Not sure if they still do it, but HyVee supermarket used to bring in Hatch chilies and roast them in a big roaster in the parking lot around this time of year. It was the only time they had them. I saw this a number of times at the HyVee on Center at Saddlecreek. Roasted chilies freeze well. I wish we could get them here

Good afternoon!
Feeling much better than I expected today......mainly just a bit sore in my wrists; otherwise fine. I realized that was the fourth fall since May, which sounds like cause for concern but they were all vastly different: 1. At dd's school a low-to-the-floor chair skidded out from under when I tried to get up 2. The fall that went with the concussion with building the shed 3. Bike hit a curb and I got dumped 4. Yesterday the mis-step in the hole. This is still strange even though I see no connection that could be neuro related. Given my hip osteoporsis and warnings from the rheumatologist, I think I'm starting to feel a bit paranoid maybe; but it is a lot of falls.
jodios.....Your cooking class sounds like loads of fun. I think Heather covered the dh/ money issue very well; nothing to add except I'm sorry you were made to feel bad about bringing the possibles home.........men!!!!
Heather.......Given your mom experience, I'd say if you think something is off, it probably is. Maybe they are having the same thoughts and just don't want to give voice to them. It would be a very difficult subject to raise. There are many kinds of "delays". Wonder if the peds dr. has raised any concerns during his/her evals of the child?
Anamika........I think you have mixed me up with Sylvia, she's the potter..............sadly, not an artistic bone in this body.
Have a good day!

We just got back from a nice walk at the wilderness park with the Energizer Puppy - Bruno. I can't believe that the first time I saw him I worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up with ME on our walks! That little guy has boundless energy. I'm pooped, but now have to get ready to take the grandkids swimming. It'll be fun, though. It's 2:00 and I haven't had lunch yet, si I'd better eat a little something to avoid a repeat of yesterday.
The weather here is absolutely glorious! Temp of 74, clear and sunny. I hope it stays like this for a while.
Happy Sunday, everybody!

:bigsmile: I finished my back yard project today after many many weeks of work. The projects was to dig out all the rocks, dirt, roots and a big stump on what will become a real flower bed…..here is the big hole empty.
Here is the pile that contains about half the rock that I dug out.
Barbie from NW Washington0 -
Barbie- good for you.. that looks like a heap of work....
It is a stunning day here today.. beautiful fall weather. my heel is acting up now, been on it since 5:30 this morning with not much rest,so im sitting for awhile, then maybe later will have a skinny chai latte and some graham cracker's..
then to bed early and start all over again..
2 1/2 weeks till vacation... I am stoked:bigsmile:
I even have snacks packed for the flight lol,0 -
Barbie..........good grief!!! Didn't realize you were digging half way to China!!! Well done!! Now what kinds of flowers are you going to plant there??

I just got home from our sailing trip and am starting with the last page. I’m sure I’ve missed some important posts, but I don’t have the focus to go back and read everything. :noway: We had a great time. It was dry while we were at our rendezvous point with our sailing friends. It stayed dry most of the way home, and then dumped buckets of water on us for the last hour of the journey and clean up. We were soaked, but the boat is cleaned up and we’re now home and dry again.:bigsmile:
Robin: Home improvement projects are so satisfying, and then you think that the new part looks better than the rest, and that leads to more home improvement.
I’m happy you like your artificial grass and the dogs approve.:flowerforyou:
Joyce: I think you’re wonderful to understand your husband’s pov about his mom. :flowerforyou: It is one of the duties of children to go through the end stage with their parents, and no guidebook or preordained “right answers.” You do the best you can. You have a big heart, and I’m confident doing your best will be just right whether this is the final crisis, or one in a series. Prayers for all of you.
:flowerforyou:
Grandmallie: I’ve never heard of pumpkin hummus, but it sounds like it might be really good. Regular hummus doesn’t appeal to me very much although I know that many love it.:flowerforyou:
Yanniejannie: I’m glad you aren’t still suffering after your fall. Falls can be scary.:flowerforyou:
Barbie: You’ve done a lot of work to get rid of that rock. Where are you planning to put it?:flowerforyou:
Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon
September goals:
1. Log every bite
2. Move more.
3. Drink at least 4 glasses of water daily.0 -
Wow Barbie, that is a lot of work. I can't believe how many rocks you dug out :noway:
Just a quick post tonight...too many things to get ready for the week.
I talked to a neighbour and found out that they are installing the smart meters in the boiler room and new tenants will be charged rent + hydro but existing tenants won't. I'm not holding my breath because I know how things change. They really do need to turn down the heat during the winter. I would bet they would save a lot of money as so many of us have our doors and windows open all year round.
I went to aquafit this morning and used the webbed gloves, wow do they add resistance. My arms are a bit sore tonight. Back to work tomorrow and it's inventory time so I might have to work next weekend. :sad:
Sleep well everyone Sandy from ON 0 -
It’s a lovely early fall evening here in Omaha. I just sat down to watch baseball. Got some work done on the book and went for an hour bike ride today. I just love it when people stop me and ask me where I got my recumbent three-wheeler. I met a lady who has MS and poor balance and she had to give up her bike so she was very interested in it. My legs feel like concrete though! We haven’t ridden in several weeks.
Tomorrow and Tuesday will be hideous! I have to be at work at 8 in the morning and still do my evening clinical, so that’s like a 19 hour day and the same on Tuesday so I’m not sure how much I’ll be here those days.
Yanniejannie: sorry about your fall. I sure hope the headache and body aches are gone tomorrow but I bet you will be sore! I hope you don’t have any more!
Grandmallie: I used to have the feeders up against the windows but stopped because it was just too messy!
Sandy: wow what a change in your size! That is fabulous!
Barbie; your yard project sure sounds like a lot of work but I bet it feels good! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Michele: that cake sounds delish!
Jodios: what a wonderful feeling to go shopping and find things that actually fit! I have my new Lands End catalogue and plan to do a little shopping now because I noticed I really have nothing for casual wear that is not shorts.
Eileen: you know pets are such a bother and make such a mess, but what would we do without them? We have 3 cats and a dog and two of them are on multiple meds. They all cause havoc but I wouldn’t have it any other way
Heather: your trip to Italy sounds magnificent!
Anamika: so glad to see you again I was glad to hear you are back and the gym and see some success!
Jenn: welcome to the pack!
Pat: I can just smell the roasting chilis!!!!!
Robin: what is Mabon? It’s so nice to see you sharing what you have to be thankful for. I have been trying to notice the rhythms of nature more and feel more connected to the earth. We all live in this giant web of connectedness, but it’s so easy to forget those ties.
SueMizzou: where in MO do you live? My inlaws are in Miami OK, which is just across from Joplin.
Joyce: my thoughts and prayers are with you. It is hard to stay supportive when others make decisions we think are made
without the benefit of our knowledge.
Gail: I’ll clean your nasties for some of the meat!
Jane: those babies grow so fast!
Jill: thanks for the information! I will check that out; we are surrounded by HyVee so I’ll find out if they still bring in the chilis! Where in Omaha did you live? And what led you so far away? We are actually in Papillion.
Katla: so glad you had a good time on your sail and that the weather at least mostly cooperated!
Well I’m going to relax with baseball and try to store up energy for tomorrow LOL. It will be fun at the screening. We have a Mobile Diabetes Center staffed and supplied by the Cosmopolitan Club. They arrange screenings and faculty and students go. We do blood glucoses, A1Cs, cholesterol panels, eye screening, height weight and BMI, foot care for diabetics, flu shots, and pneumonia vaccinations. Also blood pressures and teaching. It just will be a long day and will mess with my food plan…can’t pack enough for two meals and three snacks, so will probably have lunch at Subway.
Well take care everyone and enjoy what’s left of the weekend! Meg from gloriously sunny Omaha0 -
Well we are home. they did a urine test and saw that she has a bladder infection. I think she lives with one. She sits in wet diapers all day long. They also did a portable chest xray. Labs were ordered and 4 different people made about 7 different attempts to draw blood and she is dehydrated enough that her veins are just flat. When we got there she just looked like what a body looks like in a coffin. It was so different than we saw on Friday. She was more her usual self when she woke up when they were trying to get blood. This lady who can't even get a whisper out was very easy to understand when she said quit, leave me alone, I want to go home, etc. I know many old people say things like that when they feel like they are being hurt. So my husband eventually just told them to stop. I don't know how they were able to get an IV in but it was running and they gave her a big antibiotic dose. The doctor wanted to admit her and treat her for the infection and he suggested that they send her back and be treated there. So that's where she is. His brother didn't quite agree. He is the co-POA. I did suggest that while his Mom was there for him to call his brother and confer with him but she did not. Now he is just broken hearted that he failed his Mom, his brother, himself. And I hope taht I haven't imposed my own feelings as a nurse and a person that went through this 2 years ago with my own Mom. I found a new way of treating the dying. This woman has lost 30 pounds in 30 days. She is dying, Her body is giving up. I think I have mentioned that he feels that he allowed his Dad to give up and that he killed his own dog instead of seeing it as letting him go. I have suggested that he call her doctor and he hasn't done that yet. I think he enjoys in a weird way wallowing in grief this way. This way it is his fault they died instead of just the fact that cancer had eaten their body up and it killed his loved one. I don't know how to make him feel any better except for telling him that he followed his heart today. he just said that he should have followed his head instead.
Chairs in ER rooms are terrible, aren't made for people to sit in them for long periods at all. Sometimes I wonder if they do it that way to get families out in the waiting room where at least those chairs have padding and they aren't around 24/7. If they are in the waiting room they are allowing the staff to make more decisions them selves. I did pack my brown bag lunch and took a big bottle of water so I could keep on track
Joyce, Indiana0 -
:flowerforyou: Robin, the new yard for Bodi and Ritter looks fabulous..maybe now with the nice yard for the pooches you’ll be more motivated to finish the planter….thank you for the reminders about balance and gratitude…..spiritual principles like these are always important in my life.
:brokenheart: Jodios, sorry that your DH was less than supportive about you new flattering clothing...I know you look awesome in all of them.
:bigsmile: Anamika, your return to gym and finding out that you’re in good shape is awesome news.
:flowerforyou: Jenn from Dallas, welcome to the place for motivation and support…..congrats on your weight loss so far…..you probably have a lot that you can share with us……keep coming back.
:flowerforyou: Pat, isn’t YouTube a great place to find the perfect exercise.
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Yanniejannie, the big question to ask about your falls is how well you did at regaining your balance or catching yourself and avoiding a worse crash….I’ve had several episodes in the last few years while walking dogs but I’m aware that I took many actions to cushion or recover rather than just falling to the ground like a sack of potatoes…..my new flower bed is being readied for the peonies that will be ready for pick up next month……the other half of the bed that I did the same thing to last summer has bulbs (tulip, daffodil, iris, and dahlia), daisies, and a small hydrangea plant.
:flowerforyou: Sylvia, my best exercise is walking with the frisky poodles who even at ages 6 and 8 have boundless energy….you will thank your puppy for all the calories burned.
:flowerforyou: Grandmallie, I’ve been working on this project a few hours a week for several months….finishing it has been one of my goals for three months.
:flowerforyou: Katla, some of the small rocks will be put back in the hole to help with drainage…the larger rocks will be borders around some trees and other areas in other parts of the yard, I don't know yet what I'll do with the others….congrats on a successful sailing trip.:bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: Sandy in ON that’s a real challenge living somewhere where you can’t control the temperature…..i admire you for being so tolerant of a difficult situation…isn’t it amazing what a great workout you get in the water….the first time I went to a water exercise class, a young woman in the class warned me to not overdo because it would seem easy and then I’d be in terrible pain the next day…..I took her advice and was glad I did.
:flowerforyou: Meg, when we have a long day away from home, we go to Subway….it’s a great place if you order wisely. Joyce, sending hugs to you.
:flowerforyou: Jake went to Seattle for a meeting and lunch with a friend and has been gone since early morning. I rarely have time at home alone and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it……a friend called and invited me to a play this afternoon and I turned her down because I didn’t want to give up my time alone.

Barbie,
Seeing all your rock reminded me that all the rock I have as landscaping rock came out of my yard as well. Things sure are rocky up here. :laugh:0 -
Just touching base as i'm home from the cottage tonight because I work in the morning. Still goofing off lots and having a great time. My fooling around ended in a .2 lb gain last week. I know why just to much bread when at cottage alone so much easier to throw a sandwich together than making a salad. Just plain being lazy must smarten up. tonight we went out to a cousins for supper roast beef and Ham and mashed potatoes 3 kinds of veg. and a beautiful coffee cake. yum won't weigh tomorrow morning. Even if lunch was only a sand. but still and all wii might say ouch. So should be back on Thursday. Take care all.0

:bigsmile: I know some people pray for those who have expressed the need. I don't pray; but if it helps, I do have good thoughts for people who need it. Renny 0

Eileen - so sorry for your friend
anamika - the deep water class is doing some cardio and some weights (the weights are foam, but in the water they can be quite heavy), sometimes using the noodle, even the board. You can really get your heartrate up by pushing yourself, that's what I do. I know some women come and socialize more. That's important, too. But I'm not there to socialize so much as to work out. But everyone has different goals. I only take the deep water class. There is a class in the shallow end, but my pool doesn't go to 10' so I use the Y's.
Jenn - welcome! You've come to the right place for support, that's for sure. Come in often and you won't know what to do with all the support you'll get.
Earlier this morning I cut up the fudge that I made for Vince. I always had a hard time cutting it up. I THINK I've found the secret, you cut it when it's cooled but not yet refrigerated. Then I made some soup for me to have in the freezer. Right now I'm letting the crepe batter rest. I remember when we were in Switzerland and my gf made them, she let her batter sit for 1/2 hour. Don't know why, but I'm letting mine sit. I need to try out the crepe maker. I've never used it even tho I've had it for about 9 years....lol
Joyce - my prayers are with you. I know how hard it is to feel one way but have to support someone who doesn't feel the same as you do. I know that only too well. Lots of prayers for you, hun
Did an hour of pilates today. Tomorrow is yoga, hold my plank and then the extreme pump class. We're supposed to get the building for the pool equipment delivered so right aftr the class I will have to come home. After pilates I cut up the fudge I made yesterday, found that you really need to cut it when it's warm, then put a load of laundry into the washer, then tried making the crepes. This will certainly be interesting. Seems sometimes they come out real good, sometimes they are very thin. Well...it'll all work out. I'll make some toppings for the crepes, maybe chocolate (for Vince) and strawberry. I found online a recipe for Feta Potatoes which looks like basically mashed potatoes with feta and another for an apple glazed carrots. I asked the lady who is supplying the entree which I should make, personally, I think the apple glazed carrots recipe looks interesting.
Beautiful day here today, and for some reason I had no desire to go by the pool. Weird, even Vince thought that I'd be by the pool. It wasn't humid, in the 70's, gentle breeze. Hope the rest of this week is the same way. We couldn't put any rock behind the old retaining wall because it rained last night and the ground needed time to dry out.
barbie - you sure dug a lot of rocks out!
Joyce - how I wish I could come over right now and give you a great big hug, but a virtual one will have to do.
Michele in NC0 -
Hooray! That other 1/2 lb gone! That's 1 lb so far this month. My goal was 2, but I still have a week before we go away.
Did my plank for 2 mins 40 secs yesterday. A PB. Exceeded my goal.
DDIL going in at 11 for the caesarean. Hope for news by 4.:bigsmile:
Joyce - I am with you in my thoughts.

It’s a lovely early fall evening here in Omaha. I just sat down to watch baseball. Got some work done on the book and went for an hour bike ride today. I just love it when people stop me and ask me where I got my recumbent three-wheeler. I met a lady who has MS and poor balance and she had to give up her bike so she was very interested in it. My legs feel like concrete though! We haven’t ridden in several weeks.
Well take care everyone and enjoy what’s left of the weekend! Meg from gloriously sunny Omaha
DH has MS and uses his recumbent trike to get around in our community, but I'm usually walking beside him when that is going on so I can give the occasional push. Mine is on a trainer in the garage and I use it when I want to burn off calories. I'd rather ride outdoors because it is more fun, but getting it off and on the trainer is an unpleasant task and best performed with help so it usually just waits to be my exercise machine. What kind of recumbent trike do you have? Ours are Terra Trike Rovers.0 -
morning ladies,
slept real well last night,and got up at 3:45 this morning,had my lemon water and went to the gym...only did about 1/2 hr.
The DR's aren't in today so will only be going in for a few hrs,then will come home and do stuff around here..
had a really nice weekend,DH was very attentive this weekend, we enjoyed each other's company.. and we are looking forward to going to florida. My brother and his girlfriend will be coming down to take care of the boys and the house while we are gone..
he is very responsible ,but worry because he is an alcoholic... they know they both have to smoke outside, and will have them down maybe next sunday to go through what needs to be done.. we do things daily that need to be done ie... dogs meds ,feed and walk the dogs etc.. they are not used to that, though with my brother not working he has been taking care of both of Jean's elderly parents,so this will be a little different for them,I am sure the boys will enjoy there company 0 -
Good morning all!
It's going to be another beautiful day here. This is the weather I wait for all year.
I took the grandkids to the pool at the Y yesterday. It was fun, but afterward my granddaughters were showering and a curtain rod fell and hit one in the shoulder leaving a big bruise. Poor little thing cried and cried. I almost did too. It was a tension rod, but really old and made of heavy metal. That would have hurt anybody. I felt awful, like I wasn't watching close enough. You sure don't expect curtain rods to fall like that. I tried to put it back up but the tension spring seemed to be shot. No wonder it fell.
I'm going back to the Y as soon as I get my favorite towel out of the dryer. I plan to have a word with the Y manager about those shower rods. I know we are lucky to even HAVE separate showers, and not one big open room like in the men's room, but still, they shouldn't be dangerous. Maybe if I pay for it they will install fixed rods that are bolted in place so that doesn't happen again and hurt someone even worse.
Take care everybody!

morning again~ we are missing quite a few people.. Nancy, and a few other,hope they are all o.k.,
stopping at the Post Office , then to work for a few hours...0 -
Hello friends!
:bigsmile: Yanniejannie sorry about the mix up.... talk about being confident ;P
As for your falls, may I recommend yoga to work on your balance. My instructor says as we age our balance keeps getting challenged, compare us with toddlers..... Yoga helps in increasing our balance, thereby decreasing incidents of falling. Since you already have osteoporosis...... u need to take more care.
I re read your post...... seem to be accidents which could happen to anyone. Nevertheless take care
:happy: Sylvia could imagine you plopped in your chair and Bruno running around saying What? given up ? lets gallavant some more!
:flowerforyou: Joyce you are such a caring n loving lady...... your family and friends (including us here) r lucky to have you. Bless you
Sandy sounds like you had a great workout
:drinker: Katla what a wonderful holiday. It would have been too good to be true without a dunking I guess Meg have been reading the posts and following all of you, just not posting..... great bike ride for u and motivating others too
:flowerforyou: Barbie thanks for the encouragement.....what a big flowerbed that is...... now waiting to see the flowers you'll plant Michelle thanks for telling me about the deep water ex. Must be tough, but easy on all the joints I guess. How much work u get done...... inspiring
:bigsmile: Heather hooray! thats some Plank!!!!
:flowerforyou: Rebelrenny Loved your trail run and the fact you won!
Got to go for my weight training at the gym!
Have a great day everyone
Anamika0 -
My new granddaughter born today at 2.15. 6lb 6oz. :flowerforyou: :drinker:
I will be going up on Thursday to see her. I bought her a lovely little t shirt today and one for DGS so he doesn't feel forgotten!
Had a great time today with my credit card. Bought a mini and a pencil skirt, a bra, socks and a scarf. Don't know how I am going to pay for it yet, but I'm hoping my legacy is going to materialise. Magical thinking probably.:laugh: I never wear bras or skirts, so this is all a bit amazing to me. I have some thick tights arriving in the post soon, so hope it will all go together. DH bought me tthefurry boots for my birthday. They are coming tomorrow.
It was a revelation to be able to walk into the shop, try things on and have them look nice. I used to dread clothes shopping. It reduced me to tears and I was just glad to find something that fitted and didn't look horrible. Now I am enjoying it. I think I have a pretty good evening smart casual look now. The scarf is leopard print, but black and red.
Turkey burgers tonight. I mix spinach, chilli and spring onion into them along with mint and parsley. Garlic, of course and Worcestershire Sauce.:bigsmile: You get a huge 2 burgers for your calories.:bigsmile:
Relieved and happy that DGD is here and the caesarean went well.
Love to all, Heather from Hampshire UK0 -
Happy mon.
Heather.congrat`s on the new grandbaby:drinker:
Hope everyone is doing ok.

Good afternoon, ladies,
Went to ladies exercise this am; held 4lb. weights for most of the session.....my still slightly sore wrists are not too happy but got through. Making a roast for dinner tonight, later will take some of it with veggies to one of the older ex-members who has lung ca. She's a sweetheart and it's just too sad seeing her decline.
Sllvia.....Too bad about your dgd getting injured, but that is very nice of you to offer the new rods.
Heather...............Very, very happy news for you!!! Best wishes for a long, healthy, and happy life to your new little one. Is there a name yet?
Anamika........Hope you enjoyed your weight lifting session. I do some yoga.......usually make it to 2-3 classes a/week. Will go back to the gym for one tonight.
Barbie........I have tried to save myself as best I could each time I fell and suppose it worked since nothing got broken; but I think that's maybe just instinct. In some sports they do teach the kids how to fall; maybe I've absorbed some of those pointers watching dd do sports for years and years, lol.
Joyce.......no matter how it goes, there are no easy answers for what you are facing---just hope they keep her comfortable and don't prolong any suffering...
Hello to everyone else; hope your day is going well!!

Well, many updates! I was so busy, I never even got on a computer except to look for a house! Yes, the interview went GREAT and I think I got it! Will know for sure when I get the offer letter later this week. I did find a house and put earnest money on it, now need to sell in TN and get the mortgage! Anyone need to buy a house in Cookeville, TN? PM me if you do.. It was AWESOME to see my daughter, her DH, and her son (my DGS) and my son and his sons (DGS2 and Step-DGS). Got to spoil all of them! Spent time with my Mom and 2 sisters and my uncle. Lots of driving, but made myself walk as much as I could! I don't think I did too bad on eating and walking. Tried hard to be good! Did not drink much at all, so another great thing. I did not get to spend time with Grandmalie, I was just too busy and when we were in her area, I had my daughter and her sick 3 year old with me. Well here I am back to work and playing on here. I need to get back to work! I will keep an eye out and have many posts to catch up on.
Thank you to everyone's well wishes! So far success on this new adventure!
My goals for September
1. log everything that goes into my mouth!
about 90%
2. log on here at least once a day (the thread I mean)
about 95%
3. not drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages a day (baby steps when I drink it is way more than this!)----about 95%
4. stop the self destructive behaviors! (going to be a tough one!)
about 95%
5. find a way to exercise that doesn't cause pain and detour my efforts! (suggestions?)
walking 100%

HI everyone. Sounds like a good few days....new babies, new logging, new weight loss! YAY.

We can do this.....
Darla from OHIO0 -
Hello, Ladies! How is Monday going for everyone? I am ok, but, dang, I hate grocery shopping! I broke down and went to WalMart, another place I hate to shop, because I also wanted some plain, 3/4 length sleeved, t shirts. Did they have them, Nope! Did they have most of the things on my grocery list, Nope! Not even 1 loaf of gluten free bread. Oh, well. I guess I will go down to the Safeway when I am out tomorrow.
I also went to one of the support group meetings today. That was good, I needed to have other people around who have similar issues to mine. That's also why I love MFP, you all understand when I say I wanted to steal the cupcake from the little kid, even though we have not really acted on the impulse. You understand the impulse. I am grateful for that understanding.
Heather- Congratulations on the new granddaughter! How fun!
Well, I am off to finish the wash and try to get some stuff done around here. However, what I really want to do is just close my eyes for a wee bit of a sleep!
