Happy anniversary, Janetr Praying for those of you in the path of Matthew. My step daughter and family live near Cocoa Beach. We are hoping the predictions are worse than the actual event. Day 5 done on this renewed path TN Toni

Penny - beautiful pictures and description of your adventure! Toni in Tennessee

Hello everyone, I find myself looking forward to checking in with you. Quite a change in my attitude compared to the last several months. This is day 4 of my renewed journey. I feel strong, encouraged, and determined -one day at a time! Welcome, Tammy. You're right. This is a wonderful group for encouragement and support.…

Hello, Enjoying the posts. Makes me wonder why I deserted y'all. Heather, I always love to hear about your adventures. Keep the details coming. Enjoy a delicious meal tonight. Pip- I knew you'd still be on that bike! Ride - Pip - Ride! We had our TOPS meeting today and I am down 3.2 pounds. Yeah! Back on this journey one…

Happy birthday, Heather! Enjoy your trip Margaret, love the zombie birds! How funny. My thoughts and prayers are with those of you who are recovering or hurting. Toni in Tennessee

Hi all - I am returning after more than a year's absence. Went way off track and regained 50 pounds (a long story) but I am back now and will enjoy following along with you again. I have Carrie to thank for my return. Out of the blue she messaged me and I discovered my desire to reconnect. I turn 67 this month so it's…

Waiting in the Dallas airport for my next flight.Good time to catch up on posts.. YEAH for the rain in Canada I'm such a clutz with this phone keyboard. Looking forward to getting home to my notepad and computer so I can keep up and comment better. Toni

Flying home to hubby and Shirley the cat tomorrow. It will be so good to get back to water workouts and normal routines. I'll be calling knee doc to schedule replacement. I'm so done with this pain! Toni

Sis got this from a FB friend- Don't be negative. You may have been given a cactus but you don't have to sit on it! Good advice for me with this knee and back pain. Toni

Happy birthday Chris!!!!! Pip - so glad you are better! What a scare! Lisa - congrats on the job. Selena - glad you got the book launched. I am praying for you and your family. I am still in Kansas. We had some excitement Monday ---a tornado! I'm enjoying my visit. Getting to see my nephew who is home from Hong Kong. I'll…

Hello friends Skimming posts and enjoying being back in contact. I am suffering with severe sciatica. Not sleeping. Really not myself. Been trying a new chiropractor. Now that I'm at my sisters just doing my back exercises. So much pain. Weight is up too. Pip - so glad you and your honey are having such a great time! Tell…

Been absent from you all way too long. On my way to Kansas now to see my sis. TNToni

All I can say is WOW! welcome to all of you new ladies! The more the merrier! This is a wonderful group of supportive woman. Stick around and join it the chats. Proud of myself for staying caught up on posts. I'm working Fri., Sat., and Sun. this weekend so I didn't take notes but I do remember a few comments to make:…

Heather and Pip - thanks for sharing about your perspective on exercise. I really like my water classes but dragging myself out of bed to get going plus all the "gear" sometimes makes me tempted to skip. Now that I am picking up my older friend and we go together I won't back out. It is hard to do the non water classes at…

Hi, there! Taking time to read about you all and write a little before leaving for work. My lady bits are feeling much better today. Even the pee doesn't seem to bother them. Thanks for the tips about the Bag Balm, girls. I'll get some for "just in case". Of course the reason I am so bummed about the No Pool is that this…

Hi friends "old" and new! Selena - how tragic. Your family is in my prayers. Joyce - I think you posted about the girl in an iron lung. When I was little I remember all the polio scare times, especially in the summer. Most of my friends had to go in and rest for a while each day (to lower their risk?). My mom was so…

Oh, forgot to say I am doing some dancing to the BeeGees on PBS right now! Memories!

Wow - 2 days in a row without a frozen computer! Counting my blessings. According to my Software engineer son I do not need to pay to have this one cleaned up. It is so old and low grade he says a new one is the way to go but he will help me get the virus protection and free Office. So we'll see. This old one works today…

Checking in while the computer works! I can't remember giving you all an update on my knee... very large bone spurs on both sides of my lower leg bone. They are what makes things catch and hurt. Everything else is bone on bone and full of arthritis so I think another knee replacement is in my future. I hope it can wait…

Hi all - I am shocked this computer is working today! I was actually able to read pages 24 and 25 without it freezing 10 times! Not even once!!!! Allison - I know I missed the info about your struggles but I am sending you (((Hugs))). Michele - Did you put another critter by the pool? I bet it is cute as a bug (HA)! Meg -…

I am needing to decide about getting a new laptop or having the viruses cleaned up on this one! Was able to get on today for a minute. I'm 14 pages behind and know I will never catch up so I won't try. Darned computer!!!!! Even though I have been missing you, I have managed to drop 6.4 lbs. Who knew being honest with…

HELLLLLLP I've fallen behind and I CAN'T CATCH UP! There are so many posts I want to respond to but I'm only up through page 10! I have been reading furiously and giving thoughtful responses to all of you - they are just not typed out (kinda like the "Dear Abby" and "Letters to the Editor" thoughts I never actually wrote…

I had computer issues all day and could not get on to the "Community" until about an hour ago. I was 8 pages behind and am still not caught up! I've really enjoyed your June posts. I am up through page 6 now so hopefully I'll be "even" with y'all soon. WELCOME TO ALL THE NEWBIES! IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU. JOIN IN THE…

Hello ladies - I've been MIA since Friday and have just now caught up with the May posts. Didn't I say I would not do that again!?! Janet, I need another one of your cyber kicks! Life has been a little challenging lately and I have not handled my choices well. Left cell phone out in a thunderstorm. No amount of rice would…

Carol from NC - sounds like a wonderful adventure! Heather - Glad all went well with your hubby's surgery and you made fun use of the extra time. Mary - the new house sounds wonderful. I am trying to arrange with a friend to go to school to pick up an old cabinet I left with a teacher. I can use it in the garage. Well - we…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PIPSTER!

Pip - I hope you post a picture of those toes! BUT - you'd better not ride barefoot! I did when I was young and had some major big toe ouchies - usually at least one a summer. As soon as school was out I would kick off my shoes and the only time I wore any was for Sunday School or if I wanted to skate. In fact - I refused…

Only part way through the posts but I must stop and get ready for work. Mary - I think a better house is in your future. So sorry about the stress, though. Kim - You worked hard on that yard! Rori - ((HUGS)) Hope everyone has a good day. I'll catch you later! Toni

Good day all, Skipped my water class this morning and slept in. The a fellow who helps us around the house came to do some cleaning and yard work. He is such a good help. He worked in the warehouse of my husband's previous company and has been helping us off and on for about 15 years. He calls us his other momma and daddy.…

Hello everyone - I got the job at the Y. I'll work every Sunday 12:15 - 5:15 and every other Sat. (not sure of the shift hours for that day). I know most people don't want the weekend hours but for me it is perfect. Hubby always works and my kids are usually too darn busy to spend weekend time with me. DS works from home…
