    good morning, Yes Jo the gift cards are cheaper as a member it is like 20.00 dollars cheaper per gift card to me it is worth it. Went for our walk this morning it is cold and windy out there. I am happy to say I lost the 3 pounds I put on the holiday. Hi Roger and Vix
    Hi Irene
    I was slightly overdressed for the weather and ended up wishing I had wore lighter gloves as my hands started sweating in the mittens and with them off they were cold.

    I wish My brother and I could say the Thanksgiving weight has vanished, Still working at that here.

    Congratulations on the weight loss

    Good morning.
    Jo, sorry to hear about your eyes. I've been getting checked for glaucoma for years. Both my mother and sister had/have that. Slight changes for me, but still ok.
    After the perio visit, I had to make an appt with an endodontist...that will be next week...and yes this is not good, but I'll do what I need to try and save my teeth. So glad I have dental insurance!
    Irene, congrats on the weight lost! Yay!
    Roger, 29 here at the moment with a high of 40 for the day. Glad it is warming up over the weekend, we will be in the mountains, and don't want icy roads! Me too...it will take a while to lose the Thanksgiving pounds. :(
    I finished foiling 2 of the stained glass pieces last night. I will solder them next week in class. I'm making doves for the holidays. One for us, and then some as gifts. I still have to cut the glass for the other 3.
    I made a couple of pair of earings in pottery class, and put the wires on them yesterday.
    And I'm working on knitting a stroller blanket for my future grandson.
    Painting class this a.m.
    Happy Thursday, everyone. :)

    Good afternoon;
    I got out of work early again today. It has been really slow at work.
    Irene and Roger-thanks on the information about Costco.
    Vix-Sorry to hear bout your teeth. Have fun in the mountains this weekend.
    I have lost the few pound that I gained over Thanksgiving. It is slow going, a few ounces at a time. I have been following NS religiously. I think I have to up my exercise, so I am going to the gym with my daughter on Saturday. If I like her gym, I may join.
    Have a great day!

    I just posted more humor

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 37 degrees. There was a light breeze blowing that caused no discomfort.

    We have a mailer that is good for $10 at the local diner that expires today, thus we are having Brunch with a friend. This may not be good for my waistline :(
    There is some rain in the forecast for the weekend, The plus is that if the weather forecast has the timing right they will have no impact on my walking.

    Hi Vix
    In order I worry about my mobility, eyesight, Hearing and teeth. The mobility and eyesight are equal IMO. So far so good as far as I know for all of those.

    Thinking about it I suspect that the Brunch later today will be bad for my waistline :( OTOH it has been a while since we met with our friend and sadly the other one that was called to join us is tied up.

    When You say foiling what comes to mind is a thin foil, Do You mean the lead that the hold the glass ?

    Pottery Earrings, interesting. We have some Christmas tree decorations that were molded, painted and then fired by a family member.

    You are so busy that I get tired reading about everything :wink:

    Good Luck With Your Teeth

    Hi Joanne
    Was it slow leading up to Thanksgiving too or only after that ?

    IMO 1 or 2 pounds a week is a good rate of loss, once the initial Water loss has happened.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning.
    Roger, there is a sticky copper thin roll of foil that you put around each piece of glass. The solder won't stick to glass, so the foil is needed to put the pieces together with solder. It's time consuming and kind of hard on the eyes to center the edges of the glass and then stick the foil on and burnish it so it stays. (Your list of things to worry about is pretty close to mine. )
    Jo, congrats on losing the Thanksgiving weight. Good luck at the gym.
    Hi Irene.
    I had a girls' night out last night. Didn't realize my friends were taking me out for my birthday, so overate again, and the weight just popped right back on.
    Going away for the weekend with the kids. I've been looking forward to it.
    Have a great weekend, everyone. :)

    I shall be posting more humor shortly

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and for once 1 beat up penny was found. The Temperature out the door was 30 degrees. Yesterday was a dingy looking day that had some rain after noon, it started spritzing on the return home from our brunch with a friend. For Friday we did good to get past the low 40s, Today, Saturday is forecast to be in the 50s with rain forecast for later and predicted to continue into Sunday a high of 60 Degrees.

    I am in the process of finalizing a Christmas gift package to be shipped to my sister. I am packing a Flat Rate USPS box. Since the price is the same no matter what the weight I am thinking of putting in some surplus NS snacks so they do not expire. A note explaining that they are just there as filler naturally.

    Hi Vix
    As I understand it You solder the copper foil to hold the glass together then. These are what I was thinking You used for Your stained glass. From Your description of how You do it I wonder if the lead came where You put the glass into the channel and then solder the lead would be easier.

    Overeating is so easy to do when eating away from home. I am sure I would not be happy if I got on the scale today after yesterdays Brunch with my brother and a friend.

    Enjoy Your Weekend Trip

    Humor has been posted, I hope You enjoy them

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and not even one penny was found. The Temperature out the door was 47 degrees. The rain arrived on schedule per yesterdays weather forecast and is still falling currently. The forecast high for today is 60 degrees then starting Monday the temperatures drop for the rest of the week with a period of dry weather for most of the week.

    I finally got around to putting the wireless Keyboard and Mouse I bought a while ago on this computer. I'm not saying it may have been sitting on the shelf in the basement a long time but the enclosed batteries from Logitech were leaking and corroded. I am much happier with no mouse wire and the switch freed up a USB port so that I do not need to order a new USB hub to replace the one that died recently. Not to mention that the left shift key which is the one I use has been getting flaky .

    Hi Joanne
    I know I am not in as good as shape as I was last year, I need to tighten up on my exercising.
    $35 Sounds like a decent price and I would bet that quitting is easier than at the commercial gyms. I have heard many complaints that they make You jump through hoops to quit if it is even possible without paying for the year whether or not You are using it.

    What I have done is look through Mail Order Catalogs for gift Ideas, Something like this comes to mind, except that the Reviews indicate a poor build quality.

    I just posted more humor, Some truth in a couple of them :wink:

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and not one single solitary penny was found. The Temperature out the door was 54 degrees. From the weather forecast the overnight temperature will be the high for the day as they predict that temperatures will be dropping throughout the day. Yesterdays forecast high of 60 failed to materialize except in a few parts of NJ.
    Yesterdays rain ended on schedule, However things outside are still wet as it never really dried out. I did see one Lobe Deer running around while walking.
