The Florida incident has had me very upset. My daughter happens to be gay and she tells me how many times people have been horrible to her and others she knows. Even her own father makes comments. She has had people physically attack her verbally abuse her. My daughter is not a small girl and puts many men to shame at the gym. She has always been able to protect herself. Her soon to be wife (yes gay marriage is legal in my state) is a tiny little petite girl. She is easy to bully. I guess I just don't understand the hatred people have for others. I live in fear for my daughter and her future wife.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Anne - Vent all you like. (Hugs) :flowerforyou:
Penny - thanks for the pics.
I will always have your home deep in my heart, DH saw one blue whale, but the Orca team on board have had over 20 sightings of blue whales. What a job they do, out in the cold all day. They are passionate about their work.Every day they post their sightings . My favourites are the white beaked dolphins that follow the bow wave.
Tonight we had another dancing session. The resident pianist is very good and can play almost anything. Only a few of us get up for this late night dancing, but the gentlemen hosts are there, shepherding old ladies round the floor. I must say that in freestyle DH is a lot better than the gentlemen hosts. We danced past midnight.
Tromso tomorrow.
Love to all, Heather xxxxxxxxxx1 -
I love all the photos of everyone. .. can't figure out how to post one even though I did it last month... if I figure it out I will.

Anne from Wisconsin. I am with you. I have family members that are gay, including (probably) my eight year old grandson. It breaks my heart that people hate! My mother's cousin was gay, had a long term "friend" but they could never show affection in public or live together way back then. I hope things are improving for the small minority that are born this way, into ALL cultures, and then things like that shake my hope for tolerance. I fear for my grandson - it seems that males are even more bullied than women. Although all are. All we can do is try to educate the misinformed, hope that religions stop preaching intolerance, and support those who are gay.2

Penny - love the pictures. I sometimes wonder. Do you ever grow used to waking up and seeing such beauty just outside your windows?

If you are posting from a computer and have photos saved on that computer, it is very easy to post a photo (click on the icon that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded over and then search your computer files for the picture you want).....if you are posting from your phone, then I have no idea how to do it.

Welcome! My birthday is tomorrow as well, so I feel we must be soul sisters. I've been struggling this year as well. I look back and I am down 12 lbs since the beginning of the year but that is just about 2 lbs per month and I'd like to lose more. Re suggested weight training and I agree with that suggestion. Muscle burns more calories than fat and you have the added bonus of feeling more trim. I've also recently started interval training meaning I walk on the treadmill at varying speeds and inclines which is supposed to make my heart stronger. But, I think the first thing is to just be honest with your food logging which is something I need to work on. Weigh and measure and log every bite. Oh and pay attention to those Non-Scale Victories (NSVs). Do your pants feel looser? Have you taken measurements? Sometimes you are losing inches even if you aren't losing pounds. Most importantly, keep coming back here. These ladies are a motivating group and they will have lots of good suggestions. Happy Birthday!

Heather, you posting of your gentlemen hosts reminds me of the one cruise we took. There was this little old lady, sounds funny to say that now, that was always dressed to the T's. She had the best seats and the BEST looking young man with her. He treated her like she was the most precious jewel. I finally asked a staff member and they said she was a very frequent cruiser. She hires through a gentlemen escort service, no not that kind, but these hunks that don't have much money work for this service nd escort little old ladies on cruises and other vacations and treat them like they are the queen. It becomes a lucrative career for them and they travel the world and meet rich old ladies. I am sure some of them make their way into women's wills.
We finally got out to eat tonight, went to Cracker Barrell. It was noisy enough in there that if he had passed some gas and other stuff, no one would have heard it.

Joyce, Indiana - … but, the smell might have had to been blamed on somebody’s turnips.
Having a family member who is gay and having had a gay couple as friends while at art school; I just cannot understand the pure evil of others who are not tolerate of something that, more likely than not, they’re born to be. Not enough known about it; but, it is not necessarily something you’re born with nor is it the environment you grow up it. … It is just; well, it is what it is; and, why do we have to feel like it is necessary to judge them (or anybody). The unnecessary death of “The Voice’s” Christine Grimmy (sp?) is also something that was totally stupid beyond belief. Also in Orlando, FL
Makes you wonder if you want to go out to anyplace ‘in public’. But, to NOT do so means that the ‘enemy’ wins.

We had 5 inches of rain last night. Glad I got the lawn mowed yesterday. Today edged our sidewalk best to do this after a major rain. Yesterday qualifies as this. We are looking into what to do with the old air conditioner now that we have the ductless system. We looked into putting a window into that space. The estimate was $2000. She we are still looking into what we will do.
Prayers for Orlando.
Miriam hope you feel better soon. Margaret 0 -

But at the end you wrote "Now, please find your largest hammer and pound this into my brain. I do not want to let you down." I understand your thinking here, but sweet lady you need to put yourself first and above all not let yourself down. (((Hugs)))

Hi gals,
Karen – a team effort would work…. Wish you were closer – I’d help!
Karen and Cherie – fun that you got to meet! Between you two and Heather and Penny --- I think I am getting jealous.
Linda – cute kitties!!!
Rosie in So Cal - what an exciting event… on to the next chapters..
Paula – welcome
Joyce in SD – great pic!
Casey – welcome – My grandmother lived in Oceanside years ago – she is gone now, but I have fond memories of that place.
Katiebug – Glad to be in good company, my mailman walks the route…
Michele – I love ice!!! Cute turtles!!!
Becca – you have only 2 jobs this month 1 take care of you, 2 take care of family…. You can keep up with us next month… just know we are here sending hugs good thoughts and love.
CJ – I am really curious about your long term goal to live out of suitcase permanently…. I love to travel but love my roots…. Are you wanting to be on the road all the time?
Lisabridwell – So first you are not too heavy for yoga – we each start somewhere! And there is a lot to read – I usually try to have a meal with everyone, as I live alone so breakfast or lunch is my usual choice, but like today – dinner is in the oven, the cleaning lady is here and I am sitting typing to you.
Tamyena – welcome
Pip – hard to take it easy for you, but do the best you can, rest and ice is probably the best medicine.
Beth – great picture – I am convinced the more a mom complains the more they leave it the way it is.. my god son lets his hair get longer and longer – he’ll tell me it is driving him a bit nut but that his mom is losing a gasket! So he just waits until she offers to pay for the haircut, then another week or two and he’ll get an offer of a haircut and gas money – then he goes for it… and she still has not figured this out.
Anne – sending hugs - it is scary and seems so unfair – to hate for no reason.
June Goals

11,000 + steps everyday

Evening folks. Another lovely day in the Caribbean. Four dives today which really burns the calories. I eat like a horse when diving like this. Lol. Just can't keep eating like this after I get home.

Greetings!
Linda/IA – I am just a couple hours north of Sioux City on I29. I’ve been to a couple conferences in Sioux City in past years and have enjoyed shopping there. A few years ago my husband and I drove to Sioux City on Easter to eat at a restaurant we enjoy. A few days later, we got a speeding ticket in the mail from the cameras they have posted along the interstate. Turned into a rather expensive meal out! Happy Birthday tomorrow!! Hope you have a fabulous day!
Also Happy Birthday to stumplovingly!
Joyce – glad to hear you and Charlie were able to go out. Cracker Barrel and a good selection of food with several with lower calorie counts.
A couple years ago, I lost 30 pounds using MFP, but I since slowly put most of it back on. So I’m starting over and have about 70 to lose. Due to the heat, my exercise machines (treadmill, exercise bike, and weight machine) aren’t very accessible, so I need to figure something out because I know I can’t do this without moving more.
It’s late and I need to water the flowers on my desk before heading to bed. Wishing and praying for everyone whatever it is you need most.
Joyce in SD
