Rebecca – rock hard brownies dunked in milk are quite good actually Lisa – I don’t sew much other than something straight. I used to sew a lot, but haven’t done much in quite a while. Those towel toppers look neat. I put frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries) in yogurt, let the berries thaw and that makes a “juice” for…

Lanette – did you find the necklace? I agree that restaurant food is too salty. Wish there was a way to get the salt out. You’d BETTER share those photos of the guys!!!! Barbara – lately I’ve gotten to playing mahjongg from the paper. Truthfully, I’m getting a little tired of this card (for the American mahjongg) so I’m…

Sleep – I have to keep on the same schedule, weekend or not, if I’m working the next day or not. Usually I get up at 5:30 and I need to keep that schedule even on the evenings preceding days I don’t work. Now Vince doesn’t have to do that. I love the fact that in this group, you learn so much from other’s experiences I…

Did an hour of HIIT and then in the water. I’ve found that I go in the pool, do my own thing, then join the water aerobics class when it starts. I’m just in the water for an hour. Barbie – I’ve asked a friend of mine in FL who is a real good artist if she would paint “that’s all folks” on a sign for me and she, of course,…

Lisa – beautiful quilt. Imperfections are what make it so special and you’re the only one who knows them. Use my 5 foot rule – if it looks good from 5 feet away, it’s good. Lanette – I love dandelion wine!!! Rita – you’re doing so well. I would never have guessed that there was yogurt in the macaroni salad barbie – what a…

Went in the pool then decided to finish trimming the weeds along the fence to the pool figuring that I’d get hot and then go in the pool to cool off only the pool wasn’t refreshing at all, probably around 89. Lanette – yea for choosing nuts I love beets but one night in the middle of the night I went to the bathroom and my…

Did a Power Hour DVD today then walked around the neighborhood. I’m getting to know the regular walkers...lol Then went to Food Lion since they put the wrong price on my rainchecks, then to WalMart. Pip – I see you got a Bosch dishwasher. I really like mine. Bosch is one of the highest rated ones. You know something? I…

Had a post and I don't know where it is. Michele NC

Worked then went in the pool. Had the appt with the sleep MD. Really, this is more for Medicare than anything else. He just looked, said “everything looks good”. Jess is going to be here this weekend. She’s said that she wants to go swimming. I’m going to ask them at the soup kitchen tomorrow if I can take a cake home. I’m…

Barb - no, I've never had this laser procedure before. Beth - maybe your husband would look at our stove? I'm just not sure if you need an LG relay or not. The stove was here when we moved to the house, but I haven't heard good things at all about LG service. Michele NC

tracey – I’m like you, poor in interviews. But leave me alone and let me do my job...that works. That’s probably why I’m at BK for almost 3 years now. They leave me alone and let me do my job. At one point one of the managers was constantly micro-managing me and I was about to quit. However, then she announced that she was…

Work and then bowling. Ceramics tonight Tracey – hope you get that offer. Rita – I never heard of using olive oil on macaroni salad, but it looked real good Olympics: I just find that I really don’t have time to spend watching it. And when I do have the time, there usually isn’t something on that I’m interested in Tues…

Annie – the doors outside to the storage room were chipping. I used this bonding primer. We use that on the door to the condo and then paint over it, and we don’t have a problem with the paint fading/chipping in the FL sun. I’m hoping that the same thing will happen in the NC sun which isn’t as intense Heather – you go…

KJ - I really want to keep the lines of communication open. As I've told you all before, we're sure that Pete was the one who badly abused Lexi (cat). And someone who abuses an animal is very likely to abuse a person. We know that he was emotionally abusing her when we lived in Kennett Square. I know this sounds bad but…

As I understand it, today is Mick Jagger’s 81st birthday. Way to make me feel old! A few weeks ago we texted Denise and told her we’d like to come up Aug 21, 22, and 23. I think PJ starts school on the 27th so I’d like to see him before school starts. She just now texted Vince that she’s going to be busy in Aug, they may…

pip – sure hope you’re better now. Take care of yourself. We need you Michele NC who is waiting for the dishes in the dishwasher to cool off before putting them away

Oops! Can't make the spinach feta pie because need the oven for that. Decided to make a chocolate pudding pie instead of the rice krispie bars we just had. Michele NC

Same old..same old around here. Did a body pump DVD and then water class yesterday. I’ve found that what works for me is if I do my workout then go in the pool and start swimming and then join the water aerobics class works for me. Went to CVS and asked for a raincheck. They refused to give it to me since they’d already…

Well, we did go to dinner at Red Lobster. I couldn't get over the prices! Had only water to drink. Was good for dinner, shrimp (not fried) and steamed cauliflower. But then I had this chocolate dessert. Well, I knew that Vince wouldn't share it with me, so I ordered my own and ate the whole thing. But it WAS good, even if…

Ginger – so nice to see you back! Congrats on the weight loss Last time we were at Denise’s, Pete said that PJ’s school teaches Math and Science all in Spanish. Not sure if this is correct. Still no word on the relay for my oven. I did take pizza home from the soup kitchen for Vince so we can microwave that. Vince talked…

Lanette – going out to eat is getting SOOO expensive. While we were traveling, I got an orange milkshake at Arby’s. A little over $4. I almost died. And it wasn’t all that good, either. And I didn’t get the large. Never again. Got one at a Wendy’s. Was only around $3 and it was pretty good. I noticed that BK’s price for a…

After work went and bought gas. $3.05/gallon. That’s a decent price. Trying to buy Crocs at a decent price since I don’t need them immediately, I can afford to wait. Amazon has them at a decent price, only they don’t have them in my size. Guess I just have to keep checking back to see if they have them in stock. Vince and…

Lanette – that would be wonderful if you could ask the lady about dry brushing with glazes Well, I picked some of the blueberries last night. Honestly, they are very small. But they are sweet. I did post a thank you and told her that now I have a stomach ache probably due to the way I picked. One for the mouth, one for the…

Tracey – do you know if you can use dry brushing on glazes? Everything I’ve seen on uTube is about acrylics I got some shorts from Penney’s. There is one pair that fits me well. Another pair, same manufacturer, same size, but it’s too big for me. Go figure! And I can’t return them since I took the tags off After work today…

Allie – how wonderful. Bet it feels good. Good for you standing up about your brother’s court date Debbie – yea for your mom!!! Let’s hope she doesn’t reconsider Did a body pump DVD then the water. I usually do “my” thing and then join the class when it starts. Went to CVS but they didn’t have the Cheerios that I wanted. I…

Rebecca – Oh, that Athena and Eli! Thanks for sharing We record TV shows and then fast forward thru the commercials. You have no idea how many times we’ve reached for the remote when we’re down in FL to fast forward and then realize that we can’t Thank you, everyone, for your kind sympathies for my friend. Actually, I’m…

KJ – you and your hubby walking sounds like Vince and me walking. I enjoy walking because it’s my “me” time. I like to look at the sights and smell the roses…. You know, another thing...when my mother passed I remember we were in a very hot spell. As a matter of fact, that was when my father first experienced a/c in a car…

Oops, the relay will be around $300.00, missed a “0” It’s 4:30 and surprisingly, Vince is grilling the chicken. I honestly thought he’d want to wait until later tonight. Then again, it probably won’t get much cooler. At least he’s in the shade. Like Lanette, a neighbor invited us to get blueberries from her bushes. I may…

Did a Core Cardio DVD. It’s really not for me. Then went for a walk around the neighborhood. There are times when my eyes really burn. The eye MD said it’s because I have dry eye and to use wetting drops 3 or 4 times/day. Well, there are times when I use them 5 times/day. Then again, there are times when I only use them…

Katie – sad as this may be, I never heard of that way of determining if something is a good source of protein or not. Makes sense. Thanks, I’ll remember that. I can’t believe that “callous” on the bottom of my foot is still hurting. I went to a specialist who sold me this insert (to the tune of $450 which Medicare doesn’t…
