Totally different from our lava cakes...no explosion :( Sounds wonderful.....and something I need to stay away from.

Sylvia, What an experience!! How very scary it must have been to have the van spin around like that. I am so glad you and the grandchildren are ok, as well as the people in the other car. I hope all goes well with getting your vehicle back or a new one. Sondre, SF, PA

Hi Pip, it is disappointing that the doc has no explanation for the pain you experienced. I haven't had a really good doctor in over 40 years. When I was a youngster my family went to the best doctor. He smoked a cigar and was gruff, but he could look at you and tell what was wrong. One in a million. Hope you are feeling…

Heather, your DGD is just lovely. How old is she? Sondre, SF, PA

Hi Mary, Just had to comment on the large candy bar. The chocolate I work with, hand dipping chocolates is my profession, comes in 10 pound blocks!! Talk about something to gnaw on. Curious, what are volcanoes? Sondre, SF, PA

I hope and pray for the best outcome for your daughter. How hard this must be for all of you. I can't imagine. God bless you. Sondre, SF, PA

I love them too. I used to read them before going to sleep. My kids would come over to my room wondering what was going on because I was laughing hysterically!! Grandma and Lula are two of my favorite charcaters. Sondre, SF, PA

Penny, The pictures are just beautiful. I would love to be standing there looking at the view. Sondre, South Fork, PA

Sylvia, Your Molly looks like a real sweetheart. I am a DOG LOVER. We have a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix. She is completely black and is the most loving dog I've ever had. When she sees water, look out! She is going in. Thanks for putting Molly's picture on. If I can figure out how to do it, I will put Ellie's picture…

Miriam, What an awesome house! It is just beautiful. I bet you had a lot of fun making it your own. Sondre, South Fork, PA

Hi Nancy, Thanks for sharing your weight gain story. I, too, was very slender. For me, the weight gain was pretty much gradual. At least, until the last 50 pounds or so. I have no good reason for having gained all of this weight, sometimes wish I did. All I know is, I can no longer eat what I want without gaining weight. I…

So Jen, What does kale taste like....it looks so stiff I can't imagine eating it uncooked. Sondre, SF, PA

Hi Cheryl, Glad you decided to join. I have found lots of support and many kind words here. I wish you the very best on your weight loss journey! BTW, where did you go on vacation? I assume the food was good :D Sondre, South Fork, PA

What a sweet little thing! Congrats on such a blessing!! Sondre, SF, PA

Hi Sassy aus! Thank you for the awesome picture of the city!! I love it. So different from where I live. I look forward to more pics in the future ; ) Sondre, SF, PA

Today I begin again. Due to some heavy stress in my life, I chose to eat many fat-filled foods recently. I felt really crappy afterwards. The hardest part of doing that was logging it :'( I felt embarrassed and ashamed. As if someone were going to judge me. That is so totally unimportant. What is important, I can see the…

Hi Carol, Wise decision to have surgery. I hope all goes well and you recover quickly! Gby. Sondre, SF, PA

Welcome! I have found this to be a nice group of caring women who are very supportive

Lisa, I am so impressed with the long term plans you have! You are bound to succeed! How wonderful

Hi Sassy, I'd love to see some views of where you live. If you have a chance, would you post a picture? Sondre, South Fork, PA

Hi Sylvia, I can totally relate to seeing myself differently than I actually am. Pictures often shock me. At this point I have about 50 lbs to lose. I like the idea of focusing on how you feel. I definitely feel better when eating healthy and moving more. Sondre, SF, PA

Hi Penny, Thank you for sharing the beauty around your holiday home! Oh my, how lovely it must be to have such a private place to spend time. It sounds as if your garden will be a source for delicious salads. The picture of the water and mountains is just beautiful! Enjoy!! Sondre, South Fork, PA

Wow!! Great deal. Thanks for the tip

Hi Chris, I appreciate the tips to make exercise more like "accomplishing something". I can see myself walking rather than driving. I love the elliptical idea.....now all I need is an elliptical

Oh Selena, I am so sorry. Please know that I am praying for you and your family. Sondre, SF, PA

Hi Sylvia, I feel so bad for your son! Oh my word, how scary it must be not to be able to breathe. If you don't mind my asking, what type of illness does he have. God be with him. I am very happy to hear that you were a regular woman (size wize) at the pool. I can't imagine how that would feel. I haven't felt comfortable…

Hello dear, So happy to hear you are earning some $ on the side. I am a bit behind in reading posts (who isn't) and was wondering what the status is with your job. I do hope all is well. Sondre, SF, PA

Sylvia, I admire your stick to it tiveness.....kids will persist in an attempt to wear us down. To be honest, I would have given in around the 15th time he asked. Sondre, SF, PA

Hi Barbie, Thank you for sharing. Basically, I need a good swift kick in the rear. I just don't want to exercise. I prefer doing something that has an outcome other than helping me become fit. For example, I love to work in my yard. There is so much that needs done and I feel great seeing the improvements. The thing about…

I appreciate your support! Thanks Terri :) Sondre, SF,PA
