Barbie - I was going to post a reply and "quote" your post above, but looks like the ability to cut & paste & shorten it up is gone. I'll keep looking though. I thought spoiler was gone but found it in the "paragraph" symbol a couple layers in. I agree about too many faces and symbols to choose from, really miss the small…

Kylia - yes, this new format is a challenge. I'm looking for the "preview" which seems to have disappeared. These tech kids can't leave well enough alone! Ginny - sending (((HUGS))). I'm sure your presence in helping your SIL deal with your DB's failing memory and health is very, very much appreciated. The English pub…

Vicki - <3 Belated Happy Birthday! <3 Sorry the bank job didn't work out, but I believe everything happens for a reason. Glad your DH is getting PT, even though it delays his return to work. Even a couple days of warm spring-like weather is such a nice boost. ;) Tracey - you brought back memories of when my grandfather…

MFP Weekly Check-in for March 3, 2025 Rita in Roswell NM - Almost forgot to do this! Weight up .5 this past week. Just not there yet. Too many life things getting in the way of taking care of me. Debbie in Napa Valley CA - up again this week, but only up .2 so 150.8. Need it to go in the other direction. Good chance this…

RE - welcome back!! Sounds like you are super busy. We haven't heard from several of the ladies that were in the group back when you were here frequently. JanetR, for example. Sorry to hear about your DH's passing and Heather is right, several of us have lost our DH's in the past few years. So now we are making our own…

Happy Birthday Barbara!! <3 And an early Happy Birthday to Rita - Monday? <3 Lanette B) Sunny SW WA State

Barbie - thank you for the new month! Isn't it nice to be able to walk your girls in the morning with the earlier sunrise? By the way, how often do you have to replace your walking shoes? Is your walking trail paved, dirt or both? One good thing about house walking - less wear and tear on my shoes, but I'm looking forward…

Yesterday was an absolutely glorious spring-like day. Sunny, up to 65F in the afternoon. Got my early morning shopping done, then home to tend to laundry and hung it outside. Then drove down to the feed store to pick up some scratch for the hens. The "feed store" is actually part of a barn filled with huge bags of feed for…

I got caught up on everyone's posts from yesterday and meant to start one early this morning. Then I had to take Rosie to the groomers, and the day got away from me. Filtered sunshine but it's warm and the lawn and chicken run are drying off. I managed to clean off the "seeding shelf" in the garage and get the heat mats…

Debbie - sorry to hear about your X-MIL, she sounds like a great lady and quite a change from your current MIL. I have had a couple instances where you ladies send me your information and it floats around in outer space for half a day and sometimes never arrives at all. Happy Birthday Carla! Have a wonderful day!! <3 We…

MFP Weekly Check-in for February 24, 2025 Rita in Roswell NM - I’m giving up actively dieting for now. Stress too high with move and family. Just going to try to eat healthy and deal with stress. Barbara on the Southern Oregon Coast – WT still creeping up (134.3), Feb average up a half pound from Jan. Looking back at 2024,…

Rebecca - I remember Prudence and how it was such a challenge for her and the help you lovingly provided before it became too much. Glad you were able to get her referred to services that could help her. Lynn - I just checked out Get Fit with Rick. Love his accent, the scenery and the moves. Agree he's a nice change from…
-
Flea - so glad things are good with your son, I'm sure you're right. You two just needed time together. Tracey - Ack, I got behind. You did so well in your class - walking for graduation seems very fitting, and you certainly earned the honor. Love those shirts, by the way. Ginny - wishing you the best at your doctor's…
-
Ginny - sounds like your thyroid/tumor situation is being well monitored. Hope the heat and ice get your back straightened out. I'm like you with paying by credit card or cash, have locks with all three credit bureaus, check bank and credit account statement once each day and often pay off the credit card mid-month. One…
-
Heather - thank you for the painting info. In 1995 I painted a "Granda Moses" type scene of our farm - the barn, sheep, llama, dog. I thought I had it scanned but cannot find the .jpg. I believe I painted it with acrylics. One of these days I'll just take a photo if I can't coax the scanner to work and post it here. Funny,…
-
Lynn - so sorry. Libby let you know it was time. Glad you were able to get her in quickly. I think I'm not the only of us here reaching for a hanky. Boxers are such neat dogs, loved that you'd had four of them! <3 Barbie - your crockpot meal with chicken thighs, black beans and mole sounds wonderful. Would you mind sharing…
-
Heather - glad the Velux window is fixed, hopefully they'll all last forever! Please tell me a little bit more about how you use those watercolor brush pens. Specifically, do you first do a light pencil drawing of the painting and then fill in with the color? Did you order them from Amazon? Machka - sounds like you'll be…
-
Mo - I am so glad you are here with us! You are such a great medical resource, and I know I've learned a lot from you. Lynn - you and your DH have done an amazing job keeping Libby going for 14 years. Prayers for wisdom and give Libby hugs and kisses from us. <3 And it's neat your hubby is also on the eating/workout plan.…
-
Lynn in NC - Welcome! Glad your new job is turning out OK, and hope your doc can get the meds figured out. You've come to the right place. Several of us here are also working on getting our A1C back down and a couple of us are on a diabetes prevention program. Rita here has a good online program she follows and I'm taking…
-
Betsy - good job getting those taxes done. I went back into TaxAct yesterday, found a few entry errors and it's looking better, thankfully don't owe. In the meantime, I also started the free 1040 form yesterday on IRS Direct File and ran into a snag - it isn't able to process income from 1099-R's yet. BUT that upgrade is…
-
Lisa - we share the same brain sometimes, lol. That's exactly what I did when I needed to "scan" a few things this morning, was able to crop the photos, save them as .jpgs and it worked for my purpose. They were a little off-center and the lighting was iffy, but I got it done. By the way, I wanted to mention how impressed…
-
Lanette, might there be a little USB port on your printer? Maybe all you need is the cable? Way cheaper than investing in a new printer! Since I’m so paranoid (no financial/banking/information done on any wireless device) my printer is cable connected to my laptop, whose wifi radio has been turned off forever ;} Barbara -…
-
Debbie - Safeway had a big sale on broccoli so I loaded up on it. $.99 per pound. I have a question that maybe your DH can answer (or anyone else on here). The broccoli is so clean - no dirt, unlike the broccoli I've grown at home before. So I'm wondering - is this broccoli grown hydroponically? How do they get it so…
-
Debbie - yes, I seem to get pretty good germination on 5- and 6-year-old tomato seeds. Somewhere around here I have a chart with the expected germination life of garden seeds. Margaret - that extreme cold is dangerous. Glad you have that little heater for additional warmth. Take care! Barbie - Jake had so much going on in…
-
Cindy - if you want to get in on the "weekly check-in", I just send YOU a friend request, so check your MFP mail - sometimes it's slow for some reason, hopefully you'll get it within a day. Ladies who want their info listed usually send it to me on Sunday or by noon my time (Pacific time) each Monday. Or whatever day of…

MFP Weekly Check-in for February 17, 2025 Debbie in Napa Valley CA - 150.6 but was wearing pj's so will say 150.0 Same as last week. Rita in Roswell NM - Up again this week. I’m still giving in to my mood. I know what I need to do, I just have to get the ambition to do it! Kylia in Ohio - I am frustrated. Scale said 136.2.…
-
Good morning ladies! Barbara - thank you for your info regarding your seed starting. Let us know if anything pops up. My setup is similar to yours and I need to get the shelf in the garage cleaned off one of these days. I generally have better luck than I expect using older tomato seeds. I have older lettuce seeds in my…
-
Good morning/afternoon/evening ladies - ACK! I think I'm 2 days behind in reading posts! I did a quick run through, and a couple jumped out at me, hope to get back to them it later today. You gals have been busy!! Barbara -wow, your seed starts are impressive. I think always wait too late to start lettuces and leafy things…
-
Good morning ladies! Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. <3 Yesterday I was busy dealing with more snow/slush which thankfully is melting and should be gone by the end of the day today. The slush is frozen in places and super slick, I just found that out when I went to check on the hens. :s I decided to take a run at…

<3 <3 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY <3 <3 Michele - glad you caught that toilet leak in the bathroom. We had the same thing happen in the master bath toilet during Covid, ended up just turning the water completely off as it was leaking all the time. Had to call a plumber who brought a new toilet with him and took care of…
