  • I am falling over with laughter. When did exercising get so imaginativr?
  • Sylviahow true. Still thinking about the poor kitty. Heather terrific news about your son. Peru, but not Machu Picchu or Amazon. A colleague is looking forward to civeche. I am not sure about that. Lime juice alters the protein molecules in the fish but does not actually kill parasites or salmonella. Any advice? DJ…
  • Lisa A plague on the Cisco house for not hiring you. It is truly their loss. Seriously, I am so proud of your NSV. I am not sure that I would have handled it as well. Margaret The Guest House is beautiful. If you like Rumi, you may also want to read The Gift by Daniel Ladinsky. These poems, written by him, are inspired by…
  • I am not sure why everything posted in bold print. I tried just to bold names. My apologies to all. CJ
  • RealMsWolfI am so sorry for the loss of your furbaby Zoso. {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}} [Dr Katiebug] Congratulations on the smaller cuff and the PURPLE PANTS. I am not so brave to wear bright colors yet. Best of all, THANK YOU for donating blood. Our family ( DGD with cancer) has been the beneficiary of selfless contributors…
  • Congratulations to all you early exercisers. Itseems that many of us have that cold migrating to bad cough. Could we have picked up the virus from our computers?
  • LisaIt sounds like you had a really good job interview. Best of luck. I really hope you get the job without having to relocate. Make THEM pay for any travel. To all the 5'2" club members - I wish. My goal is to grow tall enough to be at least 5'. I can't count how many times that I have been speaking to someone in a party,…
  • arbeej 20 pounds since January certainly impresses me. And this group celebrates remaining at the same weight and not gaining. We support all our success -NSV and weight loss. CJ
  • KarenThis brings back wonderful memories. For graduation from uni my mother asked what I wanted as the 3 months traveling overseas was now out of the question due to father's death a few months before. I said - a night at the Metropolitan Opera in grand style or a g [d bike. My mom introduced me to opera at age 4 and I…
  • Penny I just saw this article about the miner's choir in Longyearbyen, Svalbard and thought of you. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/coal-mining-choir-norway_us_56d9fa0de4b0000de404a38c
  • Dear All you awesome ladies, Getting caught up with all of you takes some doing. We are an active bunch. Heather Your recipes always sound so good. I am also enjoying the Norwegian lessons and reading your conversation with Penny You two sound like you have been over the fence neighbors for many years instead of MFP…
  • I am laughing at my typing, too. .....autocorrect....needs auto-proofing. Sylvia when do you sleep? Penny I am inspired by your exercising regardless of weather. It is 28 but feeling like 19 and I hope the wind dies down before my riding lesson.Call me a wuss. I read what you wrote about the thesis editing. Since you loved…
  • I'm am laughing ☆☆☆
  • Dear all you awesome ladies. I have been off the thread for 2 weeks due to a big project and family health difficulties. Big mistake. The time I saved by not reading your posts translated into weight gain. I did continue logging every single day and exercised most days, but for some reason gained, even though i wad below…
  • I left the page while posting a really long message yesterday and the whole thing disappeared. How do I go back to another page to check something without losing the entire reply? I hope I include everyone in this response. Beth 14 below! The longest week of my life was getting snowed in one weekend in Buffalo. You are…
  • Sue Good luck on the languages. You DD 's opportunity to ride in Wales sounds marvelous.
  • Elaine- is that one of your drawings? Beautiful.
  • Heather thanks for the movie tip.
  • Kristan, If you want to experience/try out travel abroad with a family without leaving home, check at your local colleges and see if host families are needed. Overseas students often want to experience our culture or practice English. I have been a host parent and ended up planning a wedding and standing in for a mother…
  • Carol, Please don't feel that you have to apologize. We are all made differently. You always have such wonderful things to say to everyone else. My guess is that you are a deep thinker. That is a profound way to live and does not need busyness.
  • Elaine Such nice and steady progress. Congratulations.
  • Katla Thank you for the encouragement and information on bursitis. More reason to stretch and strengthen my legs. I hope your barrel racing goes well. I rode western as a child but made the switch to English as an adult. I definitely don't have the guts to try barrel racing. I would like to find a Paso to ride. Great…
  • Anne Please don't kick yourself. As human beings, we crave and need connections. In fact, it has been shown that people who do not have good connections to others, whether married, partners, or living apart but friends, have a reduced quality of life. They also have a reduced quality of health. I am so glad that you found…
  • Dear all, Time got away from me yesterday. Unfortunately, work gets in the way of my MFP so I just finished 4 new pages of messages since yesterday morning. Lots of {{{{{hugs}}}}} and wishes to everyone. I am amazed at the reservoirs of strength that you all exhibit. I don't think that I handle difficult situations nearly…
  • Haven't had time to read today's notes. I will do it after working. My riding lesson got cancelled because of cold (22 F) plus strong winds. A huge disappointment. The wind is supposed to die down by tomorrow so we will try again. I had to walk inside instead. CJ
  • Vicki In Grand Island What do you mean " nothing to show for the last 4 days off" ????? You have given comfort to a friend and family in need. Such selfless devotion is such an act of love and a true testament to your friendship. We should all be so blessed to have a friend such as you. Janet I hope that you have taken…
  • Dear Ladies, Thank you all for the wonderful remarks about the dress. I finally see progress. It is the first and only clingy dress i can remember wearing since university days. Reading your compliments will make it easier for to lose the last 20 pounds and work on getting muscles. I used to have an exercise buddy and that…
  • Sue - the HS article sounds like a good idea. I will try to find it in the library. Still no calls back from stables. I wonder why. Kim824. I am fairly new her- under 2 months. I lurked for quite a while before jumping in and I am so glad that I did. What an interesting group of gals from all over the world. Sylvia You are…
  • Becca in Oregon I also thought you might be able to use mosquito netting or a piece of an old window screen.
