Well things got worse today. Fridge repair called - no part - not til Monday - that means 12 days since it broke. LG - 6 yrs old - being told fridges only expected to last 7 to 10 years - baloney. Will call LG tomorrow to see if they can give us any compensation. Went to pick up my 2 doz pre ordered donuts - the clerk said…

Lesa - that's HUGE NEWS. Great for getting off insulin and halving the BP meds. Val - great losing! Roger - great walking! Newbie - sorry your name is on the last page - I haven't figured out how to go to last post read - I just go to last page and scroll on down. Day 4 in the fridgeless zone. Procrastinating on freshening…

Bad news on i tune cards - not good on apple products - only music, music sub, apps, movies or i books. 20% hit online if I sell them - that is if anyone wants $500 of those products. Really low energy day - trouble breathing. Gonna go read and maybe take a nap.

Roger - - actually tired of sitting by the computer!! rebuilding contacts is gonna be a project. Had a horrid coughing jag a6t 2 am - had to sleep rest of night sitting up on the couch, without my CPAP - solve 1 problem, create another. Talked to a few of my deep pocketed friends who may be able to help take these itune…

Wow Val - awesome on those steps! Unsure about longevity - will ask Thurs when I go back - also about J floaters and why it seems better than expected. Shells were an epic failure - DH and son both said not a fan. Step son will eat his tomorrow - he doesn't like chard either - so we'll see. Had to use regular diced…

Daisy Lee - finally took eyes off self and realized you're already at 20 pounds, despite a bad month. Yeah you - no easy feat - although NS does make it easier. So nice to grab, add some veggies, eat and be done - miss that part of the program. Making stuffed shells tonight with ricotta, parm, 1/2 c ham cubes, lb of swiss…

Daisy Lee - we too live on a slab and are a bit concerned we may also have a leak - weird spot on carpet by laundry room. My friend's house on the next street really had issues - started to look like earthquake damage - the sewer pipe under the house erroded lots of dirt finally working it's way under the garage - the…

Roger - aren't NSVs great - yeah on the t shirts. Dead end on getting the $ back - I agree Apple products are pricey - but I have enuf cards to buy a mac book and an ipad. Go figure - 2k is a lot of itunes! Will figure out outcome in the next few weeks - right now concentrating on healing - yet the problems keep on coming.…

Roger - thanks for the tip - good reminder. Isn't it amazing when you carry 10 pounds how much it impacts you? the wt gradually comes on so we don't notice it too much to begin with - but once it's gone - wow. Guess I'll be restricted as far as picking up over 8 pounds after surgery - trying to do one step at a time.…

Val - the J is gone today - now it's just a dot - prolly stress! Hopefully these things will go away along with the cataract. Haven't had time to try to figure out how to post pics here - but plan on doing so today or tomorrow - trying to put the scam drama behind us - we lied and told Dad we got our money back - he wanted…

sorry - the link didn't work for anyone except me. I'll try again tomorrow. Awful day here today - got pinched by a scam for 2k. Been involved with trying to sort that out since noon - right now I have a J floating in my right eye - go figure. If you get a call that your grandchild is in jail, has been in an accident, and…

Taken by Len Putz - check out his photos at www.lifelinesmedia.com. The blonde is my friend who…

Val - that sounds like shin splints to me - youch! Used to play softball in my 20s - experienced that pain then. Good on you being able to do that many stairs! You go girl. Roger - you're so inspirational with all your walking. Good on the coffee too. Watering back yard trees - mid 80s - little rain all month - looking…

Hi all - Roger - thanks for all your security tips - you really stay on top it seems. Today isn't going as planned. My CA friends arrived so late last night they stayed at the airport as they couldn't get a car til this morning. They went to the Rock hall on their own (no great loss to me) - ate at a famous corned beef…

Daisy - what a pain! I hate criminals and the mischief they make. Wish they'd get a more productive life - not by stealing ours. Val - wowza girl - way to go! You're looking fab. As for the cataracts - was told a while a go that I had them - don't remember when. When I lost right eye vision due to clot hitting it - eye guy…

Cataract surgery scheduled for Mon, Aug 24th. Looking forward to getting it done and moving on. Working on Family Tree - really feel off today - so not a great day to tackle details. Excited to find my step brother David, his wife Carol, their daughter Renee and their neice Ruthie on FB last night. Spent the $1 to send…

dh was surprised to see a turkey vulture feasting on squirrel roadkill on our street the other day. We also have a Cooper Hawk hanging in the neighborhood. Odd stuff - normally huge birds don't hang here. Dave said the vulture's wingspan was quite awesome. Saw eye surgeon today - new plan is right eye only, no premium…

lesa - excellent - healthy feels great - huh - plus saves $.

deer - yup - they're all over our area too. You wonder where they've been hiding all these years. So far this year they've left our garden and yard alone - well at least since Winter. I live near a freeway - honestly, it's amazing they're camping out around here. AC running good. Nice to be more normal. Out of cotton…

NS has good food, great concept, cute bears, horrid management for the most part. Never liked the wishy washy fuzzy info I got, especially on pricing. Really not fond of their business practices. Counselors were great. Too bad - cause it really works, but burns out customers if they can't get grounded. No way would I be…

Hi all - not cool here - Air still out, going on day 3. Way bigger problem than expected. Apparently we did have a leak 2 wks ago which the tech fixed. I was told when systems are installed in the winter they don't always braze well - I get that. This time it's a stuck piston like part. The hopeful fix was a chemical that…

nice jersey video! Had a lovely day with my friend Mitzie - went to lunch, had a refreshing glass of sangria and shrimp tacos. then drove the lake shore for a bit. Came home to an overly warm house - it's 73, thermostat is set at 71. They were here 2 wks ago when it turned out we had no refridgerant, and they're on their…

Happy BD Daisy Lee. Hope you make lots of great memories. try to stay close to program and get right back on if you don't. I'm wrong about HP - not an ink hog, just pricey ink. Did way more research today. The 3 printers I'm considering are all about 99 - but canon w ink is 139, HP w ink is 200 - it really is pricey. Also…

Another day of drama for me here in CLE. Had a low at 3 am - always a great way to start the day. Thought my minion Tom (jibitz) hopped off my Croc for an adventure across town. Totally bummed. Happy to find him hangin at hm in the den. Bank called this morning - really set me off - they are trying every angle for us to…

Val - the gout comment was meant for buttons, just didn't address her as I should have. Roger - so glad you're here - you're such a help with NS, computers and other things. Back to normal - DH has a killer headache so in quiet mode today. Chix marsala for dinner. Son should pop in anytime now to do his resume on demand.…

Gout - yeouch. Hope it clears up soon. Seems like you play you still pay - bummer. After all the drama last night, things went very smoothly today. Sugars went as low as 127, will be hooking up the pump in 15 min. The insulin pens are very easy to use as well as very accurate dosage wise. Will keep one long acting and gift…

Wow - what a day - not in a good way. So much for my do nothing day. Things went South at 5:15 pm. Went to cover a snack and my insulin pump went wacky, scrolling and scrolling - took out the insulin, then the battery. Put battery back in - pump dead - then got battery error and it started alarming - only thing to do was…

Pannus equals belly apron in my book. Makes sense as far as surgery tho. Don't know if it's possible to reduce, just pull in with spanx, not what you really want to do in this heat. Did the doc have any suggestions? Doin a whole lot of nothing today- learning to love it. High 80s here - hangin inside - chilling a…

hi all - gorgeous day in CLE - had another panic attack last night - dislike those! Keep on program - it's worth it.

Roger - thanks again for the printer issue. Tight corner - already have an all in one and the canon picture printer, a neat scanner, and a flatbed scanner that does slides, which is stashed on a very narrow shelf unless I need it - so as much as your info is spot on - prolly won't work for me. A monochrome laser would be…
