    I disagree with not sharing photos of family and loved ones. Then everybody should be off of Facebook right!! Evil happens everywhere. We cannot stop living our lives and enjoying other people's lives because of people that are demented. Hopefully there is still more good in the world. 💞🙏💞

    But you wouldn't photos of your underage grandchildren on FB, right? Or at least not without the permission of their parents!

    Of course I do!! Just like you see pictures on here all the time of our children and our grandchildren!! You say positive comments about them all the time what's up now?? I love seeing my children and grandchildren. And no evil is going to stop me from enjoying my life!! Please don't let it stop you 💞

    My grandchildren have their own phones, tablets, tv's, and computers. They are on TikTok and all the other popular sites. I really think there would be a problem if they are sharing their lives and locations on those sites and I just have to hope that they have been taught not to do so. They are being brought up by responsible parents and monitored and they are being taught moral values through their church.

    Do I?

    Like I said ... research it and make your own decisions.

    You're the one who has to be comfortable with your decisions, not me.

    Did a body pump DVD today. I’m going to work tomorrow so no formal exercise. I just didn’t feel like it today. And since I’d asked for off until Thursday, I really don’t feel guilty. Whenever we’re going to get a delivery, I prep some in anticipation. I bet they didn’t so that would just have meant a lot more work for me and I just didn’t feel like it. I got caught up with the laundry, I really think we need to use the carpet cleaner on the rug that Lexi uses since we seem to have a lot of flies and I’m sure they’re attracted to the rug. I’ll probably also go to WalMart. Needed to make the salmon loaf we’re going to have tonight.

    Had a nice trip. I swear, Steve had enough food for an army, literally. We did buy a sheet cake and I brought up some cookies. It was nice to put a face with a name – Steve talks about these people so much. And PJ is getting to be more and more like a little boy, not so much a baby. We took the slide to him and he REALLY enjoyed it. They bought him a bike with training wheels for his birthday, but he is really not ready for it. But he seemed to really enjoy the slide.

    We stayed at a hotel and they wouldn’t let him go swimming “because he isn’t a registered guest”. Honestly, I never looked, but is that the rule for most hotels? This hotel was pretty shabby. It didn’t even have a fitness center! So I wound up walking for about 45 minutes. Each day we were at Steve’s I took a walk around his block for usually about an hour.

    Honkflap, Karen, MaryQueena and anyone else I may have missed – welcome

    Tracey – the “five foot rule” is “if it looks good from 5 feet away – it’s good enough”

    Stopped at the ceramics place near Denise (we didn’t tell her we went there) and got 2 of the fish I’d ordered and some brushes. I really like the ones I got before so I got some more. I also ordered this (what they say) is a large pelican. Will probably pick it up Labor Day weekend.

    I think Denise was glad to be able to go shopping and get her oil changed without having PJ. I have a feeling she wished we stayed longer. Well, Labor Day weekend.

    Allie – I’ve had plantar warts, too. Aren’t they painful?

    Annie – I, too, love ready how you are so consistent with your exercise despite everything. Maybe your mom will change her mind about the pill box. Why not get her started using it while you are there? If she’s in the habit, maybe she won’t be so opposed to using it while you’re gone. You deserve time to yourself.

    Didn’t eat that good this weekend. Steve had things like fried chicken. But he did have a veggie and fruit platter. He also had assorted cheeses. That’s my ultimate weakness.

    Shortly before I go shopping, like the night before, I’ll try to decide what we’ll have (at least the main) for dinner for the next week. Then I look to see what’s on sale.

    Lanette – sending love

    Gillian – welcome back

    Heather – that cake looks scrumptious, and I’m sure it is. What a baker!

    Carol – Steve says that his coming to our house is “getting Vince out of jail and being able to go to places like Five Guys and Waffle House”….lol

    Gas prices: going to PA we spent over $100 on gas. Don’t even want to think what we spent going from PA to DE to NC

    On the cake we got for Steve we had them write “welcome to Steve’s picnic 2022”. So we told him that this implies that he has to have one for 2023. He’s already invited us for June 3 next year!

    Allie – some counseling places will let you pay on a payment plan. I agree that Carmine needs a mentor. Why couldn’t Kyle and Tracey give Carmine his phone during the day and take it at night?

    Lanette _ so sorry about your toe

    I love seeing pics of everyone else’s grandchildren, especially since I can’t see my own. To see how they grow up! Boy, I remember when Bea was born and other things, Athena is so adorable. Joaquin’s problems and they’re solved. Lots of other things. In one sense, I agree with Mary – we can’t stop living.

    Phew! Finally caught up. Sorry for anything I may have missed.

    Barbie - I agree with you, in your comment to Allie. Carmine can hear you, and they know you love them. Keep up the good work! Just relax the expectation of a miracle! You are there, that's what counts. <3
    And well done about the bed. :D

    Had my hair trimmed in preparation for the cruise. We were both wearing masks, mine medical quality. And I ordered my BP meds early. I had to state why, but it's been approved. DH has booked a barber's appointment for Friday.

    We have had to get the gutter man back, because there is a leak at the very front edge. He's coming on Tuesday when DH is at cricket. It's very high up, but he doesn't mind scrambling up a ladder. Most firms won't. He did a lot of work last year, but this is right at the front corner.

    I'm having a tea/dinner with my friend G tomorrow. She's in Brighton for an evening conference, so we are meeting at tea time. I hope the weather holds off so we can sit outside. If not, it won't be crowded that early and we can go to an airy place.
    Don't want to jinx it now! :|

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    DH & I opted for cottage and blueberries this morning. I was delighted. I grew the blueberries on my own bushes. They’ve been in the freezer since last summer.

    Regarding family photos — DH & I are delighted when our adult kids share photos of their homes and our grandchildren. Facetime is a good place touch bases with family & friends. 😊

    I am sorry that some of you think we should not be sharing photos of our families in this chat. For many of us, our grandchildren and families are our lives. I will refrain from doing so in the future as I certainly do not want to put any of my loved ones in danger.

    I for one love all the family pictures. This is a type of freedom of speech. Those who wish to post pictures do so. If you do not want to, then don’t. My grands are on Facebook by their parents so I have no issues posting them here ( when it works!). But I do respect other’s wishes. My middle daughter does not want me posting her pictures so I don’t. It is an individual decision.

    RvRita

    Absolutely.
    Do your research.
    Talk to your family about how they feel having their photos easily accessible on the internet. Respect their wishes.
    Perhaps take some of the precautions mentioned in the article I posted.
    And with that awareness, do what makes you feel comfortable.

    ‐-‐

    Meanwhile I am just the messenger here.

    Some of you are acting as if I told you your pictures were too ugly to be posted!!! :lol:

    A few pictures from my walk with my zumba buddies- our teacher was out of town so we met at the wetlands- I have never been there, the other two go often.
    Sorry, the pictures aren't great- I tried to zoom in too much of the swan family(we saw three families, one in each of the "ponds/lakes" there.
    I can't wait to go again. We might go Friday. I told dh when I got home that I really want him to go with me one time. The areas we went were all flat land so he shouldn't have a problem with it-
    The snake was just chilling in the middle of the road. We almost stepped on it. Busy chatting and looked down at the last second. He did not want to get off the road- think he liked the warmth. My friend did not want to be near it.

    Went to the little park with my daycare girl after school- none of the other kids showed up so we just played- I walked around it while she played or she walked with me.
    She has lunch there that I pack for her. I eat when we get home. I hadn't eaten anything (that was almost 2PM) and dh had brought home burger from Jack in the Box- I ate the whole thing and it was a big one- I usually get the Jr, not the Jumbo. Well, there goes about half my calories for the day. Ate it and just left me feeling more hungry, wanting to eat more- more hungry than before I ate. I was pretty good- yes, I did eat a couple onion rings but that was it. Got up and started doing stuff to get me busy and keep my mind of of snacking.
