Annie-Congrats on the loss and increasing your times! Kelly-Wow! That’s a great loss and a lot of squats. Dia_R-7 pounds in a month is commendable! Congrats. Yesterday, I walked 3.6 miles to have coffee with a friend. On the way back, I decided to take the bus. I tripped (not paying close enough attention) and scraped my…

This building looks remarkably close to the Los Angeles Philharmonic building (Walt Disney Concert Hall). So I looked it up and yep, also Frank Gehry. It's a lovely venue for the symphony. Tina in CA

Barbara-I posted in last month, forgetting the date switched, but if you haven't sent the note to Katla, please include me. What a wonderfully nice thing to do. Tina in CA

Barbara-What a nice thing to do. If you haven't already sent it, please include me. Tina in CA

House buying-Here, the market is wild. Houses are on the market one day and off the next. If you wait, you miss it. So, you have to get pre-approved for a loan and have an idea of an offer that you make pretty much on the spot, most likely above asking and over your budget. If you do manage to get a bid in, there is always…

Rebecca-Glad to hear the visits with your sons and family went well. Loved the photos. Thanks for sharing! Heather-I enjoyed your list of places traveled. I have a big gap in Africa and the Middle East. I have a reasonably sized one in South America too. But I have been to some places many people I know have never even…

I make coleslaw dressing using mostly plain yogurt, apple cider vinegar, salt & pepper, about a tbsp. sugar, and a little bit of mayo for structure. Maybe I'll put some cayenne in it from time to time depending on my mood. You can thin it out with lemon or lime juice if needed. Tina in CA

Well, 2 days later and the migraine is finally gone. Thanks for the good wishes. I really enjoyed hearing the stories of your exes! I have a friend who believes there is always "one that got away." Anyway, I will be tossing the photos of my exes, since I don't have a Lifetime Movie love story that involved any of them that…

Lanette-I don’t think it’s a floater in my eye. I don’t see anything “floating.” It is much worse when I get migraines. For a while, I felt like it was improving, but this week I’ve had a significant issue. But this does bother me. I am going to go to an ophthalmologist as soon as my new insurance kicks in. Right now, we…

While you're all decluttering, what do you all do with photos of your exes? Do you keep them for any reason? I have a bunch from WAAAYYYY back, but I'm wondering if there is a reason to keep them that I'm not considering. Tina in CA

Tracey-I like the single cabinet. It looks uncluttered. Your grades are excellent, but I understand the disappointment. At this point, I would be happy if I got Cs in a class, because getting As is stressful and once you’re done, no one cares about your grades. April-You should see results, especially with sleep pretty…

This is indeed frustrating. I have found many misplaced items in the refrigerator. You mentioned groceries. Maybe it fell off when you were putting those away. Tina in CA Edit: Just read that you checked already.

Barbara-How about “move more better.” Thinking-Generally I do a lot of thinking in the shower. I plan a lot of meals, create recipes, write drafts of my work, etc in there. It’s undistracted time. Rebecca-I’m so glad you’re having time with the boys! I know you’ll enjoy every minute. Tracey-If you were in Texas and didn’t…

We have a pair at one of the lakes we hike. We also have a pair on another trail we hike. We don't often see them, but we do see them from time to time. Tina in very wet CA

Well, I heard there was a tornado warning here a few days ago, but never got a notification. Today, I did. The rain is coming in buckets at the moment. Being from the Midwest, I don't see this as tornado-y conditions. Interesting weather we're having. Today is roast all the veggies in the fridge before they go bad day. The…

This spoke to me. Tina in CA

Good day to all! Allie-Sorry for your loss. Your aunt sounded very special. Kim-sorry to hear about Levi. :'( Those of you having aches and pains, I send healing vibes! Speaking of aches and pains, I may actually be getting my chronic feet pain under control. Or maybe my body has just accepted it and I don’t feel it…

Tracey-I love the cards. Almost makes me want to start making cards. Michelle in NV-So sorry about your grandmother. I hope everything turns out as she wishes it to. Also, it's raining cats and dogs here. Get ready! Every year (and throughout it) you all remind me I need to get my backside in gear with all the estate…

Good morning! I had a lovely time meeting and walking the boardwalk with Rori. It was so nice to meet one of you. I hope I get to meet more of you at some point. Heather and Rita-I like your artwork! I agree, they'd make great greeting cards or towels. Anna-Congrats on the jeans! We are all preparing for another deluge of…

Lanette-I’ve cooked fresh shiitakes and basically use them like any other mushroom. I slice them and toss them in omelette, soups, stir them in a Marsala sauce over pasta, etc. They do have a different texture, but they taste good, especially when mixed with other types of mushrooms. Sorry about your hen. Rosemarie-if you…

Lisa-I am in love with Egg. She makes me really miss my cats (who have all been gone for nearly 15 years). Showers-I hate that I "have" to take them, but once I'm in there, I don't want to get out. And I hate being rushed through my shower. NSV-Since we are somewhat stuck in our home, I keep wandering around looking for…

Rita-Congrats on 6 months sober! That’s a great achievement! Annie-Such a difficult position. He is an adult, however. You can only do so much. Rebecca-You look quite toasty warm in that shawl. It's been raining a lot the past few days. It started on Saturday and rained about .3 inch, then .25 yesterday and today, it's…

Lisa-Love the corner drawers!!! I wish the people who remodeled our kitchen would have used those! Rori-Message received and replied to. Hope to meet you soon! I'm all for meeting in Tasmania! Need to find a business reason to go though. :D Went to a yoga class today for the first time in many years. It was a good one. I…

Vicki-Glad you made it back safely! Debbie-I actually was just thinking about a soda stream. I'll look into it. Tina in CA where it's really warm today (75F/23.9C). The storms come this weekend.

Rori-I’m on your route. I sent you a friend request so we can possibly meet up. Debbi-I’ve tried lemon, lime and other enhancers to the water. It’s still water. Even tea can’t fool my brain. :) I love the sponginess of the halloumi. I made a fab butter chicken tonight for the mister to take to the desert with him this…

Welcome, Sarah. Hop right in whenever you feel it. Barbie-I listened to the series about how Cascateli came to be, but it is just far too pricey for me, especially when I can make fresh Spaetzle in about 10 minutes. One day, I’ll splurge if I actually see it in the store. I don't have a lot going on right now. I am trying…

Ginny-The photo is gorgeous. Thanks for changing your storage for us! 😀 Margaret-so sorry to hear it. Hugs. Tracey-if you close and reopen WTForecast, it’ll change the “blurb.” I think I did it 5 times in a row and then it started over. The movie Inside Out-I started this on an airplane several years ago and still haven’t…

Kate-I have read 2 Robert Galbraith books. I enjoyed them. She wrote some detective novels under JK Rowling too. I tried one just before the holidays and couldn’t get into it. I love Nightmare before Christmas. Disney licensed it many years ago and transforms the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland into a wonderful Nightmare…

Hello to all. Well, it's been raining again, but we don't seem to get enough to make much of a difference. It just makes everything messy. I hope all of you with real weather are staying warm and safe. The gym-I hate them. They're too loud and it takes too much time to get through my workout because I usually have to wait…

That's a lot of weight! Congrats.
