Lacking Convo's!

I just joined this group and see that it really isn't being utilized! How come? Group encouragement and participation is a great motivator! :flowerforyou:

    Or we all want to be invested, but then no one else seems to be so it just falters.

    Or hibernating, in this city that is probably the real reason. haha.

    LOL. I think people join thinking "this is great! A group for my city." Then the realize, "oh, crap! I might actually run into these people on the street______?" Insert {eating something that won't help my diet} for me. :blushing:

    1. I dropped out of University and moved to Ontario for 8 years. I still say Ontario is better even though I have been back for 5 years now and don't seem to have any drive to move on.
    2. I have a huge David's tea problem. I've got about a dozen bags lining the shelf above my work desk at all times.
    3. I am attempting to love the 5k. :grumble: I would love to do a fun run in the spring if anyone is looking for a running buddy. My cardio sucks...

    I"m late on this one too.

    1.) From Dartmouth, NS, unlike most Easterners who move out here, my hubby doesn't work in oil and gas, he does policy work for the Government. I work from home (kept the same job I was doing in Dartmouth and just set up a home office).
    2.) Have one dog Shelby, and two cats Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.
    3.) Attempting to have kids, have some some weird conditions which are making that difficult. Doctors always get a kick out of seeing me because I have multiple conditions that are very rare, none life threatening, but just plan weird :):):)

    Hi! Three things about me:
    1) I have 2 fur-babies, both from EHS
    2) I have a real baby (toddler now) and nursing helped me lose weight at first but it's not working anymore...in fact I'm going UP now!
    3) I love dancing. I did belly dance for a couple years, modern before that, and most other styles while in school.
