Anne, what a shame about tomatoes and arthritis
Buzz, the photos came from my friend's phone...she was a darling to send them to me, but too bad they were hard to see. 0 -
Patsy such a relief. gosh we can all breath now. By the way Patsy I used a brown paper lunch bags to pop my popcorn no oil/ Works out great I use 1/4 c popcorn fold the bag over and microwave for about 3 minutes. Maybe more maybe less And sprinkle with sea salt and garlic The easiest way I have tried.
I watch the Dallas Cowboys pregame last night and they lost.
Barbie I think you can turn the pictures around don't know how but I seen it done. I think Judy Watson turn one of mine around for me one time for me.

All best. And some more hugs.

It was a crazy busy day. A while back we bought a lot of furniture and appliances from a couple from Scotland that were moving and had to sell everything. Today was the day they wanted us to pick it up. so my husband, son and brother in law went to collect the things, appliances like refrigerator, stove, washing machine, vacuum, and a complete bedroom set with wardrobe and the whole 9 yards. they lived on the 5th floor of an apartment building with a small stair case, well all was going well until the door man decided that it was not good on the elevator to haul all the stuff so he shut it off! so we had to carry the stuff down 5 flights of stairs and then walk up again for the next load!!! We worked from 10:00 to 2:00 getting it all disassembled and loaded into a big truck to move to our new house, that is not finished yet. Good workout for the day but tiring for sure!!. Came home and prepared some lunch/dinner and then did my tutoring of a new student that started yesterday. Right now it's 10:30 and this gal is heading to bed.
Patsy, so happy that you heard from your son.
Good night all, Have a super day. Phyllis0 -
Happy Monday!! My first day back with Robby was great, he is such a good boy and much easier to watch now that he is walking and can entertain himself. Yes Marie he is still taking a morning nap which today was from about 8:45 to 10:30 and went down easy. We went for a walk and stopped at the park but he wasn't ready for his afternoon nap and gave me a little trouble. I think I put him down to early at 2:30 so he didn't go to sleep until 3:30. It will take me a few days to get into a routine but other than that it was a fun day. He is eating table food now and drinking whole milk so even meals are easier now. No more bottle or pacifier, they do things so much younger than we used to do. I did not nap so I am very tired from getting up so early but my son is off tomorrow so I will not have Robby tomorrow.
Phyllis, my goodness that sounds like a lot of work without an elevator, you were right in going to bed.
Lin and Jackie, so sorry you don't have internet but know that we will be thinking and praying for you tomorrow Jackie.
Patsy, I like Marie's idea also about popcorn, but right now I bought the 100 calories individual packs.
Anne, I am not a big tomato person so maybe that is why I don't know the difference if they affect me or not.
Barbie, I am going to re post your pictures and hopefully they will be upright.
It is almost dinner time and I have some computer things to catch up.

Marie - that is how I do my popcorn too. I add a bit of butter flavoured olive oil and salt to the bag and pop it like that. And yes I am getting rested up but still stressed by everything happening to my sister. Wish she lived closer so I knew what was up. She is the worst at answering phone calls. GRRR. LOL
Sandy - babysitting Robbie sounds fun but exhausting to me. Good for you.
Phyllis - OMG what a lot of hard work without an elevator. Glad it's over.
Lin and Jackie - I hate internet woes. Isn't it funny how we are so used to it now and desperately miss it when we can't access it.
Barbie - love the pictures.
Nice day today went for a walk, have supper on in the crockpot. Tomorrow we are heading to the mountains for a drive. Should be fun. At least with out having to worry about being always accessible by phone for my Mom, we can now go for drives into Kananaskis Country west of Calgary. It is so beautiful. Smoky here now due to forest fires in BC and Washington tho.
Have a great night

Busy day and back to work tomorrow. Thinking of you Jackie.
Jeri, my aunt pulls that on me, not answering. I don't leave voicemail anymore. She calls back when she wants.
I returned the Jawbone brand tracker. I enjoyed it when it worked. It kept dropping the connection. Stick with my fitbit flex and pedometer for now.
Buzz, no I really don't see big changes, some years dry, some wet. I remember 120 in Phoenix, but not recently.
Bye for now
Phoebe0 -
Hurrah, PATSY! Especially after those 2 young fellows disappeared off our coast a few weeks ago, I was worried about your DS, so it's a huge relief!
LIN, somehow I move the iPad pictures (usually sideways or upside down) to my Photo Gallery where I can edit them and turn them with those funny arrows that go right or left in a circle.
ANNE, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and all "nightshades" vegetables were on a no-no list for arthritis for many years, but because I love them, and we grew them so they tasted real, I continued to eat them and my arthritis is not good! I forget what the rest of the nightshades are, but you might Google them!
We saw a wonderful documentary this evening after drummers and dancers from Kenya and Tanzania performed. I have only been to Morocco and knew little about the Masai , Zulus, and other tribal groups still living much as their ancestors did centuries past. A gentle people who produce beautiful handmade crafts without much modern help , no electricity, plumbing, or even furniture in the huts the women build to raise their children. Talk about living the simple life. Fascinating to learn about different cultures.
JACKIE, we're all there with you, dear friend! Please let us know ASAP!!!

I've just had rather a disturbing thing happen. I posted a comment on my home page and instead of the comment, it showed instead emails I have received and sent and nothing to do with MFP. The main culprit was a very long email I had received from the UK featuring photos and it was the sort of thing you could forward to other people. SANDY, could that be the cause? There was also something else that had nothing to do with me with the sort of appalling language I would never use in real life! Really shocking! Anyway, it's made me very nervous about posting, friends! ANNE.0
-
SANDY, I eliminated everything in my outside email (not MFP stuff) and that seems to have solved the problem. I couldn't keep up eliminating all the stuff (which I had never written) on the comment box until I deleted everything on the email site. Quite eye opening; some of it. Anne.0

SANDY, I use an iPad only. I believe I have an anti virus. Unfortunately, Mike, my expert is in Rome.0

Think I've managed it. I had 2 email addresses, have eliminated the one I suspect is the culprit and rarely use. Anne.0

The magic jack and the vonage plan that I had to use to call my mom has been banned by Egyptian Government. so I can't call my mom on them any more. BUMMER. I hooked up to Skype and have a plan now but I can only call her. she can't call me. But it is better than nothing.
It's been a less stressful day for sure. Started with a 30 minute swim at the pool doing mainly back stroke this morning. That put me in a good mood.
Phyllis0 -
my dear friend Jackie Thinking of you
Marie0 -
Thinking of you, Jackie. Hope you won't be too sore.
Sorry for those of you with internet problems.
Such a PERFECT day, and we have to work. The sky is that deep blue, no clouds, only mid 80's. Honey and I had our walk this morning. I just remembered a phone call I must make. Take care
Phoebe0 -
Hello Sneakers,
I read most of the posts there were 55 to catch up on. So many things happening, ANNE- glad your roof is on and hope those
little varmits stay away. SANDY- Back to baby sitting but seems easier on you this time. I will post some pictures of Isaac.
BUZZ- how is Mike doing? It must be hard everyday to watch him. At least you can both get out to theatre once in awhile
to take your mind off things. JACKIE- Good luck on the surgery and speedy recovery we are thinking of you. JERI- I hope
you can get some rest and relaxation and thanks for sending me Candy Crush lives after all you are doing right now with
your sister. My thoughts are with you and your family. PHOEBE- I am happy you had a good time at the reunion and
that's alot of peaches to freeze but they are so good! PHYLLIS- So happy to hear from you and your granddaughters are
just adorable. I hope you can continue communication with your mom without interruption. LIN - Your daily intake of veges
is remarkable. You are one healthy chick! BARBIE - You look fabulous, all that walking and dancing is evident in your
picture. PATSY-Thank heavens that you heard from your son. I would be worried sick. Glad all is well. MARIE - Are the
temps in Texas getting better for you and Jerry? I see you are making some delicious food lately.
We are back from a week at the cottage and had a good time. Now back to eating normal and continuing exercise.
I have been so busy catching up today.
Here are some pictures to look at.

Shirley, Issac is a big boy, maybe bigger than Robby. How old is he and what does he weigh and how long. Robby is 1 year old, about 29 pounds and 33 inches tall. That was at the last doctors appointment in the beginning of the month. Love the pictures, he is just one handsome little man.0
-
Internet is jumpy today. I'll just pop in to say hello! All is well here. Issac is just plain adorable in his batman outfit.
Jackie you know we are standing on our ear and holding our breath...tell us that you came through this with flying colors and feeling perky! You are in everyone's thoughts and prayers. I feel strongly that you are going to be fine!
Lin I must say, looking at your delicious meals, you are eating wonderfully well. I am trying to do a bit of this kind of food choices with my confirmed meat eater. Not easy! John will go for a veggie day once or twice a week.
Marie, Anne, Jeri, Sandy, Shirley, Buzz, Phoebe, Phyllis and absent Bob, Barbie! This is fun! I get pictures in my head when I say your names. My memory needs jogging....who have I left out? Love you all, my friends!
Patsy0 -
Sandy - Isaac is 4 1/2 months old and weighs close to 18 pounds. He is a big boy!
Kathy just started him on cereal and she is still breast feeding.

Hello friends, have been getting along with just my phone for most of the day but going to try to get something posted now. Seems the Internet outages are coming more frequently and sometimes I’m only connected a few minutes. Nope, not going to get angry.
I got my big shopping trip to Walmart out of the way this morning. Dragging in the 40-lb. bags of softener salt is always a real chore for me since I have to take them down to the basement. BUT when I put them in the car there was some leaking so I had to hunt for some duct tape and tape the packages before carrying them in. I’m glad I don’t do this often! I'm stocked up now.
Did some laundry and cleaned out my magazine rack and started looking at moving things in anticipation of (hopefully) having my old sofa removed by Salvation Army on Friday. My house is not too big and lots of things need to be moved in order for the sofa to go through doorways, around corners and out the front door. There are no other exits large enough. Then I went outside and pulled weeds around the foundation and the old flower stems from the daylilies. It was definitely nice out there today.
Cooked roasted veggies for lunch and had a large large vegetable salad for supper. Also had fruit that was just wonderful today including a peach that I think Trader Joe’s said was from Colorado. I cooked a couple more packages of veggies so I’m set for tomorrow.
Anne, what a frightening thing for you today. I got one of the notifications by email that you were talking about and it was quite strange and I knew you wouldn’t ever have posted that. So I hit DELETE!!
Sandy, glad all is going well with Robby. I hope you don’t hurt yourself with all the lifting. He’s going to be a tall guy!
Shirley, loved the pictures you posted and I wondered if Isaac is now outgrowing Robby? Is the cabin closed down for the year now?
Phyllis, I am so sorry to hear your government has banned Magic Jack and Vonage. I have Magic Jack plus and it would work just fine IF my Internet service worked! I’m glad you’ve found a bit of an alternative even if it is less than perfect.
Phoebe, good to see you---are you doing local hauls this week? I did want to mention that the vinegars I use are nothing like what I was familiar with from years ago. I use specialty vinegars and the acid levels are different and the flavors are wonderful. The Cuisine Perel fruit vinegars are good. I particularly like the Wild Blueberry vinegar but also purchase the Red Raspberry. I get other vinegars from Napa Valley that are good and I shop at several other places as well. I keep the Internet busy (when I have service)!
Jeri, you mentioned you were going for a drive. Does that mean a few days away? Or was it just a day trip. I hope somehow you are recharging your batteries.
Marie, I think I read that you were going to cook Miracle Noodles. I did my time with those things and I didn’t eat very many of them and I was ALL DONE! My tip to you if you haven’t cooked them yet is to rinse, rinse, rinse those noodles in running cold water and drain well. Then I put them in a skillet on low to *dry* them up which also heated them. Then I added sauce. If you don’t get them nice and dry they dilute your sauce just like any not-well-drained pasta. I know you didn’t ask but you know me, can’t shut me up. Any more kitty pictures?
Patsy, really, your DH wouldn’t tolerate a big increase in vegetables? Sorry, they are pretty darn good!! It sounds as if he’s a bit difficult in his foods preferences. But then I am as well!
Buzz, hello my friend. I think about you every day and wonder how DH’s care is going and pray you aren’t working yourself to a frazzle.
Barbie, HELLO! Give your doggies a hug from me.
Hugs to everyone. Time to try to post.

hugs back atcha!
Got up at 6 AM in order to be ready for the crew replacing our kitchen flooring which was damaged when our refrigerator was replaced some time ago. showered and finishing breakfast before 8, and sat back to await the workmen. And waited...and waited...and they never showed until 2:15 PM while I was attending our Caregivers' Meeting! They said they'd be here until about 8 PM; we called maintenance, the big honcho arrived and said no! We must reschedule,...I was fit to be tied, but since we had a special Passport dinner at 5:30, I agreed and they'll be back Tuesday morning at 9 AM Our refrigerator was put in over a year ago!
Anyway, absolutely exhausted, so wondered if anyone heard from our JACKIE??? ...and I'm off to bed. Buzz 0 -
Phyllis, you could also use google+ for your video calls and google chat just to talk. I use Google +with my kids every Sunday and Google chat to talk to my daughter during the week.0
