Barbara, Add my husband and me to the list of people who love US 199 from Crescent City to I-5. We consider the part along the Smith River one of the most beautiful stretches of road we've ever taken. I know how you feel moving to a new place and not having a bunch of friends, yet. Sorry to hear that you'll have to change churches for awhile til the road situation is solved. Maybe you'll make some new friends at the new church.
Okie, I have been scanning photos for so long and still don't see the end of the project but you have inspired me to consider scanning tax documents and stuff related to real estate. We have a lot of that stuff.
Allie, with all that snow, you are so fortunate to have the gym in your building so you can exercise in spite of everything.
When I walked the dogs before breakfast I could already see some light in the sky. I'll be sorry to lose that next week when daylight savings time begins and it will be dark again in the morning.

Barbie - I honestly can't see why I would need the real estate paperwork for houses bought/sold years (or decades) ago. The recommendation is that you keep that type of paperwork forever. It seems like once the auditable period has passed, you shouldn't need it. However, it doesn't take that much space on a thumb drive in the fireproof box so I scanned it in to keep it all. I have copies on my hard drive, remote backup drive and a thumb drive in the fireproof box. Now I just have to remember to update the thumb drive when I scan additional items in

Wasted my morning looking on Amazon for a lampshade. I eventually found one, but Grrrrrrrrrr! I am the world champion procrastinator. :sad:
Going to have my blood pressure taken now.

So to flip that, I’m going into the gym early so I can feel strong and In charge

I'm facing a similar dental experience. I have had a root canal and crown on my back molar for over twenty years. Last set of x-rays showed a small cavity forming in that tooth. I now have to have the crown popped off, cavity filled and new crown put on. My dentist makes her own crowns there in her office so when you leave you are done. BUT it has to be it fitted a couple of times, then you wait while it's "baked" in the "oven" and finally it is put on permanently, LONG time in chair. I was supposed to go last week but her mother became very ill and she had to leave town, now my appointment is set for April 1. NOT looking forward to that. I hate dental visits, tho I do go every six months for clean and check.
Lisa, you get about the same weather as we do, as you're only a few hours drive East of us. We are 10 degrees with wind chill -7. Too cold for me. Glad I have my in-home exercise equipment. Take care if you have to be out and about

Barbara - I missed your birthday so happy belated. I too like to eat out, hubby is not a big fan of it. He much prefers to be at home than go out for anything other than work.
Machka - If your husband is not well enough to be answering her questions how is he considered well enough to be returning to work? I understand the WCB’s role in getting people back quickly but sometimes I think they try too hard and push too much.
Lisa - I would love a work from home job on snowy days. I am used to driving in winter roads but it’s the other drivers that worry me as well. My biggest pet peeve is the guys in their 4X4’s that drive too fast for the conditions, funnily enough it is more of those you see in the ditches than cars.
Okie - that must be freeing having all of that taken care of.
Barbie - my brother and sister in law spend a couple hours every weekend scanning and organizing pictures. They are putting them all on USB sticks and storing in a fire proof safe. He and I split our parents and grandparents albums. We should exchange at some point.
Sharon - I have been in Hinton a few times. I love Jasper and stay in Hinton when visiting there. I prefer Jasper to Banff as I feel it is more about nature and doesn’t have all of the tourist attractions. I hope I can get there one day this year, it’s been too long.
Homelessness is a big issue in Edmonton as well. Rents are so high and so many have lost jobs since 2014. I truthfully don’t feel it has ever fully picked up since 2009. I read an article that most people are only about 3 pay cheque’s away from being homeless. In the cold weather we recently have the city opens up the transit stations to allow some to seek shelter when all the shelters are full. My husband works in the parks in the summer and the needles and trash are a real issue.
I managed to read all of the posts for the weekend but didn’t get a chance to comment on everything.

Soooo cold here and windy. Trying to decide if I should venture out to my balance class. One of my golfing and bridge friends died last week and I went to her celebration of life yesterday. She had passed out and was careflighted to a major hospital where they did a cath lab and decided to do something the n ext day. She died that night. Such a shock to everyone and her dh kept saying”she wasn’t suppose to die”. So sad..
Suzu- we have a special person on this thread who has a big boot to give you a swift kick when you go astray. Call on Pip to bring her boot. Lol
Stay warm and keep busy. Guess I will go to my class.

I have been busy doing home office cleanup projects. I have scanned and shredded all of our old tax returns, and by all I mean going back to when we got married 30+ years ago. I also scanned in and shredded all of the house paperwork to go with the different house purchases and sells. Dad's estate and my Uncle's estate paperwork was all gone through and scanned/shredded too. I had paperwork related to a house we rented in Houston almost 30 years ago (it was in a file box in the top of the closet), needless to say I just shredded it. All told I have (so far) 6-55 gallon barrel trash bags and 3 kitchen trash bags full of shredded papers. I also sorted and filed in pressboard folders jewelry receipts with a space to put the appraisals in when I finally get them done....something else I am procrastinating on. It's amazing how much more room I have in the office closet now. The next step is to get the empty storage boxes out to the shop to use there and reorganize the drawers in the office and the office closet. I might work on it today....we'll see. My butt is a little tired of sitting in the office chair I have been in it so much for the past week.
Okie in the TX Hill Country (where it is freezing, literally, for a change)
I still have my very first Income Tax Return from 1967, the year I graduated High School and went to work for an attorney. I was still 17. I think I'm going to have to pay for a shredding service to come as my little shredder just cannot handle our daunting task of old paperwork.

I would like to join your group. I have been putting my weight loss goal on the back burner for too long. Now that I am in my 50s I have come to the point that I don't want to carry this heavy physical load. I have been able through the grace of God to make it here and would like to have some support from others who share similar struggles and are meeting their individual goals daily. Accountability is the key for me.4

Wila: Welcome!3

Michele: Thank you for your kind thoughts. I’m glad that your bone density meds are working well. While I’m sitting upright after my bone density meds I visit with this group. The half an hour flies by.
Barbara: We haven’t seen a big influx of homeless here in our little town. They seem to congregate under bridges in Portland. That city has created homes in old buildings and also warming facilities, that seem to be well used from my outsider’s pov. Even so, they have people in sleeping bags under overpasses and bridges. We have local people with mental and physical challenges here, and as the county seat we are the logical place for a project to serve county residents. A non-profit group is building a project that will include housing and social services. Their clients have special needs of various kinds & are already residents of our county. They come from the surrounding countryside & various little towns here. The shipping crate homes that have been proposed will be aimed at first time home buyers and/or retirees. They’ll buy the home and pay a lease fee to the city for use of publicly owned land under their homes. As far as I know, no construction has been done thus far on the shipping crate idea.
Machka: You are amazing, in my opinion. I’m sorry the county social worker is such a nuisance. :grumble:
Allie: I am so happy that you don’t have to snow blow driveways and shovel off a deck any more. You deserve your new, better life.
Wila: Welcome to a great group!
DH has a doctor’s appointment today with our local doctor and will be going by himself while I go to yoga. He has an appointment with his MS doctor tomorrow and I plan to go along.

Hello, Everyone. I'm new to this board, and have only been using MFP for a few weeks (DH and I are losing together). We came to MFP via the Wharton Medical Clinic in Hamilton (Ontario). I am taking Saxenda in conjunction with using MFP (he's not). I am down 8 lbs since February 22nd and very happy for the great start.
I have been overweight pretty much my entire life. I even had gastric bypass in 2011, but "fell off the wagon, dragged it into the woods, set fire to it and made S'mores" ... in other words, I let myself slip (horrifically) and gained back about 80 lbs. My goal is to lose about 100 lbs and keep it off. It's still early days on the Saxenda, so I can't comment on its ability just yet. No major side effects either. I think taking it at night before bedtime helps with that - I sleep through them all.
I look forward to taking part in this board. Keep warm! Spring's not very far away.4 -
Hi, Wila! Welcome!
Hi, BellaB1363, also a GBS survivor/slipologist, whatever you'd like to call us. Quite a few Canadians here, as well. I had my GBS in 2005, put back on 80 pounds over the next 12 or 13 years, and have lost nearly 40 of it since joining MFP and this group. I tried Contrave, but couldn't deal with the side effects, too scary. Hopefully you'll have better luck with your meds. Tell us what name you'd like us to call you, it really does help keep things sorted out, and having a place to put with it helps, as well.
Just checking in at lunch... back to my doings...
Love y'all,

Y’all know I am the queen of decluttering and organizing, but this is one thing I just cannot let go of. I have every one of ours from 1975 to the present, filed in order by year. All but the last 7 are in a huge hanging file box in the attic. The last 7 are in a smaller file box in our office, My kids will just have to make a bonfire when Dave and I are gone,
