Feet pain
 

[/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=Indigo][FONT=Georgia]Hi Angel-lover,

sorry to hear about your feet. I used to get that all the time. Sometimes it gets so bad you can't even walk. I hope your start feeling better soon.
I forget what meds are you on. One is methotrexate isn't you inject it, right?
I am lucky I have been getting better,not hardly much pain.,except if I do to much walking . I always have pain in my inside of my ankle, and some knee pad. Nothing like it was though. I was just getting a shot of Humira once every 15 days, then the doc put me bac on methitrexate. Together they seem to be working well. I hope this continues.
I haven't been here in a while. Alot of problems with my eldest daughter, she causes me a lot of stress, with her addiction to pain meds and depression. I am going to visit my youngest daughter to get away. I am not helping sarah at all, she constantly wants me to make everything alright, But won't take the steps herself to get well. so It will help me to distance myself from her for a week. I just keep praying that she wants to quit like she insists she does, but nothing I can do anymore to help her without enableling her. She won't go to N.A. or therepy.
Anyway The stress is causing a ulcer for me. I have totally blew my diet. Thats okay I can always start again. I am trying to watch what I eat and intend to try to get back with working out and eating proper tomorrow, but, my ulcer hurts so much that I can't eat just low carbs because the food is bad for the ulcer.
Sorry this post is so long. Hope you start feeling better. If you are like me you will invest in a few pairs of comfy slippers.
Bye for now
Hello everyone else out there I see there are new people here.
Immagonndoit, how are you?

[SIZE=4][COLOR=Magenta]Take care all Laura

As you can see I am still messing up with the fonts and ect.
Laura

Anne, I'd love for you to recommend some good graphic sites to me.

I have to add my list of the feet pain this week, don't know what the trouble with mine are, but really hurting this week. I'm having a bad day with fatigue today too, I think I'll go to bed early tonight!

Good morning everyone. Hope you ALLare feeling well, & pain-free. I'm getting a little better, now. Been so rushed, I haven't had much time for posting.

:flow1:

Laura

You're doing good. It just takes a little practice. Remember....the / is only used at the end of the area you want (centered, colored, etc.) Also, where it didn't work is where you just forgot to put it at the end. You can also review your post before submitting it, so you can correct it if you like. Beside the place that says "Submit Reply" there's a button that says "Preview Post". Click on it, & you'll see how your post will turn out. If you need to correct it, you don't have to even go back, just right under the preview will be your post. You can make the corrections, & even click on "Preview Post" again! ;) I do that on every post, unless I'm in a big hurry. Sometimes, I have to correct several times! It also helps me to decide the colors, graphics, etc., I want to use! :D
I'm so sorry about your daughter. As a mother of 3 grown daughters, & son, & can say I've had a lot of different problems to deal with. They were good kids...but, still had their problems, including drug use. Any time you need to talk, whether here, or need to pm me, please know I'm here for you. We all need a good listener sometimes. I'll be praying.

Good to hear from you! Stop by more often. :)

:flow1:

Happy Canuk

Thanks...I checked out the site. They look kind of strange ;) but, I stopped worrying about looks a long time ago. When I get a chance I may try them. I sure have been thinking about the hot wax. :D

:flow1:

Joanne D

That hot tub sounds heavenly! I have a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, & it helps a lot. Only thing, with this RA, I have to have DH help me sit down & get up. That would be fine, only he's VERY hard of hearing...He might not hear me call him when I'm ready to come out! Sometimes I think it's mostly SELECTIVE hearing. :^: Hey, just got an idea....I COULD buy one of those horns used at ball games to honk when I need him! :lol:

:flow1:

Pam

Gonna use your name, if it's ok. Yes, wanta see those graphics, girl! Go to a search & ask for specific kinds....." free beautiful angel graphics", or "free country graphics", or "free animated graphics"....you'll get sooo many to choose from!
How are you feeling these days? Hope you're able to use the make up like you want to for the wedding. I'm praying for you.

:flow1:

Well....I became an official Senior Citizen yesterday(55)! I was kind of depressed...felt like my youth was gone. My children all called & said I sounded depressed...but, I've been going through a lot lately, that I haven't told you all about. Anyway, they thought it was about my age, kept telling me that I didn't look my age, so it didn't matter. The girl that does my hair told me if I didn't tell anyone, they wouldn't know it. Made me feel better. But, facts are still facts.
The managers at the TV station are out of town this week, so I had to work. Normally, I work Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. I went in my office, & there were posters all over the place with "Happy Birthday" on them. :lol: A present on my desk (of course, an angel...& all kinds of things for skin treatment. The Methotrexate & Remicade really does dry my skin out.) Then, the lady who has a cooking show came in with a "mudslide" cake...hmmmmm! Of course, my friend (the manager)called & song "happy birthday". Later, on the evening program that she & I co-host "Tennessee Valley Now"....she called in & song again, while the rest of the staff brought in a cake & balloons, & another present...beautiful flowers. Yes, I'm petted! :D I've been volunteering my services there since '94, when the TV Station first came to town. I won't take money. I feel it's what the Lord wants me to do. I'm able to be there for a lot of people who need to talk. They do a lot for me, though. I have my program..."Vision of Heaven" on Monday nights for free. I couldn't do it if I had to pay for it. Air time is high anywhere you go! They're doing things for me all of the time. With the RA, they're very patient, & let me go at my own pace. I'm blessed. That's enough about myself....didn't mean to go on.

:flow1:

Hello to all! Have a good day.

Hi All!!
Angel you are getting so professional with your postings, they really are superb and whats more you take time to include everyone. Happy Birthday for yesterday! You sound as if you had a lovely time and I am sure it left you with a day to remember, how super.
Been a busy bee the last couple of days stripping tiles off the wall in the bathroom. What a grotty job...... :( I am very very stiff and achy so taking each day as it comes til I see my Rheumy. Does annoy me when I cant do the things I want to get on with. In your head you are sure you are capable of so much but it just doesnt work out how you see it. Anyway I am determined not to be beaten.Right only came on here for a quick look then wanted to wish Charlie a belated Happy Birthday. (Ooooops Charlotte) I will be back later...so be warned... :lol: Pam

I turned 58 on my last birthday. Don't think I am looking forward to reaching the big 60, but like my Mom used to say, they are just numbers. You are only as old as you feel. My biggest thing was when I turned 25. Couldn't get over the fact that I was 1/4 of a century old. Boy how times change :lol:

I will get you a couple of sites to get you started ageoldie. It is pretty easy to find graphics on the net.

I hope everybody is feeling good today and that you all have a wonderful day.

Hi Iamgonnadoit! Isn't that the truth; boy, in our heads we are sure we can do anything we want, but whoa!! when you try to do it, it is a horse of a different color. I am thinking I can go to CURVES, and exercise place, but my daughter tells me I won't be able to do it with the way my lower back is. This makes me mad. Walking isn't so easy, with sore feet and a hip that won't co-operate. I might go try it anyway. When we play, we pay. That is about the size of it.

Anyway, glad you are getting those tiles removed. That will make you feel like you accomplished something. It is hard work, so I hope you are taking lots of breaks in between.

My hubby has been using the hot was treatment on his hands as well. I think he has some arthritis in his thumbs. Anyway, it appears to be helping some.

Ageoldie - here is one of favorite sites. Has tons of graphics.

Here is another. Just go to images in the list.

Hey There
 

Happy Birthday Angel Lover
My goodness wait till you hit 70 and then 71 that I am. I still don't feel OLD. I have my pains like everyone and my bad days too. Don't let yourself feel old. You are a beautiful person. I know that we have never met, but, reading what you do for others tells me a lot. Keep up the wonderful work and let Our Lord take care of the rest.
Happy -I see you are for the Flames. Well I know nothing about hocky,but, I do want the Bolts to win. I have never been to a hocky game. I watched it on TV the other night and I was amazed at the skating skill of both teams. I had to close my eyes when they started fighting though. :lol:
Bye...Joanne

For all the kind Birthday messages! That was very sweet of you all.

:flow1:

Joanne D

That was a very sweet thing for you to say. Believe me, I receive a lot more than I give. I have the desire to help people...just don't feel very qualified.
You sure don't sound like you're 70 either! Which, is just a number, anyway. Like you say, we've never met....but, I believe we're friends...in person or in postings. I'm blessed. I have more friends now that I've found this forum, than I ever had before! I'm glad we found each other again. I've thought a lot about Grasshopper, Silk, & others.

:flow1:

Happy Canuk

Thank you for the card. It was so cute! Very thoughtful of you to make it for me. You have a lot of talent. I'm not looking forward to 60 either...but, don't know anything to do about it. The years just fly by! I remember the day I turned 30. Cried all day!! Now.....wish I was 30! :lol:

:flow1:

Pam

Thought you were cute, didn't you? :D When I was in grammer school, I was called Charlie, & Chuck....mostly by the boys. :lol: They thought they were bothering me, I guess, but they weren't. Mostly because I thought that meant they liked me, & another, I never did like the name Charlotte....so, was glad to be called something else! :lol:
Stripping tile off the walls?! Woman....you're gonna be hurting!! Mostly, be sure to not get anything around your surgery scars...if they're not completely healed...to get infected.
Thanks for the compliment on the graphic work. I enjoy it...& you all are worth it!

:flow1:

HI TO ALL!

Hey There
 

Angel- You are so right! It is just a number. I always say you are as old as you let yourself feel. If we keep our minds and body active we will be able to do more for many years to come.A healthy lifestyle goes a long way. I wonder about Grasshopper and Silk too. They just seemed to fade away. Maybe if they are lurking they will come back to us..
Pam- You will do it!! I was 212 at one time. It took me almost 30 years to make up my mind that I just couldn't keep eating all the fat and what I thought was the good things. I was increasing getting sick. I hurt all the time. I was spending a lot of time in the emergency rooms. Taking so much junk and just generally going down hill.I too could not get into a tub bath. I went back to WW for the 12th time and with no goals ,thinking that that time was just a waste of money again. But, I put on the blinders and threw everything that I wasn't supposed to eat out of the house. The birds got all my stash of baggy snacks. I lost almost 60 lbs.1-3 lbs a week ,one week at a time.I gained a little back when I stopped going to WW. I now go to TOPS . It is a support group.I am much happier there. I still use the WW 123 system. I have lost 20 more lbs. I now weigh 143 at my last weigh in. I am telling you this in the hopes that it may help you. South Beach diet is another good tool. Cutting the carbs helped me a lot. I do eat some carbs now, not many,usually not the white carbs. I try to walk 3 miles at least 4-5 times a week. I now enjoy my bath tub.Long soaks with a good book is just the thing .I have severe OA and the hot water makes me feel so good.
You can do this. I read where you were planning a trip to the States??
If you come near this part of Florida we should meet.
By all. I hope you are having a good weekend...Joanne

Hello everyone
 

]
Happy belated Birthday Angel Lover and Joanne D. I hope you both had a good day for your BD.. I hope you were both pain free, had a good time. :hb: :gift:

There are a lot of new people here who I don't know. Hi everyone. I din't know you,but I look forward to posting back and forth.

I haven't really been posting lately, My 30th high school reunion is coming in July. I have been trying to track down an old friend. This is strange, why, because I have heard 2 different stories about My best friend in school. I asked around at a web site ( for looking up old school friends); if anyone had heard from her, two yrs ago This guy(john) my sister knew Left a post on the message board for me saying she had died. The next thing I hear is that the guy (john) doesn't remember writing the message. So I didn't know what to think. Then I saw are reunion was coming up, so I went to the reunion site and there I saw my friend (connie) on the memorial page. So I emailed the reunion staff and asked them to try to find out if she was alive or had passed away. They e-mailed back saying that they were pretty sure she was still alive. I have connies address now,the Reunion staff sent ti to me. So I am writing her a letter and I pray that she answers it. She has M.S. I will wait and see.
I have a question I've seen on serveral post the initial DH what does that mean. I assume its a spouse but can't figue out what DH means, maybe Dear Husband. Let me know.

I have to go back to the Doc again, this time for pain on my lower right sida and its tender on the upper right side, I don't know what it is, its either my intestines or my liver. I take a lot of meds that can effect the liver. I am a little concerned. I will let you know what happens

Take care everyone, best wishes to all. I hope everyone has a painfree day. :goodvibes :cheers: :sunny:

take care
Laura

Good morning ladies



Hey Pam, good on you, getting all those tiles off. That is some hard work. I LOVE the bathtub. Somedays I do have trouble with it, but other times it is ok. I don't know about where you are, because most places have a free standing shower, but my shower is with the tub. You still have to get into the tub to have a shower. I like this system only because I find it easier to clean the tub than the shower. Sometimes, they do put both in, but most times it is just the one unit. I love a long soak, especially when all my old bones hurt :lol:

Good thing your Mom and my Mom didn't meet :lol: They would have talked forever! She sounds like a lady that enjoyed life. I know my Mom sure did.

Joanne - Hi. Nice to talk to you on both threads. Still wish we could sit down at a real table and have coffee. You are right, of course. Age is only a number.

Angel - we can't stop time, so we all have to "roll with the punches!". The nice thing is, grandmas are ALLOWED to have gray hair, a few wrinkles and be a little rounder :lol:


Joanne, I have been eating well for years. Don't eat much junk food, never have. I do have a sweet tooth, which I have really gotten control of and rarely have that even. I try to watch my portions but still can't lose a pound. It is so terribly frustrating. I can't do South Beach, because it causes my heart to beat irratically even when I take a med for that. The Dr. told me it is a condition known as Acidosis. So, I am at a loss as to what to do. I know Meme says just eat what you want and know you can eat again if you are hungry. Works in theory, just won't let me lose.

My daughter and little grand daughter are coming to visit this weekend. They should be here around noon. Everybody have a great day.

Hi Laura. Nice to meet you. We must have posted at the same time. I hope you can contact your friend. That would be great. I would LOVE to go to a reunion and see everybody. I know that several have passed away and that makes me sad, because they were in their 40's or 50's and that is just way to young.

I hope they can find out what is causing that pain. Sure hope it isn't the liver.

Hi Laura just a quickie to say don't give up on finding your friend, I did. My best friend from school I found last year, 37 years on from leaving school. She had moved out to California in the early seventies and I caught up with her last year. Now we ring each other and email each other all the time. She is moving to Tenessee in the next couple of weeks so its a touch nearer the east coast. I am hoping one day she will go to her sisters in NY state and we will meet up in the City on one of the times I am there visiting my family. That would be great.....

I forget which one of you said that, but boy do I relate. I did too much yesterday and paying for it today, and I really did'nt even have that much fun!

We are getting ready for Vacation Bible School at our church and we do "live" Bible stories for this. This year our theme is Jesus, My Friend. The class I'm in charge of is the story of when Jesus was 12 years old and stayed at the temple and Mary & Joseph had to go back looking for him. We have our "temple" all built and decorated and we have decorated a hall as the area of the caravan. So, I've had a combination of work and fun. But I'm paying for it today.

Anne I can't wait to try out the graphic sites. I've got PSP and took a online course in it and immediately forgot everything I knew.

Angel-lover glad you had a great birthday. I'm 57 and that big 60 seem closer and closer!

Pam, Where in the UK do you live? I live in Dallas TX and my husband has family in Chester England. I will never forget the first time they came to visit, they had plans to be all over the US in about 2 weeks time. They didn't realize how big this country is in space!

Talking about exercise, I do water aerobics every day and it's been my salvation. I usually exercise in a warm water pool, but sometime I get in the cooler water, either way, I can move my joints without pain, and that limbers me up for the whole day.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hey There
 

Angel Lover How cute! Don't I wish I could look like that. If I walked the beach like that ,they would lock me up. :lol: :lol: I am usually in my old shorts and tee shirt with a baseball cap on. I try to be not seen. My time is very personal. Now I have been using the treadmil. Too hot outside.I guess as we get older we feel the heat more. Maybe ,I am just spoiled with the ac.
I haven't learned how to do the grafics. I can't put a picture on as I don't have a scanner. You wouldn't want to dwell on that anyhow.. I do enjoy seeing all the things that are put on though. Now Brad Pitt is really a dream. Tom Sellect is even better..
Hello everybody...Joanne

Hi Y'all! Post 49! Just a quickie...the weather has suddenly gone mad and its now bright sunshine a, heavy and hot. My legs are feeling like ton weights and all I want to do is sleep. What are we like eh? Me, I am a moany old wotsit I know......It is great when everybody is active on the thread...Charlie do I wish I lived near you or what....a DH who is handy, I wish. I watched a tiler do his thing once and he was so quick, with me it will be slow and steady gets there eventually..LOL.
Joanne D, I go to CT and NJ when I am over the pond so unfortunately its nowhere near you or I would have love to have met you for a cuppa.
Ageoldie...I live in a place called Dunstable in Bedfordshire, about 35 miles north of London. Youre right when you say people dont have a clue until they actually go to the USA just how vast it it and how big EVERYTHING is. Everyone else I do hope youre having a lovely weekend and are doing all you hoped to be doing. Catch you all soon. Pam

Hey I think I found how to do it again. The fonts [/COLOR][COLOR=Purple] forget it. Immagonnadoit,
I hope I find my friend like you did. I pray she is alive. You live England. I had a friend who went to England and she had culture shock. She said things were very different their compare to what she was used to. She said that she would have to put money in a machine inside the house to get heat, I not sure what kind indoor thing she was talking about. I know that it is very different living on the west coast compared to the east coast. I heard some people think we are still like cowboys and indians. I guess there are alot more people and things on the east coast. People even where totally different kinds of clothes, this girl Izzy was from florida, if you do not know where it is. It is located on the very southeastern coast. Anyway she said that girls her age (120something) do not wear jeans or very casual wear at least what is considered casual wear for me. I guess its different every where. I would love to go to England. I used to study a lot of your history, from live 800's up to the 1700's It was kinda a hobby. That was a long time ago.

I still can't get the hang of the fonts and stuff so I just won't try it for now. I guess I am not smart enough to get it :dizzy:


Happy canuck,
I have to agree with you guys on thinking we can do something then the next day you really pay for it. I have done that alot. I get stressed out bad about my daughter and boy am I sick the next day really bad, both with and fatigue. I hope that pain isn't my liver either. It isn't as bad like it was,in fact I don't feel any pain there at all today, Who knows whats going on with me. I wil go to the Doc. even though its better.
I really hope I can go to my reunion, but its like a 8 hour ride, if I go I am going to leave a few days early so I can rest, good thing I still have family in California. I can stay with them.

Angel-lover,
Thanks for the info. I thought DH stood for Dear Husband. How was Your B.D.? Can I ask how old you are? I turned 48 in March. What happened to Linus, didn't she live somewhere on the British Ilses( I hope I spelled that right)



Is this working?

I was doing pretty bad on my eating> I gained back 3 lbs. So I have started again. With a eating plan that I can stick to. One that is low fat and low carb but allows a few more carbs like 10 or 15 grams a day. And I added some fruits. I think I told you guys about ths already. I hope to losr 3-4 lbs or 1-3 lbs a week. I want to losr 25 lbs by Sept 12th My daughter Jenny (the one who doesn't stress me out) wedding

fonts and colors
 

undefinedHey I did change the fonts but no color, Well maybe now????


Laura

fonts and color together?
 

Hello, Ihope I figure this our one day, Ate you guys all laughing at me. I am :lol:



Laura

Hi,
I meant are you guys laughing not (hate or ate)
Okay enough is enough. I did it Maybe I won't forget how I did it. I don't understand why I am having so much of a problem with it. V.C.R. and DVD I can program with no problems, but this I( mam having trouble with. :lol:

Last time I'm posting for today. I wrote this with normal arial font.

Bye Ladies

Stirfried! :lol: ....We are laughing withyou!! You can do this!!

Ok...For the above line, I put [B]Stirfried:[B]only with / in front of the last [B]. Then, after laughing, I put [B]with[B]on with / in front of the last [B].

Now....it's the same with everything else. Just type everything you want said in the post. (easier this way). Go back & highlight the area you want changed, & click on what you want. "font" "size" "color" "B" ...whatever. The [] and the [/] will be put in automatically at the beginning & at the end.

I now want to change the font...so I'm going to highlight the whole post. Click on "font" & choose "Georgia".

Ok...now, I want to make the print all red...so I highlight the whole post again, & click on "color" & choose "red"

I want to type the end of the post in Blue...so I just highlight this line...click on "color" & choose "blue".

You can do this manually, but, it's easier with the highlight & faster. Now, I go down to the button that says "preview post" & click to see how it's going to look.
Well...I made a couple of mistakes...so I corrected them & checked again.

Hope this helps.http://img61.photobucket.com/albums/...Lover/char.gif

I am still laughing ....Laura you are so funny. I am not laughing at you I am laughing with you. Sometimes it takes a while for it to sink in but you make me laugh so much. When you master the colour you start that defined bit again.Dont even know how you do that.Anyway catch you all tomorrow. We had a barbi and i have drunk a few glasses of wine and feel a bit squiffy. Catch you soon Pam.....PS. Maybe thats why I was laughing so much..............................

Just couldnt resist coming on now that I am able to use these...http://img70.photobucket.com/albums/...Animation1.gif Anyway talk to you soon, have a lovely day.

Pam

You did it!

http://img61.photobucket.com/albums/...zycongrats.gif

I like them...they're so cute!

[FONT=Georgia][B]Okay, This is how I am doing this. I clicked on enhanced mode, then I click georgia and the (bold) alright now I just previed it. and it shows. [COLOR=Purple][FONT=Georgia][B] as you can see I am still not doing it all right but I am learning. I swear I have never had such a hard time with anything like I do with the fonts and ect.
I think I know how the word(undefined gets in there. I click on the guided mode and right, like this [/SIZE]undefinedDo You see it, Now I am going to try to delete the word undefined.undefinedLets see if this works I am hitting preview now
I will now try it angel lovers way.
Hey guess what angel you way worked and it is sooo much easier with no confusing stuff like undefined or font color and all that added on. Alright everyone Just pray I remember this and it continues to work for me. I master it yet.
Okay girls Now I have been on my modidfied diet for 2 going on 3 days and so far I am doing alright
I started to workout today Just 7 min of cardio and I did some bun and thigh lifts (30 or more) I really want to get that bun and thigh roller they show on t.v. I have based my likts off of that roller, only I use my recliner to move back and forth up and down with my legs and then I squeeze. Boy I hope you understand what I mean. Anyway I sure can feel it in my thighs and buns.. Not much of a workout, but I had to start over and take slow or you know I will end up in pain and that will be it. for a few more days. I may have lost 1 lb in 2 or 3 days. Yea!! for me. How are you guys doing? Seven more days and I go visit my daughter jenny,the one who's getting married. My daughter I keep praying for. It has been so stressful,wondering if she is ever going to get well. She did say she would go to narcotics annyomous. I told her I would go with her.. I know if she start to attend that she will see there are others out there like her, and she will get to know the people and hopefully gain a support system for herself. I know that she has to go to more than 1 or 2 meetings,but hope she will see that it can help after a couple of weeks or so

Take care laura

Pam, CONGRATULATIONS I see that you have done it!!!

Laura, your post was so funny! Yes, we are laughing with you. Most of us have been where you are and it can be frustrating. I remember the first time I tried to post a picture on another site. I had lots of help, but still felt like a idiot!! Just couldn't get that through my head. Finally, I did it, and felt like I had made an amazing leap forward :lol:

Good for you, doing your exercises faithfully. I can't seem to do them. I have been walking up and down the stairs, instead of using the elevator. That is 3 flights at a time.

Angel, as usual, great graphics.

Joanne - the heat just drains me and makes me hurt too much. Like it around 24 or 25 (late 70's to early 80's) That is the most comfortable. We did end up with rain all day yesterday. That was great because we really need it. It has been drought conditions here now for the past 3 years or more.

I am not up to much today. Just washing clothes and straightening up. My daughter and grand daughter (she is 6) were here over the weekend and that was fun. Grandma got to play :lol:

Hope everybody has a nice day.

http://img70.photobucket.com/albums/...s/Hello003.gif
Gee thanks Charlie and Anne for your congratulations, it was lovely of you to post them but I was only doing what you two already do so no major deal. Its been a scorcher here today and tomorrow is supposed to be hotter. After having my surgery it kind of scares me going out in the sun. I have bought factor 60 sun cream and I am using that. I have still gone red on my arms and I was in my friends garden under a shade. Unreal! It is just beginning to cool a bit now and its nearly 11.30 pm. We dont have cool air systems so we just open all the windows and have fans on. Thats one of the weirdest things when I come over there, never having the windows open. I usually end up in the garden at about 6.30 am with my cuppa getting some fresh air. :coffee:
Stirfried you went to town on your colour change today, I am so glad you mastered it , you will putting animations and stuff on next. Well done you!!! Not only that well done to on your workout. Unfortunately the last few weeks seems to have gone to pot with my exercising cos of my OA and RA but hopefully I will get back into it once I have seen the Rheumy next week. I think I am going to go lie on my bed and watch TV for a bit so I will catch you all tomorrow I am sure.http://img70.photobucket.com/albums/...ations/a04.gif

I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of great graphics from you! :D I'm trying to learn to make my own fonts, now. It's going to take me awhile...but, fun to learn something new.

I like your window man. :lol: I'm not up to much today, either. Felt bad today. We spent the last two days putting trusses up for the new roof & I've been doing a lot of cooking & fetching water, etc, for the gang doing the work. Sounds lazy....I'm not...just got RA. :(

Hello to everyone!! Stop by soon.

Pam - it actually WAS an achievement. It is NOT easy to learn some of these things. I remember how good I felt the first time I posted a picture or graphic. It was wonderful! We keep our windows open as well. I do have airconditioning, but it is very hard on my sinuses, and I prefer the fresh air. It really doesn't get that hot here usually, until July/August and then only for a week or so that you really would like air. Mostly it is just comfortable. I live only about 3 hours from a mountain range, so the air cools off nicely in the evening.

Angel - Hope you are feeling better today. Doing anything extra sometimes takes it's toll. Othertimes, it is fine. It is a chance we take, everytime we attempt something. Darn chronic pain just gets in the way of fun :lol:

Hi Laura, hope you are still playing with the colors. That is fun as well.

Well, I am hoping that everybody is having themselves a good day. I washed clothes and mopped the floors yesterday. Today, I did me :lol: Just all those things you need to do - so, I had a personal day :) Now, I am going to go shopping for a little while.

Hello,
I think I will wait a while before I move on to anything that is so challenging. You know me it would take the better part of a year to catch on, no just kidding. I will have to try iy soon.
Girls
I love all your graphics. I would really like to learn.

Today has been a bad day for me. I am really feeling the pain from the little bit of exercise I did yesterday. I hope I can do it again tomorrow. I know what you mean the pain makes it so hard to workout, even though it is suppose to be good for and help the pain in the long run. But its so hard to continue to do it when you are in pain.
I do not go back to the Doc. until the end of June. I am going to tell him to either change my Humira to something else or up the dosage. I take 10 mg. of methotrexate once a week. Every two weeks I give myself a shot of 40 millgrams of Humira.
Thats all for tonight going to go to bed real early tonight. Its like 6:10 p.m. But I am feeling so bad I don't care I just seem to need more rest. I had 12 off and on hours of sleep last night, but still felt the need to sleep, along with the pain.
take care I hope your day will be pain free.
