Cathy be proud your son felt Ok to call you and talk. I remember my younger years. the absolute, totally last person I would have called was my mother. the worst advice in the world would be from her. good she(aliah) was clear about what what wasn't working rather than stumble...

Did the park walk this morning for 1 hr 15 minutes. pretty morning but no good wildlife lately. we dosed Puss with more of the med but it didnt help. he still meows all the time. will not be good for a 12 hr drive. will try the vet tomorrow for another drug to try and am ordering a...

I did a yard walk later yesterday 30 min along with therapy. I'm making progress with cat behavior. DH is getting less hostile but now I'm working on how to make a long drive with him OK. we never took our other cats on a 12 hour drive so maybe its not reasonable to expect much. I got...

I have heard from more than one person that you walk the day of surgery. depending on what time of day your procedure is, many go home the same day. I need to get a thing or two done before I can do a knee. I think I already said my pacemaker battery is finally winding down after 16 yrs...

Cathy I think it creates a huge PR mess if they don't close the schools and it turns out that they should have. trying to get everyone home safely in the middle of the day in a bad weather event must be hard and open the school boards up to massive public criticism. better to call it a...

this will sound like crazy but we never had "wind chill" numbers reported. started hearing that phrase sometime during my adult years. wind chill certainly was a reality but weather people didnt report it like that. the other thing was, these days mostly both parents work. a...

we did a walk this morning, colder than usual, about 28. 1 hr 15 minutes. typical for us. what is odd is no snow in lower elevations . we wanted to snowshoe / ski and the elevation where there is enough is about 3600 feet. that's high. only major highways go that high. we don't care to...

I did 35min on the treadmill today walking uphill with hand weights. I watched the total body workout, and did a few of the exercises after the treadmill. not sure how my knee will like all those squats and lunges even if they arent as intense as in older workouts. It is feeling fine...

I did half an hour on the spin bike and then 30 min of assorted upper body exercises from stacked upper body in rapid fire sequence. no particular workout, dips, curls push ups tricep pushups side raises, concentration curls, hammer curls. I was watching one of the new workouts...

bathroom project is moving right along. we are still waiting on the replacement floor tile so next week before that gets done. Ive done some walks around our property and therapy work but nothing very interesting. just basic exercise. my knee is not feeling very good and I fear I need...

some loon calls are really eerie. its creepy at night if you are camping. these weren't doing the long calls, just shorter happier sounding calls. they would not be breeding now. cant go walk anywhere while were doing this bathroom project but its moving a long. need to do something...

I only got in therapy work yesterday. we didnt like the floor tile we picked so went back and picked another one. brought floor samples back here and compared and decided we had been totally wrong about what would work. we think this is a better choice now but it delayed things a bit. it...

there are likely exceptions. the jet ( wind) stream flows from west to east. it blows over water, picks up moisture and drops it when it as snow or rain when it hits land. thats where lake effect snow usually occurs. Im sure there will be exceptions. in wisconsin where I lived...

We did the park walk this morning that we intended for yesterday. it was great this morning! mdrizzled a little but 40. first part was normal, around 8 am, but about 2/3 of the way we were walking along a high bluff over the water and we started hearing loons calling. other birds too...

Shannon after reading your description, thats a big "no" on traction devices for his boots! he is lucky to be walking at all. snow or slippery would make it a 1000x worse. no advice here at all. that is quite a list of issues. he keeps moving from sheer will power? could he drive a...

diane sue we knew the build spot was seriously windy. the contractor built "reinforced" wind proof as possible. siding and roof are fire resistant. we positioned it so the garage is a wind block. we graveled 30 feet around and have no plants, wood piles, storage that could ignite. the...

No one in our family lives in LA. we have family a little north of there, and also east in the central valley and sacramento . these areas dont get santa ana winds. who knows who is at risk anymore? we in WA feel like we are at risk too. the rain makes great growing conditions and when...

We rode our neighborhood again on mt bikes. it was cold earlier but now its almost balmy... 50 degrees! our ride is 5 miles with big hills. sorry for the pending bad weather. we have had plenty in the past but not much so far this year. its been very wet and cool but not sure if we...

endocrinology is very complicated. our bodies work with a "feedback"echanism where hormones secreted by one gland influence how others function. I am seeing an endocrinologist because my calcium is running slightly high, possibly related to the parathryoid glands. I was directed to take less...

DH and I are fussy about where we ski, which is old logging roads. we do not enjoy places with lots of people and preset tracks. there aren't many of those roads left because logging is less these days and we need to be able to get to them. most are minimally maintained. if trees fall, you...
