I'm in
This would be the first time in all the years on MFP that I'd see other members, which would be so cool! What do you use for messenger chat. Does MFP have a video messaging service?
Hi @Susanna527 I have an iPad and I'll just go in about ten til 7 and start a video chat and send you guys the link. It's just Messenger video, that's all I know. I used it a lot for my virtual piano lessons when I was teaching. Perhaps I should use Zoom since there will be multiple people logging in...this might be trial and error...unless there are a couple of people on Thurs night who could help me test the two and see which is better?? If we can get the hang of it, perhaps we could do it once a month or every other month...might be fun.

Hi Jessica - I can help you test it out. I'm free most evenings. You can PM me with the details and let me know the time - you are EDT, correct? Have a great day! I hope others can join in on Friday night - it would be great to actually get to meet! 1 -

No weigh in this week- I have no scale as I'm on vacation1 -
@jessicakrall8 I'm happy to join the meeting on Friday
Sorry I haven't been on much this week, busy father's day on Sunday. I ate too much unhealthy food and had too many cocktails. Monday was rough, so was Tuesday morning actually. This getting old stuff stinks =(
Has anyone traveled to Jamaica much? I'm thinking of going there for my 40th. I typically do southern vacations to Mexico or Florida.1 -

Welcome to all the new members. At the start of the new month, we’ll introduce ourselves in more detail but feel free to share a little about yourself and the kind of support that motivates you.
I’ve been a bit quieter than usual this week because I’ve been helping my adult son get settled in at my mother’s house (his grandmother’s house) in Boston, where he’s working for the summer before returning to his college campus in the Fall.
I’m also taking care of my sister’s house and garden while she’s traveling with her family to celebrate her daughter’s high school graduation. She does a lot for my mother, who is not very mobile and needs some health support. So, I’m filling in to care for my mother and also my father-in-law, who has dementia. Tonight, I’m staying at his house because my brother-in-law is traveling and the siblings each rotate care. My husband was here last week and I think our flights crossed in the air. I’m not complaining because I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing — and it’s great to spend time with everyone — but I’ve been so busy!! I’ll look forward to catching up with you all soon.5 -

Good morning Shape Shifters and welcome to the new members. I hope everyone is doing well.
I managed to drag myself out of bed by 5:35 on Tuesday morning and I left home around 6 to go for a walk. The sun did some nutty things. It was stupid beautiful outside for like 30 minutes straight. I could have literally taken a picture for every step I walked and they would have all been amazing. I also saw a white rainbow/fog bow for the first time in my life. It was pretty faint, but I was sure something was up with the clouds so I actually googled 'white rainbow' when I got home. Then discovered it was acually a thing! Super neat. I also took some video during my walk, and in this one you can pretty clearly see the start and end of the bow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY18LdS7XiM There are a few more short videos you can check out on my channel of the walk if you feel like it.
Yesterday was a pretty lazy day. I didn't have much energy and it was very warm. I did go to the thrift store to buy a new foodbowl for Tinus and I also found a cheap 500 piece jigsaw that seemed like fun. Hopefully it is complete.
A lot of pictures under the spoiler. Happy Thursday everyone

Thank you for all the warm welcomes everyone!! I'm so happy to be here!2 -
@pupowl You should be selling those pictures online my friend...I think you're a famous photographer just hiding out so your fans won't bug you! LOL Loved the video too...wish we lived closer, I'd walk with ya!!! Apologies to you for getting behind in recording your steps. I'll be honest, I get so happy to click on your SPOILER to see the pictures, that I forget you always start your posts with your steps! Forgive me, I just love your pictures!!
