Hey fitbit owners, this is a great time to go for those badges. What took me 12 hours would take you stronger, younger, healthier people much less time I'm sure.
Our local forecast for this weekend looks fabulous. I'm going to try taking Snoop for the walk through downtown and see how he does.
Until Ms Mod and Stephen King say to us all "Hasta la vista, baby. We won't be back!"Untill Michael buble and mariah carey emerge from their caves with christmas songs ?
I don't have a fitbit but I will use the Health feature on my iPhone to keep track of my steps
Thanks, Dana Jean for bumping this back up here as we get closer to shutter time. This was a list I'd compiled a while back and posted when first announcing that the Board would be shuttered once I was retired. I appreciate your suggestion that there are many Boards to join and why not try more than one of them to see which one fits each person. Even this Board hasn't been the one that does that for some people and why there are so many choices.
And even those family members who seem to think they've been persecuted and maligned for their opinions are still accepted and haven't been told not to come to gatherings in spite of their having very different views from their hosts.Nature abhors a vacuum.
Nature revels in diversity.
I was thinking about families this morning.
Getting together to watch football games, or gathering for summer picnics, holiday feasts, or just sitting together at the dinner table or around the pool.
Families love one another, but they don't always like each other.lol, sometimes they don't like each other at all. But that's okay.
"Oh gawwwwd, the so &so's showed up!"
Yep! The so & so's showed up.
And just think how things would be if they didn't. Everyone would happy, smiling, getting along, all being like minded and painfully agreeable.
The hero's would have no one to defend, the gentle peacemakers would have nothing to do. The list goes on.
How BORING that could be.
Bottom line:
I think families love enjoy all their family members. Even the ones they're not particularly fond of.
Families revel in diversity too.
I think so at least.
They're the ones who are always going to show up even if they were told not to come! Lol.And even those family members who seem to think they've been persecuted and maligned for their opinions are still accepted and haven't been told not to come to gatherings in spite of their having very different views from their hosts.
At my house, anyway, they're welcome to stay unless or until they start trying to set people against each other. There's a limit to my hospitality.They're the ones who are always going to show up even if they were told not to come! Lol.

Hrumph... Still waiting on that invite that was ‘supposedly’ lost in the mail. You mean you didn't get the other one either? Why, I can't imagine how that could have happened.
Just trying to keep things civil. Best to know what you're dealing with so that when offenders step over the line, they know what to expect. Although as you said, they often continue their behavior anyway and then act surprised when they're called out on it or think they're being singled out. Human nature, I guess.Tis your Rome, Domina.
And you rule justly and kindly.
