Kylia: You were amazingly productive yesterday. WTG!!!
Carol: If people set off sparklers and pop-its I don't think there will be any trouble. If they go in for bottle rockets and firecrackers, the camp host will deal with it. Things that are legal in Oregon are not that upsetting. The noises that make our dog so upset are from fireworks across the river in Washington where more powerful fireworks are legal. The sound carries over the water amazingly loudly. :flowerforyou:
KJ: We have a fountain like that in our town. The kids can turn it on themselves and absolutely love it. :bigsmile:
Heather: So sorry that your cancer friend is getting worse.
Pip: Happy 2285! :bigsmile:
Lanette: I went shopping for CBD oil here a couple of weeks ago. One shop had it in a liquid mix with something else, and I shied away from the price. Yikes! What is a reasonable price? How do I know about strength? Maybe I was being a cheap skate. I fall into that pattern regularly.
Today we pick up the RV and load it up with gas, propane and water. We are nearly done with the curtain repair and it is coming out very well. We are both pleased. I have a bit of hand sewing to do and then we are done with it. Yay! It feels good to accomplish this task.

Teresa from Troy, reclining stepper, treadmill and yoga? Well done!
Heather offer accepted on great house in Hove? Eeeeeeeee!!!! Contingencies? Chains? Please tell us EVERYTHING.
Seems like I can't manage to do more than two things a day. Yesterday let the meditation/knee/core exercises slide but did go to T'ai Chi and dog school.
Today only Line Dancing, watering garden and lunch with new friends, so NO EXCUSES. Getting down on floor NOW!
Enjoy the day lovelies,
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD.

Good morning!
I’m so busy with grandkids I haven’t posted much. But I have scrolled thru yours.
Tasteiheavn welcome! I started here since March 2017 but took a long break and now since April I’ve gotten back on track. I’ve lost about 35 lbs and 60 more to go!!
We are going to Charlton Campground in the Ouachita National Forest today so the grands can experience swimming in the creek. They have it dammed up and it comes from a natural spring. We’re going early because we are having a heat index of 105f today. Hot! I got the cooler packed!!
Had anyone been watching the college World Series? Our beloved Arkansas Razorbacks are playing against Oregon State. The final game is tonight! Some fantastic baseball ⚾️ players!
Got to get moving.

Update on my daughter Sarah. I'm feeling extremely frustrated as a mom as I do not feel things are progressing at all. She still has the bowel obstruction and the abscess in her abdomen (which is 10 cm in size and wrapped around her ovaries and other areas). Of which is an assumptions on their part. They will be doing an ultrasound later this afternoon to see if there's any change. It has been one full week now. If any of you ladies have prayer chain at Church could you please ask them to pray for her.
Thanks for your support!

20 Hogarth Road, Hove, Sussex, England.
Clever people can look it up on street view.
No plans or photos because it was brand new on the market.
Detached, parking, storage garage, garden, good condition. You can see the sea from the front gate.
The vendors have had an offer accepted on a house with no chain. They want to move quickly. Crossing every finger and toe.

Made it to Homolovi State Park in Winslow Arizona yesterday. WiFi was out and spotty cell so can only post when things are working. I’ll post pics when I can.

Heather - crossing fingers! Being able to view the sea from the front gate sounds wonderful!
Dana - 105f? What a great day to be in the creek!
Katla - the hemp CBD oil is expensive, a person can expect to pay $30 or more for a small bottle it seems. My health food store gave me a teensy little bottle of liquid for a sample since I'm in there all the time, lol. And the CBD/THC products at the medical MJ store are also costly - if I had to take it on a regular basis I'd hone my Master Gardener skills and grow a few plants.
A lot of the loud fireworks around here is illegal and is to only be set off on the Indian reservations, and I wonder if that's what you hear popping off on the WA side. Some are M-80's which are the equivalent of small chunks of dynamite from what I understand. There's a mean place in my heart that gets satisfaction when I read that some dumba$$ got his or her hand severely damaged by one of these. I'll have to talk to God about it eventually.
Oh Mary, I would be champing at the bit to have the docs figure this all out and get Sarah on the mend. Hope the ultrasound is productive! Prayers sent.
Carol - your guest bedroom looks so cozy!! That and Katiebug's bathroom would make the perfect B&B as someone suggested.

Hi friends. Well it looks like stormy weather in on our agenda again for today. I hope the College World Series isn’t postponed! I have electricians coming over to fix a couple of ceiling fan remotes soon. My A1C yesterday was 6.3 (down from 7) and my blood pressure was 112/60. I’m starting my Wellbutrin today. UGH. Sick of taking meds. I take more than the national average for “elderly, sick” people.
Tasteofheaven: Yes! Welcome! What can we call you?
Lanette: birds? Oh my. No can do! Maybe birds made from quinoa!
Pip: I agree with Dr.Katie
Barbara and Lanette: I haven’t read that book, but my vet recommended cannabis for Benny Beagle. Apparently it works!
Margaret: lovely pics
Mary: glad DD and DIL are doing better!
Barbie: I’m sure the babies were glad to see you
Michelle: after my June off work, I wonder how I managed to work the rest of the year!
Suebdew: just jump right back in. Preparing for your trip will all get done.
Karen: Glad you had luck with the thunder shirts. I haven’t had luck on 2 dogs with them. But at least the vet will take them back.
KJ: looks like a fun bunch of boys!
Teresa: hi and glad you joined us.
Heather: hooray on the house! Congratulations!
Kylia: you were productive for sure!
Katla: it’s great that you are getting to the end of a big project. That always feels good. I think. I don’t remember :O
Dana: Go OMAHOGS! Omaha has adopted them. That was quite a game last night. One year I will actually venture downtown to see them. It’s really stormy looking right now so I hope the game isn’t postponed.
Mary: yes, will add your DD to our prayer chain. Is it time for a second opinion?
OK it’s beginning to thunder, so the computer is going off now. Enjoy the day. Take care, Meg from soggy Omaha

Hi Sisters, it's 4am here but I am wide awake. Not sure why, but taking the extra time as a bonus! I am heading down to my daughter's house after I feed the animals to stay with them this weekend and run the half-marathon with my son in law. He is only running the 10K as he had an injury and didn't get as much training time as he'd hoped for.
So, the first thing I did on my retirement was go to the doctor for hormone testing. I asked for a saliva test to measure my estrogen and progesterone levels and he refused to do it, saying it wouldn't tell us anything. I argued but he wasn't listening! (Not my regular doctor, a young male) He insisted that a blood test would tell us more, so I agreed to do that because I wanted a blood test anyway to check my testosterone levels. I had to argue for that as well, but I won that arguement. I got the testosterone result yesterday and I'm not really sure what it means. My free testosterone is 7 pmol/l but my SHBG was in the high range at 162 nmol/l. Normal range is supposed to be 20 to 90. This is a hormone that binds with testosterone and other hormones and makes them unavailable in the body, according to Dr. Google. It said on the lab results that a high SHBG can be due to pregnancy, or birth control pills or HRT, none of which apply to me.
I haven't heard from my doctor at all. I got the results directly from the lab as I gave them my email address and signed up for My Health. So now I am wondering 1. Why is SHBG so high? 2. How do I lower it? 3. Am I low in progesterone? 4. Am I estrogen dominant? 5. Do I need supplemental testosterone?
I have emailed another health place that a friend recommended that is out of town and have asked if they will do a saliva test for me and interpret my blood test results as well. Hopefully they will be more helpful than the doctor I saw here.
If anybody has had a similar result, please let me know what treatment you did? Thanks, Wendy 1 -
So eldest son had night check work from 3 pm Tuesday to 8am Wednesday! Then he slept from probably 9:30 am yesterday to 4pm. Up taking a shower, had dinner with us and got in uniform to ride on base at 7:30pm. Worked from last night until I heard the garage door open at 3am. He's such a hard worker! His job is an aviations technician. His hands are always greasy, and he has wounds here and there, arms, legs, face, from working on jets. He probably doesn't notice half of them! I'm going to buy some heavy duty hand soap for his bathroom, and for the "mudroom" bathroom. I
I told husband its hard worrying about son's again. I mean when we were empty nesters it was easier to text them now and again, and things were alright. Now when he isn't home I worry, like any Mom would. Husband said, "Just stop, he's an adult (almost 30 yrs old)" . Yeah, like I can just turn that off and on! He does have a light on his bike but its riding at 3 in the morning that worries me!I
Pop congrats for the mega high continuous postings!!! You definitely have this logging engrained into your life! Its such an inspiration!
Well my breakfast this morning. What did y'all have?
Blessings for the day!

Mary thoughts and prayers. It is so hard when your child is trying to heal from a major medical issue. I hope you are taking time for you, so you can be there for her.
Our neighbor is starting a small brewery with some friends. It is the first Hmong brewery in the nation. We went to the ribbon cutting ceremony today. The closest I have come to an event like this is when they rededicated a local park. It was an area sacred to the Native American that was used as a dumping ground. It was cleaned up and rededicated as a local park.6 -
HEATHER looked at house on Google maps, looks lovely and on a nice street. Hope everything goes well
MARY thoughts with you for daughter's recovery
Wore my new skirt yesterday (remember my sewing project)

Kate UK - I also like your whole outfit -- And seeing your butterfly!! I see some yellow and black ones around here, swallowtail, but rarely see orange & black monarchs. Looks like the milkweed will be blooming shortly.
