Hi Everyone,
Spent the day with my DD and my niece cleaning out my sister’s clothes closets. Makes me want to go through my closets and drawers. I really do not want my DD to have to do this when I die.
Tomorrow morning is my weigh-in. Keep your fingers crossed that I lose another pound – my goal.

Hi Cajun,
I get a “semi-pedicure” every six weeks. No polish, but toenails cut to take care of ingrown nails. At the same appointment, she waxes my eyebrows and the hairs on my face. I do not mind someone playing with my feet, but I cannot stand facials. Some find them relaxing – made me want to scream.

Hi Karen,
I am so sorry to read about Ginger’s health problems. I know how much you love her. Tell her I am wishing that she feels better soon.

The being nice, then hurting her physically and/or emotionally, then the I'm sorry's and promises never to do it again and then the cycle starts all over again. She is trying to get a divorce and he is making it miserable every step of the way. And his mom has been awful too ~ making threats on Facebook to Sara and our family, but says they were not for us ~ guess she thinks I am totally stupid or something ~ they absolutely were directed at my family.
The scum sent her flowers today for her birthday ~ makes me want to hurl.
Sadly these awful people are the father and grandmother of my precious Corbin and Maddie. Sometimes I wish Sara had never met him, but if she hadn’t we wouldn’t have Corbin and Maddie.
Enough said on that topic. I would appreciate prayers if anyone would do that ~ thank you.
Hope you all have a nice evening.

Hi Gayle,
I am DEFINITELY sending you and your family my prayers. I have been where your daughter is. My first husband was physically and mentally abusive of me. It took me about 15 years to get the courage to walk out – BEST walking I ever did.

Hi Rosey,
Happy to read that Steve will get his health issues taken care of. From what you have written about him, I think he is a REALLY good guy.
An idea for a low-carb snack –
8 oz of fat-free cream cheese
4 oz of fat-free sour cream
8 oz tub of sugar-free Cool Whip
Sweetner to taste (I use about ¼ cup of Splenda)
Beat together the cream cheese & the sweetner; add the sour cream & beat till smooth; fold in the Cool Whip.
I use this as a dip for fruit/berries. It satisfies my sweet tooth.

Hi Mary,
I just finished Dan Brown’s new book – Inferno. If you like the others, you will like this one. This month’s book club selection is The Woman Upstairs. I like it a lot.

I think it's so way cool that you and KarenFL are planning to meet! Rie and I met last month, and it was the best! It's so nice to put a body with a face... you two should have a great time! I hope you can pull it off this fall.

Hi Donna,
I have never dealt with IE at 3FC. Did you alert them to this message that we got? It never occurred to me to do that.
I wish we could all get together. I feel closer to the ladies on this thread than to a lot of folks I see all the time.

Hi Bobbi,
I spent 2 days this week clearing out my sister’s clothes. Today, I found her wedding gown (from 1956) and a mink stole of my mother’s (from 1950).
My sister was a “SHOPPER” and never changed her weight. So, her clothes spanned MANY years. I filled 17 LARGE black trash bags. Veterans of Vietnam are going to pick them up.

Hi Cajun,
Good for you! For me, getting my mind in the right place is the key to losing. I get weighed tomorrow morning at JC. I am hoping that I will lose 1 more pound.

Hi Mary,
My DD has just begun using coupons. She takes photos of the things she gets for free and sends them to me. CONGRATULATIONS on your booty.
