Sylvia- glad to see you are back home. That goes a long way toward feeling better in my book! My surgery was 3 weeks ago today and I'm still puffed up. I thought it was not possibly still from the surgery, but my nurse friend at church said otherwise. Only a few of my slacks fit right now, which will be problematic if not…

We went to see Imitation Game this afternoon with friends, then went to Olive Garden for dinner - and brought half the dinner home for tomorrow. Dread the scale tomorrow from the sodium, but it was tasty! Really enjoyed the movie. Sylvia, hope you're soon back home. Debbie & Lisa, love your fighting spirit! Gail, metro ATL

I don’t know who posted about a baby with meningitis, but I saw another's comment about it. I had it at 9 months old. My older siblings remember the quarantine period for the household. They swear they don't hold it against me.... ;) Meg - I can picture the gathering crowd in the park! Oh, my…. Our dog likes to play a…

Oh, Meg – TA-DA!!!! I want to have a mortgage burning party when the our time comes ~ 5 years from now. I’m so happy for you! Sorry about the knee situation. Waiting for a handyman service to come by and quote on a few things here at the house. Might as well make use of my time at home so I can be here to supervise.…

Pipcd34 – I don’t post a lot or collect a lot of official ‘friends’ either. Having said that, I really only read/post here, so consider all who lurk/post my friends. I’ll admit I’m terrible at keeping up with those patient individuals who are official, but generally follow along on this thread. Jane Martin – great idea…

Michele, I'm doing the third needlepoint Christmas stocking -- did the ones for DS#1 and his sweetheart before the holiday and now doing the one for DS#2 for the coming Christmas. After that I'm think I'm going to knit a couple of chemo caps for my sister with BC. One of the patterns uses FIZZ eyelash yarn that is kind of…

Hello to all of you -- I'm happy to say I'm feeling terrific after my 'overhaul' and 'suspension job' surgery. ;) Not really in any pain, so I can see it will be difficult to stay within my restrictions. I am doing some needlework and short spurts of walking around the house, while still trying to behave and get plenty of…

Kim in CA - good for you on the meet up group. Eventually I realized there were a number of 'friends' that really weren't and finally let them go. Two friends are really my sisters-from-other-mothers and we know we can count on each other no matter what. What a joy that is! (And plenty to keep up with, too!) I hope all…

Checking in again - later than I'd like, but oy! the work! Tomorrow the boss and I are going to go over the remaining list to prioritize and hopefully, some things can wait until I'm back from my leave. Everyone in the US/Canada seems to be in the cold. Grateful for an indoor occupation and a good heating unit! Gail, metro…

Hello, all - caught up again on the posts. Was at work all day and did not hear the news about Paris until driving home. What is the world coming to? I don't understand, so will pray, trusting that God is sovreign. DH has a birthday this weekend -- a family dinner is planned, along with the final family Christmas. Need to…

Barbara, the SW Idaho AHMOD – nice to see you! I’m a recent returnee... Carol – perhaps a little ‘return disappointment’ is in order if the expectations are all one-sided. Did I tell ya’ll about changing the locks on our house when our youngest son thought all should be in his favor? He was surprised! ;) OK – all caught up…

I like the new beginning of a new year as well. All caught up on posts again. Today has been busy - went to church, had lunch with DH and did some returns/exchanges before going for a couple of items at the store. Also took down the last of Christmas and started laundry. Still have to update the checkbook and do a few…

Busy day at work - I seem to be swimming in invoicing! Gail, metro ATL

Evening all and Happy New Year! Spent New Year's Eve and today with a good friend -- her house last night and she came to have dinner with DH and I tonight. Dogs traveled with both ways - her little pooch has gone blind in recent months and gets anxious, mine went with me as DH was out and about and I knew there would be…

Caught up again and am off to work. Hope everyone has their favorite celebration, whatever that is! Gail, metro ATL

Tapping back into the thread here at the end of December so I can find January's posts. If I can't check in each day it is hard to catch up! Time has gotten away from me again and I need to get back to logging and checking in to get back on track. Many things going on in the background that I've let be my excuse for lazy…

For those of you wanting larger print, have you tried holding down the control key and scrolling the wheel on the mouse up? Thanks to all for the thoughts on my nephew's health. He may now have gone to the rehab place. His doc said he was in denial about the severity of this as DN told the doc he expected to be back at…

Sad family news this week - one of my nephews is diabetic and has had complications with his circulation. They amputated part of his right foot this week and are waiting for some sort of test result on the bone tissue to see if they will take more. He is in his early 50s. - hope ya'll have a great week!

Just spent 3 days getting rid of malware and a virus from when I first accessed the forum after the format change. Sheesh! I don't know that I'll go back and read all, but hope to keep up again going forward. Gardengail, metro ATL

Yikes... finally! I'll have to work at the new formats! Hope all is well for all you gals. Had sad news that my oldest nephew, early 50's, today is having his right foot amputated due to complications with his diabetes. So horrible for him. I've been lurking, but reading. Gail, metro ATL

bumping in again... I've been reading to keep up. Making myself leave my desk at lunch and go walk at the Y for 30-45 minutes and have lifted weights again a couple of times. Tomorrow is choir after work, so weights will have to be Thursday after work. Nice house, Carol! Gail, metro ATL

bumping in again.... Work is busy as usual, saw the dentist for a 6-month check up this week, a friend came over to sew yesterday and today was church, some garage cleaning :noway: and a small fence repair. Now I need to shower off the sweat and cobwebs. I'm with Meg in the discouraged arena - also very unmotivated these…
