Try this website -- I don't know about the accuracy, but they have a number of farm chores listed. http://www.prohealth.com/weightloss/tools/exercise/calculator1_2.cfm

Caught up on all your posts again! We are definitely chatty. A volunteer group DH belongs to has another member that was formerly a jeweler. As a fundraiser for a local boys' ranch today he was doing jewelry cleaning for donations to the ranch. Several years ago I inherited DH's sisters' jewelry and today we took pieces to…

Just worn out tonight - as I was last night. That work stuff really can get in the way! I've been reading along, though. Gail, metro ATL

bump to mark the new thread -- hope everyone has a great day. Gail, metro ATL (where the birds are chirping away outside)

Michelle, I bet those brownies would be great in a trifle or with ice cream on them..... for someone else, of course. :wink: DH is diabetic and will sometimes have a small treat like a brownie broken up with some low carb yogurt. I made fish chowder for dinner and we had some of the 'wholesome home' fruit and seed bread…

Bumping back in, having caught up on the posts from page 4! That took some time... Just a busy week, and busy weekend. Boss is on vacation with his family this week, but it is a 'working' one for him. Hope to get to the gym (not Jim!) more this week. Its hard to believe April is here. Missy the dog is doing fine. The…

Checking in tonight and, Laura, I smiled when I read your post about Steak & Shake, because even in our brief time together last fall, I can absolutely picture you saying that to the manager! Always be true to yourself. Our dog, Missy, has been a bit off lately. She is a mix of yellow lab, Australian shepherd and shar pei…

Bump to find the thread. Sylvia, I have not had much luck with items from Chico's. They don't seem to launder well - even with not running them through the dryer. The knit pieces I've tried ended up wide and short and the woven pieces seemed to fall apart. And I don't want the expense of dry cleaning everything, so though…

I've been lurking and following the posts. Spent a couple of hours in the yard yesterday morning trimming things up and cutting off frost damage on some things. Also went to Gibbs Gardens again yesterday - the daffodils are glorious! Gail, metro ATL

Carol, that's terrific! Gail, metro ATL

bump....

My goodness -- I didn't read, just check to see and I last logged in when this was on page 2. Lots of reading to catch up on -- maybe! The Braves lost both of the spring training games we attended, but we still have had a load of fun with my DS & DBIL. Will try to catch up soon.... Gail, metro ATL

bump -- packing for our trip to FL - hooray! Gail, metro ATL

Sharon / Fabulous Fifty – where do you live in southern IL? My DSister lives in the Belleville/O’Fallon area so I’ve spent a good bit of time up there. Now who was it that teased us last week about upcoming news? Did the news come out while I was away, or are we still waiting? I have such a sieve mind these days -- very…

A quick post to mark my spot after scanning 5 or 6 pages of your news over the weekend. I spent the weekend visiting at my cousin's in TN as her mom and sister had come out from the west coast to see TN cousin's brand new first grand baby. I finally got to meet the baby today (so to speak, she was sleeping). Cute enough…

Glad to see your post, Alison. Keep checking in when you can. Gail, metro ATL

Alison - this seems alarming to me. Please take care of yourself. Sue in SD - for focus in doing the prayer shawls patterns in sequences of threes is said to help with focus due to the association with the trinity. Off to work again. Gail, metro ATL

Joyce – oh, that I had a day that food didn’t appeal to me! And Happy Birthday to you, too. Rose – I hope everyone is feeling better by now. Michele – sorry to read about DH’s allergies - they are a big challenge for many people, my DH included. Looking at the newest storm going across the country – winter be gone. Alison…

bump!

CynthiaT60 - thanks for mentioning Small Batch Baking. I think I need that book! :happy: Gail, metro ATL

Good evenin', ladies.... All the talk of Easter candy, jelly beans, etc. -- not a big draw for me. An occasional peanut butter cup is good, but I'll buy just the one. My downfall is cookies, brownies, etc. so I rarely have them in the house. Nothing tastier to me than a warm cookie! And I love, love, love :love: :love:…

bump for my spot, too. Gail, metro ATL
-
Meg, that is food for thought. :laugh: Were I to go to a 4-day work week at 62 I'd have that many fewer actual Mondays at the office. Just the logical-Monday-first day of the week. Gail, metro ATL
-
Sue in SD - FOUR Mondays before retirement?!? You must be so excited. :love: What is the first thing you will do? ... other than NOT rush out to work, of course. Congratulations. :happy: There are still ~ 7 years of Mondays in my future. Doesn't that sound like a long sentence? I actually told the boss that when I turn 62…

Bumping to mark my place and say hello. Had a terrific day at the Y yesterday then we went to dinner last night. Unfortunately my gut was not happy until this afternoon. I'm not sure if it was overdoing the Y and water, or eating more than normal last night. Things finally settled out and we kept our food simple today. I…
-
Rosey, you found us - I'm glad you did. Went to the Y after work to lift weights and do some cardio. I missed last night with working late yesterday. Not much else to contribute, but I've read all the posts. We're in for overnight storms as well. The dog will not be happy about that.... Have a good night, Gail, metro ATL

Congratulations on the results of all your hard work - what a transformation!
-
Maryann – congratulations! Hooray for new babies, too. Saw my back-fence neighbor and saw a couple of pics of her little guy. Very cute. YannieJannie – I’ve been to contra dances, but it isn’t really my thing. DH loves it, though! He goes without me as he has many friends in that community. I like dancing with my DH, not…

I'm off from the paying work today, but have gotten a lot done over the long weekend - laundry, dusted furniture, fan blades, baseboards and window blinds, steamed the floors, vacuumed, and cleaned the bathrooms. DH was supposed to golf today but begged off due to his foot neuropathy. It makes me sad that diabetes is…
