Good morning everyone! Not much to tell today; one reason is that I slept until after 1 pm! Don’t know what that was about, but I guess I needed it. Still trying to get a handle on my eating, because I keep gaining. Going in the opposite direction from my new knee; very frustrating! :'( Plus more pain in general. Hope…

Good morning everyone! Michele: no, I really mean washing soda. It’s also not the same as borax. wisegeek.com/what-is-washing-soda.htm I Googled and you should be able to find the Arm & Hammer brand at Target. The last of the four rooms is being measured for carpet today, also the window in my office room for curtains.…

Michele: fingers crossed for Lance! It’s so hard. I’m with you on the slippers. My thing is hand sanitizer. Surfaces in public areas…yuk. Food burned onto pans: some washing soda in the pan full of water, boil it for several minutes and let it cool off. Usually this takes the burned stuff right off. Heather: ambition? Do I…

Good morning everyone! Just saying hi. We’re leaving in half an hour for the two-hour drive to my dog’s chiropractor. Will have mustard soup (mmm) at a café near there and may go check out a horse retirement farm not too far from there. I’m starting to have thoughts in that direction (a retirement farm), but it’s a big…

Good morning everyone! Meg: both of you are super cute! Nikita’s lucky to have you as a grandma. Your hair’s so much longer than in your profile photo! Michele: massaged kale? I eat kale regularly but have never massaged it. Hope the cat is OK. How does the gas used to drive to Hickory compare to the cost of the vet? Viv:…

Just wanted to share this pic of the dog who belongs to one of the people at the curtain store. She knows I have treats in my pocket. They don't want begging rewarded, but I ask her to sit, lie down etc., and then it's OK. :D

Good morning everyone! Kim: your friend is more than welcome to do my spices! Allison: I know the feeling. Hope you got a good rest. Sylvia: I’m on the soapbox with you! Dog fights: they don’t have to mean the end. A lot of times it’s just showing one of them who’s boss. Please don’t make any “rash” decisions. Barb: thanks…

Trying to get some work done. Allison: I sure wish you had the DH you deserve. I hope that doesn't sound too harsh. <3

Good morning everyone! Meg: still thinking of you. Allison: of course you are tired! I hope you really will have a break in Florida. How long will you be there? Jane: glad you’re feeling better. Njitaliana: !! My rehab doctor told me to stand on one leg at a time to improve my balance for when I get my new knee. Now my…

Heather: 'stressed and frothy': love the expression! I've ben known for some frothiness myself....

Good morning everyone! Meg: glad the busy-ness is winding down. Don’t forget to take care of yourself. Allison: how kind of you to notice the young couple’s problems. Sue: Fauré is fantastic. Beth: with you on the quick breads, muffins etc. I like banana bread, zucchini bread etc., but it’s discouraging to just be able to…

Good morning everyone! Michele: I missed what happened to the kitty and I see a lot of bandaging. What happened? Carol: great news about your walking, and a weekend away is a great idea. Dear Viv: wishing you strength. Please take care of yourself (I didn’t do that well enough when my husband was ill). Slept badly and have…

Sylvia: if someone wanted Spot back badly enough you would probably have known it by now. He has it great with you! (Love how the whole board has decided you are keeping Spot! :D )

Good morning everyone! Meg, still thinking of you. Not much news here. More annoying work today, but probably also a visit from a friend I haven’t seen in months. Haven’t seen the painting guy for several days. He said the painting would be done this week, though, so he’ll have to show up sometime. It’s only a couple of…

Sylvia, beautiful! I would buy them! Oh, WHY does no one (including herself) call me when my Mom is sick for ten days and falls down on the kitchen floor because she's dehydrated, and then refuses to go to the doctor?? Can you hear my head banging against the wall?
-
Meg: thinking of you; don't forget to eat, sleep and breathe! Sylvia: Go Spot!
-
Good morning everyone! Jane: goodness; take care of yourself! Carol: glad to see you. Good luck with all of your frustrations. Tori: if you find anything interesting about natural arthritis pain management, you know where to find me. ;) Sylvia: yay for Spot! He's doing great! Margaret: amazing eagle photo. Doing some…

Sylvia, you are hilarious. Thank you! :D

Good morning everyone! Michele: you freeze the bananas and then thaw them? How long do you thaw them? I must know all the details. :D Michele, Sue and others: about the apple thing, I used to make a dessert we affectionately call "the apple thing". I cored an apple, put some raisins and cinnamon in the hole left from the…
-
Katla: my sentiments exactly: Spot is from a good neighborhood now! Michele: I did the banana/cocoa. I think my freezer's too cold for bananas, though, because I had to microwave the banana for 20 seconds before I could make a dent in it! :D Am I doing something wrong? It tasted really good, though; I could see myself…

Good morning everyone! Barbie: thanks for the new thread and hope you slept well! I actually like the image of the older kids holding out their t-shirts to get candy. It’s better than getting drunk or harassing people. Sylvia: I’m with Yanniejannie. Spot deserves a great home! Michele: maybe it would help to not think of…

Found this on a cute account on Instagram; so cute and funny!

Kataniki: I would blow up (and have) if someone said "what are your next steps?" too soon. :D I just want to be HEARD first. When the red fog subsides it would be fine. Just a thought. Your mileage may vary. ;) Michele: I'm going to try your frozen banana with cocoa. Do you have any ideas for warm things to use for the…
-
Good morning everyone! Rori: I didn’t so much mind chopping, but I did everything the same way: in little cubes. :D Sylvia: I would have done exactly the same thing with the dog. Well, who knows; if no one claims him it looks like you have a sweetie there! Michele: you’re right about bending your fingers. And you have to…

Lesley: I may be missing something, but wouldn't it be possible for you to eat consistently at a certain net calorie level for a few weeks and see what your body does? Then you'd know to adjust a bit up or down.

Hi guys, just got back from the workshop. Someone asked what exactly it was. Well, it was about learning how to use knives properly to cut vegetables. A cutting workshop. Knife-technique workshop. What the heck would you call it? :D Had a lot of fun and learned a lot. I'm going to be practicing! Cynthia :flowerforyou:

Found this on the internet:

Good morning everyone! Allison: so glad to read that you realize how much you do for others and that you have your own needs as well! I have to say, I wouldn’t be so happy with someone “telling” me to do the lawn. But maybe it bothers me more than it bothers you. Is there a secondhand store in the area where you could…

Good morning everyone! Kim: massages rule! Do it as often as you can. Barbie: good news! Heather Mac: oh my goodness; good luck with everything! Hope everyone has a good day. Cynthia :flowerforyou:

Just a quick note with special hugs for Sylvia and Yanniejannie. We're going to see the pet orthopedic guy tomorrow to see whether a shoulder brace would help. Cynthia :flowerforyou:
