WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2016

Well today I spent my 3rd night in the recliner, because I'm more upright and not coughing. Feeling a lot better. Have told my husband that we need to go out to dinner. All three of us haven't gone out for dinner in like forever, so bout' time its due. Also I haven't been out of this apartment in ages it seems. Getting cabin fever!

To the new gal that said this was a closed group, she never introduced herself, or anything. I have a "new member" feature built in to my computer, and it didn't go off. She said none of the key words like, "Hi I am New, may I join this little group, or how do I join". My computer picks up on those. With all the bells and whistles too!

Feeling better feels good. Took a long shower with my new Dove Shampoo and conditioner, Dove bodywash because I want to look like those Dove ladies on the commercial. I even dried my hair with a curling iron blow dryer thingy. I don't do that too often. I am such a simpleton. The thought of putting on make-up makes me nervous, (even though I did put on some powder and eye stuff for DATE NIGHT in THAT dress). I just feel claustrophobic with stuff on my face, silly huh.

Well my husband said our neighbors were at it at 10 pm, 11 pm, 2:20 am, and 7 am. Personally I will take their barking dog over sex any night. Glad I was in the living room! There are times during the day when WE are loud, and afterwards I slam the closet doors loud and everything. Payback. Even though ours is more diplomatic because its during the day, not disturbing peoples sleep. *sigh* Being apartment dwellers have their drawbacks. If I felt comfortable I would approach one of them, but my intuitions tell me they are not approachable. Clear signals with frowning and everything. Granted, I turned them in for their barking dog, but what they don't know is that we were given a choice to have them fined or just a warning. The fine was $300 or something, so I told them to just warn them. And yes the dog still barks when they leave it home every day. The manager said it was a service dog. Who keeps their service dog home alone all day? Granted I don't know the whole story I am just guessing.

Thanks for all your support, and well wishes. You ladies are the bee's knees, the cat's meow, the tick to my tock, my true North. Love you all. (((((group hugs)))))))

Not quite sure how all this works but...I'm NEW! Does that work set off the bells and whistles?

I'm 50+. I currently have a goal of losing 52lbs. One pound for each week this year. So far I'm up to 6lbs. I have a Valentine's challenge currently going under groups. Need a few more peeps in it. I'm very motivating to others but need motivation as well.

Just call me southernsass

PIP WATCH THIS!!!!! I thought it was soooo cool!!!!

I've seen that
Pretty cool

My birthday is on February 28th, so I am always having people ask if it is on Leap Year Day. No, that is the 29th of February. To tell if it is a leap year or not, divide the year by 4. If it divides evenly, then it is a leap year. Or you can just divide the last two digits. 16 divided by 4 equals 4 with no remainder. Leap year.

Aw Grits what a blasted headache that was!!! One thing husband does is make a cop of the transaction we have done on the computer. You know when you have finished filling your virtual "cart" then completed the card info and gotten a confirmation number. We print that ending part. Sounds like that site hand you bouncing all over the place!
Becca

Yeah, Becca .... they did bounce me around a lot; and, because of that - they lost the sale! Still have to go though the process of disputing the claim on the charge they generated at the normal price. I did not know there was a 3rd party involved. IF I had it might not have occurred. Never go to a site that is suppose to do something for you especially if they don't explain why the 3rd party is involved. Read the 'fine line' is what I would suggest. One of the necklaces appeared to have gone through correctly; don't know why the 3 others did not. But, what I can say is 'if it did go through' they are going to have to 'eat it' (bite it actually) because when they ask about it I'm going to say, 'what necklace'? But, I doubt it ever went anywhere.

Hi Southern Sass
Welcome. I also hail from the south (Baton Rouge La) but I now live in So. CAL.
I've been in the group for about a week. Once I found this threat, I decided to just follow it-as I was getting really lost out there with all the different groups, message boards, threads, etc.
The info about checking in on the last day of the month was new to me (and confusing) but I will have to read it more carefully. Glad it came up!
Feel free to add me as a friend if you are interested.

Thanks

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

Good Evening Ladies,

Pip, sending best wishes for a speedy recovery to Bullwinkle. I couldn’t look at that wound for long but glad you are taking care of her.

Janetr, I know my little bit of activity isn’t much compared to most of you but at least it’s a start, since I just totally quit exercising.

Heather, we have a huge lottery drawing in the US tonight. It is over 800 Million. It’s the largest in US History. I sure wouldn’t mind winning a bunch of money and would gladly share it around. 

Carol NC, ya got me laffin’ at you wanting to stick your tongue out at the person that took your bp. ROFL I do think you need some privacy so hope things work out about DS. Good that he got in school!!!

Gloria, so happy you found a place and that it is being updated. Congrats and good luck with the move.

Tracie, sometimes when we get behind we just have to skip some pages and start from there. It can get a bit daunting at times but we are here for support, not to cause grief.

Penny, I must be related to the European chickens because my breasts are “er-hum” less well endowed. LOL That was too funny! Cool fire.

Sylvia, I hope the table works out for you. If you get it will you sell yours?

Pip, I hope you can sell the car quickly. Have you committed to the newer one?

IrishTerri, good to see you. You have been missed.

Sharon, I do my exercising at home. I have some light weights, a resistance band, a cardio-glider (cross fit) and just got a Wii and Wii Fit for some different exercises. For months I was doing great and then got off schedule one week and it went downhill from there. I’m just starting back slowly trying to build up my exercising. Good luck to you.

Michele NC, I’m glad the cake turned out. See, you should have done it your way the first time. Lol

Southernsass, I’m sure I welcomed you the first time you came in (without bells or whistles. LOL) but I will say it again. Welcome. We are always happy to have newbies. Congrats on the 6 lb loss. I’ve lost 60 so far but it’s been a good while since I lost 6 and would love to do that again. Come often for great support.

Barbie, glad you made it through your long meeting day and didn’t have to eat their food.

to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

I’m having a terrible time with MFP tonight. I hope I can get this posted. I haven’t been able to finish my food diary for the day as it keeps freezing up. It might have to wait till in the morning. I got a lot done in my office today. I think I have filed everything that needed it and purged a bunch of files. Someone talked about keeping tax returns, which I do as well, but I had insurance policies from a number of years back. I actually got rid of many past years and just kept the current ones so that made some room in the file drawers.

I hope all of you have a healthy and happy day.

Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
