I finally fit into my beautiful designer dress. I found it difficult to zip the last couple of inches. Is there anything that will help with zipping and unzipping the zippers on the back of a dress?

I am glad you are not going to let the remark defeat you. I always think of a clever retort after I have walked away. Sometimes that is a good thing. @BBee5064 after reading your comment I thought, "and ya know after working with me you will learn a polite disposition. Hang in there, I'll teach YOU. It really is a Win Win.

Hilarious!

Love it. LMAO

What has worked best for me is my relationships on MFPs, I can share my successes without fear that someone will sabotage my efforts. I can read about others successes and trials and tribulations. There is a great deal of information here.

Maybe that's the T Shirt @mostlywater should wear to class.

Try the Betty Crocker website. You can enter ingredients you still have on hand from the refrigerator or pantry and the recipe builder will help you put together new meals. Also, chicken can be put in the food processor with your favorite mayo or substitute and use it to make sandwiches or salad. As a salad, add celery,…

I retired two more pairs of beautiful slacks. Hate to see them go, but that means I can go shopping, right?

Present the problem to them and ask them to help you find an answer. Let them know you will all work toward that goal until you are in that happy space. Kids have more buy in when they have helped with the solution. I hope this is helpful.

You are not being unreasonable and he's just hungry. Some kids don't see the sacrifices parents make and if they do they think it is your job anyway. It seems like a teaching moment. Remind the boys you are there to help them become independent. You would be remiss in your parental responsibility, if you didn't teach them…

NSV: I got down on all fours and played with my dog and her new ball. I didn't even give it a second thought, like oh my pants are tight or my knees hurt. If was great to just enjoy my dog. We had such a good time.

I'm learning so the smallest of things take me a long time, but that is ok. I worked hard, I bought this house and I will maintain it. I found a DIY Homeowner board; I hope I can find it again. I watch YouTube. If I can't do it myself, then at least I will know how it is supposed to be done. What a workout I had yesterday…

NSV: My dexterity has improved greatly. I used to have such difficulty opening packages and putting things back into containers. Not any more!

NSV: I have more energy to meet the demands of my day. There are subtle mental changes for me too. I have a home in need of minor repairs and upkeep. I am better able to fix things. I never knew how to sharpen the blade of the lawn mower, but I did it. I even put together a hedge trimmer (not perfectly on the first go…

Two out of three jeans that I can now fit into are dated. I guess they will become my gardening jeans. I have two more even smaller jeans, it will be fun just to see them fit me.

Anyone using a DVD for Beginner's Yoga? I think I would feel more comfortable in my own living room initially.

A few weeks ago, I fit into my beautiful size 14 suits and dress blouses, but the jeans and the dresses refused to fit. Then a couple of weeks ago, I fit into my 14s jeans, but I had to wait on the smaller 14s. Good news! The smaller size 14 jeans fit. My scale weighs both fat and weight, my weight has not dropped but my…

Found it! But there was another one. Hmm.

Where's the pic? I used to have one of those knit tops too. I was just too worn out. I saved it for several years, just so I could remember what I had hoped to replace. I think I took a pic and threw it out. With over 2500 pics of things I hope to remember, I bet I couldn't find it if I tried. Lol

That is great Roda. I will have to keep that in mind. Those last 3 jeans no longer fit, but I found 3 more smaller jeans (my favorites) tucked away in the corner of my closet, so I wouldn't get rid of them. One pair is from 2006, it was a favorite but might be too dated. It is so funny. I can remember when I bought them,…
