Mima, when you were doing the Bible in a year, what didn't you like about doing it? I know a couple of days, I feel like I don't have time to read that much. Too funny about your dreams!!!

Anne, glad that your are having a nice winter! Have fun in Edmonton, and I hope you can get that stressless chair in a color that you want.

Joanne, how busy is it in your area on Sundays? When we were in Tampa last summer on Sunday, there didn't seem to be much traffic. Maybe we could work something out for Sunday, March 2. Our hotel will be on South Dale Mabry close to Bob's brothers house, and if there isn't much traffic, I could find Tarpon Springs. I think.

I took a break from the Y today. Didn't think it would hurt me to take a day off. I'll go in the morning. I went with Bob to take some of his suitcoats and pants to a store to get altered. Since he lost so much weight, they looked a tad sloppy on him. After that, he mentioned Red Lobster, so we stopped there for dinner. We ate plenty, and we still brought plenty home to heat up tomorrow. I love grilled shrimp.

Hi ladies-oh, I feel bad about that man's car and if I had his address I would send him some money-we didn't have any with us. I don't think he would have given us his address. I( still wrestle with the decision we made on the spot.
Tammy, I liked reading the bible in one year-I guess I got lazy. But then we went to a seminar back home and I was encouraged to only read a small amt of scripture at a time and meditate on it. And pray.
The cruise is Feb, 24 so we have lots of time to get ready-But it's flying by. I have so many things on my mind-wedding, taxes, Evan. But today i will get the epidural in my back and someone in Art class had it and said they were in pain after but it was worth it. Told Jill there was a chance I couldn't babysit.
Tammy-if we met halfway-it's an hour and a half for each of us. I said 45 minutes, I think you def should go to Tarpon Springs. If we weren't just coming home, I would go.
My computer shuts off because I have some kind of a worm, I think, Don't know how because I have Norton!!!!!
Bye Mima

Mima, the bible reading is really going well for Melissa and I. We both write down comments and questions, then we compare notes and discuss when we get together. We are going to email when I'm gone so we don't get out of the habit. I agree about time flying by!! I have a list of things to take with us when we leave the 29th. I have a box that I'm throwing things in for the condo. I want to get suitcases out to put things in that we won't need till we get there, and just use a smaller suitcase for our stops on the way there.

I talked to Bob's niece, and she told me it would take maybe 45 minutes for me to get to Tarpon Springs, and she said I could handle the drive!! lol

Went to the Y this morning. It was snowing, and I considered staying in bed, but I was brave!!

Have a good day everyone!

Tammy = 45-60 min. is about right from Tampa to Tarpon Springs.. The traffic is heavy. March 2 sounds good.. I would meet you at the Greek Church if it is after the service. Or at the parking lot right in town.Or at the Kmart lot right at the corner of highway 19 and Tarpon Ave.That is where you will make a turn L to come into Tarpon.It would be nice if Mima could meet with us too...I can pm you my phone number..
Have a Good Weekend Everybody...Joanne

Hi Joanne. I didn't think the traffic would be as heavy on Sunday as it would be the rest of the week. As it gets closer to time, we'll set a time to meet!!! I am excited!!! Wish Mima was closer! I'm so glad we bought the laptop to take on the trip!!

Hi guys-it would take us 4 hours to drive up and we are getting back from our cruise the day before-that's the problem. Next year!!!
Well, the initial shot was no worse than when I get one for bursitis and so far I am not in worse pain than usual. Procedure only took a few minutes/ Brad went looking for the farmers market and got lost so I had to wait for him. I guess I can have Evan today and tonight I will go see Al in a play.
Tammy-your numbers are looking good. Suzanne hooked up with a Biggest Losers forum and is doing WW online and there is a section for brides.
GF called yesterday-I will have her over for lunch in a week. Bye for now Mima

Good morning.

Tammy and Joanne - sounds like you two might get to meet. I sure hope so. Too bad Mima couldn't somehow get there as well. It is exciting. I have met a few of my internet friends and have enjoyed it very much. In fact a year ago, a gal from Georgia came and visited with us for almost 2 weeks. We had a really good time.

Mima - Hope the Epidural has kicked in. When I had one, I had to go to the hospital, where the Anathiseologist had to do it. Then, I had to stay there for an hour after, while they monitored my blood pressure. I don't have have high blood pressure. I didn't find it did much, and only ever had the one. Hope you have better results with it.

Not up to much today. Hope you all have a good weekend.

It seems to have kicked in. I downloaded Explorer 7-my son thought that would solve the problem of it shutting down. We will see. Just catching up today-went to Walmart-should buy their stock. Mima

Mima, how was Al's play? I can understand not wanting to make that long drive right when you get back.

Anne, I really enjoyed the article you posted. I laugh out loud daily, so I guess I'm doing ok. There have been days that I didn't think I'd laugh, but sooner or later it pops out. I've also met several internet friends online. We've met in Indianapolis and Chicago. We had a great time.

Hope Explorer 7 helps you Mima!! I agree about Wal Mart. I'm there at least twice a week.

I spent the afternoon with Tim today. We had a nice visit. We went out for a late lunch and sat and talked. Finally we went back to his dorm and talked. I had only been in it right after he moved in this semester so things were a bit unorganized. It looked great! He does need something on his walls though. I offered to draw and color some pictures for me, but he passed on that idea.

I ate beef twice today, and I plan to eat it again tomorrow. I am going to attempt to give blood again on Monday. I've been rejected twice in the past month because my iron level has been too low. I've been taking a vitamin, and one of the nurses told me to eat beef a couple days before I tried the next time. I am eating all the right vegies, etc., so I don't know what the deal is. I have given blood for several years, and I have never had a problem.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Good morning-so far so good with the computer. Bobby said when he got married he was going to elope. I should have asked him WHEN!!!!!!
We watched National Treasure last night. And I am sleeping better. 7 and a half hours.
Al's play was good-it was pretty adult for high school and she had a small part which she did perfectly only you couldn't hear her because of the music. So we had her say her lines to us. She looked so pretty-her friends help her wirh her hair and makeup. She is almost 18-can't believe it. Started to clean house for company coming this week. And next. We have to go to SS and see where we stand using passports instead of birth cert. Going to lunch with friends after church and Patriots play tonight-last game before the Superbowl. Mima

Mima, lol to Bobby eloping! I'd like to see National Treasure. Tim and his gf went to see it last weekend, and they enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed your lunch with your friends. I'm meeting teacher friends (retired and still teaching) tomorrow for lunch.

Joanne, I'm looking forward to it also. Hope you are feeling better this afternoon. It isn't fun to feel under the weather.

Speaking of weather, IT IS COLD HERE! When I got up this morning, it was 1 degree and windy. I don't know what the windchill was. I was surprised that there were as many people at church as there were.

Since I've been home, I've been lazy. Ate lunch and took a nap. Now I think I'll go read. I don't plan to go out any more today.

Computer being weird still-this time my printer closed and then Windiws SHUT DOWN toatally. And someone is coming to print out their boarding ticket at noon.
Wow for 8 hours sleep-since I got that shot-worth the 86$ copay.
We were going to SS and the bank-forgot it's a holiday-that's what's funny bout being retired because every day is a holiday. And then when you can't do something because it is!!! Well!!
Joanne-hope you feel better. Please try taking probiotics. Even if it's that yogurt they have-unless you don't like yogurt.Sure hope you are better.
Well here's an answer to prayer-at least the start . Suzanne and Jim are going to church and Meranda is too. She loved it and wants to go next weekend. They all helped out at the church supper, I told her it's so great that Jim wants to go to. I waited my whole life for that. And I went through all the things that you guys do abput the disappointment when your husbands won't go. I am just grateful.
We are going to a chile party-I have to eat before I go. It's supposed to be fun!!!
And wow for the Patriots-I had my doubts. Now at least Eli Manning will have a chance-Tammy knows what I am talking about.
We are going to have those monogrammed M and M;s for a favor-Who doesn't love M and M's. I can get the bags on e-bay. The organza bags that you fill.
Suzanne got her invites.
Hey-Eliza-hope you are not working too hard, You, too, Meme. Bye for now-Mima
