Ok Mandi, You started this!

We could use this thread for September's goals.

I would like to lose at least 8 lbs.

I will exercise at least 3 times a week.

I will be careful not to eat junk food. I better hurry and eat the cheese Crunches I bought today. I have 2 days to get rid of them. :hungry:

Good Luck to everyone in September!!

Hey Wheezy, how's it going???

I've been very busy with the Christmas rush, parties and shopping. Were also still recuperating from the storm and flood we had. We had several people in the house to give estimates to repair the damages. The house is a mess, well the basement is anyway. I also volunteered to work last weekend because we were short staff, cant' remember the last time I worked a weekend. I've got a lot of catching up to do, so many post to read. I really hate to miss anything.... want to know how everyone is doing.

When I get a chance I would like to get some pictures of the damage in the area from the storm, maybe if and when I get the photos, I will post them.

You have my sympathy, Wheezy. It sounds like you are going through an unbelievably busy time!

Wheezy, that sounds horrible. What a mess, how do you cope?? Especially at this time of year! You have all my sympathy. Do you have to host anything at Christmas??

Oh Wheezy i'm sorry your still coping with that mess from the storm! I hope your xmas isnt a total wreck because of it

Wheezy: I think you've remained saner than I would've!! Well done!

You guys are so good to me. Yes it's a struggle recuperating from the storm but it's not all that bad. No one was hurt and the only thing lost was material. Everything will sort itself out eventually. Thank you all for your support. HUGZ!!!!!

I have some pics of the results of the storm so here goes, no garanties.

OMG, the storm knocked over those trees???

Wow! That is absolutely amazing! It must have been terrifying while it was going on.

Omg wheezy, were you crapping? i would have! did you have to hide in the basement? that looks pretty scary!

OMG, the storm knocked over those trees???

e

Yes, the trees were knocked down by the storm. I call Hydro after the storm to see when they would restore our power, they said that there were 113 trees down on power lines in our area. I just a took a tour of the park in our neighbourhood, everywhere you look the trees are down. I took a few more shots today. It's been 2 weeks since the storm and there are still some power lines down.

That is sad; some of those trees look like they were very old and had been around forever.....sad that they are "gone" in an instant!

The roots on the last photo are about 10 feet high so it was a very old tree. The pictures really don't depict how much the storm affected the landscape around here. The weather is really getting weird, the storms are getting more and more violent. Hard to imagine that some people don't believe that global warming is not really happening.

Wow Wheezy... that's crazy. I saw on Canada AM this morning, they were talking about/showing what the chances of a white xmas in the 60's were, compared to now. (I'm copying this from the website, cause I wanted to make sure it was right:)

The probability of seeing a White Christmas in the 1960s was:

Calgary: 73 per cent

Charlottetown: 93 per cent

Edmonton 100 per cent

Toronto: 60 per cent

Montreal: 80 per cent

But the chances have dropped across the board, and in the past decade the probabilities are:

Calgary: 47 per cent

Charlottetown: 67 per cent

Edmonton: 73 per cent

Toronto: 33 per cent

Montreal: 67 per cent

So yeah... somethin's going on. We've barely got any snow. It was cold for maybe a week, and any snow we had has mostly melted. Supposed to be super cold and snowy in SK, so I'll get more than my fill, I'm sure!
