Barbie - I'm pretty sure you need to make videos - yoga with poodles and computing with cats!!!!!!!! That's always a problem for me - whenevery i try to work out at home it's workout with weiner dog!

Sandy - be careful exercising while fasting! I'm SO sorry about your step son - i know from experience what that feels like - for his wife.

Barbie said it - we all love you and support you!:heart: Did anyone ever check out Katie Spotz????? She's my new hero - she's raising…

Birdie - i think sometimes people tell us to not lose anymore weight because they are not successful at something THEY want to do. YOU know best how you feel, how you look and how much weight you want to lose. The ONLY thing you can control is your reaction to other people's meanness, ignorance or whatever the case may be.…

Barb - you crack me up! Which is a good thing as long as i don't move my head around too much:laugh: Unfortunately MY tipping exercise doesn't involve any michelob, or corona, or anything else that's much fun:drinker: :drinker: !

Good morning everyone! Gayla and Marie - thank you for help with the whole sourdough thing. I made the starter and left it out for 5 days like the recipe said. The bread was good - it just wasn't "sour" enough for me. So i'm leaving the starter out on the counter again for a few days - see if that helps...........i've…

Marie - I sure hope Bruce and his family make it home before they run into bad weather. So here's my question about the sourdough - it's not sour enough. When i made the starter i left it out for 5 days and then put it in the fridge. So now i've left it out of the fridge again - do you think that's the right thing to…

Sandy - congratulations!!!!!!! To Bryanna on the competition and for finding your credit card! Even though you cancelled it, still has to be a relief! Safe flight home!
