I'll start more lupines and put stick them around the property. I once had a couple nice ones Lanette, My first thought when I saw “lupines” was Harry Potter. Lupines are werewolves in that show. Made me laugh picturing you planting wolves in your yard to turn into a werewolf! LOL 😝 Thought for today: What do you call a…

Had to put Brownie down yesterday. Poor thing could hardly walk or hold her water. She wasn’t eating well, only drinking water. She had congestive heart failure and from her waist to tail, including her back legs were swollen with edema. She could hardly breathe, it was time. Thought for today: If a pig loses it’s…

Had another doctor appointment yesterday to review last bloodwork from old doctor. She gave us both mostly a green light. DH and I both need to work on our HDL to get it higher, otherwise cholesterol is good. DH has NASH, (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) of the liver and high blood pressure. My A1C is 5.9, which she said is…

Went early yesterday to talk to the owners of the campground that wants to hire use. We were all set to start when she says ‘I hope the lack of a bathroom won’t be a problem’. Well for me it is. I never know when colitis will show its ugly head. Did the day before at the PO. I had to do a dash into the first restaurant I…

Thought for today: I wouldn’t buy anything with Velcro, it’s a total rip off! RVRita in Roswell

Mice: Another deterrent for mice are Bounce dryer sheets. They work as long as you can smell them. The original scent works best. We use them in the camper by the engine. We have very few if any at all mice whereas our co-host complain of mice a lot. Not planing a garden this year because it should have already been…

My son called last evening and he sounds good. He says he is going to stay as long as they keep him. I hope so, so he can work the whole program. These are the shoes I ordered, I do hope they fit nice and last a long time, 2 years I hope! it’s been raining here for 3 days straight! Today we have snow flurries! I’m amazed.…

Happy Birthday Lisa! RVRita in Roswell

Machka, The potential job is the same as here. Volunteer 2 days a week in exchange for utilities and site rent. Pretty good deal actually. If monetized, the new job would pay better than the current one. It actually has been raining here 2 days in a row, with a prediction of 80% chance of rain tomorrow! Very rare to get…

Michelle, You can rent a large auger. They have different sizes depending on the size hole you need. They have ones for electric drivers are good for smaller holes. Check out what they have at your local rental place. We had used one once and it worked well for what we were using it for. Lisa, we had over 3 months without…

Thought for today: If a pig loses his voice, does he become dis-gruntled? RVRita in Roswell, still dealing with asthma and dust storms.

Thought for today: Why did the chicken cross the playground? She wanted to get to the other slide. Couldn’t find a chicken but the ducklings were cute! RVRita in Roswell

I broke down and got a pair of HOKA hiking sandals. I wear sandals 9/12 months so thought it was a good investment. Here is a pic. I wore them with matching socks the first time and was very pleased with how they feel when walking. I think it is a good investment. RVRita in Roswell

I got all these veggies and fruit yesterday along with some street tacos, gallon of distilled water, 2 boxes of sugar free 7UP, and small jar of sugar free jelly for under $30! I was happy. Each bag was $1.99, the radishes were .39 the corn and the grapes were .99 each. One bag was all apples, 2 oranges and a pear/apple.…

For Margaret who said “What do you call two dogs breathing heavily? A pair of pants!” Thought for today: Dogs can’t run MRI machines. But catscan! RVRita in Roswell who is coughing and sneezing the day away.

I stopped in a small local grocery yesterday and found an apple ‘bag’ full of large ripe avocados, red pepper, and some small plum tomatoes for $1.99! DH made quacamole out of the avocados and he toasted a tortilla and broke it into pieces for me last night. Awesome! The avocados made a lot of quacamole, so had some this…

Lisa, I had a trigger finger and cured it myself. There are many instructions online on how to stretch and do PT on them. I don’t want another so unconsciously do the exercises when not using my hands. I ‘play piano’ on the table or in the air. I touch the tips of my fingers to my thumb and my thumb pad to stretch them. I…

New doctor was great! Already, since we’ve seen her, I’ve gotten my medications renewed, a new long term asthma med ordered and chest x-rays (lung to verify asthma) done and read, all done in 2 days! The old crazy doc took weeks to get any one of those things! I’ve very happy and satisfied. I didn’t realize how bad the doc…

Thought for today: Why did the coffee file a police report? It got mugged! RVRita

Thought for today: Whenever the cashier asks my dad if he would like the milk in a bag, he says “No, just leave it in the carton!.” Have a great day everyone! RVRita in Roswell

Lanette When I was having back spasms in my upper back, I got steroid shots there which worked. For my lower back, I had acupuncture and dry needling along with massages which helped there. They both worked for me so it is mostly a choice as to which you want to use. The downside to the shots are the steroid side effects,…

I was looking at my goals for the year and noticed at the bottom I had the date I joined MFP: 5/26/2010. I joined this group not long after. 15 years and during that time, I’ve hit my weight loss goal a couple of times, but never stayed there. I really believe it is genetic for me because all the women in my family before…

Kylia, are you my mental twin? You’ve described how I have been feeling exactly. Actually I’ve felt this way all my life. I never feel like I belong. As soon as I do, something happens to change that. To add to your description, when I get a tiny bit anxious at all, I ‘lose’ my words in conversation. Not so much when…

Anyone here heard of or use Acorn? You connect it to a card you use often and round up the charges. The difference is invested for you. Adds up after a while. My question is it worth it? Are the charges for the trades a hard no for you. When researching this online, I get different views, but the majority agree that the…

Delivered paperwork to new doctor/NP yesterday and both of us has a ‘welcome’ visit next Wednesday. Thursday I have therapy, then dentist the same day! Doctor week! Thought for today: Where do hamburgers go to dance? They go to the ‘meat-ball’! RVRita in Roswell

Lisa, it does work with my iPad and iPhone too! Mine sometimes comes up with this: And sometimes this, where I select format: Either way, you can bold the word. RVRita in Roswell

Lanette When I was getting PT for my back, I was as limber as you but had slip disks, bulged disks, arthritis in all my disks, and a healed ruptured disk. I also had the dry needling and found it helped a lot! The first time I had it, I’m not sure if it was the ‘massaging’ the aide did or the dry needling the therapist…

Got paperwork done for change in doctor, now to bring it to them and set up the first appointment. DH does not want to do anything concerning doctors. sigh, oh, well, I’ll be the first to go and check out the new doctors then set up his appointment. I dread getting the records from our old doctors. We just had bloodwork…
