Okay...I answered "other" because I usually eat lite wheat...

School sucked today. Someone stole $10 out of my wallet. :cry: I am 99.99999% positive I know which student did it, but I have no way of proving it. Plus, this student's mother HATES the assistant principal, and were we to search him we would have probably ended up on the news.

So, the asst. principal gave me $10 from his own wallet, which I know he didn't have to do. I also had a very stern, but quiet talk with my class. They knew I was pissed, and upset, and extremely disappointed.

I'm going to have to bait them, I guess. I don't want to, but I think I'm going to have to.

Hi Jenelle---

Well, that just SUCKS!! Can't do anything to disipline the kids anymore can ya??

Hope you have a better weekend than your day at school

debyj(janelle)

Jennelle-If that happened at our school, the student would be suspended for 1 or 2 days. Our principal is very strict with the students. If the parent were to give a fight about it, the child would be removed from the school at some point.

Dee-I couldn't stand it!! I looked to see how far I have gone, although I didn't start using the runnersworld journal until Jan. 13. I have jogged 700.29 miles, and walked 10 miles for a total of 710.29. I still need to go out today, though. Don't think I'll be able to catch up with you, but I think that's some pretty good mileage, too!!

Ladies-I have been very depressed, what with money problems (my DH is still struggling with getting the bankruptcy going), eating too much sugar (hard candy!!), the stress of the job, and my stomach problems. I have been feeling like crying everyday. As you know, I already take Prozac, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job---or I can't imagine how I'd feel without it!! I really am feeling like a fat pig that can't stay off the toilet!! I am going to the dr. on Oct. 14 to get more of my prescriptions. I can't afford to have another colonoscopy--I hope he doesn't want to schedule one. The last time it was $700.00 out of pocket, that was WITH insurance!! My DH has sent off for some kind of natural healing book that we read about in the mail. At this point, I'll try anything.

Thanks for listening!! Better go out and try to jog!!

Shelley,
I am so sorry you are having such a rough time. One problem is bad enough, but when they pile up................bummer!!!!

My dad is an herbalist and knows just about every natural remedy there is. I'll talk to him tonight and see if I can give you some ideas that may help your stomach.

I know how hard it is to relax when money troubles come along, but try to do some meditation and affirmations. That always helps me relax and be able to see things in the proper perspective.

Most of all, take care of yourself! Easier said than done, I know;
but try!

I'll be thinking of you and praying for you.

Love,
Ramona

Shelley - I wish I had solid proof of who stole my money. My school is HUGE on "you have to be able to testify to it in court" because we have so many parents who are looking for a quick buck and will sue rather than go out and get a damn job. An example: Last year, one of the pre-K teacher's aides put masking tape over the mouths of two children who wouldn't be quiet. (The teacher had stepped out of the room to converse with a parent in the hall.) Now, of course, what the aide did was COMPLETELY wrong, and she was fired immediately. Now, however, one of the parents is suing (sueing?) the school district for 30 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!

Shelley my heart goes out to you. I wasn't aware that you were dealing with depression. Make sure when you see the dr in ocober you let him know how you are feeling.....maybe you need an increase in meds or a different type. If there is something I can do for you please just ask.
We are so fortunate in canada we don't have to pay to see the specialisdt or dr's and almost everything in medical tests are payed for. The only thing that we have to pay a portion of (20%) is our medication.
Your mileage is great specially since you jogged it. WTG!!!!

Have a good day and don't forget to post.

DEE

Dee- Love your pix. Very homey and nice!! Thanks for your hugs!!
Sherry-You are doing great!! Wow 9 lbs. gone! That's fantastic!

Afternoon Everyone!!:cb:

I was busy this weekend, just like everyone else. Had to go back to work this morning, just to rest. :lol:

Dee....I love the pictures of your basement. I kept looking for you and Larry sitting and having a drink with an umbrella in it.

Shelley... Hope you are feeling better today. Please go see your doctor and tell him everything. Sometimes we need a little help getting through rough times in our lives. {{hugs}}

Sherry....WTG GIRLFRIEND!!! 2 more pounds...you are doing great!! Just 25 more days until our little trip. I'm so excited!!!

Gayle.....How was your trip? We want all the details about those cute guys with the tight racing pants. LOL

Jennelle....In our school system, we can't search a child either, but sure can make them empty their pockets in front of us. I have caught many kids stealing from me like that. Hope you find out who did it.

Ramona......How are you feeling? Please take care and get some rest when you can.

Debyj.....Ok...I have decided that I have been lazy long enough. Going to set me a walking goal for October. I'll be joining you girls soon. :goodvibes:

I weighed in this morning and I am Down 1 more pound!! That's 4 pounds in the last 14 days. Not bad huh!!! Well, I'm very pleased with myself!!

Now for the walking and water intake, my two hardest things. But going to start working on those things tomorrow.

Later floozies..Have a great evening!! :dance:

:dancer: Deb:dancer:

(((((((hugs)))))))---shelly!!

Oh lordy, i know how you feel!! Every time i'm anxious or worrying, my stomach goes to pot!! Call your doctor. and don't try and herbal stuff if you are still taking prozac. Sometimes that stuff doesn't mix well. Sounds like you might need an antianxiety med---something like low dose xanax. I took it for a while when i was having anxiety attacks and it really helped without making me feel drugged out. Please take care!!

Hey everybody else!! Well, i have to put walking on hold this week. You know how they say your dog takes on the personality of it's owner??? Well, i'm a spazmastic cluzt and so is Max!! So, he tripped over a hose and sprained his knee. We had to go to the vet today which was a trip in itself. The vet told me he cannot run and play for a week. That's like telling a small child not to play!! So, he is stuck up under me for a week. Of course he is loving it, but there is dog hair flying everywhere!! :eek:

Soo, i will try and ride the stationary bike, tomorrow. I'm too tired today!! Lugging that dog around!!----later girls--debyj

Howdy :wave:

I hope that everyone had a great OP Monday!! :D

Debbie****WTG on another lb.!!! Four lbs. in 14 days is great!!! Better then me!!! You go girl!!!! :cb:

Gayle****Are you home yet???? I miss you & can't wait to hear about your trip!!!!

Shelley****Did you call the Dr. today & make an appointment? I'm worried about you.Take care sweetie.:grouphug:

Ramona***** Did you rest any this weekend? Try to find a couple of hours just for RAMONA!!!!

Debyj***** Oh poor Max!!! Give him some TLC!!!!

Dee*****I loved your pics!!! It's so pretty & comfy!!! Thanks for sharing them with us!!!!! It makes me want to start painting again!!

Jennelle*****Was your day better today at School? Did you find out who the theif was? Set up a trap! Maybe you'll catch him/her!!!

Vicki*****Where are you??? Hope everything is ok!!! Please post soon.....I miss ya!!!!

Carol*****Please come back!!!!!!!! I miss you!!! If you're depressed about your weight, we'll try to help you!!!

Better go & take shower & wash dishes.

Love & Hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear):cool:

Oh BTW: If you get a chance, please go to our October Walking/Exercise thread & look at my NEW BANNER I made!!! I think it turned out good!!

Just wanted to let you know that I cleanned up the albums and labeled the pics so you would know what everything is. Go to album 1 then after you have seen that one look to the left hand side of the page and go to Gecko's grill. For some reason when I cleanned up the albums and renamed it the #2 album doesn't work unless you go to the side.Hope you enjoy it. We sure had fun planning and building our paradise.

DEE

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you all miss me???????? :lol:

Not enough time to post right now, but I did want to let you know that I survived the trip and am now back home working my butt off trying to play "catch-up" from our fun time!!!! I will post more later today!!!!!!

Dee: I did check out your pics and your basement is so CREATIVE!!! I love the funky mirror in your bath!!!!! The collection of sand is such a neat idea, I bet you love your home!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!

Well Dudettes, I must get in gear and get something finished!!! Love, Gayle

Hi there everyone :wave:

Well today is tea time day. It is always enjoyable when a bunch of us girls get together. I look forward to it every week.

Today was my last day of home care. My lovely Ann was wonderful. I have had care for almost 2 years and that was longer than they usually provide it. I guess I will be back on duty. Tis a shame that I am like Sherry a perfectionist.

Jennelle I hope your week has been better. That is terrible when someone steals from you.

Sherry your doing great. Nice loss this week. Now go lift a 10 lb bag of potatoes and lug it around for 5 minutes. That is just about how much you lost. Difficult to carry that weight isn't it?

Debbie you are also doing very well. A pound is a pound is a pound. What day is it that you and Sherry are going to Fl? I am just to lazy to do the math.

Gayle glad to see that you are back and that you survived the trip. Don't you just hate that when you get back you have so many things to catch up on.

Debyj sorry to hear about poor Max. Didn't realize that could happen. Give him all the tender loving care he needs.

Shelley how are you doing today? Hang in there, it won't be much longer til you see the doc.

Well I got to go get ready for tea...talk to you all later.

DEE

Hi everyone!
I hope you have all had a good day.
Welcome home Gayle!
Shelley, how are you feeling?
Dee, your house is soooooo cute!
Debbie and Sherry, ya'll are doing so great with your WOE!!!
Deby, take care of that pet; they are so much like family!
Jellnelle, did you find out who took your money?
Vicki, I hope your sister is recovering well.

Do any of you put things on e-bay? I finally signed up today. I have some jewelry and a lot of Dept. 56 items that I want to sell. If you have used it, have you had good success?

OK all you Tennessee people, Arkansas is coming to town Saturday night!! We're going to get our butts stomped in the ground!!! LOLOLOL If last Saturday's game is any indication, it is going to be a loooooooong season!

Take care everyone,
Ramona

Ramona Gayle has been on e-bay, she can help you out.
Good hearing from you.

DEE

I don't know, Ramona....Tennessee is having a pretty rough season, too. They're winning, but just barely. Did you see that AWFUL Vols/Gators game? YUCK!

If it's any consolation, I feel your college football pain. The Gators are playing my beloved Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday, and we're gonna get stomped.

Ramona: Most collectibles will sell with or without the box. You will get a higher price for the item if you still happen to have the COA if originally sold that way and the original box. Email me with any questions at ghall@dodgecity.net

Well, my washer & dryer bit the big one!!! The washer went out and needed to be replaced. Then we figured up the years on the dryer and decided to splurge and purchase both in one shot, plus my Mothers dryer just went out too, so we gave her the old one. After a small fortune, I am now the "laundry queen" worked on the stuff all day today, cleaned out the laundry room, moved out the old and replaced with the new, then on to washing, washing and washing clothes!! Seems like we can never get $1.00 ahead!!!!! Do you guys all suffer from the "brokes" too???? So many things that I want, just never enough money to go around.

I will try to post later!!!! Love, Gayle

Mornin' :wave:

I didn't get to post last night because Chris came home for dinner and he had to use my computer for a report.

Drew had his first School bowling match yesterday afternoon and I'm proud to say that the little bugger bowled a 243! His average is 183 and he's only 14 yrs. old!!! Do I see a future Pro-Bowler???!!! :lol:

Gayle.....I'm so glad you're home & had fun!! Hey...you haven't mentioned those racers in those tight suits!! Were there hotties??!! We are like you.....paycheck to paycheck! Never anything left over! And if there ever is....Something around here brakes or falls apart!!!

I will post to all of my other FLOOZIE FRIENDS tonight after our bowling league!! :D Gotta get to work.

Have a GREAT OP day!!!
Sherry (sher-Bear):twirly:

** Thought of the Day: Think twice before you put something in your mouth! Ask yourself: Do you REALLY,REALLY want it????

Hi ev eryone

I am here-just lurking-nothing new to report.
Just enjoying reading what's going on in your life's

later

Hi Girls!!!!!! I usually try to not brag on my kids to much, but I am so excited that I wanted to share!!!! My oldest daughter that is 17 and a Senior has been picked out of 6 Seniors in the district to attend a Student Leadership Conference the first part of November. It is an all expense paid trip to Lake Geneva, WI and Chicago IL. the kids will attend the 2 day conference then have a full day of sight-seeing in Chicago. Now for the biggest news!!!! I can't remember if you guy's know, but she is also involved in an explorer program working with the EMT/Fire department. She meets twice a week for classes and get's to ride out on calls. Well, the college is offering a local EMT class that she is eligible to attend. Because she is still in Highschool, the County will take care of the class cost and she will earn 6 college credit hours. So, basically we will only need to cover the cost of books and supplies. The cool part is that she graduates in May from High school and will also take her EMT testing the same month!!! Money has been very tight at our home as of late and I can not believe how everything is working out!!!! Okay, enough of my bragging... I just wanted to share!!! Love, Gayle

Gayle, that is wonderful news! Please tell your daughter congratulations from me. Never be worried about bragging! We should brag on our kids. It's good for their self esteem and good for our souls (not to mention our egos):D
Things always seem to have a way of working out, even when they look the bleakest. I'm always having to tell myself to just have faith!!;)

Give that girl an extra big hug tonight!:grouphug:

How is everyone doing in that game of life we call.....weighloss?!
I feel like I am in a vicious cycle of up and down, up and down:stress: I have started doing the Leslie Sansone tapes 4 or 5 times per week. Hopefully I'll start seeing some improvement in the next few weeks. HEY, you know what else may help? I COULD STOP CRAMMING JUNK INTO MY MOUTH!!!!:no: :lol:

We are expecting a lot of rain from Hurricane Lili. We need the rain, but I feel really bad for all those who will be devestated by the winds and rain on the coast. I think my son in San Antonio will be inland enough that he won't be in any danger.:^:

Talk to all of you later.....
Ramona

Gayle that is wonderful,you deserve to brag. Oh I am so happy for you and your daughter.
GTG
Dee

Gayle: That is such wonderful news!! Congrats to YOU & YOUR Daughter!!!! :) How exciting!!!!

Vicki:Are you ok? You sounded depressed & I was just worried.

More later....About to leave for my bowling league.

Sherry (Sher-Bear):cool:

Ramona,

Hang in there & try not to worry so much about your eating.Take one day at a time.That's wonderful that you're doing the Leslie tapes!!! :) Hey....why don't you join us on the Walking/Exercise thread??? We would love to have you PLUS it really helps me to stay motivated!! Stay strong & don't give up! You can do it!!! :)
