Post those workouts here !
Oh my heavens, I did the first day of 21 day fix. Wow and double Wow . I finally had to follow the girl doing the modifications . Tough very tough but went fast as it is only 30 minutes. Each exercises one minute plus a 20 second rest in between . This 30 minutes includes the warm up and cool down. I AM GLISTENING for sure BBL
Up Date : The whole workout is on you tube not the actual but video of someone doing it . There is a meal plan with this but I am not going to follow it.
She suggests having a protein drink right after so that is what I am doing . Of course they sale their own. I picked up a couple packages of Eas lean 15 at Target . I use to use this a long time ago .
Good Morning Sisters,
Well we had a fabulous weekend!!Lots of bagpipes, kilts and heavy events too. I watched the women's heavy events and 4 of the 5 were just doing it for the first time. I may think about that as a goal. It is throwing rocks and swinging weights for height and distance. I did get some exercise in on the weekend. I did yoga flex one morning and I did a couple of 30 minute walks as well.
Great job this morning Bama and on the weekend too! Sounds like a great trip for you! I like the workouts that are 30 minutes, you will have to keep up a commentary for us on that one.
Great job with your training Mo! That is a good weight loss for your DH. Great job on the pushups too! I still don't do more than 10 at a time then I pause and try for more.
Sue I see you haven't been on for a bit. I hope all is well. We are thinking about you.
15 minute walk today at lunch. It is very humid here but I didn't get rained on.
Hey, Sweat Sisters,
Looks like everyone is starting off the week well!
I'll have to look that up, Bama--sounds like a good one, and I'm looking for something new for August.
Glad you had a great weekend, Chris!
You're starting to worry us, Sue! Where are you?
Today we did a JJ Virgin 4X4 burst workout. It was a good workout, but at only 15 min., doesn't seem like enough. She says it is--just do it 3x/week, but I think that might be more for beginning exercisers. It's just 4 exercises (step ups, bent over rows, push up,s and a core move called leg chasers, kind of like bicycles) done 30 sec. each, 3 times through, then the step ups again and a quick stretch.
Happy Monday, all!
Hi ladies,
First thing that comes to mind is Maryann and Dugan LOL and the next one up too!
Yeah me too and not for just CS but the whole world and what it's turned into!
How sad is this!
As for the MIA, was not in a good place and am still dealing with some stuff. I just kept breaking out into tears and too much going on in my mind and a LOT Of anger.
As for the movie Wednesday night it was great but it was with Kevin Costner not Jason Stratham, we watch a lot of Jason's movies so apparently I just Gestalted to him with the actor part.
I didn't get my evening workout in, was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. Had some very very bad dreams...Chuck at the center of them, so bad woke me up and Buddy looked at me and I said to him, "wow where did that come from". Made a pit stop and then went back out again and still had some weird ones but this time without Chuck in them.
We had a tiff on Thursday morning, another little stupid thing but with how I was already feeling and his not feeling great with his allergies and back, well didn't say anymore than I had to, to him. If only I had a place to go to I would. I just want to be freaking alone to think, cry.....whatever....as I said was not in a good place.
We did cook up some angel hair, cleaned up and then I asked him about dinner. To which he said he didn't know and then about 5 minutes later said how about an egg sandwich and some fries. So did he get up for the eggs. Nope just kept on what he was doing and I got up and I was NOT happy so slammed things around. Then noticed the pot we used, I thought looked funky but he said no, so I rinsed it and in the eggs went. He finally got his freaking butt up and checked them a couple of times. While I was making all the phone calls again, two of which were things he wanted to know...his doctor office of course, and leaving a message, of course, for Amy (no one ever answers a phone there, they live by voice mail).
Then I did all the other stuff he "added to my list" last night in addition to the stuff I had on it.
Got some computer housecleaning done along with a lot of moving around of files and new folders, etc.
Plus got my mail cleared. All "no contact" kind of stuff. Other than emailing Winco about carrying Birds Eye frozen asparagus products. Sorry to those who emailed I didn't get back to quickly like I normally do.
Late afternoon made up a file for "all MP3 files for our music" and took 45s (we got done still have a lot to do), vinyl albums and regular albums, plus any downloaded stuff and put it in that one file so we can remix it all and then make up CDs so far we have 2,043 individual MP3 files for our remix with a LOT more to come. Since we have to finish the 45s and then all of our cassettes (140 of them to record and put the individual songs into the all mix file). We will have more singles than most radio shows have today. Works for me.
Had a nice night of TV with the singing Buffy episode, a Nikita and then an episode of Jag. Got my workout in, told Chuck I was done and then I went to sleep, I was tired, had to take an allergy pill. Driving me crazy and so has Chuck and Buddy Max. I see having to order some more allergy pills as we will be opening the second bottle already.
Slept most of the night just a couple of pit stops and wake ups.
Friday was tired, my eyes were terrible from all the crying and Chuck even asked why my face was so flushed. Who knows, probably all the cold water I put on it yesterday and then dried it and didn't bother with cream. Why waste it when I must have done it at least 7 or 8 times yesterday.
At least my BP was nice and low. I got the vacuuming done, and then my workout with Mari, and then I did a bunch of the stuff on my "to do" list also, and then finished the all MP3 list with all of our CD collection of various artists, which is how we got to 2,043 and 11.6 Gigabytes.
Then I did some shredding, with the machine of course giving us fits so had to take time to fix it and then finished the shredding. Chuck took it out to dump it as our AQ today is terrible 106 and it's only going to get worse as today we are headed to 106 and then go up a degree each day, so we are headed to the 108, and 109 for sure. Not looking forward to that, plus our weather guy says humidity is coming back too.
Had a nice Friday night, with our angel hair pasta for dinner (mine with clams....so yummy) and a very thin and small slice of Italian bread. We love the angel hair pasta as we got 9 meals out of the box, I got 4 and Chuck is taking less himself now and instead of his normal 4 he got 5. So next time, we can probably get 5 a piece, cause even the ones he had were more than I take and a little off the top of each would have made more than enough for a meal for me.
With had a great evening with JB Fletcher and Thomas Magnum too.
I did better Friday, didn't feel as sad and cry that much. Unfortunately Friday night was not good as Buddy's #1 checker (we check each time he goes with a tissue) came back stained, no blood but a much darker yellow urine. So it looks like he might be getting some more stones, but we don't know.
It's just NOT knowing if it's stones, and maybe kidney or liver with the darker urine, which could mean kidney/liver damage, which means a call we don't want to make. Chuck said to me, stop crying, it's been a whole year now and let's just hope with some extra Tinkle Tonic we will order on Saturday, we can combat it ahead of time. So he put my chin up and I am so trying, but it just reinforced in my mind my sadness to start the week that something was going to happen.
Crying now too as I type. I did get some pics of Buddy, Saturday while he was laying in the living room while Chuck checked disks. AS soon as he saw me with the camera, his tail starting thumping....he's such a camera hog.
I kept busy today too, but my energy levels aren't what they used to be and sad to say "cleaning isn't doing for me what it used to either"....now I just want it to be done.
At least it is, the house is dusted which was done before breakfast, we have to wait a lot on Saturday's....30 minutes after I take my bone meds and then I can take my thyroid and then I have to wait 30 minutes before I can even eat. So I brought up computers Saturday. and we did our normal morning checks before breakfast. Realized while I doing the checks, that I had to put the towels in Ethel, which I got up and did.
After we ate I started on our bathroom in the bedroom and since it was a top to bottom weekend....got that one done, took a lot longer than it should have.
Then I started on #2, Chuck did the kitchen stuff, took Buddy out and shaved....yeah I know, at least he is very conscientious and cleans up beautifully, but I am NOT waiting around, doing nothing while he and Buddy are in the man cave!
Number 2 took longer as it's the main bathroom with those stupid shower doors, so I had to get inside the tub and do the walls and shower doors inside and all that stuff.
Before I started the sink area, I gulped down my OJ and went back in to get it all done. I got my bucket ready and washed both floors. Ethel buzzed....so I folded the towels (I do the bigger ones, bath and hair) so I can get them away first and then Chuck comes over to help......plus he cleaned the lint screen.
The floors were dry, I put the bathrooms back together and got my rags into Lucy. I noticed how cute Buddy Max was lying in the living room and got my camera and took my pics of Buddy Max.
Also had a thought last night, of course, after I spent time copying the pics and the text for how to do a workout I saw, in fact, 2 of them. I have been so engrossed in the car mags I forgot to do my Fitness and Self mags, so I opened them all up Saturday morning before breakfast and got both of the workouts now from the magazines. Since we can't print anything out till we get a printer.
Well after lunch we got our answer as Chuck took Buddy out to do "his stuff" and the urine was dark and we also got a clot...I know it's not good, but to us it means more Tinkle Tonic which is what we have been doing, so we are very relieved to have gotten a clot and we expect more but at least it's something that we have a solution for. So while not out of the woods, we are both breathing easier.
We hadn't any ideas for dinner and I thought of an orzo and cheese burrito as we haven't had one in quite some time and Chuck said "good idea" as I didn't want eggs with just finishing the frittata and 4 meals of it, nor a cheese sandwich since we had one before we went out shopping (we always try for something light before we go out).
Chuck also said "a scoop of Speedy tracks" since Buddy has a spot and Buddy heard Speedy tracks ice cream and wagged his tail and shook his head, so Speedy tracks it was for Saturday night and since I was still vacillating about Saturday's CSBM network choices....Chuck said a night of Smallville would be appropriate and so Smallville it was.
Had a good evening and as I usually do on Saturday night I roll over and go to sleep before the boys come out. I had to take an allergy pill about 9:30 and I had been yawny so thought it would easy for me to drop off. I was wrong, so it took a bit. However, I hate noise and light, so I turned to the TV to #5 (the fan and the a/c were on, so plenty of background noise and on my eye mask went)....I was half awake/half asleep when they came in and I heard WOF and next I know a FREAKING SCREAM IS WAKING ME UP....the TV was blaring so I said "WHAT THE *&^%%%!" and grabbed my glass of water and nothing I don't hear a "sorry it was too loud and I woke you up" doesn't say a word and keeps on watching it at the same volume. So I got up and slammed the bathroom door, went to the bathroom and took a faux Nuprin, cause by this time and having laid there a bit waiting to calm down, waiting for HIM to say anything and he didn't I was so boiling mad I was afraid I was going to HIT him for the first time in 39 years.
I tried to sleep and finally gave up and went outside to my chair and tried to get comfortable. I finally gave up as he finally turned the TV off and the lights too. So I figured I was NOT going to be uncomfortable and up all night. I took deep breaths and while he was in the bathroom I slide into bed and got my stuff adjusted and lay their taking calming breaths and finally went out.
So a bit tired for my "me day" and have not been talkative to him at all, other than what is necessary. I even did my own back today after shower. He did have the audacity to ask me why I didn't ask him to come do it. I curtly said I did it myself. He was smart enough not to ask me to do his either.
Hey petty I know but I am still "waiting" for him to say "something" and I can go like this for ages. As I have plenty to do without having to do it with him.
My concerns now are for Buddy Max and he can go to H@ll!
Other than that I had a nice me day, did some pic stuff and played my games.
Sorry about being so MIA but as you can see was NOT in a good place. Sorry about the all the baloney here, but needed to get it off my chest to someone. So if it bothers you just ignore me! I know I would like to ignore me sometimes LOL
We watched our Green Lantern movie we got with our FREE points and it was great. We had seen it a couple of years back and we enjoyed it then. But forgot how good it was....sometimes it's that second time around and now that it's ours we can add it to our action Sci-Fi kind of movies.
I was tired Sunday night, in addition had to take an allergy pill, so a double whammy and I went out like a light. Chuck said he HAD to put the TV Sunday night (I put it down to zero when I laid down to go to sleep....as a HINT). He said he had to put it up cause I was snoring so loud.
We did finally talk on Monday and he said it wasn't that high on Saturday so that's why he didn't say anything. I told him I heard a scream and that's why I woke up with the "air being blue" he said it wasn't loud, and I didn't hear anything like that so that's why he didn't apologize.
Whatever, we hashed it out and it's over and done with and things are back to normal. Well as normal as they will ever be with two "nut jobs" like us!
Buddy is holding steady but I think all of us are on pins and needles.
I got my workout in Monday morning, did my pills as I needed more. My BP numbers were awesome this a.m., so was happy with that. Plus I called CVS and Chuck's med are there and for 90 days and a year script. So we can pick those up on Thursday when we go with Terri to Winco to shop.
Then I did some forms up I had to send out, and some other checks I needed to do on line. Also got the senior food receipt we got from Winco so we can get our money back and buy the other Purina one for older dogs. Chuck showed me how to randomize the music in Bulk renamer and we went over all the music as he had a different number than I did. We found the discrepancies.
Did our comics and crackers and I did send a message to all my emails I got that I didn't answer....sorry. Just didn't check personal email, as I said not in a good place.
We had a nice Monday dinner and TV fare of Lois & Clark, Scarecrow and Mrs. King and an episode of Happy Days. Finished up later than usual. I did my workout and the boys hit the "man cave", we watched Jeopardy and we were all up still at 2 a.m. and Buddy told us he had to go, so Chuck took him out and I made a pit stop and got us some ice in our water. Then we all tried again. I had taken an allergy pill earlier tonight close to 7:30 p.m., I just couldn't wait till the 9:30 p.m., I usually would take it. Well I had to take another at 2 a.m., as I started scratching again. Then about 30 minutes later I got up and got a wash cloth and a towel and wiped off. That helped, so I lay down and tried again. Finally gave up at 3 a.m. and came in and got on line.
Hence the early a.m. post for me, after which I am off to play some games till I get tired and can lay down for a couple of hours I hope.
Wishing you all a great day, with post catch up later, and I thank all of you for thinking of me,
Probably why she wants to vacuum, why I do sometimes LOL
Or a knife, I loved those pops and shared plenty of them and others shared with me too.
I am with you Andy, minus the money part
Nothing like it, did the same with my grandpa and myself when I went to the beach. Still listening today as our oldies station here is playing our Grizzlies games!
Ahhh Sue, glad you are back and somewhat feeling better. You need to place to go by yourself for a while Me thinks . I know If I don't get out on my Saturday by myself I am a Bear . Hugs. I wish we were closer I would come over and get you out of the house for a while .
I did the second day of 21 day fix. Upper fix it is called. It has two rounds in it each being the same moves. Each lift is 60 seconds with a 15 second rest . The only lift I had trouble with was the plank for 60 seconds . She finally said if you are having trouble drop down to your knees to finish which I did. Lets see she does a couple of ab moves in it . Scissors abs and circle abs which both I haven't done for a while. 60 seconds is a lot longer than it sounds!! .
After that I had a short 8 oz protein drink with water and continue over to the Treadmill for 40 minutes. So a good start for August . ( I know it's still July)
Now I need that shower and to relax for a while. yard work today.
Good Morning Gals,
Last night I pulled out Shaun T and got busy with Ab Sculpt. It is a lot of fun, although if I had remembered it had floor work in it I would have picked a different one. I did manage the whole 25 minutes.
Sounds like you had a great workout yesterday Mo!
Sue, welcome back! here are some hugs and we will keep you all in our prayers.
Great workout this morning Bama! I couldn't do a 60 sec plank either.
Hi, Sweat Sisters,
Baron Baptiste Power Yoga, Level One, for us today.
Glad to see Sue is back!
Will catch up later, need to get lunch for DA and DH.
Have a great day, everyone!
Hi Sisters,
On tap for today (I hope....if I don't collapse by later tonight LOL)....
Evening workout is (Men's Mag Abdominal weight workout....Pull Ins, obliques, stiff legged reaches, side bends, opposite extensions, power crunches, and straddle crunches)
Hi sisters time for me to catch up with you lovely ladies,
Molasses, I was much younger was Bewitched came on and so wanted to have her powers. I practiced that twitch LOL
I see you had some great workouts. Sorry about the humidity but that's what I always said, hey you live on the east coast and you have humidity some areas more than other. When we moved to Long Island and I'd hear people complain, I'd say what did you expect, you are surrounded by water GRRRR
Chris, glad to hear you were doing a bit better and good enough to get some gardening done. Unfortunately I have always been a snorer, I know, not very lady like and worse yet I talk in my sleep too and it used to drive my mother nuts that she couldn't figure out what I said, except the one time on my grandma's couch (we slept over) I did the whole moon landing and count down to everyone's amusement. They woke me up when I was done by all clapping and yelling...I didn't find it a bit funny at all at the time, now I do LOL
No unfortunately I didn't get my workout in the night of our shopping trip, I was way too tired.
Oh I will be able to get the fish at Winco for half the price, Molasses, so that will be fine and I have enough of the Quick Dry since I combined my bottles of it. Plus we saw the gal that stocks there and she said they were getting another load in, in a couple of weeks so hoping next time we go it will be filled up.
Sorry about the headache and not much sleep on Wednesday but glad you were able to get X Stretch in on Thursday.
Oh Chris I am with you a love Highland Game too and the bagpipes and Celtic music.
Glad you felt better on Friday, Molasses, along with a good night's sleep. Wish I could get one of those....uninterrupted.
I see a great workout too on Friday for you.
Bama, glad you had such a nice time in Mississippi and yeah when we lived in Lousy LV and went out for a casino night we only played the nickel slots and got our FREE drinks and did tip the waitresses. Like yourself, stopped before we lost a lot. We brought $5 to $10 and when it was gone, so were we.
Nope Bama, a lot of those moves I could not do at all, but thanks for sharing it, as some there I could do.
Well Molasses, your hubby's words and his body....you should have taken a before and after so you had it for your portfolio....or did you.
Remember Molasses, the muscles weigh more so you will got up but I loved the well defined arms, legs and "very flat tummy"....I always had a small waist (thanks to my mom's jeans) LOL
I see Bama, reminded you about the muscle weighing more too. Good luck with the Slim in Six and good luck with the towel rack. You might try Amazon as they seem to have everything.
Bama, thanks for missing me, sorry but wouldn't have been very good company. Nice walk on the treadmill on Sunday.
Wow Bama, your new 21 day fix workout sounds like a good one and glistening is good.
Oh Chris, I wish I had been with you, as I love the bagpipes and kilts too. Had a hand made kilt done by my grandmother. Oh the events sounded so awesome. Wish I was there. Great workouts for you over the weekend too I see.
Thanks for thinking of me, yes, lots going on and not in a happy mood so didn't want to depress anyone else.
Great walk today Chris, and our humidity is up here too, well for us LOL
I am with you Molasses, the JJ Virgin doesn't seem like enough to be either. Maybe for a second workout for the day but not one of the whole day.
Oh Bama thanks so much, I wish we were closer so we could get out together, I would love that. Thanks for the hugs. Wow this 21 day fix sounds like one hard workout, could of done it back in the day, but not now. Yeah I have a hard time with planks too, Bama. So I have to go to my knees. Yeah Suzanne Bowen has the scissor abs and circle abs and a couple of Mari's other workouts have them too.
Chris, I see you and Shaun T are working together on those abs....I have one of those coming up for next month in the mix, if memory serves me as it was the middle of the night when I was working on it LOL Great workout for you. Thanks for the prayers and HUGS.
Molasses, great workout, thanks it's good to be back. Hope your DA is doing better and congrats again on making your hubby even more buff than he was.
Well I was a real good sister while MIA and got my workouts in....kept my mind on other things and really concentrating.
Well off to lunch as we were both lazy today and plus it took a while to do up our grocery list for Thursday as it's a BIG shopping day.
Wishing you all the best, and thanks for caring....it means the world to me....
Hey Gals,
Nothing for me last night! I will have to do better today.
Wow and Double Wow . Day 3 of 21 Day Fix. Lower fix is it called and it is lower . Squats, lunges, leg lifts in all different ways. I made it !! Thank goodness it is only a half hour . After that the Dreadmill for 45 minutes.
Tomorrow is Pilates . That I am looking forward to I think. Who knows what she had in store for us. In the 21 Day fix she had one using a band which she says gets the same effect as the weights. I am using 5 and 8 # weights but the band looks interesting also.
That's all Folks.
Sue, we only play the penny machines but of course you play much more than a penny. And on the workouts . I like to look at different ones and I agree many moves I cannot do (after all I am no long a spring chick) but I always pick up some information or maybe a different way to do a move than I do. So every workout gives me something. You tube has so many freebies on it.
Afternoon sisters,
Kind of late today since I got all my good dusting done, end of the month and all that. Even got the computer room done as Chuck said there off, why not just do them this morning, this way you won't have to do them after dinner and rush around like you do. So he went outside and checked our Mary Tyler Moore show DVDs and I got the computer room done first, then moved on to the living room, dining room and finally the bedroom. So all done. Just have to do a good vacuum on Friday and the sliding glass doors.
As for workouts, I was way too tired to do my evening workout, so hanging head in shame....hit me with a wet noodle.
As for today Mari Winsor's 20 minute Pilates workout and evening workout - Men's Mag weight workout (calves, triceps, shoulders, back, tights, abs, forearms, chest)
Chris, so we both didn't do any workouts, at least I am in good company. You are a busy lady and have kids and all to take care, I am amazed at all you get done. So count all that stuff as a workout.
Bama, I second that Wow and Double Wow for you. Curious to hear about the Pilates too. She's right on the band, as I am limited to 3's and 5's for regular weights but band work is fine according to all my doctors and if you adjust them shorter, you can get ONE awesome muscle workout. Different colors have more strength. I'd have to look at my package again to see which is which.
The only place that still had penny machines in Lousy LV was downtown and it's name eludes me now. I do the same on the workouts. In fact just recently saw a workout with 3 or 4 moves that looked good so I pulled them out just for those.
Me too no longer a spring chick and my illnesses have really limited me. I agree every workout does help us. Oh I know as we look at a lot of food stuff on YouTube and I have looked at workouts there before.
Molasses, I hope all is well with you and things at your house.
Well I am off to my mail, other boards before it's time for lunch.
T25 Ab Intervals today with Shaun T. It's a challenging workout, very good. But it was a very bad day here today.
I slept a bit between 3:30 and 6:30 a.m., but I don't think DA slept at all. She was up all night, walking around her room, calling for me, demanding I take her to her folks' house because they were waiting for her. Then this morning while I was working out, she fell. She has a terrible black eye and bruised knees. Later in the afternoon, she ended up on the floor again, and although that time she slid rather than falling hard, she said her ribs hurt. It's just so sad.
Hope everyone else had a better day, and I'll catch up tomorrow, I hope.
Oh Mo! It is a hard time with older family members. I used to work in a nursing home so I do know some of the challenges. Not getting your sleep is no help to anyone either! Great workout Mo! How do you like the T25? I enjoy Shaun T's energy.
Last night was a good night for us. We took the kids to the public library for a bit. It was nice to get out and about. Then after putting the kids to bed I pulled out another Hip Hop Abs disc and did Hips, Buns and Thighs. I needed that!
Bama a great workout for you yesterday!
Sue don't you even worry about the odd missed workout. Your body needs to adjust after all that stress. Remember I took all last week off.
Late getting here this morning. Trash day and we had a lot of recyclable to take out since we were gone last week plus yard trimmings .
Well I got the 4th Day of the 21 day Fix finished. It was Pilates and I thought yesterday that it would be a breeze! NOT!! She did some moves that Mari and Leslie do not. Then since it is cooler out I decided to take my walk outside . Enjoyed hearing the birds sing . So a total of 60 minutes for me this am.
I have T25 . I have most of the Beach body workouts. I just need to try them. Some of them are time consuming and with going back and forth can't work them in. 21 day Fix is also a Beach body. Oh Most of them have been gifts or bought at Garage sales. Couldn't afford to pay full price for them .
Well off to pretty myself up for the day.
Morning sisters,
On tap for today, lots of walking for shopping this a.m., and Evening workout is (Men's Mag Abdominal weight workout....Pull Ins, obliques, stiff legged reaches, side bends, opposite extensions, power crunches, and straddle crunches)
Great workout Molasses, and so sorry about the sleep (been there, done that as you know) and my heart goes out to your Daunt and you. So sorry to hear about the fail also. HUGS and my prayers to all of you.
Chris, great workout last night. Thanks and I know Chris, just so frustrating sometimes but yeah I do the time off thing myself, so I just have to think of it that way.
Bama, great workout and do tell what moves that Mari doesn't???? And your walk outside sound great.
Well off to mail and breakfast, putting my face on, getting dressed and all that fun stuff,
Baron Baptiste Power Yoga Level One again today.
I like Shaun T, too, Chris, and I like the length of the T25 workouts. They seem to skew to the cardio end of the spectrum, at least the ones I've done. I am sure they are quite effective for fat loss if you do them regularly! I'm not doing the program, just getting random disks from the library as they come in on my hold list. Thanks for the hugs, Chris. I was telling my DD today that I feel sorry for my DA because it must be so frustrating and frightening to think you have to get somewhere and not be able to get there. Unfortunately for my DA, where she wants to get is back in time about 40 years. So then I feel sorry for me, too, because I feel helpless as far as giving her what she wants. I want to fix things to make her happy, but I have to settle for buying her ice cream cones and potato chips.
Bama, I am totally envious of your workout library! I think you could do P90X, especially if you sub in the CardioX option for the Plyometrics.
Thank you for the prayers, Sue; goodness knows we need them! Hope your shopping went well today.
Molasses, great workout and I feel for both you and your DA, like Chris, I did volunteer work and worked with Alzheimer patients too. It's heartwrenching for the patient and the family. Plus as I said a while back the lady I worked with in the Dean's office at University, her husband's mother lived with them and they took care of her.
Well Rose Is A Rose was so appropriate had to post it!
I did get some sleep, not much but a couple of hours is better than nothing on my fiasco night of being up most of the night.
I skipped my vacuuming too, as was way too tired, so finalized my workouts while the boys were in the man cave.
Had lunch, checked mail and got some catch up done but still have a lot to catch up with you lovely ladies.
Then did my BP while we had OJ and it was nice and low. We did up our shopping list, as shopping tomorrow with Terri, with a stop at the Dollar Tree, hopefully, for glasses for Chuck and to see if they have the nail file/buffer, etc I got the last time. Chuck said pick up a couple and this way you will have them. So I am NOT going to argue.LOL
Then went did some catch up, unfortunately didn't get to my mail, like I thought I would. Just did "non thinking" kind of stuff and we were off for a early nap too.
Since I hadn't seen my man Hunter for a long time, I watched him and a Miami Vice and had a third show out, but we got started later, so watched a 1/2 hour show and I picked Fresh Prince...still as hysterical as it was years back and to think of him and Jadine and now a son who is acting too.
I did have a good night's sleep at least and actually woke up awake for the first time in a long time (probably helped by the allergy pill I had to take). Chuck set the alarm a bit later since he didn't sleep that well either.
However, even with the late start, I managed to get all my good dusting done, end of the month and all that. Even got the computer room done as Chuck said there off, why not just do them this morning, this way you won't have to do them after dinner and rush around like you do. So he went outside and checked our Mary Tyler Moore show DVDs and I got the computer room done first, then moved on to the living room, dining room and finally the bedroom. So all done. Just have to do a good vacuuming on Friday and the sliding glass doors. Though might put the doors off as Chuck said he's cut my hair on Friday, we shall see LOL
Saturday will be a light bathroom with having done the top to bottom last weekend, so can get the sliding glass doors done, plus wash the hallway walls.
So have my week pretty well planned shall see how those plans go LOL
Chuck skipped the movie that came in as they have all been coming in on his TV nights to pick. So it went to me for Thursday night. So he watched Pacific Blue and Lois and Clark and we got a Happy Days in too.
Well it was SHOPPING DAY....and I did call and left a message to remind Terri Wednesday but did tell her she didn't have to call me back. She was here early and I told her we'd be out and she said, I am early.
So off we went to CVS first to get the CORRECT MEDS FOR A 90 DAY SUPPLY for Chuck. He went in and I stayed in the car.
Then we were off to Winco, we took the Dollar Tree store off with having to go to CVS since that added about 15 minutes to our trip and if we hit the Dollar store too, it would have bumped up our amount way too much.
We did have a bag of the senior food left which Buddy won't EAT anymore, and so were returned it as we wanted to get the Purina One blend Chuck has seen on the Purina site. So had to get a grocery cart to get it inside. Luckily where Terri parks they have a cart return so we took the food and put it in there. Got inside the store and switched, I gave Chuck the list and then I went to Customer Service. The girl said I could leave the food in the cart and she would take care of it and to just come back when we checked out and we could do the switch since we told her we had to buy another bag of food.
Well that was our second shocker....his regular food that was normally $12.98 is was $9.98, so since we were planning on buying the Purina One which the last time we looked was $18.98 was now $23.00 so we ditched that idea and went with the 2 bags of regular food and will figure something else out. We were already done with the majority of shopping and tired. Were worried that if it went up 3 times it's bound to do so again.
As for the shopping we saved a good $10, which would have been $20 if we hadn't bought the second bag of dog food.
So we were happy campers with the savings for sure. We got some bags of fruits from Winco....whole strawberries and cherries for the pastries we want to try. I am going to make a blueberry cheesecake this weekend, I hope after my Saturday chores.
Lots of the stuff we bought was on sale, our sauces and OMG that changed my Super Chunky Super Chunky mushroom sauce so I am keeping my fingers crossed, new and improved...I will be the one to decide, Ragu. Boy cheese prices are going crazy, we did great with our shredded ones but the sliced cheese was ridiculous. My raspberry ice tea was still on sale. Also got my Johnsonville hot Italian sausage, it went up a buck but hey I get 5 sausages and I use them in all my dinners plus take a couple for my sub sandwiches I make up.
Only bad thing they didn't have my Mr. Clean anymore, so I was NOT happy about that. Will have to see if SaveMart has it but with their prices, I might just be going to using vinegar again and if that's the case, so be it.
Got all of our other staples too, long story short we made out like bandits as I said our total came out to $227.50 and Winco's was $212.31 and as I said we only had 1 bag of regular food on there, so take $9 off of that and it's a very good savings....WE ARE HAPPY CAMPERS!
Unfortunately a sad end to our trip as Terri pulled in the parking lot and as we were coming to our place for her to park, this car is backing up right where she's driving and she beeps her horn several time and he doesn't stop so right into her front end, well luckily she and he were going slow, but he did a number to her front end.
He said he didn't hear the horn, both Chuck and I did say inside afterwards we didn't think her horn was very loud and that she does drive a bit too quickly at times in parking lots. However, this was clearly this guy's fault and he owned up to it immediately and came back with his insurance information for Terri and Terri called, but was upset and I can't blame her. I said to her, I am so sorry but she said it's not your fault. I know but I felt so bad for her as she was really shook up. It was slow and the front passenger side so no one was hurt and that's what is important.
The guy really felt bad and said a number of times, he didn't hear the horn. We didn't say it to him, but wondered, well were you NOT looking in your rear view window when you backed up or turned around and looked. Whatever I just hope Terri gets her car fixed easily. But we all know her insurance company will probably raise her insurance.
Terri told Chuck to unload and she would call her insurance company, so he did and the guy even asked if he could help us. Chuck did have him left the dog bags to put on top as his back and legs were killing him and mine was too. Otherwise Chuck did the rest and I took the light bread bags, etc inside.
Buddy was barking up a storm inside as the guy said, boy that dog sounds upset and Chuck said he's ours and the guy said, oh happy to see you back home and we laughingly said yes!
So we are all unpacked, unloaded and put away, all cleaned up and changed and had lunch and I wrapped up my sausages and they are in our very jam packed freezer LOL
Oh and me and Snap, Crackle and Pop are together again with some blueberries to top them for my breakfast for a while LOL
Well we also decided the movie will wait and we will watch TV shows
tonight....decisions, decisions LOL
Hope you had a good day. I am off to call Terri to make sure she got home alright and then check my mail before comics and crackers time.
We are all tired and it is MEGA HOT here today, as it's humid, smoky from the fires and we are headed to 108 today.
Well My DH mowed the lawn last night so I got to trim and rake a bit. I did three loads of laundry and folded a bunch. All my laundry is sitting in the living room waiting to be packed. We are headed off for two weeks again. This time we are in Nova Scotia. Starting with a buskers festival and touristy stuff then on to visit my sister for a few days. So I will be awol for a bit. I should be back the 18th of August and plan to kick it in high gear then. Not sure what I will be doing for exercise but I have two weeks to plan. I am headed out early today to get school supplies with my sister.
Chris have a great visit . You will be missed for sure.
This morning was day 5 of 21 day fix. Cardio only . Oh wow, was it ever tough . I know tomorrow I will be much more sore than I already am. Those Burpees really killed me . I could not do a full 60 seconds of them. This one is 4 rounds of 2 moves each 60 seconds each and then you repeat which is one round. Some of the moves I thought were easy some NOT. No treadmill or walk outside today I think that 30 minutes was enough .
On tap for today....A walk to the office and back today plus Mari Winsor's 20 minute Pilates workout and evening workout - Men's Mag weight workout (calves, triceps, shoulders, back, tights, abs, forearms, chest)
Plus a good vacuuming of the house, which is a workout in and of itself LOL
Chris, I see you got a workout last night with the trimming and raking. Oh you will be missed and have a wonderful time in Novia Scotia. Chuck's grandmother was born and raised there and so was his mom till she went off to college in NYC.
I am sure with the visiting you will do a lot of walking and other things too, plus the boys will keep you busy too, I am sure. So you will get plenty of RL exercise in. Have a wonderful time.
Bama, you are doing wonderful with teh 21 day fix, kudos to you. I can't do the burpee's at all. Hope you aren't too sore tomorrow.
Well I am off to breakfast, vacuuming, a walk to the office, my workout with Mari and then I hope a haircut (looking at the time I am thinking next week, but hope for today....we shall see) plus cook my fish and the list goes on.
Here's my July report and my plans for August.....
July started off slowly with some days getting walks in and others not and then my doctor appointment fiasco but finally got the go ahead to work out again, so from July 7th on I was a much happier camper. Missed a morning due to no sleep the night before and another due to shopping but got lots of walking in instead. Unfortunately another sleepless night on the 14th so no workouts all day. Shopping on the 23rd so no normal morning workout just a LOT of walking and none for the evening due to exhaustion. Some extra walking in on Thursday the 31st with shopping and also got my evening workout in too, so finish to the month was a lot better than the beginning. Still on track with my chocolate for the month and with the PB, as I had PB for lunch for a number of days and some Sunday breakfasts too. My daily fruit was good along with my Vitamin D for the month.
Weigh ins for the month: My weigh in's are up due to the new medication (lots of bloating), trying to rectify this but just might have to live with it unfortunately.
Start date for August workouts will be August 4th MWF morning workout Weeks 1 & 2 Will do Fitness magazines Superset and MWF evening will do Don't Miss a Muscle; and T-Th WHM's Total body tightening; Weeks 3 & 4 MWF 10 Minute Solution Pilates Perfect Body(using band) with Suzanne Bowen and MWF evening Fitness Mag's Express workout (row your boat, hopscotch, surfer's paddle, tennis swing, paddleboard (this one might change after I try it, we shall see) and T-Th Self's The Turkish get-up
Links to workouts:
Superset workout
Don't Miss A Muscle
Fitness Mag's Express workout
Self Mag The Turkish Get Up -
Food goals: My food goals will remain the same continue to take my vitamin D, and keep up the increase in the fruits and veggies in my diet, and try some different type of veggies. Also continue to try out some different recipes, which has been going very well. Plus continue with the getting in chocolate several times a week (and continue to have peanut butter too). Also going to cut down on the ice cream and try making more fruit based desserts.
Here you go ladies, this will bring back a lot of childhood memories:
Supreme 90 Tabata Inferno this morning. Answered my question--yup, it's still a toughie.
Have a great Saturday, Sweat Sisters~
Great workout today Molasses, I have the RLW's today.
Good morning, and happy Sunday, Sweat Sisters,
Visited with an old friend of mine and Sue's this morning, Lara Hudson, doing her Rapid Results Pilates.
Have a wonderful day~
Morning and Happy Sunday Sisters,
My workout this morning was Yoga . It is the 7th day of the 21 day fix. I haven't done a lot of Yoga but I think it is something I may check into . That particular section of the DVD was messing up so I played it in another dvd player and it also messed up. So It was really hard to follow . I may look and see what else I have with Yoga and use another one instead.
Tomorrow we start over with the day one and then the 3rd week we do two workouts but each at a different time of the day. That will be a challenge for sure. You know how I am on afternoon workouts.
Sue I like the Turkish get Up. I'm printing that one for another time .
Have a pleasant "ME" day.
Well I am a happy camper as for the first time in many Sunday's I am down 1.5 pounds and not bloated and it's at one of my old regular weights. Now the trick is, is to keep it that way LOL
Molasses, I have to pull Lara out, maybe do her rather than Suzanne, we shall see. You have a great Sunday. I did some extra prayers last night for you and your DA.
Bama, glad you are liking the workout and yes I like yoga, lots of similarities to Pilates in some moves. Keep up the good work. I am with you the afternoon workouts are not easy. I did fine years back before I was involved in any kind of boards LOL and other things I do now.
Glad you like the Turkish Get Up, Bama. I am looking forward to that one too.
You too, Bama and Molasses, have a wonderful "me day"....
I couldn't figure out how to print The Turkish GetUp so I found this and printed it if anyone wants it.
Bama, I sent you an email with all the moves from the Self site and the 6 moves they show.
Well we were all zonked Thursday night for sure. I made it a Matlock, Jag night so it was a good one. Slept the sleep of the dead and was out before the boys even came in and watched Jeopardy. Friday morning was a busy day as I had the vacuuming to do while the boys were in the man cave, then I walked up to pay the rent and then I did my workout. I was going to make up my fish but opted for our stuffed rigatoni's instead from the freezer as with our temps the last thing I wanted was to put the oven on. We hit a high of 109 on Friday with a AQ in the 160s.
I still had to do up my monthly report and set up my plan for my workouts for August and got that all done. Didn't get to watch my videos though as also had mail and some calls to make too. Didn't get to do any catch up on my boards so hoping to do some Saturday after all my chores or if not will get it done on Sunday, I guess.
I was zonked by nap time, so had a good one of those too. Our dinner was yummy and we still didn't watch the movie from Netflix, as Chuck opted for Magnum and Jag both Bellasario shows! LOL
He was upset as I thought I had bought fudge brownie (he likes that one but I got mocha almond fudge instead) oh well.
Was awake when he and Buddy came in but not for long as I fell asleep while Jeopardy was on, too bad too as it was a great final and first time two contestants won the same amount so they had to have a "run off" question to decide it.
Only a couple of pit stops so that was good. Already HOT when we got up this a.m., we weren't even out of bed and the a/c came on. So I turned it off and opened up and brought the computers up too, since I have to wait so long on Saturday's with taking my bone meds and then waiting 1/2 half for my thyroid and then another 30 minutes before I can eat, drink or take anything else.
So I got my dusting in, the towels all ready and once Chuck finished washing up he brought out the rest. I got the clean ones up in the bathrooms and the kitchen and after breakfast cleaned the bathroom and did the end of the month washes, Buddy was NOT thrilled with getting his blanket washed.LOL
I then washed the kitchen/dining room area floors and the small floor by the front door. While they were drying I did the sliding glass doors. Wow HOT out and the AQ not good at all.
Plus as I was doing the living room window the kids across the street were working on their truck, starting it and opening the hood and all 3 of them (one of them a girl) all looking at it. Then turned it off and tried it again.
After I finished the door and headed for the sliding glass door in the bedroom, I told Chuck about it and said to him it sounds like their carburetor to me. He laughed. I finished the bedroom door and then opened all my snacks for today and took the bag out to the garbage. Since they were still there I walked over and told him to check his carb adjustments and he had his blank look. So I adjusted the carb. He did thank me and said I embarrassed a girl knows more than I do. I chuckled and said well I appreciate the girl moniker rather than "old lady" and since my husband and I raced and restored cars don't be. His mouth dropped and then asked about the racing and restorations. But I had to cut it short as the AQ even with my air was getting to me.
I finally got to my computer about 12:20 p.m. I didn't get my hallway walls done or my doors so will do those next week.
Did get my mail cleared out and answered plus looked at a friend's completed house she built and the inside now all done and furnished. Wow.....awesome, but that's what you can do when you have LOTS of money. It's gigantic and I wouldn't even want to contemplate all that cleaning, but I am sure she will have someone to do it for her as she's in her 70s now! I did leave her a message if she could use some roommates LOL
Well I did put the movie in after dinner to see how the first 20 minutes went and it kept my interest. So we watched it Saturday night and even Chuck said it was good. I found the working of 911 operators very interesting and we both thought she was stupid to go back down once she discovered the girls whereabouts but the movie ending warranted it.
Had enough time for a half hour show so watched one of our favorite pair of gals, Laverne & Shirley.
I was zonked so rolled over and went to sleep. Did wake up numerous times with Buddy chuffing and pits stops so tired and foggy this a.m.
Our Sunday here is very cloudy and low temps but more humidity than normal, but to me fine, of course, Chuck, not so fine.
We had a difference of opinion this a.m., so he's going around with a chip on his shoulder, he says No but I say otherwise. Whatever, as I said to him, it's my opinion and you are NOT going to change it.
Buddy enjoyed his pancake and then he ate his breakfast this morning. In fact, while we did our on line checks, he must have walked into the kitchen to check if it was still here 6 or 7 times.
Plus when I changed the sheets from Lucy to Ethel he was out again and looking at me and I said to him "in a bit" he huffed and went back into the computer room LOL
I am all cherry blossomed up and got my comics done and now off to do some catch up and then watch my workouts for the month and the ones for this week a couple of times to get them down pat. Then will go play some games. But right now I am off to take the pics I took a couple nights ago off my camera.
Tonight is up in the air on what shall be on the CSBM network. Same for our dinner....will be it angel hair or manicotti, decisions, decisions LOL
Hope you had a nice "me day" and the same for this evening,
Sounds familiar minus the kids!
3 times how about 15 for Buddy Max LOL
Whatsa matter kid, don't ya know good music when you hear it.
I am with ya, Drabble!

I would agree flowers are just fine!
1. Pick 5 papers. Use one as a background and use the others to create thin strips of "paper."
2. Pick either 3 square photos touching each other or one rectangular photo. Remember your theme is "Dedicated to the One I Love." You can frame if you like.
3. Place your photo(s) at an angle and position it hanging partially off the side of your layout. If you have more than one photo, make sure that the vertical sides are touching.
4. Layer your paper strips underneath your photo(s). Angle if you like.
5. In one corner of your layout, opposite the side you have your pictures on, use a fastener or two (staples, buttons, brads, etc) to attach a ribbon, bow, string, or lace.
6. Embellish as desired...don't forget your shadows!
7. Use an Alpha to create a title, and put any additional journaling (of course you have to have journaling....this is about someone/something you love!) on small strips of paper.
OK! That's the last one! Finish your pages and upload your layout to the Speed Scrap Gallery and if you post by the time I wake up in the morning you are still eligible for the posting bonus and gift certificate!
Be sure and post here inthe thread with a link to your page in the gallery so we can all leave some love!
she may make us write a letter..as a final step...that would be the zinger
Sure you can get away with it Jenn...until he is a teenager and sees this and then says....Ah Mom, what did you do that for? LOL

Lori Loveberry George
Selections from In Your Face - the power of portraiture
September 9, 2014-January, 2015
No. 1858 III
The Patricia Thompson Gallery is currently hosting recent work by Lori Loveberry George who studied printmaking at Ringling School of Art and Design in 1983. Thirteen mixed media works were selected from a series Loveberry has been working on this year.
No. 1958
The artist states "The series is called: In Your Face, the Power of Portraiture and was inspired by a book of early 20th century portraits Loveberry found in the library. Pictures From a Drawer, Prison and the Art of Portraiture by Bruce Jackson included small prison ID photos that were digitally restored and enlarged by the author. Professor Jackson serendipitously acquired 121 photos during a 1970's photography documentation project at Cummins Unit, an Arkansas state prison farm." The artist continues "Most of the 121 photos have numbers however, none have names. Women and men, young and old, black and white, are dressed in prison stripes, suits and hats, and ill-fitting, tattered clothing." Many questions came to her mind. "Who are they? What was their crime? What is their story? What impact would the portraits have if they were larger than life size?"
No. 2145
Loveberry states "I am interested in capturing essence: that primal unspoken language that connects us all, essence beyond race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. These portraits are mirrors that compel us to contemplate flaws, scars, and vulnerability. They are unsettling to look at or fearful to acknowledge. I present these pieces larger than life-size to command attention and directly confront viewers. Just as the subjects were prisoners in the past, we are all prisoners of our own twenty-first century making."
The Zodiac
Loveberry adds "Although I do not know the extent of their crimes, I needed to portray their human dignity that was most likely stripped of them when they were incarcerated. There are no surviving records of who they are or what they did. They are just a number, pinned on their clothing for an ID photo. How does their loss of identity compare with contemporary society numbering us for identification? How do their faces reflect our own?"
About her process Loveberry states, "I began with sketches, most of which are drawn upside-down, some finished right-side up. In the larger pieces I construct and build form on paper and canvas with layers of paint, wax, charcoal, and acrylic. Then deconstruction begins with fingernails, hands, sandpaper, erasers, and various carpentry tools in order to reconstruct and uncover the image again. I am passionate about exploring the essence of the human condition through improvisation and spontaneity of emotive line making and the study of form."
No. 212
The power of these works is in the confrontation the viewer has with them. Anonymous though they are Loveberry has taken inspiration from photographs of individuals who were arrested for a crime we know nothing about. The camera may have captured their likeness in a one shot attempt, however, Loveberry seems to have made a psychological connection as she has contemplated aspects of the subject's physiognomy to sharpen the focus or inspection of these photographs. Loveberry provides us with a vast array of portraits of the human condition including fear, introspection and resignation.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, May 31) The U.S. Department of Agriculture's pesticide residue data on fresh produce and other foods confirms that the residues do not pose safety concerns, according to the agency.
The USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service released the 2010 Pesticide Data Program Annual Summary on May 25. The website also features a guide about the report for consumers.
Data from the PDP, which began in 1991, has been used by the Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Working Group since 1995 to compose its "Dirty Dozen" list of produce with the most pesticide residues.
Alex Formuzis, vice president of media relations for the Environmental Working Group, Washington, D.C., said May 31 that the group had no immediate comment about the release of the PDP data. However, he did say EWG plans to release its annual "Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in Produce" — including the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists — later in June.
Since 2010, the Watsonville, Calif.-based Alliance for Food and Farming has led industry efforts to refute consumer impressions that produce has pesticide levels that warrant a food safety concern.
USDA and other federal officials emphasized the safety of the food supply in a news release about the report.
"Age-old advice remains the same: eat more fruits and vegetables and wash them before you do so," according to the release. "Health and nutrition experts encourage the consumption of fruits and vegetables in every meal as part of a healthy diet."
A statement from the Environmental Protection Agency said the latest PDP data confirms the agency's success approving safer pesticides and pest control techniques.
"The potential health benefits of increasing one's produce intake clearly outweigh the hypothetical risks associated with the ingestion of the trace amounts of pesticides that might be associated with these foods,"
Dr. Carl Keen, professor of Nutrition and Internal Medicine at University of California-Davis, said in a news release from the alliance.
Industry sources said the letter should make it clear to consumers that fruits and vegetables are safe.
"It's irresponsible for anyone to misuse this report to scare consumers away from affordable fruits and vegetables that they enjoy, making the work of improving the diets of Americans more difficult," Joe Pezzini, chief operating officer of Ocean Mist Farms in Castroville, Calif., said in statement.

A year after the big-screen version, Teen Wolf made its way to television as a cartoon. As in the film, the cartoon Scott Howard (played in the movie by Michael J. Fox) was forced to deal with the indignities of adolescence-acne, girl trouble, and extra hair... everywhere.
Unlike the film's premise, wherein Scott became popular at school after his alter ego was revealed, the cartoon showed Scott hoping to keep his werewolf tendencies a secret. The animated series also added a pack of were-relatives, including Scott's grandparents and semi-wolfen little sister Lupe.
Growing up in the city of Wolverton, which had become a tourist stop because of its historic werewolf sightings, Scott fought hard to keep his alter ego a secret. He did, however, confide in his two best buds, Styles (voiced by Donny "Ralph Malph" Most) and the female Boof.
Whenever Scott was angered or exposed to a full moon, the teenager would become a werewolf. A frequent source of his anger was Mick, Scott's rival for the affection of the school knockout, Pam.
June Foray (the voice of Rocket J. Squirrel) provided the voice not only for Grandma Howard, but also for Mrs. Sesslick, the nosy next-door neighbor. Along with her dorky reporter son Waldo, Mrs. Sesslick spent most of her time trying to expose the teen wolf's secret.
The show ran for three Saturday-morning seasons, even surviving the box-office bomb Teen Wolf Too. The Saturday morning show also boasted not one, but two memorable theme songs-a spooky rock piece and its cheerier surf pop replacement.

"Preliminary laboratory studies suggest the outbreak strain of hepatitis A virus is genotype 1B. This strain is rarely seen in the Americas but circulates in the North Africa and Middle East regions."
As of May 31 when the federal agencies last updated their investigation reports, nine of the 30 sick people had been admitted to hospitals since the beginning of the outbreak on April 29. The five states involved as of May 31 were Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and California.
The CDC is encouraging anyone who ate the Townsend Organic Anti-Oxidant Blend within the past two weeks to check with their doctors to determine if they should get a hepatitis A vaccine because it can be effective for up to two weeks after exposure.

fintail Posts: 34,523Nah, that's a lot of money, You could have found a nicely restored driver for the same, without the same inflated claims and issues.
I know a lot of low mileage cars were stored poorly and suffered with bad paint and rotted interiors, but I would rather that be left for me to deal with. The market is different now than even 10 years ago though, now "patina" is very desirable and people like old and original - where before they wanted to erase it at all costs. -
texases Posts: 5,718"DO NOT let that engine get low on oil and try not to wind it out too hard in the lower gears. These weren't bad engines but they don't like high RPM's. "
While one wouldn't want to swap a new(er) 250 cid Chevy 6 into a 'low mile original' '52, is that an option for a less 'special' one? Would seem to really improve the drivability factor. -

I know about the bottom end that this engine has. So far I'm doing my own wrenching on her. I just redid the valve gear myself, and, now she's much happier at speed. Yeah - I decided just to put up with the rear main leak at this point. Putting a seal in with the engine in the car looks like a pain.

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,200Most pre-war cars of this type can barely run on modern freeways, and they are ponderous at slow speeds. They are neither fast, nor fun, nor agile, and in most cases, not very pretty either. There are a few exceptions, like 40-41 Ford V8s, the Air Flows and of course some pre-war foreign stuff.

andre1969 Posts: 22,238Years ago, one of my friends had a 1950 DeSoto Custom 4-door, which had Fluid drive and, IIRC, a flathead six that was 236.6 CID or something like that and maybe 110 hp gross?
Now true, this is a postwar car, but I doubt that engine/performance-wise, it was much different from the '41-48 models. I rode in my friend's 50 a few times, and followed him, in my '57 Firedome, to a car show once.
I have no idea what 0-60 would've been in it, but I remember reading that when the Firedome V-8 came out for '52, it knocked 4 seconds off the 0-60 time versus the 6, and the time I've seen listed was 17.6 seconds. So that would put the 1952 6-cyl model at around 21.6 seconds, and I'd guess the 50 was similar?
In normal driving, as a passenger, the car seemed fine. And it also didn't seem to have any trouble keeping up with interstate speeds, maybe 70-75 mph. I'm sure it would be a bit scary though, if you had to do a high-speed merge onto a highway from a dead stop though!
It was a nice car for loafing around, and in good shape. But admittedly, pretty dull. Not something I'd exactly clamor for. He ended up buying a '55 Fireflite Coronado, one of the earliest triple-tone models, and sold the '50 to an old guy up north of Baltimore. It was a much cooler car, with the 291 Hemi and 200 hp. But still, just a nice old 4-door sedan, and I think he really wanted something flashier.
I think I ended up being a bad influence on this guy, because soon after I bought my '67 Catalina convertible, he got the 'vert bug really bad. But he tried to satisfy it with an '83 or so LeBaron convertible, with the 2.6 Mitsubishi 4-cyl! And after that it was one of those little Aussie Capris. Finally, he sort of found a happy medium with a '72 Corvette. Not a convertible, but it did have the removable targa panel. -

isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,069Yeah, all Powerglaide Chevys had a 235 and by 1953, they all had full pressure lubrication. The last of the 216's were the 1952's with sticks.
Old pre war Buicks were wonderful highway cruisers too and there were probably others too.
I agree, the flathead sixs weren't really made for the freeway. -
hpmctorque Posts: 4,346
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,200if you want a 50s domestic car with adequate power and handling for modern roads you are somewhat limited. I would guess that a Hudson Hornet and maybe an Olds coupe would get you by okay. Cads are too freakin' big, Buicks are...well...Buicks...Chevies still old ladies cars....maybe the 49-51 Ford coupe would work out okay..at least it's a V8 and not such a heavy car. Kinda primitive suspension, though. The Mopars haven't quite made it to the good handling stage of the 55s on up.

hoosiergrandad Posts: 96When I was 5, my Dad bought a 53 Pontiac Chieftain 2 door with a straight 8 and a stick, about the same color as the 52 Chevy at the beginning of this thread. He kept it until 59, when he traded it in on a new Catalina. I remember him taking it up to 85 a few times. My Grandpa had a 56 Star Chief hardtop, turquoise and white, that seemed like a rocket in comparison. A
"perfect" example of THAT car would sorely tempt me, were it available. I haven't seen one with an original spec interior.... -

isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,069I believe those Hudsons held some kind of a track record for many years.
I remember an old timer telling a story about how he was driving his new 1950 Olds 90 MPH one night when he saw headlights behind him. he figured it was a cop and he was about to get nailed so he didn't let off the gas.
To his great surprise, he was passed by a Hudson who he guessed had to be doing well over 100 MPH. -

Hampshire puts full resources into tackling flooding
Tuesday, 11 February 2014
Hampshire County Council continues to work 24/7 to keep Hampshire moving as flooding from heavy rainfall, high groundwater levels and overflowing rivers affects more areas across the county.
This weekend alone another 10,000 sandbags were deployed by highways teams, bringing the total delivered around Hampshire to 35,000. Sandbags are filled at the four highways depots, where stocks of sand and bags are delivered, ready for roads across Hampshire worst hit by the flooding.
Since the heavy rains hit Hampshire just before Christmas, more than 100 highways staff have been on continuous deployment, along with all of the 200 frontline staff from Amey, the County Council's term highways contractor. This last weekend saw 70 of these contractors helping to maintain 24 hours a day services through working on 12 hour shifts, and calling in sub contractors when necessary.
All eight of Hampshire's gully tankers have been deployed non stop over the past few weeks. Sandbags were delivered during Saturday and Sunday, to villages and roads across the county affected by the high groundwater levels and full rivers, including Upton, Hurstbourne Tarrant, Romsey, Winchester, Kings' Somborne, Basingstoke, parts of the New Forest, Farringdon, Bramdean, Twyford and Stockbridge.
While highways teams endeavour to keep the main roads open, some have had to be closed due to the risk of vehicles becoming stranded or stuck in the water, and also the bow waves of passing vehicles affecting properties adjacent to the road. Southern Water have temporarily shut down their mains replacement works at Colden Common as surrounding roads are suffering from flooding to avoid any further delays.
Councillor Seán Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council, said: "We have deployed all the resources we have in tackling this flooding across Hampshire, with hundreds of staff working round the clock, helping evacuate people from flooded properties, putting out thousands of sandbags to keep the flood water from the roads, and deploying gully emptiers to clear water from flooded highways where we can. To make the best use of all available resources, we continue to work closely with colleagues in Fire, Police, the Environment Agency, Southern Water, District Councils and community groups to make the best use of each organisations' expertise.
"I would like once again to publicly express my gratitude to our workforce and our contractors for their efforts during this time and also to our communities who are showing the most amazing stoicism and community spirit in the most testing of circumstances."
"With cold nights and even more rain predicted for the rest of today and Wednesday, I'd like to remind people to continue to allow extra time for their journeys, to heed road closure signs, to be careful of other road users and houses adjacent to roads, and to drive according to the weather conditions."
