Anyone seen an update from Laura B? I really hope her trip's going well.

Thanks Kelly. My diet is ok actually - it's the exercise I'm struggling with really. I was running 5k's and just stopped for some reason (vacation, got busy etc - all excuses) and haven't been able to get started again.

No wonder you haven't been back! That was the most boring, depressing film I've seen for years.

Me too. I don't go as often as you, but I do go probably monthly. We have a great second run cinema near us and I'll happily pay $5 to see pretty much anything there. I also am quite happy to see a movie by myself.

I have big brown eyes too, and they look nicer now because I've lost some weight from my face. Um, also I have nice thick hair and I'm in the Normal weight category again.

I'm so sorry to hear this Melissa. What terrible news. I will continue to send positive thoughts and hope for a better outcome.

Hello everyone. I haven't been very active recently, but I have been reading along. Am struggling a bit at the moment, for no particular reason. I really need to get back to exercising, but seem to have mislaid my motivation.

Good news about Sadie - I hope she continues to improve. Thanks for your thoughts Jenni. My sister is doing pretty well. She looks and feels fine, which of course can be dangerous when you have to rest. She's trying to make sure she does that. Unfortunately the oil in her eye is making things very blurry, and that's not…

It happens. Answer: 3 - no biggie. Getting back to it is what matters. Congrats on your loss so far!

For the zombie fans, I just noticed this: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10234639/now-taking-sign-ups-for-fear-the-walking-dead-fitness-challenge-starts-monday-august-24th#latest

This could be me. I say be pale and interesting. My vacations got a lot more enjoyable when I embraced the SPF 30 and the shade umbrella.

That's awful. :(

Yes, I knew that. I didn't know they were able to conduct such big surgeries that way though. I guess they've been doing spinal block c-sections for many years, and this isn't really any different. Just spoke to sister. She's doing well. Slept reasonably last night and is feeling ok. Things are looking good.

Oh wow. That sounds terrible.

FTFY.

Oh, that's awful. I really hope the fire moves away from the houses. :/

Went to see sister. She was up and about and looking completely normal. I thought she'd have a patch or something, but even her bad eye looks ok. I made her sit down and she promised she wasn't going to do anything more than get up to the bathroom for the rest of the day. She still has to have 2 weeks of complete rest and…

Ugh, seriously??? Sounds like you're hanging in there. Good for you. Time for this again:

Ohhh, sorry that happened. Kids can be brutal in their honesty.

Standard birthday party fare when I was a kid! That and various sandwiches with crusts cut off and a plate of fancy biscuits (cookies).

Me too. Take care, Susie. Wishing you healing thoughts!

Anyone heard from @KylerJaye? Hoping she's doing ok.

Thank you. I'm waiting for this morning's update. Last I heard was that the surgery was done, but for some reason they used a bubble of oil instead of the usual bubble of gas to stabilize the repair. From what I read, the outcome isn't as good, although the recovery is easier because it's not necessary to keep the head…

Two Weetabix with enough cold milk to make the biscuits mushy, plus so much sugar that the entire thing was sparkly and crunchy! That was my daily summertime breakfast while I was growing up. Winter was Ready Brek with hot milk and just as much sugar! BTW I was a thin kid.

Again, thanks for positive thoughts for my sister. It's very encouraging to hear of people who have had good results after the same injury. If anyone knows of bad outcomes, thanks for not telling me about them. :) She's still waiting for surgery, unfortunately. I don't know what's going on. They seemed pretty sure it was…

Will do. Am off to see her now.

Haha!

My friend used to work in an emergency department. She said you'd be surprised what things people put in all kinds of places. :|

Thanks all. I've been texting her this morning and no news on a surgery time - although it will almost certainly be today. Time is the essence, it seems. She's more stressed about the fact that she was having a down day yesterday, and didn't shower before she went out! I'm going to see if I can see her in a little bit and…

Yeah, I think it's really common! My son stuck a raisin up his nose, on a day when my very pregnant friend was babysitting (we were at a wedding). She tried to get it out, but by then it had swollen up and wouldn't budge. She had both my kids, plus hers, and really wasn't up to putting them all in the car and waiting at…
