We should all stop responding to PG's posts... SHe is an idiot(by free choice) Lets get the subject back to Universal Healthcare for ALL Americans

Phyl; So sorry about your troubles! OMgosh I'd be worried about Steve too. Those symptoms don't sound good. Prayers for him and your Neice... I can't stand it when a women is pounded by a guy... that is just barbaric...Hope he gets the book thrown at him by the judge. Glad you are able to 'eat' a tiny bit... that's a good sign.. Hopefully, all it was is the bronchitis. After Friday perhaps you'll be able to relax a bit. Karla: Hugs on the DD issues. It's too bad SImon has to suffer because of HER immaturaty. Poor doggy:blush: Janet: Escrow... yeah, that must mean that your bro troubles will soon be over... THank Heavens for that!!! Its been a long haul for you. YOU are the best SISTER anyone could have!:confused: Denise: I watch the news every day, hoping that they find a CURE for the oil spill down there. I just can't even imagine what the folks must be living thru. Glad that you'll still have YOUR job. Where is our Grandma LINDA????

Happy LONG Memorial WEEKEND !!! Get out and enjoy the nice weather! Remember how lucky we all are that we have Military members to protect us and keep our way of life safe. God Bless Canada and America!!! The 2 greatest countries on Earth!

Here is her note to me AFTER the phone call, telling me not to come to work today. Hi again Candice, Thanks for speaking with me today. I would just like to reiterate that I will be in touch as soon as I have things sorted at my end (within a couple of weeks). I am confident that we can come up with a solution that works for both parties. I know that Pat was really excited to have some help with WSIB and our poor website is being neglected as well. I am sorry again to have been so wishy washy with our needs. I will be in touch as soon as I can, take care, Sarah screw them, I don't want to work for them now... too much carrot dangling has been going on... I've sat down with her 3x to work out schedules, job sharing stuff etc...

Oh I am so pissed. My NEW Chiropractor just called, apparently there has been a change in hours... she dosn't want me to start Monday(tomorrow) the other laser therapist wants to work mondays!! Fuck them... She said can she call me in afew weeks when things settle in? NO flick off!!! I told her I am not feeling warm and fuzzy about getting yanked around yet again!

Too much! What ever happened to COMMON SENSE

Sunday sleep in humm mm:rolleyes:

Your statement is absolutely retarded... So women who have a backstreet abortion deserve to die of septasemia??

Oh Gosh Phyl, I really wish yo didnt have to wait until FRIDAY.... please if it gets any worse at all or pain... please go to the ER first!!! o.k.??? I mean it. Oh that little dog is precious, I love that breed too... Earl willl melt, sounds like he is getting kinda mushy now... Janet: I am here babe: Food today, Breaky Cereal(BRAN) and skim Lunch: 1 /4 of a kids size pizza, 1 big lick of some icing(but thats all!!!) coffee with cream only. Dinner: Sangria!!! and reading OPRAH's New bio.... can't put it down. Falafel on WW Pita with Tzatziki sauce... ummm really good. Snack: later on will be popcorn:biggrin: OH I aM so jealous of you , going to see SEX in the CITY! OMGosh you lucky bummmmmm:cool: I worked at the SuperStore Community room today. B-day party for 9 yr old girls... it was fun until the one kid got one of the presents STUCK in her long hair!!! Dumbass kid, shouldn't have been playing with the presents anyways.... we were getting ready to cut a few strands of her hair to untangle the gift when her father came barroling in and yelling "Who gave you permission to touch my daughter, let alone cut her Hair!!" "Who do you think you are!!!" Oh my gosh. the little boy who had GIVEN the gift was in tears as the FATHER smashed the toy over his daughters head to release her 'hair'.... it was aweful!!! All the b-day guests were crying, cause the man scared everyone ... the only kid not crying was the girl with the airplain stuck in her freeking hair... and she did it to HERSELF!! Unreal, my boss felt so terrible for the little boy that SHE started to cry.... so now the STORE is replacing the toy for the Bday girl... The mother who had spent $30 on the gift was very pissed too... not at US but at the stupid father who over=reacted. Karla; I am sorry, but I am way confused on your daughters, can you name them so I don't get screwed up... or is it a confidentiality thing? Is DD#4 the one that I met??? YOur new dress sounds way cute...you deserve it too!!! Easy on the fence o.k. let the GUY to all the heavy work! I mEAN IT:eek: Well, we have a buyer for the RV... looks like it will be gone by next week :cool: going to buy something larger.... so WHO do I owe a Margarita too????:cursing:

Oh Phyllis!!! Go to your Doctor PLEASE!!! I do not like the sound of that BROWN SLIME.... I chew too fast and PB occasionally, but NEVER does my slime have a color!!!! That is NOT a good sign. Yes, when I am stuck I get BAD pain too in my sertnum... LIke someone pushing a GOLF BALL into my ribcage. It does hurt, but as soon as I go to the Bthrom and PB, its gone and so is the pain... I can then resume eating the rest of my meal in peace. Pls don't ignore it any longer honey!!!!

CALORIES;CARBS;FAT;PROTEIN2,417;283;59;126 I havn't gone back and read any posts.... I'll do that in a minute... Just had to be accountable for Yesterdays food before I forgot it all.... Quilters Pot Luck dinner, at my house..... ummm, lots of wine and things.... but ... there it is...! ok. going back to read now

oh puppy shopping will be such fun.... I`ll be thinking about you!!:smile2:

I am tighter than Earl and his wallet. I haven't been able to eat all day and have struggled with even Water. I guess I am stressed about the insurance thing. Tell me again that I'm not a bad mom for not insuring my kids.... You are not a bad mom.... sheesh.... its time to cut the apron strings babe.... You`ve given them everything for 20+ years... when does it become YOUR time.... If all of your daughters were earning money, ask yourself if THEY would pay YOUR premiums.... uhm, I bet they`d need new cars, new cell phones, a better apt., new clothes.... I don`t mean to sound hard, but the girls are at the point in their lives where they think the world revolves around them... «Be strong, you are doing the right thing:thumbup:

Right on brother!!! You said it"" Now my 2cents. Unless and until WE all stop driving our cars for Unnecessary travel and keep gu«z«ling all the OIL in the free world, some IDIOT in government will keep sending our youth to slaughter in the Middle East... The solution lies with everyday Americans... use cleaner fuel, spend more MONEY putting up WIND turbins to generate power, make more Nucleur Hydro Plants, more SOLAR energy... we have to stop relying on OIL... because we can`t MAKE it, it is of limited supply... and the guys with the supply are the ARABS.... and oh yeah, you get most of your natural gas from us Canadians... and we don`t mind selling to you but IT will run out eventually too. -A Canadian in support of a CLEAN Gulf of Mexico!!!

Awh~~ is Earl softening a bit???

Hi there; I was banded by TLBC (now Slimband) allmost 3 yrs ago. Prices of $4200 and $5200 are the clinics in Mexico, that offer the surgerys. I personally know many ladies that have gone to Mexico for their surgery and all went well. Problem is AFTERCARE, who is going to do your Fills for you in Canada??? CIBO, SWLC, Slimband will NOT do fills for NON patients... so make sure you check out all options. With the SLEEVE, you'll need no fills after surgery, but you may want to stay in contact with your surgeon for questions and concerns.. Do you live in Toronto? or close by? There is now Lapband offered in Barrie, Ontario from Lakeview Surgery, I visited there and its nice, surgeon very approchable.. Liked them. you can pm me with questions too if they are of a more private nature.

Karla; great job on finishing that Masters assignment.. and the dog walk. WOW that was a big one, you must have seen the whole town.!!! PHyl: sorry you in a funk, it happens to us all at times... but you are doing the right things and looking after your health. Getting your exercise goes a long way to lifting a mood. I didnt`really think you ate a lot??? Puzzled at that one, cause I saw you eating for 3 days... and you ate less than me. Maybe our metabolism is FLICKed up from so many years of dieting. Try the journaling, eat 800 one day, 1000 the next, 950, 875, then 1200 and see if that dosn`t shake off a few... trick your body into losing again. Janet: hugs on the funeral, I agree with Phyl. there needs to be a `coming together`of family and friends. It is psychologically necessary IMHO CAUTION: Funny story to follow.... Well you know that when I was at my AUnt & Uncles I would slip out for a few hours, go over to the starbucks and do my email.... while there I thought ah-ha... I`ll buy my Uncle (diabetic) a bottle of their sugar free syrups... Ummmwhat flavor??? So I got Hazelnut... got home and showed my Uncle how the SF Syrup would make his coffee taste just as yummy without putting his sugars up to 17!!!! (they are supposed to be under 8, Cdn measurements) so He says O.k. I`ll try it... OH my, he dosn`t like Hazelnut, it reminds him of the Liquour Frangelico!!!! OMG (regroup)< So next morning I say, hey Uncle I have to go over to Starbucks to do my mail, pick up some tinfoil yada,yada...he says ``well I have to go to the bank, so I`ll come with yA` Get to starbucks and I ordered 2 skinny lattes, vanilla... he wants a LARGE, and I get a SMALL... I go to pull out my wallet to pay. He says ``ÒH no, its my treat, you``ve been so good to me and Aunt``.. I said, Uh Uncle I`ll pay, cause when y ou see how much$$ it will be you are gonna have a stroke!`` He insists... the bill is $9.34 and he hands her a $10... she gives him back change... now rememer my Uncle is profoundly DEAF... He yells at the barista, Hey what are you trying to pull, I gave you a $10!!!! we sit down.... Now drinking this DELUX coffee, he is gripping, grumbling etc... I say BUT do you like it Uncle???? Oh yah, I guess so... but its too damn hot!!!! ( its coffee!) Then in his very big OUTSIDE voice he says, `do me a favor, when we get home check my drawers., cause I think I shit myself`!!!! Then we continue our trip, going next to the bank... he has to go in c ause he`` dosn`t trust those damn Money grabbing Machine things` Oh my gosh these old folks are so funny... this is my Mom`s Brother... and teh genetic link is very strong... I just kept laughing... I get home and am retelling these stories to my DH and he says to me...... get ready..... STOP YELLING, I`m right here beside you, I can hear just fine!!! I realized then that I had been talking for the past 3 days in a VERY LOUD voice... Aunt is deaf in one ear, but he is in both... Has hearing aids and just REFUSES to wear them...they sit collecting dust on his nighttable.. he just thinks it is no problem, and can`t understand why everyone else in the world just can`t Speak UP! Please tell me we are not all going to end up like this!!! - there were many other instances to chuckle about but I`ll save the rest for Seattle... and a few glasses of wine! Glad to be home:lol: oh and stuck to my food plan and am now down 5 lbs.... yeah!!

CALORIES;CARBS;FAT;PROTEIN1,007;98;36;44 I`ve been away for a couple of days... nursing my Uncle and Aunt back to health...hee,hee... Really just put up a few meals for them in the freezer so that they could rest and recouperate from the hospital stay. I said my serenity prayer many times over the last couple days, and it did help. PLUS, my Uncle is diabetic and is not watching what he eats very well.... so I was trying to do some nutrician education with him... this really kept me on the straight and narrow, as I felt I had to be an good example.... Take care and have a great WEDNESDAY Candice

Excerpt froom note to phyl::: I am in Sarnia right now looking after my Aunt and Uncle. She just got out of the hospital with a BLocked Bowel. The obstruction is to be removed surgically, as soon as she is strong enough to withstand the proceedure. Hence I came down to make ahead freezer meals for them... they are sweet. But as they get older, they are lacking in meal imagianation and tire of the preparations so they have been NOT eating (him the diabetic) and her EATING Too much and »Junk..... ( oh can you say take a look in the mirror Candice?) Anyways, they are appreciating my `new food``, never cooked it THAT way before``.... they are a hoot.. thank Goodness they both still have a sense of humour!! Hugs, Candice Karla; with regard to the Health Ins. buy whtever plan gets you your SURGERY with the least deductable... Your girls can start looking after themselves..... this may sound harsh (LOVE) but GF you need to start putting yourself FIRST... Janet: I``d love to have the opportunity to PLANT palms... I just love them, alas I`d just be sentencing them to a cruel and unusual death!!! :tongue2: LInda: Do all your cuddling, you lucky, lucky girl... we want PICTURES Doll.. Denise: So glad you`ll soon be out of school... Your Shrimp boil sounds so good... I can almost taste them!!! YUMMY food yest. was pretty good. Cereal for breaky Yogurt w/ strawberries protien snack bar 150 12 potatoe chips/ w guacamole homemade dip(trying to get the seniors to eat something different) Pork chop 1/2, 1/4 cup bbq potatoes, 1/2 cup asperagus... A NO SUGAR DAY.... hooray!!! so far today, Cheerios w/ 1% milk, SF FF LAte at Starbucks... thats where I escape to to read my email. oh yeah, this a.m. at Breakfast I say to my Uncle (diabetic) do you want some SF Whole grain cheerios? Sure, and I pour him a coffee... he takes it black.... good! Then he asks my AUNT to give him his treat.... wait for it.... BAILEYS IN HIS COFFEE!!!! OMgosh»!!! I just about lost it... WTF are you doing????? Uncle Dunc, that is straight SUGAR.... so I am buying him some SF Flavored Syrup from Starbucks to take home to him.... you can lead a horse to Water....... ya right"!! I`ll let you know how THAT goes:rolleyes:

They live in Sarnia, Ontario- right across the St. Clair river from Port Huron, Michigan.. Its about a 4 hour trip the way I drive LOL... ya, they are sweet.. they have been so good to me over the years, You can't imagine..plus their Daughter(my cousin) and I are very close, she's a Nurse Practitioner and was instrumental in getting my MOM diagnosed a few years ago with a Geriatric Psychiatrist... so its good that I am able to help them now. KARMA

YEAH LINDA! Congrats on baby Levi!!! That explains why I havn`t been able to reach you on skype... They are so lucky you were able to watch CORA for them..hope she is all better now:thumbup: Melsky is getting the F/P finished eh? That is cool, you`ll really enjoy it downthere, just takes the dampness out of the lower level. I LOVE Mine!!! Going to Sarnia for a few days, my DAunt and Duncle are both is bad shape... MY Uncle is diabetic, depressed and not eating.. my Aunt has been so worried about him that she got a Bowel Blockage and had to be rushed to ER. Shes out now but very weak and not really up to dealing with him... I am going to go and do some FREEZER cooking for them, get a bunch of healthy meals planned for them and then they can just eat out of the freezer for a while until she is stronger.. I can do all the groc shopping, and get the house cleaned for them... just kinda help out for a couple days. They are the Sweetest couple, but they are bickering with ea other right now cause neither feels well... so sad. I am going to take my laptop and visit a starbucks once a day to try and keep caught up and enter in my food JOURNAL... I am doing well so don`t want to screw that up. BUT my Uncle is dibetic, so I`ll be in good NON Suger eating company LOL:biggrin:

Phyl, I am so proud of you...you are doing really well at the gym and PT...:thumbup: Loved EARL`s car picture that was sweet. Ummm, chinese food, ya its hard to get good stuff for us... I usually get peel`n`eat shrimp. or stir fryed chicken with veggies, skip the rice... HUGS, Candice

Happy Queen Victoria Day Weekend!! For all you Canadian Lurkers, *(aka May 24 weekend, ah we pack our beer in a case of 24 hee,hee) and Happy Memorial Day for all you Yanks!!!.. First LONG weekend of the summer. .. and theres already been fireworks in my neighbors backyard last night... but it didnt' keep me awake... ANd Thankfully it dosn't upset the dogs! a bit of the history.... Background Queen Victoria was born on May 24, 1819. Following the death of three uncles and her father, she became Queen of the United Kingdom on June 20, 1837 and reigned until her death on January 22, 1901. Victoria is still the longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. During Victoria's life, the British Empire expanded considerably. However, her powers as Queen of the United Kingdom were reduced as the House of Commons became more important and powerful in British politics. The monarch's birthday has been celebrated in Canada since before the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign. After her death, in 1901, May 25 became known as Empire Day. The sovereign's official birthday was still celebrated, often on the King's or Queen's actual birthday. In 1952, Empire Day was moved to the Monday before May 25 and since 1953, the official birthday of Queen Elizabeth II has been celebrated on this date in Canada. In 1958, Empire Day became known as Commonwealth Day, which was moved to the second Monday in March. The Monday before May 25 then became known as Victoria Day, which is a Canadian statutory holiday. :thumbup:
