Oh Betty, I'm so sorry DH lost his job, that really sucks big moose kaka. Patty is right, take a day to breath (Patty you are so spiritual...*hugs*). You've heard this 100000 times, but I'll say it again. Where one door closes another opens. Wish I could give you a hug and we could have tea (okay beer) together We're here for you if you need an ear. Patty have a great trip and stay cool while packing. Shopping at Kohls...oh have a good time I agree with you about Darcy... But I wish she could see herself as we see her, beautiful and perfect the way she is. DD is playing with her Polly Pockets and I'm just enjoying sitting here watching her... Hugs and peace to you all.

Good Morning, Hey Anne, glad you won at poker ROFL, sounded like a lot of fun. I posted about my neice right above your post. Thank you so much for your prayers. Anne how are you feeling? Thank you ALL for your prayers for my neice.... its only the beginning and we don't know if its cancer yet which is going to makes these next few weeks very difficult. Bettina.... whats shakin toots? Betty boop ! how are YOU feeling darlink? what kind of scrumptious plans do you have this weekend? Love the boot ya have to wear :tired but you know what you can do with it when DH gets out of line LOLOL. Cindy still vacationing too? lordy I need to go on vacation too LOL...we miss yah. Kat, sweet Kat, how's everything today? SHERRY??? is she still on vacation ??? ROFL PAT???? get yer ass in here.....don't make me come after you LOLOL Dianne, I'm so proud of you, onederland...how cool is that. Enjoy curves today and you know you have my prayers for your g'mas. Good luck to your DH on the interview. Jessann is my sister's daughter. Hugs. Donna, Welcome Home is right ~~~ are ya unpacked yet? Darcy, hon, your not failing and your not a failure, your just going thru a rough time. I think the same thing when the scale is not moving (and I'm eating crap) but listen... if we can lose 10 lbs a year with the band, we are sooo much better off than if we didn't have it and we kept gaining 10 lbs a year. I think the folks that are losing fast are amazing and I wish I was like them, but I'm not. I'm not going to obsess over how slow I am losing and I'm not going to compair myself to them, its only gonna mentally wear me down if I do and that will make me depressed and guess what happens after that...yep, I'll eat more if I'm depressed. So every week, I just try to make healthier choices and if I have some cake or chips... I'm not going to beat myself up, I'm going to enjoy life. Lets just get healthy instead of getting skinny.... deal? *F* the scale, lets make better food choices and move our bods a little more. Persistance wins the race not perfection Luv yah. Patty, I'm glad your having a good summer and don't appologize for not popping in as much, we all know the summer is busy for everyone. Your Ex is a nincowpoop! but it seems to be the norm with lots of men, they do only what they "need" to and not more if it interfears with "themselves." Are the boys going with you to your mom's? I'm glad you get to spend time there with her...enjoy. Does your mom like garage saling like you (and me?) lol Nothing going on today, looks like its gonna pour out WTF! LOL I'm just being lazy today with DD...maybe we'll do some early birthday shopping and maybe i'll pick up some Polly Pockets for my neice. Well girlies, I hope I didn't miss anyone, and all you kids that are hiding, come out come out where ever you are... you know who you are. Love you and again thanks for your prayers and your ears :huggie: It meas so much to have friends like you......wish you all lived next door, it would be such a wonderful world if you did. :kiss2:

Hi Kids, I will do personals tomorrow promise Update: Jess is out of surgery, they were only able to remove part of the tumors that are in her throat but they did open her airways. The doctor says it takes a few WEEKS !!! yes I said weeks to get the results back so we have to sit and wait. She needs to go back in a few months for more surgery. Thanks for your prayers everyone We got to talk to her for a few seconds.... she whispered that she wanted me to take her shopping LOL, what a little girl lol

Christmas Lovers Thread
What was the silliest gift you ever got for Christmas? My DH got me a remote controlled fart machine. He put it in a little box, then a bigger one and then a bigger one.... (here I was thinking DIAMONDS!) ROFL. Every time I opened a box he would hit the remote and the dogs head would tilt...it was so funny.

Exercising with Disabilities
Mo, I'm not on any medications. My doctor wanted to give me shots in my spine but I refused. I will bear the pain for as long as I can. I do have to say I have more good days now than bad with the weight loss but when my back acts up LORDY~ its a chore just to get to work and lets not even mention getting DD ready and off to daycare. I also have arthritis in my knees and they hurt quite often. I can tell its getting worse because I used to be able to clean my house in one day, now I get 2 rooms clean at the most and I'm sore & tired. Eileen

Deep thoughts for those who take life way to seriously :)
Deep Thoughts For Those Who Take Life Way Too Seriously 1. Save the whales. Collect the whole set. 2. A day without sunshine is like...night. 3. On the other hand, you have different fingers 4. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. 5. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 6. Remember, half the people you know are below average. 7. He who laughs last thinks slowest. 8. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. 9. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap. 10. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have. 11. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 12. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines. 13. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments. 14. How many of you believe in psychokinesis? Raise my hand. 15. OK . . . so what's the speed of dark? 16. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. 17. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now. 18. Every one has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film. 19. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges? 20. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. 21. What happens if you get scared half to death twice? 22. I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder. 23. Why do psychics have to ask you for your name? 24. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened. 25. Just remember - if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off. 26. Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. 27. Life isn't like a box of chocolates.... it's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

How Muchshould You Weigh???
I'm 5'10" my doc says I should weigh around 170 and thats where I'd like to be. I am not big boned at all, more like medium (my ring size is a 5 - 6). Everyone is different, my DH and his brother are both the same height but my BIL is 180 lbs and looks good at that. 180 lbs on my DH would make him over weight... different structures thats for sure.
