WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2017

So Oregon! My neighbors giggling at each other while they stumble around their driveway! You don't see plastic dinosaurs everyday!!

Weezieweeks (Louise) - There must be because I think “Louise” was a part of the user name; and, I ‘assumed’ her name was Louise. Might have been incorrect. Gee, at this point, I’m not sure I can eve ‘read’. Louis came in tonight and said something, it did not register with me and I asked him about it, he swore he did not say anything even close. I am sure hoping this is not a sign that my meds are getting wacked out again. GYN put me on about 5 different vitamins and/or supplements. Not sure that my PsycheMD would approve. Got a call into him; but, will probably be tomorrow before I hear anything. Sunday we had a ‘date’ night and I leaned over to dry the back of my hair and got dizzier than I have ever been and I almost passed out. Now, if I lean my head ‘back’ I get dizzy. I can’t deal with this for very long. I’ve had several concussions due to hitting the floor during a seizure.

This woman definitely referred to a ‘diet’ and that she had been off MFP for a while and was trying it again.

Ginger in Texas – Where is the best place to get a Texas Road map? I thought surely I could print one out; but, haven’t checked my printer … Louis has the FL/OK softball game on and I haven’t been able to hear it. I usually do hear it start up. We’re thinking of taking a swing through TX and then wrapping back around to Louisiana to visit Will and Tami for a week. I’ve only been to San Antoine for training with my job; but, that was 20+ years ago. Seems like a helluva drive to anywhere. Especially when you see a map of Texas over the countries in Europe.

Sarah – I have that same “What have you lost?” list and took it to my Nutritionist. She thought it was hysterical. I think yours might be a slight bit different than mine. I’ll make a copy of it, too.

Dana – Hope you get to feeling better real soon! Love the dragonfly.

Becca – We have a way of raising money (I think it is for breast cancer), where you get pink flamingos set up in your yard. HAHAHAHA! They better not ‘flamingo’ me; because they won’t get them back. When a friend of mine lived in Atlanta area, a neighbor around the corner had a bunch of pink flamingos in her yard, and when it got cold, she tied scarfs around their necks.

Are these plastic blow-up dinosaurs? Or is someone wrapped up as them? How do they keep them from blowing away?

Lenora

Dana I am sorry you are not feeling well! Take care!

Lenora, those are two sane adults in large plastic inflatable dinosaur suits! Its gets windy, but never that windy!

Becca

Lenora - I'm not sure of the best place to get a Texas map. When I'm traveling Texas I use my car's navigation system or an app like Google maps. You could check the TXDOT website (Texas Dept of Transportation). You can buy a paper map at most truck stops. You're right - it's a pretty far piece to most things in Texas.

By the way: if you need roadside assistance (flat tire, out of gas or other non-emergency assistance) in Texas: call Texas Roadside Assistance at 1-800-525-5555. A Dept of Public Safety operator will contact a Texas state trooper or local police agency to send help or check on you.

On my morning walk to the bus ... not far from where I live ...


Our beach on a very calm evening ...

Our beach on a wavier day ...

@pitegny ... yes, I love the colour of the water around here. It changes with the weather, like moods.

@Katla49 ... the first photo and second photos would have been taken in late spring (November-ish), and the third one is in summer, probably pretty close to Christmas.

@lhscapil ... I like it when it gets stormy too ... the waves get really big then, and the blowhole (which is up in the cliff in the third photo) gets stirring.

The climate here is very much like the Pacific Northwest.

@GRITSandSLUTS ... I live in Australia, in our southern-most state.

I'm Canadian-Australian, citizen of both countries. Spent the first 40-ish years of my life in Canada then moved to Australia and have been here 8 years. (I've also spent 1-2 years of my life in the US, about 6 months in Europe, and several weeks in Asia. )

Hello everyone. Today is day 7 on my diet. I have lost 4 pounds, which is a little disappointing since it was the jumps tart cleanse. But I'm going to stay positive.
Heather and Karen: I had always heard the 64 Oz was the minimum water someone should drink, and I had heard that you should drink half your weight in water. I live in Arizona, so it is very hot, 108 degrees F today. I have never been a big water drinker and struggle to drink more than 64 oz. So your information was good to hear.
I am loving reading all your posts and looking at all your pictures, all of your love of life and family shines through in your posts.

Did 10 minutes of carb burner DVD, held plank for 2 min 50 sec, then the extremepump class. The plan for tomorrow is to do a DVD on the rebounder

katla - I don't know what your counters are made of, but mine are granite and it's always been said that you shouldn't use vinegar on granite. Now, I've accidentally used it and it hasn't really been a problem. I guess the problem comes in when you use it multiple times.

I was just reading that one thing (supposedly) that takes away itching is to soak in a baking soda bath. Since we have a fair amount of baking soda for the pool, I might give this a try. Can't hurt. Baking Soda would even be gentle on the pipes going to the septic.

janetr - lovely rock

Lenora - sometimes I misprounounce names in the bible, but I keep telling myself "no one will know". And it's true. I think a lot of times people are just grateful for someone else to do it.

Rori - always on the go, that's you. You do a great job staying in all those hotels, food and exercise-wise. I'm always amazed

Beautiful pictures

Heather - congrats

Kate - here's hoping the wait isn't too long

Leigh - good going on the loss! Good job planning

Had bowling today, then home for dinner, ceramics and then mahjongg. I was initially disappointed in a way that the gal who hosts the mahjongg asked someone else. I like playing with only three people, give more opportunities. But in the end it's worked out since now I can leave earlier since I live further away. Before I felt badly leaving early since I knew they needed at least 3 people to play

Felicia - I do hope you feel better fast

matchka - beautiful pics

Michele in NC

KJ - A friend posted this website on FB and I thought about you: smartschoolhouse.com/diy-crafts/hand-footprint-art-ideas

It has 27 or 28 pages of little things made with hand and footprints and even thumb prints. I found that I had to make sure that if an ad popped up I could not go to the 'next' page until I 'closed' the ad (usually at the bottom right of the page; and, on about every other page).

Lenora

I hope I do t go poof in The night like I did last night. Becca, love the whole theory about the rocks. It not only gets kids out looking for them and a sens of accomplishment. Plus the maker of the rocks is using art which sometimes a dying art n the minds of children. It kind of reminds me of geocaching. I don't know if my daughter and family have done any of that on their vacation this time. They fl home tomorrow. A teenage boy from their church was gong to fly down to that area and went with them. His parents like independence. I think 14 is to young to have that kind of independenc. Anyway they are going to pick up ytoorrow and get him to the airport for their trip home. I don't know why his host family can't do it.

MR Mozart had his first wellness check today. Vets say 1 pound per month when they are kittens and we were told he was 8-10 weeks old when we got him and that will be 2 weeks this Thursday. He is 2 pounds 15 ounces so he is right on track for a possible 3 month old. And perfectly happy. I tried to be a good cat Mama tonight and put on the 4 nail caps that had fallen off. That did not work at all. You are supposed to set everything up before you wrap your precious one up like a burrito. So I had the glue in all the nail caps, hot him wrapped up and started. Well when I was trying to put the first on, he was squirming, Meloedy was right there wondering wha was wrong and the nail kind of stuck on me between the Indy fingers of both hands. The adhesive really, really sticks. I though I was gong to have to go around with a kitten nail cap stuck between both index fingers until it naturally fell off. So I gave up. MIchelle will help this weekend if Melody will let her. The vet did say that hey do front declawing in indoor cats as long as they aren't 6 months old. The nail caps should be first but if they don't work and the owners have health problems like on blood thinners, then they do do it. We will air and see how the nail caps work again.

Well my eyes are almost asleep. I was doing research on creating a bedtime routine for a kitten and they suggested a 'music cat station' on Pandora. So I a, listening to that. It is working n me!

Ginger - Love the storm pic! We had gales and rain last night and it's very gloomy and windy this morning. Yesterday I put the heating on.

Yoga this morning. First time in three weeks because I injured myself at home just before last week and the previous week was a holiday. I'm going to drive the new car there for the first time. Luckily it's only a few hundred yards away and the parking is easy. The only hazard is the brambles and branches in the hedge beside the narrow road. Sometimes you have to pull in to the side when someone is coming the other way. Don't want to scratch it. :noway:

DH is going to shop this afternoon. I haven't been able to shop for four days as I had no car. We did stock up beforehand. He is a very useful husband. He does all the washing up, rubbish emptying, kitchen care and fruit shopping and preparation. Also general shopping on his own when needed. Wouldn't swap him for anything!

Barbie - Jake seems to have a restless streak, like me, always looking for the next challenge and excitement. You are just the opposite. Perhaps he needs to get his teeth into a major project. Veganism might be it for a while. It would certainly be a challenge to do it properly. Is there some voluntary project he could get excited about?

Lots of love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx
