@HonuNui Holy Smokes! Those are beautiful! My DD picked up painting, I'll share it with her! Perhaps I can get a honu painting out of her. I spent most of the day yesterday listening to IZ. Your guest house is a great place for Henry be "stuck". Glad they are safe, he is great company to have. It is so great to see an…

@kgirlhart "Sometimes I feel that I'm generally kind to others, but not always kind to myself. And I get frustrated because I always try to be kind to others, but often feel like others aren't always that kind to me. So I don't know if I answered your question or just rambled on some nonsense". Yes, it absolutely answers…

I find this self perception incongruent with your presence here. You have a gift of holding us together. I feel like you are the backbone of this thread, connecting us, setting a tone of welcoming and acceptance. You've been the "how to" role model of online social interaction, using it for good and not evil ego. I should…

I love these interactions. @MobyCarp would have really enjoyed this. I understand it is a hard question and a little exhausting to look at too long. I appreciate the hugs, its a broken area within me. I think with age comes should come the ability of self reflection. Entering nursing school, really trying to understand and…

Why all y’all gotta be huggin’ me? I’m not a nice person and have no idea how to interact with people. Haha! I am nice. I do love all y’all, truly I do. And I’m naive that everyone else is just like me. I got my 5th hip/leg surgery scheduled yesterday and think I might be loosing it. Remember the rod? It needs to be…

Wow! Had to google it! Bet that was a great kid snack! I had canned chili once with mayo in it, it was oddly good, til it wasn’t. 🤢

Monthly question? The rant Warning. I don’t know where I’m going with this.... as usual. And it’s superficially deep. The question? Hmmm, lead me to enlightenment ... What do you do to thwart your ego? An easier question Favorite food as a kid! And what was the first movie you can remember seeing at the theatre or drive-in?

@quilteryoyo I couldn't remember which one was worse, basal or squamous. Pretty amazing what they can do these days! I go next week to have a larger area excised. I thought I was pretty good with sunblock, but I know I haven't been always, and surely not so as a youth. I admit to only using an 8spf or 4 on my legs in the…

@shanaber Hey good news then! Knowing more and having answers is always good, helps to formulate a plan. I knew math and music are related. I think now I am seeing how. The instructor liked the idea of having a keyboard/tiny electronic piano. I'll email her and ask for suggestions or if the one I want is really what I…

I have been so tired lately. I anticipated that the hormones would give me more of a pick me up. I took benadryl to sleep last night and feel like I actually got some rest. Food Eh... I had fried chicken last night. My guts didn't like it at all. I overate yesterday and did nothing but watch netflix. I hope today I am able…

I got a notification that my skin pathology report was available, after trying to view it via iPad through trial multifocal contact lenses that I can not see close despite the correction.... I finally was able to email it to myself. I expected nasal, no auto correct BASAL cell carcinoma. The spot was only the size of a…

Happy belated birthday @bearly63! I’m too tired today. Dd and I have an early eye appointment. Then hopefully some breakfast, maybe drive thru chick fil a. I am going to pitch the idea of her living on campus in the fall (covid willing) to transition her into adulting more. Planting seeds. I never found the energy…

BCAA’s work for muscle recovery. I am almost positive they aren’t animal derived. Do you have any idea what your current protein intake is and where you would like it to be? Grains, legumes and beans probably offers good bit. And if your not already, there is a way to pair your proteins so you get all the amino acids. I’m…

The scale is still 6 pounds over my do something weight. Which is 10 pounds from acceptable, 13 pounds from where I wanna be... What the heck! Sure it’s gonna get moving, just being impatient. I did over eat yesterday but it was on dried cranberries. I wonder if the “added” carbs as opposed to the high fat diet I like so…

Rigorous calorie counting and changing your food choices. I adopted a “do better” for food choices. So if I want pizza I can do better and get a small frozen cauliflower crust pizza. I can make a point to center my meals around veggies (not fried) and not fatty yummy meats. Get some deliberate activity daily. And of…

Ohh-gle my new shoes. Dh entered me I a contest to purchase these “limited” On Cloud Cloudnova’s. I think they’ll make a fine running shoe in a year, or two. They’ve changed up the bottoms a bit, and these don’t have the pods. Also seem to be a stability shoe. Diggin’ ‘em. ETA.. oh they aren’t a running shoe... cool. I…

YAY! for the weight @quilteryoyo !!!

My DD is gearing up for Anatomy class and I was showing her some resources I had, a virtual and interactive body map and was showing her head/face bones-including the zygomatic bone. she said "WHAT?, we have a bone called the zygomatic? that's nuts". Not running related, unless you face plant. I thought sphenoid was way…

I finished yesterday happy with my calories. I ate so much for dinner, the potatoes and threw a dollop of ricotta on them. Sure I logged everything fairly accurately and was only at 1100 for the day. Sure better than 2000-2500 daily and livin' slug life. DH offered to take me out for Mexican food and a margarita and I…

She looks like shes being patient. You'll have to share some in action photos! She is beautiful BTW.

Sure! We a have some generic and a brand I can't remember, in a yellow and green box.

Thanks all. I'm taking the turmeric/curamen now since he wanted me on an anti-inflammatory. Scale update. It is up another pound. 3 days of exercise and eating better and it's not even linear. Food Leftover butternut squash with pecans, cranberries, sauteed onion and garlic, salt pepper, parsley, and a pinch of cayanne. I…

Well. Poops. Haha!

Well I knew you didn’t eat veggies. For some reason at a glance I thought it was @Tramboman. You can see I don’t spend enough time with you guys anymore. Better a runners stomach than a ... er... uhhh.... twisted femur! Haha! Sorry ‘bout the belly ache. Hope your trail race is spectacular.

Imodium helps. Don’t get dehydrated, remember you lose potassium with watery stools. Banana, Gatorade , taters, (not fried). Best of luck!

@bearly63 haha! The internet will tell you anything! Silly phalanges!

@Avidkeo glad you found the sweet spot in fueling! @quilteryoyo yes. I'm sure I can try the trainer out before hand. I might get on mine today, since it looks like rain and I can see if it's something I still wanna do. Shoulder My range of motion is worse. But he didn't push so far to make me cry so I feel like it's…

hmm. @ddmom0811 I get it, cream you like and let someone else do the chores a little more often. I'll look at the cream. I have some la Therapie, we got on a cruise. I like it. Its rich creamy, what I'm looking for. It's heavily scented, which isn't so bad. Sometimes it makes my face itch- but I think everything does. I…

@shanaber I think I might be able to useore products if I can get my face to heal. All the irritation is likely why. Soap even bothers my face. I was it with Cetaphil once a week. @avidkeo I figure the lotion are all temporary. I was looking at noninvasive skin tightening procedures, even purchased one but covid happened,…

Supergoop sounds awesome! I tried the cerave and it makes my skin dry and on fire. I like Neutrogena... I have some stuff from the hospital that's pretty good, not irritating. @quilteryoyo I don't know how you tolerate the hot flashes. I get warm flashes and dh is turning the temp up cuz he's cold. Waiting at the skin…
