Pip - What's up with your mom? Lanette

Add me to the list of going a second night with bad sleep. :( It's going to be rainy today so hope to get in a good nap or two. Barbara - welcome back - we've been busy. :p Happy to know you are recovering well. Heather - glad the birthday celebration went well. That cheesecake looks scrumptious. Is the remodel totally…
-
Rita - your DH's reaction (or lack thereof) to your anxiety attack is understandable considering what all was going on. If it happens again, he'll certainly be tuned in and not worry about the campers and their problems. I agree with the others, wine in this case is certainly medicinal. Glad it helped you. Debbie - Happy…

Heather - good good news about your hip operations, cancelling the upcoming cruise, etc. So glad it's all working out and that you have the funds to have it handled privately and not have to wait a year or more. I know you'll do fine with any post-op OT and exercises. Sounds like Easter is handled. :p Ginny - did you have…

Ava - my apologies! I did get your email, it didn't click that it was for today's thread. I'm used to looking for them on Sunday and Monday mornings. Let's try again for next Monday - send me your info any time this week and I'll grab it for next Monday's thread. :p Lanette

MFP Weekly Check-in March 25, 2024 Debbie in Napa Valley, CA - LOTS of walking this week(just over 18,000 steps one day, over 15,000 two or three days) Weight down slightly at 153.2 Kylia in Ohio - Good Morning! My scale said down a pound on Saturday! I was super excited when it still said -1 this morning! I am excited as…

Morning ladies, Ginny - hope the basement guy plans to follow state and/or federal guidelines. I agree with the others, seems like not removing asbestos is what they are advising in most cases. Something not right with these guys. I'm back to house walking again, at a decent pace this time and no zipping in and out of…

Lisa - excellent job on your A1C. When you and Corey bought your place, did you have plans for it to be set up well for aging in place, or has that just evolved through the years? It really does sound perfect with (or even without) the few tweaks you mentioned. Tracey - you are so organized, I love your craft room. I…
-
Machka - good job putting your list together. If you can picture it, let's say "build" it in your head, you'll find what you are looking for like in "Field of Dreams." At least that's the way it's always worked for me. Debbie - yes, spring has suddenly sprung here too. I noticed yesterday the crocosmia sprouted up about 6"…
-
Good morning ladies, Machka - I'm so glad you found a dentist so quickly, hope all goes well. I remember when your DH had his accident, your life and struggles at the time. You became an expert on brain injury. The extent of his recovery has almost been miraculous. I hope he continues to be active and engaging for many,…

Good morning ladies! I'm back on earth today. Got a solid 8 hours of sleep last night plus a nap after supper, lol. I'm staying put. The house was cute, nice smaller size, very well kept except it will need a new roof. There were many things about the property that wouldn't work for me, however, so for now my gut is…
-
Heather - thank you! You are so right - if the opportunity is here now and it works, go for it. T is already rounding up the troops - her husband and son for starters. They have trucks and trailers and like Lisa's Corey, love to do the "guy" stuff. And I could get Collette to come help declutter and deep clean this place.…

I'm up way past my bedtime. Not sure I'll sleep much. My best friend T messaged me this afternoon - the house right across the street from her is for sale. I'm going to go see it tomorrow afternoon. She's coming with me, she's friends with the owner - it's a divorce situation, neither of them can afford to keep it so it's…
-
Ava - got your friend request, good job! Look forward to getting your info this weekend! ;) Lanette
-
Annie - good luck at the optometrist today. I found out a few years ago that since my sis has glaucoma, Medicare will pay for the exam at least. It's astounding what new frames and lenses cost, tho there are inexpensive options in some areas - I'm not aware of any in mine. :( I appreciate what you are sharing as you learn…

Javaplace and others who want to be included in the Weekly Check-in.... Please message your info to me on Sunday or Monday morning. My goal is to post it by noon every Monday - Pacific Standard time or whatever it is these days. :p We have to be MFP friends in order to use their messaging system, so send me a friend…

Barbara - Is the valium for your MRI (which I thought was yesterday?) Did I skip something about an operation? Sending hugs!!! and best of luck for what ever is happening. <3 Lanette B) SW WA State
-
Heather - wonderful news. Always good to have an "in". ;) Joy - your cabbage rolls sound yummy. If I could find that teleporter I'd zip up there for a taste test. :p Good job walking, you'll be in great shape for your trip. Carol - I know BIL's care and decisions have taken a lot of your DH's time, and I think he went…
-
Lisa - Ok I'm intrigued by those Genie bras. I found them on Amazon and Walmart both. I decided to get out a tape measure and actually measure the band and the bust. WOW. Two band sizes smaller than I'm currently wearing, and a cup size bigger. Do you find that sizing is accurate? I will admit the ones I'm currently…

MFP Weekly Check-in March 18, 2024 Sue in WA State - Did my yoga 7/7 times this week, strength and balance 5/5 and made it to water exercise twice. I was able to do two 5 minute walks but sinus infection is making that hard. I need to divorce food from emotion. Thinking about doing some journaling to help with that. I…
-
Lisa - my husband built our raised bed with pressure treated 2 x 4's and after about 6 or 8 years of our rainy weather and with weight of the soil, it is collapsing outward. :'( That was before we knew anything about putting logs/wood/veg debris inside of it before loading it with soil. I think that's a good idea - should…
-
Betsy - safe travels as you head north for the summer. Give your sis a hug from us! Rita - thank so much for the computer input. I recall we had Open Office on one of our machines years ago and it got hung up on the updates or something. Anyhow, wasn't doing the job. It looks like Libre Office has a good reputation.…
-
Machka - it has occurred to me that you'll be in the first day of autumn as we see spring in the northern hemisphere. How did your garden do this summer? Heather - those are beautiful tulips, what a great idea. No bugs, no dead flowers to clean up. :) Barbara - do you think it's normal for one hip to be tighter than the…
-
Debbie - what a shame about that car and the messed up warranty and tow truck fiasco. Hope you made it to your mom's safely and enjoy your time there. Tracey - glad everything is done and you have earned your certification. <3 I love hearing about what you are learning, I think a lot of people would benefit from…
-
Rita - No doubt your DH's miscommunication "skills" are very stressful for you, especially if he's giving wrong info to the campers. Please, please vent here all you want. We are here for you. <3 HUGS <3 Kim is spot on, many of us have been or are going through similar. :( If anyone wants to weigh in here..... looking to…
-
Rori - glad you popped in! Hope the mid-March snow isn't too destructive. Kylia - thank you for the tornado update, glad you and Ginny are safe. Also ((((HUGS))) for that weekend. So much piled on for you to deal with. Glad your DH came around, sometimes we just need to draw a hard line to get their attention and like you…
-
Barbara - glad your shoulder is doing better but that MRI should give direction. Thank you for the Alpha Lipoic Acid recommendation. I checked it out on Amazon, sounds like folks with pain much like mine were getting relief. Sure worth a try. I took an Ecotrin aspirin this morning and it has helped some. But hate taking…
-
Ginny - I'm playing catch-up here. What a nice photo of you and the grands. Glad everyone could get together. Rosemarie - going to the B&B sounds like a fun adventure. Have a great time. Tracey - I'm sure you are right about leaning forward over my laptop and doing other chores makes my upper back hurt. Regarding husbands…

Good morning ladies, I've been researching A1C since mine has crept up into the pre-diabetes range despite changing my eating (cutting out added sugars) and upping exercise right after meals. :( I ran across a short video by Dr. Jason Fung. He's the intermittent fasting (IF) guru who has been working for years with…

MFP Weekly Check-in March 11, 2024 Sue in WA State - Maintained weight at 223 so that is good. ankle is close to 100% so going to try 2 minute walks again this week. Yoga 7/7, strength and balance 6/7, water exercise 1 time last week. Doing better with after dinner eating. Have done it before so know I can do it again.…
