    Hi Vix
    I do not see why it wouldn't work. Just put the link in You signature to advertise it and maybe post it where they can see it.

    Have a great Day

    yup Roger's correct. just a matter of copying all the code to a text file then copying and pasting each time. annoying but hey, least they show :smiley:

    pam - lol i'm one of the "taller" ones at 5'2" we try not to discriminate too much though and let some of those non vertically challenged join us... if nothing else they can pull stuff off the shelves for us :smiley:

    Wow! So glad you found it!
    Welcome to Pam and Short 57. Thanks again Roger. You're a gem. :)
    I used to be 5'2". A few years back I found out I shrunk an inch....then yesterday I found out I shrunk another inch, so am now 5' nothing. So now I have even more weight to lose. AACK!

    Hey, congratulations Kel! Yay for under 190! :)
    ha...they just shouted out my new height (or lack thereof). :(
    It actually snowed here for a few minutes this morning, the sun is coming out now. Yay!
    Keeping busy...went to an Audubon native plant sale this morning and then to a huge flea market this afternoon.
    To a friend's house tonight, the guys are playing poker, we'll just hang out and probably laugh a lot. :)

    sounds like you have a very busy day/evening planned, hope you have a wonderful time out and about :)

    Good morning! :)
    Yes, it is late for snow! Will put the plants back out in a couple of days, it's warming up.
    Yesterday was busy. And fun. We bought some native irises, a white aster, and a yellow coreopsis.
    At the flea market, I got 3 12x16 inch picture frames with glass and mats for $1 each. They need to be repainted/refreshed, but that was a bargain. :)
    And getting together with friends is always fun.
    My diet has stalled somewhat, but hoping to get it going again this week. Still down 2 pounds from 3 weeks ago. That's an accomplishment for me. :)
    Enjoy Sunday, everyone.

    two pounds is two pounds lady :smiley: just try and stay on plan and get what exercise you can in :)

    plants are one of the things i miss about not being in a house vs. apartment. yes i could have stuff here but it's not the same and honestly i'd never see them on my patio lol. i'm so glad you had a great day yesterday :)

    when do you expect to hear anything from the dr and are you still improving like last week? :)

    huggs, off to get ready for family running around stuff :)

    Hi Kel...I'm feeling a little better...still lots of body aches and random occasional pains. I'm going for a sonagram on my abdomen on Thursday, and then have a follow up with the doc on Wednesday next week...by then he should have the results of all my tests. He thought the severe pain may have been a gall bladder attack? and that all my aches seem like fibromyalgia....I think he wants to verify. Meanwhile (while I'm waiting) I got a DVD out of the library today "Mayo Clinic Wellness Solutions for Fibromyalgia", so I'll take a look at that.
    It was a beautiful day, so went for a long walk in the park....even though it's not comfortable, it's better for me than sitting....and yes, I'm happy with losing 2 pounds, would love to keep that going. :)
    Hope you got your running around done. Sorry you don't have space for plants....do you have a nice window you could put them in?
    Hiya Pam and Short57! Pop in when you can. Let us know how it's going. :)

    E - yup have my kitchen window that the one furbaby will share with me. currently one basil plant and one cilantro :) the furbaby seems to like the basil plant but it kinda looks like a bush (it REALLY likes that window) so he must not be doing any harm to it :)

    i hear you on the moving thing... i keep trying to remind myself of that when my back acts up really bad.

    what are they doing to confirm the fibro? i had a co-worker with it and she said it was more a matter of elimination then an actual "ah ha" when her dr diagnosed her (no idea how long ago that was).

    hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow lady :)

    Good morning Kel.
    Love basil (I have some Thai basil hanging in from last year).
    I don't know what he's doing to confirm fibro, there was a slew of checkmarks on the blood request. Maybe it is just a best guess thing, but I'll probably find out next week.
    Going off to my yoga class this morning and see if that works out,
    Have a good day. ;)

    Hi Vix
    Native iris? I have heard of the Dutch iris and the German bearded Iris.

    I gather that the Thai basil is a lot different than the common Basil You can buy in a SuperMarket.

    my question is does it taste different... i'm guessing yes but i'm new to all this spice type stuff lol. i normally leave all that in my son's hands. he's pretty good at figuring out combinations even though he doesn't really cook (go figure that one out)

    hope you're both doing well today :) off to go finish off my steps for the day then cook some dinner :) will peek in again in awhile.

    Thanks, Roger. I'm working on feeling better. :p :)The native Maryland iris are iris Versicolor and Iris Cristata. They are both perennials, and native to this area.
    Kel, Thai basil is different than regular basil. I really like the taste. has sort of an anise taste to it besides the basil taste. Besides using it in Thai type food, and experimenting with different dishes, I like to put a couple of the leaves in a salad for a different flavor.
    Have a good night.

  • dia_shewolf
    dia_shewolf Posts: 177 Member
    possibly not but at least we told them where we were going :) i also put a link in my sig over on NS, hopefully they'll peek in before the boards go down and find us again :)

    hope you had a fun day :) today's a bit more painful then yesterday but i'm hoping hubby was able to put things back for me before he went to work. felt like something was a bit out of alignment in my upper back when i left work. fingers crossed... it feels a lil better just very sore and achy now lol

    made the mushroom risotto tonite and added an entire basket of additional mushrooms, some beef broth, spinach and preshelled/detailed shrimp. that was pretty nummy and filling :)

    here's to a good tomorrow :smiley:

    Good morning :)
    Kel, I'm really glad you're here. :) Hope you're feeling better. Who gave us all these aches and pains, anyway?
    The mushroom risotto was one of my favorites when I was eating NS food.
    It looks like a beautiful sunshiny day here, and bonus....ta-da....my scale was down a pound from last week. Yay!

    Hi Vix and Kel
    The other thing about the Mushroom Risotto is that it is a lower calorie Dinner and is lower than many of the lunches. That makes it perfect to use if You have a High calorie Breakfast & Lunch to control the overall calories for the day

    Cheers

    yay for correct scale movement! i'm very happy i stumbled into you when i first got here :) having someone around pretty much daily to connect with helps so much :) i'm liking the new venue too... not as "cliquie" feeling so i've been jumping in more on different threads.

    hey Roger, how are you? i haven't gotten to that point in my journey... guess i'll get there sometime :smiley: mostly right now it's look in my drawer and go hmmm what do i feel like for food lol :)

    yep, it's kind of fun jumping into other groups, but I still like my small groups and having a few people I feel really comfortable with. I always had a hard time trying to keep up with the big groups.
    I had another rough day today. Going for a sonagram tomorrow, then back to the doc next week.
    There's a beautiful calm sunset tonight. Peaceful shades of pink, gold, blue, gray.
    Going to just relax the rest of the evening.
    Good night everyone. :)

    i'm the same way... hard to really get to know people decent so you can keep up with what's going on when the groups are so large :)

    sorry you're hurting lady, hope they're able to help soon :) *huggs*

    Good morning.
    Thanks for the sympathy, Kel.
    I'm lucky and usually feel pretty good, so it's been kind of wierd, not sure what to do with myself!
    Back from my sonagram, now just have to wait to talk with the doc.
    Off to my drawing and painting class in a little while.
    Hope you're feeling good and have a great day. :)
