Joyce - My heart aches for your family. I will keep you in my prayers. Took the first steps for physical activity yesterday. Talked to the PE instructor at Indian clinic. Told her about my problem areas I want to work on. With my un-set schedule working on mom's house, we decided that I could just call day before & drop in…

Lenora - We aren't wearing masks & gloves for this house but we did for the other house. Yes, mom has 2 houses, both full of stuff. The first one had visible evidence of being infested with mice so we didn't enter the house without mask & gloves. My brother died 7 years ago because he inhaled dried mouse urine. Took just 6…

Lillian - Yes I am finding lots of treasures. Letters my dad wrote declaring his undying love to her (lasted maybe 3 years), a photo album with those black pages and photo booth shots (remember) when mom was 11, 12, to 15, all identified with silver writing. Many years ago you could buy envelopes from post office with…

Happy Sunday morning all :) Welcome Janie. This is a GREAT group, very supportive. Maintaining weight loss can be as difficult as losing it. Get your morning beverage and tells us about Janie. Sioux in Tulsa

Kim, what a wonderful idea for the "books". Mine will be Gone Withe The Wind. ☺ Sioux in Tulsa

Lenora - I've done a quilt out of mens ties. Taking them apart was a big job. But finished result was worth it. I did for a church fund raiser. My original stash of ties ran out so put note in bulletn that I would give old ties new life. The ties came flooding in. After top was completed and i had quilt layers together, I…

I keep losing the end of post, even after edit. Floating around in cyber space

OK gang, I'm already planning to make that quilt. One advantage to clearing mom's house is almost unlimited supply of fabrics & notions along with a rainbow of thread colors, even gold metalic to machine embroider titles on the

Good morning all, Just sitting here with 1st coffee catching up with all of you. Seems most of you get to the gym or at spend a significant amout of time in activities. Today I will work on mom's house. I keep thinking how I would MUCH rather ne working on a quilt. There is a silver lining there. Mom taught me to sew when…

Miriam - quilt is gorgeous. All you guys are so busy posting. Ive spent the whole evening catching up and missing "Blue Bloods (I'll watch Tom Selleck any time). Tomorrow is anpther day working on mom's house. Good night to all of my new friends. Sioux in Tulsa

Just got home from playing secretary for day and WOW - over 20 posts. You guys are posting all day! Didn't see one from Clare. Hope she is OK. I'm new on here but I can tell this is a very caring group. That's what Clare needs now. Now I know why my secratary friend can't lose any weight. She doesn't take lunch away from…

Good morning friends, Hope all had a restful night. My plans for today is to play church secretary. My friend is taking a short trip to Branson with hubby so I'll fill in for her. I trained her so Pastor knows I'm qualified. I dont do much, just answer the phone, let people in the door, play games on the computer. Easy…

Clare, so sorry for your loss. I'll keep you in my prayers. I've been here only a few days but everyone makes me feel welcome. They'll do the same for you. Update on creepy, lurking troll - he only made the one contact, I attempted to look at profile but it was private, I rejected his friend request. I think I should…

I see that my comment of weight loss being published in church newsletter is causing several responses. I think I should explain the relationship I have with secretary. She is a friend. We even have our own social group in the church, mature unattached ladies, and we call ourselves Grace Girlz. There are about 8 - 10 of us…

Good morning all. I have a question for all of you. Within a few hours of joining this community I had a friend request, not from any of you ladies but from a young man. His user name is hectorh82. From his pic he is late 20s/early 30s. Have any of you ladies had a similar request? Even at 67 I am leary of this sort of…

I still have to keep a score card to keep all my new friends straight. The picnic lunch suggestion is great. The only problem is that after working amongest the mountain of stuff we have to get out of it for a short break to keep our sanity. I do all of my access to MFP on my smartphone. The phone may be smart enough to…

Lunch today will be a challenge. Have to work at mom's house clearing it. There's no frig or microwave so have to do fast food. Arby nearby so may get a junior. I'll have to consult fast food list. A little background on my mother. She is 87 & lived in this house 35+ yrs. She also is a hoarder. Every cubic foot of space is…

Don't know what happened to my earlier post. Spent 15 minutes typing it but when I hit post button the only thing posted was first line

Good morning all

Katla, MFP system gave me "grammyx23" but I chose Sioux in Tulsa so I prefer the latter. I am Native American and proud of my heritage. Thanks for asking. WOW! This is really a great group of gals. I look forward to getting to know ALL of you better. I have tried to read most of today's posts so this has been a long but…

I'm Lutheran and our church is very litugical. Been a member there for over 50 years. I'm very active and hold an important volunteer position. Sometimes I even tell Pastor what to do

I think I've found a group to stay with. Been using MFP to log food for 6 months but never able to find any posts. My name is"Sioux" and in Tulsa. This morning I created a new group - Determined Diabetics. I'm 67 & have had type 1 for 45years. Have attempted to loose weight many time through the years. I'd try for maybe a…

WONDERFUL. Congratulations. Smart not pushing too far. That extra 2 minutes WILL be there and soon.
