    Have got the best idea of all. I'll leave a note saying I am camping at Pohingina and they are all welcome to join me. They will find me somewhere up Beehive Creek!

    I kind of did that the last time we went to Canada (June/July last year).

    The previous time, we took several days and went to several different places that were rather out of our way to see various friends who wanted us to visit. Although several of them assured us they would be there and were looking forward to seeing us again, we basically were stood up because other things came up in their lives at the last minutes. Like in one case, it was more important to nap. We weren't too pleased.

    So this last time, I announced that we'd be in the Rockies (an area I love), in these locations, doing these hikes, and if they wanted to see us ... they could come there and meet us. :mrgreen:

    Oh, before I go I want to say that I think moving to a different part of the country, or a different part of the world, every year or two would be an amazing way to live. A whole new area to explore, sights to see, customs to learn about, flora and fauna and history...oh the riches!

    We would love to do 6 months in Canada and 6 months in Australia ... and maybe different areas of each. But until we can actually arrange something like that, we just take as many holidays as we can. :)

    Ohhh, OK. Any guy that can grow things, is a gem indeed! My husband let's me play in the dirt, fill pots etc, but my patience is a kind of live or die plant, don't be looking all wimpy at me!!!

    Becca, I had to scroll back to the photo of the tree and picture it with buttons. Just my opinion, but I think that would be AWESOME!!! Especially with different sizes and shades of the colours in question. I hope you get to do it at some point. I also love the wheelbarrow full of flowers. Something I've seen on Facebook is tree lengths cut and carved out to look like train cars, with flowers planted in them.
    Sharon, glad that Jason is going to NA, sincerely hope it will help him.
    Sending hugs and healing thoughts to those with injuries and ailments. Hoping you all feel better soon.
    Have had a few difficult days but tomorrow I plan on doing some pampering and not much else! I have a massage appointment and then a nail repair appointment. I have one nail that I cracked close to a year ago. It cracked all the way to the quick and has kept splitting. I have been getting an acrylic overlay on it for a few months now. Fortunately that's cheap and quick! I just wish it was showing some sign of growing out, but the split is still showing all the way down the nail. Grrrrrr..... Oh well, I suppose it will grow out eventually. After all that, hubby has a chiropractor appointment. I won't be going to that, I just get to make dinner. Then it's into the tub for a nice hot soak. Looking forward to it!
    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Yeah, my husband is the gardener too ... he works in horticulture, and then comes home and does amazing things with all our roses and protea and hedges and things.

    We have a gardener to keep our grass in check, but the bushes and shrubs are my husband's domain.

    Oh ... speaking of which ... we've had large grape vine growing over our outdoor patio area. This year it produced grapes!! They're just little, but there are a lot of them, and if you don't mind something slightly sour, they're actually edible. :smiley:

    Hi Gals,

    Barbie – thanks for keeping us going!
    So goal for January was participate in logging and this forum on a semi-regular basis, and I did it..
    Feb goal is January + I want to log my food 20 + days…when I log I lose… so I need to log.

    Janetr – excellent !!!! Love the what falls out of your cup post

    Allie – thinking of you.

    Rye - I have found quite a few I love that are part of NPR; TED talks; Stuff you missed in history class; Stuff you should know; Food Stuff; Ridiculous History; The food Programme (BBC)

    Sue – OH MY!!!! Sending hugs and thinking of you.

    Computer backups - I back mine up to the cloud, using Carbonite, I really like the idea that I don’t have to think about it at all, if I’m online my computer is backing itself up.

    Lisa – Safeway a grocery chain in CA has gift cards that do not allow you to spend them on tobacco or alcohol products; I don’t know what’s available in CO but maybe that would help you feel like the money you were sending was going to better choices.

    I love mushrooms, and even caramelize them for a different taste and texture.

    Beth – ((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

    Barbara – wishing you luck!!!

    Rye - I just going to have to look into streaming "The Good Place". Even if I do have to pay for it, it'll be worth it.

    Welcome everyone new.

    I guess we got here around 7:30. Boy, do I ever have a sinus headache! This happens when the weather changes, and it was so cold in Newton and warm here. As we were going thru Georgia, that's when I started to feel it.

    Skimming because feeling really bad.

    Friend and her hubby are supposed to be here tomorrow. I absolutely remember having a pill shooter to give Loki has capsule, but for the life of me I can't find it. Hope one of the pet stores around here carry it.

    Barbie - good luck to Jake

    Going to try to get to sleep. Oh, the pain.

    M in OZ, congrats on your mini vineyard! I had a neighbor that grew grapes against her wall that separated their property from ours. She told me any vines that grew on my side, the grapes were mine! It seemed to love where it was growing, because we had a lot of grapes on our side and the wood fence had to be reinforced! They were the little champagne green grapes, so sweet!

    Heather what a caring friend you are. Profiteroles were just the thing for your friend to enjoy after such a grueling day.
    Terry rooting for you making your goal. Happy birthday a week in advance ;)
    Lenora OWWWWW! Are the dizzy spells something new? BP? Sorry I missed your venting joke ;{
    Joyce Onderland is Onderful no matter why. You are loved here, Joyce, whether you get out of bed or not ;)
    Yvonne, asking hubs for one weekend a month for household projects? Brilliant!
    Drkatiebug, Fooey on basal cell! Very glad you got it checked out. Good luck taking your mother to see her cousin, prayers for her and your family.
    Wendy so glad your daughter is well enough to drive and soak. Hope her pain resolves soon. LOVE the "leave a note" idea ;)
    Machka you're right, the laundry and decorations can wait while you study for the exam. You are a wonder woman to work full time and take such an intensive course. Brava!
    Barbie great idea, will use this thread as reward. Safe travels and good thoughts for solution to Jake's back issue.
    Lanette "at least shaved my legs" LOL, That only happens here just before a Dr appt. ;}
    Sue in WA Maintenance man in the locker room? Yikes!
    pip sure looks like spring wherever you are!
    Michele let your friends pamper you, sinus pain stinks.
    Becca we had a champagne vine back in Boise and boy did the dogs love those sweet grapes that dropped. ;)

    Mindful hugs to all,

    I've got Good Place on my list to watch I'm lucky in that my DD has added me to her Netflix and Amazon accounts so streaming costs me nothing, I recently bought Amazon Firestick which is better than my old Apple TV

    Have done exercise and off to get my roots done now

    We keep getting snow flurries but set to clear later very cold though

    Have a great day everyone

    Aw ... thanks! :blush:

    I'm not sure how "wonderful" I'll feel by Thursday afternoon. It's Tuesday night now and I'm planning to stay up till about 2 or 2:30 am, and again on Wednesday night, then the last bit of studying Thursday morning.

    However, I did just sort out the concept of Probability in my head finally, so that's good ... and my stress level is such that my appetite has almost disappeared, so I'm easily staying within my calories. Maybe I can lose a little bit of weight in this process!!

    My throat is full of razor blades and my cough makes it a special form of torture in there. I didn’t know sugar free cough drops existed but DH found them for me.

    Back-ups DH set us up a networked drive and back-up. But once a year we copy the whole kit and kaboodle and take the copy to my mother-in law house. Our off-site storage.

    The Good place Besides the show’s humor being lovely, delightful and kind, the acting performances being top notch, it makes my DH and I think and talk about the show and moral issues raised. We probably have a one hour or more chat about each half hour show. And it never fails to surprise and never takes the cheap and obvious way out. I think it is perfect TV.

    Good morning, Ladies

    Tracking my food daily and although I've gone over several times, it wasn't enough to give up. Excess weight isn't gained overnight, so I have to remind myself it won't be lost overnight either. Persistence!

    Today's task is taking my mom to the bank to notarize her signature for unclaimed money. It was suggested to my SIL to research a site as she's the executor for her mother's estate. So I looked at the site and found my mom's name listed, but, alas, nothing for me. The address is unclaimed dot org. If you search, I recommend using your last name only as I found 2 entries for my mom, one being her nickname.

    We both joke, we look at a plant , it dies. Don’t have a house plant because of that. They are beautiful to have in the home, if we had them, they would end up dead

    Hi all!
    Just done Day 2 Week 6 of c25k. :D Very cold out. Brrrrr! I listened to Schubert on my headphones to see if that helped the earworms. Not quite the same as a catchy beat, but it got me through. KJ - I have to have some music on because I'm using an app that talks you through the different stages and you need the music for the bits in between. When I'm a proper runner I might not have it on.
    I needed something from Amazon to add to my Add On items, so I ordered a book about running - Your Pace Or Mine. I told DH and it turned out he'd already bought it for me as a gift for Valentine's Day. What a sweet thought! (I think I've told you this already!) So, as it arrived yesterday I've given it to my yoga friend who walks and runs. :D We all went out for coffee in the pub after yoga today as next week is a gap week. I was used as an example of forward bends today in the class. :Do:)

    Lots of love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Hi ladies,

    Pip, those flowers are so beautiful. Wish I had your green thumb.

    Wendy, I love your way of thinking ! so many great ideas.

    Evelyn, hope you enjoy your day of pampering.

    Lanette, since my hysterectomy, the hair on my legs don’t grow except for one or two on each leg. Still have under arm hair though not as thick. Don’t missing shaving at all.

    Allie, give yourself some down time. Remember you are still grieving and need to take some time to yourself.

    Beth, not sure if it will help but when I crave chocolate I have an orange. I read somewhere that they use oranges to help suppress cravings for drug addicts and that it works for chocolate cravings too. Seems to work for me. I know you can do it.

    Rye, tea with honey is great for a sore throat.

    Sue from OR, good for you tracking your food. Yes, unfortunately it won’t be lost overnight.

    Drkatie, I love This is Us! I watched the last episode for this season and cried (of course). You get so into the characters and feel for them. I’ve cried many an episode. It’s also go to see that one of the main characters is obese and still has a life.

    Betsy, have a safe trip

    Terry in VT awaiting the storm that's coming.
