Yay Imerullo! yoga that is free and low environmental impact - double win! i made 30 ornaments. Last year I sold 24. They are flying pigs,...

My last glaze load for the sale this weekend is in the kiln. I broke an ornament this morning rushing because I was trying to fit too much in -...

Really nice! as for me, the photos and scrap book materials are all now in the same room the basement is much better. And the doll shelf is up....

I could be way off here, but my first reaction to the WW idea is that WW for UL is likely to be a lot like me trying to use this place as support to...

Yep. Impulsive, indulgent UL does not like being reined in. And probably the people around you don’t get it. keep turning to your support group!...

I’m really proud of you. different struggle, but I do understand the journey. know that you are much more than the food guy. Knowing you...

Yes. If we get a “warm spell” I may still try, but the 10 day forecast doesn’t look good.

Yppej, that sounds like a good start. way to go on the walking! And the shopping. you are doing the best you can with the things that are not...

I was going to say, you are basically making weak lye as you clean.

The waist to hip thing makes sense to me. My girls are hourglasses, but the weight they carry low is mostly solid. You can tell just by watching...

Pom Pom socks! dd “played” soccer at three. She switched to swimming at 7. Added cross country and track at 14, and at 15 dropped swimming and...

My dd1 is like you - she is two inches shorter and ten pounds heavier than I am and solid. Her pants are smaller, but we wear the same size shirt. ...

We have worked with public services before. one kid ended up being an astonishing success story. I still feel happy every time I see him in the...

Actually, legally we aren’t a school at all. Legally all of our students are homeschooled and their parents have full responsibility for their...

I don’t know what happened to them. We don’t offer “mental health services” i know at least one was told that if he saw a qualified psychiatric...

Last year we had four students expelled for behavior I would classify as “early warning signs for disassociated shooter”. but the thing is, I...

I think I am going to skip my class this morning. The project we are working on today is not high on my priority list, and I am falling behind. The...

Zoe, cutting off childcare would be hard for me! Good luck. Told the food bank I would be gone for a while and met my goals on pottery yesterday....

Yay! I am happy to have company. Mschrisgo2, the addition is not finished. The floor is in boxes in the barn. The window trim is partly up and...

I like rules. Rules make things clear and easy. i don’t like stupid rules though ;) as for food, I try to eat things that are healthy and make...

Our food bank will take dusty and dented - we put them on the “take whatever you want” table and they go. we will take expired for the same table...

Paid on the car and the loan again. Less than $900 left on the car.

I lost one pound in October. i did yoga three mornings this week and swam 2000m the other two days. i have a big pot of veggies roasting in the...

I am a middle aged (ok, i’m 50, can pretend that’s still middle age?) white woman. statistically the biggest human threats to my life are ...

Dh likes the yoga. Some days we skip it because one of us has too much to fit into the morning or he has to be at work too early, but he tries to...

So, I just realized the 8 weeks of my 8 week plan were over this past weekend. so, how did i do? work - classes are going well, just added a...

We paid off our hone equity loan recently. here is how it works - each payment includes the interest accrued since the last payment, plus a little...

The biggest one for me was becoming a mom. it was something I knew I wanted, and when it happened I was all in. Suddenly, for the first time,...

Time is money ;) actually, I think it was jp who used the word “liquidated” about the 401k? I’d say anything that has to be liquidated before it...

Oh, I derailed thus thread badly. I am sorry. It was meant as a commentary on health care costs for animals and care decisions and how our...

My $300 alpaca got stomach cancer. When we decided against the several thousand dollars for surgery, he starved nearly to death. When hecouldn’t...

I think my cat is a republican. He is angry that I make him have health care, he likes to hunt and objects to me placing any limits on his right...

The deli worker wears gloves. (S)he slices the product as usual, puts it on the piece of paper on the scale as usual, folds the paper over, puts it...

I took my reusable container to the deli again today. There was a different person working the counter. She said “I wish more people would do this,...

Tonight I swam a nautical mile. :)

One of the women in my hoarding support group has a volunteer position in an organization. She forgot to schedule a speaker for their monthly...

Thanks for the encouragement. i’m starting to feel like things are getting better in a lot of areas, but i’m a little afraid it’s because i’m not...

UL, that could be the answer to all your problems - the one person who finds all of your quirks appealing and wants to meet all of your improvement...

Well, as you have been friends with this person for a long time, perhaps, if you want to continue to be friends with her, you should ask about what...

My guess is spam/bot, but it did make me look back at what was going on with me.

Kind of interesting to see this pop back up. i am down a net of two pounds. but for a while I was doing really badly, but now (with the help of...

Steve, that is hilarious. It’s like the rebulican mailing I just got with footnote numbers on all the things they said about the dmocrat - but no...

Here: https://1bagatatime.com/learn/plastic-bags-petroleum/ obviously they have an agenda, but it was the best I could find quickly. also,...

I see this as a positive step. if you look at environmental issues as a building where everybody comes in on the first floor and we’re trying to...

UL, I think you mom was right on. i was taught to avoid the appearance of impropriety. that said, I did a lot of things that looked improper. ...

So I am getting more clues about where this is coming from. Last night he went out with friends from work. All his work friends are older. I shall...

When I go to the grocery store, I ask for paper bags. It takes the bagger more effort, so I always explain that I take them to the food bank because...

No, you’re still galling, but the gall bladder does play a key role in digesting animal fat.

Me, but that’s because my body seems to have “forgotten” how to process it - change in the gut biome most likely. I only eat it by accident -...

It’s not that he expects me to also “retire”, it’s that he refuses to put my income into his calculations. On the theory that if he has retired, I...

The thing is that dh probably could retire now. he is the most conservative guy I know. His current plan says he can retire at 60. his...

So, it has been nearly a month. I survived the visit from my inlaws. The iron has actually kicked in and I have a lot more energy, but I am still...
