  • Today’s gratitude:found vehicle bill of sale form on OR DOT website so Joe doesn’t have to go online :laugh: or into the office; DDS forms received in email. Perfect weather for planting the last of the violas. Cool (high 60’s) but calm so sun felt warm on my back. Calm and pleasant for dog group too. Enjoyed it as front…
  • Today’s gratitudeT’s gracious offer to chauffeur me to/from oral surgeon. Machka and Tracey “- If I do eat in the morning, it's like I've turned a switch on, and I'll clean out the house, eating anything that's not moving and maybe the occasional thing that is.” Me too, especially a carb heavy breakfast on arising. Vicki…
  • Today’s gratitude: 5 of 12 skeleton violas in the ground. Rebecca you HAVE had an emortional year and you do deserve to feel better. Good luck! Lanette “spent the first few decades of our marriage struggling to conform to expectations that weren't really me.” My struggle was conforming to what I thought were Joe’s…
  • Today’s gratitude:Joe suggesting he pick me up from the DDS. I was shaky so took him up on his offer. He’s come a long way from back in the day when I had to take a taxi home from the ER. We both have. DDS couldn’t save the bridge, sectioned it off, smoothed off the bad tooth's stub and referred me to an oral surgeon for…
  • Today’s gratitude:T telling me about chair yoga class at the library. Karen :love: to see you popping in. Would love to hear more from you. Likewise Flea, whooshing energy your way. Debbie sounds like you had a pleasant anniversary meal at least. Sorry, so sleepy that everyone else’s posts have gone out of my mind. Time to…
  • Ginny oh no, not again! :sick: Sandy like your paintings. “Didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted but I learned from it.” Sounds like a metaphor for life ;) Carol what you said about time and prayer healing. Amen, sister. ((hugs)) for what you and your sister went through, and for what you're going through with your DH. Lisa…
  • Heather as I was reading your “monetize” advice to Tracey I was picturing you in a beret on the sidewalk with an easel and display of your art as if in Paris. Then I read your “informal exhibition” thoughts. Go for it! Ginny when your done with your slacks, I have a blazer whose cuffs I’ve “hemmed” with scotch tape, but it…
  • Today’s gratitude: fiber. Just sayin’ Channeling my inner Rebecca, added chicken, cabbage, snow peas, green onions and peanuts to Dr. McDougall’s Pad Thai soup for first meal (instead of oatmeal and veggie breakfast sausage). Couldn’t eat it all, so had leftovers for snack after dog group. Think it helped me minimize the…
  • Tracey “…as the stress is leaving, I’m getting me back.” Thankful to hear it and that your doctor has written that you cannot return to your former job. Whew! Sue you encourage me. Will discuss possible podiatry with new MD when I get in to see her. Annie what Lisa, Barbie, Tracey, Lanette et al said. You are one strong…
  • Rory “Lifetime movie” I am sooo happy for you!!! KJ only a few months til your DD,SIL,grandsons move close to you? Eeee! Rosemarie “plan to walk the beach, watch the sunset, read and listen to an audio book” sounds like a great plan to me. Safe travels. Lisa Egg’s quite the effective screen time timer ;) Heather :love: tea…
  • Belated best birthday wishes Tracey! Tina waterfalls and otters, si! Ziplines :noway: Barbie ((hugs)). An infection presenting as a sprain? Scary! Good thoughts that the infection is quickly cured with no side effects from the treatment. Ginny safe travels and enjoy your time with YS and DIL. Margaret love the…
  • Cold hands and feet, always and forever. Frequently wear gloves indoors. Sometimes socks even to bed. Today was an exception, got so warm at line dance class I actually took off my sweater. ;) Kim yours to Lisa. And YIKES about the Medicare before Social Security insurance billing. :rage: Lisa your “life is nothing at all…
  • Today’s gratitude: recommendations: Lanette’s of Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series, Lisa’s of Brokenwood. Had to turn on the subtitles to comprehend the accent. Wish I’d had them for our Kiwi fire chief when I was board secretary. ;) Thinking to change up my morning readings, they’re getting repetitive. Perhaps I…
  • Belated welcome @Tracergirl. If the scale is stuck are your measurements improving? Machka :love: the intorvertdoodles self care meme. Heather :love: the painting. The layers and layers and depth, I feel as if I were standing in your home looking out through the dining room being drawn into the garden. Lovely. Lisa hooray…
  • Yikes! Skip a day and it turns into 4 days and 10+ pages!!! Belated welcome sspell1958 , @lolitahuggins and @mitchandsamsmom ! Machka “scorpions and jackjumpers” had to google jack jumpers and scroll through a lot of basketball sites to get to the jack jumper ants you have there. Yah no barefoot there for me! Barbie love…
  • Lisa thanks for the Brokenwood recommendation. Requested from library. Carol glad you caught that $400 charge. Rosemarie so sorry you got C-19. Please take all the time you need to completely recover. The fatigue can just hang on and on… Yesterday’s (9/3) gratitude: legs way less achy, glorious ocean views on Sunday’s…
  • Lisa yup that’s Tumble. She’s a Daddy’s girl. Barbie that “never miss an opportunity to keep my mouth shut” is a spiritual principal I need to adopt :laugh: Debbie Carquinez bridge closed from Thursday to Tuesday on the Labor Day holiday weekend? Must be some major repairs! Kim that is one lucky cat, as are your neighbors.…
  • US199, one of the 3 routes into our remote rural area, has been closed since Aug 22 due to the Smith River complex of wild fires. It reopened Friday for commercial traffic only (so our Amazon shipments could get through ;>). This evening at 6pm it was reopened for public travel. This is huge as the detour (US101 N through…
  • Welcome @denisecal ! Would you say hello to my birth city for me? Aches, ugh hate ‘em. They’re worse when I’m sedentary. If I can make myself get up and move, even just a little, legs always feel better. Heather :love: hearing how contagious your decluttering is and that you’re back to your 5K. Pip 2K miles and a confirmed…
  • Barbie thanks as always for the new thread. You are our rock! Allie you ran over your foot? Like Tracey, your “little friend” would have scared me. ;) Belated welcome @aidengeorgeinfo. Welcome @carlaluvs2sing Carla from NC, lots here love to sing, Rebecca, Margaret, others (Sue in Wa?). I love to sing but because I also…
  • Barbie :love: the Bodhi and Bessie pic and update. So glad Bessie is being more active. That’s what happened to Tumble when we got Shadow. Think she missed her best bud-Scooter. We all did. ;’{ Now she has a puppy to boss around. :laugh: Ginny “No need to collapse until you know what each thing is.” Thanks for the sound…
  • I’ve had better days. Today’s gratitude: I had one this morning, honest! But it’s gone right out from my head. Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD 2023: Be of good cheer. August: Move more, fuel better (less sugar), live NOW
  • Rebecca rejoicing for you! Rita 16 dry days? Bravissima! Barbie ((hugs)) house training, while jarring for those of us used to more mature dogs, will happen. Dixie’s years of confinement overcame her natural instinct not to soil her nest. She was also a submissive urinator so we learned that harshly spoken “NO!” did not…
  • Thank you all for the prayers, hopes and good will. Goddaughter, family, animals and house safe though ashy. The cookies I baked to take with to GodDaugher’s kids are now in the freezer. Every time I walked past, I snuck one out. :naughty: Now they’re out of sight and hopefully out of mind. Machka the procrastinator meme –…
  • Belated happy anniversary wishes, dear Carol! So sorry to hear life has been unpleasant the past few days. Hope it improves immediately. You are instantly recognizable in that pic. Ginny delighted the med change has you feeling better. Salute you for wanting to see that issue resolved and see the task force through. You’ll…
  • Prayers please for my goddaughter, her husband, six children, two dogs and assorted chickens. They suddenly have to evacuate from their home as winds are whipping fires toward their town. Now I’m thankful I decided not to risk the trip, but very very very worried. Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
  • Was whining to the receptionist that I hoped “it’s not a cavity” when I caught myself and flipped it to “I hope it’s JUST a cavity and not the bridge!” Be careful what you wish for… Just an accountability check in. Will read later. Gratitudes: 8/26 the internet and FaceBook for wildfire updates. 8/25 That I still have…
  • Welcome @yb7qd7zng5 Rosa from MI! :love: your smile. Look forward to meeting your dogs too ;) The “AHMOD” in my signature stands for Ageing Hippie, Mother of Dogs. :laugh: Welcome @readynhealth Ready in Calif! Congrats on being so close to your first goal! Lisa thanks for the aging article. Ginny any more thoughts on the…
  • Welcome @deejoan. After you bookmark the thread: , click your profile pic and "Bookmarks" will list those you’ve saved. Kate so good to see you posting again, despite the rough year. Hope your PT gave you some warm ups to do before the stretching to make it less painful. :cry: Ginny “when [the legs] feel better I slide on…
  • Rebecca gratitude for Owain’s call is flooding my heart. Rejoicing he’s safe (and repentant). Heather Thanks for your insight and for sharing your honest replies to Edie’s and Bea’s questions. Lisa :love: the happy in Hawaii pic. Kay Think I’ll pass on Contexto, but may try Phrazle and give Connections another try. Cynthia…
