    For those of you who are interested in the whole ISTJ, ENFP, etc., personalities, https://www.16personalities.com/ is a free test, takes very little time, and I like it because it adds a 5th identity axis for turbulent vs. assertive, where I land on Assertive. I also like it because it's quite clear, like the discussion of empath vs. apath, that everything is a spectrum. I am a very definite introvert, but in the other personality traits, I tend to toward mid-range for each one. I am termed an "Assertive Logician," and that makes perfect sense to me. Please note, I have changed in the last ten years, from a "Turbulent Architect," because of the differences in my answers that moved me from Prospecting to Judging in my personality type, and from Turbulent to Assertive. Neither change surprises me, and both are analysts.

    :) There are lights like this in front of every house in my neighborhood. Houses are fairly close together. I carry a flashlight so walking in the dark either morning or evening is easy. There is almost no traffic, (may see 3-5 cars going 15mph in an hour's walk.

    :) I've read all the Richard Osman books followed a few weeks later by listening to the audio book

    :) New Balance shoes are what I wear. I've tried other brands and been disappointed

    It's my elder son's birthday today. I texted him this morning and got a reply. :D He is going to Warhammer, for gaming, in the daytime, with his men mates, and the pub afterwards. He is not a good communicator, but all is fine. As soon as I've got some money together, I will go up to see him in Nottingham.
    I'm used to seeing him on video blogs and podcasts, but it's not quite the same. He is how he is.

    Went to my meeting. Great deal of laughter and camaraderie. I really enjoyed it. So nice to meet with people of like mind. We talked about the Canadian system, and I was able to tell them about Tracey's problem with finding a GP.

    I went to the big pharmacy beforehand, and M&S afterwards. Got Edie's gluten free Millionaire Shortbread, and tonight's meal. Chunky Cod breadcrumbed fillets, prepared runner beans, and Pommes Dauphinous. The liqueur chocolates I bought for John last year were missing. :s
    Came back on the bus and now relaxing with a Pernod.

    Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Rebecca ~ Your jewelry tree is beautiful.

    Allie ~ I can feel the sadness of losing Homie. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet.

    Joy ~ I had to look up Christmas Pierogi. I think I remember Michelle mentioning making them. It was interesting to see the recipes.

    Meg ~ Glad to hear from you!

    My quest today has been to learn how to use the Kroger grocery app to clip coupons! Finally got it done...Whee!

    Thanks Carol, I need to state what everything means, for the next generation on a piece of paper and put on the back.💖

    Gina - that's an impressive treadmill workout. I haven't watched the video yet - I am guessing the treadmill is pre-programmed? Sounds like you had a good time on your vacation. :D

    I wish it was pre-programmed! I just follow along with the video. She tells you when to increase and decrease your speed and incline.

    Allie-So sorry about Homer. :heart:

    Annie-So sorry about your mom's diagnosis.

    Meg-Welcome back.

    Well, we thought the mister would be jobless starting tomorrow, but he's retained for the time being. I wish his company had had better leadership when it started up. They made so many bad decisions that trickled down to now and were so bad that the new, seemingly capable, CEO is struggling to save the company. Hopefully, they'll be back on their feet soon.

    Looking for suggestions. The mister bakes sourdough bread, but it often gets moldy within a few days. Putting it in the fridge makes it hard. What is the best way to store it on the counter for about a week? Linen bags, boxes, etc.?

    Lisa – fantastic roof

    Sorry, not commenting on too much. Got a lot on my mind right now

    Last night when we got home from bowling, saw an email from Bryan with pics of Leo. Ladies, you have no idea how much it hurts to know that I have a grandchild that I’ll never see, never hold, never kiss. And the other grandchild I can only see for about 3 days/year. My heart is just heavy right now. Guess I gotta go exercise some of this off.

    Vince wants to go outside to do some more decorating.

    Annie – HUG Go for that ride, it’ll help

    Michele NC

    Could you go see Leo?
    Could you go see PJ more often?

    Flea - My best friend's son took her to the Drag Brunch when she was visiting him and his partner in Las Vegas, and said she's seldom had more fun in her life. Hope moving the Xgeva to every six months will give you some relief.

    Beth - So good to see you posting again, as well as Kay... Did the siding get finished in time to beat the snow? Thank you (and thanks to everyone who commented) on the sunroom progress. I couldn't be more relieved that the roof is on - It's been raining for nine straight hours, and another eight to ten before it stops, so the timing could not have been better. Corey's talked me into postponing the insulation until the windows are in, which is at least another week, at least. It's this interesting sort of push/pull. He knows (as do I) that if the materials are in, he will get the work done. I think the man just wants a whole weekend off. :smiley: Can't blame him for that.

    Quiet afternoon - got the meatballs done and out of the oven for dinner... they're a little more oniony than I wanted, but will leave some of the onion out of the marinara, and it should all balance out. I need to get the sauce going soon to give it time to reduce a bit. Using one of the jars of fresh tomatoes Corey canned during the summer. That's a very happy thing for us both. I won't touch his salsa or canned jalapenos (because I like my eyeballs inside my head, thank you... :smiley: ) but he did a great job of canning some marinara this year... and a jalapeno honey jam that was good without being too spicy.

    Tina - wish I had an answer for you - we put all bread in the fridge, because everything molds here so quickly. I put mine in the microwave wrapped in paper or linen and it softens right up, but it won't keep that crispy/crunchy sourdough crust, I'm afraid.

    :) I finished knitting the red wool fingerless mittens and am delighted. I tweaked the pattern a bit to make them longer and roomier and they look and feel great. They are tedious to knit and need a lot of light, but I'll probably knit another pair soon so I have extras.

    :) I just posted the new thread for December. Here is the link;

    Lanette and Margaret ... Here is my yard Tuesday morning ... in total about 20 inches; 14 inches in a 6 hour period. The temperatures are rising, so it will be gone by next week.

    Annie ... my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hard days ahead...

    Meg ... Welcome Back!!

    Allie ... so sorry about Homer ... but what a grand life he lived!

    Rori and Tina ... sorry to hear that your friends have passed ...

    Rebecca ... the plushie ... of course it's a great gift. My husband is 65 and he's getting a stuffed "big foot" for Christmas for reasons I won't go into ...

    Lisa ... the sunroom is coming along fabulously!!

    Flea ... your husband's comments ... hugs ... just hugs

    I've been reading and reading, but haven't taken good notes. So I know I've missed lots ...

    Awe!!!😁💖. When I saw this big cute ramen bowl I was like he would love it! I hope when he looks at it, with the cute smiling faces on the egg, etc he will think of our pilgrimage to the ramen restaurant and how much fun we have doing that. Laughing and making yummy noises. This February we will go a couple times hopefully, and take his younger brother too. Although when I showed him a photo of their ramen bowls he said there were lots of things that looked weird. He would order it plain with soup and noodles, hopefully the pork pieces too. Those are the best part. He did say he loved gyoza so there is hope for him yet.😂💖

    (((Ginny))) (((Rori))) (((Allie))) (((Annie))) (((Rita))) (((Tracey)))
    My thoughts are with each one of you as you deal with your various life traumas. Time after time you have shown such strength and forebearance.

    Kelly: ” I have to keep reminding myself that only I know of my plans of everything I want to accomplish; SO...letting go of some of those things is okay.” 🥰 We could all take a leaf here.

    Hello! I finally found this group again. I looked many times but couldn't find it. I need to find a way to mark it so I don't lose it again.

    This link will get you to December (there is a new link every month)

    At the top of the screen (across from the title) is a little thing that looks like a bookmark. When you click it-it will come up when you search for your bookmarks. I will have someone else better at explaining this jump in and give directions
