Has anyone heard from Trucker? She hasn't visited in a long time.
Carol in GA3 -
Thanks everyone for the tips. Will try the garlic salt with lunch. I LOVE Penzey's. Open my cupboard doors and there it is. I only cook for me so I try to get the small sizes but have a few large ones.
Disappointed with myself this morning-weighed in at 175.6 where I weighed 173 on Mon. This has been a stressful week. DIL ended up in hosp. so Thur. was messed up as I got the call to watch the kids at 4:40 a.m. They never got home till 9 p.m. BUT the kids had supper and showers and homework was done! Now to get thru this weekend.
See you next week.

(((Rori))): One day at a time is the best any of us can do.
Karen in VA: The noise cancelling doggy home/bed is brilliant! Thanks for sharing. I sent my doctor a message last night regarding the colonoscopy situation but haven’t looked for her reply yet. It is still a bit too early to expect a response.
Amber: Thanks for the link!
I checked and the fitness club I belong to is scheduled to be open this morning. I am planning to go to yoga today. It is a bit early to hear from my doctor after I sent her the message that I woul prefer NOT to have a colonoscopy at this time. Being in a hospital is asking for health risk in my opinion.

Found some fun parenting videos today fun to watch how different things are in different aspects.
Single Mom for over a week: the Lady now has super respect for what us Single/former single Moms went through. Think she did a very great job at this she even lived off 1/4th her normal income to equal what most single moms live off of. She learned working Mom who’s Single deserve an award 🥇.

The dogs and I are home from our morning walk in the daylight. Tomorrow we go back to walking in the dark for few weeks. My pedometer recorded almost 11,000 steps.
Marianne, you are deserving of high praise for being there for your daughter and grandkids. That is hard work and hard stress even for the kindest person. Do not be discouraged. You are doing good things and the weight will come off in time.

Thanks Barbie. I just added garlic salt to my bowl of corn chowder and it was DELICIOUS!!! Going to put that on the recipe card instead of throwing it out. Just finished organizing the gifts that have to be wrapped for next Sat. Maybe I'll get the pantry done today and then the fridge.

Not feeling the best this morning. I have a nasty headache. After the fender bender at the grocery store I had a serving of DH’s whisky after being alcohol free for months. Bad plan. Then I had to call the paramedics for him due to an extreme blood sugar low. They gave him intravenous sugar that brought his blood sugar up to normal levels. That was scary and stressful! Now I have a crabby tummy and headache. :ohwell: The good news is DH is doing fine this morning. As for me, I'm feeling a bit foolish this morning. I shouldn't violate my own best rules.
Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon9 -
Morning all. What a difference a good night's rest makes! Feeling better, though my wrists hurt a bit still.
My sister and I are going to plan a gathering in June to celebrate a great number of milestones: 1 sibling retires, 1 sibling turns 60, my daughter graduates college, 1 niece graduates college, 1 niece graduates H.S.---if that isn't a reason to have a gathering nothing is! I am in charge of the cake and the invites, my DOS is in charge of finding a hall and a caterer, we both agreed it would be a joyful thing to put together.
Don't forget to spring forward for much of US tonight we set the clocks one hour forward, I am so grateful that Spring truly is around the corner.

Katla- hope you don’t have whiplash. Sometimes you don’t feel it awhile. Rest all you can.Doesnt sound like you can much tho. Hope your hubby gets better too.

Marianne Maybe some bell pepper?3

Katla - So sorry for your crappy day, but it happens to the best of us. We ALL make mistakes. Very glad your DH is ok. Scary stuff. Do you know how it happened? We live and learn. Sort of.
Making green salmon curry. Bit of a riff. It tastes ok, I think.
Son texted me for Bea to come for a 1 to 1 tomorrow. 12 - 4 . She has been asking about it, so I'm very happy for her. Very fussy eater.

"Get to do"s and "chose well"sChose well: T’ai Chi, massage, bank, line dance.
Bonus: ROKJ practice x 1
Get to do: invest 10 mins cleaning Office, carry over 10 mins cleaning Master & Guest Bds, board meeting minutes, dog group, bake something for JoeFreddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, follow up with Doug for iCloud for Win10. Reward: inventory seeds, plan garden, order replenishments.
Raining at last! Dare we hope to be able to burn some of the brush piles? Would be willing to sacrifice pack walk for that, especially since today they meet down my the “treatment plant” :sick:
Heather your bacon/sausage/cabbage does sound Yummo… hmm, have a cabbage and some ham… can I be inspired? 2 lbs in 2 weeks, leaving a bit more margin in CI/CO, yes. It’s having a productive effect here, but its early days so won’t post the results until they stick awhile “ate it with a spoon” nope have to have veggies or flat bread with mine. Now if you were talking lemon curd…
Viv self-service drive-in COVID19 test? SMH. Happy for you, for our broken healthcare system.
SuziQ when I worked in IT, re-keying was against my religion. It’s a constant battle with corporations to integrate/simplify/consolidate systems and streamline processes. Corporate thought they could use “the software right out of the box…and did not listen…” boy does that sound familiar. Reminds me of why I retired. Best o’ luck to you and your teams. your retirement travel plans. Can you do one a year until you retire? Thanks for the brown sugar recipe, will do when current stock is depleted. Organic dark brown sugar is so hard to find, and spendy when you do. Chatting with a friend yesterday about the news, and both said “Walter Cronkite” at the same time. Journalism used to be a noble profession, at least to some.
Kylia Hope you got DH out for that park walk!
Pip now that is a happy 453!
Karen in VA what a blessing that noise cancelling kennel could be for the shelters. Could save many terrified dogs’ lives.
Welcome back Kath in UK!
Margaret Love the ‘…scrub until there’s bubbles’ song, is the tune the Left, left, left right left military marching tune? Never thought of that downside to air driers, will put some paper towels in my pocket for those situations. Found the preparedness mama’s website with recipe for home made wipes, will try those too, and love her alternatives to paper towels for all but the wipes… gonna see if we can change our evil ways, even a little.
Amber thanks so much for the home made hand sanitizer link! Already have ingredients in stock. your hubby’s response to cabin fever. Give him a pat on the back from me!
Luci B I’ve heard that a little protein snack can tame those insane “everything I can’t have” craving. A half ounce of raw almonds before I go into Freddie’s keeps me from obsessing about those sweets… usually
Allie you’re right, that SHOULD tell the DDS something. Hope he’s able to change his ways with any new staff.
Michele “…stay an extra week next year” Great response! Fingers Xd for “even sooner”
Katla ((hugs)) what a rotten day! Glad its behind you. Hope something fun happens today to counteract.
Machka not depressing, a welcome reminder that COVD19 is about as close to being on the list as Pluto is to the earth.
Okie I wanted to see those Mickey ears on you! :laugh:
Marianne what about sour cream and green onions onto your corn chowder? Hope your DIL’s hospital issue was easily fixed.
Samand your coffee cup jerked a laugh out from me!
Rita my jealousy of your lettuce and parsley just MIGHT get me out organizing seed starting stuff.
@GodMomKim r u ok?
DST know I’ve said it before, but I dislike the change intensely, takes me so long to adjust. Oregon has decided to “stick” with DST and not change back next fall, IF California and Washington do too, AND IF US congress allows it. I’d have preferred Standard Time (more light earlier in the morning) but will be thankful for the end of the semi annual adjustment.
This has been a lovely, leisurely breakfast time. Thankful for all you dear ladies and your tips, tricks and humor. Would miss you all if our internet went down for any significant time. Time to be up and about. Will we burn? Or pack walk? Changes from moment to moment.
Lighter, lovelies!

Would love to hear the salmon curry recipe, a friend was telling me about it today, then I come on here and the talk is of salmon, must check the freezer I’m sure I have some.
Kath uk2 -
Barbara - Don't forget the sauerkraut!
One of the reasons I moved out of the bedroom and into the spare room was not only feeling awake, but also the 'wind'.
Wouldn't want to be in the same room as me. I'm sure all that gut bacteria is good for me.
The green fish curry was pronounced 'absolutely delicious ' by DH. He can tolerate some heat, but not a lot. Pleased I judged it just right. I took a lot of trouble over it, but it was fabulous! I actually cooked it in the IP, but not under pressure. Salmon at the very last minute.
DH watching England v Wales rugby for the 6 Nations.

DST ~ What I dislike most about it is having to change the clock in my car. I can never remember how to do it and have to hunt for the manual.

I am so glad to find you folks. I live alone, and have put on forty pounds in the last 5 years... I can be active, and I can be disciplined, up until 8 at night - LOL! So glad to start fresh, and find you folks to make this journey with me SO my goals are...
Steps - 12,500 5 days of the week
Track every morsel every day...
Stay in the caloric green 4 days a week?
Rowing; Increase from 10-20 minutes 4 days a week
Drink 1.5 L per day (and log that too)
My real goal is not to binge after 8... that's the tough one for me, but I'll try...
I found I was really finding it difficult and lonely doing this on my own, so looking forward to this community to help me grow in a positive way metaphorically and in a negative way literally!6
