I’ve lost my newsfeed tonight. And still can’t post photos on Community!!!
What is it with MFP and their ‘Updates’!!!2 -
Kim--Hugs and prayers. Vent all you want we are here for you.
Pip--Hugs
Heather--What great memories your DH and DGS share.
Tracey--Sending hugs and so sorry for your loss.
Kate UK--Did I understand your post right, DH had a bad reaction to the second vaccination? My DH did also (2 days after) and he is still having problems. Had to cut back to part time at work and he gets so tired he can't do much of anything. Been to every kind of doctor and they all say long haul covid and who knows how long it will last. What did your DH have to do?
Got up to 92 here yesterday, then the wind picked up again and today we are 43. Could sure use some rain.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE
Vicki DH got no joy from GP he is only now 1 year later feeling a bit more normal. Still gets very tired, just has to exert himself a little and then rests. He was having problems with muscle pain and walking, he had a few falls as well. He is 81 but before he was fairly fit and healthy. Hope your DH begins to feel better soon.
Kate UK ❤️

Worked then got to the gym and did an extreme strength DVD. Nothing planned for tomorrow except work and then ceramics at night
Drizzling today. It was NOT supposed to rain. There go our plans to cut the grass (weeds) and take the covers off the pool
I get our honey from down the road. You can see the beehives in their backyard. Can’t get much more local than that. And I know that there aren’t any additives.
So far (yes, it’s only been two days) I’ve been pretty good about not eating in the evening. Remember, that was my Lenten sacrifice? Only it didn’t happen for all of Lent so I’m going to try it just for Holy Week
Was going to bring my sourdough starter back to life and for the first time ever the scale would only go up to a certain number (weight). If I added more liquid nothing happened. I called Oxo and to my surprise it was under warranty and they’re sending me a new scale in about a week. We tried changing the batteries, it was never stored on its side or with anything on top of it. Guess I can’t start bringing it back to life until next week
Wednesday here: worked today. I was asked to work one day/weekend since the gal who does the prep is leaving. At first I asked to do Sundays but then realized that I would have to do extra prep and would get out late and probably won’t make it to the soup kitchen so I asked if instead I could do Saturdays. Really, they’d prefer Saturdays and I really feel blessed that I can afford to buy my lunch. There are too many people who can’t. They had no problem with the change. So it looks like I’ll be there on Saturdays, too. Wonder how long this will last????? Now one of the assistant managers said that she liked my prep. Now was she just saying that to butter me up? Anyway, I wonder how long I’ll be doing this?
Kim – regarding Tim and Okie’s thoughts that he thinks he’s getting something. Or what if he hopes to get something?
Carol GA – so glad you’re feeling better
Evelyn – so sorry about your neighbor
After work we cut the grass (weeds) then I went to Aldi. They didn’t have certain things so I went to WalMart. Now I have to go to the other WalMart since that one didn’t have the meat that I wanted. I can’t believe the prices of things!!! Up and Up and Up. You know, when the $15/hr minimum wage was first introduced, I thought it was a very dumb idea. Now I’m starting to think that you need to earn $15/hour just to eat!!!
Tracey – HUGS

since it’s predicted to rain so I’ll probably go to the gym. I was going to go Friday, but I won’t since it’s supposed to be nice – nice enough to get the pool covers off.3 -

Heather - I have a friend that I take in small doses too. I love her, but she can be overwhelming at times.
Great picture of your grandchildren.
Beth - there are times I wish I rented and had a landlord to call. Repairs are so costly.
I hope you are able to get your parents moved. Here I know that governments will make exceptions to healthcare costs when it involves getting the elderly closer to family.
Michele - I don’t know what’s going to happen to people. The cost of living is getting so high.
We finally did it! I think all of the payroll system issue has been corrected. I need to call to make two small changes and then it’s done.
My brother received his red seal diesel mechanics license last week and has been so happy about it. This week he has been posting on FB posts that made me think he was angry at someone. I asked him tonight if he was ok. He had asked his current boss for a 1.00 raise since he’s now fully licensed. They had told him a year or two ago he would get compensated accordingly when he received it. Anyway, they didn’t answer him one way or the other. So he updated his resume and applied for two jobs. He was hired in the spot for the second one as the shop foreman and is getting $3 more per hour. He wants to go for his heavy duty and agricultural mechanic next. He has to have 3600 hours to do so. I am so proud of him. He turned 50 in February.
I regret not going back to school in 2017 when I found myself unemployed. I was too scared not having a job though and didn’t know how I would survive.
I need to get through tomorrow and then I have 4 glorious days off. I have no plans and am very excited for it. I may just be a lump this weekend.

Hugs, light and love to you all dear friends. Sorry I have been MIA for most of this month. I got waaaay behind and finally today sat down and read the last 16 pages of this thread. As I read about everyone's challenges and stress, I sent out prayers, energy and strength to help you day by day.
Kim: I know that Tim's assistance is a godsend now, but hope you will keep your radar on. Heather is right about the kind of people your brother likely attracted or hung out with. Why should he care when your mother moves? That's a family decision, and you are well in your rights to tell him so.
How much are you willing to let Tim handle? When/how should he retreat back to his normal life. As for your anger...well justified. You lost your family once when they abandoned you, and now that your brother and mom are approaching their final transitions, my heart hurts for you. 💔
Betsy and SueinWA: You have been in my thoughts daily. I am a little over month away from Bruce's one year anniversary. It went so quickly. Just when I think I have all the paperwork sewn up, there is something, like taxes, that pops up. Gah!
Lisa: Sorry about your VA issues. However, you do sound like you are feeling better even without the Rx.
At the end of March I visited my sister and her family in San Diego. She is 82 and doesn't travel anymore. Has a beautiful car, but doesn't even enjoy driving. We saw the immersive Van Gogh, and she was very welcoming of my high school friend, Andi, who came over for a visit. I hadn't seen my friend since graduation 48 years ago. She is coming to visit me in Denver this June. My sister and I are very much alike with our taste in food, and she took great pleasure over a small box of gourmet chocolates made to pair with red wine. We indulged a bit every night while watching a couple episodes of Schitt's Creek. Simple fun.
I started pickleball bootcamp last week on a particularly cold and gusty day. We were on outdoor courts and it was so difficult tracking a little plastic ball that literally hung in the air. I fell lunging for a forehand, and skinned my knees. Otherwise, I did enjoy it and have been out to practice again before our next lesson tomorrow.
Work has me covering a wide variety of events, which I absolutely love. This week started with an arena rock concert (Journey/Toto), and will end with a musical (Jersey Boys) on Easter Sunday. I've attended BoogieT and Subtronics -- that was an interesting crowd. I am looking forward to Saturday for a show by Guatemalan singer Ricardo Arjona. I do love Spanish love songs. And I am working at the Ballet Masterworks performance on Friday. Never boring, not terribly stressful and truly fun.
My lady friends from the travel group also have a luncheon scheduled on Saturday so we can begin discussion about where we would like to go next year. I already have my personal trips scheduled for New Jersey (August), Montana (September) and Hawaii (November). All these trips will put me in places where I have friends which makes it even sweeter.
As always, stay well. We can do this.

Well, my newsfeed appears to be working again. But what about the other bugs every time MFP updates?
It’s the blind leading the blind!!! Programmers keeping themselves in jobs with constant updates which cause more problems than they fix.
If it ain’t broke, leave it be!4 -

Did MFP update recently?
I've seen no changes or announcements.

If you use the website, you may not be having the problems others are having.
The app is being constantly ‘fixed’. Unfortunately, the fixes often create more bugs.
There have been two recent updates, (supposedly bug fixes) one 8 days ago, and another yesterday, presumably to fix the widespread loss of newsfeeds, and problems with food diary entries that folk were complaining about this week. Yesterday’s update hasn’t fixed all the problems.
I only know about them because I have been having to reinstall the app repeatedly over the last 10 days, and it notes the last update on the app store.
This morning it took me over 45 minutes to get the app to load.
And yes I have reported my concerns, repeatedly.
Minor First world problems, I know.
Technology can be incredibly useful, but it can also be a *kitten* at times, when it goes wrong.1 -
We have had hummingbirds living nearby for many years. One of our neighbors decided to cut back the blackberry bramble where the hummingbirds lived. I miss the little birds. I hope they’ll find a new home nearby. We have been feeding the little birds for many years. I hope they continue to visit our sugar water feeders.6

I thought I used the app on my phone but maybe it's the website.
Just checked and yes, I use the app on my phone. Last update 30 March 2022. App Version 22.6.1. To be used on Android OS 9 and up. I have Android OS version 11.
