Mo - I saw your Land's End pants were on sale for 50% off so I took a chance and ordered a pair. Also, I loved your husband's "60 Seconds of Hope" this morning. Especially this: I’ve been happily married to an extraordinary woman for nearly 30 years now <3 That's our Mo! <3 Barbie - so happy Jake's daughter was able to…

Good Friday morning ladies! Up early this morning, and working on my 2025 budget. Property tax, electric bill, and home insurance will go up. I'm projecting home insurance will double, and hope I'm wrong, but need to be prepared. Had a nice visit with M yesterday at lunch. We talked about how we now "get it". When we were…

Good morning ladies! Luckily, no storm damage or power outage yesterday in my neighborhood, but the hens are miffed that they weren't able to take their long walks in the back yard due to rain most of the day. Madder than a wet hen and all that. :p I'm having lunch with M today at our favorite restaurant. <3 Looking…

MFP Weekly Check-In for November 11, 2024 Rita in Roswell, NM - Up .3 of a pound this week. My mind and mood just haven’t been in the right place lately. With time, I’ll get back to it. Sue in WA State - Weight is the same as last week. Did well on exercise. Added another chair yoga on Wednesday. That makes 4 days per week…

Vicki - so glad you popped in! I can't remember if I suggested checking with AAA (Area Agency on Aging) in your area, they might have some ideas. Also, you might want to check with an employment agency that hires temps if you haven't already. Sometimes businesses are looking for someone for a few months to fill in for an…

Barbie - what a neat blanket! Is that a seed stitch? Some lucky person will treasure it and appreciate its warmth. <3 Mo - thank you for posting the Lands End pants info. They really do look comfy and I really like the style. How are they around the waist? I still deal with a painful scar from belly button hernia surgery…

Tracey - those houses are so cute. <3 I can see getting something like that instead of a Christmas tree. Lisa - hope your sales go well. Meant to mention how much I liked your latest paintings. :D *Weekly check-in reminder* ;) Seems I've been rushing around all morning getting things finished up before the rain tonight.…

Barbie - so glad you and Jake are over your colds. Some of this crud hangs on far too long. Hope that's it for you both for a long, long time. The smaller pieces of firewood are a great idea. ;) Allie - hope your brother can get situated quickly - being away from Jean has to help. Rosemarie - I once had a good friend that…
-
Annie - (((HUGS))) Being a caregiver for your dad is a 24/7 job. Glad he has someplace to go for a few hours and good you had the alarms installed. I am much more relaxed about the spiffing up that now that I'm retired too. One of the reasons I love to go grocery shopping super early in the morning is that I can throw a…

Flea - Lisa - Rita - thank you so much for that Chromebook input. I see Google has their own spreadsheet and documents. I can open my Excel spreadsheet in it. I think it's up to 15 GB free storage. Up until now, I'd never taken the time to look at all of the Google features, I just concentrated on the email portion. So a…

Good morning gang! Lisa - cute jacket, great color for you. :p What a find! I picked up a nice jacket at Walmart on the sale rack several years ago - it was marked as a medium but was actually a large, maybe that's why it never sold. They were practically giving it away. It's one of my favorites too. Penny - gall bladder…

Allie - it's so sad those fees are going up. Penny is right, the financial times are tough right now. I'll bet you have neighbors who are already on a super super tight budgets and these increases really hurt, they have to make a choice - groceries, medicines, etc. Penny - I hear ya, I thought I had invented stress eating.…

MFP Weekly Check-In for November 4, 2024 Rita in Roswell NM - With everything that has been happening, my weight went up 3.2 pounds since last week. Eating candy and drinking wine has to stop! I’ll get a handle on it. Went for 2.5 mile walk this morning. Once PT starts tomorrow I’ll have more exercises to do. All will…

Good afternoon ladies! Annie - so glad you are doing better. <3 Rebecca- good that you talked to younger son and he got you caught up. Sounds there are good options for him down the road wherever the path leads. I also use ACV sometimes after a shampoo, it helps with an itchy scalp for sure. The only problem I ever…

Barbara - Regarding a Sunset Maple, here's some info: https://homegardeningweb.com/pacific-sunset-maple-tree/ Regarding your TMI UTI - I follow this guy called "Philsmypharmacist" on Facebook and he often gives good tips. If interested, check out this information about the different types of "azole" OTC medicines for yeast…

Rita -thank you so much for the background information on Jim. After 20 years, the campground was his home. In a way, I can understand why he chose to leave campground on his own terms. That was some rainstorm. Hope they can get the bridge fixed soon, they are probably working on the repairs in town right now. Lanette B)…

I just ran across an hilarious obituary. I think I'll start writing my own, this one has inspired me. Since I never had one for DH, maybe I'll combine the two. :p "He is God's problem now..." https://www.robertsonfuneral.com/obituaries/Robert-Boehm-2/#!/Obituary Lanette B) SW WA State

Lisa - that is just beautiful. Love those colors and pattern. Lanette
-
Annie - great news that it's just mild diverticulitis. Now you'll know what to look for/how it feels if it recurs and to get to the doc quickly for antibiotics. Barbie - sending hugs. Hope Jake feels good enough to come back home. Rita - so, so sad to hear about Jim. Where did they expect him to go? That park was his life.…

Barbie - thank you for bringing us into November. Hope nothing serious for Jake - I'm sure he'll be under good care at the hospital. (((HUGS))) Lanette B) SW WA State
-
Mo - you are rocking it! Great job with the step aerobics and getting all of your activity in. I'll bet it helps decompress the stress you get at your job. Lisa - love the photos of Egg and reading about her antics. The neatest cat we ever had was a gray one, Egg's twin, who showed up as a stray starving kitten at the…

Dr. Lisa just messaged me the results of my blood tests taken yesterday: Your labs are looking good. Your Ha1c has decreased from 5.8% to 5.7%. Your TSH is normal. Your kidney function and electrolytes are perfect. Your Vitamin D is excellent at 83. I should be getting the print-out by the end of the week. I was hoping my…

Annie - good luck at the doctor today. Crossing fingers this episode is over for you and you can keep it under control. Sorry to hear about Teddy, hopefully he's better soon. After trying many different pet stain and odor removers on my carpets, I discovered sprinkling and working in a little baking soda over the stain or…
-
Allie - thank you so much for the input on WellCare. Good to know their drug prices are reasonable. Carol - yes, my DH was raised Catholic. Altar boy, parochial school up to grade 9. When he went to public high school, he got in with a rough crowd and things changed. I never knew him to attend any church after that. He…
-
Katiebug - Happy 70th! Did I read that correctly? Who's that good looking 40 year old in the photo? ;) Carol - I love your beautiful back yard and your maple tree is gorgeous. I should have taken a photo of my sunset maple which had brilliant red and orange leaves a few weeks ago. One of the best things about fall. That…

MFP Weekly Check-In for October 28, 2024 Rita in Roswell NM - Up .8 from last week. Not walking as much as I could or should. Not eating well either. My mood has been down in the dumps lately which isn’t helping. I will get back to it. 173.1 today. All time high since on MFP-210, high this try was 186, so still down 13…

Vicki - I think transferring the phones and alarms out of state is NOT a good idea. I guess they'll learn the hard way. There's a lot of benefit to having the phone answering on the premises - you and your employees know and understand how the hospital works, what calls are really important, what to do when there's a…
-
Heather - as I read through Shanahan's list, I immediately thought of you and how you shop getting fresh meat from a butcher shop, fresh veggies organic foods when available, and the ability to walk to these stores is icing on the cake. A low-stress and joyful environment. I'm always glad when you share this and I can…

Margaret - have you ever heard of the Weston A. Price Foundation? Founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Weston A. Price. Nutritionally dense food that our ancestors ate and thrived on. I think Dr. Berg and other nutrition advisors follow their guide, at least partially.…
