The pictures that I posted were taken from the Women over 50 + group page of which the majority of us ladies are in that group, and are only the different discussion threads which the majority of all of us can look at at any time. No one would have been able to open any of those discussion threads without going on the group page and accessing them that way and just about everyone on here can access them if they want. So those of you that are concerned that I posted that then maybe you shouldn’t have said something that you didn’t want everybody to know what you said?? although again, about 95% of everybody on here can look at that anytime they want to because they belong to that group! And quite possibly, maybe you’re afraid that some of the things you said on there others would take offense to?? again it’s a public forum! Maybe it’s against MFP rules??1

Mary ~ Why didn't you post any of your political remarks during the last election?
Carol in GA
I was wrong, I did participate on the Beth Moore Trumpism thread. Mainly because someone wanted to know why people would support President Trump. I think everybody should read that whole thread. There were people that respected opinions of others, and other people that totally bashed me and others, for having a different opinion than theirs. If you would read, I never bashed anyone. I only gave my honest opinion, and the opinion of well-known Christian leaders like Franklin Graham.

If you don't like the rules, go elsewhere to let off steam. It's simple. Those are the rules. The separate discussion group was a different thing and should not be confused. It was set up, completely openly, for those who wanted that type of discussion. This thread is not the place. Our peace, and loving community is more important than any personal agenda. We are here to support each other, not to indulge in indignation.

Heather - I agree. And I think this group has evolved over the past few years.
I know I am more focused on how I can live my life in peace today. Consequently, I use the "ignore" button once in a while when a poster or discussion gets wearisome for me. This feature doesn't always work (maybe a glitch?) but helps.

Heather: Great you have been working on Norwegian! and also Great that you made an outfit out of a 40 year old black sequined top!
Machka: Wow! What a trip! A trip of a lifetime!
Carol: Hope you feel better!
DerbyRose: I love getting up at 6am when I have had enough rest! I love mornings!
Rebecca: Sorry about your injury!
Flea: Thinking bout you and your family!
Katla: I hope you enjoy the momentos that were sent to you!
Lisa: The flowers are beautiful!
RV Rita: Wow! Those tomatoes look terrific!
Debbie: Glad you have a week end planned to see your Mom!
Betsy: Glad Jack's ashes are in a place that is special for him.
I left knitting class early today to bring a friend lunch who is now on oxygen and mostly home bound. She has trouble doing her laundry and washing her hair now. We had a good talk. Tomorrow I will bring her lunch again as her family is gathering out of town for Father's day. My son offered to come for Father's day but I encouraged him to see his wife's side of the family. Hope everyone has a good Saturday evening!
Best,

I don't know about MFP rules. The private group is not accessible or searchable by anyone not in that group. I would not consider it a "public" forum since people have to ask to join and be admitted. That's the issue. Anything we post in this thread can be googled and found. Not so with the group. It's not about people in this thread seeing them, it's the whole world that could become a problem for some. I'm not ashamed of anything we discussed. We did not talk about people, just issues. It was a safe space, and it doesn't feel so safe anymore if we are going to copy and paste what people said into a public forum that anyone in the world could see. It's the same reason I don't text my niece anything really personal. She copies other people's texts and sends them to me all the time. Not appropriate. And if she does it to others, she will do it to me.
Perhaps you didn't understand the difference between the group and this forum, but for privacy, there's a big difference.

Thanks Flea,
I went over to the group and am copying and pasting what was written as the "rules" This was posted by the group leader. And by copying and pasting the comments over the rules were broken. This is not about not being willing to share among ourselves but by sharing with the general public.
"You will probably read opinions here which are not the same as your own. If you do not want to read opinions that aren't the same as your own, this is probably not a comfortable place for you.
Every person posting here deserves your respect, and if you do not feel you can give that, your silence will do.
Personal attacks on another member of the group will get you banned from the group. Period, and at this point, I'm both the judge and the jury.
What's said in this group stays in this group--please do not take these discussions back over to our monthly thread.
If someone else wants to act as a leader of the group, please let me know."

Good evening ladies!
Yay for hydrangeas!
Yay for mice-eating snakes, as long as they stay far away from me!
Karen, I love that painting!
Today I ate 1083 calories. Yay! And I rode my bike for twenty minutes, and did my dumbbells. Yay! I had a deficit of 403! Yay! That is the score for day 2 of my sister challenge.
Tomorrow will be tricky. Sunday I normally don't exercise, but I might do the bike. And I might skip my usual ice cream. Because I was maintaining, and I have to work harder to see a loss.

Well my trip down the rabbit hole this evening was on genealogy. I hade gotten an email about information about a great grandfather. While looking at it decided to add one of my mom's half sister. Got her basic information and decided to add her husband-one of my favorite uncles. Went searching for their marriage record and have had no luck finding it. Discovered he had previous marriage and son from that marriage (that rang a bell in the back of my mind). I even signed up for Ancestry free trial even though I have everything on family search. Nothing for marriage record. I find her name changed to his and they are listed as husband and wife. Has me wondering about the two of them!
Oh well-that was a good distraction and it doesn't matter to me if thy were legal-they were fun!
Off to rest. Take care all,

I have enjoyed all the sharing about flowers. My flower knowledge is limited, not as limited as my friend who said that she didn't know a weed from a flower without a program. I can recognize the various bulb flowers I've planted (crocus, hyacinth, iris, daffodil, tulip, gladiola) and peonies, roses, lilac, wisteria, and daisies. My daily walking friend is a Master Gardener and recognizes and knows all the flowers and plants in the neighborhood and tells me about everything as they begin blooming. My Sunday walking friend grew up in Texas and talks a lot about the differences between what grows in Texas and in Washington. One of the reasons I wanted us to identify ourselves by location was to give some context when we talked about the plants in our yards. Thank you for all your sharing.
Lanette, One big reason that I can shop only bi monthly at Costco and limit my other shopping to weekly curbside pickup at one grocery store is that we eat the same things all the time. There is no impulse shopping for "something that looks interesting" and no hearing about a food on TV and deciding to fix something different at the last minute. Good planning and simple eating have been good for us.
Heather, Thank you for sharing the preparation for your trip. That is as interesting to me as the actual trip will be.
We just finished watching the final season of a show we have enjoyed and it feels like we have said good by to good friends. I often feel that way at the end of a book. The difference with the TV show is that Jake and I have watched together so it is a shared sadness.

For those who are upset about the publication of your private posts from a private group into this public thread, please note that I will be in touch with the moderators to delete the entire group, in order to avoid further violations. To those who might be a little confused, I am not talking about deleting this thread that you are reading at all, but a completely separate group.
I would delete it myself now, but when I built it in 2017, I was using a different email to sign in, and MFPs system just will not let me re-enter with that sign-in or let me delete it as a moderator. As Kim showed above, it was set up to be a private, safe place to take contentious posts to another space, and work things out there. Frustrating to know that your safety and privacy has been violated so badly. Trying to fix it as hard as I can, but it may take a little while.15 -

check out what dh came home with. It was downstairs at his mom's house- She had left the door open and it went in and she couldn't get it out. Dh went over- called me, said there was a bird in her house. He took the picture and sent it to me- thought it was going to be a sparrow or other wild bird- nope, baby chick. Must have come from the neighbor is our guess but they are out of town until Tues.
We went and got chick food and medicine for the water.
It will hang out in a beanie hat tucked in my shirt most of the time but has a box to eat/drink in and hang out in.

Debbie - your chick almost reminds me of a baby pheasant or quail with the markings on the head like that. I'm sure it will be a stunning adult! It looks happy all "tucked in".
What do your kitties think of it?

mom said the same thing about the markings. The guy at Tractor Supply said an Easter egger or some other chicken. Mom has Aracana/Easter Egg chickens so will fit in there if it doestnt belong to MIL's neighbor. He also said most likely wont survive being the only one. Going to try. All I can do.
Cats are ignoring it for the most part. Keeping an eye on him all the time.4
