@laughingdakini1 I'm so sorry about the loss of your cat. Please don't be disappointed if you don't receive a lot of friend requests from the folks on this thread--many of us (not all, but many) tend to keep our communications limited to the thread itself. It's a long-standing communication link that is renewed and re-linked each month with a clean slate. I'm glad you are doing your best to stay healthy and well. Please do feel free to drop into any conversations that suit you, you'll be welcome.
Regards,

@laughingdakini1 Sorry for the loss of your fur baby.
Something had to give this morning. Opted to get in hot tub and put off walk. I am at 6k with just work. I did get my pile of paperwork cleared from my desk before work. Yay!
Headed to farm but wanted to share my Christmas cactus. Don't know why but they always bloom when I bring them in after summer.
Hugs!

Laughingdakini1 so sorry to hear about your cat.

Barbara ~ What a good husband you have! Taking you into the book store to purchase the dark chocolate you love was a wonderful gesture.
Allie ~ You are one of the most thoughtful and giving persons I have ever known. You go way out of your way to be there for your family and friends. I know that when you first went through your divorce, you were very worried about the money; but, you seem to spend freely for everyone now and you are a blessing.
Laughingdakini1 ~ So sorry about your cat's passing. It is so hard to lose one of our pets who are a part of our family. Please help us by ending your posts with a name we can easily remember and a general location.
Kylia ~ Beautiful cactus rose!
Heather ~ Enjoy your company.
Rainy Day in GA as the Big O would say!

Laughingdakini1-soory to hear of your cat's passing. Several of the ladies in the group have had their fur babies pass on, so they understand the pain.
Lisa-a bit jealous your Christmas shopping is done. Az kids sending me list. Will have a couple of small things for them to open when here next month (coming to see new baby!) and will ship some to their house for Christmas morning, Adult children may just get money. I am also paying for hotel for the wee they are here. Step kids will get money and grandsons will either send me list or gift cards (they are actually getting into them).
Kylia-enjoy the trip at the farm. Nice cactus.
Allie-you had a very stressful day yesterday. You didn't sleep overly well last night. You said your digestive system wasn't good earlier today. You got your RSV vaccine today. Not surprised that the combination has you feeling wiped out. Maybe just eat some crackers with peanut butter or some such if you don't feel like cooking just so you have something in your stomach,
Working my way down my list for the day. Need to get kitchen together. Made crock pot of turkey chili today. Dishwasher finished so I can put stuff away and fill it back up. Want to get everything in good shape. DIL is scheduled to be induced next Friday!
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

Today I made keto no sugar chocolate cupcakes, with low sugar chocolate frosting. They were really moist, and husband liked them.
Today is middle sons birthday, Athena's daddy. I hope he had a good day. I had brought down cookies so he already got my card and gift of those. Never know what to buy that kid.😁
Last night my Guam sailor asked if we'd buy a scooter part as he was having problems with the company liking his Guam debit card. It was $165 and son had it deposited in our account, before husband even got done ordering it. Technology amazes me sometimes. It is small so when we get it, I will add it to his Christmas box.😁. Putting brownies in as filler. Husband laughed saying only you would put brownies as packing material for a scooter part!

She's from Ireland and an expert on aging, has written a book that is only available in th UK from what I can tell. The interview is over 2 hours long so I'm broke it into chunks. I thought it was excellent and looked up the TILDA study at Trinity University in Dublin. If the rain keeps up I want to explore this further.
It's a pity all I can find on this are videos. I rarely watch videos on my computer and prefer to read an article because reading is much quicker, less time consuming.
Ah, this summary has a transcript.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TImU-RXalCA&ab_channel=PodcastSummaries
"Kenny recommends increasing physical activity each year rather than decreasing it she also advises against excessive sitting and emphasizes the importance of regular movement for maintaining overall Health and Longevity"
Absolutely!! Get up and move!
And of course, she lists the usual:
Exercise (as above)
Good Diet & smaller quantities
Quality Sleep
Social Activities
Reducing Stress.

So sorry about your cat.0 -
My Christmas shopping is pretty much done. I don't do much at all.
I will pick up a few bits and pieces over the next month. I usually like to get us a new ornament each year ... it's fun to browse among the choices in the stores to see what's new. I usually look for something related to a bicycle, cat or bee. And I might pick up another string of white lights ... the new ones in our patio area aren't very bright. Then maybe a couple gift cards and I'll be done!!

Went to Michaels because they had yarn on sale, b1 g1 50% off. I usually don’t like those kinds of sales, but I know that it won’t go any lower. Plus, I had a 25% off coupon. Then went to Kohls and got this reusable cup for the Keurig for Colby, these fire pit tools (last time we were at Jess’ they used a piece of wood to stir the embers in their firepit), and this Halloween thing that Vince doesn’t like. However, I didn’t realize that I had a $10 off coupon but I need to go back tonight since the coupon is only good for yesterday and today (I called and even with the receipt, I can’t bring it in tomorrow). So for $10 and to return the thing that Vince doesn’t like, I’ll go back after church tonight. Lector tonight.
Laughingdakini – I’m so very sorry about your loss. Our furbabies mean so much to us. Don’t be hurt if few people (or any) from here friend you. Most everyone just comes to this forum to be friends and for support. Join us! We’re always looking for more friends
Looks like its too late to go for my walk and it’ll be too dark by the time I get home from church. Have I told you all lately how much I hate this getting dark early stuff?????
Rebecca – brownies sound like good packing material to me. Like popcorn.
Listening to TSO on Sirius XM right now. It’s interesting because they tell more of the story than you get on the CD.
Painted the arms on my California Raisin bisque because I could since I have the black paint at home. Also made one of the towel toppers. Next I want to finish making up the bed in the back bedroom and get the christmas presents I have already bought for people down from the shelf in the closet to see what more I have to buy.
Went to Kohl’s for the coupon only the item isn’t included in the sale. Kohl’s does this a lot, gives coupons or marks things down and in little tiny print they list all the exclusions, and there are a lot of them. Oh well, I returned the item that Vince didn’t like. Going to go to WalMart tomorrow and I’ll buy gas.
Since no work the plan is to do the Abs Diet Workout DVD. Haven’t done that one in a long, long time. I’ll see how it is – maybe it’ll get donated.

Ginny - I'm not sure my impatience with Christmas shopping is always received well, but the best thing about being this age and pretty much the only grandma in sight, is I just tell them that's the way it is. However, even after threatening him with Kleenex as a Christmas gift, I absolutely could NOT get my oldest grandson to give me an idea of what he wanted, so I've gone back to finishing the afghan that I started for him a couple years ago. I should be able to get it done in time to get it out to him by December 1st. I wonder if I can find a Kleenex box big enough to put it in?
The first two wall section studs are up on the sunroom, and I only had to bandage up one ricochet from the nail gun, because it hit a knot in the board and hit the edge of one of Corey's fingers. He's relaxing with a good book in the bathtub, and I'm watching Netflix. I gave in and got a month of it so we can watch the Great British Baking Show. The final should be shown here on December 1, so no spoilers!
Time to get back to my crochet... I've got a deadline!
Love y'all,

Jake loves his new washer and dryer. It seems as though he does a load of laundry every day thus giving me something to fold and put away. We are using the same laundry detergent we used before but the laundry smells better in the new machines. We think the old set was the original machines from when the house was first sold as a manufactured house in 1983. No wonder the new ones are so much better.

This morning, we went to a meeting of our bee club. First time in a little while! It was a short get together this time, but we did find out that we may be getting a small swarm of bees later this week.
We think a small swarm has moved into one of our hives, so this new one would go into the other hive. But we will need to have a look at our hives to see what is actually going on!
Me and our hives ... from last season.
