Ladies, thank you for your concern. I was put into a medically induced coma because of a really bad asthma attack that resulted in total respiratory and kidney failure. I went in on Christmas Day. They woke me up around the end of January. Because of the many steroids and other mind-altering drugs they used while I was…

Hey Ladies! I haven't been as active here as I was in previous years. It means so much to come here and see old friends. As you may remember I started this year in an induced coma in January and February. Then an aggressive fight to not be wheelchair bound. When I left the hospital I had a renewed heart and mind. After…

Hey Pals! I've missed you! Tere in Chester VA

Happy Monday Pals! Tere in Chester VA

Hey Ladies! Made a few minutes for me and used it for a facial and try to catch up with y'all. Rafiq's surgery went well. He is trying to walk as much as possible. I think he is doing too much. I remain exhausted mostly from taking on the household tasks he typically did. However, this too shall pass. Tere in Chester VA

Hey Ladies! I am exhausted! Rafiq had his knee replacement surgery yesterday and was discharged this afternoon. He says this is the worst experience in his entire life! The surgery went well but he is in a lot of pain. Then he got anxious that he wasn't going to get discharged today which caused his blood pressure to shoot…

Hey Ladies! :) Kim: Oh yeah Rafiq will be up and walking day two! My mother (the retired stern nurse) may need to come and stay if he doesn’t cooperate! Seriously though, he truly has been fortunate to keep his body in great condition. The knee issues stem from him being a tree surgeon with lots of climbing. The pressure…

Hey Ladies! :) Katla: Remember that every scale is different. We have a bathroom scale that weighs 2 more pounds than the Wii Fitness Scale. Of course I use the Wii Scale for my official weigh-in. Lisa: Hope you and DH are on the way to recovery soonest! o:) Carla: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D Machka: Take time to definitely enjoy…

Hey Ladies! Thanks for all the welcome backs! The last year or two were just a little rocky and full for me. I don’t know that I can tell it all in one setting so I’ll just try to tell you some standout things little by little. My Fitness Pal gave me an award today for being on here so long nobody can remember how long…

I'll be 65 this summer. I'll join you in a challenge to loose 25 pounds by June 16th? 🙃 Last year I lost 40 pounds. I need to drop 30 more. Right now I'm at a plateau so I'm committing to 2500 steps each day, 30 minutes of exercise and 30 minutes walking the dog. What's your plan?

Hey Pals! I am so happy to see you are still here. I've been away from the thread for a little over a year but looking forward to catching up. Tere (Chester, VA)🤩

Hey Pals! Happy May 2020! As usual I am skimming through to see what you guys have been up to. My transition to working from home and social distancing has been rather interesting. 1. I am happy to save money on automotive expenses like gas and road tolls. I am still paying $90 a month for parking downtown so I won’t lose…

Hey Pals! Just wanted to stop by....Life has been crazy for me. Working from home everyday is intense. We have a lot of critical contracts in the works. I think my work week is about 55 hours a week now. We have lost 2 family members and 1 family friend this month. We remain mentally and physically heathy so I'm not…

OMG! Today was my grocery pickup day from Kroger. I went ten minutes early and then had to sit in my car and wait for a little over an hour! :s What a bummer and I didn’t get everything I put on my list. However they did take $30 off my bill for waiting. ;) Lisa: No Yeast…..I”ll be looking for some tomorrow! I hope you had…

Hey Pals! DH was fussing with me because he believes I spend too much time sitting at the computer. He wants me to take time to go outside and walk the dog or just walk. It just so happened that today Amazon delivered an extra tough dog toy for Blue. I actually had fun throwing it for him. He was tuckered out. We haven’t…

Lisa: Thanks for the homemade bread recipe. I’m hoping to get some yeast on Friday (fingers crossed). <3 Karen: It feels so good to know that I have a Pal so close to me. <3 <3 I live in North Chesterfield right off of Providence Road. The Canterbury Rehab situation makes me sad. How awful to be leaving this world without…

Happy April 1st. Thanks Barb for starting our month. I am happy to report that I lost 2 pounds last month. My goal for this month is to lose 2 more. Long, long day today. Teleworking is good but I have learned how much energy I get from my coworkers. A family friend passed away. He was such a good guy. He had retired from…

Well today Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina governors' issued "Stay Home" orders. Although COVID-19 is the first topic discussed in any situation, I think it really became "real" to lots of people. Virginia's order is in place until June 10th. I have a sister living in Silver Spring MD, she did not know their…

Lisa: DH is a 71year old Marine. I am thankful that he always stayed in great shape. (He was some kind of pretty at 55) After rolling out the bed this morning and reporting to work at 4 am he went and helped his son cut down some trees (3 I think) and came home with a load of brush on the back of the pickup. He remains my…

I’ve missed the last week…..Lots of posts to catch up on….Sending best wishes and prayers to all… My biopsy: I have a genetic skin condition called lichen planus. I have two types of topical cream with cortisteroids. The doctor gave me a shot of prednisone to help with the itching which it did to a degree. The bottom line…

Bummer: We have been encouraged to increase our tele-work day schedules, but not directed to work from home totally yet. :/ Corona Impact: We cancelled out our trip to Virginia Beach for next week. We decided to have some friends join us at a local restaurant for dinner Wednesday to celebrate DH’s 71st birthday. Now I’m…

The Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia just declared a State of Emergency. So after tomorrow, we will be teleworking!

Carol: The truck did stop. More importantly DH manages to contain his temper. >:) Debbie: Prayers for your boss going forth. o:) Flea: Glad for the flexibility; hopefully things will calm down in a couple of months. Amber: You made a great point about the differences in incubation periods. With all the hype I’ve been…

Katla: Love the rice crackers for breading the chicken. I intend to try this soon. Lanette: Yes, a gift shop was a dream. The retail market has changed so much that I needed to give that further consideration. Now people just go to their favorite online retailer and point and click or just give gift cards. Do you remember…

After almost scratching all the skin from my feet, legs, and thighs I went to the cosmetologist yesterday. She believes I have Nummular Eczema. My body look awful just covered with these dark scabs! She ended up doing a biopsy resulting in a couple of stitches. They should have the test back early next week. In the…

Good Morning Everyone! How about that...I was able to make it through all the pages this morning! <3 Goal for March 2020: To remember to have balance in all things including food intake. I really would like to drop 4 pounds from my frame. ;) Heather: Sorry about your cruise worries. :'( Hoping it all works out. I worry…

OMG! I thought I would try to check in once a week but tha's not going to work! You are some busy women! Made through as many pages as I could but missed a lot. Michele now in FL – I was really looking forward to making that grapefruit pie but my mother told me that she cannot have any form of grapefruit because it…

Just stopping by! Y'all are some busy people! Couldn't get totally caught up! Michele now in FL – I was so intrigued by your mention of a grapefruit pie that I had to find a recipe to see what it was. Now I’m planning to make one to take to my mom. I think she will love it. :) Lisa – Loved your spoiler reframes! Reframes…

Hello All! Just popping by! I've missed you all! I'm working full time again. I was blessed to fall into a position doing what I love with a twist, with a wonderful manager, and outstanding team mates. I've managed to get back on the wagon with weight loss and healthy eating. DH and I are doing a low carb diet now. We are…
