I think you did it! I thought I had more posts than that, though. But oh well. No biggie. Just glad to be back! Thanks John!

Oops. Posting at the same time. I sure can do that!

Ugh. I figured that might have been the problem. I remember the one I used, but it is no longer valid. Can you help if I give it to you? Or will we just have to start over?

I think I messed up by creating a new account this morning. I may have used an old no longer valid email address years ago when I first signed up and never bothered changing it. Not sure what to do at this point.

Oops! It obviously did not work. :-(

I tried signing in with my old name, but it said it was already being used by another user and that I had to make a new one. So I did just so I could post this, but I really want my old account back. :-(

Ok. Thanks. I don't have TV. Hopefully it will come to Netflix or Hulu or Amazon soon. It sounds like something I would enjoy.

Where are you watching this? On regular TV?

In my "circles," the meaning of that is always to do with the fact that we are all capable of the very worst sins were it not for God's grace. We would say something like, "But for the grace of God, I could have committed that same act (killed someone, been a drug addict, committed suicide, been a thief, etc.). "The story that is widely circulated is that the phrase was first spoken by the English evangelical preacher and martyr, John Bradford (circa 1510–1555). He is said to have uttered the variant of the expression - "There but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford", when seeing criminals being led to the scaffold."

I'm not so sure about Donna Summer's Bad Girls (listed by a pp). It is about prostitutes, after all. :-)

Stronger by Kelly Clarkson Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar

Until recently, I thought it was the name of a dance. :lol:

I did a lot of reading under a blanky on the couch yesterday and got a total of 842 steps for the day. :thumbdown:

Before I got mine, I did tons of "research" and everything I read said that the ones you wear on your trunk are the most accurate. I have a fitbit one with a little rubber case that I clip onto the center of my bra. I have worn it clipped to the inside of my jeans pocket or waistband before, but I like the bra best because I can just leave it there even if I change clothes.

Yep, I talk to my mom every morning and can often get in 3000 that way. In good weather, I go out and walk up and down the dirt road in front of my house. In bad weather, I walk back and forth in the house (small house means lots of back and forth, lol).

I'd say get whatever you want just because you want it. I told DH before we got married to never, ever buy me any gifts or try to surprise me. I hate that stuff. We don't get each other gifts. And honestly, I forget our anniversary more often than DH.

We don't have a mortgage, but we do everything else this way. We use an Amazon Visa and use the points for a statement credit, as you end up getting more out of them that way. If you use your points for an Amazon purchase, you do not accrue any points for that purchase. But yeah. We just pay it off every month.

Thanks, guys! I did indeed have a wonderful day, as the weather was a very unseasonable 82 degrees and beautiful so I was able to go for a walk and sit on my porch and read. Nothing better! :thumbup1:

That's a big thing around here in the last couple years. All the vets are pushing pet dental care and trying to sell dental insurance for them and such. Crazy.

I named both of mine. DH didn't care, and I never even thought to ask anybody else and they didn't think to suggest anything.

And for future reference, if you have nothing against sugar free gum, I had my girls chew that after eating from the time they were old enough. We never had insurance and couldn't really afford to go to the dentist until they were 10 and 14. Neither one of them had a single cavity. I did tell them to brush their teeth, but you never can be sure how well they are doing it (or if) unless you stand right over them. The gum cleans out places that brushing doesn't even get to.

Pork chops, green beans, maybe biscuits for the bread eaters. I feel like I need something else, but they probably wouldn't eat it anyway.

I think there are many different "styles." Some keep diaries. Some consult family and friends to fill in what they aren't sure of. Others just use what they remember and make a story of it. All of those things can be incorporated. The authors will often put a note in the book somewhere telling how they put the memoir together, and sometimes admit that some of it is filled in. I love memoirs.

Meatloaf (with peppers - so kinda inside out stuffed peppers, lol), baked potatoes, corn, and cucumber slices.

I've only read it and never was quite sure what it meant. Guess I learned something new. Again. :-)
