Tashabella – Yes I know what you mean… when I first came out to California, I got a nice welcome message. I came to California just in time for the Landers earthquake. That was a 7.2 back in 1992. No little shake to welcome me, had to go all out and give me the big welcome hehehe. You never get used to them tho. But I’d much rather have the smaller ones everyday than big ones every blue moon heheh.
Dogpal – happy Birthday :) Doxiemom – I have a water phobia. Pools I can handle, but if I can’t see my feet forget it. OH! And you won’t get my on a boat. I’ll have a heart attack first. It stemmed when I was younger, a friend of mine drowned when we both fell out of a boat on a lake. For those of you who live in Ohio, I believe the lake was called Buck Creek??… Anyways it’s been with me for a long time and I get sick even thinking about getting on a boat. I can go to the beach and put my feet in the water up to my ankles, but that’s about it. I got goosebumps just thinking about it :lol: Julee – Hey yeah I tried Coca Cola Zero and even Pepsi One. Where do you buy the Crystal Light to go packets? I shop at Stater Brother, have yet to see them. You shaking and rattling with me too huh? Hoping things calm down. A lot of earthquakes recently. They say you only get about 2-3 5.0’s a year, and we have like what? 5 in the last week. :yikes: Tommorrow will be the first day for me to get in the pool. I’m looking forward to trying it out and see how many laps I can do. Been a busy weekend. I bought my father a drill at Sears for fathers day and then I bought James a Circ Saw. You know there’s a story behind me buying the circ saw *GRIN* one because he wanted one, and two because I want a deck built around my pool :lol: am I evil? When he opened upt he gift and saw what it was, he got this cheesy grin on his face and he said thank you, and is this a hint :rofl: Doing some digging tommorrow about a feet of trenches. Let me rephrase. The trenches will be 2 feet deep but about 100 -150 feet long. Need to do this so we can lay wires for the pool and have an electrician come out and hook it up to our break box. Then I’m going to go out and sorta mark off an area where I want my raised board garden to be. We also have a guy coming out to give us a quote on a brick wall and a cement driveway. Still got a lot of stuff to do yet to this backyard but we’re getting there :) Good night everyone! Sue… |
Lots to say
I've been up since 3-something. We have a neighbor that keeps fighting with men and she wakes us up all the time yelling in our stairwell or out in the parking lot. Tonight she came home with a new guy and got out of the car yelling "I want my money." She usually tells the guy next door the same thing during their fights. I know she is an alcoholic and drug user (I heard them saying that the last time the police came), but now I'm starting to wonder if she isn't a prostitute. It would all be very interesting if she didn't wake us up in the middle of the night all of the time. We've called the police and written letters to the apartment management company, but no one will do anything about her (she has a child that she drags around so they feel sorry for her ~ I feel sorry for the child). She isn't even supposed to be living here (she sleeps with the guy who lives next door). I've even bought ear plugs, but unfortunately I didn't have them in tonight! And what also bugs me is we are being charged "Cat Rent," for the "space" our cat takes up ($15.00 a month ~ no lie), but she and her kid are living here rent free and constantly causing an uproar. So that's why I'm up so early (again).
I woke up feeling like my fat was smothering me. I can feel it around my neck and head and it feels so heavy right now. I'm the type of person that if I don't watch and count every bite of food that goes in my mouth, I gain weight (I am not exaggerating). I have already gained back almost all of the weight I recently took off (all but one pound). I feel like my body is suffocating me and I can't take it anymore. Right this minute, I am recommitting to changing my life. I can't keep living like this. There is a better life ~ all I have to do is decide to change. I'm going to start analyzing my actions and asking myself "Is this what a healthy weight person would do?" If the answer is no, then I'm going to have to do something else! This has to end! I went to my parents' house yesterday and my dad and I (he showed me how) put in new spark plugs and changed the oil in the car. I don't want to get overexcited yet because I don't want to jinx anything, but the engine light has not come on since we changed the spark plugs. They were in pretty bad shape and we're thinking that might be what was causing the problem (if they aren't working properly, the engine will flood with gas, apparently). Cross your fingers, or keep saying your prayers for me, that this is the solution. I'm praying that it is just that simple. Before we changed the plugs, I had to get a running start to get up a hill, and then the engine light would start flashing and it would start chugging. Now it is going by itself. Thank God for my dad. He's getting old and probably won't be able to help me much longer, but I sure appreciated his help this time. I went and bought him some things he needed last night for Father's Day and I think I'm going to take him some flowers today when we take him to lunch. I think every guy should get flowers at least once in his life. Dogpal ~ Sorry I missed telling you happy birthday, but how about this? Happy year! I hope this year will be the best for you and that you will meet all your goals! Brandnewme ~ I'm sorry about your uncle. Make sure you take some time to rest and recharge. SueMarie ~ I could NOT live in earthquake territory. I don't know how you guys do it. It would make me a nervous wreck during the little ones not knowing if it was going to be a big one. The biggest thing we have to worry about is the possibility of a tornado maybe once a year (and nothing usually happens with that). I guess you guys have a plan for dealing with the earthquakes though. Anyway ~ just be safe!!! Welcome to the newbies! Everyone else, congratulations on your exercise and weight loss achievements! (Now let me go and change my signature ~ again ~ to reflect my recent gain :dizzy: .) |
Don't take this wrong, but I hate Father's Day. It just reminds me that mine is gone. He's been gone 19 years now. He was 47 when I was born, and was the only decent thing I had in life growing up. When I hear my mom complain about her father being dead, I think to myself that she had 34 more Christmases and Father's Days with her dad than I did. I am grateful that he never saw me this huge, but at least I know that if he had, he would have still loved me unconditionally.
Missmeliss-I'm counting the days too. An editor from Scholastic said Friday that this book will answer tons of questions. Since she only has two left, I figure she better starting tying up loose ends. I've got to go walk the dog. Man, when basset hounds give you a look, they can really bring it. |
Tashabella: Sometimes it CAN be the simple things when it comes to cars. Last week in my car the steering would lock up everytime I turned on the air conditioner, and it made this ungodly loud squealing sound. (not fun having to drive in 90 degree weather with no air conditioner) I thought for sure it was time for another hugly expensive repair on my car, but in truth it just needed a belt tightened! Keep hope!
So anyway, yesterday wasn't the best for me. It started out with homemade icecream. If you've ever had it, you know there's nothing quite like it any where. It's incredible! I haven't had it in years, but we were all at my dad's house yesterday and they made it and I HAD to have a big bowl. I mean I probably won't get another chance to have any for a long long time. Then, his wife made some awesome potatoes fried in real butter and, well....I ate those too. Then it was coleslaw like my mom used to make when I was a kid...and friend chicken...and more fried potatos...and after all that, when my tummy was full and sticking out I had some evil soda to wash it all down. Bleh...and the scale says I'm 2lbs up today. Of course, it's probably MOSTLY water weight. My problem is that my greatest asset to willpower is my laziness. I do NOT keep fattening goodies in the house at all, so if I want to eat yummy fattening things, I have to get up, get dressed, and go somewhere. Or stop on my way home from work and walk across a huge parking lot in the blazing heat and have to deal with a bunch of annoying stupid people and...well it hardly seems worth it. The only time I'm strong is when I am in the grocery store and I bypass all those yummy things I want, but refuse to make part of my everyday diet. After that I leave it all up to laziness and my dislike of heat and the general public. But when someone goes to all the effort to do all the shopping and making and even puts the things in FRONT of me.....Oi! |

Hi Girls,
Angie & Hippievanlady, I'm sorry about your losses. There's nothing anyone can say that will really make it 'better' but at least you know there are people here that can and will listen no matter what. I don't know what its like to have that type of relationship with a parent, but I do know that even though my relationship with mom is mostly rocky and can be unpleasant, I would suffer greatly if I lost her. So, on some level I can empathise. Maybe you guys can take these sad times to remember your parents in a positive light, however you feel most comfortable. I used to have a quiet, thoughtful day on my grandma's birthday whenever I was still suffering from her loss. Solus&Tasha we will all have those 'bad food days' and in fact, healthy, fit people have them too. The only difference is they are not actively trying to lose weight. I think what counts is how you view and treat those days. If you work really hard and 'take a maintenance break' whenever those special events come up, then you will still be following the plan and you will have nothing to worry about or feel sad about. This works for me. I freaked out about visiting fam&friends on holiday. But, then I said, I will have that wedding cake and I will enjoy all those goodies, and I will have my mom's home cooking (because I haven't had these things in ages!) and when it's all done with I will NOT beat myself up for maintaining or gaining, but I WILL KEEP GOING because this is for life. Maybe this will work for you? I've found that beating myself up only results in a bloody self esteem and doesn't help me in any way. Anyway, I wish you two the best and I hope you will jump back up with enthusiasm! brand new: sorry for your loss! keep your head up! hippygoddess: congrats on sticking to your baby steps plan! Donna: WELCOME! As for me: Incredibly, I survived the 8 mile WALK FOR LIFE in London yesterday. I was close to tears and delirius about half way thru. I became very snappy and rude, and I gave it to DH in a huge way. But, he stuck by me and got me thru. At one point, when I was losing it, he said 'Look, I just don't want you to ever give up. That's all.' That stuck with me for the duration of the Walk. If this man believes in me, why shouldn't I? Granted, my hips were stiff, sore and felt weak. My 'bad leg' was at its worst and my feet were like 2 swollen blisters, but I should be able to believe just as much as he does. I don't care how stupid this sounds, but that 'walk' was my marathon and I'm feeling a bit spiritual about my accomplishment today. Strangely, I don't feel as bad as I thought I would. Just a bit sore and in a daze. We didn't sleep much at all this weekend and only got 2.5 hrs last night. Anyway, this morning scale says I lost 5 lbs - must be mostly all that sweat that was dripping down my entire body. I could've wrung my shirt out and gotten loads of water. It was around 95, but humid and we were walking on pavement and cobblestones. Everytime we came across a stand selling water we got some. I drank most of it and poured the rest over my face and down my shirt. I absolutely cannot believe myself! If someone told me last year around this time that I would be challenging myself like this, I would've laughed. God is guiding me and it feels good. |
Goooooooooood Morning everyone! I am feeling fantastic this morning and I hope everyone else is too!!
Yesterday I went to the my gym for the FIRST time since I bought my membership SIX months ago!! I did 25 minutes on the treadmill, and could have done more but they were closing....so this morning I did something I have TRIED to do MANY times and NEVER suceeded! I got up at 5am and went to the gym for a before-work exercize! WOOOHOOO! I did 2 miles on the treadmill in about 45 minutes. Not exactly FAST, but for me that was a brisk walk. I actually jogged for a while too. It felt pretty good! After 30 minutes I wanted to give up and get off but I stuck to it. I will probably go after work and do weights. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day today! |
That is awesome Solus...don't you just love that feeling of accomplishment :D
Tammara-way to go girl...I eventually would like to do something like that...hopefully my daily walks will help to build up my endurance. Hippievanlady and missmeliss-yeah, so I am also a shameless HP fan...its been like waiting for Xmas lately...everytime I see a pre-sales display I get pouty cuz I want that book now :) Julee-we get a few smaller earthquakes here being near the New Madrid fault, but nothing like what y'all are used to...its got to be scary eeyoredja-WELCOME!!! Hope to get to know ya. brandnewme- I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you and your family stay strong and continue to help each other through. I am doing pretty good...I went to the doctor last week and hopefully going back on the pill will help the hormonal mess straighten itself out until I am healthier and my body can do it on its own (hopefully). I am about to start shopping for a bike...I promised myself that I would get one once I got to 275...and I never thought the day would come...but here I am, 16lbs away from it. Does anyone think I would have a problem getting something like a ladies mountain bike from Walmart? I just have concerns that I would be too much for one and break it and I just can't see spending $300+ on a bike. |
Just dropping in so everyone will not completley forget me. No time for replies, even had to skip on some of the reading, but I wanted to check in and wish everyone continued sucess and to reming everyone of my motto: Hang in there!!! Sometimes that's all we can do, but if we let go of the rope there is'nt much chance. Remember, I'm still around.

Chirped
Well, chickies...the car ran without any problems for about a day and a half. On the way to work this morning, it coughed, sputtered and spit all the way. The dreaded engine light started flashing again too. I'll just have to wait and see, I guess. There's nothing else I can do at this point.
I do have some very serious motivation now to get down to business and lose some pounds. If I have to walk to work, I will need to be smaller and healthier. If things keep going the way they are, I will be walking. I'm going to track the distance in the morning to see how far it is (at least a mile or two, possibly more). Hippievanlady ~ When I was watching my dad work on my car, I kept thinking that he's not going to be here all that much longer. The life cycle really sucks. I'm so sorry you lost your dad. Biggirl ~ I am so proud of you for doing that walk. You are incredible! One of my goals also is to start walking in events. Solus ~ We've been riding around without the A/C too, just in case that's what it is. It was hotter than :devil: last week too! Ageoldie ~ Please keep coming back. I'm going to start exercising again starting today after I get home from work (or sooner if the car breaks down on the way). My lungs are hurting (I have asthma) so I'll take it easy, but I have got to get back on the wagon. Thanks for listening. |
Good afternoon, all! I have actually been kinda busy at work today (for a change)--it's nice though, cuz it makes the time pass by faster. Anyway...
Busy seems to be the word of the week for me. I got home a little before midnight last night (from my boyfriend's house), and I was up at 4:30 this morning to get to work for 6 (nothing unusual about that). But then I actually had work to do at work, and I'm starting up a few projects that will need my attention quite a bit. HOWEVER, I'm leaving on Wednesday morning to go to Georgia with my boyfriend to visit his aunt and uncle, so I'm only here in the office today and tomorrow. I also have to work job #2 tonight and tomorrow night, so who knows when I will actually have time to pack! I think I need to go shopping, too, for little things for the trip (toothpaste, shampoo, etc.). Jeff (the boyfriend) will also be at my house around 4 tomorrow afternoon, so I hope he doesn't mind just sitting around my apartment while I work my second job! So much to do and so little time--and it's going to be about a 12-hour trip (we're driving), so I'm going to need to squeeze some sleep in there somewhere! Oi vei! :dizzy: Food this past weekend was pretty horrendous for me. I won't get into the details of just how bad it was--I'll just know that it's a new day and a new week and I'm back on track--had Kashi cereal for breakfast, an dapple as a snack, and a salad for lunch, so I'm back to doing well. I won't go to the gym today or tomorrow between jobs because I have too much other stuff to do to prepare for this trip. I wish I could get up in the morning and go before work like others do, but then I would have to get up around 3am, and my gym isn't open that early! :p One good thing about being busy--less time to snack on bad foods! However, the trick is to stay AWAY from the fast food while I'm doing all this rushing about. I think for dinner, I'll eat at my restaurant (where I work for job #2), but I won't do the burger or fries or anything--just the steamed dumplings (less than 500 calories for the whole appetizer of them). Alright, time to refill the water bottle--only had 48oz so far today, and only 1.5 hours left of job #1, so I gotta get drinkin'! I'm really sorry I don't have time to reply to everyone, but please know that I am reading, and my heart goes out to those of you in difficult times and/or dealing with difficult emotions, my congratulations go out to those of you staying on plan and doing so well, and my hugs go out to everyone!! |
Hello!
Hello ladies, I thought I had also better check in before everyone forgets that I exist. LOL! As Barb G said, I am still around and read everyones post. I haven't had anything worth 2 cents to add, so I have kept my big old mouth shut! I am happy to see that so many of you are doing well.
I have lost all my motivation and seem to be on a downhill skid, :tantrum: just can't find the brakes to stop this madness. I admit that I am totally out of control with the food and if yelling for help would do it, I would be yelling my head off at this point, but this is my battle and I have to find my way back. Every morning I tell myself today is the day......fizzzzzzzel, hasn't happened yet. So dear friends I won't waste the time and space to cry on your shoulders over my weakness. See all of you later, till then...Iwillbe :wave: |
Good morning ladies – I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend!!! :flow2: Mine was uneventful…as usual…lol. Ricardo and I did manage to get to Home Depot for their flooring sale, and bought some Pergo for the dining area, and the front bedroom that we just have ripped out and re-modeled. Can’t wait to get our ‘Savannah Oak’ flooring put in!!! :dance:
So I can honestly say that I was not 100% OP this weekend. :( I promised myself that I was going to try and be really good – but I got bored and could not stick to plan. I didn’t do horrible, and I made better choices than usual. Ricardo ended up making a pan of brownies (curse him & Betty Crocker). :lol: I just could not resist those brownies for some reason! I’d go in the bedroom to quit looking at them and I swear they were calling my name! :lol: Then yesterday we had a BBQ for my dad for Father’s Day and my brother’s fiancé made some chocolate cupcakes. (How come I have always been able to say “NO” to drugs – but just can’t say “NO” to chocolate???) I will have to work on that! Oh well – today is a new day – and I will succeed! :) For breakfast I had a Light & Fit peach yogurt, some strawberries, and a Slim Fast breakfast bar. And right now – I am snacking on some carrots & FF Ranch dressing. For lunch I have a Slim Fast Meal Bar & I cut ½ an English Muffin in half, added low fat spaghetti sauce & low fat cheese on top & broiled it to melt the cheese and made it a mini-pizza. Yesterday my aunt and I finally went and signed up at the Power House Gym and did our first workout. Since it was our first day there – we just wanted to get acquainted with the equipment. I started off with the treadmill :tread: for 10 minutes, a stationary bike :ebike: for 5 minutes, and the elliptical (which is awesome!!!) for only two minutes - (guess I’ll have to work up my endurance for that one!). After that round of cardio – we checked out all of the other equipment. The layout was nice. There was a row of machines for arms, a row for your legs, a row for your back, etc… We were at the gym for about an hour and fifteen minutes. I have to admit – today I am pretty sore but I like knowing that I am sore because I did something GOOD for myself. :) We won’t be going to the gym today because we don’t want to throw ourselves right into it, and injure any part of our bodies. We are going to go to the gym tomorrow at 5 a.m. before work. :eek: I hope I’m not too tired!!! Lol. JuleeCeeS – I LOVE to shop at Target. My aunt and I usually shop there on our lunches. They always have great stuff – and I can find items just as cheap at Target as opposed to the always busy Wal-mart. I used to be able to buy clothing at Target – but they really don’t fit me well anymore. Once I start losing weight – I will probably shop there though. I am on a budget, and try to find clothes at a good price. (Which isn’t always easy with my sizes.) Fashion Bug seems to be my favorite place to shop right now – though I have been having a hard time finding any jeans there. I can still fit into my 26’s but I know that I should really be wearing a 28. And with me wearing a 26/28 shirt, I have a hard time finding anything that is comfortable. I’ve decided that I will not buy a new pair of jeans or shirts, until I lose some weight so I can fit into a smaller size. :) And I SO understand how you feel about shorts. I’d wear them if they didn’t ride up so darn much. They make me feel silly…lol. Solus – Wow – what great idea! I’ve never thought about selling my clothes on e-bay! I recently participated in a city wide yard sale where I sold a TON of BRAND NEW clothes with tags still on them!!! (I have this habit of buying things I THINK I will wear…and then I never wear them.) I’ll have to keep that in mind once I start shrinking. :D Homemade ice cream??? I’ve NEVER had it – but it sounds amazing!!! Also – way to go on getting into the gym! Sounds like you had a great workout!!! BIGGIRL27 – Thanks so much for the ideas to add a few more calories to my diet. Chicken or Tuna would be great because it would boost my calories a little, and give me more protein. (I know I need more protein!) :) The other day I bought a Tuna steak that was on sale at Kroger. I have never eaten a tuna steak, and I don’t know how to cook it – but I suppose I will look on the Internet and see what I can find. :D And I just have to say that you are amazing! An 8 mile walk that YOU finished! Even when you felt like giving up…you still found the strength to keep going! I admire that! You have every right to feel like you accomplished something, because you DID! :cp: thinthinker – So sorry to hear that your husband did not get the job. :grouphug: I will make sure to keep you and your husband in my prayers. eeyoredjd – Welcome!!! So glad that you found your way here! I am also new to the thread (about a week now). I have been a part of 3FC for about 2.5 years now off and on (new screen name). You will really like it here! Everyone is so motivational! Sounds like you have a great plan going, and a good way to help keep you full between meals! I wish you nothing but success on your journey! I look forward to reading more posts from you! :) MissMeliss – Hello! Nice to meet you! :) Way to go on maintaining your weight, and not gaining! :D brandnewme – I am so sorry to hear about your uncle. (((Hugs))) It is hard to lose someone that you love. You are a wonderful for sticking by your father’s side, and helping him through this tough time. I will keep you and your family in my prayers tonight. Tashabella – Sorry you have such lousy apartment neighbors. When I lived in an apartment, we went through the same situation with certain people. They didn’t live in the same building, but there was a lot of fighting outside during the night. We had to keep our windows shut most of the time. I hope the landlord will try to correct this problem soon. hippievanlady – (((Hugs))) to you! Though I know this doesn’t make things any better/easier, your father sounded like a wonderful wonderful man. jillybean720 – I hope you and Jeff have a wonderful time on your trip to Georgia! I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard that it’s beautiful. :) Enjoy the drive and be safe! To anyone I missed, I hope that you are all doing well, and I hope that everyone has a wonderful week! Later! Kari :wave: Something to think about for Motivational Monday: "If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." - Vincent Van Gogh |
Jilly, you should stop by and say hello on your trip to GA. I live near ATL. Is the concert there?

Good Morning Ladies - I'm Back!
Did you ever have a vacation that you just wish you could backtrack and take over again? Not because it was so good that you want to do it again, but to change it into something worthy of the name "vacation"? First, I was incredibly late on Wednesday, the kids and DH were at each other's throats and I got to get calls from my best friend (mother of one of the kids) and play peacemaker once I got there. That should have been a warning. We spent an ungodly amount of money and managed to miss every single one of the classes we wanted to take. The man who sold us the leaky $600 tent left us three cans of waterproofing spray and kept his phone off the whole time! :mad: Then, Friday morning at 4 a.m. I get a phone call from my friend and her neice has been killed in an accident. :( They came up to get their daughter and, while they were there, my little cocker spaniel was attacked by a big dog who pulled loose from the stake it was tied to and tried its best to divest my baby of her skin. :eek: An emergany vet visit and $737 later and she is going to be fine, but we had to come home a day early because she couldn't be out in the dirt at a campsite. The poor baby is shaved and stitched and probably feels even worse than she looks. At least the owner of the big dog wrote us a $750 check to cover the vet bills and said she'd gladly pay any other's that are incurred. (And apparently has the means to pay the bills-Thank God! It would have emptied our savings entirely!) And there will be more bills...we have her at our vet today to check her out! Finally, on the very first day, I got an incredible sunburn while putting up the tents - before I even had a chance to unpack the sunscreen - and after suffering with it for three days and just when I started tanning out and though it might be okay, it broke out in tiny little blisters that peeled and peeled and peeled....I looked like a leper! Oh well...life goes on! I can't say the trip was all bad...but the bad certainly outweighed the good this trip! On the up side...although food was BAD and I just ate whatever I wanted, I only was 1 lb up at the WI today. :goodscale I'm not changing my tracker though, because I honestly think it is mostly water. I drank practically NONE while camping....mostly soda, and on Friday night a significant amount of home-brew! (Brewing is a big past-time in the SCA...I really needed it and it was Free!) ;) Anyway, it was hot and humid and we walked TONS, so I suspect the burgers and fries got wore off and water is making the scale unreliable right now. I'll count the next WI as official after a week back on track. I've missed entirely too many posts to try to respond to everyone, so I'll hit a few highlights and hope the rest of you will forgive me for skipping you! Tashabella: I'm so sorry the car is not working out well...if it helps, what you describe sounds a bit like the fuel pump or lines or filter...none of which are too awfully expensive, especially if you can find a shade-tree mechanic who'll work cheap. But ask around...maybe you can get those kind of things looked at inexpensively. Meliss and Catherine: I can't wait! I love Harry Potter! I remember when the books first started coming out and all my friends were talking about them, I couldn't understand why any adult would like to read a child's book...but eventually I bought the first one to read to my son...and ended up reading it twice...one chapter a night to him and the rest quickly myself. I actually read Order of the Phoenix in ONE DAY! I picked it up about 8 a.m. and didn't put it down until I was done, after bedtime! (I'm acually hoping the new one is a little shorter! :lol: ) BigGirl: :bravo: What a HIKE!!! Good for you for finishing! Solus: I have exactly the same problem when it comes to eating at other peoples homes...I do okay at home, even ignoring the fattening food that's there, most of the time. But have a friend set a cake or bbq or fried anything in front of me and the diet is toast! I've decided to not look at these things as a failure on my part, but as a normal part of life. After all, thin people eat fattening things too. The trick is to go back OP asap! BandNewMe: I'm so sorry for your loss! No matter the circumstances, losing someone is always hard. Dogpal: Happy Belated Birthday! :balloons: Well, I know I'm missing tons of folks like I said! To all you new folks: Welcome! :wave: This is really a great place to visit! Heck, you may even want to live here! :D To everyone else: Congrats to the losers and maintainers! :cp: Those who are struggling - Hang in there! You can do it! :coach: Best wrap this up before everyone else posts and mine is obsolete! Have a happy, healthy OP day everyone! |
