@quilteryoyo....your description of the ocular migraines is spot on....like wavy watery lights....I don't do drugs but I assume that "shrooming" would be like this. I do do shrooms but only with garlic and butter and a nice strip steak haha! @elise4270 the driveway looks good but agree that they need to finish it....lots…

@Avidkeo OMG....I am now cramping up after reading that.... must be sympathy pains!! I hope it helps!! Love the picture - so pretty! @shanaber agree....the one pro of menopause is no worries about pregnancy. But for perimenopause, according to my OB-GYN, a ton of late age pregnancies occur if women think they aren't…

@ddmom0811 I failed to respond to your posts....so exciting for the newest grandbaby...keep us posted! And congrats on the stable weight. Awesome!! @shanaber Yes....I was actually doing a hard ride when the news hit that RBG died and my phone lit up....I did not look until after I was done and was devastated. And I heard…

Happy Saturday!! @Elise4270 sorry about your leg and nerves...sounds painful! Lunch ideas....I tend to just grab easy to go stuff ....like nuts, string cheese, apples. I should have @ddmom0811 salads....I need more vegetables. @quilteryoyo Hope tennis was fun and the good weather continues @Avidkeo glad your on the mend…

Hi all: Where did this week go? Geez....I look up and its Friday and I haven't checked in all week. I had 2 nights out this week - book club in the backyard - only 4 showed up and a birthday dinner last night at a local restaurant that had a big deck. The tables were spread out but we were kinda squeezed in....now I am…

OMG....thanks for basically ruining my sleep for the next week! Scorpions and tarantulas! Jeez!!! We have scorpions weekly in my house. Last week I wash washing my face and the went to grap the wash cloth off the counter next to me and yes....there was a little bugger sitting on it.....that would have not gone well!…

@elise4270 Find some Brene Brown....dialogue is really important....and that chatter in our heads can be really negative. Also saw this on Amazon and it caught my eye: StoryJacking: Change Your Inner Dialogue, Transform Your Life Kindle Edition. For the assignment, just make up a story....they'll never know.

@quilteryoyo OMG....I have the creepy crawlies! glad you got her in to the vet....and will have the critters gone! @Elise4270 I am getting my flu shot today.....I hope I don't have a sore arm on Sunday....and I need shingles...I hear thats a bear. I might wait to not send my immune system into a melt down. Bear is a…

@shanaber Your waterbed story reminded me of a really funny story told by a friend. He had a job setting up waterbeds in peoples apartments back in the day. Tells the story of one guy overfilling his, breaking the frame and the thing basically blocking the door to his apartment (very small place) in the northeast. He…

@shanaber Cute hair! I like having the length to pull it up and off my sweaty face and neck! I used to pay tons for waves like that.....finally gave up and leaned to love my stick straight hair....I finally mastered the flat iron to get a few "beach" waves when I actually want to look ok...glad the Santa Ana's haven't…

Hey y’all @Elise4270 love the haircut!!! It’s fun to see what people look like! @quilteryoyo with pets, I finally went tile. We had several different types of tile and wood in our current house - looked like a bad flooring showroom. Ended up picking a wood look tile with large planks! It’s awesome. People love it. Dog…

@Elise4270 I thought they were big too....I passed the diabetes tests they do during pregnancy so I was surprised. But Son ended up being off the charts from day one. Still is at 6'5". My husband jokes about the UPS guy but he looks like my side of the fam lol. And I finally got a lactation nurse to visit and help me deal.…

Hi all: Busy week with work and the first of the month. Also catching up on missed exercise. Glad its Friday and a longish weekend....my house is a mess. Took me 2 hours to fold and put away laundry this morning. Elise4270 so sorry for grief that seems to appear out of the blue....glad you can talk about it here and try to…

Hi all: yes....@ddmom0811 I saw that story about the kids and taco bell. I think Wifi should be universal, and paid for via taxes ie government funded. Just enough bandwidth to check email, apply for a job, pay taxes, and do online learning. If you need more then you can pay to upgrade. It's become necessary to do anything…

OK....I am now a skat expert....dog, cat, ferret, raccoon.....hmmm. I can tell you the latrine thing is real. We were the proud landlords to a ring tailed cat - a little viscous raccoon relative, in our attic. We heard him last year. They are nocturnal and tree-climbers so he/she managed to get crawl up the trees near the…

Hi all: Just back from a great trip!!! Will check in later! Look what just showed up at my door!!

Hi runners: I have been absent since I am not running enough to really post much here. But I still check in and I just want to express my deepest sorrow and condolences for @pastorvincent. I really appreciated his dry sense of humor and his running advice. He will be missed. 🙏🙏🙏

Just checking in and I have no words regarding @PastorVincent . Heartbroken for his family, and virtual friends. I appreciated his dry sense of humor and great running advice. He will be missed. :'( We are heading home tomorrow early. It's been a good vacation since I really prefer to stay active. I can't lay on a beach…

Hi Peeps! Wow....read through all the posts....its amazing! Everyone has crap going on and yet you all seem to work through it, shake it off, and keep on keeping on! Strong people right there. Refreshing too! A appreciate this group so much! @quilteryoyo Sounds like a busy day and sometimes the eating thing just gets…

Hi Ladies: I have been out of pocket - kids flew in Wed and Thursday and we have been "blowing and going" ever since - hiking every day. J left today and Z leaves tomorrow. I will have 2 days of recovery to work on stretching, strength etc while DH works. I plan to read all the posts and catch up! Hope everyone is ok.…

Hi all! Happy Sunday from CO. We are surrounded by fires but they are far away....just a bit smokey when the wind shifts. It's just another square on the 2020 bingo card, with pandemic, killer hornets, hurricanes, earthquakes.....what'd I miss? So happy for all the great news on weight losses, IRS resolutions, jobs,…

I'm sorry I have been off for a while...busy week trying to work 2 weeks in advance as to what might come up and get it done early, 2 doctors appts, packing for 2 weeks yada yada yada. I did a quick read of all the posts. Cool XRays, Stressful Neighbors, Covid in NZ due to stupid Americans....did I miss anything.…

I like @quilteryoyo 's suggestion. See if there are any services for her through the community. A group home sounds scary right now and she might like/need to be near the work being done. This is a lot that you will be taking on. So sorry....for both of you.

Well this has been an informative thread the past 2 days LOL! @shanaber sorry about your friend's leak...you are a great friend! Glad you are back to your full exercise routine! The bra thing.....I have some funny stories.... We are driving to Vail, Co for 2 weeks starting Friday. Rented a Duplex in West Vail on the River.…

I was a runner and did gym strength and yoga workouts. Then I was hobbled due to a femoral stress fracture in Feb and then decided to get a Peloton since I was told I could do non-weight bearing exercise only for 3 months - no walking or running for fitness, only swimming or cycling. I had lost almost 20 lbs at that point…

@Avidkeo OMG...so very sorry to hear that about your patient. And totally makes sense to be in that state....so much unknown and uncontrollable right now. Therapy sounds like a great plan.... @quilteryoyo Of course birthday anything is calorie free....or at least guilt free. It's a universal rule. I made the NYT sheet pan…

@quilteryoyo....Happy Birthday...sorry I missed it but so cool that you celebrated with 6.1!! the cutest lil girl....love her birthday outfit! Reminds me of a memory of my kids first birthdays. We set the cake with the single candle down on the high chair tray to take a picture and of course, Zach grabs it....Mother of the…

Hey ladies: Missed a few days...the first week of the month is busy for us bean counters....will head out for my very slow run and check back in once I have caught up with all the happenings....

@ddmom0811 Haha...feel good ride.....They talk to you about how you should love yourself and play great music, all while kicking your 🍑 lol! Hope the storm steers clear of you and the job calms down soon! Nice running too! @Elise4270 Cats and men....seem to lose weight easily :s and to you and @RunsOnEspresso thanks for…

Hey all....Happy Friday. Thanks for letting me vent. This doctor is pretty good and she knows that I know what's up and where I stand re fitness etc. I just want to make sure that she is not suggesting a drug unless it's really a reward that outweighs the risks. I need to find some people who have been on it. I am so…
