Glad i gave you a laugh with the earrings Vail.. not sure my sister would be quite as amused as we were though haha... yes i feel bad for the small businesses who rely on our postal service for delivery and for many who live in rural areas where its only our postal service who delivers there... looks like the govt is…

Morning - just wanted to check in and see how you are both doing. Nothing new here; still involved with the retiree group altho we had our big christmas party on Monday and that's it for this year until a lunch on Dec 30th .. I was able to meet up with old friends a few times this month which was lovely but as we know that…

Vail I remember the days when i was working and all the goodies were around.. it's a tough place!! Good strategy you came up with keep us updated how it's going! Oh wow on making your decision to do the hip replacement.. I understand why you decided to go ahead in case you don't get another chance, but its still a huge…

Vail - believe it or not i totally get that feeling of being pressured into it by others... comments like "what are you waiting for just get it done" like it's not even a big decision. I also find in those situations its almost like they look at me like i'm stupid.. like "duh.. what's there to think about just do it"..…

Vai i totally get not being sure if you want to go ahead with the surgery; i have a few friend in the same decision making process on hips and knees, weighing current pain levels into the mix & hoping to wait as long as they can. Suzy.. i kinda dread getting blood work back most of the time and im usually a little bummed…

Hi Suzy!! Huge congrats on nailing the hiking i can imagine how great it felt to feel happy about how well you did!! and even better news about being able to see the new grandson.. i totally get the hurt feelings you experienced when you didnt get the invitation to see him earlier.. sometimes the young'uns just dont get…

Hiya Suzie! Great to hear from you.. its funny you mention your family member who is 70 but more like 90.. i had the exact opposite experience last week.. a bunch of my retiree group people wanted to try "tree top trekking & zipline" which is basically going over 25 wooden slat bridges 60 feet in the air.. then taking a…

Vail to be completely honest, its very scary being on your own when you're sick for me... like you said it would be just comforting to know someone is around to check on you.. there are a number of ppl in my retiree group who live on their own too and when I find out one is sick i make sure i message them every day to at…

Suzy huge congrats on the new grandbaby arriving in a few days! lol at "they havent invited me yet but i'm going" i have no doubt they will be very grateful for the help! i agree on how uncomfortable i feel when i eat so much.. i just wish i could remember that before i start eating lol.. but i am trying to eat smaller…

Suzy.. u know both vail and i have been where you are (in my case, many times over the years) so we totally get it... and we both also know that when u r there.. its SO hard to even come up with a plan.. you're just kinda floundering cause it seems so overwhelming (at least that's how it is for me when i'm there).. and you…

its funny vail you mention about how easy it is to go from say the 80/20 rule to instead realizing the 80 percent is now more crap and the 20 is the only healthy stuff. I have also noticed my portion sizes have gotten way bigger recently too at home.. i blame that on all the restaurant meals our group has out.. breakfast,…

i saw this on a friends FB page today... and thot yup... i need this now lol

Hiya.. i read both your posts and can relate to both... for me its my eating habits that have slipped big time... i am eating a lot of crap mostly sweets and salty .. for the longest time i had no urge for any of them and was quite content with doing protein and veg for most meals and just an occasional tim bit or cookie…

Hi you two..... well i just discovered i havent been signed into MFP for a while.. i had no idea because i was able to see our discussion here.. and since im not logging my food anymore i never clicked on the diary and stuff.. til tonite.. and it took me to a sign in screen for MFP.. i was like huh?? so i signed in (and…

I can't get into my MFP site on my phone cause i need to find my password first lol.. but on my laptop its saved i just can't see it... its weird cause my phone will let me wander the site but when i try to post i have to log in apparently there... anyway i'll stick to the laptop for now lol my cousin who had her knee…

p.s. as to the garden... i tossed in some broccoli and cauliflower this year just for the heck of it.. did nothing to them but holy cow... got 5 broccoli and 3 cauli that were amazing lol.. who knew!! lots of lettuce and just waiting on the tomatos to start turning.. we've had a lot of rain which made all the greens…

Hiya!! Sorry i could have sworn i replied a few days ago but i'm obviously losing my mind .... Vail I almost missed your grandson arrived??? omg i was just going to ask isnt he due soon. CONGRATULATIONS!! AWWW what's his name (if you're comfy sharing?) One of my retiree peeps just had their first grandchild.. so far they…

Vail - i think its absolutely AWESOME that you are going to these events that bring you joy, and experience the wonder of travel and making friends of all ages and having experiences you would never have if you just stayed home!!! So i hope you keep going to EVERY single event or concert or trip that you can!! I'm sorry…

Oh wow i can't beleive you're there in England now Suzy!! How did i miss you actually left on the trip!! OMG ten miles!! you are a far better woman than me - what an awesome accomplishment!! Yikes on the sunburn - if your calf muscles scream at you, scream back at them LOL!! have a wonderful time

Vail i thought of you this morning when i saw on the news that Switzerland won the Eurovision this year

Have a wonderful trip Suzy and Vail so fab to hear you've been travelling and getting to see your fav band in concert and even more cool getting to meet fellow fans from all over the world!! That's amazing

I've been laid up for 2 days flat on my back Vail so I get the feeling sorry for yourself - sorry to hear about the virus and hope the hip enjoys its bit of better due to your enforced rest all of the work has been done now except the carpet replacement.. i had the whole place painted on my own dime after everything was…

Morning! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing.. suzy you must be only about 3 weeks out from your trip by now? Vail hope you are doing ok with the hip lately?

Vail i hate seeing those xrays on the screen at the dental office lol... but never seen my skull thankfully! My eye specialist occasionally does this scan of the optic nerve or something.. first time i saw it i swear i could see my brain and all the things stemming out from it... freaked me right out! (Turns out it wasnt…

Hiya Vail! Actually i just got back from pickleball lol.. we couldnt play all week as it was closed to us during school march break so a lot of kiddie events going on... bad timing as i was trying that experiment before my bloodwork about seeing if increasing my exercise in the weeks before my bloodwork would affect my…

oh ok sorry i misunderstood lol.... and yup i get holding off for sure! suprisingly tho the 2 people i know who have had hip replacements both had them in their 60's... im not sure of the reasons they needed them tho... but i think they are the only ones i know of who were that "young" (what i consider young anyway!) when…

Vail - woo hoo on knowing you're going to have a grandson now! how exciting! Sorry about the stress at work hope you are able to get thru it all and that things settle down... have you had a hip replacement already? it sounded like you were talking about a 2nd one ... ? i hope the leaflet gives you some hints and ideas to…

Vail! congrats on the exciting news about a grandchild!! That's awesome!! Woo hoo - any idea when the anticipated arrival date is yet? and Suzy I agree with Vail - thats awesome that you are doing the yoga.. and even better is the great news about your muscle mass being higher than you thot!! yippee!! As far as the 80%…

I'm in the for the beach Suzy.... sign me up!! Am still living in chaos;.. no word from contractors on when they will repair the walls and paint and the insurance company sent the adjustor over a week ago and still no word on what my options are for the flooring.. i built my own "wall" between me and the neighbour as they…

Suzy.. there's a webcast (or whatever you call it) that i have been following for a while.. today in a freaky coincidence they have some weight training moves for beginners.. BUT.. also a section "for those who prefer to go to a gym for strength/resistance training: f you’d rather go to gym to do resistance training, here…
