Katla - I take friends to the airport and back all the time! I loved to be asked. If folks want to reimburse me I let them but always tell them I get 30 miles to the gallon..... so it is rarely very much (my closest airport is 2 gallons so about $10) Look at the things we do (or offer to do) for one another on here - folks love to help if they are given a chance.

Passwords you can get an easy to use secure app to keep all your passwords in. Then you only have to remember the password into your phone and into the app.
Christmas will be very lean this year.
Shots last week got both my flu and CoVid boosters the same day. Made me very tired but otherwise ok.
Went to doctor for bloodwork review yesterday and agreed to a psychiatrist to adjust my meds and help my moods. Also discussed medical marijuana with her. She is pro, so looking I to that too for both me and DH.
Still taking it one day at a time. My big worry list is working for me. I rip out the pages for the ones that are done and label what I put in by month. Encouraging when I can rip out completed worries ( living wills done, talking to creditors, filling out power of attorney papers,….).
After DR appoint, starting back on watching what and when I eat and doing the 16/8 fasting.
Faking it until I make it!

(((Rita))) - Faking it while you make it is an excellent path to getting things done.

It is loud here this morning- Last night just at dusk, one of our neighbors huge Eucalyptus trees fell against our fence and on our roof. Doesn't seem to be any damage(as long as they don't cause any while cutting it up and getting it out of there). We have a large canopy right on the deck that was covered with branches but thankfully most of them are smaller and just tons of leaves. When they are done, we will get a lot more sun in the back yard.
Zumba tonight. Our class is so small, I don't want to miss it. Some nights it is just three or four of us, including the teacher.
I may go to mom's this weekend or next. Told her to decide which works best for her. Need to talk to her about Thanksgiving. We don't go up there because dh has to work usually and both he and son will work the next day. We usually celebrate a week before or after. I really don't want mom by her self, even though the past few years it had been just her and dad.
I will also be going up the second weekend of Dec. for our annual candy/treat making weekend.
Not sure what we are doing for Christmas. DH has some new ideas- I think it will be me going to mom's and him staying home and going to his mom's. Not sure where son will go, hopefully with me. I don't know why we can't do like we always do, we all go to mom and dad's Christmas eve, spend the night then have a nice meal then drive home and go to his mom's in the late afternoon. That isn't good enough for her. But, if that means more time with my mom and not going to his mom's, that is fine- I guess he and I will just do gift exchanges another day.

Kelly, in a way, this reminds me of your leaf story on facebook.
Sorry about the size!

Worked, then put down grass seed then went to Aldi, got dinner ready to microwave. Vince is talking about not going to Newcomer bowling tonight as he’s having some a-fib. I’m wondering if some of this isn’t in his head. I can understand his concern, tho.
Karen VA – how wonderful about the house!!!!!
SueBDew – so happy you’re back!
Fasting blood test tomorrow. Reminded them at work that I’ll be late coming in. They didn’t seem to have a problem with it
Allie – did you know that you were going to have a long day so did you bring a book or something to do? I usually take my tablet with me when I have an appointment. Whenever you’re prepared, it never happens. And I prepare for a long wait….lol
Picked up the mermaid yesterday. I honestly thought it would take longer in the kiln. Anyway, now I have a dilemma. Need everyone’s input. Which shells should I use? The ones (#1 and #2) that have the most white, the ones that have the most red (#3 and #4) or the last one with one of the others (which one?). What do you think?
Talked to denise last night (miracles DO happen). She seems to respond to Vince texting her but not me. Anyway, she said that now Pete is working one week on and one week off. Then she immediately told us that he’s working christmas. So Vince asked if she would come down this year. I mentioned that since Pete is working Christmas, they can come down the week before or the week after. She said she “needs to talk to Pete”. Translation: gotta think of a reason why I can’t go.

It’s dire. I can’t edit quoted posts. Even fining the thread was a pest today. So much for ‘new and improved’

This thread is where it always is:
It is usually in the top 10 threads or so.
But you can bookmark it and it will show in the Quick Links section in the right side bar, under Bookmarks.
Here is what's new:

Incidentally ... when you come here, is this not the page you all come in on? Yes, you can click that link in a box below.
That's the first page I go to ... then I glance over the headings and might pop into one or two of the other subforums, and finally I'll go to Motivation and Support and locate this thread.
There's a new subforum about Sleep and Wellness which might be interesting. :)

I am sore today after water exercise yesterday for the first time in months. It has been a nice day and I got some of the leaves and maple keys swept up off the front porch. Those maple keys come down like rain in the wind and it was windy yesterday. You can hear them hitting the skylight in the kitchen.
Katla - Good luck finding a doable option for getting to the airport.
KJ - Sounds like fun at your house.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA

It looks like the spoiler option is no longer available. I agree it took me awhile to find this forum too. Now we will need to remember to book mark the month we are on and then go to book marks to find it. I agree OH BOTHER! Seems to be the way of the world. I did get gutters cleaned today. When went to son's to get that home done the street didn't allow parking because they were cleaning the street. So I had to park in the block over because I still cannot guarnatee I will not be blocked from my garage. I did get everything done today to get ready for our first snow this weekend. It will not be much but it will be cold and not fun to do outside work. Our compost site was packed today. Staying in tonight because heavy rain and exhausted from all the raking.

Had Newcomer bowling. Tomorrow I go for my fasting blood test, then work, appt with the neurologist, then the couple who were cohosting the Halloween party with us are coming over to help put away all the Halloween things from the party. We have everything boxed up.
Pip – this one guy on the bowling league had a “I – then a picture of a bike – MS” I thought of you when he said that he usually does the MS bike ride. I also thought of you, katla,
Sue WA – how I miss my water aerobics class! Well, our pool will hopefully be opened in March and I can go in it in April

😀MFP has made many changes in the years I've been using the site. My first reaction has always been that it's different and I won't like it. Once I got used to the changes I've liked most of them. Sooner or later, I'll get used to this new style.

Thanks so much for making me feel welcome and loved. The reason I left was because I had trouble seeing to read. Since then I have gotten audio books so don’t read books.
So much has happened but I still feel the close connection in this group. It is rare for a group last this long and be so close.
Kelli, thanks for your message. I don’t know how I found the thread and had to use your link to find it tonite. I bookmarked the page but it keeps telling me I am new
Allie- I was so sorry to read of your medical problems. Take care of you.
DH and I got Covid a year ago Ju,y. We had been home since February and decided to go my sons ranch for my birthday and the forth. Unfortunately our twin grandchildren Were diagnosed the next week and so we got tested and were positive. I was very sick but had home treatments. DH still has no smell or taste. Tomorrow I will tell you the rest of the story
Hugs to all

Hi Gals,
Machka – when I log in I end up on the home page and then click over from there. Which is fine with me…. Sometimes there is something there that catches my eye.
Like Barbie – the changes are a “drag” for a bit, but it is most of the time just an adjustment and then I’m ok…
Sue – so glad you are back home with us. Sorry to hear you got covid. I have a friend who had a very light case but did lose smell and taste and said it was the hardest thing to cope with.
Thinking of everyone.

The backward P is a paragraph symbol.
And you're right ... we can do headings!!

A code block. Interesting. I might have to play with this!

Barbie – Thank you for the November thread! :star: :heart: :star:
Heather – Congrats on an email from “The Hovarian,” and a call from BBC radio! I hope you enjoy being the author of the month. Good for you!!! :heart:
Allie - I like the wisdom—to accept the things I cannot change, and have the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” I have heard this message before and agree with you—
Pip - We didn’t have a single trick or treater this year. :ohwell:
Rori – Coffee is first here, too. Happy you’re getting your Covid booster. We have had ours done, too. We plan to travel and that means spending time in a commercial jet. We plan to fly masked. We’ve had three Pfizer vaccinations and a flu shot already. :star:
Machka – I love your 7 prayers for November. Brilliant!!! May you be blessed, and all of us, too. Amen. :heart:
(((Flea))) - Keeping you in my prayers. May your medical team be at their best and take good care of you. :heart:
Karen in VA – I am beginning to get excited about our trip and worrying about travel situations. They are likely to be especially difficult for DH.
Barbara – I have one final PT session before we leave for our trip. The PT session is tomorrow morning. Our fllght is set for 11/19. I have been part of a yoga class for a long while but had to curtail that in favor of physical therapy for now because of my knee injury. I think the knee is improving.
SueBDew - So happy that you’re with us again!! :star:
I have had a long day and am ready for rest.
