Pip – Another view of your rug; mine is exactly the same one. Great minds, and all that … good taste; whatever! Michele – A friend of mine made a ‘rice’ bag; that is about 2’ long and 5” in diameter; which I can put in the freezer or microwave. Not much to it, other than about 10lbs of uncooked rice. It’s cold; but, a…

I'm not able to donate blood. I also have a friend who has the rarest of bloods; I think it is AB- we found that out in chemistry when we had to figure out what blood type we were (or it might have been biology). We were in a 'lab' and I think the only lab in school was in Chemistry class.

Cheri - Sometimes I throw it in the trash and then Louis comes and throws wet coffee grounds on it. YUK; but, like buying a ‘new’ dish; don’t even know the name of the maker, what it was or anything. I get the yogurt parfaits at Publix and that fills me up for breakfast. My biggest problem with cheese is knowing when to…

Kelly – I count things made with water … coffee (and I count the sugar I put in it); coffee in and of itself doesn’t have any calories; although some say you can’t count it because it is a diuretic. I would think that tea (add if you put sugar in it) would also be counted, check the back of the box and see if it does.…

Michele – I’ve been cold (and ‘wet’ feeling) all day. I finally put on some monkey socks (individual toes covered); but, I should have gotten my ‘flamingo’ slippers out. Those are the warmest things that I can put on to get my feet warm. If my feet are cold and ‘wet’ feeling; I am miserable. Got to turn my mattress pad on,…

Katla – We’ve only had really heavy rains. Old neighborhood and two counties were struck by a ‘tornado’ or more … a fly over of some of the area shows that a lot of it was just ‘straight wind storms’ … trees all fell in one direction. Other places looked more like a tornado hit. I can’t say that I am particularly ‘warm’;…

Showing so much damage from the straight winds storm that hit the Albany, GA area (Dougherty County and Worth County) have not heard of any other counties. On WALB-TV 10. So many old live oak trees around town. Old mature pines snapped in various places. All falling in the same direction; a fly-over showed that it was not…

I just got off treadmill watching TV while I was doing it, instead of the clock.

Cheri in Texas – My OB/GYN realized that something was going on when my heartrate did not go back to normal after the birth of DYS; he sent me to an Endocrinologist, he ablated part of my thyroid gland. But, OB/GYN was the one to put me on the medication and watched it. I thought the Endocrinologist was so full of himself…

I had never heard of CaringBridge.com before; but, it made us all feel like we were all around my sister, BnL, and their girls. So many people tapped into the site for him. So many prayers. PRAYERS WORK!!!!!!

Jana in VA – My ‘minimum’ exercise is 15 minutes on the treadmill (which I hate ‘royally’). I prefer warm weather exercises … swimming and walking outside. While we do have nice days here in SW GA most of the time, it’s been awful the last few days. We had torrential rains for 2 days, making our dirt road difficult, at…
-
Mary – I only weigh every 2 weeks on a Tuesday, I do NOT weigh at home on our scales, they are not at all dependable and weigh ‘heavy’. Weighing daily would be a ‘negative thing’ for me and I’d be more likely to just ‘throw up my hands and quit’. I have no idea what color team I am on, I think not knowing what is expected…

Allie – You should not feel bad about going through a 2nd divorce. We’re 100% behind your choice and we will support you so that you can get into a situation where you feel appreciated. Tom certainly doesn’t. Just don’t give in, just because he is ‘supposedly’ acting nice. Remember what you have found out thus far. Lisa –…

Toni – My parents believed that ‘if’ you were not allowed to ‘occasionally face-plant yourself’ and get up and ‘learn a lesson’ … they were failures as parents. But, we were not given choices on some things; and, some things we did ... they had 'no clue' about. Thankfully we never got hurt doing some of the things. We had…
-
Pip – You are definitely a ‘machine’ … you run, ride, and swim circles around any of us (probably together); I just get ‘winded’ reading your daily posts about what you’ve already done that day. Does your mind ever take a rest from what kind of exercise you are going to do the next day? I wish I had ½ that much exercising…
-
Heather – I don’t feel 65; especially since losing 40lbs. I don’t have to have someone holding on to me when I walk. But, I do have to have someone pick up a 40lb bag of potting soil for me. But, that is a good thing. Got my hair cut; but, did not cover the gray because none of the men want me to do so. I’d probably look a…

Toni in TN – I am sure that a ‘frozen shoulder’ can be so for different reasons; mine definitely required Orthopedic surgery as the chip of bone was lodged between the socket and ball of my shoulder. Worst pain was reaching for something; and, it interfered with painting and drawing and that was what I wanted back the…
-
Mary from Minnesota – The first time I had a ‘frozen shoulder’ was right before I ended up going to the 2nd Orthopedic surgeon; because I could not lift my arm. I went to GP and was seen by Orthopedist that day, had 2nd opinion and he x-rayed me in several different postitions than the first one. Was in the hospital…
-
Heather – While I was put on a low caloric diet; I am now eating more ‘regularly prepared food’ for my meals. I have been since I started; just was replacing some with a protein shake and/or protein bar. I would not have done this on my own. I get weighed in every 2 weeks, on a scale that measures fat and muscle % … as…
-
Charleen – I know why you were hiding the flamingo umbrella; you were either going to keep it or send it to me since I am ‘so nice’. LOL! Where did you buy it? Mary – Thank you, I’ll do that … I’ll look for it. I remember seeing her email address; maybe I did not look far enough down. Carey – I went to the “Convenient…
-
Mary from Minnesota – Thanks for the links; I have emailed Tiffany; one of these websites said that it, basically could not open, error message. The other one went to a page basically stating that it was fun. I know I got a ‘confirmation email’ about it and I thought I was in. ????? Michele – Either way, cat or dog, sorry…

I don't make New Year's Resolutions ... I'm gonna break 90% of them anyway.

Michele - I'm sorry he has seizures. Is there any other type of seizure meds that would work for dogs? I know I got something by email that talked about what 'human' meds could be used on pets. I think I got it from my granddaughter, Taylor ... or it was on FB (maybe). Benadryl, Pepto Bismol. ... several other things. Wish…

Happy New Year! My last post was right at the cut-off, so it is in December's page. Oh well. Maybe some of you are like I am, I go back and read the ones that still show up in the previous month. I've got something scratching my left eyeball for the 2nd night in a row! I want to pop it out, rinse it off and pluck it back…
-
Mary - I followed these links; but, I am not seeing anything that lets me know that I am 'in'. Sent a PM to Tiffany, so maybe she'll answer in the morning.

[color-red]Donna – Welcome. When you have a good bit of weight to lose; you are much more likely to succeed if you break it down in smaller goals and not the total (which can be daunting). Measuring and/or weighing everything that passes your lips (even tasting while cooking) is also very important. We don’t always realize…

Michele – One thing that might be interfering is ‘if’ someone has a cellphone on; it might be stronger than laptop on Wi-Fi. One reason I say that is when Will and Tami had their ‘run-through’ of the wedding the night before the ‘music’ they were going to have played (off a cellphone) worked; the day of the wedding, having…

This is my current pix at 160lbs, down from 200lbs. I'll try to find my one at my heaviest to post. Fifteen to twenty to go to goal. Lenora

RATS! - Typing along and hit something and 'poof' there went my responses. Guess that was a 'sign' for me. Usually is. HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody! Lenora

Mary from Minnesota - Just not sure what I am expecting ... :#
