WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2016

Well I was out of town and haven't been here in a few days. Imagine my surprise when I opened up our post to see only 18 new posts. Then I realized that I was still looking at May. LOL Found June and now making my way through 385 posts. Only got through 2 pages though so I will read more tomorrow.

Had a business trip to Toronto this past week. Flights were delayed by several hours on the way out and I finally got to my hotel room at 2:30 am. Also delayed on the way home but only by an hour. While I was there I took an Uber for the first time. Also tried oysters for the first time. Business meetings went well so it was a successful trip despite all the flight delays.

Goal for June is to train for the 5K I have signed up to run on July 9th.

Janet - praying for your grandson. I know it must have been very emotional putting him on that bus. {{{hugs}}}

Joyce - hope Charlie continues to improve.

Becca - thinking about you and DH daily. You are so strong but still think you need some {{{hugs}}}

Welcome to everyone new.

You HAD to know something was off if there were only 18 new posts. I found the idea hilarious. I'm making it a habit to check in a couple of times a day if only to mark my place. The huge number of posts get overwhelming. I read but don't comment on them, just not possible. I can only imagine the post pain I'm going to have after a week of a no-internet vacation! I won't even try!

It did rain again today but we had about two hours of sunshine so a few of the grandkids went swimming with grandpa. I got in and bounced a baby but didn't put in any serious swimming time. And of course there was the water gun fight with the older ones..... always fun.

Tons to do this week before taking off for our trip.

Larisa, I'll take your word for it. I just use light weights. I'm a whimp

Hey, there's plenty of value in lifting lighter weights! Plus, you're not sitting on the couch.

Hi gals,

Miriam – so sad.

Janetr – great picture

Barbie – glad you had fun!

Annie – glad you are ok, how scary

Kim and Katla - thanks ladies for your kind words.

Janetr okc

You girls make me smile and laugh so!!!! That's why i love you so much. All the talk of playing in the water, swimming, bouncing babies; water fights, dogs jumping into water over and over again. I just love it.

Michelle came over today and completely did our yard. She was babysitting a BIG lab today so he and her other dogs came over while she mowed, trimmed and weeded. They are used to her mowing in her postage stamp size yard but they didn't mind at all with our larger yard. Willis is the one she is babysitting. He weighs over 100 lbs and is BIG. The poor guy, Michelle's big guy is a full blooded boxer, the sweetest thing. I guess Willis got tired of no female around so he is just humping the dickens out of Justice. Not going to get anything out of humping another male dog. Justice let him know he didn't like it. She has had a small lab mix/heinz 57 for about 12 years now and bless his heart, she has to pick him up to get him out of the car and put him on the ground. He has arthritis so bad. But she said as long as he is with his 'brothers' he is happy. He is just a lot slower. So she is content to have him on his arthritis medicine and let him have his fun while he can. Her other dog is another mix but looks like a wolf to me. She just shaved him and he looks so funny.

Well Charlie and I changed his bag for the first time. I hope I got the hole cut in the bag big enough. I would hate to have it to small and stool get on his skin. He is going to have to learn but for him to do it he has to stand up to do it. But his butt still hurts to much. And will he take his pain medicine???? A big fat no. He took them the night he came home. Just like when he had his carpal tunnel surgery he took them as soon as he got home.

Janetr, you sure look happy in your pic. I love the peek-a-boo sleeves.

Gloria, Charlie just doesn't see vegetable soup as exciting. It was good and hardy, added some fruit on the side so he got a good meal. As usual, it didn't have enough salt in it but that's the way we were both brought up, me with less salt and him with more. So the salt shaker is always available to him. And no, he is not back to the tomato juice. He did have a nice mug of hot chocolate the other day and enjoyed it. He is glad that it didn't give him a laxative effect which was what he used it for before. Now he can jsut enjoy it. I am getting him to drink water with me now.

Joyce, Indiana

Sitting in the ER. Vomiting for 20 hours straight, but the acid bubbling up is what got me here. Either got a piece of food stuck, or have a stricture. Don't feel bad, but the acid wakes me up after a half hour, with or without any food or water in my stomach, and doesn't matter what position I'm in, just burns all the way up my throat. Can't hold anything down to make it stop. Starting to dehydrate, as well. Mostly, just tired.

Becca Thanks for the new thread. Trying to get caught up again. You girls are so busy! Love all the photos!
Nice to see all the Newbies!

barbie so happy you had such a good time on your line dancing adventure!

Joyce love the pic you can't hide happy and healthy. I think skinny Minnie is appropriate

Lisa get well quick. Hope this resolved quickly and you feel relief. You really work so hard.

Becca you are a remarkable person. Glad that you had such a great time with your son. It is such a blessing to count your bleasings

Asking for strength from all of you ladies as I head to a lawyer before I am called as a witness in a work colleagues misconduct investigation. I am so scared about having to witness. Trying not to "borrow trouble" as my mom would say but it is hard not to see how my telling the truth will get her fired. Trying to remember that I didn't do this. I am not guilty of anything but I am being compelled and I can't help thinking I am marking the end of something. Karen from NY

X-rays inconclusive, diagnosis "acute gastritis." However, one of the meds they gave me seems to have relaxed the passage, so am absorbing a cup of coffee. They've also given me the twitches, I feel wired to the walls. Back at the warehouse, but sleep's impossible, so will see what work I can get done.

Miriam, I'm sorry about the kitten.

Regards,
Lisa in West Texas
