Re: how about drinking?
skv - welcome. I still have a drink every night. Just not 3 or 4. I'm honest with my docs and they aren't upset about it.

Re: how about drinking?
I spent last week trying to set up a phone call between DH and his sister. Took 5 phone calls and numerous messages since both have dementia. My reward was going out to dinner with DD

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!
I was selected to take part in the second edition of the STILL Project - . It's a photojournalism project aimed at increasing awareness of aesthetic flat closure as an option after mastectomy.
There were almost 50 people who applied, but only 12 were chosen. I'm so excited to take part. The shoot is in Boston, so DH might come along. (He spent a good part of his childhood in that area.) It's going to make for a very busy few weeks. I'll have this event the last weekend of September, then the very next weekend I'm off to Santa Cruz for a Flattie gathering. Fun times!
Re: So...whats for dinner?
I used to cut my own hair in my 20's. It was always long so I was only cutting some inches off the end. I also cut hair for my DH and my son. Most of the remaining years I kept it at shoulder length. But now…. other than evening the ends, I haven't cut my hair since Covid so it's down my back well past my bra line. Being lazy, I usually wear it in a pony tail.
Dinner was salmon steak poached in white wine with dill. Served with broccoli and Seeds of Change quinoa & brown rice. To top it off, I used my coupon to pick up my free buntlette from Nothing Bundt Cakes, so I ate 1/2 of that White Chocolate Raspberry delight. I recommend this 'bakery' highly if there's one near you. Or even if you have to drive an hour.

Carole, I'm glad you got a good margarita and the nachos were tasty. Now you know what to order if you have to return there.
Minus, We have a circulator pump on the hot water heater that provides hot water quickly without running the tap. Good idea to start using up what is in your freezer.
Wally, Sorry you are missing fishing season but I’ve found that as you get older things happen that interfere with your plans.
Dinner tonight was meatballs in Rao’s on spaghetti.

Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
2/3 of my windows are covered with plastic film which breaks up the scenery into small iridescent shapes. The other day I saw, through Tippy's observation point, a hummingbird hovering, trying to figure if the window was a flower. He decided not, and flew away.
Yesterday I removed a bunch of buttons from Tippy's board, leaving those he uses frequently. He informed me that he was angry, and demonstrated which ones he wanted restored. One was "did" as we had used that in reviews of the day to teach him others, and I think that the other was "hurts."

Last night's dinner started with chicken thighs in the slow cooker. Added peas. Added corn. Added cooked thick noodles. Deboned the chicken (overcooked) and added Raos alfredo sauce. Served in bowls. Tasted good. Side was chopped salad with iceberg, tomato and cucumber.
Today is our Labor Day potluck meal about 5:30 or 6:00. I bought buns and chips.
