Machka – I love the photo of your DH and the garden.
Regarding soups- My mom bought canned soup. I make soup from scratch. I use very little salt when I make soup and put things like salt & pepper shakers on the table for those who like them. Pepper is a favorite of DH and I dislike it. We are each able to have what we like best. 
Allie – You are lucky to have your adult children and grandchildren nearby. I'm just a little bit envious. :flowerforyou:
Pip – I admire your exercise practices. You are an amazing athlete. WTG!!! :bigsmile:
Beth – DH takes a 325milligram aspirin each day. Aspirin is useful for pain control & as a blood thinner. I prefer Tylenol on the rare occasions I need pain relief. Everyone has their own needs & preferences.
Tracey – After thinking about it, the PT session went very well. I left feeling better, and that was more than I expected. I have one more session before we leave on our trip. :flowerforyou:
Heather – Oregon Public broadcasting has been airing the Great British Bake Off for years. I’ve enjoyed watching for a long while. I can’t even guess how old the episodes may be. When we had cable TV, we were able to watch the Hairy Bikers. The show was good fun and the food was amazing. We now have Direct TV and no longer get to see the Hairy Bikers. :ohwell:
Celticcapergirl1 – Welcome! Speak up and tell us a little bit about yourself. It will be fun to get to know you.
My name on this thread is a combination of the first three letters of my first name and the first two letters of my last name—Kat La (Katla) I live in St Helens, Oregon, beside the Columbia River.
Karen in VA –YAY right back at you!!!

Celticcapergirl ... welcome!
I've been with MFP since 2012, and followed calories in/calories out with success (80 pounds lost), but got stuck. Now I fast at least 19 hours a day with a time restricted window for eating. Fasting has made a noticeable difference in my general health and when I eat with good health in mind, I lose weight as well. I currently need to lose more weight for a healthy BMI. I'm married. Both my husband and I are newly retired. I retired after our chocolate lab puppy accidentally broke my leg. Still recovering from that. I have two sons, one in heaven as of February this year, and another who is living at home while he reimagines his future after suffering significant losses in his life.
It is a beautiful Fall day here.

Hello to all the newcomers! Welcome to our band of lovely ladies!
Today I am down .2 lbs. Gaaaaah, I am such a turtle!!! But that's ok, I get to where I want to be EVENTUALLY, right?
Today's feast, chicken thighs in teriyaki sauce, grapefruit segments, a pop tart and coffee. Easy peasy.
Tonight I am fixing some chicken pasta, peas, and chicken in a sweet and spicy mixture, for Lee.
Its a gray, gray day, I have the side table lamp on its so dark!

Well husband takes me to the on base clinic pharmacy to get my blood pressure meds. I get those and go to the family practice window to make an appointment. They show me to the door down the hall where the appointments are made. Talk to that guy and he asked the reason, I say UTI. He said he'll have a gal come to talk to me, no appointment needed. So I wait and then a gal comes and we sit off to the side. I answer her questions, go down the hall to give urine sample. They call me 5 minutes after we get home. Tomorrow I get the meds for that. Easy peasy. The perks of my husband being in the military for 20 are apparent!👍💖

Well my parents made it home from the eye doctor. My dad had his eyes dilated but drove home anyway. At least they said next time they would ask me to help.
Teddy is home from getting three teeth extracted. He is still wobbly, and I think he needs a good nap before he tries the back steps.
And I made an appointment to get a new phone on Friday. And a dentist appointment for January. I don't know which is more scary.
So it wasn't a bad day after all my worrying.

Worked then came home and made manicotti to have when Steve is here. I try to have some sort of casserole the day he gets here because you never know the time. Not going to log today but will be careful of what I eat
I don’t ever recall having a toddler bed for any of the kids. Then again, the crib had a door so if they wanted to get out, they could. I seem to recall they went directly from the crib to a regular bed.
Called Denise and left a message (again) to give us a call. I’d like to ask her if she’ll come down this holiday season since we couldn’t go up there in September (Pete had covid). She’ll say “no”, I’m sure of it But at least I asked
Pip – you may be retired, but before you retired, where did you find the time to work?
Tracey – how I know the smell sticks. Seriously, we should invest in fabric softener. So many times I wash the shirt (almost every day) and use fabric softener just to get that smell out
barbara – even the word “livermush” sounds gross
katla – when Vince had knee surgery, the next day the PT had him out of bed and walking. He screamed in agony. Her answer???? Close the door
celticcapergirl – welcome! This is as good as place as any to post an introduction.
Allie (grandmallie) – I don’t remember how long I’ve been here, either. Really, this is the only forum I’m on
Woo hoo...I just got to my 7 day streak!!!
Anne DE – hate to say it, will your parents remember the next time that they want you to help out at the eye MD? Did they give Teddy pain med?
Went to Newcomer bowling tonight. We had a few ball return problems so when I went to give the girl at the desk the envelopes for our team Vince wanted me to tell her emphatically how there was a major problem. To be honest, I didn’t say a word to them. Really….the gal behind the desk couldn’t do anything about it. But when Vince asked me if I told her, I just said “yes”. It’s not worth getting into about it. I know the gal can’t do anything so why get worked up about it?

November
3: Get outside and observe the change in nature around you: Soft earth, new green grass, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms… oh and a newt or a salamander or two.
4: Sign up to join a new course, activity or online community: nope. Well maybe Pastor Jim’s Bible study would be more to my taste than BGBS…
Went out to the deck to try T’ai Chi before daylight. Dogs were having none of it. Soon as the recorded voice began, they started barking. They insisted on coming out to the deck, as if to watch my back, then promptly curled up and went to sleep. Some guard dogs! :laugh:
Found a newt? salamander? sheltering under the brush pile yesterday. Now that that pile is gone, she/he’s migrated to the main pile, seems to like it under the tarps
Might be a northwestern salamander, looks a little pudgy, could she be carrying eggs?
Here's another we saw a few days ago scuttling down the wall and across the deck
Katla glad to hear your PT wasn’t painful. Did he suggest any stretches/exercises to do at home?
Welcome @celticcapergirl1 ! Would you let us know what you’d like to be called, and your general locale.
Intro: I’m Barbara, (not to be confused with our great leader Barbie), the Ageing Hippie, Mother of Dogs who lives with them and her DH in a cabin in the woods above the southern Oregon coast. No kids, fostered nephews now grown with kids of their own, thousands of miles away. My god daughter gave me my screen name “auntiebk” when she was just little. Now also grown with 6 kids of her own. Born in SF, lived in Bay Area and Northern California for 47 years, then Boise Idaho for 20 years of work. Retired and scooted back to the coast quick as we could, winter is too long and too cold in Idaho. We had ice on the deck two years from November to May.
Sunrise here today 7:51, sunset (behind the rainclouds) 18:09. Back in Boise it would have been dark until 8:22, then dark again at 18:34.
Penny @lagopus came to mind today, hope all’s well with her and hers.
Lighter, lovelies!
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
