Serenity I used to sell tupperware back in the early 90's loved it but Dh did not like me doing it.

Meme...you must be crazy going in the direction of a hurricane!

YappyHappy I caught your fatigue.......thanks


Hey Freddie......not many nightowls a posting eah?????

Joanne..the men folk will enjoy there time alone!

Ally..what stuff....you all try so much I can never keep tack of it. Did I tell you I bought a balck pair of Birkenstock (Footprints line) boots! A Whoppen 230.00 may never where them..hummmm..I have to take my Bostons back the toe is hitting the end and it hurts.

Anagram- Be positive about your weight loss. I know that a change in medication causes problems when you are trying to lose. Just be real careful and you will probably maintain and even lose. I am going to try and be careful these two weeks away. I just have to make sure my sister doesn't cook. I think I will do most of the cooking with my brothers help. His wife works all the time so this will help her out.
Candice- I am getting the treatment now,which I expected,that is supposed to make me real guilty for going away for 2 weeks. I have it all arranged. He can put a TV dinner in the oven or my son can come over and cook. I can hardly wait to get on the plane.
Effenbee- What makes you a devil?????
Bye...Joanne

When you are as old as I am, you are allowed to be a little devilish. I am still having trouble with getting to this site. I couldn't this morning and now it is 3 pm so it only took two tries.I gained 0.25 pound at weigh-in today so I lost my traveling gift, as it is called. Must maintain or stay the same for 4 weeks and then you get to keep gift. The last one opened had $10 in it.

Freddie

Well here it is almost 7 pm in Virginia and it took me 3 tries to try to get here, and here I don't have those cute devils and things. Maybe I should try the other place - if I can get there at this busy time of the evening. It's almost 4 pm in the Western part of the USA. I never understand GMT but I know that it is supposed to be the most accurate (but I believe it's 10 minutes off the correct time).

I sent a long message and then got this message back:

My old message was completly gone. I quit

Freddie, FNB, Effenbee

Effenbee- Let's see if you are older than me.. I am 69. I'll be 70 in March next year. My brother says I am older than dirt. But he is just joking. I can give it as well as take it. Don't worry about the weight . Just keep trying...It might be a water imbalance. ...Joanne

Hehehe. Got you beat. I was 79 on my last birthday. Now I can't make a smiley face but here goes a frown and that goes double for my swollen feet and ankles

Thanks for your note Joanne. I will try to remember March 2003 but I wouldn't count on it. My memory is shorter than I am. Another frown

Freddie

Freddie, I think that it is absolutely fabulous that you are willing to use a computer at 79. I hope (if I ever get there) that I will be like you. I hope your Dr. appointment goes well for you as well. Please don't give up trying to get to us. Freddie, sorry you lost that award. My goodness taking a med can do that to me. I can't seem to lose anything much. I stuck to ww for 6 mo and lost 12 pounds!!!!

Now Joanne can't claim the grandmother of the board award any longer Joanne, I think you have met your match!

Candice - I have never sold tupperware, but I sure have a lot of it. 35 yrs. ago, I had a tupperware party and sold over $500.00. Got a cooler and a cute little picnic basket. I just gave the picnic basket to my daughter. It is an oval shape, with a wooden lid that open half way, and the sides are covered in red and white large gingham. It is trimmed in wicker. It is almost an antique!!!!

Meme - Hope your day hasn't left you frazzled

Mima and Ally - hello. Hope you gals are keeping well.

Krickett - have we lost you?

Anagram - that is how I lost my 12 pounds, .6 and .8 every week, and then maybe 2 pounds and then back to .8 and .6. That is very frusterating.

Hope you all had a good day.

Dear Canadian:

Just watching a show on PBS about how good the Canadians treated the Americans that were "stuck" (not correct word) in Canada on 9/11/01.

I usually use TV to help me go to sleep by but this one really kept my interest. So here I am and it's almost Midnight (12 am) here in Virginia.

Tell Joanne I did not get into the computer world until I retired in 1988 from NASA (formerly NACA). I think my son was in town (he lives in CA) and had his lap top computer. Probably an antique now and I wish I had it. Anyway, somewhere along the line I got on the Internet and found a chat site at Harvard or somewhere well-known. Some doctor was writing about his mother and the symptoms she had. It was similar to one of the problems I was having. I emailed him and asked what medicine his mother was given. He e-mailed back and said "Prednisone" (? spelling). Anyway my doctor had told me to see a neurologist but the quickest appointment I could get was 3 months from then. Meanwhile my pain got worse and closer together shooting through my head. Finally it got so bad that I asked my GP to prescribe Prednisone. He said "No". The pain got worse each day until it was coming every few seconds. He finally consented to give me 5 days worth of medicine. The next day I thought I was cured but that was not to be; however, the pain was less frequent. By the 5th day, the pain was gone. I kept my appointment with the neurologist but he couldn't find anything wrong with me. It was then that I decided I had to buy me a computer and get on the Internet. My son was in town and he called his earthlink so he could sign me up. Every thing I wanted was already taken. Finally he was about to give up when he said "I am California Bloch, why don't we try Virginia Bloch" so that is why my e-mail address is [email protected]. It wasn't taken. He is calbloch. I told him that he abbreviated California incorrectly. I guess things could be worse, he could have abbreviated Virginia wrong - something like "virginbloch"

Freddie

It's so good to be home for good!!!We had a cake for a 75 year old scorer yesterday. I'm hanging around with a lot of people who are getting up there in years and they are so active. We all got hired in 98/99 and the same ones keep coming back to work!!!We'll have a lot of birthdays!!!It's finally cool here. I have been doing a lot of walking and will continue to do so . It was so good to read all the posts. I guess you will be ok, Meme. Have agreat vacation , Joanne. You will be appreciated when you get back.I also feel better from my cold!I've got to start on Alison's quilt. We finally bought a whole new st of pots and pans and I'm throwing the old away!!Also using my best stainless utensils everyday and not saiving them for best. Best is now.Bye for now and hi to everyone. Mima

Mima: Are you the old Mima that I knew from years back - maybe 1998, 1999, 2000?

If so WW Hugs; if not TOPS Hugs and KOPS Love,

Freddie, FNB, Effenbee

Effenbee- I can now say that I am one of the young gals on the block. I never touched a computer untill a few years ago my daughter gave me one. It crashed and I convinced my Hubby I needed one to keep in touch with our children./grandchildren.
Happy- You may be right about meeting my match. As we get "younger" we tend to do that from time to time.
Memi -You say home for good. Does that mean you aren't working and have finally retired? Or just for the time being. I have never regreted retiring. I feel that my life is partly my own now. Ofcourse I have often said I am busier than when I was walking the halls doing patient care .
Hello everybody..........Joanne

Meme, Joanne and Anagram - you ladies have a great holiday. I hope you all come back refreshed and ready to go again.

Effenbee - Hope your day is going well.

Candice - How are you doing? You hardly EVER post anymore!

Ally - Same goes for you. I hope you are doing ok.

Mima - Nice to have you back. Like Joanne said, are you really going to retire?

I am back from getting Flu Shot. Stopped and did three errands.

Here I am back with another post

Freddie (who is happy now to be a Senior Member until they [whomever they are] cut me out of 20 or 30 posts)

Snow in Canada has arrived - well kind of short term right now, but it is even early for us. Usually some around Halloween. Anyway, thought I would post a picture for you. Took it this morning before the sun was up, and it has just about all melted now, but it is a warning - it is coming. Some of you don't get this much snow all winter, but for us, this is just a tad or a light dusting.
