WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2016

Penny- Ah yes, it's buttermilk.

you know you are living your life too much in your bike gear or workout gear when there is a day, you are going to be driving your car to the gym and what you had packed when you get out of the shower is a sports bra instead of a regular bra and the usual workout t-shirt, instead of a different top. :0/

What? You mean there are other clothes than workout clothes?

Happy Friday ladies. I am working 6-5:30 today and then off tomorrow as DGD has her first dance competion. I went and had my mammogram done yesterday and was only home a short time with the doctor's office called and said they found something on the left side. So I go back Monday at 1:40 for more test and possible biopsy. Trying real hard not to freak out, but admit I am scared. So of course I want to eat. So far so good. My friend that went home from the nursing home is not doing well. I was afraid it was too soon. I was over to visit yesterday and bought her laundry home and got it done and will take it over after work and take her to Wal-Mart to get what she needs. Keeping busy is the answer.

My DGS who is 6 had his hip surgery yesterday. When I talked to DS last evening they were having some problems with pain control. This morning he called and I got to talk to Michael. He is a happy boy most the time and this morning he sounded so sad. He will be in the hospital 3-4 days and will have the cast on 6-8 weeks. So he can not move much as it is a striker cast with the bar between his legs to keep the hips in line.

We did go see the movie "Mircles from Heaven" and it is a very good movie. I don't think by the end there was a dry eye in the house.

Meg--glad you are feeling better. I know I have 3 heraided disks in my back and the chiropractor keeps me going. I visit once a month and no problems. I refused back surgery and decided to try the chirpractor and so happy I did.
Joyce--sending prayers and hugs. Know this can not be easy on either one of you.

Heather--Love the pictures of the DGC holding the new baby. They all look so happy. Thanks for sharing. Congrates on the baby's name. I have two DGD with my middle name. Love the outfit for tea, those only kids can be so funny.

Marcelyn--Sounds like you are making great memories with those DGC. How scary, so glad no one was hurt. I know one time I had just picked up my DGD from school and a guy ran the red light and got me. There were lots of witness and his insurance paid well. It happened with DGD was in kindergarden so 2 years ago. a couple months ago they had to write a story about their most horrible day. She wrote about the car hitting us. I thought is was interesting as she never talks about it. Love the pictures of the grandbabies.

Janetr--Hugs!!

Sylvia--Sending hugs and prayers for all of you.

Well ladies thanks for all you do, remember we are not alone and together we can do anything.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

Marcelyn ~ Great pic of the grands!

Vicki ~ Prayer said that your visit on Monday has good news (not bad).

Lenora ~ Our families seem to have been having children at the same time. My older brother is the age of your older sis, I'm the age of your middle sis, and, you are only a couple of years younger (the age of my cousin Janet I think).

talked to Kirby to ask what distance he may want to do or think he will be able to do for the upcoming MS bike ride... says he thinks he will be able to ride the 60 mile ride.... I hope so, we will see how he progresses by then..

Monday I take him to the hospital at VM in Seattle for his procedure to get his shoulder fixed/worked on. cross your fingers!

Dr. Katiebug glad to hear you are feeling better.

Penny love the milk carton.

Cheri great quote!

When you arise Have a Blessed Day

Hi, sorry I haven't been keeping up. I've been doing research on knee replacement surgery. I'm getting really nervous about my upcoming appointment with my orthopedist on Monday. I've been on crutches for 8 months and I have to try to talk him into doing surgery on me. He had me down for surgery and then changed his mind and decided in his almighty wisdom to go with steroid injections first. Injections never work on me. I have a long history with failed steroid injections. But he's been out of the country, must be nice, and won't be back until my appointment on Monday. I so want to walk again. If he gives me the injection, I won't be a surgical candidate for another three months and I will have missed another summer.

Did 50 minutes of Kathy Smith step DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Micah Hudson fit DVD

Sylvia - oh dear, what a horrible situation with your son's wife. How wonderful of you to get those kids out of there

pip - I had heard that you shouldn't clasp your hands. Ever since then I have been keeping my hands flat on my mat under my shoulders

CJ - I'm so sorry you were in such pain. Let's hope it's not RA

Went to Target to get cat litter. If I spend $40 or more, I get $10 off. Plus, I had $1.50 coupons for each of the 4 cat litters. Then went to WalMart. Didn't realize that I needed ground beef so we'll probably have to go to Food Lion. Normally, I'd go to WalMart, but I know how much Vince hates to go food shopping and FL is closer to our house, so I'll spend a little more and go there. Hey, if they have the Snickers, I can get those for the soup kitchen. Update: We did go, but again they didn't have the Snickers

I'm falling into an old bad habit of having junk in order to get my calories for the day up. Gotta break this.

Big welcome to everyone new! Put your feet up and sit a spell

When it comes to tattoos, I'm a wimp. When I turned 40 I got a second piercing in my ear. I thought that was so cool. Now I regret it.

Beth - LOL about proof of God

marcelyn - glad your daughter is ok after that accident

pip - at least you remembered a bra. There have been times when I've forgotten mine. I've also forgotten my underwear. Good luck to Kirby, we'll all be rooting for him

yamabachi - you can do this!! Great goals

Vicki - good luck. I know how scary it can be when you have to return. BTDT. But most times it turns out that they're being overly-cautious

linnell - let's hope you can convince your doc to do the surgery. Can't you just refuse the injection, what would he do then?

Silverstar: Regarding exercise, I've found some things I really like to do. Horseback riding is the most fun, but Yoga tops the list for me. I has improved my strength and flexibility so much, and keeps me fit and flexible enough that I am able to enjoy horseback riding. I also like walking and riding my recumbent bike. The key to my success with exercise has been to find things I really enjoy and make time for a mix of them every week. I hope you'll find things that you enjoy, too. :flowerforyou:

Pip: I love wind if I'm sailing, especially if it is sending me the direction I want to go. I hate wind while bike riding other than the wind I create with my own forward movement and a nice breeze on a warm day. With your intensity and speed on a bike, wind could be really nasty. :grumble: I'll be sending good thoughts for Kirby's shoulder.

Marcelynh: You are blessed with beautiful grandchildren.

Becca: Your nurse obviously had it in for nipple piercings. In her world, it sounds like people aren't allowed to get sympathy for things we've done that have unanticipated discomfort. On the other hand, she could have smirked while saying, "Poor baby, there there," in a sarcastic tone, which would have been even worse... :ohwell:

linnellal: Is your doctor being mean, or has he given good reasons for his decision to try injections? Listening needs to go both ways.. :flowerforyou:

Michele: It sounds like we are in a somewhat similar situation this evening. I'm eating more junk than I should to get calories up some of the time, too. It is nearly six pm right now and dinner will be delayed an hour and a half or more. I need to make some better quality snack choices while I wait. I decided on a protein bar. I hope it does the job. :flowerforyou:



Two different couples, who are our most irritating neighbors, are moving away in the coming weeks. I hope the people moving in are easier to get along with. This brings the turnover to three homes within a few months. There has been no turnover here at all for several years. I hope the new people are fun and easy to get along with. Among the departing residents are good friends, and a pair of frenemies. One of the frenemies thinks it is funny to put garter snakes in my lawn because she knows they startle me & that I dislike it. I won't miss that a bit. The neighbor who uses his leaf blower to dry his car after washing it, and also blows dust off of his deck onto his neighbor's deck will also be moving. His neighbor will probably dance a jig to celebrate. I'm looking forward to the irritation going away & I hope the new people are nice.

Kristan- Yea! A work out buddy! Starts on April first (no foolin')!

Becca and Kristan- There was a point in time when I wanted my nose pierced, but that passed. The nipples and the labia are something that I would never pierce. I can only imagine the pain if something catches...

The challenge will be fun with a buddy! As to the nipples and labia piercing, nonononononononono! my belly button hurt bad enough!
