Kylia - what a great assortment of books - I recognized several of the authors. Sounds like you have a busy weekend! I'm the same way with saving Reader's Digest and Guideposts for a while. Oh, and I save seed catalogues just to see what's new each year, even though I don't plant much of a garden anymore. Rebecca - how are…

Rita - In addition to reading that humongous protein recommendation for protein on that website, one post mentioned calcium intake. Greek yogurt comes out highly rated in the calcium department too. Tracey - were you able to get the mechanic to check out your car? Annie - love that you are such an avid reader - thanks for…

Beth - that sunflower shot should confuse the scammers, lol. I wonder if they'll prescribe your husband PT and/or going to the gym? Your comment about vehicle insurance going to collapse - did you mean the price will eventually collapse or there won't be anyone who sells it? What a situation! I think the price of insurance…
-
Tracey - I'm anxious to hear what your mechanic says. I remembered I once had a car with a "thunk" - it turned out to be something like a tie rod end. I'm sure there are different "thunks", lol. Rita - I would miss not visiting that calf too. Carol - sounds like you made it through the MRI adventure just fine. Hope the CD…

Tracey - I hope your car is an easy fix. At that mileage, you've gotten good use out of it and hopefully a lot more without going too far in the hole. Glad you were able to get to ceramics with Michaela and enjoy time with her. Kylia - glad to hear you have some vacation scheduled. I don't think I could work with family…

Good morning ladies - I watched another interesting ZOE podcast. This one really hit home for me - Alan Aragon (not sure of his credentials but he's been interviewed a lot on various shows over the past year) said that getting adequate (high) protein is important to successfully lose weight. And exercise that builds muscle…

Good afternoon ladies! On the run this morning, lunch with M. She told me about a Medicare scam they got caught up in. Here we go… (Spoiler) Mo - sounds like things are in the works for your DH's job. Some employers aren't good planners (or managers) and make hiring decisions before thinking everything through and leave…

Rebecca - I had to grab a tissue. My heart aches for your sister. She has lost her best buddy. And I'm sure you're right, he's with his Dad now. 😥Such a beautiful animal. Thank you for sharing the photos of him. Lanette 😎 SW WA State

Allie - hope Tracy had a chance to think this over and has removed those remarks from Facebook today. She must have been feeling super stressed. She's fortunate that you have been there to help with the kids as much as you have, both with your time and financially. Do they know the gender of this new little one? Heather -…

Lisa - yes, saw the doc. Full blown UTI - the Uristat must have helped, the symptoms weren't too bad this morning. Orange dye pretty much flushed out of my system throughout the night so they were able to do the test and will send off for culture. In the meantime I'm on Cephalexin for 7 days. She spoke highly of D-Mannose.…

MFP Weekly Check-In 8-18-25 Debbie in Napa Valley, CA - Down 1/2 a pound after going up 2 lbs. I had hoped for better. Was sick most of the week so didn't eat much but still did all my exercise 2 regular Zumba classes, 2 walks around the wetlands and 1 aqua Zumba class- each at least an hour. I will have that same schedule…

I just took another dose. It should be flushed out by tomorrow morning and I won't take anymore. I do think it's helping though - something is, it seems a little better.. I took a Tylenol too. Seems strange I went off the super anti-inflammatory as of yesterday, mostly because I didn't want it to stress my kidneys and now…

Well, I think I've joined the UTI club. Drat. Hit me this afternoon. I found some Uristat in the back of the cupboard - it's old and expired, but I'm taking it. It's turning my pee orange so something must be working, lol. I went online to get a doc appointment this week and guess what…. Dr. Lisa has an 8:30 open tomorrow…

Heather - perfect niche for that painting. It all fits together very well and looks great. Rebecca - Will your oldest and youngest be able to visit you at the same time? And crossing fingers middle son and family can come visit you for a bit. Ginny - sounds like you're getting to know your way around the new community,…
-
Flea - have a great time! Lots of fun things to see on Vancouver Island. 😉 Barbie - again, happy to see you venturing out more with Annie learning to stay home and guard the fort. You often write something to the effect of "use every opportunity to be active." That runs through my mind all the time and gets me lifted out…
-
Carol and Alfie - Happy belated birthdays! Is is just me, or does everyone in this group have the most adorable grandchildren and fur babies on the internet? 😁 I love the photos and reading about what they are up to. Mo - glad your DH has landed a job. Now watch all of the other places he applied to suddenly want him,…
-
Carol - Fairy, my sick hen, has gotten over her crud just fine, except I think her egg factory is now shut down for the season. Pip - Great job keeping your doggies fit. What a beautiful back yard/patio. Looks so inviting and cozy. Annie - A lady in my neighborhood had a TIA about ten years ago. I'm not sure if they put…
-
Rita- what a fun job bottle feeding that calf, and a nice arrangement to help them out - critter sitters are sometimes hard to find. Lisa - so neat that your best friend is a tax preparer. I've spent all day today, off and on, preparing a few spreadsheets to take with me. Plus, they said to arrive 15 minutes early to fill…
-
Beth - looks like a lovely time in the sunflower fields, even if hot. What a great idea. Happy Belated Anniversary. Glad the truck financial situation got settled to your satisfaction. Tracey - I can see how easy it is to get wrapped up in your scrapbook project. I really enjoyed looking at the photos, please keep posting.…
-
Debbie - I wasn't sure how big your mom's place is but I thought that might be the case. I did a little checking, looks like here in WA State a family cemetery plot can be "peeled out" (subdivided in a sense) if it's been officially designated and the family has to be allowed access. Not sure how it gets officially…
-
Carol - so sorry your DH got roped in on the scam. The scammers are so clever these days, even professionals and business owners get taken. Something happened to me a couple days ago. Not that bad and fixable, but still. An ad came up in my Facebook feed for a sweater on sale at Nordstrom Rack. So I clicked on the ad and…

Debbie - when my parents passed away, my sis was the executor for their estate and farm. She kept a portion of the land for her share - deeded that portion over to her - and sold the rest to a neighboring farmer. Those proceeds were divided between my brother and me. Of course, that was Indiana. Pip - what a lovely tribute…

Ange - Happy Birthday! Sorry to hear about your air quality. Margaret - good idea wearing your mask and staying inside as well. Is there any projection on how long that smoke will hang around? Lovely flowers! I can smell the phlox from here, they are some of my favorites. 😍 My Rose of Sharon bush is starting to bloom. It's…
-
Carol - I saw your blonde hair on Facebook. I think it looks very nice. Maybe find out if blondes have more fun?😁 Heather - such a nice walk. So much to see. Love the photos. Hope your UTI keeps getting better. Worrisome and messes up life when you want to go somewhere and not be bothered having to find facilities.…
-
Rosemarie - I'm proud of you being so outgoing and adventuresome. Your travel, book club, upcoming cruise sound great - being around people, seeing new sights. Rita - hope you are feeling better. That old fella in the park that passed away a while back - what became of his trailer and possessions? As I recall, he didn't…
-
Allie - hope you are feeling better. 🤩 Does SMiles still go to daycare? Ginny - when you said "Happy Hour" I immediately thought of "The Thursday Murder Club" - if you haven't read the series, I'd recommend putting it on your list. Folks getting into trouble in a retirement community. I'm with Michele - what's Happy Hour…

Good morning ladies! And just like that the weatherman has changed his mind about 96F here on Monday. Updated forecast on Wunderground is now 83F. A relief. Still 91 on Sunday, (MSN Sunday temps 86F) but after Monday, cooler and cloudy in the morning. Vastly reduces the chances of wildfire in my area. Heather's…
-
Heather - hope John's daughter stays safe. So sad, such devastation. And to have built dreams of living in that area and now this. 😥 Debbie - what weight ankle weights are you using? I haven't put my 8# weighted vest on lately but want to get back to wearing it. Also, I wonder if Walmart will get in any Sherpa fleece 1/4…

Barbara - I'd be glad to send you some of our "rain." It's been lightly showery from what I can determine - at least the deck is wet. Maybe 1/8" of rain in the rain gauge but it's supposed to keep up this morning. No gully washer but should settle the dust and for that I'm grateful. Hope you get some decent rain soon to…
