DeeDee - my DH got a golf cart cover and propane heater for Christmas from Golfsmith. DrKatieBug - I have the Fitbit Zip and like it. ~$60. Seems very reliable and Fitbit has terrific customer service, should you need it. Gloria - I'm so sorry for the situation you're going through. Its never easy. When the hospice nurses…

Michele, you're in the south now....git you some 'duck' tape and fix your boot! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I'm in the 'it will melt' crowd these days. We shoveled so much snow over the years in the NY metro. The Y was closed Tuesday, Wednesday and today. Hopefully they manage to open on the weekend. Love going there on…

More snow falling on the ice in and around Atlanta tonight - looks pretty though! Gail, metro ATL

Good morning to all - and a shout out to Susan in St. Louis. One of my sisters lives about an hour east of there in southern IL. Getting a late start so off to fix breakfast and get to work. Gail, metro ATL

I haven't read the posts yet today, but wanted to share a link to some amazing pictures of snow art: http://wqad.com/2013/12/23/photos-man-makes-art-by-walking-in-snow/ He must have LL Bean boots! Gail, metro ATL

Bump and TGIF from Atlanta! Gail

Dr. Katie -- what a mental image I have now! Genie Bras don't do many gals any favors. It isn't surprising DH can't figure out how to help you get the bra on, since they spent so many years figuring how to get them OFF. :wink: If it is a back fastening bra, attach the hooks in front and then slide/turn the bra around and…

Tina, Dr. KatieBug and others under the weather – hope you’re better soon! Ice everywhere on the roads in Atlanta. Despite the resulting road conditions from yesterday’s weather I must go to work soon. The highways around Atlanta are terrible and a parking lot. Fortunately I can go over surface streets and avoid all that.…

Barbie – ask for your eye glass prescription, then view this link for some websites where you can get inexpensive glasses (http://www.clarkhoward.com/videos/clark-howard/health-health-care/cheap-eyeglasses/vHK/). Clark Howard is an Atlanta local consumer advocate and is also on TV, has published many books, etc. His…

Heather – when you go to NYC, if you want to go to the 9/11 Memorial, you can make reservations in advance online so you don’t have to take a chance waiting that day. Alison – I don’t share a computer, printer or office space w/DH anymore. It drove me c-r-a-z-y! He responds to all sorts of surveys, etc., and has an inbox…

Meg, oh, Meg, Of the limber, limber leg! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: My replacement Fitbit arrived today - hooray!

Another day gone! Busy at work and then I changed and went to Y only to discover they were closed today. wwaaa, wwaaa, wwaaa :ohwell: Came on home and was surprised to see DH's car in the driveway since he said he worked until 9p. Turns out he mis-remembered his schedule (instead of printing it out, ya know?) and appeared…

Welcome to all the new gals and hello to everyone else. DH's birthday party last night was a success and fun. We're both worn out today! The house is mostly back to pre-Christmas normal now. Laundry is making its way through the machines and I just caught up on the many pages here. It is almost 50 sunshine-y degrees, so I…

Alison - we have android smart phones - Samsung II, we bought from direct from Straight Talk. We also did the unlimited everything plan, month-to-month service from them for $45/mo. Now WM has even less expensive TracFone plans. After my vent I ended up going to bed extra early last to get over my grumpiness... Friday…

VENTING!!! WHAT do men do all day? Really!?! Huge list for tomorrow's party to be done and you can guess the rest. OK -- now that I'm home from my 10-hr day at the office I've got to get busy. BBL.....thanks for listening. Gail

Cynthia - Sorry about your bike, but please call your agent(s) for coverage of the stolen goods under your car insurance and also your homeowner's insurance. We had coverage under our homeowner's insurance when DH had items stolen from his car. The worst they can do is say no! Gail, metro ATL

Thinking of all of you taking care of family members -- take care of yourselves as well. Congrats to those of you with weight losses - always fun! Went to dinner with the kids to celebrate DH's birthday. I ordered a 'health nut' dish that was chicken, artichokes, mushroom and spinach in a lemony sauce with pasta. Now I…

I forgot to tell you yet another burst pipe story - this one in my office building. We moved to a different suite about 2 years ago, but Monday a pipe for the sprinkler system burst in the suite we used to be in. What a mess! A lot of tenants have been affected since it is on the second floor. The landlord was very quick…

Kay/PNW - go to http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00007 for info on de Quervain's Tendinosis. The website includes a write up and picture of the Finkelstein Test which is one of the markers. Your comment about lifting anything was also true for me - also certain hand/wrist positions like when you fasten your bra…

bumping in.... and caught up on posts and am actually commenting to some – circle the day in red!! Katla – my brace I’m wearing immobilizes my thumb and wrist, and goes halfway up my forearm. It is for treatment of de Quervain's syndrome – an inflammation of tendons in the thumb that extend to the wrist. Hardly a big deal…

bumping in to mark where I've read through -- what a chatty bunch, we are! Struggling to get back in any routine after the holidays, but today I left the office by 6:15p and walked for 1/2 hour. A small start back at it. The wrist brace is definitely cramping my activity and work function. Let's just say my typing is a bit…

Margaret - DH is part of the reason I kept the Senior Y [family] membership. Alas, he is the senior and, double alas, cannot be moved to go there!! It would do him a world of good, but there is always a reason. I have to do what I need to do, but I do like the Y's atmosphere and the tracking available. Michele - after 30…

No real recipe, Nadia - I brown the beef, saute onions, add low sodium beef broth, some red wine, worcestershire (sp?) sauce, garlic, ground pepper, etc., as you like, and let it cook down. For the creaminess I'll add either plain yogurt when I'm heating to serve, or low fat dip - just enough to get some creaminess. We put…

cwolfman13 -- mmmm, NM green chile stew. Hatch green and pork? We used to be able to get cans of Hatch chiles at the walmart here in GA, but no more. Sad, sad, sad day.....now we have to find another source or go back and visit NM again. (We grew up there.) We're having white chili with cornbread. Also made beef stroganoff…

Pages and pages to read -- congrats to those with pounds gone and other victories! My victory is that I am just the same, weight-wise. Still want to lose a bit more, but only for my own satisfaction. Friday I used my unexpected day off for doctor appointments. Had my bone density scan done in the morning, then in the…

Bump to come back later.... Gail, metro ATL
