Llama,

Thanks for asking. So far so good. He still has doctor appointments, but he is hanging in there.

It’s a wonderful day here! High 60’s and sunshine. I can’t resist going out. Hubby and I are meeting a couple of friends for lunch. Will dine outside on the patio on this beautiful day.

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

Had fun at the dog park today with my daughter and grand pup!

It’s really fun to see how dogs interact with each other. They make friends at the park like kids do at the playground.

🥰 why you shouldn't care so much about what people think of you...following their advice, not following their advice, etc.:

1. they don't know what's best for you
...no one will ever be as invested in your life as you
...people are experts on themselves (NOT YOU)
...in addition, some people are idiots. there are a lot of stupid people out there, and a lot of people who will want to see you fail
...it will bring you down. if all your happiness is wrapped up in the opinion of others, you will never be happy. if one insult, one jab, one bad opinion of you sends you into a deep depression and a fit of self-loathing, you will live your life worried and depressed. you can't live your life being vulnerable so that one thing can change the entire course of your happiness.
...opinions aren't truths. who gives anyone the authority to think their opinion is the right one?

2. it will keep you from your dreams
...if you constantly worry about what other people think, you will never get to where you need to go in life

3. what's right for someone else may be completely wrong for you

4. people will always have opinions about what you should and shouldn't be doing
...and often, they'll change their opinions!

5. you're the one stuck with the end result

6. you can simplify your life by not caring what people think of you
...you save time
...you become brave
...you become independent

Finally got a new cellphone, and so far it is pretty easy to use. It's a Motorola. Also got a new cellphone number something very easy to remember because I've always been telephone number challenged :P

Now I can cancel my Jitterbug/Lively which I didn't like. Even though the advertisements made it sound like it was so simple to use. Nope, it was so darn complicated to use, plus any time I picked up the phone my palm would bump the Alert button.

Since I had stopped using my old phone 6 months ago, I stopped hearing from my teen grand-daughters. Even though my house phone was alive and well, they wouldn't call me on that phone. Strange. Maybe it was the lack of texting/emojies for house phones. Poor things.

Occasionally we see a post where someone needs a shower and doesn't have room for a bath refit on a ground floor. I saw this product (showerbay) on FB and offer it as a possibility. I have no actual experience with it but it looks good.

We don't have laws against jaywalking in Canada but we've been so heavily influenced by American media that many of us we think we do.
When I made a cross country tour with some friends back in the 80's I remember being surprised that people "out west" stopped for us ... I was also astonished that people hauling slow moving trailers often pulled over to let traffic go by!

I remember being amazed when we moved to Alberta - cars actually stopped for pedestrians. They are very polite here. In Montreal you had to watch out for yourself even if you were on the sidewalk near the curb. Crossing the street was a matter of looking both ways, waiting for a lull in the traffic and dashing across as fast as you could even when the light was in your favour. There was some control at lights but you still had to be very careful. In Alberta people don't jaywalk. I remember being in London UK with dd near the palace and trying to cross the street. Finally we saw a break in the traffic and we ran. She laughed. She said she had never seen me run before.

I'm not sure how I was first introduced to Not Just Bikes, maybe reddit?🤔
I think his other videos are great too, they are easy to follow and have really made me stop and think the way we do things!

CW, how in the world did you ever find that video?! I actually watched the entire thing and is right up my career alley. To say nothing of I have been hit by cars twice in my life. I found the continuous sidewalk to be a very reasonable solution to put to use in this country. I wonder if our traffic engineers learn about these in this country. Interestingly enough, just yesterday, the City of Denver got rid of fines for jaywalking and it is no longer against the law. Wonder if they saw this video.😊😊

A much needed hair cut today at my local salon - could actually walk there, but have to cross a busy road where idiots drive.

Glad,

I knew that she struggled with addiction. She spoke about her struggles in the past. It’s tough.

I grew up with an addict. My brother who is now deceased, would get clean, then relapse, over and over. His lifestyle finally caught up to him. It’s heartbreaking for a family.

How is that even possible to lose that much weight in a month? That’s wild.

NHWM, Lisa Marie had again become addicted to opiates and lost 50-60 pounds in the month before the reward show! She did not look at all well!

Glad,

So sad that Lisa Marie died so young in life. I feel bad for her family, especially her children. It’s sad for her mom too.

Did you see her interview for the last award show? I saw it flipping through the channels. She looked extremely thin and fragile.

Not criticizing her. I’m naturally thin.

I think she was purposely dieting and some people lose weight too fast instead of 1 or 2 lbs a week like people are supposed to do.

A lot of people are using the diabetes drug, Ozempic to lose weight now. My nurse says that she lost 50 lbs on it without even trying.

FF, my very large German Shepherd lays on our bed on his back with all 4 paws skyward. He is the picture of chilling.

If you walk in the room he opens one eye and gives you a look of irritation because you disturbed him.

Pets have such great personalities.

Cats make napping look so easy. Oh how I wish I could curl up in a wing back chair on my back, with my arms over my head. Purring =^..^=

Golden I am feeling encouraged. I was really scared for a while there and I still have a ways to go before I can walk without a limp but I hope I'll get there with a bit of work on my part. It could be so much worse.

Oh yes, and I am trying to get more calcium and protein. You gave good advice on that.
