WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MAY 2020

Karen VA:Thanks for all the great info. I feel for those people with underlying conditions which necessitate intervention. My younger daughter has thyroid issues which impact her progress, so I have great sympathy for those who need help.

Lisa in AR wrote "Heather, JanetR – I think it’s finally time I own that one, too. I’m thinking that “unmanageable” may be the new term for “uppity women.”

I like it. For years and years my family has told me I'm the "most stubborn person they know" and yet they all fall in line with what they are told to do and then complain about having to do whatever to whomever will listen.

I very much like unmanageable, it saves me a lot of irritation.

Barbie- yes I have taken care of faith many many times..no It really isnt because of Jean,but she does try and take advantage where she can..it is summertime and I want to be able to have time to do things and hang with my friends.and not get pictures of her out on the boat or at the cottage or at the beach.
It hurts ... i understand she works hard during the week and needs a break. And i love Faith and love taking care of her ..the job started out weds,thursday and Saterday 8-4 and thats great..but I dont want to be here every Friday and Saturday and most of Sunday every weekend through the summer.
I dont know how long Faith has and I will do what i need to do to keep her safe and fed..
Ive known Jean a long time. And she can be a bully.. so I try and work through Sean and not her..

Viv UK: We have a glorious morning here, too. Leah is a cute dog.

Barbara: My favorite thing about Freddies was the bulk foods section. They closed it due to the corona virus. When that is restored, I’ll go back there to shop. Two of our good friends use their shopping service and pick up their grocery orders outside the store. Both have health problems and a need to avoid the germs of other people. Our local IGA also has this service available. I prefer to shop in person.

M in OZ: You have more ambition to do well than most people I know. I admire your dedication and perseverance.

Barbie: We are carnivores. We grill meats on our BBQ. We used to grill sweet corn and kabobs, too, but DH’s digestive system will no longer tolerate them. I miss the sweet corn. :ohwell:


I am hoping to take the old BBQ to the recycle station today. We started power washing the deck yesterday & it would be a pleasant task to finish that today. The weather is starting out to be lovely.

Today’s COVID-19 Dashboard for our county shows a total of 16 positive, no deaths, 1426 negative and 15 recovered. The I-5 corridor from Portland to Salem has had the highest number of cases in our state. :flowerforyou:

We have had no new cases overnight in b and h. The other day we had a jump of 7, so I'm glad to see it go back down.

Had a nice Zoom with my old school friends - 'the girls'. The internet was a bit slow, so there was a bit of freezing, but we all managed to say something. It is good to keep in touch. Plus I had a reply email from another old yoga friend, so I am blessed.

I've been writing about my first 'love' when I was 14. Made me a bit nostalgic. I contacted him just out of curiosity about fifteen years ago through Friends Reunited and it was very strange. We talked on the phone as he was in Australia and it was clear that he was much more in love with me than I had realised. He even sent me a love poem by email. I terminated the connection in the end as it felt uncomfortable. He had turned into some sort of hermit who had turned his back on most people including his son. That I would not have predicted, but we were both severely damaged people.

Roasted Mediterranean vegetables with feta tonight. AF red.
Having an AF beer right now.

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Lemons 🍋 the price depends on where you live.I live near the boarder of Mexico y Daughter in California near the border so 10c a piece to 20c depending on if it’s a lime or lemon 🍋 to it’s size. My Cousin who live on the outskirts of NY said her price is way extremely higher. Location,state taxes,price if gas to transport lots of stuff determine the prices per state y city. I find the country side is cheaper than the city even.

I also found the packets of Togo tuna $1 each is here but no chicken versions like in NY so my cousin sends me what I can’t get here in store

...

Kate UK It's been a few days since you've posted. I am guessing your husband's brother (do I have that right?) is terminal or passed now and you are busy with that. Thinking of you.

Hugs to all, (a few pages behind), thinking of Rori and Kate and Lisa particularly!

Karen in Virginia

Did a 30 Minutes to Fitness Cardio Quick Fix DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Functional Intensity Training DVD

Allie – when my father was very sick, we had a lady living with him. If anyone wants to know what an angel looks like, I’ll send you her picture. She even washed his walls! She was from Poland, and while I really couldn’t communicate with her, my father had no problem. How I wish I’d been taught Polish, but I understand why it wasn’t spoken to me.

It’s spritzing on and off today and there is an 80% chance of rain, so we won’t be doing anything outside. I went to Publix, then Aldi, then stopped at Food Lion. Came home and pitted the cherries I got at Aldi, made rice in the IP to freeze, made noodles and butter for Vince, want to make a spinach feta pie (that’s why I had to go to Publix, that’s about the only place I can get the spinach). Also made some of the purple potatoes I bought so I can have them later in the week

Evelyn – today on the radio I hear about the “quarantine 19”

Barbara – hey, washing and drying the skirt is a great idea! I’ll have to remember to take it to the condo where the dryer is a gas dryer (we have electric) so it’s hotter. A tapestry needle has a larger opening unlike a needle threader. You can put yarn into it much easier. I also think they’re much more durable.

Read on the internet (don’t know how true this is, but I guess it’s worth a try) that vinegar will take the color out of hair. I suspect it won’t take it all, it’ll probably just lighten the dyed hair. So I bought some vinegar today at Aldi. We’ll see what happens

You know, it’s interesting, all of these confirmed cases. Death from other diseases has really dropped off. Well, that’s because the more they can attribute to C-19, the more federal funding they get. So things that may not have been c-19 related are being determined to be.

I talked to a friend of mine in OH. She said that their Y just opened, no group classes, only for weights and machines. Interestingly, if you need to use the bathroom, you need to find someone to open it. They don’t want to pay someone to be there if someone might use it so that they can clean afterwards. Where is the personal responsibility? Can’t we clean the toilet seat before we use it? No locker rooms.

M – why would you rather go for your PhD in Canada?
