WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2018

Got our closing date on the warehouse, which is next Thursday. As long as the guy's got the money, it's slated to go through January 25. Trying not to hold my breath... but the anticipation of that weight being lifted is pretty hard to dismiss.

Lanette, I drink coffee usually mocha turmeric coconut oil most days whether or not it is a fast day or semi fast day. It is a drug, of course, but like most natural drugs, a small amount is okay. If it helps you achieve your goals, IMO use it. I drink it throughout the day if I need a pick me up to get me over the hump. I try not to drink it in the evening though, as I know I will lie awake. Another good little natural drug is Ginseng. I took two capsules this morning.

Lisa, I will hold my breath for you! LOL I am already holding it waiting for our shares to be paid out...

Allie, you sure picked a cute bed buddy! No wonder people are lining up to take him for walks. LOL He's a little heart warmer.

Just been out doing the bees. Weighed myself before and after. Dropped a pound, seriously, from doing bees. The sweat was just pouring down my body today while I worked and I had to pick up some heavy boxes. It is like working out in a sauna.

I'm heading into town now to visit the police station to sign papers, and then go for a long walk. Might take Major with me.

Here's my new favourite quote from the book I am reading now, Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss: "Not my circus, Not my monkeys." It's a Polish proverb. That is good advice some of the time.... Wendy

Hi everyone, happy to see a discussion with my generation I'm new to using MFP but will follow along. I've been signed up for ages but haven't begun using the site too much. I would love to connect with some of you so I have friends on my feed.

Yeah! I’ve finally decided on a name for a jewelry business. There is no other website or e-mail with this name and I will own it. DH is setting up the email and website address in my name. Now I just have to create a website and take pictures of my jewelry.

The name will be “Speaking in Rings”.

I’m so happy to have finally made a decision. Also, I just have to do a few more tweeks to the design of my business card and I can have them printed. Right now the S in the word speaking is one of my bracelets shaped like an S.

Allie, Alfie is such a cutie. No wonder you fell for him. Is he a good dog?

I have a good way of limiting my dressing in a salad. I cut my greens pretty fine and then put my dressing on. And then I toss and toss. Doing that I only use a very small amount of dressing. My husband loves it coated, really coats and dripping in dressing.

This morning when I woke up for the first time to go potty, my hand felt so much better. Not normal but not burning. I was so encouraged. But I went back to bed and when I got up for the day it was back to the usual burning.somi am hoping it means we are getting close to the dosage need to take care of this nerve pain.

Machka, you sure are a busy person. My Mom used to mak grape jam and I remember pectin and those jars. But oh the wonderful jam that would be in the pantry, she kept picked beets, jams and tomatoes in the pantry all the time. Also they had a big garden and had a lot of potatoes and carrots. Dad kept a big barrel of sand in the pantry and kept the carrots in that. He found an article in a gardening that you plant a tomato inside a potato and plant the potato. The tomato feeds off the potato in the ground. You then have a bumper crop of tomatoes above the ground and potatoes in the ground.

Well the evening grooming has begun. Melody starts on Mozart's tail and has made her way up his belly. But so far Mozart has remained passive. He looks like he is asleep. So no competitive grooming tonight????? Charlie tends to over salt our porch and sidewalk and therefore we get it inside on our shoes. Mozart loves t just lay crosswise in the hallway. I guess what is in his tail could be salt. Yuck. Melody is now cleaning Mozart's toes. I have never seen. That one before.


Michelle picked up her bowel prep for her colonoscopy today. I sure hope they find out what is wrong. I have a feeling it will be irritable bowel disease with constipation. I have the same thing only it is with diarrhea. She is constinalty constipated and bloated and uncomfortable.

Still watching the European figure skating championships. I even have the Olympic channels best of past Olypmic figure skating. I think it is mainly the women's figure skating. It is such a beautiful sport.

I agree, Pip, your bod is beautiful. It doesn't look aged att all. I think Kirby would agree. How about an ab shot of Kirby!!!!

Sun was beautiful today, did sme melting of snow. It think it got up to about 41. It is supposed to gradually warm up every day and Sunday up to 50 and Sunday night have some rain which will help some more with the snow melting. Our kids haven't had school all week, in fact Friday of last week was their first snow day and haven't been in school since. I haven't seen any snow men in the yards so parents aren't making sure their kids get out in this snow, but I guess in their defense, it has been very cold. But Ellie has been going to work with Christina since she likes her bosses an who is also 11. They have made a snow fort and done a lot of sledding. For those who don't know, my daughter Christina is a personal assistant to a man who has a lot of different businesses, most of them mining, she has an office at his house. So she goes to work at his house every day. His wife home schools their 3 children. They have Nathan, the 11 year old and then 2 teenage girls. Christina also has a teenage girl, Trinity but she doesn't have any interest in going over there on their snow days. For heir snow day home work, Ellie had a gym assingment of playing in snow. Trinity had a choir assignment of looking up u-tube musicals and singing along. So they both enjoyed those. Their school does a good job of doing daily assignments for each class. They never have to have make up days like our school corporation does because of how the teachers are on there every day putting that days assignment and also being available once a day for help if needed. But I have loved their school system from the beginning, they have one school for kindergarteners. All the tables are little, bathrooms and everything are geared to that size. Then when you get to first grade, you are in a classroom that allows you to go to a second grade room if toy excel. Also every first grader gets a welcome letter from a scone grader.

Ok, enough of me blabbing tonight. Joyce, Indiana
