Mary! Poor Shep! I agree with the other advice.
Terri ... Good luck! Rosie ... You too!
Cheri ... That's the program I follow for decluttering ... Very effective and easy to do!
I'm staying on track but very hungry today! Waiting to eat my yogurt and then off to bed!0 -
Sylvia: Love the new computer bag & I'm pleased you like the new person in your studio. :flowerforyou:
I went to the doctor & he confirmed the wrist crack, but did't put me in a cast. YAY! I got a wrist brace instead that I can take off to shower and I have use of all of my fingers. Unfortunately, no riding this week. He'll check it again next week and we'll see. I am a lot more comfortable, and that is a big plus. I am not sure about yoga. I may give it a try Friday.

Mary, that woman needs to be slapped. Or treated the same way she treated that precious puppy. If the vet keeps her on then that behavior is being approved of, and you need a different vet. I had a trainer be mean
to my puppy (Molly) one time - JUST ONE - and it totally changed her personality. After 9 years she still isn't the happy friendly puppy she was before that happened.

Hi guys, Is it possible I haven't been here in two days? Where does the time go? Sounds like there are all sorts of things going on here but no way can I comment on 208 posts. I did see where the puppy trainer was mean? I'm with Sylvia...slap her. And find a new trainer. AND find a new vet and tell the one you have why. OK enough of my soapbox. Sorry.
I'll check in again tomorrow. Take care, Meg from Omaha where it is sleeting now.0 -
I thought I wasn't going to drive in more than 2 inches of snow this winter..... WELL ... I got caught at work -120 kms from home - and 4 inches of snow!!! Long trip home, thank goodness I do not have to work tomorrow.
Pip - I love your puppies!!
Welcome all the new people.

Good to have a recommendation on the program. It looks simple enough. Not a huge organizational mess in my home but I thought it would give me pause for a few minutes each day to tackle an area I might not look through on a regular basis and therefore "allow" me to get rid of unneeded items. Since we are on the cusp of a move anyways this seems like it would be helpful.
I also stayed on track today. I'M HUNGRY! Had my cottage cheese and fruit and heading to bed so I won't go back in the kitchen.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Ladies,
Robin, good for you on cutting out sugar. I think the longer it goes the easier it will get…..at least I hope so. Keep up the good work.
Katla, I know you will be so happy to get out of that temp cast! It will seem like tons of mobility with that hand, no matter how far they go with it.
Connie, welcome to a great place for support and information. Please tell us a little about yourself to help us get to know you. We also request that you sign each post with the name you want to be called and a location, general or specific.
Sylvia, I love it!!! I’ll gladly help ya cause all the trouble you want.
CarolNC, I know I used to work long days like that but just hearing it now makes me tired.
Mary, don’t feel bad that Caesar’s teaching methods didn’t work for you. Remember he is the “Dog Whisperer” and we never know what he whispers to them.
Jennifer, good start. Most of us think that if we average our intake for the week we are doing great. There will be days where you go over and occasionally “way over” but that’s just life. Keep up the good work.
MicheleNC, I don’t know how you do it with baking goodies for Vince. DH does still buy things for treats but I can resist store bought stuff a lot easier than homemade.
Joyce, great pictures. I do want to see the new armoire when you have a chance. You are braver than I am in teaching Charlie all that on his new phone. My DH does good to talk and retrieve voice mails. He doesn’t want to know how to text and that suites me fine. Lol
Kay, I get picky too when it comes to things like a water bottle. You want to get what you want! And I can’t believe the prices of some of them. Good grief. I hope you find exactly what you want. I think the one I use most often is only about 14 oz but I just refill it all through my workout.
Heather, that is terrible about your DH’s aunt. Does she have any help? Are you going to be able to arrange a short get together with your difficult friend at some point or are you planning on not seeing her again at all? Good Girl for writing some. Every word gets you closer to the end.
Kimses, you might have a point about “needing” to practice some patience. (((Hugs)))
Margaret, so glad you are working with a good class. That has to make such a difference.
Beth, it’s nice that you can still see the fruits of your labors last year. I find that some things I can keep organized better than others.
Lisa, glad the interview went well. Did they say when they would be making a decision?
Sylvia, does that just melt your heart when your DGD says thing like that? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
MaryGrace, we are all rooting for you on reaching your goal this year. Yes, sometimes we get in our own way but just have to start again if we go astray. Good luck!!!
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
I had a good day today. I did a little more cardio than usual. Made new bran muffins and a Spinach Feta Pie. I haven't had one of those in a while. It was cold for SC and never got out of the 40's. Tomorrow I think we start warming gradually. I had to go out to a meeting at 5:00 and would have preferred to stay in my warm house.
I hope all of you have a healthy and happy day.
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
DJ

I will never go to that vet clinic ever again! I was dissatisfied last time with the lack of compassion from the brown haired lady that took care of my puppy prior to the vet check. This time she was worse. The lady that was going to give her the shot asked her ( brown haired lady)to bring some peanut butter and instead she came in grabbed my puppy by his head and his front legs and just held him didn't even say hi to him or anything. When I was checking out she (Brownhaired lady) was on the computer and another lady there asked if she could hold my puppy from behind the desk and I let her. She was very kind to him and he was happy to be in her arms. Then the lady ( Brown haired lady ) that was checking me out stood up to her and to the other lady and said here let me have him. The lady said oh you want to give him some love to? NO, she grabs him from her holding him with her hands under his front legs from his back side dangling him in the air and literally throws him across the desk at me and says here is your puppy! I was shocked and almost in tears and left.
Mary from Minnesota
Sorry I would have lit into her, u have no idea along with letting her boss know your experience

Hi gals,
Lisa – glad the interview went well! Isn’t it funny what people are amazed at?
Allie – when you know what you want, look on amazon and ebay.
Mary – What a horrid experience!!! You need to report her to someone! Pip who would she report the brown haired b1tch too? Later – the Vet is an ok idea but I think someone outside of the office… the Offical office of Vet receptionists? Grr I wish you lived closer I have a great vet!!!!
Today was a play day, my god daughter, god son and I went to the beach for lunch – it is about 40 minutes from their house. It was nice, ate a bit too much but made up for it at the other meals. She leaves Sat. to go back to school. And my God son has made a huge decision – he graduated in June with his BA and has been living at home doing nothing much, so he is going to job hunt! He seemed to be of the opinion that a 80K job in his field with flex hours was just going to appear without applying, looking or anything… and his folks were going along with the fantasy… they are all too smart for that silliness. So job hunting it will be! I expect it will be harder than he thinks, but we shall see – he is a kid that stuff comes easy to.
I walked this morning when I left it was a break in the rain, by the time I got home it was a downpour. I also went to Yoga this afternoon this afternoon… I have a picture of me in my rain gear, I have to get it from my phone to the computer…

Joyce – lovely Christmas pics. Looks like a setting for great family times! Glad to hear you’re please with your new jewelry armoire.
Sylvia – love your computer bag. So much more fun than the standard black!
Katla – glad to hear you didn’t get a cast and have use of all 10 fingers! Great news! Wishing you fast healing.
Mary – so sorry to hear your puppy was mistreated! If that’s how she treats animals, it’s a mystery how she can keep her job. I agree with others; the vet should be made aware of her behavior.
DH made a delicious supper tonight with ground turkey and tons of vegies. Enjoyed every bite and ate a generous sized serving, but now I’m hungry again. How can that be? :grumble: Going to finish today’s bookkeeping and head to bed – hopefully before I let myself eat more.
Take care!
January Goals:
• Log every bite
• Drink at least 6 glasses of water daily
• Walk 30 minutes a minimum of 3 times a week; (I know this is small, but currently I rarely do any exercise)
• Eliminate/drastically reduce alcohol (thank you Katla for inspiring this one)
• Complete paperwork for MED Internship (will involve limiting wasted time on mindless computer games)

Im 55 , 56 come the summer. My goal is to get healthy this year....not that im not un healthy. Im just overweight, so I guess some would say that is unhealthy. I do have a weight loss goal, I need to loose 80 lbs. going to do it this year. Yes, like many I have dieted for the past 30 years. loose weight and put it back on and loose it again. boy im tired of doing that. I just love seeing oprahs commercial for weight watchers on tv every morning. it gives me such inspiration it usualy makes me cry. no im not on weight watchers. I have cut my calories to 1200 a day. enough to feed me but sometimes it doesn't seem like much. I wish everyone good health this year and lets make good choices.
U can do this. I am 56 now and had been at my heaviest 198lbs, and am 5'5" too. Take your time, don't go on a "diet" go on a lifestyle change. I have lost my weight a few years ago and have been and stayed at my goal weight or under it for awhile. 1200 calories a day is good. If u don't exercise now, at least walk, other forms of movement will come. Get a scale, weigh your food. It will b a pain in the buttocks in the beginning but u will learn a lot. Drink a lot of water, or at least try to. We r here for u0 -
I am 54 as of Dec 16. I have lost 70 lbs thanks to vertical gastric sleeve surgery last summer. I still have about 50 lbs to go. I am glad to see their is a group my age here0

Mary/MN - Ugh on that girl at your vet.

Barbie - thanks for reposting the quote and for the advice on giving up caffeine.
Night all

this is my god daughter and I - check out my hair if you look closely by my ears you can see a hint of teal - my hairdresser dyed the under neath teal.

Thanks everyone for your response to what happened to Shep. I was in shock at the time. After I wrote to you wonderful ladies I did call to talk to the vet. Brown haired lady answered and said vet went home. My plan is to go back with DH tomorrow and talk to the vet and confront the brown haired lady as well as the two other ladies that witnessed her treatment of my puppy. I won't let her touch him again. Nor will I bring him there again. If she treats my puppy like that she must be doing it to others.
Mary from Minnesota0 -
Terri - Fingers and toes are crossed!
Kim - you two look fantastic! Love the teal!
Mary from Minnesota0 -
Wish you were closer, our vet comes to the house. The animals love him n the cats have no car stress. Can't believe this woman, can't believe the vet would have a employee that would mistreat animals. Is she a family member. Like his wife?? Gayle Minneapolis0

Mary, I agree with everyone else. An animal has to be treated so special and all employees who are going to have any contact with an animal needs to have that special touch. We had a cat that would not allow any human to be close to her except Charlie and I. But she was a jewel at the vet. Sounds like you have a plan for tomorrow.
Pip, how do you get your dogs to always look so calm and peaceful?
Charlie had his 6 month appointment with one of his cardiologists and everything was fine. I have my physical tomorrow. He has never gone with me to any doctor but asked if I wanted him to go tomorrow. He said he thinks I am beginning to have enough problems that I need some support. I am generally OK. The only time I ever wanted him to be with me was the first time the neurologist saw me in the hospital to give me her diagnosis after all tests were done. He made a point to leave then. He has never even met her and I have been seeing her since 1999. I have my list made out of things I want to talk about.
Charlie is about done with his new pone and wants me to give IT to Christina and him keep his old one that is not a smart phone. I have tried to teach him how to text, it is so simple on this phone. But he says it is to big for his pocket. And I agree, it is bigger than his old one. That old flip phone is small. So I am waiting on his final decision. If he does give the new one away, she is getting a nice phone for the cheap phones. It is an 8mp phone and the pictures are real nice. The case I bought him is more masculine but it is made to sit and you can watch something streaming.
I 'started' to do some decluttering today and Charlie wanted to go to Walmart. There was nothing I needed there but I realize that he is getting less confident in going out especially if he thinks he is going to soil himself. So I went and then it was time for supper and choir practice for me and Karaoke for him. This was the first choir practice since our Cantata and our folders were all filled with brand new music. I love the feel of brand new music! Such potential. Plus as the low altos many times she has us sing with the tenors to give them support when their part is pretty high. So she sometimes pus us on the 2nd row so we are right in front of them. But may times she doesn't. So when choir resumed tonight we are now on the second row. Makes sense. Our pastor and best tenor is starting going for his doctorate this week. It is a program for ministers that allows them to spend most of the week in their home church and just commute for Thursday and Friday. There are a couple of Wednesdays he has to be there though.
OK, I will try to put up pics of my armoire. I mainly have necklaces, a couple of bracelets. I used to have earrings but those have all gone by the wayside. I still have a jewelry box that has some old mementos in it like bowling awards, high school choir awards, my watch that was my Great Grandma's, a watch that was given to me for high school graduation that no longer works but does have two diamonds in it. Just things like that. So I have rings, bracelets and necklaces in the armoire.
Woops didn't work. Try again
HMMM, says not allowed. this is the same way I did it yesterday0 -
Kim - loving the teal! You two look so happy and could be mum and daughter. Beautiful spot.

Hello Ladies
4 days in a row of logging my food! Yipee!
Thanks for inspiring me with all you do. I saw how much i was overeating, getting a hold on that. In fact just got reprimanded by mfp for not eating enough!

Kim: Add me to the list of people who love the teal--and your smile. :bigsmile: I agree that you and your God Daughter could be relatives--mother & daughter or auntie & niece.
Mary: The vet needs to hear from you even if the mean assistant is his daughter. I'm glad you've decided to express your complaint. Even though you're planning on going to a different vet, you will be doing good things for all the other clients. :flowerforyou:
It is 3:30am where I live, and I'm up because it was too uncomfortable to sleep. I'll probably read for a while. Today I hope to get my Terra-Tryke off of the trailer and onto the trainer so that I can ride it in "the comfort" of my garage and burn off some frustrated energy. I don't want to use the spin bikes at the gym just now. I want to sit in the comfort of my own garage, read a good book, and pedal like crazy. I can do this and put no pressure on the wrist at all.

Kim ~ you and your god daughter look so happy. It must be nice to live so close to the ocean.
Sylvia ~ so glad you stood your ground and got your clay straightened out. I recently had a piece of jewelry sold on eBay to China and she didn't get it. eBay said that tracking beyond the US border for 1st Class Int. could not be done and I had to refund her money and lose the Christian Dior pin. I was so frustrated talking to the rep that I was in tears.
Pip ~ your pics are so lovely. Do you take these with your phone or a camera?
Went to see my mom yesterday! Was able to get her into the car (wheelchair in trunk) and took her to Macon for a steak lunch. I was proud of myself because I only had the house salad with lite dressing. Anyway, it was the first time in a while that she was not crying so that made the visit better.
