hi everyone -
Marilyn - i SO know what you mean by some days just being hard to get into the gym. I REALLY was going to go today, but i've been 4 days in a row now and i tend to get bored. I got out one of my exercise dvds, closed the curtains:embarassed: and rocked out in the living room for an hour. Good enough for today! Yea, i'm kind of liking technology challanged classic!:laugh:
Marie - you know you and Jerry are in all our thoughts and prayers tonight. Like Phoebe, i hope you can get some rest.
I think you guys are right - Viki just needed more than we could give her:frown: i hope she finds what it is she needs and can move forward.
Oh my Lynn - i sure hope that darn headache is GONE:noway: 2 hours of sleep is brutal! I use melatonin every now and then when i haven't slept in awhie. It really helps me. I tend to worry about stuff at night.
I'm going to have a yummy smart dog and some cabbage for supper.Maybe even an apple! woot hoooooooooooo:drinker:
Have a good night all. Stay warm - we're going back down to below zero tomorrow.

To all golden sneakers
.Jerry goes to the dr. tomorrow afternoon. They called him!!! Now it has me worry .
Marie, I hope you are sleeping soundly tonight and not thinking ahead about tomorrow
hugs
this is a good time to take life one day at a time and stay in the moment.0 -
Hi to everyone. I am just about to get to bed but wanted to check on my peeps! I hope everyone is asleep as I write this. My exercise bike is buried so I think I will get Dave to help me get it out so I can do some exercise. I likely mentioned yesterday that I had some sinus allergy stuff going on, well it still is. I don't have a fever but Dave is pushing me to go to the Dr. We shall see tomorrow, it seems the worst in the morning. Neil had a terribly hard time going back to his home today, I think 3 days are too long so I am a little worried about what will happen while he takes time to recover here. At this home they don't have anyone there during the day. They will call someone in if one of the guys is sick but when it is going to be a longer time they don't seem to be able to cover it. Of course, I will want to keep an eye on it, nosey nurse!
Marie -- Thoughts and prayers are with you and Jerry for tomorrow. I hope you get good news.
Lynn -- Hope a good sleep will chase the headache away.
Take care everyone, thinking of you all. Gayla 0 -
Good morning everyone! Little grandson, Nate, coming today. Burn baby burn! (I mean calories,not the baby!!!)
Good luck to Jerry and Marie...we're all thinking of you.
Gayla: I get up every morning with a face full of stuff! I think that's what weighs the extra 1/2 lb on the scale?????
Lynn: Is the headache finally gone???
Uh oh, can't finish....Nate here!!!
Later, y'all
Maddie :glasses:0 -
Marie, Good luck today. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Jerry! 0

Hello Sneakers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is life without friends. Pretty lonely
You guys are the best Thank you all so much.
we will get another winter blast tonight. We got our grocery stock up yesterday. I got a few chores to do this morning and then will work on the quilt.
Had a nice breakfast of scramble egg, 1/2 piece od whole wheat toast /1 t of butter1/2 greek yogurt , 1/2 cup of Peaches canned in fruit juice.A big glass of ice water.That should tie me over.0 -
Here goes, Marie, we are with you and Jerry.
maddie, how is your brother?
I know you're having a ton of fun with Nate, are you worn out yet, or is he? Lol
yes I see much of the country will get it again so be cautious out there, no slippin and lidin!
We are going to be busy for the next twenty four to thirty six hours as we try to stay ahead of the ice and snow. Then we will get a few days at home for routine things.
so take care everyone,0 -
Thinking of you Marie.

Be careful driving home Phoebe.
How is nate and grandma doing? Mattie what river is that on you ticker. Lovely view.
Gayla. that great 4 lbs your first week. How is the New Peogram on WW. I have been trying to follow the old 1969 WW program. Not to much sucess so far.
Lynn.You are so funny. Love reading your post. I too enjoy reading the jokes The girls are posting...This is no joke. Dallas gave Michael Vick a key to our city. Why should we honor someone who torture those poor dogs. I know he serve his time but He is no
hero.
All of you sneaker mAKE ME FEEL SO GOOD. tHANK YOU ALL FOR BEING WITH ME.0 -
Baby Nate has gone for the day. He had two naps, I had one....we are both tired. He's is the sweetest baby. Babies just make you feel good......:happy:
The picture on my profile is part of the view of the Susquehanna River from the deck of our camper and the view on the ticker is in the river, a shallow section where boats park to swim. When you drive down the road from my house, you go over a hill called Chickies and at the top you can see the river spread out. I love it there! The river runs between York and Lancaster Counties. I grew up in York, growin old in Lancaster..:sad:
Phoebe, I will be talking to my brother later today and I will post an update. Thank you for asking!
Marie: You are one tough broad. Here you are waiting for results, getting ready for a storm and still have time to pop in and cheer us up.....
It was suggested to me that I don't eat enough veggies. I had homemade veg soup yesterday and I'm having a salad today. I hope I don't get gassy

MADDIE: we used to travel to Lancaster when living on Long Island, and it is such a treasure! You aren't growing OLD, just growing!
I agree about the veggies...and fruits! They add bulk, fiber, and few calories. If you look at my menu suggestions on page 7, you'll note I'm supposed to eat fruit at each meal and veggies at lunch and dinner, I think 2 at each. I don't always do that!

Go change it back to your starting weight and you'll get 'em back. Better yet, add 20 pounds to your starting weight and we'll really be impressed!!!0 -
Oh Marie, I'm so happy that it is not anymore serious. Hope all goes well with the specialist and it gets taken care of once and for all
A couple of you mentioned that you are in the mid to low 70's and one of you broke the 70's (CONGRATULATIONS!!). That's about where I am and anxiously waiting to break the 70's. I was wondering just how tall you all are. I am 5'3-1/2" tall.
My oldest daughter has access to a timeshare that one of her fellow employees has, so she invited me to go with her and my grandaughter (13) to this timeshare property in Orlando on April 15. It will be a "girls" week. I am so looking forward to it. I don't get to see them but once or twice a year as they live in Boston. My grandaughter is of tough stock as she has had quite a few health problems in her young life. She has juvenile diabetes and Chrones disease yet she handles those obtacles so well.
If I break the 70's I am going to treat myself to a new bathing suit. Sure would be nice if I knew a way to speed up the process. With all the snow, I can't really get out and walk too much because I'm just a bit nervous of falling and doing damage to my new knee.
Buzz, been meaning to mention to you that I think that you have the nicest smile in your profile picture. Your smile reaches your eyes and you look so genuine (just an observation). :happy:
Maddie, you don't need those 20 calories anyway! You probably have had at least 20 calories left most days. Am I right?? You know how you can get them back--a little more exercise! OK, enough preaching on my part, especially since I am not exerciseing at all unless you count all the stretching and bending therapy I do! Ugg!
Well, time to go do that physical therapy so until later ladies, have a wonderful evening and God Bless! JoAn 0 -
Go on and preach to me with your bad self! And therapy must be exercise, didn't I see that you are losing??? PS I responded to my height. 5" 6.5" or 5' 7".Oh Marie, I'm so happy that it is not anymore serious. Hope all goes well with the specialist and it gets taken care of once and for all

Great news Marie, although that radiation wont feel too good, will it? Glad they caught it early.
joann, your recovery still amazes me! So glad you are looking forward to a trip to fl. It was super nice there last week, and we enjoyed walking. Buzz, maddie, sandy, all of you,havesome great days, talk to you Thursday!0 -
Oh Marie...am so glad to hear your news!!:flowerforyou:
WHEWWW ...some news just makes one exhale...
Thanks, Gayla, JoAn, Phoebe, Maddie and all who wished my head to feel better. I slept last night and whoever told me that would help ...IT DID! :happy:
I did stretches, floor excercies, took care of my 6 year-old grandson today (the one who had dental surgery in the hospital and thought he was in Heaven in recovery) cooked lunch and supper, washed clothes, cleaned up dishes and have walked 1.35 miles. I FEEL BETTER!!:laugh:
My grandson told me today I was the best Grandmother he ever had. Of course I am the only Grandmother he has ..the other one is Granny...:laugh: :laugh:
But I don't care, I love hearing it. One of these days little Nate will tell you that Maddie and Barbie that sweet little baby will grow up and be talking and telling all these wonderful little things that only "kids" say.
The little 3 year old grandson has platnum blonde hair, like his mother. The other day I was putting chapstick on his lips. There was a piece of skin and he swallowed it:noway: did this big dramatic gulp and ..yep, swallowed a piece of skin. I said Grant Carver you don't swallow everything and you don't eat skin:noway: It's yucky...he said, Oh, Grandmother..I'm just a yucky man.":laugh: :laugh:
You got to love'em!
We have about 4 inches left on the ground but the sun was beautiful shining on the trees. They looked like crystal. My Grandson and I looked out the window at the trees and icicles and he thought they were just "beautiful!" Grandmother agrees.
We always take time to look at the Blue Skies or The Trees. Since he was a baby I would hold him and sit at the window or in the hammock and talk to him about the blue skies, the trees and all the beautiful things there are to see. The things God created. I would sing to him about Blue SKies and Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy...and smiles. So, now he talks back and tells me all about the things we see. All my grandchildren do this. I always thought if I was ever a Grandmother I was going to be the Grandmother, I never had. I have really tried to to teach them to appreciate what is around them in their lives. I hope they will always remember that about me.
Weight loss...I am still hanging in there...it's just not moving yet...but it will.
Thanks for "listening" to me and all your support.
Have a good one and hope all who aren't well feel better and everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
All the newbies--Boomer-Janet-and all the ones who are new on here...I would be happy to be your friend. When I first signed on here, I took my time about asking people. I still do. All the ladies on here would be wonderful friends. I have been on here for 5 mos...I try to read all the posts but some days there is just enough time to post your diary. Barbie cat encourages us not to stay at the pc too long..at a time ,so that we burn more calories. If you want to be friends with us just choose some and ask...I think any one on here would welcome friends...I mean who in the world doesn't want friends:noway: I remember lurking and reading 2 or 3 weeks before I got up the nerve to post anything. Connie ws one of the first friends I had. (She calls herself a cheesehead) So just dive in...that's what the rest of us did. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Sandy and some of the others keep up with birthdays...just let them know. Sandy starts this thread each month...she's the head honcho:bigsmile:
Good Luck...0 -
Oops:blushing: I have goofed again. I mentioned Boomer and that was from the 50+ forum...age has nothing to do with confusion:noway: :noway: I will try to name some names again...Xyla welcome....
I don't want to leave out Barb, Gigi, Old Bat, Buzz, and I know I am doing it again:blushing: just blame it on the hangover from migraines....not age:laugh: :laugh: See, I've not got all this down "pat." :noway:
It's actually nice to know one is human:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Lynn...your grandson sounds great. I love seeing the world through a little one's eyes.:bigsmile:0
-
:blushing: Thanks, Irene....it looks like I left you off too....I really have a hard time getting all the names in. So a lot of times, I just don't try... You are one of the great ones on here. I've told you before I love to hear about your Alaska and your quilts.
Thanks!:flowerforyou:0 -
Hi everyone from very cold Saskatchewan. It is really getting old! Bring on some heat. I had to go in to the city today to look for some new lights. I knew I would have a problem and I did! No hint of gold on any of them. The clerk showed me a few I could order but I didn't like them any better than the ones I have. She suggested waiting 3 or 4 years and styles will change and maybe they would have gold. Ouch! I can live with what I have so guess I will. Hope I have better success at the furniture store.
Marie -- so glad to read your news. You both must be very relieved even though there will be surgery or treatment required. Have a good sleep tonight.
You asked about the new WW. Each time they make a few changes. Now there are no points counted for fruits or vegetables except for starchy ones such as corn. However, many other foods seem to be more costly in points. They no longer have a little tool to figure out points for recipes so you really are stuck buying the WW calculator which works well. I do think it is a bit of a rip off though. I do like the plan and I think it has potential to work well. I have had kind of a bad week with way too much eating out in our torn apart house. I tried to order carefully but oi do expect to see some of those 4pounds back! It was just way too early to deal with that. Whatever, it will come off.
Lynn -- I love that your grandson calls you Grandmother. It may be usual in your area but although we might speak of our Grandmother she was always Grandma. Other friends had Gramma, Granny, gran, Nein, Baba and on. I know you get my drift. I would read books where the children used 'grandmother' and I always thought it was formal and special. I bet you are a really great grandmother. Your grandson can't be wrong!
Phoebe --be careful out there.0 -
Sorry, I didn't finish my post and couldn't get back to it.
Thinking of you all. Take care and keep smiling. Gayla. 0 -
:drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Marie, I'm glad to hear that Jerry's situation is treatable......I know you'll support each other during the treatment. 0
