Okay-- so I'm totally not getting how you quote multiple posts, Jason-- noway I'm so computer illiterate.
And I'm a computer geek my trade. lol ..... I will try to explain it but the forum may make it hard on me.
So basically I :
1) Copy the text that I want to quote.
2) in the reply section i type in square brackets [ ] quote and /quote
3) I paste the text I copied above in between the two quotes.
Example... replace qwote with quote
[qwote] insert text here [/qwote]
Thanks Jason. Yes, we plan to challenge them, but our assessed value is pretty spot on. The county we live in is very rural and we are hugely less populated than the other county with the lesser taxes. We think this is a big reason for the difference between the two counties. Our rates are just so much higher than the other. It's sad because there are a lot of people in the same boat as us. Our town is losing so many families due to them moving to a cheaper area.
My boss is currently trying to get me a salary increase but there are no guarantees as to whether it'll get approved or what the increase would be. What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger...right?
My boss has the same problem, live outside the city and because her county is so small yet gets alot of the city services their property taxes are higher to pay for them which really bites.0 -

Yes, it does. But, as Marla would say, "Whatyagonnado?"0 -
Congratulations and thank you.Welcome newbie! flowerforyou I'm Lori. There are 2 of us so I am Lori-PA. I'm the pregnant one, not the one who likes to look at naked women. laugh

Jason, you are gonna fit in around here just fine.
My 13 year old son is a computer geek. I wish he had somebody to talk to about the stuff who cared. He listens to podcasts on technology for fun, then proceeds to torture me with all the details he has learned. I try to listen, but honestly I could care less. The problem is, when he asks questions, if I don't know the answer, he starts over. I think Marla's Insanity workout would be a ton more fun!
Seriously, the day that kid's MacWorld magazine arrives in the mail is the happiest day of the month for him. My only hope is he'll make lots of money and take care of us somebody for having to listen to his constant dribble about computers and cell phones.0 -

Hmm, last time I heard that I was stuck into a padded room with an I love me jacket.
Isn't that every parents wish, to have their children make something with their lives and keep their parents in a lifestyle they want to be accustomed to? lol0 -
Don't forget, Lori, Lori from Pa is due in two weeks. We'll have lots of new Blackettes crawling around.
Yeah, don't forget me! And it's not 2 weeks, it's 12 days. Dave rolls his eyes at me when I say that. I snap at him, "You try being 8 1/2 months pregnant and see if two days makes a difference to you!"
Welcome newbie! :flowerforyou: I'm Lori. There are 2 of us so I am Lori-PA. I'm the pregnant one, not the one who likes to look at naked women. :laugh:
<----me and I was 6 hrs past due date. Every minute counts. Your almost there sweety pie! THEN

All right, Jason-- I'll try the quote thingie one of these days-- you rock. Thanks for the explanation-- I'll keep my fingers crossed that it didn't just whoosh over this ol' broad's head.
Had a follow up with the doctor a bit ago-- way psyched. I've been weaning off the blood pressure medicines-- the totally unnecessary blood pressure medicines-- 50mg, down to 37.5 last week, 25 this week-- so far, no weight gain, blood pressure steady-- next week 12.5, then gonna do every other day for a week-- then buh-bye!!
Woooot!!!!!!!!
Totally proud of resisting the pretzel M&Ms at the checkout-- I. AM. WOMAN.
Heading to the pool in my new totally "too low" suit-- ha-- my daughters are freaking out. Whispering to each other-- "It's nice, but isn't it too low?" IT'S NOT TOO LOW, PEOPLE! I'm 46 years old, my dear daughters-- I HAVE BOOBS! Deal with it.
Later.0 -

Tamara- we got your number silly, we will dial it when we need to!
So proud of you. One year at or under goal weight. That is certainly something to shout out!
I am proud of myself too. I just ate a whole 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese without gagging. Ok, my proud is so insignificant next to Tamaras, but I've been trying to eat that stuff.... you know, good for you, protein, blah, blah. I got stuff called smooth and creamy. Well, it was still lumpy, but I did it! Maybe I should try oatmeal again, although truly the thought almost makes me dry heave. Not sure what it is about that stuff but I find it dreadful!
Edit to add... Marla, hope you sunscreen up the girls! From the sounds of it, they haven't seen sun for a long time! :bigsmile:0 -

Lori. my friend puts her cottage cheese in her mini food processor. she will add a bit of cinnamon and sweetner. or fruit and sweetner and pulse it so it is smooth like cannolli cream. Just an idea for making that stuff palatable!0 -
I love cottage cheese-- why do I always forget to buy it? *smacks forehead* Thanks, guys-- duhhhhhhhh.
Tamara-- we're always good for a good kick in the keester 'round here-- glad we could help.
Busy night on tap-- no time to tarry--

I had a great time out last night with my friend, drank 2 pints of lime and soda (added the lime to my diary), and was completely done in when I got home so no time on the bike - didn't want to push myself too hard as home alone with the boys etc. I have weighed myself today - and have lost :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: , so will carry on eating good and exercising and I will get back onto my goals.
I have looked at the suits on the Lands End site, and they look lovely just need to find my tape measure :huh:
Ok, better go need to put a loaf of bread on, wake up a 13 year old, safety check the house etc etc etc. Have a good day all, t xx0 -

Mine used to tell me 1/2 banana and tbls of peanut butter. I would gag it down because I hate to eat in the morning and do not care for banana. But I always had good workouts so it must have worked.
have a great day..........cannot wait to hear how fit you are!!0 -

Yeah, the tape measure is important. I love LE bathing suits. Careful on some with the 'tummy tuck' designs or what ever they call them..........they can be super tight.
I liked the little boy short ones. I have been wearing a skirt and feel kinda old ladyish............the shorts and cool beans!
And cottage cheese is yummy in my tummy!! Pinapple........blueberries..........strawberries............honey.......or just plain.0 -

:drinker:
Marla, you never cease to amaze me. Now that I have this fixed............I am going to try Chalean or something.
I now have this irrational fear (or bestest excuse EVER) of running/jogging. I keep visualizing the occluder in my heart dislodging :sick:
Doc said no worries in 1 month to go back to anything I was doing before.0 -
Wondering if Marla can get outta bed this AM..... Go Insanity!
Tamara- have fun with your trainer
Jeannie- I do the old lady skirts, it hides my thighs better. Boy shorts accentuates them, maybe some day....
Tanya- my thoughts exactly on cottage cheese... but I'm trying
Was chuckling to myself yesterday, thinking back to when I was complaining to my husband about the saggy skin on my thighs (which by the way my friends, as I'm watching some more of these 'last 10 pounds slowly disappear, I'm watching my skin on my whole body appear less full and more loose.... kinda scary....not really the look I was aiming for... anyway.....) I was telling him about it and he goes "Isn't there lotion to help with that?" :noway: Now my friends, that would be some sort of miracle *kitten*!
I sometimes think of a shrinky dink.... can't they just heat me up so all the skin magically shrinks back? Ahhhh, If only.
I was also laughing at my ex husband. He's had the boys since Saturday, when I talked to him last night he said that Alex, the 10 year old has done nothing but b!tch and moan and whine. Well DUH! We don't call him resident whiner for nothing! I'm soooooo happy he's sharing with his dad! In all fairness to Alex though, they had to take him to the doctor, he had an ear infection, so much of his whining has been about an ear ache, his jaw hurts and his throat. Then the kooky doctor gave a 10 year old huge antibiotic pills to take and that has been an ordeal. I told his dad to call and say the pills aren't going well and they need liquid. Yeesh! Common sense dude!
Need to roll outta bed. Fasted cardio on the agenda, breakfast, lifting and and interval training class.
Have a great day all!0 -

At lands end I found a bit longer shorts!! I love them and am going to order them right now!! I dont really mind the shorter skirt......but it gets in the way of my walking. These shorts were uber cute and you could match with the top of your choice!
Check em out, I think you will like them!! Especially with your hot legs 0 -

Good morning everyone,
Had my weigh in last night and things went well. Down another 2 3/4 lbs from last week.
On another note, moved offices for the next couple of weeks. I need to document everything I've been doing for the past couple of years so that when I'm off for a month when my baby is born (taking all my vacation so I can be with baby and wife) my coworkers and boss can muddle through everything I am responsible for. Boring boring boring...
lol.0 -
Marla, Sarah is such a wonderful, well-spoken young woman. It's always a pleasure to watch/listen to her. Your proud o meter must be bursting!0

Kati--
Edit-- poopy-- I had a funny applause-o-meter here-- but photobucket won't allow it-- poopsicles.
Seriously-- my daughter makes me laugh and cry. I'm soooooooo proud of who she's becoming. After the debacle that is my son, it's sweet to see that I haven't screwed up ALL of them.
Typing done for now-- off to parts unknown.
Feeling sore but great after Insanity-- I think I may have to get a run in tonight-- not sure how I want to proceed. Insanity for a full week, and then get back into running? Or keep the running going, too-- hmmmmmm-- me thinks B.
Have a great day, my friends-- love to all.0
