Rebecca - I was so happy the first time we rented a stand alone place! I understand their feelings.
Barbara - I’m happy to read you had an enjoyable day with Joe.
I’ll share some pics.
The chair has the pillow I bought for my neck sitting in it. The rug is machine washable! It’s still getting it’s creases worked out. The little chair hooks just made my day. We don’t have a closet at the door and everyone just drops everything on my deacons bench. I’m hoping once the hooks are in place people (DH) will hang his hoodie up.
Chips are my weakness, there is nothing I like better than a bag of chips and an ice cold coke. I’ve been saving the chips as a Sunday evening treat lately and it seems to work for me. I need to get the Coke under control again though.
Chocolate is not something I want very often at all.
Kelly - one of my favourite cousins raised 4 boys almost by herself. Her husband drove long haul truck. They are the most respectful men and all adore their Mom. She ran a very tight ship but it paid off.
Facebook was down here all day too. It just came back an hour or so ago.

Carol - you will do well with the cataract surgery. It is not bad just have to remember all the drops. I slept most of the afternoon when I had mine done. Thinking of you.
KJ - sorry about your trip.
Rebecca - that Athena is so photogenic!
Nephew and his fiancee are coming to pick up their kitties today. We have been keeping them for a few days while they were away. Bank put all the funds in my mom's accounts on hold. Now I have to take in a whole bunch of paperwork on order to pay her hospital and ambulance bills. Yuck!
Everyone take care. Sue in WA6 -
From Krebs on Security: "In simpler terms, sometime this morning Facebook took away the map telling the world’s computers how to find its various online properties. As a result, when one types Facebook.com into a web browser, the browser has no idea where to find Facebook.com, and so returns an error page." It was a routing problem. Seems to be fixed now.

First day of work so no formal exercise. It appears that I’m to work from 7 until I’m done which makes me wonder why not drag it out and get paid for that extra time? Well, we shall see what happens. Supposed to work tomorrow so I might just go for a walk after work. Guess I’m going to have to change my habits to exercising right as I get home from work. Guess I can go to the gym on the weekends
Barbara – Vince goes to get his INR checked once/month. The MD keeps suggesting he go on Elaquest (? sp), but he’d like to stay with warfarin. It’s been around a long time and we really don’t know the long term effects of Elequest. Dying the sheet for a possible Halloween decoration. Don’t think we’re going to use it, but we may eventually, When I was in college, I would regularly have pizza and wine. So KFC and champagne sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
Cookies: I was asked at bowling to bring something Monday since they’ll be celebrating the birthdays for this month. I’m thinking of chocolate chip cookies and maybe some sort of mixed fruit or cheese (my downfalls). Better not have cheese since that’s one of my downfalls.
M – I like sauerkraut but I couldn’t stand the salt. Someone on here (I don’t remember who) suggested this recipe that only uses 1T of salt. I’m liking that one so I buy when cabbage is on sale. No, I didn’t know that BK tried to set up in Australia. Interesting…..
Fast Food – Vince laughs at me because he’ll eat at a fast food place when we’re on the road and I’ll take my own food with me. But I do have to say that I did try the Impossible Burger at BK when they first had it. I’ll eat Subway and (believe it or not) Five Guys has this veggie that isn’t bad.
Julie – giving away the cookies to me is a win-win. I get to have just a little, enough to satisfy me, and the workers get to have some for their break room.
KJ – how exciting...another boy!
Worked, went bowling, ceramics. I’m beat.

BK did successfully set up here in Australia ... but the name is Hungry Jack's rather than Burger King.0 -
Michele - I wouldn’t drag it out too much they may decide you’re too slow. 😂

Janet - You and your twin are both lovely. I like the photos & I think the right sister is you and quite lovely. Your granddaughter takes after you. She is lovely, too.
Heather—I would love to take my grandchildren to school—but nor very often. Too much distance between us. Oregon and Illnois are very far apart. I wish we had a transporter from StarTrek. :flowerforyou:
Barbara – We will see our son and DDiL’s children in a relatively short time—a few months. I wish were more used to travel. This will be a challenge for DH & me. We rarely travel. :ohwell:
I am ready for rest even though it is relatively early in the evening.
Have a good evening.

Sue in WA, she is really too cute for words.💖👍. Every time they send me pics I say now these are the cutest ever, then I get more, no now THESE are the cutest. They are gonna have to keep an eye on her, she'll have the boys carrying her books and such!😂😂
I just love her to pieces.

5: Be a realistic optimist. See life as it is, but focus on what’s good. That carpet will never be perfectly clean, but it can be a little better now
Motivation: changing linens reminded me why I want to be stronger=to be able to lift the mattress corners and edges to tuck in sheets. Also to be able to lift 30+ pound Tumble at need. And to be able to rise from any seat with ease if not grace. Got a little workout in digging out the weights and moving stuff around. Tomorrow will send thanks that I’m able to start again actually do the BB&B YouTube I found today.
Machka, here Shadow’s dark fur (clogging the Dyson 3 times today) signals approaching winter Tumble is seasonally independent, she sheds her long grey/black/white and soft white undercoat 24x7x365-1/4. :laugh:
Julie I don’t get bored walking, thank goodness! Just easier to do it when committed to a time/place with strolling buddy.
Janet what a beautiful smiling face on your dear Callie.
Heather you have a tender heart.
Vicki your suggestion to Tina made me smile. Prayers for your DH and Thursday’s appointment.
Tracey
the chair hooks 
Your new chair is very sleek and attractive. Washable rug, now that’s something I need :laugh: I used to have a 2 or 3 coke a day habit. Now its 2 or 3 cokes a year. Chips are a monthly treat, with an AF beer of course!
Michele the gals at my church in Boise had a recipe that called for rinsing the (store bought in a jar) sauerkraut to reduce the saltiness. Me, I like it salty!
Katla I wish you had a Star Trek transporter too!, Then you could pick me up and we could go, and still be back in time for dinner
Thinking more about Terri’s atomic habits, (was it you Barbie who first recommended that book way back when?), doing just one thing to remove obstacles or make the desired behavior easier to do. Today it was setting out the weights to make it easier to do BB&B/SWSY. Also hung the big cat picture that was part of the pile blocking access to the sewing machine. Then, as I was vacuuming, thought about (again Barbie? Gretchen Rubin’s?) “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” Realized that the floor will never be perfectly clean, but it can always be just a little bit better. Huge frustration/obstacle reduction!
Lighter, lovelies!

Facebook went out here around 4.30 pm, just as I was making my first post in absolutely ages! I thought it was me and kept retrying for over an hour.
I found out that the whole lot had gone down on the news. WhatsApp and Instagram. I use WhatsApp a lot.
So I used the normal text to communicate with my son and friends.
Went to bed. Set the alarm on my phone. (Of course I am awake before my alarm) Then at 12.40 am I was woken up by a succession of notifications as WhatsApp came back on and previous messages from family and friends arrived!!! Pleased to see my Facebook post had finally made it.
I had a bit of trouble getting back to sleep, but managed it.
Now just waiting for a suitable time to get up and get our day started before the kids arrive.

For the outage earlier today ...

The rain and wind passed through overnight and the day dawned bright and crisp. Gorgeous autumn weather.
The girls arrived at 8 and we set off at 8.20.
I went ahead with Edie while patient DH brought up the rear with dawdling Bea. Lovely chat with Edie about her holiday hotel in Majorca. Did you know that when it looks as if the pancakes have run out , suddenly a whole new lot of fresh ones appear!!!! Wow!
We also had a long conversation about making deliberate mistakes, which I did once for a Leadership course.
Walked back in the sunshine and stopped off to buy bagels to make smoked salmon and philly ones for lunch.
Happy morning.

Tracey - I wish you many happy evenings in your new chair! Hooks are fabulous.
Barbara - You seem to be getting IT at last. Why does it take us humans so long? I feel I have made huge strides in the last few years. 
DON'T LET THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD is the saying that has most changed my life, along with the Serenity Prayer. I'm now working on Consciousness and Presence.
Wish me luck!!!
