Did Solid Gold Cardio DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to go to the deep water class.

Rebecca – I’m so sorry to hear you were in such pain and still are. Sending good vibes. What a majestic deer you had there!

Jennifer – welcome. I bet Mary would have some good advice about the Keto for you.

Question: I need facts to back up what I want to say to Vince. The other day right after he ate lunch he suddenly got dizzy and nauseous (it went away after a few minutes, he’s fine now). Like his father, he immediately attributed it to something he ate. Well, he ate the same thing for lunch that he’s had many times. He’s convinced that it’s these cupcakes that I put out for him. Now, I made the cupcakes, just froze some so that they all weren’t out and go stale. He’s convinced that that’s what caused it. He’s had cupcakes from this batch before with no problem. Same with the icing. What I want to say is “it’s not always what you ate, but what you DIDN’T eat. Our bodies are very amazing at telling us what we need. For example, when we need extra iron, even before the blood test confirms this, our body tells us that we need extra iron because we get tired very easily”. I just need more examples. Anyone have any?

Karen in VA – go-karting is so much fun, just wish the cars could go faster….lol

Rye – you poor dear. Please let us know what’s happening. Carol’s hypothesis sounds reasonable

Rita – feel better fast

Vince had these lights (rope lights) all along the railing on the deck, but they needed to come down since they were coming off. They weren’t rated for outdoor use. Well, I spent almost all day taking the adhesive off the railing. I would guess 15-20 feet of railing. Spent all day getting the adhesive off. Someone suggested that you put motor oil on a tree stump that you want to get rid of. What it’ll do, I have no idea. I put some of the spectracide in them a while ago and today I put this motor oil in them. I don’t know what’ll happen. We went to Lowes and got some more blocks that Vince put around the cantilever umbrella. He likes it, I’m not crazy about it. But he needed me to pick up the blocks, he positioned them. Then he went into the spa to have the jets on his back. Tomorrow I’m planning to spray paint the blocks that I cut yesterday to use for the Christmas decorations. I don’t do a fantastic job painting, just enough so that they blend in with the grass. Then I want to wash off the deck railing since there’s so much mold. Then I want to put down the extra rocks that Vince got up, there are a few spots where we need them.

Thursday I volunteer at the green room, afterwards I want to go to the farmer’s market and see what they have. Hope they have honey since I need some. Then I’ll stop at Lowes and get this 30-minute stuff that takes off mold. I did put the wet & forget on the railing, but I’m a bit impatient. Also, if Vince is going to put different lights around the railing, I want it to be clean.

Precious perla – welcome. Come in often for lots of support and motivation

Pip – are you trying to outdo Kirby???? So glad you weren’t hurt

Rebecca – don’t you just hate it when you have to wait so long to see a doctor? I called about my trigger thumb weeks ago. At that point it wasn’t real bad, only happened every so often. I can’t see him until next week. Now it’s gotten to the point where it’s like the trigger all the time and the strength in my right thumb just isn’t the same as the left (weaker). Now if I’d been able to see him when I first started having symptoms, maybe it wouldn’t be like this. Oh well…. I feel for ya

Rori – happy birthday to your dh. Good for you getting all that swimming in. Are you impacted at all by the fires?

Michele in NC

Chicken crust pizza with turkey pepperoni for dinner. Yum!

Lenora: I think of Heather when I hear the quotation that begins with, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." It is based on a quotation from Voltaire.

Rita: I hope that you feel better soon. (((hugs))).

Heather: I love to hear about your travel adventures.

Barbara: I tried growing snow peas a couple of years. The vines were over whelming because there were so many peas all at once. I really don't care for snow peas unless they are fresh. Freezing the crop wasn't satisfactory. Beans are different. I think they handle freezing better. :ohwell:

Okie: Good luck with your AC. :flowerforyou:

Precious Perla: Welcome!

Alison: I think it is grand that you won some money at bingo. Don't spend it all in one place.

Pip: Be careful out there! I'm glad you weren't hit. :flowerforyou:


This afternoon I robbed our boat of silverware, pots and pans. They're in the dishwasher right now & I'll be putting them in the RV tomorrow. I was going to by new, and changed my mind. Why spend all that money to buy new when I have things available that I'm not using? I left glassware and dishes on board. I may decide to retrieve the glassware. It isn't actually glass; it is acrylic.

We reserved a campsite at a county park for the fourth of July and went up to see our spot today. We liked our spot but the caretaker says we shouldn't camp there because we won't be bringing a horse. I need to go into the county offices tomorrow and talk to the woman in charge. Nothing in their information said that a horse was a requirement to camp in that spot.

Michelle don’t runners and cyclists need to watch their electrolyte intake to make sure they get enough or bad things will happen?

Rye

Yes we do.

Could be menopause. No just kidding. It's just that's what happens to me all day long.

Could be dehydration.

Could be the icing on the cupcakes. Things that are extra sweet do that to me too.

Could be vitamins and minerals if he's taking them with dinner. I have to take my supplements just before bed or I feel a bit sick and dizzy.

Could be a TIA: https://strokefoundation.org.au/About-Stroke/Types-of-stroke/Transient-Ischaemic-Attack-TIA


Incidentally, I have borderline haemochromatosis (too much iron occurring naturally in my system). If I take iron tablets, one of the first set of symptoms I feel are quite significant fatigue, weakness and lethargy. For several years, I thought the solution to any fatigue, weakness and lethargy I might be feeling was to take iron because I didn't know any better ... but it never seemed to help, in fact, I always felt worse. And then I had blood work done. Turns out, iron was entirely the wrong thing for me. In other words, it is good to get the bloodwork done to know for sure, and not just guess.

If this is something your husband is concerned about, insist he go see a Dr.

Rori I am one of the less fortunate here who have not had the pleasure of meeting you in person. Your last post gives me a lovely picture of the person you are, though. I think you must be a person who is organized, who knows how to plan activities and contingencies, and who has an optimistic and practical outlook. We were both in the Denver airport at the same time a couple of years ago, but neither of us knew it. Darn it.

Thanks Margaret!

Lisa - keep digging! You know you can do it, and so do we. We will all add our virtual shovels to help you!
