Sas, met his mom in November (Parents are divorced and dad isn't really in the picture. It's a shame because he is such a gentleman. His mom did a great job.). Our bdays are six days apart. Both families went out to dinner. It was like I've known her for a long time. We all went out to dinner for Christmas. DD1 says his mom really likes her. That's a plus since he's an only child. DH is an only child and I wasn't really accepted. He even commented that he would help us around the house if we needed him. Can we all say awwww! Please say some prayers for his mom. We just found out she had surgery for ovarian cancer two weeks ago.
Sas, seriously think about a brace for your ankle. It's dangerous falling that many times and you don't want to push your luck. Hope you had a good lunch.
Patty, would seeing a physical therapist for your back help? I hate hearing how it gives such pain. Please try to not push your self too much. If you can take advantage of motorized carts at the store.
Boyd, glad to hear it was B9.
Smaarty, in your pocket tomorrow
I know I've missed a lot of you gals. Hope you all are ding well.

Sas, I'm glad to hear you are not broken. Take it easy with that elliptical, OK?
Loved the pictures of all you gorgeous girls!

Good evening friends- I watched the Superbowl. Mostly because I got invited to a SB party and it was great fun. Could not stay until the end though and came home to hear on TV the Broncos won. Denver will be a happy city tomorrow. Not like they were not before, just sayin!

SAS, Have you considered an air brace? It's clear plastic and you blow it up to make it stiff. Maybe if you do something mild now, you won't have to progress to something ugly. I worry that your head always seems to contact something hard.

jazzy. Lol. I figured you would have some kind of plans today. Glad you enjoyed it.
Loverly. Lol. I got all my sistas with. Come-on everybody lets dance ...great flashback.
Kathy. Re motorized carts. Umm I don't use them. I know its prideful and just plain silly but its a pride thing. Both for me and dss. I look very young ( OK that may be prejudiced. Lol ) well um young and healthy. I hate people looking at me like "hmmmph. Lazy girl". I know..I know ... I Gotta learn to put that pride aside for an easier trip and more importantly an easier NEXT day .
So I've been incredibly exhausted and in pain since my trip to town this am I've just laid on the couch and lounged in the recliner. No sleep but don't wanna move and don't touch me ...or breathe on pe .. Or even look at me .. Just leave me alone when. I feel this horrible. Gonna try to get some sleep and wake revving to go
Hootie hoo

Wren you are so right. Concrete and ceramic tile--not fun. Once the fall begins, it can't be stopped. Serious, the thought going down this time was "this is going to be bad". But it could have been allot worse. Flip-flop front caught on and eighth of an inch wood stripping at the door. I have used an air brace before. Inexpensive and trustworthy. But the toe tip thing. Not sure how to work with that? Any ideas?
Patty, strain & sprains take months and months to heal. Uncomplicated Fractures 6-8 weeks. I've always said that the inventor of the bubble will be rich. Invisible bubble, LOL.
These are the chairs. The seats on my curbside finds are much nicer. Exact number of back slats with the curve on the inner six. The outside slats are straight. The curve on the slats are very comfortable. My chairs are a high gloss black. These are listed at overstock.com at 150$ Someone was just emptying the house out and we stopped. I said I was interested in the chairs. He said 250$ for everything. I declined. He said well if you come back in a couple of hours and I'm not here, just take them. We did and they were still at the curb. We went back and got the exerciser and a electric keyboard. Nice haul.

PATTY, GIRL.............I'll come all the way to Arkansas and smack you. (chevy said that). Use that machine, if it will mean that much difference. Think of it as a time extender with the DS'S & DH.

Hi Cubbie, Thanks
Also, thanks for the name "elliptical". You must know something about them? Yeah, it'll be months before I can use it. Been on this road with shoulder arm injury at the end of 2013. Both shoulders a few days apart. One was a fall in a lawn covered dog hole and the other was wet ceramic from wet dog paws at the door. I don't walk in the lawnanymore and careful with their wet feet now. How you doing?
Jazzy sounds fun. Did you get in on the pool?

Kathy, thanks, I do have to do something. I've made all these rules and then I find a new way to fall. The fiancé sounds wonderful. And his Mom liking her. YAY. His Mom sounds wonderful too. Sorry, she has trouble. Sucks. What are the chances of the kids living close after they are married?

Morning gals.... Well the Bronco's won, but it was a pretty sloppy game! I went to bed during the 3rd quarter... Manning was dropped, intercepted more times than a beginners foot-ball game. Without the Bronco's defense, the Panthers should have had it in the bag.
I woke up with all the blasts and fireworks going off.... Denver is a rowdy town anyway, when it comes to all the bars down in LoDo...(Lower Downtown) And they all go nuts for the slightest reason! Last time, cars were turned over, and burned, stores looted, and all because of a bunch of drunks celebrating what-ever gets in their heads.... and terrorizing everything in their path.
Not very good reviews either! Guess I'm just not a foot-ball fan....
Sass, I have a Recumbent Bike, but still haven't used it much... Only reason is, I don't have room to keep it in the house, so it is in the storage garage, until spring! It's really comfortable, and the Doc thought it would help strengthen my hip.... but I get winded so FAST when I was starting out on it... I know it will help a lot of things though...
Now I'm not going to lecture anyone on flip-flops, but MAN, those are the most dangerous things on the planet... PLUS a wet tile or linoleum floor? I keep a little "water-rug" by the back door.... It is rubber backed, but flat fiber on the top.... We don't step on the linoleum tiles without wiping our feet... And we have so much ICE half the time!

Maybe just wear them in bed!

there's a big difference between flip flops and sandals. Check out Birkenstock site. These have arch support, heel support they were designed in Germany to be a walking/hiking shoe. True flip flops are inherently dangerous for anybody.

Sas: Google Gazelle exercise machine. I think that is what you have.
I love my flip-flops too. My current fave pair was bought at Ron Jon Surf Shop,, the bottom is yoga mat material. The thong between the toes is soft, as I can't stand it if it is hard material.
Was working so only listening to the game and running into the living room when I got a chance. But Lady Gaga was great!!

Loveroflife- chinese new year and the Year of the Monkey beginning today?

Yes, Jazzy. Not the same here...no celebration :(Life goes on. Thank you again for the video. Didn't get a chance to finish it and can't wait to find out what happened to the little orphan. Didn't know snub nosed monkeys are such compassionate creatures. Hey, are you still going to Cuba this year

Loveroflife- no, timing and $$$ was not right for me to go this time. Maybe in the future!

Have Donnie install one of these

SAS, Wish I knew a cure for toe stubbing. I do it too, so pass the cure along if you find it. I'm getting to the point where I have to think about walking when I'm doing it. Doesn't help that sidewalks are uneven and mossy.

so results already back in. All good, nothing wrong with me. So for now, no more push-ups and see if it all goes away.
Everybody be good. Where's Susan? She hasn't posted for awhile. Hey you? You ok

Jasszy:) I know you have regularly kept vigil. You, loverly, and Chevy. Beautiful pictures and thoughts between you all. I so wish I could remember what she told me about her tats. She has ladybugs on her hand and ankles. They all have a meaning. When she was here last year, she and her niece were going to get another lady bug. I was bummed when Spooks & I met with her and she told me the story of each. I thought I need to remember...............which lead to me immediately forgetting. The first was in memory of someone, then the second was in solidarity, and then the third was with the niece. But it's all fuzzy.

Sassy- Blondie and I had a long text talk last fall. There are a couple of us who have kept in touch with her for awhile. We love her bunches. Daisylover is waiting to hear more from the family. I am sending her prayers and to everyone around her.
And well, to all you too. A round of prayers on the house.

Jazzy, that's so so so nice. Her family basically sucks, except for the niece(stepdaughter)in Florida. Did you get the story on the tats? Not usre Spookie was in proximity when I asked her about her tats.
56* here, finally broke down and brought the bathroom space heater into the computer room. I have the house heater set at 70. Still the nerd. I check Florida power & light energy board every morning. Base the days actions on the numbers. Last months bill was 82$ and change. Same house in Feb. 1998--176$, Feb, 1999--260$---new Trane furnace/ac it went down to the next Feb 101$. The causative action though for the new furnace was a Dec bill that was 350$ in 1998. But then I had to search and find the right product so instillation didn't happen till Feb.
Then it kept creeping up over the years. Fuel costs were more and Greg controlled the thermostat. I was oblivious. Oblivious.
I had this stuff put in the attic in 2010, silver reflector stuff, bill went down from average 250$ to average 130$, now with the new pool pump and more insulation saving about 30-40$ more a month. Wish I'd been this much of a nerd before. After reviewing the file, could have been saving thousands. YAY for energy nerds

sassy, have you thought about putting solar in? We did 3 years ago. Big difference in the summer. Our yearly electric bill is about $950 now. We pay yearly except I alway send something in every month to avoid a huge bill.
