    Machka - Yes indeed. That is it. :)<3 Good article.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    The article mentions procrastination ... I've come to the conclusion that when I'm procrastinating, I need a break. I need to take a day or two and do to do something completely different. Then I'm usually ready to get back at whatever it is again.

    Machka, Regardless of which page I am on, if I place a marker it will be posted as the very last item in the thread, so I will miss some posts if I'm not caught up. If I just quit reading without placing a marker, and don't scroll to the next page, when I log back on, it takes me to the page where I stopped reading. At least that's been my experience.

    Yes ... that's my experience too. That's why I don't understand the marker idea.

    Is this considered a marker?

    It's a post. :)

    Each comment here, whether it is words or a picture or a smilie/emoji or whatever, is a post in this thread.

    And no matter where you post it from within this thread (page 2, page 14, page 26, page 31, page 32, etc.), it will appear at the very end of the thread.

    That is, unless a couple people happen to post at the same time. Then yours might be second last in the thread.

    more unneccesary drama with stuff broken because of anger between dh and mil- Every time we think it is calm it comes out of no where. They both need major psych help.

    No walking today- really wanted to but it was too hot and when it cooled down, dh was home and wanted me to listen to him again-(so hard to not say I don't want to hear it) If I dont agree with him he gets mad at me.
    Tomorrow I will walk with my zumba friends around the wetlands for at least an hour.
    May walk MIL's dog but most likely not- she said she doesn't want either of us there, she doesn't need our help(but wants social worker to come and help her-)
    I will wait and see how she is tomorrow-
    Tomorrow is the daycare girls first day of school so I will pick her up at 12:30.

    Hope you all have a wonderful day/night

    It is good to get away and take a walk to clear your mind. Even better to have friends to walk with. Enjoy beautiful Napa. I used to live there many moons back :). Grew up fishing at Lake Berryessa. Beautiful! Have a great Wednesday!

    Thanks to whoever mentioned Get Fit with Rick. <3

    Had a look on you tube and found him, I've never heard of him before, anyway I've joined a 7 day challenge. It's mainly a walking challenge, but I think anything that can get me moving is a good thing right. :)o:)

    Just finished Day 1 workout a walky dancy routine but it gave me 2,000+ steps and it wasn't too difficult, no getting down on the floor :D (It's the getting up that's the problem!)

    Back to logging my food, but I'm trying not to put pressure on myself, if I miss a day it is what it is. I am hoping it will help me make better choices, as Michele said if you eat 3 bananas you have eaten 300 cals, so everything in moderation (especially the biscuits!)

    Must dash getting ready to see friends for a coffee. It is fine at the moment, but has rained all night, can't complain we certainly needed it. Still a drought on. I wonder if they would like to go for a walk instead?

    Take care and love to all

    Get fit with Rick is awesome. He offers a much needed break from all of the cardio i've been doing. Not to mention it is a fun and engaging workout. Have a happy Wednesday!

    Oh man, Lori, welcome! Our Chug is diabetic too! Apparently it's a pretty normal thing for Chihuahuas, we found out AFTER we rescued him. He doesn't seem to mind the vestulin. (unless it's a day when WE screw up and pinch him) Of course, he gets his little dab of peanut butter at the same time so I think that helps. LOL.

    I don't understand the marker thing either. I just try to read everything, every day and comment when I can. Sometimes it's a <3, sometimes it's a book! Today it's in between. Nothing much going on.

    Well, went to the last Rummikub that I HAVE to be at. I met the gal who is going to take it over and it seems that if she can’t find anyone to host, then she’ll have it at her house. Really, I wouldn’t want to have it at my house every month, but it’s up to her.

    Welcome Lori. Do you have to give Jax insulin? We had a cat who was diabetic. Really, when it was time for his insulin he, literally, would come to us as if to say “it’s time”. I do think he associated the insulin with feeling better. Now Jessica’s cat who was diabetic! That was another story. He wanted nothing to do with the insulin. Giving it to him was a real hassle.

    Anne DE – I know our vet has a month when it’s “Dental Month” and you get the dental work for a certain percentage off. You might ask your vet if they have something like that. As I recall, the month seemed to be February, but don’t quote me on that.

    Talked to the vp of Newcomers. Seems that the first month after Vince helped the treasurer, her reports were more what they wanted. Unfortunately, it hasn’t continued. Of course, we don’t want to hurt her by Vince jumping in and doing the job. Wish she’d ask for help. Oh well…..

    Worked. Vince is feeling “achey” so he’s not going to bowling. Honestly, you’d think HE was the one who didn’t like this league. This is the last time I go. Yeaaaa

    kamaphia – almost all my clothes come from a thrift store. That is, except pants because I need a petite size and they very rarely have petites. Hope Beau is better. Could it be arthritis? Hope your son gets better fast

    I admit that I did binge yesterday just thinking how great it will be not to HAVE to go to Rummikub.

    Ceramics tonight. If Vince doesn’t go, I will. They’re closed next week because the gal who runs it is going on vacation

    DH & I are currently in an apartment in an assistant living facility in Illinois. We are here while DH recovers from surgery following a heart attack. We are in Illinois because of our daughter’s efforts to help. We have a home and good friends in Oregon, and they are keeping watch on our home there.

    Hi Katla! how are you doing mentally and physically? What are you doing to stay busy? Any fun stuff? Glad to see you post!

    Back from dentist. Had to feed all the critters early this morning so I could get there on time. Just a cleaning, have to go for crown next month. DD's friend is still here, she leaves early tomorrow morning. She has to be at the airport by 4:30 am. We have a new neighbor to the east of us and they have invited everyone in the neighborhood to a party next Saturday afternoon. Could be fun.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    exermom -- I suspect that might be what is going on although his last x-rays didn't show any significant deterioration. I just hate to see him so miserable. The vet gave us a few pain pills last visit, so we might just need to get more (or different meds) for him. He's the happy-go-lucky dog (out of our 3), so I'm used to him being a ray of sunshine. Breaks my heart to see him in pain.

    1derland99: Those experiments look awesome. My husband would love to experiment with no carb options, but our son has nut allergies, so we try to avoid them in the house as much as possible. It really stinks because I'm a vegetarian and used nuts as protein a lot before he was diagnosed. But, once he heads off to college, we'll be able to start adding some back into our diet during the school year.

    Took my son today to the specialist to do a follow-up. Wanted to wait until Friday so it wouldn't impact his band camp, but they highly suggested that he be seen today when I called this morning so I panicked a little. But all is good. No surgery is needed. Just antibiotics and prescription strength ibuprofen/Tylenol regiment. So relieved.

    Tonight we are doing a band fundraiser at a local Noodle & Company restaurant. It's going to put me a little over my calories, but I'm not going to worry about it. I can't be perfect all the time anyway. I skipped the one last week at an ice cream shop, but I'm looking forward to some comfort carbs tonight.

    Lisa - our youngest daughter won’t eat any meat that she can see any veining, bones, etc in. I don’t know when she started this because she ate it when she lived at home.

    @exermom: I give Jax a small dose of insulin twice a day. I'm still getting used to it. I just adopted Jax ten days ago. He doesn't care for the shots, but he doesn't fight them either.

    @minicooper452: I'm glad Chug does well with his vestulin. My daughter gives Jax a treat when he gets his shot. When she goes back to school, I'll have to manage to give him his treat myself. He'll need to wait a few seconds between shot and treat.

    Thanks for being such a welcoming group!
