Feel free to join our group of wonderful ladies.Come on in.....Give us YOUR motivation,support and ideas.We would love to have you!!! :grouphug:

Don't forget to go back to #64 and read the last few posts there!! :D



Floozies..........Dee needs lots of prayers for her Mom right now.We love you Dee! :angel:

Dee, I'm praying for your Mom right now... let us know as soon as you can how she is. Sounds like she is one tough lady, maybe if she stays in the hospital a few days, she will be on the road to recovery. Let us know.... Hugs go out to you and your family.

Got this in the mail last night of Ben and Denzo. Thought I'd share.......

I just had to share this with all of you. Hope you are having a great day.

For those in the Ya-Ya sisterhood:
1) If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always
be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with.
BUT, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats
your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to
realize that you had set it free....... You either married it or gave
birth to it.
2) Reason to smile: Every 7 minutes of every day, someone in an aerobics
class pulls a hamstring.
3) My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
4) The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
5) The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what
you're doing, someone else always does.
6) Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
7) Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain
consciousness.
8) Amazing! ! You hang something in your closet for a while and it
shrinks two sizes!
9) They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all
that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said,
"Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous
toning?" Clear as a bell my body said, "Listen fatty....do it and die."
10) I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are
eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding?
That's my idea of a perfect day.


Hugs

Carol :goodvibes

By the way,
Denzo is Ben's bomb detection dog. This picture was taken in San Antonio. So far, Ben is what they call TOP DOG. That means is will be the honor graduate if his grades hold for the next 3 weeks.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Good one's Carol. You're a hoot!!!!!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol:


Dee,
I'll be thinking of your mom today. Let us know how she is.

Ramona

Oh poop I just pressed the wrong button and deleted my post.
Update on mom. She did not stay at the hospital last night. Her blood clot and infection has gotten worse. She will be needing to go to the hospital 3 x aday every 8 hours for iv for the infection. She will also need a shot in stomach every day for the blood clot. She went in this morning for her iv at 8:00. She isn't home yet. I know that she also had a ultra sound this morning for her blood clot. They live in the country so I figured that is would take 6 hours or more driving back and forth 3 times a day. I think that she should just stay there. She hasn't even come back from her first iv yet and it is now 2:00. Time for the next one. My sister in law who is a nurse said that she didn't think that they would let her come home be cause with just walking to the car the blood clot could travel and become very dangerous. We will see what will happen.

We are still planning on going away tomorrow morning. I will try to post again before we leave for california. Take care and thanks for all the support.

Ramona your sonis very good looking.

Carol I could you a good laugh about now. Thanks.

DEE

Dee: If I may ask, why are they not just keeping your mother in the hospital? Sounds like she's stubborn or they are lacking in areas. Just my opinion, but this is serious business. Let us know if anything changes. {{{HUGS}}}

Ramona: Your son and his partner are very handsome!!! You should be so proud of him!!!!! I bet Ben and Denzo have became a very good working team and best friends!

Carol: THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!! Maybe instead of Ya-Ya names, we should come up with Fla-Fla names for all of us Floozies???? BTW: My Ya-Ya name is: "cute as a bug in a rug"!!!

If any of you have veterans in your family, Walmart is doing something cool!!! You can take a pic of the person in uniform to the photo dept. They will print off a copy and also give you a free 5x7 and a picture badge to wear. they take one that is copied and display it on a wall with several other veterans. I am going back later tonight with one of my dad.

SEE YA LATER Fla-Fla's!!!!!!

Hi there
This will probably be the last time before we leave. Mom is vey stuborn and doesn't want to stay at the hospital. They already changed the type of antibiotics that she needs to take. Instead of the ones that they were giving her by iv now they are giving her a stronger one by pill form. She will only be needing to go in to the hospital once a day for the shot for her blood clot. At least that is what they are saying now. They said that the blood clot she has is large and deep. That is suppose to be the bad kind. She sill also need a blood test every day to see how everything is. we are just heading over there for a short visit. I am just exhaused. I think that I really need this trip now. Not quite the best timing but we will enjoy ourselves.
Thank you for all the support, behave yourselves and I will have a drink for each of you on the beach. Anyone want fancy umbrellas in theirs? will that be a strawberry margarita or lime? Beer or wine?
Have a good weekend. we will be home late monday night.

DEE

Dee, drink one of each for me... just forget the fancy umbrella and make mine a double!!!:lol:
I hope you and Larry have a WONDERFUL anniversary and a SAFE trip!!!!!
I will still keep saying prayers for mom....

LOVE YA!!!!!!

Where is everyone???????????

I have absolutely no energy today! I tried jogging 2.5 miles, then had to call hubby to come and rescue me. I had another mess! I wore long biking pants though, so you couldn't tell as I was walking back, but it made a mess. I am going to start biking and/ or going back to my video exercise tapes that keep me at home near a bathroom! I just don't want to get back my thunder thighs, and the jogging is the only thing that has ever worked for my legs!:(

Dee- I hope you are having a wonderful time! I said a Mishabera last night for Irene.

Carol-Really loved your post!!

Sherry-I think of you whenever I DON'T clean my house. I really need to today, but I just can't seem to do it. I am going to just lay around today between taking Becky to ballet classes and Nutcracker rehersals. I did clean my bathroom though (had to after my little episode.) Isn't that disgusting???????? I feel like a baby!

Well-I'm going to lay down. Everyone have a great weekend!

Hey Ya'll :wave:

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days.I have a BAD cavity.I have been putting off going to the dentist because the pain has been coming & going.But now it's hurt for 5 days NON-STOP!:(

Today is such a beautiful day!!! :) It's about 70 degrees and sooo nice.I'm cleaning house today like it was a "spring cleaning" day!!!

Shelley........Bless your heart!!! I feel so sorry for you.I know that's got to be just awful to have those accidents.Hopefully your tummy will get well soon!!! :grouphug:

Dee.........I hope you're having a wonderful trip.I'm saying my prayers for your Mom.:angel:

I've got to get back to my cleaning.I'll post more to everyone later.

Hugs to all..........
Sherry (Sher-Bear):cool:

Shelley: You poor dear!!! I hope the doc can take care of your tummy problem soon!!!! I suffer from bouts of irritable bowel, which seems to get worse when I get nervous. I can understand how you feel. BTW: My tummy will go into a fit every so often and rumble like crazy! This is so embarrassing during a meeting!!! Do you have this problem too?

Sher: I hope the "toofers" is better! I do need to tell you a story.... my Father would bring anyone home with him if they had no place to stay or food to eat... one Christmas we had a middle aged Hispanic man eating dinner with us. Dad had a toothache that would not go away and it was gradually getting worse. The guy mixed up a paste of black pepper and vineagar, dad then placed it back on the tooth and gum area... after much stammering and gagging around and trying to hold it back there, dad finally spit it out. But, amazingly the toothache was gone and it did not return!!!!

Busy day today, trying to do some cleaning, work on some WWII history about my dad and getting ready to redo a bathroom this coming week.

HAVE A GREAT ONE!!! Love, Gayle

I hope everyone survived the storms last night. Debbie and Sherry, were the Tennessee tornadoes anywhere near you?

I hope you all have a wonderful Veteran's Day. Enjoy your day off for those of you who are off work today.


Love,
Ramona

Happy Birthday Wanda!!

Sherry-I had to work the whole day---the kids went half day.

Debyj-Nice to hear from you!

Well girls, I called the Dr. today and he put me back on the evil Prednisone. 30 mg per day. I should start blimping out next week. Which is worse?? Staying thin or feeling better?? I call it a toss up---somehow thin makes me feel better!! Last time I was on this, I couldn't sleep at night, I gained weight, and was just plain miserable about myself. What a fun thing to look forward to!! I'll keep you all posted on how it goes.

Love to all!

Sherry and Debbie - They had tornadoes in Covington, which is about an hour and a half north of here. How far east did the tornadoes get? Did you guys get any scares?

Shelley - Ugh. I'm sorry about the health troubles. I hope everything gets better soon!

Howdy :wave:

Happy Veteran's Day! I hope that everyone that had today off, enjoyed their day.Also, I hope that you thought of all the men & woman who have or is fighting for our country. God Bless them All.

I spent my day off by doing laundry and finishing cleaning the house.My legs are hurting so bad from working yesterdays game.:yikes: They cramp and ache all the time.Im going to ask the Dr. for some Celebrex or Viox (sp) to see if that helps.


My weigh-in for today: I gained 1 lb.!! :mad: I was at 169. I'm still trying to figure out what I ate last week that was so different! Oh well...It's a new week and I'll just try harder!!

Wanda,
I hope that your birthday was wonderful!! Did you like your B/D banner I made for you? I hope that you will post soon!! :hat:

Debbie,
I'm so glad that we work together at the games.Our laughing and cutting up sure helps our "working our butts" off go faster!! I'm looking forward to coming to your School in the am to get my homemade potatoe soup!!!:D

Ramona,
I forgot to tell you but I think your Son is so nice looking.I know you're so proud of BOTH of them.Have you started planning your Christmas with them? I know this year will be extra special for you.Savor those moments! :angel:

Shelley,
I hope that the predisone helps you.Don't worry about the weight gain or being bloated.It will all go away when you get well and off your meds.Just take care of SHELLEY!!! {{{ hugs }}}

Gayle,
Thanks for the idea of my tooth! But no thanks!! :lol: That sounded so gross!! I don't think I could stomach that idea!!LOL! Yes...it still hurts so I guess I'll be calling the dentist soon!! Gosh, I hate to go!!!!! I'm glad you liked the pic of Chris & Dayna.I'm so proud of him.He's doing so good at college.But gosh this mama sure does miss him!!!!! He comes over for dinner twice a week but that's not enough!!! How are your kids?

Dee,
Are you home yet? I hope that you had a very nice, romantic trip!! How's your Mom? I've been thinking of her so much!! I miss you!

Carol,
I was hoping that I would see a post from you!! I miss you!! Remember, you said that you would start posting!! Hey, I gained a pound...I need a butt kick from you!!! LOL!!

Vicki,

Debyj,
I'm glad that you posted!!! Wasn't that an awsome game yesterday???!!!! GO TITANS!!! Hope to see another post from you soon!!! BTW: Did you get the job at Vanderbilt?

Jennelle,
Were you off today too? This is the 1st time that we've had off for Veteran's Day.It was nice but I wished that I could have rested!!!! I'm glad you posted.I was wondering where you were!! Are you taking your lunches to work again? How's the dieting?

OK...better get busy ironing and get in the bed! Oh by the way....The storms here in Nashville didn't do any damage.Just small counties close by.It killed 13 people about 50 miles from here.So sad.

Hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear):cool:

Here's a funny joke I thought you might enjoy!! :D

The Desert Island

One day, this guy who's been stranded all alone
on a desert island for 10
years, is sitting on the beach when suddenly, a
beautiful woman wearing a
wet suit and scuba gear emerges from the surf.
She approaches the stunned
guy and asks, "How long has it been since you've
had a cigarette?"
"Ten years!" he says.
She unzips a waterproof pocket on her right
sleeve and pulls out a fresh
pack of cigarettes. He takes one, lights it,
takes a long drag and says,
"Oh, that's good!"
Then the woman asks, "How long has it been since
you've had a drink?"
Trembling, the man says, "Ten long years!"
The woman unzips her waterproof pocket on her
left sleeve, pulls out a
flask
and gives it to him. The man takes a long swig
and says, "Man, that's
sweet!"
The woman then starts slowly unzipping the front
of her wet suit, looks
at
him seductively and asks, "And how long has it
been since you've played
around?"
The man, with tears in his eyes, replies, "Oh
sweet mother of God! Don't
tell me you've got golf clubs in there."


:lol: :lol: :lol:

hiya FLOOZIES!

Thank you all for the warm birthday wishes! I loved the banner Sher ty!

I'm working long hours at the dr's office so I might not get to post every day but will be thinking of you!

Tornadoes were here last nite! Hit the apt complex my daughter just moved out of yuk! I knew it was coming though too hot here.

OK so refresh me, what diet is everyone doing? What is working? Any suggestions?

I'll try to check in tomorrow! Group hug!

Hello Floozies!!!!!!!

Wanda: I am on the "seafood diet" I see food and I eat it!!!!! :lol: Really, I try to just do it the old fashioned way of eating healthy, choosing the correct foods, watching my fat, calories and trying to get more fiber in my diet. The past month has been horrible!! My eating habits must of went on vacation!!!! Each day I start anew, but by mid afternoon I can count on having eaten something not very good for this ol' body. I need to just get my act together and "just do it"!!!!

I am so angry I could just scream!!!!!!! :fr: I went to a meeting yesterday morning, returned home, proceded to tear down my bathroom wallpaper, do what repair I needed to the walls, then painted all day. Last night I went to do our club newsletter, after 3 hours of dates, names, everything "just right" I was just getting ready to print it off when a "over run error" popped up??? and I lost everything!!!! I had to dig all of my torn up notes out of the trash and I guess I will try to get it all done again today. I still need to do another coat of paint on the bathroom walls....
LIFE STINKS! :s:

I hope everyone has a good day and if you get bored, your welcome to come on over and grab a paint brush!!!!

Love ya!!! Gayle

:) Honey I am home ! :)

We arrived home last night at 11:00 pm. We had a marvelous time. I am a true beach bum! :cool: We spent hours walking bare feet, hand in hand on the white sandy beaches of california.These were some of the best beaches that we have ever been to! Everything is so green and lush. Their were bird of paradise blooming everywhere. They are my favorite flower. :flow1: I totally enjoyed every moment. We had a yummy seafood lunch on a pier over the ocean with mexican music playing. Went to a crab shack for dinner with a funky decor. We also had breakfast on a sea side cliff with the ocean breeze blowing on us. Who could ask for more? We enjoyed every moment.

Now I am home I know that it is back to reality but just wanted to soak up the memories and live in that stress free zone a bit longer. Sure did miss you all.

DEE

Hey Everyone:cb:

Man...It's so nice to be able to breath!!!!!!I just got home and threw on some sweats!!! My uniforms pants were SO tight today!! Why do I do this to myself!:shrug: I have had it...{it} meaning everything I could get my hands on...LOL I refuse to buy any more uniforms in a BIGGER size. Only one answer for me...lose some weight!!!

Dee... Glad you are home and had such a wonderful trip. How is your Mom? Sherry...did you enjoy the soup? Hope it didn't have too much black pepper in it. Can I come back to work at your school so you can watch everything that goes into my mouth..LOL. Debyj.....How about those TITANS!!! I was so interested in the game Sunday, I didn't realize we had bad weather all around us. Wanda... Happy belated Birthday!! I am still doing Adkins...on my good days. I know it works for me, but I need to stay on it until someday...somehow I reach my goal weight. Gayle.... How is the Beer and wine making going? I saw the kits at Walmart yesterday for making beer and wine. Is that what you are using? Ramona..... When will your boys be home? I am thinking of putting up my tree before Thanksgiving. Jennelle... Tornadoes hit in counties all around us. There are still people missing. So sad!! Carol and Vicki... Where are you??

Got to go and start supper. It would be easier for me if my hubby was fat too...LOL. :lol: :lol: Guess I could sit and think of a million excuses for myself, but no one force feeds me all this junk.
But I will not get depressed ...I'M JUST GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!

Love you guys...debbie:dancer:

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go To #66..........A New Thread Has Been Started!!!!! :D
