Carla ... hope you had a wonderful anniversary! Karen VA ...glad you enjoyed your reunion. I have never gone nor received a notice that my class was having a reunion. I asked an old school friend in a note at Christmas one time if our class had ever had a reunion. She replied, by mail I might add, "yes, but no one knew…

Annie is correct that the format has changed on the MFP app. I use an iPhone and this is now what I see when I open up MFP. I get tired of the "fatty liver" ads, btw.

Tracey … so very sorry to hear of your daughter’s loss… Pip … Happy Birthday! Rita … funny story! Beth

Kim ... what happened to your brother's friend once he realized that everything he had been told was a lie? Heather and Karen in VA ... I would be cautious with suction cup grab bars ... they are ok for steadying yourself, but in an actual fall, the force of your weight could pull them off. Instead, consider attaching…

Lanette ... I'm so sorry that your husband is having health problems. Regardless of how he "feels" on Tuesday, I would still encourage him to see the doctor. During the years when stress was high (well, higher than normal), there were times when I considered leaving my husband ... even went so far as to pack mine and my…

Aww Pip! … hugs

Pip!

Barbara ... the Buffalo shooting is a travesty and our hearts are broken for all of those affected. Someone from outside of the community came to spread his hate. My family is fine. In fact, I was in Cleveland yesterday with my parents when we heard the news. Thank you for checking up on me. KJ ... I love seeing your posts…

Thank You ... for the sweet words regarding my early years artwork ... I did all of those over 40+ years ago! If I ever get the opportunity, I would like to take watercolor classes. I think that might be my favorite medium. Rebecca .. I have seen your sister's work before and think it's beautiful ...Karen's brother's work…

Karen in VA ... I came across these today. You had asked. Looking at them now, they're rather amateurish.

Heather ... the Wisteria are beautiful! Kylia ... I'm glad to see you posting again too. Perfectionism is a thief intent on stealing our joy. Edited: Your granddaughter looks lovely! Belinda ... Welcome! Beth near Buffalo

Tracey ... so sorry you had a bad day. I ditto the others ... men are horrible at communicating. Hugs. Vicki ... yay for the good doctor's visit! Kim ... Glad you will be able to get counseling through this difficult time. Annie ... I'm on the "no lunges" train too. Beth near Buffalo

Machka ... I was the one who asked for the links to the apps! Thank you! Beth

Neena ... Welcome to you as well! I'm also in WNY ... Southtowns ... Orchard Park Beth near Buffalo

Welcome Renae and Cheetah!

Barbie … thank you for moving us forward

Lanette ... Yes! My dad is a WWII vet and once his money runs out he qualifies for the veterans assistance. I've eaten many, many McDonald's meals over the years so I'm no McDonald's snob ... but this one in particular had both my husband and I not feeling too well. If your husband will eat it, get it for him! I think,…

Machka ... what apps are you referring to for high tone hearing loss and tinnitus? Margaret ... Lovely photos! Lanette ... I forgot about the dementia/hearing loss connection!! Thank you for reminding me about that. One, I need to realize my hearing aids are providing more than sound conditioning in preparation for…

Betsy ... hugs. Grief hits me like that too. Terri ... praying your friend Helen is ok. Glad you were able of honor your friend's passing. Such a gift to have friendships that span the years. Michele ... tracking calories most definitely pointed out where the "extras" were coming from in my diet! Rebecca ... I can't do it.…

It's been a while since I used the MFP Diary option so thought I'd watch that for a few days. I have been away from calorie counting for years as I fast daily and really only eat one meal a day ... but those extra pounds came from somewhere and I need to be honest with myself. Celia ... nope, my scale isn't broken either!…

Have been avoiding it. Dreading it actually. But finally did it. Got on the scale this morning. I'm buying a new one. :D Beth

Katla ... I missed your post where you said you felt disrespected by your children. Your comment made me think about how my brother and I have been dealing with my elderly parents (age 93 and 91) the last couple of months. I have been angry with my brother more than once on how he has handled situations as they relate to…

Barbara ... yeah, I looked at the prices for Road Scholar too ... I do a lot of dreaming Lisa ... your "games" spoiler ... had me laughing this morning! Terri and Lisa ... love the poems! Going for scheduled blood labs this morning. Doctor is checking to see if medication is doing what it is supposed to do. I personally…

Kim ... I have been intrigued by the advertisements I've seen for the Roads Scholar Travel programs. I'm not certain that my husband and I are physically fit enough for some of their adventures, but surely there are some that are for folks like me. I hate to travel with crowds and like to linger over things more than the…

Kim ... what a debacle. I'm wondering what your brother's motives are for getting Tim involved and allowing him to see that the cancer diagnosis was a farce. I understand your need to move on, not cause more stress for your mother or nephew. Praying for you as you deal with this newest betrayal and hurt. This morning I…

Kim … hugs… just hugs… Beth

Annie ... I started therapy for my knees in May of last year (interrupted by the leg break). No braces. Very specific exercises for my specific concerns. Fortunately, my health insurance has no limit on PT so I can go twice a week. My improvement has been significant and well worth the time. Knee-replacement is in my…

Betsy ... I second Carla's suggestion ... no big decisions right now! Senior Living ... here there are several options. Senior Apartments are available ... these are 55+ communities that essentially are just ADA specified apartments. No services really. Then we have Independent Living apartments that sometimes have…

Barbie … praying for you and Jake. Heart issues are always scary in my mind. Beth
