Good morning ladies! Thank you, Barbie, for keeping us rolling along. I always look forward to your monthly intro message. <3 I was glad to hear Annie did well guarding the car while you were at the dentist. Sue - Happy Birthday! <3 Boston Cream pie sounds like a wonderful treat. It will be interesting seeing what…

Beth - hope the surgery goes well and recovery is smooth and easy. Carla - so sorry for your family's loss. I'm no longer surprised when I look at the obits in the paper and see people I know, many younger than me, have passed away. :( Margaret - Sorry the dryer will need an electrical update. I've been meaning to get an…

Margaret - I love what you posted about the brain, and I think it's so true. So neat how it explains it. Going to grab it for my FB page. <3 Barbie - good job getting things accomplished. I'm still using checks with DH's name on them, I so rarely write checks anymore. When I broke my toe a few days after DH passed, only…

Barbara - thank you, I remembered you had a similar problem. Mine doesn't completely lock, it just slightly "catches" when the machine is empty for a while, and I raise the lid. Did yours start out that way? My thought was to just remove that plastic clip but then maybe the machine wouldn't work at all. :s Interesting…

Heather - Dawn "The Minimal Mom" came up in my feed this morning. I watched that video and then her husband's. I'm glad she and the kids are able to live with her parents. Lisa - thank you for sharing the "before" and "after" photos. Amazing difference, you lost not only pounds but years as well I think, and your beauty…

MFP Weekly Check-in for January 27, 2025 Rita in Roswell NM - Up .6 this week but had a lot of salt yesterday. I started back walking 20-30 min a day. Did 3 days last week and will add more this week. I need to work on portion sizes still. That’s my biggest downfall. Debbie in Napa Valley CA - down just a few ounces-…

Margaret - I think you will really like your Speed Queen washer. Funny you mentioned the lock. Mine does have the lock, when I bought it the salesman 5+ years ago, he said they were now required to have them, some safety feature. I wonder if he was bending the truth. I am finding the lock kind of "catches" and sometimes…

Beth - best wishes for a speedy recovery from your upcoming surgery. <3 Did your area get another foot of snow? Margaret - I loved the examples you gave about joy. Looks mighty cold where you are - neat snow sculptures!! Also I've been meaning to mention I have the book "Why we sleep" you mentioned on hole at the library.…
-
Rebecca - how neat that you've met a fellow singer and walking buddy to boot, plus a new gal to have lunch with. <3 The stars lined up wonderfully for you! Lisa - loved Corey's response. He absolutely deserves coffee in bed. <3 Kindness and consideration go a long way in keeping a marriage happy and partners content. ;)…

Allie - bloodwork done for the transplant team? Did I miss something? That short style is very becoming on you. :) Barbie - glad you are getting your steps in and exercise. I'm finding it's easier and easier to just put off until tomorrow what I can't tackle today and be at peace. <3 Lisa - I see YouTube has a lot of…
-
Terri - stay safe! Rita - I wish the teleporter hadn't ended up in scrap pile, I'd have it pick you up and come help me with these laptops. I'm sure you're right, it was installing the new W11. Since the "ready to be installed" icon in the bottom tray had disappeared, I figured it was a done deal. Makes a lot of sense that…
-
Lisa - that photo of Egg watching the cat show is priceless! Barbie - Glad things are moving along for you, nice the investment fellow will come pick up the certificate and save you a trip. I have another Britbox favorite in addition to Vera (Heather and others have mentioned Vera too). It's "The Bay" I just finished…

Good morning ladies! Annie - how wonderful to wake up and see a post from ya! Sounds like you've been making do, hope the med helps your dad and YOU get better sleep. Your weather is probably too chilly to take him out for walks in the woods to wear him out. (((HUGS)))) Barbie - I think about you every single day. You are…
-
Good morning ladies! Just chilly here compared to what most of you are going through. ;) We had a low of 19F yesterday but had sunshine so the thermometer hit 40. Warmer today, looks like low 24F, daytime inching up another sunny degree. No wind to speak of. Will take it. Kay - I laughed out loud at the nicknames you and…

MFP Weekly Check-In for January 20, 2025 Rita in Roswell NM - Down .1 of a pound this week. No exercising yet, still coughing too much to walk much. Another week of healing then I think I’ll be back to it! Debbie in Napa Valley CA - weight the same. A bit disappointed after a lot more exercise. Walked a total of 50 miles…
-
Margaret - ((HUGS))) I think you are right, your friend's wound is so fresh, she is focused right now in terms of who's a widow and who isn't. I remember the first 6 months after DH died, I mentioned that I was a widow a lot to people who didn't know him and who didn't really know me. This is the first time I've realized…
-
Carol - so glad your DH is nearly at the end of BnL's estate tasks. Seems like it turned into quite a big job. Heather - I've been thinking about your friends who had brain scans. Is that a common procedure in the UK? Amanda in KY - I'm a former farm girl - raised on a farm in N. Indiana and my DH and I had a farm in SW…
-
Barbie - glad your visit with the attorney went well and things are moving along. Unsettling to not be sure of the next step with this stuff. Very proud of Annie for being a good girl while you left her in the car. <3 Kylia - I remember reading that nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs. Good for you paring it down.…
-
Rita - so glad you were able to get in to see the doc and get antibiotics. Hope they work quickly. Also happy to hear you got that shipping confusion with UPS and your PO box cleared up. Hope they are able to make deliveries just fine to your campground. Lisa - sorry this is happening to your daughter. Don't blame you for…
-
Ladies, do you ever wish you could hit the "HUG" button twice? Carol - welcome to the world of house walking! :p Michele - thank you so much for the Annie update. So sad about her losing Teddy. :( Lisa - I used to be 5'9" and have shrunk down to 5'8". I still wear size 14 jeans! I once saw a photo showing several girls and…
-
Rori - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I smile every time I read about your time spent with N. What a lovely, lovely relationship. Heidi in NC - welcome! Elderberry, zinc and Vit C are my go-to as well when I feel like I'm coming down with the crud. I took a lot of Zicam when I flirted with Covid last September and was over it in a…

MFP Weekly Check-In for January 13, 2025 Rita in Roswell NM - Down 2.5 pounds using this plan in a week. I have not done the activity however, because I’m still battling this cold, but still, for a week? I am proud of the result! Week of 1/11/25: 1. Use My Plate by measuring and logging food in MFP 1/7 1. Eat fruit not…

Carol - My DH had bad circulation was always cold too. He'd crank up the woodstove so hot I would have to open windows in the kitchen and bathrooms. :# Rita - hope the doctor can give you something for your pain in the neck sore throat. Pip - nice trailer for sure, and also nice they move it for you, so you don't need…
-
Tina - good to hear from you. Hope the high winds have stopped and your area stays safe. Will be praying for some rain for SoCal!! Heather ((((HUGS))). Hope Velux can get that broken window taken care of ASAP. What a nightmare - no going barefoot for a while. Sorry to hear about your son's best friend and boss. :( Kylia -…
-
Rita - hope you are feeling better and are able to rest up. That desert snow is beautiful. Pip - sorry the colonoscopy didn't get accomplished. Kay - glad your knee is healing so well. :D Had you not had the walker there, you probably would have needed it. :p Kim - smart thinking giving the sales callers the phone number…
-
Barbie - glad you have your attorney's office to help you navigate all of this. I found the staff at my county auditor's office very helpful. Vicki - I don't blame you for not being interested in that phone sales job. I wouldn't want to take the abuse, lol. Good to hear you can keep your car in a warm spot. Lisa - BRRR!…
-
Pip - happy Birthday to Yogi! He's doing well for 11. Hope tomorrow goes smooth. Be good to get it out of the way. Carol - sorry that your husband is having a rough time. That's a LOT of pills. Did his cardiologist have any dietary or exercise recommendations? Did BnL's estate stuff get settled? As I recall, there was an…
-
Debbie - that's great news about your MIL's "home". It will be interesting to see if she gets along with everyone there and only acts nasty when your DH visits. Crossing fingers, she settles in there just fine. Tracey - so sorry about the furnace and your fridge. How old was the fridge that died? What a nuisance to have to…

Mo- the health food store finally raised their price on the Ezekial bread a dollar more per loaf than Walmart. I knew it couldn't last. :p It's high-protein and high fiber, made from sprouted grains, not just regular flour. I love the taste - it's "hearty" for sure. I'll try to post a link here.…
