WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR AUGUST 2018

Hi Gals,

Machka – the bike idea is great, but messy the way they did it, use sticky Velcro on the back of the picture, so you put one side of the velco on the back of the pic, locate it on the wheel where you want and then put the other piece of velco over the spokes and on to the picture, which will make the picture look like its “hanging” without the clip… you could use kids bike wheels for smaller ones…

Allie (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))


Beautiful art work!

Pip – you look great thin, but were beautiful heavy also

Newbies – welcome, we are a chatty bunch

Kelly – love that you are making your time on the weekend with day care fun for you as well as for him… would he like to cook with you? Sometimes just one is more flexible than a group. As I recall you do some/most of your cook prep on the weekend.

Pip, just lovely!

Trying to be more mindful of things each day... what I eat and how I feel and how they relate.... Dinner out tonight, the DH's day off.... But I did cook healthy meals for us the last 3 nights in a row so I will count this day four of a really good streak as long as I behave tonight! I feel determined....


Frankiesgirl- still raining in Pa... who cuts grass 2x a week in August????

I have been trying to look at a menu ahead of time. It really helps me find a choice that works for me. When we went to a Kurdish restaurant last Friday. The others at my table thought mine looked like one of the better choices overall. It was an entree loaded with cooked veggies, chicken, and spices. Delicious. I did skip eating the rice. We ended up at out friends for desert and rather then have the peach pie with ice cream I enjoyed a fresh peach and sparkling water. Wonderful.

Pip & Kirby:

Tracy in Edmonton: Congrats on the official 20lb loss!!! :bigsmile:

Barbie: The smoke and haze hasn't been bad enough to keep me from walking or horseback riding in the past day or two, but today DH can't handle it. He's having an afternoon snooze just now. It is a good choice. I am also choosing to be less active than yesterday because of smoke in the air, but I just came in from picking blueberries. They are washed and in the freezer.

Becca: I eat the same breakfast nearly every day. It is 1/2 cup of 2% cottage cheese topped with about a tablespoon of blueberries.

Carol: I think you look wonderful with this hairstyle and color. I hope you enjoy it.

NYKaren: Your trip sounds great so far. I hope you'll post the things you see and do while you're there.

Lanette: We're planning on doing different outings day by day. DDIL has some classes that she's taking while they're here, so we'll probably hang out near home until she's finished with them. We plan to see the Columbia River Gorge if possible, and also the coast. The coast is more likely to be pleasant if weather continues to be so smoky.

Barbara the Southern Oregon coastie: We have not used any masks with the air situation so far. When things are too out of whack, we hunker down in our air-conditioned house. DH has a worse time of it than I do because of his health challenges. :ohwell:

Wendy: Thanks for the information on laminitis. I am learning so much, and this is helpful. Most of my horsey friends have been owners for years and are quite savvy. I'm not an owner at all, but want to educate myself. DH has offered to buy a horse many times, but I keep saying no. His situation is not quite stable, and I have to make him the top priority. I don't think I'm in a good position to manage the care of a horse at a level that is good enough for the health and welfare of the animal. I'm delighted to help my friend with Arrow. Between us, we seem to be doing a good job keeping him healthy (100% her work) and happy (partly my work). :bigsmile:


We did several errands today and are now in a resting mode at home. It looks foggy outside, but the fog actually is smoke from the BC fires.

Wendy, I keep meaning to mention how impressed I am with the changes you are making to the picture... the snowy path and the fireworks ones are my favorites - so far....

Kim

Carol happy birthday friend!!💗
Here's to many many more years of celebrating! Love your hair color!!
Love Rebecca

Happy Birthday Carol!

Okie

Happy birthday, Carol!

Katla – I will drop into FB just to check on some of my friends and family. It’s gotten so political that you cannot make any comment that some ‘random’ stranger turns it into a name calling fest. I’ve got enough to deal with without that sort of $#*T. God Bless them, they certainly need it. One DDnL has FB as her “Home Page” with her cell ‘on’ 24/7. Son ‘*kitten*’ about it all the time. Of course, Louis’s attitude is ‘tell her if she must keep it on 24/7 – just go sleep out on the sofa. Other DDnL just ‘deleted’ her account. So many reasons for that and I hope to find out when we go visit. No time to waste on a phone call.

I agree this is an amazing group of ladies. Yeah, it will be a ‘jump in and catch up’. But, I have a few people who can fill me in.

Barbie – I will be back on MFP - Community. If I have anything that I ‘think’ is ‘cute’ or ‘informative’ then I will pass them on through ‘snail email’. I guess when you get to our age. I’m 67 – I don’t have to learn how to keep up with the changes. All I see is that Markie ZipperButt did was expose everybody to just anybody. And he is still censoring things that he does not agree with.

I was supposed to start physical therapy; but, called them and told that that since I am still on a ‘driving restriction’ that we’d have to talk about it after Labor Day. My balance just suxs. I fell today after rearranging some boxes on top of the rack in my utility room and misjudges the last step on the ladder that Louis bought me to climb up on it. My DR because of my seizures was lifted in mid-May; but, now on a driving restriction for excessive sleepiness and ‘sleep apnea’ MD told me NO driving until after I see him for a follow-up. That will be sometime in September.

My MD thinks that going will help me with my balance. The dizziness – well, I guess I will end up having to take medication for that. I did not tell Louis that I fell off the 3-step ladder today. Thankfully, I did not get hurt; but, the boxes that were up on the wire rack we have in our utility room was driving me nuts – just thrown up there. GGGrrrrr!!!!!

Pip – Beautiful; but, the “Buff Pip” is all I have ever known here.

Carol – I’ll be seeing Margaret for the first time in about 2 years. She is ‘supposedly’ letting her ‘bleached blond’ hair go gray. It will be interesting seeing her. She’s had blond hair since they moved to Miami 35+ years ago.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIRL!!!!!

Lenora

Thanks for all the fat compliments:0)

Happyyyyy bdayyyyyyyy!!!!! To you carol

Hi friends. I got home yesterday at about 6 pm, slept like a log (God that's a long drive) and today I am still tired. I will be going to bed after dinner! I'll behave tomorrow. Too tired to think about it now. Take care all and Happy Birthday Carol! Meg from Omaha

Happy Birthday Carol!!!! Hope you are doing something special.

Lenora, no more falling. Those boxes just aren’t worth your getting hurt.
