Allie – It’s about time that Tom sees you having fun. Keep it up, girl! Leave his grouchy @$$ at home and go wherever you want to go. Maybe you need to be the one going to FL all the time, not Tom. HeHeHeHe!!!!! Sherry – I think the same thing about “Cracker” … she is a mess! I guess it can be very overwhelming for a…

Nikki and TresaAswegan - I don't know how much she weighs, don't know how many times she works out a week, or how long, and, I don't know how much she wants or needs to lose so that her BMI will be in a 'normal' range for her. Discussing weight is a very 'touchy' subject. She is really short at 5'-nothing (as she puts it),…

Marcelyn – I don’t remember how many words I typed on a manual; but, I was pretty fast; only the seniors or ones who had taken (or were in the 3rd year) got to type on the few electric ones we had in school. I sat next to the last row with 2 guys behind me. The teacher would get really upset if you ‘zipped’ out the paper;…

How many calories per day should a 5'0" 20-year-old take in to lose weight? She said that her 'trainer' told her 1500. Personally, I think that is way too many (if she wants to lose the weight she has gained since being in college). She doesn't want to starve herself like she admits doing in HS. Buying healthy food to cook…

Ann262 – It ‘hurt’ me a lot more than it hurt her. When my boys were little and still in Huggies and would do something they should not have done; I’d cup my hand and pop them on the butt. With all that plastic, it sounded a whole lot worse than it was. It scared them more than anything. But, I never used my hand to punish…

Barbie – Fasting is not good for anyone. My mother was a teacher and she could tell which kids ate breakfast and which ones did not. Breakfast … “Break Fast”. Eight to ten hours at night (sometimes long after your supper has ‘gone down’ can be a long time for most people. Even now, I always eat ‘something’ as breakfast. If…

Klanders30 – Actually it is to my chair in the den, with one of my protein bars. Yes, it is the epitome of happiness. I am missing that this week; but, he is off having fun with our 2 grown ‘boys’. Rita – Yes, I agree – thank goodness for insurance. I feel for you; I had 4 UTI in 2 months; without one maybe 2 days at the…

Sherry – That’s GREAT news! Keep it up, you are certainly doing something right that is working for you. Great NSV for quitting smoking! You will feel stronger as you lose weight. I’ve lost 40lbs so far. Not long ago, I tried picking up a 40lb bag of potting soil and could NOT do it. And when I thought about my having been…

Becca – Love the Advent Apron. Hopefully, you won’t get stuck. Maybe get some of those tiny little gold safety pins. I remember making these little faces with my boys, out of hose that I had a run in. I don’t know what we did with them. I’m sure during one of the several moves we made, they got chunked. Joyce – Saying my…

Sherry - Most grocery stores will split packages or cut meat in an amount you want. At Thanksgiving, a 1/2 ham, was too small; whole ham too large; so I asked if they'd cut about 2/3rd or 3/4th of it so I could have one that was the right size for my family over the weekend. Doesn't sound like you have very much…

Gloria - I like you kitty doing hula hooping. I need to get started doing mine. Lost my post I was doing; MFP froze up on me again. RANT! Several hundred motorcyclist in the K-Mart parking lot. I was going into the store, when I heard a big one rev up his motor and came riding through the lane in front of the store, easily…

TNToni – My mother was in the DAR and traced her roots all the way back to the Mayflower; she wanted so badly for the 3 of us to take an interest and be involved that she paid for a membership for us one Christmas. None of us cared. But, the sad thing is that she probably locked the bars into the same buffet where she’d…

Joyce – Glad you are feeling better. Isn’t that just the luck, you call and make appointment with MD and then feel better the day you are supposed to see them. Unfortunately, if you don’t get the medicine and have to call her back on Monday … you are painting a picture that might cost you more. Well, let’s change that…

Sherry – Cute kitty. We had one once pretty much like her. Our DYS wanted a 'kitten'. Go figure! As for the satellite dish company, they should have called; but, one thing you might consider is their vehicle is much heavier than your car; and because of that, they sink down into the layers of snow and muck and when they…

Verna – I will tell you what my DOGD tells her step-mom; “You did not put the weight on overnight; it won’t come off overnight.” Losing it slowly is the best way to help you in doing so without getting to your goal and then gaining it all back and then some. My DDnL#1 has at least 100lbs to lose and she is considered tall…

Karen – A good Gastroenterologist will make sure you are in ‘la-la’ land before he starts. I had my 2nd one, in my life a couple of years ago. Friend took me and stayed. Once they got me back, completed in less than 20 minutes. Better safe than sorry. I’ve heard that colon cancer is a bad way to die, and quite painful.…

Michele – I wouldn’t say that our local Mellow Mushroom is all that loud, even compared to other restaurants we go to. Maybe more so in the bar section. It tends to be a draw to younger people and the music waifs from out of it a lot. We are still able to talk to one another, without having to ‘scream’ at one another.…

Katla – My Mother made a beautiful tree skirt, cross stiched, about 5’ in diameter with the 12 days of Christmas … she had a lot more patience than I did. Thankfully I got it when she passed away. Heather – I miss my “Kissy Kat” from when I was in HS; but, Tux, is a funny cat. He is an outside cat, will bring a variety of…

Pip – My aunt (by marriage) had an Indian head and would plant “Mother in Law Tongue” in it and it would look like feathers. They stood straight up and were two-toned plants with slightly spiraled leaves. I found one, but, it was way more than I could afford to pay at the time. They had a lady’s head at the plant store…

Quilters – At our local Hobby Lobby, there is a woman who teaches a class on quilting; basically the student puts together the pieces; and, then she takes them home, where she has a quilting machine that stitches patterns on them. They don’t make very big quilts; but, at the Heritage Foundation they also have classes and…

Cheri – Yeah, right … and people who live in the “North” don’t need A/C; wonder how that worked for them this year. LOL! My MGD has a pair of fleece lined boot; I WANT A PAIR NOW! Some fleece-lined CROCS would make a ‘wonderful’ Christmas present from someone; but, nobody has asked what I’d like to have. Maybe I have been…

Barbiecat and Sherry – My DH and I used to live in Albany, GA; and moved when I retired on a disability out into the country in the next county. I had fought him tooth and nail about moving into the country, I had always live ‘in town’; but, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it out here. Even though I am at home all day by myself. It is…

Sherry – I think all of us are glad that you were able to move to a much nicer, friendlier RV setting which sounds lovely. Whenever you feel low, let us know and you will have a ring of {{{{{hugs}}}}} surrounding you and praying for you. All were concerned about you with the comment of “drinking the Kool-Aid. Happy that…

Michele – We also lived in a new neighborhood where all were fairly young married w/small children within about a 3 of 4 year range in age. We all shared a babysitter; and we’d each pay her whatever her hourly rate was. She made good money, too. Great babysitter. Never played favorites and whenever someone moved into the…

Michelle – No we never got caught. We were adults and talking about it once we were all at parents’ house; this was when my Dad was still alive; and, oldest sister asked why they let us to some of the things we did. Daddy laughed and said he was happy we did not fall and break our necks. Mother was not as pleased. Said ‘I…

Karen in Virginia – I went back on FB, mainly to be able to see pictures of my DGDs. DDnL#2 does not have too many pictures posted on FB and so few of her daughter, who she tries to protect. We called to wish DGD#4 “Happy Birthday”; but, she was with her daddy. We’ll call back this weekend when she is home with her Mama.…
