    Nice! The ladies did seem to be having fun.

    Just imagine all of us in a big weight room. We would be having a ball!

    That would be so fun! Lifting together!

    It would be the craziest mixture of absolute support, TMI, and talking smack! @m1xm0d3 would you be up for such a weight room?

    @nonoelmo that is awesome!! So glad it didn't take her long to give the weight room another try!!

    I have been doing well this weekend. Actually got up and exercised both mornings! A first for me. Funny thing, I weighed in today, then went on my morning walk, came back showered and my daughter was playing with my scale. So I got on it again and it was about a pound and a half lower! That would have me under 200! Well, I got off and got back on and it was up about a half. So I won't record that one, but next week for sure!

    Great job! I am sure you will make it next week!

    I started. I sent out a few Postcards and will continue to chip away at the list. Thus mine will trickle out as I get spare moments and it is not a reflection of anything other than my time limitations how quickly these get put in the mail. I started in country for simplicity. I had the proper postage but I will keep on it.

    I have only started with our August birthday, but will try and start to add a few random cards here and there! It will keep things fun!

    I want to come I want to come!!! We didn't get to go to Hampton Court and that was one of the places I wanted to go realllllly bad! I may be living over there by that time :)
    Yesssss! If I'm not living there already I can just stay with my SO! He can drive me to meet up with y'all!

    Yay! We have three now, and I think eithe Julie or Lois was thinking of joining us too!

    I have never seen Downton Abbey, I guess I better watch before July 2016. I remember the Tower of London, that was cool. I haven't been to Hampton Court. I can't wait!

    Laura are you going to join us on the mountain climb?
  • Posts: 13,235 Member

    @pofoster21 is collating addresses and birthdays. PM her your details to join in. It's a rolling thing I think

    Anyone is in! Just send me your birthday, email and address. If I know you (hint to our reading/not participating folks) I will add you and redistribute. Laura sent hers to me so I will update and send out again tomorrow. Melissa, they shut the thread down before I got to put your email in so I need you to send it to me again! Thanks!

    I think it's more dangerous for the guys who are doing the actual blasting in the new areas. Although he has mentioned that occasionally the ground will give way in a weak spot and giant sink holes will appear, and there have been rock falls. But they seem to be pretty meticulous about safety. I know there have been times that he's called and said they've been delayed going underground because fans haven't been working and gases haven't been exhausted properly.

    The deepest level is something like 1400 meters below surface. No way you'd get me down there.

    I have no idea about the shifts, possibly because they fly employees in and out. And I know he isn't underground for his entire shift, they start on surface doing paperwork and ordering parts for about the first 3 hours because that's when the blasting is taking place and no one else is allowed in the mine.

    There are quite a few mines around here and they all seem to run on different shifts... some are 1 week in/1 out, some are 3 in/1 out.

    I couldn't spend that much time underground either. Not because it would bother me (I don't think it would) but I would miss the sunlight/fresh air. That does have to be hard on you having him gone so much.

    We will put Devon on the itinerary, and anywhere else you want to go. And you Can meet my babies and.we'll take them to the zoo. And Windsor Castle tower of London, Hampton Court, Highclere house (Downton abbey) Covent garden,

    I would like to go to Dover too. Is that do-able?

    I have to admit that I have no idea what this means. Do you mean that you like her plain speaking?

    I would assume yes. :) I have been told by people who work for me that I can be really abrupt in my writing, especially when on my phone. I am a kind of say what needs to be said and move on person in writing (in real life I can talk your ear off, but in business I am also known for being a bit abrupt). I have learned over the years to try and soften it a bit with a "Hey, Susie" or "Hi, Susie, hope all is well. I was wondering if you could..." rather than "Susie, I haven't seen that report I asked for". That is more my style... but I try to be 'softer' now as I am more aware of it. But under duress, the 'limit your word count' in me comes out. :)

    Yep, climbing that mountain is the main reason we are doing this, but I have always wanted to see Scotland and want to see England again, so bookending some definite traveling!

    I wonder what the moderators who read through these things think of our thread at this point. I wonder if there are others out there that evolve like this one has? Just a random thought!

    So I just randomly popped into this cat gif thread I follow that I haven't looked at in ages... I probably started following this and that one about the same time. They just celebrated 100 PAGES!

    Seriously, guys, we have to keep up with the other threads around here. Hurrumph... goes off to sulk.

    Oh that is funny, I am sure it wasn't at the time!! She sees me check mine and she will see how much she weighs. I always tell her she is looking good.

    At the time, I had gestational diabetes and it was not funny, but it is now. He will still step on the scale occasionally and yell out "200!" He's 6'2", has a 28" waist and 32" inseam and actually weighs 140, but I laugh every time he does it.

    Yes, that's it. My kid has autism because I do and extra words sometimes confuse me, even now. My boss beats around the bush, especially in emails, and it makes me nuts.

    Welcome! I've eaten the whole bag before and would again if not for celiac disease.

    Ooh, ah, oh, what kind of rifle? Mine was a Remington .22LR. Great little target rifle and good for keeping varmints out of the garden. (Yes, my grandmother cooked the varmints, she very clearly remembered the depression and everything we hunt, we eat.)

    It was a Mossberg International Flex-22. I've never actually used it to hunt anything. I do need to get in practice with my firearms. But shooting can be an expensive hobby.

    @spacequiztime and @kellyjellybellyjelly I'm even excited for the trip to Red Lobster. He's at 288 right now so I have a bit of time.

    I told my sister, the one with diabetes, about MFP and she hasn't been keeping up with it. Thankfully with the summer though, she has lost some weight and her doctor has noted some improvement in her kidney function. I would LOVE for her to get in on the group but we'll have to see. I know she would probably have a field day with the super great recipes thread! She's an excellent cook.

    Of course! Dover from London is about an hour as long as operation stack isn't in placehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Stack

    That is interesting. I assume cars can still drive? It looks like those 'lorries' are parked on either side of the road, but it does look like it would cause traffic issues.

    I miss you all terribly, but I will be ever so busy with work, that I won't have a lot of time to chat during the day. I will try to check in at lunch and after work at home. I hope you all had a great weekend. Anyone on vacation (@FroggyBug and @jthurman3) I hope you have the best time, and everyone else has a great week. I'll catch you all later.

    I put a juicy confession in the batcave.
