  • Lanette, Heather, Katla was it you who mentioned Dr. Tim Spector’s work on the gut microbiome?

  • Husbands and vegetables, Joe was always a “pig for breakfast, cow for dinner” guy until he finally listened to the Dr. Now he actually eats plant based protein most days, stir fried with the bowl of fresh veggies I prep for him. While I was down for the count he added frozen mixed veggies most days. So grateful. We both…

  • Welcome @PatDMuddle and @honkflap! Machka No wonder you’re tearful and exhausted, losing the phone on top of reviewing that long chrisis. So glad you got it back, thankful someone turned it in.

  • Michele, it’s so hard, especially for men imho, to listen to our kids’ troubles and not try to fix them. Sounds like Vince is making progress. Safe travels! Vickie hope the gym helps you feel better. Kim and Debbie glad all are safe. Rebecca my favorite was Sea and Ski back in the day… or baby oil. Burned awfully every…

  • Accountability: Knee/leg pain changing, hope that’s a good sign. Will ask PT guy tomorrow. Got a pass from Tuesday’s sandwich-a-thon, think best to give knee a rest from standing so long.

  • Accountability: “You’re right!” Joe said those surprising words to me when I suggested putting a sheet over the patterned table cloth to make the puzzle pieces easier to see. Unfortunately, I responded with a whole body shock response, instead of simply smiling and saying Thank You. Next time I’ll do better. When will I…

  • Accountability: Very low minus tide yesterday morning. Tumble played in strange creeklets in the mudflats as tide receded. Some of them were deep and swift, got worried when Joe said it was like quicksand. Grateful when Tumble responded to “Come!”. Those training games have sure made a difference. Knee v. grumpy yesterday.…
