Lisa Thank you!0

Carol - yes, I have gas stations close by to fill up the cars.
The stored gasoline is for the mower and generator. So I try to keep several gallons on hand, especially for the generator which I might need to run for several days to keep the fridge and freezer going if we lose power this winter.
UPDATE - Charlie stopped by late Sunday afternoon and filled the mower and put the rest of the gas in the car. He'll pick up the empty cans one of these days and get non-ethanol gas put in for me which stores better. Whew. He was working a block away - he has a mulcher - a big machine that conditions soil that was logged or has brushy debris for example, to smooth it out for building or planting. He said his gas bill was over $6000 last month.
Tracey - how sad about your cousin's accident. Crossing fingers the injuries are minor. That windchime is hilarious - it would sell well in my area. Hope your daughter and SIL have a good trip.
Heather - those canal photos (all of them, really) are just beautiful. What a lovely area, I can see why you like France so much. Thank you for taking us along.
Kim - we are so appreciative of what you went through with your mom - like you said, your research on assisted living places didn't pan out for her but you learned a lot you can share with others. Your cooking plans sound great and hope you are able to carve out some more "Kim" time.
How's our sweet Levi doing?
Rebecca - love that photo of Lee in his kilt and that terrific sweater. I think Aran is coming back in style.
Kylia - sounds like a nice weekend for you in the catch-up arena. It feels so good to get the little chores done like the cord sorting that will save frustration later, doesn't it? Been there many times. That business would be sunk without you, for sure. I wonder if SIL is an introvert who would rather play with paper than talk with customers and besides, you have it handled so if it works, don't fix it. I'm always happy to read when you are taking time for yourself and doing things you want to do instead of have to do. Hooray for your rain!
Ginny - hope you are feeling better today. I'll have to read up on the RSV shot, it's new to me.
Michele - hope Vince is doing better today. Crossing fingers you breeze through your flu shot.
Lisa - loved those puns- I wouldn't have thought twice about them 30 years ago and now they perfectly sum up my day.
"It's so weird being the same age as old people."
"My favorite childhood memory is my back not hurting."
"I don't want to 'Go Big,' I want to go home."
"The internet is broken, so I'm outside today."
Adventures at Home Depot:Yesterday morning I stopped at Home Depot to pick up a couple of plastic roofing panels to put around the chicken run & coop to keep the wind and rain out in preparation for the upcoming winter storms. I already had several in place, just needed a couple more. In the past, I'd find an employee on the floor and they'd cut the 8' panels in half so I could fit them in my car.
I was surprised yesterday when they paged an employee, he walked up grumpily and said "we aren't allowed to cut panels for people." I asked him since when, and he said that was always the rule and he'd been there 4 years. I said I'd speak to the manager.
Found her, and told her employees had cut them for me twice this summer. She said it's not allowed for liability reasons and what were the employees' names so they could be retrained. I didn't remember their names and wouldn't have told her anyway. The way she emphasized "retrained" several times made me think of a North Korean "retraining" camp, lol.
So rather than lecture her on customer service, I left. Now I'm wondering - are employees at fabric shops allowed to cut fabric for customers or are they under the same liability issues if handling scissors?
In the meantime I have plenty of heavy duty plastic sheeting and wood so I screwed together a frame, stapled plastic onto it, and it will work fine for a while. So the roofing panels weren't very critical. Gave me a chance to use problem solving skills.
Welcome new ladies! As you can see, we chat about a lot more than weight loss. I think the support in this lovely group on many topics sure helps us on our health journey.

Kylia I share to Facebook and then copy it from my laptop to here or an e-mail. I believe you can share it to an e-mail address too. Haven't tried that yet.1

Kylia ~ What a handsome family you have. They all look happy, well dressed, and are just good looking.
I send my phone pictures to my email address and then I can put them on Facebook or MFP or save them to My Pictures on my PC. There's probably an easier method but I am a slow learner when it comes technology.
Lanette ~ Is there a Lowe's store near yo? I usually like going there instead of Home Depot.
Michelle ~ My "new-to-me" car is a 2019 Honda Pilot. I thought it came with navigation but this particular model doesn't. Right now I can't figure out how to turn the audio on and can only get FM radio stations because I can't figure out how to get AM stations. Can't get the parking sensor to turn on. I have figured out how to use the phone.
Rebecca ~ I would love having a cable knit vest like you husband loves.
Feeling sorry for myself. What do you do when your husband wants to sleep most of the day and then is up most of the night? I am beginning to feel like a widow. Can't plan to do anything together after lunch because he has to have his nap and it usually last 3 to 6 hrs.
Carol in GA8 -
Rosemarie ... I agree with the others in regards to being caregiver for your mom. I also wonder why your brother thought your mom needed to be relocated. Is she having problems or was he just looking at her age?
Annie ... I'm thinking about you and your mom and dad. You are not in an easy spot. Hugs.
Kim ... I agree that there is more to consider than just the cost when it comes to facilities for loved ones who are aging. We are spending a lot of money for my mother's care, and I cringe every time I receive the monthly bill, but I have weighed the positives/negatives. For many reasons, I cannot be her full-time caregiver. More importantly, she needs the social interaction that her assisted living facility provides. Of course she complains non-stop about the place, but she also has stories to tell every time I visit.
Lanette ... that you for Dr. Matt's links!
Heather ... it is unlikely that I will ever travel and certainly not like you do. I love your photos!
Tina ... share your travel photos!
Carol ... my husband and I have opposing sleep schedules most of the time too. I'm a morning person and he's a night owl. We usually do things together late morning into early afternoon. The siding project has messed up his sleep schedule though and I'm taking advantage of it!
I'm struggling with making healthy food choices and exercising more. October, for some reason, is always a problem for me. But today, I'm recommitting to making some sustainable changes ... which really means doing what I know works for me.

Ginny - Hope you're recovering fast from the RSV shot. There are four I need to get - pneumonia, flu, covid booster, and probably the RSV, and I don't know whether to have more than one on the same day or space them out and feel like ca-ca four different times... I'll see my primary care guy in early November, and will ask him them, I guess. Other than my pottery class and a little shopping, I'm seldom around anyone else.
Lanette - RSV was new to me, as well, 'til my grands and then my daughter all came down with it this time last year. Didn't know they already had a vaccine out for it. Liability has become much more important than customers' needs in so many arenas, so I wasn't surprised by the Home Depot manager response.
Kylia - Glad the photo thing worked...
Your grands are just beautiful--they grow so stinkin' fast. Corey reminded me that our oldest grandson will be a teenager next year, and it hardly seems possible.
Michele - Hope Vince is better and that you dodge the 'flu!
Kim - Corey and I have found that neither one of us is good at cooking for just two (anything I cook seems to grow to feed four to six people, no matter what. ) But we're figuring out on a case-by-case basis how to freeze or flash freeze anything we make, whether before or after we actually get it cooked. More on that below. I'm so sorry your mother put you through all that, but will add my vote to what Lanette says, we're grateful you did the research, and it may well be key for you or others that you care about.
Carol - There are lots of options, but I can see two off hand - you can join him and change your schedule, or you can do something that makes sense to you during the day. It might be time to start doing things on your own, dear heart. Take up a hobby that is your own, and not a computer game, like playing with clay (my latest thing) or painting - you might be surprised at what's inside you if you let your creativity loose. Take a class during his nap times, like pottery or flower arranging, or making cards like Terri does. Don't say you can't do it until you try! Go volunteer at a soup kitchen, like Michele does, or something similar. Just a few thoughts.
Adventures in Domesticity:\Regarding freezing food: With main dishes like stew or beef stroganoff, we're more likely to eat it again if we fully cook it all, and then freeze what's remaining in meal-sized freezer bags--we're having stroganoff tonight, in fact, that we made on October 1. I ate a smaller bag of it last week for lunch, this bag will feed both of us, and we have one more left. One effort, seven individual meals. Tonight is just a matter of making egg noodles to serve with it, then adding light sour cream to the heated mixture.
Oh - and I made focaccia this morning. Last week, we took the last of what we had in the freezer and made individual pizzas from it, so I'm making some to go with tonight's meal and will freeze the rest. It's super easy to put together, but it's a long-rise dough, so it needs a whole day to rise twice and then bake. The first one I made lasted four months in the freezer, cut into three pieces of bread per bag, and was terrific as garlic bread or just a meal accompaniment.
With salmon patties and meatballs and other individual types of main dish servings, they flash freeze really well before cooking, on sheet trays in the freezer, and then we put them in freezer bags. That goes for cookies at the dough stage, of course, and I learned when I was doing lots of bread baking that bread dough freezes very well prior to the first rise. Freezers are just a lifesaver.
On other domestic notes, Egg wasn't thrilled with me running the vacuum cleaner early this morning, but I pulled up the bathroom rugs and got them in the wash first thing, while I was still putting my coffee together. While I had the rugs up, I wanted to vacuum and mop the bathroom. Then after that, since I had about 45 minutes on the vacuum's battery charge, I got the high-traffic areas vacuumed, plus the kitchen and the mud room.
I got triggered on the subject because I ran across some clickbait yesterday on the dirtiest thing in your house. Turned out it was bathroom rugs. Between people's hair, pet hair, dampness which creates a great atmosphere for bacteria, mold, mildew etc., skin cells, the usual dust mites, and dander, and then add the fact that most people only wash the rugs about every second or third month, they get pretty yucky.
I do tend to forget about bath mats, even though I wash my bath towels every time I use them. I had so many issues over the years with yeast infections when I was younger, as well as urinary tract infections, that I got in the habit of never reusing a towel. Corey only throws his towel in the wash once a week, and I don't argue, it's his choice to make, not mine. Sheets, because there are the two of us and we tend to shower daily, I wash every two weeks. In the summer, if they seem a little funky, I'll wash them once a week.
I know I'm not exactly little Susie Homemaker, but I think of myself as reasonably clean. Do you have a schedule for certain tasks like those?
I have rattled on here between making the focaccia, getting a Walmart order in with the flip-top glass jars I wanted for the pantry for flour and sugar, etc. Still moving away from plastic storage.
Time for the rest of my Monday chores, laundry, getting my meds organized for the week, etc., and need to get the dishwasher going with the dishes from making the focaccia!
Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa in Arkansas6 -
Hi Gals,
Lisa – I have no schedule for house cleaning/laundry/etc.
Laundry especially in the winter is as much as possible done based on outdoor weather as my preference is to hang my laundry on the clothes line, so I will watch for a reasonably clear dry day and do wash the night before and hang it first thing. Summer I will also do the wash the night before or after lunch so the clothes are not out in the direct sun….. We also have this time of day pricing on electric, so it is the most expensive between 4pm-9pm so I try to work around that for as much as I can. I vacuum and dust at least once a week – if it is a time of shedding for Levi’s coat, I can vacuum as often as daily. And unlike some of you I have company often (I would guess an average of every 2 weeks), so that makes for a more through cleaning.
I was surprised that bath mats are considered a dirty item, I hang mine over the shower curtain rod when not in use, so it is dry and not being walked on unless you are taking a shower/tub. And I am not a fan of being watched while I am doing bathroom business, so no pets allowed LOL I probably only wash mine once a month.
So in converting to Medicare from non-old insurance (LOL) the doctor was required to give me a yearly physical, which I did last week. My primary care doctor was all concerned about a spot on my tummy as skin cancer – sent me right over to dermatology for an examination. They took all sorts of pictures with fancy cameras for the oncologist to look at. I had not noticed the spot so when I got home I looked at it and then touched it and realized it was a bit tender like when there is a splinter – well I have been working at both my home at a friends with roses kinda felt like a thorn, and I get red around thorns most times, so I squeezed and out popped the thorn – put on a little Neosporin and its all healed up and gone. Kind cracked me up that instead of touching it they all jumped to the skin cancer concern. But certainly much happier to have a thorn in my tummy than cancer.
Love ya all,
Kim in N. California

1.Write down three things you can look forward to this month. 1. Another month of sobriety 2. Cooler weather 3. Decorating for Halloween14. Do something constructive to improve a difficult situation.

2. Find something to be optimistic about (even if it’s a difficult time). I am optimistic about cooler weather.
3. Take a small step to a goal that really matters to you. I need to call my uncle.
4. Start the day with the most important thing on your to-do-list. Updating this list and My Fitness Pal.
5. Be a realistic optimist. See life as it is but focus on what’s good. I usually hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I think this counts!
6. Remind yourself that things can change for the better. No matter how bad you think it is, it can always get worse. So enjoy life no matter where you are, or what you are doing, or your circumstances.
7. Look for the good in people around you today. I can do this if I try. This was not difficult to do with visitors. Employees were a different matter!

12. Look out for positive news and reasons to be cheerful today. With everything going on around me and in me this will be hard, but I will pay attention to good news.
13. Ask for help to overcome an obstacle you are facing. The obstacles I have cannot be solved by me, but by family members.
15. Thank yourself for achieving the things you often take for granted. I got up in a thankful mood today so I should be able to do this. The eclipse yesterday couldn’t have gone better.
16. Put down your to-list and do something fun or uplifting. I will color, walk, and meditate-all things that are fun and uplifting to me.17. Take a small step toward a positive change you want to see in society.

Story about ghouls/silver/and garlic…. Right during and after the divorce to my abusive DH, my YDD started complaining about nightmares. Well we often watched or read stories about ghoulish monsters, so I explained to her that garlic ‘worked’ to keep vampires/werewolves/witches, and other monsters away from the house. So for about a year, my house smelled of garlic. I “had” to put garlic on EVERY windowsill, not only hers to get rid of her nightmares! Once I did that, her no more complaints about nightmares. LOL she felt safer with the garlic. Her bad dreams were always of monsters.
So in this Halloween time.. if any of you are having nightmares or afraid monsters will get into your house, I have proven that garlic works! 🤪👽🛸👾😈😹👻

FYI,,,garlic to fend out ghouls is a REAL thing! LOL see the article in the spoiler

Hello ladies!
Thank you for your kind thoughts and support. It really helps a lot.
Meanwhile I am waiting for the electrician and researching smoke detectors. The newest ones have ten year batteries, a wifi connection, and a voice alarm that warns about the siren. And I could turn the siren off from my phone. Of course the new ones are pricey, and we need nine of them. Hmm. We shall see what the electrician says. Today is the estimate, and maybe some work.
I hope they are done in time to let us go visit Mom.

That photo of husband was back when we lived on the Oregon coast. He was growing out his hair and his mustache! Now he's clean shaven and I shave his head with a #3. This morning he took all his button down, collared long sleeved shirts and washed them. He's been just wearing tees with sweaters, and his heavy rugby shirts most of the time. So I said, well you should just wear your suspenders as well, (jokingly said) but he said, "ooh I have to find them"! Oh heaven help me.😁. He should very entertaining though.💖🤗

DH's daughter came to pick us up today . I thought it was tomorrow, but I suspect DH was not clear enough. Anyway, it all worked out perfectly. We are also being taken out for lunch by her for his birthday tomorrow. I'm going to try to book the fish restaurant near here.
We drove to her house in the village. It is much bigger than I imagined, but cluttered, dirty with pets, and smelly. Could be fabulous, but it made me shudder. Two dogs and five cats. I couldn't even sit down!!! So much hair and yuck. We walked around the village, met lots of neighbours, and saw a house and barn/garage below she has recently bought for £37,000 where she hopes to keep her classic cars. Her ex husband and best friend is planning to retire there and do up the accommodation above. I'm sure it's a ruin, but a good space.
Then we drove to a lovely, typical French café for lunch. Great lunch, but we had smoke blown all over us from a nearby guy. This is the biggest disadvantage of France. In Brighton and Hove almost no one smokes. We almost stopped coming to France because of this problem.
After that we drove around the beautiful countryside to an olive oil factory. We can only take back liquids in less than 100ml, so had to choose a couple of mini things, but we have green olives for tonight.
Then we drove along tha canal to a winery and tasted a few. She bought her dad a couple of bottles for us to have in our oom for aperitif and to go with tonight's picnic.
Came back and immediately went out to buy picnic. Lovely cured meats, Cantal cheese, carrotte rapée, celeri remoulade, bread. M&Ms. We bought a cheap corkscrew for the wine, paper plates and bamboo cutlery. It was all cheaper than half a meal out.
So, now relaxing and about to open the amazing white wine she bought us.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx9 -
Ok, he found them.
Now he says when we go down south to see the kids, we should go to the mall there, and look at sport coats, or "waistcoat" sweater vests. He's excited, and its nice to see.
Heather, its hard to acclimate in environments you're not keen to, but you did great. My middle sons home has dog hair one side to the other, so husband and I don't stay there if its both of us. My son used to be hurt by this a little, as when its just me visiting, I do stay there. He just tells people, "my Dad doesn't like my dogs" which I kind of feel bad about that. Smokers in a restaurant would affect me greatly. My middle smokes and takes long drags when she's video chatting with me. I never say anything but to me if she didn't smoke she would not have the wheezing that she has when she talks. Pick and choose my battles is what I repeat in my brain.
Love all the photos, and you taking the time to vicariously take us along in your back pocket.💖👍🏼

Rebecca - He looks so much healthier in the current picture!2

Kim - so glad your questionable ouchie turned out to be a thorn. Good to have that worry out of the way.
Lisa - your talk of foccacia has inspired me to make a pizza tomorrow. For years, that was the Saturday night favorite at our house and I loved making the dough and that yeasty smell stuff. I had to buy new flour - the bag I had in the cupboard expired a year ago. That's how long it's been since I baked anything. I'll stick the new bag in the freezer once I scoop out what I need right now.
Carol - the nearest Lowe's is about 30 miles from my house. If I'm set on getting plastic roofing panels, I'll see if any of the local hardwares carry them. And I have other options - Charlie's wife volunteered to pick some up for me and bring them out. In that case, I need to sit down and figure how many I'll need so I don't have her wasting trips running for one panel at a time. I have my heavy duty snips and can cut them to size. I'm anxious to see how my jerry-rigged plastic panel works and just be content with that.
Have your DH's sleeping habits changed a lot recently? Just thinking maybe he's not sleeping well at night for some reason so is catching up with the long naps. Hopefully it's a temporary thing.
Beth - I was glad to hear the end is in sight on the house siding project before the weather turns. And I remember what you went through to get your mom closer. Glad it worked out.
Heather - I just read your latest update on DH's daughter's place. Interesting - a big change from your cozy well-organized house for sure. Sorry about all the smoke -I wonder if lung cancer and COPD rates are super high there. Happy Birthday to him, by the way.

I feel that way about dh most of the time- mine isn't napping, well, sometimes he is, but is always in his room with the door closed(closed to keep the cats out so he can be on his laptop or working on a project without the cats in the middle of it)
He does nap in the afternoon if he gets a chance then goes to his mom's at 4:30(plus at 9:30AM and stays an hour and a half or longer each time). He has been eating over there, says she gets mad if he doesn't eat something- isn't hungry for dinner at home but then after I go to bed, he is up in the kitchen snacking on something, other than what I cook and stays up well past midnight.
Only time we spend any time together is to go shopping- that man LOVES to shop- shops pretty much every day. Mostly for his mom's stuff now but just to go shopping too.

Kylia - I understand now why SIL is the way she is. That was always the expectation and it doesn’t sound like she really wanted/wants to do more.
It sounds like a productive day. I need to go through cords and such again.
Lovely photos of your family.
Lanette - Im going to try to sell this at a craft fair here too. I think it will be a hit.
I haven’t tried to get wood cut here at Home Depot for quite some time, but I know they used to. It does say they still will on Google, but it specifies some stores.
My cousin’s son had a dislocated hip, dislocated arm in two places and broken in one. They put him to sleep to reset the hip and did another X-ray to find he has a broken pelvis. His wife and their children are ok. His wife has some bruises, his eldest daughter has seatbelt burns. Their friend and her son were also released.
They were on a side by side in unfamiliar territory and went over a ravine. Thankfully, someone driving on the main road saw lights and knew they were heading in the wrong direction and stopped. They were able to call for help immediately.
He is now in an Edmonton hospital and will have surgery today or tomorrow.
Carol - I have had the same problem with a husband that doesn’t want to do anything. I finally decided that I would just do on my own. I am a people person and can’t handle being alone all the time. As a matter of fact I’m upset about that myself right now too. DH has been off since last Thursday and has done nothing but stay in the bedroom and watch tv and play on his phone. Meanwhile I sit in the living room alone. It’s frustrating.
Lisa - I try to do my sheets every couple of weeks, my bath mat I don’t think about too often but will now! I just washed all of my curtains a few weeks ago when I did a deep clean. My downfall is scrubbing the floors. I hate my mop and really need to buy something new. I’m thinking of just a swiffer wet jet. It’s better than the nothing I do now.
I used to worry about having a schedule like my Grandmother.
Laundry - Monday
Iron - Tuesday
Dust - Wednesday
Vacuum - Thursday
I forget what Friday and Saturday were, baking one day I’m sure.
I gave up on trying to keep that schedule years ago because I worked. Then I tried to do all cleaning on Saturday and laundry Sunday.
Now I just do things as I feel like it.
Kim - Isn’t there an old saying when someone is grumpy, “do you have a thorn in your side”? It is kind of funny they panicked about cancer, but also good they took notice.
Heather - I don’t like going to peoples houses with a lot of pets, but when the person is important to me I suck it up.
Started a new session for school today, Autism Spectrum Disorder. Interesting really.
After class I tried the two walk ins in town to see a doctor. I have a bad case of vertigo. There were no doctors available. I truly don’t think this is an emergency situation so don’t want to waste their valuable resources, but I’m not sure where to go or what to do.
I could drive into Edmonton, but don’t think I would have much luck there either.
My own doctor can’t see me, I tried that too.
I took my dishwasher apart to see why it’s not draining properly, I don’t know if I fixed it or not, will have to see when it runs through again.
