    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: good morning to all :bigsmile: one thing I love so much about this thread is how geographically diverse we are. I had never heard of "hosepipe bans" (we don't even have trains on the Olympic Peninsula) and we don't have Bank Holidays here although when I was teaching in public school there were some days when school was in session and the banks were closed.

    :flowerforyou: Oldtyke, Isagenix is available in the US, Canada, Mexico, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand but nowhere in Europe yet. It is a great system of healthy products with amazing nutrition and a cleansing system that removes the impurities in your body that encourage your body to hold onto fat for protection. I found Isagenix at the recommendation of my chiropractor over two years ago and my health and energy have improved and my weight has gone down and stayed down and cravings for unhealthy food have gone.

    :brokenheart: the sun is not shining here and it is raining just enough to keep me from taking the dogs for a morning walk. I don't mind taking them to the dog park in a drizzle but I won't have time to do that until this afternoon.

    :flowerforyou: Our cleanse day went well. I got my laundry done as well as a variety of minor housecleaning chores. The dogs got taken on several long walks but didn't go to the dog park. Jake and I took a two hour nap and then we watched "Airplane" and went to bed early. I get extra cold so I put and extra blanket on the bed and slept from 9:30 to 6:30 and woke up hungry and ready for my morning shake. I ate my shake while riding the exercise bike so I'd get some morning exercise and now I'm ready for a new day filled with many possibilities :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Sandy, you are so right about our troops. We have a well oiled machine made up of some very fine people who know the meaning of truth, loyalty and honor. It is sad but necessary that they must protect even the lowest of lowlifes such as those who steal instead of work for a living. That's about Jerry and Maries bike.

    Judi, you had my head swimming for a bit. I reread your post a few times, still dont know what a hosepipe ban is. But I see now that you are not brewing tea in your crockpot! Lol

    Barbie, I understand why you have so much rain now, I dont know why I thought you were near Spokane!

    Gigi, I think we get days when we feel bad all over, and we need to pay attention to the signals, taking care to rest up and take our vitamins, drink lots of water to flush away the toxins. Then go to the docotr if that doesnt work!
    speaking of doctors, Marie, have you spoken with your docotrs about the swelling? They may need to do something with your meds. You know when it is important enough to take care of it.

    Deb, have a wonderful time at the zoo, I havent been in a very long time. I should make it a summer 'to do'.

    Be well, wishing sunshine in your hearts for everyone

    Afternoon Ladies:

    Wow! What a weekend, first a Royal Wedding and now Osama Bin Laden.
    Pretty good for a 2011 weekend. What next?

    Raining here again and will be for most of the week. :grumble:
    The weather doesn't realize its May and the sun should be shining.:noway:

    I did manage to get my front lawn cleaned up and spring flowers looking really good.
    My hubby got a chance to mow the lawn between rain drops. I hope to get to the back-
    yard cleaned up this weekend and get it looking good.

    Marie: I hope you get your bike back so you can continue on your exercising.

    Yesterday I cleaned for 150 minutes on my tracker, that was my exercise for the day.
    I was dog watching for two weekends in a row (a black and a brown lab)
    and my carpeting was dingy due to dog hair etc. So I got to scrubbing carpet and washing
    throw rugs and such. It was pouring rain so it was a good day to get things done.
    Don't get me wrong I love dogs and used to have one most of my life, but when you don't
    have one for a while you realize how it was.

    Well nothing more exciting to write, hope all is well to those who are having problems and
    better days are coming. :heart:

    Good Afternoon ladies. I'm sorry to report that my mother passed away this morning at 10:08. She was 89 1/2 years old. My brother, myself and my niece were with her and she passed fairly quietly. Please continue to pray for us and thank you for all of your prayers and support. Buzz, you have to adopt me now!

    Maddie :heart:

    oh MADDIE - i'm so sorry:cry: It's so hard when it's your Mom.....I lost mine 5 years ago. No matter how old we get they're ALWAYS our Mom......you just can't ever be ready. Thinking about you.

    On a more upbeat note - oh what a day! I'm so proud of our country, our military and so very grateful that hateful person is gone from our planet!

    GIGI - so sorry none of your kids will be with you for Mother's Day.....sometimes it's hard isn't it? I really shouldn't leave next weekend - i still haven't planted or mowed a thing - but my priorities are different now and i'm going to jump at the chance to spend Friday night and Saturday with my son and his family. Leena is changing so much every day - she's working on her third tooth now and will be 9 months old on Mother's Day!

    SHIRLEY - cleaning house is a GREAT workout! Especially for as long as you were at it.

    CONNIE - i know it can be so frustrating at times. What i don't get is where this great resolve comes from WHEN i have it - and where the heck does it go when i decide to eat everything that's not nailed down?????? I was down to 1 pound to lose and now i'm back up to 4.:grumble: I know for me, i have to take one day at a time, and not beat myself up when i mess up.

    MARIE - so glad Jerry only has a week left. It will be good for that to be over and done with.

    SANDY - thanks for the tribute to our military. I was on the phone for over an hour this morning with my Soldier/son, his wife, my other boy and his wife plus a dear friend who's a Vietnam vet. lots of grateful tears involved in all conversations. I'm so very proud and grateful to be an American.

    Hi PHOEBE - how is it out there? I hope you'll stay out of the bad weather. I was talking to my friend this morning who still drives about how many times he's had to chain up this winter - so many that his hands are messed up from the mag chloride! ugh.

    I seem to have a cold now - poor little Kodi and her mom and dad have had it for a week now - i haven't seen her in over a week - it's the longest i've gone without seeing her, but i don't want to bother them when they're all not feeling well......

    My friend Angela who works with me and her hubby are getting straw for me today - how's that for amazing friends? oh my i am so blessed.......i just can't express enough gratitude this day.

    MARILYN - glad you're all right - just keep on putting one foot in front of the other - sometimes that's all it takes - just go through the motions......it will get better.

    I hope you are all well today, MADDIE - you and yours are in my thoughts.

    Maddie: Sorry for your loss, glad you could be with her. I lost my Dad in October he was 93 from dementia.
    He was in Florida and I was here. He passed too fast for me to get there.
    My heart goes out to your family and friends who knew her. :heart:
