Hello! Today was a perfect October day! It was warm, 81 degrees with a lovely 20 mph breeze. Such a beautiful afternoon. I worked in the yard for about 30 minutes. Setting plants in a flowerbed. Went out and had lunch. Ran some errands. I turned off the car's A/C and opened the windows. MMMMmmmm. Welcome to all the new…

bumping to mark my place.

Hello! I decided to make a couple of changes. I've started back on my vitamin supplements. I started riding my exercise bike. Today I deliberately walked more at the grocery store. :bigsmile: Sis can't lease a vehicle because it is too many miles. She did well on Saturday while we were out. Most dealers only have one or…

Diane - I do hope your sis gets a car. Without one right now, how does she get around? Happy early birthday. Where are you going for dinner? I've heard so much about a neti pot -- all good. Just never used one myself. Yup, I know the cats are marking me. It's just sometimes a pain when you get them under you. Then again,…

Hello ladies! Tomorrow I'm supposed to take Sis car shopping. Please cross your fingers and help her pick a car. She has dithered time and again about buying a car. She knows she needs one, but Jeez, she just can't bring herself to BUY one. It's like shopping with Goldilocks....:grumble: Tomorrow is my birthday. I asked my…

Hello! Not much going on here...same old stuff for me. My neighbors are playing musical houses. Four houses have sold in just over a month. One neighbor downsized into an apt. Another bought a house three houses away. One moved for different school districts. One just put their house up for sale and Boom! it sold, so they…

Hello! Well, my DH didn't leave today for his trip. Seems he left the bike on in the garage and drained the battery. When he plugged it in to the battery charger, he blew a fuse. That meant a trip to the store for new fuses. Now it is charged up and ready to go. I think he'll leave tomorrow. Not much going on here…

Hello! We've had a week of beautiful weather. Cooler temps and not much rain. Sis goes back to the Dr. tomorrow for a follow-up on her foot surgery. She's been home these last two weeks. No change for me on the scale. :angry: DH has another motorcycle trip planned for next week. Shorter mileage this time. Saw a plaque in a…

Hello! We're having a cold front and man, does it feel good! Two days ago, we set a new record high for Sept. of 100 degrees. (my car said 104!!) We were supposed to have rain yesterday (we got zip. zilch. nada.) and again today. Our heavy rain passed to the north, we got .10 inch. BUT it is a BEAUTIFUL 68 degrees! The…

Hello ladies! It must be National Pork Day because I also made a pork roast for dinner.:laugh: I made potatoes and wax beans on the side. Sis's foot surgery went well. She has a Frankenstein boot to wear for two weeks. She's walking pretty good with it. Lovely weather today, about ten degrees cooler than normal. We were…

Hello ladies! This morning DH and I went mall walking with friends. We walked for an hour, then hit the bookstore. Bookstores for me are like cocaine to an addict. Seriously. On the way home he wanted to go out for lunch..for soup and salad. And we did. It was good. But, when I logged it into MFP, one of the soups had…

Hello ladies, Today we had our senior's luncheon. I planned to make a pound cake, but I forgot to thaw the butter. So I made creamed spinach. It was a new recipe. It must have been good, it was all gone. I didn't taste it, I can't eat spinach. I gave Mom a taste and she said it was good. I always make a veggie dish because…

Hi Ladies! Wow! So many posts in just a few days! Welcome to all the new ladies. I counted 27 new names. I've been on this plateau for so long I feel like a lemming! I know it's going to break any day now. I got three different weights on the scale again this a.m. :tongue: Saturday, I went mall-walking with friends. We did…

Sylvia try a paste of baking soda and water. My home remedy book suggests that you moisten the area and rub it with an aspirin. Or meat tenderizer. I've used seabreeze, the complexion toner on bites. You could also try soaking your feet in warm water with epsom salts. I keep benadryl on hand in a wand applicator or a spray…

Hello from Tx! I took my Mom and Sis shopping yesterday. Sis hates clothes shopping, because nothing fits. But she needed to go. I talked her into it. We all found some good buys. We hit the clearance racks and had fun trying things. We went to Kohl's so we all got Kohl's cash back for next week. Wooo-hooo! Welcome to…

Hello form TX! Good news on the Iphone. It charged up and I was able to access the contacts list. I called "mom" and left a message. She called me back and I returned the phone. It belonged to one of their daughters, she used it as a music player. The irony is, last year I found an Iphone car charger in a parking lot and…

Hello from Tx! I've been cleaning carpets today. Whew! That was hard work, but it is so much easier when everyone is gone. Also went grocery shopping. Yesterday, I found a pedometer. Two days ago, I found an Iphone in the road. I'm going to try charging it, to see if it works. I might be able to find the owner, I don't…

Hello from TX! Today was yet another scorcher. My DH wanted to go pick up the plates for his new motorcycle and asked me to ride along. We start out, and he says he knows the way. Then he starts asking me for directions. Should I turn here? Will this road go to ...? He's driven there three times already. Well, we made…

Hello from TX! I weighed myself this a.m. and still no change. This is a long plateau. I need to track my measurements. I can tell my clothes are a smidge looser. Speaking of scales, may I ask which brand/type you have? Does anyone have the one that measures body fat and water weight? Do you like it? My DH is fussing about…

Hello Ladies, I love reading your stories, thanks for sharing them. We had a wonderful soaking rain yesterday morning. I woke up to thunder and lightning and pouring rain. Unfortunately, it ended by noon. Which was nice, because we go back to triple digit temps this weekend. Today is the one year anniversary of my DH's…

This morning I went walking with friends. We walked 3 miles in a city park. I did a little shopping this afternoon, just for fun. I've already started my Christmas shopping. I generally start in July with the back-to-school sales. I'm finished by October. I keep everything together and make a list to keep track. I have…

CynthiaT60' Get your mom a pair of crocs or flip-flops with a cushy sole to wear in the shower. A bit bothersome to step out of and wash the toes, but they will stand up to water use. In the military hospitals, the soldiers use flip-flops for shower shoes. :happy:

Hello. well, I finally got a photo posted but it isn't one of me. It was a parakeet flying wild. I had plans for today, but my DH decided to interrupt my day and take me out. So out we went. We had Chinese for lunch. Wow, that adds up fast. It was good though. We went to a bookstore and then to the library. DH checked out…

Ladies, step right up...you don't want to miss this...It's the disappearing tummy! Yes, folks, right before your very eyes, it just fades away! One week it is there, the next it is GONE! You won't believe it! Get your tickets now, 'cause it will soon be gone. No, there's no charge, just move along into the tent. Plenty of…

Bumpin for later:drinker:

Hi, again. just wanted to say: Beth , I'm so glad your son is ok. Whew! Sylvia - your son was only 6, and children don't have a buffer. That's something we learn as we grow up. I'm proud of you for losing that much weight. You Go, Girl!! Ann - We lived in the Kaiserslautern area. I learned German upon arrival and still…
