    Lanette, I haven't yet, as the only thing that isn't working is the button on the upper right of FB. that takes me to Messenger prompts that weird message. If I keep the chat bubbles open then I can get in Messenger that way. I can't play my "words with friends" that I like to do. If I am in Messenger and click on starting the game that weird message happens. I think its just a problem on the companies end, but this issue doesn't warrant buying a newer tablet. This one is about 5 years old.

    Flea - Funny you'd mention outhouses, we were proud of that flush toilet, even if it took a bucket of water to get it flushed! Many of our neighbors didn't have one. In fact, three of my older brothers actually dug a septic tank eight-feet deep, with shovels, into that Texas red clay - and before it was plumbed in, they put me and my sister down in the bottom and left us there while we cried and screamed. Until Mama lost her religion with the boys and they fetched us out of there. (Southern for cussing them up one side and down the other). That's a sixty-year-old memory…

    I really enjoy the suburban outlook and finding out what people often don't realize they take for granted, in all honesty. And am adept at code-switching, long before I knew it was a thing. I can both write and speak in what is essentially a midwestern speech pattern and tone, much like almost all the national newscasters use, so they are easily accepted people from both coasts and borders. I do not speak that way around people here; they're much more comfortable with my Texas accent and delivery. I tend to use those words and patterns when I write more for emphasis than anything.

    And my husband's most comfortable workdays at home are the ones where he's able to just feed the fire with the piles and piles of brush and read a book or two in between. He's in heaven. And looking forward to it in his next four days off!

    Barbie - I don't know if you are on Facebook or are able to access it, but this came through my feed this morning: all of the dog toys (buried cemetery style) that a golden retriever demolished came back to haunt him and there's a bunch. 😁 Annie might have pillow zombies coming to haunt her! Here's the clip:

    I've just started to read "How to Solve your own Murder" by Kristen Perrin. Only a few pages in and it looks good, so thanks to you or whichever of you ladies here recommended it.

    Rebecca - I'm glad you found a way to keep that Fire tablet working. And good luck with the Zepbound. Once you get over the initial discomfort, hope it works great for you. Upping the protein sounds like a great idea, I like your food log.

    Michele - interesting about W's SS number. 🤨

    at least for the next three weeks(if it doesn't get too hot) I have four days of exercise planned without taking the dog out. Zumba two nights a week and wetlands two days. I will start doing aqua zumba next month-not sure the date yet. I will talk a few friends into walking with me either at the wetlands or the park. I will just have to do better at planning .

    Big hugs to you! Lavender looks like such a sweet dog, and seems to be smiling.💖 That was nice of you to care, and pay for all the upkeep involved in getting her to a good place. Probably very healing for both of you.💖

    Today's bicycle ride on a cold and windy day. I should have been wearing a headband or something over my ears and an extra pair of socks! Still, it was good to get out there.
