Thanks snoozie... you always have the right words... You are ..... "smart, beautiful, kind and generous".... I am.... "smart, beautiful, kind, generous, and above all loving"..... Let's see where this thread leads.... Carol

Tonya, Our movie theater had reclining seats - think "Lazy Boy".... almost did fall asleep - luckily no blankie or else I would have... giggle / snort... next time I will bring myself a soda - just for the caffeine / stay awake factor - and have popcorn.... Luckily not an everyday occurance.... Carol

Janet, No more than a head turn - for about 1 minute at different points in the movie .... and not as bad as the original..... "flying baboons"... and the sidekick for OZ is a monkey.. but he's so cute.. I promise.... you won't be scared.... Carol

Jonny - Have an awesome time! As for me (and the family) we prefer dry land - especially with all the cruises having issues lately.... Carol

Jonny - so far, so good with the snack plan.... Have an awesome time on your vacation.... am sure you are making great progress on the lifestyle change.... When do you go on your vacation? Carol

The good news is: I bought a bunch of 100 cal snacks The bad news is: I bought a bunch of 100 cal snacks...:laugh: My plan is to keep most of them in the car (in the back of my suv - saturn vue)..handy / not so handy.... and only take in a few to keep in my emergency snack drawer at work... cheaper and healthier than our…

Janet, Sadly, no I have never made it to the flower show in Philly.... maybe I should add that to the bucket list? I had hoped to go when Mom was still here and we were younger, but the timing never worked out. However, both times our family went to Disney was in the spring - and yes, EPCOT is beautiful with the flower…

Time2-your steps have inspired me. In Baltimore,one of the big signs of spring is the Flower Mart, which I love because big hats are always fashionable there. Anyway, the Washington Monument is open on that day and the only way to the top is up the steps. I am going to follow your example and start going up and down the…

Snoozie, Yesterday's instructor almost killed me.... and she was making fun of the size of my ball - didn't have the heart to tell her it's not the size of the ball but what you do with it..... and yes....giggle / snort.....:laugh: :wink: :blushing: And she had the nerve to put yoga in the mix... but did it and didn't fall…

You are amazing - keep at it!

Thanks snoozie - added to my favorites....luckily I like most of the items... Wonderwoman aka Carol

So, I've been thinking.... My heroes are: my mom (of course - she's in heaven now), Mrs. March - from 3rd grade - she lived 1 block over from me growing up and I still have fond memories, Mrs. Hunt - High School English Teacher and I can't remember her name... but my nurse from High School - always had an encouraging…

<< in honor of women's history month. Who is your hero? Carol

do a google - women's history month... that should help too.. sponsored by DEOMI - not sure what the acronym stands for - something about equal opportunity....

Just a FYI - March is Women's History Month... (per the gov't)..... So maybe that could be our topic? First in - whiteout was invented by a woman - here's the website: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/liqpaper.htm Another interesting fact - she is the mother of Mike Nesmith - from the Monkee's.... Carol

Going for my tuna sandwich now.....with ranch doritos, 1 orange.... and of course I love / hate water - side zip pants.... Carol

Tonya.... Peanut Butter only works with chocolate - think reeses pb cups...:laugh: Mayo can only go with turkey or tuna - no other combos and only on wheat.... Bananas - not really a fan... Unless you want an Elvis Sandwich... NO THANK YOU....:noway: :huh:

Hairspray / Bisland.... Hubby strikes again... he brought up the mediterranean diet for us..... may not always follow... but salad, olive oil, and wine (for snoozie).......hmmmmm Carol

ugh... made the changes... honesty is the best policy.... currently at 180.. up from the 176 going to the poconos...:grumble::cry: and want to get to 165..(instead of the initial 160) size 12 pant... :bigsmile: maybe I'm just having a moment... thoughts??? Carol

Wow snoozie - now I'm a moderator too?? Thanks..... So - here's the latest updates: gastro yesterday - went well - no "special" exams.... :laugh: and I don't need to see him for another 6 months :bigsmile: .... at that time he'll probably send me for the MRI and of course I'll be 50 so I get the joy of the "over 50…

snoozie - You crack me up! seehe - gorgeous! sexy and you know it! hairspray - so true, so true..... TA - isn't it great to no longer be in the women's dept - so happy for ya.... well, changed the goal to 1/2 lb per week - which gives me an extra 200 cals per day... let's see how this works..... Of course - all the sexy…

If I'm correct.... A VITAMIX is a cross between a blender / food processor..... Personally, we're old school and use the blender for making drinks....:drinker: i.e frozen / marguritas etc.... and have never used a food processor.... we use the 18 year old / hubby is in charge of cooking and I'm on the clean-up crew...and…

Hey everyone - I'm back, had a wonderful time away with the hubby.... The food was great, had too much, and luckily "everyday isn't like today".....so back at it....

Heading out - back Tuesday night - see you all Wednesday... "smiles"....:love: :wink: :wink:

consignment shops are my friend for all the "too big" clothes... as far as letting go of all the crap accumulated - can so relate... had to go thru this when we cleaned out my mom's home about 10 years ago... wow - has it been that long??? still working on my current home and trying to remember less is more (both for us…

Hugs back! Stay strong ladies! Carol:love:
