its my hip and my back, the areas are not far apart... its a little better today. later today i used cold packs after doing my stretches and they felt very good. im going to try something called dry needling at PT its a little like acupuncture which I never had either. im doing all the...

I got retired unexpectedly in the early '90's. I wore mostly suits, pants suits and heels. and panty hose. always panty hose. i truly dont miss any of those things especially panty hose but I dont have good enough skin tone to go bare legged either. fake tans are the wrong color...

We did a mt bike ride this morning, 1 hr 40 minutes. definitely WAY harder than road riding. hills. when we first start the ride its about 12 minutes uphill without a break. its not very steep and in a car not noticeable but on a bike you can tell, especially because you are right out of...

I did PT this morning before i left, then did PT at the clinic for an hour. later i did a 10 min spin to warm up and then upper body exercises in sets of 16 for about half an hour. mostly bicep/tricep and a few chest presses. I dont think i can get more out of PT there so plan to finish up...

OMG in- person shopping! the horror, the horror!! haven't done that in decades. I would not have a clue where to start. " short" is never anywhere near short enough. a dress? havent worn a dress since maybe 1990. I dont even know what store to start with. Ive done on-line...

Let me clarify. the mice are not in a "usable" part of the hot tub. the tub itself and a panel for electrical connections etc were pristine. when the whole tub is going to the dump, all the outside structure supporting the tub is removed. that is where the mice lived. the whole tub...

15 min spin to warm up and then 30 min of bicep/tricep work, and 30-45 min of stretching and abs work. weather is still unpleasantly hot and smoky air. might be better tomorrow. we had an old hot tub that we've had for 23 years. it was barely working anymore so today we had it removed...

its scary as hell carolyn!. spokane is a big city not a little burb in the middle of the forest . when the wind gets going the fire advances rapidly. In a city they cant dig or burn fire lines to block progress of the fire and last i heard it was not at all under control. dont...

just stretching again today. Several sessions. plus a little garden work. we got some rain but not enough really. we could stand to get many inches. as you can see from the news, the eastern part of the state is having major fires. very scary for everyone especially around the...

We also did the mackinac island tour but i think you could still drive on the island. went to see the locks at Sault St Marie. my father liked "engineering marvels" i guess. mostly we would go to Door County. or the Wisconsin Dells. most destinations were only a few hours drive...

Carolyn i thought the canned hydrogenated oils were used too. I use butter for what i need which is not that much. i use it for cookies . I dont like anything on bread. I dont care much for frosting or cakes. its a minuscule part of my food intake. not trying to sound like a...

so im resting after our ride and i looked it up. actually, a lot of states didn't allow colored margarine. wisconsin was the last state to legalize in 1967! it still doesnt allow it in restaurants unless customer asks for it. the AI summary link...

We rode the trail this morning. 15 miles 1 hr 15 min. yesterday i just did a lot of stretching and ab work. Carolyn margarine came in plastic pouches with a little dye tablet inside. somebody, usually one of us kids, had to knead and massage it to get the dye distributed so it was yellow...
