Totally frustrated that I can’t do my outdoor walking and the layer of ice on the roads and sidewalks isn’t going to disappear for a couple of weeks, at least. I can walk indoors, but it’s not the same.

Have a parcel to mail and some groceries to buy. Lots of things at home I should do. Things like organize closets, pantry, etc. Perhaps I’ll start with making a list; that’s a motivator.

Please don't go out and walk on ice if you can help it. (Voice of experience.)

Me, I've decided to stay in. It's -25°F (-32°C). Dammit Jim, I'm retired! I don't have to go out there if I don't want to.

I agree. I prefer outdoor walking and I am walking on the pavement as too much ice on the sidewalk
 
I am recovering from surgery atm and have just started using my spin bike for short periods. Hopefully I will soon be able to go out for my walks and maybe back to the gym. Years ago I was very good at sports/exercise but when I joined a gym a few years ago I discovered that, although I could walk at a pretty fast speed on the treadmill, I just seemed to have a mental block when it came to running. I don't know if it is just me or if it's a common thing but, I was very envious of those people who just got on the treadmill and started running.
I don't run on the treadmill, I only walk fast.. around 4.5 MPH... my treadmill is short and doesn't incline so it would be very difficult to run on it... despite having the dodgy knee I am capable of running and it's the one thing on the treadmill I miss... like you I was an athlete in my youth, and still am very capable of running now... 'till my knee pulls me up..
 
The same weather system that rolled through @Georgiagranny's neck of the woods arrived at my house around 0830; I woke to lightening flashing and thunder rolling. Steady rain until about an hour ago... lovely day to be inside, candles lit, soft Christmas music playing and spending some time with Ed.

We did a couple errands, had BBQ for lunch and now it's time for me to buckle down and figure out the last 1/4 of my cap I'm knitting (the decreasing part with lots of abbreviations in the instructions with which I'm not familiar); I have a feeling I will be checking YouTube more than once this afternoon.
 
Imagine my surprise and delight when I left the building to see the sun shining! DD said it came out around 9. Right now it's 64F. That won't last through the afternoon, but I don't care. The sun is out; that's what I care about.

According to assistant store manager, the bakery is getting another part-timer! She retired a few years ago after 20 years in the bakery at a different store. I'm over the moon. Wish I'd thought to ask when she's starting. Duh.

What he said is we're getting a part-timer and then amended it to a dependable part-timer so I'm not the only one disappointed in Newbie's apparent lack of commitment. She's supposed to go to a training session at another store today from 3-5. Hope she doesn't blow it off because she's already pushing the envelope. Her desire to work 40 hours is down the tubes now that we'll have another part-timer.

Sir cancelled his vacation. He was there yesterday training Newbie. I'm off tomorrow so he'll probably be there tomorrow, too. I'm thinking that he wasn't so much interested in more training for Newbie as he was worried that she wouldn't show up.
 
Well, first off, medicare is a second insurance for me. I have private insurance and Medicare is used only to pay the deductible on my private insurance. My private insurance only has these doctors in this area. I’d have to go to a different county to see a different group.

Secondly, these cardiologists will refuse to see a patient that is 15 minutes late for any reason. I witnessed one of their receptionist practically beg for them to see an elderly woman who was late through no fault of her own; and the PA refused. The actual doctor rarely see patients.

Thirdly, I was NOT in the waiting room. I was in a patient room. The PA; as I said, was in the break room, not with another patient. The rule is, once you are in the patient room, you get seen right away. These are not my rules, these are the rules of the practice.

I met the doctor who placed my placed my new pacemaker 10 minutes before surgery, not after, and not at either appointment since then. The high and mighty doctors rarely interact with the patients except on the first visit due to Covid. Heaven forbid they get exposed.

Lastly, I was not “called out” by whoever messaged me. It was not a gun fight. You have not seen me make political comments. Also, it was not for or about a political discussion, 😂😂😂-your assumption is wrong. I have NEVER been “called out” for any political discussion. I don’t discuss politics. I don’t vote. I don’t care about politics. I have explained how our political system works. That is not a political discussion.

I only brought up the subject, about banning, to explain why I refuse to get dragged into certain discussions by certain people, but occasionally it happens. I also tend to defend people I like and their position on things .

My problem is I completely lack passion, I simply do not care. Therefore, I tend to poke fun at people who attack me; call me various names or give me various attributes; or, as you have, made incorrect assumptions. instead of getting upset I poke.

The attackers attack more, and I poke fun more. 🙄😂. I even said on a post I was just messing around. Thus, it becomes an endless conversation which can be misinterpreted by someone who complains which is what I supposed happened. And I end up with my actions being misinterpreted. I guarantee my actions were meant in fun. The subject was ridiculous to me.

You could have chosen to ask me in private what the thread was and I’d have told you. Instead you posted the above. Perhaps trying to cause me more issues? Idk. Anyway, whatever.
@Aneeda72. If you are unhappy with your medical care, my recommendation stands that you move to a different practice, even if it means commuting there. You've been complaining about your doctors and medical care for quite some time now. On an aside, I assumed you were in a patient room, not the waiting room.

You said, "Btw, I have been warned, once again by a moderator, that I may be permanently banned from senior forms for my views/posts." Since the only moderator on this forum is Matrix, I naturally presumed that's who you were talking about.

I have indeed read thinly veiled political posts written by you in which you add the disclaimer, "this is not a political statement" as if that changes the post's intent.

Whatever, indeed.
 
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS! Sorry to shout. I was just on my exercise bike for 20 minutes. No, I'm not bragging. It's an old bike, from the nineties and makes a bit of noise. So, afterwards, guess who was timidly knocking and ringing my bell for almost 10 minutes while I ignored it? No note this time, I checked.

Me too. I can almost run on it but more like fast walking. I had an issue with my knee a few years ago but the bike seems to have strengthened it so I can run for the bus etc! :) I like the cross-trainer at the gym but with home equipment you have to think of the space you can dedicate to exercise and equipment.
 
I'm redecorating the Christmas tree today. The young'uns were over on Saturday for lunch and Christmas crafts and wanted to decorate the tree for me. I wish I would have thought to take a picture because it was nicely decorated with all my cardinals and snowflakes, but only up to the 4' level. Nothing higher than that. The top 2 1/2 feet were au naturale....

I've shifted things around a bit and all is well with the tree.

We put "made with love" tags on our craft projects, because "made with lots of cursing, burnt fingers from the hot glue gun, three trips to Michaels, a few glasses of wine and much snarling" wouldn't fit on the tags.

We agree to disagree, in any event I have no knowledge of who moderators are or are not on the forum. Except apparently you are not one. 🤡 You are entitled to whatever opinion you want. As I said, my post was about something entirely different and anyone, except you, who wants the answer can PM me. 😊. I’ll try and look up the name of the thread.

I will complain as much as I want. If it bothers you, I suggest you put me on ignore. Anyway, this is one of those useless conversations that goes no where except you are in attack mode against me for some reason and I refuse to respond.

But thanks for the practice. As I said holding my 👅, when people attack me is a work in progress.

you should stick a note on her door telling her she's upsetting the neighbours with her 'bell ringing'' :ROFLMAO:

AHAH! Guess what I just did? Couldn't relax, was mad SO I rode the bike for ten more minutes and I rode it hard! I need the exercise anyway.

You know what? I'm never going to respond to her. It will drive her crazy, you bet! When someone is dying to be paid attention to, and you don't, it makes them nuts!

In her young life, she never met anyone like me, I can guarantee you that :ROFLMAO:
 
All of our errands went smoothly today! Even the dentist took us right away, so we had no reading time in the waiting room!!

We walked at the park and checked on Chelveston....she was spending quality time with her friends. While we were there, we stopped in at the Senior Center. We haven't been there since they reopened after the COVID shutdown. I wanted to get a flyer and look at there fitness room. It was small, but it had the equipment that we wanted, and....it was empty! So, it's an option for us on bad weather days.

All of our other stops were "in & out" ....and we got home earlier than expected!

Now, I need to find some mischief to get into!

I walked about a half mile to the shop to pick up my car after service.
Car has had a good maintenance update. Still have to get an inspection but the car has to be driven 100 miles to reset the the system. That is so aggravating. I have a 15 year old car that only has 40K miles. Like I drive a lot. So I will have to get out there on the freeway and go back and forth, take it back for the inspection.

I decided I needed to treat myself. I stopped at a Jersey Mikes and got a regular italian. They asked what I wanted on it. I say extra pickles (they have great pickles) that young man put a ton of pickles on there. That is what I call customer service, so I did put some cash in the tip jar.

Went to the pharmacy and picked up a prescription, then on to the liquor store for a bottle of vodka. I have the anniversary of my husbands passing coming up. I prefer to try to sleep away that day.
