    Barbie: The “Imagine Your Story” shirt is great. :bigsmile:

    Rita: Congrats on your loss. :devil: :bigsmile:

    Pip: Wishing you & Kirby a safe journey! :heart:


    Barbara D: Welcome!!! :flowerforyou: You have found a great group of supportive women. Stop by often to give and get support. When I began, I let MFP set my starting calories. As I lost weight, my allowed calories were reduced by the program. It worked a miracle for me, and that miracle took its own sweet time. The support from this group has been a keystone for me. I hope you will be as happy with your longterm results as I have been.

    Lisa:

    I so remember ' The Perils of Pauline' at the Saturday Matinees as a child. The cliff-hangers meant we could barely wait to go back the next week to see how she was rescued. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Beth near Buffalo Faye... decrepit old woman needing special treatment or sexy vibrant senior who can kick that poor mannered boy's a**... you can't have it both ways!:D

    Well, you paint quite a contrast and leave me no choice but to chose the sexy vibrant senior status. That young man was about 6' 7" and I would guess about 220 with arms as big as my legs. Be that as it may, I can still administer a solid knee to crotch blow. I would once have said, "Your manners leave a bad reflection on your mama." In today's climate with never knowing who is Antifa or other anti-establishment gang-involved, I keep my mouth shut. I must apologize for being a whinner and expecting special treatment. I understand the young man used his hormones and not his brains. Besides, I take responsibility because I was not wearing my dentures and he no doubts missed my sexy vibrancy.

    Carol I am sorry I do not know exactly which day your birthday is, but I know it's this month, maybe even this week, and it's your 72nd birthday! Happy Birthday, dear friend!

    Barbara South Or beach babe Wow, you are at the other end of the spectrum in finding a good fit sports bra. Anyone less or over a C cup with bust over 34" isn't going to find a good fit in the small, medium, and large selection, especially in my beloved racerback. I like fixed compression bras with no padding. The only ones that come with sizing have cups and underwires or something to determine cup size. They look like lingerie instead of sportswear. You might try CARVE I think they have some special for DD. I wear their old bralette style (now extinct) in large with adjustable straps and it is perfect for my 36 A. Dreading the day I must get new bras.

    Yvonne in TX Yes, best to play it safe! The sad thing is around here all the business took it seriously and really did the extra including gyms, but places like Wal mart were really lax and now shut down for 2 days to clean the entire store after many store employees became sick. They affected all the small business that was just recovering after the first wave. I never went to gyms. I was always afraid of all the other diseases that gyms are famous for. I designed my workouts to be efficient without the use of any equipment. I have a compromised immune system, so even with vitamin and diet therapy, I am as careful as I can be. The shingles almost killed me so I don't mess around with viruses as so many can be deadly.

    Tonight I will pay dearly alas for my foolish superwoman act defeating tall grass.

    Today is National Coloring Book Day!

    Because I still love to color. "Coloring and coloring books have always been popular with children, but over the years, adults have gotten more and more involved with coloring. Obviously, adult coloring is now a huge trend. Many find that it is not only fun but also a great way to reduce stress. With so many colors and designs to choose from, coloring offers enjoyment in so many settings. They’re portable and come in a variety of sizes. Take coloring books on vacation with you for rainy days or to document a fun memory."

    Debbie - The folks at the water garden store got me all fixed up with an algaecide that is safe for the fish (gambusia). First I needed to run a cheap fountain for awhile to make sure the water was full oxygenated. Now I can apply the algaecide to get rid of the algae that's there now, and once that's done I have a bottle of maintenance solution that is supposed to help keep down the organic matter or "muck" that the algae feeds on. It's a very tiny pond - contained within a big iron cauldron - so it shouldn't take much solution to keep it happy. And of course I also came home with a new water lily!

    I want another weekend day - I'm not ready for Monday yet!

    -Yvonne in TX

    Thank you for the information- I will pass it on to my parents- Their pond is bigger now and about 3 feet deep and they have a fountain in it. They have the little fish in there- the mosquito fish I think they said they were.

    :) Another day of the simple life. Walked the dogs before breakfast, walked with the dogs and a friend after breakfast, walked mid morning with another friend, rode my exercise bike while watching the Mariners' baseball game with Jake. Did a few minor chores and spent some time on the computer with all my pals on MFP.

    :)Rebecca, you're the first person I've known who watches sumo wrestling a lot. I've seen it a bit and thought it was quite interesting.

    Sarah - I adore your shed/tiny house. I see you have a lavatory. I know a lot of people with amazing small spaces, but none of them have lavatories, or water. As I go to the loo every hour or so, that wouldn't work for me.
    Over here, if you have a working kitchen and bathroom you have to pay council tax as if it is a separate dwelling. That's what puts people off doing the extra work on their sheds.
    Congratulations on your beautiful new space! <3

    Julie Bananas, i have only been accosted twice. Neither time was it money they were after. One was 50 years ago and one forty. The first one I screamed my bloody lungs out and rolled over and over to break his grip on my wrist. Then ran like mad. The second time I backed from the side of the road into the road where cars picked me up in their headlights. I was whirling my heavy purse over my head and threatening to smack the guy into the middle of next week if he hurt my baby. I was about 7 months along. I wasn’t scared that time. Only furious.

    Rebecca! How appropriate! I find I’ve lost a newborn giraffe. Guess the zoo found it! Joining sumo fandom sounds like a blast!

    Evelyn, a vet told me never to get the dog sort for cats. It’s a different formula. One isn’t safe for the other, she said.

    Lisa in AR, interesting. My cat beat the beejezus out of the same sort of toy this afternoon, including lifting it with her front paws and throwing it back on the floor. Pretty violent for her. It wasn’t the Siamese (who’s 12# - 5.5kg), but my little Goldie the orange tabby girl. She’s half that size.

    2100k30, let us know what you’d like to be called and your general area, so we can sort of locate you in our minds. Welcome! Enjoy your visits!

    Sarah K, Your home is unjust so very cute! What’s the L and W - never mind the lift.

    Allie, You may need to do a forced reset of your bio clock. My husband had to do that once. It involves going to bed an hour later each day until you’re going to bed at the time you prefer, and not allowing yourself to get out of bed except for physical needs until at least 7 hours have passed. So tonight, bedtime at 7pm, not allowed up before 2am, sleep later if you prefer. Next night bed at 8pm, no getting up before 3am. I recall he was to keep the house a little cooler than normal and move around if he felt sleepy before bedtime. A short nap - ½ hr - was allowed if at least 4 hrs after getting up. He finally was able to go to bed and sleep when he should.

    Altruistic August
    3: treat everyone you interact with as though they were a friend: my impulse is to stay home and interact only with Joe and the dogs ;)

    When we first shutdown back in March, I would march down the street looking straight ahead with a neutral expression on my face ... but I quickly realised that it wouldn't hurt to smile at the people on the other side of the street. :) And when I did, everyone smiled at me! :)

    Please send good thoughts to my nephew and his family. A mass was just found covering parts of his lungs, heart and esophagus. He and his wife have 2 teen-aged sons, the youngest is 13. That’s how old my nephew was when his father was killed in a car crash. His mother was overwhelmed so the boys (13, 14 and 16) came to live with us for a few years. :heartbreak::cry: :brokenheart:
