Senior Golden Sneakers - February 2011

jstalittlecrzy

Hi everyone and thanks for the greetings - I will get to know names in a little while but now its a little confusing, so forgive me,
My second day is going well so far, except for the exercise part. I gotta go walk for a while. Exercise is not my thing, especially in winter.
I was lucky, weatherwise, yesterday, when just about everyone in central and southern Wisconsin got hit with another snow storm.
Up here it was sunny and about 22 degrees. I am getting tired of winter and will welcome spring with open arms. But the mid-twenties are still much better than the -30's we had.
In addition to my 2 pups - a 120 lb chocolate lab, and a 20 lb shih-tzu - I have 2 horses. They keep me busy and somewhat active,
cleaning, hauling, emptying........you all know what! Winter is always a challenge, especially when it is really cold.
Stay warm, healthy and happy.
Gotta go feed horses and walk for awhile.

Yes, Marie I agree about the cooking and dishes etc...I just mentioned to my husband a while ago that women never get to retire...men, they can go fishing, hunting...we have the same old thing everyday...time for me to count my blessings....LOL

Oh SHOOT! My Reply got lost in cyberspace. Will try to get back, but Mike is STARVED and I must come up with something quick!
Hope I remember to tell Mae about my BAH HAHBAH days, gorging on chowdahs and lobstahs till I turned green! Happy to welcome another New Englander here! And another Leslie Sansone fan!

BARBIE, thanks for mentioning the Omron pedometer, as I've been using mine only for the aerobic step function. STarting tomorrow, I clip it on all day, everyday!

ELLI, thanx for the recipe...and I will look you up on your website, even though I "liked"you on FB!!!

MARIE: Such talent...and always the kindest words!

Didn't take the time to Notebook my reply, which is why I lost the other one, but my mind is blanking out, so Phoebe, Judy, Sandy , Maddie, and EVERYBODY,, HI and I'll try to get back! By the way, did I meet Leigh???

Hello everyone!!

Just back from Sunny Cancun, the weather was Fantastic, only one day with rain, my partner and her husband both had a cold and
Mike and I both ended up catching the cold, Mike is much better but I have a terrible cough:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:
The time went so quickly, we took walks everyday for over an hour on the beach, beautiful view, it is so hard to believe we were so cold and miserable in the morning and like a miracle a few hours later in Paradise. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Everyone was very
friendly and always ready to pleasure you, something was missing this morning, where is my Bahama Mama and egg omellete,
you can sure get so spoiled so quickly.:blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

Hope everyone is doing well, I will try to read all the post since I left, just wanted to let you know that I am back, and ready to be part again of this great family.

Have fun and a great evening.

Christchurch has just had another devastating earthquake....lots of damage - so sad....we live in the North Island and didn't feel it but we had a large one about 3 years ago and some of the buildings have still not been repaired...this is like a war zone. Hope everyone keeps safe.

PS Welcome home Gigi.

:flowerforyou: Judy, I just saw the news about the earthquake in Christchurch and wondered where you lived in relation to it.....thanks for letting us know that you are far from the damage and that you are safe......I used to live in California where we had some scary earthquakes and my thoughts are with the people who have been affected.

Judy, ditto what Barbie said, so good of you to let us know that you are safe. I wonder why Haiti had such a huge tv following, and not much at all about NZ?? Does the world think you are self sufficient there?

Buzz, we are twins, I just know it!! I forget Everything, at least twice a day. I looked for an ink pen for two days in the truck, gave up, got another one, and today I found it ..in my purse. Duh!

Marie, did Jerry have to go to the doctor today? I wasnt sure if it was today, or later. See what I mean? So forgetful!

Sandy, I went by the vets office today, and I saw Daisy!! Except that this Daisy wasn't as well groomed as yours..Actually, I don't know if it was a Daisy or a Dagwood, the 'owner' was talking on a cell phone, so I didn't interrupt. Anyway, I immediately thought of you and yours.
Welcome home Gigi, so glad you had fun, too bad you left the fun back there and brought home the cold!! Hope you take care of that cough..I hate to get a cough, I'd rather sneeze than cough. I want an omelette too! Oh well, breakfast for dinner would be good if I hadn't already had dinner.
Hi Maddie, thanks for peeping in!
You are right Leigh, it is hard at first when there is a crowd of people posting, to get to know everyone, don't worry, we are all in and out anyway. Do your 'Mutt and Jeff' dogs play well together? I used to have a tiny terrier, his best friend was an Irish Setter, they had a ball together. We are so spoiled in the south, with our mild winters.. we grumble about getting out in the 50 degree weather to walk, etc., and you are up there braving a lot more and worse temps, just to walk your dogs!!
Elli, we both go to the chiro as maintenance. Most of the time, I am glad when I go. I believe my back would give me fits if I didn't/ We have grown so fond of our chiro and his family, we feel like he is part of our family. It's great to see how fast his kids are growing up.
Time to call it a night. It is much warmer tonight, but it wont stop me from bundling myself under the covers. Home is such a great place to be!! take care and be safe, we leave in the morning.

hi everyone

JUDY - i was at friends house babysitting their girls and heard about Christchurch - thought about you. I'm glad you're all right - hope you don't have friends/family who are affected by the earthquake. My prayers are with all the people who are. Natural disasters are just the worst. On a happy note - your garden sounds AMAZING. Must have pictures please!

Leigh - when we had horses and other livestock i always felt like i was getting exercise - the hauling of feed bags, and bales of hay, fixing fences, moving animals from one pen to others, getting up in the middle of the night to check on ewes..........it's definitely NOT a sedentary lifestyle! I don't think it's on your profile and if you said i don't remember - where do you live?

hi BUZZ - thanks for checking out our website - the more people who know about it the better i guess!

Welcome home GIGI - glad you had such a blast! Must have been awesome to be WARM!!!!!!!!!

Phoebe - if you have a good chiro they're worth their weight in gold! Where are you headed for tomorrow?

I tried the deep chocolate vitalicious muffin top today - omg - SO good! and only 100 calories! I'm sold on these things.

I left work early today so i could go to the gym. good thing 'cause my friends fixed supper after i babysat - he does salmon in a Cabela's smoker - SOOOOOO good. And lo mein noodles. Luckily i got out of there before the lemon cheesecake bars were done and came home and had a cup of tea. WHEW!!!!!!!! disaster avoided!

It's a little scary to start adding in more calories.............

Have a good night everyone.

Yay Elli, 1 lb to go! We are going to Ontario CA goodnight all!

Judi, I echo what the others posters have said. We're glad you are safe and hope and pray for your country.

And, Sneakers, don't be too hard on our media. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck just before 1 p.m. Tuesday (7 p.m. Monday ET), and a 5.6-magnitude aftershock struck about 15 minutes later. The 10:00 news has not yet begun, and the quake struck AFTER our 5-6:30 news hours so I'm sure there will be significant coverage this evening. CNN is running video, as is MSNBC. The networks will too.

Hi to you all and a big welcome to the new folks. The Reno. Is moving along. I must remember to take some pictures. Neil had a rough day and sat on his pity pot most of the day refusing to eat. He finally got out of bed about 8 pm. He was trying to avoid the staff person that he doesn't like. This was my day to stay home. I, too, made chili for dinner. It was a nice treat.
We enjoyed my little niece's birthday party yesterday although it was very loud with lots of little cousins. I was weak and ate the pizza!!
I do promise to do some personals one day soon.

Elli -- I did want to comment on your business. It was very interesting. One oj
F my colleagues has a daughter who is profoundly hearing impaired and I will let her know to have a look.

Marie -- I hope things are going well. Always in my thoughts.

Welcome back Gigi.

Sorry for the errors. I am on the iPad and don't know an easy or fast way to correct them.

Take care and keep smiling. Think of you all often. Gayla

Well, lots of fatalaties.....65 so far but will be a lot more ....all the normal programmes have been stopped for this since 1pm ....Christchurch is a city of about 600,000 and NZ only has a population of 4 millions so almost everyone has got family or friends down there...this was classed as an aftershock after the 7.1 in September but has done a lot more damage...beautiful old buildings just flattened....the cathedral which was historic..anyway, dont' know much more....will learn a lot more tomorrow and I fear it will not be good...;life can change in a instant....it certainly puts things into perspective.

Judy, I turned on the news this morning to see if Colonel Gadaffi had finally done a runner from Libya only to be horrified at the pictures coming out of Christchurch and, like everyone else here, thought of you. What a tragedy. The buildings will be reconstructed but you can never replace loved ones. Our media in Britain is giving it huge coverage of course and I was so impressed with the way your Prime Minister spoke, full of emotion but staying strong. That's like a breath of fresh air after coping with British politicians over the years! I'll check our lunchtime news and say a little prayer for everyone but so pleased to know you are safe.
