Morning all!
I just got back from town, spent another $75.00 on batting, foam, jute,covered buttons, muslim, etc. for under the upholstery on the old car. Yesterday we lucked out and found exactly what we wanted in velvet upholstery material for $40.00. This sounds expensive but it's really not, it would be over a $1,000 to have it pre-made for our car. I'm excited to start working on it.
Isabella, I'm amazed at how much of last years frozen vegetable I have used up. The only thing I have a lot of is the fruit roll-up and I keep forgetting to give them up my grandkids. They'll eat them up quick.

What fun, almost like digging out an old coat and finding money in it.

Have a happy day:wave:

Hi everyone..i just got my laptop back and it seems to be running Aok..im sore and bruised and taking it easy today..being handicapped has its pitfalls.. tuesday as i was going to take shower i got my walker twisted in a towel and lost balance and had a nasty fall..i banged my head and shoulder on the way down with the walker on top of me..the worst was having the medics come to get me on my feet and i didnt have stitch on :o..other than that mr and mrs gimp are fine..hope your day is going well..your gardens sound lovely..ttfn ((((hugs))) rosey :wave:

Hello,

Oh Rosey ~ I am sorry for your fall ~ I hope everything is ok.

Bobbi ~ sounds like you are having fun working on that car. Hope you can figure out somehow to show us pics of it.

Well, days off are over Boohoo ~ back to work tonight. I worked on stuff at home, so it wasn't like I was just sitting around. I just get so much more enjoyment out of the stuff I do at home. Oh well.

Bobbi ~ my going through the boxes was kind of like finding treasure in the old coat pocket. I found a treasure for Corbin. I came across a card that my grandma had sent to me for Corbin a few months after he was born (1998) ~ in it was a check for $10. So I took that over to him. He was thrilled to have a suprise like that ~ you could see the wheels turning as he thought of the possibilities of what he might do with that. I think that Corbin was her first great-great grandchild. I wish he hadn't lived so far away so she could have gotten to see him. She would have been 92 when she sent that. She passed away the beginning of this year ~ she was 103.

Gotta finish getting ready for work.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Take care

Evening all!
My fingers are so sore from upholstering for three days straight. That's why nobody is hearing from me, It's so much fun and I just can hardly wait to get up in the morning and get started. We did run into a big snag, we don't have enough material to do both front and back seats alike. Tomorrow we're driving out of town to a super size JoAnn Fabric to see if we can match the material.
Glynn....How fun for Corbin, how old is he?

Rosey.......what did you decide to do about your tummy surgery?
Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. :hug:
So where's Lynn? Meowee? The rest of the bunch.

Hi ladies,

I had a physical yesterday, and learned the results of my lab work. Ug. My cholesterol is a bit high, as is my glucose. I was told to eat bread, which includes tortillas, bagels. etc. not more that once per week (for the blood sugar). Does anyone else have this issue? I'm not sure what I am going to do for lunches. Any ideas? I am going to try to get the cholesterol down through diet and exercise. I am trying to limit fat, at the same time as limiting carbs. When I was on Atkins, years ago, it was either/or. You ate fat or carbs. Now I don't know what to eat! Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks, Bobbi. If I have to take meds, so be it. But my doc wants to see if I can lower it through diet and exercise for three months then test again. Do you have any issues with your meds? When I see comercials, the "fine print" scares me!

No issues at all, I'm on the lowest dose possible. The statin drug only says not to take if pregnant or breast feeding. HaHa, this is the over 50+ site so not likely. The only other warning on the bottle is avoid large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice?????
I'm going to get started on a dish to bring tomorrow for pot luck at DD church. It's their annual pot luck picnic and there're setting up a special table with DD and SIL picture, flowers and wedding cake to feed the whole church.
Have a great weed-end!

Hello Everyone,

I'm back from all my troubles (for July, add the flu, a missed trip to AZ, and a car accident to all my June problems) & a nice trip to Las Vegas.

I'm READY to get back on-track with my eating. My goal is still to get to 149 by Labor Day. If I don't, I have promised myself that I will re-join Jenny Craig. I would MUCH prefer to do this on my own, but if I cannot, I WILL go back on that program.

Lynn

Hi Golden Girls,

I am sorry to tell you that I have some bad news about Linda (Meowee). I just spoke with her and she has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

She tells me that she is stopping into 3FC every once in a while, so if you want to send her a message, you can PM her.

Lynn

Sorry for all your troubles Lynn, both good and bad. I'm glad to have you back on board at the Golden Girls. We lose so many over the summer and I can certainly see why, I'm delinquent very often too. Who wants to sit inside on a computer when summer is so short, especially here in Minnesota.
Meowee.......We all miss you.:hug:

Good Morning Everyone,

Back on track & joined the Pantry Challenge in the Food Forum. Will be eating all those veggie burgers in my freezer for a while.

Trying to do Jenny Craig on my own. Interesting how we need to learn the same lessons over and over and over and over...

I have gotten away from eating every 3 hours, and from drinking lots of water, and from eating lots of veggies. Of course, as I did that, I also increased my daily carb intake.

Today I begin teaching a new class. This time, I plan to check in here every morning BEFORE I check into my class. I NEED to keep involved with 3FC or I get into trouble.

Have a good day everyone,

Lynn

Good Morning!
I'm busy looking for recipes to use up zillions of zuchinni, I think they take after the rabbits in reproducing, :yikes:
any calorie wise suggestions?

Hi Bobbi,

Our Favourite Recipes thread - page 4 - has Susann's Zucchini Muffins. I LOVE those. Best tasting low-carb/cal muffins I've ever made.
