Fresh chopped Cilantro is the main ingredient in my Pico de gallo which generally accompanies the guacamole and oftentimes liberally tops the salad. I used to leave the pits in the salad until I realized those pits sometimes were mistakenly taken out for eating, although I never did see any one actually eating one.
125.2 (lowest in a while--probably because I pooped 4 times yesterday!)
So here's a post from me that's not related to TT's irregularities. :)
Super Bowl Day! We've decided to stay home and watch it in bed (since that's the only place we have to sit and watch TV up here in our READ (Remodeling Emergency Attic Domicile).
I'm a Chiefs fan, although the Eagles would probably be my #2 NFL team to root for (I enjoyed the Eagles-Commanders game a lot). I bet that for many viewers tonight's game will be exciting and emotional.
I especially hope there isn't any crazy-guy-with-a-weapon in NOLA tonight, after that awful pickup truck attack on Bourbon Street in January.
This will be another busy week for both remodeling and relocation reasons. Good news is I DID join the nearby gym and have enrolled next Tuesday morning for a yoga class and a free fitness consult from one of the trainers there. I'm not going to hire a trainer, but mearly want to learn what machines they have and would recommend for my goals. Also I think they have one of those gizmos you stand on and find out what your muscle/fat/etc. proportions are. Better than just a weight scale. I am confident I've lost muscle density these last two years since I last did a test like that. I'll report what I find out.
Here's hoping everyone is doing well. I like hearing what's happening--good or bad. DD, I especially hope that your head cold fades fast in Florida's lovely weather.

Liz your daughter had such a fabulous head of hair, watching it be shaved off must have been very sad.
CC, sorry your Dad is struggling so much. How long does it typically take him to recover and return to his normal self?
Ann thanks for heading the charge to try to figure out what is happening with TT.
Yesterday I woke up thinking I have a cold. So much for my super immunities. I tried ignoring it, but yep, a head cold. Doesn't have me down for the count just that sort of spacy feeling when your head is full of snot. I think it's good timing though. I can rest today, and I should be better by Friday, when I'm getting on the plane. Much better than being sick on vacation.
Yesterday I did have enough energy to go through my remaining small clothes bin. It is now empty. Some back in rotation, some going to the thrift store. A few things were left from my very lowest weight. I don't think I will ever be that small again, and I'm okay with that. Its very liberating and peaceful at the same time.
Interesting! I hadn't until now, but you're right, we were both about the same age at the onset, and we both responded well to medication.

I had the same! I wonder if Facebook did one of their blanket setting changes and Diane needs to flip a switch back?
NOPE! My TESTING post was declined and is now "PENDING".
FB now says: "To help keep this group safe, admins review some posts before they're visible to others. You'll be notified when your post is published in the group."

Apparently, I can make a post on TT, but can't comment on my own post. Can someone else see if they can comment on my TESTING post over there?

Really glad to hear from you, CC. I've been worried about y'all, too. I wish your dad were rallying better emotionally--for him and all of you. I imagine he wouldn't respond well to a suggestion that he take an antidepressant of any kind.
Like Liz, I'm glad you're getting out for some sunshine and hiking.
Regarding TT connectivity, I seem to be shut out of posting there, too. Something's gone haywire. I've tried 3-4 times just now to post over there and got strange messages including these:
1) an admin or moderator has to approve some messages in this group
2) "Send the following on WhatsApp. This site is trying to open another application. Allow/Disallow"
I've NEVER seen anything like this on any FB group I've ever joined.
Diane O, can you confirm that you're still the admin/moderator for TT?

Great idea to get out for a hike in those beautiful surroundings and clear your mind!

I think it's safe to believe that anything "personal" anyone wants to mention here will be received with love and support. If nothing else, it's context for everyone's appreciation for what's going on with us--individually or together. After all, what one person mactions they're going through (that no one else has mentioned before) can invite others who might like to talk about the same issue(s) they're experiencing or that a loved one is experiencing.
