I just learned of Marie's passing thanks to a message from PJ/Phoebe through FB (Can't remember her MFP login) I was lucky enough to meet Marie on one of my TX visits about 5 years ago. She was just as nice in person as she was online. She will be missed.

Gawanne35, Anne, just a quick post to explain, I am not dancing Barb. That's Barbiecat, whom I also know through MFP. She is active on a different thread, but not here. I live about 160 miles south of where Barbiecat lives. We actually met once. I had dinner with her and Jim, her hubby. My login has always been weaklink109.

Hello everyone. Just had a multi-paragraph post go "poof" on the app, I'll have to redo it later, using a notepad, and paste it in. I'm an oldie but a goodie who joined MFP in 2009. Looking forward to reconnecting with some other familiar faces who are still on here, like Sandydur, linder4866, Delraybuzz, and others whose…

Well, here I am. MFP has changed so much since I joined 10 years ago. I decided to reactivate and my old login is still here. There are a few familiar faces in another group that i still came up in as a member. I managed to find this group by searching (Thanks Barbiecat), but I'll be hanged if i can figure out how to add…

delraybuzz, you are not seeing things, it's really me. Long time since I posted in here. Sorry to hear about your dental transportation issue. Feel better soon. Barb

Lesutherl, so sorry to hear of your fall. Kaiser has hospitals in multiple locations, but I am familiar with the Sunnyside location SE of Portland, OR. They took good care of my dad, and my mom is still getting her healthcare through them. Hope you have any assistance you may need to get back to 100%

I am back again. I am up late tonight due to trying to ignore the fact that I should NOT drink caffeine in the morning if I expect to sleep that night. In a moment of lunacy, I decided to go on a hike this morning with a local group of people who meetup and do things with their dogs. It sounded like a great idea, a hike on…

Hello, First of all, thanks to everyone who welcomed me back to the thread. I would have posted on Friday, but as I was catching up on reading, my internet connection went "poof," and I didn't get a chance to get back here until now. My router needed a stern talking to, but is now behaving once again. Regarding…

Hello, Those of you who have been on this thread for a while will remember me. I just thought I would stop and say hello. I can see there are lots of new faces, even though I only browsed the last couple of pages. Due to my cognitive limitations (head injury, Jan, 2010, for those who didn't remember or didn't know), I…

After an absence of several months from reading or posting in any thread, I dropped in to find the same old debate about "my weight loss program is better than yours." Everyone has a different method of reaching their goal. One way is not better than another. There will almost always be differences of opinion, and it will…

Hello All, Can't remember everything, but the Costco/purina joke was priceless, as was the other one that I laughed at and now can't remember:ohwell: Xyla, Good luck with your surgery. I am sure you will be glad to have it behind you. Buzz, Your nutritionist sounds like she knows more about food and nutrition than she does…

Somebody mentioned a "man cave" post. I think the link below is what you are thinking of. They have, at times, been a pretty chatty bunch, but things seem to have slacked off a bit since January. I think if some of the guys on here were to start posting, you could get things rolling again....just a thought from one of the…

Mrs. Anderson, A good quote you gave about self discipline. Mine seems to be in short supply these days, so the doggies and I are all suffering the effects of too much snoozing, eating and not enough walking. If the weatherman will cooperate, I hope to change that situation soon. Marilyn, and anyone else interested in the…

Don't toy with me!! LOL Seriously, it has been so long since I saw the sun, if it showed up tomorrow, I might be tempted to report it as a UFO!!!, or would that be USO ("unidentified shining object") In the past two days in SW Wash we have had a freak windstorm on Monday, a severe thunderstorm warning on Tuesday afternoon,…

Chiclet, This is just an off the wall thought, but if your mom's Social Security income alone would qualify her for Medical, if the pension were subtracted, would it make more sense to have her refuse her pension so she could get the assistance that she, and YOU need? You would have to talk to someone with legal knowledge…

I am posting from my phone to add my voice to the chorus of those saying to Michelle... "Please Do NOT declaw your kitties!" Before the piggies joined me & before I was married to "Mr. Allergy"--now my ex, I was cat person. I successfully trained an adult cat to claw only on her scratching post, so it can be done. I will…

Buzz, You are a bad influence, along with Rachael Ray. I have decided to start the day with a waffle and some turkey bacon. Thank you for the idea. Barb

Connie, "What she said" Barb

Hi Sneakers!! I want you to know that thanks to my Android phone I can now catch up on reading MFP & other surfing when I can't sleep without getting out of bed, so I guess it could be said you are all here with me, Bradley & Pepper!!! LOL. Edited to add: No wonder it seems crowded in here!! The jokes were hilarious! More…

Joy, I just gotta ask..... Is prison food better than nursing home food???:noway: :noway: :noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Just want to warn you guys, I will probably be changing my login here because of the security issue that Lynn raised. I am not sure about the name yet, but you will know it's me from the avatar photo,…

My prayers are with everyone affected or potentially affected by this event. As I indicated I am posting to let it be known that I am going off the website for now...trying to catch a few zzz's--where is insomnia when you need it? One last bit of news. I am watching the live feed from KNHL in Hawaii, and tourists standing…

An update regarding Seaside Oregon, the school district has announced that schools will be closed on Friday. Haven't heard any announcements from other districts, but in another 3 hours or so, there could be more info. Edited to add, that KGW is reporting in addition to Seaside schools being closed: Neah-Kah-Nie Sch. Dist.…

Regarding gas purchasing, in Astoria,Oregon a KGW reporter indicates any open gas station has a line. For those of you not familiar w/Oregon, Astoria is located on the coast where the Columbia River flows into the Pacific.

KGW, from Portland is talking to a captain on a fishing boat from Hawaii, who is south of Honolulu harbor, says there are zillions of people who are out in their boats in preparation for what is coming. He says there is actually a "traffic jam" of sorts as people try to get out of the harbors and into open water. In case…

poorcopies, That is a good point. BTW, if you would like to see a live feed of a tv station in Hawaii, here is one for KHNL, the NBC affiliate. http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/Global/category.asp?C=176904 For Oregon coast residents in the vicinity of Seaside. If you are thinking you need gas in your car to leave, start…

Anyone who wants a link to a live feed from CNN, which will work on your mobile device as well as your pc, here is a link I pulled from twitter. http://www.interwebsource.com/feed.html

Anyone monitoring this thread who is in Oregon coast area and considering coming inland. Just saw ODOT spokesman Dave Thompson on CH 8 (KGW) who announced that by aound 3 am PST(about an hour from the time of this post) the HWY 26 tunnel (which has been closed at night due to the work being done on it) will be opened, so…

ByMay, According to what I have seen on Twitter and elsewhere, the tsunami is due to hit Hawaii around 2:30 to 3am, I think that is PST. That makes sense, given that the estimate for the Oregon coast is around 7:15am PST. So you won't have long to wait. EDITED to correct above: The time for Hawaii is 3 am HAWAII time, NOT…
