Feeling stressed?

Thank you Machka and Carol for the links.
I also saw Gloria on the mfp page. What a terrible tragedy that was.
Phone chat with G scheduled for after lunch. Dates confirmed for the London get together. I will book a cancellable hotel room.

Annie, I think you are thinking straight about getting the information straight from the cardiologist. My DH often tells me his ultrasound showed improvement but can't give me details. The cardiologist always wants to talk with me and explain the results. DH doesn't mean to mislead me but hates to face any information that shows decline. He is 81 and wants to quit having ultrasounds, won't get cataract surgery and won't get hearing aids. He says everything is a waste of time and money at his age.
Flea, thinking of you and sending healing thoughts as you deal with radiation burns and plan for the future radiation on the spine. Speedy healing to you.
Michele, Me too... was driving home on the Interstate and two huge gravel trucks were in front of me and a rock hit my windshield... couldn't use the chip repair because windshield had lots of spidery veins running through it .... New one is ordered and will be here March 15. Rats.
Pip, thinking of you and wishing you well.

Barbara, Oh yes, way more important than knowing your favorite color or that you prefer dark chocolate. Really made me smile.

Barbara-So nice to hear you had a wonderful day! It's the little things that make our lives special.
Re: sound in movies/tv shows, it's common and apparently "the way it's done" that the sound people make the dialogue lower and then crank up the music/crashes/bombings. A friend of mine told me why a few years ago, but it was too technical for me to remember. The bottom line is that it may not be our hearing. An easy "fix" is to turn on subtitles so you don't bust your eardrums when a big crash happens in the movie. When the mister watches action movies, I have to leave the room. It physically hurts my ears.
It's raining buckets today. We need it, but it sure puts a damper on my exercise plans.

I am looking forward to seeing the puppies on Sunday at 11 am. DH & I are both looking forward to it. I’m not sure whether they will be old enough for us to bring a puppy home then. ❤️🐩❤️. Mama dog is gray & we were charmed by her.4

Hoped to be able to progress with the burn pile but too windy already this morning. Just as well, best not to disrupt morning habit routine two days in a row. Next window, maybe Monday??? Whoops! Joe just asked if we couldn’t burn for even just an hour til it got too windy. Keeping to intent to encourage him in activity, dropping everything to meet him at the burn barrel. Worth a little disruption
Holding pip and Kirby in thoughts and prayers.
Lighter, lovelies!

Allie--I am trying to remember JmKmom. I remember her and her son growing so big so fast. Do you know what happen? Seems we have lost several this last year that do not post anymore and I wonder about them. I do hope they stand firm with Carmine as they have to learn the world does not revolve around them. It is not easy.
Tracey--The mugs are so cute. I agree you might benifit from a coloring book. I know when I color my mind relaxes. Great stress relief.
Flea--Sending prayers and hugs. Glad you are doing what you need to take care of yourself.
Okay now I am confused. The lady that passed away, was she the one with the young son that was growing big time, or the lady with MS who's husband liked to eat out all the time. Just saw machka's post and yes I do remember her. I wonder what happened to the lady with the young son. Thanks for sharing the obituary.
Katla--Excited for you to meet the puppies and pick out the prefect one.
So looking forward to having the weekend off and plan to do some house cleaning and work on the 4 baby blankets. Hoping we get the rain they are talking about and we need, so be a good day to stay inside. Church on Sunday and then get ready for the work week. Have a couple long days and meetings next week.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

Was over with Tracy and Miles.. poor Miles is colicky they went to see Tracys husband and then were going to pick up her dad and go to Starbucks..
Tracy is at her wits end with Carmine... they were an only child for almost 14 yrs and right now ,they dont care about anything,school parents just cant wait to get out of there.. but gee without an education where you going to be? Living on the street?
Kyles insurance has no mental health services so they are just usinf the school counselor now.. will check into social services here in town and get information for Tracy..5 -

jmkmomm was Joyce, and her last post might be on this page ...

Check out the thread ...
JRsLateInLifeMom/Amber/Faetta/Faye was a different person.
Three people. Amber and Faetta are not the same person either. Faetta popped in a few weeks ago, I think.
Thanks for the post link. There was also a post from Gloworm on that page, who has also passed away. Such a sweet memory of two lovely ladies.

Katla- looking forward to seeing pictures of the puppies- we raised poodles when I was little- so much fun.
Allie- hope you are feeling better and Carmine apologizes-
Betsy- my dad was like your dh- didn't want to get the hearing aids or get the cataract surgery. After the first surgery, he was amazed and wondered why he waited so long to get them done. Being a major bird watcher/lover who spent hours watching them from their living room and around the garden, being able to really see all the birds was huge.
Flea and Pip- lots of healing prayers for both of you ladies
UPDATE- Pip, I just saw your pictures- that is MASSIVE. NOT the way you want to loose weight but glad they got it all out.
Lisa- I forget sometimes how close some states are- saying it is just a two hour drive to get into OK. Here, we would drive at least 5 hrs to get out of this state, some directions a whole lot more.
It was amazing to me when I lived in Mobile- the states were so close- on the one freeway you could head to the right and be in Pascagoula, Mississippi or to the left and go to Pensacola,Florida. We would do a day trip to New Orleans.
Slight rain this morning with showers expected for the rest of the day but should be dry this weekend.
Heading up to mom's to get working on the green house. Hoping it goes a WHOLE lot smoother than last year(instead of planting, she decided to tear the inside of the greenhouse apart, taking out all of the hot boxes dad built because they weren't working great(but at least there was some heat coming from them)
She says we are not going to plant as much, thankfully. No need for fifty of each kind of tomatoes when you are planting about 20 kinds!
I have seed I want to start for me and for her(and who ever else wants them)
Will be nice spending the weekend with her. Not sure if her friend has moved in yet or not. If not, I am sure this will be the last weekend I am there without the friend there. Hopefully the other guy that is living on the back part of the property stays away-if he does come by, he had better behave himself-he is a jerk.(at least to me)
Not sure if I will be able to check in here while I am up there- her wifi and cell service is so bad. If I want to send a picture through text, there is only one spot on the whole property that I have been able to do that. (in the front, near the pond) and they have 3 1/2 acres. There may be another spot but I haven't found it yet.
Leaving a sink full of dirty dishes for dh-they are his that he has not rinsed, just keeps putting more in the sink. Usually after a day or two, I cave and wash them but not this time. Will leave a nice note on them for him. He worked this morning then going to the movies with a friend and wont be home until after I leave. He will be home for a bit but I will be gone picking up the daycare girl from school.
FINALLY the scale moved this week. 149.9 . (actually 150.4 but weighed with shirt on so ....)
I need to do more walking I see. That is the only thing different this week. oh, and no peanut butter. 3 hrs more of walking to loose a pound. Need to talk my friend into walking more often or get my butt motivated and walk alone.
ok- time to get off my butt- need to pack, get dressed and be over at the school to get Ezie in 1 1/2 hrs.
Have a wonderful weekend ladies- Will check in on Monday.

Carol, thanks for the link to Joyce's obit. I remember her well.
Pip, holy moly! Who took the pictures? I'm glad that is out of you. Prayers for complete healing.
I spent the night with my father last night so that Mama could sleep. I stayed until the Hospice nurse came today. He said we could try the over the counter sleep aid (basically Benadryl) that we talked about previously, and just discontinue it if it seemed to affect his breathing. Right now I am staying every other night. My sister is coming back next week. Yay! Daddy seems to have stabilized, which is a good thing, but really, there is not much quality of life. He eats, sleeps, sits on the side of the bed, and drinks Ensure like an alcoholic drinks beer.
And to top it off, our cat Pip went outside to play on Wednesday, and has not returned. I register her as lost on the microchip site. Hopefully she will show back up, but we are beginning to lose hope.

Puppy visit will be in a few days. I’ll have my iphone with me and will take pictures if I can. ❤️ I may be so twitter pated that I can’t remember to take photos. Hopefully DH will be able to take photos, too.
Katla2 -
Pip - Oh goodness, gracious me. How you were getting around with that inside you, I can't imagine.
I've seen bigger ones on TV shows, but not in 'real life'. It looks pretty intact, so they did a good job.
Hugs to Kirby.
I've booked a hotel near my friend's apartment. Can cancel up to 3 days ahead and reschedule up to 1 pm the same day. I really love being in a hotel room on my own. Time seems to be suspended.
We heard from DSIL who had the ankle fusion. All good. She sounded very cheerful.
Tandoori chicken for dinner. Delicious. I've got enough calories left for a small piece of cheese and chocolate.
Weigh day is Sunday.
I've ordered new hoops from Amazon. Only gold plated, but they will do for the cruise. Arriving tomorrow.
I had a good morning's writing. As I write I remember more and more. My love of the Lake District started with him. My whole family got to know the west side really well and we all climbed Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. If you ever visit England you must visit the Lake District.
Love from Heather UK xxxxxxxx3 -
Hi Gals,
Katla – hope the puppy visiting goes well
Pip – Oh my goodness! Sending good thoughts that it is not cancer.
LOVE the stress Diet!
Carol and others thanks for the link to obit, and for helping each of us remember Joyce.
Allie – sending strength…. Carmine is in a tough space, but that is not an excuse for bad behavior. I would start checking to see what other help might be available beyond the school counselor.
Heather - I loved the Lake District when I was there, and even bought a water color there.
Thinking of you all, and hoping for a happy healthy day

Hi all, long day.
Went to a great lecture today. I go to lectures often enough and usually I find them about 50-50. 50% interesting 50% boring. This bit was about 100% interesting.
Then got a glass of wine at my favorite café on the way home.
I love the people who work there- the waiters some of the customers and the atmosphere, in the day time.
In the evening it's a whole different vibe. There is some crossover of people but I really love the morning people many there working with their computers or whatever....
Got in about 10 000 steps each day since I have a counter.
Today I probably walked more particularly to get in steps...

Wholly Canolli Batman that's one hell of a tumor PIP!! What an evil thing! So glad that's outta ya! Healing thoughts to you!

Pip- WOW! Our prayers are with you all for a speedy recovery and good news to follow!
Flea- Prayers for your journey as well.
Had to come home for the plumber so got a chance to pop on here. SIL's ex has a really bad ulcer in one eye, glaucoma in both which is causing the iris to fleck, along with several other issues. The most concerning is the ulcer at this time. He liked my eye doctor so that is good. Now just to take the time to heal.
I will check in again later.
Hugs!

PIP, that is the biggest tumor I've ever seen! Bless your heart. That must have been extremely uncomfortable. I'm sending up prayers for a quick recovery, with good news to follow regarding biopsy results.
It's partly sunny in Green Bay today but cold! My husband went to have our cars washed, and while gone a window salesman came to our door. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of answering it. That was my first mistake. He was a young kid (20's?) and so polite trying to do his job, and I kept trying to nicely tell him we were not interested. Well, I'll be darned if he didn't make an appointment to come here next Monday at 2pm to meet with my husband and I. I didn't even realize what he was doing until it was done! Good grief! That was one smooth salesman. My husband is going to have a fit when I tell him. I have the company's phone number so I will call them and cancel. I am such an easy target! Dang, I obviously wasn't nearly firm enough. My husband doesn't understand that...he tells me almost every day "You have no problem speaking your mind to me! Why can't you do that to anyone else?" He's right, of course! Oy....
I'm hoping to take my dog for a walk this afternoon, but it will depend on my knees. Also need to run to Aldi's for some fresh produce. I'm making chicken fajitas tonight and need some fresh peppers and onions. I've not made fajitas before so I hope they turn out okay. I'm trying to delve into cooking more now that I'm retired. It's a painful process...
Have a wonderful day everyone!

Pip! Holy crap on a cracker girl, that thing is huge! Sincerest hopes and wishes that they got it all and that it's not cancerous. Keeping you, Kirby and Yogi iny thoughts.

Today I put the state boat marine tags for the next two years. Next, I need to wash the poor thing. That will require a “bright, bright, sunshiny day.”0

I did my marching elliptical and yoga. Yay!
Hugs to Drkatiebug and Pip and anyone else who needs one.
Thank you all for understanding about my mother. More hugs!

Pip: Where in the heck were you hiding that thing? Oh my goodness.
Speedy recovery!
