Started a new post for Marie............I know she would have asked me too and hopefully she will be here soon to let us know she is ok.

Hi everyone! I have another message from Alice today and wanted to share it with you.

This is Alice with an update on my mom. She remains in the hospital but out of ICU. They are still doing tests but nothing definite yet. She is suppose to come home on Monday.
I know she is missing all of her friends. She enjoys corresponding with everyone. Please pass on to others that she is thinking of them and will be back online as soon as she gets home.
Thank you for the well wishes, I will pass them on to Momma. It will make her smile.

I did tell her that you were all keeping her in your thoughts and prayers. I am so glad that they are continuing tests so that when we get Marie back she will be feeling so much stronger and healthier.

Take care everyone. Gayla

Hello All,

Marie, we miss you ...Come home soon.:flowerforyou:

Had a busy day today and Friday. Last night I helped friends deal with some computer problems, and in return, I had a grilled salmon dinner with a great salad, and garlic sourdough boule, not to mention fresh steamed asparagus. We had a sugar free lemon loaf covered with blueberries and a little Redi Whip. The calorie count for the day would have been better if I had only had ONE glass of Merlot instead of THREE!!:laugh: :laugh: But, life is for living..:ohwell: Fortunately, I had lots of exercise calories available from moving boxes and furniture.

Today, I got a later start than I had planned. It seems that 3 glasses of Merlot leaves me feeling...well..like I had three glasses of Merlot!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Anyway, I didn't stay in bed too long, since I got a call from a neighbor alerting me that we have a sinkhole on the common area of our condo property, next to the creek. It is fairly small, so far. I measured it this morning so I can check it on Sunday to see if it is any bigger. We managed to find some scrap lumber and cover it so no person or critter can fall in.

I managed to get the rest of the odds and ends moved from my parents' storage unit, and consolidated into the other one I rented that we are going to combine my stuff and theirs in. Unfortunately, I am NOT done:grumble: I still have to go through all my stuff this next month and get it consolidated into the other unit. I found about 6 boxes of old Sunset Magazines. My mom subscribed to Sunset from the early 50's up to about 1993, and I thought I had already recycled all the ones that remained, but these were from the mid-fifties up to 1970 and beyond.
I hated the thought of just tossing them, but there is no market for them ( I checked). As one fell open to an add for a late fifties car, I suddenly figured out a solution. I called the Memory Care unit of the senior living complex where my parents live, and found they would be delighted to use some of them, and they would share the rest with someone in the activities department that works with residents not in memory care. I delivered all the magazines there today, and before I even got out of the building, some of the ladies were eyeballing them with great interest.

I couldn't resist holding back a few of them and taking them to my mother. There were two magazines that were older than I am, and we both got a kick out of that. I didn't have time to look at them in depth but will later.

After all those exercise calories, I went to a birthday party at the home where I grew up. The couple that purchased it are good friends of a good friend of mine. Their son, and his mother have birthdays at the beginning of May, so it was a good excuse for a party. I ate too much chili and cheese dip with tortilla chips, and also had a piece of brownie cake with ice cream, and a couple of snicker doodles jumped on my plate too:noway: :laugh: There were also veggies and salad. It was not the most healthful of meals, but very good, and tomorrow is another day.:flowerforyou:

I was supposed to visit with a friend after the afternoon party, but I was so tired, I came home, and since we are still having unseasonably cool weather, I am wearing WOOL SOCKS on the 1st of May. The doggies and I are spending quality time--they with their snores and an occasional snack, and me with the computer.

Have a good night all.

Good Morning from Minnesota!! By the time some of you read this I should be home in Illinois. I miss my hubby and my Daisy so much, plus my son is back from England and I can't wait to see him!!

It was a good trip, other than the accident, things went well. The boys are growing up but even so and I do love them so much, but I really don't like leaving home to "sit" for them. My husband doesn't like when I go away even for the weekends with Bryanna for dance but he accepts those weekends. He has a hard time understanding why my daughter asks me to come here so they can travel and I think I also feel like that. They do have a 20 year old daughter who goes to college in Minnesota, who could watch them. One of the first things my daughter asked was if I could watch the boys for two weeks next June so they could go to Hawaii for their 25th wedding anniversary. My first response was no, why not ask Kelly? Then she said they could stay with me at my house, which my husband would just love. (not) I know I sound like a bad grandma but I had four kids of my own, now it is their turn to take care of their own kids. (off my soap box now and Elli I love babies and being a first time grandma I was always available...practically raised Bryanna so this is not meant for you.)

Better get in the shower and get moving, will chat with you in Itasca!!

hi everybody

Sandy - thank you for starting this for Marie. I'm so glad you get to go home! Also glad you told your daughter "no" to TWO Weeks! That's kinda crazy! Especially since they have a daughter who is certainly old enough to take care of them! I agree - that's WAY too long to be away from home! I'll do whatever my kids need me to do with the baby - i have the luxury (?) of living alone so they can leave her here with me anytime! Oh wait - i DO Have 2 businesses to run now..........lol

MARIE! we sure do miss you and worry about you - REST and HEAL........ sending prayers, thoughts and healing energy your way.

Gayla - thank you for keeping us updated on her!

Barb - that same thing happens to me - even if i drink 2 glasses of wine i don't feel so great in the morning!

Yesterday went down to Castle Rock (about an hour and 45 minute drive) and spent the day doing inventory on the new business. It came out right on which was awesome! Tomorrow we get new computer and software:noway: (absolutely terrifying). Tuesday we (me and an employee/friend) pick up a u-haul, go to denver for closing, go back to castle rock to load the business and bring it here. WHEW! Wednesday, move it in and try and get somewhat organized and oh yea, keep the OTHER business up and running.........Thursday and Friday the owner comes to teach us. Friday - graduation/dinner for friend graduating from nursing school, Sat and Sun dil and mom and gramma here, Mon, dinner at my house for other friends.......
ok - i'm exhausted - i'm off to hot yoga!
happy sunday!!!!!

elli

Barbie - i just went back and finished reading April's posts - that's funny - i saw the first of those 2 Oprah articles while waiting in the Doctor's office as well. Then i got the second one, and printed them off for a friend of mine i keep trying to talk into going with me. I've never done the 60 day challenge - it's more a problem of me getting there every day. The class is an hour and a half and for me the round trip drive is also an hour and a half..........some days it's just not possible. I'd love to try it someday - maybe when i retire:laugh: Anyway - i did get there this morning and still say it's the best workout i've ever done. It's good for every part of your body, including your internal organs.

Have a great day all! Now i'm going to try and get some outside work done!

Greetings from El Paso. Have been on vacation for a week. Sorry to hear Marie is under the weather. I really havent been on while i've been away, but wanted to share my news.

I reached my 100 lb goal. Actually I only have 8 lbs to go to "onederland" and 37 more to goal. Can't believe I lost 5.5 on vacation.
Promise to read priors when I get home.

I bowl tonight and 6pm and again at 7am.

Thoughts & prayers sent to all.

Hello All,

Just a quickie. Thinking of you MARIE, and looking forward to hearing from you again soon:flowerforyou:

Sandy,

I don't have any kids, so grandkids won't be an issue, but I can understand your point of view. It is one thing if you want to take care of your grandkids for long periods of time, but quite another if it is "assumed" you are going to.

Good luck in resolving things in a way that doesn't strain your relationship with your daughter. Maybe a compromise for June. If you haven't yet abolutely declined, here is a thought: If I were the 20 year old, I don't know that I would want to be tied down for two weeks either, so maybe she could do one week at home and they could come and see you for the other? Just a thought

Judy congratulations on your loss and meeting your goal. Lately, I can't even lose when I stay HOME., so how you did it on vacation is even more amazing!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

So long for now...

Barb

Hi Everyone!

Marie get back and better soon! I miss you!

Just a quick check in note. Ran another race today. I came in second in my age group. There were about 250 runners. It was a good time. I would have needed a car to catch the guy that beat me! Anyway I am happy and proud of 2nd!

Sandy I am with you! If you want to watch the kids do so, if not so be it! You have your life and I am with you!

Jeffrey

Beth how is the training going?

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: I just have a minute......it has been rainy and cold today so we addressed it by taking a nap

---

Jake, me, Bernie, Sasha, and Brandy crammed together in the bed for over two hours.

:flowerforyou: We took a vote at our house and decided that it's time for Marie to come home and be healthy again. We really miss her

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey, congratulations on your race success

:flowerforyou: Sandy, congratulations on your decision to be less available as a babysitter.......that's something I would never do.....I have friends who consider staying with their grandkids or keeping them at their homes one of the world's greatest treats....I am a very absentee grandparent :laugh:

:flowerforyou: Judy, congratulations on reaching your goal:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Now it's my turn on the exercise bike

Barbiecat--I took a picture today that I MUST get into my pc so I can either post it or send it to you. I went to the Farmers' Market in downtown Vancouver today and there was a beautiful white standard poodle named Mercedes there.

The picture shows her laying very regally in a little red Radio Flyer Wagon,(complete with wooden sides so she wouldn't tumble out), and chewing on a pigs ear!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: She was being pulled by her human "momma" who explained they both like to come to the market, but the dog is 16 and can't walk very far or very long, so the solution was to haul her around in the little red wagon.

The market makes a point of advertising itself as a dog friendly destination, and there are dogs in all shapes and sizes present, on leash, with their human companions.

I bought 2 lbs. of fresh asparagus, and gave it to my neighbors who had given me something they were going to donate to charity, and they wouldn't take any money for it, so I paid them in asparagus!! When I delivered the vegetables, the man of the house handed me a bag with three dressed out Kokanee (for those not familiar, this is a name for a freshwater salmon). He had been fishing this morning, and they were very fresh. I plan to have them for dinner with my mom and dad on Tuesday night.

Jeffrey--Maybe you need one of those motorized scooters to catch the person that passed you in that race.:noway: It wouldn't be as obvious as using a car!!:laugh: :laugh:

Good night all.

Good Morning,

I feel like I was a little whiny in my last post and I apologize for that. :blushing: It is so good to be home though and just able to do what I want, when I want. Daisy was so excited to see me as was my hubby, so life is good.

Marie, prayers are being sent your way and hopefully you come home from the hospital today. :flowerforyou:

Gayla, thank you for keeping us updated on Marie. I hope Neil is all healed now and things are well at your house.

Barb, you make me laugh so much, I think I might have to put you on the road and be your agent. :laugh: I am sure by next June some compromise will be made with my grandsons, I think I just felt burnt out before I went to Minnesota and a little jealous that my daughter went to Arizona and I would have liked to have gone to see my son and his grandma. :ohwell:

Barbie, saying no is one of my biggest faults, I just don't know how to say NO. I do feel at times I am being taken for granted, but that is my own fault. Most of my complaints in life come from the fact that I don't say no. It comes from being an enabler to my children and until I take some ground and only do what I want to do, I have no right to complain. I love my grandchildren as we all do, but it is so much nicer to see them when we want to and not when we have too, does that make sense???

Jeffrey, congratulations on being number 2!! Isn't it the Budget car commercial that brags about being number 2??
You said it perfect about grandchildren or anything else for that matter.

Toby, congratulations on the 100 pound goal!!! How great is it, that you lost weight on vacation, that is just wonderful!!
How is the bowling going? Didn't you just do a tournament?

Elli, you are just too busy, but busy is good!! Good luck with the new company, you are so focused you will be very successful!!

Time to get Daisy to the groomer, have a great day!

Sandy

elli

Thanks Sandy - Welcome home - I'm like you - i have a hard time saying "no". I wish we could be a bit more like Barbie! Don't know if i'm as much of an enabler as a neuterer, caregiver.......

Congrats Jeffrey on your race! That is AWESOME!

Congras Judy on 100 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woo hooooooooo!

Off to the bank to do big finance stuff - then back here to do comfusing computer stuff. We will be without one in the office this afternoon till........??????? a bit scary!!!!!!!

On my weight - i've gone up and down - back at the dang old 9 pounds still to go........don't know if i'll ever get under 120 again.....worried about when i'll be able to make yoga this week. Or do anything not work related. Oh well - lucky ME! i have a JOB! i'll quit comlaining now and move on to an attitude of gratitude! I truly AM grateful!!!!!!!

Happy Monday!!!!!!!

Hi all!

Quiet day here today! I will post more tomorrow! Great workout day. Swam 3/4 mile non stop, ran 2 miles, and then did my P90X and ab routine.

Hi everyone! We had sunshine in Saskatchewan after a few days of rain. I hear there may be snow tomorrow. I didn't hear from Marie today so hope she is home a settling in.
We had a busy day in the city today. I went to the Dr. to see about this rash that won't go away. He says it is a virus and will go away in a couple of months. He said his wife had the same thing. He gave me some cortisone cream to take the redness out of it. Says it doesn't seem to be very communicable.
Not much else to share today.

Way to go Jeffrey -- 2nd is way better than sitting home on the couch!!

Sandy -- Glad you got home. If you can't vent here where can you vent? Hard to believe that Daisy is nearly one!!

elli -- Nice to hear from you, busy as you always are.

Barb -- Sounds like you had a great time at the Farmer's Market. I love when the fresh produce starts pouring in to the F.M.

Barbie and Jake -- How nice to have a nap with the whole family!

Take care and keep smiling. Gayla

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: Elli, I'm glad you got to read that whole article about hot yoga......the whole story of that woman's journey was inspiring.........she had a lot more battles to fight that I did.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, I think learning to say "No" is important otherwise we'll be overrun by people who keep taking......we are the only ones who can set our own boundaries.......I have a friend who babysits her four grandchildren every day so her daughter can work full time and then whines about how bad off they are financially because she can't go to work and make some more money for her own family......I applaud you for saying "no".......processing with us is a helpful thing to do and isn't whining unless the processing goes on endlessly with no solution emerging.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: marie, come back, we miss you

:flowerforyou: We stayed up too late tonight watching "Dancing With the Stars" :laugh:

:flowerforyou: Gayla, sorry to hear about the rash:sad:

:flowerforyou: Barb, did you have the bad winds that we had up here? My clock radio woke me up this morning with a report about the "blustery" weather in Vancouver, BC......we had the same stuff here and our visit to the dog park was like taking a walk in a wind tunnel....I considered hanging on to a tree to keep from being knocked down.

Barbiecat--

Re: weather!! You might say we had a "hail" of time down here!!:laugh: We also had, sun, rain, wind, overcast. It was one of those "if you don't like the weather wait five minutes" kind of days. As for the wind, it did kick up pretty good around 1 -2a this morning. I didn't really notice it. The only time I am really aware of wind is if it comes from the south and makes the doggie door fly open. That didn't happen last night, but I could hear a little wind noise outside.

Today I got caught in the hail as I was leaving my home to take a load of things to the storage unit. Upon arrival, pea-sized hail began to fall, and as I got out of the car and opened the unit door, the rain started. I stood inside as it poured for about 5 minutes. Eventually, I was able to unload.

I don't think we got it as bad here as they did further north and further east of here. There were bad dust storms in eastern Washington and 2 accidents caused by dust on I-84 in northeast Oregon. They even had some fires resulting from power poles being blown over and the wires catching grass on fire. Just heard on the news that a windsurfer out on the Columbia River has come up missing. They have been looking for him about 7 hours now, and all they found was his board washed up on shore.

We may set a record for coldest temperature on May 4th. Our average at this time of year SHOULD be mid-60's. Tomorrow, they are predicting a HIGH temp of 51 degrees (F). They had over a foot of snow today at Mt. Hood. Hard to believe it is May.

Well, that is it for the weather report.

Catch you all later.

Good Morning!

Beautiful day here in Indiana! Sunny and calm winds. I am going to help my neighbors today put storm doors on and workout some. I have to do a couple of things to my race bike so I can ride it in traffic. I am also planning on running some on the road today. I want to run another race in a couple of weeks and I need to get with it! Tomorrows goal is to swim one mile non stop.

We are having both girls home for Mother's Day! I can't wait! We will be going to Sam's graduation on Saturday in Terre Haute. They are letting her walk with her group but she will still have her student teaching to do in the fall. Outside of all that, nothing else note worthy. Yesterday I did get one of the flower beds cleaned out good. What a job! One more to go! And I planted 6 grape tomato plants. You might know we now have a chance of frost on Friday/Saturday night.

Everyone have a great day! I did not look back at the older post, but did anyone get the movie quote? It was from the "Quiet Man" with John Wayne and Maureen O'hara. She was the quoted one! I will try to come up with another later on!

Jeffrey

weaklink109

Hello All,

Hope we see Marie on here again soon.

Jeffrey, I love grape tomatoes. I hope yours survive the colder temps.

Just popping in to say the weather is still nuts around here, and sadly, about midnight last night the Coast Guard found that missing windsurfer in the river. He did not survive. So sad.

I have to go and meet someone at 1p, fortunately, it is only 1/4 of a mile from my house!! So bye.

Hi everyone! No messages from Marie or Alice. I hope you are home and resting Marie. I miss you!
Well, we have snow today! Just when I start thinking about my little garden we get snow. There is snow on the ground but I don't think it will stay long. I miss seeing our little woodpecker out there. Dave got a few pics but they are from a distance.

Neil is climbing the stairs up to his room which makes him a very happy camper. Today Dave moved the easy chair into the family room which makes Neil even happier. He just moved the bed down a ways in case we need it again soon. Once we are sure the bed will be out of there and renovations can commence! We haven't heard about his neuro surgery yet but I expect him to be able to climb the stairs after that one. We still haven't heard from the group home and I am thinking that I should call his social worker. He is once again asking when he will go to the group home. I sure don't want to miss this window.

Take care everyone. Oh, Jeffrey, Sandy got the answer to your quiz and she is expecting a very big prize so you better get one that!! I plan to get the next one, so make it easy!

Hey guys and gals....how's it going?!!!:happy: Haven't posted since Friday so have some catching up to do!
My Woman's Retreat went very well this past weekend! So many beautiful women with such strength!:flowerforyou: My food was a little messy :ohwell: but not "over the top". I had a few treats but ate as healthy as I could during meals. Friday I exercised for 70 min to burn 400 calories and Monday and today I exercise for over 50 min.:bigsmile: My food has been disciplined since I got home but I didn't drink much water (over the weekend). So we'll see what the scale says tomorrow. :happy: I am trying to increase my exercise time to keep losing but I am slowing down a little because I'm starting to look drawn. :frown: I am comfortable where I am, although I would like to lose a little more weight, but I don't feel the urgency to lose it fast. So for May, if I lose 2 lbs, I will be happy.:blushing:

Jeffrey, congrats on the race!!! :flowerforyou: 2nd place!!!...I hate to tell you where I would have been! :laugh: How many people were racing? That's about the number that I would have come in as :laugh:

Marie, we miss you! Get well!

Gayla thanks for the updates but sorry about the rash:noway: Take care!

Sandy, my parents were the best parents you could ask for, but after bringing up all of us (13) they said "Been there...done that!" They would occasionally babysit..... but only occasionally. If you like babysitting, then that's wonderful! But sometimes children can take advantage of us, especially if they know we have a hard time saying no! :grumble: It is a good and noble thing to be generous with our service to others....HOWEVER encouraging our children to be independant is really a service to THEM! NOT depending on my parents all the time... forced me to learn how be responsible for my own life and children and give my parents some...well earned space! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 2 weeks is a lot to ask of ANYBODY, especially when you have a spouse! Saying NO does NOT make you a bad mother/ grandmother! (Off soapbox:blushing: )

Elli...you're going to turn into a puddle!!! :noway: :noway: So busy!! Take care and good luck with the business!

Barb, I think you should go on tour as a comedian! Hey didn't someone here say they'd be your agent???:laugh:

Barbie.. you're inspiring as always!:flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: It was sunny when the dogs and I got up at sunrise so at 7 we got Jake up to tell him that it was a good day for him to play golf......he got up and got ready and fielded a few business phone calls and headed for the golf course.....somewhere around the sixth hole it started raining so he was glad he took his raingear and umbrella.

:flowerforyou: I did pilates then yoga then the exercise bike then some wii sports before heading off to the meeting I go to on Tuesday mornings with my business partners...I was indoors in a room full of big windows when it started raining.

:flowerforyou: After years of giving myself a sticker on the calendar for going over 10,000 steps on the pedometer, I realized that I was always choosing walking over any of my other exercises because I wanted the steps so I could get a sticker...so today I decided to change my plan....I'll still keep track of my steps, but now in order to get a sticker I will challenge myself to doing yoga, pilates, exercise bike and a wii sports activity. Of course, I won't be able to achieve that goal while we're traveling because the bike and the wii won't come with us:laugh:

:flowerforyou: Birdie, it's so good to hear from you again.....you add so much to this thread and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has missed you. I agree with you about slowing down your weight loss as you get to your goal. That's what i did and in time the weight came off and my skin started to firm up and people stopped telling me that I was wasting away.

:flowerforyou: Gayla, that is such great news about Neil climbing the stairs and asking about going to the group home....he must have been so sick of being incapacitated.

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey......best wishes for success on your continued triathlon training.....you're doing great.

:flowerforyou: Barb, you remind me of my mother who had a joke for every occasion:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Sandy, I agree with Birdie that saying NO does not make you a bad mother/grandmother....to thine own self be true.

:flowerforyou: We're leaving in less than a week to go to California and I'm starting to make lists and plans about packing. I'll try to be moderate because I don't want to spend more time packing than actually traveling.

Late Post tonight. Today was my card day ( yeah after three weeks of not playing) and it was fun as I won. After cards I went grocery shopping and after dinner my hubby and I took Daisy for another 4 mile walk. I am upset that I missed two days of my 30 day shred but will get back on that tomorrow. I suppose it really only works if you do 30 days straight so I guess I am starting over until I get 30 days. :grumble:

Our weather was beautiful today, in the high 70's and sunny, it was wonderful. I love having the doors and windows open with my ceiling fans at full blast, it just feels so good. :bigsmile:

Gee, Barbie if I lived by your standards I would never get any stickers. I am happy to get at least 300 calories in one day not matter what I do, which is why you lost 71 pounds and I can't lose the last pound. :laugh:

Barb, you are one funny lady, I love your sense of humor.

Birdie, you have such a way with words, thank you. I like you feel no hurry to lost the last pound ( really would like to lose 6 more) because for my age and height I am probably good with my weight. It just would feel good to be able to reach a goal I set for myself.

Getting late, time for bed.:yawn:

I re-read my prior post. I was trying to say that I hoped the RASH went away--not the rain. Also Gayla, I re-read your post. It is great news that Neil is asking about the group home and is getting around better. You must be very pleased.

Barbie--depending upon your schedule, maybe we can schedule a quick "meeting of the minds" either on your way down or when you are returning from CA. Send me a PM if that is something you have time to consider.

Take care all. I am on my way to dreamland.:yawn:
