Good Morning Gang... Not much to report - Watched Dancing w/the Stars & Idol dinner was grilled cheese (lite bread & 2% cheese) Don't know what I am going to do for lunch today - maybe a lean cusine since I don't have left overs..

You must have posted while - I was talking to the kids I agree 100% pple need to be remembered..

Hey gang - came her an hr ago but Kaitlin skyped me - so I have been on the phone/computer with them for the last hour.. Karla - The memorial isn't til friday - Celebration of life really - I think pple need them cuz the pple left need to day goodbye - my gf dad didn't have anything and my dad said that at least a memorial so that pple could say their goodbyes.. The 2% cheese is good and it melts. Yep this is a lifetime thing - but it takes time - I just ate a piece of 50 cal cheese - really didn't want it it just sounded good.. Well need to go feed the dogs and watch dancing w/the stars from last night - I will ck bk later

Good Morning Gang Karla - Good for you and your insurance decision... You can always add and take away in the enrollment period next yr - dental for me isn't that expensive.. Your soup didn't sound bad till I read cheese an sour cream and frittos lol - hope the cheese and sour cream where lite ;0) Yes looking forward to 3 day weekend myself. May be going to see Prince Cover Band (fake Prince) we saw them last yr and they give an excellent show.. Funeral friday at 6:30 for gf sil - Sat a.m. gym w/trainer cuz he has to cancel on wed - I watched the end of lost - I think the bottom line was that no man is an island - we need each other - just like lbt ;0) I could use a little more sleep myself ;0) CBL

Good Evening Gang.... Back from the gym... Had a good work out.. Well Phyl if you don't want to stay there - then it's back to basics !!! 5 day pouch test??.... Back to keeping a food diary (did you ever??) You know those lattes and wine calories add up.. Food today for me - BF Jerky (100 cal) - lunch - pinto Beans (250) - Snack pt chips 130 cal - 40 oz of Water so far - dinner - I am going to try some cod - I have never had it (well ya fried fish & chips) I am going to Cajun it.. :0) by putting some blacken stuff on it an bake it in my garlic olive oil - Gotta watch my last hour of Lost to - then Dancing w/the Stars.. Idol tomorrow - VOTE LEE ;0) !!!

Candice Glad you got to check in - LOL baileys w/morning coffee - he's after the alcohol - not the creamer effect lol - Patience of a saint - Older pple can be a challenge. At work but don't want to be :0) found this new way to be on site and if someone walks in - they cant tell. Karla - do you cover just dd#4 on your policy or 4&5 - Now 4 lives w/you but she older than 5 - 5 lives on campus right?? What she going to do come summer I know it's easy to tell you to drop dd #4 from your insurance - can she get something thru the State - She's 23 and not going to school is she - I thought that you could only cover kids up to a certain age and that they had to be in school full time I think plan #1 has less out of pocket doesn't it ($1,000 Max) Do you wear glasss or contact ?? if not drop the vision - dental no - teeth are expensive.. Candice - WTG on your food Phyl - What's up w/you Well need to get back to work - ugh - I rather be home watching the last hr of lost -

Good Morning Stayed up late watch Lost - just got up - so drive by :0) Karla depends on what your medical issues are and what you need done - I'll think on it.. Candice is gone to take care of Aunt & Uncle cbl

Good Morning Gang Denise so glad to hear from you... Glad school is over.. You guys get out early - our school goes to June but we don't start til after Labor Day I have a ranch that has Mahjools lol - but those are just regular date palm trees - My Dad was a date farmer :0).. They aren't decorativen - Queen Palms, Pygmy Palms & Fan Palms are what we use here in the Desert for landscaping - I have 3 queen palms in front yard w/2 fan palms and 3 queen palms in the back yard - oh ya segero (sp) palms but they have to be shaded in the summer - those are the expensive ones - I would think they would do better in your area.. I would love to have veggie garden - don't have any place to plant one - I should consider planter garden - but then I wouldn't have time for fb & lbt :0) - Hell I farm on FB every day :oO Karla - LOL on your food - well you should work those calories off today.. Just be careful of your inners.. Oh ya I saw the pic of Karri on fb (thanks for telling us Denise) it was too funny.. Well stupid dogs woke me up at 7 - Did my farming - had one cup coffee and need another. Need Dog Cat food - see what's a target - should go to bro's house - but it's depressing so don't know if I will or not - I am such a procrastinator. Well need more coffee - cbl - Have a wonderful Sunday gang Lost is on tonite - The very last show - I have been watching for 6 yrs (just heard on the new thats how long its been on) - I have watched it from day one - it's on from 7 to 11... So you know what I will be doing tonite - Finding out what the Island is about - Pergatory - Cain & Able - Good vs Bad and you can't change your destiny. cbl

Candice Hugs on the family issues - will include them in our prayers - You are a great niece!!! Enjoy your time with them - how far away are they - safe trip Thanks for the cute card :0) It was so cute :0) xoxox Janet

Congrats Linda on your new grandson !!! Since I have mostly raised Andrew - I know what you mean - but I was 36 when he was born - so I was still young - Don't know if I could do it today - hell my Brooke wears me out and she's 6.. Enjoy the family times :0)... Phyl - did you walk the .8 miles - WTG I've been tight too - I made some guacamole for lunch had about 4 or 5 chip/guacamole and was full - I did stop - Yea Janet - Hopefully you won't be tight tonite.. Well got my eyes done - I am pretty happy w/contacts now - my distant in left eye is a little off but if he fixes it I won't be able to read as well with it - so he gave me an extra one for my left eye for when I am like driving out of town - hell I don't need to see distant here - I was born here - know where I am going.. Walked around costco - got a few things - Choc Chewable Calicum w/D - sf - good - then had some pomagrainte juice - well one of the 2 - made my intestines move :0) - Think it may have been the pomogranite juice - cuz you are only suppose to drink 1 oz - I had 1 little samples - don't think it was an ounce - but after about an hr I had to use the restroom at kmart :0) I know tmi - but good to know what helps make you go - think I will go back and get that juice :0) Went to look for these sandals I got at Kmart when out of town 2 weekends ago - but they only have orange (these are the ones I got) pink and teal - I would have gotten the pink & teal - but they didn't have my size - they are really comfortable Then went and got nails done - then to Target to get Andrew his shampoo etc stuff - came home - talked to Joseph now doing my toes It's so great to be able to do my own !!! Hell before I couldn't reach them - well I could but it was very very hard.. No longer have the tummy in the way..

Hey Gang Back from the gym 3 miles burn 418 calories - WTG Janet - I don't think I have been on the treadmill for 2 weeks now.. But back in the saddle.. Here I sit at the computer - should be in the shower - I can't wait till the nail shop by Target opens up.. Karla - look for that Cabot cheese it's really good. Sounds like you are going to have a good day today - lucky you only 13 more days of work.. Phyl - Thanks - I feel so sorry for the kids.. But they have a loving family so they will make it thru.. Hope you enjoyed your Tops walk.. Candice - Next weekend is our 3 day weekend - Memorial Day to honor our soldiers who have died for us. We only Celebrate - President Lincoln's Bday and President Washington's Bday - Well schools get both off - the rest of us just get Washington's bday off - but now a days they call 2/22 Presidents day.. Well I really do have to get in the shower - will cb when I get back :0)

Good Morning Gang Up at 5 got my Ipod charging - this new one doesn't seem to hold a charge like the last one - once it's done - I will be headed to the gym.. GF Candy came by last night - So we visited - I just feel so sad for her family - I am going to make something and take it to her DD tonite - I know that those simple things mean alot - her DD is holding up so well - I talked to her for a minute last night on the phone to give her my condolences.. But with Gods help they will make it thru.. So after she left - tried some corn on the cob - I love corn on the cob - but my band doesn't like it - came back up - so ate my ck leg and little rice - that went ok - then tried yogurt - it was a slow go.. Karla where were you last night - I ck'd the thread to see if you had posted after Candy left - but you didn't ;0(.. I assume you are working this weekend at the nursery - be careful girl.. Phyl - Whats on the agenda for you today - It was windy yesterday - suppose to have the ugly wind all weekend - I haven't turned on the t.v. this morning so don't know the recent up dates - but it's breezy now.. Candice - What's your plans for the weekend - I know it's your memorial weekend and hopefully this yr you are having good weather.. Linda - Are you a new gm yet ?? How are you.. Denise - We miss you,. Steph - are you selling popcorn this weekend and next - How's Michael doing.. Well need to get dress and drink more coffee - I really could have slept in this morning ... But I HAVE TO HIT THE TREADMILL !!! OXOXO J

Good Afternoon - I tried to post this morning - but the stupid page just kept saying loading.. How cool Karla - I have a plate that was given to my great grandfather who was an attorney - it's from China - a Chinese man gave it to him (I guess my GGF won a case for him) - I know it's over 100 yrs old - My GM would be 128 today - Plus I have a green glass goblet that was my GM since she was 2. Phyl - I find eating out the hardest time to make good decision - really there aren't too many healthy food options when you eat out - hell just a salad & dressing can be 800 cal.. So you are just going to have to eat lite for dinner and go to the gym tomorrow :0) - No wine tonite :0) Ya right I know that's not going to fly ;0) - so no snacking tonite. Candice - How did you do today... Enjoyed talking w/you last night.. Well lets see any news - well sorta my gf Candy's SIL died yesterday - he was 45/47 - was at work last Sat - they don't know what happend really except he passed out - fell off scaffoling - major brain damage (brain dead) and paralyzed - Left behind wife of 19 yrs - 3 kids 18 - 16 - 13.. Very sad for the family.. She might be coming over later.. Work was ok - Food ok - BF LF Cabot Vermont Cheese & crackers 200 - Lunch Chicken thigh - 5 mentos ;0) - Dinner - will be corn on the cob bbq ck - corn on the cob and maybe some pasta - sometimes corn on the cob doesn't go down.. Tomorrow - GYM - haven't been for 2 Saturdays.. Nails - eye appointment - so far these are pretty damn good - distant in one eye (left) could be adjusted just a tad.. Need to go to bro's house and clean out some papers that are still there and see if nephew is still camping out there.. That's about it -

Each Dr is diff in his/her instructions in eating plan after surgery - some go to food right away - some have to do Clear liquids for 2 weeks - then full liquids - mushies - soft and then regular.. I had 10 days eat phase - came home from hospital on full liquids. Each of us has to follow what our doc's orders Enchillda ok choice imho as I don't think except for maybe a shrimp cocktail there aren't alot of healthy choices when eating Mexican.. W I doubt it was the fat - I think you may have over eaten or the cheese got all gummed up - sometimes with cheese that is super stringy - I will get stuck and I'm almost 3 yrs out.. I don't eat out often - maybe once or twice a month and when I do these are my treat times You have to remember this isn't a diet - but a lifestyle change - you gotta have some of your fav foods every now and then.. Oh just thought of a healthier choice - Maybe Tortilla Soup but again - when I go out - it's my treat timee I go out I eat 1/2 of my taco and 1/2 enchillad and some bean..

Karla - from the Mayo Clinic A subconjunctival hemorrhage occurs when a tiny blood vessel breaks just underneath the clear surface of your eye (conjunctiva). You may not realize you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage until you look in the mirror and find the white part of your eye is bright red. The conjunctiva can't absorb the blood quickly, so the blood is trapped under this transparent surface. A subconjunctival hemorrhage may look frightening and painful to you, but it's usually a harmless condition that disappears within 10 to 14 days. Subconjunctival hemorrhage often occurs without any injury to your eye, or it may be the result of a strong sneeze or cough that caused a broken blood vessel. You don't need any specific treatment for a subconjunctival hemorrhage. Candice - You guys my lucky #7 is and always will be my #1 thread :0) - I'm not going anywhere !!! Today has been a better day - I think the culmination of the stuff that has been going on this month has gotten me or just the blahs - who know - maybe I need more D ;0) I am feeling ok to nite.. My Dog sitter called - she's booked - so now I have to find one .. Got my contacts ck'd AGAIN tonite - have a new left eye one that I think may be it - I can read with it.. I'm a 3.something (25?? in my left eye) 2.25 in my right eye.. I go back Saturday hopefully these will be the final fit..

Sorta sad – there are only 4 regular posters left… Phyl, Candice, Karla & Me… Ya I need a break from the computer &/or limit myself – as I don’t have any me time – even if it’s cleaning up the kitchen after dinner – or watching one of my t.v. shows –I always seem to be rushing – I dvr the stuff I watch anyway – but half the time I am ff thru most of it cuz I don’t have the time to watch. I am doing too much at once and not getting anything done – half ass post – cuz in a hurry to move on to another post or fb – and then have to cook dinner – feed the animals – and try to unwind before I go to bed.. I am a person who needs my down time.. So I am going to start limiting my computer time – I guess I should have never started framville :0)… Ya Phyl that part of a dog is a pain in the tush – I am taking family on vacation the week after thanksgiving – don’t know where we are going yet – but Melissa and I both have the time off work – anyway called my dog sitter last night – she called back – she’s already booked.. So now I have to find someone to house/dog sit – have asked Debbie – haven’t heard from her – Ryder can go stay at Andrew’s mom’s house – but I need someone to watch the other 3 – Hey Candice – want to come and take vacation in Cali the week after thanksgiving – you have a free place to stay :0) – I won’t be here – but you could visit with Phyl and ck out the area :0).. Oh ya Candice – will be on you next week about exercise :0) Well forgot what else was talked about – I know you all understand that – see I read the post then opened out look and am typing post – so I can paste and cut so if anyone walks in my office they think I’m typing an emal. Oh Remembered … Phyl sorry about neighbor’s death – you know my gf Candy – well her SIL (45 ish) fell off scaffolting and has no brain activity – 3 kids 13 – 16 –18 – this happened Saturday – it’s just a matter of time – this news may have added to my mood.. Well gotta jam will cb tonite..

Good Morning Gang Took a break from the computer last night - didn't lbt or fb at all - I think it's just taking up too much of my personal time and leaving me depleted - between work - estate issues - now a title problem - but it's a mistake - but still gotta prove it - got escrow papers from when bro bought the house -glad I didn't throw them away like I was going to a few weeks ago- had to send sis letter for the signature card - just kept it short and sweet.. I have just been in pms mood this week.. I know i don't have pms anymore - but that's how I feel. Trainer bugging me w/his know it all attitude - snapped at him last night he shut up... Said I couldn't do something due to my balance issues - told him he could modify it and where was his encouragement - I am 100% better than I was 2 yrs ago.. Shut the f up - I told him I was going to cry so he better be nice - that got him to leave me alone in the neg dept.. Hope everyone has a good day.. Thanks for the receip cancide... Will try it.. Had chicken catchattori (sp) last nite really good..

Good Morning Gang Karla - I agree survivor isn't what it use to be - Glad Sandra won.. I like this season better than the last few.. Go Lee on Idol !!! I hope Casey is the one to go home tonite.. Well time to get in the shower and deal with the real world.. I like my home world better - don't have to many demands on me - but once I walk out the door... Have a great day everyone..

She's co-adminstrator - well it got done w/o too much hassle but enough- well it's not done yet gotta get the paper work to the attonery - but ya by the time it's all said and done - the account will be closed. Just when I think things are cool w/her - she does this crap - so forget about her... am stuffed should have quit eating when I was done w/my fish - but being of that clean plate club - just had to eat it all - 1/3 green beans and 1/3 rice Idol is on - cbl

WTG Phyl !!!!! yep when you do all that early in the a.m. you are motivated - you don't want to sit around the house - that's my problem - I go shopping :0) So what did you do ;o) get a puppy ;0)... Or just go visit your grandpuppy WTG Candice !! So Proud of you !!!! See you can do it!!! and yes a outfit a week is a great reward !!!! So glad you could eat veggies & salad !!!! I find I can eat almost anything as long as I eat slowly and chew ;0) Karla - I got a better cheese than that cow stuff - and it has less calories - Cabots Vermont cheese - Costco - 36 snack pack size or $8.99 and guess what only 50 calories and it taste like the real stuff !!! and then I found these crackers 16 for 130 cal - made from almonds and rice - gluten free.. I LOVE garlic hummus and it is filling too - I think I am going to try and make my own - chick peas & garlic - maybe I can make it for less calories - cuz I think 2 tablespoons is 70 calories.. Well girl you got a raise ... I haven't had one in 2 yrs (raise) - no contributions to 401k - and furloughed (lost pay) lost 2 vacation days and copay on insurance is up since I make less $$ - so don't feel like the lone ranger. On the sis issue - I had to spend an hour at the bank - cuz she wants to be on the bank account for bro estate - she doesn't want copies of bank statements from me (I don't know what she thinks I'm doing and the bank statements don't tell her who I wrote checks to) any way the stupid kid say I have to change from a personal account to a business account - he has to call someone - they tell him just give her a signature card - this kid didn't know wtf to do.. But I had to waste my time and get aggrevated cuz my sis thinks I'm a theif.. Ya like I am going to steal - like I need to - I'm not her... I told the lawyer - I was going to box it all up and say- have at it.. She said no - they have found a trustee and it shouldn't be much longer.. And I don't care how rich you are pple always bitch about how much things cost.. Pple who have $$ are tighter than those who don't - hell look at Earl - lol - jking ;0) couldn't help myself - but like Phyl says they have enough for their retirment - but he pinches every penny.. Well still no Andrew - looks like he came home - but he and dog aren't here - so me and my animals are enjoying the peace and quite w/o ryder Idol tonite - I am voting for LEE .. I like him better than Crystal... I will be happy if she wins (which I think she will - but remember last yr - Kris one over Adam)

Good Morning Gang Karla where are you girl !!!! Is everything ok... You haven't posted. Phyl - whats up with you - how did exercise go yesterday - how's the hip and tummy. Oh wanted to add that I think the winds waited til you left - more this week - and you know how much I dislike the wind - I will take the heat over the wind any day.. Candice - Another good food day !!! WTG keep it up girl Steph - Hugs we are thinking about you Denise - what's up w/you.. Not much to report - quite night - played with the dogs last night - bear likes to play fetch and angel a little bit - even sheba wanted to play.. Well time to hit the showers - hugs & luv to all Janet

Candice That's pretty much why I eat the same thing over and over - so I don't have to think about it - just do it.. You sorta eat on auto piolet - The less discussion you have to make the less room you give yourself to make excuses for eating something other than whats on plan

Good Morning Gang Karla - hopefully it's (cell phone) is at work.. It's a pain to lose your phone.. All those #'s in it.. Andrew called last night to say good nite and make sure I had all the doors locked - lol I guess he does love his LaLa.. Not much to report - watched Lost (dvr) and then caught the very end of Survivor - Glad Sandra won over Russell - he was pissed - gotta watch it tonite - well maybe - since I know who won - who really cares :0) may just delete it.. Well past time to jump in the shower CBL

Karla Ice cream is ok if you can control it - I went threw a shebert kick a while back - 1/2 c only 110 cal and you can find Dryers slow churned for 80 (vanilla only is what I have found) I am pretty good at controlling ice cream - it's candy and cookies that I have no control over.. Well for the next 2 or 3 days just me angel bear sheba - Andrew is gone to his mom's to babysit while they are out of town (think they went to San Fran) it's so nice without Ryder !!! Andrew has 3 bros 15/14/13 and lil sis 10 from his mom and stepdad - then 2 sis from DS joseph - you guys know them Ryder is like the 2 yrs olds ;0) Karla you did good substituting the bread for the pasta - wtg.. I am having green beans & tempura shrimp w/wasabe I can't belive it's 8 already - ugh work tomorrow.. since I didn't go friday - there will be hell to pay - 1 mil emails to respond too.. Well enjoyed the day off :0)

Good Morning Gang... Had fun at EWF concert - didn't get drunk ;0) really didn't drink - since I hadn't slept the night before - I had one of my allergy pills - (pesudoaphemrine) and a lite mocha frapp w/3 shots - so Friday nite didn't' go to sleep til 3 - then slept til 9:30-10 yesterday - photo shopped the wrinkles out of the pic I am going to try and post - I love photo shop - it makes me look like I think I look (no wrinkles) Then had the funeral to go to yesterday after noon - it was good to see some old friends.. Got home around 6ish - and photoshopped some more (it's very time consuming) farmed then hit the hay around 10 - up at 6:30 - have read the paper - cut my roses (dehead) cleaned up and am washing - it's almost 9 Oh ya talked to my GF Candice on the phone last night and my gf Ann who's having man problems (she the one I went to the concert with) She should have left along time ago but she putting her head in the sand.. Karla - being a teacher - I would end up in Jail.... I would have said Ya so what at least I'm a good one :0) Hows the hand this morning???? Ya aren't we all great at giving advice on our kids but sticking to it or practicing what we preach can be hard - I find if I am pissed off I can - so stay pissed off - I sure wouldn't have her home sitting on her butt all day doing nothing and coming and going as she pleased... I know that kind of thing would totally piss me off - especially after working all day coming home and nothings been done - dinner not ready. I know jobs are hard to come my now a days - but... Either you get out and work somewhere if not then keeping the house up is your work.. DD#5 you didn't see that much of her before did you?? But I know what you mean - even if you don't see them much but they are close by - but when they move away it's awful.. Well have eye appointment at noon - need to go fold clothes and put another load in. oh Food - good - 137 this a.m. so I'm happy :0) Phyl - Glad you are feeling better and had a good time w/GD loved the pic's on fb - she's a beauty... Love the dog sitting - is Earl getting any closer to wanting a dog - or is the dog sitting enough for him?? Candice WTG on your food - one day at a time. You gotta find other outlets for your stress - computer is mine I guess - photoshop - like I said takes alot of time to get the wrinkles out and fb farming - it's mindless work but keeps me occupied - I find if I sit in front of the t.v. or even reading I want to eat.. Ok attaching pic #1 is photo shopped - #2 isn't - #3 is photo shopped #4 side ways isn't - see the diff in Ann(white blouse/jeans - we've been friends since 8th grad) and Debbie (brown - been friends since 9th grade)
