Hmm seems to be a late night or mid of the night awakening kinda thing today. Awoke in the middle of the night to use the restroom (normal and routine) but husband heard me and got up to talk about a problem that had been keeping him from sleeping. (very unusual). We sorted that problem as best we could, unsatisfactorily…

Kidd Kirby and brother Jackie Kane take the cutest naps

Fantastic! It is a great goal and good for you!

Lanette I’m going to have to check but I think Victor Longo (“The longevity diet”) said something about fasting and that not being recommended for the over 70 crowd. Him or Michael Mosley. I’ll do some digging and see if I can find anything. As for heavy/lighter weights, I mostly listen to my body. Once a week I do the…

Okie I was wondering- have you upgraded Your Apple Watch OS two version five? Because I did and my watch is now crediting me with a lot more exercise and activity minutes. This dismays me because I know it is incorrect and it was closer to correct before. Even in the Apple Watch 4 0S it’s estimates were too high. So I…

Lenora your story about Craxker really touched me. What a loyal and loving fur-baby you have! Rye

Was sent home from jury duty yesterday and got that haircut. Found out that if I have it cut dry it costs $5 less so it was 25 including tip. Since I can’t drive and have to go to a place within walking distance I consider myself lucky to have such an inexpensive place. Still,I generally only get the hair cut about once a…

Muscle memory my motor coordination disability was described to my mother ( in the 1970’s - so I’m sure there is better info now) as my brain saying one thing but as it sends the signal to my muscles the signal gets corrupted going through some abnormal synapses. Fine motor control is much more affected than my gross motor…

I’ve been hoping all is well for Wendy too, she sure seems To have used her retirement to ramp up everything! That is so awesome! Lanette, Lisa, Penny et al I think it was Karen who mentioned with true friends sometimes one DOES do all the talking. Other times they might do all the listening. That, to me is normal. So is…

Kylia Welcome home, it sounds like you had a great vacation! KimOh my heavens, your mom sure can talk! Not sure how I’d cope,your game sounds like a healthy response. Rye

Rita what a lovely sunset! Rori I should look into Instagram for Kidd Kirby (& friends) - I never thought if it. Mars’ bandana is of planets, yes? :). I will make sure to have Kidd look for Mars if he likes Instagram - lol. Odd that the ‘sinkhole’ moniker struck a chord. I find them more troublesome than a drama queen type…

For years I was sure it was me, as these people don’t quite fit the drama queen designation and my husband couldn’t quite see my problem. Finally, recently, he had an aha moment, “Oh you are saying Heidi is like a ‘sinkhole’ you put time and emotionally invest in but you are swallowed up by”. I have used the label since…

Pumpkin not a fan Lisa thanks for the explanation! I’m a - T and turbulent is (unfortunately) a perfect descriptor for me. I admire you assertive types. Sharon & Janet it doesn’t sound easy to me - where I work a group of pre surgery candidates meet for support and exercise twice a week. They are dedicated. And, yes,…

Lisa That is interesting. I was discussing the “intimidating” thing with my DH yesterday - he says he’d love it, but agrees with females it is pretty much not said in a complimentary way. For me, reading about other INTJ types that are female has been great. Reading that others strugggle with feeling out of place with…

I am an INTJ personality type (tested in my 20’s) and the descriptions of that personality type are usually dead on. What I just learned after following up on some of the discussion here (“door slam” was a fascinating descriptive way to describe such behavior for instance) is that it is exceedingly rare for a woman to have…

Sharon in W VA Hi fellow gamer! I was a hard mode raid healer in SWTOR for several years. It was hilarious actually, because I have a quite young sounding voice and all the fellows on my teams always thought I was about 20, then when I’d mention a husband they assumed mid twenties. They never suspected they were playing…

...

Lanette what a fascinating graphic! Tho I have to be losing more than a pidly ,4 cups of sweat, LOL. With my hot flashes I am covered in sweat so often I would think it is gallons!, Lol on the laundry, we promise not to tell.

Michelle Your crab amazes me. I can’t even imagine how you can do that! I love it!

Aslan (yes, some of my favourite books) is simply wonderful!

Michelle So glad you are back safe and sound! Miss you around here. I know how stressful a trip with all those dismaying small irritants can be. I was so stressed out after my last ‘vacation’ (delayed flight, canceled flight, flat tire, flash floods, WEATHER!) that I could’ve used a vacation from my vacation! Hoping you…

Rita a - adorable

Okie Do you love sitting outside in a covered area and watching feeling and listening to it rain too? Not much chance to do that this summer, but I find it so relaxing and soothing. Hope you get much needed rain from that 50% chance! kJ You got it, I took a photo and put a painterly effect on it. Not satisfied with it yet,…

Doing some experimenting, KJ you are the inspiration for this. :) Rye

So busy, and so little time at the moment. Trying to fit in some Wii body test and agility exercise in, the schizo Wii program can’t decide if it thinks my fitness age is 65 or 39. Lol, it all depends if it gives me two balancing/ agility tests or one mental and one balance. My woeful balance ( which is woeful due to my…

My September goal is to start up with the Wii fit stuff again. Today the WiiFit program got a tad upity with me: I was able to be a tad smug tho, I did make progress in those 3000+ days off. LOL Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend! Rye In way too hot still TX

Barbara yes, Stress is a rocacea trigger. Since I can’t control stress, I’m investigating food triggers. I’m on Kinda like an elimination diet right now. Rori We are literally LOCKED into the expensive non-insurance provided by my husband’s employer. Because of some paperwork dating errors on the part of my employer:…

Stress of the past two weeks has made me very grumpy. Back to logging my food (to identify Rosacea triggers, not calories) has me grumpy. Trying to think of positive things. While on vacation someone asked for before and after pictures of our fitness/weight loss journeys and my DH sent me these old pics (2015 and 2016)…

Allie, what a wonderful sight! I wish I could have joined you! I hope you had as much fun as it looks like! Rye

Due to incompetence on the part of my current employer’s outsourced HR department John and I will be out close to 1000 dollars this year and we can’t change from his ‘sub-par meets the legal definition of employer provided insurance but doesn’t cover anything in reality’ to my employers typical employer provided American…
