there are more and more "prepared" products on the shelf especially refrigerated. like sandwiches and salads to go, entire meals to go with all the ingredients on the tray. mixed fruit cups. i am wary of fruit. if the outside of the fruit is not thoroughly washed, when you cut into it...

Carolyn I do the same. we seldom eat out. I worry about produce because we eat so much of it, and there is e coli contamination. sometimes the bacteria cant be washed off although i do wash most things at least once in a salad spinner. I love that thing and have worn out 4-5 of them...

cathy we also have a pressurizer on our water system which goes out if we lose power, but water is still functional. leak located ,is but in a hard to get to spot. we assumed( never good to assume) that the water line was along the road like the rest of the development, but its not...

cathy our toilets work, power or no. but not without water. no water jug weighs less than10 pounds. our small ones are 25 and the big ones >45. if we ever have a natural disaster or like this, our water system fails, we can get by with enough to share. that is so crazy with...

I did more grocery shopping this morning after picking up a prescription for DH. We keep a stash of foods water and extra clothing in an outside shed in case we ever have a major disaster here and every few years it needs replacing. then this afternoon our HOA had a big water problem...

I did therapy 2x and Stacked upper body today. mild temps 50-ish- and rainy today and tomorrow probably too. Carolyn getting supplies ahead of time is the best plan. I don't leave shopping to the last minute. we have (in a way) lucked out this year by not having any true winter...

We walked the park again this morning. its warm today and we could maybe have ridden but it was quite windy and we expected rain any minute so a walk was best. 70 minutes. was at least 50 degrees. the WSDOT is the only road info I know , and "road conditions" are not part of the...

Well there is always the smart ass with the giant 4WD truck or SUV who thinks they are exception to the rules of physics about objects in motion tending to stay in motion. Western WA is terrible that way especially the little 20-somethings in a big tearing hurry. plus it doesn't snow...

We walked the park again this morning. an hour 20 minutes. again very pleasant out but the rain is coming back tomorrow. upper 30's to start and probably mid forties now. ooo no sideways snow is the worst kind! we get that in Montana because its always windy there and drifts...

oh sigh................... the stupidbowl. I'm not enthused. I do my best to ignore it. the ads used to be funny and worth seeking out but the last few years they haven't been very clever. we usually plan something outdoors to take advantage of fewer people around if the weather is...

Carolyn I know too well! omg the hype is overwhelming. i'm not a sports fan. I used to be more interested, so I know reasonably well how the game is played etc. I just don't watch. I watch some of the Olympics but that's about the limit on sports for me. my husband...

I feel kinda guilty here with sunshine and cold but otherwise nice weather. didnt do anything yet today but will do some cardio shortly. there is a big football game here today that is monopolizing the news. not likely to get any "real" news today. Good to hear you are doing Ok so far...

we are still cold and clear here, total anomaly in January. no rain for 12 days in a row so far. we learned the hard way about exposed pipes. we had insulated covers on outside outlets and insulated the obvious pipe in the garage. the pipes that connected to outside spigots were in the...

Yesterday I did therapy and Stacked upper body. this morning we did a park walk. about 80 minutes. it was cold and clear and just lovely. so quiet every little splash in the water was audible. when ducks dove they left a little patch of bubbles that must get squeezed out of their...

you are 100% right cathy. our snow pack is pathetic! usually there is plenty of snow to ski by thanksgiving, or shortly after. we had a lot of rain but it melted off what little snow there was and it has not been replenished. some years are very difficult but so far this one is too...

we did what we thought would be a snowshoe but more of a hike. 3.5 hours. its a forest service road to an old fire lookout. supposedly the mileage was not much but it took a long time. we think the mileage was wrong. the drive was long and slow. finally got to the snowline but the...

I did a yard walk yesterday plus therapy x2. yes we heard about the 100 car mash up too. nice to go national, huh? Puss came from California. definitely not happy with freezing temps. he has been outside for a few minutes, but it was 30-ish this morning and he hurried back...

it was so funny watching Puss yesterday. he would run up a cedar tree, 4 feet diameter, and then jump off or run back down. he ran up the trees right where we were working, got high enough to see us, then ran back down. . the tree he got stuck in was only 10 or 12 feet away...

we did a park walk this morning 1 hr 10 minutes. then we came home and worked outside on the roof of our wood shed. replacing the shingles. its a lot of work up and down the ladder carrying a lot of tools and supplies. our cat was running up the close- by cedars so he could look at us...

judy your comments are what happened to me. i was still doing PT work from after my back surgery. at some point my back got worse not better. i should have gone back for a reassessment but i didnt.. the new PT place had different ideas, different exercises. it is helping now. i am not...
