Dee-My heart goes out to you! What a nightmare you are going through right now. Honey, just keep your head up high and know that everything will turn out the way it is supposed to. I am praying extra hard for your entire family in these Jewish High Holy Days.

My mom called this afternoon. Her welts are starting to fade and the dr. read her mamogram over and said everything is okay. What a scare!! Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers. They really help.

I had a very rough day at work today. I was ready to quit this morning, but am feeling a bit better about things tonight. I had to get my thoughts off my chest to the principal in order for me to feel better. Not that it helped the situation, but it helped me deal with it better.

Gayle-Sounds like you've had your share of hard times. I am glad that things are better now.

Talk to you later.

Remember 9-11-01

Let's continue to pray for all the families who lost a loved one on this day.

Ladies, please take a few moments today to reflect on the happenings over the past year and to say a prayer concerning all of the lives lost and the families that are suffering. We can do nothing about what happened on 9/11 or what might happen, but we as a Nation are strong and we have each other.

Sher: About the poll: I ALWAYS feel FAT!!!!!!! I just never ask any of my friends!!!!! We all know that I am a "butter ball"!!!!!

Wow, it sure seems like everyone on the board has had a tough week so far. I pray that today will be better for us all. Shelley, I'm glad the prayers were answered for your mom!

As I write this, my air force son is on a commercial airliner traveling from Montana to San Antonio. He is to arrive at 4:30 this afternoon. Please keep him in your thoughts for a safe and secure journey.

Well, I didn't want to admit this but all the damage I did with the out of control eating has lead to a 13 pound weight gain over the summer. I got right back on my plan over the weekend and when I weighed this morning, I had lost 6 pounds. I tend to retain a lot of water and I've really flushed it out this week. I'm determined to get back to where I was and then finish to the goal!

I'll be thinking of each and everyone of you today.
Take care,
Ramona

Hello all,


Glad to see everyone is doing the best they can this week.

Things here are hectic as always. My youngest sister is needing surgery on the 24th of this month and Mom is still in rehab. Sister is needing hysterectomy, she has a tumor they are concerned about.
I have been trying to stay upbeat but starting to stress out with everyone around me falling apart.

We all need to pick a nite to chat and have some laughs.

Check in later

Vickster: Is this the same Sis that currently has cancer?
Remember we are here for you.... sounds like everyone here is fighting illness or stress within the family.

Shelley thank you very much for remembering us in your prayers. I am glad that your mom is ok. I know that must have put you through a lot of stress. I find when I talk about my problems it helps me let of some steam and I just feel better because I could vent.

Ramona our thought are with your son at this time. It is getting close to that time that he lands so you can breath now. I too have gained weight this summer. Went back to my ww meetings. I have been since January 2001. I kept putting it off because I have tea with friends after the meeting and the day is too long for me. I get tired easily now and my priorities were with my friends. But I am going to try to do both.

Vicki your sister is in my prayers. I hope for a speedy recovery. Yes we should set a date soon and chat.

Gayle you have done so wll with your weightloss. You are not a butterball....you are a hot chick! Start believing it!

DEE

God Bless America!!

May God be with the families that lost loved ones on 9-11-01 and give them peace.

Thanks everyone for being my friend!

Hugs...deb

Our school had a beautiful ceremony this morning. All the kids were called to the front of the school and surrounded the flag. We all said the pledge, then the 5th graders sang a couple of America songs. It was so heartwarming (I got very teary eyed!!)

Ramona-I hope your son made it back okay. My brother is also flying today to Tampa from Las Vegas. I don't know what time he is supposed to arrive there. I'm sure if anything happened, I would have heard. I remember 1 year ago today my husband was on an airplane going to see his brother in Arizona and I was so scared!

Do any of you download music to listen while on the computer? I downloaded a bunch of 60's songs. Right now I'm listening to Na Na Hey Hey. I also recorded them onto a CD for jogging.

Howdy Floozie Friends! :wave:

First of all, How does everyone like my "Welcome Banners" that I've been making? Boo-Hoo :sorry: I thought someone would have noticed!! LOL!!

I got a new car!!! Well it's not new...but new to me!! Dad bought it yesterday and it was sitting in my driveway when I got home from work.It's a '94 Ford Tarus.It's baby blue & in PERFECT condition!! :D

Gayle*****You're not a "Butter Ball!!!" To me, You're one good lookin' lady!!! I wished I was your size!!!!

Ramona*****As I type this I'm hoping that your Son made it to San Antonio fine.I said a prayer for him when I read your post.

Vicki*****I hope that your Sister does fine during surgery.She will be in my prayers.I had my hysterectomy at the age of 34.Pick a night for chat!!!!

Dee*****Please VENT!!! You have been through so much lately!! We're all here for you ALWAYS!!!! :angel: You're in my prayers daily.Love you. {{{ Hugs }}}

Shelley*****I know what you mean about the ceremony! Our School did one similar to yours.We had a 1st grade class to sing over the intercom.We all were crying.There's nothing sweeter then hearing a child sing!!!

Debyj*****Wow!!! We're in the wrong profession! We all need to be a dentist...don't we!!! Well, I guess he can think of you when he's out on his new boat this summer!!! :lol:

Debbie***** I miss talking to you!!! I guess we need to try to get together more!! We are working games together but we need to have fun too!!! LOL!!!! I miss you!! Hey, give Jacob a kiss from his Aunt Sherry!!! :bb:

Carol***** Talking about babies....where are you??? Are you spoling your new Grandbaby rotten????!!! I miss you!!

Sherry...:cb:

Love the new banners. You are so talented!!:p

Love you...deb

W@W!!!!! SHER-BEAR!!!!!!!!! LOVE THE NEW BANNERS!!!!!!! YOU SPOIL US!!!!! LOVE YA!!!!!! :lol:

Hey Sher, did Dad a BIG OL' HUG from me!!!! It was sooooo SWEET of him to gift you with a car!!!!! Love him while you can, I miss my Dad so much!!!! :grouphug:

Hi Girls!

Sherry, I love the banners!

Jennelle---my middle name is Janelle!

How's everyone doing?? I'm at work right now and listening to the radio. I can't wait for it to be midnight so we can say goodbye to this day!! It's been so depressing, i've cried twice!!

Dee--how's your family?? Your sister and mom okay? I been thinking about ya!

Well, we got some good news today. My dh has been having to go to the dr to get blood drawn for a while now because his liver enzymes have been too high(means that liver is not getting rid of toxins well and not functioning as well). The drs have thought that he might have a form of hepatitis and was gonna have to have a biopsy(painful). He went to a specialist today and was told it is probably a fatty liver and he just needs to adjust his diet. It was a good wake up call for him, because he was drinking too much and eating too much. I felt like i was just beating a dead horse! And i'm telling you--since i quit drinking-HE WAS GETTING ON MY NERVES!! :devil: I think he has finally figured out that he can't live forever treating his body that way!! Sooo, sorry to go on forever---i feel much better about the situation.

Hope everyone has a good rest of the evening!!

:lol:

Sherry...you are the best...Where you get your banners from they are great.
This is my youngest Sister who has to have a hysterectomy, I just go from one crisis to another.

I must apologize to whoever I offended here=my intentions have been to meet new friends and develop lasting friendships. I would never do anything to offend someone. I have been one of the originals from the get go and have enjoyed coming here. Otherwise I am just a boring woman with stress and time on my hands.

Later

Hey Vickster: Did someone say something that made you think that you offended someone? Please let us know!!! If I wrote something that led you to believe that, I apologize. I for one treasure your friendship and am so happy that out of all of the people in this world, you are the one to choose to stop and post on our little message board, If you need to talk, email me, but not at the yahoo email, I never check it. I know you are under a great deal of stress right now, but I want you to know that we love and care about you!!!!!!

Vicki~ You OK hon?

O.K. everyone, I've decided to take it upon myself to give a Thursday morning pep talk. Now, maybe this is none of my business, but it seems we are all in a bit of a slump. It may be with our weightloss, with family problems, with work problems, or with health problems. Whatever our problems are, we are here for each other and things WILL get better. I want to give us all a great big group hug. I know when I get down, I tend not to post to my friends here. Ironically, that is when I need you the most! We are a great group of friends and just as soon as I hit the lottery, I'm going to fly us all to meet together and have a great big party!!!!(well, it doesn't hurt to dream does it?) :grouphug:

So, as you go about your day today, stop and think about your floozie friends and remember that there are people out here who love you unconditionally and will always be here for you! :wave:

If I've spoken out of turn, just tell me to :censored: :ziplip: I just :love: you guys and want everyone to be healthy and happy.

Take care all,
Ramona

RAH-RAH!!!!! Ramona!!!!!! I could not agree with you more!!!!!
I guess it's time to fess up..... personally I had a few days of not wanting to post on this thread a few weeks ago. Not that anyone did or said anything, just that I took something the wrong way.... finally I decided that I am here for moral support, helpful suggestions, encouragement, anything that will help me with my weight loss and decided to post. Now I look back at it and it was really silly, but I guess I was just in one of my pissy moods!!!! I for one LOVE this board and I LOVE each and every one of you!!!!!

Gayle & Ramona...

Thank you for your support....I feel like I am like you Gayle a couple of weeks ago. I took something out of context and made an issue out of it.

I love coming here and reading how everyone is doing and what's going on in each of your lives. Like I said I am a boring woman with stress and time on my hands...LOLOLOLOl

Everyone of you are dear to me and Gayle i will email you or if you have an messenger IM. I will contact you that way.

Ramona....I loved the peptalk ...It is what i needed.

Vickster: ghall@dodgecity.net
:smug:

Sherry-Your banners are great!

Ramona-Wouldn't it be great if we could all meet? That would be so much fun. Oh well, maybe one out of all of us will win the lottery. I know my DH buys tickets every week.

Gayle-Since when are you a butterball?? Your picture shows us just how THIN you are!

I've been eating too much and not jogging enough. It's TOM, so maybe my appetite will decrease soon. I feel like a big fat slob!! After dinner, is all I want to do is eat. I have only been eating those darn sf fudgesicles, but I eat so many of them!!

Debbie-We miss your posts. I know how busy you are though. It seems like each day gets worse than the next at my work!

Vicki and Gayle-Gosh! I hope I'm not the one who said something to offend you. My mouth gets way too big sometimes and I say stupid things.

Yom Kippur starts Sunday night. We are supposed to fast, but I never do. Maybe this time I will to make up for the extra snacks I've been having. Anyway, one of the things that Jewish people are supposed to do during these high holy days is to ask forgiveness from all our friends for anything that we may have said or done---so, since all of you are my dear friends I ask each of you to forgive me for anything that I may have said or done to any of you.

Dee-I will say an extra prayer for your mom tomorrow night.

I love each and everyone of you!

Dear Vicki & Gayle,

I have spent the last hour going back over all the posts and reading them.I hope so much that it's not me that said something out of the way to either one of you!!!

I have been so tired from working 2 jobs, cleaning house, laundry, yard work & cooking, sometimes I honestly don't know if I'm coming or going.Honestly...somedays I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. If I said something to hurt you, PLEASE forgive me.I sometimes say things in a joking way that I don't mean in a cruel way.Please, please forgive me if it was me.I love you both so much! We have 3 years of close friendship and I would never hurt that in any way.

Ramona is the greatest! She knows exactly how to word things that I mean.I wished I had her talent in writing.I'm like her, we're all so close here that I feel like I've known everyone for years!! I look forward to coming home, undressing into something comfy and checking to see who posted!!!!

I love ALL my Floozie Friends....Thank each of you for being my friend and for being a part of my life.:angel:

Hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear)

WHOA!!!!! GIRLS!!!!! I am not upset!!!!! Something did upset me a few weeks ago, it was way silly, I was in a pissy mood, I had PMS and a ton of other things on my mind. What it amounted to: I asked a question about dieting and food that was a serious question to me. No one responded. Being in my mood, I thought: well heck this is a weight loss thread, right? I felt like I asked an "on topic" question and no one wanted to respond. When in fact looking back at it, everyone was away on trips, could not get onto the site, school was starting etc. I apologize for any misunderstandings, I value the friendship on this board and want to continue it. With so many personalities on this board, misunderstandings will happen, I hope we know each other well enough now to just chalk it up to a bad day and move on as we continue our friendship. I hope what I wrote makes little bit of sense to you, just do know that I am HAPPY here, I want to stay HERE and I consider each of you a FRIEND!!!!!!!!!

Sher-Bear: You need to take it easy!!!!!! I am starting to get worried about you, it is not a "good thing" when you feel a nervous breakdown coming on!!!! PLEASE try to get some rest soon!!!!!! Let the little stuff at home go... it will still be there for you later on, but at least you won't be doing it ALL right now.



LOVE YOU!!!!!!:cloud9:

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go To #53.............A New Thread Has Been Started!!!!! :D
