Hi everyone, Just skimming. Barbara, ah if there are not locks on those that makes for an easy-ish solution in theory. In the old days no locked mailboxes, no locked doors...I don't know how it is now everywhere. in my old unlocked -doors town ; a friend who lives there now has alarms with codes he has to turn off when he…

Thanks for the start Barbie ! Barbara I'm sorry about the mailboxes being attacked. Do the mailboxes have locks on them? It looks like they do. Yes showing up for a doctor's appointment and the doctor being sick seems ironic, but I think he was quite ill. It was a work doctor and it took 2h round trip. But there are worse…

BARBARA thanks the dentist's was simple and not painful. Glad you had a nice moment with Joe. HEATHER great job on your writing! TINA I'm sorry you don't feel it. All is relative and personal as you say. The 1.5 of exercise is helping your overall health and probably firmness, muscle, etc., even if it's not too visible so…
-
TINA I think sometimes switching off from family can be great. it depends on families situations, and so on. I bet you are in great shape w 1.5 h exercise per day even if it hasn't shown up on the scale. <3 ALLIE I hope you feel better soon. <3 MICHELE you are so active! with w/O bowling, etc. :)

BARBARA glad you got good tooth care. sorry about the cost. I have something similar (I think) w dentist tomorrow. GINNY Glad to read you are well. I figure I might well already have had COVID. so many people have symptomless versions now. I have gotten tested 4 times in 2 years. 2x this month, 1x a year and a half ago,…

10 000 to spend in 1 hour I think we saw this one a year or two ago. A computer would be easy. Storage, screen, laptop, new printer, scanner, accessories, and some gifts. Easy to spend since the prices go way up there! Meeting V and M at café since V needs a teacher for a few hours in her school and M (young person) is…

ANNIE good job on walking. ANSWERING WHEN UNSURE that is very common here. people always say, something like, "in theory that could be good, can I get back to you on that" or "I think so" or "can I answer you on Wednesday" or "I have to check something can I get back to you on that" or many variations of that. My friend M…

Hi, I made 2 more another king's cake and had another get together yesterday. 9 people this time. was supposed to be 14 but 3 had symptomless or low-symptom covid still going around their little family of 3, so couldn't come, and a couple just canceled at 9 am, saying it was her mom's birthday and her mom was unexpectedly…

Not so easy to get time to read all. Just skimming.

GINNY - the leaves on the cake are made by just tracing them with a knife.

I think a person not in a family nor a couple seems like an extra terrestrial to people who are (understandably) focused on their families, kids, or SOs ! all the more so if living far, far away ! :) :D Not to everyone, but to many! ah, well, such is life!!!! here's a GF cake I made. It was great! Making a couple more this…

HEATHER Great that your SO has been such a boon to your life. I am not counting on someone like that "coming along". (or being found or whatever) if it happens great! otherwise I'll just do my best. RITA I'm so sorry about your son.

had stop at café where I didn't feel like reading the paper and just looked off into space for a while. then walked to the cemetery and back, getting in a good 30 min of ambling and then bought. deluxe pastry: a new one quite tasty. mostly creamy and chocolatey and fruity, not to pastry-y because I can't eat gluten, but a…

MACHKA yes I have blockout curtains too. I didn't have them at all in my younger days but they definitely help. (but also make it a bit less easy to wake up naturally in the morning.) No cat nor SO at present to let in light here or there so that suffices for now. Yes, I had heard that we need to get through the whole…

OMICRON MANAGEMENT had invited a small group around (about 7 people). a few have symptomless omicron. so the get together is put off till next week! I think this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic. here people are getting massive amounts of tests, for the slightest cough. At the pharmacy the person said about 20%…

SLEEP I was a topnotch sleeper (more or less) till about age 45. At about age 40 I used to go to very intense level activity 2 dance classes one evening a week, and then go for a bite most times afterwards with dance classmates. I had trouble sleeping afterwards, but that's about it. Then in mid 40s there was a major…

Hello I haven't posted for 8 days, The 20 new pages of posts since are daunting! As usual I read the 1st few pages after my last post and the last few pages before this post. Thanks for all of you who answered about listening to guided visualisations or meditation. A big range of answers: some not at all, others daily,…

QUESTION do any of you listen to relaxation or guided visualisation or meditation type podcasts, recordings etc ?

insomnia, 3 am, so worked on some unpleasant email stuff. was on stationary bike but so dragging and not enjoying it. only 17 minutes. today today working on editing. not interesting. I think I'll read a bit before to make it interesting. some work is really boring so it's nice to make it better by adding in some…

MACHKA lovely to read about your cat. GINNY writing now but starting back work very soon and have to follow up on mails and things in advance.
-
GINNY I am so sorry about your niece and your family. That is so young. HEATHER I'm sorry about your friend, their families and complexity of it. --- STRICT/STRUCTURED EATING or FLEXIBLE EATING sticking to a strict (or firmly pre-planned) eating plan has never worked well for me. I've certainly attempted that countless…

today I wanted to get to café at 7am and write for 4h between 7 and 1, giving myself a break time. at present I run into a few good friends who come there every day. but I was dragging dragging dragging. I awaken early but am SLOW to get going. I got to the café at around 8:30 or so, but spoke w friends and did this and…

HEATHER you seem really fit! 2.15h of sport per day at 72 is top-notch ! Your cruise - I'd be surprised if there is not an option these days. Bad customer service otherswise. A registered letter is sometimes beneficial if the friendly approach doesn't work. you could have a doctor's note that says due to X and the pandemic…

WORKOUT @kymarai q . I wouldn't say that. I was quite to very active (sports) from late teens till late 30s/early 40 so it kind fo seems like second nature to me. Since some minor health issues at 41 ish (acute, intense, but to be temporary, but seemed to have taken a toll), and then again since around 55ish (food issues:…

Happy New year to all, with best wishes! Warm WELCOME to newcomers. Barbie thanks for starting us off! Koodles for your good habits acquired and here's to their continuation! Ginny nice to read you again. Congratulations on resisting smoking! I'm sorry about the UTI issues. I wish you healthy recovery whether by medical or…

happy holidays to all, whether you like or love them or the opposite. Weight's up today. I thought it would be. my sweat pants felt tight yesterday for 1st time. bummer. getting through days acceptably seems to take priority relative to medium or long term goals.
-
happy solstice. today I fasted and went screen free till sunset. it felt refreshing. I had a sold dinner: I'm in airbnb leaving tomorrow morning so wanted to finish some stuff. 3 small hard boiled eggs, cooked yesterday rice and lentils, zapped veggies, a pastry and a banana.. a bit much with the last two...oh well!…

true about significant others not taking avice/instructions. I once gave some key suggestion to SO and he pretty much tossed it out the window. I didn't say another word on that. it's his life. 4 month later he informed me he had decided to take the suggestion. (major life changing! - we're not together now but I think it…

I'm away for a few days. mixed feelings. it's colder than usual- not sunny. I love to watch sunset and sunrise but there has been none to see so far. I think tomorrow morning we will be able to see the sunrise. here I have always rented a cheap hotel room. for a change I got a tiny airbnb, same prices but there is a…

SUE I'm so sorry about your friend your disappointments about xmas. I hope your son does okay. I just saw a Facebook friend whose young vaccinated daughter has COVID for second time- light case. maybe asymptomatic. She is bummed and exasperated about having to be quarantined again. HEATHER lovely cake and awesome news!
