WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2018

....

Barbara -- OUCH with the rib/back thing. Hate it when hard to reach places need attention - I can't depend on my DH to reliably apply ben-gay to the appropriate area. The last time my back really went out I was doing a simple exercise video specifically made for seniors, lol. Lots of dance steps and whirling the arms about which I don't normally do, and that was the warm-up. Puppies are a lot of work, as you know, though spaying is a hard decision when you have a great little dog and would like more like her. Your Skye Terriers are gorgeous, I don't think I've ever seen one up close. Is their coat as soft and silky as it looks?

Katla - I think you are in a great position as secretary of the HOA. You know early on info you need to be aware of instead of third hand "what so and so said". I bet your meeting minutes are superb. Thanks for the info regarding your high B12 and stopping the supplements, makes me feel better. I noticed as I pulled up the blood test results online, they didn't test hemoglobin, platelets, white blood cells, etc. So I'll ask the doc if that can be done from the blood they drew last week or maybe in a month or so retesting the B12. I'm kind of Sheldon Cooper in that I like everything completed once a year. Haven't asked for a brain scan yet. Or the poo test, which I guess I should.

Machka - that is great news your DH is getting some mileage on that bike of his!!

Lisa - super about getting into the 170's!! All of the changes for you this year and job challenges.... you are a hero!

Rita - gorgeous sunset photos. One of those clouds looked kind of suspicious to me. Odd shape. Interesting.... lol! Your DH did a great job on that sign!

Mary - Shep has a couple nice friends to play with there. Looks like his home away from home will work well for everyone.

Katla - I never could figure out how to access sites from Facebook...or maybe I could but didn't want to come to think of it. Can you just go back to logging in with a password? (I see you have done that now.)

Sounds like FB got hacked again - I put very minimal information in my profile and have unfollowed just about everyone. I remember when Facebook first started, people joined to be able to share photos and chat with family and friends. Now it's plastered with so much "noise" it's lost that charm. I stay on for the messaging feature and to keep tabs on what my friends and family are up to a couple times a day, then close it down.

Have a great day, ladies. Barbie, thanks ahead of time for the October kick-off tomorrow!

Lanette: You are very sweet. My minutes are not detailed at all, but they hit the main points. No actual decisions were made, but an area of discussion was opened regarding tree removal of a particular tree and it is under study & consideration at the moment. Things tend to move slowly around here.

Okie!

General Question: is no extra sugar (AND no added sweetener) Jam (or preserves or jelly) a thing?

Rye

Thanks Sue (Peach) and Rye!

I think there is jam or jelly with no sugar added called fruit only. I believe my Father who was diabetic used it. I use sf, but it has Splenda added.

Okie

Thank you Allie!
