Yes, I like The King And I too but I haven't seen a Dogs Purpose.Hope it's not sad.Watched Hattchi A Dogs Tale and My Dog Skip before we got a dog, and cried like a baby.Don't think I could ever watch them again now we have our little dog.

Oh it's a beautiful film and a bit sad. I cry at the drop of a hat. My sister and I like Blood Brothers and the King and I on the stage but she gets embarrassed because I cry my way through both !

I know! I love dog films but cry, and then my eyes are swollen, and I get a headache and then I think why did I watch that movie again? when I knew I would end up with a headache?

Cavapoochonowner profile image
Cavapoochonowner in reply toSkylane2

We went to the pictures twice while on holiday a couple of years ago to see mama mia 2.I'd cried the first time when I knew Meryl Streep had died, then we went again because my daughter loved it so much.This time I was trying to control the crying almost from the beginning because I knew what was coming.I think what got me was the daughter going through having a baby without her mother there.Heartbreaking.I've not watched it since.

I actually saw Forrest in a movie theater (Those were the days). I got rid of Netflix; got Criterion instead. So, I’m binging on classics and so-called “art cinema”. Some it’s good, many are mediocre. Like the 1980’s and forward Japanese and Korean movies. I see where Tarantino got the stuff.

Our usual daily walk, around the top of our village hill which is aprox 1hr, depending on the weather. Normally we would walk up the hill from the village, and then along the top and back down, through the village and home, but have got lung problem at the moment, so can’t do uphill and have to stay on fairly level ground.

We go to a nearby woodland area which is about 180 acres. I know it well so feel safe covering a fair distance without worrying what we are stepping into. Usually for about an hour in snow then home for a hot chocolate and a tripe stick. The tripe stick is for my dog!

Take our rescue dog for a walk as she adores the snow and I love it ahe it first snows. She is hilarious as she often loses her ball in deep snow a d sticks her hairy muzzle in the snow in an effort to reach her ball the snow sticks to it and she looks like she is a black dog but with a white beard.

This sounds so cute! Thank you for saying this! She sounds like she really enjoys being outside even in the snow. Does she ever have you help her find the toy balls? :-)

rosewine profile image
rosewine in reply toActivity2004

If she can't find them she will run around trying to see where it has gone. She will suddenly stop a look at me intensely as though to say "help me Mom" and I will point to where I think it is hidden and she goes off in that direction to find it. We didn't take one today as it was very wet here and the park was muddy. Along came another one with a squeaky ball and she pinched it andcwme runnung back with it and put it at my feet to throw so fortunately I was able to give it back.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply torosewine

Yes, sometimes, my cat goes and chases after her toys in the house and when she can't find something, she gets me or my parents to help then she expects to have that toy be thrown in her direction to go back to play. She's so funny sometimes! :-)

Hello crazyfitness

Actually it does not feel to bad. Only thing that bothers me is I take forever to heal broken bones. Broke a leg and would not heal, I was 8 months in full leg cast. I did not have walker cast and in wheel chair. My heart goes out to anyone who has to spend much time in sling collapsible wheelchair.

in reply toBig_Dee

I'm glad it doesn't feel too bad. Oh my goodness you do take a long time to heal. I agree, feel for those that are in a wheelchair.

Take care🙏

I will be in a wheelchair until I get my hip replaced on February 26 the pain is so bad I had to give up on the walker or cane. My surgeon says I have bursitis and that adds to the bad hip and my spine cannot support it because of 2 collapsed discs . Need prayer

Big_Dee profile image
Big_Dee in reply toSkylane2

Hello Skylane2

The wheelchair sling that one sits in, wraps around your hips and hurt worse than my broken leg. I would suggest a piece of plywood and cushion to put in sling to take load off your hips. My hips were so numb from sitting in wheel chair I use to drag myself out and sit on floor. Blessings.

Activity2004 in reply to

Doing exercise indoors on snowy/bad weather days is a great idea. I walk up and down the steps during the day regularly, but I do more of the up and down the steps during snowy days the most since I don't want to get too cramped up from sitting too long. I also don't want to go out and fall. With bad/no depth perception, I don't know how far I am from an icy patch.

in reply toActivity2004

Oh walking up and down the stairs is one of the best exercises. Sitting for too long isn't good for you, we need to keep the joints going as much as possible.👍👍

Some hours seem to be much better than others. In a sort of limbo at the moment. Trying to keep my head above the waterline.

I don't like change AT ALL, regardless of the specific situation. I share this unit with my sister. I'm her full-time caregiver. The unit we have lived in (for almost 17 years) is a DUMP. However, with credit in the sub-basement, renting in a secure apartment community, or anywhere else for that matter, will be a huge challenge to attempt to overcome.

Thanks so much for asking. Much appreciated.

I'm never OK, but I'm a survivor and have a measure of 'fight' left within me.

BTW, you may want to take a look at Eric Hoffer's four books, one of which is titled, "The Ordeal of Change". Extremely worthwhile.

Rbeth profile image
RbethReading Rabbits in reply toActivity2004

Thanks for responding. I just finished “The Night Portrait “, a novel of WW2 and Da Vinci’s Italy by Laura Morelli. I loved it! “The Woman in the Window “ a stunning novel with twists in the plot. By A. J. Finn. I enjoyed it. I belong to a book club. My neighbor put together a club for the ladies on our street eleven years ago. There are about 15 of us and we meet every 4-6 weeks. Some women have moved, but continue to come to the meetings- zoom meetings for now. It’s a wonderful way to know your neighbors and keep in touch with old neighbors and meet new ones. I treasure my book club.

As for knitting, I had to look up what a snood was. I knit winter headbands, hats, and blankets for my couch and to give to special friends. Also baby blankets.

What books do you read?

I live in Rochester New York. The snow has been flying. I also enjoy watching the birds that come to my suet bird feeders. We have lots of woodpeckers, cardinals, blue jays, and more.

Thanks again. Reenie

Yes, the Night Portrait” book was a page turner. Read it in three days. What books do you recommend? I bought a pompom maker. Made a bunch from leftover yarns. Fun. Don’t know what I’ll do with them. Maybe a funny necklace for my 97 year old cousin in the nursing home. As for knitting, I think I’ll make a lap blanket for the car. Where do you live?We will have snow until the end of April. They keep the streets clean, so it is easy to get around.

Won’t get my covid vaccine until the end of March. Still trying to get a closer time. I am 70 and have metastatic breast cancer, so I stay home and work from home.

Have a relaxing day.

Hi. I am 3/4 the way through A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson about the Appalachians. It's great, makes me want to do some part of it at some time. My previous book was The Whistler by John Grisham - unputdownable! he gets better with every book. I live in Norwich, Norfolk but our good snow didn't last long then it became ice. Had my jab yesterday it was fine, no problems, long queue though but chatted to a nice man next in line so that made the wait more bearable. To be honest, I don't mind this lockdown I have got so many things done and am enjoying reading my book stash and getting into my wool stash.

I love my Hot Chocolate, Horlicks and Ovaltine in the winter as I look out of the window at the beautiful snow in the garden watching the beautiful snow coming down at lunchtime or even at night before bed.

Great Survey.

Do you get to take pictures of the scenery when it snows? :-)

I'm not really one for taking pictures as I like to live in the moment and enjoy the scene around me.

Activity2004 in reply toLotus-Blossom

That's okay. I take some pictures only when the scenery looks different compared to the last time I was outside when the weather is cooperative. :-)

Could just sit and watch the snow fall . Has that instant calm especially at night with street lights on . Last snowfall we were out walking about a mile from home about 5pm. It came on quite heavy .It felt weirdly romantic . It wasn't cold and the wetness didn't bother me . Last snowfall and I finished my Xmas jigsaw.

Hi BeckyAnn1956,I love to read and since you mentioned mysteries I thought you might enjoy reading the author, Jodi Picoult. She has written over 30 books, I think, and there's always a type of mystery involved. An accomplished writer, she's especially talented and also does meticulous research. The majority of her books are page turners. I can hardly put them down. Read the synopsis carefully, so you know that you're choosing a book you'll really enjoy.

Have you heard of abesbooks.com? I love to build my library so I often order from abesbooks. You will find the majority of books ranging from $2.98 to maybe, not very often, $4.50. All the books I've ordered are in excellent condition even if the seller reports that the book is in fair condition.

Non in particular ,. Except I hate silly films.Back in the 1930's they seemed rather good at silly films, every other one.

1950 to 1960 some the comedy films are classics.

Do you like reading? When I have a stressful day/week, I get a book that I want to read and just sit on a couch/recliner and block out the rest of the world. The reading helps to relax and calm me down. Makes me forget what is bothering me. I also try to listen to music and talk to my friends. :-)

Awe! I bet the snow that comes is very smooth and very quiet when it falls. When we get snow, there's a blanket-like way of it falling and it goes extremely fast and sometimes sideways! :-) We haven't had a chance to do a snowball fight here, yet this Winter. Maybe, in the next few days! :-)

Trying to be the best I can be. It's 4:05am on Sunday morning and I'm totally wiped out. I don't take well to any change....at all. The author, Eric Hoffer, wrote four books...all jewels...one is titled "The Ordeal of Change". This little book describes so much, if not all of the feelings I'm experiencing.So very kind of you to ask if I'm OK!!!! So very appreciated.

You have my very best wishes to enjoy a relaxing, safe Sunday!!! I live in south Jersey...it's FREEZING!!!!!!!! Hope it's warmer where you live!!

Take good care of yourself!!

Hi sophie4 ,

Thank you for the reply. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

The weather here is okay, but we expect to get more snow and rain Monday during the day in Maryland. Very cold temperatures here today.

I did some reading this afternoon. I also had gluten free waffles for lunch. Pretty good day.😀👍🌈
