Hello Ladies! I am here and so FLIPPING excited about Karla's news... whoo-hoo yu skinny assed biatch!!!! Just kidding, you've worked hard hon and I am so proud of you, and especially proud of you for getting to the doctor and looking after yourself.. It will be o.k. You'll be able to eat meat and you'll be fine!!! I agree 36 bra, C or D cup it depends... but definetly not a 38 or 40!! You way past those sizes... I have 20 lbs on you and I wear a 36 DD... my ribs aren't that big, its just my boobs!!! argh, won't go there today... Except to say that I am still on the band wagon and its day 4 !!! I have found that I love Chicken Jerky... found it in a store and buying some more today. Really helps me curb the hunger between meals... it stays with me!! Thank you God!!! Ive been praying hard to stay the course and eat what HE would want for me, not what I want for myself.. Getting my hair cut at 4 oclock really need it too.. Can't wait, my old hairdresser so we;ll probably gab our heads off the whole time and I;ll come home with fresh gossip!! cbl:tt2:

Did I completely miss the boat here?

So happy about the Michael transformation... how cool and rewarding was that... now about your SIL.... Stephanie, you are a good person who does GOOD works. Because you have a GOD voice inside of you that guides YOU.... you did the right thing driving your dumbass SIL`s family around for her ... that was the KINDEST thing you couldhave done for her.... but, because she dosn`t appreciate it or acknowledge it does NOT take away from the LOVE that you showed doing it. Don`t let her tangle that `good feeling`` that you get inside for doing the right thing.... Be proud of yourself, and know that at the end of the day you will have no regrets, that you did your best! LOVE YOU, and hugs hon:wub: Candice

Poop, just lost my first post... we dont have electoral colleges... This election that I am working on is for local government. Mayor, deputy Mayor, Cousilors etc.... Like Provincial and Federal Elections... its one man- one vote... So I like that system. There are 10 days of advance polling, so that if you ca`nt get there on OCT 25 the real election day you can post your ballot early and when its convenient. I am only scheduled to work on the 25th... Peter has to work on an advanced poll too... ah what the heck its $150 and my civic duty is done ....

So Happy to hear that Mels biopsy is scheduled.... Ive been reading about flooding in Wis... are you guys o.k. in She??? Janet; I am here, I was just away over the weekend, so I missedf some of the new tv shows :-( But I did see the one with Jimmy Smits and Detroit 187 ... both are GOOD!!! Way busy today. Had ELECTION training today... all day... oh my brain is full.... I work on election day only, Oct 25th.. Peter has to work the advance poll as well... ha,ha,ha... Oh well, its our civic duty right? We are using a voting machine that is made in the US so a guy came up from FLA to train us... He was really funny and made it go smoother than was anticipated... He assured us that there would be No HANGING CHADS... LOL we teased him alot! Think Peter is taking me to Swiss Chalet for chicken dinner... yumm, I am starved. ... Protien bars and Pro Shakes today so far... gotta start being accountable again. Hope Earl is feeling better soon.... and Karla. look after your tummy, dosn't sound like you are getting enough to eat:bored:

Oh Janet that sounds like fun, yaking with Phyl for 1 .5 hours....LOL and your vegas trip is coming up so fast!!!! ANd in another month from that Mexico!!! WHoo-hoo... I can`t wait until WINTER so that I can travel :biggrin: Karla, oooh you are tight girl... but you are losing so well... rock on!!! Smoothies for sure, as you drop another 5-10 lbs the band will loosen up some. Are you still thinking of flying here for Xmas??? Music rehersal in a few,,, so gotta keep this short:tongue2:

Hip is hurting like a bastard today, but I went to the gym anyways.... 20 mins on the treadmill, 20 on the bike... oh «i am sore... gotta get in shape again so I can do my Zumba!!! Well, gotta run... more later babes... love you all.

oh crap did I lose my post? shit I did.... it was for Karri; Honey, I feel for you. BUT what is done is done... don't spend your energy on regrets... Just hit this new year with acheivable goals. Teach the curriculum as presented; no its not inspired; no its not what you'd like to be teaching... but its what you HAVE... work with it and don't make yourself nuts.. You are way too hard on yourself. Just get thru this year, and then focus on getting back into the type of environment that you love. O.k. I am NOT a teacher,, where are the other more educated types....?.... come in here.

Oh Stephanie, with Michael, its a control issue... He is remaining STINKY because HE wants control over his body... it could be worse, he could be an anorexic and refuse to eat... but the principle is the same... HE WANTS CONTROL... his motive is Not to make your crazy.... so stick to the couselors suggestion and LET nature take its course... put some Vicks vaporub under your nose.... You can threaten, you can yell... but does that honestly work with Michael? Hummm I don't think so... Or there is another tactic, but you and Jeff will both have to be onboard... YOU 2 don't shower or bath or brush teeth for a weekend until Michael thinks YOU stink... maybe then he'll get it... <LI class=FLC itxtvisited="1">Your adolescent (who is approaching puberty or has begun puberty) may not realize that they are producing offensive smells as their routine may not have changed. <LI class=FLC itxtvisited="1"> Your tweens (ages 9 to 12) and teens may have observed their change in smell but did not know what to do about it. Still, they may feel self-conscious about knowing they have not been smelling their best. <LI class=FLC itxtvisited="1"> Sometimes, tweens and teens just don't want to bother with showers and baths. They stink and they know it. Seek professional assistance when they know you know they stink too (and they refuse to correct the problem). You may be dealing with a self-esteem issue.

Oh that would be cool, but Utica NY is still a hell of a long way from me, and Montreal is even farther east!!! Is she driving back across the US or the Canadian side? Cause then it might make it closer... So she ends up in Montreal, if she came home the Cdn way say thru Ottawa, our Nations Capital, then came west across Ontario to Toronto then UP to Wasaga Beach from there... that would work and she`d get to see some great cities and countryside... chk out this link to mapquest o.k. that didnt`work so well....

ME TOO!!!!! But seriously Linda, Mel HAS to make that appt. TUESDAY... Or Peter and I will come over there and KICK HIM IN THE ASS!!! No kidding~~~!!

mornoing girels bridget has decided to ly across me wrists, hard to type Karla, you forgot Peter!!! OH i AM SO DISAPPOINTED.....not... i can`t name all your daughters either!!!! Good sleep in today, i needed it... too much excitement this wekend... working on quilots today Karla, congrats on thwe 167 that is a fabulous number girl.... youve worked hard for it. I forgot to ask, do you have to pay for this new surgery? or is it covered by your insurance from school. AND 50 lbs,,, no wy girl, you are not to lift THAT much ever!!! No sense in getting repairs and continuing to LIFT, your employer at the green house will just have to understand and give you light duties. or find a diff job. P/t...JMHO

Well Girls, big news day... Karla, great news on being able to get that surgery....I am so happy for you... not that you`ll be in pain afterwards, but that you getting looked after!!!! Janet is right about the breast thing.... it`ll be o.k.... just know that whatever happens...YOU can handle it... Can`t sleep. Was in bed 4 hours and I got the nastiest Charlie Horse in my right shin splint... OMG sore, got out of bed and walked around on it but ...... still cramping so I made a cup of TEA ( wth milk yeah) and I am sitting here telling you about the most marvelous night of my life. THe gig went well. Had a good crowd, friend(s) came out, this old building has Awesome accoustics.... and...... we were on the 11 oclock NEWS here in Barrie.:thumbup: :scared2: :thumbup: is that COOL:drool: or what??? now the sad part is that we couldn`t drive home fast enough to catch it on the telly, so we `watched`it at the bar...but another act was singing by then.... so no volume on the TV... but i did SEE myself and Peter and John on the VR News.... Yeah-haw If I can get ahold of the TV station and get a clip I`ll share it with you here....:lol::lol::lol:

Have fun, and enjoy your friends. 5 years, ooooh now that is a lot of catching up!!! Leaving for the gig in a few minutes, makeup CHECK, Hairdo CHECK, Spanx CHECK, Highhealed shoes CHECK, salt Water gargle CHECK... van is still loaded from last night CHECK.. water bottles filled CHECK O.k. think that's it. and Janet, you are right it is BREAK A LEG... sic eh??? but that brings good luck:thumbup: food today? Ham salad, 1/2 chicken breast, coffee tea... ooooh and a tiny bit of chocolate!!:thumbup:

Actually, I did fine. not too nervous, just enough to feel ALIVE... and ready to roll. There was a crowd at the beginning, leftovers from the supper crowd and an ART gallery thingy... but when that was over the crown thinned out.... to my BFF Sally, one couple at the back of the restaurant, a band member from one of Peters other groups, the Festival Staff and the sound man. So didn`t forget any words... and John just messed up a couple of notes ... so all in all it was successful , kind of like a Dress REhersal for TONIGHTs show. Friday night so hopefully we will have a bigger crowd. Some more folks have rsvp`d so should be a bigger house crowd... I wore my BLACK dress slacks, heels, Black sleeveless TOP with Studds around the collar, with a flimsy little OverJacket black and white swirly things and a SILVER thread that ran thru thew fabric.. 3/4 sleeves (yeah!!!) and Silver jewellry... it was raining so I was worried about my hair FLOPPING but it held o.k. Of the 3 acts that played there last night, I do believe we were the best... we`ll see what tonight brinngs.... whoo-hoo I am pumped!!

Oh my Gosh, Peter is driving me crazy already!!!:alien: gotta load the van, take all our music stuff outside.... early!! We don`t leave for FIVE hours!!!! I made a little quilt top today, to keep me busy and sewing so I wouldnm`t get all goofy before tonigt.... now I am having homemade stew for dinner and then a nice SOAK in the tub... then makeup, hair...

Steph congrats on the cruise that will be such fun! and with regards to Michael, YUP I am afraid that the counselor is correct. He needs to LEARN that there are Consequences to his actions... Keep the lips zipped (and plug your nose) until HE gets it. Its not a hygene problem, but rather a CONTROL issue... don't play the game. JMHO Linda: HUGS to you and Melski... I sent you some articles and I know you will get the best care for his situation.
