I use Samsung galaxy tablets. 8.7" and I have 10" and 12". I have an older Fire 10" with a cracked screen.. I need to see if I can replace the screen.

They start slowing down app after 2-3 years. I have the old ones - probably 3-4 of them. I need to do inventory and see if I can do something with them. maybe donate ... not sure...

Hope you enjoy your kindle. I was convinced for years I'd hate them but...nope. And it has a great battery, comparatively. Mine is only for reading, though.

Good afternoon weekend menuers!

Sorry your hubs has to work. Sounds like a fun time with the movie, though! I should check out the theater in town here. I bet it's popular!

QOTD- I didn't eat salad dressing until a couple of months ago. Now I try it on the side. Will also cut my salad.

So I got up this morning and went to Walmart at 6 to do some shopping. Mostly fresh ingredients for some food prep today and tomorrow. Thinking....chicken enchilada casserole, ketoish clam chowder, broiled shrimp scampi, and a turkey/cottage cheese/spinach bake. Slightly subject to change and all with more bariatric-friendly tweaks. I really, really want to make another pot of delicious stock. I also have a personal watermelon that I intend to attack this afternoon. Cold, juicy fruit!

Managed to score a massage today, and glad for it. We tried deep tissue today and it turns out I can handle a good bit of pressure. The poor lady is also like, five foot two and has to do some creative levering when I asked her to try. It released so much tension in my neck and shoulders.

Going to try to do outside stuff in the gloaming this evening. Right now is town stuff and tractor supply. Might get my hair cut.

Oh, I have a question for you all. I noticed in the hotel while blow drying my hair that it's growing in completely differently. The extra grey and bit of curl I'd noticed, but it's legit a whole different color the couple of inches close to my scalp. Anyone had color change all at once? I haven't dyed my hair since 2015, so it shouldn't be related at all. Just...weird.

Exercise - Going to aim for at least a few minutes a day of treadmill or elliptical to keep things moving. Arms and legs are sore and I feel okay.

Menu - Phad king, crab, dinner unplanned until I cook. Already ate a chocolate I brought home from Laura's in NO. Cheers everyone!

I used to be a hair stylist. I have observed color and texture changes in hair after surgery. It has to do with the stress of the surgery, chemical changes from anesthesia, and overall difference in the way your body gets and uses nutrients. I used to see a lot more years ago when women were given anesthesia for childbirth.

Back when permanents were the thing, I would sometimes see a person whose permed hair went back to completely straight after anesthesia. Your body considers hair an optional decoration and will send nutrition to more vital parts of the body first. Growing new color and texture is probably an indication that you are getting enough vitamins and nutrition so that your body can spare some for your hair.

Well that's interesting, thank you! I'd wondered if it might be a trauma response from everything that's been going on this year. Since the new color is a couple inches long that aligns if it's the case. Guess the color my body felt like feeding is gray!
