Smilies are by the ones I like the best!!!!!!!!!!

Anne, wonder picture. I actually got the pictures hubby made of me and Sammy back today. He made them back around Christmas but I just last week finished up the roll. I scanned and cropped one to show you all! I had to cut out part of Sammy...she's too big! And she was only 6 mos. old in this picture. (wish I could cut out some of ME!!!) I not doing any good losing weight right now. Got a lot of stress in my life! All I want to do is eat!

Ally...I doubt AOL has anything to do with posting graphics in here. What kind of browser are you running? It may be that. I don't think Netscape works well in here. I used Netscape until they revamped the message board and I've had to switch over to IE now.

As for the woodpecker...I haven't heard it any this week but hubby is sure to wake me up hammering tomorrow morning (or THIS morning!). He is going to built a wall/rail to divide our back deck. We got the stuff tonight at Lowe's. He is going to build it to match what is around the deck and then put a gate at one end. He's puting hinges at the other end and rollers on it so we can move it back when we want to use the whole deck. We got outdoor carpet to put on the half on the French Door Side and I have a table, 6 chairs and umbrella picked out. He's going to go get that tomorrow afternoon. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUTSIDE!!! Now I can go out and take Jenna and have her AND Sammy outside without them acutally "getting together". Sammy can have her own side of the deck, she is so much bigger than Jenna I'm afraid she'll knock her down. I found a tiny little wadding pool for Jenna to put out there. She is going to love being outside. IT WAS 83 DEGREES HERE TODAY!!!

Nice picture Meme. If I ever learn now to scan, cut. paste, and play I will get me a stand in.

I had to give a picture of my driver's license at work and pasted a picture of Raquel Welch over mine. No one noticed for a while, then it got passed around. I am just living that one down.

I wonder if I have my muscles all tense in anticipation of good weather. There isn't any today...it is rainy and kind of cold, but I haven't ached like this in a while. I put on hiking boots anyway and took the dog out twice. Then, my little sugar addicted mind took over and drove me to Penneys where they are having a sale and you have to take the wrapper off a chocolate bar to see how much you get off your purchase. I suppose I could have thrown the candy away......
AND I was only buying sox and underwear for my kids Easter basket. They used to get toys.
I did get PEanut Butter eggs and Cadbury eggs tho. NOt for me....honest!!!!

Candice....does it take a while for the shot to kick in? I am keeping my finger's crossed.

Happy.....I went to K-mart today too and found a cotton dress (better than the one I am returning to LL Bean) for $19. It was probably made in a sweat shop....but it is better than $54 for that LL Bean number. I wish my sister-in-law hadn't sent me the LL Bean cert. I think they are overpriced.

Hello ladies, I have to make this short because I did not sleep well and it's seven am already. I've been on this thing and accomplished nothing.
Meme, you look just lovely and I hope you get to enjoy your new deck w/ beloved.H.
Candice, I hope the shot is taking hold and giving you some relief soon.
As for me, is any one on the Neurontin? So far they do not help me to sleep at night. In the day I could sleep, but that's not what I want to do.
I had some measure of relief of pain in the leg and then nothing. Still walking with crutches and stick.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
bye bye for now.

Phyllis, I have been taking Neurontin for about 6 or 8 mos. and I LOVE it. I take 1-300mg. before bedtime. I was having migraine headaches almost every day until I started taking the Neurontin and now they are a lot better plus my neck and shoulders don't hurt as bad as they did.

Hope you got some sleep today!

It's been real windy here and I thought it was the wind that made me tired in the yard yesterday but the same thing happened again today..and I'm not doing much out there! My blood pressure is low for once wonder if that is causing the fatigue or if the cortisone did it!

Meme...lovely picture!!!!!!!!! Can't believe your DH would let a fox like you sleep alone!LOL Sammy is cute too!LOL

Toots..hope you can get some sleep and the neurontin take a few weeks to work I think! Meme sure likes it!

Ally...glad you found a dress to wear....I still have some coming in the mail to try on. Cute thing with the picture trick! Give us a description of you!

Anne.....your hair is the same color as Sammys!!!!!!! You gals look so young!!!!

Later, no energy, my limbs are like lead!!!!!!!!

I know MEME and Anne have seen this before but I thought I would put it on here for The gals who didn't I'm at least 15 pounds lighter now!LOL This was Christmas if you can't tell and I can't crop anything either!

That old gal is my mom!LOL My hair is pulled back and up in a pony tail! My face is so much thinner now and the wrinkles are starting to show! Oh know..maybe I should gain some weight back

Hi Guys, great pictures!

You all look so young because you are young.
I have a strange story to tell this afternoon and then I have to get. I have been taking the neurontin {reluctantly} for several days. Last night was weird; I found my self half a sleep, placing the bath mat in front of the shower, taking my bath sheet and placing it over the glass of the stall shower and opening the door of the shower, turning on the shower; realizing it was kind of dark and put on the light; then stepped in and when the cold water hit my feet, guess what? I woke up and said to myself, just when did you decide to take a shower in the middle of the night? It was 2 am! I finished showering, knowing that I had been sleep walking.Went back to bed and woke up at 7am. So Neurontin helps me to sleep and walk.
Not sure I like this?

I will start a new thread, as this is getting fairly long.
