    @Womona I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better.

    I still haven't gotten my act together for this month. I'm really ready though. Drinking for days or weeks in a row doesn't leave you feeling well. It's supposed to be 65° today and I would like to get out in the yard and do a little work. But, my balance and coordination aren't 100% again. So, I'll try to do what I can.

    I don't belong to a gym. We have one about a mile from here. But most of the exercises that I do, I can do at home. I like to do floor exercises for the core (abdominals, back, and pelvic floor) and some hip work. I mentioned the book I really like before. But it's called "6-Minute Core Strength" by Dr Jonathan Su, DPT.

    I haven't been to our gym in a while. So I'm not sure if they have an area for floor work (possibly upstairs). But I feel self-conscious doing floor work in front of people. I also have a complete set of hex dumbbells (5, 8, 10, 15, 20 and 25lb) and a decent set of Fitcord resistance bands, handles, ankle straps and anchors. I also have an exercise ball and wedges (I use them for calf raises. But many people use them for squats and lunges).

    I may join our gym with my husband though…just to motivate him to go. Plus, I do like the leg press machine, inner/outer thigh machine, stair climber among other things.

    And with the weather warming up, we'll be doing a lot of walking. We have a bike path behind our house, a lake about a mile away that has a trail all around it. It's a pretty big lake. So, we would have to work up to it. We also have an old log pond that the city recently developed with a walking path all around it. Again, I think it is a couple of miles around, so we'll have to work up to that one too.

    I'll report back when I've made some progress. You know I don't like to announce ahead…but I think I can be AF by Monday.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Good thing is I know you like to be alcohol free when your grand kids are there. You got this.

    @SunnyDays930 You can highlight a user's name the same way as before. Type the "@" sign and then copy and paste (or just type the user's name after the symbol). Just remember that usernames are case sensitive. For instance, if I typed your username in all lowercase it would not be highlighted. As you are typing the user's name a list should start appearing and you can select their name from the list. If the username isn't in the list you might check that you've spelled it right with the right case. My username has a capital S and capital G. So you have to take notice of that.

    Although, I'm using the web version. So I hope this was helpful.

    Happy sweet Birthday to you, @SparkSpringtime69! Your wine choice at dinner does sound like a big win — opting for one 9 ounce glass instead of two 6 ounce pours. Also, warm condolences on the loss of your friend. I’m sure the viewing was difficult as they usually are. I hope you can relax today.

    @NonnieDoiron you are a true trash warrior. That is an amazingly troubling amount of trash people have recklessly discarded.

    OK help me out folks. If I want to reply directly to someone’s post, I used to be able to click on “quote”, and the post I want to reference would appear and I could just type my reply. Now, it won’t let me do that. It looks like it will… but when I go to type my reply the quote doesn’t appear. Sometimes the whole purpose is so that I don’t have to type out someone’s username-it’s just easier.

    DidI miss the tutorial? Help!

    it’s just a tick too cold here to start gardening, but the daffodils are starting to pop up and I see buds in the trees!
