    Kate UK - I've done a very quick Google and, as far as I can tell, that looks very good. Almost too good! Smart scales are not all that reliable, but, if you are anywhere near those figures, they are very good. :D Do you weight train?

    Yes I do use weights but wonder how the 2 figures relate to each other. I don't take the results as gospel

    Kate oh I see it's lbs…and refers to "muscle mass". Sorry, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. That would be a lot of muscle even for a muscle-bound man.

    :)Kenna, Where do you live? I live in NW WA where it rarely gets colder than 25 F but I walk my dogs every morning no matter what the weather. We walk for about 30 minutes before breakfast (about 5 AM) and 2 hours after breakfast (about 6:30 AM) and I seem to be colder than most people, so I wear all the warm clothing I need. Congrats to you for making a good choice to decrease your family stress. All your hobbies sound like great fun. I knit, dance, and walk dogs.

    :)Ellie, Welcome. You've jumped a lot of hurdles to get where you are today. Thanks for sharing your motivating statements. I lived close to my parents until their parents and I haven't regretted a moment of the time I spent with them.

    <3 Barbie in NW WA

    Tethered to pc for public records online training-all done. Trained but did not walk nor comb Tumble nor post firehall papers, did abstain from alcohol and cookies.
    Tuesday will comb Tumble, post firehall papers. If blustery will keep wine down to two glasses, if not windy will abstain and go to line dance practice instead. ;)

    Electrician was here for hours, swapping out chandelier (hooray no more flickering), ran separate circuit for the hot tub, added safety cover for nearby pump switch and blanked out non gfi socket too close to hot tub. Recommended we NOT use portable clamp light near hot tub but swap out adjustable flood light for porch light. Afraid the bill will be more than twice what I'd guesstimated, gonna have to tap some reserves to keep nose above water this year.

    Amber what a great story. You're right, infants hear, understand and even act more that adults imagine.
    Vickie we're expecting a big storm with historically (hurricane?) speed winds tomorrow. Expect to be without power and even cell phone. Looks like Tumble might finally get combed! Please choose safety when deciding whether or not to travel.
    Welcome Jessica in Seattle, Ellie, melking1969!
    Kenna I've always been fascinated by weaving. Would you share a pic of your loom?
    Rebecca sending thoughts and prayers for good resolution at Wednesday's appointment.
    Pip which peanutbutter filled bones? :noway: Poor Yogi!
    @LisaInAR where are you? Are you ok?

    Pc/laptop preferences: Have to prepare for end of Windows 7 in January. Dreading it. Mostly use laptop for email, research, writing, spreadsheets, mfp. OK with OpenOffice, prefer MSOffice pre-Office 365 (due cloud mistrust issues). MUST have keyboard.

    Any suggestions?

    Gratitudes Day
    #11 holiday: Christmas. The music, the lights, the scent of the Christmas tree, the story, the memories, the taste of egg nog, tom and jerry's, and oh yes... baking, smelling and eating the COOKIES!!!
    #10 taste: today its fresh ice water. After too much wine it really tastes good. ;)
    #9 place: our property, all 15 vertical acres of it, woods, ferns, creeks, mud, brush, critters, peeks at the ocean and the way it smells when I get out of the car. “Home!”
    #8 book: To Build a Land by Sally Watson. Read this children's novel when I was 9. It was about a group of Jewish orphans transported to Israel after WWII. Identifying with one of the characters sparked a life long interest in archeology, Hebrew and ultimatly spurred me to visit the holy land in 1980.
    #7 memory: at holidays Papa told stories about his younger days, during Prohibition and the Depression (but never about WWII). I could repeat them almost word for word but enjoyed them every time. That's one thing I miss about not having family left for holiday get togethers.
    # 6 nature: the forest's scent and the ocean's clamour
    # 5 sound: Joe snoring
    # 4 food: Fage Greek Yoghurt
    # 3 color: blue skies after a gray rainy foggy couple of days.
    # 2 tech: my Win 7 laptop. Dread migrating to something newer/supported.
    # 1 smell: clean, bleached whites while transferring from washer to dryer.
    Lighter, lovelies!

    Word for 2019: "GOOD" good attitude, good food, good times, good choices, good enough, feel good, GOOD! Word for November: get up and do it EVERY day!

    Still catching up, the electrician finally connected the washing machine, but there's still some work to do. I'll have to get in touch again to find out when he's going to finish it, he was supposed to finish everything on Friday, but there was a slight problem (isn't there always !!) and he said he'd have to come back to attach the oven hood and connect the dryer. There's also one socket to connect in the kitchen, one in the dining room that stopped working when he put the new fuse box in. He also need to take down an old kitchen fan that hasn't been used in years. Totally fed up with it and wish I hadn't bothered to be honest.

    My sister in law is having her biopsy this morning, so praying for good news. I hope she'll start on a treatment plan soon. I worry that the cancer is spreading the longer she is kept waiting.

    Love to all <3

    I am up in the middle of the night and furious with Apple. They shut off my phone! They say my phone is disabled—by them, and I can try again in 21 minutes. They wanted my to put in my password. I don't use one for my phone and don't plan to use one for my phone. Has this happened to any of you?

    The phone is back in service, for now. Thank goodness. I requested a chat with someone from apple and a name was given to me but no one actually responded. I'm not real happy with Apple service at the moment but I am happy that my phone is working again.

    We went through these 30 Days of Gratitude in November last year. I won't suggest that we do it again this year, but it is still something to keep in mind as we go into the holiday season. :)

    All right ... it's mid November and this will take us through to mid December ... just in time for Christmas!! :)

    Day 1 - November 15 - Smell: My sense of smell is limited and my husband no longer has a sense of smell (or taste) since his accident. However, I can catch a faint scent from the roses and freesias he has grown, which are all coming into bloom.

    I'm thankful that he has been able to garden and that we have so many lovely flowers and veggies growing and blooming. :)

    Day 2 - November 16 - Technology: My laptop, my phone, email, facebook ... the fact that technology exists! :) It's what I do ... it's what I learn ... it's how I communicate with family and friends.

    Day 3 - November 17 - Colour: Well ... I'm thankful for the bright colours on my table. Especially since this spring has been quite gloomy. They make me smile. :)

    Day 4 - November 18 - Food: I'm thankful for my weekday lunches ... chicken, rice and veg. :)

    Day 5 - November 19 - Sound: How applicable! I just got my laptop connected to my stereo!! I am appreciating the nice soothing music in the evenings. :)

    Day 6 - November 20 - Nature: All of it! I am very thankful that there is nature ... animals and plants, water, rocks, mountains, hills, all of it. I'm glad I live in a place where I can see and experience nature. I couldn't live in the middle of a large city. My ideal would be in a small town or right on the edge of a larger one so I could be surrounded by countryside in seconds.

    Day 7 - November 21 - Memory: I'm thankful for memory. I'm thankful that my husband has some of his memory - he's pretty good at past memories and procedural memories. I'm glad he didn't lose that. I'm also thankful that, with a bit of effort, I've been able to improve my memory a bit. I've discovered that if I focus and work at it, I can remember people's names at least some of the time! I've had to be my husband's memory.

    Day 8 - November 22 - Book: Most grateful ... the Bible. It's been a comfort to me, especially in recent times.

    Also grateful for books in general.

    The last 18 months I've switched to reading "children's" books. I've also found them comforting.

    Day 9 - November 23 - Place: I'm thankful for my bed!! Although I'm not there nearly as much as I'd like to be, my bed has become one of my favourite places to be. There I can lose myself in books or sleep. :heart:

    That said, I need to get a new pillow. Might have to see about doing that tomorrow if possible.

    Day 10 - November 24 - Taste! Well, there are only 4 of them: salt, sweet, bitter, sour, and I've written them in order of preference. :)

    I am thankful I have all 4 but I wish my husband did again.

    Day 11 - November 25 - Holiday: How appropriate ... one month before Christmas. :) Christmas is my favourite public holiday. I'm love the music, the decorations, the food, the Christmas Carol evenings, the lights, and the celebration of Jesus birth. I'm thankful that we have a Christmas holiday.

    As for holidays in general, I enjoy any opportunity to a) take time off work, and b) travel. I'm very thankful I live and work in Australia where I get quite a decent amount of holiday time. :)

    Day 12 - November 26 - Texture: Smooth. Since the measles (?) in 2016, I need to wear very smooth clothes. I've been thankful to find such things at a good price.

    And the soft texture of the fur of kitties. :)

    Day 12 - November 26

    I am most grateful for smooth textures both physical and in the arts. The feel of a rose petal against my cheek is one of my favorites.

    "Oh what a beautiful morning!" There wasn't a bright golden haze on the meadow; or a meadow, for that matter. BUT it is, a practically balmy, high 40s outside; and the stars are bright and plentiful in a clear sky. Walking today was an absolute delight! I had Orion to keep me company and passed quite a few other walkers and runners in the dark. All of us wearing our various kinds of lights, reflective gear, etc. Most grunting as they pass someone, while I was practically singing my good morning to them. lol
    Good morning all! Welcome newbies! Please feel free to visit often and jump in and comment on whatever moves you. Remember to sign your posts with what you would like us to call you. Also remember to book mark this page by clicking on the empty star on the same line as the title. At the end of the month, our fearless leader Barbie will post the link that will lead us into December. (Unbelievable that December is only a few days away!)
    I have met my walking challenge of 100 miles for this month! Whoot! So...anything I walk between tomorrow and the end of the month is bonus miles! If I continue to get my yoga and strength training in for the next couple of days, I will meet my goal of 24 hours of exercise in a month! Both of these are huge for me due to having to fit two hours of exercise into my already busy work day. Hopefully the scale will see the change. I know my clothes are fitting nicer!
    Amber- I am a firm believer that babies (like animals) can sense "good people". IF you can find that pic of you, you should post it.
    Yogi- So glad you are feeling better, young man! (in my best doggy voice:) "Who's a good boy?! Who's a good boy?! You are! Yes, you are!" (lots of virtual pats and ear scratches given ) <3
    Karen VA- A cranberry relish with peppers and lime and cilantro?! Sounds heavenly!
    Heather MILLIONAIRE'S SHORTBREAD?! How could I have never had this? Yummm!

    Gratitude #12- Texture: While I do like smooth at the end of the day (such as when I slide into nice clean sheets), during the day I love a nubbly texture under my hand. I have sensory books and toys for the kids and I absolutely love the nubbly/bumpy textured ones. I can feel the energy flowing into me when I run my hands over them. Good stuff!

    Love and hugs to you all! That is about all that I've got, today. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)
