    if we do. I don't get notications on 1-1-1 or the Sneakers. they are both groups.
    thanks for putting up with this old foggy.

    Good afternoon to my favorite friends on MFP.
    Seems like I have been busy the last few days. Had to bake a German Chocolate Cake today
    for a church function tomorrow. We will have Larnelle Harris in am and in concert tomorrow night.
    I have not had a chance to look at the new July 4th site. Sure is nice here.
    So happy to see most of the people back here from our original group.
    We are supposed to have bad weather tomorrow, possible big hail!!!

    I finally got to look at my threads. Not for long though. We have extra ballet rehearsals for both kidlettes today and every Saturday until Mother's Day weekend. I finally got my dry suit fixed. I swam with it today. OMG!!!!!! I worked twice as hard to swim today and I normally work twice as hard as normal people when I swim anyway because I dog paddle. So do I get to count that as vigorous swimming? I think so..... Man what a work out.

    @vicky1947mfp Just saw your post on the other thread. We're in North Dakota. Not strange for us to have snow still on the ground this time of year but it's been gone for a while now and I really don't want to see it again till next winter. We'll be going to North Carolina soon. Our daughter lives there with her family and we have talked about moving.

    So my weekly weigh-in........I finally broke the stalemate!!!!! I am now 260!!!!!!!!! So I have lost 6 for this challenge and 34 overall!!!!!

    The doc says the more weight I lose the better my knees will feel..........I'm still waiting for them to feel better. I told him the more I do the worse they feel. Imagine that. And then we wonder why my knee locks up and throws me down the stairs.........

    The nice thing about a thread (like this) is that you can bookmark it and then you'll get notifications or you can click the bookmark star and get to where you left off.

    The good thing about a group (like the new one for July 4) it that when you click on "Community", the group will be listed at the bottom of the list and you can go right to your group.

    I figured out that I am more likely to go to one of the threads that I post on rather than the groups because the bookmark star is at the top of the page and list of my groups is at the bottom.

    I spent so much time walking and riding my exercise bike today that I hardly had time for the computer.

    What an adorable baby! Tornado watch and flash flood watch here in Georgia. I am tired of the rain!
    The crawfish boil was too much fun which meant a late night for us but we enjoyed it. Not too sure about crawfish though.
    Cleaning and unpacking today and hoping we don't need to take shelter.

    Hope everyone has a happy Sunday!

    So nice to come here to see all the familiar names. A pleasure reading your post here.
    I am getting around on the new 4th group fairly well. I was a very confuse person yesterday Everything rolling around just fine now as far s I know.
    my other granddaughter is coming to Texas for the Country music awards tonight. She works for a Radio Station in St Louis and they gave her two 600 dollars tickets She will be out here tomorrow to take me out for lunch So Stephanie I too may have a cheat meal. Alice and I went to Jason Deli for lunch. Very nice lunch. But pile my plate too high with all the nice vegies, Boiled egg, Cheese had 2 T potatoe salad to get my carbs in.
    have a most wonderful Sunday

    Marie..we are in that 4th thread together..this one is yours, kiddo! :)

    I'm just wish I had thought to make it a group before it got out of hand.

    But, it's all good now and we are rolling with it. It has only been 2 weeks but seems longer. :#

    Gonna charge my iPad now.. Tornado warnings ;)

    You know........I sure like our home sweet home here on this thread. It feels like we are friends and not just a bunch of posts. I have made a few friends on the other as well but with so many people over there it is hard to be friends and support them all. I really like this much better.
