December: leaner/stronger/kinder than November. Accountability: Savoring my cocoa, biscotti and settling in for a good chat with you all. One of the best parts of my day. Thank you all. Katla thought of you this morning, as a hummingbird whizzed in and out of the shrubbery. Have yours returned? Heather we’re glad your not…

Beth, warning, here's some unasked for advice. Skip at will but not in a spoiler because I think it’s so very important. You and your families’ journey were up front in my mind the past hour while working with our GSD/Border Collie?/Flatcoat Retriever?/?? mix. Shadow struggles with a lick granuloma and lives most of her…

December: leaner/stronger/kinder than November. Accountability: Time to stop ordering clothes, hoping something will feel good and make me feel pretty. Returning a few poor choices. Note to self: Next time tempted to order clothes, invest 5 mins in line dancing or walking the dogs and see if that doesn’t make you feel way…

December: leaner/stronger/kinder than November. Accountability: Do good December 1: Spread kindness and share the December calendar with others. Here you go: https://www.actionforhappiness.org/media/1068309/dec_2021.jpg Thank you Barbie! You are our rock. Heather I really enjoyed Johnny’s round robin, would you give him my…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Note to self. Get the long hours of computer time research done BEFORE any scheduled massage. After wasted it. :grumpy: Machka who knew momma and baby wombats could be so cute? Barbie Dad was right! Pip what a spread! Great smiles. Heather, woo HOO! Lisa, right…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Oh Julie. So sorry to hear of your lost phone, broken computer and stolen scooter. Your neighborly herbal apero and nibbles sound delightful. “Hide paper mess in way i can find it again!” This is so me! Recent worksurface archeology unearthed a birthday card…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Debbie ((hugs)) “…(given up on a lot of things)…” :cry: I shouldn’t poke my nose in, but I feel there is a significant difference between accepting some annoyances/compromising/choosing our battles and giving up on a lot of things. ((hugs)) hope your break is…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Second attempt at Jane Golden T’ai Chi video, focused on shifting weight sloooowly from leg to leg. Yow! What a thigh workout! Michele, “…tiny ants” Yuck! [shudder] Rita best of luck to you! You are so brave to tackle substitute teaching unruly 3rd graders.…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Just skimmin’, too tired even to tote up the CI>CO for the day. Welcome @klou6! Would you let us know what you’d like to be called and your general locale? Oh and puppy pics are always welcome ;) KJ, misting up at your thoughtfulness. Well done! As a child of…

Limp, stringy, not crunchy. Note to self: do NOT buy frozen asparagus unless you plan to puree into cream of asparagus soup. :laugh: :sick: :laugh: Lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: So, Annie, writing it out last night did give me pip’s boot-in-butt, got me dancing and marching in place to make step goals. Thanks! This morning fired up the Jane Golden T’ai Chi video. Wow. Almost looks like filmed in slow motion, but the bird chirps tell me…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Lisa praying the procedure went well, gave clear direction for quick, effective treatment. ((hugs)) Flea ((hugs)) held extra gently. Margaret thanks for the tip on dealing with “… I have to check some info…” It never occurred to me that my sympathetic/emotional…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Margaret our cell phone service does not offer the option of paper invoices. To feed my hardcopy habit I have to log into my account, copy and paste the online statement into a word document to print it. There isn’t even a download to pdf or print from online…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Heather, ah yes, getting in trouble for being “phonemically weak,” been there too! I’ve learned to control it but it takes intense concentration which disturbs any conversational flow. Whatever is “Estuary” voice? Beth well done for persuading your mom. Fingers…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Heather, listened to your interview. :loved: hearing your voice, you sound plenty posh to me ;) A terrible topic handled honestly and with compassion. Incredibly brave of you. Imagine the numbers of people you’ve given hope of healing. Bravissima! Lisa hope…

Does anyone have an alternate way (FB, email) to contact Katla? Would you contact her with the link to this month's thread or ask if ok to share her contact info with me? Looks like in addition to the travel stress, she can't get to this month's thread. I've tried PM'ing her in mfp, no response. Thanks, Barbara, the…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Joe’s booster made his arm sore and gave him the aches. Hope it eases quickly, he really doesn’t need any more anxiety. Oops, belated best birthday wishes, Miss Kellie! The very happiest of birthdays to you Annie! Likewise, the very happiest of anniversaries,…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Machka your lot looks beautiful! Barbie thanks for letting me know about pet food delays. We buy 40+ lbs at a time and are set for months. Hope things smooth out by then. Also thank you for modeling the benefits of mindfulness. Has helped me cope with stronger…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Will take awhile to catch up. All ok at dermatologist, don’t have to go back ‘til Feb. Took Joe’s advice and stayed over as too tired to drive in rainy, windy dark. Right choice for safety; for burdening Joe with Shadow’s care, not so much. Katla safe travels,…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Bookmark brought me back to the last page I’d seen, hooray! Heather :love: the pics, especially the splendid ladies’ smiles. Does the cake soak in spirits while in tin? Wow, those dry robes ARE spendy. As for exhausting dreams, I used to be so happy to wake up…

November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October. Accountability: Thanks Barbie for teaching me the shortcut to bookmarks in my profile circle. Still miss the gold star :} Thanks Tina, like Carol said, that helps. That and Tracey’s and Barbie’s tip about the “calorie counter” link at the bottom of the page. Michele, sorry I…

Bring back the star at the top of the page to quickly get to saved threads, and yes bring us back to where we left off.

"Get to do"s and "chose well"s (Spoiler) Joe invited me to watch the end of the Robert Osborne 20th anniversary celebration recorded in 2014. Really enjoyed it but now I’m sleepy and jumpy (from the unusual late night tea) at the same time. :laugh: Funny, caffeine never used to bother me. Ah another joy of the years… Terri…

Thank you s1im62, that helps. snowflake954 agree!😜

"Get to do"s and "chose well"s (Spoiler) Feeling grumpy, got some correction from a friend. Fortunately it was on the phone or she’d have seen how it stung. No revenge Cheetos, but changed dinner plans to include red wine and chewy sourdough baguette, while keeping CI<CO. Now eyeballs abraded with forum’s new background,…

"Get to do"s and "chose well"s Sometimes disrupting routine is good, like last week when Joe took us to the beach. Yesterday and today not so much. Broke the link between activity before solitaire so it didn’t get done and almost forgot to take BP. Good things, sharing breakfast with Joe at oh dark thirty and walking while…

Heather no worries, I’m sure you were fabulous. Lisa, thanks! I’ll check that link out. Barbara Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

"Get to do"s and "chose well"s Back to September range of 141.1 from Halloween’s 145.1. Was typing “One foot in front of the other” but my fingers typed “one FOOD in front of the other…” so will go with it and try to put the veggies and protein in front of the sugary, starchy and salty. Heather what are ‘dry coats’ ?…

"Get to do"s and "chose well"s Heather, what Karen, Allie, Kim, Buff, Lisa, Julie, Evelyn and especially Katla said. Thankful you were able to notice and move with alacrity. Would you have been able to do that years ago? Bravissima! Karen, Thanks! trying again: Think I fixed the typos: Katla, the nearest Walmart and…
