  1. O.K. this is going to sound like a stupid question:blush: but here goes.....Where would I find Greek Yogurt? I have looked in the yogurt section at the store but didn't see it. I don't like yogurt but there are a couple of recipes that I want to try and they call for Greek yogurt. It there a specific brand/ name? My kids love yogurt but they don't have a clue either.
  2. Woohoo Ebony. I will keep you in my prayers! Sick. I swear you have my ex MIL! Maybe they are sisters. As far as the thyroid goes, I had went to the ER about my back. While doing an MRI and Ex rays they discovered I have a big knot on my thyroid which is cutting off some of my esophagus. Everyone have a blessed weekend.
  3. Thank you Slim and Fanny
  4. Went for my orientation today. They are talking about training me for management after I get trained on what they hired me for. they are going to be opening up a new store in a few months and will need managers. Since I have plenty of management experience.... So woohoo upgrade!
  5. Way to go! WOOHOO Wonderful! i don't know how I would react. I would be like who are you whistling at? LOL Eat it up Ebony! No not wrong at all. I do it on a regular basis with 1 of my exbf. he works at the grocery store where I shop at. We broke up because his family is allergic to fat people. he definatly notices. he has started flirting again. LOL. So I just smile and flirt back a little. Now that may be wrong:rolleyes2:. it makes us feel like we are in control. Have fun hon.
  6. Prayers for a fast healing and feeling all around better! I am glad you were able to finally get it done Brandy. take care and Please keep us posted!
  7. Amen sista! :thumbdown:
  8. Congratulations! I am glad all is well. Take care and keep us posted.
  9. Ebony , Sound promising. I'll be keeping you in my prayers about getting the position. Beth, I agree with what Ebony said about you would be the perfect one to help him set up. keeping you in my prayers also for the position. I called to get my appointment set up to see my GP next week about my thyroid. he will be on Vacation next week. He is a walk in Dr. I have been his patient for 13 yrs. he has seen me through a lot. Anyway God is good, I asked if my Dr. would be on vacation or not. Normally I wouldn't of asked, but felt the need to. I would have been upset if I would have drove out there to see him and him not be there. It's not far,20 min, but when your strapped for gas.... So I have to wait a full week. I can't go today because I have orientation today and won't have the money until Monday. I have gained 5 lbs since last week from a combination of eating/ steroids. Trying very hard today to get back on track. I'm going to have to do the 5 day pouch test next week. have to go grocery shopping to get ingredients for my homemade soups. LOL 90 degrees out and I am going to be doing soups! :thumbdown: Everyone have a blessed day and weekend.
  10. Well think positive! he sounds very confused himself. It sounds like he likes you a whole heap! So prayers that you will hear back from him soon with the job!:smile2: I will survive! I am taking things 1 day at a time. Go next week to see my GP so he can get me into a ENT about my thyroid. Then try to save the money for the neurosurgeon for my back. No word from Ebony yet?
  11. Hey Brandy, (BBK) are you still waiting on the Dr?
  12. Ebony and Beth, thoughts and prayers are coming your way for the jobs! I pray you both get them. That way the world might see something new.........All your friends here dancing nekid all at once because you got the jobs. LOL. Who is always talking about dancing nekid?:tt2::w00t: Anyway the world would be so scarred to see me they would pay me not to dance nekid. then I would be rich I tell ya, Rich!:tt1: I am surprised and thankful I still have my phone bundle. If I can hold on until Mon. then I can pay it. Fanny once again I love your pics. I have gotten where I show my grandkids them. They really like them. Through what you post I am teaching them about your country. My oldest DGS loves the mines. We spent about 2 hrs. the other day looking and talking about the heavey equipment used there. So thank you for being my teacher, so I can pass it on. Have a wonderful day everyone. Blessings.
  13. Sorry you are sick Susan. Hope you feel better soon. Beth sorry you don't feel so good either. Hopefully you can get something else down.
  14. Beth I am so sorry. Prayers are with you. Oh sounds like so much fun Lulu! Yes get feeling better. Fanny that is not being insensitive. You have wonderful news, SHARE it! LOL. Congratulations on the job Fanny. Love the pics. of course the frog is the most popular one! Awesome job Mac. Good morning everyone Hopefully I will be able to let you know about the job later. if I still have my phone package. I am still trying to find some help with that one. If not I will try to post asap. Good luck Ebony and Beth on your interviews! I pray you get these great jobs. Take care, enjoy your vacations, good luck on the moves and buying / selling homes! I think I covered everything. If I have missed anyone I am sorry. Blessings
  15. I am so sorry to hear. She was very special. I loved her post. My prayers go out to her family and friends.
  16. So sorry to the both of you. This is one thing that stays in the back of my mind. What if. I was self pay and can't afford anything else. I can't even afford to have it taken out. But if I have the insurance if the need arises then praise God. Then if insurance would let me do a revision it would be to the sleeve. But I can only imagine what your both going through. Thoughts and prayers are with you both.
  17. congrats. Won't be much longer will it?
  18. Be safe Tap. Maybe you will get some band friendly food while there. Still glad I am NOT the one sitting in the meetings! LOL Morning everyone have a blessed Sunday.
  19. Sounds great. I will substitute ground bison for the beef. It is healthier than beef. Has very little fat, doesn't shrink up because of that. Has fewer calories than beef. Taste better than ground turkey. Draw back is it is pricey. My kids are good to me. they buy it for me. 1 lb is 2-4 meals depending on what I use it for. It's just me so it averages out to about $1.25 per meal for me for the bison. I want to try the bison hotdogs. But they aren't sold in the stores around here. Olive oil mayo rocks. love that stuff. I don't use low fat cheese except swiss. The rest is full flavor. The evaporated milk is good or also mix it with powder milk. Just use a little less. Can't waite to try this recipe.
  20. Congrats! She is beautiful! What a pretty name. I am glad everything went well. You and hubby are so happy looking!
  21. WooHoo Beth. thoughts and prayers all the way around! Well guess what I have another job interview on Tuesday. The thing about this is my daughters boss called them and told them about me and my health problems and they are still willing to interview me!
  22. I had trouble so I picked 3...Elija Samuel, Brendan Samuel and David Sebastian. All the names were good but these 3 I liked best. I don't know if it because I have nephews with the name Samuel (Sam) and David. But I have always loved the name Elija. Good luck hon
  23. YEAY Ebony. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Feel the vibes from all of us here! Think positive! :thumbup: Wow Mac, that is awful.:eek: It must be keeping the rest of you on pins and needles also. My DSIL went through something similar recently. Another company bought them out. She was blessed. She was 1 of the few they kept. She has been with the company 32 yrs. Now for me. I know, I know, It's all about ME!!!!!!!!:tongue2: I got a JOB! yeay me!:thumbup: It's at a place I worked at before. They don't have any level caregiver that I am at so they are training me to the next highest level. i am a little concerned because of my back, hopefully I won't have to much lifting of patients. Training starts the 15th. 1st pay is I f I remember correctly the 26th? I will have to look. I haven't even told my kids yet! LOL. guess I need to call them and let them know.
  24. Ya know as bad as I need a job, I am glad I am not you right now. :wink2:I can do meetings that are 3-4 hrs long, but power meetings make me very antsy and BORED! I can't sit still.I have a hard time being still in short meetings. Thank you Susan. I am glad you and hubby are doing so good. Also that you both have a good outlook on the apartment. Good luck with it all. I agree with what slim says Ebony. I am getting ready to go out job hunting. Just pray I can last till I fill out the last application since I am not taking any pain meds. I felt great when I woke up. Was actually pain free, then I moved!:biggrin: I had slept till 8:30 this morning. I don't sleep late so this was nice.Have a nice day every one. Blessings to all. THANK YOU ALL for being here for me. You don't know how much it means to me.
  25. Thanks I'll try it.
