    Mary--Thank your for family's donation to childhood cancer. What a Blessing,
    Karen--our bank does not charge a fee for low balance as we have an over 60 account. If you are putting your name on his account maybe you could get something like that.
    Viv--Good for you on getting the bill for your mom's broadband/landline. And for fixing the shower cubicle. Better than I could of done .
    Rosemarie--Great news on the cartaker. Pray she stays as good as time goes by.
    Ginny--Glad the MRI report is positive for good news.
    Machka--For the most part I would rather stay home, but most the time once I get going I do enjoy myself. It was a busy weekend and then yesterday after the church picnic we went to help DS cut down dead trees to clear off a lot. He has promised to do it for a friend (She hired him) and then said it would have to be another day. Made me mad as she was so upset so I told him I was going to go over and start. He did show up and I followed him around while he cut them down and pulled them over to the trailer to be loaded. After about an hour I said I was done as he was the one getting paid not me. At least he got a start, but it is a several day job. I told him not to make promises he can not keep. I knew he would show up if he knew his dad and I would be there. I am sore today as not used to that kind of labor.
    Lisa--Good Luck to your DD and her blended family. It takes work, but when 2 people are working together it makes it worth it.
    Rita--Glad you are doing well and staying busy. Good news about DS also.
    Heather--Glad that Edie did so well and overcame her fear. We could take a lesson from her.
    KJ--I agree with the others and think you need to have it checked out. Not normal.
    Debbie--Happy Anniversary. Hope you get your a lone time soon just to talk and remember.
    Have tomorrow off to go to doctor and have my yearly pap and stuff. Really like my doctor for this as she is female and delivered several of my DGC and DGGC.
    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    Late night snacking showed in an extra pound and a half yesterday morning. Next time I want to chomp something it’s not going to be biscotti, maybe a carrot? :laugh:

    Alas, just learned I should have started my violas in July to get blooms by Oct 31. Ah well, next year.

    First step in shake the sugar challenge, honey in tea instead of sugar. Not a sweet for a few more calories but I’ll give it the ol’ college try.

    Heather Edie’s accomplishment amazes me. Even if there had been such events in my childhood, wild horses could not have dragged me away from my books. Bravo to your DS too!
    Ginny neither have I been happy with our (Kroger’s) Fred Meyer’s produce, but the Farmer’s market hasn’t been any better. Looking very forward to trip this week to Trader Joe’s.
    Lanette freezer purge minestrone sounds delish.
    Katla the humming birds say “Hi!”
    Lisa :laugh: What I remember about Heinlein’s solipsism was the old saw about the earthworm who met another earth worm and declared “I love you!” The other replied “Don’t be silly, I’m your other end… “ Yes I’d imagine it would be VERY hard to resist using your superpowers :naughty:
    Beth ((hugs))
    Rori oh noo. Hope the foot heals quickly.
    Terri interesting Wikipedia article on the Bramleys.
    KJ know the expense is an issue but hope you can squeeze a gyn visit out from your budget, sooner rather than later.

    Only through pg 44 but time to leave for line dancing.

    Done:
    9/18: Move: 2 sets pt, dogs to powerlilne, 42 mins play with plants. active mins:260 steps:6351
    Fuel: plants (running count for week) so far:13+1+7+4+3+2+3=33! almonds, apple, artichoke, basil, beans-cannellini, beets, cabbage, cacao 70%, carrots, celery, coffee, corn-kettle corn, cucumber, lemon curd, lettuce-red leaf, maple syrup, mint apple jelly, parsley, peanut butter, pecans, pepper-sweet orange/red, pistachios, potato, radish, romaine, soy veggie sausage, spinach, tomato sauce/juice, watercress, watermelon, wheat-Eng muffin/tortilla/pizza crust, tea. CI<CO=407
    Live: Joe, readings, BP, church and council, hummingbird nectar.
    Wt:
    Lighter, lovelies!

    Barbara— Give the hummingbirds a sugar water feeder for me. I am far from home, but my neighbor will be sure the hummingbird feeders are tended.

    DH and I are currently in Illinois. He is in the hospital because of a heart attack and will be transferred. Our daughter is working to get him into a nursing facility to recover, hopefully close to me.

    Rori - Hope the foot is better soon!

    Katla - <3

    For the last few years, when I've felt well enough, I've looked for videos, DVDs, classes, something that I could use as a shortcut back to getting back in shape, and failed miserably--because they don't know my body. I do. I actually never did like someone else telling me what my body should be able to do. But I loved dancing and creating step aerobics routines that worked for me, low impact, high result.

    This afternoon, I got this achy little body moving for 20 solid minutes, for the first time in months. Not high calorie burn, but that will come with time. I can't believe I forgot.

    Ah - Corey just pulled in. Pizza for dinner--two separate ones made to our own personal taste. Need to get the dough put together.

    Love y'all,
    Lisa in AR

    Rori-sometimes injuries just haunt u.

    Lisa- you are correct-just get some movement that makes you happy. My walks do that for me. You keep dancing!

    Pip-it is nice having a handyman husband. While I have discovered I can do many of things my husband did, I wouldn't mind an extra set of hands at times!

    Today seemed long. Had to deal with some personnel stuff at work, some policy stuff, some money stuff. I think the bonding back and forth got to me. Tomorrow looks to be more of the same. Woke a bit after 4 am this morning-hope to sleep better tonight.

    Take care all,

    Debbie best anniversary wishes to you. Hope your DH finds his 2nd CPAP and finds his way to give you the gift you most want. Lovely wedding pics.
    Lisa bravissima! 20 minutes is 20 minutes. ;)
    Pip can Kirby replace chipped bathroom sinks? When can he come over?
    Katla sounds like your DH is progressing well enough to transfer. Hope its close to you. Shoping? Sounds like you’re settling in.

    Shake the sugar challenge is sure an eye opener. Added sugar in my spicy pecans and TJ’s coconut strips. Oh well, at least I gave honey a try in my morning’s tea.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    He probably could replace a sink. He replaced our toilets.

    Got to exercise this morning!!! So did Denise Austin Quick Burn Cardio DVD then took a walk around the block. Actually, I did some jogging and then walking at parts. The plan for tomorrow after work is to go to the gym and do a Body Pump DVD.

    Heather – where does the time go??? It seems like just yesterday that you were making the christening cake

    Debbie – happy anniversary! You made a beautiful bride. You made your dress! Stunning

    Came back from ceramics, will probably work some on the jigsaw puzzle

    Lisa – many times I modify the DVD. Like I want low impact. So I modify. Also, I was told to avoid lunges and things like that because I fractured a bone in my foot so now it’s weak. Putting stress on it might very well cause it to fracture again. So I do pushups etc. on my knees. I know I physically have the ability to do them on my toes, but I won’t take the chance. It just isn’t worth it.

    Katla – so glad dh is being transferred. Is the rehab place closer to you?

    Heather - it’s a shame DH’s daughter won’t be visiting, but a date out of it is wonderful.
    Rodger made supper for me again tonight. Twice in two weeks. I am shocked and regretting not buying an air fryer 4 years ago when he started mentioning it.

    Rosemarie - I am a Coca Cola drinker as well. I had quit completely for 2 years and need to stop again. When I’m stopping I know I have to go a solid month or more before even allowing myself one while dining out or having pizza.

    Carla - I am so happy for you!

    Karen - I hope that she makes good, but it’s concerning that she already had a complaint.

    We have a large antique mall in the city and I searched their website to see if they buy as well. They have a spot on their website where you can upload photos of your items and if any of their numerous vendors can contact you if they are interested. I think that will be my Sunday project.

    Margaret- good job on passing up the bargains. I need to start doing that too.

    Heather - What a joy for you to go through. I felt your excitement in your writing.

    Vicki - it sounds like a nice weekend ahead.

    Barbara - I struggle stopping bringing things home and also getting rid of them. In the last two or three months I have purchased two Avon Bottles that I had when I was a young lady. I know Mom threw my original ones out.
    I don’t know why Avon doesn’t bring those bottles out of retirement. With the vintage popularity right now, they would make a mint.

    Lanette - we use ground coffee in our reusable pod. I stopped buying the pods because they are so expensive!

    Sue - I decorated for Fall a couple of weekends ago. I love decorating for the seasons.

    Allie - watching your friend record would be peaceful I bet.

    Ginny - hope your have a mild reaction if you can’t get by with none.

    Our youngest daughter tested positive for Covid yesterday. She said she’s tired and achy today but has no fever so it’s much better than yesterday.

    Machka - I love your colouring.
    My husband needs that meme only to say YouTube instead of Google.

    Lisa - that will be a lot of blending, but I think the right people together can do it. Congratulations to your daughter.

    Way to go Edie!!!!🏆

    Barbie - getting the vaccines so effortlessly is wonderful.

    Kelly - I am with you on men cooking. We have been married 35 years and since the air fryer came into the house though, Rodger has made dinner for me twice. He does make his own breakfast and lunches and right now we only get to eat 2 suppers and 2 breakfasts a week. So I can’t complain.

    YouTube has good videos on the use of Excel. I have had to search some functions I had to use in years and they were helpful.

    I think you need to make a Drs appointment to make sure things are ok.

    Rori - I hope your foot heals soon.

    Allie - are they giving 5th doses there? We are still on 4. I am not eligible until January because I had Covid in August.

    Michele - how long will it take you to decorate now? When do your lights and such get turned on?

    Debbie - happy anniversary!
    We are not in touch with any of our attendants.
    I still speak to everyone that I have ever stood up with. Even the divorced ones. Lol

    Vicki - I hope your son continues the job without you having to step in.

    Lisa - my exercise therapist told me that even if you move one minute more than you could it’s an improvement. I have a lot less pain days since I started listening to her.

    I make two pizzas as well. It also gives us leftovers for our lunches.

    Pip - your new set is the same as mine.

    I’ve been reading along each evening and gotten interrupted before I could post. I’ll catch up tomorrow again.

    Watched the coverage of the funeral on BBC in between chores and exercise. There was an eerie silence outside because there was so little traffic in our town, and not a soul on the street. There were some church bells ringing during the day.

    It was a fitting farewell to a remarkable woman. The legendary British pomp and pageantry with all it’s glitz and glamour made spectacular viewing.

    Heather: Enjoy every minute of your grands. They will grow so quickly.

    Debbie: 🍾🥂Happy Anniversary 🥂🍾

    🥳🎉 Cheers to all those celebrating.

    Virtual (((hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

    🙋‍♀️ Miele failte to the newbies.

    Hi all!
    Expecting the window men in 15 mins or so. Hope they can do something and it doesn't cost too much. :#

    I'm picking up Bea on my own today as DH is at cricket. His buddy rang this morning to say his wife has tested positive for covid, but he is still going to go and they can distance as it is outside. ;) The reason he gave is that he had paid for the hotel! They have just returned from a tour of Israel with her church. I hope DH is sensible. We both had covid in July, so I'm not desperately worried, but I'm surprised that his friend thinks it is OK to stay in the hotel.

    Yesterday's haggis went fine. Food was delicious, but, of course, my son was stiff and sore from the triathlon. He was not able to put up the grab bar by the bath, but that's fine. I always feel a little frustrated at the conversation we do/don't have. I think I always expect too much. It's light and easy, but he really doesn't want to go deeper.

    We didn't watch the funeral, but I chose to watch the highlights on the 10 pm news. I enjoyed the Guardian distillation of the funny Twitter feeds. :p
    My son seemed to have enjoyed it. He loved the music.

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Update - two very nice guys came round and the bad news is - they CAN'T repair the windows. :'(
    The good news is, I won't have to pay out money for it.
    I'm not in a position to replace the whole thing, so it's status quo again.

    Oh well ......... Feeling a bit tearful.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    DH will be transferred to a rehab facility today. Our daughter will take me to see him later in the day. Earlier today I plan to go shopping for cottage cheese, my favorite breakfast choice. I also hope to find some decorative items for the apartment.
