Good Saturday
Managed to get in and out of Costco after work last night in 30 mins, dinner cooked, kitchen cleaned, caught up with y'all, and worked on paperwork for 2 hours for work. Got my water in and Bible read, I am counting yesterday as a win. Heading to Kentucky this weekend. More work stuffs to do.
HeatherUK Eating out is so expensive! DH asked if I wanted to stop for dinner before Costco last night or have breakfast at home. It didn't take long to decide! I just wasn't in the mood for expensive, fast, and okay food. What a wonderful experience for Bea! I always enjoy hearing about your artsy nights with your grands and seeing the results. Sometimes we are our own worse critics especially on artsy things. I hope you get to enjoy lunch with friend.
Machka YES!!!! Some days I just can't get DH redirected in conversations. It was so bad several years ago that I told him "Dog with a bone". It took three times of me saying it before he asked what I meant. I told him that we had already discussed that and he was acting like a dog that wouldn't give up its bone. Amazingly, it works a lot of the time. Thank you for continuing to share! It really helps.
Hugs!
Thoughts for healing!
Congratulations on losses!
May you make progress on something today!

Well woke up at 4 am ,but will try and go back to sleep for a bit.
No Carmine doesn't know about the babies yet..and at this stage of the game i think she could care less..right now its still all about her.
I dropped off the card and told her I loved her no matter what and to have a Happy 16th Birthday..I texted Seth and told him I stuck it in the front door.
No response..oh well im sure they will find it.

I don't blame her. If she doesn't think it's all about her, who will? Not her parents who spent large quantities of money to replace her.
I'm glad you dropped off a card and told her you love her no matter what. You might not get any responses now, but every little bit helps.

Good morning ladies!
Yes eating out is so expensive. But we never did it as a child so it feels like a special treat. It makes me feel grown up and independent, especially choosing things that my mother wouldn't let me eat.
I'm going to Mission Barbeque for lunch today. It will be a lot of calories, but I can hold back some.
Reading these books helps me keep my priorities straight.
The current book is 100 Says of Weight Loss by Linda Spangle. I skipped ahead to a reminder about portion size. I really had to re-educate myself about portion size, especially as I became less active. I used to feel like I had to eat until my belly was stretched to feel full. Now I eat a measured portion, and only get that stretched feeling on holidays. I have trained my eyes to expect a smaller serving, and trust that it will be enough. Especially with the raw cabbage. It is amazing how long it takes to chew half a cup of raw cabbage in diet cole slaw.
Have an amazing day ladies!

Just got my new half cup bowls. They are pretty but tiny! My eyes need more training. 😊
Annie in Delaware3 -
Annie I remember a friend saying that hospital portions were so small. I had to remind him that our sense of portions has been altered a lot by restaurant servings. I think your smaller bowls and plates will help alot.
Kylia3 -
One of the reasons I like weighing my food is because doing that provides an accurate portion size.
For example a serving of cereal is often something like 45 grams of cereal. That's like 3 Cheerios!! Not quite, but it's a tiny amount. When I pour a bowl of cereal it's about 3 servings. Even when I cut back, it's still probably about 2 servings. It's not till I weigh the cereal that I get the right amount.

Well, I was just getting my face on for lunch when Saga called about our priority registration for 2025 cruises. I was a bit flummoxed because of all the uncertainty with my diagnosis, but I ascertained that there is a cooling off period, and we can get our deposit back, no questions asked, for quite some time from now. The insurance can't even call us this early. So, I thought, why not?
We need to book early because we like one particular suite. So we are booked in for the Canary Islands for October 2025. Neither of us has been there before. I'm hoping to get a clearer picture of a possible timeline for operations etc by the end of this month, and so be able to decide what to do about this year's cruises. If we cancel both on medical grounds, I could spend the money on getting both hips replaced privately. I'm not inclined to wait forever, steadily getting worse, but I will talk all this over with the ANP on the 25th. Obviously, once the insurance people call, I'll have to come clean about the situation.
So far, we haven't lost anything, even though John had to search for the deposit!
It'll come back to us.
In the middle of all that the restaurant rang! They always check you are still coming.

I did twenty minutes on my bike and fourteen minutes walking! Yay!
Annie in Delaware6 -
Good morning, my chickens,
Heather - I DO remember that picture of Bea and her monkey... Seems impossible it's been eight years already and she's become such a force of nature! Sounds like you've got the cruise thing figured out. I am sorry the pain continues. Being able to alleviate it with pills for short periods has been a lifesaver for me. It's the unrelenting nature of the pain that starts working on your mental state.
--I also remember when restaurants were about twice what your meal would cost at home - and now it's gone much too far. Your avocado toast, an egg, and a drink here would probably cost $2 maximum for each meal at home, so it's 10 times as much at a restaurant. Corey called me to confess that he ate out for lunch yesterday, a $9 burger at Sonic, a fast-food place (something he does maybe twice a year). That amount buys enough ground beef to make nine burgers for us. I know this because he picked some up on the way home.
Tracey - Might be the ten years-ish difference in yours and my age, but might also be the difference in our kids and grands. Mine will be much happier with a captioned picture on a tablet or a laptop or a phone than with a book to hold in hand, both kids and grandkids.
--When Corey and I were first married, I put scrapbooks together - it was just the beginning of the scrapbook craze. The kids glanced through them once, and there they sat for 15 years. I plan to photograph the individual pages with my phone, and then scan the individual photos. I will ask my daughter if she wants the physical books before I get rid of them. I also know that my kids don't know my first family, and probably never will. My mama was long gone before I married into them, and I only see my brothers and sister, nephews and nieces, very occasionally, my kids even less. They're not interested in the old photos, why would they be?
--Your work for the certification is such a terrific thing. So pleased there's a piece of paper at the end of it! And yes, you should be able to get a new subscription for Microsoft Office when the current one is up, and if you are still a student, should be able to get it at the student rate, which is often 50 percent off. They're web-based.
Kylia - I knew your husband's blindness was due to an accident, but didn't realize he incurred so much brain damage, as well. You have a lot on your plate, dear heart. My heart goes out to everyone who's dealing with a spouse or sibling parent going through that kind of struggle, no matter age or stage. It is such a thief of the minds of these people we love. Don't take this wrong, but the fact that mine and Corey's parents are all gone is a relief sometimes, and my siblings are all so doolally I'm not sure anyone will notice if their cheese slips right off their crackers. 😈👀😍
Need to ferry some coffee in for the man - I feel like I do so little for him that coffee and kisses are the best gift I can give him on the weekend morning. And the kisses are as much for me as for him.
Hope it's a grand weekend for all,
Much love from unseasonably warm and sunny Arkansas,
Lisa

I'm with you, Lisa, on the photos ... and just about everything. I don't have photo albums anymore because no one (including me) look at them anymore. I think I've got some envelopes with photos and if I do, I'll scan them onto the computer.
Ideally, I'd like to scan just about everything onto computer.
Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have furniture or anything anymore and could look up sofa online that we liked, press a button and voila ... there it is. At the end of the night we could exchange it for a bed. In the morning we could exchange it for a chair and desk. Ah well, maybe living impermanently and nomadically has affected me.
Nevertheless, whatever I can scan, I will ... eventually!!

We had a take out lunch from our favorite Chinese restaurant. Lunch specials so smaller portions. Cost $43.00 including a generous tip. Delicious but glad we do this only once a month or so, I had garlic broccoli with brown rice. It came with soup but I gave the soup to Jake.grandmallie wrote: »No Carmine doesn't know about the babies yet..and at this stage of the game i think she could care less..right now its still all about her.

If anyone wants to weigh in here..... looking to get a back-up laptop this year. Either a basic model HP with very few bells and whistles or a "renewed" Apple Macbook of some vintage from Amazon. Prices on both are about the same, but the price on the HP can escalate with purchase of the Word/Excel office suite. Thinking of just taking this old HP offline and using just Word and Excel and storing photos.
Early stages. Plenty of YouTube videos about Mac's - I know nothing about them. Might not be worth the learning curve.
TIA.

To save money on Word and Excel, there is software called Libra Office that is free and works with Microsoft products. No need to buy that software. Works the same way and has PowerPoint as well. I switched to that years ago and simply save documents as Word or Excel when needed. More in spoiler. https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/

LibreOffice (/ˈliːbrə/)[10] is a free and open-source office productivity software suite, a project of The Document Foundation (TDF). It was forked in 2010 from OpenOffice.org, an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice. The LibreOffice suite consists of programs for word processing, creating and editing spreadsheets, slideshows, diagrams, and drawings, working with databases, and composing mathematical formulae. It is available in 115 languages.[8] TDF does not provide support for LibreOffice, but enterprise-focused editions are available from companies in the ecosystem.[11]
LibreOffice uses the OpenDocument standard as its native file format but supports formats of most other major office suites, including Microsoft Office, through a variety of import and export filters.
LibreOffice is available for a variety of computing platforms, with official support for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux[12] and community builds for many other platforms. Ecosystem partner Collabora uses LibreOffice upstream code and provides apps for Android, iOS, iPadOS and ChromeOS. LibreOffice is the default office suite of the most popular Linux distributions.[13][14][15][16]
LibreOffice Online is an online office suite that includes the applications Writer, Calc, and Impress and provides an upstream for projects such as commercial Collabora Online.
It is the most actively developed free and open-source office suite, with approximately 50 times the development activity of Apache OpenOffice, the other major descendant of OpenOffice.org, in 20150 -
Thank you all for the love. It really helps to have a place to talk. This town doesn’t have an ALANON group, so have to do this online. I’ve not seen and ‘real’ conversations on there yet, just people talking about what their alcoholic other has done now. I need someone to guide me on coping. My therapist does this. I can email her if needed and she answers. On top of my DH, my middle daughter hasn’t talked to me since Thanksgiving. Claims I abandoned her 3 times. I have no earthy idea what she means and where that came from. She doesn’t take calls or answer my texts. She checks her husband’s phone so he can’t talk to me either. I’m letting that get to me too. I think my moves, which I did while she was an ADULT are what she is talking about. And now, my mom just spent 2 weeks in the hospital with an infection that could have killed her. She was supposed to be transferred to a rehab facility and my sisters were supposed to send me contact info. No one has talked to me about this since I last talked to my mom. I’m getting worried about this too.
Guess I’m letting other’s problems become mine. I shouldn’t do that, except, they affect me too.

Of course, the warranty ran out on my car last month. When we purchased the car and warranty they talked him into buying a 4yr warranty(used car-two years old). We found out recently that the 4 yrs started when the car was new, not when we purchased it- Some shady stuff goes on at that place
Same place, when we took it in for something else, said we didn't have a warranty- One of their people had canceled the policy, pocketed the cash, and we had no idea until we tried to use it.
This dealer used to be really good, bought most of our cars from them. Not anymore
Remember when I had the alien/ghost in my radio? I had the same issue with my Subaru, however, the dealer honored the warranty for the radio even though it was in someone else’s name. Got lucky there. I also just got a letter from Subaru stating that they found the ‘real’ issue with these radios and extended the warranty for that another 5 years or 100,000 miles. I do hope when they fixed my radio, they fixed that issue as well. I won’t know until the 5 years are up and the radio breaks again!!🙄 Turns out it has something to do with it being 3G which is no longer supported and drains the battery trying to connect to it. I did notice when we got the car the battery went bad very quick. We had to replace it twice, until we went to a specific battery place, bought a battery with a 6 year warranty that was valid all over the US. Since we got that, never had issues with the battery again. So…. Good battery, bad radio/GPS connection unless upgraded.

Eating Out ... I like eating out. No cooking. No clean-up. But I am almost always disappointed in my meal.
Computers ... I've had Dells, HP, Microsoft Surfaces and Mac. I love my Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch and would be hard pressed to go back to other brands. I find the Apple products easier to use.
Tracey ... congratulations on getting your certificate!
Dementia ... hard to watch someone you love struggle ...
Debbie ... why didn't you have the tow truck take to the car to the garage anyways? Didn't they have a "drop box" for keys when they're not open?
Going to be a slow day today.

Good morning, ladies.
Michele, the perogies I made were potato with bacon and onion. Looking forward to Easter.
Allie, so nice that you dropped a card off for Carmine's birthday. Even if the line of communication is one sided, important to keep it going.
Enjoying the nice weather here. Waiting to hear back from the groomer as Lucy is getting so shaggy. Trimmed around her eyes a bit. I'm hoping to get her in before Easter.
Enjoy the day.

@Machka you describe my DH to a T in the spoiler. Only, he is getting worse and worse. Will your DH improve with treatment? Mine will not discuss it or get medical help at all concerning this. He is also going deaf and has TV and police scanner on loud competing with each other all the time. Drives me nuts!

Lunch went well. It was great to see my old friend. But I was disappointed with my meal. It was very meagre, much more like a cheap deal lunch portion. Enjoyable, but not ample. She had vegetarian, which looked better. Coming back was hard going, but I made it.
On the way there we passed the very posh chocolate shop where they make the truffles in the window. We know the kids love it there, so I bought three faces, cow, sheep, pig, for Easter. So that's sorted.
Now for a nap!

Today is: On Freedom of information AND book smugglers, I don’t believe books should be banned. In fact, if you ban it, I will read it to find out why. Most have not been read by the entity banning the book! IE.. Harry Potter was banned in TN. I read them and just finished “Flowers in the Attic” and in the middle of part 2 “Petals in the Wind”. And will look for more. Just because I don’t agree with what the characters are doing/saying, they are characters and not REAL people or telling me to do it!! I like seeing both sides of an argument and deciding for myself! Don’t tell me what I can or cannot read or watch!!!

Debbie - what a shame about that car and the messed up warranty and tow truck fiasco. Hope you made it to your mom's safely and enjoy your time there.
Tracey - glad everything is done and you have earned your certification. I love hearing about what you are learning, I think a lot of people would benefit from understanding children's (mis) behavior. Also glad you were there for your friend's mother, what a sad situation.
Machka - you look formidable in your fencing outfit. The symphony sounded very nice, glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about your DH's dog hanging onto a bone behavior. Mine was always a little testy that way and actually got better as his dementia progressed.
Rita - thank you for all of the computer info. That sounds like just the ticket. I'm sending the teleporter down to pick you up immediately (as soon as I get it that is, so don't hold your breath ) and you can I can go computer shopping. So sorry to hear about the family troubles and stress, and that of your DH's behavior as well. Are you still able to get your walks in?
Had a nice lunch yesterday with T and R, it was great catching up with them. But, we tried out a new restaurant, food wasn't that good. White bread type sandwich with run of the mill deli turkey meat, pale tomato slices, one slice iceberg lettuce. $12. My tummy felt "off" all afternoon.
R shared that a very popular little restaurant in a neighboring town was going to close in a few weeks. Rent was hiked tremendously, landlord doesn't want to fix A/C (the claim to fame for this place is its bakery so it's an inferno during the summer.) And the place has had to close early several times recently because of no employees. People don't want to work at even $20 or so an hour? We truly live in strange times.
I get it though. Patrons are probably grumpy because of the high food prices, maybe having to wait because of short staffing, and the staff that shows up has to take the brunt and likely aren't getting tips through no fault of their own.
Thanks to all of you gals who shared experiences with Apple Macs. I've been watching YouTube videos about how to set up a brand new HP out of the box. Doesn't look too scary, kids in first grade can probably do it these days without watching videos. I plan to take my current laptop back to Staples this week and have them figure out the McAfee anti virus mess. Great opportunity to watch and learn. 
Also, thanks as well for the mattress suggestions. A twist:Before lunch yesterday I stopped in a local furniture store, had a pleasant no-pressure sales gal show me some I liked at a good price. When I got home, I took a look at what I thought was the box spring but actually was wooden slats set on wooden slats, which will do fine.
As I was shifting the mattress, I saw the 2 toppers on there- a 1" and a 4". And I wondered what it would be like if I simply removed the 4". We put it on there several years ago to make it more cushy for DH's achy joints. The mattress already had a pillow top.
So I had a wrestling match with that 4"er but finally won and fastened a belt around it and put it on the guest bed.
I slept on the less-cushy bed last night. It was fine, it certainly wasn't any worse than the super cushy version and it's worth a shot. I have to find a home for the 4" topper, have some ideas.
My foot is getting better. I think cutting the walking way back and doing the back/sciatica exercises and stretching is paying off and solving part of the mystery. We'll see how this plays out.
It's going to be a warm, sunny day and forecast nice through Tuesday, so have a lot to catch up on here.
Make it a super weekend.

Well had the most awkward breakfast/ lunch with Carmine ,Seth,Tracy and Miles.. Kyle came but as usual the kids didn't come on time which ticked Kyle off so he took Tracy's keys and left.. Tracy,Miles and I waited another 40 minutes for them to show up and this place is 10 min from there house..
Carmine basically ignored us the whole time we were sitting there..Tracy tried talking to her.
She wouldn't give either of us a hug,gave one to Miles.. I paid the bill not a thank you for that and they were off.
I took Tracy and Miles home..Tracy was close to tears .. I know it hurts her heart.. she gave Carmine 100.00 amazon gift card and she barely said thank you.. Seth told her to.
This is the Taliah we know and love.. not the sullen nasty teen she has become..but have to love her anyway..8 -

Tracey that is way too long to tolerate a boring presentation. You are tough! Con VERY gratulations on your certification, you sure earned it!
Annie great victories, both on the scale and with your dad’s choosing to clothe before getting the paper. Well done! What you said about cabbage, adding some to my ramen really makes the “meal.”
Kylia, I wish you could lovingly, unemotionally, calmly, excuse yourself from the family business and find other employment, but realize that with your husband’s disability that is unrealistic. You are in a hard place. ((hugs))
Lanette well done on the stretches. It always amazes me how lright hip is so much tighter than right. $2700? Yah no.
Welcome @crystalkolomeitz in Ontario!
Barbie, yours and Annie to Allie training Siri . . . :devil:
Rita ((hugs)) When your DH is talking to campers, can you stand a little behind and to the side of him, smile sweetly and shake your head? Maybe they’ll get the message and come to you later . . . You are in a hard hard place. It’s so scary to see someone we love decline. ((hugs)) Thanks for the Libre Office reminder. I really resist “subscribing” to cloud based M$oft software. When my Windows 10 laptop finally gives up the ghost I’ll try that, as doubt Win 11 will support my OfficeProfessional 2013
How could you not be affected by the problems of your loved ones? Hope your therapist has some coping mechanisms to offer to keep the “affecting” problems from “becoming mine.”
@javaplace agreed about choosing love. What would you like us to call you?
Anna ((hugs)) Good to hear from you. Agree about staying healthy, its importance and life interrupting.
Debbie [sigh] sorry for the car trouble, really sorry that your DH is angry. Really sorry to hear about the warranty and the formerly reliable dealer.
Machka Grieg and Sibelius are faves, envy you the Finlandia. I am so sorry for what you’re going through with Rowan but grateful for your sharing and insights. Bravissima for fencing.

I made good choices at lunch! We went to Mission Barbeque and I had shrimp and collard greens and cornbread. The cornbread came free with the shrimp. Near as I can tell, I still have 200 calories for some dinner later! Yay! I still have to expect the salt to affect my weight though.
