@Tabatha_Cain , WOW the hail! Glad the cars have no damage. Hopefully the roof is also okay. Smart having it checked! Id rather do a small cash repair then ever use insurance! Thankfully where I'm that's not a worry. Lolol they're are 3 floors above me. That brings it's own worries. Happy to hear the ratings do help so much. Enjoy the trip for work. Sounds fun! I'm sure Joe will enjoy the pool. I would! I'm at the dentist having a new denture made. Hopefully they'll see me soon!
@kurtize, love the picture/saying! So true! Our thoughts lead us in the direction we go. Glad the fires are hours away! The weather is so crazy. Last night it was 48, now 24 (2:38 PM) tomorrow 50. YO!

Good afternoon hope your day is going well. For as much snow as we had yesterday and as cold as it was today, is beautiful 73 degrees outside. Needless to say snow all gone. Kayla and I went for a nice walk.

@Tabatha_Cain - the hotel is beautiful what fun, I didn't see is this a business or pleasure trip but either way, have a good time. Sorry about roof damage.

I got another post card, here is link to info on my walk through Dublin

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and it is weigh in. Boy and I up from my previous weight. Just spending Friday and Thursday night deviating from our meal plan really hurt me as far as weight loss. I had a great time though and it is not something we will probably ever do again. Well I mean maybe next year, but I don't think they will pay for a hotel next year. I think it was a one and done type thing. Joe and I had a great day. We went to the Henry Ford Museum after my meeting on Friday and bought a year pass. Since I work with AAA I got a decent discount on it and it is definitely not a Museum that you can see in one day. There are so many different sections and some of them are only open during the summer. So there is that. We got it for this year and only once. So that is cool. I have a ton of pictures from the Henry Ford Museum. Let me know if you want to see some of those.

@Kurtize - It was business. I had a meeting Friday morning at 9 am and it was roughly a 2 hour drive. So instead of having to get up really really early to get there on Friday they put me in a hotel Thursday night. So then I decided to take my husband and then after the meeting on Friday take some time off and explore the area over there.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. I was so excited for this trip all week long. The claims adjuster is coming out Sunday to take a look. It is actually listed as a catastrophic claim so that means it is more likely to be covered. My roof guy called and said that after they talk in regards to what the claims adjuster sees then he will call me and get everything situated, but he already went over everything he saw and sent the photos to the adjust that he took. He has worked with claims adjusters a lot and so they are used to the entire process.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

Tabatha

@Tabatha_Cain, Glad you had a great time!! That's a plus/plus!! When I lived in Denver we got a year pass to the Science Museum. Like the Henry Ford Museum there's os much to see!! I am sure you'll both enjoy it!! How did the claim adjuster go? When will you know when they'll fix the roof? It's always nice to have a new roof or one that you know is nicely fixed up.
@Kurtize, HI Joyce!! Hope you enjoyed the day!! I did. Was at meeting this AM, than 4 of us went out to eat. This time it was Chinese, I was able to order and eat a small enough amount with no take home after. A WIN/WIN!!

@Kurtize, I definetly got in a few naps, and 30 mins of exercise. TY TY for the sweet picture!

Late to this party but I wanted to see what was happening in the 5% Challenge. It's great to see that the challenge has continued to live on since its beginnings at Spark People. I am one of those people who started with the 5% Challenge way back then and hoping to join in the Spring Challenge. Still figuring our MFP. Was AndyinBC there and now AndyinBC on MFP.

Hi all happy Monday. Kayla's new fence is up so we can let her out and not have to watch she doesn't wonder off.

Sorry I have been AWOL lately, just really no excuse, just was getting late in the evening and all I wanted to do was to relax before bed time. Still working on our bedroom ceiling, as we can only do 1 runnng board a day, as hubby says working above his head doing one row a day is all he can take. And with only one arm that I can raise any, is out for me, and with the earthqyakes in my head sometime, I can only manage to hold one end of a 12 ft. board up with a another board, so I don't feel that I am not doing much. Good news is, we might get done by the week end.
This morning I had a Dr. appt. to renew my CPap, and I got a call an hour before my appt. saying I needed to check in 10 in. before my appt. but made it 15. and then had to wait 1 1/2 hours to see Dr. for less than 10 mins. WHYYYYYYYYYY. So that pretty well shot the whole morning and didn't get home until 12:15, just in time to see hubby off for a nap. But we did get our boards up for the day, only later. So now it is time to sit down and watch a movie on Netflix and relax. Have a good night. Linda

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be a rough day. I have several things to get booked today. So we will see how that all goes. I am thinking that I am going to be so busy that I might not be able to do a lot. Last night Joe and I went out and I did Door Dash and he did Spark and we did pretty good. I am glad about that. I think we have a solid plan.

@AndyinBC - Welcome. The challenge is doing amazing. Things have been going well. We have changed it up a bit though.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Wow yesterday was so darn crazy. The guy who was on my roof was a claims adjuster just not my claims adjuster. He is assigned to go to house's that have filed claims and get on their roof and check it out and then file a report with the actual claims adjuster. So I have not yet even been in contact with the person who is actually going to make a decision on my roof. My son did pass his drivers license road test. Now we just have to wait for him to get an email saying he passed. He did get a proof right then and there, but we need the email to show they have uploaded his results into the system so he can go into the state website and print off his temporary. He was so happy. I love my cats. They are so loveable and cuddly.
@Kurtize - That is an awesome fence area. I love the design.
@AthleteLori - Welcome. So glad you did not drop out. Sodium can really mess up your numbers. I am sure you will get there with the exercise. I am sure you will finish the challenge strong.
@imustloseit1 - That is great that you are almost done with the ceiling. It is a lot holding that huge board above your head while someone else is nailing it to the ceiling. You have just kept going and that is awesome. Don't you love how doctors can charge you for being late, but you cannot charge them for your time. Just once I would like to be able to send the doctor a bill for them taking an hour or 2 of my time.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

Tabatha

@Tabatha_Cain , How did work go today? And doordash? WOOHOO on S passing!! THat's GREAT!! Do they no longer get their picture license right off now? Or was the line sooo long? UGH sounds maddening about the roof!! HOPEFULLY you have no rain coming in or cold?
@Tabatha_Cain and @Imustloseit1, I had once taken time off from work (an hour earlier than my usually leave time) and the Dr was over an hour LATE!! I saw her, went out to pay my copay and I TOOK OFF the money I'd of made! The person was saying "You can't do that!" "Why not? You must of known you were running late, and could of called me. I'd of been here still an hour later, but on time before I'd of been seen." SHe was so not happy!! My Dr happen to be walking by and asked if all was okay. The person said "She took money off because we were late!" Dr asked "how much?" Looking at me "What I would of made if I were at work for the hour I sat here." Dr "She's right! Take it off." Hehehehe!!
@Kurtize, how is Kayla tonight? I hate it when they are sick or just not well. I love watching people you learn so much.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be another busy day. I was swamped at the office today. Wow. Lots and Lots of travel sales yesterday. I don't even think I was able to do anything for a policy change at all. It is crazy. I cannot wait to see what my sales are today when I print my report.

@Kurtize - I hope Kayla is alright today. Sometimes they get ill for one day and then they are fine. I hope that is the case.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - So here my son did not have to go get his license from the DMV. Now when he passed they gave him a paper that said he passed and that he would get an email once they had it in the system. Once he got the email he could do online to a certain website and print off his temporary operators license. It is just a piece of paper that will be used along with his state id and then he can drive. His license is automatically mailed to him. That is a service they provide. As far as work it was a mad house. I booked a gentleman a hotel, and flights, and Trip insurance for his trip to Louisiana, and then I booked a family of 7 airfare, hotel, Seaworld, Aquatica, car rental, and car rental insurance. Then the grandparents that are part of the 7 will be calling today to book their car rental and car insurance coverage. So there is that. The family of 7 started off as a family of 5 and then last minute decided to add the grandparents. So I had to requote everything. Luckily I had not booked anything yet. We were still in the pricing phase but right about to take payment. With the doctor here they would not allow the money to be deducted. They would literally send you to collections for not paying that additional coverage amount.
@imustloseit1 - Well at least the doctor apologized. I agree. I hate the old popcorn ceilings. Whoever thought that was a good idea was seriously wrong.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

Tabatha

@imustloseit1 , why they thought popcorn ceilings or a good idea I have no clue!! I have them here too. To me they're very ugly. When my nephew bought his house He took the time to undo all that nonsense. He had a real hard time at it but after a while he had a system. I think it's all done now it should but what a mess training care of it. It'll be nice if you can get everything all nice and sparkly again. And we know you well but please take your time.
@Tabatha_Cain wow great job on the sales! Especially the one with seven people. That should be really worth quite a bit. I hope the amount makes everybody around you smile it should very good job on that! It's weird how different they do things now but it's nice that he doesn't have to sit around in the DMV waiting for a picture one and that they mail it to him. That's awesome. I hope the rest of your day and evening goes extremely well.
@Kurtize, Happy to hear that Kayla is having a better day and has eaten. That's always a really good sign. Oscar kitty would eat treats 24/7 if I would allow it. I will not allow it of course but he certainly begs a lot. You do very high energy kitty and have not had one of these before. I have to say it quite entertaining and I get more exercise in! Lolololol So does Izzy kitty!! It certainly has helped her out having him around. I can't say that she absolutely loved it and that it would ever have been her idea but on the other hand she absolutely loves it and glad that he's here. So am I. Certainly make me laugh and laugh. And in two of them together are way too funny.

@Tabatha_Cain, I hope you got the sales you want to get today!! It sounds like a nice variety. Here's to having a good day!! Mine is very laid back now. This AM I had an ultrasound of my parathryoid, it came out as we expected, now to wait to hear from the surgeon. If her office doesn't call by Tuesday I'll call them. Be nice to get this taken care of.

@kurtize, I LIKE THAT!!
