@HappyDonkey75 Sorry to hear about your knee and the other doggo. Hope things get resolved and you both heal! Thanks for the info on muscle mass, etc. I had a male office mate who was 6'2" and thin build. Yet his health assessment called him obese. The numbers don't know everything. Mainly because he was a runner &…

@pridesabtch By the time I'm typing this, your workday will be about done. Hope your day gets better! @HappyDonkey75 Your last post was fascinating (re the scale) to me. I'm a numbers person, although all those numbers from a scale would probably overwhelm me. Sorry about your doggo, but I did have a small giggle as I read…

@HappyDonkey75 Having an older doggo (13yo Rhodesian ridgeback mix) ourselves, I can see her slowing down some. Back in the day, I'd walk her 4 miles, then she'd have zoomies in our backyard. Now we get home, and she wants a nap. But she still loves her walks. Glad you still have yours. @more_freggies76 Hope you are…

Hope you and Tim feel better soon! Recap 4/2 W ~ We had snow overnight but now turned to rain, with maybe thunderstorms later. Oooh boy. ~ Yay, rain ended…

@pridesabtch Congrats on your w-i, you should feel good about that. My eyes popped when you said you don't eat much until evening… that would kill me. I've been a 3-meals a day person since I was a young kid, or my energy is non-existent and I'm cranky, plus snacks if my activity level is up. Recap 4/1 T ~ Noticed my…

Our neighbor cleared the snowplow ridge at the end of our driveway with his snowblower; we'll let the rest melt as temps…

To all my JFTers, new photo with my profile as of yesterday, in an effort to stem the unwanted "friend" requests. Still a female in my pic, just not human. Happy dog LOL (she was waiting for a treat at the vet's office). While I was trying to remember how to change my profile pic yesterday, I found a new option for the…

@Bex953172 Not to be inappropriate but really!?!?! Had me giggling though @TerriRichardson112 Thanks for the suggestion! After a few struggles to remember how I've changed my profile pic (at least 2 years ago), photo now changed. Still a female, just not human. Happy dog LOL

@angf0679 Even though I'm posting to practically strangers, I love when I post updates that I did my "stuff". Just one of the reasons I love my JFTers! I'm leaving noon Thurs for an overnight visit to my folks, and have an OT appt in the morning, so posting tonight for tomorrow… Recap 3/19 W ~ Very crap weather today… high…

A question for anyone who wants to reply: Are you getting lots of "friend" requests on MFP from strange men? Not sure why, but I seem to be getting them frequently. I just decline but what a pain.

Right now I'm so frustrated with various tech issues. Not the reason I didn't post yesterday, it's just today's issue. Argh! JFT 3/18 T ~ Another windy day. Just not wanting to go for long walk with dog. Hubby took her around the neighborhood instead. Good for hubby & dog. Make baked ziti for supper & freeze remaining…
