You guys are too kind - Really... Well went to bed around 10 - Andrew is freaking cuz he can't find his keys - when I woke up aren't 1 - he thinks his stepdad is going to be mad - they have to be around here somewhere. I can't sleep !!!! it's 3:30 AM

Thanks Gang !!!! I feel better already... Felt good to vent and the ice cream is not calling my name.... I may have a tad later but maybe just some popcorn.. I feel really silly about this little stuff getting to me.. And in the whole scheme of things - these are really minor problems.. But like you said - sometimes its the small stuff that sends you over... I am going to the gym in the morning - and will eat as best as I can for breakfast (mex restaurant - Mundo most likely) and drinks - well right now I don't feel like drinking so don't think I will have a problem with that.. Denise - Hugs - hope they get your Mom fixed up - See you have ton's more real issues than me - and found out just a while ago (gf called who's my supervisor) that the office manager (who is a freind too but since she got power she's changed) is going to let me have my files by the windows where I want them. Phyl - You are right - I am at least aware and no I won't continue - I have already stopped !!! Thanks !! Karla - Sorry about the pbing - Hugs !!!! Like I said my problems are nothing compared to yours and I really feel like a heel for complaining... So thanks for understanding... Well it's 9:18 - going to go watch some t.v. and eat some popcorn Talk to you all before I go to the gym tomorrow... Thanks again girls - I really appreciate the love !!!

Karla - Know all about heart not in it any more!!!! Carbs do tend to make you want to eat more - I can't elimenate them like little Karri - but I do limit them to dinner only most of the time - and again carbs to me are starches - I eat fruit and I don't count them as carbs... Yep your scales will move and I understand how frustrating it can be - but just keep being that little train - I know I can I know I can and you will lose the rest of the weight.. Hugs about the X WTF you get your Fav student back - OMW Hugs Hugs Hugs - Stay as far away as you can from food - that's enought bad news to cause you to eat... [ Phyl - OMW I think you need to try another sleep study place - that's just doesn't sound right... You were at 9 now 12 no way jose... Ok Karla you can't read this part - cuz I don't want to give you permission to slit your wrist=eat - But I have to fess up here.. Ok Gang ANOTHER BAD DAY !!! 1ST Andrew won't wake up this morning (he stayed home last night so I don't know why) so I go to make my salad for lunch - find that Andrew put the defrosted ground beef on top of my lettuce and blood has dripped into my lettuce - so nothing to take for lunch !!! Said oh you can call Karen's and have one delivered - so you will be ok - Andrew still won't get his A$$ out of bed - so I say F it and leave for work - go out to the car - click click click - won't start !!!!! Call AAA they jump me - 1/2 hr late to work.. Ok I am at work now and GF comes to give me hug - I start crying - just so pissed about this whole move issue - placement of filing cabinets - car issue !!! So 11 call Karen's to order my salad for lunch - The are closed for vacation !!!! Ok well decided I would go to the taco shop and get a mexican shrimp cocktail - go out to the car at noon - it starts - go get my cocktail - get in the car to go back to work - CLICK CLICK CLICK !!! So call AAA again (3rd time in less than 24 hrs) it took them about 45 min to come - I have my shrimp cocktail that I just want to throw away cuz I have totally lost my appetite.. Well this guy comes - he's good gives me some read out - my GF Candy comes and follows me to the shop that yesterday said my battery was ok that I must have left something on - Well - they believed me now since I have this print out (think yesterday it was close to closing and they didn't want to deal ) So get back to work - again 1/2 hr late... Then have this 4.4 mil building that insurance expires on at midnite tonite - boss come and wants me to do this and that - well at 3:45 I see I have the info I needed on this 4 mil bldg so I email to underwriter - tell my boss he says oh they are there to 7 or 8 - well hell it almost 7 back there (florida) So I call as I am waiting for call to go thru I start crying - it' 4 (that's when I get off work) I have to get this blding insured - I still have to finish packing my desk and then go pick up car.. I talk to some other underwriter as the one my boss had talked to is gone for the day - they say they can't help me - so I had him the phone - he tells me it will be ok - so I go to finish packing my desk - then he comes in at 4:20 and tells me I have to do something on the website to bind coverage - well I have signed off and unplugged my phone and my computer is dead - and I have to leave soon to get car - so go to his computer can't do what I am suppose to do cuz there is an underwriting hold on the account. By now it's 4:30 and no one is there to take my call - so Boss just tells me to email them and tell them coverage is bound.. Please pray for no fire this weekend.. Well most of you would say you deserve to come home and have a stiff drink or 2 ... Well alcohol isn't my drug of choice - food is - candy at this point - Karla - now stop reading - I went to wallgreens - got a giant Hershey w/almonds and 2 pints of ice cream - one cake batter w/choc frosting marble in it (doesn't that sound delicous) - and I think the other was cookie dough (price is what drove this 2 for $4) Now remember I am still carrying around my shrimp cocktail that I never ate for lunch - instead I had this GREAT Peanut Butter Protein cookie that I just got with my order of vitiman (proti bp cookie 15 grams pt 160 calories it big soft and very good) Well, I decide I want tacos - so I make me 2 cocktail size tacos (300 cal max) the proceed to eat the candy bar (570 calories):thumbup: and the ice cream is still in the freezer.. Calorie wise - I have had only 1030 for the day(so far)- but I am unhappy with myself - for turning to food for comfort - I guess I could have taken a Xanxa instead... But which is worse - alcohol - candy - drugs.. But in all reality - these things that are happening arent that bad - I have dealt with worse in the last 2 yrs - why is some that as stupid as the car & moving issue got me all messed up.. Heck - it's not like I'm broke like Karla - her $$$ problems are real problems - the car is fixed - I had the $$ - the move well it's it what it is and I thought I was ok about it - til the last 2 days.. Whats' going on - why am I reacting like this... Well your little food cop - idea band mama - the preacher of not turning to food - fell flat on her frigging face today ... I am sorry about whinning about nothing - when some of you have so much more important issues that you are dealing with - I know this intellectual - I keep telling myself - Janet this is nothing - pple have it way worse than these stupid little inconveniences... You guys are the only ones I have to compain too... So thanks for listening - I know I'm blessed and shouldn't be feeling sorry for myself - but I am - tomorrow will be a better day !!! Meeting another GF who I haven't seen in months for Breakfast - then have to take Andrew car in as it needs a battery - then Nails - and tomorrow nite going out - pre concert party at gf down the street - cocktails & finger food then Grandfunk Railroad at 8 - Then Sunday I need to go to work to set up my office (well may be - why do it on my time) Ok - that's my sad tale of woes... Thanks for listening !!!!

Well it's official - stress tightens the crap out of my band Here are my stress for the day... #1 This whole moving to the other side - I get a 19 yr old desk which is an L shape -I have a U shape now - So loosing tons of work space and can't figure out how I am going to set up my desk and work - Also it's quite where I am now and my office is about 20 x 20 and I am moving into a space 6x6. #2 The stupid office manager is now telling me I can't have my files on the outside of my cubical cuz she doesn't want the lady who sits next to me to have her's on the out side cuz her's are higher and she doesn't like her and said it's not fair to the others to block the windows (it wouldn't bother anyone cuz it's just the 2 of us on that side of the office) and then in case of fire and we need to jump out the windows (we are on the 2nd floor) - well mine are the same height as the bottom of the window.. So why can't she just tell the other lady no and let me have my files right outside my work space instead of all the way around the front.. It's a whole power trip - she's new just promoted to this position and she's totally changed!! #3 Leave work get in the car and the stupid battery is dead. So call Andrew tell him I will be late picking him up from work (we are car pooling now that he has a suspended license) he sounds like I am inconveniencing him.. Well AAA comes - tells me I have a dead cell - and gives me a jump - they do have a battery replacement program but they didn't have one to fit my car.. Have Andrew call the dealership they tell him they don't close until 5 - but I had to be there by 3:30 if I wanted them to replace my battery .. Well, there is a good news here - picked up Andrew and went to the Good Year store where I get stuff done - ask them if they have a battery for my car - they said ya - so we go inside and wait - they come in an tell me my battery is fine - something must have been left on (what I don't know) but it's fine. Well now get this - one of the mechanics my age was flirting with me... I said something about the age of the battery and he said something that things still work even when they are old :confused: - I was a little shocked when I realized he was flirting.. But it felt kinda nice - I did look cute today - black cigarette leg ankle pants - as black/white geometric strapless blouse with a white shrug and 4 inch wedge black patient heels... So I was lucky I didn't have to buy a new battery (it's in my trunk and it looks expensive). I did say thank you to God #4 Then took Andrew to look for a new bedspread - went to Marshall's and was lucky he found one right away.. but shopping w/him is a pain in the ass and he was moody on the ride home.. Came home was going to sit and watch the soap (AMC Candice ) with Andrew (yes I have him hooked on AMC since he was 11) and made some popcorn cuz I was hungry - Well I PB'D ON POPCORN !!! I HAVE NEVER PB'D ON POPCORN.. Karla I forgot to speak to your hungriness ... It happens some days you can eat a horse - and you want more - and other days you aren't as hungry - Carbs can and sometime do fuel the need/want for more food - but not always... I just try and stay as busy as I can and away from food when I am in that kind of mood... No Sheba's a tabby (I think that's what they are called) red stripped cat (attaching picture) I think she's pg by this big white sizeme (sp) looking cat... When is she going to have these babies - she's FAT !!!!! Everyday I come home expecting to find kittens - but not yet.. I am concerned cuz she's so young.. Glad that your Dad is on the mend and hope he get's to come and visit you... Phyl - How did your preop visit go... Linda - Where are you - working on the firepit ?? Did the coffee pot get fixed?? How was your day w/Cora... Denise - Have they found out whats wrong with your Mom's tummy? Candice - How was MH to drive?? When are you taking your 1st trip?? Where are you going to visit Linda

It's really quite today - Phyl had pre-op Knee surgery visit today - Kari is gone to Florida - Linda where are you - Denise is at school - Karri is working her butt off - no time for us :0).. Steph is gone on vacation - Don't know what Karla's doing - must be stringing more fence or quilting..

Stacy I agree 100% with the other advice that has already been posted.. Again it's all about eating healthy (not eating what you ate prior to being banded - heck our normal eating is what got us fat in the 1st place), following the band rules (protein 1st - eat slowly - chew - tiny bites - low fat - sf to limited sugar, carbs starches) and PHYSICAL ACTIVITY/exercise.. Are you keeping a food diary - are you counting calories - losing weight is all about the math - less calories consumeed - extra calories burned You just gotta get your mind wrapped around eating healthy and following the band rules - the weight will come of - but you do have to be able to eat...

Restless - EXCELLENT !!!!

Phyl - I agree with you that type of comment is just more incentive to get those 60 lbs off - I know that's what inspired me was the stats of only being able to lose 50-60% of our excess weight - they are saying that fat chicks can't do it (lose more) - That's really dissing us.. And I will not be dissed - I will prove you wrong... Love your positive additute but that's what I have always loved about you !!! You are determined - positive - loving and giving !!!! Hugs & continued Prayers Denise !!!! Karla - I knew that you would get the most from the site - since you are always looking for foods to eat - did you sign up to it - if you do you will get weekly emails - ck out the rest of the receipts... I would have used ground turkey (extra lean) instead of the hamburger which they quoted at 93% extra lean.

Good Morning Gang I started to post but Debbie called and she wanted to talk - so I didn't get off the phone til like 8:20 and I still had not eaten - and computer went into sleep mode... Well last night treadmill 3 miles 400 calories gone - went to Marshalls - as I just remembered I have a wedding on 9/12 (Andrew's Mom is getting married to her DH - They have been together for 16 yrs and have 4 kids) so I had to get a dress (you know we always need new stuff for weddings - it's not like my closet isn't full enough and I don't have anything to wear - but love that excuse ) Any way got one dress on clearance and the other NY Jones for $39 - Phyl yep I know you love Sheba - and yes she is a little slut !!! Happy 45th Anniversay - Earl is one lucky man that you haven't killed him by now... No really - that's just fantastic that you guys have been together that long!!! Karla no problem on the mix up - I know you have a few dogs and cat - but I can't remember thier names - heck I have a hard enough time remembering mine Girl just cuz the scale doesn't move doesn't mean you need a fill !!!! The only thing that dictates a fill is your portoin size. Here's something weird that we have talked about before - the week that you exercise your butt off - the scale doesn't move - but then the following week you don't get any exercise and the scales drop drastically.. This is how my body works - the weeks that I work my butt off - it doesn't show up - but does when I have slowed down. How's your food been - have you benn compensating with extra calories due to the extra exercise?? You need the energy so just make sure you are eating healthy - I have gym to nite - I know I have to fuel my body to do my weight work out so I don't fade half way thru - So bf yogurt/granola - salad/protien lunch - 2 cheese (lite skinny cows 50 cal for one little disk) and wasa crackers = 160 calories snack around 3:30 - Protein and healthy carbs. Karla Have fun visting your Mom - I too am a organ donor... Well gang gotta get to work - cbl

Well there's another job for him - making urns - a great way to sublement his retirement income - load them up in the RV and drive around selling them.. Pple do surpirse you sometimes - glad she did say thanks... Well since Sheba's really Andrew's Cat - wouldn't I be a great grandma :0) SHEBA - :wub: :thumbup: She's a little hoochy mama - she's not even a year - she was most likely born early Sept - we got her 10/19 and I think she was barely old enough to be with out her mom... I think everyone here - beside's Karri is to old to have anymore babies - and she doesn't want any... So our lucky Karla Sheba is a Kitty that Andrew brought home the day after my brother died - he knew I was in no shape to get into it with him about another animal... Both dogs are fixed (Angel the poodle/female & Bear/Pom/Male)- The pet store where they were purchased made you fix them it was in the cost of the dog... You got your exercise in girl... I have one bra from VS - I am small 34/deflated C - their bras are more for the girls who have young perky boobs... Plus I don't like paying $45 + for a bra - I like the buy one get one 1/2 off or free - My jc penny bra's give me a nice cleavage

:wub:Good Morning Gang.. Happy Tuesday !!!! Denise - Hugs on Mom !!! Ya works a B isn't it - too bad we aren't filthy rich and didn't have to do it - but I guess in a way we have to count our blessings - we do have jobs (even if they are the pits) so many have lost them. Well this is what I keep trying to tell myself anyway :0).... Phyl 10 lbs away from onderland - OMG We are going to have to throw a party !!!! I just am so proud of you and all the work you have done to get to where you are today... I haven't really done my Wii since Kaitlin was here and what was that around the 1st of July - I did the wii resort but that's more games - Karla - Yep things have a way of working out - On that Duke bill- that would be the 1st one that I would lower the payments on by 1/2 - if money were that tight for me. Yep stringing a fence is considered exercise - you would die here in the desert :0) - I think it's going to be 110.. You need a new bra !!!! The girls are important to be up where they should - it makes you look thinner !!!! All bosses are the same way - they ask for your opinion then totally discount them.. I am not my bosses fav person cuz I speak my mind.. Well gang not much to report on - same old same old - home - work etc... Oh did I tell you all that Sheba is PG - Andrew finally took her to go get fixed while I was in Canada - and they said sorry - it's too late and she is too far along - I thought she was looking a little fat... So 2 weeks after delivery -in she goes to get fixed - she's so young (under 1 yr) that I am a tad concerned on how she's going to handle it (Motherhood/delivery) but it will be natures way.. My DGD Brooke missed her 1st day of kindergarden yesterday - she woke up at 3 a.m with it coming out both ends... Melissa was leaving for the airport then to go to Denver (has some Nurse thing continuing ed or something) so Joseph had his hands full - he ended up taking her to the er - they gave her a shot and it stopped - I talked to her last night she was feeling better - I think they are keeping her home today and she will go tomorrow.. Well that's about it for now.. Better get my but in gear.. TTYL

Phyl - You have the greatest sense of humor !!! You have me lmao !!! 7.4 in 3 weeks - That's like the most you have lost in that short of time isn't it - your ticker is private so I can't check - but regardless - that is phenominal !!! Especially since you weren't home - for me being out and about and tempted by more food is harder for me to make the smart choices. You use to be able to find those bras years ago - so much eaiser - but I don't see them anymore - maybe for a 32 A but that's about it - It must be about the support issues.. Ya $75 buck for a bra is a bit much (mystic)- it would have to take away my back fat roll (well really saggy skin) and feel like I wasn't wearing one for me to fork out that kind of $$ Your hummus sounds really good - I think I have a can of ck peas in the cupboard - I may just have to make some dip but don't need the chips after my Saturday treats.. To day I had fruit for BF - salad for lunch w/chicken and a cup of my new fav thing (french press coffee) at 3 and 1/2 banana at 4:30- Well thought the coffee would get me thru the workout tonite - Idrise said you didn't eat well today did you (I rarely fade during my leg exercises) and I said no - I just had salad for lunch cuz of the treats I had on Saturday.. He said ya I can tell - But I did the hard part (leg presses 200 lbs and then lunges) and I did recover after a bit..

Who really cares about this whole subject - IMHO there are more important matters than spelling - being grammatically correct and punctuation - this is lbt not a college class on writing skills.. As long as you get your point across in a post - that's all that matters.. If pple don't like how you write they don't have to read it..

Hey Gang !!!! Drive by post - took me 1/2 hr just to catch up... Phyl :thumbup: WTG CONGRATS 118 LBS GONE !!!!!:wub: Heck those capri's are going to be long pants on you - I think since they are wide legs they could be pushed up easy enough... Phyl those Oprah bras are like $75 - I would wait a while to invest in those - I have some from JC Pennys that I love - like 30 bucks a piece and sometime buy one get one 1/2 off.. Are you coming home after the hospital - or going to a rehab place for a week?? How long in the hospital?? Karla - Alot of pple go to the salvation army type stores for their in between clothes... Good girl on getting your walking in - and yes taking today off if you are in pain is good idea - but tomorrow - do at least a 2 mile walk - Hugs on the $$ - wish I could tell you where to find some :0). Do you have a 401 k - you can borrow from that... Linda - to fricking funny trying to fix coffee pot - hell for $20 bucks go get a new one - I found a big french press at Marshall's yesterday for $9.99 - heck at bed bath and beyond they want $50 !!! I got it for a gift for my gf candy.. Thanks for the completment - as you know I was morbitly obese - but I do have to say I really do feel comfortable in my body right now - this is who I was under all that weight - this was the body I had in my minds eye... I truly do beleive in happy weight (a maintainable weight) I got to where I am by just following my healthy lifestyle - which does allow for life happening (treats) not just everyday... As you all know that my original goal was 170 - then 160 and was afraid to even write 150 so left it at 160.. I even went out to eat Sat for lunch 3/4 of 1/2 of a quesdilla hamburger from Applebees and 2 onion then a while later we went to my fav yogurt place and had 8 oz of frozen yogurt for 160 calories then had chineese for dinner and a bowl of ice cream.. But yesterday - back to healthy and today too - 1 day a week isn't going to make us gain 100 lbs back - we just have to be mindful of what we put in our mouths... You look fab just the way you are - and if you ever get your TT there would be 10 lbs (guessing) of weight gone. Candice - I agree with everything Linda said - are you happy where you are - or do you want to lose some more - that's the real question.. Stupid little girl !!! Denise - the cassolle was great... Well like I said - drive by post - I gotta get back to work... Hugs... J

Linda - Bear did that cough thing - I even took him to the vet one sunday but they were closed - it ended up clearing up - it took about 5 days - It was the same thing like trying to cough up something - it started about a week after his boosters - I read that the shots could do that - but a week later.. I don't think yesterday it got to 100 -today suppose to be only 100 - that's unusual for August here in the desert - but I'm not complaining :0) I would throw the pot out and get a new one - I made coffee only once last week in my reg pot - I need to get a bigger press cuz I just got the little one - well that's not one full cup of coffee.. I am addicted now to it.. It does taste better - smoother.. Karla - where's the exercise today??? Our bands are fickle - one mintue you think you need a fill then the next you don't - it's all about food choices.. Candice you feel better and look better than you did 60 lbs ago - These are my thought on why you are happy at 176 - but maybe that's your happy weight - Who know's - I gotta say for me - I just keep eating healthy and exercising and that got me to where I am today - and I have been able to maintain for a year now, by just following my new lifestyle. I never imagine I would be where I am - but gotta say I am loving it.. Phyl - Will you be able to wear p.j. bottoms with your knee surgery (meaning long ones)- I think you are going to need gowns as they are going to have to take care of the incision. Heck with my band -I stayed in their gown the whole time - I didn't care if I had a bra on our not.. ------------------------------------------------ Well it's almost 12 - need to jump in the shower suppose to be at Candy's house around 12:30 - 1 - So talk to you all later...

Good Morning Gang.... Candice - you and me up early for a Saturday - Babies had me up before 5 and I didn't go to sleep till 12:30 a.m... I'm on my 2nd cup of french press coffee :0)... I'm going to gym at 7 - then meeting a gf (candy) for lunch movie or shopping - who knows.. Phyl - Yep I think we have Candice & Peter covered for driving across the USA MI (Kari) -WI (Linda)- WA (You)- OR (Karri)- CA (Me)- LA (Denise) MO (Steph & Karla) They have tons of pit stops to make... Karla - I don't think you are going to regret your decision not to get a fill.. I am glad you like your doc - that's very important and motivating.. I agree a nutritionst would be a good thing for you. It's really not about how tight you are but your food choice and exercise - Deep cleaning is good exercise - but it isn't cardio :0) - Your bike riding is.. Heck we have decided (karri & I) when she was here that trying on clothes is exercise - she wished that she had worn her body bugg to see how many calories she burned - I had her sweating with all the clothes that I had her trying on lol... You have done great 65 lbs !!! Linda - How's the fire pit going??? Kari - Food & Soda ?? Steph - Are you selling kettle corn this weekend.. QVC Fall Fashion Day today !!! Havent seen anything I want yet - but who know's the day has just begun... Karri - You need to do a drive by on our new thread... Denise - What are you up to this weekend.. Ok off to throw my clothes in the dryer.. CBL

CONGRATULATIONS 114 LBS - WTG :scared2: EVEN ON VACATION !!! LMAO !!!! Retiree lol Well it sounds like he has enough to keep him busy for a while...

I didn't "diet" I changed how I ate - I eat healthy (lower fat - limited carbs/sugars - I still have some) and I exercise For the first few months I weighted and measured my food - as I needed to learn what a real portion size was - I did count caloires and kept a food journel for the 1st year. I used all these things as learning tools.

Good Morning Gang... TGIF Steph have a great time at the lake !!! Enjoy yourself !!! As to walking - ya - I can do it - but my exercise limit it about 1.5 hrs max - that's it I usually exercise for no more than 1 hr usually about 50-55 minutes ... I enjoy it for that time but after that nope too much - With our bands I don't know how it would be to eat in a short period of time and drinking fast - I can't if I take a big gulp of water I get pain.. I know it's a great cause - but I have no inclination to walk 18 miles a day - 3 miles per hour is a good clip - I walk anywhere from 3 to 3.5 in hour now - and I am beat after 1 hr- so mulitply that by 5 hours - nope doesn't sound like something I would ever do.. And the whole fact that you have to raise so much $$$ - I don't like asking pple for money period. And most of my friends don't have tons of it.. I know you are passion about this walk - and I am happy that you are doing something that you are so passion about and wish you and your gang the best - can't wait to hear how it all goes.. Karla - Can't wait to hear how your visit goes with your new doc.. Well I got here early 7 a.m - and now it's 7:49 - so I need to get my butt in gear... CBL :wink2:

Ya you were the 1001 page poster :0).. Ok - Well you have another week before it gets to hecktic How's your Mom doing OMG you had my lmao on the whole sex things - then I loved the clarification about studiying the material - but not that section... Hugs on the pbing - I just had steak (ny strip) I just made sure I cut it into tiny tiny piece - had maybe 4 or a good 5 oz and have room for my veggies.. CONGRATS on the weight loss - You know your body - nothing for a while - the bam a big loss.. You have do so well in the last 2 yrs Phyl - I was just bragging about you to my gf Candy who came over tonite - was showing her the pics from Canada (btw who has the pic's with all of us with Elvis - I haven't seen those posted) any way I was explaining who everyone was and how much they have lost - I told her how well you have done especially with you bum knees... And that next yr we are going to have to run to keep up with you :wink: Well, I guess everyone is finding the new thread Should I have Alex lock our old one??

Karla - I need your email - send me email at jwrightpim@aol.com so I can add you to the Lucky #7 group

Congrats !!!! Now you can retire and during the winter come and visit me & Phyl here in the Desert !! You can park your RV at her place for a while - then when you want a bed and shower you can come and stay with me !!! Page 1000 !!!!!!!! Now girls go to our new thread to post http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f94/lucky-7-still-going-strong-99866/

Ok gang made a new thread that we will start using once we hit 1000 pages Lucky #7's Still going Strong !!!! http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f94/lucky-7-still-going-strong-99866/ Steph - Hugs GF - Like I said I didn't always succeed - but when I did it did help... I like Karla's suggestions - no doors nothing but a mattress. Glad to hear that the problem will solve it's self - like my Dad always said - things have a way of working out for the best.. This will be one less problem on your shoulders.. Good luck on your walk - I don't think I could walk 18 miles a day that's 2.25 miles per hour for 8 hours.. Great cause but I couldn't do it - and then sleeping in a tent.. Good Luck on that one... Karla - Hugs on the $$$ - Wish I had some ideas - the only one I can think of is for the girls to ask their father for some help.. Can you get more hours at the nursery..
