Hey tallies ---- I'm 54yrs old and 5ft 8.5" - formerly 5ft 9.5" or rounded up to 5ft 10" - and the shortest person in my family other than my 7yr old grandson...the women in my family are all 5ft 10" and taller, the men all over 6ft at least. SW: 301 in May 2016 CW: 261 in Aug 2017 GW: 177 ++ some might ask me why 177 and…

There's a reason why we see shows like BL start everyone with hours and miles on the treadmill. Walking is the best way, but takes a really long time to show immediate results. It's also the easiest on our joints, unless you're in the pool. You can never go wrong with walking unless you get bored. Good for you on your food…

~Re - yes, gotta love seeing photos! ~ Karen in VA - not only is it unsettling, it's thrilling and has me giddy like I've opened a gift!! Yes, he was very special - not only to me, but to many others. His funeral was attended by over 3k people, some as far away as Mexico and England flew to SE Washington to be there. The…

~ Joyce - that reminded me of this itch to pick up my crochet hook again...that's it, I'm going shopping tonight and make myself an afghan...I haven't done that in over 20yrs, so I'm overdue! Just have to decide the color(s) now! Thanks for the inspiration...I'm certain I'll end up like you and everyone will want one...my…

Scotty - Rest in Paradise brother! Daddy (far right) - about 6 months before he passed away...as you can see, he was the picture of health and vitality then after just turning 68 the week before that photo was taken...three of the four in that photo were with him the day he passed, on the top of that mountain behind…

~ Re in TX - LOVE the thought of cornbread and beans, so I think that's going on my menu for the weekend! Thanks for the idea! ~ Janet, Sue - you guys are an inspiration! If I EVER need my knee replaced, I know just who to come to for advice!! Oh, and Janet those ornaments are awesome! I wish I could be so creative! My…

~ Michele aka exermom - yes, that's my fracture, but I did not end up with screws - I refused surgery as soon as I learned I could heal on my own eventually, and yes it has been a long almost 3yrs...TBH it wasn't until this year, and 40 pounds off that I've felt like I can trust it regularly. I still wear a brace if I know…

~ KJLaMore - thank you for that! I'm slowly coming out of the fog, but it sure hasn't been easy. My DD thinks my body is attacking me to remind me I'm not just in heart pain, my soul hurts too. I appreciate your comment! ~ Sygamore - Welcome! I'm fairly new here as well...I just jumped right in and started sharing...so…

Struggling to stay awake - no eclipse story here, as it was overcast and raining throughout the morning...already trying to decide where I want to be for April 8th, 2024 - either Indianapolis, Dallas, or San Antonio - the path will cross over all three locations and I have close friends in all three locations. Well, maybe…

Last night I spent most of the day moping around, and sabotaged myself into eating too much food at lunch - because everyone else was - including a tiny sliver of plain cheesecake, which promptly upset my tummy because I've not hand any refined sugar in awhile...it was not worth it! So, as I sat there miserable in my…

~ Lanette - that made me GIGGLE! I could soooo see a frying pan headed his direction with a few well placed round kicks to his knees too! ~ Barbie - that's the plan - I'm probably going to drive up to get Nana's rocking chair and help out with Scotty's estate when I can be more useful - meaning I'm taking my bereavement…

Ladies ~ You ALL ROCK!!! Thank you for the condolences and commentary on Mr. Toad...he's hopped his sorry self off into the sunset and I couldn't be more happy to be back to "normal" in more ways than one after the procedure on Friday! ***giggles*** I do however still have a nasty bruise from the IV site, which I told her…

Thank you ALL for your well wishes and insight that I made the correct decision about Mr. Toad --- I'm VERY grateful to have found out his true nature now instead of later. Nothing invested, nothing lost but great lessons learned and affirmation that I need to continue screening my dates - but this time, instead of just…

Ladies ~ I'm sad to report that my step brother Scott passed away at 853pm yesterday. My step Mom made the decision to take him off of life support, with a very unwilling and reluctant vote from my step sister Kriss, who is his blood sister. Twelve minutes later, he lifted both arms as if reaching for something, and took…
