    Kate – what do you do to relax your sciatic nerve? Love the knitting

    Barbara – I’m interested in sugar right now. When you say “sugar in vs mfp” what exactly do you mean?

    Barbie – whichever dog you get will be one lucky pooch, that’s for sure

    M – happy anniversary. What a breathtaking place! I love your necklace and earrings

    Allie – add me to the list of everyone wishing you a great trip and looking forward to hearing all about it

    Rita (((HUG)))

    Rosa – welcome! This is a fast moving thread that’s for sure. Be prepared :)

    Waiting on Vince to go for a walk. I don’t want to get him out of the habit.

    How do you bookmark a particular section? I use the app on my laptop and cannot find any link on the page to bookmark with. Thank you

    There is a flag beside the title at the top of the page. Click it and it turns blue and the page is added to your bookmarks.

    Lisa: That’s an interesting article. I find making lists clears the mind and helps me focus.

    I was planning a me day, as DH was going birdwatching with one of his pals. He just got a phone call from said friend who was up sick all night. The outing is cancelled, so am rethinking my day. Not the end of the world, just a minor distraction 😝

    Welcome @deejoan. After you bookmark the thread:8tu6r02vp9hj.jpg , click your profile pic and "Bookmarks" will list those you’ve saved.
    Kate so good to see you posting again, despite the rough year. Hope your PT gave you some warm ups to do before the stretching to make it less painful. :cry:
    Ginny “when [the legs] feel better I slide on exercises” and “My slide times are shorter now because I know it works.” Ditto. Daily-ish PT exercises keep me walking and dancing.
    Annie your father’s negative C-19 test, what a relief!
    Machka your eucalyptus flavored honey sounds like just the ticket for sweetening winter teas.
    Lisa have a care. I was immune to poison oak until I was 13, then boy oh boy did I get a horrible reaction, internal swelling, the whole shebang. Poison oak, mosquitoes and wasps, whatever was the Creator thinking? Thanks for the Aging Fears article. Good way to evict those peace of mind thieves.
    Heather :love: Johnny’s latest.
    Debbie brava for not standing and listening to the rants. Self care and good example.
    Lanette that Direct Care clinic sounds wonderful.
    Michele hooray for Vince’s “surprise” ;)
    Today’s (8/23) gratitude: Lone Ranch Beach only ten minutes’ drive away.

    Fuel: sugar in vs mfp=8, CI<CO net=592
    Live: Joe, readings, BP, AF, AD. reconcile checking, savings, visa, visit DS, return K’s call. Wt: 131.8 08/22: Move:ZERO sets PT stroll with T. Steps:8691

    Live: Joe, readings, BP, AF, AD . casserole-a-thon. Wt: 131.2

    Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD x8zcp1ya37k1.gif

    Ladies - I started this post about hours ago, then this cute guy came to my house and I also watched a great Dhru Purohit video - The ROOT CAUSES Of Allergies, Why They Get WORSE & How To Get Rid Of Them | Dr. Elroy Vojdani. That title is kind of a misnomer - it's more about gut health and repair than allergies per se, but does tell about the pros and cons of both blood and prick allergy tests.

    This was a long video presentation, over 2 hours, but shed a lot of light on the symptoms I wanted to talk to Dr. Matt (the Naturopath I'm seeing this Monday) about after I eat sometimes - stuffy nose, flushing, bloating, joint pain. So good timing. Dr. Matt had the "Shake the Sugar" program last September that some of us signed up for.

    In the video, Dr. Vojdani talks about leaky gut, how it was "discovered", how to repair. Too much to go into here, but if anyone has a couple hours to spare, this might be an interesting way to spend them. He talks about IBS and other bowel issues too. How RA is often linked with mouth bacteria/tooth infections after extractions, and other autoimmune conditions. This is on my re-watch list.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMB3VX0w3M8

    Rosa - Welcome, sounds like you have good docs to help you with your autoimmune symptoms. Hope you start to heal. I don't know if I could do anything real restrictive. Maybe for a few weeks. :D

    Oh, that cute guy came to do the yearly service on my heat pump! :p He looked like a teenager but was probably 30, lol. Helped insert a paper filter into the Honeywell air cleaner (I can finally put those metal filters aside, cumbersome to wash and hard for me to remove and replace in the unit) and gave me good tips on how to set the thermostat now that I plan to NOT use the woodstove much.

    Carol - hope that squirrel leaves and doesn't come back. Caffeine is my drug of choice. I could probably cut back if I had to, but eliminating would be hard for me.

    Lisa -great article, good reminder that our older years aren't necessarily all gloom and doom.

    Machka - great photos of you and your DH, very elegant. You both look like you are in your 40's.
    That venue was beautiful.

    Rita - gosh, a lot going on for you. Sending HUGS - hope it's a temporary thing that got those tests out of kilter, like your super hot weather, and things calm back down soon. Sending good thoughts your way.

    Annie - that meal sounded wonderful. Glad you were able to get away for a bit.

    Michele - thank you for the freezing sweet corn info. I don't eat a lot of it, but the hens like to clean off the cobs for a treat.

    Pip - where are you and Kirby going to take new Bette on her maiden voyage?

    Kate - you have been busy with your knitting needles. What special little critters, they are simply awesome. Well done. They would make cherished keepsake gifts. <3

    Barbie - any news on the possible canine addition? I am SO excited for you. :)

    Allie - Bon Voyage!

    Chicken news - Gladys gave me another double yolker this morning. Three days in a row now. That girl needs to slow it down, take a few days off. She's always starved it seems so I put out more feed just for her. <3 I feed her, she feeds me.

    Welcome all new ladies! Glad to see you jumping in. <3 More I want to comment on but need to get moving. A chilly 47F at my house this morning, it's now edging up to the mid-80's, which is tolerable.

    I’ll type more when I get home, it will b here where we r now. Pismo beach

    Machka, so sorry about your bees. Do they get mites and viruses and such?

    Annie in Delaware

    They won't get Varroa mites because we don't have Varroa mites in Tasmania ... yet. Hopefully never.

    But there are other diseases they can get.

    It appeared like there was a bit of mould in the hive, which suggests it has been a while since the queen laid eggs.

    The medical appointments for my sister are over until September 9. The immunotherapy she has been taking has caused secondary adrenal Insufficiency and hypothyroidism. The steroids cause her sleep/wake cycles to be totally out of whack. On Sunday she said she feels she is on borrowed time. We talked. I told her that really we all are on borrowed time and just have to make the most of each day. She agreed and she lives that philosophy. She is amazing. My heart is heavy. I hope we have lots more time together.

    Betsy in NW WA

    I hope so too.

    Tracey, love your shirts! Yes I have been to NWT years ago. My Newfoundland trip starts from Cornerbrook and requires flying into Deer Lake Airport which is not that easy from Edmonton so I took the option of starting in Halifax and taking the ferry over to Newfoundland. Was told it may be an overnight ferry trip and if so, we will have sleeping accommodations. Looking forward to seeing whales and puffins. Newfoundland has some stunning scenery and so much history.

    Off to Costco this morning so taking a break from my garden.

    Overcast....not sure if it's smoky or going to shower. Enjoy the day, ladies.

    I hope you enjoy your trip!

    I've been to all the provinces except the maritime provinces. And I've been to NWT. :) One day I'd like to get to the parts where I have not been!

    The last thing was on the tides and the sea and how it is affected by the moon. Cindy from Pensacola.

    I've learned some of that over the past decade of living in Tasmania, with tides nearby.
