P.S. Gayle.........Your picture you painted was BEAUTIFUL!!! You have so much talent girl!!!! Don't forget us when you get famous!!

Shelley..........I noticed that you posted at 6am on Sunday!! Girl....don't you ever sleep in late????!!!!!!!

Lisa: Have you checked with your local college about a tutoring program? Some colleges have H/S students setup to tutor in exchange for trips, college application fees etc. Good luck!

Ramona, Sher & Shelley: Men can be butts, but I guess we still love them!!!! I am "one luckey dog" to have you guys as friends!!!! Couldn't resist that one!!!!

Dee: How are you feeling? Great job on winning the prizes!!! When are you going on the fishing trip?

Titan Dee: Did you get your furniture put together? I bet it looks great!

Shazzy: I unstand the whole binge eater thing all to well. Please stay focused on the success that you have had so far!!!! You have lost so much!!!! I never heard of the eating plan that you was using. Can you write down a day or two of sample menu's?

Deb: GREAT PIC!!! You are ONE HOT GRANDMA!!!

To all of my other Floozies, have a great day!!!!

Sher: Guess we must of been posting at the same time. Thank you so much for the kind comments!!! My personal opinion is that it is rather crude, but I promised you guys that I would send you a pic. Problem is that I want to start out painting just like Thomas Kinkade!!

Gayle, I want to see the picture too!

I may need you to make a road trip to help me out. I'm in the process of painting a race car for my best friend. He wants a certain style done for the numbers and I'm not getting it to come out right. I'm trying to use my "mind's eye", but I think my "mind's eye" needs glasses because it sure isn't looking very good!! I hope you continue to enjoy your lessons!

OK, I have to eat my words and hang my head in shame. I went to spend my certificate and man did I rack up! They had their Luxiva gift sets left from Christmas on sale so I got 4 products that would have cost around $100.00 for 26.00. Then, they were having a gift giveaway with purchase so I got another $40.00 worth of lotions and wrinkle creams for free!! LOVE freebies! So, with all those goodies, I expect to look like a 19 year old in a couple of weeks!

My best friend's mom is having a brain tumor removed on Wednesday. It is not malignant and she should be fine. Her name is Carol. Please remember her in your thoughts.

We didn't go to our Quail banquet this weekend. We have been a sponsor and gone every year since 1987. We just didn't feel like being around all those people this year so we stayed at home and....."made up".

Did you racing fans see the crash yesterday at the Daytona 500? It is amazing that anyone can walk away from something like that.

Well, back to bill paying. Talk to you all later......
Ramona

p.s. Debbie, I went back to see the picture everyone was writing about. You look great!!!!!!!

Lisa -

Talk to your local school district about having your daughter tested through them. The fact that she is a private school student has absolutely no bearing on the matter. As a taxpayer and a resident of the district, they MUST provide your daughter with ANY educational services they would normally provide.
This also means that, even if you choose not to take your daughter out of private school, the school district must provide services for your daughter such as tutors or inclusion teachers should she be diagnosed with a learning disability.

Remember, the school district CANNOT deny you services - it's illegal. If they try to give you the line that they are unable to help private school student, remind them of this. If they continue to give you crap, threaten to call the state board of education.

Dear Vicki, Doni & Carol,

Where the heck are ya'll??? I miss you!!! I hope that everything is ok with you.Please get back here soon!!! We need you for motivation & support.Hope you are doing good with your weight loss and staying OP!! I do real good for awhile then I start "pigging out" again!

Love & hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear)


**Lisa.........I was trying to come up with the right thing to say about your Daughter.Then Jennelle posts exactly what I wanted to say!! (Thanks Jennelle!) Good luck to you & your Daughter and I hope that she gets the help she needs!

Dee, how did it go today at the doctor?
Congrats on the prizes you won. Do you like to fish? Will you go now or wait until the spring thaw?

So, how are these gas prices affecting you girls? Gas is 1.60 here now and expected to be 2.00 per gallon by spring. Do any of you have to drive long distances for work, etc? My hubby drug his mountain bike out the other day and had new tires put on it. He is already riding it to work and back, but we only live about 2 miles from our store. The gas prices are driving up the cost of our goods which in turn has to be passed along to the customer. I really hate that. Things are expensive enough without going up all the time.

Sherry, maybe I missed it, but what did your hubby ever decide aobut the new job?

Ladies, I had the most delicious apple for my snack today. It was a Cameo apple. They are very crisp and sweet. They are also HUGE! I counted one of them as two fruit servings. If you have any in your stores, you may want to try one....very yummy!

Shelley, I'm so glad you had such a nice time at the party. That is wonderful that your parents were being honored for their hard work. Sometimes we take people for granted when we really should be praising them. I bet you looked beautiful......just as good as your six-pack cousin!!!!

later all,
Ramona

Why is it so hard to attach a picture? Whenever I try, the file is too big. Do any of you know how to make it smaller?? I made the mistake of uploading Snapfish to my computer, now all the pictures convert to it. I can't get it off, according to DH. Take a tip from me---don't ever upload something you don't know about!!

Hello Floozies!!!!!

Oh gosh, don't tell me!!!! There is FINALLY another race fan on this thread?????? Ramona, Steve & I do the fantasy racing with each of us having a team. We also try to go once a year to Kansas City to see the Nascar guys. We have met Kurt Busch, Joe Nemechek, Sterling Marlin and we have pics of several others. Are you painting the numbers on an actual race car? Steve wanted to race this year but finances are not looking that direction. I wanted to paint the car a bright blue ground, then add vibrant splatters of color all over in hues of hot pink, yellow etc. Then add some cartoon characters. Can you believe he said NO!!!! BTW: Seen the crash Sunday, it is a miracle that those guys can walk away!

Sher: Who are the Floozies getting ready to celebrate a birthday???? I know of one...

Deb: See, it was so ugly that it broke your "puter", but at least it sounds like you may be getting a new one!!

Did any of you watch the "Joe Show"???? I missed it all season but tonight we caught most of it. It looked like he made the right pick!

Shelley: I have problems with images too. I have a photo program that I usually have to go into and edit over and over and over again before I can get the image small enough.

Gayle........Shhhhhhh.........(be real quiet!) .....Tomorrow is Jeanne's B/day!!!!!

Who watched Joe last night??? He made a great choice! I'm not going to say anything else about the show in case someone had to tape it!!!

Have a great OP day!!!!!
