Well ol Allie is up late ,but I had a lovely time..small non profit artsy place and even though there is a cover charge it was well worth it...the last couple songs were nostalgic ..I can see us 13-14-15 hanging out in my basement which was the hang out,and Joe and Mike jamming out on. The guitars and the last songs brought me back ,sort of bittersweet as that house will be gone from our family soon...but ohhh the wonderful memories..no one can take those away..

Well made it safely to SeaTac and back to pick up DH who went to CA for a couple of days. Of course his plane came in at 8:00 am so had to drive through Seattle in rush hour traffic. Yuck I hate driving in that, makes me anxious. Tomorrow is our last day of Basic Obedience for the puppy. I will miss going to classes. Nessa gets all excited when she sees her training collar.
DGD is spending the night with us. She is watching a horror movie with her aunt so I am holed up in the library. Don't care for those.
Rebecca - Sorry you are sad.
Lisa - Enjoyed your poem.
Lucy - You live in a lovely town. We have relatives there and lived in Sioux Falls for 37 years. Just moved to WA 3 years ago when I retired. Used to take horses to Mountain Meadow to camp and ride. Love Hill City. Guess it was voted most charming town in SD. DH's uncle used to be editor of the Rapid City Journal.
Condolences to Pat and Allie.
Welcome to the newbies. Glad to have you join us.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA6 -
Took the water class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Gin Miller’s Simply Endurance DVD
Rori – have fun at your lunch. You remind me that I need to dig out our Christmas cards. I usually get them written out right after Thanksgiving.
Supposed to volunteer at the Green Room today. Told them that I might get there late. My exercise is quite important to me and I usually don’t leave the water class until about 10. I’m thinking that I may leave a bit early so I can get to the Green Room closer to the time. Then tonight we’re supposed to go to the Hickory Community Theater to see “Finnegan’s Wake”. I understand that it’s really funny.
Margaret – IF the radon was unacceptable, I seem to remember that when we bought this house the people were required to make the necessary repairs and they had to call in an outside company to do it. The company guaranteed their work, and they wouldn’t guarantee it if they did sub-par work. Well, at least you don’t have to worry about that. We rented the house to the owner for a month but that was mainly because the house sold so fast that they weren’t expecting it to sell so fast. But he was a nice guy. You seem to have a lot thought out – good for you! Too bad for the sellers that they’re losing so much. What a shame <snicker> Update: Maybe the radon was mitigated before we bought the house, I really don't remember
Willow – welcome! What a lovely name. I’m so sorry you have those health issues. We’re here for you. Honestly, I don’t know anyone who can completely keep up with this board – we are such a chatty bunch. Don’t feel bad if you can’t. Just respond to those you feel you can, no one will judge you.
KJ – what a wonderful thing you are doing for your inlaws
Volunteered at the Green Room today then made some oatmeal raisin cookies for us for Christmas. Still want to make snickerdoodles and Pete asked for Lemon ricotta cookies last year so I’ll make some for him for this year
Jo – happy birthday to your husband
KATHY – WELCOME!
Cari – My grandmother was a fantastic crocheter. Do you remember when the crochet vests were in style? Anyway, she went to a store, saw one she liked but she didn’t want to pay for it, so she came home and made it from memory. How I regret not learning crochet when she wanted to teach me! I was a know-it-all teenager who “didn’t want anything to do with that old lady stuff”. Now I’m teaching myself. I seem to have so many problems with doing something in the round. You did well at your bbq lunch. Good job!
Went to see the play “Finnegan’s Wake”. It’s funny, when we first got this theater’s schedule, I told Vince that I wanted to see it and he really wasn’t interested. But he enjoyed himself!
Found out today that they aren’t having my water class next Wed. due to the holiday. Really, I think it’s more because the lady who teaches it is taking the week off to go somewhere and they really don’t have any sub ever since the one gal broke her hip. Well…I’ll just do something at home
Vince wants to work on the outside decorations tomorrow since it’s supposed to be in the 60’s.

Huh, I just ordered Sweating to the Oldies from Amazon. I actually used to like them. We'll see how that goes.
Willow from WA USA4 -
Jo—as I was reading and playing catch up, you never know when you will find something familiar, like Chicago. I’m originally from the suburbs, near Glen Ellen. Left IL in 1992, but the rest of the family is back in the ‘burbs (we’ve all bounced around the country). I think that’s why people can’t figure out my accent, I spend half the year in Chicago, and if they figure out I’m from up there, they want to know when I’m getting rid of my accent! Nice to meet you!

My sister-in-law posted this and I thought it was good ...
Nov 1 - smell. My roses.
Nov 2 - technology. Social media and staying connected with family and friends.
Nov 3 - colour. Blue. The blue of the mouth of the river/bay/start of the ocean out my window. The blue of the sky. My new blue sleeping top that was nice and comfy last night.
Nov 4 - food ... cheese. I ate a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches when my husband was in hospital. They were my comfort food. Also cheese has calcium which I think I need. Unfortunately, cheese does tend to be a bit high in calories so I shouldn't eat too much of it. But anything cheese-y is comforting.
Nov 5 - sound. I like listening to the waves and the birds, but I think the sound I'm most grateful for today is my husband's voice. Just the fact that we can talk to each other again.
Nov 6 - "What in nature are you grateful for?" ... That's hard to narrow down to one thing. Oxford dictionary describes nature as "the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth". I am grateful for all of it. I find that getting out into any sort of nature helps to relieve stress.
Nov 7 - "What memory are you grateful for?" ... Another one with so many choices!!! Recently, I've been grateful for two memories. 1) June 2017 ... my husband and I had a wonderful visit to Canada and did several things to make great memories ... hiking, cycling, visiting my family. I clung onto those memories during the months he was in hospital. 2) When I was 9 years old, my family moved away from where my grandmother lived. One of of the last days there, my grandmother took me to her window and showed me a full moon outside. She told me that on every full moon, we could both look at it and know that even though we were far apart, we were both looking at the same moon. That's a memory which has stuck with me all these years, and every time I see a full moon, I think of my grandmother. She's 97 years old ... but not doing so well ... so I've been thinking of her a lot. And I've also been very glad that my husband and I were able to see her when we visited Canada in June 2017.
Nov 8 - "What book are you most grateful for?" That's easy ... The Bible.
I've enjoyed reading all your memories.
Love the discussion about books!
Nov 9 - "What place are you most grateful for?" This is not an easy one for me because I don't have the sense of "home" that many people have. I've moved too much for that.
So ... I've had to give this one some thought. What place?
Well ...
I'm grateful for our current house. It's comfortable enough. It's not very big so it's fairly easy to manage. And it has a great garden which my husband has been able to work in since returning home from his accident. It is also close to a couple beaches, which is nice.
Nov 10 - Taste! Hmmm ... salt. In the "Do you crave sweet or salty" discussion, I fall on the "salty" side.
As it happens, I have a diminished sense of taste and smell for whatever reason, so I divide foods into the basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour or bitter, and from there it's harder to distinguish precise flavours. Although, I do seem to have some odd tastes like, for example, meat and tomato taste metallic to me, and I don't like that. If I salt them well, the metallic taste goes away and they taste salty, which is OK.
Then, one of the side effects of my husband's accident is that he has lost most of his sense of taste and smell. He has regained a little bit, and they say it should return very gradually. But he'll comment that dinner has no flavour, and I'll think, "It just tastes salty to me. Is there supposed to be more flavour than that?"
Nov 11 - What holiday are you grateful for? Christmas!!!
I've always loved Christmas. I even picked up 3 Christmas CDs yesterday. I like having a decent amount of time off ... not just one day ... so I can get things done. I like all the decorations. I like the music. I like the services and celebrations.
Nov 12 - Texture. Smooth. Very, very smooth. Clothing with no texture. Textured clothing is unwearable. Smooth clothing is good.
Nov 13 - Abilities. Right now, it would have to be organisation. While I feel like I'm in the midst of a chaotic whirlwind (and have been for the past 8 months) and I don't feel very organised, surprisingly enough, stuff is getting done.
Maybe I should include things like endurance and tenacity ... "skills" I've honed from my long distance cycling carrying over to "real life".
Nov 14 - Sight. What sight am I grateful for? The ever-changing view out the window of our house looking over the bay and the surrounding hills. Right now it's all grey and misty but it still looks good.
Nov 15 - Season. The season I am most grateful for is summer. I love summer. I'd love it if the year were divided so that there was 1 month of winter, 1 month of spring, 2 months of autumn, and 8 months of real summer weather. We're coming into summer here and I appreciate each and every summer-like day.
Nov 16 - What about your body are you grateful for?
Sometimes I think ... "less and less" these days because I'm literally falling apart.
But ... I'm grateful for my legs which are one of my main methods of transportation.
Nov 17 - What knowledge are you grateful for? -- The tacit knowledge of cycling. Being able to ride a bicycle. It has taken me all over the world. It's how my husband and I met. It is stress relief. And it is part of my husband's healing process.

Saturday -- My husband and I cycled up the Pipeline Track. It's a trail partway up Mt Wellington. At first there are a few houses around, and then the trail continues into the bush up the mountain. It was lovely!
Now ... his Strava says about 25 km. I don't know why there's such a difference give that we did the same ride. But anyway ...
Distance: 24.22km
Elevation: 382m
Moving Time: 2:17:34
Elapsed Time: 2:38:41
Speed: Avg: 10.6km/h | Max: 22.3km/h

I'm glad we don't celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the UK. I have enough problems with Christmas. Lol! I am keeping on track (mostly) and hovering on a plateau again, but I know that if I stick with it the process works, but patience isn't my strong point. I'm getting there, though.
Short bioI'm 72, and live in Northern Ireland. Married 52 years, and have 2 daughters and 3 grand'kids'.
I'm retired, but work as a volunteer Group leader for a lifelong learning charity. I lead 5 groups, and belong to another 10, so am kept pretty busy. I love the Challenges on MFP as the keep me accountable. I'm assistant coach in charge of an optional strength Challenge for a small walking group.
Pre 2015, when I joined MFP, I had hip problems whichnimpacted my mobility, and gained a lot of weight, which I had to shed to qualify for hip surgery. Lost 40lbs, got a new hip and have lost another 20. Trying to get down to a maintenance weight that gives me wriggle room for high days and holidays. 10 more lbs to go.
I love all things arts and crafts, and am studying Shakespeare, Latin and art history, to name a few.
November Daily Goals Doing fine on the goals, Minor drop on the scale this morning.Food
~ Pre-log; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately
Cardio:
~ 9,500+ Steps daily
~ 30+ minutes interval walking
Strength:
~ 15+ mins lower body physio daily or ~ 15+ minutes arms/core/abs
Flexibility:
~ 5 mins stretch before/after workouts
~ 10+ mins yoga or tai chi
Daily Mindfulness Practice/meditation
15 mins Daily Declutter session
30 days of Gratitude in November1) Smell: I Love the smell of my Cocoa Butter Therapy treatment Oil. It reminds me of summer days.15) Season: It has to be Autumn. The colours are spectacular, and I love kicking through the piles of leaves in the woods.
2) Technology: My Seniors Travel Pass, which allows me to travel free of charge anywhere in Ireland. Including state owned ferries and flights to various offshore islands, such as Rathlin and Aran.
3) Colour: The clear deep blue of the autumn sky peeping through the rain clouds.
4) Food: 🍫 What else needs to be said!
5) Sound - the sound of hubby snoring in the middle of the night. Very reassuring
6) In Nature - walking along the coastline which is just a mile from my home.
7) Memory - nursing my 11 day old granddaughter at 6 am on her first Christmas morning.
8) Book: The book which means the most to me is my Journal. I have been writing Journals for over 20 years. I started in hard-backed notebooks, and they have gone through many reincarnations. There are so many volumes they have their own shelves in my study. At present I am using a bullet Journal format. I also love all things sci-fi and art books. 9) Favourite place: My favourite place is my garden. It's quiet and peaceful. It's taken us almost 40 years to create, and we have many mature trees which block out the houses around us. When we started, it was a flat field, with the countryside beyond, and a field of cows directly behind us. Now the town has washed past us, and we are in a leafy suburb. 10) Taste: Today, I am grateful for the taste of the cup of tea Hubster just brought me. It reminds me of how fortunate I am to have him in my life.
11) Holiday: The annual family holiday we have with our elder daughter and her 'children'. I am amazed that they still want to have holidays with their grandparents.
12) Texture: I like the crunchy texture of a fresh crisp apple.
13) Abilities: I have a knack of zoning things out, which comes in very handy at times. I was always a dreamy child, and I have never given up the habit.
Loving the variety of Gratitude entries from everyone. Noticed a few people with similar answers to mine, so I'm obviously not as odd as I thought! 😂😂😂
14) Sight: The sight of the dawnlight when I opened my eyes. It means that I had a good night's sleep, and wasn't up before daylight.
16) Body: I am grateful that my body has responded so well to the changes in my lifestyle, and that it seems to heal itself quickly.
17) Knowledge: I am eternally grateful for all knowledge, but especially grateful that experience has taught me that if we believe we can do something, we will find a way to get there. This knowledge keeps me trying, and looking for ways to benefit from ALL the that Fate sends my way.

Good Morning, Happy Saturday! Looking forward to a weekend to clear the decks around the house. First things first though, I will get to the gym, which always makes me feel better. Meal planning for the week is critical, seems with the ramp up of Holiday happenings, I can get a little off my regular routine. It is very important for me to shop at early hours to avoid the pandemonium in stores, checkout and parking lots! I just get so anxious and stressed it makes no sense to put myself in that sitution, so I will either go very early or not at all.

Morning, afternoon, and evening, my chickens,
Lucy, Willow, Kathy, welcome to all of you who are new to this thread - it's been an amazing resource for me now since March of 2015. Others have been here much, much longer. I'm around 40 pounds lighter than when I came, and working on losing a few more pounds, with all the support in the world here.
Cari - I'm glad you liked the poem! Yes, I wrote it. I have three books up on Amazon now, though none of my poetry yet. Heather in the UK has many more than that, both for adults and children. She's writing the second volume of her memoirs now. I'm writing blogs. MFP rules don't allow us to link them here, but a private message to either one of us can connect you to those.
Allie - I love the life circle you've transcribed, from listening to the musicians jam in your basement as a teen to watching them play. Your life has opened up so much from what it was when I first met you here, it's been an amazing progression to watch you stretch your wings!
Heather - Love it, and well-deserved, you neither look nor act like the age that's on your ID, I'm sure. The skate sounds wonderful.
I had an aMAYzing day yesterday, with two phone calls from a brand new grantor, the first to clarify what we were asking for in the grant, and the second to tell me that it's been awarded. Sending that email to notify my leadership team was particularly gratifying in the current situation, and I'm not ashamed to admit it!
The second was from the lady who interviewed me on Tuesday, to schedule me for an interview with the CEO next Tuesday morning (I'm on vacation all week, so easy-peasy, and she happens to be spending Monday night in Fort Smith, so only about 20 minutes away from me). Evidently I made a good impression at the awards luncheon they asked me to attend last Wednesday, so am moving to the final stage in the process. Which fits into the gratitude calendar for today quite well:
#17 - I'm grateful for the knowledge I've gained, and enormously pleased at the possibility of being able to use everything I've learned in the last year and a half to continue to benefit girls in my new home state.
It was also the first day in months where I did NOTHING productive whatsoever for an entire day. Doodled on the computer all morning, went shopping with my son mid-morning, took a nap in the afternoon, and then in late afternoon, drove with my son to find the place where I'll be interviewing Tuesday morning. It was lovely and restful, peaceful and joyful, as he had good news yesterday too of a more personal nature, and badly needed.
Happy Saturday, my friends...
Love y'all,
Lisa in Arkansas

Wow I missed coming here the last couple days. Fell way behind lots of reading. Lots of new people and I welcome you all. I can't exercise yet. I can barely bring my fit fit to 500 steps a day. and here's the why. 3 weeks ago I ran over myself don't laugh I ran over myself with the car. Thought I had it in park I was in reverse when I got out it started to roll. I tried to jump in but the door knocked me down and ran over my foot and stopped almost at the knee pinning me under the wheel. When someone came to my rescue they wanted to know what to do so dummy and in state of panic told her to start the car and get it off me. Which she did and probably caused more damage than was already done. Oh well it's getting better. I'm doing more. Taking care of the household chores pretty well myself and doing our cooking. So all will be ok I will get better and back to normal I hope soon. Is there such a thing as normal for silly people like me. LOL
I like the silly me i'm overweight but so be it. The number on the scale don't mean as much to me as the numbers on my diabetic monitor. Wow that felt good to get all that off my chest.
But I did good at tops this last week lost 5.2 lbs in a week. Now to keep it up. Who says you have to exercise diet is the main thing to lose weight.
See you all lighter,
Silly girl from Northern Ontario You ask do you have snow. Sure we do and lots of it already.

Now ... his Strava says about 25 km. I don't know why there's such a difference give that we did the same ride. But anyway ...
And yes of course you're in Oz. Of COURSE you're in Tasmania. I know where that is. All my polar research friends tootled off to Hobart a few years ago for a SCAR meeting (SCAR being the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research). What was I thinking? Actually, I remember thinking "antipodes", and Longyearbyen's antipode is a little east of New Zealand, so I wrote New Zealand. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I went to a book release yesterday (another one! the third in just over a week!). The book is entitled "Longyearbyen - Halfway to the North Pole". Two women – one writer, one photographer – came up here and interviewed and took pictures of 50 "ordinary people". They simply approached interesting-looking people on the street and asked for permission to include them. Most agreed (including my husband). Each person got about a page of text presenting their story, plus a photo. The authors had some luck with the weather during their first visit, back in March. A snowstorm had left a layer of white on everything and put some harmony into the color palette. The book earned a diploma in the 2018 competition for most beautiful book of the year. Well deserved!
Lisa - Speaking of well deserved, it's good to hear that you're getting some props for your grant-writing skills. I wasn't posting at the time, but I saw how poorly you were treated by that interim director. It made my blood boil!
I took a rest from jogging yesterday, partly because I was feeling over-exerted, partly because it was -11°C and windy. (That's 12°F even without counting the wind chill factor.) Must get my b... out today. My GPS device is still alive. It has now lasted 8½ days on a single charge and it appears to have about 20% left. Only three more days until I can charge it again. Fingers crossed!

I bought them awhile back and I love them. I especially love that the people in the videos are all ages and sizes and shapes.2 -

Ditto, big time on the congrats to Machka for such amazing progress for both you and your husband. Every time you get him on the bike, you're bringing the man you love back to life.
And thank you, Penny... I've gone through the stages and out the other side to "don't burn bridges," and it's corollary from Frank Sinatra, that the best revenge (not my favorite word) is massive success. That's MY story, and I'm sticking to it.
Trying not to write my letter of resignation until I have another job in hand is taxing my willpower...
Love y'all!
Lisa in AR3 -
Barbie ~ Check your messages. I sent you a PM from Lenora.
#17 Knowledge I am thankful for....understanding a lot about what makes me ME! Knowing that I have weaknesses and strengths and am aware of these things!
Carol in GA3 -
Carol - I'm glad the rain stopped too - have a hike scheduled for tomorrow! Hoping it will be sunny.
Penny - either ninja or spiderman - maybe a spider ninja!!
Rebecca - my daughter taught ESL in Taiwan for two years. I missed her dearly - the WhatsUp app and Skype were my friends. What I learned: distance cannot diminish our mother/daughter bond. Hang in there!
Lucy - get some sugar free gum - also, a diet coke or pepsi helps me through bad craving days - I just can't have a lot because it will wreck havoc on my stomach
Kathy - welcome! Anyone who will quote Tigger is ok in my book.
Allie - I love little places like that - always amazes me the talent that surrounds us!
KJ - as a former caregiver - you are giving your family a wonderful gift!
Cari & Michele - I crochet too. But I have to follow a pattern - not creative enough to figure one out myself! But it is my therapy. Current working on a lego throw for my oldest grandson as he needs one for school and the Spiderman one I made for him is too big!
Machka - I used to bike quite a bit - biked Vermont for 5 days when I was 6 months pregnant with my daughter many, many years ago. Now I'm getting into hiking - same lovely scenary and nature - just love it. I'll post a pic from my hike tomorrow.
Lisa - Congrats! You got this, girl!
#17 - The knowledge I am most grateful for is my doctorate degree. I was a two-year nurse for 25 years before I decided to go back to school so that I could teach. Now I am a doctorate prepared nurse practitioner and LOVE teaching new nurse practitioners. I have found my passion.
Think I'm gonna decorate for Christmas this weekend - then heading to FL next week to play with my grandsons for a few days. Going to Bohemium Rapsody today with friends - movie popcorn for lunch!!! Salad for dinner! lol
I will be adding to little family - Already have Chloe, the Wonder Dog. Now adding this little kitten named Jolene - my friend is fostering her and I'm going to adopt her.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Paige, North GA mountains!9 -
Paige ~ What cute pets. The kitten is adorable.
Off to Walmart to pick up meds.
Carol in GA2 -
Allie and Trish ... very sorry for your losses.
Kelly ... what a very nice thing to say! You made me laugh and then tear up...
Rebecca ... sending you a hug today!
Lanette ... you asked if my husband gets on the treadmill. The answer there would be no. I shared with him Barbie's statement: Make a habit of getting started. His response ... he comes downstairs and sits in a chair watching me walk on the treadmill ...
Lin ... glad to see you back! Running yourself over with your own car is something I could see myself doing ... glad you are able to mend!
16 Body ... long arms! I'm 5'8" with a short torso, but my arms and legs are very long. I'm able to reach things on the highest shelves ... which sometimes means I take longer in the grocery store helping those whose arms are normal length get things from up above! Lol!
17 Knowledge ... The ability to read and comprehend what was written. This has served me well in so many ways ... from being able to cook to managing family health issues.
My baby is home for Thanksgiving Break! He ate ... went to bed ... got up in the middle of the night and ate more ... went to bed ... and has just handed me a list of things he "forgot" at school that he's asking I pick up for him today. Oh yeah ... he's definitely home!
Yesterday we had probably 8 inches of heavy wet snow. Hard to see my harvest decorations under the snow. I hit 12,000 steps clearing the driveway multiple times. Feared I was going to be up with muscle spasms last night, but didn't experience any! Yay!
Today is cleaning day and getting my dining room ready for Thanksgiving ... pulling out china, servers, etc. I'm going to go formal this year as we think it will be the first time we've all been together since my Mother-in-law passed away 6 years ago. Many of her favorites are going to show up on the table.
Have a great weekend!
