Good morning We are finally going to get rain by Friday and will rain for about a week, but I hope it is not torrential downpour as that will add to the possiblity of flooding as the ground is very parched and the trees are very dry as well. We will just have to wait and see what happens. Our water supply is also dangerously low since we are in a stage 5 drought but the rains should help some what.
@Tabatha_Cain, I hope you are not too too cold, and you have a good sweater you can weare to keep you warm. I am hot all the time so cold does not bother me unless it is to go to the bathroom, then I want hot lolololol
@Dianedoessmiles1 that is a nice picture - the meeting last night was awesome especially the part on "Love is Patient and Kind" as well as the congregation bible study lesson 23 - oh what a treat !! I hope you are not making yourself so busy you are ill later, so do pace yourself as best you can. I saw your 25% badge you created for yourself, well done eh !! I get my new scale tomorrow and will see what my real weight is on the next day as I will do what I have to, to prepare it for weigh in. I am excited !! to say the least
@Kurtize I am excited for you to get the answers you need to your issues and hope those answers are something that can be addressed with pt or exercise and not surgery !! Let us know when you can eh? It's good to take a break from computers - I do that often, but not often enough !!
@NovemberGail I just love a picture reflection in the water as yours does - so beautiful !! Thanks for sharing that !
@everyone, I hope you all are doing great in this 3rd week of the challenge - have a wonderful day eh !!

Good evening, all!
Tomorrow's word is COURAGE. I needed that today when my crazy dog decided to run in front of the mule. I was clocking her at 13 mph when she decided to run in front of me. In my panic I hit the gas harder. My heart was in my stomach. Well, now I know she can probably get up to 15 mph and my lifespan has been shortened. The song that ran through my head after I calmed down was The Rolling Stones, 19th Nervous Breakdown. Billie is going to give me more than that!

@Tabatha_Cain ,,, OH MY on the heat!! Did they at least bring in space heaters? Or send you all home early? SO SORRY!!
@Patti241 ,, that's GREAT!! What's your weather doing? Tonight getting down to 38, inland (15-20 miles in) they've been in the 30's for a bit, but we are always warmer, just right along the water even more so.
@Cormierannie,, Nicely done Annie!!
@Lindiemaep,,, I hope you get a slow rain over the week, that'll help you out so much. We were in a category 4 drought, but since the middle of Sept we've had 14 INCHES of rain, and are now prone to flooding when it rains out. YO!! We got it ALL SO FAST!! Now you know and I KNOW that makes HOPE the WINTER will be very snowy!! Hey I can HOPE!! Meeting last night was GREAT!! I was tired from the Dr's office at 6 (Meeting is at 6:30) we were only a few minutes late, we both were on ZOOM at our own places. It's nice we live so close to each other!! Awww @Catwmncat would love to hear she did so good on the 25% of my way towards 5% Badge. She makes them so well. Oh Linda you should see the SPOTLIGHT NOW!! LOL Some of us have learned how to do VIDEO's. That's just fun also!! YOU ARE MISSED!! Are you happy back with your old team from Sparks?
@Bookienj ,, Oh I like and DREAD busy days now. If my health were better I'd pack all days as much as I could. Today I had my GGS for 2 hours he's so foolishly cute!! Almost the moment he left ,, my friends showed up, I made us lunch (homemade chicken nuggets and homemade spicy fries) we played cribbage. THE QUEEN CONTINUES TO REIN!! LOL I wanted my friend Lynda to win, but I had told her "You'll need to EARN THIS!" After that was the council meeting and after a bunch of us sat around and chatted for the fun of it. Hence I am here quite late, I had come home and CRASHED!! I do take care of myself, I KNEW I needed that first.
@Kurtize ,, WOOHOO on the computer being fixed!! How are you feeling? Hardwood floors are GORGEOUS!! Colder in the winter. I face the north and west. When a snowstorm hits us in the winter from the west, OH MA DOES IT GET SO COLD!!! SO COLD!!! I've learned to turn the heat up higher than normal 8 to 12 hours before a storm hits from the west.
@Novembergail,, LOLOLOL I AM SO SORRY BUT, Billie,, OH BILLIE!! Your stories dearest Billie are becoming more. For your POOR MOM her life is shorter, but golly she has A TON OF BILLIE STORIES!!! LOLOL OH BILLIE GAL!! OH BILLIE!! Gail we miss you also. SURE HOPING you'll RUN home at the end of the challenge!! Now Gail here's your Izzy story for the day.
As you can see I had my GGS today (he didn't have school today) who's 5. Izzy kitty cat is STILL SO JEALOUS Of him!! We had gone for a walk, I WORE HIM out having him run and run and run circles around me. LOL I do this on purpose of course. We came back in, all he wanted to do was climb up on my lap to watch the computer. Izzy at ONCE ALSO had to climb up. I was laughing Izzy is on my A LOT, but when she saw him ON HER LAP well that did NOT FIT WELL!! Of course once she was up, she ALSO wanted HIS FULL attention. He did pat her for a tiny bit, she fell asleep.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a great day. I am packing to go to my boyfriend's parents again this weekend. It is my birthday weekend. I will be 43 on Sunday. I cannot wait to see what my boyfriend is doing for this weekend. He just says we are having Birthday dinner on Friday. So we will see. He swears he has nothing else planned. I am just glad to be away from the house for a weekend.
@cormierannie - It was windy yesterday here too. Not super rainy though. It was a decent day,
@LindieMaeP - I brought a little space heater to work to keep warm and it was actually comfortable while I was working. One of the co workers brought a larger space heater and it warmed the whole office up a bit in combination of all the other heaters.
@bookieNJ - I cannot stand to sit there and do nothing. I have to be doing something.
@Kurtize - Yay on the computer being fixed. That was pretty fast.
@NovemberGail - Oh Wow. I hope you and the dog are ok. That is very nerving and scary.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Nope did not get to go home. They allowed us to bring in space heaters though. I am so glad you get to spend time with your GGS. Those days are always great I am sure.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you have a great day.

Good morning all, I slept in an extra 30 minutes today. I have been so tired lately. Not sleeping well at all. My acid reflux is really bad. Was at the doctor on Tuesday. She changed my meds around. I'm now off one and going to try another. I did get my steps in yesterday and drank all my water.

good morning everyone. it is a mostly cloudy and cool day here today. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i went for a short run this morning and i enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing after supper. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.1

Good morning folks, it's a lovely day here and rain tomorrow, so excited for rain of all things ( I hate getting wet, so I KNOW I won't be going out to dance in it!).
@Tabatha_Cain so glad you had a form of heat! and the space heaters did the job necessary. Hope today is a good day for you as well. Sounds like your real excited for the weekend !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 ahhh sweet pic of ggs and kitten too ! Treasure those pictures - I do mine of me and Charise ( i pronounced as long e) now she is making me jewelry and I am enjoying wearing them !!
The polar bears come in different colours and the day of the family picnic my daughter was wearing one that changes colour by heat! was interesting and so cute. They have their first craft show next month - an Xmas one - so they are making lots of jewelry and stuff to sell there.
@NovemberGail courage is a good word to do, we all need courage to change our lifestyle to a healthy one, to do things we never thought we could do, like change our lifestyle to a healthy one and to help us accomplish things in these difficult days. Thanks and I hope Billie is too tuckered to get into mischief today !!!
@majork29 I can so relate to reflux keeping one awake, I get terrible reflux from certain foods and when I get an inkling that it is acting up, that good old gavasgone comes out and does it's job. A friend of mine had it bad as well and their doctor suggested that the head of the bed be raised and on a slant to help with the reflux, not having an adjustable bed, her husband put it on blocks to help her. I thought, Ingeneous ! I need my foot end of bed to be raised for swelling LOL I hope the meds help, but also hope you are able to track down what gives you the acid reflux to begin with. I found when I iliminated the foods that gave it to me, I managed much better. Course not all is from food. Anxiety and stress can cause reflux issues too. I hope you have a better night's sleep tonight.
@everyone have a wonderful thursday today and enjoy what you have planned.

Good afternoon all, hope your day is going well. Picked up my computer this morning, it is working great, what a difference. Heard from my doctor, since there is severe spinal stenosis he is referring me to a neurosurgery specialist. So now just waiting for that appt.
It is 78 right now, very nice, in 50's this morning. I like this weather. Have a great rest of the day, hugs and blessing. Patti glad your doing great.

@Dianedoessmiles1: Oh, Diane, Izzy and your GGS are beautiful. Love Izzy's personality. When I read all that you did, I got tuckered out. Most of my day is in solitude and that much people time would do me in.
@Tabatha_Cain: Tabatha, enjoy your birthday weekend. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
@LindieMaeP: The jewelry is cute. They will sell quite a bit.
ANOTHER Billie Story~ I was out in the woods getting rid of some small stumps with a miniature chainsaw. Billie was running around like usual. She comes running through the woods with a buck after her. His head was down and I could see one antler had three points. Naturally, she's bringing him to me. I am on the ground and thinking, what do I do? I raised the small chainsaw and let it run. The buck looked up, like, 'What' and took off running the other way. She keeps me young or I will die early. Blame it on Billie.

@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Awwww ENJOY being away for the weekend and with your family(his is yours!). SWEET may you all enjoy a ton of laughter and fun. Glad you all got to bring in space heaters!! Oh that reminds me, LOL I have one I am not using, why put it for sale cheap!! I'll do it for half the price, though it's never been used. Where I live they have a very specific one we can only use, and they provided it so why not!? High rises and fires are never good! Though every unit has a nice sprinkler system.
@Patti241 ,,, Enjoy that warmer weather, as you can!
@majork29 ,,, I did acupuncture which my insurance did cover since it was done by a MD . It was billed as an office visit (I went many times) I did have to pay for the needles (15 to 20 now) ONLY so I was thrilled!! It took CARE of the acid reflux. I also had it to help with sleep and pain. It DID break my pain cycle!! It broke the pain cycle so well my own Dr went into the field also! She was so happy watching patients who had been on pain meds for years (I was one of them) go to needing NONE and resuming life. It was so cool!! I'm not sure if you live in an area where this may be available, it's largely still UNKNOWN here it's available because so many want it, it's not talked about. Though of course those of us who have benefited sure do let others know. I have a few friends who have also gone and have the same results. At first I could not eat anything spicy , have chocolate, etc. the normal for acid reflux, but now? ANYTHING I want as long as I do not do chocolate 4 hours before bed. I've stopped craving it. Before that if I used a wedge pillow it helped with the acid reflux. I DO sleep much better, though now I am in heart failure so I am up some nights 2 times, other nights 4 times due to the pee pills.
@Cormierannie,,, nice day for a run indeed!!
@LindiemaeP ,,,Awww I want a video of you dancing in the rain!! When/if you come back to the PS4L team you'll see LOL for the Spotlight some of us are making videos. I HAVE NO DOUBT you can teach stuff about that!! SO COOL how you are with computers etc. My GD also makes jewelry too! This time of year yes her sales are sky high too!! Hope Charise, does very well. Have you tried a wedge pillow for your acid reflux? Above I had talked about what helped me to GET RID of mine.
@Kurtize, what is spinal stenosis? I found out on my Monday my osteoporosis T Score is -3.4 equivalent to that of an 85 year old woman. YO!! I hope the neurosurgeon can help you!! OUCH!!!
@novembergail,, LOL by the end of yesterday I crashed, last night I slept very well. Today ALL I did was go grocery shopping which was only 40 mins in total including the walking down (that took about 15 mins total of going down and back). So yes I didn't pick up much though I did a 24 pack of water, those aren't light, but still slightly doable. When I can't any longer where I shop they'll help me out. Awww when I get home, I'll just cut open the package and put them away bit by bit. Awww Izzy is such a gentle sweet little thing. She's on my lap as I type away, LOL so well she didn't get my LAP part but, she also likes sleeping on my legs, and I allow that.
HAHAHAHA OH BILLIE! OH BILLIE!! LOLOLOLOL OH BILLIE GAL!! WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOU??? LOLOLOL If a book were written about her, NO doubt it'd be a best seller!!3 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope all is going well for everyone this morning. Today is the start of my Birthday weekend and I have officially been at my job a month today. I am super excited about it. I am hoping that I get all my stuff about my dental and vision insurance as well as the life insurance that I am going to purchase from Farmers. I really want to get some stuff taken care of. I need the dental and vision insurance for sure.
@majork29 - Glad you are getting your doc to switch your meds to something that will hopefully work for you. Yay on getting your steps in.
@cormierannie - I love going for jogs. It is really nice. It burns up some energy that I need burned up
@LindieMaeP - Love the cute jewelry. I have GERD so I take meds for acid reflux as well. So far my med has worked well for me. I do notice a difference if I miss a dose.
@Kurtize - Glad you have a diagnosis. Now you can see the specialist and get a course of action. That is great. Hope they don't take to long getting you in to see the specialist.
@NovemberGail - That Billie is always causing mischief. Such a cute dog though so it might be worth it.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is True. Fires are never a good thing. The heat has been fixed now as far as we can tell. Lets hope it stays that way. I did leave my little space heater there just in case.
Well it is time for some breakfast. I hope you all have a great day.

Today is a PD Day fro my girl. So she will be home all day. I also have to take the kittens for there vet check and shots. Going to be a busy day. Weather wise it is going to be a nice day again today. But tomorrow we may have some snow. Today I will be pulling the last of my outdoor plants.
@LindieMaeP thanks for the advice on reflux. Mine is caused by long time use of medications for my ankyosing spondalitus, it's not food related, I so wish it was. Last night it was better. I got some sleep.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I tried accupencture a while ago for the reflux and pain management. It only offered minor relief so we disconitued it.3 -
good morning everyone! it is a beautiful sunny day here today. it is going to be mild and mainly sunny weather for the next several days here. my daughter says hi to everyone! both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i did a strength training workout earlier this morning and i enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing to 80s music later on. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.1

Good morning everyone, I sure hope you all are enjoying your Friday and getting ready for your weekend too ! We FINALLY have ☂️🌧️☂️🌧️😁so I am happy about that, I just hope it is a slow and steady rain and not hard and heavy as the ground and trees would not be able to handle it, right now it looks more like a drizzle, and that is good.
@Tabatha_Cain, glad you got heat back on in the building and good move to leave the space heater there just in case - enjoy your weekend and have a lot of fun !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 I find 2 things will trigger my acid reflux, eating too late at night and constipation. I have not had that problem for a while so it just happens once in a while now. One issue I am having still is with my left hip flexor, any suggestions? Nothing seems to be helping. Of course the right leg issue is still the same, the thigh still goes numb after 10 minutes. Last night at the river had to sit because it went numb, but I got good shots of things !! This weekend I am working on lowering my bed, I will see if the wheels can come off the bed frame, if not, I will just remove the frame completely and just have the box spring and mattrice - it is getting hard and harder to get into bed LOL the joys of being short. Amigo loves this bed and that will help him as well. Plus I want to move a recliner in my room so I can sit in it and recline while watching the convention music videos at jwlibrary. So some change coming this weekend for sure, will be busy, rain or no rain and NO I am NOT dancing in a cold rain LOL
@macrat12 that is a good modivational quote - yes yesterday is gone, don't look back, look forward!
@majork29 thank you for explaining your situation. I looked it up, wow, that is not fun at all. I hope the new meds do work for you and not have an impact somewhere else ! Glad you got some sleep last night, I did not want to get out of bed today LOL
@everyone, have a wonderful Friday and slide on down to the weekend eh !! Keep it real, keep it healthy, keep it safe !!

@Tabatha_Cain ,,,ENJOY Being away this weekend!! I hope it's a ton of fun as you all continue to get to know each other. AWESOME On the insurance!! HUGE HELP indeed!! Hopefully you'll not have to wait long for an appointment. Please be careful traveling.
@Patti241 ... I THINK the local news said some areas of Maine will hit 70 Saturday, I did burst out laughing. ARE ALL Weather persons so HOPEFUL daily of "Breaking a record"? Are they all so HAPPY when a storm hits? Ever since 1998 when they had forecasted a storm, but it wasn't going to be a bad one. It was in January, but the storm suddenly over New England turned into a super storm. We had the worse ice storm on record. Most of the New England states had no electricity. Our area was also hit very hard. When entire cities are suddenly without power in the dead of winter, that's never good. I DID keep mine where I lived, but i was one of the few. Hence soon after that most high rises in the city here put in generators so we'd at least have heat.
@Majork29,, Awwww kittens!!??? I keep looking at them on the local shelter page, they are so CUTE!! SOVERY CUTE!! I do not think AT ALL Izzy would be impressed if I brought any home. She's been the only kitty for 11 years, that'd not be fair. Awwww she's such a lovely cat so I do not mind. How did they do at the vets? Medications can absolutely wreck havoc with our bodies!! So sorry you go through a lot.
@Cormierannie,,, Nice about the days of good weather!! We know you'll enjoy them and do the exercising you love so much. WTG
@Lindiemaep ,,, WOOHOO on the rain!! ENJOY it!!! Sometimes it's just nice to be inside and warm. Okay I GOTTA Ask, how tall are you? I am 5'2.25" LOL Hey every bit helps!!! I WAS 5'4 1/2" but that's gone!! These 2 guys are so AWESOME in helping out with pain!! They're on youtube so it's FREE to boot and we can do them at home!! Instead of giving you one of their exercise, here's the page of suggestions so you can tailor it to what you need. I often first watch the "Why the pain in __" then I'll watch the how to untighten the muscles, ligaments etc. HUGE help for so many things I go through.

Hi my airport friends, wishing you a wonderful day. It's 77 outside, slight breeze and absolutely beautiful out. Love this weather.
@majork29 - Have you seen a dr about your heart burn. I also have severe heartburn, not as much as at first because I am on medication. I started with it in the 90's by 2004 it had turned into Barrettes Syndrome, one step from cancer of esophagus. Heart burn isn't something to fool with. I feel for you.
@Dianedoessmiles1 loved the pictures
@LindieMaeP- loved your picture and the bears, how neat that is
@Tabatha_Cain - glad you got heat and enjoy your birthday weekend, Happy, Happy Birthday

@Kurtize,, OH 777 is simply TO HOT for me this time of year!! LOLOL I so much so am looking forward to snow falling, THOUGH not cleaning off the car. We'll figure that out! LOL LOVE the dogs expression!!
@Lindiemaep ,,, Ahhhh you are taller than a friend, well she INSISTS she's not lost height. I am not to sure. But, she's tougher than I am, so SHE WINS!! LOLOL!! I hope the links help you. Nothing is worse pain that never ends. WOOHOO I THINK I am CAUGHT UP On the computer!! YEAH I can NOW go and work on my painting!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!4 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I know I haven't been around in awhile. Life has been crazy and beyond. Monday after work my sister called, my son had one of what we will call his episodes. So rushed down there to help deal with it and bring him back to my house. He went home on Wednesday night. Still had to work this week as well. Wednesday night after work I had a break down at my friend's and Hubby had to come get me. Thursday morning I woke up and cried until Hubby made me get dressed and go with him to the eye doctor so I wasn't home alone. He then took me to a couple stores just to keep me distracted. On our way home we stopped at McDonald's as I had not eaten probably in days and he just wanted me to eat. I struggled through the dinner shift at work and probably shouldn't have gone in but couldn't be at home thinking either. Today was pay day so that was good. They still owe me for Saturday when I got called in so it will be on my next check. I did some errands after visiting with my son's aunt from his dad's side. Today's food choices were very unhealthy but that's ok. Back on track tomorrow. Not sure how often I will be checking in but I will try to be in more often as things calm back down.
I did skim through all the posts.2 -
@Cseguin2 ,, Oh hon it's not easy that's for sure. I am so sorry things are at this point out of some control. I hope S is better and able to do what he needs so things are better for him. As a Mom anytime the kids (In my case A stand in Mom) are not doing well, it affects also sometimes in an unhealthy manner. Do what you can, because right now its WAY MORE important hon you take care of you!! I am glad you finally got paid though!! We care.3

Enjoy your weekend...
