hit reply scroll down see manage attachments - click that then browse to where your pics are - click up load and repeat for each picture I have been screwing around trying to upload all the pics that I never printed to kodack - cuz they are too many to burn on the cd's I have - well I guess I could do 2 cd's but I'm ready to get off the computer..

CONGRATULATIONS PHYL - I AM JUST SO PROUD OF YOU !!! You will have those 5 lbs off by the time you come to the Desert (when is that ;0) and I will make you a new T-shirt - WONDERLAND !!! SO I am going to need a new pic too :0) I know that when Joseph went to placement when he was 17 - i was so sad - but didn't want him to come home after a few months - I saw him on weekend - he was going to school - he was safe and doing good - I liked it that way..

Darling - 1st I'm going to kick your butt - you can't look 85 - and I I know I have more saggy skin that you do - my arms are awful - but 138-143 is great and hell I'm 54 (almost 55) and I have earned every wrinkle.. Let's see the pic - then I will tell you the TRUTH !! Well glad you are comfortable - it's only been what 2 weeks this Tuesday - since you had surgery - girl we just can't keep you down can we lol ... Well did the gym - Andrew got shoes - bought wedding gift - vaccummed cleaned the kitchen and trying to upload 73 pics to Walgreens - but it won't go... I guess I will save them to a disc and go to the store to print..

Karla - how old is DD#3?? You are right about him proving it.. My DIL & DS were broke up for a yr but got back together and got married - and knock wood it's still working.. Denise - Summer colds are the worse - Hugs - Did DS go camping :0) Karla you and I are twins (opening big mouths and telling it like it is) Hell I just had a dream that I got fired - but that I still had to work for 2 weeks - which is weird cuz in my job if you get fired - you leave right then and there as they don't want you to steal your renewal book (list of all your accounts) well that sorta stupid cuz if you wanted it you could have taken it anytime.. I'm with you about asking pple for $$$ - I am not good at it either.. Plus I don't know about walking for 3 days 20 miles a day - just a little too much exercise even for me :0) Ya I like your Tuna guy - my kind of guy too - good luck on that and when you post pic there you better post one here - we don't know what you look like - we need a before and current... I been up since 5:30 Angel potty time - have gym at 10 - then gotta take Andrew to get black shoes for next weekend then GF comming over at 3 so she can order some protein stuff - she's my bypass freind - has lost 125 in 1 yrs So I doubt I get a nap today - but that's ok - I can't nap like I use to (meaning I can't sleep away my weekends anymore) I might doze for 1 hr but that's it.. Karri - don't know what happen to your quote - Thankfully we don't do sissy squats often - and they don't bother my knee - sometime I can't do the machines too deep cuz my knee will act up - I agree with your trainer - you won't need her like I need mine - both Vicky & I use our hr as our physical exercise and mental health hr.... but next yr I might not be able to afford it.. So next weekend is the big walk... Can't wait to hear all about it.. Well off to ck my other thead - CBL

Well did DD#3 turn back ??? Well you got stuff done - you won't have to stop and make dinner and you don't have to go to work tomorrow - so you can get your school work done and quilt tomorrow.. I never got dressed - filled up 2 more albums done - need a few more (albums) - cleaned up the mess - for some reason back in 98 & 99 had these weird size photos had to cut to fit book. Now I am going to go thru the computer and print the ones that have never been printed - Well - that's what I am going to work on anyway - going to upload them to wallgreens to print - cheaper that way than me printing.. I like free weights better too - I find that I get sore doing free weights more than with machines - Have her have to to sissy squats - you want to talk about hard and something to make you sore !!! I agree with you on the lunges - but hell you had a hell of a time with those when we did the Wii Active ;0).... I have gym tomorrow at 10 -then take Andrew for black shoes and get wedding gift - and some more albums - then GF coming over around 3... CBL

Ok gang - I am looking at old pic's again - last time I did this was the weekend that my bro died.. I hope it's not me next.. I have portraits of me and bros - was going to hang up but need new frames - then I went to the garage and brought in pic albums - I got a woven crate thinking to put them in to keep them in the house - Found the writings of my dad's when he was on the vent before he died - my last bday card - more old pic - so I am going through this - I have a mess... Found some more slides that I need to get pictures done - Candice - just budget your calories for dinner Karla - that's has been my whole worry since I got banded 2 yrs ago - it's wasn't so much about losing the weight - and I was shocked that I got past my original goal of 170 - - My biggest fear has been keeping it off.. This is why I freak when the scales hit 143 - I allow a 5 lbs variance - but that's it - Ok back to my mess... I have birthday/mother day/xmas cards going back for YEARS... I have always kept my cards.. I have cards my DS gave Andrew's Mom - hell those are 18 yrs old now... I keep these personal things - I am like my mom in that respect... Karla - I don't do cars ;0)

Good Morning Gang.. Karla - I like Kari's idea about opening a bank account making payments to that - On the home values - that's bs.. I just got a notice that my taxes are going down again it's now based on $195,000 - it was $300,000 then last yr went down to 200,000 - I paid $271,000 with upgrades -- You can check w/your local assessors office - and find 3 comps in your area.. They have to reassess based on those comps - well that's how it's in Cali - I guess I think it's the same everywhere - but just like leash laws & child support I guess it might not be - but can't hurt to ck it out.. Angel doesn't like the pool/water - Bear will jump in sometimes when everyone is in it sometimes. Angel is to little to get out - she fell in once - she swims to the steps - but she's to little to get out .. Since they both have issues - angel knees bear hips - so they don't go for walks - I should take them in the pool for some exercise - they are both overweight and they dont eat that much.. Kari - Hugs on the emotional issues - I think we all have days that we have them - It's been a full moon - I find when I have to deal w/bro's estate - I get moody - and work too. but seem to do better when at home - I find that I can't nap like I would like to.. Yesterday after I got off the computer Nancy called her mom got her a fridge at a garage sale - so I went and plugged it back in - Now I have a nice clean fridge !!! Went food shopping yesterday evening - made green beans for dinner - had a lean cusine alfreado w/added chicken (I have a rotisserie one in the fridge) I was full all afternoon and into the evening - Karla you should try them.. Phyl Glad you had a good time w/the family !! How's the knee this morning?? My DIL called last night - she always calls on her drive home from work - She's so sweet - her Mom is coming to visit and her mom told her I know the girls like LaLa better - I guess she is always saying crap like that to Melissa - Melissa tells her quit being jealous - Hell when the girls were little Mary was around them more than me and I felt that way - but I would never voice it to Melissa - how petty. She even said - oh she has one on her gk living with her and I don't have any of mine - Well hell she can have Andrew !!! (not really) but she always treated him like a stepgrand kid - Andrew was 2 when DS & DIL got together One time she had a grandma pin - and I told her it was missing a boy angel - for andrew - this was after she got upset with my Xmas card that had a picture of Kaitlin & Andrew - LaLa's Babies... She said their mine too - well I don't think so when she didn't have an angel pin for Andrew.. Yes I'm a bitch !!! But you all knew that :0) Karri - I am glad you are walking - yep I bet your arms are sore since you mostly just run and haven't worked them :0) I bet you will find that you run better now that you are weight training My gap really didn't bother me - it was an impulse thing sort of - The dentist and I had talked about it before - They will be fine.. Well, don't know what I am doing today - tons of stuff I could do - but haven't made up my mind yet - Clean - orginize stuff like my pictures - hang picture - well need a couple more frames - well it's only 7:30 I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee have the paper read - one load of wash done another started - dishes washed - Well gang will cbl - Hugs

Candice Thanks - Like I said, I'm giving it a while - they feel funny and the top (by gums looks funny) ... Glad your camping trip was fun - Don't worry about granny in training - Hell I have 3 and after about 1-2 hrs - I've had enough... Trying to watch a movie with Brooke is impossible - yack yack yack - I have to tell her go to her room.. I had more patience with Andrew cuz I was only 36 when he was born - but now - I don't have that kind of paticence I like my peace and quite... As to putting Woody down - I am of no help -- I know that it would kill me to have my babies put to sleep - I would put it off as long as possible - as long as they weren suffering.. Phyl - So glad to hear that today is a good day and you got some good sleep !!! I guess Earl wasn't around when you had the kids lol.... He would be one of those Dad's who faint lol Well, I went to gym 3.5 miles - then came home started to clean out the garage (doggie poop) but hose had too many leaks - went and got a new one came home cleaned out the fridge for Nancy not perfect but alot better than what it was - since it's the garage fridge - it hadn't been cleaned in 5 yrs. It's very humid here - don't know the temp but it's awful - came in took a shower and sitting here with a towel wrapped around me... Karla - Hugs - it will work out one way or another - I know that if I tried to sell my house now - I would be upside down - due to the decline in values and I bought right before things really took off.. I hear on the news all the time about how mtg companies are suppose to be working with pple.. I guess your's isn't one of those.. Well, need to go eat - am a little hungry - and I have had 2 bottle of water - but need some more... cb in a bit..

Good Morning Gang.... Steph - Thanks - I am hyper critical so the top part sorta bugs me - but again - I am going to give it sometime - like I said it's fixable/reversible Karla - You can hate me with love all you want !!! LOL It' a good motivator.. I love what you said "oh who cares, at least I'm not as fat as I was, I'll take not having any clothes to wear"That was a postitive... Way to go on your deals.. I have a Marshall's and a Ross is going to be opening soon right across the street from the Marshall's - so I will be in hog heaven.. Well, I forgot to turn the alarm off - so I am up early but that's ok cuz I have to hit the gym this morning.. Didn't go on Tuesday - Only Monday & Wed - Then home to clean my house and garage - gotta get the fridge cleaned for Nancy - I don't have any plans for the 3 day weekend.. So I guess I will try and stay busy cleaning and maybe organizing pictures - even hanging some - Gotta find something to keep my busy - so I don't eat - boredom is bad for me.. I have my xdil wedding next weekend - so Andrew needs shoes and I need to get her a gift - so I guess I will be doing a little shopping -but not much.. Well drinking coffee - paper should be here in a few - CBL

Yep - You got it !!! I'm not sure about them - they look ok if you don't see the top of them - They are just bonded - not capped - it's reversible.. It feels funny - even chewing food/taste is different. I have that gap my whole life (well since I got my adult teeth) I am going to give it a while - cuz I know it's going to take time to get use to it.. I may have him drill a little out and so I just have a small/tiny gap - then maybe the top won't look so funny Plus I have a little lisps now !!!

Nope none of those - 2 pple at work noticed - but no one else has.. Guess again !!!

Ok Gang I'm Back..... 1st Yea Karri is going to walk with Steph !!! That's Great... Karla - Hugs - I can't beleive your mtg company is such a butt head - with all the foreclosures - I can't believe they won't work with you. $50 for late payment - that ridiculous. What if you just send it in short - what will they do.. I would speak to a supervisor if I were you... And start crying on the phone.. and on the dog issue - see why there should be leash laws - I would have cussed them out - shot them or something - it they just thought it was funny.. You are a competent person - you are not a failure - you are doing the best you can. I think you may be too tight - I don't know if it's the stress or not - cuz stress tightens my band up big time - but I can still usually eat - Phyl - Yea on getting the staples out.. On my band surgery I didn't have anything covering my steri strips... How's the pain - they didn't give you liquid vicodine?? They should have - I know it's a little late in telling you this now cuz it's after 5 - but that's what you need to request... It will work faster... I don't know what I would do if I had surgery now - cuz I don't like the vicodin - it makes me sick to my stomach and that sleep 20 minutes - wake up - nod off - wake up.. Linda - The pages don't back far enough but I remember you were in the dumps - Hugs - I know what you mean about the job... I feel the same way - but I gotta work - so I just do it. Hugs again - Kari - I am coming to Michigan and kick your A$$ - your food is terrible !!! What is up with that !!! You have just been on a steady down hill decline lately... What in the heck is a mountain mover - all you have had is carbs carbs carbs... Girl I don't know what I am going to do with you !!!! You need some protein - you did have a veggie !!! --------------------------------------------------------- Ok - Well Candice is off camping by herself - can't wait to hear how that went :0)... We had the surprise house warming at lunch today - Nancy was surprised - but my bosses suck big time - they gave her $100 and that's it.. We got off early 3 - went and took care of the headstone - it was cheaper at Ftizhenry's by $300 - Fitzhenry's has been the funeral home here in the desert for the last 50 yrs - but something happend and Forrest Lawn came and bought them out - Well it was still Fitzhenry when Michael died - but when I went to get the headstone it was Forrest Lawn - Any way did this back in June before Karri came - they call me right before I left for Canada - telling me they couldn't use the pic's I gave them - this is like just short of 2 months after I went there and paid them - so I said - give me my $$ back (cuz when Karri was here we went to the cementary to pay the fee to them and they said Fitzhenry was open again) So anyway finally got my $$$ back - and when to Fitzhenry's and it's all taken care of and cheaper - The pple at Forrest Lawn were cold in their little uniforms - Fitzhenry's is like dealing with family... So that's out of the way - Yes Karla my baby bro Michael died 10/13/08 - he was just 50 - he was sick with a cold/peunoma (sp) - and wouldn't go to the hospital - my step bro saw him saturday - and on monday called him got no answer just busy signal so he went over there and found him dead - cause of death enlarged heart - copd - obesity... The coronor said that he most likely had died on Sunday.. It's very sad to know that he died alone and couldn't breath.. This is what's causing the issues w/my sister - Michael - Jimmy (died in 99 @ 43) and I have the same parents - My sis is from my mom's 1st marraige - we (me & bro) inherited some $$ - sister didn't get any (not my fathers child and they had been divorced 30 yrs - he made his $$ w/my step mom) She said that Michael had told them that he wanted Hoss (her son) to get his estate - Well there was nothing in writing - so at 1st we didn't think there was a will - so estate would have gone to me - marilyn and my 2 nephews (bro jimmy's boy since jimmy was dead) Well they (sis/bil) were in an uproar cuz the 2 nephews would get something but not their son - I said it's the law - it's cuz jimmy's dead - if marilyn was dead then her kids would get it... Well we found a will that he made in 96 when he was crazy on drugs - he left everything to charity (cancer/lung/boys & girls club) he though he was howard hughes - he thought my dad was that rich - we aren't that rich - in fact the ranches will be broke next year - still own land but - you know what that's worth now a days... Well after we found the will and went to the attonery who wrote it - we were in the parking lot and my sister tells me we should have burned it... Then she tells me she wants to be co-adminstrator - why I don't know she has nothing to do with the Ranches - only me and my step bro do - she tells me Michael didn't like me or trust me (my bro had a mental issue from drugs and it was a family joke that he thought I owned strip malls in Hawaii) and talked about my dad's precious $$$ (operative word my dad). So that's when I figured out it was all about the $$ - and that stuff I had heard (she was always mad that my dad didn't remember her in his will) was true - I never beleived it cuz - but come to find out it is... She lives up north has never done crap didn't paid for carp I did it all - I bought all the food / beer soda etc for the week everyone was here - I'm the one who paid for the funeral / flowers etc - she never pulled out her ck book. Then she want's copies of the bank statements (of the estate) - so I take my time photocopy the and mail them - well that's not good enough she want's copies sent directly from the bank.. Ok so she thinks I'm stealing - So more work involved in calling the bank and setting this up.. So come to find out she get $$ for doing nothing cuz she is co-administrator - I'm the one who clean up the house - I'm the one who pays the bills and goes to the lawyers - I'm the one who went to feed the cats - I'm the one who put the house up for sale = I'm the one who had to go order the headstone and deal with all that - her son is living free in the house (well that's about to end per the lawyer and he should have never been allowed to in the 1st place - but I wasn't going to say no cuz then I would have been a bigger bitch than they think i am) So there's the history in a nutshell - most likely more than you wanted to know - but there have been other issues from the past - my sis is a mean person she's 60 yrs old - and I am done - I'm not getting into tit for tat with her - I would never tell her what Michael said about her and her family - he wasn't always in his right head - one night he called me and told me I killed my dad & stepmom.. That he had nightmare about our bro jimmy.. So I will be glad when the estate is settled and then I am done - we haven't talked since June - she lives near my son - but when I went in July - I just didn't feel like being fake and acting - they drink alot and she's a mean drunk - so I just didn't go by and see them - Well, enough about my family drama :sneaky: Ok let's see if anyone notices the difference.

Ok - since i am doing pictures here's the fur children - my babies bear - angel - sheba - and the kittens !!!!

Ok here you guys go... What did i have done...

Drive by post... Just to let you know I am alive and well - don't want anyone worrying... I had to go to funeral home and talk about another headstone - then to target to get the house warming - bread (so your home will never know hunger) Salt (so that life may always have flavor) Wine (So that joy and prosperity fill your home for a lifetime) Broom ( to sweep away your troubles) . Then I had to wrap - cook dinner - feed the dogs and I just didn't feel like getting on the computer - went to bed at 8:30... So I will let post pic's tonite - no I am not puffy or bruised... I doubt you all will even notice :0)... No sure I like it - but it's reversable I gotta get back to work :0) Phyl - you are far from a whimp !!!! I think you are a very strong woman... Karla - German - Dutch - American Indian (Mom's side) English - Irish - French maybe some scott (Dad's side) My Grandma on my Dad's side was born in England came here when she was 2..

Good Morning Gang.... Candice :biggrin: 173 SO HAPPY & PROUD OF YOU !!! :tt1::thumbup::tt2::thumbup: Solo Camping - OMG - Just you and the dog - I guess you do know how to make a statement - but I would have had a gf come. I don't know if I would go alone !!! Karla Hugs on the pain issues - maybe it's the combination of stress of being back to work and being on your feet - it's diff than what you did at the nursery and yard. I use jasimine rice everynight - I even have jasimine brown rice - I just can't get use to the brown rice - It's ok - but I like the white stuff better.. I do alot of left overs for lunch - in fact today it's left over steak - in the a.m. I am not hungry for lunch so I don't know what to take if I haven't planed the night before.. Karri Your school concept is alot like our alternative school here in the desert - the diff is that ours if for kids who don't do well in the reg school setting (Andrew for example ;0) and yours is for the ones who excel and those who don't - If I remember correctly it's mostly composed of those who excel more - So glad you are enjoying it... How's the running going? Did you do a marathon in TX What's your weight ??? I'm 140 - so I'm happy was 143 earlier last week and was crying the blues about it- that's my top number - that's the number when I start freaking at my happy weight is 138-143 If I stay at 143 for too long then I really start watching those handful of nuts - I haven't boughten any and don't plan to for a while.. Been shopping lately ??? Phyl - How are you doing today - Great on the mentor thread is going to have knee replacemnt 10/5 - stop by and talk to her - she's freaking a little cuz when they ask about you I said you were haveing some pain issues.. Denise Have a great labor day - are you going camping is ds coming ??? Kari What are your plans for the 3 day weekend?? No soda/pop ok :0) Linda What are you guys doing for the weekend - I haven't watched the news much - but have heard clips that fire should be contained shortly.. Ok off to work - I'm glad it's Thrusday - I don't have any plans for the weekend - maybe debbie will come over - we will watch movies - swim (but right now it's so hot & humdid that the pool feels like a bathtub) cbl

Hey there gang !!! OMG my DD is back on 9/2 just like she promissed !!!! So glad to have you back Back from the gym - just washed Bear & Angel - bear has some skin crud... Phyl gald to hear today was a better day and the pain wasn't so bad Kari - If you weren't all so far away - I would be asking for lamps - stuff you don't use anymore.. But thanks for the kind thoughts I just felt so good that I was able to help yesterday - Not that I need a pat on the back - I know you all do that you can to help others - Candice - awe thanks Well this is a drive my it 7:45 and with the whole dog bath thing I am behind - I think I am having steak tonite - I want some bloody red meat - even if I have to cook it on my george foreman and not the bbq I am going to post a pic tomorrow to see if you can tell what I am getting done tomorrow... Oh I love it the suspends - I'm not telling anyone - only my doc - nurse and I will know - I want to see if anyone notices... So I will leave you all wondering - you won't know till tomorrow nite when I get home.. Oh ya had a talk with lawyer today - ugh - gotta get headstone tomorrow - and take ck book to accountant to do an accounting - and hopefully estate will be closed soon - then my sister or the charities can take over as trustee of his trust - cuz I am done.. Do you know next month will be one year since my bro died.. I thought of that yesterday - I know it's only Sept but 10/13 will be here in 6 weeks - I can't beleive a yr has gone by.

Karla - Vit D & Sun Shine - you need one of those lamps for the winter - it would be a good investment Good Morning Gang !!!! Dentist today - gym and that's it...

Phyl Hugs - I would think the oxycond (sp) would take care of the pain - I hear that's some powerful stuff - maybe you should call the doc - I know you arent' a baby when it comes to pain - so I think you should tell your doc that you need something stronger... Glad Earl got out for a bit and that Tracy came over.. Karla - I forgot to congrat you on the 2 lbs WTG.. On the shots - I would get your blood tested 1st - you can buy the sub lingual b12 to take and lapband vitamins too or any good chewable ones - due to our eating less food is the reason that we need to make sure we take our vitimans (I am terrible at it - but getting a little better I forgot today though and they are right on my desk - I have lap band multi chewable watermelon flavor - so far they are my fav - cinnamon chewable calcium w/d and b12 tables that you let dislove under your tongue) Kari has adrenal gland fatigue - I don't think she took any vitamin and when she got tested all her #'s for vititman were bad bad bad - her doc said that her gland got stressed due to the rapid weight loss - (what I read on the subject is that it's can be due to stress and thyroid issues and that doc disagree about it and what cause it) Anyway - I would try over the counter stuff 1st - but again they are going to cost you about $50 when all said and done - but it would include other necessary vit too... Candice - Ya girl 2000 calories - well - it was your bday so it's allowable - :0) Back on track tomorrow... Love the list - it's so true.. We have a little girl (well 23 yrs single mom and son has some leg issues/handicap or whatever the new pc word for that is) Well she just bought a house - got the keys yesterday - but has nothing to put into it - no beds etc - she got rid of all that when she moved back home with mom a couple of years ago... So I gave her some $$ to day to help turn on the utilities and then I went to her supervisor and said we need to have everyone donate stuff they have that they don't need - I am giving her my fridge that's in the garage - I really don't need it - we just keep water - soda - beer - wine in it.. So we are having a house warming for her Friday - its' a surprise - she was so thankful for the $$ I gave her - she was crying and me too - I told her that I was glad to be able to help - she has worked hard in getting this house and I know how tough it is to be a single mom - and that I was lucky I had my dad to help me and that she doesn't have that - so I am glad that I can help her... We have asked our bosses to give an early Xmas present - we (office) gives to the less fortunate instead of having an Xmas Party - we asked that they give to her this year and do it early Xmas in September - they gotta meet on it but hopefully they come thru with some $$$ so she can buy some mattresses !!! Anyway I went to Target and got an ironing board - iron and a set of pots and pans (on sale for $35) and a ladies tool kit (hammer - screw drivers - measuring tape wrenches etc that are pink) If just feels so damn good to be able to help someone like her - she is just the sweetest little thing a good worker a good girl who's trying to improve her & her son's life - I just love the hell out of her..... I have vacuumed and paid bills (I won't be going shopping on this long weekend ;0) fed the dogs - made the kittens a new bed - they kept getting out of the box that Andrew made (he cut a door in it - men and doing dumb stuff - the box is only 6 inches high so mommy can get in and out w/no problem and didn't need the doorway) and the kittens kept getting out so found a box in the garage that my pool lounger came in and made them a new bed without a door so the kitten can't escape and have more room to crawl around in - their eyes are opening well all but one have opened... So that's my escapades for this evening... I am off to go cook my fish and watch some tv... Hugs & Love to you all !!!!

Oh Phyl - sorry about the pain - I wish I could help in that department - just don't let the pain get so bad - just take your pain meds every 4 hrs or whatever the instructions are - Oh I don't know why I am telling you this - you are a nurse - so listen the the advice you would give :0)... I agree with Earl about Alisha .. Ya Kids !!! It's all about them..

I try - but you don't listen to me !!!! No soda's no sugar - meat & veggies for the week - step away from the carbs and keep on peddleing :0) Hugs

Good Morning Gang... Candice - Glad you had a good birthday !!!! Really good for your calories especially on your Bday :0).... Steph Kids - well we survived them and so will you - I know it doesn't seem that way. I am on my 2nd round - so I have double the experience :0) Denise - What time did he walk in??? How's your Mom Phyl - Just take your pain meds and elevate that knee - I know how hard this must be for you... You never sit still.. Glad the prune juice worked - I will have to get some - and try it... I will have to ck out FB to see what you are talking about - but Alissia needs to remember those famous words we have all spoken and heard through out our lives "as long as you live under my roof you gotta follow my rules" don't like it move the heck out Karla - Hope you can find the $$ for the gym - Elliptical is hard for me it hurts my knee - my knees seem to be going - didn't bother me at 250 but at 140 the flare up every now and then. Will keep good thought for DD#4 getting that job. Since you hardly didn't eat - why didn't you allow yourself some more meat & carrots - But hear ya on looking forward to a meal and can hardly eat it - It's a band thing - it's your band doing it's job - it's hard to appreciate it when you are hungry but physically full.. But that's why we got it - cuz we needed it - Well this is what I keep telling myself anyway :frown: Linda - I haven't really watched the news - it's off by the time I sit down and then in the morning always seem to miss the 1st 10 minutes when they report on this stuff - Hope Tim is safe... Kari - I have to go to the dentist today - but I am going before there are major problems - I have a cavity in my #13 (about where Linda's was) between the teeth - (well at least I see a brown spot and the tooth is acting up to a degree not much but sensitive) Well, girls have a great day - I gotta get butt in gear

Steph We have to trend softly when giving advice - So I am glad that you didn't take what Kari said the wrong way - It is with love that we give this advice and some of it comes from us being a bit older too.. I am glad that you are easing up on the babysitting responsibilities - I know that alot fell on Kaitlin when they lived here and Mom worked - she was responsible for Brooke and that's not her responsibility she didn't have the baby and parents need to understand that the older kids shouldn't shoulder the brunt of it - That why I was glad I was here to help - I picked them up and made dinner for them a couple of nights a week and on the weekends always told Kaitlin if she had something to do I would watch Brooke so that she could go... It's a 2 way street - I would give Michael other chores to help pay off his debit - wash the cars - clean the kitchen - bathrooms etc.. But I totally understand why you don't want to be at home right now and seem busier than when you worked :0) I think the family counseling will be beneficial to all of you Linda - I woke Andrew up when I got out the shower - he was sick and didn't go.. So I ended up at Target @ 8:15 til 10:30 then laid around till my Sucky concert at 7.. My new space is my really my old space before we moved to the other wing - ya - I am back in the groove - On Mondays I am all by myself as the other lady who works Paul's account works part time (she's off Monday & 1/2 Tuesday) so it's ok and she will be gone for 3 wks on vacation starting next week so it's all good.. Karla - I know what you mean about how fast your morning goes - especially if I have to iron in the mornings - which I have to do most mornings cuz I don't iron on the weekends :0).. Well, just got off the phone with DS & Family - they are on their way to Dinner for Melissa's bday today... Wish I was going Steak sounds good - but alas I'm having fish til I get gas for the bbq - that's another man thing I hate doing :0).. Phyl - Hope you are feeling better today - Hugs.. OK going to go feed the dogs and me and finish my book - it's gotten really good - but I still don't like the way this guy writes - to verbose and flower for me - but love the story it's self (Pat Conroy wrote Prince of Tides) CBL

Phyl Hugs Hugs Hugs !!! Pain is a terrible thing and the meds do usually just put you to sleep (at least they do for me) me and vicidon don't get along - so I feel for you - it makes me sick to my stomach !!! How did the pt go !!! Darling there is nothing wrong with 54 !!! I'm 54 !!! headed for 55 !!! Now that's going to be a werid # - thinking about it is depressing and look you have a whole nother yr til you get there !!! Love the Pictures - you look the same !! Karla - The car is a replacement you have coverage (well most policies I would have to read yours) but it would be covered.. We won't talk about food yesterday had soapa (sp) pasta mex style... He woke up sick - didn't go - I went target at 8 then just laid around the house until we went to the MJ concert which SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED... We left early and so did a whole bunch of others Darling don't worry about the weight right now - you aren't eating and moving and are retaining all that water - ducolax is the best for the tmi subject.. Denise Hugs why are you pbing??? Liquids Steph - You are very stressed right now - I know it makes my band tight !!! Hugs and yes I get you on someone else being the bad guy.. Linda Belated Happy Bday to Cora - Sorry about your mom - I am reading Pat Conroy new book - your mom sound like one of the characters in the book - and xnun who got married.. A real piece of work... Ok gang just a pop in - As I said my concert sucked big time - didn't do anything thing put watched tv - Andrew and I did watch this movie - Wes Craven's House on the left - something like that - it was violent but ok.. I gotta jump in the shower - talk to you all later
