WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2016

Here's where we moved bk to Seattle, I was slowly starting to loose weight boots the cat is still with us

Sue: I hope your barn is filled with lovely hay today and smells heavenly for the horses. Enjoy the book club.

KarenE: I think you will come to love your light. Meanwhile, enjoy your travels. :flowerforyou:

Rori: Congratulations on four months of freedom from alcohol. WTG!!! You seem to be making excellent progress on many things. I hope the condo improvements go well and you get a good offer when they are completed.

Marcelyn: Three grandson birthdays in the same week is astonishing. Are they siblings, or cousins? :huh:

Barbie: I have my morning coffee with you and our friends each morning. It is a lovely way to start the day. I usually come back again later. :bigsmile:

Lenora: Art is subjective. Many times the teacher is trying to teach a new technique or skill while the student just wants to do what they have always done. New skills are valuable but the kids don't always understand that. :noway:

Miriam: I am so sorry you will be leaving us. I hope you will reconsider. One judgmental and intolerant person can be hard to take, but they have no real power in your life unless you let them. In my opinion, this should be a politically and spiritually neutral site that accepts people as they are. I read the message you shared, and it saddens me. I think it should be flagged so that the leaders of MFP can deal with it. :sad: I don't know whether they police private messages, but I know they deal with things that are shared on the open boards.

I am working on Penney's sourdough bread. I have two bowls of it in progress right now. They're in a barely warm oven, rising in their bowls. I did one the wrong way and the other according to directions. I'll let you know how they each turn out--eventually. Yoga today! I can hardly wait. I'd like DH to come along but he seems to have had a bad night and is in pain this morning.

Heather posted a quote similar to this that I wanted to use, but I couldn't recall it quite right. I went online and found this one.

"So many of us believe in perfection, which ruins everything else, because the perfect is not only the enemy of the good; it's also the enemy of the realistic, the possible and the fun."

I see someone removed one of the latest posts. It was very mean spirited for that person to have posted a private message.

What did I miss! I wanna know some juice!

Hi All - I would like to join this group - may I? and what exactly are we doing? LOL

LOL! PIp-I just popped on and saw Carol/Peach's comment and thought the same as you! "Huh?! Wha happen?" I hope every one who reads the majority of what I post knows that there is a good bit of self deprecating humor and sarcasm in there. It is sometimes hard to understand the tone of the message. And sometimes we just get on here and vent without thinking of who we may be offending. I promise to try to read and understand where the thought is coming from at the moment; and that as the moments pass, our thoughts or opinions might change. Love all of you and would hate to see any of you leave.

:flowerforyou:

Miriam - don't go away!



Mary from Minnesota

I have no idea why Miriam has felt the need to leave. I just know what all she gave tot his wonderful group of ladies. All the intelligence, compassion and knowledge. I hope maybe she has decided to lurk in the background for awhile and is reading our sentiments. Just like Sylvia, her love and how she has shown and allowed her grand children what love is and how to give love in return. They both mean so much to us and to me.

Saw the cardiologist this morning. My oldest daughter was able to make this spreadsheet and send it to my phone. I have no idea how she did that but I'm glad she did. So I finished it last night and clicked on the 'import to printer' and had no idea what it was asking me to do. It was wanting the IP address of my printer! How in the world does one find that???? Anyway, i just showed her the spreadsheet on my phone and she was OK with that. Her first thought was to put me back on that medicine she put me on last weekend that about did me in. She was going to half the dose. I don't ever want to be on the drug again at all. I told her it was like going through a stress test every time and that was 2 days after. So she could really tell I did not want that pill at all. I told her I was scared of it with what it did to me. So she is increasing the dose of on of my present ones.
