@everyone ~ I echo Diane's 'THANKS' for the kind messages. This is truly a labor of love. The OAL Team has been operating with a 'small staff' that does many things. We have had some bumps along the way but appreciate the patience/understanding/friendship of all of our loyal 5% Community!!1 -

Did you know there are new features in MFP? Posts are not private and any MFP member can read your posts even if the group is private and they arenโt in that group. (They don't need to be your friend.)
Your community MFP profile needs to be set to private to avoid this new problem.
Mine is now set to private. I donโt know if this will change or not and I donโt know how it will affect friend requests.0 -
@aalley5 - I just went to check out how private posts were by first going to a private group with discussions (still can't access without joining), then by looking at specific member profiles of people I am not MFP friends with. There were members where their activity page indicated they had discussions but showed nothing under activity or discussions. But I did try a more active member I am not friends with and I did see partial posts of private teams I am not a member of.
There were some limitations. Some comments just give the name of the thread but not the actual comment. If the comment is long, only part of it shows, and if you click on the comment to go to it, you are denied permission because you are not a member of that group. However, just going down the page reading what did show I learned a lot about her - her weight posts and Challenge points showed, the first couple questions of her team intro, where she was traveling and a few activities she was involved in.... This is very concerning for me. As a leader, I don't want a private profile as I need to be able to friend team members and sometimes folks interested in the 5% who are newbies and need to be able to see who I am. My days at MFP may be limited. This may be a deal breaker.
Edit: Actually, I just went to look at my own profile. If what I see on the screen is what other see, this IS a deal breaker. I really don't know if I will be continuing once this Challenge is complete. There is way too much personal info showing.1 -
@aalley5 - I had just made it private and I don't feel that is good for a team leader because others can't send us friend requests and that is necessary for the role I play on my team. The only possibility of me staying is if I can send requests to others and still connect that way for MFP Mail. But the problem with that is that when we get newbies and they get a friend request from me, they can't see who I am.1

Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Yesterday Chloe was fixed and it has been a whole ordeal. I slept on the couch with her last night because Chloe cannot go up stairs and she was whining all night. Not in pain but because of her having to wear the donut around her neck if we are not with her to monitor her and make sure she is not chewing her stitches. This morning she is doing a little better. Not whining or anything. She even ate a little but of food. Last time she tried that she threw up. We will see if that is the case this time.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I am ok. I took some time yesterday to prepare the house for when Chloe came home from surgery. She is doing well this morning. She ate a partial slice of turkey, and then laid down for a bit. I am trying to see if the food will stick.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Good morning!
Yesterday was a good day. We went for a good hike with the senior hiking group, walking the trails near a local lake. Weather is getting cool and it was windy due to the cold front that is coming in.
Today's plan is for another hike at a new place, then an ancestry webinar, and haircut.0 -
Diane: I know that it makes you smile when it is cold.0

@Dianedoessmiles1 Went to swim this morning and I had to scrape the windows. Woo wee 28 degrees is so cold but it made the 80 degree pool feel like a sauna. I should have put on a jacket but thought my sweats was sufficient. If only there was more room in the locker room. It's like hmmm how to stay neat and tidy. Forsake the heavy jacket until its not an option.0

@Tabatha_Cain hope Chloe is doing better today, that is an ordeal for them. Hugs
Sending good vibes to all of you

@Tabatha_Cain awww Chloe hon, your parents love you so much, they made this decision. She'll heal, but yes, its rough every time I have to do that to a kitty, but it's for the best.
@Lopeyp, Oh that sounds wonderful!! TY TY TY for sharing.
@Patti241, LOL I agree, it does make me Smile. At least you always know someone is very happy with it!! Two years ago when the wind chill hit -44 F in the early evening I WENT OUTSIDE!! I just HAD TO!! It was so neat!! I couldn't breathe easily at all (that made me laugh which isn't easy when you can't breathe) to this day I am so happy I did!
@Kurtize, I like that!0 -
Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and it is going to be a great day. Chloe is doing well. The sedation has completely wore off and she is feeling better with the pain meds I have been giving her. She wants to run and jump and all that stuff. Well it is really hard getting her to calm down. I think today we are going to try calming treats versus the sedation medication that obviously does not work. Because we tried it yesterday. She did not even care. She is supposed to be no stairs, jumping or running. Yeah that is a joke. We cannot get her to stop any of those things. It is crazy.
@Lopeyp - That is good that you went for a walk with your senior group.
@SweetPeasMom55 - That is definitely cold. I remember in high school we would go swimming in like February for Gym class. Oh I remember the warm pool and then freezing hair afterwards.
@Kurtize - Thank you. Chloe is doing great. She is wanting to jump, run, and climb stairs. All things she is not supposed to do right now. It is really hard keeping her down. The sedation medication they sent home is not working. She is not sedated at all.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. She is doing well. She is so darn hyper again. We are only 2 days post Op.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.
