  • Lanette right there with you trying to decipher Lisa’s code. Travel, money, ?, squirrel squirrel squirrel happy. Hope it means that despite the expense she’s having fun at the fibre event. Whoops, Lisa as you can see my translation skills weren’t up to the task 🤪 $28 for a single skein of yarn? WOWser. Time to start…
  • Machka yup, when I worked in San Francisco, I wore those pointy high heeled shoes in the office, but snkeakers when walking from BART station to work and back. That geography and traffic jam remind me of those days. Now I only wear hiking boots or Adidas, except for low flats to church. ;) Thanks for the Debbie 27K steps?…
  • @shamac35153 welcome and happy to have you join! Machka, that commute sounds so very painful. Were there no taxis/Uber/Lyft because of the road closure? Hope the podiatrist has do-able recommendations. Con VERY gratulations on the new job and beautiful aquamarine ring. Rebecca “Uff da” indeed! Kay, trying to train myself…
  • Made the after dinner sweets goal of only one piece last night for the first time. At last! Baby steps.Kay ((hugs)) held extra long. BTW it’s ok to feel mad,—- clumsy and possibly insensitive attempt at humor, feel free to ignore.—- (Spoiler) Debbie what will you use to cover the greenhouse? Organic potting soil here is…
  • Welcome @PeggyHeath Peggy! Most of us here don’t do the “friend” thing, but connect and support each other here on this thread. Congrats on recommitting to logging intake, it is the first step and key. Lanette, wondered why the Monkey Puzzle tree was treacherous, found this in your link: “monkey puzzle trees, which can…
  • TMI (Spoiler) Thanks, Machka! Will try making some of my signature red again. Hmm. got some red but minimized font and wasn't red where intended… Michele, that sounds so painful! Lisa congrats on your beautiful half bath. Job well done! Re conVERYgrats on taking off another pound. Rebecca your skin regimen is showing…
  • Let myself get too hungry and tired yesterday, gorged on Wagyu burger and onion straws, triple salted, then chocolate brownie thunder ice cream with butterscotch topping. Result? BP and WT down. Go figure. Debbie, the very happiest of birthdays to you! ((hugs held extra long)) Lisa thanks for trying on the colors. Guess…
  • Barbie, hope this morning’s quake on the Olympia Peninsula didn’t disturb or damage you and yours. Rosemarie you and your son were on my heart this morning. Could he be reading your texts as “please fix this” while you are sending “please listen to help me process this”? When Joe and I first got together, he’d frequently…
  • Thanks Machka! I’ll try it on some of our dish towels, thought they were hopeless. Looks like mfp has "upgraded" again, color codes not working nor is the [img] I've saved, had to add it using the picture button. Tina glad to see you back, sorry about the mister’s leg. Yours about who gets to decide where the toilet paper…
  • Oops! Buried most of my post in the spoiler yesterday. Hope y’all saw the thanks for the bday greetings. Thanks Terri, pip, Kim, Flea, Mo and Re! No declutter progress to report, but did make it to BB&B and line dancing. Even did a little Jeopardy walking to make step goal, yay me. (Boy I sure miss @Anniesquats100) Lynn in…

  • Belated welcome back @jazzypdx Tamz in Chehlan Valley WA! Watch for Barbie’s link to the March thread later today. Lanette well done on the seeding shelf and recycling! Vicki praying the bank is a good fit for you and that your DH is truly recovered enough to return to work. It makes me mad that employers can refuse to…
  • Monday and Tuesday I used the weather as an excuse to wimp out on BB&B and line dancing. Learned a friend is in hospital. Heard from her during today’s BB&B class. She’s facing heart surgery to correct a congenital defect, soon as they can drain enough fluid from her body. There is concern that her recovery will be…
  • Carol good catch. Your instinct was spot on. Flea what Debbie said about being able to talk to your son. Blessings. Michele, have you considered slab or solid surface instead of tile for the tub wall? IMHO the less grout and fewer seams, the mo’ bettah. ;) Ginny brava for walking! Yes to train trip through the Canadian…
  • The very happiest of birthdays, dear Carla! Will catch up later. Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
  • Lanette, finally watched the TED talk about the power of smiling, thanks! Ron Gutman also wrote a 48 pg e-book “Smile: The Astonishing Power of a Simple Act” not yet offered by my library. Interesting guy Generally pull side leaves off from greens and let them keep growing. In our climate they don’t bolt for months and…
  • Lynn in NC (gentle hugs held extra extra long) :cry: :heartbreak: ((hugs)) Debbie I feel the way you do about line dance class. Patient teacher and best group of gals outside this one. Kim thanks, I never thought to freeze the aquafaba in ¼ C portions. Maybe for when I try making Michele’s black bean brownies. . . Carol…
  • The mass on Princess Tumble’s right front leg cae back and is bigger than it was when it popped at the vet’s last October. Was lucky enough to get her in on an emergency same day basis to our preferred vet. He removed it surgically and sent it and the margins off to the lab. Praying for that best of all words: “benign.”…
  • Kelly WOW Lots of inches pared away. Well done!!! Ginny prayer said for favorable scans and positive outcome intervention if needed. Well done for doing your research homework and being your own advocate. ((hugs)) Tracey wow that Aspen, what a little firecracker! Sweet pic of you snuggling the new pup. Lanette, might there…
  • This morning I could not think of the word for the musical instrument my BFF and Lawrence Welk played with such enthusiasm. Kept coming up with “harmonica” “ukuklele” “concertina” “squeezebox” but knew none of them were right. Finally had to think about something else for the word “accordion” to bubble up. Must be a broken…
  • Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all. Yesterday was cozy, relaxing in the hot tub and by the woodstove, lovely. Glued labels to popsicle sticks for the germination experiment, removing one thing from the desktop. ;} Found this activity strangely satisfying. Could I have found my craft? Naaaah :noway: Rosemarie, Vicki, Kim,…
  • Catching up from Sunday, no declutter progress Monday but did drag my lazy butt to BB&B and line dancing. Tuesday’s success was finishing and filing our taxes. Today’s challenges: BB&B, line dancing and the house of pain for ?final? step in implants. Not sure I want to proceed, have a deep ache in the corner of that jaw,…
  • This morning’s frog bite, reconciled checking account and actual spreadsheets, found quite a few checks not entered in actual so would have been missed for medical deductions. Then had to dash to prep fellowship salad and shower before leaving for Gold Beach. Ginny, yes in a care facility that also housed her husband but…
  • ‘nother nibble at the frog, started deductions spreadsheet, next to reconcile with checking spreadsheet… little by little it will get done. Lisa what a gift you gave that man, letting him tell you of his wife’s last moments. Awkward to be hoping to benefit from her passing, but hope the lawyer can find a way to not have to…
  • Didn’t make it to line dancing Tuesday night. Started swallowing the income tax frog yesterday morning. Use TurboTax as it keeps history and assures me I’ve not missed any deductions, but alas, it seems to be getting kludgier to negotiate. Have to answer the same irrelevant questions to manually enter 1099-Rs from my…
  • Wimped out on coffee with D this morning, too danged cold. It might take more than pulling up my big girl panties to get me out to line dancing tonight ;{ Kylia, courragia! Getting nicotine-free is the most important thing you can do for your health. It’s not surprising to put on a few pounds as the nicotine clears from…
  • Carla wearing jerseys at least part of the time might help shift the grieving to celebration of life, at least for a moment ((hugs)) Allie so sorry to hear about the IRS. Does the letter say why? I got a bill from them years ago because my financial institution made a mistake on a transfer, didn’t check the rollover box,…
  • Thank you Barbie! We depend on you for our monthly fresh start and inspiration. Brava for capitalizing on recent familiarity with going into town. Stocking up before the forecast storms is just what we do . . . ;) Kim, WOW! I’ll let my friend T know about homeowners’ insurance, as she’s recently set up a trust. Carla…
  • Carol, Tracey you are not alone. Hi! My name is Barbara and I’m an evening snackaholic. Debbie you said it, salty, then sweet, then salty again, all of the above! Heidi I loved the McCall ice sculpture festival when we lived in Idaho. Amazing what so many sculptors did with just a chainsaw… Allie, Tracy’s sourdough looks…
