Lanette, The astronaut did say that perhaps he was an alien visiting me! LOL, he really said that! No time to ask about the transporter or a time machine……. Glad the tsunami wasn't as bad as they were worried about for everyone. It seems that weather and news stations blow everything up when reporting on them. Floodings,…

I saw that just now on the news. Thoughts and prayers sent! California coast is getting hit too, but not as bad yet. ❤️ (hugs, thoughts, and prayers for no damage or deaths). RVRita in Roswell

Pip, Ethel looks like she fit right in! She seems happy to be at her forever home! Endame, I tried it at a Japanese restaurant once, I got sick. Turns out I'm allergic to the protein in them. I hate being allergic to foods! I miss out on so much! Sunday, my DH made beef stroganof and I got really sick from that. Found out…

To me the "Let Them Theory" = detaching with love. Both things I'm working on now. Hard at my age but can still be done. Walked the Bluff Trail this morning with Lucy of course. About 3 miles round trip. Lucy discovered that butterflies are fun. She also found out she can't chase vultures! LOL. Found Killdeer (lots of…

Went for a longer walk than normal with Lucy. I like this walk except for having to cross a cow-catcher, which is scary. Lucy had a ball chasing the Killdeer birds. I let her run loose over there. Lots of room for her to run. I got to look for birds there too. Beside the Killdeer, found Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs,…

Saving money: I save all housing costs by living in an RV and hosting at a park. No electric, water, sewer, rent/mortgage, garbage removal costs. We got an electric hotplate rather than use gas for cooking (electric comes with the site), and an electric heater instead of the built in gas heater. We have a cellular internet…

Welcome Ange! I adopted a new puppy about 2 months ago. She is now 4 months old and looks like a Terrier mix (the pound said she was a chihuahua mix!) How old is your pup and what kind is she? Here is a picture of my little terror (oops Terrier! lol) One ear stands the other goes sideways! Silly puppy! She gets sick in the…

Joining the others on here that are feeling tired today. Humidity is really high at 88% today. Very unusual for here. We had a nasty thunderstorm last night contributing to the humidity. I have to work the visitor center today. Thought for Today: Why do ducks have feathers on their tails? To hide their butt-quacks. RVRita…

Lanette, you mention sit-to-stands. I do a ton of them when I work the pay booth. I will sit down because there are no vehicles is sight, which calls the vehicles and I'm up again. I think about the bathroom sit-to-stands every time I sit to stand when a vehicle comes to my window! Morning walk with Lucy done and she's…

MVD and age: This is what I found for New Mexico. DH and I both have to renew our licenses next year. We have the 4- and 8-year options as well. We will both do the 8 years. I will be able to; we will have to see about DH. 8 years from now he will have just turned 80. "Drivers who are 79 years old or older must renew their…

Lucy does that grab and run thing. She makes a game of it and you can actually see her smiling. I was trying to get dressed this morning and she would grab any piece of clothing I was trying to put on and run. Then she would spin around with the item in her mouth and look to see if you were chasing her. Big game for her.…

More on schooling: When in Elementary (nuns!), as soon as I was old enough, my parents made arrangements for me to clean classrooms after school to pay for my tuition. I was maybe 12 when I started that. Did that through high school as well. My biggest issue was that my mom wanted me to become a nun, and I did not. When it…

Women and education/praise I don't remember ever being told 'I love you' by a parent until I was an adult. My mom now says it all the time. In elementary and High Schools, I was in the Honor Society and took college courses in high school. When I was a senior and had watched a demonstration about computers, I knew that is…

Here are a few sites with Kidney information and diet. These are all ".org" sites which are more valid than the .com. I hope this helps someone. I've been to all these sites and they pretty much say the same things. This is the same info my Renal doctor gave me to review. Kidney-friendly eating plan - American Kidney Fund…

margaretturk I'm at stage 3A of CKD. I go to my Renal doctor the end of the month. Had to pick up bloodwork orders for that yesterday. I take magnesium supplements for leg cramps. As long as I take that, no Charlie Horses. I read labels all the time. I've found that generic cereal are FULL of potassium so don't buy them…

Had either a panic attack or heat stroke yesterday afternoon. Started sweating profusely, got light headed and dizzy. Felt like passing out! I sat for a bit, then moved to bed. Stayed there and slept from about 4 pm until this morning at 7. Only got up once to go pee. IDK. Better but still a bit dizzy this morning. When I…

Don't know where I got the page 9 thing, it should have been pg 14! Caught up now anyway. DAWGS: I love these sandals they fit nice, are comfortable and you can get all sorts of colors/styles as well. They can be worn in the water too, like water shoes. At least the ones I bought did. I got mine from Amazon. RV's: Living…

Allergy meds—- I read somewhere, my doc told me, and from experience, if you take a certain brand/type of allergy medicine for a long time, your body adjusts, and the meds no longer work. With that in mind. I go by use a bottle up then change type/brand for another bottle worth. I use the big bottles from Sam's. That seems…

Triathlon was postponed for an hour due to a thunderstorm rolling through. So, I was able to see the swimmers for the first time this year. I brought Lucy with me who was a big hit. I had to carry her-too many people around that looked like giants! LOL Not sure if or when I will need to run the pay booth today. I sent a…
-
Got Lucy out for an early morning walk (run for her!) and she is passed out now. I need to work the visitor center today 10-1. Tomorrow is the Triathlon then I work the booth at least until lunch and maybe after as well depending on work they have for the summer help. Been really busy lately, but nice break from routine. I…

Just realized this morning that I missed reading and talking to you ladies 2 days in a row! Skimmed to catch up. Ruidoso, NM is getting extreme flooding. A couple years ago, that area experienced a large fire then a flood right after that. This flood is downtown and even houses are floating down the road. Devastating. The…

Thought for today: I went to the aquarium this weekend, but I didn’t stay long. There’s something fishy about that place. RVRita in Roswell👽️

I just built an ATM that only gives out coins. I don’t know why no one’s thought of it before: it just makes cents! working today. DH sick. UFO Festival all keeping me very busy along with Lucy and Wicket upset not knowing why everything different. RVRita in Roswell

Happy Birthday Beth! Lanette, how about a huge class A camper so we have a bathroom? And food available, and a fridge for whatever! LOL BTW how do your girls handle loud noises such as firecrackers and thunderstorms? Tracey, I think it depends where you live. In TN, they did it when you wanted it. In CT I had Wicket spayed…

Ladies, I would LOVE to go on a road trip with each of you! It would be a blast! We could go from one state to another visiting all our MFP friends! Busy day today, not sure if I'm working or not. Waiting on call. Sent Happy Fourth text to family, everyone answered. DH in a mood so going to stay out of his way today. He is…

Don't know what's gotten into me, just so tired lately. Might be whatever is going on with my digestive system. I all of a sudden pass gas from both ends after eating, no matter what I eat. I never did this before. Plus GERD is making itself known every time I eat something. I really need to see my gastroenterologist!…

AH! makes sense!! LMAO! 👽️ Lanette, You could always fly down here to Roswell then I could drive you back home! 😁 Yesterday didn't feel very well so didn't talk much. Better today. Monday, we went to Portifino's for lunch. Big dinner to call it a lunch! But soooo good. Probably why I wasn't myself yesterday. I had…
