    Oh ugh, I hear a peacock, much too close. Yes, they’re beautiful, but as noisy as guineas, as dirty as ducks, and will scratch your car’s paint. Peacock, go home!

    @Dianedoessmiles1 Love your kitty pics. I wish I could post pics from my iPad. What does MFP have against iPads?? If I could, I’d post one of little Eve and her twenty four toes. Yesterday I took a good one showing the perfect white heart marking on her underside.

    Something I did tell my younger self that made a difference. I won’t go into the back story, but I told my younger self to NEVER, NEVER miss out on doing something important to me just because no one wanted to go with me. That decision was one of my best.

    @Evamutt , If only we knew the things ahead of time what we could do to prepare for in the way that we wish we had wow! If I could do it all again I would want to be a teacher. I'm glad you got to work in the ICU. Whatever what you did there was very needed. It still is no doubt. Thank you so much for helping others that we're going through a hard time. Support staff is still support staff no matter if it's cleaning floors, bringing trays, clerical it doesn't matter it's all extremely necessary to make it work. Thank you for that. As a senior I was able before the pandemic to be a *kitten* to grandmother in a second grade class. It would be on fun I am extremely grateful I got to do that. I know I don't often take it so I never know when to catch this one and it's always a gambler You should be able to do that
    @Tabatha_Cain, Hi Tabitha welcome back. Lol lol from how we missed each other between the winter and spring change over. Hope you enjoyed lunch! I almost got nothing from there today but then I decided not to.
    @Sableness, MyFitnessPal is really weird as far as putting in pictures. On my Android I can only do it on the news feed. But on my computer I cannot do it on a new speed but I can on everything else. I know there's a way to post them with an iPad if on the news feed You ask how somebody found it know. I would love to see Eve paws. She's so cute! I agree on not missing out on something that you want to do because of someone else.

    I would tell my younger self to do all those things you wanted to do, go to those places you dreamed about. You get older so fast and then it's much harder & having to consider other people's wishes sucks.

    Two more days and I have a week off but going to be working on taxes. Hallelujah anyway!!

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - oh my goodness your kitties are sweet!

    Does anyone know how we know if we've been accepted on a Team? I'm new to this group and am just wondering. I signed up for Rain Dancers.

    I appreciate any info! Thanks :smile:

    Have a great day everyone!

    @cory17, woohoo on the days off soon!! Ugh Bill on the taxes. A necessary evil, which I gladly pay because it provides so many various services that we never even give thought about. It is always stressful though having to figure out that and this, on the forms,

    I wish you had been able to do the traveling that you wanted to do. I learned very young for my grandmother to do what I could when I was young. I did a whole lot of travel. At this point I don't want to do anymore but I'm going to but I don't want to. Lolol that makes no sense. I'm way more of a homebody now. And my kitties will miss me.

    Hi Lilith40! WooHoo you have successfully signed up for the Rain Dancers. Most likely you'll be with them. Approximately around the 27th you'll likely be invited. Id suggest start looking from the 15th on under groups. You'll see the invite just above the groups you currently belong to. You are love the Rain Dancers!! It's a very nice team.

    @Tabatha_Cain - I always thought the 1st day of spring was the 20th, then I saw google saying it is the first day of spring, when I checked further, it is either the 19th or 20th depending on where you live, one article said it was at 11:59 pm on the 19th. I learned something new. LOL :D

    We finally found trees we both like, bought 2 of them, nice size and price, $167. 50 each. We had them delivered (no charge). Will take a picture of them, they are Nellie Stevens holly trees. Grows in height and width, grows in height about 2 feet a year. They are good for privacy and good wind blockers.
    This Friday is the park's women's luncheon which I plan on attending. Nothing else new, Hugs and blessings.

    Every decision you make - every decision - is not a decision about what to do.
    It’s a decision about Who You Are.
    When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes.
    You begin to see life in a new way.
    All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities
    to do what you came here to do.

    I am looking forward to starting this challenge. I am trying to find ways of focussing on weight-loss as a positive thing, rather than dwelling on letting myself get to this stage & what I need to give up to lose weight again. Some fun challenges would be great!
    I'll try to add a photo of my little dog-

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday. Joe and I had church Life Group last night and we had a wonderful time. Things are going well. Today I start my medication for my new diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. So we will see how the medication works. I know it will take time to get into my system and do its job. So we will see how it goes. I am excited to get the pain to go away. I am starting on the base dose and then moving up from there. So we shall see. Today I will be out on the road doing some door dash. I am hoping to earn some decent money. It has not been easy this week. This weekend I think Joe and I are going to go to Palm Sunday service. That will be fun. Tomorrow I am back at the doctor to see if they will order an MRI of my back to see if I have a hairline fracture of my lower back since I fell on the 10th. The Chiropractor did x-rays and said it looks like a possible hairline fracture there.

    @Sableness - Wow I assumed they were trouble, but did not realize they were dirty. They always look so nice. That is a good thing to say. So many times people don't want to do something because no one will go with them. I am in that category.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I have not figured out how to add a photo to my newsfeed. I cannot figure it out either way. So I am hoping someone can teach me. That would be nice.
    @cory17 - That is so true. We do age so quickly. Congrats on the days off. Those are definitely needed.
    @Kurtize - Yeah I just don't pay attention only because it does not change the weather. Here we have snowed all the way to the end of April so Spring really does not say much here. Yay on getting the trees. Those are expensive but they sound like they will be a really good tree.
    @CateAussie - Very cute puppy. Weight loss is a mindset. Yes sometimes it really stinks when you need to choose to eat healthy versus eating junk. However it is so beneficial. My cholesterol is way down and I was pre diabetic and I am not anymore. I am in a really good range. So it is pretty amazing all the things eating right and healthy can do for your body.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

    @cory17 Good one. We spent a bundle on travels last year, but figured we should do it while we’re able. I visited D2 in Colorado and stayed at the Mother Cabrini Shrine (has anyone seen the movie?), visited friends in Great Britain (New Forest) and Norway on a Cunard Queen Victoria cruise with D1, and husband and his older brother spent six weeks driving all over the US and Canada visiting family, some of whom they hadn’t seen in decades. My best was taking two flights and a 3.5 hr drive to visit Imustloseit1 and meet in person after ten years of being friends on SP by phone, texts, packages, facebook, and email. I have a pile of pictures, wonderful memories, and a solid friendship with her and husband and their cats. Iowa farm life was brand new to me and quite exciting for this urban Florida person!

    I’ve never found a way to post pics on the newsfeed or anywhere else from my iPad. I think I heard once that you have to download your pics elsewhere and then fiddle with it. I need something simple if anyone has suggestions.

    Good afternoon all. @Sableness I can only post pictures on newsfeed from my phone. It's Android. I wish I could help but know nothing about iPads.

    Here is a picture of the trees we got for the house, will be planted next week.

    @Kurtize, LOVE The trees!! Nice idea to block the wind. LOL We got hardly any snow, but WAY TO MUCH WIND! What is Park womens luncheon?
    @Cateaussie, Awww what a cutee dog!! By this time next week many will be on their teams. Exceptions may be those waiting for a team. We love those on the waiting for a team lists!! They help us to fill out any of the other teams who's members do not join (Rare, but happens!) but they'll be on shortly after!! WOOHOO!! If you'd like a hint right off, if you aren't currently tracking your food, WITHOUT SHAME! It's a great place to start. I'd recommend eating as you are unless you personally wish to tweak any changes. Also to be sure you are getting in the right calories unless you've recently joined MFP to from the home page click on the SETTINGS Button on the darker blue button (using computer/tablet). Next on the right hand side of the page click on Update Diet/Fitness Profile and update it. If you're doing these already there's more we can suggest, but without overhwelming you. We never want to do that! Please let us know if it is.
    @Tabatha_Cain, Hope tonight goes well!! Curious what they do for fibro meds? I was diagnosed in the early 90s. I've adjusted to it. Is your phone an IPhone or Android? If it's an android use the app. It'll only it on the app. When the app opens on the bottom is a blue line click on NewsFeedNear the top you'll see Share Something. It has the camera icon there that'll give you 3 options the bottom one I've never used, but you can take a photo or choose a photo. Hope this helps.
    @patti241, HI Patti, what did you do today?
    @Sableness, thats so cool you did all that traveling!! I did a lot in my younger years. It's so much fun to meet others from here in person!! I've met the woman who was the Captain of the Spirited Under Dawgs back when we were on SParks Maryanngi. She lived in New Hampshire and I am in Maine, we were able to visit 4 pr 5 times. Sadly she was in a bad car accident though they did all they could, in the end ,, she had a living will filled out, she and I were very close friends, her Son and I signed the papers to honor her request since she had zero quality of life. I miss her still. I also met @Katljm !! She's a hot ticket that gal!! Her H is as nice as she is. They are so good together! Please ask on your team chat and see if anyone uses an Ipad to find out how to post, or better yet put a post on your newsfeed, I am SURE someone will answer it. And if not, you can always google it oops!! Siri it. LOL I am an android person.

    Hello, I'm looking forward to the next challenge. I've only found it last summer & love doing it. @CateAussie it's fun. Your dog is so cute. I love dogs, we have 5. don't give up anything you don't want to to lose weight unless it's for a medical reason. Eat with a maintenance mindset, that is eat the things you would for the rest of your life, just fit them in your daily or weekly calories & focus on habit changes & if you're currently eating too much of one thing that you want to eat less of, just start with eating one less than you usually do & be kind to yourself.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday. I have a doctors appointment this morning and then I will be going to work. Today is going to be a good day. I started my Fibro med yesterday and well the nausea was rough. I would yawn and feel like I was going to get sick, but I have to say that even day 1 and the pain all over was lessened. That was great. It was so nice to be able to move around without stiffness and pain and all that. It is so nice to have a doctor who believes me. I have been dealing with this since I was 15 with bad joints and they just told me to either stop marching band or use braces on my knees. So I used braces on my knees under my uniform. I was not giving up band. Good thing I did not or I would not have met my husband. Man he has been so good to me through all this. He really has been.

    @Sableness - That sounds like a fun trip. I can't figure it out either. I am going to keep trying though.
    @Kurtize - Those are some cute trees. They are going to be great when they grow up.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. They actually started me on cymbalta. I took it yesterday for the first time and I have to say that I finally did not have a ton of pain. So we shall see. That does help thank you.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

    Happy Friday, going to a potluck ladies luncheon at our park today. @Dianedoessmiles1: The 55 + community we live in has all different activities, and this luncheon is one of them. It is a little cool outside, 54 and breezy, Kayla is at the groomers. Nothing else new or exciting. Hugs all

    @Sableness - Great to be on the same team with you again! I think of you often and try to keep track of what you're doing on MFP. I'm not sure when I'll get back to St. Pete area - traveling gets harder and harder for me, but hopefully sometime next year.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and it is going to be a good and busy day. I have laundry and several other things to get done today. Yesterday was chilly but sunny. That was a nice change since the day before that we had a snow storm and acquired 4 inches of snow. I look out my window this morning and there is still snow on the ground. Yesterday was not warm enough to melt it all. My backyard is still really covered in it.

    @macrat12 - I do hope you enjoyed that casino. Our casino has wonderful restaurants in it which of course are expensive, but we only eat there once in a while.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

    HI ALL!! Many of you know I live on the coast of Maine. We lost electricity last night and got it back this afternoon. I am so far behind. But I AM HERE!! Only right along the ocean did this happen. We had been told it was going to snow (It did) go to sleet for a tiny bit and 2"s of rain. Instead it stayed cold and turned to freezing rain.

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and Joe and I are back at work today. This week was not as beneficial with Door Dash due to being busy at life and the weather. So we did not earn as much, but it is alright. We still made enough. Today Joe and I will be going out and doing door dash tonight. It is supposed to be in the 60's today, which will be nice. I am looking forward to today.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - So glad you are alright. Freezing rain is rough, but it is very pretty as long as you don't have to go out in it.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 It's horrible to deal with, but it certainly was beautiful in the park!

    Here in central New Hampshire, we got mostly snow -- 18 to 20 inches of it. There were times when there was a little sleet, but mostly snow. I keep saying to myself that its spring and it will go away soon...
