Hi Kim, I do have a good peanut butter fudge recipe from my daughters teacher. The kids absolutely loved it! 2 Sticks Margarine 3 C Sugar 5 oz Can Evaporated Milk Mix ingredients in saucepan. Bring to boil, continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add: 7 oz Jar Marshmallow Cream 2/3 C Peanut…

Hi JanetM, I hope you have a nice view from your 21st floor window. Thank you for sharing your stories. What a fascinating profession you've chosen. Of course, as with any profession, I'm sure it has it's ups and downs. Do you have a specific subject matter that you prefer to cover? If you don't mind my asking, how long…

Hi Kim, I'm glad you were able to get out of the bad situation. Don't discount what you did, even if you had some of the necessary tools, I know how hard it is and how strong you have to have been to do it. I search using the little magnifying glass at either the top or the bottom of the page containing the threads. I just…

Hi Barbie, I really have learned a great deal from chiropractors. Overall, I believe they prefer a natural approach to healing and maintaining the body. I have been tempted to try cleansing the colon. You certainly had wonderful success with the product. Not discounting the research you did on eating healthy and…

Hi Michele in NC, Forgive my late reply. To be honest, I didn't realize I could find things that were written to me until I searched my name today :'( I am learning more every day. South Fork is just outside Johnstown. We are the home to the Johnstown National Flood Memorial. This is a coal mining area. Of course, so much…

Hello JanetM, I gave up watches some time ago. Everything I did required me to be somewhere at a certain time and I wanted to live a bit more stress free. I could carry my phone, aka my timepiece, and use the stop watch on it. You are more than welcome to call on me regarding the price of sugar. The owner of the candy shop…

Sylvia, I am so happy to hear that the sun is shining in Kansas! What a big state. I drove across it 4 yrs ago and I thought it would never end. Have you lived there all your life? Sondre South Fork, PA[/quote] No, I lived here till high school, then we moved to California. After HS I went in the Air Force and my family…

Thank you for sharing. I know exactly where you are coming from. I am so much better off and so are you!! sondre South Fork, PA

I am so glad you said that. The thought was going through my head but, I am cautious to speak my mind as I don't want to offend anyone. Sometimes He closes a window and opens a door. It is truly hard to let go and let God. Believe me, I know. After being married for 22 years, I had to take my two children (12 and 13) and…

Hi TNToni, Thank you for putting my thoughts into words. I am reading as fast and as long as I can....BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO CATCH UP EITHER!! This is an awesome group of girls...so glad to be here. I took on a second job, as candy dipping is full-time only from Sept through Easter. I am providing care to a lovely 92 year old…

So sorry to hear what happened. I am the same way when it comes to getting scolded...or fearful of being fired. It is sad that people around the office have nothing better to talk about. Why can't people be kind, understanding and care for others unconditionally? Surely that is what they would want if in your shoes. Life…

Great success Mia....five days!!! Keep coming back. Sondre, South Fork, PA

Welcome mimarg! I am so glad you joined the group. The girls here are so very nice and supportive! You have lost a whole 15 pounds!! that is AWESOME!! Congrats!! I am losing slowly as well. But, I must say, I agree with your take....to accomplish my daily goals is rewarding and I am feeling much more healthy. My body is…

Hello Heather, I enjoy your posts! The dinner you had sounds absolutely delicious. So great that you were able to stay within calories ;) Congratulations on LIVING your life. It makes total sense to me to enjoy this moment, the next, and the next for as long as we have them. Sondre, South Fork, PA

Hi Jules, I think a massage sounds great!! So happy for your 10 pound loss!! That is so awesome. Just think about how much ten pounds is....like two five pound sacks of flour. Tomorrow is my weigh in and I am hoping for a loss. Fingers crossed!! Sondre, South Fork, PA

Hi Beth! I can totally relate to the yard plants. This is my first spring in my first owned home. The yard is a fair size, takes a couple of hours to mow (bagging the grass). I have been putting in perennials, only to shred them when weed eating

Hi! I appreciate the understanding you've shown for my employ. It is a daily struggle to keep the chocolate away from my mouth. I suppose it is helping me to become a stronger individual...,

Hi Jules. I am new here. What a lovely group of ladies! I am sorry that your husband has cancer and all of the crap that goes with it. I pray that it will level out. How awesome to hear of his great strength. No doubt, you have great strength as well. Big birthday coming up...when is it? Mine is the 13th. I'll be 55. I am…

Oh Lisa....thanks for the stolen quote. It hit me right between the eyes!! I hope you have a wonderful time at your nieces graduation. How nice for you to be spending time with your sister, too! Safe travel! Sondre, SF, PA

Good evening Janet, so nice to hear from you

at the end and it will be right Cynthia :flowerforyou:[/quote] Thanks Cynthia! Learning more every day! Hope you have a wonderful week

I have felt that way so many times. My motivation is reflective of what is going on in my life at the time. I have read some very helpful thoughts on this site, though. Don't beat yourself up. You will succeed....when you are ready

Hi Beth! I have not written/placed in visible place my goals...all pretty new to me. I'm glad you made a point of it. Sounds like a good idea. I hope to make a point of doing it in the morning. Best success to you! Sondre, South Fork, PA

Welcome!! I just started with this group last week. I, too, have been feeling lonely and was looking for a way to feel connected. I do the most logging from my phone. Don't have Fitbit, although many girls here do. I wish you the best on your journey!

Good evening ladies! Long day, quite exhausted. I do love reading these posts, unfortunately I will have to wait until tomorrow

Hi Joyce, Love the choir story. Glad you could replace your glasses for only $6

Thanks for the warm welcome Barbie! How did you arrive at your current eating plan? Sondre South Fork,PA

Thanks for the welcome! What a nice group of ladies

Oh Kim, How right you are!! Gained 5 lbs my first month there. Just hit my sixth year, and the darn stuff tastes as good as it did on day one
