Ha! OH NO!!! I'll have to stop posting so much here and move over to my highly private fb account where no one knows me at all!

Sam, tru dat! I don't want to get complacent. Well, maybe sometimes. :smiley: Skip, the "ugh" surprises me ... you are an extrovert, I thought? I'd have thought you'd be super-excited for a gathering! Mary, your time with her sounds like SO MUCH FUN! I wish I could join you!

Hey! Check out our new cover pic up there! I like change! :) My schedule is all switched up this morning. Usually Thursdays are kinda quiet, and then I do my WW meeting at noon and Bible study at 7. But, this morning I'm taking Dgd to school and then doing my facetime meeting with my bff (that's usually a Monday and Friday…

Mary, let me know how you like the pistachio yogurt! I totally love it. Sam, it's the fowl version of the she-hen-rooster-haters club. They have bylaws and all. Skip, I'm praying now for your dfil. And how cool about the tickets! And on my daughter's 18th b-day, too! Enjoy! Long day for me today, but the meeting topic has…

Steve, my husband has been having exactly the OPPOSITE issue with running lately. He's been nauseated the past 2 weekends, and he's decided that his sodium is too low, which is quite dangerous. Both weekends have had long runs (11 or so miles at a time). This week he's working on drinking more electrolytes. That probably…

Time for that vasectomy, Dennis?

Good morning, all! **waves at Skip as he darts by** Sam, meal planning was last week's WW topic. Maybe Mary and Steph were inspired? I expect big losses at the scales this week for members! Planning really helps. That said, I ate pretty horribly last week, but not as bad as if I hadn't prepped. The scale doesn't seem to…

Why yes, Skip, it was! Betcha hadn't heard, right? I try to keep that kinda low-key. :smirk:

Kelly, you are allowed to be ... you're hurting. It's totally normal and I love you and am holding you in a special place in my heart as you walk this awful path. Lou, I don't like wings, but I like nachos. :) Seems like a no-brainer to me! Dh has a few drones, and he loves them! He hasn't had them out much over the…

Nice!

I'm with Cooper. :( And sending so many hugs and prayers to Kelly. My heart is broken with you! Prayers for your dfil, too, Skip. How did the kitty meeting go, Raine? I was going to say kitten meeting, but that has entirely different meaning on this board! Hee hee! Steph and Mary, have fun on your travels! Steve, I'm so…

Oh Kelly!! I am so sorry! You are all in my prayers right now. I'm shedding some tears for you!

Hope no one minds me taking over the thread title for the day .... I only get one each year, and I want to celebrate! :blush: Raine, that sign is AWESOME! He made that himself? It looks totally professional! I'm glad it's been nice in Baltimore for you, Mary! We were there once, and we thought it was beautiful. Skip, how's…

Stay warm, Lee! So nice to see you, Bob! I worry about you when you're not around. HUGS to you! So date night ended up at the mall last night. I know my husband loves me! Instead of watching basketball, he walked around for 2 hours with me, looking for wedding shoes and jewelry. And then, instead of buying those (cuz I…

Good morning, BBB! My WW group surprised me yesterday with an early b-day gift! They'd filled a bag with all kinds of little "punny" things, but the main gift was a wooden "L". On it, each person had signed their name and written a word that they'd use to describe me. I love it! They are so totally thoughtful! They…

Sam, how about a rousing game of Twister? With your yoga expertise, you're sure to win!!!

Wow! Great loss, Mary!!! You ROCK! Dd26 is down 17 as of yesterday ... I'm so proud of her! Cleansing of spirits, huh? Interesting, Skip. Perhaps they know something you don't? Ever hear "voices" in your head? Ha ha! Speaking of that, I woke up to a weird ringing in my left ear during the night. What's up with that? It was…

I just noticed that the dates on our threads for the past couple days have been off. I realized it because, according to our thread, yesterday was my birthday. :wink: But, in truth, today is my new Dsil's birthday. Happy birthday, Mitchell! I just flooded his fb page with happy birthday dog memes. He LOVES dogs. Busy day…

Good morning! I'm on a chat shift, but I have a moment now that I can check in here. As for the divisive stuff ... I truly believe that most people want pretty much the same things: to be happy, to be safe, to be free to live their lives, and for the same for others. We differ on HOW to make that happen, but I find it's…

Mary, try doing a Google image search. You can enter your picture (crop it to be just the picture you're looking for without any background stuff) and look that way. I've found lots of things (and people) that way!

I'm fighting off ANOTHER cold. Razzle frazzle!!! Do you have any idea how hard it is to lead worship when I have no voice? I stayed in bed last night from 5pm - 7am this morning, took lots of vitamins, drank tons of fluids, and STILL I have this. This is the 3rd one I've had this winter, after a decade of not getting sick.…

These are my groupies this morning. They follow me everywhere!

They look amazing and FUN! I want to look like that at 80, too!

Mary, the girls will be wearing head to toe rose gold sequins, and they guys are in navy tuxes. Flowers are mostly white, with some blush and a few splashes of burgundy. My dress is deep purple/wine. Her venue is an old victorian mansion, and it will be outdoors by a pretty pond that is circled by a low stone wall. The…

Lou, dipping sauces for KK? I'm intrigued! Please share!

Prayers for you for your surgery today, David! And gentle hugs, too! Stay safe in Houston, Steph. I'm glad you're all electrified again, Skip. I don't think we've ever lost power here ... that would suck. Steve, you sound like my Dh. He won't go to the doctor, either. It kinda drives me nuts, because he gets sick often. He…

Ha! I'm picturing all the fun we could have making tinfoil hats for Lee. I'm first! I'm first! :smiley: It's March 1, and it's supposed to snow here. Ugh. I think it's harder dealing with the snow after a few days of sunshine and warm temps. I get spoiled. But, luckily, it won't last ... the weekend looks to be pretty nice…

Oh! And it's the last day of February! Hallelujah, spring is coming!

All the talk about hearing aids reminds me of a really beautiful, poignant, poetic description in Ecclesiastes 12 about growing older. Lots and lots of meetings today. Did I tell you that Dd26 joined and has been coming to my meetings? As of last week, she was down 12. I'm so proud of her! She's really doing WELL! She was…

Steve, here's an idea for Connie. Sometime in my early 30's, my dh gave me the best gift I've ever gotten. He took this little notebook (it had a bee on the front making honey, because he says I'm his honey), and on each page, in various colors of pen, he wrote a different reason why he loves me. Some were romantic, some…
