Mary from Minnesota – I have not had a Coke or any other kind of soda in over a year-and-a-half. Don’t miss them and if Louis buys donuts, I factor that into my CI for the day. I sighed up for the challenge that starts on January 2, 2017; just not sure I can actually follow it, we'll see.

Gloria – I will have to check that out next time I go to town. Thanks! Lisa – Geez, I know about those crazy people about driving in the rain, seems to bring out the Dale Earnhardt in all of them, they drive faster, have no concept of braking distance and I hate looking up in my rearview mirror when I come to a stop,…

Joyce – When I got my ‘new’ C-pap machine and was not falling right to sleep I called and talked to the guy at the place I get mine, and he told me that it would automatically start off at #4 and the work its way up the # that it was set for. I told him it was NOT working for me. Spending 30 minutes wide awake and still…

Michele – That was a ‘snickery’ remark about height differences probably not making any difference in bed. Louis said, that he would have liked to have seen this couple I was talking about. If he was 6’4” … she could not have been even 4’8”. Looked like a picture we have of our DYS next to a really tall, retired…

Beth - I hope all turns out well for all of you. You've had a rough few weeks, it sounds like. Sitting in the ER for any length of time sort of 'suxs' ... worse if it is on a weekend night. I think my DH would rather have a lot of things done to him with pliers and hammers than to have to sit in the ER (whether he is the…

Allie - And "Karma is a B****, too!"

o:)

Nice picture of you, DH, and grandkids. How short are you and how tall is he? There used to be a car dealership, somewhere over near the expressway, the owner was well over 6', the wife was maybe not quite 5'. Doesn't seem quite that much of a difference between you and DH. LOL!

Allie - I thought y'all were already home. Now it makes sense of you 'packing' and 'him leaving'. Probably would be a 'secretary' or one in a 'pool of them'. Someone he would work will fairly often, whatever his job description, she might be one, too. A 'surprise' visit right about the time he comes back to office [let you…

Gloria – I’m sorry to hear your son has been in-and-out of the hospital; and, Heather, that you son suffers from depression and that he is employed. I know it is hard on everybody, probably more than it is for him. First-hand knowledge; but, prayers going up for all of you. Maybe by being there, they can get him on the…

I've also found that when I cannot 'cut & paste' it might be because someon else is posting at the same time, and maybe MFP is recording what they can fit on the bottom of the page; and, not accepting mine for some reason. I usually copy it back to my WPP and just wait a few minutes. Lenora

Michele - I tried connecting on FB, too, Nancy Lenora Andre - only got old posts when I looked, could not see any pictures. Beth - I've been getting all sorts of server errors on MFP. Another thing it won't let me do is 'cut and paste' or 'auto correct' spelling or show me the correct spelling. Some of the things my…

Michele - YEAH, you're back!!!! Can't wait to see the Christmas pictures. I'll be taking mine down, probably, tomorrow. When I was growing up my Mother would have them down and all packed up and in the closet under the stairs. DH's family would put their tree up late, like maybe Christmas Eve and leave it up through the…

Love and {{{{{hugs}}}}} to all of you who have been ill or going through personal upheavals in your lives. We'll be starting a 'new year' here shortly and may the New Year bring you a lot of joy and rest and calm down your lives and make it a lot better. You don't get a rainbow until the storms passes. That is a present…

B) Carol - Sunglasses to hide puffy eyes. They'll be more sensitive to the sun when you get out in it. <3

Allie - WTG, girl! MrsGLT - I agree. Charleen2 - That's good to have only gained 2lb from your lowest weigh-in. I go, tomorrow. At least I have done a little bit of exercise 'most' days. Making out my list of things I'd like, or like to have done ... so DH and I can nail down the things we'll do for one another in 2017.…

Alli - From the eyes of an paralegal; you 'might' have to actually pay your attorney up front; but ask that he 'pay' attorney's fees, so you will get your money back. Most attorneys will work with you for payments, but, won't get the decree taken until they've been paid in full. Our former DnL was paying her attorney by…

Allie - I agree with Margaret; go talk to an attorney, make sure he doesn't find a way to 'hide' assets. A know a young lady whose (no 'ex') was so underhanded that he started transferring assets out of his name to family members before he filed for a divorce. She had a child, that the entire time they were married, he…

My luck did change with the raffles ... at the Women's Retreat I went to back in early November - I won a prize all 3 days. A pair of earrings, a journal, and a necklace with a cross on it.

Lanette - I, too, went to WW (when their 'point' system was being used) and gaining more and more. When they changed the point system again; only more frustrating sitting in the group. The only time I won something was when they remembered to have a raffle. Generally, it is almost like my name's been removed before…

Barbie – I’m sorry you got dizzy when you got up, sorrier that you got dizzy and fell. Glad that your DH took you to ER. I was having dizzy spells (still have them on occasion); MD finally Rx’d a medication to take to make it go away. To be taken as soon as I feel it coming on. A lot has to do with changing positions. My…

Lois - WOW! A total transformation and your DH and granddaughters are wonderful looking, too! I am sure they are happy about the weight loss; but, quitting the smoking, drinking cokes, and nightly wine all will help your in so many ways. <3 I have found that last little bit to lose has been a lot harder than when I first…

Katla - Beautiful Camilla, we had a big tree of them outside our dining room bay window when I was growing up, also a big magnolia with the limbs that came down to the ground (with a tire swing). Over the course of the 14 years I lived at home, the Camilla grew from being just a small bush to being a tree that went up to…

Katla - I added the 'milk' ingredient 2x; but, ignore one statement about the milk, I had just added a few notes to he 2nd one. A gallon of milk probably was enough for the 5 of us since Madison did not eat any (in any shape, form, or fashion). I had just forgotten how the oysters shrunk once added to milk. Sorry! Since I…

Rosie – Thank you! I’m trying … but, I don’t expect for everybody to agree or believe it. Like they say, “You can’t make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. But, I never have intended on my remarks to be taken as ‘insulting’. That usually happens because you really do not have the entire story (until it is too…

Becca - You really have lost a lot of weight since the picture you use as your avatar was taken and now! Way to go, girl!!!!! I know you will have a great Christmas/New Year with all your sons at home. We had our traditional "Christmas Eve Oyster Stew" with lots of oysters [5 cups] ... still they said there were not…

Katla – I loved diagraming sentences … closest thing to me as ‘drawing’ in elementary school; as well as ‘cursive writing’. I don't think they teach either for very long in schools now-a-days. It helps one understand the parts of a sentence and also helps them understand (proper) grammar. Until a few years ago, my…

Carol - I am so sorry that your Mother passed away; but, like you said ... she is no longer 'in pain'. I know what your are feeling, we lost Mother right before Christmas as well. It's never easy; but, make it worse when it happens at this time of the year. Mary from Minnesota - Thanks for the {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Thanks for the…

Sherry – If you are still here … I did not mean to ‘insult’ you. I don’t know what you are going through, I was merely suggesting things to look at. There was NO way for any of us to know what you are truly going through. Please don’t leave this site because of things I have said. I already have some people on this site…

I guess maybe it's been good that I have not been involved with Dr. Who. BUT, I have known a 'few' like him (and the purported "angels").
