Feb 2 feel good: “practice fairness by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes” Doubt many opportunities today, will save this for Monday’s firehouse check in or Wednesday’s board meeting
Welcome @kite16509 ! Wow, you’ve been through a lot. Many here don’t do the friend thing but support each other on this thread. You’ll be surprised how many can relate.
Welcome @ccoash14! Great attitude!
@susandoll16 well done! Would you let us know what you’d like to be called and your general locale?
Heather glorious sunset indeed, well set off by gorgeous grands! Brava for that gracious email. Avalanches, shovels and detours, truth this.
Katla ((hugs)) Joe and I were missing our Scooter this morning, remembering how worried he’d get whenever we took his collar
Rebecca (and Vicki) fasting from online games is something I need to try.
Michele, that calculator had me back to BMI 27 but said building muscle is more important than losing pounds for improving my longevity
Annie the “funny now” salted marmalade story made me smile. There is a middle eastern delicacy called salted lemons, but I’ve never mustered the courage to try it.
Kylia finding solutions while not responding or complaining? Bravissima!
Pip would you remind me what causes Lucy’s feet to bleed? Nail bed, pads or ???
Lanette “Little Debbies” LOL!
Rita does your husband not drive?
Rebecca could you and your chief ever splurge on a vacation to a warm and sunny nature camp?
Debbie great bargains at Loew’s Well done!

Hopefully by sporting new booties, this will solve the problem. She adjusted amazingly quick! These come highly rated and are supposed to stay on. We will see in tomorrows walk. Oh and they were on sale!

Karen - many thanks! Wow, very comprehensive! Ovarian cancer stands out for sure.
Now add ultra processed foods and cognitive decline into the mix. This was also a hot topic yesterday.

Thank you, Karen and Lanette ... both of these articles confirm common sense. (Did we really think that replacing natural foods with artificial ones would be good for us??) So now I have to ask: can we reverse the damage created by years of eating UPF? While I do better now that I know better, there were years of unhealthy, ultra-processed foods.

Beth - Good question! I've wondered the same thing.
I've decided I'm going to do what I can to rebuild my immune system - Tim Spector covers it nicely talking about our micro biome, he has at least one Ted talk and he's been on popular podcasts. Eating ferments, the 30 different plants per week, etc. And of course there's his book "The Diet Myth."
Another strategy on my list is eating more foods that stimulate anti-cancer properties, help protect DNA, activate stem cells. Dr. William Li covers it well with food lists in his book "Eat to Beat Disease" which I've mentioned before. He has analyzed actual research to support his ideas - there's a big bibliography at the end of the book.
Here's a presentation he did last year:
Dr. Li is a huge fan of green tea, kiwi, pomegranates, literally hundreds of foods that keep us healthy and have anti-cancer properties. I like his idea of including more beneficial foods in our diet and eventually crowding out processed foods. No cold turkey stuff, just health building.
And research supports time restricted eating to stimulate autophagy which helps clean out cellular damage created by Little Debbie's in my case.

A large portion of my husband's and my diet is fresh fruit and fresh or frozen vegetables. Some of the fruit and vegetables come from our garden.

I had a really great ride on Henry the horse today. He did everything I asked which usually means I asked properly. Except stay on the rail, but he always needs help with that.
On the other hand I weighed myself and my current spurt of exercise did me no good. So I ate three servings of chocolate. Now I'm in remorse mode, and I don't have enough calories left to fit my mango shake. Oh well, there will be days like this.

Auntiebk - the bleeding is not from her paw pads but her nails. It’s like our nail beds on our fingers. The difference is if you don’t trim their nails (walking on concrete/cement/black top naturally trims the nails) the nail bed will grow with the nail. Since mom didn’t take them for walks or regularly trimmed their nails, the nails were going down with our walks but the nail beds are still long so then they will start to bleed. Before I got them she had them bathed and had their nails trimmed but they can’t go as short as they should be because the nail bed is still too long. In time the quick (nail bed) will recede because I’m walking them every day. Thankfully I don’t have that issue with Chispa.

Good evening!
Dentist appointment was great! No cavities or broken teeth.
Work....let's just say working with family is always tricky. I did get all the equipment in the computer, all the invoices totalled, called all the deliveries for set up, called a couple to be picked up, and only have 2 estimates to figure tomorrow. Was productive! Left early to head to Cincinnati. Easier to be early as then traffic doesn't stress me out. Getting ready to go in and watch the dances. Walked 2000 steps while waiting. Still not 7000 today but that is okay. Grands are important!
Annie you made me laugh!❤
Ttfn,
Kylia

Did Cathe Xtrain Low Impact HIIT DVD then went to BK to peel and slice onions. I was asked to also do 5 tomatoes (up from 4). No big deal.
Soup kitchen tomorrow and then Vince talked about putting away the Christmas decorations.
AnneDE – My grandmother used to scrape the butter wrapper saying “we paid for that”. To this day, I can still hear her saying that and I scrape the wrappers of butter/cream cheese/whatever. Funny how these things stick with you.
Deb – I have used smaller plates, too. At least I don’t feel so bad cleaning my plate….lol Wish I could go for my walk, but its raining out. Just lightly raining, but still raining. You might not want to park a car at MIL’s. That’ll just give your hubby a reason to go there. Update: there was a break in the rain so I got to go for my walk
M – beautiful pictures
Jeanne – nice to see you again
Started to get things to take to florida. Not the refrigerated items, but shelf-stable ones (like cereal, Gatorade, soda, etc) Repacked the things that I’m taking
Running the dishwasher right now. Don’t want to do a load of laundry since we’re on a septic and the ground is somewhat saturated.

All caught up!
Beth, so sorry about all the Covid. Prayers that you all recover quickly and that your mom avoids it.
Karen, best wishes for your meeting with your son.
Still concentrating on protein goals. It’s going pretty good.
Dave has decided we need new mattresses. Ours are over 10 years old. He says more like 15. I can’t remember. The ones we have are some kind of memory foam. I like them, but I want to check out the hybrid ones. Any recommendations from y’all?3 -
did our dump run(with a free coupon so saved $43), did recycling run(made $84 in just aluminum cans) did a bunch of little errands.11 stops I think. Stopped at one place for lunch but looked at the menu-nothing I really wanted and didn't want to spend that much money on something I really didn't even want to try. Ended up going to Olive Garden- all you can eat salad and brought my ravioli home for lunch tomorrow.
Making seafood stuffed pasta for dinner. Leftovers I will take to mom's tomorrow
Will walk with Martha if it isn't too cold or rainy.
Already hit 6000 steps so far.

He already parks his pickup truck there and he is still going over there twice a day. I don't care how many times he goes over(except for when it screws up my plans ) as long as I don't have to go too.
Parking is tight around here and it looks better if there is a car in her carport or driveway(she has on on each side/corner lot) He has talked about selling his truck or the van but each are in great shape/runs really nice, paid for, and what we could get for them, he would rather just keep them for now. We have 5 vehicles for three drivers plus when ever son's girlfriend is here, add her car. Son drives the van to work or my car if I don't need it on days it rains because his truck isn't the safest in the rain. It is a great little truck, except for that.
Between the four houses(three together, with us in the middle and the one across the street which is on a corner) there are close to 20 cars!! It was fine when the house next to us was empty all those years or when Sophie was there and didn't have a car. Before the neighbor on the other side moved in, there was a widow on that side too. She drove but kept her car in her garage. Everyone else either has too much stuff to park in the garage(us and the one across the street) or they use that as entertainment spot(many houses on the block)

I visited DH tonight. We had a good visit and he is tucked in bed. A young women came in to help him get in bed. She’s a high school girl who is considering a nursing career. DH & I were both impressed with her. I suspect she will make good choices and do well. ⭐️4
