@trooworld A photo appt is the appt for listing pictures. We had to use a different photographer as my team has signed on to some trial program to boost our listings and we have to use THEIR photographer.
@TeresaW2024 The new photographer wasn’t a bad human, just not great at the job, he missed some key features of the home and had to go back and take more photos. I used to really trust the place that worked on my car before, and all of the guys that work there are super friendly, it’s just that they haven’t been great at making good repairs so I stopped going there after the oil filter incident. Congrats on the loss!
@txcritter69 I do hope you share before and after photos of the cabinets! I am fascinated by rehab before and after shots!
@Veta2018 I appreciated the photo too! Sounds like you have a lot of projects going on, I hope you’re able to tackle them all!
@vegan4lyfe2012 You’re doing a great job of being a support person! I hope you are able to settle into living together in a way that brings you both peace of mind.
@Katmary71 ewww….maybe you can find a nutritionist who does vegetarian options, I’m not vegan but eating animal fat just to add fat sounds gross. That’s great that you were able to negotiate that great discount!
@laurelfit57 She looks like she is not about that Halti life! Lol
@sleepygirl79 I hope things slow down to a more manageable pace for you soon. I know what it’s like too!
@askewcr Take care, hope you feel better soon.
@19shmoo69 The app was having a tough day yesterday, the site didn’t exist for a while!
@micaroo4 Welcome back to New Hampshire…where it’s er….sunnyish? It’s always nice to be home after a holiday, makes you appreciate your routine more I think.
How are you, really? What are you worrying about that you can let go of?
I’m overwhelmed, and as much as I love my husband, when I have to remind him 3 times to pay the electric bill, and the third time is because we get a shut off notice it makes me nuts! We have the money, he just doesn’t make the payment! I’m not sure I’m able to let go of stuff…

@ninyagwa - I've got one at home just like yours! He's got the money, but he doesn't like to sit down and write a check to pay the bill. Aaargh! I feel the frustration! As for my guy, his excuse now is that he's run out of checks. Well buddy, go to the bank and order more. Has he done it yet? Of course not! And THAT is why we have separate accounts. The household bills are paid. It's only his personal shiitake that isn't.

Slight gain but I will take it....3 -
Good morning Slims!!!!
I'm thinking the question was about worries we cannot let go of.
My worries are my wife's health, the bills and several things need fixed. I'm not a fixer and I'm broke. It would be different if prices in general were lower.
Ice breaker question
Who would be the first celebrity guest in your very own talk show?
I think mine would be John Cooper from the band Skillet.4 -

@TeresaW2024 I know, right? LOL I didn't get into it last night though, so there's that! LOL That's too bad he didn't like your idea about the calendar, that seemed like a good idea to me. I'm sorry your niece is in that situation. I hope you can get her moved and it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.
@askewcr I'm glad you are feeling a little better and your sugar is down.
@ninyagwa Ah okay! That makes sense. I hope that the trial program helps. Oh gosh, that would drive me crazy too, if I had to remind my husband to make the electric payment!
@19shmoo69 Is your wife making any changes to improve her health? I'm sure the visit to the hospital scared her. Tell us why you chose John Cooper.
Icebreaker question: Who would be the first celebrity guest in your very own talk show? Hmmm...I was going to say one of my best friends as she is hilarious and has the same sense of humor as me. We laugh a lot when we are together. As far as celebrities, the former lead singer of the band Black Flag named Henry Rollins. Insightful, funny, intelligent. He'd make a good guest (he does spoken word that is like standup comedy and real-life situations, it's on YouTube if you are interested).
Hi all. I did so-so at the potluck yesterday: there were so many interesting foods I wanted to try (it was a "world heritage potluck" so foods from your ethnic background). I took a little of what looked the best. But I overdid it on the desserts, I think. It makes me wonder if I would have had a bigger loss if I would have controlled myself more. On another note, my old neighbor died yesterday. She never took care of her health.

@trooworld my wife has good days and bad. It seems her migraines are back quite often. I don't know if she's making changes. I know it sounds odd. I cannot really get into it. With that said our oldest son bought her a better exercise bike that she uses.
When I became a Christian my wife bought me a Skillet CD. It's a bit sentimental. I've been a Skillet fan ever since. I've seen them in concert several times. It's like he's been there through my whole walks of ups and downs. I'd like to hang out with him.3 -

DISCUSSION QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How are you, really? What are you worrying about that you can let go of?
I feel fustraited with myself because I can't help but have some resentment towards my step son. I don't want to feel this way. Whenever my husband shares something about him, I feel irritable. I think he needs to stop helping him and let him struggle. My step son has no consequences for his actions, he's unappreciative of all we do for him, and it's never enough. He's about to have a baby and makes some really bad decisions. He bought a motorcycle and then replaced it with another and another. He does stunts and keeps wrecking and repairing them. He already broke his ankle once and I'm afraid one of these times he's going to really hurt himself. I can go on and on with complaints so I'll just stop there.
Ice breaker question:
Who would be the first celebrity guest in your very own talk show?
I would choose beautiful, talented pop singer/song writer Katy Perry. She is unique, silly, and not afraid to just be herself. I seen her in 2008, when I took my oldest son to Van's Warp Tour. This was her very first tour, before she became famous. I enjoy listening to her songs "Hot&Cold", "Teenage Dream," "Fireworks," "Dark Horse," "Roar," "The one that got away" and many others.
Well, my husband had another job offer, so he decided to not focus on his tree business and instead go back to work at the steel mill. My FIL forgot to tell us he needed a ride to a procedure to have the battery charged in his pacemaker. Yesterday, I took him. It was a long day. His appointment was at 6:30 in the morning and an hour away. I took all day because the doctor started another procedure before discharging my FIL. I was so tired when I finally got home. I made myself eat dinner before bed, because I was worried about being under 1000 calories. We haven't been working on the new house like we planned. I'm hoping we will get something done this weekend. I really need to go grocery shopping because there is nothing to eat in this house.💪Mission Slimpossible Strong!💪2 -
@micaroo4 I'm glad you're feeling better! I'm glad your boss was able to help you get in the house. Poor Earl hopefully you'll be able to get his steroids without going in. I get that about getting too wrapped up in other's problems, it's hard not to do that.
@trooworld Hungarian goulash sounds awesome, I've had “American” which is good too but different. How was the potluck? Just saw it went well, sounds fun! Henry Rollins is pretty fascinating, I've watched his interviews and enjoyed them. I'm so sorry to hear about your neighbor.
@TeresaW2024 I haven't bought Ghee yet, I've been getting better butter so the switch shouldn't be too hard. I hope your niece gets rid of him too, it would be awesome if your niece could move close.
@askewcr So glad your sugar is down that's great news!
@ninyagwa I think I won't follow everything the nutritionist says though a new change will make that interesting (will tell in a minute below). Hugs that would be frustrating dealing with bills being forgotten.
@19shmoo69 Understandable worries with the economy and your wife, is she doing any better? I'm sorry to hear about the migraines. I like Skillet too.
Talk show guest: I'd pick Prince (bet @trooworld beat me to this) or Sully Erna from Godsmack (does great stuff for music, kids, and mental health with the SCARS foundation).
Hi gang! Things went well yesterday with getting the bark to the project house thanks to a last-minute Uhaul, we're ready to go in two weeks for sure now. I posted on my feed yesterday the craziness of getting 150 bags there, I'm going to share the photo of all of us afterward with the house owner, she's loving all the excitement (she's in pink). When I asked if she'd get in the pic with us she jokingly said she'd be the poor old disabled woman who needs help. I loved her right away which is why I've been pushing this to happen, she said she's more excited than a kid at Christmas. I went to see the nutritionist/micro current specialist and talked with the boss for awhile, we've made an arrangement where I'll be helping in the office and with social media. I'm going to have to rearrange my schedule a lot but I'm excited. I also just got tickets to see Geoff Tate from Queensryche and his new band next Wednesday at a small venue with my brother, my sending him recent live performances swayed him into saying yes despite it being in the middle of the week for both of us. Have a great Saturday everyone! I'm continuing to do great with logging, glad to see many of you are doing well too!

I don’t get it …I’m now doing over 11000 steps a day and drinking close to 3L daily. Maybe it is the new job and the activity is starting to add toning and muscle. I don’t know but I’m discouraged this morning4 -

I'm still working on staying within my calorie goals. I had my reassessment at PT and I'm going down to two times a week instead of three. I'm getting stronger and have a lot less pain. Slowly very slowly my left side is getting better.3 -
@trooworld I’m sorry about your neighbor dying. It’s a wake-up call for us all to take better care of our health while we have the chance. I always overdo the potluck dessert table, too. 🫤
@Veta2018 Ugh, what a long day for you, but I’m sure your FIL appreciated you taking him. I like Katy Perry, too! When my daughter was 14, she and her best friend did a whole dance routine to Hot&Cold that they performed for us one evening. It was hilarious.
@Katmary71 I would so pick Prince, too, if he was still alive! I loved him soooo much!! 💜What a great picture. The homeowner looks so happy.
Will your new job working in the office and doing the social media pay, or will you take it out in services? I hope you love it!
Good morning! Today is Joe and my 19th anniversary of the day we met. If you don’t know, we met on an online forum and almost immediately fell for each other. It took ten months to get our lives in order so that he could come pick me up and bring me to live in Georgia. We are going to celebrate by going to see a movie called the, “Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.” It’s based on a true story and is supposed to be funny, witty, and action-packed. We at least hope it is! Afterward, we are going to dinner at a new BBQ place called Jim ‘N Nicks. It should be a fun day.
Ice breaker question:
Who would be the first celebrity guest in your very own talk show?
Rob Lowe because he is my boyfriend!
We would talk about all his fantastic movie and TV roles, the Akins diet, and literally have a wonderful time together.:D

@19shmoo69 I'm sorry about her migraines, I can relate, I get them. They are hard to deal with. That's good she's using the exercise bike. Thanks for explaining Skillet. Sounds like an important group to you.
@Veta2018 That sounds like a tough situation with your stepson. I like Katy Perry's music. That's good you ate something before you went to bed. How much more do you have to do on the new house?
@Katmary71 It was awesome! Yes, the American one is good, too. The potluck was great: there were dishes from India, the Phillippines, England, Mexico, America, and probably more I'm forgetting. Yeah, I love Rollins. Thank you, she lived a sad life. Ooh Prince! I would love to have Prince as a guest on a talk show! That's good the bark to the project house went well. Cute picture. That's cool you are going to be helping at the clinic. Will that give you a discount on procedures/treatments? How fun to go see the guy from Queensryche. My friend liked that band.
@tammymccrady6278 Sorry about the gain. Maybe your body is getting used to the new activity.
@865jessica That's good news. Congrats on the loss!
Hi all. I've got a full day ahead of me. I'm getting groceries this morning, going to a musical with a coworker at 1, and then making dinner. It's going to be busy. Have a great day!

@trooworld my wife bought the CD for me. I was doubtful at the time. Lol. I started to play it and immediately she hit stop. I asked her why she did that. She said listen to it. It's broke. Something is wrong with it. I had to convince her to let it play and if it didn't change or if we didn't hear singing then she could take it back. Lol. It wasn't broke.2
