EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Wednesday

by men52

Jun 21, 2017

I ride my bike to spinning class. It had a lot of interval and resistance training plus it was like a sauna in there. Riding home felt like a cooling shower compared to class. I got caught in a conversation at the end of cool down so I ended up with 19.4 miles.

I am trying to decide which pool to take the grandkids to after my nap. ha

Elaine/ret/IN Ah, men52, I'm chuckling about the difficult decisions of a retiree. Though, you're not really retired, are you, Gram? 19.4!!

12,023 on two walks and lots of housework and outdoor work.

I just finished listening to "Be Frank with Me." If you have Overdrive, it's a great book to download and help you pass the time when you're exer...See More

First, I love the new format, but I foresee a potentially large issue with requiring forced logging to respond. Let's say there is an issue which you wish to have fellow teachers advice, view points or suggestions. Those teachers ask you a question. You cannot respond to that question without giving up your anonymity.

See the examples... <...See More

Keith OP here, I'm sure you can tell with my IP. I'm completely in agreement with what you said about encouraging posting while signed in, however, I have a strong feeling people are going to create multiple accounts for times when they wish to be somewhat anonymous should they feel the need to do so. I do applaud the encouraged signing in as it does ten...See More

Bob R/CA Thanks for joining Keith - add an avatar and give a little life to the place. :o)

I don't have a problem with people getting multiple accounts, if they have extra email addresses. That seems like a useful approach not just here, but anywhere that requires registration.

On that issue, not only do all of the most popular websites re...See More

Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and due to be repaid next January.

New format?

by flacka

Jun 21, 2017

When I open up the chat board I see each post in its entirety. Is this the new format? I miss seeing a list of the posts that I can peruse and open only the ones that interest me.

Bob R/CA There is a sort box in the top that allows you to see a bullet list of new topics and posts. Does that help?

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Tuesday

by men52

Jun 20, 2017

I was dropping the 7 year old off at her elementary school for a little dance camp when I ran into the nature club leader. She was going to work on the school's garden area where she does nature classes with the students. I offered to help for a couple hours and in those two hours I filled four large garbage cans full of weeds and trimmings. OMG we...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Men, doesn't it feel good to have something to "show for" your exercise? But,that sounds totally overwhelming. The rain makes things grow, for sure. And, also easier to pull out. :)

jrod, now you have to go back to get your truck. Lucky they had a loaner for you. So kind of you to help your son move. Truck first, then gym is probably your ...See More

I need to answer this question:

Write a paragraph that describes your city or town and what you like or

dislike about it. Use both concrete and abstract nouns.

You need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality.

School Inspection questionnaire

by Novel

Jun 19, 2017

We have the inspectors in.

We have the chance to fill in an anonymous questionnaire.

Is it really anonymous? Do I pull together with the school as we have been asked to do, or fill a bluntly honest assessment?

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Monday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Jun 19, 2017

I see now, Judy, that it was less than 101 when you walked in the morning. Whew! I remember that you eventually hope to migrate south.

Volatile pop-up showers today, but neither DH on the golf course, nor me on my appointed rounds got caught in it. Two walks: 12,979 steps.

Project of the day: update the Habitat scrapbook. Check.

men52 I had a busy day today too. I had to take the 7 year old in for an ultrasound at 10. If you can imagine a 7 year old fasting until she had to drink 24 oz of water in an hour, then you know that involved a lot of supervision and encouragement. She checked out ok, but there sure was a lot of giggling during the ultrasound as she is very ticklish. ...See MoreI had a busy day today too. I had to take the 7 year old in for an ultrasound at 10.

She checked out ok, but there sure was a lot of giggling during the ultrasound as she is very ticklish.

I had planned on going on a long bike ride before I had to take our daughter to her appointment at 4. That changed when the office called to cancel her appointment for the third time this month. That put her in a panic as her prescriptions ran out today. I have to act in her behalf when this stuff happens to her so that took some hours to get that worked out.

So, when I got home in the middle of the afternoon, the sky was still blue with cumulus clouds so I did my 1 1/2 hour long ride. I drank a sports drink which helped a lot in stopping my arms shaking. I put more air in both tires That helped. I played around with my gears and I think that is why my back tire was so hard to pedal on Saturday. I also think I had my foot too far to be front of the pedal so I wasn't getting the full power of my legs. The wind was strong today, but I plugged along and completed my ride not nearly as physically drained as I was Saturday,

When I talked to my daughter yesterday, I found out that her husband's kickboxing class is right across the street from that Glenfell Tower fire. He and his buddies were leaving their class when they saw the fire there in London. The attack on the mosque was even closer to the area they live. They live in a very multicultural area which I think London is overall. I hate to see what is happening in that city. I have to remind myself that zLondon is very large city and the news we get here is only for a very small part of the city.

Elaine, have you seen that really cool garden design that IKEA released yesterday? I thought of you as I know you garden. One can download the plans and then have the garden made out of plywood. Supposedly one 9 foot garden can feed an entire neighborhood. Very intriguing.

Keep movin' everybody!
