  • Finallly finished July and starting August. Barbie thank you for your faithful, consistent leadership. :love: Katla, like Karen and others, I’m rejoicing to learn your DH was strong enough to fly with you to Illinois. ((hugs)) held extra extra long. Tracey Scammers, ugh, spoofing local numbers, :rage:. I don’t pick up, if…
  • KJ… “we love eachother. Yes?” YES! Margaret, well said. Flea “evidence of healing” so thankful to hear it! Ginny your debacle made me smile and remember the many many times I was reminded that “when in doubt, check the cables.” Barbie hope you can get into the retina specialist quickly. Pip :love: the “sit” seat cushion ;)…
  • Still so far far far behind... Pip hooray for PT! Fingers Xd the CT scan gives good news. Barbie :love: your weekly thank you to the well-behaved appliances. We’ve replaced the stove, one toilet and the washing machine. Will start thanking the refrigerator, other toilet, dryer, heater and the water pump. Lanette we have…
  • Days and days behind, catching up one page at a time. Tracey, scary about the interac-(damnautocorrect)/Canadian debit card system being down. How did I not even hear that on the news?!? Fingers X’d for the new job application, and how nice to be invited ;) Heather no microwave here ;) but Mr. Google found me several Cuban…
  • KJ :cry: you kiddos and their parents (regardless of their beliefs) are so blessed to have you. Impressive and inspiring plants eaten list. Heather your “some people think . . .” suggestion seems good to me. Thankful for Johnny’s instincts and the freezer fix. Carol with you about the electronic controls, but doesn’t seem…
  • Michele the laundromat sticker shock was only two or three times what I remembered from decades ago, but OH! The sticker shock for a new washing machine !!! And that’s just Mr. Google, it will be more from local company with installation and disposal of old. :astonished: Thanks for the “I can’t believe this has no sugar”…
  • Bear knocked over garbage can and dragged to drive but couldn’t get in to spread trash around, thanks to Joe’s hand-crafted spike stick topper. Changed linens, started excavating laundry mountain. After one load done, found water running over floor into bath room and kitchen. Joe checked hoses for leaks, dry as bones.…
  • This morning was our last dog walk on the beach by the Gold Beach Airport. Tumble got so many stickers enmeshed in her long fur, it took the entire trip home for me to get most of them out. Next nail trim trip we’ll walk the dogs in the local park, if I can’t persuade Joe to drive up to the Ophir beach. Much better- all…
  • Skimmed thread between “Creating a Fall Resistant Body” presentation at the library and line dance class. ((hugs)) and :love: to all. At class, dear friend C announced she and her DH are moving back to Colorado, due his medical issues. There was only one VA neurologist in the state and when he left, they did not contact…
  • Would have been my BFF’s birthday Sunday. eMailed her daughter, got text from her sister. We all miss her. Heather, Terri, Viv, Kate and all in the UK, saw London at 101F on the weather channel this morning. :astonished: Likewise Lisa, Rita, Suebdew and all in the triple digit/record-breaking heat. Hoping you all get…
  • Sue, ow! Hope your PT is as successful as mine has been Pip aaauugggh! How frustrating! Like Carla I’d be lost without the calendar, contacts and reminders on my phone. No “wallet” stuff though ;) Oooh Big Trees, is that at Calaveras Big Trees State Park? Viv it is so hard to make yourself move when your knee hurts, but I…
  • Just skimmin’ only through pg 32, time to snooze. Done: Lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD 2022: Be still and listen. July: Move more, fuel better, live NOW.
  • Carla 12 hours in a car with ANYONE else could cause me to do violence… Rebecca, “…Helping shouldn't make someone cry…” ((hugs)) Yours, Karen’s and others to Katla :heart: : Barbie “forget injuries, remember kindness” words to live by. Vicki yours to Rebecca, spot on. Good luck with the reviews, one of the worst things…
  • Monday the 11th invested 30 mins sorting paper, only able to purge 5 pcs, but organized into 3 piles: act on now, file now, try again later. ;) Cleared the deck for marathon minute writing session for last month’s fire district board meeting, barely in time for Wednesday’s, meeting :P Welcome @bethe Beth in upper south TX…
  • Minus 2.2 ft tide Thursday morning. Had Lone Ranch beach to ourselves for a good half hour before other folks started arriving and we had to leash up.

  • Just popping in to wish Kylia’s followup tomorrow is clear, good and painless. Heather what Leslie said to you and you to Machka, and what Edie said about having two GrandDads. That Johnny, he is a gem. Machka those birds have an intimidating look. Rhody is one smart cat. Welcome @donbonsully Bonnie in MN! You joined by…
  • Debbie ((hugs)) Bonnie in WY, con very grats on meeting your exercise goals this week. Take your measurements, sometimes when the scale is stubborn, the tape measure can be encouraging. Machka :love: the “dreams” meme. Could you start interviewing potential counselors? Talking it out really can help relieve some of the…
  • Oh @Katla49! Praying for your DH’s healing, for strength and comfort for you and yours. So thankful your DS and DD can be there with you. Saw you had trouble connecting here, hope it’s all solved? What Karen in VA said. (((hugs))) held extra long. Yesterday started well with wt down below this week’s goal. Continued with…
  • PT appt today was evaluation. Bad knee now can flex as far as good knee (130degrees). Good improvement in everything but step downs. New leg raise exercise really kicked my butt and hips, which are still sore but PT guy says sometimes strengthening hips can reduce knee pain. Heckuva tradeoff :P Heather walked 2 miles the…
  • Just skimmin’ as I’m pooped. Katla thinking of you and your family. Touch base with us when you can. Welcome @KinstugiJoy in NC! Logging every bite lick and sip is key. Another is weighing instead of measuring food. A real eye opener. Lisa introduced us to Kinstugi awhile back. Beautiful and stronger than before. Well…
  • The glorious morning drizzled into overcast and showers before noon. Can’t see any fireworks but hearing a few big BOOMs. Shadow barks to tell them to “STOP it!” The very happiest of birthdays to you Beth. You really are a Yankee Doodle Dandy! Lanette you’re inspiring me to get back to SWSY. Here’s the video I use, but add…
  • Done: Glorious morning after a damp, grey week. Grateful for the moisture to keep the wildfires at bay, but oh how my spirit lifts to see blue skies. Happy Independence Day to those of us in the US! So far only minimal fireworks noise, hooray. We’ll picnic on hot dogs, store bought beans, left over salad and watermelon,…
  • Glad I didn’t pack up my fleece when I pulled aloha shirts and summer slacks out from off season storage bag. Junuary has morphed into Julembrr. Heard of a yoga class on the sand at Harris Beach State Park. Strolled by to see how advanced and what gear if any. Silly me. They were all sitting cross legged on the ground. Not…
  • Happy “Halfway Day”! Marched in place to Jeopardy for the first time since April 28. Found myself smiling ;) Welcome @nsk1951 Niki from Batavia NY! Like Karen said, each of us was new, once ;) Always room for one more! Annie if your vacuum cleaner has a bag, put in some mothballs, helps to kill the fleas. Also puff some…

  • Skimmin’ tryin’ to catch up. Please know you all are in my thoughts daily.

Allie what Debbie said. glad your nephrologist is taking your condition seriously. Fingers X’d for clear answers and good path forward Monday. Annie “…peppy talking…”? Barbie…
  • Tried the intermediate line dancing class last night and managed almost an hour with no knee pain results. One dance had a backwards, three quarter turn so I sat that one out. Think those backward twist/turns are what aggravate the ol’ knee. Suddenly summer, it was over 90F in Harbor last night and the grange is NOT air…
