    Michelle It is called Field Day extra Virgin Olive Oil cooking spray I got it on sale at a local chain here in Minnesota. When I have used it up I hope I can find it again. I cooked some mushrooms for lunch. It uses air pressure to make the spray. Says no propellants, no chorofluorocarbons on the label.

    Debbie - “Tactical wees”. I’m going to use that the next time I’m out with hubby. It will give him a good laugh.


    Tracey in Edmonton

    Her other phrase on the show is she needs a "bush wee"
    Have had to do a few of those before-thankfully there were no people anywhere around.

    – the one thing I don’t like about audio books is that you can’t go back and relisten to a fact

    Michele NC

    :) when I get audiobooks from the library (hoopla or Libby) they have a 15 second rewind tab also one that will go back to the beginning of the chapter

    Gratitudes:
    01/06- Joe volunteering to start the wood fire without me even asking.
    01/05- ginger ale. :sick:
    01/04- that the tubular incandescent bulbs are still available for my desk lamp.
    Up to 132.7 this morning, could be the sugar in the ginger ale, the sodium in the consommé, the peanut brittle and two pieces of See’s chocolates. . .
    Lanette Thanks for the links (Dr Hong’s walking and brain size, PT Ed DeBoo’s 5 exercises, and Dr. Matt. Pleased and reassured I’m already doing most of the exercises and meeting that low bar walking goal. Now to squeeze in those scapular retractions and (ugh) bridges . .. :laugh:
    Tina good luck finding a gyn who’s been through menopause. IMHO just finding a female gyn would be better than what you’ve had. As for the foot pain, a good PT might have better ideas than that podiatrist… just sayin’ ((hugs))
    Sue great “therapeutic yoga” suggestion to Tina. Worked with a certified yoga therapist years ago and she was very helpful.
    Evelyn Raspberries in January in BC? One of my favorite garden books is “Strawberries in Novenber” outlining the various micro climates in the San Francisco Bay Area.
    Pip (hugs) I had a heckuva time finding our marriage license, turned out it was filed in the county where Joe worked when he got it, not in the county where we were married.
    Ginny good for you for investing the researching time. Your cookware has a big influence on what you eat ;) “Peaceful walk in the snow” best thing about snow ;)
    Michele, yes the treats do work to minimize the pulling, but as you learned, the effect fades when the treats are gone… ;) Wish you could find an Aqua Zumba class, I loved it. Alas there are none here.
    Pip ((hugs)) “Pulled muscle”? Yow! Hope he continues to rest and not make it worse.
    Machka :love: the NY resolutions meme especially the whole second row.
    Welcome @mysoulisskinny and bravissima for 18 minutes!
    Beth like you I’m going to eat from the pantry (and the freezer) for the next few weeks, at least. Hoping to only buy fresh veggies and dairy at least through January, maybe longer. Might have to get creative figuring out how to use some of the bits and bobs in the freezer. . . :laugh: Thanks for the bladder info.
    Rita rejoicing at the good news from your renal MD, and brava to you for the record keeping AND taking the initiative on the kidney diet.
    Vicki really hope your heart doctor has some good suggestions, that’s a crazy high heart rate.
    Debbie “tactical wee” Love this.
    Barbie great news about Jake. ((hugs)) “pee-caution” a real water snorter.
    Simone that is quite a fireplace. Hope you weren’t badly hurt, falls are such shocks.
    Tracy ((hugs)) hope your foot pain eases and the payment shows up soon.
    Lisa Egg and Corey and wet seaweed LOLROTFLMAO.
    Terri so sorry for your losses. Hard time of year. ((hugs))
    Allie seeing that pic of Carmine hugging sMiles made me tear up Happy birthday indeed. ((hugs))
    Reading I love to read, alas to the exclusion of everything else, attending to Joe and the dogs, housework, exercise, etc etc etc. So have to limit reading to just before sleep. Can’t listen to audible books while driving, my concentration shifts to the story and away from the road. Same thing happens if I’m trying to practice a new line dance in my head while driving. Bad idea. Will have to try audibles while doing exercise snacks…
    Dog group got rained out so time for Jeopardy walking, maybe with a little backwards walking snack. . .
    1/5: Move: ZERO sets PT, Azalea Park stroll with D. Steps:7937
    Fuel: sugar in vs mfp=-55, CI<CO net=189, vits=1

    I hope this is going on the correct thread. I have been off and on MFP for awhile. I'm 51yo and 280.
    I feel I am finally able to take control of my life. New place, new start. Do I want to lose weight? Yes. But I want to be healthier and live longer. Looking to make life long friends to help stay on track.
    Ga girl.

    :) Welcome. We are glad you are here. We were all new on this journey and kept coming back. I hope you will tell us more about yourself and join some of the conversations.

    Simone my reading goal for last year was 12 books. I read 52!😳 This year my goal is 20 but have already finished 2 that I had started last year (lol!). I read just about anything. I belong to Prime First Reads and get 1 book a month free (sometimes more like this month) and pick books by their name and cover, so I’ve gotten mystery, romance (I don’t particularly like these- all the same really) Sci-Fi, horror (Think Stephen King), thrillers (think Koontz) biographies, almost anything! Do you belong to the Goodread app? They have book giveaways that authors do, both Kindle and Hardcover. Last year I won 3 Kindle and 1 hardcover from them. I believe it is good to read all sorts of stuff to widen my horizons! LOL Friend me on here (kevrit) with and I will tell you how to friend me and we can compete reading!

    Anyone else interested in free books and a book challenge? Just PM me and we can all connect!

    I was on Goodreads all of last year and made my goal of 24 books in their challenge, but saw nothing of free giveaways or anything like that.


    Machka in Oz

    Goodreads sends emails with the link to the giveaways. They always have choices of books to choose in many different catagories. If you don’t like the book they offer, just don’t register. You need to follow the link they send you in the email then “read” their terms and choose an address to send the book too (unless of course it is a digital book). I will look see where they have me email to send these offers and post here.

    It seems I used my email as my user name and have it linked to my Amazon account. This must be why they send me the giveaways.

    RVRita


    I just get ... "You've finished "this book", what's next?" emails with suggestions.

    But I don't have it linked to my Amazon account. Amazon Australia can be rather limited and if I want more variety, I can get stuff from North America or wherever, but then I pay a lot in shipping.

    Well, now the comment window came up! Before, I could only "ask a question." Anywho, my name is Luanne, and I am hopeful in joining your community. I have recently (18 months) moved to a small mountain community (altitude 5700, pop 3700) from the beach (pop 125,000) quite a change. Still getting used to it. I am an early retired teacher due to my DHs Cancer diagnosis.

    What is this BBCode they keep asking me to include?

    BBCodes are entirely optional. "You can use BBCode in your post." if you want ... but you don't have to.

    BBCodes provide bold, italics, colour, etc.

    [ b ] bold [ / b ] without the spaces is bold
    [ i ] italics [ / i ] without the spaces is italics
    [ color = red ] red [ / color ] without the spaces is red colour
    [ color = #67BD4A ] a colour identified with a hex number[ / color ] without the spaces is another colour

    You can find the hex numbers for colours here: https://www.color-hex.com/

    The plan for tomorrow is to do a Denise Austin Power Zone DVD. Then I’ll probably go for a walk and then to Aldi

    Allie – I’m so so happy that Carmine came to sMiles party. I especially loved that pic of Carmine hugging sMiles. Can you thank Karen by calling her or something? So nice that there are honest people in this world

    Just came back from my walk. Got dinner ready and will go out to help Vince put things away in a few.

    Rita – most of my Corelleware looks like new, too. But there are a few pieces that I picked up at a thrift store since my pattern has been discontinued for years. I guess I just need to make a paste of baking soda and leave it on the outside of the dish. Baking soda is what I used inside the dish.

    Barbie – thanks, I’ll have to check that out. Maybe I do and I never knew it! (Hope so)

    Put away most of the blowmolds from Christmas. Gawd, I do like blowmolds.

    Rosemarie – good luck with the car. I know you’ll make the right choice

    Gagirl – WB

    Rori – great to see you. That video looks very interesting. Need to bookmark it

    luann – welcome. I’m so sorry about your husband.

    Today’s gratitude: no power outage or storm damage. Wishing the same for all in the path of this next one, looks to be a doozy.
    Rosemarie the only thing more cheerful than “a picture of a Golden Retriever” is a real live one [wink, wink]
    Welcome @nitaoriol Ga girl, @hmjack1561 Hope and @luannegalizio Luanne! This is the right thread for motivation, support, friendship, compassion and wisdom.
    Annie that story of the strangers coming to your family’s Thanksgiving dinner by mistake is a testament to your family’s warmth and love.
    Tracey was it you who recommended “Only Murder in the Building”? Thanks! I’m really enjoying it. “… just up and moving” for me is the key to feeling (mostly) better ;}
    1/6: Move: Move: ZERO sets PT, brief dog group rained out, dogs to powerline, Jeopardy walking. Steps:5400

    Machka - so sorry the crud is still hanging on. How's your husband doing?

    Rosemarie - what car did you decide on? Have fun test driving. :) I think we all need some yellow in our lives - adding a yellow sofa when you are ready is a good place to start.

    Rori - what an awesome post and so timely. Always love to see you pop in, your positive energy jumps out at us. <3

    Allie - has Alfie actually met and spent time with Siri? Nice that Carmine and Seth showed up at sMiles party. It's a start.

    Tracey - this HP should last for many years unless I spill coffee on it. I had 2 Dell laptops throughout the years that quit working - as I recall, they starting "eating" batteries which were expensive, plus they just slowed down - not enough memory and other issues. I have never used this laptop on my lap, and only use the battery once every 2 weeks when Collette comes and I move it off the dining room table into the office.

    So yesterday after I reloaded Chrome and got things set up again, I decided to get off Windows 10 and installed Windows 11. Took 3 hours. Still getting used to it but it's fairly easy to navigate around. Maybe that will help stabilize this thing, crossing fingers. I think losing my profile info could have been a Windows issue, we'll see.
