    Happy Thursday ! ! !

    Kate - *****kick*****

    Carol – enjoy the handbike. The first few times I used it I felt silly. Now it is just another machine that I use. It is nice for when my knees hurt, and it forces me to think about my posture. If I lift the pressure off my feet, it makes me pull in my abdominals, so it helps with my core, too. I’m so excited for you ! ! ! // Last year when I broke my arm, I made a standing appointment at the Beauty School nearby for a hair wash. It was COMPLETELY worth it. Granted, I was able to work and collect Work Comp, but it was worth it. I even went enough times to earn a free facial (I should cash that in soon).

    Joyce – Some baseball Mom’s and I had fun with my MFP app last night during the slow parts of the game. We all wanted something sweet, and no one wanted to walk to the car and risk missing a kid do something remarkable. So, I punched in several different candies. We each had a mini-bottle of Gatorade instead. I was certain about the mistake I made for supper last night. We didn’t get home from baseball until past 9:30pm, DH stopped at Little Caesars and I declined. But once I got home and looked at the clock, I took my night-time medicine and ate 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza. There was just no way possible for me to make myself something healthy to eat, and it only put me about 80 calories over. If I go to bed hungry, I will wake up and eat those blasted pop-tarts again, and I would rather go over on pizza while awake than on pop tarts while ½ asleep. // Wow! The story about your FIL’s wife is awful. // Sorry you had to resort to the down and dirty pictures, but I certainly hope the treatments work for him.

    Allison – Hooray for the new gym. You’re dizzy too? Take Care !

    Lisa – best of luck. I’ve been called worse than a pitbull, so take it with a grain of salt, and the knowledge that he will displace blame wherever possible. Keep up the good work.

    Grits – All I can say is: Wow, that Sucks ! Please accept a huge (((((HUG))))) from me, over and over again.

    Lori – WooHoo ! ! !

    Miriam – Hugs and Prayers ! ! !

    CPAP – Since I wake up rested after a normal night of sleep, I question if my sleep apnea is as bad as the Doctor suggests. Since I have a herniated disc and RA, it’s just hard for me to roll over in bed, so I think that is when I stop breathing. Either way, I will get the mouthpiece instead of the CPAP. I tried the CPAP, and I CANNOT keep it on while having a hot flash, then I forget to put it back on when the hot flash is over and I fall back to sleep. Both are $200 after my Insurance Deductible, so I’m going to try the mouth piece next.

    Payne just stopped in to do a quick check of his vision, because he is swinging later than usual at pitches (lots of foul balls). His depth perception is slightly off, and he seems to be right-eye dominant, so we are going to work on his left-hand batting until next year’s try-outs. It would be great if Dad could teach him to be a switch-hitter. He likes that idea, too. Yay? More time at the batting cages.

    It has been a busy day here, and I need to start my closing routine, so I will try to catch up again tomorrow. Sorry to everyone for whom I was unable to respond. Know I keep you all in my hugs and prayers, my dear friends. And thank you for being there for me. Tonight - Open Class Home Run Derby.

    Hugs for Everyone ! ! !

    Good early evening beautiful ladies :flowerforyou:

    Michele :) Love the turtle!!!! Wish I was going to be in town on Aug. 30th, I'll be at the beach celebrating my friends 60th birthday. I know you guys will have a wonderful time!!!

    Margaret :) I love all the quotes, thank you for sharing!

    Meg :) Glad the new meds are helping hubby! I know you're going to love your new floors, even if they are an inconvenience right now! Does Benny like you carrying him? Noel loves for me to carry her around.

    Becca :) Love, love, love the dress!!!! You are a sexy sassy lady :smokin:!!! Have you thought about wearing a nude shoe or sandal? I think that color would look awesome with that dress! I still wear high heels, I love being taller than I really am :laugh:! Of course I've been wearing them for years so I'm used to them. You really look great in the dress!!!

    Katla :) Hope you had a good visit with the Dr. today!

    Mary :) Glad you're having a great time with the grandkids and the puppy <3 !!!

    DJ :) I love reading your posts!!! You always make me smile! When my granddaughters are at the beach, I will tell them to go by and see Mimi DJ (they call me Mimi :bigsmile:). They spend a lot of weekends over the summer at the beach. I've actually thought about buying a place either in NC or SC. I would love to have a place in Charleston, it's one of my favorite places ever! After a weekend with my girls you would be worn out, but you would have had tons of fun and lots of laughs!!! They are in my profile pic. I took them to play miniature golf the other day, we had lots of laughs!!!

    Joyce :) I'm so glad Charlie decided to get treatment! Good for you showing him what might could happen!

    Terri :) I couldn't eat pizza at 9:30 at night :noway: , I would either have nightmares or heartburn :# !!! Baseball is my favorite sport, tell your son I'm cheering for him!!!

    Carol in NC :) Sure hope you get to feeling better and better!!! I can't believe the Pastor of the church looking at his watch :angry: ! My granddaughters sounds a little like your son and daughter, the oldest one, she's 14, still says she's an only child :huh:, she tolerates her 8 yr sister :'( .

    Heather :) I just started your book last night :bigsmile:. I'm only on chapter 2, hopefully I will be able to get some reading in tonight! I'm liking what I'm reading so far!!! Hope DH will continue to do better!!! The spinach and feta pie (cake) looks awesome! I will be giving that a try!

    Alison :) I was going to ask if your ears are stopped up. My allergies have been horrible this year, much worse than last year. I'm taking Zyrtec and using Nasacort, my ears still hurt! I'm hoping I don't need antibiotics!! See a Dr. if you're still dizzy!

    Pip. :) Glad to see you back!!! Hope the Dr. appt. goes well, make sure you listen to what he says!!!

    Sending hugs to all those dealing with mental illness <3 , will be keeping you all in my prayers!!!

    I had the most unusual morning today. The lawn guys were here at 8:30 trying to mow before the rain, the dog despises it so she runs from window to window barking at the them, the phone rang off the hook, my phone kept cutting off in the middle of conversations :s , I was trying to get ready to leave the house, my brother popped by to say hi...I was ready to throw him and the dog out of the house, it was just chaos....then I went to put hairspray on my hair and dang if I didn't spray myself in the eyes :noway: :sad:, seems the nozzle was a little clogged so instead of spraying my hair, I got my face. By that point I was wondering if it was safe for me to leave the house :laugh: ! Thank goodness the day improved!!!

    Wishing you all a wonderful peaceful relaxing evening (or afternoon, morning etc!) !

    Hugs,
    DeeDee in NC

    How do you make this show up - either under your profile page or anywhere? I have an HP laptop and use Windows 8.1 - tried it once and it showed up and never again after that. Obviously I am doing something incorrectly.

    @terri_mom - I am terribly claustrophobic and I could not use the Cpap mask that covers nose and mouth. I finally went to the "Wisp" mask and could keep it in; headgear more comfortable too. If you think your settings are wrong, I'd suggest talking to the MD who put you in it. Maybe you need to have a 2nd sleep study done. My tubing is long and also has a piece to it that attaches to the mask (nose only) and I can turn over either way; but most of the time I sleep on my back - otherwise I tend to pull it out. I think you need to have a supplier who is willing to work with you on the mask. Could be that you are not getting a good seal to it. I ended up getting the small wisp mask when I had been using the medium/large. Made all the difference in the world. "IF" and that is a very big 'if' you think you really don't need it . . . try sleeping a night or two without it, write down how you feel the next day and then put it back on. I put my on the second I crawl into bed - and DH will poke me if I take it off and start snoring, telling me to put it back on. And I wasn't aware that it was off. Sleep apnea does not get 'cured' once you have been diagnosed with it.

    I go to my profile page and click on the words "add to your site" under your ticker tape then copy the BBcode and paste it each time I want to use it. If there is a way to make it show up as part of your signature automatically that would be easier.

    Just saw this on Facebook

    Cell Phone numbers are going to be released to telemarketers this month. You can be charged for calls from telemarketers. To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222. It is the national Do Not Call list and will block your number for 5 years. You must call from the number you want blocked. I just finished my phone and also DH's phone. Here is a link:
