    Phoebe - Your new doggy is so cute. I am sure you will enjoy her.
    Marie - Great saying and words to live by. Everyday is a gift.
    Buzz- Interesting success story and I hope we can do the same here
    and try some of her tips.

    Morning,

    Dinner last night was good but too high in calories it was Mexican. Our friends took us downtown and we saw the new ice arena and the skating pond. The wind was so strong we were freezing walking to the German restaurant and found it was closed after our friends went on line and it said it was open. So that is how we ended up at the Mexican place. We ended up not going on the bikes on the pond it was just too windy.
    We went back to their place for dessert which was ice cream. So the scale was up which I suspected.

    Today we will be visiting my cousin who just got home from the hospital and we also have a wake to attend. A neighbor on our street passed away and he is also a town council member who just got reelected. So we will pay our respects.

    Enjoy your day and hope everyone is ready for the New Year and the new you.

    Happy Friday!! My cousin is leaving today, I will be taking her to the airport around noon. We both feel fine today, I think it was just the dry heat that gave us those scratchy throats. And I think she didn't want to admit she is still tired from the chemo and preferred just staying home, which I was thrilled to do. I made a great meatloaf for her final dinner here and now I have so many leftovers and extra food in my frig I am not sure what to do.
    I am going to get serious with my logging and exercise but will probably wait until Monday to start. I know that is a bad excuse but really need to have my bike in the living room which is too heavy for me, so I have to wait for Bryanna to help me. I also think I am going to try the 30 days shred with my new knees, will let you know if I can do that or not.

    Phoebe,

    Phoebe~ Honey looks as if she has a smile because she knows you're on your way to collect her and who can blame her. We know how wonderful seniors are too and she'll love you for giving her a chance to experience a loving home. Whatever moved you to take her on was obviously meant and I'm sure you'll get your reward with lots of wet kisses!! Can't wait to see photos of her in happier times. You're an angel. <3

  • Thinking of you and Honey this weekend Phoebe. Like I said on golden years, thank the Lord for all the (abused animal) rescuers. Keep us up to date after her arrival home. Anne.

    Here's a video of George burying a stone he picked up from the footpath on his way home from a walk this week. We go through the same procedure every day and I just have to remember it's under the rug when I kneel to set the fire.... ouch!

  • Jackie! George is one lucky and very interesting little doggie. Pretty little chap too. Thanks for the video, loved it, Anne.

    God bless everyone who adopts a dog. They so need a loving home.

    Prayers needed please. My son-in-law's grandmother fell down her basement steps today. Just received a call from a very upset daughter that the grandmother has died.
  • Oh Jackie, that is funny! Only Georgie knows why he does it, so funny. He is adorable.
    Sandy, I love seeing Robby smiling, and the leggings! Priceless ♥♥♥
    Buzz, it Hurts to cough? Are you going to the doctor? Does the dr know about this development? Are you afraid they might hospitalize you? Pain when coughing is Not an over the counter medication type of sickness! Love you ♥♥♥
    Home from the viewing, crowded, we're tired.
    Rainy days here, but better than snowy icy roads Anyday!
  • Buzz - I really feel for you, I had exactly the same symptoms you are suffering. I've still got the remnants 14 days later. It's one awful virus.
    Swissmiss - that's very bad news, coming at the start of a brand new year. Very sorry.

    <3 Phoebe, congrats to you and Honey...you will have a great life together

    <3 Jackie, thank for the darling video of George

    smiley-sleep012.gifI'm getting ready to take a shower and go to bed early so we can get up early enough to leave the house at 5 AM to head off to the other side of the Puget Sound for an all day meeting....any trip that includes a ferry ride is a great trip.

  • Becky, so sorry, that is very sad news for your family. I hope we all avoid falls this year. Jim fell too many times in 2014

    Hi to you all from snowy Saskatchewan! Wishing each of you a wonderful 2015!
    We brought in the new year at our son and dil's. It was a lot of fun.
    I found a few of my lost pounds over the holidays so have to get to work on that quickly!
    I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on your lives!

    I will be back soon. Take care and keep smiling! Gayla :)

    <3 Gsyla welcome back. I knew you would be back with your friends one day.

    Kay Marshall had a note on facebook that she has been WW for 15 years I believe I think you , Phoebe and I joined the Wendy plan in 2003 that makes it 12 years ago we have known each other. Long time ago and we are still struggling to reach our goal. But we have not given up the ship. nor shall we. I am grateful for a lot of the Wendy Plan girls are posting on Facebook. All but Wendy. Wonder what happen to her? she just banded us without a trace. I may be wrong of these dates.

    :D Sandi I don't think anyone knows how to get our ticker to come up on our posting auto matic. other than Copy and paste. and that's too much trouble it still show up on your profile page though.

    <3 Becky. so sorry for the family Sending prayers


    (*) Phoebe I am so anxious for you to bring Honey home with you.. H looks like a dog you can really love. hope
    the kitties will accept her

    hugs Marie

    Thank you to all my wonderful friends at this group. The prayers are so needed. I am getting ready to contact my daughter to see if they need anything.
  • Lin - thank you for the lovely comments and encouragement, they are much appreciated. But how do I comment on your status on the home page? I haven't got the hang of this yet. In fact I'm a learner because my iPad was a gift a few months ago, and I went on the Internet for the first time. Anyway, I need to be able to be a two way friend as it where. Any help would be appreciated.
    - Anne.

    Anne - you should be able to comment on anything I post from your newsfeed page---that's the page where anything your friends post will show up for you to read. I don't usually post there each day but you never know, I can get chatty.

    Busy morning on the telephone today. My dad and trying to check on my dad's cousin who usually comes to visit him on a regular basis but hasn't been there for a while. I started to wonder how he's doing as well as he is 89 and so much flu going around. Anyway, as far as I know it's all straightened out now and his cousin is planning to visit him today before we get those dangerous wind chills overnight.

    So now I'm catching up on all my email after a nice long shower!

    Good morning......

    Happy Saturday!! :D Alone at last. Don't get me wrong I love my cousin but I love being alone more. I personally think she traveled too soon after chemo and was low in resistance. She ended up going to urgent care once she was home for the UTI but since she couldn't pee there she has to go back today.
    I really don't want to sound mean but I did feel she was a little needy but under her circumstances she deserves to be. She did a little complaining about her daughter who moved her to Virginia and has been there for her the whole time so I kind of put things in perspective for her and told her some of the things Phil has said to me and she said her problems were nothing. Glad I could help. B)

    Our weather is kinds of bad with rain and sleet making things slippery. My cleaning girl is coming anyway so at least my house will be clean. I had taken down all the decorations Thursday. If the weather clears up I will go to Mass with Babe and probably out to dinner, if not I will go tomorrow. I am hoping my cleaning girl can help me move my bike back to my living room so I can start exercising asap. I hate that I put on this extra weight but it is my own fault eating everything in sight. :# The cruise is only two months away so I will be working hard until then. I start watching Robby Monday and I do miss him. Lisa's mom leaves the 28th and then it will be five days a week. Good thing I have the cruise to look forward.

    Anne, I am going to try and give you some instructions and hope I don't confuse you.
    On the top of this forum page where the title Myfitnesspal is shown there is a link to MY HOME.
    On the home page is where people leave comments....under their comments there are two blue links...one says Like the other Comment. If you like something someone says you click on like. If you want to leave a comment, click on comment and your picture will show with a box next to it. That is where you leave your comment and when done click on comment under your response. Hope that makes sense.

    As far as the ticker...on the same page MY HOME ...you click on Apps.then you click on tickers..click on the get code for ticker......where it says installing ticker click on the blue link in the sentence that says Forum Settings. Click on the little box next to where it says show ticker on post and it will appear when you post.

    I hope this helps you, I know how frustrating it is trying to learn a computer and new sites. Just glad you joined us and are staying with us.

    Have a great day.
    Sandy
