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…

Heather, when you know, you know ;) Happy for you and Johnny. Brava for the walk and the strengthened muscles firing! Yours to Tracy about journaling and hard conversations. Wisdom. Lisa you go gal! Envy you your building skills. So organized and accessible, well done! Joe would rough out stuff for me if I asked but it…

Debbie do you ever freeze your fudge? Miichele love that Vince chooses kittens over Christmas trees. ;) Tracey what a horror story. It’s probably a kindness that Rodger doesn’t remember, though very scary. SMH at Rodger’s sanding plan but very thankful your BFF can read your mood from a text “hi”. Rori sorry you were…

Barbie Sorry to hear Jake needs more surgery. No wonder all your coping mechanisms are challenged. It’s a lot. ((hugs)) Machka :love: the “real luxuries” meme. Truth. Was going to say that the idea of doing new things every day was exhausting, but then realized that at least twice a week I do new things, learn new dances…
-
Lisa yes to what Barbie said about your joy in the making. YES about exhaustion and handling stuff. Glad you could talk it through with your friend. Heather hooray for Johnny decluttering that cupboard. Brava to you for letting him get to it in his own time. Rebecca the condition of Athena’s baby doll made me think of your…

Lanette thanks for the #1 exercise link. Coach Ken calls these “hip hinges” and they’re a big part of his BB&B routine. Will watch Shrey Vazirs other videos, especially the one about knees. Rebecca “Pepperidge Farm peppermintified bark cookies” Thanks a lot. ;} Lisa “…do what I choose, not a whole lot of what I hope a lot…

Gratitudes: Friday-Barbie’s “If you won’t eat an apple, then you aren’t really hungry.” Fuji apples and cheddar cheese are doing better for me than Nugo dark chocolate sea salt vegan protein bars. Thursday-Wellcare ID card arrived. Joe’s pointing out Legends of the Celtic Harp performance announcement in the paper. Went…

@linder4866 Joyce? Always happy to see you stop by. Sue hooray for chair yoga. How long will the nieces stay to help their mom? Vicki ((hugs)). IMHO rest is what you need to recover from the years they overworked you. ((hugs)) Pip what a great gift for Kirby to give you and your friend. He sure is a keeper. However, I’d be…

Welcome @Latitude27N Diana on Padre Island, Coastal Tx! Mo I woke up wondering if that woman who sold her daughter, had been sold by HER mother. :heartbreak: SMH at that church lady, unclear on the concept imho. Lisa :love: Egg’s paw prints on your work table, look like a fabric pattern. Lanette take me back to XP with…
-
BB&B class wipes me out so much that at line dancing if there’d been a couch at the Elks I’d have lain down and snored. Maybe the protein bar I ate contributed to the sugar crashlike sleepiness. Next week will try nuts or an apple with cheese or a yoghurt or PBfit smoothie and compare the sugar/carbs with results. Heather…

Today’s gratitude: the good character models at BB&B, clouds of witness. @Joy1580vb, good to see you popping in! Penny in TX, “…focus instead on being a healthy disciplined person” good positive focus flip! Barbie “…yes, you can be the person you want to be.” Inspiring! Lisa do you think Egg could lead us to Lanette’s…

Thanks all for the dX. Yeast now how could I ever forget that? :laugh: Will start with ol’ faithful yogurt. :naughty: Heather your escalopes sound like a yummy veal piccata, sans capers. I dunnow, that model sure could be you… Lisa Egg’s mouse induced stomach age mirrors Mooch’s deer leg pukey tummy. Ah the joys of pet…

Barbie, whooshing healing, comfort and blessings to Jake, you and the pooches. Deeply grateful that you were able to start us off for November despite all you’re going through. ((hugs held extra long)). For all struggling with Medicare A, B, D, Medigap and/or Medicare C Advantage plans, contact your state SHIBA advisor for…

Last night danced for 90 minutes, less two songs I sat out. Thank$ Rori! Thank$Mo! Okie always good to see you popping in! Rita Oct 27 “national cranky…

Today’s gratitude: Vet thought the spot on Tumble’s forepaw was either a cyst or caused by a foreign object, not a serious concern unless it grows back. Part D for 2025 – Changing plans saves us $1150, worth the three hours invested. Lands End catalog came with my favorite color turtleneck. Was going to reward myself for…
-
Gratitudes: Monday-the incredible generosity of strangers. Sunday-rain eased to fog which cleared to stunning blue skies and sea by the time I got to church. Saturday- Joe making the effort to “be nice” to Moochie despite being occasionally annoyed. Friday-Our coastal library system and the special events they sponsor.…

Rita’s MRI/PT GoFundMe has met the $150 match requirement, means she has the copay for the first MRI. Please share so more donations come in to cover the second MRI’s copay and needed PT. Deeply grateful to all who donated to someone they’ve never met. Generous, loving hearts, all! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
-
Today’s gratitude: Working washing and drying machines, and the water and electricity to run them. Moochie 2, Squirrels 0. Tracey I enjoyed the new Matlock and liked Georgie and Mandy’s first marriage too, but am sad that “So help me Todd” was cancelled. That dragon is just a little too lifelike for me to be comfortable…
-
Rita, it pi$$es me off and breaks my heart that our for-profit healthcare system makes you choose groceries vs MRIs and PT. https://gofund.me/6160c12b Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

Today’s gratitude: Dogs competing for “cutest” during morning time with Joe. Three way tie ;) Belated welcome @PennyinTX and @eagles226. Start by logging every bite, lick or sip, it’s a real eye-opener. You can do this! Heather I started watching the Cas “forgot to deep clean” YouTube but stopped when she said “… this is…
-
Gratitudes: Sunday-Silver sea views on the way home. Saturday-YouTube for dawn blessing sung in Hebrew. Mooch and Shadow were calm and disengaged when two other dogs got into it at group. Friday-Nail trim tech said Shadow is a very good dog. Heather belated best birthday wishes to you both! :love: the pics. I’ll take a…

Gratitudes: Thursday: Blue sky, blue sea, warm sun when sheltered from chilly ocean breeze, such a beautiful place! Wednesday: Joe has expanded his comparison shopping to include on the laptop. Mr. “I-hate-them-dam-digits” has found Amazon and Walmart.com. Progress for someone who never checked a price before the pandemic……
-
Today’s gratitude: Mist never turned into a downpour at dog group today. Pooches damp but not sopping wet ;) Allie :love: that little punkin bottom. Michele, what is causing Vince to have to stop and rest? To be honest, all the decorating and undecorating you both do would utterly exhaust me. Annie attagal for walking in…
-
Today’s gratitude: Mooch came back from the lane when Joe called him. Somehow he got out from our fenced yard, Did he jump the fence/gate? Maybe… Heather thank you so much for the Minimalist Mom YouTube. Saved it to watch later. Rebecca I remember that scene! :laugh: Lisa no fair, we want to see your first YouTube as it is…
-
Gratitudes: Thursday: When Mooch was running toward the closing garage door, I yelled “Mooch, no!” and he turned around and ran back to me away from the danger of getting squished. Wednesday: Joe met neighbors walking their dogs. Shadow was well-behaved and they were able to chat. Machka, when I read “I figure I have about…

Annie its great to have you back! So glad you had such a good weekend. Richly deserved. Lanette thanks for the Bluetti EB3A info. See it…

Today’s gratitude: Hot tub, hot tub, hot tub. Darned ol’ rib is giving me fits, despite chiropractic care. Wimped out on BB&B class but managed to line dance for an hour. Hard to find comfortable position for sleeping. Ibuprofen helps but not as much as when yesterday I paired it with red wine. :devil: @kymarai Kylia we…
