Debbie I remember those hard plastic rollers, and even worse, the ones that looked like a net covered spring with brushes poking through. Yuck. How much does your mini chainsaw way? What model is it? I’ve been wanting one but fear my wrists are too weak to manage one. Lisa, so thankful to hear the Skyrizi worry has been…

Lisa is the nearest physio therapist in Fayetteville? Lynn love that Lulu! Lanette, yep still taking the COMB supplements. Was thinking about stopping Classic Fit dlasses, but guess I have to keep on keepin’ on if I don’t want to go back onto Alendronate. Rebecca love the meadowfoam pics. What does her husband’s family do…

DEXA results, lumbar spine worsened but no fractures, hips improved. Will be an interesting chat with MD at annual. Lorna damtheluck. Makes your Karate achievement that much more inspiring. Bravissima! Heather lovely table! Kay down a pound? Attagal Possum. So glad you found her safe and sound. Lisa thank you so much for…

It was so warm line dancing at the Elks yesterday that I took off my gloves and hoodie, as did another gal who’s always cold. We are SO GLAD winter is over! DEXA scan followup this morning to see how I’m dong off the Alendronate for 2 years. Fingers X’d. Blustery winds since late May will finally calm tomorrow, and it will…

Thanks ProudlyBlonde Lynn respresenting the blonde community. It’s tough job but somebody has to do it! ;) No need for specific location but general locale helps us keep you straight in our minds, would you be comfortable with something like Rocky Mountains or Gulf Coast? Barbie, oops I see you beat me to it, thanks.…

Belated weekly check in: Average WT down to 132.5 for last week in May from 132.9, hope it could be a trend.Average steps dipped down to 7331 from last week’s 7609, but made goal 4 days of 7. Ps@2s habit still solid AF days in May summary later… Yesterday’s spa day eased the soreness. Barely 3500 steps, but remembered…

Lisa OMG. Prayers said for GodMomKim and good wishes whooshed her way. Still stiff and sore from my little tumble so wimped out on Classic Fit class and line dancing. Soaked in the hot tub instead. Barbie just finished Death on Tap, and enjoyed it. Will look for more of Ellie Alexander’s books. Have you read her pastry…

Evelyn, Tracey, Barbie, Sue, Rebecca, Lanette, Margaret, Beth, Allie, looks like you might be able to see the aurora borealis tonight? Alas we’re too far south. Flea? https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental Lorna sorry you got trolled. Most of us here don’t do the friend…

Thanks Barbie, like a clock ticking in a thunderstorm you model calm consistency for us all. <3 So Machka, are you prescient? Tripped on a root on the pack walk yesterday and landed on my knees, forearms and forehead. Nothing broken, thank goodness, just bruises and scrapes. Whew! Heather, how does English asparagus differ…

Rebecca I tried watching Brilliant Minds, but it was a little too dark for me. ;{ Belated welcome back @LSamara Lorna, and brava for the green belt! Night time snacking is the downfall of many here, especially me ;} Rosemarie thanks for “Britain’s Most Historic Towns” and”Hidden Villages” I can watch on Amazon Prime in the…

So thankful for the warmer weather, despite the WIND. Started pruning the rhodie that blocks Joe’s view of the driveway. The challenge will be to thin enough so he can see what he wants to, without murdering the beautiful flowering shrubs. Got part way through the big white one, will work on it some more tomorrow after he…
-
Good news from the certified arborist yesterday, mostly. The wound on our young Giant Sequoia was likely from a raccoon or squirrels. It did not go through the cambium layer. He saw no evidence, holes, sawdust etc to indicate a bark beetle infestation. A little natural dieback due to shade from surrounding Sitka spruces,…
-
Machka con VERY grats on taking off those litres of soda! Love “Welcome to the chair.” Mandy I have to log every bite, lick or sip to progress. And getting a food scale was a real eye-opener. Good luck! Heather, love the spruced up front, the porkpie pics and the chair! Rebecca what you said about too many ”goal clothes”…

No line dance class today, Elks was closed for the Memorial Day holiday. Was kinda hoping there’d be no Classic Fit class, but alas, there was. Only 8 people showed up and BOY did she work us hard. I even felt an abdominal muscle or two, amazing as I’ve often claimed to have none. Dogs to powerline and Jeopardy walking to…

Barbie, which cozy mysteries set in small town Cape Cod are you reading? Always looking for a good, cozy series. Rori thankful for that dream answer from your DH. ((hugs)) Heather, what a tribute to your design, that Johnny wants to redo his room! Will wonders never cease? Tracey love the deck but even more that you are…
-
Ssslugs! In the mini-greenhouse. Tiny one in pot of poppy seedlings, medium sized one going up the wall. [shudder] Maybe they were drawn by the warm, humid environment but how do they know to get up the deck and under the plastic? Yuck!!! Kay bless you and bless you and bless you. Lavender/Possum looks like a sweetie. Does…
-
Rita love love love Lucy. Yay DH! Welcome back Heidi from NC, that mold exposure sounds scary, grateful you’re healing. Lisa, Ancient peoples left trash piles too, archeologists call them “middens”. But as a fourth generation city gal I’m appalled at the sick-making ordeal you’ve been through. Thursday was a stroll with T…

Reading every post but catching up slowly, only through pg 11 Tracey neither will I agree with Michaela about the sweetness of snakes. Did she never hear the story of the woman who rescued a frozen snake? Tag line went something like “You knew I was a snake when you took me in.” 😬 Heather thanks for the advice, my GP puts…
-
Machka well done on the exercise and kilos gone. Love the Mothers’ Day meme. Tracey yours to Allie, so insightful. Love your mum’s smile, your and Kaitlyn’s smiles and the hanging basket ;) Heather I’d love to read whatever you wrote about food. Even the things I would never eat, you make them all sound so delicious and…

Kylia hope the car show is good relaxation from your busy season and unpleasant customer. Safe travels. Machka sounds like they have you working two jobs at once. Congrats on the audit results. Wow, that is one spendy pottery course. Lisa yours to Mo, just perfect. Barbie never thought to grow sunflowers or blue pumpkins…

I am in tears. Look what arrived in the mail today. Never in my life did I expect… Will catch up with y’all later Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD May focus: Just one thing from the OMG room 2025: Chose NOW: to move more than yesterday (5 sit to stands every potty break no excuses), fuel…

Kylia, bravissima for remaining nicotine free! AND portioning out healthy fruit, veggie and cheese snacks. You’ve got this! Debbie, thankful your mom wasn’t hurt in the accident. Bartering fresh veggies for nice meals-brilliant! I so envy you your Aqua Zumba. Kim ((hugs)). Maybe not dreaming, wouldn’t be the first time a…

New teacher does “Classic Fit” not Better Bones and Balance. Today’s emphasis was on biceps and triceps, exercises similar to the Strong Women Stay Young routine with 3 sets of 8 reps each. Will see if Wednesday deals more with quads and glutes. Teacher is expectably perky. We’re all sad. . . Kay that spiritual growth…

Barbie, thanks for another month, another chance, another fresh start. In preparation for our church’s kitchen remodel both fellowship committees emptied out all the “stuff” from the cabinets, storage racks, closet and island. None of us were prepared to decide what to donate, what to dump, what to keep so we just piled it…
-
Oh Kay, what a shock! ((hugs held extra extra long)) Rori so glad to hear from you. Whooshing good monitor news energy your way. Thanks, Machka I’ll check my multivitamin for B9/folic acid content and compare with Megafol5. Michele so glad you’ve found a way to communicate with W. Keep up the good work. Epsom salts provide…

Barbie, at line dance class last week, our stand-in teacher revived “Wave on Wave”, saying, you all know this one, right? Yah, I did back in Boise 20 years ago, but couldn’t dredge it out of long ago memories… Rebecca Vaseline is my backside’s friend… just sayin’ You’re stuff is just stuff is another reminder that people…

Tina outside might not be safer depending on how tall and nearby other buildings are. In SF the Loma Prieta Quake falling debris crushed cars and covered sidewalks feet deep. You are right there is not really time. That quake sounded like an oncoming freight train. Kylia what Tracey said about the work you take home. Hope…
-
Belated welcome @Purplecat52 ! Logging food is a real eye-opener. Would you let us know what you like to be called and your general locale? Lanette and Tracey, Mama gave me Toni perms every six months from when I started school until I was 13 and put my foot down ;} Kylia and Lisa wow, what accomplishments! Exhausted just…

Belated welcome @pamiede in Bryan MS! What a horrible setback. All good luck and wishes to you. Pip oh nooo! ((hugs)) and SMOOCH that pooch for me. Tracey love the Lunch with Girlfriends poem. Glad for Rodger’s excitement about the new assignment, but even gladder to hear he spent some time with you. A little dot of light…

Allie I’m v. thankful the c difficile was negative, but now what? Any more tests scheduled? Lisa yay for the BadBoy. Already saving your body and Corey’s. Would love to see a pic of the stone terrace. Barbie love the pic of you on the John Deere. Ginny really admire your food plans (chicken breast in salsa!) so soon after…
