WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2016

morning peeps -

pit bulls are the bomb! when I used to have rocky and we would go visit patients in rehab or do a "tutor w/tails" stint at the library, one of the dogs was a mastiff, another was a pit. I was glad they were part of the group to show adults and kids, it's not the dog, it's the owner. they were sweet kids.

exermom - auto correct put your name to extinction or something like that lololol!!! I was like what the fuuu ????!!!! anyway, I know the reason why I don't burn as much per mile, it just still sucks.

next distance will be 7 :0( compression sleeves, that's all I gotta say

sorry to hear about the dog falling from the building, that just kills me....

I muddled thru spin class, and it was a sub that has subbed b4, I won't be taking his class again. I will give everyone a try by taking a few of their classes. has nothing to do with them personally, more than half of it has to do with music and there is so much new music out there, I just can't HANG with 70's 60's stuff ALL THE TIME. the coasters, eric Clapton, supremes, smokey robinson, AHHHHHHHHHHHH IT WAS KILLING ME!!!!
ok, I'm done.

Good morning all! YAY!!!! 5 days tracking my food in a row!!!!!!!! Busy day today, but I'll check in and read your posts a little later. You all have a good day!

I've cropped this pic because there was a lot of DDIL still disrobed just after the birth. But here she is! At the moment I think she looks like her elder brother.
They hope to have a name by tonight.

Mary from Minnesota – Raisins are worse than grapes; because they can gobble so many and then they swell in their digestive system. Thankfully, neither of us like raisins. I do freeze seedless grapes for a low calorie snack. Just have to make sure I don’t drop any. Cracker is very quick; but, she will usually give whatever she puts in her mouth up quickly if we yell at her about it. She’s still a puppy and everything, like with human babies, goes directly in the mouth first thing.

KJL – I called mine ‘draping the slab’ … mainly because they were so heavy and came so close together. Would usually miss one day of school each time due to cramps that would bend me over. I had a real accident while on vacation … did not realize that I was standing in a pool of blood; when sister and BnL saw me he scooped me up in his arms and ran the 4 blocks back to the motel where we were staying. We had gone to boardwalk gaming/skating place while they (parents) cleaned up. That was the first time I ever got seen by a GYN – worst experience of my life! Mother did not prepare me, I don't think she thought he would do a pelvic on a 16-yr-old. He made me feel terrible and I was totally embarrassed by the things he had to say to me. My Mother cussed him out, big time, telling him that she was the only one that would lecture me on 'morals'. Steam was rolling out of her ears, and fire shooting out of her eyes. I’ve made sure to inform my DOGD what to expect when she goes for her first visit. Not to scare her; but, to prepare her. My GYN always does a rectal exam whenever he does a pelvic. UGH! Hate that!

There are so many kinds of dogs that fall within the category of ‘pit bulls’. Most have sweet faces; and if raised from the time they are puppies, generally not aggressive – but, people are still scared of them, for themselves and their pets. The ‘pit bull terrier’ that Target uses in its ads is what I consider a real pit bull and the shape of their heads are almost like a football – that kind would be the ones I would be terrified of. Pit bulls usually have a bark that can be scary. When I am around a strange dog; the first thing I notice is what his tail is doing – that usually shows his/her emotions quite well. Never turn around and run from a dog who is running at you; you’re better off standing still. I would not want a pit bull; but, the ones I have been around have all been friendly. They won’t put any pit bull that has been picked up from a ‘dog fighting ring’ up for adoption around here. I don’t know what they do with them because the 3 shelters within spitting distance from where I live are ‘no kill shelters’.

Working on a Harry Potter baby quilt for a geeky friend this morning, and sanding down furniture in the afternoon... then writer's group tonight (staying in town). Busy day ahead! Worked out this morning, but was co-opted into a friend's exercise class and didn't get near enough of a workout. She wants me to come again tomorrow, but if I do, I'll have to go first and work out and THEN work out with her class.

Later, my dears,

Heather. Congrats on the new grand baby. I marvel every time at the miracle of life and the beauty of it all.

Today begins my week of grandkids. Two today and tomorrow then six for a week. I'm beginning to panic! Lol

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

Good Morning Ladies,

Bibia, there will be days when we can’t do our normal exercise routine. And days where we just don’t. The great thing is that we can start again at any time. Just moving rather than sitting is always the best alternative when we can’t do our normal. Hang in there, you can do this.

Heather, good for you on being prepared for a late meal.

Chris, it was his loss for sure and who knows, maybe your gain? Just stay awesome!

Sue, I hope you are breathing easier every day. (((Hugs)))

Kay, congrats on the successful weekend. Keep up the great work.

CJ, I love your story about your dog sniffing the flowers.

Kimses, thinking of you today and hope all is going great!!!

Katla, I’m happy to see someone else on here that eats bacon once in a while. I freeze mine in 2 slice portions and probably have it almost once a month.

Joyce, my heart just goes out to Charlie and what he is going through. I just pray that he will see some improvement.

Gayle, sending prayers for your mom and you. ((((Hugs))))

Heather, what an exciting day for you. Do your know your new Granddaughter’s name? (later) Congrats!!! Looking forward to pics. (even later) Oh she is beautiful!! I hope her mom is doing well?

Allie, glad you are feeling a bit better and hope you are back to yourself soon.

KJ, you talked about power washing that can damage wood. It can also take the top layer right off of concrete if the setting is too strong.

Meg, please tell me that was a type and Benny doesn’t take 123 pills a week? It seems like that would be a full time job just to get them in him.

Lillian, sorry you are not feeling well. So does Canada not change their clocks? I think most Americans would like us to stay on DLS time.

Connie, welcome and wishing you a speedy recovery! This is a great place for support and information. You are one of the few people I’ve met that said they “love to exercise”, so this journey should be easier for you than some of us.

Carol,GA, I love dogs but don’t normally want one to lick me until I’m soaking wet. Lol I’ll bet they are great protectors.

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.

On the way home from the convention Saturday we stopped at a Tuesday Morning. I wasn’t looking for anything but ended up buying a new sun hat in red, a summer hand bag and two pair of ear rings. I felt a little guilty after spending a good bit of money at the convention, so I told DH that could be my Birthday gift. It’s in April and he never knows what to get me anyway. I weighed this morning and it wasn’t pretty. I’m back to exercising and will eat right as well as no drinking except for maybe St Patty’s day. Sending the best thoughts for all of you and your loved ones for success in whatever you do.
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,

Gayle in Minneapolis: Your mom is in my prayers, as are you. I hope they can solve the problem for her.

Heather: Congratulations on your new Granddaughter!!! I love the photo. Does she have curly hair? :flowerforyou:

KJLaMore: I told DH you were planning to cook your St. Patricks Day corned beef in Guinness. He was of the opinion we should drink the Guinness and cook our corned beef in water. :bigsmile:

Miriam: I'm glad your older sister brought you sentimental treasures that belonged to your mom. Judgmental people are often a trial for those around them. I suspect they're chronically unhappy and have a little sympathy for them. That sympathy doesn't extend to wanting to spend time together. :noway:

Pennyns: Welcome to a great group. :flowerforyou:


I have two packages to send to DGD for her birthday, one is from DS and DDIL. They left it pre-wrapped and stored with me since they were expecting a transfer and didn't know when or where they were going. I ordered my gifts from Amazon and had them wrapped and shipped directly, except for two Dr. Seuss books that I'll be sending along today. I'll take care of them after I get back from yoga.

Have a great day, everyone!

Congratulations Heather, she is a beauty. Will be anxious to see what all that hair is all about.

Some one asked about whether a colostomy would work with Charlie's ulcerative colitis. They have had to do that on some people. His colitis is in the entire colon so I imagine it would have to be an iliostomy, The stool with an iliostomy is just as loose as his diarrhea now. Now if if he could have a colostomy now it would be a near solid stool like what we have. He is now under the impression that his Xarelto, his blood thinner, is the cause of his diarrhea. He thinks bleeding lesions is the same as ulcerative lesions. And he doesn't like being told he is wrong. I know what bloody stool smells like, there is no other like it and he doesn't have it.

Beatrice is beautiful!

barbiecat- you'll never make everyone happy with music. but at least mix it up, geez, I was dying. no big, i'll just do my own thing if he teaches, no big.

Heather - Beatrice is gorgeous. They are such a blessing. It never ceases to amaze me. I was present at the birth of four of my six grandbabies. What a miracle. Congratulations to son and DDIL.

Back from mani/pedi, no more delaying. Off to do my weight resistance training. Beautiful day here, going to get to 83°.

No date tonight, he never called like he said he would to finalize plans. What is it about men in their 50's???!!!

They're men! :laugh:

I finally went out with a man who'd been asking me for a year; by our second date, he had designed our dream home in his head...we made plans for a few days later, but he never finalized. I still get texts from him; he still acts interested, but he hasn't asked me out again. Who knows?

Your dog is adorable BTW
