I went shopping again this morning, a walk to Safeway and back to get my exercise in and pick up "2" items... "11" items later, I be leaving the store, what happened to "2" ??? It got met with "9" other items that were needed - bread 2 for 6.00 - good bread, and egg white - 2 small cartons -I go through them like water really. I really only wanted the caramel rice cakes and vanilla - I did need the ohter things ( ok the onion rings coulda waited for another day but ... ) and the cheese scones I just hadda have - I freeze them to use at later dates, except one if for my lunch lol Oh and a banana ... see how easy that got outta hand ? Good thing the basket was too heavy for anything else lol
Have a wonderful Friday and a fantastic start to your weekend - have fun and enjoy what ever you have planned.

@Katiecondy1 ,, OH GF I so relate, if I need to be someplace you can be GUARANTEED I'll be on time, maybe a few mins early on leaving (LOLOL Unless my friend next door is coming, and she's 99% of the time early too, the ONE DAY she wasn't LOL I TOOK Off ,,she hadn't confirmed she was coming,, OOOOOOOHHHH THANKFULLY I saw her coming as I pulled out, so I went around the block and came back! BUT SHE WAS NOT IMPRESSED!) At our store the only way we know the "pick up" shoppers (Instacart etc) is by the shirts they wear and yes, the bags they have with them, but they use the same carts we do! WELL NO DOUBT theirs are outback which is fine. But they do not clog up the stores with wide ones. Maybe when you ,, if you do and get others to, fill out the customers surveys, ohhh those are very much listened to! Yesterday was the first time I did the pick up order, I am not well, so this was GREAT!!! Hehehehe I am less than a minute drive down. I did it for my friend also, she's only a 2-3 mins ride IF I hit that horrible red light,,,, can be 4! She lives on the main street, where I am is a smaller main street off hers. NICE SO NICE!! WOW I was so impressed!! I wanted to tip the young man, our stuff was ALL HEAVY (4 gallons of water, a 24 pack of 20 oz of water, 7 two liters of soda, 2 - 4 packs of soda and more! IT was heavy, but he was put them in the car so gently! So nicely. He had them in fast. IMPRESSED!!
Eggs are RIDICLOUS!!! AND MORE!
@Dpecora653 ,,, HI Debbie!! Spread that sunshine!
@Patti241,,, LOL Yeah well she lives in an area she knows they'll get it and get it good!! WE STILL have no real snow in the forecast,, even those who do not like it are starting to GRUMBLE!!
@Novembergail,, It helps to look at things from the other persons side, to understand not everything is ABOUT US! AND there are extenuating circumstances at times, not always, but at times for a behavior that's negative, to try to look around it, and not into the fire of it.
@macrat12,, Sarah that's a NICE looking car!! Hey CONGRATS! WOOHOO GOOO Positively Fit team!!! That chat though is CRAZY!! LOL I'll head on ovah in a bit.
@Kurtize,,,, where you affected by the storm last winter in TX that took so many out? It was so hard to see the suffering down there. So many of us here wanted to help out and be able to say "if you do this, do that, it'll be warmer" without elect etc. Sure hope that does not happen again. I know when my GGS weighed 35 lbs HE WAS ENOUGH TO CARRY!! YO!
@Lindiemaep ,,, LOLOLOL WE ALL GET THAT!!! Ohhhh I need to go back to the store, it'll wait til tomorrow. I need the stuff from the pharmacy, today it's 44 tomorrow the high will be 33. OOPS! Glad you got some yummies also.2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a great day! Got my workouts done and also even did dishes, laundry and took a nap. Oh and also got my gingerbread cookies mixed up. For dinner the residents had penne and meat sauce, salad, cream of potato soup, garlic bread and apple cookies I made for dessert. My Son showed up to spend the weekend. He has an appointment tomorrow so some of my plans will not happen. But we will see how the whole weekend goes.0 -
Happy Friday!
@DLBEASYRIDER: Your video was beautiful. I miss the ocean
The photos, video and music was good. (I don't miss the smoke in bars but there are a lot of things I miss from the good ole' days.). Your 5% Invitational video with the Rocky theme is OUTSTANDING!
@macrat12: I love the Equinox. It's been my drive for years. My boss told me to buy a car that I could live in--and that could almost be done with the Equinox. My most unusual cargo: two Newfoundland dogs that were lost. My goodness they drool (lol).
@Dianedoessmiles1: We need to start a snow collection for you. It sounds as if @catnurse1 will have a lot to send you. So far each time we're told that snow is in the forecast, the weather is more like 50 degrees. They can make that mistake all winter.
@Kurtize: good cartoon. Poor reindeer.
@katiecondy1: Would enjoy seeing quail. Something tells me the bird flu hit hard this year. We always had at least three mockingbirds and none this. Hardly any phoebes (just two) and even the juncos aren't abundant. Your experience at the store sounds frightening!
@LindieMaeP: Hope your connectivity improves!
My day was pretty normal. Billie behaved herself and Catawissa is telling me to get ready for bed. That means Cricket is going to be coming in and telling me to check the food bowl and say goodnight to him.
Tomorrow's word is kindness.

@Cseguin2,, Nice productive day!! That's great!! CONGRATS!! Sounds like the residents likely loved that meal!! WOOHOO TO THAT!! Enjoy having your son this weekend, hope it all goes very well.
@Novembergail,,, LOL yeah I want a mild snow, well once we figure out to get the snow off the car (friend is INSISTING she can do it, but she's as bad off as I am if not worse!) I'll want it. I have a bunch of neighbors if we pass them $$$ they'll HAPPILY move it for me!! Plus of course you may well remember that for years I was one of the ones who every storm used them as "MY FREE GYM DAY" with helping to clean off all 42 cars (We are a large high rise with over 80 units, but not as many drive and it's a small lot!) . Awww Billie being good!! maybe because it's cooler and you aren't out as much? Sleep well and the kitties and Billie too!! Izzy is awaiting me (she's early LOL) she just wants SNACKS!! LOL GOOBER!1 -
Thought of the day:
Don't carry your mistakes around with you,
Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones to RISE above them.
Have a SUNNY SENSATIONAL SATURDAY 1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good morning. I have a ton of stuff to get done this morning. I feel like things are not going well today. I am going to my Mom's house this morning. We have cookies to make. I just feel lost today. I am not sure why. I need to get some stuff done today. I feel lost.
@cormierannie - Today I am doing cookies from my mother's kitchen
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I hope not. I go back to work on Monday. I am hoping to be able to get stuff done. I do want to get stuff done.
@Kurtize - We got about 3 inches of snow which will probably be gone tomorrow
@LindieMaeP - That happens to me too. There is only so much I can take from the grocery store.
@CSEGUIN2 - I have so much to get done. I think it will go over well.
@NovemberGail - That is good that you had a good day. I am ready for bed as well. I need to get the food bowl done as well.
Well it is time to get ready for food. I hope you all have a great day.

Hi all from the small state of Delaware. So glad to be part of this journey. I am still trying to master MFP- and I am determined to conquer it. Love seeing old friends here and meeting new ones.1

I knew it was gonna be a jolt, but when the scale screamed Get OFF Me! I knew I was in trouble!! I have quit smoking..not too bad a jolt after being nicotine user for most of my life..started in 8th grade..seriously, it was so cool back then!! But I swear I would eat the paint off of the cabinets if I could. There is no food in the house that is safe..portion control seems to boil down to are you sick yet?? I am trying to get this evil dragon under control..but folks let me tell ya...this is a big one. Smokes have been my crutch thru many years and tears..now they are gone ..got to replace them with something besides food..even good for ya food is not good when you eat too much. Just ask my waist line..whoops I used to have one!! So being the intelligent, in control ,,adult type person I am I thought..legal issues somewhat smoothed out, adjusted to this crew that lives with me, mostly. Getting along with the rest of the family and even managing to get out and about to meet friends (usually for food!) but we do eat sensibly!! So this is a good time to throw the smokes over, right?? I hope to hear a resounding YES roll over the mountain tops and stop at my house!!! There are so many many excuses this time of year especially..all the tempting goodies,,it is too cold to go out and walk or exercise, I like to do yoga or tia chi on front deck-Shades of Road House . Not real great at following a strict pattern of Must Do..but can be pushed into a corner of ..here let's do this..trying to herd myself that way!!
To those in the frozen tundra...stay safe..those temps are dangerous as you know!!
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and finds something to give thanks for each day that passes!!
Now tis time for a nice hot cuppa....

@Dpecora653 ,,, Ahhhhhh I learn by my mistakes, some I'll repeat, LOL Some I won't. Hehehehe we are human, but why beat ourselves up for being human?
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Hon hope your day went much better then you thought it could be, Hugs from us all.
@Patti241 ,,, HI Patti!! PRETTY DAY Up here hope it is down there!
@mardeg918 ,,, SO GOOD to see here with us!!! I've not been to Delaware, I am waving to you from the state of Maine!!
@Macrat12 ,, Nice steps!!
@Katiecondy1 ,,, Oh Hon,, SUPER CONGRATS on stopping smoking!! WOOHOO!! That's GREAT!!! It'll calm down in time, for now it is as it is. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!
I Slept for 8 YES EIGHT HOURS!! WOW!! I wish I could say I feel AWESOME, but I don't, but it's PRETTY AMAZING which makes me smile so much!!! I'll take that and SMILE ALL DAY because of it no matter what my body feels, this is great!2 -
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all having a great afternoon and getting a lot accomplished even if it is just chillin in the lazyperson chair and listening to good tunes, might be something you waited all week to do!
I am afraid I did not sleep well last night and my left leg bothered me all night all the way down, most likely a nerve issue - I got up at 12 and took a tylenol arthritise but no help - eventually did get to sleep and got up at 7 AM and had 3 hours to get awake, ready for my zoom meeting with my congregation. By then I was fully awake and ready to participate! Gene just left to get some baked chicken, no idea where he is getting it from, no matter where, it will be pricey - a whole rotisary chicken at Safeway is now 14.99 my goodness I remember the last time we had the avion flu issue in chickens, the price went from 4.99 to 8.99 now it's gone up again, well that's gonna be an awfully expensive bird, but if Gene wants to pay that, so be it. I did pick up a nice Canadian maple ham and mash to have for dinner tonight but we will see, it can keep till another day.
@mardeg918 do take your time getting to know MFP and find your own short cuts. I basically stick with the groups, and news feed, I don't go anywhere else unless I have to track food and that is easy enough to do. I am sure you will find your groove on here and be comfortable in no time.
@Tabatha_Cain oh I so hope you are feeling better and you have a good weekend. Do rest as much as you can. I found it took me a good month to get back to normal after having Covid, yet my son bounced right back no problemo. We are each different and resat different too.
@KatieCondy1 - you can do this, you can over come this. You will be fine in time.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I hope you are feeling better for tomorrow's meeting and you can zoom it if need be. We had quite a few on zoom as colds/ flu is going around the congregation. Just take care of you as best you can and call for help if you need to. Don't be shy, the friends love you !!
WELL I should get up and get something done - I should I should I should... funny said that 3 times, still sitting here LOL
1 -
@Lindiemaep ,,, WOW On the cost of the baked chicken!! YO!!! SO SORRY!!! Glad you enjoyed meeting. Today I went and joined the others for hall cleaning, I didn't do much, only about 20 mins, but as we well know many hands make the work lighter. My friend next door did more than I did. This afternoon afterwards, we stopped at the pharmacy, and I went through the Chinese drive through ,, it's very yummy. IF you know what to order from there that is. And of course since it's local we do. Since that point I've been a chair potato and it's needed. Hopefully tomorrow I can go in person, but we'll see. If not, LOL My usual ZOOM buddies are MISSING ME!!2
-
@LindieMaeP-thanks for the pep talk...and as to the moon..I have been like this even as a child. My GM said it is because I am Wolf Clan and they are always restless under the full moon. They love it and spend their time celebrating it. I can sit on my porch with the moonlight as bright as midday and enjoy every minute. Just have to figure some sleep time the next day!!
I had quit smoking for several years when this crew showed up..everyone of them smokes..they do go outside (mostly), and the few times I have cracked lately I stop to think "why". It is because the smokes are there!! I refuse to buy at todays prices!! Now I need to as the saying goes..just say NO!
We went to the lake today..there were so many geese, mostly Canadian but a couple of domestic had joined the flock and there was a small representation of ducks as well. The deer were everywhere. We saw a couple of does that had triplets by their side and a few that had very late in the season babies. Most had at least grown out of their spots, but they were still small to be going thru the Winter. I think there is a feeding station at one of the State camping areas close by it will be needed to get those young ones thru the season. Then we took the back road home and sure nuff, more deer and fawn, plus a good sized flock of wild turkey. Twas a nice relaxing ride for both of us...Tammy was with me.
We went out to the lil town by us to search for eggs and surprisingly enough the lil store there had some. They were a lil pricy but thas ok, at least we have them. I got a feeling there will be chicks in my future this Spring!! Wow on the cost of the chicken..I did not even check when we were in the store.
Diane..I hope you have another good nights rest ..as always your upbeat attitude is an inspiration to us all. oHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Chinese!!! It is a sad statement but a true one...one of the things I miss about Jim was that we went out to eat often and although he was not fond of Chinese he would suggest it from time to time knowing I would love it.
That wraps up the day. I hope yours was as enjoyable as mine!!
Good nite all.1 -
PS - I had to go to Safeway AGAIN today as yesterday I FORGOT the small bottle of vanilla pure I paid 4.99 for. When I got to the self service check out assistant, I asked her if it was handed in and she said to check at customer service. I checked at customer service, showed them the receipt I had - it was the first thing on it, and she pulled out a book and sure enough the bottle had been handed in ( most likely placed back on the shelf for resale ) and she told me to just go get one. I left my cart at customer service, picked up the bottle and headed back. She marked the reciept and gave me the items back. Then I went and got a Canadian Maple Ham, mashed potatos and headed to check out, then home. When I got home, Gene was up and in the other room. I put the stuff away and told him what I picked up for dinner. At some point he got dressed. I asked him where he was going since he had long pants on - he said no where, he changed his mind, but half an hour later, he decided to go get some fried chicken. I asked if he was getting Churches Chicken,he said no, Safeway - I said you eat it that stuff is not so great. Well he went to Safeway and bought it and it cost him 6.99 for each single dinner he bought - 3 pieces of baked chicken and mashed potatoes. Now you would think baked should be better then fried. Well he gave me one of the dinner and mine was so dried out, it was disgusting but I ate it anyway rather then waste food. I told him afterwards and he agreed, he should have gotten Church's Chicken. Told him if he had I woulda paid half lol
Gonna go record my numbers and head off of MFP... night all !!

@Katiecondy1,,, Awwww Jim sure did love you, it's so easy to see why!! He was one great part of your cheering section, but many of us have been fortunate to be there too with you. SLEEP WELL hon!! We'll see ya on Sunday.
@Lindiemaep ,,, We don't have a Church's chicken, but OHHH POPEYE'S!! OH MY YES!! YES!! YES!! You also sleep well!! I'll be POPPING OFF Here soon!! The Ferris wheel I've joined the 2 of them, have more of tha tdone and the steps. Next step is to put together the working parts ,, the interactive ones that make it go around!! That's exciting and "HUH"? at the same time. LOL OH WE KNOW I'll do it!! After that it's faster to put together in part. I am now on step 31 last night it was step 17. There are 56 in all.

Thought for the day:
There is a fantastic opportunity called TODAY!
LIVE IT! LOVE IT!
The DAY IS YOURS!
Have a SENSATIONAL SUNDAY 1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all having a good morning. Today is Sunday and I am back to work tomorrow. I am not sure I am wanting to go back. Even though I have been sick I had a whole week off and I loved it. It was so nice to be able to sleep when I wanted to sleep. That was nice. I do have to get back to work though.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I slept for so long also. It is crazy that I slept for so long. I still feel tired. I am not sure if I feel better or not.
@LindieMaeP - I am finding I am so tired. Yesterday I went to sleep at 7:30 pm and woke up this morning at 4:30 am. Definitely needed some sleep. Sorry about your nerve issues. Chicken is getting quite pricey now. Sorry the tylenol did not help.
@katiecondy1 - I love watching deer and geese. It is so peaceful, I especially love the ones with babies,
Well it is time to get some breakfast. I hope you all have a great day.
Tabatha1 -
Good morning everyone.1

@Dpecora653 ,,, Are you with the grands? Or at home? Nice bright message. TY TY!
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, In turn last night I DID NOT SLEEP!! AT ALL!! SIGH!!
@Patti241,, Good Morning Patti!! Did you get any snow today? I "think" we may get flurries later.2 -
Good afternoon, happy Sunday. Yesterday got the rest of my packages ready to mail. Finished up Christmas cards. Feeling good about that. It has rained on and off the last 2 days, today it is overcast, up in the 50's. @Dianedoessmiles1 where we were last year we weren't affected with loss of electricity, thank goodness.
Have a great rest of the day, hugs and blessings for a wonderful new wee.
Some more Christmas humor
3 -
Good afternoon everyone, sure hope you are enjoying your Sunday,no matter what you have planned. I am enjoying a quiet afternoon listening to some music and maybe when I am done I'll get up and dance with my "airpartner" LOL
@Tabatha_Cain - tired I know, I had it and it took a month for me to get over being tired from Covid. Then when I got back to normal, got hit with a flu virus of some kind not covid and wham back down again. I just took it easy as best I could. I am not one to lose my apetite and if I ever do, Gene has been instructed to call an ambulance if I refuse to eat - Through it all I still could eat and eat I did, but going out, doing errends, even laundry, tired me even my arms felt heavy and tired me just swinging them when walking. Hopefully you do not go through that and once back into your normal routine, you'll feel better.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I have heard of Popeye's Chicken and I think there might be one in Alberta, not sure but I would love to try it. I like Church's chicken better then KFC - always had and I used to work for KFC way back when Gene was like 5ish ... That ferris wheel is going to be something. Will you give it to your grandson? I do not have the pateince for things like that. I have other talents, I just have not found them yet LOL 2Kings 16,17 very interesting for this week ....
@Dpecora653 awesome post - reminds me of something Jesus said on the Sermon on the Mount - he said (Matthew 6:25-34) ...So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles. and I try to live by this every day. Thanks for the reminder of this through your post.
@Kurtize very funny indeed LOL poor snowman get blamed for everything from iceing a shoulder to leaving a puddle on the couch/mat LOL No eating the carrot !!
@everyone I hope you are enjoying your day/evening. I sure am. Take care ...
2 -
@Kurtize: Love the cartoon!
@Dianedoessmiles1: You are going to town on the Ferris wheel! Good job!!!
Today I was a true couch potato. At least the stretching exercises were completed.
Have a good Monday!
Tomorrow's word is SYNTHESIS
1 -
@Kurtize,,, sounds like another productive day!! WTG!!! Nice that last year you weren't going through the loss of electricity. May it go that well this year too!! Love humor.
@Lindiemaep ,,, I used to LOVE LOVE KFC, but they've gone downhill. Oh putting the Ferris Wheel together has been fun to do!!! Ohhhhh Nah, I am not letting Roman have it, though he can play with it if he's gentle with it. LOL If not, I love that children are SHORT!! Well he is half of my height. LOOK!! FINALLY though it's NOT MUCH AT ALL STILL!!
@Novembergail ,,, Awwwww thanks!! It's fun watching it come together. Today Izzy is STUCK TO ME LIKE GLUE AND MORE!!! It's so cute, and yet. She's always on me, but today it's so strange, but she's playing like a little fool so I know she's okay. Some days we just really need a DOWN RELAXING DAY. Glad you finally have one.
2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 are you sure you are going to be able to sleep with that white stuff coming down ? LOL Amigo spent some time in my room, actually came in on his own, I put him on the bed for a while and then he wanted down and then changed location 2 x and then eventually left. I fed him so now he's on the couch with Gene. He's not a lap cat, and I am happy about that, Kartmen was but only when I was in the lazygurl chair ... different cats different personalities kinda thing. Funny how we tend to give human attributes to our animals when in fact it is instinct.
Well I have recorded my numbers and I am going to call it a night.
