  • Do you want congratulations or a ticket outta state?:noway: :wink: :laugh:
  • Sandy, I am glad Daisy is doing better today. Regarding your thermostat. Did the tech charge you $300 just for the part, or did that include labor? If the bill is not broken down separately for those items, I would call the company and ask what you were charged for just the part, and also ask what the hourly rate is for…
  • Oh my...what I started...:laugh: Here is one for "Sister Veggie Queen." Amanda, Sorry to hear about Teddy's fingers, but it sounds like the "cupcakes" arrived overall in good health. I hope your daughter can take comfort in that. Kackie--Belatedly, Happy B-Day!! Here is a calorie-free treat for you--LOL KC, I also thought…
  • < "bump" for Thanksgiving!! Thank you for posting. I plan to make a "trial run" with Greek yogurt, and Stevia for sweetening, and I think the cheesecake flavor (sugar-free) yogurt sounds like a great idea. Another variation might be to use the white chocolate (sugar-free) also.
  • You are welcome. It is too bad the website doesn't have a dog pulling a tree behind it--I seem to recall Bodi had an "encounter" with one of your trees a few months ago. :wink: Although I originally had doggie and balloon in my signature, I decided two moving objects was overkill, so I am glad he found a "home" with you.…
  • Life is a lot about choosing the lesser of two evils. That's why so many people get married more than once!!!! :wink:
  • Jackie, to answer your question, I use this website (free and safe-no viruses..etc.): http://www.freesmileys.org/ BTW, anytime you want to see where an image in a post came from, just use the quote button for that post and you will see the image code, which will tell you where it came from. You can actually copy that code…
  • Good for you. I am not big on ice cream, but last night, for some reason, it was the first thing I went for at my parents's house when I delivered their groceries. (They are elderly, so I do their shopping.) I heard vanilla ice cream and a brownie bite calling my name. I guess I must have been taking care of your "crave"…
  • I first saw the Gazelle on television, and eventually purchased one at Sear's--got them to pricematch a "deal" that Walmart had online, so got a good price and didn't have to pay shipping. I didn't buy the bottom pricepoint one, but the one with the more substantial frame. I use it regularly to replace my walking out of…
  • That may have been true, but below is a quote from another thread today about Wendy's Fries that you might find interesting: The link to the thread is: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/133805-new-fries-at-wendy-s BTW, I vote for homemade, baked sweet potato or regular potato fries.
  • I guess great minds think alike! THAT is hilarious!!!
  • Robin, Sorry you are having a challenging day. Sometimes walking in a grocery store is like walking into a minefield, isn't it? I often feel like these two guys> ..Wanting to be good, but teetering on the edge of caving to a crave. I feel your pain. BTW, regarding your earlier post today, I am also one of those who…
  • You have some adorable "cupcakes," Amanda!!! Hope mom is doing well, also. Edited to add--Birdie, Glad you are feeling better!! Barb PS BTW, I just discovered how easy it is to insert smileys from sources other than MFP....Can you tell???:blushing: <That one is from MFP--didn't want Mike to feel neglected!!!:wink:
  • Guess the rain is a reminder of why they call this part of the world the "Pacific NorthWET":laugh: :laugh: I am north of the Glen Jackson Bridge not far from I-205. You must play at the indoor facility in Salmon Creek. Some acquaintances of mine own an indoor soccer facility in Oregon. I have watched games there from time…
  • Hey RoadDog-- Your luck is getting better. We are the same age, and I am just across the river from you!!:noway: :noway: :noway: :wink: Seriously, --just kidding. I understand how your wife feels. I once felt the same way, but it was a bit of a onesided philosophy--which is why I am no longer married!! LOL I am female, age…
  • Connie, Your "babies" are beautiful. My "three little pigs" send their regards--Woof!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Gayla, Glad to hear that Neil is improving--keeping my fingers crossed for a full recovery of voice and swallowing function. I had 1/2 a baked chicken hanging around that I needed to turn in to something soon, or…
  • Guess my post was so witty, that Lynn thought we should all read it again. LOL...have the feeling she is creating a message that will soon follow. Edit, and she did. BTW Lynn, when a post get submitted before you intended, for about 15 -20 minutes afterward, if you look in the bottom right corner, next to "quote" and…
  • I thought the "cupcakes" had been "baking" all along.:noway: I look forward to hearing when they exit the "oven." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You are right, I have been busy. Picked up a touch of something, so I am home today. Doggies are keeping me warm and well-cared for. Weather is rainy and only supposed to make 47 F for a…
  • I will be cooking the dinner, so have to be mindful about "tasting." I don't expect to obsess on every bite, but not going to go overboard either. This year, I plan that the only thing at the table that will be "stuffed" will be the turkey!!!!:noway: :laugh: :laugh: If I falter, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are other days…
  • Thanks for posting about supercook. I just looked at it for the first time--fantastic. Every recipe I ran across so far has nutritional info too,--VERY handy!!!
  • Looks like I have everything I need to make up a recipe, just what I need, ANOTHER way to eat chocolate, but at least it is pretty reasonable in calories. Thanks for posting.
  • You have come to the right place. I am more than twice your age, so I will save you about 30 more years of frustration and pass along some things I have learned since getting on this website about a year and 1/2 and about 75 lbs. ago. When I started writing this post, no one else had posted, so some of what I say is…
  • WTG!! I remember how I felt when I got out of the "obese" category. Keep up the good work.
  • Good news!! (Well, maybe not:wink: :ohwell: :laugh: ....) In addition to the chocolate covered pomegranates I mentioned previously, which are once again in your Costco store for Christmas and a while thereafter, Brookside also has a chocolate covered blueberry (think it is mixed w/Acai berry) They also come in a 2 lb. bag…
  • One tip about salad dressing. I discovered that I like my salads just fine without any dressing--just ask for some lemon wedges and squeeze lemon juice on your salad. I do this all the time at Olive Garden. And order your salad without croutons. Those little buggers have lots of fat, usually, and sodium too. I don't fly…
  • I am trying an experiment here to see if I can get your pics to show. EDIT: Yup, that worked. The secret is to use the IMG code from the page and change the capital "IMG" that appears in the code to lowercase letters. There are two instances that have to be changed. Hope this helps for the future. 2nd edit to advise that…
  • Since I started using MFP almost 18 months ago, I have learned plenty about what sets off my cravings. SPLENDA is the DEVIL. :devil: .for me anyway. And drinking alcohol makes me crave carbs the next day. If I can tough it out for a couple of days, I can get over the hump and the cravings go away, but I find the cravings…
  • The Dallas -Green Bay game has about 10 minutes left, but unless Green Bay walks off the field before the clock runs down, I think the outcome is pretty well decided. I didn't watch the game, but obviously, with the lopsided score, Dallas hasn't had a very good night. Sorry Marie. :sad: :sad: Have a good week everyone. Barb
  • Welcome Connie, I am across the Columbia River from your one son; I am in SW Washington. I hope your husband's surgery goes well. You CAN BOTH succeed here, so welcome aboard!!! You have already learned the lesson about not falling off the wagon. Consider what you are doing a lifestyle change, and it will become second…
  • Unless you have some sort of rare health condition that would be adversely affected, going over on fiber is NOT a bad thing. Actually, it can be a GOOD thing as fiber helps you feel full longer, and aids in the digestion process. To make sure you don't create an unpleasant gastro-intestinal "experience" for yourself, add…
