Good 🌄
Mo- Thank you for the insight. Stress might contribute. I think Beth also helped with eating statement. Good eating hasn't been priority most likely from stress. Wow, what a circle! I know that when I eat right I don't hurt in the morning. Right now it takes about 30 steps to get body unstiff when I get up.....Vacation is coming 2 weeks and 2 work days.....
DH complains that invoicing not done. I think he forgets there are 3 mechanics and 1 me....Yesterday he tells me that we need to go to eyeglass place. Now....I can total invoices OR take him to get eye glasses....in the meantime his sister is wandering around looking for things to stay busy. I told him that I was busy and to have his sister take him since she wasn't! He tells her that is what I said-smh. She took him-yay!!!!Good thing cause they would have been calling me with the customers that came in when they were gone. Anyway, I am proud of myself. Just tired......migraine at a dull roar this morning.
Pip- Congratulations on jersey!
I need to get out of hot tub and on a mower before work.
Much love,
Kylia in Ohio

I haven't trusted emails since the "I Love You" virus in 2000. Remember that one?

I popped out to buy some flowers. Some for the dining table and a small bunch for my cabinet. Styling is coming along nicely. I need something low in the middle.
The dining room flowers are pale pink gerberas. The shop wires them so the heads don't flop. The last ones I bought lasted ages.
G is over the moon with her flowers! She got to go to the hairdresser today, and we (schoolfriends) are all having a Zoom this pm.
Chinese crispy duck tonight.

Tracey - I hope your car is an easy fix. At that mileage, you've gotten good use out of it and hopefully a lot more without going too far in the hole. Glad you were able to get to ceramics with Michaela and enjoy time with her.
Kylia - glad to hear you have some vacation scheduled. I don't think I could work with family like you do and I know they depend on you for a lot! Glad your DH's sis could run him to the eyeglass place. If I lived closer I'd be glad to help you get the invoicing caught up. 😁
Beth - glad to hear your son's healthy eating and exercise program are helping his migraines. Is your DH scheduled for back surgery?
Ginny - sorry to hear about your herniated disc. Would they have you try a prednisone pack? Good job getting the move to the new place done so quickly, hope your old house sells quickly.
Debbie - glad the fridge repairman made it out quickly and you had another freezer to store things in.
Heather - G's situation is exactly why I'm doing all I can to stay active. When you first mentioned her arm break, I looked at my weights and told myself I must keep doing them whether I feel like it or not. It's that important to keep my bones strong and balance good. You are so right - when we live by ourselves and something happens that we need help with, who do we turn to? I think about that a lot and am so grateful I have neighbors who would shop for me if needed. T would help. I could probably get Collette to help me with personal stuff in a pinch. So it's important to keep those friendships fresh and congenial.
Pip - good job on the rock painting. When you first mentioned you were looking for it again, I remembered Debbie had posted it. Glad you found it so quickly.
I went to the road department retiree's BBQ again last evening. It was a potluck with tons of good food. I took a large bowl of Greek bean salad. Brought about half of it home, which was fine since I eat a lot of it anyhow so don't have to worry about fixing lunch for several days. The drunk did not attend and the folks I sat with were so interesting and enjoyable and lots of fun, and knew a lot of fascinating history about my neighborhood. I could have listened to them talk for hours. Looking forward to the next one in 3 weeks. Only 2 more this year.
Today the blast furnace door is open - mid 90's F predicted for the next 4 days. I'm going to wash the mattress cover and comforters over the next few days and hang them out to dry in the sun. Might as well take advantage of nature's dryer. 😁
I'm also working on my shopping list - will probably head to Safeway early tomorrow morning and grab a few things then get back home shortly after sunrise.

Hey, kids…
Started my day off by calling my baby sis to wish her a happy birthday. Seems nuts that the youngest of my siblings is 63 years old. All but one of my mother's seven kids made it past 60. My brother Spencer died in his 40s, of lung cancer from smoking, more than 25 years ago. No clue whether my father's kids are still kicking. I've tried to search them on the Internet a couple times, but they don't show up, so 🤷🏻♀️. Tried the DNA thing through 23 and Me many years ago, but when they went public in 2021, I pulled all my information down. Just a precaution. Not losing any sleep over finding them.
Did my outside things, got the watering done… and it's only 74 degrees right now outside, but back up in the 90s again this afternoon and all weekend. Rain predicted to sharply drop the temperatures on Monday and the whole week really, with highs in the 70s (low 20C). Sounds wonderful. Hope they're right.
Heather - Really like the addition of the flowers on your cabinet. Very serene and lovely. Like Lanette, G's situation has me looking at how to get my joint and bone strength up and keep it up over the years to come. Hope it's not a tough recovery for her.
Tracey - When you said the winter looked okay financially, I nearly flinched. Any time I start to feel that way, something inevitably seems to arrive to change things. Like buying a piece of land unexpectedly, for us. We didn't go into debt to do it, but it was close, and I'm still trying to dig us out. Hope the transmission isn't toast, kiddo, and that it's an easy fix. Frustrating when they go sideways, I know. Enjoy your time with Michaela!
My son is over the moon with an email he got from his instructor - he strongly suggested John send the short story he wrote for his final in to the college's publishing arm to get it put into an anthology. So pleased for my him…
He's working with people whose job it is to encourage him and grow his skills right now, and I hope he builds up the emotional muscle to survive the first few times he's told "No" if he stays on this path. The original volume of Harry Potter was rejected by 12 publishing houses before it found a home. I might need to embroider that for him to hang up in his writing space. 😂
The picture is one of my prettier (not fake 👀) morning glories… the lacework on the leaf is the aphids, which have been just impossible to control this year, because I didn't do the annual treatment for ants in the spring. It never stopped raining, and getting a couple dry days in a row to spread the granules was just impossible. I'll just have to power through next spring, try to catch them before they take over everything. I think it's funny that the aphids don't touch the flowers, they just munch on the leaves…
We had air fryer chicken last night for dinner, and Corey wants chicken salad for his dinner. Doesn't sound good to me at the moment, but I'll keep thinking about it.
Whoops, there goes the dryer. Off to my doings…
Later, my dears,
Lisa in AR7 -
Kylia ~ Wishing you a good day! So sorry about the headaches but as others have said, it is probably all the stress associated with your work and the need to keep everything in your life in ship-shape condition. Glad you have your hot tub to relax in!
Heather ~ That lamp compliments the cabinet and your painting so well. It all looks perfect.
Tracey ~ That was really nice that you all chipped in to get Jonah’s Pay Station5 and that he worked to get it. And, Kylia, your oldest was so wise getting her children to do chores to earn money…a life lesson. I’m afraid that our son did not do chores to earn money but he was expected to help. He has worked at restaurants ever since he was able to drive.
Pip ~ Your beach rock painting is cool! Another good memory of Yogi. Glad Kirby and Yogi helped you reach your goal.
Kay ~ I can’t stop thinking about our scam. My husband was so focused worrying over our son that he wasn’t thinking straight. If he had calmed down and given a moment to ponder he would have realized. We gave the scammer a lot of Crypto dollars. The whole episode just reminded us of our age and vulnerability and not to answer calls, text, or emails we didn't recognize.
Tracey ~ Sorry about your car trouble and hope your brother can give you some advice about it. That’s a lot of milage!
Lanette ~ Glad you enjoyed your BBQ gathering.
I had my MRI on my back at 6:45 this morning and will give the cd to the doctor to examine in a week or so. Hoping that he will discover something non-invasive to help.
Thinking of all you ladies and your families! 🙏

Heather here is the US the only way you can be sure you will not be given life saving treatments is to either stay out of hospitals and or away from EMT. Unless you have pinned to a directive from your doctor they are by law required to give life saving measures. The plan we had with when we set up our trust was not enough. I learned this when went through hospice with DH. We were in the process of getting that directive when he died at home. If I had let the EMT take him to the hospital with his falls he had his last week they would have taken extra measures and prolonged his pain. I would have also been charged for his transport. Insurance would have covered some of it.
I know when my friends husband died in Germany they tried to revive him when he had a massive heart attack. Many ribs were more than likely broken.
We try to have control over what happens at time of death, but I know it will depend on the circumstances and who is around me. I also know if I die alone with no one present they do an autopsy. I too have made my wishes known but also made peace that there may be factors I have no control over.
I prefer to concentrate on making the best of each day I am blessed.

Last day to feed my calf. I'm gonna miss doing that! I could never raise animals for food. I get too attached to them! We used to raise rabbits for food and I simply couldn't watch when they were processed by my DH! Never did get a taste for rabbit either. I can very easily become a vegetarian. What do they call it when you are a vegetarian but eat dairy? Therapist yesterday went well. She wants me to make a list of things I do for myself and add to it. Stop doing for everybody else and do some thing for me.
Thought for today:
A policeman pulls over an old man driving a pickup truck with the bed overflowing with ducks. The officer says sternly, “Sir, you can’t have a flock of ducks wandering around downtown. Take them to the zoo immediately!” The old man nods, agrees, and drives off. The next day, the officer spots the same pickup truck, still full of ducks—but this time, all the ducks are wearing sunglasses. Frustrated, the officer pulls the man over again and exclaims, “I thought I told you to take these ducks to the zoo!”

Good morning my friends!
Pip great job on the rock! And congratulations on getting the jersey!
Tracey sorry to hear about your car trouble.
Lisa thank you for the pretty flower!
I just finished two books by Emilia Finn. Excellent and entertaining, but a little violent.
That reminds me, I need to keep going with Oliver Burkemsn. I read two chapters, and thought he was quite sensible and reassuring, then put him off to go back to my escapist fiction.
Have a great day! May you all be happy, healthy, safe, and free!

Vegetarians eat dairy and eggs ... just not animals.
Vegans don't eat anything from animals. No dairy, eggs, honey etc.
I lean toward being vegetarian. I'm not 100% vegetarian but I do eat a lot of vegetarian meals and have quite a few vegetarian days.

Heather - I’m envisioning some crystal on your cabinet. It’s sparkly and pretty.
Lanette - I’ve heard back from my brother that I should have the car looked at, he also suggested I check the oil. So I’ve emailed the mechanic I trust the list here and asked what he will charge to look at it. He knows I don’t do anything without talking to my brother and he also isn’t in it for just the money. He is in it for people.
I’ve been looking online at used cars and figure I need about 3k. I don’t mind a beater, I don’t have to travel far, but I want something reliable at least.
I just do not want a car payment.It must be nice to get out and meet people in the neighbourhood. I haven’t met a lot here, but know a few and it’s been wonderful.
Lisa - I know better than to say anything is looking good. It’s like the universe laughs and says “just wait”.
Carol - I think Jonah has matured a lot this last year, he is learning the value of working for what he needs/wants. He will be 14 in a couple of weeks.
Well I’ve checked the oil and it’s a bit low. I’m going to get some put in when my little partner in crime wakes up. The speed limit to get to the gas station is less than 40 so I should be safe doing it. I do have some here but I can’t get the cap off to put it in.
I think I’ll get the mechanic to do a diagnostic on it anyway so that I’m better prepared.

Tracey - I just went to get started on painting bits of the back bedroom and I, too, couldn't get the cap off. Annoying... And if you're from Texas, the universe would say, "Here, hold my beer." Same thought, though.

Tracey - I'm anxious to hear what your mechanic says. I remembered I once had a car with a "thunk" - it turned out to be something like a tie rod end. I'm sure there are different "thunks", lol.
Rita - I would miss not visiting that calf too.
Carol - sounds like you made it through the MRI adventure just fine. Hope the CD shows something easily fixable to ease your pain.
I follow neurosurgeon Dr. Betsy Grunch on FB & YT who goes by "Lady Spine Doc". She does a lot of brain and spine surgeries and presents "lessons" about back and neurological ailments - how to diagnose and how to treat.
(8683) Case Studies, Diagnoses and more - explained by Dr. Grunch - YouTube
After 5 days of being off Cele coxib, my back pain returned enough to warrant getting back on it. I messaged Dr. Lisa and asked her if scheduling it 4 days on, 3 days off per week would be a good idea. She said yes, give that a try.

I've been on a journey, which I'm not sure I've shared here. A year or more ago, I stopped eating chicken and beef. Just fish, eggs, and dairy. In that time, I had some chicken once and a couple bites of beef and realized I don't really like it.
Then a couple months ago, I realized that I really wasn't enjoying fish either. I was probably only eating it two or three times a week anyway, so it was easy to cut out.
Most recently, I just decided to go all in. I wouldn't describe myself as vegan, because that has political connotations, but "whole foods, plant based." Think "Forks over Knives" and "What the Health" and "How not to Die."
I'm no longer eating dairy or eggs. Protein comes from beans, nuts, and legumes. I'm feeling much better and my BP is low, low! I'm hoping my kidney function will improve. It did slightly two weeks ago, but I'd like to be in the normal creatinine range, and an eGFR in the 40s.
My husband eats like crap, and his eGFR was 78 and cholesterol perfect. Infuriating, but good for him, I guess.
So not vegan, because I'm doing it for my benefit and not the animal's benefit. As much as I love and adore them.
Lost five pounds this month too, so even though that's not the expressed goal, kidney health is, it's an added benefit.
School starts Monday, so this week has been hectic, what with moving my son into his dorm and preparing for my own classes.
Love to all.

Lanette … my husband is scheduled to see his doctor next week to review recent MRI and make decision about surgery. Surprisingly, the MRI showed no change from his pictures of a year ago so the increased pain and weakening strength issues had to be from overuse. They will be discussing this also.
Flea … I don't think I really like chicken or beef much either. I don't eat pork products if I can help it. There are shellfish allergies in the family so we stay away from those. Fish has to be fresh and relatively unprocessed for me to eat it and I won't eat bottom feeder type fish. I love cheese/dairy … but it doesn't love me. Nuts are also not my friends. Fruits and vegetables sit pretty well, but I have to be careful with beans. That leaves bread and crackers. What a PITA my digestive system has become!😂 You would think I would be thinner by now, but wouldn't you know it … chocolate also goes right on down …
Tracey … hope the car problems don't set you too far back.
I watch our budget like a hawk and was prepared for an auto insurance increase … which we received… when we bought the new truck. But our renewal time is in the first week of September and the continuation notices for Liability, Home and Auto are also seeing a stiff hike. I talked to our agent today. Crazy times compounded by the fact no one wants to write policies in NY anymore. It will eventually all collapse, but in the meantime we have to pay up. At the agent's suggestion we're going to take a Driver's safety course for a 3 year discount. My husband isn't impressed.
Temperatures are on the cooldown here …upper 70s over the weekend, followed by upper 60s next week. I'm ready for Fall.

OK … just wanted to let you know I changed the profile photo. Tired of the multiple scam friend requests so moving away from a personal pic.

Beth - that sunflower shot should confuse the scammers, lol. I wonder if they'll prescribe your husband PT and/or going to the gym? Your comment about vehicle insurance going to collapse - did you mean the price will eventually collapse or there won't be anyone who sells it? What a situation!
I think the price of insurance and yearly licensing is what keeps me in my old cars. My Hartford insurance went up 35% - I only have liability. I was going to call and ask why the big jump then realized there had been a very minimal increase the past few years. My tab renewal went up $5 this year, that's manageable.
Protein & bone health - I want to comment about protein and bone health. I joined (and have since unfollowed) this FB group a few days ago:
Osteoporosis: Prevent or Reverse. Strength, Training, and Nutrition. | Facebook
It's a very busy group that talks about ladies' experiences with different medications such as Prolia, and also osteoporosis, osteopenia, DEXA scans, everything.
What surprised me was a recommendation by the admin to eat one gram of protein for every centimeter of height! That was a new one. Some of us are watching our kidney health - I'm 68" tall and there's no way I could or should consume 172 gm of protein per day. I dived right in and commented that before vastly increasing protein like that, best check with your medical provider. 😮
1.2 gm of protein/kg appears to be adequate to prevent sarcopenia and keep our bones healthy. For me, 90-100 gm/day.
It's a refreshing 😫 91F right now, lol. Blanket was washed and dried in the sun this morning, mattress cover is flapping in the wind and should be ready to bring in shortly. Smells great.

Dh had someone kept calling him about an outstanding bill with Apria(the company that does the equipment rental for his mom- bed, walker, etc)- they had all her information but something didn't sound right.They kept wanting him to give his cc number over the phone instead of sending a paper bill. Something didn't seem right so he didn't pay. This went on for a few months. Then found out they had a security breach at Apria-that is how they had all her information.
I just had a call from cc company(or so she said) BUT, called me by Debbie- that is NOT the name on that credit card. That is how I know it is fake.
Been a busy week and very far behind on reading here- won't catch up today. Daycare girl just left. I have not quite two hours until I head over for Aqua zumba and as soon as I am done there, quick stop here at home to shower and load my car and head for mom's for the weekend.
Praying the fire in Calistoga gets under containment and if it does burn more, that it continues to go east.This week I have done great exercise wise- 2 zumba classes, one aqua zumba, two walks at the wetlands and two walks at the park with my friend. Each was an hour or close to it. Was great walking with Sue- haven't got to catch up in months. We have been friends for almost 27 yrs. Met her before she had Noah(she was pregnant with him and they started daycare when he was 1)-our boys were best friends all through school.
Going out to pick raspberries to give to mom.
Will go to food program tomorrow morning with her.
I will go up to see my sister in the facility either tomorrow or Sunday.
Staying up Sunday night at mom's to take her for lab work on Monday morning before heading back home in time for class.I will catch up here when I get back.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Debbie
Napa Valley,CA- heading to Alexander Valley,CA for the weekend.

Well, we went up to Denise’s. The drive up there was not a lot of fun, what with the wind and all. But at least it was better than the drive home. 40 mile/hr gusts of wind on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. We stopped at their welcome center and you should have seen the line of trucks that couldn’t go over, hoping the weather lets up so that they can drive over the bridge. There were some guys sitting there who were on motorcycles waiting, too.
When we got there, we didn’t tell Denise but we went to the hotel first and then went for dinner. We knew if we went directly to Denise’s we wouldn’t get out until around 8 or 9, and we really don’t want to eat that late. We know Denise won’t offer us anything, so as usual we went out.
Wed. we took PJ to the indoor pool at the hotel. He could go swimming even tho it was raining! Then we took him bowling. Actually, he did quite well. He did get discouraged (natch) when he didn’t knock any pins down, but he beat me. Then he wanted us to take him to the park. By this time he was getting tired, but, of course, he wouldn’t admit it. So we went home and put together the “Rock Em Sock Em Robot” toy. They’ve changed it now it’s more challenging. Unfortunately, that made PJ lose interest faster.
Kitten: the first night we were in DE, I was literally crying when I went to bed. All I could think of was how that kitten climbed all over me, how he snuggled up to me, how he licked my face. But Jess did take him (well, actually, Colby did) him to a rescue place. I’m sure he’ll get adopted real fast, he’s so lovable and friendly. The second night we were in DE I thought of him, but no crying. Just confirmed that I’d make a terrible foster parent
Rebecca– I’m so sorry for your sister and everyone else. Hope you feel better
Oh, while at the hotel,. Wed. morning I used the Peloton. This was the first time. At first I couldn’t figure out how to turn it on, but I finally did. Don’t know about how you adjust the tension, I think I sort-of have that figured out. But one thing I could not figure out at all was how to adjust the volume. To me, it was too loud. Also, and I’m sure this is just about that particular bike, I couldn’t seem to regulate the seat as to how close to the handlebars it was. But I managed. Just used one of my downloadable workouts. I was going to use one of their shorter workouts, but Vince wanted to leave super early so I just forewent exercise. I won’t die.
Heather– the more I see that painting, the more in love with it I am. You have a good eye for decorating
pip– No red car??? That’s something All our cars are (and have been for a long time) silver. Well, technically mine is gray, but it sure looks silver. Wonderful looking rock
Ginny– what will son and family be doing in Dublin?
Tracey– thanks for telling me that High Potential is starting up
Worked today, then went to the soup kitchen to drop off the church’s donations and also to volunteer. I have a box at BK for the soup kitchen’s annual can good drive. It’s because there is an increased need and fewer donations in the summer and also that the backpack program is starting up since kids will soon be in school. Anyway, I left a large can of some vege and a small can in the box at BK so people will see that we use both sizes. Anyway, right before I left I checked the box and do you know that someone took those two cans? All I can say is that they must have really needed them.
Anyway, after soup kitchen went to WalMart and then bought gas because Jess used my car while I was gone and left it pretty low on gas. Think I’ll have to go to WalMart again tomorrow after work since I totally forgot to get a turkey breast for dinner one night. I had written “turkey” on my list and thought it was turkey for sandwiches. Oh well…
The gal in charge of the Wed. night bowling called to see if we are still interested. I know Vince is and unless I have a partner, I’m not going to because when we bowl the vacancy, it’ll be just me bowling
We have the last bowling session of the summer league this Mon so I’ll be bringing sausage cheese balls. Honestly, a lot probably won’t be eaten but that’s OK since I don’t mind having them
Guess that’s about all for now.

Like the morning glory- I have deep purple and deep pink ones here- made the mistake of planting them in one pot in the back garden about 15 yrs ago- now they are every where, taking over, front and back yard. I pull thousands of them every year but they still keep coming back, strangling my other plants.

Beth — Over the years, my body has decided it doesn't like protein and wants to get rid of it as quickly as possible. I have negative reactions to several kinds of meat, dairy, nuts, seeds and beans.
Also, I don't really like meat (animals including seafood). If I were on my own, I would drop it entirely, but we don't eat much and what little we eat is usually chicken. As it happens chicken is the one protein my body doesn't reject entirely.
I'm not sure what's in protein that my body doesn't like.
So I guess I'm Flexaratian or Semi-Vegetarian.

I am just generally suspicious. Suspicious of emails, texts, phone calls, random people in the street wanting to do surveys (yes, it's a thing here), ads, special offers, most of the stuff around the edges of websites, etc.
At work, we're required to take short courses in security and they get us to do little security quizzes now and then.
If anyone here sees that their community centre or library or senior's centre is offering a short courses in online / phone security in person, I recommend taking it.
If you see similar courses offered online, make sure they are offered by the government or a known university / college (as in, you go to the university site and find the course, don't click on a random ad) … some of those online courses put on by whoever aren't to be trusted either.
I work in a computer field and I enjoy working with computers (and data and databases), but at times the danger factor makes me feel like unplugging everything and going and living in a forest somewhere.
That's probably why I like things like long bicycle rides, walks, and even swimming. I might still be a little bit connected, but there is a certain freedom.

Good morning my friends!
Flea and Machka Yay for a veggie based diet!
Debbie have a great trip! Yay for fresh raspberries!
Michele so glad you got to visit PJ!
I'm getting behind on the dishes but that doesn't really matter. I will catch up this afternoon. Or maybe just let it go. Dad leaves his dishes wherever so I have to collect them. But I'm just glad he feeds himself for the most part, even if he does eat mostly cookies and ice cream, with the occasional cereal and peanut butter toast. I put better food in front of him, but he only takes a few bites.
Today I will visit my friend K. Another woman is coming, a caregiver with a dementia patient. Hope they get along.
In my last book order, I ordered two copies of one book by mistake. That's the second time I've done that! But I need to stop beating myself up. It's simply a return.
Have a great day! I was expecting a couple days of rain from the hurricane tail, but nope! Yay for sunshine!
May you all be happy, healthy, safe, and free!
