NOT impressed either, Ruth. It feels cold and uninviting. Also confusing.
Ds came home for the weekend. So good to see him. He even cooked dinner for us on Saturday. Haven't been doing too much lately but I have been regularly walking. Tonight dh and I met with dd to walk/run after she got off of work. We started doing this last month. The first few times we met we needed a flashlight. We walk on a lit walking trail but there are areas that I still needed a flashlight. Not anymore bc spring is coming and the days are slowly getting longer.

Yeah, I'm not liking the look and feel of this new design as well...maybe the moderators will read our threads and see our reviews!
Tai Chi and walking to church this evening to get ashes. It will be 64 for a high today and yes Wonderland, loving the longer days. TT

Geez, it took me 3 tries and many more minutes than I wanted to spend to even get here. Not good. Here's the Wednesday Walking Women picture, I'll go to Dance2fit tonight.

Ruth - great photo.
I don't think anyone is happy with these new changes. I'm thinking of messaging the moderators. I'm wondering if they get inundated with messages they will realize that it is so difficult.
74F today - record high. Will be in 70s the next couple days then cooling off and maybe snow.
I'm spitting bullets annoyed at the admin at the middle school I"m covering. Can't wait to be done there. I know that I'm ticking off the admin by a couple emails I have sent, more or less correcting them.
Going to start making dinner - then nice walk after dinner.

68 for a high today so went for a walk to city hall at lunch to pay my water bill instead of going to my yoga/pilates class.

Another nice day today but not as much sun. It's currently 69F. Our streak of warm weather is coming to an end. Snow is in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday.
I was beyond upset and frustrated with the school administration where I'm covering. Thankfully the powers to be are supportive of what I have done and know what a mess the school admin are. My manager as well as another higher up told me how to proceed and next steps. I was thanked for speaking up! I've never done anything like this before in over 30 years in the schools, but I've never been in a situation with such disregard for protocol and putting student's first. I'm feeling better as my manager confirmed what I thought is that I have done everything ethically that I need to do and not to worry. After spring break, I'm supposed to have another assignment and will be out of there. I was talking to the SW at the school and she said I'm just doing what they've been trying to do all year. I love my position as a float and generally the assignments are great, though some schools are harder than others. At least today is my Friday. Need to do some paperwork over the week-end, but that is to get caught up.
Have a great rest of the day.

At least you will be able to get out of that school soon, Karen. I am glad that you spoke up. I feel the most sorry for the teachers & kids stuck there. The administration sets the tone for the whole school.
I went to Barre Sculpt & walked a little. It's my birthday so I mostly did fun stuff and ate a lot!!

Not sure where to start catching everyone up. Anyway, the good news is that I passed my written driving test so now have my Idaho license. I also got up skiing last Saturday with the most glorious scenery ever. Most likely the last day of perfect skiing this season. This is overlooking Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho.
alt="">The last 3 days were in Seattle as had a dentist appointment on Wednesday. Thought the easiest thing to do as I am between insurance plans. I am covered as a traveler but need to hook up with local providers. I have that call next Wednesday. Today is an oil change at my new mechanic's place recommended to me by the neighbor who has 3 Subarus between himself and his two sons, one roughly the age of Rexxie. I knew who to ask! Today's exercise will be walking the mile or so there and back.
Had fun catching up with friends. One of whom will be visiting now that he (and new girlfriend) knows there is a place that is so serious about beer that they grow their own hops and grain. You can have beers on the lawn starting in April.
The soundness of my decision to leave Seattle/Redmond was confirmed in getting to the dentist, wine bar, and back. I bussed it into Seattle from the park and ride, and then had to change in the skeevy part of town (which used to be a bustling and lovely downtown). I really didn't like the look of the large crowd hanging out (think open drug bazaar) and was grateful that my bus came immediately. I texted my friend that I was staying with about how unsavory the crowd has become. Anyway, dentist was uneventful and I bussed it back to downtown to do some shopping at Nordstrom (where you are now greeted by a Black security guard...they have to do this). Restocked everything at the cosmetics using some of my gift certificates.
Then off to the wine bar where I caught up with people including my beer drinking friend. He escorted me to the bus stop and waited with me. Grateful for the company as there had been a fatal shooting one block over where I had changed buses earlier!!! The second in one week. Businesses are leaving that area as just too dangerous for employees and patrons.
That said, I am sorry that I won't be in Seattle to hear Cheryl Serio perform in two weeks. Love her. She does Rat Pack type music and has a voice that is a cross between Judy Garland and Eartha Kitt.
After the bus ride back to the park and ride, I was greeted by the song of frogs which always makes me happy. Made my way back to my friends for more wine and a general party. Great fun, and glad that we got to catch up.
Yesterday was the 5.5 hour drive back with rain on both ends. Today is a work day as have a small project due Monday. Glad for that as well. But wow on Downtown Seattle!! I would not want to live there, and by this, I don't mean the super-expensive apartment buildings. Or the homeless. This used to be a fun place to poke around. No longer. - Claire

Let's see.....just love the redo. However, takes forever to load (Microsoft Edge), locked up. Didn't post my picture and doesn't display properly. Why wouldn't I love the new website?
Here is the picture, hopefully. - Claire

Happy Birthday Ruth! and thanks for the update and picture Claire, I had been thinking about you. glad to hear you are well and your always fun stories...though really sad about Seattle.
Happy Friday everyone, TT

Beautiful picture, Claire. Glad things are starting to come together. Even a very happy move requires lots of adjustments! My next door neighbor is putting her house on the market and moving to Arizona. I am happy for her, but sad for me as she is a good neighbor and friend to me & our dogs are best playmates/friends. I told her that she can only sell to nice people who have a big nice dog!
I had a fun birthday, lots of eating for sure. Here is what Bruno gave me for a present. Oh yes, I went to Sift & Lift today.

Happy Birthday, Ruth! Testing out the post a reply feature to see what happens.
I had no idea how to get on the threads so I accessed this one from an email notification.

Sorry to hear about your neighbor moving Ruth...as the saying goes, fences make the best neighbors...but for you, you have a fence with your neighbor due to the dogs! On the positive note, another friend in Arizona might mean a second week of visiting in Arizona for you...???

TT, we already have second week in Arizona! Next Thursday we are head for Tuscon to do doing some exploring around that area.....staying with my cousin, whose house is so lovely that it could be in a magazine. It's still 'winter' here so it will be another nice break. I went to PiYo & Pound this morning, cleaned house this afternoon.

I wrote the moderators and acknowledged that they are getting lots of complaints, but if they are not fixed soon, I would be saying good-bye to bco. I told them I'd been here 16 years but the problems are too problematic. The slowness is just awful. I'm giving it another week to see improvements or I'll be taking a big vacation from here. If I do, I'll let you know and ask someone to PM me when its fixed.
Snowing here and 17F. Have a great Sunday

I agree with the others here, I am not happy with this update and the forum is so slow I lose interest trying to move around. So disappointing. I hope this site is able to be fixed.
0 -
I hope it is fixed SOON too. It takes so much energy to get on that I forget what I wanted to say by the time I get in....which is certainly the opposite of what was intended with the update!! I'm glad that I don't have any urgent concerns that I need to have addressed, that would be very, very bad.
We had company all afternoon so I ended up dancing for an hour with some Marshall Fitness utube routines & did 10 minutes of abs.

Baked poppyseed and honey nut Hamentashen this afternoon. I used Solo canned poppyseed, but the honey nut is a homemade filling. Have a small package to mail my DD#1 and SIL. Actually going to send FedX. His birthday card took 3 weeks to arrive so I"m sure FedX will be faster. I posted pictures of them on FB and my SIL texted me how good they looked. I had told my DD#1 that I wasn't going to send this year and I could hear the disappointment in her voice. I wanted to surprise them, but since SIL saw them on FB, I wanted to tell him to expect a package. He was quite happy. Put a few away for DD#2 when she is here next months - 5 weeks and 2 days, but who is counting!!!
Also made a big pot of chicken soup with barely, carrots, celery and onions. For us, soup by itself is a meal and that's what we had for dinner tonight.
We managed to get 3 walks in today, despite the cold and snow. We only got a few inches. Will be cold all week and more snow on Wednesday night/Thursday.
I messaged the moderators today and they said things were to be fixed this week. Let's hope.

I am crossing my fingers for a fix too, Karen. I would definitely be excited to get those cookies in the mail, they sound & look delicious! My mother used to send me cookies in the mail every once and awhile, and it was such a treat. Both because they were tasty and because they were made by my mom. I'm off to Pound in a few minutes. It is still winter/winter here.

Hello to all! Experiencing the same issues as others described, so not able to come here very often. My screen name looks like "celiac" not CeliaC - I do not have celiac disease! Sorry to have missed your birthday Ruth - Happy Belated! Awaiting the supposed "fixes" mentioned by mods. Barre Lates, Bodyweight Boot Camp and Zumba today.

At least I got a chuckle about celiac, CeliaC!

Aargh...I haven't been able to fully log on and get to the thread in days. Hope all are well. Safe travels to Tuscon tomorrow Ruth. Tai Chi at lunch, cold/rainy 40 degrees...I really enjoyed the two days we had there were high 70's, sat out and read. Only 4 more days of 6pm sunsets....then we Spring Forward! TT

Here's the Wednesday Walking Women. I am going to be out of town until next Wednesday. If it's easier to get in, I'll post some pictures, otherwise I will check in when I get back!0 -
I thought the website would have improved since I last posted. Still not impressed. I'm afraid it's driving people away. SAD!
Been in a slump lately. Walking definitely helps so I'm keeping that up!

This sight is still as slow as molasses.
Wonder isn't it amazing how much walking helps mood.
Two weeks till spring break. I do not like DST. But I was up before 5 without an alarm, but I'm thinking that's my 4 am wake up before I go back to sleep and get up at 5:15ish.
Have a great Monday

Agree on the loading time. So much for having a fiberoptic network.
Feeling stoked right now. Got my taxes out the door this weekend and today found the help I needed to negotiate an online payments system and get paid for the work I did early this year. Life is looking up.
I also walked to the Regal Cinema to watch the Metropolitan Opera performance of Ariadne auf Naxos on Saturday. Just sublime singing and imaginative staging. On the way there, a lady stopped to ask me if I needed a lift. She was shocked to discover that my car is in perfect working order and that I was walking the two miles there for exercise. On the way back, I explored the trails next to the river and found the perfect route for a run.
Which I did yesterday and will do again this afternoon.
I also figured out the cycling route to the supermarket that I most frequently use, so will be able to do much of my grocery shopping this summer via bicycle. This includes the Downtown Coeur d'Alene farmers market.
I need a cycling map. CDA is a great place with cycling lanes everywhere, but it's also nice to know how it all connects. I am hoping to do a lot more weekday cycling than I could do in my old place. I had a great route when I lived in Seattle (now not feasible due to construction and homeless encampments).
Off to the vineyard in a couple of days for an oysters and wine party and helping out. Hoping to get up skiing at White Pass on Friday where I have never been. Plus hike the Cowiche Canyon.
In the middle of all this, I have a meeting Wednesday with a potential new client. This could be interesting work, but I do not want to get sucked into any full time. We shall see how this all works out.
Happy almost spring! - Claire

I'm in Arizona until Wednesday. They don't change time so I can delay that headache. Speaking of headaches, this is the first time I've been able to get here on my phone...not good. We've visited a beautiful botanical garden, did tourist things in Tombstone, walked all over an air & space museum. This morning we hiked in a national forest. Lots of fun! I'd post a picture but the site won't let me. I will have to try to figure it out when I get home.

it’s been impossible to get on. I have been doing some walking. Enjoying warmer temps and supposed to be in 60’s tomorrow. I have my annual breast surgeon checkup so keeping fingers crossed.

hello ladies, I am looking for advice. I try to exercise my upper body/arms and when I do I get pain and a bit of swelling under arms shoulders and chest. I need to exercise but can’t find the right thing to do without causing injury/pain. This is a pic of what I recently did and I have a lot of pain under my armpits and upper chest. What do you do for exercising? Thank you
