Just finished walking on the treadmill. Still alternating days between strength training and cardio. Yesterday I went and bought heavier weights before my workout. I could not up the weight on every thing but did up it on several. Jack thinks its great. It pleases me that he is so pleased .

Thank you all for the kind words about my granddaughter. I told her I'd take her shopping before she goes to get a nice "professional" outfit for when she wins top price. Positive thinking!! Also will give her some spending money to have while in Boston.

I think your granddaughter will have a great time in Boston, it has a lot of things to offer for the young folk and you can't beat it for the historic value. In fact, my date on Saturday will be in Harvard Square where we will be hanging with the college kids.

Lenora~ Cute Story!! We have had many "girl issues" themed talks with our sons. One being that when a girl as school gets suddenly cranky, or moody it might be that they are on their period. My sons agreed that they have a right to be cranky when they have to deal with THAT every month. I wanted my sons to learn empathy for the opposite sex, not just oogle them. I figured it was my job to enlighten them :-) I think that having them grow up in the environment such as the resort made it able for them to talk to just about anybody.

It's sad that in this world so many adults have a fear of teenagers. Well in California when my sons would ride their bikes down the bikes paths, they would take off their ear buds and say hi to anyone they met. My middle son said one day, "Why are they so hesitant of me?" I said that they just didn't know you, but to keep doing what you are doing. Many will say hi to you. I always taught them to "listen to their inner voices" so there are adults you might not wish to say hi to, and that's OK.

I have had many a talk to my sons about our "hobby" stating that not many would approve of it, or understand. It did help our older sons with self esteem, especially the middle son that went thru a definite pudgy stage in middle school. During the summer when we would go to the resort, he could run in the sun and it just didn't matter. When he got to high school, he put a AANR sticker on his main folder, so everyone knew he was a nudist, (he was really tan). Once when I was explaining to a teacher the fact that I had to take son out of class early so we could go camping at the resort, she asked, "With this clothing outlet place you go to, do you have a card kind of thing or what?' I answered, "Well its a clothing Optional place and yep we have a membership card. " She got beet red saying, "Oh I totally missed the bar on that one!" But she was glad I had told her anyways.

Today at the TOPS meeting I gained .6 lbs. Nothing to fret over and technically I am still in some sort of holding pattern. Otherwise an ok meeting. No wise words of wisdom, or enlightenment, but still nice to see everyone.

Katla: ductless A/C does not need ducts to cool your home. We have hot water heat and thus no ducts for forced air. The units hang high on the walls and the condenser is on the outside of the house. The condenser is as wide as a forced air unit but not as deep. It also is set off the ground. We had a beautiful day yesterday. Today we are getting a heavy wet snow. Fortunately they got most of the work done before the snow hit. The electrician has work he needs to complete. It will be great to have it on those 90 + and 80% humidity days.

I am pooped...long day at work, and I was the only one working because miss chatterbox wouldn't shut up. have to get up at 2:30.. so I can get to the gym by 3 so I have the 2 hrs and then go home walk the dogs and take off for the cape..

Yvonne – When I talk about people ‘working’ the system; I am speaking of people that get extra ‘food stamps’, ‘public housing’, ‘free cell phones, ‘very reduced or free healthcare’, and don’t work because ‘if’ they do they would either lose their ‘un- or under-employed status’ and their benefits would be decreased. It crosses all racial lines - so don't say that I am being 'racist' ... I'm not. We see young girls with several babies walking the streets in town, going into stores and buying nice things, probably with the Baby-Daddies’ making money by selling drugs, etc. Most of the young mothers are so engrossed in conversations of their own, that the toddlers are walking alone; it is almost like they don’t care if they need to be watching traffic.

When you talk about the “Stuff Police” not coming and taking your ‘stuff’ away from you; bankruptcy laws vary state-to-state. For instance, if you know that you will have to file ‘bankruptcy’ one of the best states to live in is Florida. They can’t throw you out of your home, or take things you have bought for the home; things like that. But, in Georgia, depending on what type of bankruptcy proceedings you go through they ‘can’ take ‘everything’ that you have and sell it at a public sale to give to your creditors.

I'm so saddened at what occurred in Brussels; it is getting bad everywhere. But, we lose if we cower down and don't go out and about our business. Just be aware of what is going on around you.

Joyce- Shep is very photogenic! I hope that Charlie has a good time tonight.
