  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Karen in VA would you remind me how to post gifs from yoursmiles.org. Posted dancing couple by mistake and now can't figure out how to post the "oh well" or shrug. T and I convoyed to Lone Ranch beach where we parked and watched the king tide waves crash and splash around the rocks. Coastal…
  • The very happiest of birthdays to you, dear Janet! Lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s OOPS didn’t take BP yesterday after all. Was up early, finished readings before daylight and went straight to doing T’ai Chi on the deck. [url] [/url] Heard the term “pharmacy desert” for the first time. When Walgreen’s bought BiMart’s pharmacies, they transferred rx’s to local Walgreens.…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Went out to the deck to try T’ai Chi before daylight. Dogs were having none of it. Soon as the recorded voice began, they started barking. They insisted on coming out to the deck, as if to watch my back, then promptly curled up and went to sleep. Some guard dogs! :laugh: Found a newt?…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Annie ((hugs)) Beth thanks for the recipe. Looks easily downsized, modified to include other veggies, and yummy. Except for the cilantro. ;} Snow?!? And yes, grocery inflation is real on this coast too. Time to use at least one pantry/freezer ingredient in every main meal. Rebecca con VERY…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Maybe it WAS the sauerkraut, down 3.3 lbs yesterday. Heather con VERY grats on Hovarian Author of the Month. Going outside your comfort zone earned a reward that will bear many dividends. Including “Well I NEVER” to BBC Sussex Radio interviewer? Brilliant! Welcome @DisneyBound22 Dis in WI.…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Thank you Barbie. That Scream meme was me on the scale this morning. Too much Munching ;) Ugh. Gained almost 4 lbs this month. This before Halloween candy, Thanksgiving feast, Christmas cookies, homemade toffee and adult fudge. Can’t blame it all on the edema which has mostly receded. Could…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Oops. I see my spoiler typo exposed you all to the rant. Sorry. Machka “someplace safe” boy, does that sound familiar! Allie sorry you’re suffering, glad you’re taking care of yourself. ((hugs)) KJ I think you are “truly an amazing and strong woman” just like Lanette, Machka, Barbie, Katla,…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s 28: Ask yourself “Will this still matter a year from now?”: Needed good strategy for dampening over reaction to not just one but two pharmacy phkups today. (rant) [/spoiler]1. Booster at Brookings RiteAid. Joe had an appointment at 10:40 for his booster. When he arrived in the pharmacy area…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Not just a break in the rain, but gorgeous summery day. Sunny, 70 degrees, doing make up T’ai Chi on the deck had me sweatin.’ Strategy review with financial advisor, steady on course. Only change, transfer this year’s gains into a Roth IRA, pay taxes now, protect future earnings from…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Lovely stroll with T and Shadow at Harris Beach State Park campground. Alas, I’d overlooked the new time announcement in the dog group emails, so missed all but the last 20 minutes. Kylia, Hooray for 3 days exercise in a row. I’d stick with that for at least a few weeks until it really…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s This morning as I fed the dogs, was musing on how effective morning routine/linked habits have been, when… Joe invited me to go to the beach with him and the dogs. YES! An opportunity not to be missed. Misty walk through the wetlands and along an angry sea. Tide was out but not very far so we…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Late afternoon was feeling “off”, headache, nauseated. Feet and ankles unusually swollen. Changed dinner plans to soup and early to bed. Seems to have helped. Lisa that much water weight/edema is so very very scary. Any clue what triggered or caused it to abate? Self interested questions here…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Feeling better today, arm less sore, headache mostly gone. Got dogs down to powerline during a little break in the rain. Do I feel better from having walked dogs outside, or was I able to walk outside because I felt better? Julie minutes are of monthly fire protection district board meetings.…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Spent the day on minutes, despite sore arm and headache. Reward was zoom happy hour with C and T. CI way over CO and fewest steps since June. Just skimmin’ as it feels like there’s some grit or an eyelash poking my eye. Just not up to par, oh wait, had a jab yesterday, could that be it?…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Pfizer booster today, immediate metallic taste, sore arm, minor headache. Felt well enough to take dogs to powerline and make step goal marching to Clanadonia on YouTube. Kim in Brisbane I am so jealous of your aquarobics! Con VERY gratulations for taking off those inches. Julie, what Kim in…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Short on steps and energy. YouTube bagpipe massed bands to the rescue. 55 minutes counting as today’s half hour of Line Dancing ;) Machka I’ve heard that thymol (a component of Oregano) has demonstrated some anti-viral properties as well.…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Strained, pasteurized, bottled apple pressings. 2 gallons is a lot! Ran out of jars, had to use bowls and even ice cube trays. Took up an entire shelf in the refrigerator. Was happy to give some to walking and dog group buddies. Joe won’t drink it, didn’t come from the grocery store ;} Julie…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Heather, yours, Mary’s and Rebecca’s to Kim :laugh: Vicki prayers for your DH’s tests today, may they reveal issues that are easily repaired. Julie 30 pages, WOW! If we won millions in the lottery: 1-ask our financial advisor to recommend a lawyer 2-meet with trust officer at bank 3-set aside…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Thanks Machka. I was thinking about medical appointments, but guess most of those could be by phone. Like Michele, I think if our government tried such a strict lockdown, rebellion and anarchy would result. Thanks Heather! And con VERY grats on the final edits. Barbie I :love: that pic of…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Heather, his smile says it all. Happy Birthday Johnny! Lisa your favorite musicals are mine too, except I’d add West Side Story. Brigadoon is a real fave but yes to On a Clear Day… I still hear “Come Back To Me!” when I’m whisking anything. :smile: Katla ah yes, Covid, another reason I should…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Annoyed with myself for allowing guest to choose time, so felt obligated to offer lunch. The annoyance robbed me of energy so important daily routines seemed overwhelming, including checking in here. Vicious cycle. If pressed, next time offer to meet for coffee outside, not here. Kylia big…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Mr. Robin discovered the huckleberries outside my office window. Winked at me and flew away. Lisa :love: the pic of your beautiful DD and charming Levi.

  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Yesterday was in such a hurry to shower and meet T for hike, looks like I skipped taking BP.Oops. Devoted today to grant research and meeting prep so Joe volunteered to take dogs to the powerline for the first time in months. So grateful to see him step up and out. Lisa [shudder] Reminds me…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Lovely long walk with T. Half hour standing chat with long-missed D. Grocery shopping and recycling. Over 10K steps left me too pooped to line dance for 30 mins. Maybe tomorrow in between fire district grant research and board meeting prep. Heather, I’m a little startled to see a palm tree in…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Earlier this week I harvested the seed pods from the bolted mixed mustards. Popping the seeds out of the pods and straining them out from the stems and chaff made me think about how labor intensive grain production was in the pre-mechanized day. Harvesting, threshing, winnowing, all such a…
  • A warm, bounteous and Happy Thanksgiving to Tracey, Evelyn, and all our Canadian friends! Even Machka in exile ;) Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Freddie’s was full of people but those shelves that weren’t blocked off for the remodel were half empty. Will try BiMart for Jiffy corn muffin mix and Del-Cur for pea gravel, terra cotta flower pots and saucer, maybe even a heavy duty plant caddy to replace the broken one under Mama’s ficus.…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Heather , Boo, indeed, for hemochromatosis. :love: the pics. ImHo if your DH’s sister thinks her boyfriend doesn’t get sufficient family attention, could she give more than 2 days’ notice of birthday celebrations? To avoid next year, note his bday on your calendar and ask dh a month in…
  • "Get to do"s and "chose well"s Julie yes my walking partners are not strict in their schedules. T is my gal friend/walking and chatting buddy, we walk when we’re both free at the same time. Shadow’s ready to walk 24/7, as is Tumble, my other dog. ;) Heather, like KJ I see you in your grandfather’s eyes. Rita ((hugs))…
