Thought for today: Why do melons have weddings? They cantelope. RVRita in Roswell

Happy birthday Allie! Love, RVRita in Roswell👽️

"So I'm heading back on the no added sugar, no white carbs for a week or two and will see what happens. It's pretty much the way I was eating last summer and it was super easy. Lanette 😎" That is the best way to eat all the time. You remove sugar and white carbs and eat everything else, you automatically get rid of all…

I had to copy/paste the link. It worked that way Love it! Furikake: I had never heard of this seasoning before and my eyes would deceive me and tell me you all were putting 'fruitcake' on your foods! 🤣 I kept trying to figure out if you grated a fruitcake or how did you get that flavoring! LMAO Work today so best get a…

Feeling better today. Treating myself according to my research seems to be working. I see my gastroenterologist in August. Just trying to make it until then so I don't need to make another appointment. Too many doctors already. (and medications!). I wish DH would learn to shop for the week rather than the month. We would…

The lab results were the last ones I got from my previous functional doctor. I will ask my new doctor to be sure to request these same tests the next time she orders blood work. The functional doctor took blood every 3 months. The new doc, every 6. We will see. Cardio doc may be the one to order the comprehensive…

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD— Rita ((hugs)) would you be willing to share which cholesterol marker your Cardio said was a possible stroke predictor? Sorry, didn’t get the two slices of bread on a date joke ;} Loaf at first sight! = Love at first sight! I just went back to my post and notice the punch line…

No Machka, it is on Rte 10 between Port Arthur, LA and Houston, TX. We drove Rte 10 from Pass Christian MS along the coast. Last night, I experienced the 'itchy ankles' for unknown reasons. I put body lotion on them and my feet which stopped the itching. This morning woke up way to early with an asthma attack. Of course,…

Heart doctor today. Had a bad night last night. Colitis showing its ugly head with lots of gas pains, GERD, and unexpected bathroom runs (pun intended!). Woke up with GERD (acid reflux) when Lucy got me up at 6 AM for her morning walk. Acid and gas still a thing. I looked this all up and found some recommendations to ease…

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD on bridges: I don't like bridges either. I will ride as long as someone else is driving, but I avoid them whenever I can. On my recent trip from Mississippi to New Mexico, when crossing Louisiana, I believe the entire trip through was on a bridge! Water on both sides of the road…

I was going to post this month’s Diabetes Class, but having trouble with the spoiler function so if you would like a copy, please pm me. It is about slipping on your plan. Had to work today, other than that, nothing much. Thought for Today: What do you call a sheep that can sing and dance? Lady BA BA RVRita in Roswell

Gardens and Fish: When we used to have an aquarium, once a month I would take out about 1/2 the water and replace while cleaning the tank. I kept that water and used it on my plants. Worked wonders! I also use- used coffee grinds and a gallon jug I would put used egg shells in. All of which I used on both indoor plants and…

DH settled down after I asked him if he needed to go to the doctor. He asked why, I told him. Apparently, he never realized what he was doing. Glad I said something. Had a headache all week. Nasty today so no walk in the morning. It will be too hot later. Maybe in the evening? We will see. Lucy defies any effort to stop…

I didn't end up going to the movies. IDK why not, just didn't go. When I went to my psych, she told me that I couldn't have picked a better time to get the puppy. She is forcing me to walk more and focus on training her. It definitely is helping with my mood and dealing with DH. No answer from my NP about the meds. Thought…

PIP There are no words for losing a fur baby, especially when we have had them since puppyhood. They are like children to us. My depression from losing my Brownie last month was bad enough for my un-observant husband to notice. That's why I now have Lucy. Just know that you gave Yogi the best life. I'm so sorry. RVRita 😞

Well, DH flipped completely around yesterday! I went to my. Psychiatrist yesterday and described his sudden anger bursts. She confirmed what I thought, alcoholic dementia getting worse. She told me what kind of meds would help him. But since he won’t go to doctors or therapists, I’ve asked my NP about it. She hasn’t…

Therapist today, not much else. Bad night last night. DH was in a very bad mood which upset me. He apologized, which was unusual, but I still didn’t talk to him before bed last night. He’s better today and acting like nothing happened. Men!!! Thought for today: What group of people never get mad? Nomads! RVRita

Did a whole bunch of nothing yesterday I didn’t go to work after all. Didn’t feel quite right and this is a volunteer job after all. I read most of the day. This morning, Lucy woke me up at 6 am, very early for me, so I got up and took her for a long walk. She is currently out cold. I’m still sleepy but will wait till the…

I need to work today, but I feel better. I must have ate something bad. I think it was that Harry Potter Popcorn, so I threw it all out. Lucy is full of vinegar this morning. She found a way to climb on the bed, through a gate and some heavy items holding it (temporary) and woke us up with her love nips and tongue! Rude…

I would look in MFP for something similar and simply use those numbers. If I feel very ambitious, I look up the weight/amount of each item, add that up, then divide what a serving would be. I found this in MFP. You’d be surprised at what they have in their database! When using this, for homemade, I simply take the highest…

I woke up in the middle of the night very nauseous. I had some specialized popcorn I found at Sam’s club, (Harry Potter something) and it made me sick. Just been napping and waiting for things to settle down. Bag went in trash. So not much to talk about today. I can’t think. Head fuzzy too. Didn’t work the booth today but…

My friend K, has left for home. I’m sad for that but glad she came. I have had a wonderful 3 weeks because of her. First the trip to Mississippi, the drive back, and the shopping day we spent together before she left. So much fun and laughter! Lucy can now sit, lay down, come, wait, (15-30 seconds) and is now working on…

Lorna, I do regret not keeping up with the Karate. I stopped due to 3 surgeries in 3 years during that time and just let it go. I did great as long as my DH wasn’t there. I went to a competition once, but was afraid to hurt my opponent so lost the bout. When I would spar with my now-X, I was always able to knock him down.…

Went all over town yesterday with K. She is leaving for Indiana Thursday so we are spending a lot of time together. She got 2 small Tattoos yesterday and was trying to get me to get one. I came very close to getting a small one on my ankle like hers. She said I HAD to get one before I die! LMAO! Today, we are helping a…

Tina, don’t be jealous of my weather! Sun and 105 degrees yesterday! My DH and our friend K were outside last evening and say they saw a UFO! Here is the short video. They asked that I report it to MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), which I did. I don’t know, looks like Elon’s satellites to me: Not sure if this will work:…

Worked for me! Lanette and Lynn, did I ever tell the story of the Bernese Moutnain dog that was camping? If I did, sorry, but here goes. The camper beside me had 2 women who had just bought the camper and were just learning about camping. They had a Bernie camping with them that I befriended. (Had to lean against their…

Sending healing thoughts and hugs to Kim —- Hang in there! This too shall pass. Something to make you smile a little: Re-homed this large turtle yesterday. Lucy was very interested in it! Lol Working in the paybooth today so need to get a move on. I hope it’s not as busy al last week! Thought for Today: Why did the…

Lorna, I took Karate in my 30’s. I got as far as a 3rd gup green belt. I was taking it with my first DH. Tang So Do was the discipline. What type are you taking? Lucy biting: I am happy to report she is not biting as hard or as much any more. What I’m doing is that if she bites too hard, I surprise yell OUCH, and slowly…

The building on stilts is the Air B&B we were in. All the houses and many of the commercial buildings were on stilts. This was in Mississippi near Louisiana and the Gulf of America (Mexico). I got to walk in the Gulf on the trip looking for shells with my friend. This is where Katrina made landfall that big destructive…

BMR/BMI: I have an app on my phone that I use for this. I’ve had it for a long time. Here are my stats today. Makes me pay more attention to my diet! I had a great time on my trip! The Colitis attack didn’t start until yesterday. I came home on last Friday. Probably the change in diet. I’m not as young as I used to be!…
