Linda ~ What a nice looking family!
DJ ~ I also prefer LOL. I am a slow learner and had no idea what most of the internet short cut abbreviations were until about a year ago.
Joyce ~ Hopefully your week of tree removal is over. When our son was renting a house from us, we gave him the money to pay for some trees to be removed and he made the mistake of giving them the check before they got the fallen trees up. My DH and I ended up having to haul the pieces into a wooded area nearby. What a job.
Lillian ~ Hope your cold is better.
Michelle ~ You are one of the busiest people around. Making the game playable in the pool was so clever.
Grits ~ You have some really fun memories of childhood.
Have to go to the post office and the Walmart Market so must get up and get going. I want to get my hair cut to just below my ears but can't decide whether to do it or not. Having it hanging down around my face is no fun.

morning peeps and new peep-seeezzzzzz-
mtowne - i have been here for a bit and i STILL don't know who is who. i just know them from their profile name... don't worry about it. LOLOL. maybe you should get addited to music and an ipod. good music that gets you going and makes you wanna dance. make a playlist, you'll find you'll burn more calories cuz you're moving more. good luck! 8-1/2lbs in a week, that is AWESOME!!, everybody's gotta poop.
fanncy - that is awesome to hear about your NSV!
jmkmom - why did u have the milky way :0(... there are ALWAYS going to be a time when you feel bad, but you can't let food be what you turn to. you know what there needs to be around here? a sponsor phone thing like AA has. when they feel like drinking, they call their sponsor. so when you feel like eating shi$t you call a sponsor.
lhannon - hope your new hire works out for you
well, today is bone doc day. I get off at 2:45 and my appointment is at 4:15. this will give me time to ride there and not push myself, I would guess maybe 12 miles? uphill ones, :0/. got my list of questions and we'll see what shakes. Kirby told me to ask if we do decide on surgery, will I be able to drive. i'm right handed so i'm confident, i'll be able to drive if I had to no big deal. you bet that i'm gonna c if I will still be able to ride the bike or not... still below my goal weight so i'm okay with it. this Saturday we are going to meet a bunch of Kirby's co workers at a dog park place that is by water and everyone is going to bring their dogs. everyone is eager to meet Yogi. he's become quite the catcher and retriever and LOVES the water. I have to make sure that Kirby does watch them more than me cuz i'll have FULL use of the right hand and not as much power on the left. oh, there will be booze and food there too.
yesterday for a bit we had thunder which was unusual. I love thunder but it's not as loud here as it is in the Midwest, that thunder there is cool!

Grits, that's exactly why I changed my name when I got married. I vowed that my own children would be called by their first name, not middle. Nobody questioned it. Got my SS card first, showed my marriage license and filled out a change of name form. I used that to get a drivers license. Filled out a change of name on my teaching certificate and just started using it. When I went to graduate school at GA Southern: new name. The only places where Melinda still appears are my birth certificate, my marriage certificate, my high school and my UGA diplomas. I still think Melinda is prettier than Kay. For some reason I've ways liked two syllable names better. That's why I like it when you guys call me Katie. You are the only ones who do. My daughter, who is also on MFP, thinks it is hilarious.
I do have two cousins who still call me Katiebug, my nickname from Daddy's side of the family.0 -
Joyce, Indiana -So did you catch the part when I said I had lost 4 pounds????
I’m so glad you went back to that point. Good not to lose the happy in the midst of the frustrating. Yay you!!!!
DJ Myrtle Beach, SC – I suspect you and I would be great friends if we ever met face-to-face. I love to laugh out loud. Life is too short to take everything too seriously. Besides, I think a good belly laugh is good medicine. Now, how do you feel about hugs? I once read that 8 hugs a day is the minimum needed for optimal health. I make sure I get my minimum every day and usually exceed my requirement.
Miriam – So sorry to read you lost one of your cats. It’s so hard to say good-bye to our furry companions.
Interesting to read about names and how each of us has decided to do different things with our names. When I was trying on wedding dresses the sales clerk asked me what my married name was going to be. I replied that I didn’t know. “You don’t know who you are marrying?” she squawked. “Of course I know his name.” was my reply, “I just haven’t decided what last name I am going to use.” She was horrified. Seemed reasonable to me. After all, none of my father’s family had boys to carry on the last name. My cousins and I were the last of the family line bearing my maiden name. I had a deep dislike for my middle name. The only time I heard it was when I was in deep trouble and about to get a sore rear end. My final decision (and I made it legal) was to drop the middle name and use the maiden name as my middle name and DH’s last name as my last name. I had a friend who kept her maiden name and it caused all sorts of havoc when her children were young and had two parents with different last names.

Tracie – when I have enough strength, while DS and DH are eating ice cream, I have a big glass of skim or 1% milk. Most of the time that works. But I’m at the beginning of my journey still, so my strength comes and goes.
Hugs ! Terri in Milwaukee[/quote]
@terri_mom : I'll try it. Thanks. That might be just enough to take the nausea away. I take medications in the evening that make my stomach nauseous and ice cream was my go-to, but a glass of milk might be just enough to coat my stomach. Thank you!0 -
Happy Thursday ! ! !
Drkatiebug – No, I never watched daytime Soap Operas. I always worked either first or third shift. I bet he was a cutie, though. Yes, Linda/ca, I am willing to share with you, too.
Gayle – you are not alone having some of your post “disappear”. I type mine in an e-mail to myself, then copy/paste into the box. That way if I hit a wrong button along the way, I can get it from my sent folder, and just have to start again where I left off. But I don’t see the 3 dots you mention.
Miriam – Hugs for you and your cat.
Becca – That’s awful behavior from your TOPS member in the weigh room. I’m so proud of you holding your tongue until a quiet moment. That’s a hard thing to do. I hope you and your sis are able to support each other.
Melinda – Welcome. Let me know in advance next year of Cherry season, so we can invade your brother and eat all his cherries (lol). 8 pounds in 1 week, WOW ! ! ! I understand the produce situation. We have been discussing colonoscopy prep, so your issue is right on task (but be forewarned about using the word poop, because Pip likes to be called that sometimes lol ).
Mary – The most I have every won in a lottery is $7, and one time I won $100 on a scratch off. I win stuff from the radio stations because my Dad and his friend and I share code words to get tons of points. But it is supposed to be 90 degrees tonight, so I think I’m going to walk to get my last box of cream puffs and see if I can give away or sell my tickets. At 9:00am I’m going to try to win Heart tickets at Riverside Theater on my Birthday. Wouldn’t that be a fun birthday present? We’ll see if I can get through. // Update. I won ! I was the 15th caller, so I won tickets for the December 7 performance ! ! !
Joyce – your shopping trip was a wonderful NSV. It is so frustrating to have other stressors in our life, then lock ourselves out of somewhere. I’m glad everything is okay now. And Congrats on the loss !
Linda – what a beautiful family. You all look so much alike it amazes me. I hope everyone in Milwaukee was good to you (the driving can be crazy).
Last night I held all 3 planks for 30 seconds (I stopped doing them again for some reason, so I'm hoping this is the re-start of a habit). I also rode the bike for 10 minutes (my toe isn't as swollen as yesterday). I should have time for the handbike at lunch again. Add that to the walking I will do regardless of what my decision is about the State Fair, and I should be having a pretty good day today. If I stay home tonight I will try baking the cod in the oven instead of the Foreman Grill (it tends to fall apart).
At the Fair on Sunday I got a henna tattoo of a Peace Flower. My DH just noticed it Tuesday night. He asked me last night how long it will be there, because he thought it should have washed off the first day. I said "you touched it, does it feel temporary?" He curled his nose at me and refused to respond until I told him it will only last 1-2 weeks (neither of us has any real tattoos, and he likes it that way).
DS is lifting weights with the basketball team again today, and Sport Bowling starts next Wednesday. I'm SO looking forward to my Big Lots trip.
Back to work. Hugs for Everyone ! ! !

Joyce - hap, hap, HAPPY dance for you. Four pounds is terrific. If I lost that much you'd probably hear me squealing clear to your house. No fist fighting over Shemar, can't promise there won't be a little cat fight and hair pulling. Ha!
Mary - thanks for the sweet words.

Linda/IA - beautiful pic of your family. Had to look close to decide which was you. You're a spring chicken as us oldies say.

MNMargaret: That has been the hardest thing for me. Nutrition advice is the one thing I really wish they would have focused on during and after chemo. My body has never really bounced back so I've begun seeing a wellness and lifestyle coach to try to get back on track. I agree with you that I need to watch sugar intake and watch the insulin spike. That's a biggie. I have pretty much cut out all sweets except my nightly bowl of ice cream and beginning this week am really working on that one. Last night I went without...one day in a row. ha! But one day at a time, right?
linda/ca: I like the idea of ice, banana and almond milk blended. I'll have to pick up some bananas and try that tonight. At least I won't feel left out.
I picked up a book yesterday called "52 Small Changes: One Year to a Happier Healthier You". Each of the 52 changes is a chapter on a small change for each week of the year. I'm working on chapter 1 this week which is called "Week 1: Drink Up!". So my focus this week is on drinking ten 8-oz glasses of water throughout the day, one before each meal and one almost hourly besides that. There are other hints for hydration in the chapter but that is the small change I'm trying to incorporate this week. Next week I will add another small change, and on and on. Hoping if I take this in small steps instead of making myself a huge goal and then quitting when I feel like I've failed, I might actually feel good again sometime in the near future. Now, wouldn't that be something?!
I hope you all have a wonderful day! I love this forum.
Tracie in Green Bay0 -
O'Connell - that indeed "would be something". Hang in the and stay focused on that one day y at a time goal. As Barbie says, "now" is all we really have. You go girl! Is there a name you go by other than your profile name.

Hi all!
Chillaxing this pm. Phew! :bigsmile: How lovely it is to have our house to ourselves. For a few days!
Cleared out the disgusting bathroom carpet this pm. Yuck, yuck and double yuck!
Underneath it was a sandy beach from the decaying rubber backing. Swept all that up and mopped the floor.
Good job the cleaner couldn't come as the upstairs is chaos. The vinyl fitters come tomorrow and she may make it on Monday if her back is better. I hope so as we are away Monday in London with the grandchildren and another visitor arrives on Tuesday.
Duck legs tonight. Slowly roasting right now.
I have posted a photo of DH and my friend in the New Forest yesterday. Long walk!
Love Heather UK0 -
talking about names - first and foremost, I have ALWAYS hated my first name (and DON'T tell me, awwwww, but it's such a beautiful name, yeah yeah, blah blah blah), I did LOVE my maiden last name. so when I was home. we never had a first name as a middle name, we had our mothers maiden name in there then our dads last name, so it was:
Isabel Garcia Melgoza
when you get married, you drop the maiden name and your last name becomes your maiden name then you take the last name of the person you married. After each divorce I changed my name back to my maiden name.
Husband #1 - name became Isabel Melgoza Garcia
Husband #2 - name became Isabel Melgoza Ketchum
Husband #3 - name became Isabel Melgoza Goodell
After Lenny died (#3) I decided to keep his name the way it was
When I got to marry #4, I decided to drop my maiden name because it would have been too long if I would have kept it. so my name is now Isabel Goodell Schlotterback
NO ONE addresses me as Isabel, I won't answer to it. The only people that I will take it from are family because I have to and people that I initially meet. but I do tell them that I prefer to be called izzy or iz.. I prefer iz the best. in this group, I prefer pip or poop.

Carol - I'm sorry the dark has got hold of you at the moment. Just remember it's not permanent and that people care about you.
Terry - Hands off Vin Diesel, he's mine! My husband says if I bring Vin home I can keep him.
Heather - Ginger ice cream sounds delicious! I love ice cream, and at least if you make it at home you can control what's in it.
Miriam - I'm so sorry about your cat. Those of us who share our lives with animals have to have brave hearts, because we go into it knowing they'll be broken over and over again. One of my cats is getting up there in age, and I already know I'm going to be devastated when the time comes.
Lisa - I still reread Little Women now and then!
Katie & GRITS - I also go by my middle name. I like my first name just fine but it was the same as my mom's and she was using it. Now that security everywhere has gotten so tight I use my first name much more often, but only on paperwork (which I sign first initial, middle name, last name). If people ask for Camille on the phone, I know they don't know me. Anyhow, I changed my name to middle, maiden, married for my first marriage but it was always a struggle to preserve my middle name legally. I took my full maiden name back when I divorced, and that was plenty of name changing for me. My husband likes to tell people he kept his own name when we got married.
I'm somewhat stuck on weight loss at the moment, mostly because I've been too lazy to work out very much, but this has been a great week for discoveries: 1) Cooking Light's shrimp and grits recipe, so yummy and under 300 calories a serving! 2) Elizabeth Duncan's Penny Brannigan mysteries. 3) The suggestion of bumping down the fat content of peanut butter by mixing half and half with canned pumpkin. I must try that last one - I've been a greyhound foster mom for years and we always have unsweetened, canned pumpkin puree on hand for various doggy digestive crises.

Thanks for all the good wishes! Taking it a day at a time...
Quick question: I've never suffered too much from hot flashes (had my share when I was doing simulated menopause back at age 27). I have been suddenly getting hot without reason and I would chalk it up to hot flashes but I also get very nauseated at the same time. It's been happening for about 10 days or so. Normal? Or just another weird thing to add to my litany?

afternoon kiddo's~
well i just down 10 minutes ago from 7 this morning,and im not even close to 4,000 steps geesh..
went and fed my DFIL,then went grocery shopping...i did well, and my produce and fruit drawers are full...
bought soem things for our little get together saterday night.
we are selling our 3rd car which is a chevy traverse, wonderful wonderful suv great on long trips, but we will get a good price and we will pay off my car...
didn't get to the gym today as I have been running since 7, and now onto making beds and dinner and lunches
I go by my first name.. or nickname Allie,but I had CB radio as a teen and my handle was Ace.. so a few people call me that.. I use my 1st husbands last initial as my middle.. and Tom's last name.. when I married Tom I used his last name but if it had to do with any school issues I would use it hyphenated0 -
I eventually went back to my maiden name after my divorce. It took ages notifying everyone. When I married DH my passport was still in my old married name so I changed it to my maiden name and decided to keep it all like that as I couldn't face changing everything all over again. It occasionally causes a small confusion, but it's more common these days to have a different name. I do get called Mrs though when I prefer Ms.
The only trouble was that I had forgotten I had booked my honeymoon plane ticket in my old passport name. That took a lot of unravelling and some money.
Heather UK0 -
Holy moly, it's hot out there. We're having a big party the first week of September and we have a lot of yard work to do before then so my husband and I went out to start taking out some overgrown cactus. I managed a few minutes of chainsawing and was already dizzy and shaking when I came back in. I think we'd better leave the yard work for the mornings from now on. This is why the only exercise I'm getting is the kind I can do in the house.

On the way home we stopped and picked up a pizza and snacks. When we got back on the road she said I can't believe how much food you can eat and not get fat. I said it's because of the weight lifting the muscle burns so much more calories than fat. My sister in law will be 70 years old next month. She then said can you show me how to lift weights I would like to tighten up my tummy! Starting next Tuesday she is going to be coming over to my house to start lifting with my 12.5 lb barbell. Mary from Minnesota
Curious if I could do the 5x5 program with dumbbells at home? I have fashioned a program for myself but don't feel I am getting the max results that I could be.
Cheri
You can use the Dumbbells but you don't get ttsupport of the bar resting on your back during the squats but it is still doable. Just continue to up your weight a lb or so after the first week. Good form first.

Happy Thursday ladies! Well I am working my long shift today 6-5:30. Not working with the boss so that starts my day out well. Last evening DGD and DH and I took the dogs to Hall County park for the walk. Not sure what happened but about 3/4 the way I got really light headed and dizzy. Made it back to the car and felt better after awhile. I asked DGD about her first day at school and how the ball worked out. She said 4 of the children fell off their balls. So tonight have to make sure I take a drink with me and not leave it in the car. Ate well again yesterday so happy about that.
DJ-- I put $2 bills in all my grandchildren's birthday cards. They look forward to them. My DGS that started college last year told me he has kept all his and my DGD in Omaha that is 15 also has. I guess I think it is making memories.
Allison--Great news on the doctor report.
Lisa--That person sounds like a real nut. Glad the DM is backing you up. Sure hope you enjoy your trip and visit with DS.
Cheri--Thanks for sharing the pictures. Sure looks like a real nice place.
Heather--Great news on the sale of your rental. Pray everything goes with any problems. So glad you were not hurt when the light fell. How scary. Like the picture, beautiful country.
Tracie--Welcome, you have come to a great place for support and friendship.
miriam--Sorry about the loss of your furbaby. HUGS
Joyce--HUGS! Why is it we have so much trouble talking to people about a job we hire them for? I do the same thing and when all is said and done, they are paid and I am unhappy.
Linda--Nice looking group at the ball game. Thanks for sharing.
Well I am caught up and out of news. Having some pain in my neck today and head hurts. So will go for now and be back tomorrow.
Blessings, Vicki GI NE0 -
Thanks to everyone who commented on the pic of my family. I do think my hubby and daughters are quite the cuties.
@Terri_mom – Milwaukee was good, but there were no hotel rooms due to the state fair. Those cream puffs really do draw a crowd. I have to agree they are good; I had one a couple years ago. We ended up driving to Madison after the game which was fine because it took a little time off our drive on Sunday. My daughters come home from their church trip every year with henna tattoos. They are usually gone within a couple of weeks or sooner if they are in the pool a lot.
On the name… I couldn’t wait to change my name when I got married. My maiden name was Stephany and I can’t tell you how many times people thought I was giving them my first name instead of my surname. I never thought of keeping it as my middle name at the time. But we did use it for daughter#1’s middle name.
Looks like we will become foster parents to a family of kitties. We are getting a nursing mom and 4 kittens tonight. More than we originally wanted but we should only have them for a couple of months before they are ready for adoption.
My scale went down this morning so those 3 pounds that keep haunting me are gone for the moment. Hoping they are gone for good this time. Need to kick it up a notch if I'm going to meet my pound a week goal for August.

NCCarol - There are times when my hot flashes are so severe that I feel nauseated. There are times that I lie on the kitchen floor in front of the open refrigerator. I am not a candidate for HRT, so I take vitamins with high levels of soy and/or black cohosh.
Yvonne - you're just going to have to share. Since I'm already sharing Shemar, I shouldn't need Vin more than once a week
Names: My legal name started as Theresa Lynn Stamm. When I married the first time I changed my last name to Riley. Since we had a daughter, I kept it after my divorce until years later when I remarried and changed it to Fakler (daughter wanted to hyphenate her name, but her dad refused). I have always been called Terri, which right now is convenient, because my current MIL's name is Theresa E. Fakler. For Facebook I use Terri (Stamm Riley) Fakler. I know, boring.
My Dad found someone who wants to see Justin Moore tonight, so he just stopped in to take my tickets to her. It's not worth sitting in that 90 degree heat (after all, he's no Aretha).
Today at lunch my guacamole tasted gross, so all I had was romainne and tomato. Luckily I had some greek yogurt and an peach. I forgot my cherries at home, but I have a mango for my snack later. Lots of roughage, yay !
TaTa and Hugs !
Terri in Milwaukee0 -
Tracie, thanks. You had probably told us that sometime before, but I missed it and/or forgot lol Sorry.
My maiden name was Kerr, so I grew up Janet Raye Kerr, marriage #1 Litz, #2 Leonard and now #3 Smith. My second oldest niece used to call me Janet Ray Kerr Litz Leonard Smith. Finally said that's just too long and now just calls me Janet Smith, duh, that's my name lol

Hi ladies! I've been reading!!
My back (hurt Saturday) is finally feeling better ... Probably at 90%
Had to take the week off from work ... I'm a large church's custodian / housekeeper ... Which is Partly responsible for overtaxing my back to begin with. The rest has done it wonders. My husband took off too ... We've both decided we really like NOT working!
A variety of circumstances delayed my husband's and my August 11th anniversary dinner ... We're planning to go out tonight if husband gets older son's 55" TV installed at his place. It was s gift, but really, who needs a 55" TV??
Yvonne ... Pumpkin for doggy digestive problems?
Heather ... Hurray on the rental sale!
Alison ... Your comment that your husband was back to his "crotchety old self" after learning you were ok made me wonder if some of his recent problems have been in part because he's been frightened about your health? Granted, a very backwards way of dealing with it ... Wanting to run ... But a possibility ?And I'm going to put another thought out there ... You are a person of value and great worth ... I and others admire your great generosity and kindness with others. But you rarely see yourself as being worthy of the same treatment. When we project a message that we somehow have less value than others, we are often treated that way. Terri wears a princess crown when her guys are forgetting her worth ... You might want to send Tom a similar message. I've probably said too much but I really do wish you recognized how valuable you are and that you are owed the same considerations you give so freely.
Pip ... I loved ALL of your names! Well, except for poop ...
Miriam ... Glad to see you back!
Carol .... Hope you're soon out of your dark place ... :flower:
Vicki ... 125 pounds! Fantastic!
Joyce ... I consider one Milky Way a huge success!
Betty in WNY ... I initially lost 72 pounds, but over the past year have allowed 21 to find me again ...
Well, time to move my back ... One position too long aggravates.

Beth - Canned pumpkin is one of the essentials in the doggy emergency kit. Doesn't matter if the dog is constipated or has diarrhea, it helps in most cases and I've never had a dog that didn't like it. It's pretty common for foster dogs to have problems because their diet changes as they transition from wherever they started to foster care to a permanent home. When a dog has digestive problems, I'll withhold regular food and give pumpkin for 24 hours or so, along with Pedialyte if I'm worried about dehydration. If that doesn't work we head for the vet, but pumpkin has saved a lot of vet trips.
I also use canned pumpkin and/or banana mixed with plain yogurt to make doggy popsicles in the summer.
-Yvonne in TX (getting ready for foster dog #50)0 -
Beth~ thank you for the vote of confidence and I guess you are right.. because at work all I get is *kitten* ...
I keep quiet at work and dont complain to much because I dont want to get fired...
It has been a busy busy day for me.. so even though I didn't work out.. I haven't been lolly gagging either...
but the fridge and the freezer are full, truly blessed.. got DFIL, his Wheaties, candy and cookies... the poor man worked all his life and we like spoiling him now, and the mini candies are real handy with getting his pills down him.. if Im not there when they give it to him they just tell him there are nuts in it
he went crazy in the dining room last night I guess throwing cups and stuff.. so I am sure they gave him tramadol to chill him out...
I said I dont care what you give him so long as it isn't depakote...
tomorrow is another day.. the female Dr that we have now is buying out the original owner/dentist's share which is 60% which will now make her our boss... wondering what changes will be implamented...
Keri's last day of work is a week from tomorrow and we are going to miss her,, she has such a wonderful laugh,,
we are taking Mary(troll) and Diane out for brunch on the 30th at a vineyard.. they both turn 50 this month...
will get up early and get to the gym.. as next week will be a doozy. not used to working 40 hrs, Zina will be on vacation...0 -
Yvonne ... Thanks for that info! I have a 10 yo black lab who had had digestive woes off and on since his puppy days (he eats what he shouldn't). I usually go to boiled beef and rice ... This would be good if unable to go to my regular route.
Alison ... Changes in the office might be a good time to assert yourself!
Terri ... Shaking my head ... Keep them on their toes!
Beth0 -
good eve.Back is a lot better.saw dr yesterday,off the muscle relaxants.Gonna give it a week or so and try again with some stretches etc.
