WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2023
Replies
-
went to a backyard wedding yesterday for one of dh's friends- they have known each other 40+ yrs. Third marriage for Dave.(second one was on a boat in the SF Bay- we were actually betting how long it would last- less than 6 months-she chose being with her dogs over him)>
He has been with this women 20yrs and decided to go ahead and get married-for the medical.She is retiring and he is still working so now she can get on his medical coverage.
The wedding was nice, very glad they had a canopy beings it was high 70's yesterday but they didn't have enough chairs so dh and I stood through the wedding, cocktail hour and dinner/dessert. I was so glad I wore flats and not my heals. Felt great to sit down after standing for over 3 hrs
Having my tea now then will head for church. Looking forward to telling a few people who were praying for Nick last Sunday, to now share a praise about him. So much happened in just one week.
Should be catching up on some computer work- need to have it done this evening.
Not sure what we will do this afternoon- may weed some more in the garden.

I went out to hang laundry on the clothes line this morning and this California poppy was visiting through the fence and you can see it opened as the sun warmed it. I had fun playing with shadow, the wood of the fence and the exuberance of the poppy color.

Do any of you remember watching "Picket Fences"on TV? There were many occasions of bodies and body parts found in chest freezers. Another reason to opt for the upright kind.

Barbie - I do not remember that show and think I am glad I don't that sounds gruesome1

Kim - gorgeous photos!
Love the shadows.
Just had a phone call with my brother. He and DSIL are off on a cruise to the Norwegian fjords next Saturday! They didn't tell us they had booked it.
I think asking us about Norway was a pretext to talk to us about the wedding, but that's a lot better with me since talking to the bride yesterday. He asked if DH was coming, but I laughed and said he doesn't do weddings or funerals. Which is pretty nearly true. I would rather go alone than drag a reluctant partner.
He had no clue about the ports, or if he had data roaming included on his phone. Etc etc. But I'm sure they will have a great time.They live in Southampton and can almost see the ships from their house.

Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them.
Tracey, that's just wonderful that Athena likes to sew! I loved to sew when I was young. Made most of my own clothes and a lot for my kids and grands. Of course, they don't want Grammy's handmades anymore. LOL. Yes, our laws are quite strict in some areas and don't get me started in others!
None of those sleep styles fit me to a tee. I'm probably closest to a lion, I guess. I like to get up and get things done because I tend to drag in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I stay up way too late at night though!
No Karen, she wasn't confused. Once they're 16, even though they're not "an adult" in the eyes of the law, they are considered rightfully allowed to privacy of their own medical information. I was told, even in the doctor's office, that she had a "allow" me to come in with her. Again, that was prior to us having them both sign the release forms. After than, our clinic had a copy and I carried one with me 24/7, just in case!
OMG, Kelly... that's the first thing I thought of too! Why didn't ya kill the danged thing and have a dinner at least. Would made up for some of that $1000 anyway! I'm sorry. lol
Oh and ADHD is different for everyone. Male, female and each individual. It can come out as not being able to sit still or simply not being able to focus. Like you say, maybe it's shutting down when there's "too much" of whatever. That's why it's so tough for some teachers to deal with some of the kids. They're all over the place and it doesn't all (I'm losing my words today, sorry) "show" the same way so you can't treat Johnny the way you can Susie, but you can't treat Sam the way you can Johnny either.
OH HEAVENS Katla that had to be scary! Our neighbor had one of those huge chest freezers and it scared the jeepers outta me. Never could quite figure out why, but maybe that was it.
How pretty, Kim...
23. Go out and do an errand for a loved one or neighbor... I'll have to do that this week.
Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN3 -
Lanette: I hope you got the computer fixed okay!
Annie: Good of you to donate the saddle!
Lisa: Glad you hemoglobin is almost normal!
Debbie: We had a freezer growing up. There were 6 of us, but married I have not had an extra freezer. I really didn't do much with frozen food until COVID hit. Since then I have been freezing more often.
Terri: Glad the surgery went well
Barbara: Hope you are feeling better!
Heather: I love Yearning Yellow. I am glad you are going to your niece's wedding.
Heather/Ginny: I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 40's and this explained a lot about my life. I take medication for it.
As a child I was a day dreamer and this is a sign of ADD in girls. As an adult I struggled with organization and piles. I always had piles. I am a member of ADDA...The Attention deficit Disorder Association. Knowing one has ADD is important because then you can give yourself extra time to organize and make better career decisions.
Machka: My husband and I use to go to the local symphony here while he was still able to walk. I have a Great Courses lecture series on the different composers of the symphonies.
Aundy: Happy Birthday
Karen: I would be struggling to discern who to get to know to become friends with. I am happy for you that you are doing such a great job with this. I hate cafeterias because one is forced to chose who to sit with. I don't go to Parish Night Out at the church because of this. I also could make an urn for my husband's ashes. I am thinking about this. I could make it yellow--his favorite color.
Tracy: Congrats on the arrival of Reece James.
I drove the 2 hours to Atlanta in the disability van and brought my son his Dad's desk. I am home now. We took a 1.5 mile walk with his 3 dogs. It was a beautiful day! For the knitting, I have been asked to buy bamboo needles. I understand the cast on stitches stay in place better with bamboo. I did an exercise class at the gym on Friday and plan to go back tomorrow.4 -
Stat for the day-
Housecleaning etc- 3 hrs 28min, dust, vacuum, make hummingbird food, deep clean window blinds, trim back hedges, make frozen dog treats, etc= 973c3 -
From Karen: I have had past experience with velvet harpoonists, so recently when she made some Southern-Speak comments about my visiting friends who had apparently disrupted her floor’s jigsaw puzzling protocol (:D:D ), I waited until she was all done, and then I made direct eye contact and I kindly said, “Bobbi, point made. It won’t happen again.” She got quite flustered that I was so kind and direct in addressing her true message.
Ah, yeah - that's the key for "velvet harpoonists," which I am stealing, by the way. Her estimate of your IQ just went through the roof. Bobbi is much like the women I grew up with, like one conversation overheard in a restaurant, "Bless her heart, Darlene is PG with her 5th now. Her mama would have been better off to hand that girl an aspirin and tell her put it between her knees and never drop it."
Kim - I'm so glad you had those hours with your best friend. That's a heart-healing thing if ever was. Love the poppy pictures! Such a gorgeous color.
Quiet day today. Hope everyone's Sunday is/was serene and lovely.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR4 -
Hello ladies!
I had a mental victory today. My laptop screen has been dark and flickering in the weirdest intermittent way. I was almost ready to buy new, even looked on Amazon but the specs are so overwhelming. So I girded my loins ( by eating chocolate for courage) and looked up the problem online, found a solution, tried it, and it seems to work! I refreshed the graphics card driver after a Windows 11 update. Yay! I knew that laptop was too young to die! Twenty years ago I knew a lot about Windows, but now I'm lost without explicit help. But I did it!
And I did twenty minutes on my bike, which doesn't balance the chocolate I ate.

Kim —The photos of your California Poppy peeking through your fence are delightful. ❤️
Barbie — I agree with you about the hazards of chest freezers. Our daughter fell into ours long ago. She was looking for something for her lunch at school. I helped her out of the freezer. She got dressed for school & got on the school bus. I waved goodbye to our daughter, emptied the chest freezer and DH & I dragged it down the driveway with a “free” sign on it. It disappeared minutes after she climbed into the school bus. We replaced the chest freezer with a new upright freezer that same day. We were so lucky & very grateful that she wasn’t hurt. 💖

Good morning! Nothing planned for today, so might be painting this afternoon.
DH has drawn out a draft plan for a pic of hats and I still want to try the reverse tape picture. Haven't received a photo of DDIL yet for the profile pic. Maybe she's shy!
My son told us yesterday that there is another teacher's strike on Thursday and DDIL has clients and video filming in the apartment. Her new book launches next month. (We are going to the launch). I have booked to go to Portsmouth to see G that day and I don't want to cancel because she always comes here, so DH will have the girls on his own from 10.45 - 3.30.
I suggested he take them out to lunch, but I don't know if he will. There may be another strike on the day of the launch as well. Sometimes my son can get the girls in to Art Club at huge expense, but they get booked up.
DH has an important dentist appointment at 4.15 that day, so the pick up time is crucial.
Otherwise it's exercise and writing, I'm looking out of my front window and it looks like a running day. Yesterday DH'S nephew completed the London Marathon (in the rain) three weeks after the Brighton one. I don't have any more news than that yet.

Good morning, dear girls. I got home late on Saturday afternoon, the relief is mighty. Everything is working as expected, but energy levels are low as my body deals with all the different meds involved in an operation.
I have nothing but admiration for the wonderful people who looked after me so well, but I’m glad to be back home.
DYD visited me In hospital on Friday night, and called round to see me settled home on Saturday night. I Skyped with the rest of my family yesterday afternoon.
I will try and catch up with all your doings today.
Machka: Women of my generation were taught to subjugate our own needs to those of others. However, I eventually learnt that it was not good for one’s mental health, and became more tuned in to my own needs and wants.8 -
23. Go out and do an errand for a loved one or neighbor. Oops.
Karen so by not “being nice” you were able to be present for your “be nice” friend and bless her with a new direction. Well done! Rum cake might be worth a few velvet barbs…
Kelly
“We all enter as the light. What we become coming out the other side of life/the prism, can be very different than the person next to us.”
Lisa my blouses/turtlenecks hang in ROYGBIV order thinking about people as light and the light we/they bring.
Allie I still say “Bless your heart” and mean it sweetly, but then everyone can tell from my accent that I’m not Southern.
Katla what a scary chest freezer story!
Barbie eeeuuuwww
Heather “…go alone than drag a reluctant partner…” Truth this. Took me awhile to learn but it has been one of the saving graces of our marriage. Johnny is one brave grandpa to have the girls that long on his own before his DDS appointment. Wow.
Kim what lovely photos of your sunny surprise. Glad you found some joy.
Rosemarie glad you and your son had good weather for dog walking.
Annie Brava for successful graphics card driver update. Doggone those Windows updates!

ACTIVE APRIL1. Commit to being more active this month starting today. Yes!21. Regularly pause to stretch and breathe during the day.
2. Spend as much time as possible outdoors today. Yes!
3. Listen to your body and be grateful for what it can do. Yes! I can garden, which requires all sorts of body motion, and cycle.
4. Eat healthy and natural food today and drinks lots of water. Yes! Ate my usual food and drank lots of water up till about 8 pm. We won't talk about what happened after that.
5. Turn a regular activity into a playful game today. Hmmm ... Walking around the shops? Climbing stairs?
6. Do a body-scan meditation and really notice how your body feels. Achy.
7. Get natural light early in the day. Dim the lights in the evening.
There isn't much light early in the day here. Plus I was sleeping then. Plus it was cloudy, drizzly and rainy all day.
But I do dim the lights in the evening. It's one of many steps I take to wind down in the evenings to prepare myself for the night.
8. give your body a boost by laughing or making someone laugh
I rarely laugh. Most things don't strike me funny.
Lots of things amuse me, but not enough for laughter.
9. Turn your housework or chores into a fun form of exercise
I often do, but as today's work involved sitting at 2 computers, I walked on the treadmill during a break instead.
10. Have a day with less screen time and more movement
Unfortunately, today was another day sitting at 2 computers.
But I did go downstairs to row and lift weights.
Hoping the rain will let up soon!!! It's been 4 days already!
11. Set yourself an exercise goal or sign up to an activity challenge
One of my more favourite areas!!
We aim to cycle at least one 50 km ride each month and have been doing that for a while. At our AGM at the end of March, we got a bag full of these each. 
We will have to see when we can fit our April ride in ... the 5 days off over Easter would have been good but it rained and rained and was cold and windy. Snow at higher elevations.
Maybe next weekend ... we'll see.
AND ... one of the bigger running events moved their event to September which is fantastic for me. Originally, it was this month, but I was nowhere near ready to even sign up for the 5K. Now I've got the winter to get in shape.
Also, now that I'm working back in the same building I was in about 16 months ago, with many of the same people, we've started our stair climbing challenge again. We are easing into it this month because of Easter and ANZAC Day but we'll be ready to be much more consistent in May.
The stair climbing challenge is exciting because when I'm busy climbing 20+ flights of 20 stairs each day I am at work, I lose weight.
12. Move as much as possible, even if you’re stuck inside
Absolutely! I climbed stairs.
13. Make sleep a priority and go to bed in good time
I do when I have to work the next day ... make sure I get at least 7 hours of sleep.
But I am not keen on that. I'm a night owl and like to get things done late at night. Having to be in bed by 11:45 pm is a bit uncomfortably early.
14. Relax your body & mind with yoga, tai chi or meditation.
Gardening ... will gardening do?
15. Get active by singing today (even if you think you can’t sing)
I sing every day. My husband is very polite about it.
16. Go exploring around your local area and notice new things
I've spent 5 years on our island.
I've done a lot of local exploring!
I think exploring locally is a great idea and some people don't do enough of it. However, I'm getting more and more restless to go somewhere else as the weeks go by.
17. Be active outside. Dig up weeds or plant some seeds
I usually do this on the weekend when there's daylight.
However, I occasionally do some weeding in the pitch dark when I walk Rhody right after work.
18. Try a new online exercise, activity or dance class.
Hmmmmmmm ... not that keen on online exercise, aside from Zwift.
However, I have started a stair climbing challenge at work, and we keep track of it on an Excel spreadsheet.
19. Spend less time sitting today. Get up and move more often.
Walking in the morning and evening as part of my commute.
Walking at lunch.
Climbing stairs.
Walking back and forth to the kitchen and toilet.
Walking with Rhody after work.
20. Focus on eating ‘a rainbow of multi-colored vegetables today.
As always.
Does huffing and puffing up and down 20 flights of stairs count?
22. Enjoy moving to your favorite music. Really go for it.
I always enjoy my music, but I don't necessarily move to it.
23. Go out and do an errand for a loved one or neighbor.
Not on the 23rd (Sunday) but today.
24. Get active in nature. Feed the birds or go wild-life spotting.
Walking ... and watching the pigeons.25. Have a ‘no screens’ night and take time to recharge yourself.
26. Take an extra break in your day and walk outside for 15 minutes
27. Find a fun exercise to do while waiting for the kettle to boil (or pan of water.)
28. Meet a friend outside for a walk and a chat.
29. Become an activist for a cause you really believe in
30. Make time to run, swim, dance, cycle or stretch today

Morning ladies
Woke up at 4:45 am with a belly ache..I have my annual physical in June but unfortunately I think I need to speak with her about going celiac disease or going gluten free..
I've found that if I eat certain things I feel horrible and bloated ,same with dairy.. im guessing this all started after the heart surgeries and has gotten worse..
Sheesh like I need this on top of everything else.. oh well will teach me to eat better I guess.4 -
Went for my run.
A lorry/truck got stuck between the café and a new wooden wall. Lots of gouges in the wall! They were trying to manoeuvre it out as I was passing by on the other side of the cafe. I said to the guy who was trying to direct proceedings, "So, it's a good start to the day then?" "Yer great!" he said, but he did smile.
Bought various cold meats etc from the deli on the way back. Some mozzarella di buffala to have Tricolore tomorrow.
We are having sea bass tonight, with roasted cauliflower and rustic sauce vierge. AF day.
Now to get on with my writing.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx5 -

Well done Terri!
Various people throughout my life tried to encourage me to "be a lady" and tried to encourage me to learn the things that would make me a lady.
Fortunately, my parents didn't do much of that. They encouraged me to pursue the things I wanted to do. They encouraged me to go to school and make education and a career a priority. And they taught me to speak up.
It probably helped that my mother and both grandmothers worked. My mother, in particular, had a career as a nurse and worked in some difficult areas like the Emergency Department. She didn't take anything from the drunk idiots who had injured themselves but had all sorts of alcohol-induced attitude.
The women closest to me were/are strong women.

Machka ~ I have every one of the signs you listed as neurodivergent. One thing that wasn't listed is I cannot stand to be seated between people and always want to sit on the outside of the row.
Carol in GA I don't like sitting between people and opt for the end seat or the aisle seat or sitting out of the way or not going anywhere that might cause me to be crowded in. I call it one manifestation of claustrophobia. When I was working, there was a meeting at the beginning of the school year held at the high school auditorium where the superintendent had a message to share. All my colleagues went in groups and sat together in the middle of the row in the middle of the auditorium. I went alone and sat far down in front stage right in the little row that had only two seats and no one ever sat beside me. The superintendent thought I was especially interested in the message and had no idea it was a survival technique for me. Barbie in NW WA
Yes, could be one manifestation of claustrophobia.
I'm fine in lifts and small rooms and caves etc. but put me in the middle of a row in an auditorium full of people, and I have to fight to keep from standing up and climbing out on top of people's heads. I have to find something to focus on to try to keep calm.

I respectfully disagree, Carla, but I understand your answer; I believe it reflects the common misconceptions about & misinterpretations of HIPAA among many, many medical providers and patients. And of course I could be wrong! However, I have done extensive reading and study of this issue, because it affected the welfare of my clients and my own livelihood.
Read for yourself and see what you think:
https://nahic.ucsf.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Minnesota-AYAH-Confidentiality-Guide_Final.pdf
The age of consent is 15 or 16 in many states, but I don’t believe that equates to a provider being required to obtain consent from an unemancipated minor whose parents are footing the bill when that minor has influenza and her mother is trying to get a prescription for Tamiflu.
Respectfully yours,

The cafeteria thing can be a dilemma, but we do have several singles who choose to sit alone and fortunately their choice is generally respected. I hope you do make an urn for your husband. I see many lovely examples of yellow urns on line, and with some practice I think even I could make one of the simpler ones. There are some amazing glazes that can be used to mimic the inlay effect shown on one of these urns. One of my fellow pot makers made a plate with a similar mother-of-pearl-like glaze.
