Gah tree roots !!! We had the exact same thing happen in the house we were renting. Ah the joys of home ownership tho right ? We did find a gold coin in the wall at one point while remodeling our current home soooo there’s that at least.

Yikes !!! That’s not good. We are going through that now. We just this year have replaced both the dishwasher & washer. I’m actually convinced we have ghost dogs that belonged to the previous owners. And TY about the lake photo. We braved the cold and walked down there today and got a nice icy photo for the series I’m…

Cut an access point into the pipe close to where we thought the plug started. Than snaked it out until the plug popped. And let it drain and drain. SO GROSS !!! Than snaked both sides and fixed up the pipe. Than ran draino and hot water down pipes feeling to make sure that got hot the whole way through. We think we…

Truly 

Remember that Tom Hanks movie called The Money Pit ? Not quite our house but it does at times feel like we are in our very own comedy. This week the sink stopped draining completely. Turns out the previous owners just dumped all their grease down the drain for 20+ years and we had 30 feet of 2 inch pipe filled with it…

I’d kinda like to see it continue myself as I liked the political round up 

These are not the type of folks who do their own home & property maintenance. They pay people to do those sort of things so I’m actually not surprised they are this clueless. 

Ah. TY I missed that and was confused 

Am I missing something ? This is written in the present tense BUT as far as I’ve read SOPHIE died on Thursday in Greece 

No worries ... I usually check the post again on Sundays as I’m always falling asleep as everyone seems to be starting to really comment. And yes tons of great advice thankfully. My mom was an emotional eater who suffered from terrible arthritis partly due to the weight. So coupled with that and knowing with my…

I actually used cans of beans today to do a new workout this morning lol before I saw your reply. And yes absolutely on the importance of cardio but also less caloric intake. The biggest problem I’ve had the past year is the mindless eating. In the past my walks and regular outdoor activities had kept my weight more…

I think this is the best advice yet

Glad I’m not the only one but I definitely feel like I’m getting more out of my work out once I know the actual moves

Why does weight do that ? LOL Mine went to the same spots and also my boobs. I feel very rotund and eggish with thin legs & arms 

TY. It’s hard to remember that sometimes but you are definitely right. Plus I figure no one is watching other than the tiny human so at least she sees me trying and we both get a good laugh about it. 

TY. My specialist out of NY from an extremely well known institution was all like now I can’t legally prescribe you weed BUT I truly believe in it’s beneficial properties on different levels such as reduction of inflammation and replacement of pharmaceuticals.

It absolutely does. Truly. I walk every day as I am terrible at meditation BUT walking daily brings me this sort of zen. I’ve done it for many years even when I was at my sickest and weakest from my Crohns as it literally makes my whole being feel aligned almost. I’ve also taken the tiny human along on daily walks and…

I guess there is a bright side. I too am terribly scared of Covid. We are very fortunate to live in a suburban area that is quiet enough that on walks IF we see people, we just cross the street in advance to keep our distance. But other than walks we stay home all the time. We do a weekly small supermarket run and…

Yeah the weed doesn’t help at all. I have Crohn’s and smoking has replaced several medications that I used to have to take. It’s been a game changer for me on a lot levels with that. Luckily I never really was terrible about eating mass quantities stoned but lately my emotions combined with being home all of the time…

Awesome !!! Bit by bit, right ?!? I have no upper body strength myself either. The exercises routines I’ve been doing are like 10-11 minutes each and just challenging enough that I’m actually starting to feel sore in certain spots. They are also intro ones that I just keep doing over and over until I don’t have watch…
