Most of them are these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5CKFO1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The shirts have no dividers. The ones I am using for the dressy tanks are hard plastic. I picked them up at Bed Bath & Beyond. They are not my favorites. I much prefer the cloth covered cardboard ones that I…

Michelle, I don’t roll my clothes, i fold them and store them vertically in the drawers,

Well, it’s barely 8 a.m. and I’ve already messed up. I woke up energized and put a load of laundry in. Totally forgot the guy was coming to pressure wash the house and I shouldn’t be using water. I told Dave I’d sacrifice my shower for the cause, and I changed the settings to one rinse instead of two on the washer. There’s…

Re the clutterbug quiz: I am a bee. Anybody follow Cas, the originator of clutterbug? She had weight loss surgery and lost 100 lbs in 6 months, but she just had to have emergency gall bladder surgery and is losing some hair from the quick weight loss. She looks gorgeous, though. I belong to her clutterbug FB group as well…

Condolences, Allie. It’s so sad to see so many lives destroyed with drugs and alcohol. You don’t have to ask me how I know. I was wrong about the body types. I totally forgot apple. How could I forget apple? So, pear, carrot, apple, straight ((or rectangle) and curvy ( which I assume is hourglass). My sister says her body…

Barbara, he suffered from depression and opiod addiction. He had been sober for 10 months until the pandemic hit. No access to meetings and other isolation was too much for him and he relapsed. Very sad. He was a brilliant young man who studied engineering at LSU, but drugs are no respecter of persons.

I’m caught up with 250 posts. I’m sure I missed some things. Monday, the same day I fell and jammed my finger, I got a call that my nephew had died. They were in Louisiana. We are in Georgia. We had to wait out the hurricane in Alabama and Mississippi before we could travel down on Friday for the service on Saturday. I…

Beyond whiny! I was feeling so good today, getting a bunch of stuff done, then I tripped and fell sprawling and either jammed or broke my right pinky finger. It throbs, won’t bend, and is swelling and turning purple on the underside. I’ve taped it to the finger next to it and iced it. If it gets worse, I’ll take it to the…

Thoughts and prayers for all dealing living close to the fires. Barbara, I've been following your husband's story with interest since mine also has glaucoma. When i told him your husband's numbers, he said, "Holy, kitten!' (I went ahead and typed kitten since I knew MFP would do it to the word Dave used.) Dave's right eye…

I thought I’d share the before and after of my sunroom rug. The black rug came with the furniture and matched the loveseat throw pillows. It was never what I really wanted, but it wasn’t bad so I lived with it for 6 years. I like the update. I’m not sure about the orange pillows but they’re just shams on top of the…

Pip, I like the original way best and the way with the rocker in the corner second. I don't like the one with the rocker next to the fireplace, but it might have just been the angle of the picture. It looked like the flow of traffic was blocked. Regardless, it is a beautiful room. You have a great sense of style.

Thank you for this link. This site was very helpful. Like Beth, I am only overweight on this chart. Yay! When I put in my target weight, the site told me that was "very ambitious" and suggested that I start with losing 11 pounds and maintain that for a while. They also cautioned me not to cut calories too much. None of…

Yay! My friend and my coworker connected and got the iPad unlocked. I can quit stewing over that. Did she tell me she fixed it? No! I had to ask. I was ready to wipe my laptop and give it to the student. Shoot, I may still do it. I was getting all psyched shopping for a new one. Better stress shopping than stress eating,…

Kim, the thing is I don’t think I can do it anymore. Even if I took it to apple, they’re going to ask questions about her apple id and password that I can’t answer. She is going to have to do it. She may have to get the iPad back in her possession to do it. She did offer to drive to the coworker’s house and get it. I’m…

Tldr: long, exasperating day, possibly overreacting. I need a hug.

Lisa, I have both of these. I prefer the cable bands, but either would give you a good workout.

New month, new planner, fresh start. Baby stepping my way back to restoring my temple. My September goals: 1. Devotion every morning. 2. Movement every day (5 frequency walks, 10,000+ steps) 3. Drink my water (>96 oz) 4. Log food honestly 5. Take my vitamins every day. 6. Metabolic workout 3 times a week. My weight has…

Thank y’all for the anniversary wishes. We are pretty happy with each other in this phase of life. There were times in those 45 years when I wasn’t so sure we’d make it. Margaret, my heart still breaks for you. Barbie, I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. I love your tribute to her. More later.

I seldom notice the reactions to posts. I have noticed, though, that the disagree button is right where I put my finger to scroll on my iPad. I hope that I haven’t been disagreeing accidentally. I have never once hit the disagree button on purpose.

Debbie, I am a Candy Crush fan as well. I also play Words with Friends and Sudoku on my tablet. I have been on a serious decluttering and arranging streak in my study. It is looking so good. My files are in the best shape of their lives. You wouldn’t believe the Mounds of shredded paper and recycle piles.

But sometimes, that 450 calories is so totally worth it. That’s my favorite pie.

Coffee, welcome! My husband is from northern Minnesota. We haven’t been back since his mom passed in 2010. Barbara, so scary about your husband’s eyes. Mine has had that procedure to lower his pressure. He’s having cataract surgery on Tuesday with some kind of fancy lens implant. I’m nervous about that, but he doesn’t seem…

@LisaInAR . can you send Faye an invitation to join our group? Thanks!

It's a 15 minute workout designed to get certain hormones activated. I tuned out their names when the guy was talking. I'll pay more attention if you really want to know what they're called. Anyway, you start with about a minute of warm-up exercises, kicking your legs and waving your arms around. Then (this is just one of…

I think most of us have violated at least a couple of these rules from time to time. We love to get off topic and go down rabbit holes in this thread. It's what makes it so much fun! We also tend to swerve into the political lane when we get passionate about a topic and have to be gently redirected. Do you belong to our…

I am caught up on reading after being MIA again. I just finished another online class - this one on conflict transformation. The class was fun, but the book was pretty dry. I have been binge listening to Dana K White podcasts and tackling my paper clutter. I took 5 boxes of books and files to the district office of my…

My favorite is made by Glamorise. Yes, it does help my back. I have some underwire ones from Wacoal that are ok, but twice the price and I don’t like them as well. They do look a little better (not as much uniboob) under tight shirts, but not as comfy as the Glamorise. I can’t do bras with no hooks. They ride up in the…

I am a 38-H, and I don't do braless except to sleep. I have gotten very attached to my sports bras as opposed to my underwires, but I do not go without.

Kylia, I agree with others. Those macros are about what you get with a Keto diet. It never looked healthy to me, but there are those who swear by it. I believe it works well with diabetes but not so well with heart issues. I have a friend who’s been eating that way for well over a year. She looks fantastic. I can’t do it.…

Margaret, my heart is breaking for you. My prayer is that you can find some comfort in knowing he is now at peace. There are really no words that are adequate for this. I’m sorry. Mary’s memorial service was yesterday. I think links are against the rules, but if you want to see the slideshow and you do FB, search for…
