THIS IS A “LENORA” NOVEL … so skip over it if you ‘don’t want to read it’. KJ – Blue birds are small birds (and all blue); Blue Jays are a much bigger bird; and has a pattern with white stripes on some parts of his body; and, a (for lack of a better word) ‘cowlick’ to the head. They make an awful cry [not really a ‘caw’…

Margaret – Like I said; 5th graders take a lot of the stance their parents do when it comes to ‘history’. Yeah, the 2 famous generals were Robert E. Lee (for the South) and Ulysses Grant (for the North). If they had been encouraged by their parents to look up 10 facts about both; and, then decide (on their own) which man…

Lois – Yeah; especially when they do it under ‘cover of dark’. It is good. Next time I will make it into ½ pint jars. That way I will feel better about the work it takes and get something to make me feel like I really worked hard at it. I tried making hot pepper jelly; but, it turned out more like a ‘sauce’. It's good;…

Lois - The deer discovered our two long rows of Muscatine and Scuppernong grapes. I need to use the grape juice I cooked up and make some grape jelly. Add to dictionary two years ago; and, they have stripped them clean ever since. DH says he is going to put up a fence around them. Hope it is not as big of a wait as my…

Re – Sounds like you need a ‘new’ MD. If she won’t listen to you she isn’t going to let you be ‘your own ears and eyes to your body. That is one thing my children’s pediatrician told me when my boys would get sick. I am the mother and I know when they are acting differently. I’ve upped my exercise by 10 minutes a week;…

:D

Carey – Driving and listening to an audio book (at least here in GA [USA] would be considered ‘distracted driving’), especially if you had both ears plugged in. I can’t pat my head and rub my belly at the same time. I don’t pick up my left foot as high as I should, so stumbling – especially before I lost some weight – was…

It’s a small, small world, after all … we are but a speck of dust in the universe, and that is only speaking of our 'earth'. But, it has been nice to get to know you ladies who live in different countries. Sometimes it is easy to think you are the only one around. I guess crossing state lines in the USA is a lot easier…

The JRT that was the predecessor of "Cracker" was so smart that we could not bring ourselves to get another dog; but, she died in April, we went to Louisiana in August and by October I was missing have a fur baby and the companionship I got from her. I had gone to several shelters, without luck; one would not even let me…

Allie – Woo Hoo! Now make sure you don’t get talked out of it (by Tom); better yet, don’t let it slip out. Proud of you! One step closer to “freedom and able to breathe!” I agree with Yvonne in TX – sorry if we sounded like we were ‘harping’ we just think that you need to protect yourself and what you are entitled to.…

Michele – I hate it when they have a big sign that something is for sale and the price is good; but, get to the check-out only to find they really meant the twin sheets were that price; I told them they could keep them. I was thinking I could use my points and get them for practically nothing. Got my $$$ back and the…

Katla – I love it: "Normally I'm quite normal . . ." The Gods Must be Crazy Penny – My youngest son lives in Louisiana and they started getting ‘black bears’ there … so they are ‘protected’. You better be half eaten before you shoot or kill one. One day he was driving down the road; and, could not figure out what somebody…

Kate – I doubt they care … I got a PM from someone, who turned out to be a ‘man’; and, I point blank asked his why he had gone to a site such as WOMEN 50+ … but, then I realize that he could write a PM from anywhere. I hope I did not ‘scare’ him totally off; but, I did make friends with him. So … we ‘might’ have a man…

Joyce - Thanks! I like to 'rock' and 'roll' - just don't want any 'rolls' ... especially not what they call 'love handles'. LOL! I was thinking "Griffin, GA ... not California. I was ordered by my GYN into a MD-ordered/MD-run Center For Weight Loss Program and have been in it about 16 months. Starting weight on a 5'4"…

Kate UK - Are you still on that site of Women 55-65? Maybe I am too old for it since I will be 66 in March.

gotu52 - One of the reasons some of us open up a word processing program (some us up put the side by side; although where you would usually 'expand' a page; there are 2 pages in the icon. Sometimes I find it easier to expand each, then minimize it so it is easier to read and I don't have to use the side-to-side scroll bar.…

griffinca2 - I grew up in Forsyth ... I am assuming (maybe incorrectly) that you live in the Griffin, GA area from your User Name. I now live in a small town in SW GA (Dawson - about 25 miles N/NW of Albany, GA; where I used to live). Lived in Macon, GA for 2 years and then DH got transferred back down to Albany; things…

MaxandGracie - Up at the top of the posting there is an outline of a star; click on it and it will turn yellow; after that, every time you want to find this thread, then click on the gray star between the gray bell and gear; and, a drop down screen will show up and show a list of all 'links/threads' you have been in, then…

Eleted - Don't know if you can do this or not; but, earlier you talked about posture. Mine is not all that great; and, I really have to make myself 'aware' of not allowing my shoulders to 'droop'. I remember my Mother making me stand up next to the wall; and flattening out my posture, keeping my head, neck, shoulders back,…

HI - This is the first time posting on this thread; I recognize "spikeyhair" from the other thread we are both on ... WOMEN 50+ whatever month we're in - (it changes at the end of the month through a 'link' that is posted by one of the ladies ...); thread is very much like this one after reading through some of the posts.…

Carey - Northern Alberta - My DH swears that I'd make an excellent Darth Vader at Halloween; by wearing a black judge's robe and a black tablecloth over my head while wearing my C-pap machine and plugged in and try to talk. If we were still living in a neighborhood, in town, I would have done this to hand out Halloween…

Becca – Hope you will much better very soon. I had a total hysterectomy when I was 35yo; was not expecting much as they put me on hormone replacement; but, after about 3 months or doing several changes, I told OB/GYN I’d rather NOT take them than put my family at risk of all being smothered in their beds at night. Once I…

Pip – I can imagine they’d be a lot more comfortable than tennis shoes because with each step; you would be hitting directly on those points used in Reflexology. So your feet should not be aS tired as they’d be in tennis or running shoes. I just don’t think I could get my toes into them as my pinkie toe is crooked up under…
