for checking in. We are here for you however much or little you feel like posting.
Welcome to the newbies!
I’ll put my ancestry story in a spoiler for those of you who love a good soap opera. Please don’t judge me for my dysfunctional family.I haven’t personally submitted my dna, but my mother, niece, and many cousins have. My niece was contacted by one of her 3rd cousin matches asking for help locating her biological father. She was conceived from a military affair while her mother was stationed in Georgia and raised by her adopted father and stepmother. Mother still alive but relationship somewhat iffy. We, as in my niece, sister and I figured out who her father had to be by process of elimination. Her grandmother and my mother were double first cousins. The father is already deceased from the result of a domestic violence situation between him and a stepfather. The grandmother refuses to meet her and is mad at the rest of us for engaging and helping. The “sister” was happy to meet her and sent her dna in to confirm the relationship. Sister came back no match to any of us! Another sister did match with her. Apparently the one sister was conceived here at about the same tome her supposed dad was off in the military creating a different daughter. The new relative is very sweet, has made friends with all the younger generation. Grandmother’s sister is afraid to meet her, because she doesn’t want to make her sister mad. She’s coming back Easter. My sister is also visiting during Easter. We might get to meet the new cousin. We’ve never had a relationship with the grandmother and honestly have no interest in creating one since she’s being so hateful about the whole thing.11 -
Barbie - I agree, we are still under a lot of restrictions in our home, we still don’t allow visitors except certain circumstances. I heard today that the vaccines are proving ineffective to the Brazilian variant. I am praying that’s not true.
Rebecca - pretty afghan. my daughter and her husband use separate blankets.
I eat the potato skins my husband doesn’t, I usually throw his out. I grew up in potato country and never bought a potato in my life until we moved here. It hasn’t sunk in yet that potatoes are expensive here. It’s only been 23 years.
Okie - Woohoo💦💧💦
Katie - that took a bit to make sense. I would love to have mine done and submitted, my husband has no interest, I think our girls do though so I may know someday.
I had another busy day today, I feel that’s going to be the recurring theme until late June.

Dr Katie - So interesting. I guess that's life, but only a shock to people because secrets were kept that shouldn't have been. The truth shall set you free. I have always found secrets to be corrosive and nearly always rebound.
Being away from home , or loneliness at home means people, quite naturally, seek comfort and affection.
But, what an interesting world we live in! I sooooo wish DH would give it a go. I would hate to have absolutely no idea where I came from. He found his mother and twin sister 27 years ago, but his mother didn't want to know. Father unknown. Reputedly, purely hearsay, he was a married father of three other children. It was during WW2.
I'm currently enjoying a new programme on DNA on TV.

Csofled - The news I have rom yesterday is that the Pfizer provides good protection against the Brazilian variant, and a decent, but less, protection against the South African. There will be tweaks made so we can get top ups for other variants as they turn up. My second vaccine will be in April as we have a 12 week gap for ours.
We still have very tough restrictions in the UK. We won't be allowed indoors with anyone until May. Shops are still shut, apart from food shops.
I'm delighted with our numbers locally. Let's hope they stay that way with the kids all back at school this week.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx2 -
We’ve had our first Pfizer jabs and have appointments for the second jabs on March 30. I am pleased. I attended a city meeting this evening. It was a Zoom meeting and ran until midnight. We had nobody near us during the meeting.0

Morning, afternoon and evening all...
Limping through the remaining issues from the antibiotics - Cipro starts to damage the connective tissues if taken for long amounts of time, and for me that appears to start about the nine day mark. As a result, my right hip feels like I'm 90 instead of 60. Now that I'm finished with the Cipro, the tissues will begin to heal, but it takes a few days
Plus the combination of Cipro and Flagyl just knocks me out - all I want to do is sleep for the last few days I'm taking them and a few days after. So, each month it's ten days of antibiotics, then a week of recovery from the antibiotic side effects, then two weeks where I'm watching my body to see if the antibiotics worked this time.
Happier news - the antibiotics do clear up the massive mouth ulcers that seem to be connected to all this during each ten-day run. I've started using biotene rinse and toothpaste, hoping it will keep the mouth ulcers at bay.
Supposed to rain today - hope it doesn't deter the plumbers from getting their work done. Can't see why it would, but you know how that goes.
Katie
Sounds like a lot of secrets in the prior generations... I tested out 70% British/Irish descent, 3% Native American, and the rest European in general. No one has caught up to me yet except one of my half brothers that I grew up with, my mom's son. The whole thing is fascinating.
Time to get Corey's lunch made and get him out the door. Made a lemon butter cake bar last night and need to send the bars with him to work - used the yogurt cheese I've been making instead of cream cheese, and it turned out awesome. Too awesome. Needs to be off the premises...
Later, y'all,
Love,

I attended a city meeting this evening. It was a Zoom meeting and ran until midnight.
Ugh ... that is not my idea of a nice evening! Midnight!!
I like that my cycling National Committee meetings are Zoom so I can put my headphones on to listen, put myself on mute, turn my video off and do other things. I pop in from time to time if I feel I need to comment, but the rest of the time, I'm catching up on email, watching TV, doing my nails, and working on other projects. And the whole meeting is usually only about 1.5 hours ... thank goodness!
During our AGM, I was actually at a bicycle film festival and plugged into the AGM with my phone!! The film festival finished and I had to pay attention to the meeting for a few minutes in the lobby, then I was at the bus stop waiting to go home for the finish of the meeting.
I'm not a big fan of meetings.

"Get to do"s and "chose well"sChose well: Shadow to powerline, activated and setup up new iphones-yep took almost all day.
Bonus: veg prep, another 15 mins decluttering keyboard.
Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, Farmers’ market?, start taxes, call S, fire district: board meeting, input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS mutual aid and other missing details, call Credit union re: credit card, ask for boots donator contact info, appreciation letter or certificate to boots donator, index mutual aid files; FM Cu, watch STAS Day 20, make experimental almond paste, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (Do Your Thing, Pure Movies to Wine, Beer, Whiskey, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), A Little Less Broken, One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Nothing but You, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick); finish mulching flowerbed, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant the last of the naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. Reconcile Joe’s EOB’s Thrivent shows only 2263.48 so far, next BGBS ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Reward: inventory seeds, plan this spring’s garden, wishlist replenishments, Last week in March: call Wild Rivers (541 247 3514) for dog wash/nail trim appointments.
Mindful March:
9: Take a full breath in and out before you reply to others: mostly, just one unhelpful chat helper and let my frustration show to the tier 3 activation specialist. She was great, and we ended pals.
Hailed so hard last night and this morning it looked like snow.
Tracey thanks for the story about your friend. Bet you’re right about Ancestry.com.
Barbie, eeeuuuwww. Thanks, but eeeeuuuuw :sick:
Heather Your son’s smile says it all. I loved the Joan Hickson Miss Marple, but then I’ve never met a Miss Marple I didn’t like, though I’d not seen your Geraldine McEwain nor Julia McKenzie. Will look for both at the Library. Had trouble accepting Margaret Rutherford as her appearance and voice clashed with my imagination.
Your cauliflower cheese with bacon sounds both delicious and terrifyingly caloric. I understand Johnny’s hesistation. If bio-father is who I think it is, he was married with four daughters when I was conceived.
Okie 17 days? :noway: you are made of tough pioneer stuff! Hip hip hooray for the new pump!
Julie congrats on the positive feedback on your writing. Sounds like the repair guy is trying to gouge you on the price. Not sure 10 years is “old” for a washing machine but if a new one is only twice the repair cost estimate… We got our first washer/dryer (Maytags) in 1984 and I then swore that as God was my witness I’d never go to the laundromat again. :laugh:
Rita lovely flower, maybe wild geranium/cranesbill? If so, watch out, their seeds are long, sharp, poky and stick to dogs’ fur.
Rebecca that afghan is gorgeous, and obviously lovingly cared for as well as made. Had to laugh “Thank goodness” at your “Only one in the whole world like ya.” :laugh: Thanks! “left over baked potato skins” never happened here
Katla intrigued by your comment about your husband being unable to eat cabbage the way he was brought up. ? Think both Brussels sprouts and broccoli are members of the cabbage “family”. City meeting ran til midnight? :noway:
Debbie my mouth is watering at your ginger infused pineapple and apples.
Thanks Flea! Think we’ll get two activators, one for outside, one for in.
Allie glad you took your nosebleed to the hospital. Hope it stays stopped.
Welcome @Lorri127 Lorri from SoCal!
Pat C in OH ((hugs))
Michele fingers Xd for the SpaceX launch
Kay thanks for your story. My half sisters on my bioMom’s side are also both very sweet. Who knows, maybe the father’s side ones would be too.
Lisa your lemon butter yoghurt cake bars sound delish! Hoping this last round has well and truly done the job.
Machka Have two pillows, usually sleep on just the one memory foam chiropractic one, but sometimes put the down one between my knees.
Recurring dreams, yes, since I was a child. Most nightmarish.
Can’t remember longest without sleep, probably 30 hours in college manufacturing a mid term paper.
Funniest/oddest place to have fallen asleep: Winterland 1969 People’s Park Bail Bond Benefit. Curled up on the floor under my coat and slept through the Grateful Dead, awakened when Jefferson Airplane’s Jorma Kaukonen began to play.
Spent the most-not-greater part of today getting our new iphones activated. What a cluster. Website activitation didn’t work. Webchat advised there was a port delay, normally 20-30 minutes, if no activation email received in 3 hours call back for Tier 3 activation support. OK done. Then trouble activiating Joe’s new phone, web chatter advised prior carrier account number “wrong”. Strange, it worked ok earlier in the day for my phone. Call in again, get transferred again to another activation specialist who figured out that the phone number on the porting request was wrong, seems like Joes got mashed up with someone else’s from the 310 area code. Been frustrating from the get go. Phones were delayed 6 days in transit (due horrible TX weather and highway conditions, understandable). When they arrived, we found Apple provides charging cords but no plugs. The cord ends are USBC and all our plugs are USB A. USB rant here(USB A, USB B, USB C, mini USB, micro USB, what is it about “Universal” these designers fail to understand?)Ordered from Amazon Saturday, arrived Monday afternoon. After activation specialist got Joe’s working (she stayed online with me while we waited the 7 minutes for the porting request to come through), she transferred me to billing. Billing gal did what she could, crediting us with one month’s worth of line charges to compensate for not being able to use our phones from Feb 27 to March 9. Satisfied, exhausted. Fortunately Joe was too tired to start learning how to use his new phone, I was in no good place for gentle leading. Needless to say step count today stank.
Lighter, lovelies!

Barbara - Your phone saga sounds like my worst nightmare. :sad:
Yes, the cauliflower cheese was a calorie bomb, so I left a decent portion for lunch today. Looking forward to it. Nice to have an old fashioned comfort dish occasionally, but it's a lot of work and a lot of washing up. Fortunately, DH does that part!
I'm making DH a bacon sandwich with the left over bacon. He likes fried tomatoes in it.
I'm not keen on my son's beardy look, but it seems very popular these days. I like men smooth and not too hairy in general.
Zoom with the girls today. Must wash my hair. Going to be raining and very windy today and overnight.

Pillows - a whole bunch! I've got one my head goes on and one that acts as a headboard or for me to lean on if I'm reading in bed. I've got one for my knees, one that tucks up against me, and one for my right arm. And a bunch of others as back-up if necessary.
Dreams - one involving a telephone call I can't make, usually vaguely nightmarish. One involving trying to find a clean toilet. That one means I need to wake up and get to a real toilet! Occasional dreams about the place I lived the longest with my ex ... and often him trying to move back in with me.
I also have a recurring one about my long distance rides. That one is a mix of good and frustrating.
Longest without sleep would likely be during my long, long, long distance bicycle rides. I can think of one where I rode 36 hours straight through.
Places I've slept - the list is long! Mainly because of the travelling and long distance cycling I've done. An empty wing of LAX, other airports, entryways of churches and shops, the lawn of a police station, the middle of a gravel road - it seemed comfy to me just then. Ditches, picnic tables, in a tent next to a truck stop, in a tent right next to a go-cart course (we didn't realise it when we pitched the tent but did when we woke up to a crowd of people and go-carts!) ....................

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! A couple of my kiddos have arrived, but I wanted to hop on and say "Hi" to all, and "Welcome" to the newbies!
Machka's questions:Getting To Know You ...
How many pillows do you sleep with? Two. One very flat and one fluffy (that gets moved around during the night to spots I need it; under head if I am on my side, or under one arm, or between knees)
Do you have any recurring dreams?- I frequently meet with Sting and the Dalai Lama and talk about life/the world.
What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)?- about 38 hours, October of 2019, as I waited for Miguel to be born, daughter to recover, (almost lost both of them). Came home from that trip exhausted and had to work the next day.
What’s The Funniest/Oddest/Most Unusual Place You’ve Ever Fallen Asleep?- As a child, under the kitchen table; as an adult, sitting at the kitchen table.
A photo of the kids on our walk yesterday. And a quote that speaks to me:
I leave early, early tomorrow morning to catch the 6:45 train to Chicago, to catch my late morning flight to Texas! Next time I check in, I will be where the weather is slightly warmer and the skies are immense! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

I use two pillows and a cushion for sitting up in bed to read or work. I do nearly all of my writing on my tablet in bed. I also Zoom my girlfriends in bed, but add another cushion, so I sit up straight. I rest the tablet on a stand on top of a box containing art materials. I hate sitting with my legs down. I spend most of my day on the bed. My evenings are lying on the sofa.
At night I use one flat pillow as I'm a front sleeper. I prefer no pillow to a fat one. Sometimes this is my choice at hotels when the pillows are too bulky.
Probably went without sleep on long haul flights.
I have been known to fall asleep at a desk with my head on it, dribbling.

I have been re reading Gretchen Rubin's "Happier at Home" and in her secrets of adulthood she mentions:
"You can choose what you do but you can't choose what you like."
"What's fun for you may not be fun for others and vice versa" Some days I read about what many of you are doing and I wonder "Why on earth is she spending so much time doing that?" and I'm sure many of you think the same about me. I knit year round. I am more likely to knit blankets in the winter and hats in the summer, but because we keep our house climate controlled, it's about the same temperature indoors no matter what. Everything I knit is for Project Linus. They accept blankets year round. I think I have finally figured out both sets of bluetooth headphones. Right now, one is paired to the Smart TV and the other to my phone for listening while walking and talking on the phone. I know how to pair to my computer in case I want to use them for a Zoom meeting instead of the corded earbuds that I've been using. I sleep with four pillows--three behind my head and one under my knees I can't recall ever going too long without sleep My recurring dreams have been about rushing to catch a plane but running slowly or arriving to teach on the first day of school in my nightgown with the classroom not yet arranged. I have dozed off during meetings both in person and on Zoom. Barbie in NW WA 1 -
I sleep with 1 queen sized pillow turned side ways so my head and arm can rest on it.
I seem to always dream about being late to events. Ill prepared and dressed wrongly!
Longest without sleep must be when we moved from CT to FL. They load your cars on and then you get on and travel over night to FL. Then we drove rest of way to our destination. I did not sleep a wink on that train! I was so worried about my littles sleeping in the seats beside me.
I'm sure I must have dozed off somewhere sometime but it alludes me!
