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…

Lanette, our Speed Queen’s lid lock would stay engaged intermittently. YouTube fixes didn’t work but repair guy suggested putting a surge protector in between washer and wall socket. So far so good! More later, Barbara the S OR coastal AHMOD

Whoops, fell behind again. ;} Loved the Burns night pics, Johnny’s “shattered” , Margaret’s insights and the joy she radiated in that pic. Carla prayer said for Jeremy, his wife and son. And BIG hug for you. ((hug)) Only through pg 34 but falling asleep zzzzz Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie…

Lisa I’m just too old school, I back up my Windows 10 laptop to an external hard drive. That having been said, my photos ARE on icloud.com so I should sort through them, purgeing most, saving some to my laptop. Yah right, maybe next rainy week. Machka ((hugs)) TBI complicates EVERYTHING. ((hugs)) Lanette IS there a stand…

Kylia “doctor said a little nicotine isn’t bad”?!? SMH Must have been out of context, a little is better than a lot but it’s like a saying a little poison isn’t bad… congrats on your many successes, 0 mg nicotine, moving, walking away from the desserts. You’re right, the rest IS up to him. ((hugs)) Heather I love beets…

Thought Tuesday’s “impressions” would be half hour at most, with trays of gunky stuff. Turned out to be a grueling hour and a half while they tried to take digital images by moving a camera wand around in my (physically too small) mouth after unscrewing stuff from the sockets, screwing in “imaging bodies”. When the imaging…

Inspired by you all, listened to Cas podcasts while tidying, sweeping out the potting area AND undecorating the tree yesterday. OMG the cobwebs and spider corpses! Today I WILL do at least 10 minutes of BB&B, get the ornament boxes stowed away in the Christmas trunk, and maybe either mix up cookie batter or fill the…

Ginny, con VERY gratulations on three plus years nicotine-free! VERY well done! Likewise Lisa, con VERY gratulations on being an ex-smoker and to Corey for three years nicotine-free!!! Barbie does Annie have a bed or piece of furniture that is “her place”? Where she could learn to sit and stay while you dance? So glad to…

Debbie, hearing your DH choose to sleep in instead of visit his mom is hopeful. He has lots of sleep deprivation from which to recover. Hay it help him purge himself of his mother’s bitterness. Heather ((hugs held extra long)) So hard to see your son suffer and grieve, knowing there is really nothing you can do to make it…
-
Lanette, thank you VERY much for the “Help Desk” hint for when calling Social Security. Margaret does your oven have a “proof” setting? Would that work for your yoghurt? Rosemarie, another potty training tip, take the pup out immediately after feeding and wait with him/her until s/he produces, then treat and praise like…

Belated welcome @qupo6! Heather, Velux skylight broke all by itself? I’d be shaken too, thankful no one was hurt. Condolences to your son on the loss of his friend and boss. Humming and watching calming videos helps to lower my blood pressure, good luck! Terri not sure I’ll ever catch up either, but what you and Lisa said…

From skimming pgs 12-15 Belated welcome Dinks2422! Sorry, I missed what you want to be called, and your general locale? Beth “InterMitten fasting” LOL! Vicki I’m amazed that there oare no health care related openings for someone with your experience. Brava for saying a big “No thank you!” to phone sales. Mo you continue to…

From back on pg 10-12 ;{ Belated welcome @sjcook23 Sharron from Northern Virginia! Vicki prayers your DH’s surgery went well. Kylia what would you recommend to sweep/vacuum up all fir cones and needles from our yard? Is there such a thing as a yard vac? Machka never watched SWF, too scary. Likewise avoided “Waiting for Mr.…
-
Welcome @brigittethomson ! What a stressful year. Sorry for the loss of your parents and imho, selling your home of 18 years also counts as a loss to be grieved. Hope the two foot surgeries brought you relief and improved mobility. I miss the daily feed too. :cry: Rebecca, how dare he indeed! IMHO if Joe checked the dryer…

Invested most of yesterday in learning my way around Gmail, imported email addresses into contacts, drafted spreadsheet with links to line dances and created new calendar format. My friend T has been doing these tasks for the past few years and wanted out, so it’s my turn. Drew the line at creating fliers for special…

Today’s gratitude: Joe’s really putting in the effort to get along with Mooch, researching poodles on the internet, reporting every time his training efforts succeed. There’s history here for another time, I’m just grateful for NOW. Kylia wanted to thank you for your “make the best choices you can” in your posts.…

Heck yeah, welcome back Carla @minicooper452! You’ve been missed. KJ So very glad to see you, are your DD, SIL and grands still hoping to move closer?

Barbie ((hugs)) and thanks for continuing your faithful leadership, like a clock ticking through the thunderstorm and earthquake through which you’re living now. Carol ((hugs)) and extra ((hugs)) for the stress of trying to find your way through that maze to your DH. Year end summary later, just a quick pop in to recharge…

Still behind, here’s a belated welcome @vwiemer Inspired by all your reflections on goals, systems, words of the year etc, had to look up mine. Oops, there it is at the bottom of my signature :laugh: “2024: Strengthen: body, mind, heart-connections” Mind, nothing. Body, work in progress, committed to BB&B in addition to…

From way back pgs 7-11, Lanette and Rori where did you find/which brand of hydroxyapatite containing toothpaste did you get? DDS has been watching an old crown and found some “stickiness” at the edge, but didn’t even try to sell me on a treatment plan until the implant$ are done. Would like to head off further drilling. .…

Yesterday’s gratitude: power stayed on throughout the longest, wildest lightning storm I’ve ever been in. Thought of Lisa’s thunder. V. unusual here on the coast. Today’s whiine: my iPhone isn’t charging. Petty stuff compared to what some of y’all are going through, pls forgive. From way back on pg 6, Lanette nope, didn’t…

Warmest and Merriest of Christmas and Hanukkah wishes to you all! Have missed you muchly. Still catching up on reading only to pg 4... Barbie I think of you with thanks whenever I remember you saying something like “if you’re not hungry enough to eat an apple, then you’re not hungry.” My body is happier when I swap an…

Today’s gratitude: When I told Joe I thought I’d heard it raining around 5, he immediately said “Water room.” Sure enough, tanks over full, overflow tube pouring water onto the floor. Joe turned off the pump and the intake. Texted Help! To water guy, he called, but he’s in El Paso. He’ll send his helper, maybe today, to…

Barbie, thanks, that makes sense about your friend. I use cruise control to keep my speed within limits… :naughty: You are right about trying to control or improve others, and vice versa. Loving conversations ;} On your recommendation, checked out a Clare Pooley book but can’t remember the title just now ;) Okie so glad…
