    (((Beth)))

    Lanette I have a huge Borage plant in my garden. Loves its spot. It is done blooming. I tried a blosom once but found it hard to swallow. I choked on it. Still love the plant because it brings in the pollinators.

    I learned a long time ago you can voice your opinion; you cannot control the audience.

    This is what I think makes this group special we listen to one another and try to help each other find good solutions to the challenges in our lives. The intentions I hear here are to help. It is up to me to decide if this advice works for me. If it does great and thank those who chimed in on the problem. It the advice does not fit I still thank all who tried to help and use the advice that works for me.

    Have a wonderful day friends... <3<3<3

    Days and days behind, catching up one page at a time.

    Tracey, scary about the interac-(damnautocorrect)/Canadian debit card system being down. How did I not even hear that on the news?!? Fingers X’d for the new job application, and how nice to be invited ;)
    Heather no microwave here ;) but Mr. Google found me several Cuban bean recipes, some even with ingredients I already have ! Will look up your son’s “Food Glue” podcast.
    Allie hope the cardio appointment went well. Likewise pip’s shoulder appointment. Sorry I’m so far behind.
    Welcome @Vickster73 Victoria from the East Coast! We discuss our own issues here frequently as they impact our health and wellbeing, so feel free! Instead of “exercise” is there an activity you enjoy? Walking in the woods? Dancing? Swimming? Two keys for me are not thinking of it as Exercise and linking it to something I normally do every day. Incorporating just one activity (NOT the “E” word) into your daily routine can have amazing benefits. For example, dancing or marching in place during the commercials only while watching the evening news or whatever you normally watch every day. Good luck!
    Lisa fingers Xd for favorable water test and prompt water system repair.
    Carla I’m with you. The only thing that should be released at a memorial are soap bubbles, and of course tears.
    Rebecca wow that birthday box travelled fast!
    Bethe likewise I’d always been warned against electronic controls, even by the current appliance guy, but nowadays, even if they have knobs, the underlying controls are electronic. No choice had we.

    Through pg 54, that’s it for now.

    Hello, y'all,

    Well, the daughter's ex-husband came got their camper trailer, one less worry. I did not go talk to him. He's still my grands' father, and I have to remember that, and there was nothing I wanted to say this morning that would have helped the situation. As an example of the usual communicative status of the adult American male, I asked my husband if he said anything to the boy. He said yes, that he asked him how he was holding up, and the answer was "Trying."

    I think I shall put on socks, etc., and check the ladies at the farmer's market to see if any know a well expert, and then go pick up the minimal food we need to get through the week - mostly just fresh veggies and fruit for Corey's lunches.

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    Did my 5k. It was so lovely out there. :)<3 Picked up milk and a newspaper on the way home.
    Did a bit of mat work and weights to finish off and then some rowing in the afternoon.
    I've washed my hair ready for tomorrow morning as we will have to set off walking to my son's house around 8.30. I'd like to get a bit of face on, as we are going out for lunch with the family later. The bike ride my son and DDIL are going on usually takes around two and a half hours over the South Downs (which are ups).

    The gutter man is coming on Tuesday to finish off what he didn't do last time. :# It hasn't rained for months here, thank goodness. Sooooo dry. Some places are on water rationing.

    Love you lots, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I thought so too! I sent the box two weeks ago, thinking it might be 4 weeks in transit, and his birthday is the first two weeks of August. So he kinda got all this birthday cards etc early. That's a first with the fleet postal service! Birthdays when it comes to the Navy happen any time you want them though.

    Up visiting my mother this weekend. 15-year old came with me, so we kayaked last night and this morning. My arms are aching. But it is so good to be on the lake.

    Saw radiation oncologist yesterday morning, and he is very pleased. Between my CT which showed "evidence of healing" and my MRI results, he says he is finished with me. He said the radiation will continue working on those places, which I didn't know, so that we are already seeing a change is very good news.

    Machka -- I do hope your new job is going well for you.

    Rita -- I'm so sorry you are sick, but thankful it's not Covid. (I presume your test was negative?)

    I can't believe July is almost over. I wanted to have so much more done at work by now than I have done. Faculty start coming back next week, and we have inservice activities the week after that. I am not ready!

    Rebecca ~ Athena is precious!

    Heather ~ Love the pics of your two granddaughters at the seaside.

    My two grands will be starting a new school year on Monday/Aug. 1st. Grandson is not excited a bit because he never seems to get in classes with his friends. All of his teachers are men and older. Granddaughter is delighted. Their mom is happy that both are in her school so she doesn't have to cart them to separate schools!

    Well my diet is lousy today but I started writing again after several months off. Yay! It's a thriller novel and the lead character is a military explosives expert. She is just meeting the local police who keep calling her "honey" instead of Captain. The scene needs a lot of work, but at least it is sketched out. The next decision is how much of the police processing to describe. It's set in a rural county without a lot of resources, so I'm trying to imagine how that might work. And whether it would be necessary or interesting to read. I should probably just get on to introducing suspects.

    Rebecca-I don't think it would be possible for Athena to be any cuter!

    Flea-kyaking with 15 hear old sounds like great way to celebrate. I had never heard that radiation continues with the healing after treatment finished. Hope time with mother goes well.

    Carol in GA-I do not miss the kid carting part of parenthood-I'd be happy with everyone in same location too.

    Didn't quite follow my plan for the day. My technical debacle
    I had decided to buy two large monitors for my work from home days (I can do that 3 days week when my schedule permits). Looking forward to budget time and possible extended time at home (I am mentally prepared for suspension surgery and since I have just about met out of pocket I will push for this year). Need to get a splitter to connect the two monitors to my surface tablet. It all came in yesterday. Looked easy enough to connect (plug and play). Didn't connect. Talked to my IT director, we tried a bunch of things-figured it was something with the state equipment (they put all sorts of restrictions on. I was researching stuff this am and after seeing a connection, I realized the extra cord in package was not for a different computer hook up-it was the power cord! (No instructions came with splitter). Seems to be working very well!

    After that, I packaged my old iPad to send GS. Since he is turning 5 none of us want to trust him with a new one, but he is using the old family 2012 hand me down, so now he gets my gently used 2017 model.

    Went to Aldis and discovered something different-dill pickle flavored popcorn. I love dill pickles and love popcorn and had to give it a try. I think it is really good. I will have to be careful.

    Was starting out for walk late today and before the end of the block my Apple Watch told me I had low power so came home to charge it (darn straight I want that exercise credit). While it is catching a charge I fixed dinner. Got a broccoli stuffed chicken breast at Aldi. It is ok but a bit salty.

    Going to clean up kitchen and fold laundry-then hopefully get walk in in half an hour or so.

    Take care all,

    Barbie in NW W-sorry to hear about eye-hopefully it can heal quickly.

    Rebecca-your food combinations are something else!

    Pip-very cute job on bike. You have done some nifty projects since moving into your current place.

    Allie-so if you are set with Cardio for another 6 months are they taking you off transplant list?

    Got my 3 mile walk in. Rather leisurely pace but it was gorgeous out this evening.

    Take care all,

    Worked. Jess and Colby went to some sort of pot luck at NC State. Bought gas for the lawn mower then mowed just a little. Had to go to WalMart since Jess wants hamburgers/hot dogs for dinner so I needed to get hamburgers. Just got the premade ones. Normally, I would have made my own but I was running short on time. Then to church. Took my walk around the block. Now making banana chocolate chip cookies.

    No work tomorrow so I get to exercise – YEAAAA The plan is to do another section of the Biggest Loser the Workout DVD and then some pilates then hopefully go for a walk around the block.

    Beth – I’m so very sorry

    Lisa -CRS right now. What caused you to no longer by at the farmer’s market.

    It’s really raining now. The thunder is very close. Vince has a flashlight in his pocket. Sometimes he can be such a pessimist!

    Rebecca – thanks for the Athena fix. Can she get any cuter???

    Flea – great news!!!

    Ginny – at Aldi the other day I found these cauliflower crisps. Not bad at all. Personally, I like the cheddar cheese ones best. I thought the sea salt one were a bit on the salty side

    barbie – (((HUGS))) Hope things go well at the specialist. When do you see him?

    Allie – glad the appt. went well

    pip – you are so creative. I don’t think I could have done what you did.

    Better post this soon. It’s really thundering.

    Worked today then the soup kitchen. Afterwards I needed to stop by Lynette’s to give her some coupons then to WalMart. Then Food Lion for chicken. The price of Vince’s gatorade has gone up!

    They were saying at the soup kitchen that the numbers (they serve) are up. At first I thought it was because this is the end of the month, but another lady thinks it’s because food is so expensive that people are coming for a free meal and applying that money towards the gas or electric. Isn’t that sad?



    Michele NC

    I helped at the food program at my old church with my mom this morning- We have out boxes to over 150 families. I don't know if the numbers are going up beings I am not there that often, just when I go see mom, but I did see quite a few new people filling out the paperwork for it.

    We have had road works outside our house for the last couple of days. They are gradually moving up the road. You can imagine how happy DH was when they knocked on the door and asked him to move the car!!! He was in the middle of gymming and had to park it further up the road. He managed to avoid parking it under a large tree though. :) Even though it was a Saturday, the guys were working until about 2.30.pm, digging a huge hole and trench.
    It's BT, putting in cables.
    Oh well, one day they will be gone. It is a bit of a racket though.

    Sorry to hear about uour eye, Barbie. Hoping for a quick fix. <3

    Now to get DH a cup of tea and get ready for our babysitting this morning. Later this afternoon, it is the final of the women's Euro football. England made it all the way. You all remember we went to watch the Norway match in person with the kids. It may be that DH will want to stay and watch it with Edie. I haven't asked him, but it's an idea.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    We've been replanting sunflowers in bigger pots, or rather, I've been doing it, as I was the only one who had a clue. ;) I'm not optimistic about their future. :p I've been chatting with the girls about this and that and they excavated my handbag to find my makeup. They both have pink 💋. :p
    Parents are out for 3 hours. It's cloudy and windy, so not perfect weather.
    DH is now playing hide and seek while I'm chatting to you on my phone.

    Fatto is planned for lunch, but it might be full. The Persian isn't far away.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxx
