I'm IN.
☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️
✨I'm RETIRED now✨. Yes, indeed. That's why Toots & I chose to spend Saturday gardening at Son#1's and then at DD's.
✨I'm RETIRED now✨. Yup. Retired. And MissMouse, Spouse, and Mice treated us to a BBQ supper followed by a toast with peach moscato sparkling wine (and ice cream cake from DSonIL's 8/31 birthday).
✨I'm RETIRED now✨. And today we will continue to work at Son#1's on his reconfiguring his front garden bed.
I'm enjoying my coffee and being ✨RETIRED✨... ☕☕☕...
☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️
Have a healthy-eating day, all!
☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️🌻☀️🌻

I'm in. Just got back from grocery shopping. It's going to be another hot, humid day so no outside work for me. Instead I think I'll watch the US Open. Hope everyone has a nice day! diva49, Congrats on your retirement. Enjoy your gardening. |

Yea, diva49,! So happy for you and I know you'll love it (and probably be even busier doing what you want!) I'm going to WW this morning for my September WI. Then, a quick stop at Costco to get DD a T-fal skillet that's on sale. Last day for this sale so I hope they still have them in stock. DH is coming home this afternoon so I'll be back on kitchen duty. I think we'll have grilled chicken caesar salad.  |

diva49, sounds like you've got a good handle on this retirement thing. You'll soon wonder how you ever had time to fit a job into your life and discover that there's no going back ( lmenglish being the sole exception!). Here we are on September 2 and one of the first advertisements I saw on the morning news was for the Haloween season at Disneyland. Seems odd that the Pumpkin-everything season beat Haloween. And drumroll, please. THIS WEEK'S WW WEEKLY is all about the WW app with almost two whole pages focusing on telling us how FABulous Connect is, even citing some Internet "authority" as saying it is the best Social Media app of them all. I guess the state of social media is in a sorry state. Given that tomorrow is a holiday closure for WW, I guess I will launch myself early this morning and head to the Sunday meeting and monthly weigh-in. I hope everyone is sleeping a bit late and wish everyone a great day.

Good morning all.
MJ - Enjoy your now "official" retirement
Stay cool Lavonm
Good luck at WI Linda
Have fun at your family party Pam.
Hahaha Mike. Connect barely functions on my phone and is a disaster on my laptop.
I'm in. DGF is still asleep so the day will get off to a slow start.

Hi all. THISCLOSE to chucking my WW Online membership. Right now I can't see that I would be interested in going back to FS. The disconnect between points and calories is simply too damn irritating. But I have been known to be fickle so I'm letting it ride for now. Presently working with MFP and the scale is inching down oh-so-slowly following a quick leap upwards. So what else is new? This week's WW Weekly was a total waste. #thisiscrap Cool weather, finally, but headed toward some steamy days this week. I've been awake since about 4am for no apparent reason and now could use a nap. There is no reason NOT to take a nap except I always feel guilty and sluggish and cranky after I take one so I rarely do. But I might today. It's either a nap or another pot of coffee. The coffee with probably win out because I have a sweet hen who's gone broody and has to be removed from the nest every two hours or so to eat and drink (or she might starve to death left to her own hormonal self) so I just thought of a reason to skip the nap, I think. Good thing I love those silly chickens.  The coffee pot it is, then. Have a nice holiday weekend. |

Gotta to live my part time job. Since its been a year, my average hours per month has been 12, at my convenience!
Went for a walk, it was sprinkling with the sun shining in my face. Next went to mass. Came home made a cucumber and tomato salad for BBQ at DD. DS is here from Wisconsin

I did a spittake on that one! LOL. Good thing I love those silly chickens. So, in essence, your chickens are official "therapy chickens" and that means you can take them with you wherever you go: stores, restaurantys, bakeries, malls, etc. |

zazzles, I've read the airlines are finally cutting back on the "therapy" animals. Now, only dogs, cats and MINIATURE HORSES are allowed. Huh? Why sure, I'd love to share my seat with a miniature horse sitting next to me. Good gracious. Guess that beats the spiders and peacocks. I weighed in this morning and stayed for the meeting. The discussion about Connect on the app was interesting. The leader was really trying to push it but few of the members in this meeting use it. I gave them the name of Monteking to look for on Connect. He has great food photos and I guess that could be inspirational for menu ideas. I think Mindy must be pushing the digital experience since we have an entire Weekly devoted to it. The leader said there would be an informational meeting about using the app on a Saturday in the fall.

Mindy has stated in the earnings calls with analysts that she sees the digital platform as the future. It is why so many of us think that meetings may become obsolete in the future. There is no doubt that there is an audience for meetings, but if WW can pick up a million or so additional digital platform-only members, then they might feel they could be profitable from digital-only and closing meetings. Here's the 2016 racked.com article: Interesting. It seems like the author of that article is pretty much the demographic that Mindy is interested in attracting. Young, female, tech savvy and adicted. [Aside—why is ProBoard showing me the horrible photos of someone's swollen legs with a title "4 Signs You're About to Die of a Heart Attack"? Perhaps mentioning Connect makes the advertising server think it should serve up inappropriate photos! |

In cyberAge, that is ancient, stale commentary. There was nothing newer referencing WW. |
