@beteaux - welcome , yes you'll get the support you're looking for here, and we'll answer questions alone the way too. @bjcfinn55 - you are sure welcome here - no screening policy on our part!! Please come back. @zoe - I was happy as well, to see you got to go out on the town with your family! But what an awful outcome the…

Spent a lot of time on the floor last nite - didn't plan on that - kinda stupid mistake on my part after one glass of wine with impromptu company and after they left - turned on TV and it shut right off. Turned on - it turned off. After 1/2 hour of this, and fiddling around I looked at plug and saw it was only 1/2 in - oh,…

@zcb - sorry you got so sick so fast - thats so hard to cough and stay still!Your situation may be what caused the sour throat and cough to progress so fast. I tell your doc or nurse about it right away, just in case. Also, I apologize, but I never hear a name or what to call you, like Zee or Horserider. Did you ever say?…

I gave up on the picture last night. So now, that's the church (Catholic) where I attended, and have been creeping back to now that I am aging up. The Christ on the Cross is somewhat famous for being one of the largest that shows Christ looking towards his Father (head skyward) rather than the more familiar "head down"…

OK gonna try this again:

This is the altar of my church I attended as I grew up: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwdFrBcTh-xJVG90WVJlUWZtd1RiNHNOS1JROTF6NVZuX213/view?usp=sharing

@zcb - here's a big smile headed your way - :) with your having to remain motionless, you can still squeeze muscles together to stimulate blood flow, I hope.... I've had to do that with my muscles when I've been in that situation. I've had 4 surgeries on my bum and just sitting on it breaks the skin down. We must have…

Welcome back Edna - don't be surprised I've thought of you often and hoped for your return, so you're my Christmas gift! Big Hugs {{{{Edna}}}}} I tried to post earlier today and was so proud of my effort. I wrote personals to each newbie on here who posted for the last several pages - esp. you @zcb because I think you have…

Hi Everybody! I'd have posted sooner but I had a repeat attack virus on the computer and sent it off to be properly repaired and I don't recommend the place I sent it to, because it sat there 3 days and was not fixed properly, then I was again dropped from I-net service for several days as we argued over my service…

@Laurie - I'm so glad you can relax a bit now that your big event is over!

@Tinkie - you've been very productive today -congrats on it all -beaurocracy has many layers to it so breaking through it to get them to trust you to get on the internet is GRAND WORK - so, would you be breaking any gov't privacy laws if you told us the Pinterest page?

@Tinkie - hi - welcome - I just a few pounds shy of what you do - and darn it - its my second go around - more on that later. I did enjoy how you like hitting your tally button on your calories for the day. Wait till you get to see a graph after a month or so, they are sooooo cool! So rewarding! :) @Barney -that was a well…

Susan - your man is so lucky to have you looking out for him. I didn't notice earlier the fact he'd had earlier heart surgery and that coughing had irritated this! If he'd been coughing really bad, does he practice coughing holding a pillow to his chest to protect that incision area? He always should do it any time he has…

@Morgori - I've wondered the last couple of years where this Kale frenzy got started - so thanks for the info. I hope Kale goes away, just my opinion of course, but its not my favorite thing. @Susan - I hate it when Dept. Heads fight dirty. It can get really bad! >:) stay low and out of the radar! You're doing a terrific…

@Lizmil - Liz welcome back - I sure do remember you. Glad you've got some time to pay attention to yourself. Sounds like your old situation - you were putting yourself on the back burner then as well. o:) Great that you have a chance now to get more fruits and veggies - if fresh are still too expensive, frozen are…

Hi - funny story - last night I read all the posts and as I started to post a reply I fell asleep with my finger on the letter P and woke to a string of p's so darn long I laughed and laughed and was so happy it didn't end up posted! @Newcomers -Welcome to each one of you. We are a super special discussion here because we…

@ChrisRendon - when I was in a chair for long stretches, on of my favorites exercises was to do butt squeezes while seated. I'd wear a little smile, and always wonder when someone would catch on - but no one ever did - or at least no one ever said anything! And, those exercises @Kah suggested are great! It is proven that…

@Newcomers - welcome to each and every one of you. The other have welcomed you with great individual advice so I don't have to repeat anything. I'll just add a bit of long-term encouragement. Don't be so gung-ho that a failure makes you want to quit, failures happen and you must laugh them off and share them here :) we…

Welcome to our newbies and returnies! So happy to see you again!

Yep- That's right, @CBlue -Lori is here with me. She is too kind - our afternoon turned out to be a chase from one CLOSED at 5pm location to another. I thought our Main Attractions would be open til 6 or 7pm on Saturday but, I was wrong. We did walk around our Old Market area and I showed her our ONE skyscraper that has a…

@DSnutz - interesting about the Beachbody diet - we have quite a distinquished lady on here named @Grandmakaye who is currently trying to lose her last -oh - 4 lbs to reach her 100 lb goal. She is remarkable and enjoys that diet. So glad your DH is involved as well. I've never heard of those video's before - they sound…

@Angelika - those big Rodeo's are full of dust and pollutants aren't they? I used to go here in Omaha, as well as other, not so big livestock events, but I couldn't handle the waste products I had to walk around. I loved it when I was a kid, and my dad was in the livestock business, but I guess that immunity wore off!.…
