    :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Happy Birthday, Jeffrey, glad to hear from you again.

    :flowerforyou: Marie, after being gone for 13 days in August and 13 days in September, I am happy to say that we are staying home for a long time.......that should make my goals of working in the yard and eating at home, a lot easier to accomplish

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Sandy, you and I can work together to get rid of those last few pounds that came from riotous living away from home......:laugh:

    :flowerforyou: I readjusted my ticker to reflect the pounds that are still there after my trips....it was time to acknowledge them and stop hoping that they would go away by themselves....I relaxed my super careful eating and now I'm paying for it.

    Happy birthday Jeffrey,

    Hello everyone, good day today, it was Friday, no more work tomorrow, and the next and the next. Woot woot a three day weekend! Lots to do and catch up on, but no schedules to run for at 3:30 am . Buttons seems to be doing better, she has been eating well, and is not itching as much. Yea.

    Short sleep last night, sort of kept my ears on, while my eyes were closed, until after 2am then everything shut down. Woke up at 3am and I felt like I just got into bed.

    Anyhoo, I'm off to get ready for bed, catch up on some sleep, I am yawning my head off now. Have a great day tomorrow everyone and keep strong.

    Happy Birthday, Jeffrey!!! With everything that has been going on in your life, I hope you were able to stop and celebrate.

    Barbie, I never thought I would see the day when my ticker would have a higher number than yours!!! I know you well enough to know that you will be back to your lower weight in no time. Truth be told, my ticker should say about the same as yours today, if were recording a temporary change. I found some things in my freezer that I combined for lunch yesterday, and the sodium count was about 2600 mg!! YIKES, so I ended up posting a gain :grumble: I ate very clean today, and light as well, since I wanted to enjoy the steak I had planned for dinner, and I did. Even had enough calories for a small baked potato, and I also roasted some asparagus and zucchini, along with sweet onion slices. Everything was yummy!!

    Have a good weekend, all. Not sure if I will have time to be on here again until Sunday.

    Medicare is great Jake, as long as you have a good supplement. :laugh: Between what we pay for medicare and the supplement we should own our own hospitals and get the best treatment available. :laugh:

    Frightfest was fun but it was hot and very crowded, thank goodness we get the fast lane passes so the kids don't have to wait very long in line. Marisa (the 5 year old) was determined to stay until closing with the big girls but after the parade when the spooky guys came out she changed her mind. They walk amongst the people and especially like to scare teenagers so they sneak behind them and say something in their ear which scares the you know what out of them. Another time one chased two of our girls as they went screaming down the path. :laugh: :laugh: One got a little to close to Marisa and almost gave her a heart attack so she was ready to go home, after I told her when it gets dark it gets scarier. There was a reason for us to take two cars (we had free parking passes) and I was ready to go so was sort of happy Marisa got scared. She was funny though she kept watching the sun and saying it is going down while we were making our way to the exit, she wanted to be out of there before dark. :laugh: The older ones stayed with Cheryl to go through the haunted houses which I am terrified of, so they closed the park and had a great time. Chery said it got so crowded the lines were horrific even with the passes so I am really glad Marisa and I went home early. :bigsmile:

    I of course ate more junk food but I did walk miles and miles. I am getting ready to up my post again, it is a constant battle but at least it is more under control then before joining MFP. I will not let it get out of control again and have all of you to thank for that.

    Enjoy this beautiful Sunday!!

    Happy birthday Jake!

    Hello ladies and gents, Hope everyone has had a good weekend, I have worked around the hourse to get chores caught up and do some extra so the next few weeks are a little less to contend with.

    My weight is going up, I'm thinking because I have no real food to chow down at work with so when I get home I'm diving into supper with a hungary body. I'll have to do some work on it. I'm up 11 pounds.

    Catch everyone tomorrow,

    Thanks to all of you. Friday we went to the cardiologist and I got to use the my medicare card for the first time. I think the insurance from Barb's pension will be happy since it's the first time that they get to be the supplement. My heart has cost them almost a million dollars thus far so I imagine that they'll be glad when I'm gone altogether in January when I get on a whole different plan.

    Anyway it's good to know that wherever i go now I qualify for the senior discount.

    Barb took me to lunch today at our favorite Tai place, we go maybe once every other month or so and then we spent time working in the yard. I talked to my youngest brother for a couple of hours on the phone. he lives near Cleveland so we don't get to see each other very often, but we try to talk every other week or so. got a chance to talk to my son this morning and he told me the story of his very long night which ended up in the drunk tank because of an incredibly stupid move on his part. He was very concerned about how his wife wo8uld take it when she and their daughter got home from a trip tonight. I of course told him to not by trouble, but kept thinking that he was really screwed and am very grateful that I don't have to live like that anymore.

    I suppose that I'll talk to both of my daughters tomorrow. Anyhow thank you all again for your kind messages and happy birthday Jeffery and everybody else that I seem to miss on a regular basis.

    Marie, you're the best.
