Support Groups - Cows With Neverending Migraines

JUST IN CASE ANYONE WAS LOOKING FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: I HAVE BEEN SPENDING MY LAST FOUR DAYS WITH A BLAZING EASTER HEADACHE----and i have a question for my other catholic remarried cow {lushcow]-------ARE YOU ANNULLED SO YOU CAN RECEIVE COMMUNION???? I AM NOT AND I AM REALLY MAD AT HIS BOSSINESS POPE JOHN PAUL THE ANTIQUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:OTHER THAN THAT I AM FAT AND STILL HAVE A HEADACHE.glad to see there is some good news around here----peachy's new house,kiwi's cheesecake,wabby's diet,sugar's rhodos-----------naturally all i am thinking about it ME. :mad: :mad: :mad:

And I thought it was all about me, Bagzie. That's what my good friend always says - "well it is all about meeeeee!!!! We crack ourselves up!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry you had a miserable migraine, and sorry the Pope is being so pooopy. I'm sure it's a personal vendetta he has against you. ;)

Does anyone have Milgard windows in their part of the world?? Enquiring minds want to know.

John Paul the Antiquated. I like it. DD thinks it's funny too. No, it's nothing personal, Bagz. Except in the sense that you're a woman. Maybe if you were a virgin mother, he would be more lenient with you.

So sorry to hear you've been migraining. Too many peeps? You did well to start a new thread--in fact you beat me to it. I even came up with a good title. Oh well, it'll have to wait until the next round of tired page 6's and 7's.

Never heard of Milgard. Sounds like that plant disease that's spreading all around the northeast on lakes and rivers.

DD and I went to see The Core today. Pretty exciting, a bit formulaic, but I enjoyed it.

Kiwi

thank you kiwi for your protestian support---i may have to join you soon----American Idol is on soon----and oh yes---it is soon our SECOND anniversary here at 3fc's!!! i just noticed we all joined in May 2001------collectively have we gained more than we have lost-and regained and lost and regained----who can do the math KIWI!!!!!

Well, we lost at least two regular posters, a couple of new people and a handful of dropins. I'd say that amounts to at least a ton.

Oh Bagzieeee the pope lives in an ivory tower and knows nothing of sweet Bagses in their second marriages who live near the seashore and spot whales through the fog. Isn't that poetic? Anyhow .. what can you do? He won't listen. He's an old fart guy. I think it's time for you become METHODIST !!!!

I'm getting excited about the house now. The agent is an insane liar but the house will be good.

What 3 regular posters Kiwi?

Why, I think that would be Frappe, Cranberry and Muffie. Are you impressed? And with my impaired memory, too!!!!

We are having an endless gray wet spring here. I'm going crazy from all the drizzle and wet misty miserable weather. I hope that makes all you ppl who suffered w/ snow all winter happy.

I just don't have a thing to say, but if I think of something I'll be back.:)

I said 2 regular posters; Peaches asked about 3 regular posters; Wabbit came up with 3! Strange how that works, isn't it? :shrug:

Actually I just meant Frappe and Cranberry. Cuz we do see Muffie now and then.

I am blissfully alone for a change today. DH took off early to chauffer his parents to the hospital in the "big city" because his dad is having an angioplasty today. Cross your fingers.:crossed:

And DD spent the night with one friend, then another invited her over today, so she walked from the first house to the second and is whooping it up there. I'm surprised this friend was allowed to have anyone over -- she's the one who had the birthday party the other day. Sounds like it was a loud raucous shindig. The kids ran around outside barefoot playing basketball and other stuff, tackling each other (who knew that was part of basketball?) and getting filthy--some of them bloody. Then some of the girls washed their feet in the bathtub. The birthday girl had agreed that she would clean the house after the party and she had her work cut out for her (although no more so than some afternoons around here with just DD and one of her friends--they are notorious for making messes). But I guess it wasn't too much torture for the parents, or maybe DD wasn't the biggest pain there, 'cuz they invited her back.

Don't you just love the way I ramble on about nothing?

I found a new search engine: mamma.com I've only tried it once but it seemed rather good. Of course nothing can really touch google, but sometimes you need another source.

Wabbit, it's wet and darkish here too. In fact my window frames are leaking again :mad:

Sheesh, I hope this house deal goes through, Peachie. What a pain, huh?

Kiwi

Just cleaning up my kitchen and then it's off to bed to rest up for tomorrow's torture. As if I'll be able to sleep. Think I should ask the doc if he'll do a little tummy tuck while he's at it?:D

Another fabulous, sunny day here in paradise. Too bad the people all talk funny.

See yas! :smug: :smug: :smug:

re search engines: kids doing homework might want to use answerbus.com. Everything that comes up on it is supposed to reliable and useable in a biblography. Of course, not much comes up but so what. Home Depot has classes in things like planting gardens, faux painting techniques and building a deck. Do you think I could build a deck? I don't want weird paint but a deck would be nice. And a hammock. And a leafy tree.

Best of luck, Sugar. Hope you get good drugs.

Oh yes, Peaches! I think you should go to the deck-building class. You will meet some very nice men there. Maybe one of them will build you a deck! Or maybe if you ask enough questions, the instructor will take pity and build your deck him/herself!!

Now, don't get me wrong, I think you're perfectly capable of building a deck yourself. It just sounds like a great deal of work to me, and I think you will be quite busy hanging up that hammock and brewing iced tea and so on.

Kiwi

Sugar P, I'll be thinking of you tommorrow! And yes, I vote for a tummy tuck while you're at it, but then you know me---- still trying to find a nice plastic surgeon for DD to marry. So much more useful than a plumber for a son in law. he-he. Actually, if anyone knows any nice plumbers for DD to marry I'd take one of those too, they come in handy ;)

I have tommorrow off, so you'll just have to hang out here without me.

Hey y'all! I'm fat again now that I'm eating sugar again. Hanging on to 179 with all my might, but I'm drinking my last Cherry Coke right now... at least until I decide I need another.

Bagzzie, DH has an annulment. It was a pain in the booty, but worth it. PM me or post here if you want more info from this side of it.

I gotta go. I used up all my energetic time cleaning the Horror That is My Bedroom. I still have a few hours to go to do it right.

Well, that was fun. I am home all in one piece. Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought but I'm going to fake it so I can lounge around in bed eating bonbons :s:

darling sugar i am so happy for you ---having that over with is wonderful---what is worse than dreading an event--------not much for sure!!!----i have decided to prolong my headache since there is nothing else to do,so i am having terrible sleep disordered nights---the kind where you wake up at five am and use the computer and then go back to bed and have wierd dreams til 7 am and then grog yourself to the shower------------------------------we are having the RAINY grey days of oregon here toooo---right kiwi----------the only good thing will be the grass eventually turning green-------------WHERE is lushnag???----thank you Cherry regarding the annullmentssssssssss-------i didn't know you were Micks as well!!!!! :lol: my headache is interrupting my brain activity---but i think i was planning a party at peachers' new home for all of us----in the winter of course so we can all go swimming!!:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:

Yay Sugar! So glad it went well. Have lots of bonbons and take it easy!

Hope you soon feel better too, Bagz. I've been having a nagging headaches all week too, it doesn't know whether it wants to grow up to be a migraine.

I'm taking girls shopping today. Wish me luck.

Kiwi

I'm here...I have my sore arm and shoulder so I tend to post less.
Bagzie, I was not married bya priest, so i don't have to getan annulment. We're not "good" Catholics. DH and I are the type of Catholics who stayed with it because it makes no difference to us which religion we don't practice. The kids go to Catholic school because it isa great education and a nicer environment. But not that much nicer, there was a hate crime at the school two weeks ago. I was surprised, they called the police, didn't deal with it internally at all.
Sugar, milk it for all it's worth. These opportunities are so rare.
We went to nyc yesterday. We walked around Greenwich Village andSoho. It was fun.
People should post...I'm going to clean. I will catch up as i refresh my list.
1. get book on tape
2. shift wash
3. get kids moving on something productive
4. call video guy
5. put away 10 things in living room
6. tidy computer desk
7. 10 minuters in the bath
8. go through house with trash bag
9. clean out my car
10. 1st floor
OK, I havea plan.
I'll be back with a progress report. bye

ARE YOU STILL IN THE LAUNDRY SHUTE???I WANT MORE OF THE PLAN!!!!-----I THINK I AM DEPRESSED BUT I AM NOT SURE---------- what are the symptoms??? :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Don't get excited about the plan, Bagzie. All it means is she's going through the house with a garbage man and calling the video bag. Whatever. Something like that.

You are depressed because there are not theatrical performances going on. Your children have let you down. They should be putting on shows in the living room like Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland did. You are too easy on them. Get your sissy in there and make them sing!!!! then you'll feel better.

What is that color? It makes my head hurt.

I bought 4 new bras for the price of 2, minus 20% today. I'm the best shopper ever, huh? I also got a pair of Levis, 4 tank tops, a pair of bright orange terrycloth pants and a bikini. Oh, that was for DD, by the way. Only the bras were for me. And I stood by while her friend forked over $58 for a bikini -- I hope her mother doesn't kill me.

How come you get to walk around NYC, Lush? Is this the perk you get for living in NJ? I got to walk around downtown Bangor today in the cold rain. We went in a pawn shop and let DD try out a guitar. The guy in there was talking to some woman about her DH who was in jail. Creepy people.

I keep getting emails asking me if I want my rooster to be 3 or 4 inches bigger. I don't know why. I don't even have a rooster.

Bagz, we're all depressed, aren't we? I hope it is just a temporary thing. Even one of DD's friends just recently started taking anti-depressants -- 15 years old. I would be worried to death if I were her parents -- and not only because she is supposedly depressed, but because medicating her was the first line of defense when she was having trouble coping with things. I've been on them myself, and unless I was in a very bad way, I would never take them again. But of course that's me. :shrug:

So what am I doing still up at this hour? I have to get up early and wave byebye to DD, who is going on a rock concert tour. Or something.

By the way, it is snowing out.

Didn't anyone look at that hammock picture? I thought that was adorable. I'm a sucker for an upside-down cat.

Kiwi

That was "live nudes" green, Kiwi. Lush would know that. She gets around to sophistocated places.

I'm depressed too. I had a bad dream which I will tell you. I was in bed, like for real, when I heard this woman's voice talking loudly saying, "I just gotta say hi to Peaches. I love Peaches." Then she yelled "I'm here Peaches. I got to get to bed but wanted to say hi first." Then to someone else, "Yeah, I'm going to turn the lights off now."

The light I leave on in the kitchen went off, then on and off and on and off. I thought my eyes were open and I was seeing it but I opened them for real and all was normal. Crreeepy.

I loved the kitty Kiwi. I didn't look at it before I admit but now I've printed it and I'm taking it to my co-worker who has hammock and kitties.

One reason I'm depressed is that I've been thinking about that hyenah and imaging things I'd like to do to her. Like flooding her with spam, that sort of thing. Then I think of Herbie and think of things I'd like to do to him and come up with nothing. But I'm really p****d at him and have been frustrated by not being able to express it. I need someone else.

DS is camping this weekend and next and two weeks after that. I'll be all alone. Post. I need company.

Bagz, the symptoms of depression are knowing Herbie.

i'mback. It is hard t o type. my spaces and capitALizaton are off. also, imiss letters. spaces might be a little off, too.
I hardly got anything done on yesterday's list. Today is another day. i have lots of errands, though.
bagzie, if you're depressed, do something. There is no reason to suffer. First, though, try giving up sugar. I think it causes depresson. For myself, i can't be depressed if i'm off sugar.
I'm horrified by the 15 year old on antidepressants. We know of several,too. Among the boy's friends, many are on add meds. It makes them nuts. It does save them the convenience of scoring speed themselves, though.
DD got the dvd set for My So-called life. We've wasted lots of time doing that.
I really have no plan. Maybe someone should come up with one. go ahead. l

Are you still there, Lush? Did you fall off your chair.

Still feeling a bit woozy (is that a word?). Tried to do laundry but lying on sofa is better. Bon bons are gone, I have moved on to coleslaw now.

Today is Mummy's birthday. *And* Mummy-in-law's birthday. What a coincidence.

What a strange dream, Peachy! I have dreams like that where none of the lights work, or I can't walk or I'm standing stark naked in the middle of a crowd of people. Ugh. Dh had a dream last night where he fell in love with an East Indian girl on the bus on the way to a tennis game. He swears nothing happened so I forgave him.

you are all so interesting-----i have never had any antidepressants{although some friends SWEAR by their ---Zoloft??? ---would that be it???ANYway,i am afraid of drugs [except when i have headache and will take ANYthing!!!]maybe some EXCERCISE would help me!!!one of my friends was perscribed a half hour of walking a day for depression-----sounds hard--------i will just blame Herbie----and Hyenarse-------since my headache is gone i have no choice but to have a giant MARGIE!!!!!!! tonight---that may cheer me up----get this----DD17 IS MAD AT ME CAUSE I WON'T LET HER DRIVE HER FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND HOME TONIGHT AFTER THE DANCE [11 THIRTY ISH]---HE LIVES ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AWAY ---THIS INVOLVES A FERRY RIDE,WINDY TWO LANE ROADS WITH NO LIGHTS OR SIGNAGE---IN YAHOO COUNTRY ON FRIDAY NIGHT----SHE SAYS IT'S NOOOOOOOOOOT FAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!- i feel like calling her friend's mother and her friend's boyfriend's mother and telling them --- THAT EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW THEM AT ALL I AM THE WITCH WHO WON'T DRIVE THEIR SON HOME TO THE BOONDOCKS!!!!!-----now how do we like THAT!!!!!!!!!!! blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i was sooooooooo mad at herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad: :mad: :mad: :nono: :nono: :nono: :headache: :censored:

i forgot to tell peaches ----in your dream---the lady calling you was---and i know this for sure-----DUSTY JANE!!!

Bagzie, you are sooooo mean!!!! You want to keep your DD safe - what kind of mother would do that? I remember when my DD once told me she wished I was a barfly like so and so's mom, because then I wouldn't be sticking my nose in her business all the time. It's funny now, but I didn't think it was funny back then.

I've taken zoloft, and it made me fat. Anyway, I blamed it on that - I'm sure it had nothing to do with all the food I scarfed down. It got me through a depressed time, but there are down sides to it. Like it kills any interest in s*x. But then so does depression, so there you go. :dizzy: I've got to agree that 1/2 hour of exercise would probably do you some good. Why don't you go first and tell me if it makes you feel better.

Woozy is definitely a word, Sugar. Ask Bagzie after her second margie. :lol: I'm so glad you had a nice nap, and you're taking proper advantage of the situation. How long do you think you can milk it??

I had a dream the other night that DH was hugging me, but watching some cute bimbo walking down the street. I was mad at him for a couple days after that - just on principle. I'm sure there was some reason it was in my subconscious.

Peaches, how about sending magazine subscriptions to the hyena? how about sending away for a sample of Depends for her?

My DD took me for a one hour massage for my birthday yesterday. It was wonderful, when I win the lotto I'm going to have my own personal masseuse.

The big news at my house is I installed drip waterers w/ a timer on all my front porch flower baskets and planters. I know this won't get anyone else too excited, but I am thrilled. And I did it all by myself.:smug:

I just did a search in eBay for "glass lake binchy" because I want to know what the book is selling for. At the top of the results, it said: "Did you mean glass lake *****y?" heehee

DD17 IS MAD AT ME CAUSE I WON'T LET HER DRIVE HER FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND HOME TONIGHT AFTER THE DANCE
Goodness, I don't blame you for putting your foot down on that one, Bagz. I hate the thought of all those teenagers zooming around late at night.

I feel your pain, Peaches. It's so frustrating to be so p-o'ed at someone and not be able to tell them flatout what sh**heads they are.

Sugar, today is my mummy's birthday!! I think we've been through this before, haven't we? :dizzy: I still have her present here waiting to be wrapped and sent. I guess it would just kill me to do anything on time.

I'm horrified by the 15 year old on antidepressants. We know of several,too. Among the boy's friends, many are on add meds.
Get this: she was put on add meds at the same time! It seems pretty ridiculous to wait until a kid's 15 to decide she has add. She has had difficulty with schoolwork since she was 5. And sure, maybe she does have add, although she is definitely not hyperactive (hence, the anti-depressants?). But I could have fixed this kid myself. She needed her mother to stop giving her mixed messages about how awful it was that she developed so early and she should never never be sexually active and at the same time, why don't you take modelling classes and wear these sexy clothes and isn't it cute that you had a boyfriend at the age of 8? Or was it 4? And the poor kid clearly has an under-average IQ, deal with it. I just hope she survives all the help she's getting.

I have a headache. From going in Bath and Body Works yesterday and trying a couple of lotions. I should sue.

Anyone ever heard of "Good Charlotte"? That's the band DD is going to see tonight. I hope they decide not to get into the mosh pit, but I know that is very unlikely. There are only 3 of them, but I think they will meet some of the other kids they know who are going. No way will they be content to sit in seats, I'm sure. Well, they are big girls, they can stay on their feet, in a surging crowd, can't they? {Insert weak smile here}

Oy.

Tonight, DH and I are going to what passes for a social activity in our depressed and depressing town -- we are going to a financial seminar put on by the company that held all our 401k money before the paper mill went bankrupt (still not up and running, by the way). They are offering a dinner :faint: presumably so we will keep our accounts with their company, I suppose. If it's a good enough dinner, maybe we will.... :lol:

That's a corker of a dream, Peaches. You know, I'm not so sure it was Dusty. It might have been me -- you know I'm always the last one up. And right before I go to bed, I usually go flick the outside light switch to tell the cat to come in. I started doing that when my dog lost her hearing and now it's just a habit, so I do it for the cat even though I call her too. Her name isn't Peaches, but it starts with a P! You're just clairvoyant or something.

Need more coffee. Bye.

Kiwi

Hey, Wabbit, it took me so long to put different colors in that message, I missed yours :lol: Good job on the watering job. You're a wonder.

Bagz, you are so funny!!! Dusty Jane in my house!!!!!!!!!! Oh the horror! I don't think it was Kiwi though. I've heard her voice.

I am ready to live in my new little house. The realtor is no doubt back in rehab and things are not moving forward again. She is such a nut. Isn't this a NICE COLOR???

What kid are you talking about on antidepressants? Did I miss something? Are you talking about the boy who killed his principal and himself? The paper is full of sad things. Not my paper. My paper is happy.


Bagz, you are entirely right. It's YOUR kid who is your responsiblity and you have to take care of her. Maybe he could get a cab.


magazines for hyenaharse sound great! All kinds.

you just don't read my posts until I make you, do ya?

Listen, Miss FiddleDE DEE, if you're posting as the same time as me, why the heck aren't you on IM? Then I can pick a fight with you easier.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now tell me if I'm wrong if I don't go to my mother-in-laws birthday dinner with my hubby because I'm very very very (did I say very) upset with him because he decided to neglect our family for a night of drinking with his buddies....(he didn't even call or come home)...

by the way, a little background info:

married, 4 kids 3 b/1 g (w/ringlets), 2 jobs, p/t student

busy, busy, busy

i am flattered that you are asking our advice---no one likes us here at fattyhens------i say tell your dh that he can bring you home a doggie bag and then he can sleep in the doghouse,and if you like,TELL HIS MOTHER ON HIM!!!!----now i have to go drinking margueritas and i may or may not come home!

by the way,cows!!!THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR MORAL SUPPORT REGARDING DD----I MUST SHOW HER YOUR ADVICE--AHAHAHAHAHAH----NOT!!!!-----WHERE IS THE ROCK CONCERT KIWONKERS????

I'm having margaritas tomorrow night!

I'm clinging to 179 with everything I have, but with as much as I've eaten since last thursday, I deserve to gain about 20 pounds. After I post this, I will drag my lazy cow arse onto the treadmill and do sprints.

I deserve to gain about 20 pounds. No, no, no, Cherry, you of all people do not deserve to gain 20 pounds. In fact as wonderful as we all are we deserve to all be physical perfection, but I don't think deserving has anything to do with it. :rolleyes:

We had a beautiful sunny day going here, but it's friday at 4:00 and now that my weekend has started, the sky has clouded up and the drizzle has started again. :sorry: I guess the only thing to be done about it is to join Bagzie in a couple margies. Our best hangin' out friends are gone this weekend, so I guess I may just have to drink alone.:^:

You know, I don't have a durn thing to say, but I have 20 minutes to kill before I go home. I guess I could vacuum the office, but Idonwanna. Have a lovely weekend, cowsies and post!!!! I love to check in on monday and read lots of posts. Tell me I need a life. :lol:

Kristie Ann, you should move in with the mil. That was she can watch the kids while you study. The dh is undependable.

My email program did a weird bad thing. It took a message with an attachment I had not opened and tried to send it back to the sender five times with the message "was not opened". It was addressed to the sender and was from "on behalf of Peaches." I caught it because I was working on an email that I couldn't save because "another user had edited the file." These things are evil.

Speaking of evil, I have taken the high road in regards to hyenah, Herbie and another person. I am praying that their lives be blessed and that my feelings toward them soften. This feels much better and is the best thing for me. I know Wabby will approve.

Good grief, that is evil! Almost sounds like a virus. But, you know it might have been that the email was originally sent with a request for a return receipt (it notifies the sender when the email is opened). I never thought of that before -- that would enable spammers to know if you opened their mail and verify that it was a real email address. Yikes!

Cuz I'm a-skeered!

This is my new favorite color.

We had such a good time last night -- totally unexpectedly! When we got to this seminar/dinner, we couldn't sit with the friend we usually go out with on Fri. night; we didn't even get a chance to talk to her, just wave across the room. We found seats next to some other people we knew, right behind a couple DH has known since childhood, so dinner was fairly amicable. Food was a little weird. I didn't dare eat the stuffed haddock because it was probably seafood stuffing and I would have puffed up like a buddha, so my choice was some rolled meat concoction. It was pretty tasty. I dubbed it Mystery Meat Rollups. Sounds like something off the school lunch menu, eh?

Anyway, we listened to the spiel, which was actually pretty interesting, they answered a lot of questions and it was all quite relevant and not a big sales pitch after all. Had to do with what everybody will need to do with their 401K accounts.

Then afterwards we decided to get a drink in the lounge, which was pretty empty. DH had already peppered one of the presenters with questions and she was promising him things right and left. Gold account? Sure thing! Discounted fees? No problem! It was pretty funny. A while later all the presenters came into the lounge too and we got into a discussion about different financial companies and it went on about this and that for about an hour or two. Actually very much fun and well worth the inevitable Sam Adams headache today. :lol:

Gee, Kristine, I think you did exactly the right thing -- I hope your DH had to explain himself at his parents'!
And Hi!

Ta
Kiwi

Kiwi I am sitting here with my jaw hanging down trying to figure how in the world that could be fun. Are you nuts? Upside-down-Charlie-Brown's used car would be more exciting.

Do you (not Kiwi) think I could reupholster my old sofa that will be thrown out if not? Or how much do professionals (low rent ones) charge?

going to go look up a label for Kiwi's inability to distinguish "fun" from "trapped."

BTW, the email was from a local government person. The attachment was agenda.

I dowloaded IE 6 and MSN Messenger today and am waiting for something to go wrong, explode or self-destruct entirely. Anyone else have MSN Messenger?

Peachers, you are being sooooooo gracious with Herbie and the hyena. It's the right thing to do. You will be rewarded in Methodist heaven and the hyena will get what she deserves.

Hi to all you other sweet cows! :dizzy: :dizzy:

Sugar, Kiwi and I have IM. Why don't you have IM? Kiwi is never on IM and neither am I but we have it and we'd like you to have it too. I don't have MSN but I have ICQ. I'm never on ICQ either. What is Methodist heaven like? Will they have good snacks?

I have AOL IM, MSN Messenger, ICQ, and Yahoo IM. I'm never on ICQ and rarely on AOL IM, but I'm on MSN at work and Yahoo IM at home.

I have MSN Messenger. Anyone who has a hotmail address (that they can remember....) can easily use msn Messenger. I'll look you up, Sugar. DD thinks it's better than AIM, I don't know why.

I'm so delighted that I freaked you out with my exciting evening, Peachpit. Now you now how nuts I've become with DH out of work and all my flesh and blood friends moved away. Utterly starved for mental nudging.

Kiwi

Aha! As a matter of fact, Peaches has MSN Messenger too, 'cuz she's on my list of contacts!!

Sugar, I put you on my list, but in order for you to see me online, I guess you have to me on yours.

Kiwi

Kiwi - I just wrote you a PM with my hotmail address but you found it anyway. How'd you do that?

I put you on my list.

Now, I'm really confused. I don't know what Kiwi or Bagz are talking about and I have MSN messenger and don't know it.

Bagzie, I don't blame you one bit. This old guy who doesn't have a woman in his life and who lives in a palace is making rules that are supposed to be from God (He who loves us all) and that make you feel bad. He probably has that "if I can do it, so can they" attitude toward celibacy and sex and thinks his mean old rules are just fine.

BTW, at the methodist church they say "You don't have to be a member of this church to take communion. It's God's table, not ours." Bring your guitar and come over. LOVVVEEE YOU!!!!

I'm thinking that no matter what email address you plug into the msn messenger contact finder, it will just add it. I think that if you have a .NET passport (msn or hotmail), it will take it. Of course, anyone would have to have the messenger software downloaded on their computer to use it, but I still don't know if all those contacts would work if the people tried to sign on. So I added the address you gave me, Sugar.

You got it, Bagz, with Sam around the topic of conversation is irrelevant. Your lollipop discussion makes me giggle. I would not want to admit to any unseemly history, but I recall a long-ago discussion of velcro with fondness.

DH is making DD help him play guitar. Speaking of things that make me giggle. She is such a natural, and he tries hard.:tape: Just in case I haven't told you this before, DD's guitar teacher thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread and gives her twice the lesson for the same price.

I'm still in my pajamas :o

Kiwi

Okay, I added kiwi, but I don't remember SugP's hotmail! Mine is jenne1989 at hotmail dot com. I don't let anyone talk to me unless they're on my list- the 1989 seems to make pervs think they're talking to a 14-year-old girl. Sickos.

Bagzie, Peaches, and Lush, are you in?

Oh, Kiwi, if you're still running that MSN club, could you add jenne1989? Pleaaaaase? I don't even remember my old login!

i can't get on no msn around here----the computer is rarely available!!!BUT---i JUST stopped myself from joining WWatchers online!!!!------84 dollars canadian for three months---knowing me,i would quit after three days----BUT!!!! after the 162 i saw on the scale yesterday-------I WILL BE COUNTING POINTS TODAY AND AS LONG AS I CAN STAND IT UNTIL I AM 150 AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WILL ANYONE DO WW WITH ME?????PETER,JOHN,JAMES???????

Cherry - I can't remember my old hotmail address either so I got a new one. I PMd you with it.

I don't have one of those WW gizmos for checking points. I used to have a giant file from Wabbit of the points, but it was unreadable, so I think I chucked it. However,if you like I will be James.

Gotta go out to dinner. Yeah, at 4:00 PM. With all my elderly friends. Seriously we have friends who have to drive back home for 90 minutes, so want to eat early so we're going out.

Will add you, Cherry. Later. Got you on my Messenger now.

Kiwi

He's not on Bagzie's list, but he's the cutest.

I would looooooooooove to get down to 150 again. I was looking at my old university pictures (party 'til you drop!) and I was just a little stick. I'm suprised I didn't blow away in the wind back then. How depressing.

I'll be ww-ing again too, after a week off being an idiot with my diet. Too much sugar. I'm using a friend's book since she doesn't use it. You can buy the whole starter kit on ebay for about the same as it costs at a meeting, but I haven't taken that step, though. I'll have to do it soon so I can replace my friend's book.

okay my fat apostles,now we must begin posting decent food with LOW points---that will be WABBY's job--- I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET HASN'T POSTED THE INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE MUST BE A CHEATER SOMEWHERE WE CAN SKANK OFF OF----I STILL HAVE THE BOOK WABBY GAVE ME BUT THE NEW BOOK GIVES YOU LESS POINTS!!!!

Everything you could ever want!

I have discovered that if I pick my scales up and shake them then put them down again and stand on them, I weigh less. Suggest you all try this. Much easier than what you suggest.

I'm at 162.5 today. Gee, that's a whole half a pound less than about 3 weeks ago. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!:mad: I did do upper body weights today though with my pitiful 3 lb dumbells

Couldn't sleep at all last night. *Stuff* racing through my brain and I was freezing because as I discovered this morning, some bonehead had turned the thermostat on the water bed way down. Plus ds7 kept yelling from his room every hour or so that he was scared (there are aliens in the basement, you know). I feel like cr*p. How 'bout yous?

Poor Sug. Nothing worse than tossing and turning all night.

Except maybe eating Spaghetti-Os and meatballs for lunch.

Yup, that comes pretty close!

It's better than the Spaghetti-o's in the cheese sauce.

cherry you are a dream boat----you saved me eighty four canadian loonies!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo NOW WHO IS COUNTING POINTS WITH ME????:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm eating yogurt for lunch today, how's that?

DS and I just had fresh raspberries mixed into peach yogurt. Yumm yummm yummmmmmmmm. For lunch, I had a turkey sandwich from subway. I ate the meat and veggies with fork and knife and tossed the bread. For breakfast, I had orange juice. For dinner, turkey (bought cooked breast) with some unselected veggies. How many points do I get?

I went to that dotti's site, but you know what I wanta know is -- how do I find out how many points I can have in a day anyway? If I'm gonna swipe the point lists, I might as well go all the way.

DH roasted a chicken on veggies for us for dinner.

KiNotSoWi

I think Cherry knows how many points you're allowed. Doesn't it depend on your present weight and how much you want to lose?

I actually lost a couple pounds. Don't know how. Giant salad with chicken breast for dinner last night and two ibuprofins for breakfast this morning because I have a :headache: that feels like it's going to turn into a :headache: :headache: :headache: if I don't get on it right away. I hate that.

Have a wonderful, slim day, cows!

I don't think I'd loose weight if I ate 10 points. I am still a tank. Is this fair?
However, I believe that you can't go wrong with 22-25 points.
I'm still going to Bulges. Wabby, do you still go?
Poor Sugar with a headache looming...I hope you dodge it.
I'm off today and I have accomplished exactly one thing...a phone call. What is wrong with me? I am so unmotivated. I even have a decent book on tape...but I can't get myself going.
Maybe I'll take a nap.
Here's my list:
1. get quilt
2. push dog off recliner
3. sit on recliner
4. put on Law and Order
5. sleep until 2
6. frantically look like I've been busy
7. Greet children when they get home
8. make dinner
9. Greet dh upon his return
10. tell him what a hard day I've had.

I also plan to watch Friends tonight and maybe go to Curves. I am a busy girl.

Please don't try to do too much at once, dear.

Headache has been banished to a tiny corner in the back of my brain :yes: Yay.

Shrimp-stuffed soul with baked potatoes and stir-fried vegetables for dinner. Points please.

Sugar, I have a :headache: too. It was a bad, bad :headache: yesterday, but it's been demoted to a small one in my left temple, which depending on how my day goes, could become a nasty :headache: again or it could go away.

I'm exhausted just reading Lush's list. ;) I think everybody needs a nap day occasionally. I went home from work yesterday and layed on the couch the whole evening with my blanky. I got up long enough to put in a frozen lasagna and that was about it. DH has been living in his garage lately, building a new motor for his race car, so I've felt like I live by myself. Every couple days he feels guilty and he takes me out to eat.

Geez, even I'vebeen bored by this post. I'll come back if I can think of something to say. Don't hold your breath.

ARE YOU CRAZY WABBIT????YOU ARE OUR BEST LINK TO WW---YOU KNOW EVERYTHING---TELL US SOME GOOD SNACKS WITH LOW POINTS!!!!!![oh and sarry about all the headache problems---mine only took a week to leave----

OK. Let's see if I still remember how to do this..... Good WW recipe - 1 pkg sugar free orange jello, 1 can crushed pineapple, drained, 1 can mandarin oranges, drained, 1 small container FF or reduced fat cool whip, 1 container low fat cottage cheese. Mix together, refrigerate. Use jello mix dry. I can't remember how many points, but it was low, depending on whether or not you use FF or reduced fat coolwhip. Then of course you can always make the WW veggie soup, which consists of nothing but a ton of veggies, crushed tomatoes, beef boullion. Zero points. Make salad dressing w/ dry italian dressing, but switch the water and oil amounts to make it low fat. Can't remember the points amount on that one ---- see how long it's been since I've counted points? I used to have it all memorized. No wonder I'm fat.

Try www.***************.net -- everything you ever wanted to know about WW points and lots of good recipes.

I'm a little bit down today. Not sure why. Can't put my finger on it. Pretty sure it has something to do with KiNotAWi though.

Tomorrow, May 1, in the day the house was suposed to close. I asked for an extension since no title work has been done, etc. and haven't heard if that's been accepted. Soooo......tomorrow I will attempt to learn it the extension was accepted, and if not, get out of the contract.

What's a point?

Down to 159! I'm getting used to feeling hungry. I suppose there are worse things. We have to go to the ils for lunch and eat white asparagus, which is a delicacy here. That means when it's in season you're supposed to eat it until it's coming out of your ears. Germans are like that.

Big big big hugs for Peachy! How come buying real estate has to be so hard? It's not fair. You deserve the house of your dreams, and *now*. Here's a couple of bananas to cheer you up (1 point each)


:cb: :cb: :cb:

White asparagus? Does that turn your pee white? Probably not... that's the stuff that's never seen the sunshine, right? Much like me.

Today it's back to 35 deg. Gloomy and cold. May day. ?? Oh durn I forgot to hang those maybaskets on all my neighbors' doorknobs. Oh right, I don't have neighbors. All the better. Peaches, will you have neighbors when you get your new house? I don't recommend them. But perhaps they've changed since I last had one.

Well, the paper mill has officially been purchased, papers signed etal. And DH still doesn't have a job. So now we have reached a new depth in depression around here. Not that he would definitely have heard by now, but optimism doesn't seem particularly appropriate, so we're not being optimistic. Goes well with the weather. And I had a filling today. And I have to go back to the retina doctor tomorrow.

Life sux. Oh, and you're right, Peaches, it's all my fault.

Kiwi

KIWI DARLING!!!! HOW TERRIBLE FOR YOU TO BE DEPRESSED!!! I OBJECT!!! SINCE YOU LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS AND ALL,HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT TO MOVING SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU MAY LIKE???? DO WE HAVE TO LIVE IN DH'S LAND----WHY NOT SOMEWHERE NICE AND CHEERY LIKE MYRTLE BEACH???????? I AM SENDING VIBES OF HAPPINESS YOUR WAY===========THIS HAS TO END SOON!!!!! :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :rain:

Kiwi, you have too much at one time. I'm certainly not one to show you how to be optimistic but things never stay the same do they? It will all get better. But since you don't know how or when, it's impossible to feel that's true.

Lots of huggie things like Bagz put in.

(((((((kiwi)))))))

And that's an order!

Let's just look at all these problems (believe me, I have few of my own) as a learning experience that may open up the doors to a brand new life. (Or...lets's just put a piece of duct tape over Sugar's mouth and tell her to stuff it :D )

Yeah, white asparagus is green asparagus that has never seen the light of day. The keep in under dirt and plastic sheeting until it's time to dig it up. It's thicker than green and you have to peel it and the taste is highly overrated if you ask me. Sort of blah. You're supposed to eat it with ham and hollandaise sauce.

Now that I'm back to my normal self again, I may even exercise today. Kids were off yesterday and get today off too - who knows why. They just had 17 days at Easter. Dh has trundled off to work, but will be back at around 1 p.m. so I suppose I better go tidy some horizontal surfaces. Makes people think I've been doing something
