Once Thread Killer, Always Thread Killer

We just got Goodwill stores here in the last yr. My daughter lost a lot of wt and as she'd drop sizes she found such nice new clothes at Goodwill. People take things that still have the tags on them.
Have a good night/day.:drinker:

You don't have to be if you don't want to

I'm glad to see this little thread is still kicking. I've been super busy - work, school, family, music - doesn't leave much time for chit-chat. :ohwell:

I just saw that Goodwill was the topic of conversation last week. I have to say that I too love Goodwill and any of the other thrift stores out there! While I was dropping weight so fast last year, I went through 3 entire wardrobe replacements. I couldn't have done it without the thrift stores. And as I bought the smaller sizes, I packed up my old clothing and donated it right back to Goodwill. I didn't want any of my big stuff hanging around as a "safety net". Getting it out of my house was symbolic of getting the fat person out of my life! And I agree LJ - I don't know if I'll ever go back to shopping the "regular" stores except for the occasional purchase. Its kind of nice when you buy "used" that the garment is pre-washed and pre-shrunk. No surprises after the first wash! :laugh:

TOPIC FOR THE WEEK

LIFE LESSONS YOU HAVE LEARNT

One lesson my mother has taught me is to always cook with love. If you don't feel like cooking or cant do it with a good vibration don't. Let some one else prepare the meal or take time out and get in a better mood if that fails. A simple meal eg. bread and cheese.

I donate the big sizes back too, for the same reason. I have only saved one pair of pants, so that when I am done I can take that humiliating photo, standing in my old pants. :laugh:

I think one of my life lessons is that you shouldn't judge people with a first impression.

This is such a valuable lesson. A corollary is, just because someone has made a bad snap judgement of you, don't give up on them. My brother-in-law did NOT like me when I first started dating his brother. For DH's sake I did not react to his "bad attitude" and as time has passed he has learned, I ain't so bad after all.

And stop to smell the flowers...

Sssshhh i think i killed it

Hello! Can I join once a brand new topic is chosen? grace2you, donnalynn

LJ I was peeking at your photos and I wanted to know if you gave some of your pounds to that turtle of yours?
(My little brother had a box turtle as a child!) ruaturtle?

I was curious how long a thread must go untouched before it is DEAD? (in your opinions)
I was last on one awhile ago, but mostle people skip me and reply to the person(s) above me! What is that about?:laugh:

Ok. Now the next poster can skip me and respond to LJ!:ohwell:

nonnalynn - I don't know if I am invisible or just ignored. On facebook my statuses go without comments or likes, when in traffic and I get cut off I am sure I am driving my invisible car, on MFP I too am skipped over or ignored. Maybe I am just boring. Or if I am invisible then i wouldn't have to worry about being obese.

I have been battling a virus (or 2 ) for sometime (6 wks). Was tested for whooping cough, not detected. but i think regardless of not knowing what it is i am starting to getting better. So much for better that I have just spent 2 1/2 hours weeding the garden. Every muscle in my body is aching but it feels good. Now for a rest.
During these past weeks I havve put a lot of weight back on. Comfort eating. I always eat when I'm sick hoping it will make me better.
Any hoo, now to get back on top of things.



I could do with a holiday somewhere quiet.

Me again, Actually they are called grape hyacinth. Have about 15 or so getting ready to bloom!

Maryee71 = Just moved here two, well, April 1st will be two years, ago. It was a foreclosure home and the yard had not been tended to in two years or better. Working hard to get it where I want it to be. Still a long ways to go. Hoping next year or later this year to get rid of 3 maple trees and flatten out the front yard so I can make a nice little flower garden in front.

I think I also may have what you are talking about. Lucky for me when I get sick I just want sleep!

mem==we bought a home several yrs ago that had set empty for months and it was like yours, the yard was awful also. Hope you took some pics when you first moved in so that you will be able to see the big change.

LJ -= hope your week quiets down and you can just pop in to say Hi. You're just such an inspiration with your great wt loss.

I always envy people that can exercise in the early AM. I am not a morning person. At 10 PM I can tackle anything, but 7 AM is another matter. I am not ready for summer!! I wish I were someplace that would be 68 to 72 all the time.
