WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2016

Heather: Thanks for the idea of going into another part of the house to practice Spanish aloud. That is exactly what I plan to do next because DH is upstairs napping & I know I won't bother him. :flowerforyou:

Heather, that was me recommending Trollhunter. Fair warning that it is not everyone's cup of tea but it will be good for Norwegian culture. There was a really fascinating book I read about the Nordic countries with their similarities and differences--I will try to track down the title.
Michele, so glad you had backup on the Skype! It is a slow process but now that Bryan seems commited to it you might have a shot at a breakthrough.
Mia, sorry about the class scheduling problem--I notice that at the local Y too. Not enough variety in the evenings and weekends.
Sylvia, you are truly an inspiration!
Well I seem to be eating more lately but also exercising more. Still too nervous to get on the scale...
Betty

Katla - ouch!

Janetr & Lillian - hahahahahahaha re: the mustache and reprieve for the end of the world!

Lenora - so proud of you for continuing and succeeding on your journey even while struggling with difficulties where others may have thrown in the towel!

Miriam so glad to see you back - prayers for both mental and physical healing.

Welcome back to those who have been missing and to all the Newbies. It's always great to see old and new faces!

To those of you lucky enough to travel - as Gene Autry used to sing "Happy trails to you - until we meet again!"

After all that diahhrea yesterday I was pretty wiped out so instead of the Jari Love DVD I did a Tony Little express DVD which is only 1/2 hr. I did have to stop halfway thru and go to the bathroom. the plan for tomorrow is to do a Kathe Friedrich to the Max DVD

Heather - I never thought of Google Translate! So sorry about your tooth

Terri in Milwaukee - my stomach feels much better, thanks. Vince said that his stomach is a bit upset today. Personally, I think he's a bit of a worrywort. The only thing was that I was REAL tired.

Welcome everyone new

Carol - I haven't had a seizure in YEARS. It's been well controlled with medication. Maybe my body is changing and over tthe years I've built up a tolerance. Vince wants to put off the FL trip until tomorrow

DJ - for diahrrhea don't they recommend the BRATTY diet -- bananas, rice, applesauce, tea, toast and yogurt?

Kim - I agree, I'm thinking the reason Bryan didn't want Vince there was because he knew that he could bamboozle me but not Vince so much. Vince is a lot like Bryan (or like Bryan was) very logical. Was I ever go glad to have Vince there! I just said that I thought it only fair that the therapist meet BOTH Bryan's parents, not just me. Also, there were somethings that I really don't know about videoconferencing, Vince did it all the time at work. Vince did mention the fact of "how can we move on, the past is the past" but there's still a part of me that wants the therapist to know that the things Bryan wrote in that letter were really convoluted.

Vicki - so glad you decided to post and not lurk. Boy, you sure have had a lot on your plate! Vent all you need

Lenora - Bryan lives on the Island of Reunion. Don't worry if you've never heard of it, I hadn't until he went there. It's in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar. It's a province of France (like Puerto Rico is to us) so that's why everything was in French. Yes, this no driving is a PITA, but I now that it's something that needs to be done. We need to know that the Lamictal works. Can't wait for Aug 2 to get here! With Vince putting back going to FL another day, it sort-of makes it difficult for me. I need to have something for dinner, and clothes!

Becca - you have such a wonderful friend! I thought WW dues were more than $3/month.

Betty - Takk! I've just bought it on Kindle. :flowerforyou:

We've been watching a series on rail travel in the US. The presenter has an old Appleton guide and started off in NY, ending at Niagra Falls. He's been through Buffalo and Washington DC and is currently in Mount Vernon. All very fascinating. It's every night at 6.30.

I've also been watching loads of programmes on China, both historical and modern. I know a great deal more than I did. :bigsmile: I'm wondering if I can drag DH out there. :ohwell: The way this usually works is that I mention it casually and plant a tiny seed then gradually let him get his head around the idea. It takes him a while, but he often manages to wrap his head around it. But just adding it to my bucket list for now.

Scored a victory today. The cover I bought for my new tablet in October has chipped at the bottom edge and wasn't holding the tablet. I went back on Amazon and found the order and complained by email and sent a photo. They have just replied that they are sending me a new one! Result! It wasn't expensive, but it was the principle.

Not sleeping. Over excited about the kids coming. Will do some calming focus exercises.
