Bore Da.
Good Morning All.
Cat is out! weather is dull with a cold wind.

Morning all. Grandparent Day today so I’ll say “What Nancy said”.

QS

everyone,
Still too dark to see what it’s doing outside. It snowed lightly during the night so Brian might need to snow blow again. I think I’ll try removing the garlands off our stair railings if they aren’t frozen in place.

The first thing this morning though will be the gym. Which reminds me that I have to try on my bathing suits to see if there is one that fits. I want to sign up for water yoga at our local pool. If I need a new suit I’ll have to go shopping before Friday. I haven’t worn one in years and I don’t know what condition they are in.

I need to start sorting paperwork to get ready to do our taxes. We keep getting papers by mail until mid March so I can’t do them yet but I can get the information collected and organized.

I better have breakfast and do the online banking so I’ll keep this short. Enjoy the start of a new week.

Good Morning!!

Heat Wave, a high of 5C, Weird winter:rolleyes:

I’ll be seeing the nose surgeon this morning and meeting my pals at table tennis in the afternoon.

Took another muscle relaxant last night, slept well and the neck is bearable although not yet perfect.

Was over at the kids for dinner last night, always nice.

Lynn, I too use cushions to prop up the book in my lap, wide decision because evening before last I was sitting in another chair upstairs, had no cushions and you know what happened. Not doing that again. Handsome grandson, look at those dimples:)

Bill, I saw all the “midwife” shows, they are very good.

Nancy, you are way ahead on your taxes, are you so anxious because you are getting a refund?? Casino winnings are not taxable here.

Ellen, I have not received one piece of tax material yet.

Doug, good to hear that Ruth is feeling better. Must have been one of those 24 hour things.

[QUOTEUschi, why do you need to be researching soy isolates? They are nothing short of toxic and people need to avoid anything soy. One of the misconceptions about soy is that Asian communities eat them as a primary protein source. They don’t. They use soy more as a condiment.][/QUOTE]

Char, EXACTLY!!!! they are VERY concentrated soy protein and we here were talking about things being added to convenience food. The story I wanted to tell – I needed to eat more protein so I thought a nice way to get it is to buy “Power Bars” with grains and almonds. About 20 gr of protein coming from nuts right??? WRONG – coming from soy isolates. Soy isolates promote breast cancer.

My breast cancer was caused due to being “estrogen receptor positive” and I am to stay away from soy because it is plant based estrogen which will attach to the estrogen positive receptors.

The long and short of it is, soy isolates are a VERY concentrated form of soy and hence plant estrogen and it is in EVERYTHING – kind of cheating because we believe the protein is coming from healthy nuts or meat.

Darla, it will be hard for Larry to go back to work and I am sorry the surgery with your wrist might need to be redone. If you do, I sure hope it works and on the positive you could check off another 6 weeks or so for days off on the way to retirement.

to you Rod, and sweaty JJ and Annie, oh and you Steve!!

Good Morning from sunny and warm 1C, SW of Ontario. No snow. No breeze. No rain (yet).

I have an appointment in London, ON, with my pain specialist Dr. Lacerte. I’m sick unto death of Dr. appointments (99% of them are Ted’s) and wanted to cancel this one. Ted actually was angry with me and insisted that I keep the date. I am, but I don’t want to. I do hope that he can figure out what’s going on with my back.

That’s it, that’s all. My whole day will be consumed by this… the 1.5 hours to get there and the same time to get home. The hurry up and wait to be seen and then the consultation itself.

Sorry for griping.

Darla, I’m really sorry that a second surgery is needed to return your hand to some state of wellness and usefulness. I guess you have to consider the long term vs. the short term pain and recuperation. You and Larry are going to love retirement.

JJ, when I was young, no one had air conditioning and we loved grocery shopping so we could cool off.

((Ruth)) Doug, I’m glad she’s feeling some better.

Bore da, Rod!

Nancy, we haven’t received any of our tax paperwork yet. Mind you, we don’t have to file until the end of April.

Happy Grandparents’ Day, QS!

You’re sure right about the smothering effect of humidity, Annie! I hope that big fly didn’t bite you.

Ellen, I think you’ll enjoy aquabics. The water allows you to exercise more easily than on land. Don’t spend a lot on a new suit… the water treatment will eat the spandex.

Steve, keeping track of the date is easy for me because I teach on Tuesday and Wednesday and then attend Nutrition Classes on Thursday and Friday. So… the answer is… get a job.

Uschi, I’ve been avoiding soy forever. I just didn’t know why it was so bad. There are simply NO benefits to consuming it. Reading labels has become a necessity because we really need to know what’s in our food.

Marshall, what a shame that you’ve hurt your shoulder.

I’m going to grab a bite to eat and then get showered, dressed and ready for the day. I hope your day is the very best possible.

Rachel, we need you to post telling us you’re ok.

HELLO EVERYONE:cat:

It’s 10:30am & I’m ready to make a run to the library & Hobby Lobby. I need a good pair of scissors for cutting fabric. I am going to be taking part in a sewing module for spring clothing. I have followed a couple of ladies for 1 year on Youtube & I’m going to join in on this one. The idea is used to make better wardrobe choices. You start with 3 tops, 2 bottoms & 1 sweater/jacket/blazer. Pick your fabrics & colors to coordinate with each other. I’ll be excited to set up my sewing area in the craft room this week.

The weather outside today is sunny & will be good temps. As the week goes along it declines. So better to get out today.

So glad to hear from Darla. Sorry to hear that your hand is still giving you fits & that the job assignment is not one you enjoy. Countdown girl, countdown!!!!!

Hope Ruth feels better too.

OK I’m off wishing everyone a good day.

Anita

Uschi, do you have Hellmans mayo? it has soy oil. And so does most every other mayo over here.
