Good morning! Thanks to those of you who commented on my punishment by eating. There were food issues in my home growing up so I'm sure that plays a role. Tammy (?) - I just enjoyed my Banana Cream Overnight Oatmeal that I typically make/pack in a jar. I have lots of those recipes and use them a lot in the summer because I…

Thanks for the kind words, ladies! Miriam, I'm glad your birthday was a good one! I can barely see to type between yawns so I will try a "real" post tomorrow. Carol in NC

Good night, everyone! I felt more like myself today than I have in a long time. It felt good! Hugs all around! Carol in NC

Good morning! I'm thinking I might fit in a full post today. :smiley: I had a really horrid 10 days or so of eating and I'm not really sure of the trigger for it. I don't know if others of you do this, but it was really like I was punishing myself with food--I ate until I was literally sick. I didn't even go out into the…

I'm still alive. At least I'm keeping up with the reading now. Hugs to all!

Welcome, Linda! I think most of us lurked for a bit before joining the conversation, so lurk away to your heart's content, then jump right in. Miriam - Thanks for your response. I just had lab work done and everything was 'normal' except I'm slightly hyperthyroid. I done have any of those symptoms so we're watching it for…

Sylvia - I am so sorry you're dealing with this with your son! I wish I could bundle you up in my arms for a real life hug. Please keep us up-to-date as much as you are able. And, don't forget to take care of Sylvia. ((((HUG)))) Michele - I deliberately thought about this overnight before I said anything. 1) The things…

Betty - I have arthritis in my knees. The orthopedist surgeon that repaired my torn meniscus said that I should/would never walk for exercise again and should avoid steps. Well, up until my shoulder surgery last summer I was walking four miles for exercise plus a few more miles just in general walking every day and could…

Good afternoon! I just read Heather's comment about pancakes. I can't remember the last time I had pancakes. :neutral: Well, actually the boy child shared a taste of one of his a couple of days ago, but a gluten-free pancake with no butter and no syrup simply doesn't count!! Don't have too much to say. Just slogging along…

Yvonne - I use MapMyWalk. I no longer have it set to sync to MFP because it fought with my FitBit over which was going to be in control of reporting my exercise calories. Even though I don't watch football, I am sad that our Panthers lost. My son got home late last night so I haven't been able to see how upset he might be.…

Good afternoon! I'm doing my usual Saturday chores today. I had a great chat with my BFF this morning--we love our Saturday morning chats but she's been going out of town to see her new fella most weekends, so it was really special this morning. I was playing around on the dating sites yesterday and said "maybe " to a…

Good morning! Just a quick stop... Heather - Could you use your ex's place either by yourself or with a girlfriend? It seems a shame to pass up the opportunity. Janetr - So sorry!! Prayers and love sent your way. Planning to go see a movie this afternoon--"Spotlight"--about sexual abuse in the church. I'm doing it for…

Good night!!

Good night!

Heather - I remembered!! I second Kim on Carbonite! I use it at both of my workplaces and at home. I love it!

Good morning! Rori - When my bursitis flares, I have a lot of "pain on pressure" at the joints so I don't think a massage would help. It's eased up a good bit now. I've been making a point of not sitting for long periods of time and walking more to flex the joint. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your massage!! CSSJ90 - I…

Good morning! Joyce - I am so happy to hear from you! I am also so sorry that you have been going through such trials and tribulations. Although it's not quite the same, I can relate to your washing machine experience. Mine quit during a load of dirty diapers when the boy child was little. Hugs and prayers to you! Lisa -…

Good night!!

Miriam - I am convinced that my ex has a narcissistic personality issue. It is taking a lot of hard work to try to overcome the damage he did to me. When our children are of no 'use' to him, he has no contact with them. Consequently, they pretty much have no time for him. It makes me sad. And, I blame myself.
-
Way to go, Miriam! That's what I tell myself, too! I'm fine by myself so it's just a fun adventure.

Thanks for the suggestions for the spinach and feta substitutes! I Googled low calorie quiche recipes and found some I think I would like that were low in calorie. Sometimes it seems like I forget about certain foods or combination of foods that I like and that are good for me. I need to start reading recipe books again!!…

Sorry for all the double posting stuff. Computer was acting like it wasn't positing at all!

I think I am going to start a blog entitled "Church: From the Inside." Today, I walked into the building and was be-bopping my way down the hall to my office and, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a package on the porch of another entrance. As I said mildly insulting things to the unknown delivery person for his stupidity…

Hi kids!! (your mommy is sounding testy even though y'all look toasty!) Mindy - I've never thought about ordering something like a car window from eBay, BUT I have gotten a part from a local junkyard before to replace my daughter's tail light assembly. Good luck with the job! I went to my GP for my six-month check up and…

Since Kim mentioned the spinach feta pie, I have ask, is there an alternative to either of those ingredients or am I just stuck with never being able to make it? I don't like feta and I don't Ike cooked spinach. :disappointed: I'm not creative enough to come up with alternatives on my own. Carol in NC

Good morning! I've had my Fitbit Flex for (I think) over two years and the only problem I've had with it is that the charger died. My daughter had an extra one so I'm all good again. I think I've worn mine into the shower once--my mind was obviously not on what I was doing. Michele - You asked about snow boots. I have a…

I'll chime in on wood floors...I grew up with the old fashioned hardwoods and my last house had them. When I moved here, there were already hardwoods in the entry, dining room, kitchen, and downstairs bath. If I had my way, the whole place (except for the upstairs bathrooms) would be hardwood. In addition to the allergy…

Miriam - My daughter and I joke a lot about "the crazy gene" but it wouldn't be funny if someone else did it. She has decided that that she does not want to ever bear children so that the gene won't get passed down.
-
Sylvia - I used to make my tea with part Splenda and part sugar then decreased the sugar over time. Luckily, I like the taste of Stevia and use it exclusively now. Did you know that some folks have gene (or something) that determines whether Stevia tastes bitter or sweet and whether cilantro tastes good or tastes like…
