Hello MFP friends!
I have been off from work for a couple of days and really enjoying it. Worked some inside, but mostly outside at our new home. Getting the water going... here in Colorado we have ditch water Summer through Fall, and it saves a ton on money. The old owner had 2 different control boxes with alot of drip systems... tons of plants in the back yard... we are going to weed some out so we can get our raised bed veggie gardens going and some grape vines too. We went and priced landscape timber for the veggie garden and found they are proud of that stuff :noway: . So we swung by the brick yard and deceided on cinder blocks. DH got some of them (50) today, and we took them 6 at a time to the back yard on a dolly... In between rain showers ( Yes Lord! We are in drought condition here). Can't wait to get these built, they will be awesome! So, got good exercise there :laugh:
Tomorrow is back to work for a few days. Can't wait till I can retire and just be grandma.
Joann- I am so proud of your for reaching your goal!
Grandmallie - Praying your ear gets better soon!
Joy- I understand where you are at. My FIL would be normal one minute, and then totally out of character the next. Bless you for all you do in Love. :flowerforyou:
Meg- Happy Birthday!!!!!
Colonmec - I will be 62 soon, and plan on another 20-30 good years... that is why I am on MFP, to get back in shape and enjoy my golden years. We can do this!
Cooky- Feel better soon!
Welcome to all the newbies, and hugs to all those struggling. Keep posting everyone, you are a blessing!

My Fitbit Zip died yesterday. I thought it just needed a new battery but no it is dead.. No falling, no being in water, working when I went to bed, dead when I woke up. Only had it since January. Has anyone else had this problem? I really can't afford to buy a new one right now.0

Did an hour of Leslic Sanson 5 Mile Walk DVD today. Tomorrow I'm planning to do a step DVD.
After working out, Vince and I were in the Unifour senior bowling, I bowled with a friend of mine. It's just girls. First game not so great but the other two games at least I was over 100. After bowling we went to Lowes Hdwr since we needed salt for the pool and we wanted to get some sand for the umbrella base that we got. Then I needed to stop at WalMart since I didn't realize it but I'm low on the creamer for the coffee. Tonight I'm hosting Mexican Train dominoes at our house since the gal who usually has it is away. I'll have ice tea, I'm making coffee, tea for anyone who wants it. Got some water, will also use that when we have the end of year bowling party here Tomorrow we have the Newcomer general meeting and then senior bowling. Afterward I need to stop at WalMart on the way home to get Vince his milk. See, we had his car and if I bring in the ad from Walgreen, they'll price match the price of the milk.
yanniejannie - Vince was saying last night that he wants to write a note to Dianna in Spain spanish and the same thing to Bryan, basically saying how they're welcome to come and she can meet his family. Things like that -- he doesn't have the working down exactly.
Gail - I'm having shrimp for Mexican train tonight, and it wouldn't surprise me if there was some left over. How do you make those shrimp burgers?
jodios - yea, you broke the plateau
Teresa - welcome!
dovegopp - amazing amount of steps!
BeckyRayJohns - welcome! I am a boredom eater, too, and I find that if I'm doing some sort of craft, that usually takes my mind off eating
salerunner - welcome. Good goals. A lot of the ladies on this board do the 30DS
Joy - feel better fast
DeeDee - so sorry to hear about your tooth. Hair appts always make me feel better, too
cityjane - sounds like you and dh had a lovely day. Congrats on the superb NSV
katla - great advice for Joy
Laura - how nice that your son will be donating his hair and on his graduation. You must be so very proud
Had 13 people here for Mexican Train dominoes. We had a good time, but I do wish we had more food (but that's just me)
drkatiebug - A while ago (when I was pg with Denise) I had this horrible, and I do mean horrible, toothache. The dentist saw me on a Saturday, he took an xray and it was sinuses. That's the first time I've ever had that happen to me. But now I know that when my teeth start to hurt, it most likely is sinuses.
Robin ((((hugs)) for you and your dad
Meg - My soon to be DIL as far as I know speaks SOME English. Just how much -- that I don't know.
skinnylady - welcome!
Laura - how long did it take you to put down all that rock? I can't help it - I'm a worrywort. But Vince isn't in the best of shape, I just hope he doesn't wear himself out. He was saying how the only way he'll be able to get thru bowling tomorrow is with Tylenol what with bowling today, then putting the umbrella stand together, then getting ready for Mexican Train. I don't know.
ddellner - how long was the funeral for your fitbit? From what I understand, that have great customer service.
Hope everyone has a great evening.
Gotta get ready for tomorrow, the general meeting and then bowling, mahjongg in the evening.

Hi all
Did not get in any real exercise today I planned on going for a half hour walk before work but just when I went to leave it started raining. If I had left sooner I would have had my 10,000 steps but with puttering around the house and work I did get 8,485. I did stay below my calories to day even if by a very small amount. DH and I are planning on going to the local park for a high school baseball game that friends of our son is playing in even thou he plays for our high school rival team and that is how they are playing. I plan on walking around the park to get exercise and my steps in just hope it doesn't rain, if it does I will have to get the wii out.
Hope everyone who is not feeling well starts feeling better soon.
Well better get to bed I have to work at 9:00am . Take care everyone and happy tomorrows0 -
Wessecg Thanks, I will try to contact Fitbit tomorrow
Exermom Still mourning ;-)0 -
I was wondering since she is visiting you how in the world did she handle the long flight? I would not have wanted to sit anywhere near her:huh:
Laura80111 in Colorado
Actually, we brought her over on a Transatlantic cruise so we didn't have to deal with that at the time. Hubby will be taking her back on Saturday so he'll have to be the one to sit right next to her on the way home.0 -
Well, I'm still alive today. Hooray! And after a whole week on the Fast Metabolism Diet I am down 5 lbs. Which is SO surprising considering how much food I'm eating! Totally not following "traditional" thoughts on what to eat yet filling myself with ONLY healthy foods. Check out my food diary if you like. Days one and two I had lots of good carbs and fruit, days three and four lots of protein and green veggies, days five - seven lots of healthy fats plus good carbs, protein, fruits and veggies.
Got to run. Doctor's appointment today at 9. I'll let you know what she says after I'm back. Then grocery shopping and more than likely, back to bed. SO happy it's a holiday here tomorrow so hubby is off.
Joy0 -
:noway: Woops didn't realise I'd missed so much!
:ohwell: Sorry I don't have time to read all the posts just yet, I'll try and catch up when I get home tonight.
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Sending good wishes to all who need a bit of encouragement and congrats to those who are doing well.
:drinker: I restarted my exercises yesterday (and boy do I feel it this morning) but I'm going to aim at doing at least 10 mins every morning (more if I have the time) I should be able to squeeze in 10 mins shouldn't I?) :huh: :huh:
:glasses: :glasses: We've had a few sunny days over the Bank Holiday weekend, which inspired me to do a bit of spring cleaning :bigsmile: I was back at work yesterday, quite a busy day so didn't get time to check in last night,. Still lacking in the energy department!
Well I'd best get a move on otherwise I won't even have 10 mins to exercise this morning!
Have a great day

To my fabulous friends, Surgery in the morning on my left wrist for carpal tunnel. I may not be replying to your comments for a few days, but DD will enter my diary info. I don't want to lose my consecutive days of logging! Keep working on your healthy habits, they will eventually become part of your life and your reality! I am forever grateful for you, my dear friends, my support team! ????LindaS
I haven't been on this message board for a couple of days! Wow, I can't
Believe there are 13 pages already!! I think I will have time to catch up over the next couple of days!
I have ordered a protein powder to make drinks! Thanks to M , who told
me about a powder called The organic whey! Sold on amazon. Should arrive this Thursday!
I am planning to use it as a meal replacement. I need to get past this, plateau and lets
Just say my exercise will be limited for awhile! Keep strong my friends, keep working towards your goals!
We can do this, one day, one minute at a time!
Forever grateful for your support and friendship! LindaS

Well, back from the doctor. Double ear infection, sinus infection and pneumonia. Finally have some strong antibiotics. The Norwegians don't like to give antibiotics because they think your body needs to learn to fight things off itself. :ohwell: Off to get groceries and then back in bed.0

It's been a few weeks since our discussion about bras and "taking care of the girls" - - but my reward to myself for my most recent weight loss milestone was to get some new, well-fitting bras. WOW!!!! So glad I did, I look like I lost five more pounds, just because I'm defeating gravity :bigsmile:
DeeDee – Sorry to hear about the news from the dentist, I’d be depressed too! But today is another day, hoping you find all the joy you can in it :flowerforyou:
CityJane – Wow, fainting? I didn’t realize it got that hot in England, I fainted once from the heat but I was in Texas in July!!! You did so well eating at the party, congratulations. Your Chinese meal sounds divine and your walk romantic
Meg – Yikes! Meetings s**k in my humble opinion. Sorry you’re having to endure so many. Hoping you do something special for yourself in celebration of your birthday :drinker:
Lucy – Your garden sounds amazing! :happy:
Joyce – Super terrific job you’re doing at the Y. It may feel like a foreign land for a few days, but you’ll soon learn your way around the place and the machines. You’re doing an awesome job for yourself!
Barbie – I laughed picturing your dogs, I happen to have a “roller” too! It’s his favorite part of the day, searching out and finding that perfect spot to roll around on in the park. He’s happiest when he’s covered in grass and leaves :laugh:
Michelle – Your schedule sounds crazy! How do you keep track of it all? You do a great job working in your exercise :happy:
Gail – Your dinner sounds supremely delicious
Temapo (Teresa) – Welcome to our thread, come back often for laughs and support :happy:
Jodi – Great news in shattering your plateau!!!!! :drinker:
Dovergopp – Great workout, super steps! I’m like you re: the housework, I need little rewards along the way to get it done :bigsmile:
BeckyRayJohns – You’ve set good, achievable goals for yourself. You clearly understand the emotions behind your eating too, and that’s a great first step in taking control of your health.
Cheryl – Sooooo sorry you’re hurting so much. I am praying with you that Tuesday brought you relief :flowerforyou:
Sailrunner – Welcome!!! Great goals and terrific start at eating and logging
Joy – Sorry you’re not feeling any better, taking to bed sounds like just the thing for you! :yawn: Hope the antibiotics do the trick and you’re feeling 100% very soon.
LindaS – Healing prayers to you for a successful surgery and recovery :flowerforyou:

morning friends~
well i went to the gym, was there an hr and think I did well. now to plan the food for the rest of the day..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG !!!!!!
Hubby is just not happy with the cruise line we picked and is seriously considering cancelling this cruise,but we could look at other cruise lines, so will look this weekend to see maybe if we can switch.
we finally are going to get some rain,we need it..
hope all is well with everyone
Dee Dee,usually if that tooth is infected ,you will be given antibiotics to get the infection taken care of then come back for the root canal. trying to give anesthetic to someone with an infection is fruitless,because it just wont work...
good luck with it, I have been in your shoes, sending virtual hugs((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))0 -
Michele - I googled shrimp burger recipes and then made some healthier choices for some of the ingredients. (I had one once at a place in Atlanta call Flip Burgers and it was delicious.) Shrimp is actually a great protein! I used canned shrimp that DH bought at some time and have to say it was not very flavorful. Starting with the fresh product has to be better... BUT the cans of shrimp are gone, hopefully never to be replaced again! (LOL - I guess I could have taken them to church for our TWO-CAN Sunday donation. The first Sunday of every month the youth group collects cans for a local food pantry.)
Off to work - BBL.
Gail, metrro Atlanta0 -
Hi Ladies. Everyone is so busy little bit of sunshine goes a long way!!! DH decided our patio needed a redo so we have been outside from sun up to sun down for last few days being a goffer my main job certainly does increase your steps for the day I'm well over my 10,000 for each day. hope I loose inches if I don't loose pounds just nice to get out after a long winter.
Thoughts and prayers going to those who are sick, and going through trying times
Congradulations for all the hard work everyone is putting into their health and well being
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG enjoy your day

Happy hump day!!

Welcome Newbies! This is an amazing group.:flowerforyou:
Cooky: Hope you feel better soon.:flowerforyou:
Barbie: I am always impressed by your healthy focus and your yard work. I live in a small townhouse development and the homeowner’s association pays someone to take care of the landscaping. I have a little fringe of flowerbeds and decks that I have used to plant things that please me. I am shocked and amazed at how content I am with the situation. I’m a master gardener and have always enjoyed gardening. Here I am with a few hanging baskets and a few feet of flowerbeds. :noway: Life is very surprising.:bigsmile:
Meg: Happy birthday!:flowerforyou:
Connie in CO: I like your garden idea with the cinder block raised beds. I hope you’ll post pictures of the project. Of course I have no idea how to post pictures but hope to see yours anyway.:laugh:
Michele: I always enjoy hearing about your activities. You and Vince are always busy doing things that sound like fun. The only bowling we do is on our Wii. I really like it and we’ve had fun with it while receiving no personal injuries. I’ve never been much of a bowler in the real world. I end up with sore this and that, and nasty bruised thumbs.:grumble: I love your idea of sending your soon to be daughter-in-law a note in Spanish. It is both good-hearted and thoughtful. I’d be tempted to write it in English and try Google Translate, but then it would have to be proofread by someone who really speaks Spanish. When I was teaching I had some students who were recent immigrants from southeast Asia and spoke little to no English. I tried the google translate idea and it worked well enough for basic communication. I had other students from the same country review the messages to be sure they made sense.
:flowerforyou:
LindaS: I hope the protein powder works out well. So many people sing its praises that I know it can be a good strategy. If you don’t stop by here frequently it is amazing how much has happened in people’s lives. I hope you’ll be able to post more often.:flowerforyou:
Sunshine: Thank goodness for antibiotics! Now maybe you can get well. I think the Norwegian medical community has a good point about avoiding OVER USE of antibiotics, but enough is enough. There are times antibiotics are needful, and this is one of them. I hope you’re well soon.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Brooke: Congratulations on defeating gravity! :bigsmile: When I think about laws of physics, I’m reminded that all of us have also defeated inertia repeatedly, with every lost pound.
Today the clock lady is scheduled to return to fix the clock chime problem she created while fixing the clock. Hopefully, the clock will chime the hour correctly, and the others as well. It runs with excellent accuracy, as always. I am the one who caused the problem in the first place by winding with too much vigor and a little bad luck. Tomorrow brings a return visit to the MS doctor. This guy is sharp. I wonder what he’ll want to have DH do next. I suspect more tests are in order. I hope we get to keep him regardless whether or not DH has MS.

:flowerforyou: Lovely Hump Day all you Vit f's.
Lucy- I just hate when we have computer updates that cause my work load to increase especially when it encompasses payroll. Glad you survived yours:flowerforyou:
drkatiebug-hoping that you were able to walk away the stress:flowerforyou:
Jo- congrats to your daughters for running in the marathon:flowerforyou: Good for you making good choices at the Chinese Buffet...not sure if I would have been that good:blushing:
Robin-sorry that "she" is on the war path again, nothing like a stressful work place come vent here anytime to relieve the pressure:flowerforyou:
Joyce I never noticed that it has changed to military time:huh: boy am I unobservant:blushing:
Meg- once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY:flowerforyou: You control the amount of birthday cake and a taste is a good celebration and let everyone else eat the big pieces Isn't it amazing how so many of us are going through or have gone through the same things with our parents...one of those sad but true things:brokenheart: I know that when I had my annual check up a few weeks ago I talked to the Dr about things that I had noticed with my Mom and that i didn't want to have those issues happen to me and she assured me that I'm doing fine. I just hope to take what I observed with my parents and learn from them what NOT to do:ohwell:
Katla-one of the things I remember most about our15 yrs in Oregon was that it was overcast and / or rainy up until the 4th of July many years and the green of course. it's the green that hubby misses the most and is always talking about moving back to Oregon but I remember all his complaining about how by June and July it should be warmer and sunnyer and I know we couldn't afford to become a snow bird
cooky- hoping you are feeling better soon:flowerforyou:
Barbie- your yard is sure to look lovey once you have it done:flowerforyou:
yannie- there have been plenty of times when I too thought I was supporting the USPS. When son #1 was in Afghanistan and Iraq we mailed care packages to him every week and I really got to know the people at the PO
colograndma-your garden sounds like it's just the right size:drinker:
Michele- Our rock was delivered on a Friday and I shoveled it into the wheelbarrel then hubby would take it and dump it where he wanted I would bring the wheelbarrel back and load it up again. It was hot sweaty work and we were sore (lots of advil) but got it done in two days as we really didn't want it sitting in the street for the week. Good luck with your rocks:flowerforyou:
dover-sounds like you have set yourself some good goals and are striving to get in those 10,000 steps:flowerforyou:
Joy- that loss is amazing congrats:drinker: Hoping that your hubby is able to get his Mom to go to the restroom on a regular basis it would be awful if she leaked on the seat:noway: Maybe he should take something for her to sit on:huh: Hoping you are feeling better soon now that you have the antibotics it should clear up sooner:flowerforyou:
Viv- 10 min in the morning sounds doable to me:drinker:
Linda- prayers for a successful surgery and quicker recovery:flowerforyou:
Brooke- one of the things I hae indulged in since my weight loss has been bras and undies....I just keep buying them and now have so many that I could go almost a full month and never wash:blushing: I think I'm a bit out of control so I just stay away from that part ot the store now.
grandmallie- which cruise line? Hubby said that maybe next winter we will consider taking a cruise so I'm pre thinking it :ohwell:
****
I'm not sure if I will be able to get back here tomorrow as I'm sure I will have more than enough work to do and wanting to get out of the office on time as we plan for our busy weekend.
When Son #2 was in the Air Force and stationed in Montgomery Alabama in the evenings and weekends he went to school and got his Batchlors Degree. After he was out he married our wonderful DIL and while she did her Master's he worked so while he has been doing his two Master's she has been working but now that he will out of school he said they are looking forward to finally having two incomes with no one in school Since Son #2 is so goal oriented I'm sure he will be meeting his next set soon. He's currently training for a triathlon this summer....I can't even begin to keep up with him and his wife does boot camp several times a week...makes my pittance of exercise look like a stroll in the park:blushing:
One of my field supervisors just called and we had one of our trailers broken into on the job site so I best go find all the papers that they will need to make a report to the insurance company:grumble: Just more paper work to do.
Everyone have a good day and let's keep logging.
Laura80111 in Colorado 0 -
Ladies, ladies! you are all so busy and chatty, I just can't keep up anymore!
Meg - a HUGE happy birthday wish to you! Celebrate the day with enthusiasm and may you feel loved :flowerforyou:
BeckyRay - It is hard to do self care when you are so busy taking care of others - you have my respect and admiration for raising three grands That takes a LOT of energy that seems to be in shorter supply at this age for me!!. Remember that your health and well being are essential if you need to care for others.
I can so relate to the boredom/emotional eating. I say "name an emotion and I will eat for it!" but you are on the right track logging everything - seeing it in print came be a wake up call and can help me to see patterns of eating as well as overall trends.
Linda - Hope your surgery and recovery goes well.:flowerforyou: Behave and rest and relax. Good idea to get your daughter to log for you - you have quite a streak to maintain:laugh:
We have gone from daytime highs of zero degrees last week to plus 27 degrees celsius this week. I think I can see the plants in my garden stretching and reaching for the sun and warmth! As am I!:happy:
Go well my friends, stay well.
Glenda, enjoying springtime in Alberta0 -
Quick note---skipped gym entirely this am in favor of strawberry picking; oh, how disappointing!!!! It's been too cold and too wet and the crop is paying for this awful weather. The varieties in my area: earlier ones "Sweet Charlies" are few and far between and the larger ones "Chandlers" aren't nearly as large as usual and both have many, many that turn out to be rotted on the side that is down when you go to pick them. DANG!!!! and DRAT!!!!0

Once again I'm way behind on these posts and have no time to catch up.
Thinking of and missing all my VitF buds.
I wanted to share the link to the article that helped me finally break my plateau...maybe some of you will find it of use at some point: http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/weight-loss/tips/diet-tips/weight-loss-plateau-tips/?sssdmh=dm17.666243&esrc=nwfitdailytip050713
LindaS - good luck and speedy recovery:flowerforyou:
To all the others who are afflicted with some issue (seen ear infections and dental issues recently) hope you are on the way to recovery:indifferent:
Congrats to all those with SV and NSV:drinker: :drinker:
welcome to all the newbies:bigsmile:

Happy Wednesday!:happy:
Sorry I've been MIA. I'm going to work my way backwards on the posts and hopefully will have a chance to respond to some of you before I run out of time. I'm was down another 1.5 lbs on weigh in day so hopefully will reach the 50 mark soon! Then if I lose 10 more pounds, I will actually be what I was 13 yrs. ago before I got a job that just involved sitting and also adopted a lot of my unhealthy eating habits. I unfortunately didn't eat very healthy this weekend and paid for it Monday because I felt sluggish and tired all day! However, I did have fun seeing both my sisters who I have not seen since the beginning of the year! Last comment, I finally did Water Zumba class today, first time since last year when I injured my calf. I tried to be careful especially with the jumping but it was a blast! Can't wait to try the Zumba Gold class Friday and I really like this instructor!
Meg - Hope you had a great birthday!:flowerforyou: How neat having the forum at the zoo!
Linda - Hope your surgery is very successful and I wish you a speedy recovery!
Katla- I'm glad your DH has a good doctor! When I was cleaning my desk drawer yesterday I found a card my mom had sent me years ago. Made me miss her more but oddly was comforting too! I'm sure your mom won't mind waiting until you get the time to go see her.
Joy - Wow, sorry you are so sick!:flowerforyou: Get plenty of rest and don't forget to stay hydrated!:drinker:
Barbie - I have never heard of Lavender ice cream! Would love to try some!
Cooky56ny - Hope you are feeling better!
Skinnylady201- Welcome!:flowerforyou:
Joyce - You are way more observant than me! I didn't even notice the way the dates are until you pointed it out!
Robin - Glad your dad is ok! My dad lived to be almost 90 - he passed several years ago and it is extremely difficult to realize that won't be around forever! I miss my mom everyday! Hugs!
No more time to post, have to get off my rear and get moving but I will catch up soon!
Kathy:drinker:
Still haven't tackled closets but did get more desk drawers cleaned out and did a bit of shredding.:laugh:0 -
So when I got home yesterday I had a missed call from my dad's lady saying that they almost lost him. that his heart isn't under control at all and that she thought I should know. My dad doesn't want to waste time to drive into the city to visit him. He says he is just fine. So I compormised and said I would call today to see how things have been going. If it isn't going to well I will drive down to the city. Today is my work for the good boss day so I am busy but not so stressed out. But the queen has requested that I work a 13 hour day this Friday. At least I will get a little overtime for the effort.
happy Birthday Meg
Kathy congrats on the 1.5 pounds
To those of you who are sick I wish you a speedy recovery.
Have a great day ladies.
Robin, Bodi and Ritter

Hi everyone,
Just been up to London AGAIN for two exhibitions at the British Museum. I went up with my brother. It was nice to get a bit of bonding in!
He is diabetic 2 and has quite a belly on him, although, apart from his eyes he is doing OK. I made him walk out for lunch down to Chinatown, then back to the museum, then walked all the way down to the station for the train home. I bought sushi to eat on the train. I think I stunk the whole train out with fishy smells! Good day, and kept my calories and exercise in reasonable ratio.:flowerforyou:
Will go for a walk tomorrow to our local wood to see the bluebells. At last we are getting a few showers for the garden, but it's not so good for walking!
May you all look after yourselves. - you are all precious. 0 -
:flowerforyou: Measured my waist this morning, and I am 1" slimmer. Nothing changing on the scale however, and I upped the lbs to where I have been for the last month. Darn.:grumble: :grumble:
Have a headache today. Wondering if it is a result of my chiro adjustments, since I have actually not really been prone to headaches since menopause. Dr. did say things could get worse before they get better. So, I will go with that. Renny

Hi all,
I'm having a hot flash right now running the little fan under my desk while my co-worker who sits next to me has her heater running under her desk. Grrrr, so frustrating. Anyway I'm here like you trying to drop a few pounds while the big M has me at a plateau. I figure every little bit helps so I'll just keep plugging away at it and post here and check in at other web sites to get motivation and different recipe/menu ideas.

Good early evening beautiful ladies:flowerforyou:
I didn`t even have time to say hello this morning:grumble: . I always like to start my day off with all my Vit. F`s!!! I think I got caught up on all the reading though. Just a few replys, because I`ve been sitting all day:sad: , and I swear my behind is numb:blushing: :laugh: . I`ve not even had my walk yet:noway: :ohwell: , at least the sun has decided to come part way out and it is warmer now. Noel and I should get in at least a 30 minute walk if not more!
Grandmallie I don`t think my tooth is infected, nothing hurts, it just showed up on my x-ray, that`s why Dr. said I had some time to decide what I want to do...my problem is I don`t want to do either:noway: :laugh: . I want it to be the way it`s supposed to be:sad: ! I go in to get a crown on the 22nd, and I`ll make up my mind then.
Robin Sure hope your dad is doing better:flowerforyou: !
Joy Take care of yourself!!! Sinus infection, ear infection and pneumonia:noway: , bless you, I hope you feel better soon:flowerforyou: . I finally got over my `bout of pneumonia after 2 rounds of antibiotics, I didn`t listen to the Dr. the first time and I kept going strong and I kept getting worse, when I finally slowed down and stayed home for a bit I finally got better. The worse thing was I didn`t know really how bad I felt until I started feeling better!
Kathy Water zumba sounds like fun!
Bennie Hi! Welcome! Come in often and chat! Some of the ladies have great recipe ideas here, me not so much:noway: , but I`m learning with each new recipe:laugh: ! I hear ya on the hot flashes:grumble: , hot, cold, hot, cold..that`s me most days
. I keep a sweater with me everywhere and I`m always taking it off then putting it back on...I just call them power surges now!
Enough chatting, got to get up and go for a walk!!!! Have a wonderful night ladies!!!
Hugs,
DeeDee in NC who needs to drink 5 more glasses of water today:noway: . I will get them in!!!0
