I might upgrade my yoga a bit

snowy @snowy22315 (212788) • United States 7 Sep

I was just looking at the Parks and Rec catalogue for the coming months, and they have 5 sessions of gentle yoga for 10 bucks. That might be more beneficial for me than what I am doing. Besides the routine at the library is...

@mayka123 Five gentle yoga sessions for $10 sounds like a really good deal, and it might be nice to have a change from the routine you've been doing at the library. Sometimes just changing the place or trying a few different exercises makes things more interesting...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (51) • United States 7 Sep

My friend turned 75 a few days ago Somebody took her to Outback Steakhouse for her birthday and she got this cool drink. I’m on my phone so I can’t look up the ingredients but wanted to share the cute photo with you

@mayka123 That really is a cute birthday drink! ?? I love the way restaurants sometimes make an ordinary drink look special, especially for a celebration. Turning 75 certainly deserves something a little fancy too. I would probably be curious about what's in it before...

Twenty One Years.

rakski @rakski (161016) • Philippines 7 Sep

Today marks our 21st wedding anniversary. 21 years of good and not so good times. We all have challenges along the journey. How time fies but here we are twenty one years later. I am just taking my moment to appreciate the...

@mayka123 Happy 21st anniversary to both of you! Twenty-one years together is definitely something worth celebrating. I like the way you put it too, because marriage isn't only about remembering the happy times. There are difficult days, disagreements and challenges...

I didn't get much accomplished today.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (62820) 7 Sep

We've been on overload around here lately. Too much to think about, too many plans, and unfortunately too many worries. Neither son nor I felt like doing much this weekend. Other than having to pick up meds from Walmart Saturday...

@mayka123 Sometimes a quiet weekend where you don't accomplish much is exactly what you need, especially when you've had too many things on your mind. And you actually did more than you give yourself credit for! Two casseroles, picking up medications, talking with...

The Older We Get, The More Maintenance We Need

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (51) • United States 7 Sep

Remember when you were 20 and you could just hop out of bed and go to work (or college) and be gone all day and then just fall into bed at night? I started making a list of all the "maintenance" items I had to do now at 61. I...

The Thing About Bananas

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (51) • United States 7 Sep

I like bananas. I always have. I didn't eat them for a while because they're a high-carb fruit. So I allegedly have high blood pressure now. And my research says that potassium lowers blood pressure. Bananas have a lot of...

@mayka123 That's exactly the problem I have with bananas too. I like them, but they seem to go from not quite ripe to overripe before you know it, especially in warm weather. ?? Buying a smaller bunch makes more sense if you're the only one eating them. I don't mind a...

What Kind of Sugar Do You Use?

celticeagle @celticeagle (193602) • Boise, Idaho 7 Sep

I went to put sugar on my grocery list and Splenda came up. It is advertised as 600x sweeter than sugar and calorie free. It seems that Splenda was approved by the FDA back in 1998 but since then research has raised...

@mayka123 I usually prefer regular sugar too. I don't use a huge amount of it, so I'd rather have a little of the real thing than use something much sweeter as a substitute. I've tried artificial sweeteners before and never really liked the aftertaste anyway. I think...

Gas prices up again in California.

The Horse @TheHorse (240516) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Sep

When I got back from Montana, I was glad to see that gas prices were only up another 30 cents in California, relative to when I left. But they are continuing to rise. Unleaded Regular is now at $5.69/gallon, the highest I recall...

@mayka123 $5.69 a gallon certainly sounds expensive, especially when the price keeps creeping up. Fuel prices fluctuate here in India too, although we buy petrol by the litre rather than by the gallon. I don't drive myself, but increases in fuel prices still affect...

How’s It Going ?

Lazy Day

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2478) • United States 28 Aug

Anyone Still Active Here From 2009?

IamFemme @iamfemme (136) 30 Aug
