In these times of virtual socialization Fae virtually on the beach in Florida with her old man

Tracey It sounds like it is time to write some new lyrics to the old songs. Allie Sorry you have to suffer so much. May the days pass quickly and your healing be swift. Michele Are you in O hi o yet? Carol I see no problem giving your grands a hug. If we all don't start living a little, we are all going to die. Barbie I…

M in Oz Glad they finally got that tooth seating right. I wasn't aware that wombats have cubical poop. Wombats are certainly more pleasant to look at than opossums. Barbara The stickup artist made me smile. I noticed the Wells Fargo guys coming out of Safeway with money bags yesterday, hastened their pace when they saw me…

Winter 2020/21 walking look

SuzieQ Cornish hens with Stovetop dressing, green beans, and jelled cranberry is what I have done the last several years. Hugs Fae

SuziQ Good to see you back. 1400 to catch up on is a bunch. Barbara Those are my heavy stretch relaxed mom jeans. They get stretched and don't recover much until they are washed. I usually wear the same pair for two days. After about a mile of walking, they don't look very nice, but they are super comfortable, warm. and…

Old Man Winter was once again defied by Faetta. He cranked down the temperature to 31 degrees F knowing she would shiver, cower indoors, and repent of her scandalous ways. At least she would don leggings. Fae was poised and each move was precise. She was on a Caribbean beach far away from the chilling discipline of her…

Katla I am up in the hills at about 280 feet. Sometimes it is colder at the river which is 79 feet. I am on the other side of the Cascades and colder air hangs in here, even at the river. Also being at desert's edge adds another element in temperature differentials. Barbara Whilst I picked up on your comment about my lack…

[quote To that, I have a question for you all. I periodically get these terrible migraine-like headaches. There is no "routine" as to when they appear. Sometimes I get them twice in a month and sometimes I will go 3-4 months and have none. I haven't been able to link them to anything in particular, like a food or alcohol.…

[/quote] :) Michele, The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has recommended staying home for Thanksgiving, not even going to someone's house in the same town.[/quote Here are CDC guidelines for the holidays. Also, note that these are GUIDELINES ONLY, and Local, County, and State emergency order mandates (NOT LAWS) apply and…

Now that I am wearing a mask, I no longer tell bald-faced lies.

Cathy Yes, a high fiber diet is recommended to help in polyp prevention. There are other general recommendations, but I think they are applicable on an individual basis. I find it hard especially with so much virus, bacteria, and fungus, to get fresh organic vegetables without fear of contamination from handlers that don't…

Debbie I never cared for Nubians either. I couldn't stand their bleet. It was such a demanding painful cry. I had Togs and Registered French Alpines and a few mixed Tog Alpines. The mixed seemed to be tougher and capable of maintaining 1 1/2 gallons a day without mastitis and other problems. They were great forging…

Rita Well said! We have no idea how bad things are going to get and how bad some have it now. We as older women must stay strong to encourage the younger to not give up. Chickadees That is an old family saying in my family. My great-grandma used to call all us girls chickadees, but sometimes would say, "Except for Faetta,…

Glad you could retire! I am guessing you know where Oconto is. I was there 50 years ago to meet some very distant family and I rented a cabin on the lake and distant cousins taught me how to eat Brats and drink beer from the keg while slapping big mosquitos. It seemed every neighborhood had a bar in a home open to the…

Michele Yes, red wine is good for the gut according to the teaching of an old manuscript. "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and other infirmities."

For the Goat Lovers My goats 1973 on a mountainside on a ranch where I lived in Montana and worked as a wilderness survival guide. They kept the horses calm and the horses protected them from predators and they gave me a source for healthy cheese and butter. Basque-style Shepards cast iron dutch oven sourdough bread…

Michele I think you meant your fan comments to Flea Carol I once had the shots in my shoulder and elbows, but now use Diclofenac Sodium Gel. It works great and hasn't the side effects of steroid injections. The steroid shots every 6 months caused my cataracts to progress rapidly and made it impossible for the eye doc to…

Margaret You are 100& correct! It is always the owner that is responsible for a dangerous dog. If the law isn't requiring the owners to take measures to protect the public, then you must take measures. I would suggest Bear Spray instead of mace. In all the times I have been attacked and/or bitten, by dogs, the owners have…

Sheri in Ohio Are the goats' rescue? They look like a Saanen Nubian mix and all four wethers. Around here a very popular mix for meat goats. I see an increasing number being bought for pets to rescue them from slaughter. Beautiful peaceful looking photo. Very nice looking well cared for cats also. Margaret I wouldn't…

Here we go again! Two-week freeze for Oregon. Basically the same as going back to baseline. Two-week decree including Thanksgiving No more than 6 people and no more than 2 households represented in one location, whether indoors or out, public or private property. Masks are required to be worn at all times, indoors or…

Allie Do you have a Hiatal hernia?

Katla I also welcome the rain, but a few days in-between with sun and no wind would widen my smile. These rains will sure be nice for next spring and it is predicted that we will have nice snow build in the mountains. I use to love the wind during the warmer months for windsurfing or sailing and the single-digit cold for…

Rain rain rain That is what has been going on here for days. I don't mind walking in a drizzle and so far most of the heavy rains are at night. So much overcast can get old and always increases my coffee and hot chocolate intake. When I feel myself feeling down, I listen to my inspiration from my teen years, Sister…

Barbie I'm am also a turtleneck lover because of my long neck. I wish Carhartt would make their long sleeve Tee in a turtleneck. I am sure loving my sleeveless turtleneck with mask top for wearing under on these cool PNW mornings, but can't afford anymore. Do you have any special brands of turtleneck T's you like? I also…

Dresses or skirts I was never one for dresses, but I did and still do love skirts. I like the idea of having a separate top. Alson with my long torso, finding a dress that fit was difficult and I never liked making dresses, but I did like making skirts, especially pencil and mini. I do love pants suits but have no reason…
