    April - so sorry to hear about your heart problems. Seems like sometimes these things just happen - you've been under a LOT of stress and anxiety lately. Our bodies are so good at healing, hoping the cardiologist and the stress test/echo show things have cleared up. Good to get this checked out, for sure. Thank you for keeping us in the loop! <3

    Vicki - sorry the bike show didn't pan out. People are out of control these days it seems. Hope they can get your heart under control.

    Debbie - Happy Early Birthday!

    Michele - that's a whopping assessment. I'm sure too much for many people to bear. :(

    Has anyone heard from Kylia? Missing her. Maybe Ginny has been in touch.

    Ginny - sounds like you'll be all ready for your company. I believe you said they are looking to move back to Ohio?

    After the Facebook kerfuffle died down, I did go ahead and change my password on everything just in case a hacker was busy. I don't go onto Facebook much anymore but like to keep Messenger open.

    McAfee applied the credit almost immediately yesterday, I checked my Visa. But when I look at my McAfee account, it shows it was renewed until April of 2025? I must have scared the wits out of that gal, lol. I have a hunch it will catch up. Thinking of buying a whole new laptop this year, eventually retiring this one. I'll check into a different anti-virus. Yesterday was the third "encounter" I've had with McAfee over the past couple years. All of the big anti-virus programs are probably just as frustrating to deal with.

    All of this anti-virus shopping gives me major decision fatigue in a matter of minutes! :s

    Margaret, I'm really glad you picked me out of the crowd to rebuke. As I said, Michele, I am in the same situation. No wonder I was an easy target.

    I did learn that the sooner you can file for survivor benefits the better. I waited forty-five minutes on the phone to try to make an appointment at an office. (I put on speaker and continued to work on the computer) Turns out they make a phone appointment with you. It will be a month and a half out. Fortunately I saved last year so my cash flow will be fine while I wait for this to get resolved.

    So life is pulling me forward and as I told the coroner between DH and son I have been grieving for 15 years. I still grieve but I do not let it keep me from enjoying my life. My new eating habits and reducing exposure to toxins is also helping me feel strong.

    :heart: Margaret

    I am still trying to get mom to get her appointment so she can get dad's SS.It has been over 3 yrs.
    First they were not making appointments because of Covid and then they were backed up and then she just let it go. I keep bugging her about it.
    I had heard that it will be retro pay but not sure how far back they will go. She could really use the extra income. I need to find out for sure- that will be a push for her to get in and do it.
    I have offered to take her to the appointment- can't push too hard(did that before with bad results)

    She keeps telling me that she will call the next day. Still waiting

    Brackets around a name mean "hugs".

    Cilantro is of the devil. Hate it. It's so sneaky.

    That is all. :)

    Cilantro is AWESOME!!!!

    LOL In class one afternoon, I made some comment about how Cilantro was the worst tasting thing ever, and the class was divided. Half of the class, or more, were ready to defend it to the end; the other half agreed with me. It's funny how it is a food that is either an all or nothing thing. You either love it or hate it. There's no, "it's okay."

    I'm an "it's OK " with cilantro. I can take it or leave it.

    This evening ...

    - walked Rhody
    - coloured
    - recreated a frustrating Sudoku in Excel and finished it. I had made a mistake on the first go, and with all my scribbling, couldn't "see" it. When I popped it into Excel, it came together quite nicely.

    I've treated myself with a three-quarter sleeve T shirt from M&S. Navy, slash neck. It's incredibly cheap, but there's postage. Their T shirts are good quality and I thought it would be a good weight for Spring in Europe.
    I had my eye on an outrageously priced t shirt from another company, but can't justify the price. Plus it was a more silky material and might have shown up my lumps and bumps.
    I do still very much need a couple of short sleeves. I prefer them longer in the sleeve, elbow length, but they are more difficult to find.
    Happy to treat myself to something. I rarely buy clothes.

    Haven't heard anything about an X-ray from the doctor. I also rang the hospital physio dept this morning, left a message, but have heard nothing back.
    I am probably going to go straight to private physio. My son swears by the one he goes to who has treated Olympic athletes. :p
    I would like an X-ray first though, just to rule things out. We have a very accessible walk in centre near here, so all I need is a referral.

    I limped out to the shops this morning. Bought mozzarella for homemade pizza tonight.
    I also posted my poo-stick test back to the test centre. It's a much improved version from how it used to be. We get them every two years, and don't do routine colonoscopies.

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxx

    Annie, well done on your continued exercise regime. I'm waiting for our bit of snow to go so I can get out and do more walking. Another frigid morning here but should be the last as we are going into a warming trend.

    Will be getting back to my income tax this morning and hopefully complete it. I think I can transfer some of DH's unused credits to me to avoid paying.

    Made a new fried rice recipe yesterday that turned out well. It was baked in the oven instead of stove top.....so easy and less work.
