I had a pretty nice day on Sunday!! In the AM of course I tied into my congregation meeting. I WANTED to go in person, but when I stood up it was an NAHHHHhhhhh let's sit right back down!! After meeting if you are still on ZOOM you can chat with each other. We go into breakout rooms so each person can feel welcomed. Shyer people (Hmm that's NOT ME! LOL) are able to be seen and heard. We had 5 in our room, this time we were all talkers, that was fun. After that this afternoon a friend came over to help me some. Another one came over to watch "THE GAME" we shan't talk about the END of it, but!! We had another friend by phone "with us" we were laughing so hard with the 3 of us. Lynda and I was quick witted, and Terry's laughter is infectious!! So we LOVE having her with us!! After Terry left, and Lynda hung up my GD called me that turned into a 2 hour phone call. LOL my GGS had to talk to Grandma of course, awwww I am SURE those days are LIMITED once he gets a little bit older and it'll be "HI GRANDMA! I am GOING OUTSIDE!" Thankfully they live in an area the kids can really play!! There are about 6 to 8 kids who play together on and off. I am SO GLAD he's one of them!! Kids should be outside.
After that I FELL ASLEEP so here I am just check in at almost 3 AM!! YO!! That sleep though earlier means I am NOT tired right now, however I need to shuffle on off and get tired!!
SEE YA in a bit later today. Have you all turned in your time to help your team plane land? If you are however on FIT FORCE you do not have to.
LOL Fit Force and Positively Strong 4 Life(I am the CL challenge leader/Captain of the Positively Strong 4 Life, and @Retired_Sue is the CL /Captain of Fit Force, way back Sue and I were co leaders on the Awesome A team. Hence the teasing and more so the SUPPORT we give to each other @Tabatha_Cain LOL you can tell Sue. LOL Tabatha is a leader on Fit Force) teams have been back and forth on who's the #1 team. Now of course it's ALL in good fun!! ALL TEAMS have their nitch, their own flavor, each and every team strives for the SAME EXACT GOAL and that's to helps it's members be healthy. NOT all teams have the same amount of weight to lose, not all teams empathize exercise, ALL TEAMS do work on the LTGL (Living The Good Life AKA healthy habits) and ALL TEAMS are very special. Over time we all make friends on our teams, that's so neat!! AND OF COURSE right here many of us visit this feed daily or semi daily and we've drawn close to and support each other. MY TY TY TO EACH OF YOU be it this is your first time coming here, or like some of us we've been doing this since we came over to MFP from Sparkpeople in August of 2020.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. Today is Monday and we are back at it. Getting ready for work soon and then relaxing a bit before going to work. I have 2 jobs and I am hoping to be able to get started at my new job soon. I know by new boss is off work today and he wanted everything finished by Tuesday so I am assuming I will start sometime this next week. I do however need to tell him that I am not able to start this weekend and that I will be gone but I can start on Monday next week if he would like. We will see where he can fit me in.
@NovemberGail - I did not even think to do the nail soaking on olive oil. Tonight I have to change my nail polish. I might give that a try. It has been the same color for a week
@LindieMaeP - I hope you get a new stove soon. I did not realize there were so many uses for olive oil
@CSEGUIN2 - That is good that the pain has gone down. I would be worrying if it had not.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Sounds like you had a full day. I have been on the same team my entire career with 5% challenge. Started out as the Awesome A's. I wouldn't change anything. I love my team.
Well it is time to get some food before work. I hope you all have a great day.

@enjoys - Dee, Thank you for the final IBC stats. Thank you for helping us get through the Christmas holidays!
You are a great leader! 🦋4 -
@Tabatha_Cain,,, did the new job agree to work around this weekend? We are so happy you are on the Fit Force (was Awesome A) team!!! Clearly you are well loved!!! We easily see why!
@Patti241,,, HI Patti!! Did you get outside today?
@Macrat12,, HI Sarah!! Nice job!
@Lindiemaep ,, Aww they are so CUTE!! ADORABLE!!
@MawMaw1941 ,, isn't @DNjoys (Dee) GREAT!!??? We love working with her!!3 -
Good afternoon everyone, busy day here, playing detective and trying to find out what happened to our rent increase notice that we are sure we did NOT get. But since it's gone through nothing we can do but accept. Our rent is now below market value for what we have so we will just leave it at that. Now that stove needs to get fixed! BUT I do have a micro and airfryer in the meantime so not difficult to warm up foods.
@Tabatha_Cain is your new job selling products too, or something else ? So now you have 3 things on the go, don't spread yourself out to thinnly now, you need time for you and family too. Are things still going good at the current job ? Yes olive oil is quite versatile!
@Dianedoessmiles1 I thought folks would like that story - oh and the kittiens in the cat stroller hiding from Monday was cute too LOL
Gene wanted to go to walmart for food and I said we have enough here, just warm something up and call it a day. Smells like he has LOL it's not a burning smell anyway. I hope he did not find my short ribs LOL Oh well if he did !! Are you feeling better Diane? When do you go to the doctors to discuss all your issues ? I go on the 18th, I've been having some dissying moments - usually getting up or getting down kinda thingy. We will see.
Have a good evening everyone !!

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cold but mostly sunny with a few flakes this morning. By the time I got to bed last night it was past midnight so only got 5.5 hrs of sleep. Son had to be at the oral surgeon by 8:20 for his wisdom teeth removal. He was quite funny. But wouldn't stop talking. Had troubles getting the cotton in when changed it and bleeding was a little out of control by the time I got back from getting his pain med prescriptions. Called the office and they told me what to do and thank God it worked. During the complication I decided that I didn't feel comfortable going to work even though it's close by. Expecially when Hubby and Son didn't call me when the bleeding seemed worse. So instead I got some dishes and studying done. It was nice to be able to cook dinner at home even if it wasn't the healthiest. Had to be soft food that Son could eat.2 -
@Lindiemaep ,, Aww they are so CUTE!! ADORABLE!! Hopefully by Weds I'll hear from the neurosurgeon, he's been on vacation. CAN'T BLAME HIM!! If he's a skier NOW IS THE TIME!! Or oohhhhh Caribbean cruise!! LOL I don't care what he does, he saves to many lives. Will be good to know if he finds anything there. LOL WELL he'll find an unused brain, but! Hope you get the stove soon.
@Cseguin2,,, Oh you clearly EARNED the time off!! Glad you got some studying done your exam will be up soon. We have ZERO DOUBT you'll EASILY PASS!!! Hope S bleeding is all under control for the night and onward.3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 nope no new stove, they gonna fix this one, fine by me. I have no desire to learn the new computerized stoves these days. Glad you are patient about hearing from the neurosurgeon. My cousins just came back from a Caribbean cruise, interesting pictures too, Well I have done resistance training every other day now for a week. I mark it on the calandar so I can see what day is next. I'll do some on Wednesday most likely in the morning.
@CSEGUIN2 yes good for you to take the day off and make sure your S is ok. And men don't really think the way women do, most times. Hope you and your S are feeling better soon!3 -
The morning started out with a beautiful frost. This afternoon I went to the hand surgeon and got good news. He gave me cortisone for my two trigger fingers that may heal them. If not, in another two months I will get two ore shots. Then if that doesn't work, surgery might be needed.
Seeing that a number of us are having our share of health issues, tomorrow's words are healing and power. Trusting to God to care for all our needs ~
Good catching up (but tonight I am not going to add comments).

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday. It is the weird day of the week. Nothing really important with this day but still a lot going on. Today I should get my schedule for the new job to get started. Then I will go out and get my non-slip shoes for the job. They will be giving me the shirt and hat but I will have the pants and shoes. Then I can work as often as I can.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - They did agree to work me every other weekend. I told them I am out of town every other weekend. I am excited.
@LindieMaeP - That is good that you have other devices to warm things up with. No my job is just a part time job to help me pay for the wedding and get my bills squared away after the wedding. So the new job is just a fast food job.
@CSEGUIN2 - Glad you were able to get the bleeding under control. Getting wisdom teeth out is no joke.
@NovemberGail - Those are good words. We all need healing and power.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.

Diane: I was able to get outside a little bit yesterday. Getting ready to go for my walk shortly.2

good morning everyone! it is a mostly cloudy day here today. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i just found out yesterday that one of my aunts has passed away. i have been spending extra time with my family since i first found out she was really sick. she is no longer in pain and is at peace. she was a wonderful, kind lady who will be really missed by the whole family. i went for a short run earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will definitely be doing some dancing later on. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.3
-
@Lindiemaep ,, Glad they are going to fix your stove, I like the newer stoves. You are very computer savvy if they went that way, you'd be fine fast. My stove is fine thankfully. I have NO CHOICE LOL but, to be patience with the neurosurgeon and if something had come up I think I'd of gotten a call anyways by now. Nice job on the resistance bands. I over did on mine last Thursday. But that just shows I need them, only not as many reps and I hadn't done many!
@Novembergail,, what a GORGEOUS Pic!! SO PRETTY!! I hope the shots help you out.
@jeanhickokhaley ,,,So very very true!! When we are grateful it picks up our spirit.
@DNjoys, I LOVE working with you and @Ceriusly1 and @Catwmncat too!! The IBC is fun, a little more relaxed, yet it's busy too!
@Tabatha_Cain,, HAVE FUN at the new job. You had put "its just a fast food" well true true, in that it's fast food. But, with the right crew it can be so much fun along with hard work. You have such a fun personality and are a hard worker, it should go fine. I am glad they are flexible with the hours too!! WTG Tabatha!
@Patti421 ,,, Patti do you have your phone with you when on the walk? Ever take any pics?
Here's the pic out of my window right now. It's so pretty!
@Cormierannie,, I am so sorry to hear about your aunt. That's very hard. The one who mostly kept us together passed away last year. It was so strange, how at her funeral there are 3 siblings left, 2 where there (one lives LOL In Alaska and he's sick, we knew he'd not be here) there were 6 kids (siblings) in all. Yet not many were there. I wasn't impressed by MY OWN Siblings not being there. She loved us all so much. Granted one of my brothers TRIED to be, his plane did not board, but he kept on trying. Families aren't what they were growing up! I hope your family stays close.3 -
What Fear Truly Is By Akshay Nanavati
Fear is not your enemy. Fear is your friend. Embrace it, welcome it and push past it to find your true destiny that lies waiting for you on the other side.
All growth springs forth from venturing out into the unknown. Out there beyond those fateful frontiers of your perceived limits lives your greatness. The infinite possibilities available to you in life lie waiting for you in unchartered territory. You simply have to choose to embark upon that voyage.3 -
Good afternoon folks, it's a bit sunny today, I was out for a walk around our building property and built up a sweat !! Gene and I went to Walmart this morning and just as we got home and put stuff away his aunt called and asked him if he wanted to go to Walmart with her, so off he went for the ride, he said he was not paying for anything and he did not. I think Gene wanted to get the backed chicken legs and that but they only had a whole rotissieri chicken and they wanted 10.00 for it !! He got it. lol I got my fav chocolate so I was happy about that.
@Dianedoessmiles1 enjoy tonight, I am looking forward to the Congregation book study indeed ! Pretty pretty out your way I would be down on that harbour wall walking it!
@Tabatha_Cain enjoy your part time job, just dont' eat the profits lol I am afraid if I went to fast food to work, I might just do that, eat the profits lol No you will do fine, your saving for your wedding, and you will keep that formost as you work.
@cormierannie condolences to you and your family over the loss of your aunt, it's not easy to loose any family member but a special one, always hardest.
Fear - one of the best books other then the Bible that I read was a book by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D. entitled Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway - that book was part of a job club I was in for older adults and what we covered in that impressed me enough to buy the book. I had/have a lot of fears, many people do. I don't have anywhere the fears I used to have but I still have some. Now when I fear something I turn to the Bible and Bible principles to help guide me with that fear. Each of us have our own way of dealing with fear, depending on what that fear is. I am sure others have a thought or two on it but maybe fear posting about it... see .. fear .. .. anyway, I hope all are having a good day today ... cheers Linda

@Dianedoessmiles1 -yup I totally agree with you on those romantic books. I like historical fiction, memoirs, thrillers, some mystery, fiction, lots of other stuff. I avoid sci fi, horror and fantasy. I like thinner winners because of the friendship I made. I was on cloverleafs for a long time and did leadership. I was actually on underdawgs one time-I think right before spark people ended. I remember that underdawgs jokes.2

Happy Tuesday evening all!
Today I got in an amazing 13,000 steps. The weather was incredible and Billie and I went all over the place. The shots are already helping my hands and am looking forward to more healing.
@Cormierannie: So sorry to hear about the death of your aunt.
@Tabatha_Cain: That is a good deal that they provide you with some items of clothes. A hat would be cool!
@Dianedoessmiles1: Talk about a beautiful picture. That is gorgeous.
@LindieMaeP: The chocolate sounds delicious!
Tomorrow's word is HUMOUR.
The photo is of my two cats up in their condo. I can't figure out how they managed this: you can spot two tails, two feet going backwards and one head.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was cold but partly sunny. Gained 2 lbs on the scale at TOPS. Ooops. Oh well I know what I need to do to fix it. Son is doing great. Went to bed with no pain meds and he is ready to go home tomorrow after his program that he is going to. He still has many days of healing but it's time for him to start getting back to normal.
I don't know what is up Hubby's behind but he has been a grouch when I have been home. Hopefully he snaps out of it.
Work went great tonight but it's definitely starting to sink in that I am done on Sunday.2 -
@Kurtize ,, Indeed use that fear to motivate us.
@Lindiemaep ,,, LOL Twosday. CUTE!!! Glad you got out for a walk, and hit Walmart. LOL Gene went back, but that's sweet to help her, and hey you both benefited, unless the chicken was all his? I bought chicken, soaked it over night in a honey mustard, BBQ Sauce and a little bit of Teriyaki sauce (I am going to start to make my own),along with garlic paste, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Tonight after meeting (VERY ENJOYABLE! LOL Book study was crazy with the review, but we did well! TWELVE chapters!) dipped it in an egg wash, a flour mixture of flour, baking soda, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Baked it and OH MY OH MY!! Tender as can be and SO GOOD! I do not think I'll be able to eat them any place else!
@Bookienj,,, Looks like our reading tastes are about the same!! NO WAY on horror (All I have to do is read the news) fantasy nahhhh Nooooo ,, some sci fi I am okay with though not much. I LOVED the Dawggie team. LOL We had WAY TO MUCH FUN on that team with twisting words for our own pleasure,, it was PAWSOME! TY TY TY TY for being a leader and helping the cloverleafs!! That was a neat team also.
@Novembergail ,,, Awwww the kitties are ALMOST as SPOILED as Billie!! SUCH LOVED animals!! Oh I am sure they love where you have their condo!! WOW On the steps and I AM CHEERING ABOUT YOUR PAWS//// OOPS HANDS (Gail was also a Dawggie) LOL
@Cseguin2 ,,, Glad S is feeling so much better!! That's good and back in his routine. Hopefully H will come around. WOW! The time flew by fast!! You could use a break for a little bit, though I know it's hard for work to close down their service with you all.2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and I am looking forward to the end of the week. I start my second job tomorrow. I am excited. I hope things go well. I have to call and let them know that I can also work on Friday but not Saturday. I think I will call them first thing this morning and let them know.
@cormierannie - I am so sorry for your loss.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. I am looking forward to the work. So I hope things go well Thursday when I start Thursday.
@Kurtize - Love your quotes
@LindieMaeP - Way to go on getting your favorite chocolates.
@NovemberGail - Nice that you got 13,000 steps. I would love to get 13,000 steps a day. My cats do the same thing and I am not sure how they do it either. They squeeze into that tiny spot.
@CSEGUIN2 - Sorry your hubby is being a grouch. I hope that stops soon for you.
Well it is time to get ready for breakfast. I hope you all have a great day.

Diane: No I do not take my phone. I walk around the court.2

good morning everyone! it is a mostly cloudy and cool day here today. my daughter says hi to all. she is working at her part time job after school today. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i did my strength training workout earlier this morning and i really enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing later on. i will be helping out a friend of mine today to run some errands. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2

Good morning folks, hope your having a good day and are looking forward to the weekend approaching, yup, it's hump day just slide on down to the weekend. It's a rainy cool day here, no need to go out so exercise is inside today and it is resistance training day as well, so lots to do not to mention domestic engineering. I would like to share a ytube video for women for flabby arms - they look pretty simple to do and you do not need to spend hours doing them. There are other exercises afterwards, I just skip the adds in the beginning.

@Dianedoessmiles1 yes on the congregation bible study and review - oh my it was so good! And before that the local needs, oh wow too. I bought some chicken to do an alfredo sauce with so far I like the first jar I bought but have 2 more jars to try, they are Classico and I am not really a fan of classico so maybe they have improved their products. Since Gene brought home a whole chicken, I put my other chicken in teh freezer for another time. I can use his maybe this weekend. There's some more broccoli to use up but this time I won't put as much. Today is poorman's beef stirfry - have to use up some coleslaw and beef so that will work, also have some more mushrooms for it too.
@Tabatha_Cain sounds like your really looking forward to this part time job, and since it is part time, you can always leave if it is not to your liking. Have a great day today !!
well some want blue skies, me tooo ....
That will do it !!!

@Tabatha_Cain ,, I am pretty sure I've told you I had worked at the grocery store. I started as a bagger, went to cashier and then shift lead, to the closing shift lead. I LOVED IT so much, the money was more than I had made by quite a bit for the city of Portland. They knew I was good, and they paid accordingly, but having the accounting background i knew how to make the front end closing budget the BEST!! Corporate kept wondering why one of the smallest stores was meeting budget and exceeding it. They sent in their wives (and some of the CEO's)to find out why. EASY!! I quickly who wanted to work when. If you were calling to say you'll work on a Friday evening, Oh I'd GRAB that in a SECOND!! First it makes YOU happy and hey teens LOVE a sudden Friday night off if the party is worth it (and better than the one on Saturday if that was in the works) so they'd work better for me too. I just simply knew the people under me, and went with that. You are the type of worker I LOVED to have. Appropriate compliments helped me that much more. Appreciating those under me, letting them know they worked that much harder also. It was a WIN/WIN!! I am sure you'll do great, have FUN with it!! It's so much easier then the office politics.
@Patti241,,, Sometimes I think it'd be fun to be unplugged for a little bit!! SMART letting yourself relax and just enjoy.
@Cormierannie,, you have such a great heart!!! Can we clone you? Sometimes I hop onto Youtube or facebook to watch the videos of people being nice to others. We hear so much negativity it's just a nice break.
@Lindiemaep ,,, Hehehhehehe
Linda it was very good. YO next weeks,, LOL next weeks reading. Yet it's interesting to look into, I do pity who ever has the reading though!! ENJOY the dinner and food. I'm having the rest of the chicken nuggets I made last night. OH WOW ARE THEY SUPER GOOD!! I had marinated them in a honey-mustard, BBQ, a bit of teriyaki sauce, garlic paste, with onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Dipped them in an egg wash (YO HAVE YOU ALL SEEN THE COST OF EGGS???? Today I paid for a DOZEN OF THE STORE BRAND 6.19!!! HUH??? They said on the news they'll be $10 soon!! I WILL NOT BUY them at that!) and a flour mix. OH TO DIE FOR!!

I don't post here often, but with the timing of eggs being brought up... A friend of mine did pay $9 for a dozen regular eggs this weekend and one was broken - she said she was desperate. Today she posted the link to an article on egg replacements. They are not all created equal and some are better suited for specific baked goods than others, but it might be worth a try if eggs are out of budget or out of stock (my store is having trouble keeping them in stock in spite of the high prices!)
