    Hi All - can someone tell me how to reply to a specific post that someone makes - if I am reading posts that people added say 1 or 2 days ago? I know that I can send them a message which I think is private, but if I just want to put in a reply that everyone can see, is there a way of doing this?
    Thanks 😊
    I am a bit of an IT idiot!

    Hi Sarah.

    @ginnytez - My knee is driving me crazy today. I haven’t taken Alleve in months. I thought everything was a lot better due to my weight loss. Apparently my knee doesn’t like the cooler weather as much as the rest of me does!!

    shOtzz99, sometimes adulting is damn near impossible at 76 for me. I have 12 grandkids, all but 3 of whom are 20 or older now. I never cease to be amazed at the variety of adults that have come from my loins, so to speak, and by other methods. I have blended families, families with adoptions, families with steps, halfs, sortas, and wanderers in and out of the mix. If you hang around long enough to eat a few meals and sleep over a few nights at all my daughters’ homes, you end up being there for major holidays and celebrate birthdays, share hand-me-downs or ups, and you magically become family, sort of like the Velveteen rabbit became “real” because he was loved. Sounds like you have the knack of opening your heart to let folks in, for sure.

    Clair from Texas, sometimes the best way to manage a situation is to be away from it for a while. I don’t visit friends often who have alcohol involved at every get together. And I try to come up with things to do that involve no alcohol and either healthy or not over abundant food, things like a “Summer Salads, Summer Not” potluck and movie night I hosted in out clubhouse. I provided greens and told folks to bring whatever they thought a salad wasn’t complete without. I also provided mostly healthy and/or diet dressings. It was fun, and I could pick and choose the add-ins for my salad. Don’t be afraid to choose an independent direction while you cement new habits.

    Barbie AHMOD, have a very happy anniversary. I don’t know what I’d do without your level-headed thoughts on the many topics we wouch on. I lived in the East Bay Area from 1969 to 1971. How I loved that place! Tilden Oark was my wonderland.

    Rho, what a great story. Over the years, knowing many, MANY people, and knowing most of them QUITE well, I’ve found that “normal families”, as we used to think of them when “Father Knows Best”, Leave It To Beaver” and all the rest of the family sit coms were the only fare on tv, are only half, or perhaps less than that, of the families I’ve known. While it’s true that I’ve lived in the West Coast for 52 years, I keep in close touch with my school mates from Ohio. The odds there are probably 60-40% in favor of the traditional norm, but then, the ones who differ from that may not be on the message boards for classmates for any number of reasons. Bullying, or fear of it, is at least one reason I can think of. I think a great number of the world’s problems would be helped by getting out there and talking to folks as we do here. This thread has always, to my knowledge, been inclusive and nonjudgmental. Thsnks, gals, for keeping it that way!

    That sounds interesting! Have you found some good pieces?

    I'm interested in aquamarine jewellery and have browsed through some of our local antique shops looking at their pieces. One day I might buy some. But there are some fascinating pieces of all different sorts!

    Am finishing the book “Dewey”. This is a great book for any cat lover. I was crying at the end, Vince said “if that’s what that book does to you, I definitely don’t want to read it”. It’s sad how he came to be at the library and sad at the end.

    My mother loaned that book to me during one of our Canada visits a few years ago ... I liked it. :)

    Janet OKC - Matthew is adorable!

    Connie in KY – I have some arthritis in my hands that is bothersome at times, but I think working and using the keyboard and needlepoint actually helps that. My hips were replaced due to arthritis. My knee xrays a couple of years ago actually looked pretty good, but who knows. I have had problems with the tendon getting inflamed off and on for a couple of years. Was going to discuss with doc at last visit but it wasn’t bothering me then. Am hoping ice and massage and stretches helps. Mainly want to go to pt to make sure stretches etc. are ok movements for replaced hips. While they function very well want to make sure I am sensible.

    Heather – your birthday celebration was awesome. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

    Sharon near Seattle – families don’t much fit the traditional mode any more. Mine has become fairly diverse also with steps children, different races, etc. My mother, who was in her mid 80’s at the time, once said (after listing the diversity in her brood of 4 children, 13 grandchildren and 29 great grand-children), “Who would have ever thought I would have such a diverse family?” She said it with pride and amazement. She didn’t know what a step grand-child was-once they came to the family they were hers! I’m glad I had such a role model.

    Allie - make sure you take care of yourself now. I have been with three people close to me when they passed (SIL, mother, husband). While it is exhausting it was the right thing to do. Looking back I am amazed I had the energy to make it through. With each of them I also had signs afterwards they were at peace.

    Finishing up morning icing session, then church. Choir is back to singing at second service so I will stay for the anthem at second (comes fairly early in service), then duck out. Get to visit with people.

    Hope everyone has/is having a good day.

    I've been taking a little break from uni stuff this weekend.

    Extra sleep.
    A bit more exercise.
    Spending a little time outside ... my husband gave me a tour of our garden today. :)

    And working on things for my cycling club: mainly advertising. I'll need to finish this tomorrow, but when it's done, I won't have much to do with it for the rest of the year. Basically, I'm posting the year's events up on FB and will have to touch up some stuff on the club website tomorrow. There might be slight adjustments as we get closer to events, but that's about it.

    Managed to walk 5.3 miles this evening with no stopping at all and in my best ever time. Apparently I am not a fan of walking in the cold and this motivated me to move faster. First freeze warning of the season here, brrrr, I am definitely not ready.

    :) I know it will get a lot colder where you live than where I live, but I've had to get out some of my warmer clothing and begin reminding myself of all the extra stuff I'll need as winter comes upon us. I walk every day no matter what the weather so I've had to do a lot of creative outfit planning to make it possible.
