EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Wednesday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Dec 14, 2016

75 minutes of gym walking + lots of housework today = 13486 steps. I think I deserve a bath tonight.

Just finished reading "Light of the World" by Elizabeth Alexander. She's the women who wrote and delivered the poem at Obama's 2009 inauguration. What a well-written book. Quick read. Her husband died suddenly leaving her and her ...See More

judycaret Thanks for the book report, Elaine. Today I read the first little chapter of Moonglow by my #1 favorite writer, Michael Chabon. I can't read much now and this book will require my full attention, so it may take years to read. But it doesn't matter because, like everything he does, it's beautifully written.

Only 7,000 on my walk today. Lis...See More

I have more money than I know what to do with it.

Teaching made me rich.

Bev-MI Elaine, I can't have Mexican without thinking of shuffle! I am thinking he has been so very ill, he can't get to the computer or heaven forbid, taken from us!

Yesterday, pt workout and treadmill in pm. Today, I walked 3 miles in the senior hall. Love those wooden gym floors.

Snow is on the ground, but not bad. Very cold with belo...See More

Elaine/ret/IN to Bev So good to hear from you and to know that you're not totally frozen solid in the North. Three miles in the gym--bet you wouldn't have predicted that when you were in 7th grade. Doesn't life just make us smile sometimes?

Yes, Shuffle . . .

Problems with Facebook

by Positive person

Dec 13, 2016

Tried to post a response to Kpalm, but kept getting rejected--now I'm doubly rejected--by Facebook and by Tnet--SOB!

Kpalm, how long were you off FB? I'm still blocked. The only thing I can come up with is that my friend and I have the same name, live in the same area, and both post on FB.

Saturday, my DH was able to send them proof (passport with some information crossed out). As of this morning, I still can't get on Facebook, which also prevents me from some other on-line activit...See More

What happened to me... I was once locked out of Facebook for a reason I still don't know. I was instructed to enter my password, then change my password, and I had to identify 10 of my Facebook friends from the profile photos that were generated. Some people use cartoons, flowers, etc so I couldn't identify all 10 so they texted me a code that I could enter and then I wa...See More

Flip or Flop

This isn't exactly CNN Headline news but HGTV's Tarek and Christine of "Flip or Flop" fame are separating. I feel so bad for their kids who are so young.

hadn't heard this I would think with his cancer and treatment, and having a second child during all that, plus trying to tape shows would put a stress on the best of marriages. I hope it works out for the best for their family.

I just did an 11,755 step walk--that's a long one for me. I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not injured, but I use 2 hiking sticks for security since I have occasional balance issues. I just fin...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Babs, hope a good soak in the tub will ease your angry back.

Steps, do you have a video or an audiobook to keep you company while you put in the miles? Hopefully, you'll have some drying in your neighborhood tomorrow.
