Fibro thread #33
 

Hi everyone. Hope you are having better days. This has been the worst week and it won't go away. The added stress sure causes some pains, but little compared to others.

Mima, Ally - You are right. There are not enough tears for what has happened. They just start out of nowhere.

Meme - I hope you are feeling somewhat better by today. Are the new meds helping at all or just making you feel worse.

Candice - Hello

Phyllis if you are able to read this, please let un know how you and your family are. Your daughter and friends are in New York.

Joanne - Hi, and I sure hope you got some of the rain. It has gotten nice here again and heading up to the late 70 or 80 today. Sure can't complain about the weather.

Thought you might want to have a look at this. It was posted on another site I visit. It is very nice.

You're right Happy.... I forgot about Tootie and her family in NY. Hope things are OK.
Am still bursting into tears.
I hear the regular TV on.....that sounds ODD.
Ate potato salad today, uh oh.

Hey
 

Hello Everyone- Happy we did get quiet a lot of rain. Sadly some people got more than they wanted and have lost a lot from flooding.
I did not pay as much attention to the weather this week as I would have . There were many more things going on in this world more important. I wonder what and where will happen next.
Memetoo I hope you are feeling better.
Hello Mima and Candice.
Bye...Joanne

HELLO
 

I took a break from the news last night to watch a video-The Producers-the original movie of the play that is on Broadway.I got it at the library. I have been searching for a flag unsuccessfully so I hung red white and blue ribbons from my balcony.Going to church this morning soon and then to continue my flag search. Not much seems important right now except our connection with others. My cousin was supposed to come from CA. yesterday but his plane did not leave.I have 4 friends in Italy but they are continuing their plans. When you are on vacation, the real world seems far away. I have been doing a little yoga and it is helping my shoulders but I have to be careful of my ribs. Have a peaceful day and sorry I didn't reply to each one but I look forward every day to the posts. Mima

Hi Mima...I can't find a flag either. I have one from when my father died but it is in a box of things that came home from his funeral and I can't bring myself to go dig it out. That would just get more tears started.
I also kept eating potato salad and finally had to throw it in the garbage.
It is nice to have people to talk to out there in the world. Hope everyone is coping OK.

Hey
 

Hello Mima ,I too just have to take a break from the news from time to time. My hubby and I took our lunch to the beach to eat today and stayed awhile and read and just watched the people and the boats. Then I took a 4 mile walk.
Ally, usually the flags that we get at funerals are really big. We had a olderer one that we put out. We were going to light a candle the other night but as it was windy and we were having a stormy windy night we just turned on the light in the yard. I have watched so much and everytime I see those planes fly into the WTC it seems like the first time. We are still in a state of disbelief. But life goes on.
Hello to Happy,Candice and Memetoo.
I have been trying to pay attention to my health. I hope you all are well....Joanne:) :wave:

Good morning
 

I'm up for the second time-the first time at 4. Boy-Joanne-picnic at the beach and 4 mile walk sounds great.No luck finding a flag but I hung red , white , and blue ribbons. My daughter is going to look today.Mass was so nice yesterday and lots of people there.I have to work tomorrow and Wed.-first grade. That sure can take things off your mind.I put a shutter up outside yesterday!!!Now I have to get some screws that a re actually long enough.And I walked and stopped to visit a friend.Been real good on my food plan-but WW leader is not going to be there so I will go next week. I just remembered-she went to CA. She will have a story to tell. Bye for now-hello everyone !Mima

Good morning
 

Well, I hope this day finds everyone feeling a little better. I think it is time to put life back together. I know that it will be hard, but I find a steady diet of the news on the TV is NOT a good thing. Life must continue on in the same manner as before, or they really have won.

My son came home this week. Took a week off between jobs, so it was nice to have him here. He lives about 7 hours drive from here, and works in Ft. McMurray (the Oil Sands-largest oil base in Canada).

My little granddaughter started dancing lessons on Saturday. She didn't want to wear her leotard and body suit - she screamed when they put it on her (she is 3 yrs old); however, when she got to dancing and saw another little girl wearing exactly the same thing, she was happy. Kids are so funny.

Joanne - a picnic on the beach and a 4 mile walk sounds ambitious. I love the lake, and it is looking so beautiful with all the leaves turned gold. I must take some pictures this week. It really is the prettiest lake. There were still people swimming yesterday, but the day was pretty nice. The nights are sure getting cooler - down to almost freezing.

Mima - good luck with your little ones. That would be fun.

Ally - That is not a very good diet (no food). I hope that soon things will start to improve for you. I heard a physciatrist say that people will feel guilty about being happy and smiling, but that is the first step on the road to recovery, and that it must be done. I actually watched Grumpier Old Men 2 last night and had such a laugh. Walter Matheau and Jack Lemmon were so hilarious; I could only thing that they are both gone now, but sure did enjoy it.

Hi Meme and Candice - Where the heck are you!!!

Everyone have a great day.

Anne

Hi
 

Good Morning- It is a nice morning. I haven't turned on the TV yet this am. I watched Band of Brothers last night. It seems really strange after the past week. My Father was in on the invasion of Normandy. He used to tell me the story of finding a chicken in a French farm yard and cooking it in his helmet. He was a colorful man of French extraction from the bayous of La. Or his father was and he was from South ,Ga.He has been gone many years.
Happy we thought leaving the house was a good way to clear our thinking. We only live 1 mile from the Gulf.
Mima.. Walking is the one thing I can do to give myself time alone. My hubby is retired and wants constant attention. He works in the yard but otherwise has no hobbies and has no desire to have any. My sister and her friend will be here in about 1 1/2 weeks and that will give him a male friend to talk to. I hope he talks his head off.:) My neighbors are very busy people and much younger than we are so we rarely see them. I have found many things I can and want to do as I don't work anymore. There just isn't enough time in the day for them.
Hello to all the other nice people . Ally. Did throwing out the potato salad make you feel like I did when I threw out the ice cream?Guilty for wasting it?:devil: Bye you all...Joanne:wave:

Hello
 

Hi everyone-of course, the one morning I had to go to work-I fell back asleep but I feel rested. Gotta be rested for 6 year olds. Thanks for the joke-Meme.I got a burst of energy yesterday-could have been the allergy pill- and did a whole bunch of work. My ribs are hurting again from doing a yoga video. I always have to try something. The yoga teacher at the senior center said I could have a tear. That would be easier to fix than my shoulder. I am getting sick of this-it's been a year and a half. Like the shoulder.Rambling-hi to all-gotta go. Mima

No guilt about throwing away food. I find strength in that. I also like to be able to throw something away on my plate. I usually lick it clean. That is out of habit, though, not hunger. So I like it when I can bring myself to throw something out.
That is also the only way I know it will not get eaten. And I have been known to try and retrieve things from the garbage so must mix it in with the coffee grounds.
Yes, Happy.....life does go on. For a few days I felt guilty over any pleasure I felt in anything, including eating.
I can't do that forever and once this week found myself actually eating something while watching the news. That means I have become aenesthetized and it is not getting under my skin right now.
I also spend way too much time talking political mumbo jumo at work with men who are itching to go shoot someone....
Gotta stop that too.
Candice and Meme...you OK?
Joanne and Mima.....OUr newspaper printed flag posters for us as our town will be out of flags for a while.

I'm here! Just nothing much happening here. I've been reading everyone's posts every day, though. Hubby and I went to Wal Mart tonight and stocked up on food, water, batteries, etc. and filled up everything with gas. He filled up our 50 gal. drum and all our propane tanks last weekend. We have a large camp stove, a big grill with a burner on the side and a generator in case things go south here. We have such bad winters and the power goes out a lot here so we usually try to stay prepared...thought since everything looks so bad we'd get an earlier start this year. A few years back the power was off for nearly a week here. We have large kerosene heaters, oil lamps and battery camp lamps, too. We also keep lots of bottles of ice in our freezer so if the power goes off everything will keep. When things get bad the kids all pile in here since we have a finished basement and lots of room. We try to stock soup, spaghetti, beans, tuna etc. and keep several loaves of bread in the freezer along with at least 20 gallons of bottled water in the garage. Then, in the spring, we try to use it all up and restock again in the late fall. It is a lot to keep up with but if times get bad (or the weather does, one) it will all be worth it. We spent $300 tonight and still didn't get everything we might need if the power goes off for awhile. I'll try to finish up next week. I also need to do some baking and freeze a few things. I'm still so tired all the time...it is hard to get everything done.

I'm having to go pick Ross up at school everyday at 3 and then hurry home, cook dinner, eat and go downstairs and teach piano until 7 or 8. I'm barely keeping my housework done and take care of Jenna during the day. Today I spent 3 hours on the couch. Jenna is so cute when I lay down. She likes having me there, in the living room while she watches TV but she doesn't want me to go to sleep so every 5 or 10 minutes she gets right up in my face and says, "Meme...you seepin"?

This weekend I'm going to try trading on ebay...wish me luck!!!



GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I'm so tired...4 a.m. and no sleep yet!!! The new meds. have messed up my whole system! (Plus...too much on my mind I guess!)

Hello
 

Hi everyone.Well, first grade teachers are in a special category-I forgot how hard it was. The noise level is so different than 5th where you have to do so much teaching. I was reading the little ones my favorite book-I'll Love You Forever-when the little goy in the front said-"you're an od teacher!" I could tell he wanted to take it back but he was speaking the truth. Well, that old teacher is going to wear her size 8 chinos to school today and pray to survive another day. Then I have to tutor and someone is coming over at 6 to do the Christian Single Newsletter-of which I am a proofreader. But I have tomorrow and Friday off. Yeah-Now I was saving my money for a trip to Italy but I'll have to start walking now so I'll bethere in June 20002. A girl at work who is a travel agent said people were canceling all over the place. Maybe things will be better later. Bye for now Mima

Hello
 

Ally- The newspapers all over must be printing flags. There was one on our St Petersburg Times today. I am throwing away a piece of pizza today. My Hubby and I worked in the yard yesterday and I was so tired I didn't plan dinner. He said lets eat that pizza. It wasn't very good anyhow. You try to dress up these store bought pizzas,sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.Some excuse huh?
Mima- My daughter teaches 2nd grade mentally challenged children. You should see her at the end of the day. She is a very small girl with a large attitude. The parents love her as do the children. Some of those children are bigger than she is. She has a intern and another teacher in the room. I wish I had her will power. She is a size 3. Very aware of her diet and exercise.
Memetoo - Take care of yourself. It sounds like you are trying to do too much. Small Grandchildren are a handful.
Hello Happy and Candice...
Joanne

Meme...Is this the usual stock up plans for the winter in case of power outages or because you think we are heading for war? I haven't gotten that far yet. Just worrying about flying to San Francisco in Oct.
Mima......remember their concept of old is anyone who shaves.
Joanne.....Yeah, I have dumped store bought pizza. Only a few frozen ones can be doctored to edibility too. I made Boboli pizza crust this week with Ragu quick sauce and a whole 8oz container of Mozz and 8oz of pepperoni for my kids. And they didn't like it.... might as well stick with crappy old Dominos.
Happy.....where are you? Do you hear from Tootie?

Both...combined. It is stock up for winter about 6 weeks early just in case! :)

I used to sub almost every single day...did that for too many years. But kids were different back then...not as mature I think. Also, it seems the parents took more interest in their kids 15 years ago, too. I tried it again a few years ago and had one 3rd grader call me a ***** because I called him down in the lunch room. Threatened to call another boy's Dad to come get him and he just laughed and said, "Go ahead, I won't get in trouble. I'll just get to go home and ride my four wheeler the rest of the day." The kids used to beg their teachers to get me when they were out...I loved to teach...but I finally couldn't take the stress anymore and started telling the teachers, "No"! There was one special ed teacher I still went in for for a little while after I said I was quitting...she was dying with cancer and I knew 2 of her sisters. She only had 8 kids and her class was not too bad...and the kids were soooo sweet! I also subbed as an interpreter for some deaf children since they had such a hard time finding someone who could sign. But I quit for good when my daugher had her first baby 5 years ago because I started keeping her kids for her. I don't miss it! I thought I would since I had subbed for so long. I still had teachers calling me 2 years after I quit even though my name was no longer on the list! It is hard to get substitutes here. My daugher-in-law just started back teaching 6th at the private school where both of my grandsons go. She says it is awesome to be able to have prayer before school and before lunch every day and not get in trouble for it! Also, she says all the kids are from Christian homes and very well mannered. She only had 20 kids, too. I used to go to a private school but the kids there didn't come from good homes...most of them only went there because they got kicked out of public school! :lol: No...Candice...I did not get kicked out of school...I lived in a rough neighborhood in the middle of Detroit...schools were MURDER literally...I actually saw one boy get killed and my own councellor was raped in the hall.

I'm talking too much...need to go to bed I guess and see if I can sleep tonight!

Hello
 

The nice thing about working is that when you have a day off, you really appreciate it. I am working next Thurs, and Fri .I survived yesterday by being tough and separating kids. What can you do with 27 kids-it's ridiculous!!!I do love that school and all the teachers in it and the principal is wonderful.And I do get pd. on top of my retirement.I'm supposed to walk with my aunt today but it looks like rain. Maybe we will go to the mall. I want to get my shopping done early because I have to do the teacher test right before Christmas. No kids there. Meme-please slow down. I worked with kids in a Catholic school and it was wonderful-I couldn't pray because I was employed by the federal gov. but I used to sneak off to Mass in the off-sit bldg. And the kids were wonderful.Ally-the security is great in the airport-I have to fly in Jan. so I am concerned too. My girlfriend is coming home from Italy tonight!!!!Hi to all-and have a peaceful day. Mima

Hey There
 

Hi Everybody.........I know that teachers are having a difficult time of it right now. Here in my area they don't have enough to man the classrooms. In some areas they are using people with just a highschool diploma.
Every day we will have a new thing to worry us. My main objective will be to pray that we will all stay safe. Right now you couldn't pay me to get on an airplane. I am sure their are many more people with the same idea..That's one reason the airlines are in so much trouble.
Mima..Shopping for Christmas?I am one person who keeps saying I got to get to that. My sister is already finished.
Mimetoo ..I wish sometimes I had the space to stock up. I hope I don't need it. Keep well.
Hello Ally,Happy and Candice..How's the arm? Joanne

Hello to all
 

Well firstly, this is the second time I am trying to do this. I guess the computer thought I was getting really long winded in the last post, and a power surge shut it down. Anyway, I hope you are all well.

Joanne, I envy the fact that you can walk like that. It is wonderful. I guess I just plain lack the motivation to do that by myself. Soon the walking group will start again, and I will get back at it. Hope you are well and not living in fear. That would be terrible.

Mima - The best thing about working, is the days off. You really do appreciate them. When you just have them off, you wish you could work. Have a nice walk today.

Meme - Preparing for a lot of things:D I don't have to stock up as I think I have enough food to feed an army. Don't know why, but I guess when there are good buys on, I just stock up then. Anyway, I am sure we could eat well for weeks:lol:

Candice - Oh Candice where are you! I miss the photos of your flowers. Come tell us how you are even it it just says a couple of words. I hope your arm is starting to feel better.

Ally - Boy, I find it hard to throw out food sometimes. I guess I was raised to not waste it because of all the starving children etc. Used to tell my mom to send it to them then, because I didn't want to eat it.

I hope that the stress of the past week and a bit has passed some. I know that my muscles were a lot tenser. I am not a real worrier, so I won't be to worried about an impending war until it happens. My philosophy is why waste time worrying about something that may never happen. It works for me, and has for years. There is plenty of time to worry if it should happen.

Well better go, before the computer cuts me off again.

Anne

something to share
 

I really liked this and wanted to share it with you.

http://sidero.net/icq/christian1.html

hope you enjoy it.

Happy...thank you for the rose and beautiful words and the music, of course.
Teachers....last nite I watched an old Andy Griffith show and it was when Miss Krump starts teaching. Well....she is the meanest thing you ever saw. And then I realized that my earlier teachers were of the same grain. I was scared of a few of them. I would never, ever, ever have talked back or been rude. The thought of being punished by them put fear in my heart.
Then I remember my 5th grade teacher who was so appalled that two boys jumped me outside in the bus circle that she marched right thru the line of busses not letting them leave til she found the bus those boys were on and she hauled them out of there. Her own daughter was in 5th grade at the time and that must've struck a nerve.
Little did I know that those boys LOVED me.
One died of AIDs, and one is in prison.
My kinda guys.

Thanks, Ally...I needed a laugh! You are soooo funny!!!

I twisted my knee this morning and am now on crutches!!!

I'm here but feelin' kinda blue cause I can't do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to keep busy physically and get things accomplished to keep my mental status normal...I know Meme...I'm not normal!:lol: never was!!!!!!!!!! Physical Therapy wears me out and hurts too! Oh, I fell in the garage too and hurt my right hand and arm! So hard to click my mouse:eek: my upper body is getting so weak...I just hate this!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one understands! (could use some sympathy here!) :^:

We did have a good time with the boys home for DH's 50th last Saturday. I stayed op but had banked points to use up on cake and icecream!!!!!!!!!!! I'm craving carbs so I know I'm getting depressed about not being able to get anything done!

Anyone know how the mail is running I have some film to send to Seattle but don't want it to get lost with all this airport stuff! I'm still in shock at all this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not feeling any anger yet but sad....I hear this is normal too!

Still can't type much...........
Took me forever to get through all my email since I haven't been on in a week! Some of it would not open Anne and Meme............so I just deleted it!

Hi, Joanne, Mima, Ally, and Toots:) Meme and Anne too!
Hibiscus opening.......... :smug:

Hello
 

Hello-I have that stupid intercostal thing in my ribs again. It hurts!!!I put my stretchy wrap thing around it to see if it helps. Seems I keep aggravating it. Down to only walking for a while which I haven't done and am now craving carbs. Wken I talked to my sister-in-law she told me how much chocolate she had been eating but I don't have any in the house-that's good. I ate over my pts but not bad. Didn't go for a walk yesterday because we thought it was going to rain. Whine-whine whine. Church service at Christian Singles-that will be good.Dishwasher coming at 11:30-good . My daughter's boyfriend got a job. Good. I'm alive-good. I feel for you Candyce in your frustration.Love to all-in these trying times. Oh yeah-girlfriend home safe from Italy. Good. Mima

Sorry about your ribs hurting Mima! :^: Speaking of ribs.......I used to love to eat smoked ribs but they are too high in fat and give me indigestion!:(:mad: ;)

What is that intercostal thing Mima?????????????:?:

Meme how's the knee????? I heard on the news that neurontin among others causes hunger pains and then weight gain! I have it but haven't tried it yet.

Happy are you feeling better?

Ally and Joanne hope you gals are hanging on, I'm about to fall off the cliff! :cry: I hear form the doc Monday on what we will do next. The arm is not better!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a hug for all of you ailing folk!:o

Hi
 

Hi everyone-got a good night's sleep last night but everyone was in my dream-not unusual for these times I think. I went to a nice service last night and then out to eat with some of the people and yes-I had the pie but I gave away 1/2 of my icecream.I made myself walk yesterday-I was getting so depressed.I'm going to take my step-grandaughter to the movies today. We are going to see the new Mariah Carey movie which is supposed to be boring with good singing.What you don't do for kids!!! Candyce-the intercostal thing is pain under my ribs on my left side which I keep aggravating. Chiro says that when it heals it forms scar tissue and that tissue is weaker than regular-hence it keeps tearing.Probably what happens to you with your arm a bit-who knows. Happy-I put that elastic on and I think it helped.I know that stress aggravates it because my TMJ disappeared and now I hold my stress in my stomache.Hope everyone is ok. Mima

Hello again
 

I know I already posted but my best girlfriend came over this morning and told me she has a fatal pulmonary disease that she got from taking redux and phen phen. She is getting another test on Thurs. but the prognosis does not look good. Pray for a miracle,She has a 12 year old daughter and has to be careful who she tells because she does not want her daughter to know now.Just wanted your support. Mima

hello
 

Mima, so sorry to hear about your friend. That must be quite a blow to both herself and you. Her daughter is so young. I know that you are going to be hurting with the added stress, but try to do some meditation. Also, hope your ribs are feeling better - that really hurts.

Alley - Hello. Candice hope you are doing ok. I hope you didn't hurt anything else with the fall. Meme - Hello, Joanne - Hello

It is so nice out today, about 82 above or so. Hotter even tomorrow. I can take it, however, as I know right around the corner will be snow.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Happy what a cute kitty!:)

Mima.......I read about the scar tissure and healing and tearing and my doc said that is why they do surgery to remove the old scar tissue so it can heal better and quicker. But I don't want surgery!:eek::mad: :( How was the movie???????

Ther nerontin make me anxious....supposed to make you sleepy! I'm taking it for anxiety and it is causeing more. Meme does this happen to you??????????????? In the beginning anyway?????

Hi Ally, Joannne and toots no sleep showering with the neurontin for me yet!

Fibro Check list site!

Good morning
 

Hello everyone-my ribs feel better-maybe it was that good cry I had yesterday morning while listening to some spiritual music. I talked with my girlfriend yesterday and she says she will do everything she can to beat this. Prayer the most and then physical things. Well-need to live one day at a a time-Candyce-don't be afraid of surgery-2 weeks of pain -with good drugs of course-and then recovery and you can get back to a life-I couldn't even swim when my rotator cuff was torn. Good luck at the doctor's today. Thank you for your kind words, Happy.Talked to my son last night-his business is hurting right now but they are taking care of a handicapped child for 2 weeks and have been offered another one that is severely handicapped.They make good money doing that but it's a lot of work. I'm lucky that my little part time jobs are not affected by the economy.But we won't even talk about my investments-got my other money in cd's for the moment.Hi to everone else-it's probably getting a bit cooler, Joanne. It's going to pour here tomorrow. But nice today!!!Mima

Good Morning
 

Hello Everybody- What a mess! They changed the server and I had a heck of a time getting back on.I missed a few things but hopefully it is worked out now.
Candice ,do what you have to do to get better.
Mima- I am so sorry about your friend. I hope something can be done for her.
Helly to Ally, Happy and Memetoo. Got to go . My hubby wants the phone line....Joanne

Hello
 

Good morning. What did the dr. say,Candice? Hope it was hopeful. I went to WW and I lost another lb. I am one lb away from my personal goal which is 3 lbs under my ww one. But I still have lots of fat rolls!!!!!Who cares. I am going to Northampton to work so I'll have to be good. I have to walk when I'm there to accomplish this. And we do-15 minutes morning, noon, and night!!!!That's 3 extra pts.I am going to walk at the mall after Mass and then go to Walmart to see if they have any flags. Again. Hope everyone is fine. Mima

Hey There
 

Hello Everybody... I hope you are feeling good today. I don't have anything useful to say at the present time. I just wanted to check in and say Hello....Joanne

Hi
 

Like Joanne, nothing much to say. Where the heck is Meme? I sure hope she is feeling ok. Candice, come tell us about your arm, and Ally, Hi.

We are having summer here. It is 80 above and we broke several records yesterday - supposed to continue for a few days anyway. It could just as easily turn around and snow tomorrow (lol). Went shopping yesterday, and bought 4 new cushions and a throw (Chineil?) Have been looking for this particular color for a while, but have not been able to find it - then yesterday we had a new store that opened and there they were - shouting at me to buy them, so what could I do?

Everyone have a great day.

Hey Guys......I had a hard time getting in here too. I got so frustrated that I just gave up a couple of days ago but then I was nosy and read all your posts and had to get my password and figure this out. Will have to see if I have to redo all this tomorrow.
Will someone please inspire me and tell me that when you go thru menopause you don't have that pre-period time of absolute starvation?
I realize I am in a cycle. Lose 3-4 lbs, then gain it back right before my period. Then lose it and do the same thing next month.
And I am starving. I could eat everything in my fridge and still be hungry.
I ate the fries off one of my kids plates while trying to dump it in the garbage.
Help.
:dizzy:

Hello
 

Good morning-just did my toenails at 5:30 am. Ally-I only gave my password one time so you should be all set. I remember the preperiod stuff-I don't have any excuses now but things never get that bad. Love those hormones-even with the risks. Got caught in this huge downpour yesterday-I thought I was in Florida. But I did get my grandaughters each a Christmas outfit. I'm trying to help the economy. I walked yesterday-went out for coffee with some retirees.w orking tomorrow and Friday. I like my schedule because I'm not bored anymore. My daughter got the job she wanted but she has this awful cold-flulike.I think Ill take it easy today. Have a great day everyone. Mima

Hey There
 

I had a difficult time getting back in too..Now The only way I can know there are new messages is go through an alternate route. The computer isn't sending to me as before. Maybe there is something I need to do that I haven't . I don't know what it is. There is so much I don't know about this system.
Ally - I don't know much about preperiod starvation as It has been 30 years since I had a period. The gain probably is water retention though. I seem to have the starvation most of the time anyhow.:lol: Eating three meals a day on a set schedule seems to be a habit with me. Sometimes I even get a huff on when my hubby says "I am not eating lunch,I need to lose wt."How dare he make me feel guilty.:devil:
Mime- You are doing your toenails at 5.30 in the morning? I don,t have the energy to open my eyes then!I guess I am forgetting my working days. Good for you.We did get some rain in Fl. too. Hello Candice. Hope things are looking up. Hello Happy and Memetoo. Bye for now...Joanne:wave:
