Hi Angel. Sorry you were having such problems getting into that thread. Sometimes it seems to do that, since they changed servers. I wonder why that is?

Well, it sounds like you have decided to get away. Good for you. Enjoy the weekend. We have had more rain this June than in the past, but we are in a draught so we really need it, but it does get monotenous when it is dreary day after day.

I hope you do ok without your meds. Will it be long before you are able to get them?

I don't know where everybody else is, but hope you all have a good weekend. We are leaving tomorrow and will not be back until late Sunday evening.

You girls can send some of that rain to Tarpon Springs. It rains all around us. Just not here. Back tomrrow Not feeling so good... Have a good time Angel..Joanne

Hello everyone....I'm going out of town NEXT weekend.....for the 4th of July. Don't start missing me yet. Happy Canuk, hope you enjoy this weekend away.
I've been doing a little shopping for the trip. I heard it is very hot in Texas right now, & one of the singings is in a park....so got me a cute capri set to wear. Going to find a matching hat. Gonna look like I'm one of the "somebodys" I'm afraid it would take more than that.
Rain slacked up just a little today. DH is trying to get the roof covered some more with plastic & tarp, so stop the leaks for the other rains coming in. Joanne....you can have all the rain you want!!! I could bottle it & send it....not even have to go outside to get it!

Hope all have a good weekend. Hope all are feeling well. I'm ok....beginning to get fatigued easily, though. Take care.

Hi All!

Saw this thread and Angel's name and thought I'd drop a line or two. I'm okay. Still dealing with the weight and the back. Love that quote Happy Canuck. Might write it down and keep it on the wall or something. Glad to see that you guys are still out there

Deb

Deb- How nice to hear from you again. Welcome back. My daughter's name is Debra. She often signs her name Deb too.Dealing with weight is a life time thing. You will win the battle one day.
Hello everybody. I am really busy doing a little extra cleaning. I am having company (relatives) this week for a few days.Got to do some extra food shopping too.
I'll have to watch my food intake. They eat pretty much like we do so that should make it easier..
Bye...Joanne

Well here I am .....exausted but determined to say hello before I shower and bed. I have been very busy this week sorting out ready to go away and trying to get my bathroom in a usable condition too. The tiles are finished and the new bath is in....painting, lights, flooring, and trimmings will have to wait til we come home. I have been washing and ironing all day and I am half packed. I always take far too much stuff with me...all ways manage to wear it though and do a wash whilst I am out there.

Hi Deb, you obviously know everybody else on here already but hopefully we can chat too. I am an online junkie so I am always leaving posts on here as you will see if you checkout our other threads but have been slow these last few days as I have been so busy getting ready for my trip. Less than a week until the "Big Day"....Ohh!... Joanne I also have a daughter called Deb. Shes really Deborah but hates it. Shes 37 tomorrow. Makes me feel ancient. Its frightening as to where the years go to.I was married at 16 first time round and was sixteen when Debs was born....unbelievable! My grandaughter is 14 in september.

Charlotte enjoy YOUR trip. I really think it will do you the world of good after all the strife you have been going through. You will come back a new woman. I have just been talking to my eldest son in CT on the phone and he said "get out here quick Mum , then we can hand wee Alex over to someone else for a while and get a rest" Apparently hes on the move now and taking up too much of their time and energy. My middle son is out there already for the wedding and the babe is messing up the days golfing...... They were meant to babysit today whilst my daughter-in -law went looking for an outfit but they got out of that one so theyre on duty tomorrow I think.

Anyway, Everybody else, I hope you are all having a great weekend. I will be on at least once more before I fly on Wednesday, then you will get a break before I am back telling you all about my trip.

Hi All,

Nice to see that I was't forgotten lol. My real name is Deborah as well. Mom says it's Debra but when she's really mad it's Deborah. Think that answers that question.

Sounds like everyone is going off for vacation. Sounds like a lot of fun. Angel, hope you have a great trip! You deserve it!

Nice to meet you Pam, by the way. I'm in and out of the boards myself. Post a lot and then get quiet for a while. Your new bathroom sounds nice. I keep thinking that the next time I look for an apartment it has to have a tub. I miss just sitting in a tub. Guess it's a girl thing. Weather has been great on Long Island so your trip to CT should be nice.

Hope everyone has a great week! Debating going to WW tomorrow. Yeah, yeah....how many times have I said that? Just have to take it a day at a time.

Take care,
Deb

Hi all,
How is everyone doing? I am better,I wasn't feeling very good the past week. But I am feeling good today. So I thought to write and say hi.
I got ahold of my friend who I had thought died, she was so happy to hear from me and I her. Although she is in a nursing home right now. She is still ill. They thought now for almost 20 yrs she had M.S. they did a mri and in 16 yrs there is no nerve damage and they haven;t done an mri since she first got sick. So they do not know what 's the problem. Its seems if there is no nerve damage then maybe she should be able to walk. They also removed her hip bone and did replace it, She has a strap on hip so her legs won't wobble all over.

Good afternoon to all of you.

Grasshopper (Deb) - So nice to see you again. Hope you decide to join us on this thread. Sorry your back is still giving you trouble, but by now, it will probably just be there. Did you go to WW today????

Pam - Not long now before you leave. I hope you have a great trip. Glad you got your bathroom done. That must be a BIG relief. I absolutely hate living in a MESS. I would be beside myself, if I was in Angel Lover's position. I NEED to be organized

Laura - nice to hear from you and glad you are feeling better. Hey, that was neat that you found your friend. I hope they can determine what her problem is and maybe help her to get well.

Well, I had a busy weekend. Went to my daughter's and looked after my little grand daughter. Then on Sunday, met some friends for breakfast and sat and visited for 4 hours!!!! Then back to my daughter's and my son and his girlfriend came over. Then FINALLY, back home. Kind of tired today, but had to vote, as we are having a Federal Election today. Now that it is done, I can just relax.

Hope everybody is having a good day.

Hey Girls
Deb- Make that first step.You will be glad you did. The hard part is walking through the door the first night. Try a TOPS group. The first meeting is free. You can follow any healthy plan you want and you will meet some nice people that will give you support. You will be glad you did. It is not as expensive as WW. WW is a good plan. I go to Tops and follow the WW 123 plan. I have finally reached a goal weight I can live with.
Stirfried- Your friend may have been misdiagnosed.. That happens more than we know..Glad you found each other..
Pam-I know of no thing that is worse than living in a house while you are working on it.. I did that once. We redid a bath ,living room,hall, and moved right on to do the kitchen before we were done. What a mess and pain in the neck...I almost had a breakdown/murdered my hubby.
By for now.. I may be MIA for a couple days. I have company coming tomorrow...Joanne

Hi All,

Didn't make it to a meeting today.....legs were really bugging me. But I did get in the pool and do some laps...walking and swimming. Pretty proud that I did that. In some pain now.....just hope the muscle relaxers, etc., kick in so I can make it to work tomorrow.

You're right about the Tops meeting Joanne......lol. How many times have I said I've got to go to one of those? Think they meet on thursday nights so I might check that out. I agree with you on the cost....WW is pretty expensive if you're in it for the long haul.

Hi Laura......don't think we've met yet. Glad to hear that you found your friend. Shame about the misdiagnoses. Hate that...how they just lable someone and move on...no room for second opinions or follow up.

Canuck.....sounds like you got you had a great time . Isn't it funny how time flys? Seems to fly the older I get......

Hope everyone has a great day!

Deb

Grasshopper!!

I'm so glad you found us! Sorry I haven't posted sooner. I've had my hands absolutely full! I'll have to catch up later. Just know I am so very happy to hear from you, & hope you're feeling well!

Happy Canuk

There's nothing like being with those grands! Two of my granddaughters are here this week. We have them every other weekend. Our son is going through a divorce, & has joint custody at the moment. That's one thing taking up a lot of my time, lately. Helping him with court case, & grands.

Joanne D

Enjoy your company!

Stirfried

Glad you found your friend. So sorry she is in bad health. Sounds like she had a misdiagnoses. Sometimes drs ends up making us worse, instead of better. That's sad. I think that happened to me after my injury to my back yrs ago. Best of luck to you & friend.

Pam

Thanks. I plan to try my best to have fun & do some relaxing! I'm getting pretty anxious to go. It's been a long time since I've been anywhere, & been at this burnt/remodeling house for almost 2 years now.

Everyone have a great evening....hello to everyone!

No graphics today

Just wanted to post this site. Great info. for those trying to lose or maintain.

You can buy her diets (she has 6) if you so desire.

Hello friends,
I feel like I've just about desserted you all. Haven't meant to. I've been really busy. I'm not even going to try to tell it all. Would just tire me out more. I've just about got all my packing done. Tomorrow (well, today....it's 3 am!) I'm going to be running around in town, doing last minute errands. I probably won't get a chance to post. I'm going to miss you all....but, I SHALL return! Should be back home by Monday night, so maybe I won't be too dead to post Tuesday. We're leaving early Friday morning.

I hope all of you have a great 4th of July holiday....& most of all SAFE & PAIN FREE!!
