Mary, yes, obstructed bowel was the first thing that went through my mind, so I was thrilled when the diarrhea started. I just ate something that didn't agree with me. Not sure I ever want to go to TGI Fridays again, though. I'm feeling LOTS better this morning. We already had breakfast and it feels fine. :p We (he)…

Hello out there! We are in Jackson, TN tonight. I'm feeling quite a bit better now, but it was touch and go there for a while earlier. I ate a light dinner and it stayed down. Earlier we walked around Vanderbilt University, and hubby was showing me which dorm he was in, and where his chemistry classes were, and which…

Hello everyone. Just a quick note because I'm sick as a dog. We drove through the great smoky mountains, which were beautiful, and walked up a steep paved trail to the top of a really beautiful overlook. It was worth the effort to get there. Then drove into Pigeon Forge TN, where we found our hotel. OMG! This place is a…

Good morning ladies! Yesterday we went with 2 DSIL's and their husbands up to Pilot Mountain and walked a somewhat strenuous trail that goes around the mountain. It was a lot of climbing on big rock "steps", going up and down. I kind of pulled my knees and hips out of whack a little, and they are sore this morning.…

Last night we went out to dinner on the recommendation of the desk clerk. It was a steak and spaghetti place. I considered getting the chicken Alfredo, but just briefly. Instead, I told the waitress what I wanted and asked if they could do it. 15 minutes later I was eating a smallish portion of whole wheat pasta with…

Good morning everyone! We stopped in Lebanon, Tennessee last night and got a king suite, with two rooms! I was drafting in the "living room" while hubby was watching tv in the bedroom. I could get spoiled like this. This morning I did a little more drafting. Hubby is in the shower, then it's my turn. We bring our own…

Mary, is there any reason not to do cardio in addition to the lifting? I think my cardiologist likes me to do cardio. I downloaded the app and it's really nice, complete with videos. No time yet to sit down with it and figure it out, but I will. Sylvia

sorry, duplicate post.

Mary, you look fantastic! I haven't worn shorts that short since high school. How did you get started in the Stronglift thing? I must check into that.

This picture on Facebook made me thirsty.

Hubby has to check out my new swimsuit when we got home. I tried it on to show him, and there was some inappropriate touching. B) Apparently he approves.

We arrived at the pediatric oral surgeon's office only to be told that her appointment had been cancelled. Nobody told us! The nurse said that somebody told my son on Friday that it was cancelled, but obviously that wasn't true or we wouldn't have been there. Do they think we got up before dawn and drove two hours in a…

Good morning. We are driving to KC in a blinding thunderstorm, but luckily we left early so should be there in plenty of time before her "procedure". It's hard to see the water standing in the road because it's still dark. Glad hubby is driving.

Tonight I got home from the studio, threw frozen chicken, red potatoes and a cup on unsalted chicken stock into my pressure cooker, along with some Mrs Dash, and presto! In 30 minutes my dinner was ready and falling off the bone tender. I LOVE this thing! I had gone thru the drive through at the Chinese place and bought…

Joyce, what great advice! Thank you so much! I will try to talk to my son about these things you have suggested. The closest Alpha support group is about 200 miles away, so that's not really a possibility. I'm on one of the online groups and occasionally get some really good advice there too. I'm not sure my son is doing…

On antidepressants...I tried them all over the years. I had a very serious problem with suicidal depression most of my life. Even as a small child. Mostly they didn't work and I hated the side effects. In the past six or so years I've been on Trazodone, which seems to work better than any, at least for me. It helps me…

Thank you so much everybody, for all your sweet support. I can't tell you how much it means to me! My son called me this afternoon and said he was really, really sorry that he took it out on me, and I believe him. He's in such a hard place right now. Cheri, I love your poster! I'm going to print it out and hang it on my…

Good morning. At least I hope it's good where you are. I got up early and started walking only to find that my hip joints are very sore. So, I didn't walk as far as I wanted to. Then showered and got ready to go to the studio. I called my son to see if he needed any help from me this morning and he snapped at me. He's…

Duh! I kept wondering why nobody was posting today, then realized I was reading July! Michele, I don't use molds. Only wheel thrown or hand built clay. Sorry. I don't know anything about them. We paddled the canoe for an hour, then I walked almost 7 miles. So I'm pooped. I'll try to read all 6 pages tomorrow. Good night.…

We just finished dinner (left overs from last night) and will walk the dogs across the dam in a little while. For some reason the sun is bothering me a lot today. It seems more intense or something, even though it's a little cooler today than the last few days. We got new life vests so we can go out in the canoe early…

Just a note to report my first experience with my multi cooker. It arrived about noon and I ran out and bought a pork roast to try it out. It was so easy! I used the pressure cooker function and cooked the roast, along with red potatoes and frozen green beans in 50 minutes. Well, it was a little more than that because I…

Good morning! We turned in the rental yesterday after we picked up my van. It looks so beautiful! I love it so much more now after driving that rental for so long. Yesterday afternoon I went to the auto parts store and told the woman clerk what I had done to the rental and asked for her advice. She came out to look at it.…

Terri, I don't go to sonic. Partly because the food is just horrible for me, but partly because the servers only get $2.35 an hour or something ridiculous like that. No wonder they give bad service. Supposedly they are expected to get tips, but nobody I know tips there. I just got back from the car wash and had a horrible…

How long does it take you to walk twenty inches? Maybe we should set our goals just a teensy bit higher? :D

Good afternoon everyone! I just finished all my drafting that was hanging over my head from yesterday, so now I'm a lady of leisure. For about 20 minutes anyway. The repair shop called yesterday to say my van is finished. Trouble is the insurance company has not issued the check yet, so we have to chase that down. And I…

Took kids to science city in Kansas City. Just got home. Too tired to read posts tonight. Will check in tomorrow. Good night everyone.

Today was lunch with my friends, then PetSmart and Sam's club. I bought more at Sam's than I expected to. I called my son and asked if there was anything he needed. It's the end of the month and the food stamps have long since run out, so he needs a little help. I got a huge cart full of stuff for them and three things for…

Pip, oh my goodness! I don't think I could function at all with an injury like that, much less all the biking and running you are doing. Are they going to fix it?

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! Yes, today I turned 60. We ate lunch with my son and the kids then all came to our house for cake (which I made myself) and ice cream. Afterwards hubby and I played carroms against the two youngest while the oldest noodled around on the piano. At one point I made a particularly…

Good morning! I went out to do my walk/jog early and it was already hot. I was drenched when I came back in the house. Now I have to clean house. We are meeting the kids at the mall deli for lunch at 11:30, then hubby insists we should come back here for cake afterwards. I don't want cake, but he says it's not a birthday…
