National Whipped Cream Day
I am not a Whipped Cream person but it always looks so good on top of things like ice cream with a cherry on top, or a fresh piece of Pumpkin pie.
Quote of the day
Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right."
Hope you have a good day planned today. My DGGranddaughter #2 has a birthday in couple weeks so I spent some time on computer trying to decide a good gift for age 3. Have couple ideas and it is a challenge with Christmas just over with. Did talk to her Mom tonight and have a few ideas from her also.
More for today but I do see a little snow in forecast for Friday. Will get my errands done today , just in case. Also working on a grocery list. Don't have a clue what I want to cook. Meatloaf?? maybe . or Stuffed porch chops or chicken breasts?

Love that quote Connie and it’s so right! I do like whipped cream. Used to get Redi-Whip but now get Cool Whip as I then know when it’s getting low instead of hitting the spray button on a can and just getting air! So disappointing when you really want whipped cream! 😉
Fred did go to Xfinity and it was crazy! After being told by the one guy a few weeks ago that removing the sports package nothing would be affected we did have our HD and TCM for one day and then HD was still there but TCM said subscription only and I also noticed before he left that some of the crime channels I watch gave me the same message. Well it turned out those channels were all tied into the sports package! So he added it back for $9.95 but the guy there then saw in looking at our account how long we’ve been customers so added a customer loyalty discount of $20 a month. I said I wonder why nobody mentioned that before and he said I think it’s at the discretion of whoever helps you. So anyway after he was done our bill is going to be under $200 a month which is still too much but it also is packaged with our internet and e-mail so Fred was happy with that. I was a little frustrated though as I saw a movie coming on TCM later last night that I knew Fred would want to watch so went to record it and no record button! The message of needing a subscription popped up! I was so mad but calmed down and got online to see what was going on and several people were also asking what was going on? The answer given was reboot your box so I did that and voila the record button was back! So I guess whenever you do a change to your service you have to reboot your box. Too bad the people at the Xfinity center don’t tell you that so you don’t blow a gasket when you don’t have to!
Today have to get a few things at the store that only our Schnucks carries and even though it will be cloudy and cold really have to at least attempt a walk.

😱. That sundae looks so good! I think one of my favorite desserts on the planet is a hot fudge sundae with just vanilla ice cream and maybe some pecans! I'm a simple girl. My very favorite dessert may well be just a warm apple pie 🥧! I went to Weight Watchers yesterday for my monthly weigh in. I made lifetime in August of 2022 no 21 and so I have to go monthly and be within 2 lb of my weight goal to keep free membership. Normally there are anywhere from maybe 10 to 15 or so that attend the meetings. Yesterday there was a long line stretching to the back of the building lol. New Year's resolutions I suppose! The meeting was absolutely packed I don't think there was an empty seat... It'll be interesting to see how many remain next month. 😁 I see people were asking for photographs so I'm going to put one on this post.  |

Great picture, Shagrae, it doesn't look like you need to lose any weight. Maybe when I get on my laptop again, I will put a picture up that shows my size. I'm short, 5'3" with big legs. I did WW a long time ago. After I spent a winter in the hospital and should have died I decided not to worry about weight anymore. Just try to never get pneumonia and flu again. The reason I am still here is a very good lung doctor and Saint Peter locked the gate. He said that crazy lady ain't comin' in here.
Gotta get dressed and get a haircut.

We had a dusting a snow overnight, but the sidewalks and roads are just wet. I have no plans for today. I may take some stuff out to the recycling bin in the garage. I'm off to find some breakfast.

Good morning!
I am 5'7" tall, and kind of average size. I lost weight with chemo, but have gained most back. My doctor says not to lose any. So I no longer worry about it. I do watch my carbs, because I have diabetes, and that controls my weight a bit. My hair is very thin and quite short. I can no longer style it (my hands don't work well) so I have a short s tyle. My eyes are hazel, brown to gold, with green sometimes. I asked my daughter to describe my overall appearance for you, and she said, "frail." Yesh! I hope not. I love to read, be with friends, watch some tv, and crochet. I am a retired teacher, and a grandmother of 7, great-grandma of one little guy.
Yesterday, we met friends for breakfast, and that was fun. Afterwards, we picked up our grocery order and got it put away. Then PT, then I went for my manicure -- at last! Got home and sat down at computer -- Granddaughter #1 calls and says she's coming over! Got the door unlocked and she was here. We took her to lunch, of course, then came home for an nap!
Today, we ate the last breakfast pizza so I'll have to make more. Next, I 'll make a grocery order for Saturday pick up. The ad for our local grocery is online, so I search through that. February is our coldest month, usually, so I'll trying to be sure we're well-stocked.
Connie, you have so many good options for dinner! I plan to make corn chowder, using the ham from Christmas I have ready. Since it will be higher carb, I'll eat a lunch light on carbs. Thank you for our start up ad for some menu ideas.
Congrats, Shragae, on making "lifetime!" You posted a good photo, and deserve to be proud of yourself. I think we all have to just keep working on it. I usually stay within about 4 pounds. I agree, warm apple pie is great! Nothing added to it. I like rhubarb pie, too.
Whipped cream? I use Cool Whip, and I think it goes on almost any pie or cake. On cake, I use it instead of icing.
Sandy, you experience with your tv service sounds typical. Glad you got a quick resolution to the situation.
Hugs!
Diane

I love Cool Whip and the extra creamy is pretty awesome. Had it at DGD#5's house. I will use Reddi Whip now and then on top my Keurig Cappuccino or latte. I laughed at the description of the end of a can. so true. !!
Shragae, your Photo is so good. Lucy, I do remember photos of you.
and remember when you were so sick. Was always glad when the updates on you said you were doing better. You are a strong lady!!
It is good you are careful with your health. We almost lost you. I think St Peter said , not time, this lady needs more time, too much more she needs to do.
thank you all for your descriptions of yourselves. That is what I meant!! Good job!! Hope you thought it was fun. You never "have to" Just suggestions for fun for the day.
Waiting on my hair to dry and hooray the sun is shining. the socks I ordered for my neighbor came today so will take them over later after I get my errands run. Only a couple of places to go. Got email a book that was on hold for me is ready for me at the library, forgot what it was!! Should have written it down somewhere. Will pay my fine and pick up the book. Just pocket change, only couple of days late on 4 books.
Kathie, thanks for the tuck in. I needed that last night. the night before I stayed up too late reading a wonderful book so last night I needed to get to bed a bit earlier. Did sleep well and still hard to get up this morning. I am such a night owl !! Could just tuck my head in covers and go back to sleep many times in the morning.

Good morning.
OK, now I'm going to cause a problem  Because of all the processed ingredients in Cool Whip I won't use it anymore. I know Reddi Whip has some too but according to a survey they are easily digested where as the ones in Cool Whip are not.
I actually prefer real whipped cream but it doesn't stay good for very long and you really have to use it quickly. I always buy 2 cans of Reddi Whip and when one empties I buy another. Don't use so much now but DH always liked a little dessert with his Reddi Whip.
Had to shovel again this morning and put ice melt on some spots on the patio. The temp is warm enough that it should melt the ice and I can scrape it up later. I am really tired of this snow every day. Our total for Farmington was 14 inches. Snow banks are getting very high in my back yard and getting harder for me to lift the new snow over them.
Shragae, love the picture of you. You are a beautiful lady.
Love all the descriptions. I don't have any pictures of me to post but I'll try to post a visual picture. I am about 5ft 5 inches, too heavy according to my doc my BMI is too high, Have shoulder length mostly gray hair. Even at my age my hair is very thick. I have worn it short for years but got tired of that so have let it grow out a bit. My eyes are kind of a blue/brown color. I have quite a large birthmark on my (L) cheek that the doc said was not just on the surface and would be difficult to remove. I wear glasses and hearing aides. I did WW for years and could never seem to keep it off so now I'm just more careful and try to eat healthy. In the winter I live in sweats except for church and if I go someplace a bit nicer. I do have good clothes but like to be comfy. I live alone with my little dog Ozzie in beautiful snowy cold MN.

Nice to see Shragae......I HAVE met several of my WW online friends but none from this group. Each has been exactly like I thought. We write from our hearts here. Jim had breakfast this morning and now back in bed. Shana had her walk and it started raining so they came back sooner than usual with a soaking wet pup. She is curled up in the blanket next to Jim now.
See you all later for tuck in!

Remember if you want to see the avatar larger than it shows, just hold down on the CTRL and use the plus sign or the up sign. With me I can use the mouse and roll up or down.
Lucy great picture.!! You look wonderful in red!!!
Betty, no problem here with your post. I don't use Cool Whip much and never did like real whipped cream. Mom used way too much sugar in her's.

Thanks, Connie, I love red.
Got a good report about my bladder pessary. I go back in 2 weeks. I pick up a cream at the pharmacy tomorrow.
