    She looks a bit evil, like she is going to take over the world, or her cake.😂

    Today’s gratitude: sense of smell. The scent of fog and mist in the woods this morning, then the first whiff of Lemon Lift tea and now Joe’s garlic bread warming in the oven. Yum!
    PT exercises, even got steps in, was doing ok with the food when. . . knew it was a mistake to put the dark chocolate California brittle within easy reach of the recliner. One, ok, but couldn’t resist the second… with predictable results :rage:
    Tracey would love to see pics of your grade f-ers and their tipi. Cool project! BTW it was my Joe, not Barbie’s Jake, who figured out the cause of his tingles and nerve pain. ;}
    Machka Dentist again? Oh noo… thanks for the tip and op clarifications. Gotta say I love the nicknames “Salvos” and “Vinnies”.
    Allie hooray for good bloodwork.
    Annie ((hugs))
    Lanette Fingers X’d for favorable optometrist appointment today.
    Rebecca so happy you’re happy to be happy and put that sad, trying time behind you and your family.
    That’s it, time to do wii balance games, knee and shoulder PT and get ready for line dance class.

    Later, lighter, lovelies!

    A tip is a waste management centre ... a rubbish dump.

    A tip shop is a place located right next to a tip where people can drop off stuff that they don't want but is possibly too good to go into the tip or sometimes stuff is salvaged from the tip. Most tips have a shop associated with them. Words like recycle, reuse, resource etc. are often in the name of the tip shop. "Second Chance Re-Use Shop", "The Resource Tip Shop", "The Recovery Shop", "Uptipity Recycle Shop", etc.

    You'll find everything in these places. There's an outdoor area and indoor area. There will be building supplies like piles of used sinks, doors, windows, pieces of metal, pallets, bricks, and all sorts. There will be furniture, toys, suitcases, clothing, kitchenware, books, DVDs, CDs, bicycles, garden stuff ... you name it. And it will all be pretty inexpensive.

    Can you see the photos here:

    Here's a list of things you might find at a tip shop:
    http://www.recoveryshop.com.au/shop.html


    We got my beautiful antique dining room table from one tip shop.
    We got the little computer table I'm using right now at another tip shop. It sits neatly in front of my wing chair.
    I'd venture a guess that most of my CDs have come from tip shops.

    They are fascinating places. :)


    On the other hand, places like Salvos (Salvation Army), Vinnies, the Red Cross shop, etc. are Op Shops. Opportunity Shops = thrift shops. They'll mainly have clothing with a little bit of other stuff.

    At lunch, I go to the Red Cross Op Shop for books. They've all got books, but the Red Cross one seems to have the best selection. I go to the Lifeline Op Shop for slightly higher end clothing for work. The Vinnies is a good place for CDs and DVDs. The Salvos is the closest to where I work, and often has the lowest prices on clothing.


    Machka in Oz


    There used to be a recycling place next to the dump by my parents place that had all kinds of things like that. We got some great stuff super cheap.

    We do have thrift stores around but prices have gone up so much. Some prices are higher than buying new at the store.

    got a bonus morning to myself.
    Not going to mil's to walk the dog because dh is going straight to the dentist after he is done there.
    I am having my second cup of tea then heading out to work in the back yard again. I didn't go back out yesterday afternoon-too tired.
    He will be gone at least 2 hrs I think. I can get a lot done once I get started in that time.
    We may go out to lunch when he gets home- play it by ear.

    Zumba tonight- two friends will be missing again. One has family from Peru visiting and the other had the first surgery for reconstruction after breast cancer so she is out for a month after the expander was put in.

    Have a wonderful day ladies

    Back from Optometrist, all good. We talked about diabetes/blood sugar/ low carb. Dr. B said people with iffy blood sugars, even if not diabetic, can experience small but measurable changes in vision - nothing permanent, just fluctuations.

    I read more about Dr. Unwin's low carb Diabetes diet, and picked up a link to another low carb website:
    https://newforestpcn.co.uk/low-carb/

    It's utilizing Unwin's plan but has a nice chart of acceptable foods plus meal ideas. Looks like there's a free app too. Lots to review. Too wet to do much outside so here's my afternoon reading. ;)

    **Note their definition of low-carb is 130 gm of carbs or lower per day. And they recommend 90 gm of protein per day.**

    Lisa- just put my basil plants in one of the raised beds. The plants are tiny so all are in one side- I can transplant later when they get bigger but just wanted them in the ground and out of the green house(want it empty so I don't have to water just a few things

    Flea- That is the most amazing news ever. Thanks for sharing with us. Pray it stays like that and you can get off more of the meds.

    Lanette- dh is diabetic and change in his vision is one of the first things he notices when his sugar is off.
    His eyes get very blurry.
