I just lost my post. Now I have to start again. I hate that.
I had a really nice visit with my daughter Jenny and her fiance matt. I am glad to be home though. I TOTALLY MESSED UP WITH MY DIET,I CHEATED. I know bad Laura. It is going to be so hard to get back to eating right especially with all the sugar I ate. Not to mention when I got home the was a BIG ice cream cake in the freezer and I had 3 slices in 1 day. I gained a couple of lbs back. Oh well. I will go on and eat right. I hope.
Joanne D,
Well It sounds like your neck is getting somewhat better. I think its great that you did 3 miles on the treadmill.
Pam,
I can imagine how excited you are with your sons wedding coming up so soon. Do you know what you are wearing Yet?
Anne,
How are you. My almost son in law does all kinds of graphics. I am hoping when he has more time he can also help me to learn. What kind of program should I buy. Photo? clip art? what? You are such a with graphics and I really want to know where to start.
I wen to that one graphic site you sent me to and I did not understand exactly what they wanted me to do on the form. There were a couple of places that I did not know what to put down. I will have to go back there and find out what parts I am talking about. I really want to learn and Your graphics are very beautiful and some just look so fun.
Khewes,
You wrote that you are on the Atkins diet. Do you count Net carbs and how many carbs do you eat a day. How much weight do you Lose a week. I count net carbs but sometimes I will just count all the carbs. If I do it that way I lose weight a little faster than I would just counting net carbs. This is such a hard diet to get back on if you have cheated like I did last week. I am really going to have to be and get back to eating right again. I appreciate anything you can tell me about what you eat ands so on.
Charlotte,
How are you doing? I read in you last post that youreally have gotten the hang of injecting yourself with the methotrexate. It does get easy after a while. We are to pros at giving ourselves shots. I just love some of your graphics they are so pretty. I figue between you and Anne I can start to learn a little about graphics. You two are going to have to coach me so I can learn.
Noodles,
Hello everytime I go to the chat room it is empty. Now since I downloaded another browser I have to get plug ins to make it work. I hope to see you there some day or time.
Well I guess thats all for now. Take care of your selves.
Oh yeah I didn't workout either when I was gone so I have to start all over again. You guys I really need the encouragement I need to lose another 20 lbs by sept 12 when Jenny has her wedding. I am going to make a promise to myself to do it. I will let you girls know how I am doing each dau. Good or bad I will tell you and if I mess up you have to scold me for it. And when I do good tell me that I am doing well. I really mean it though.
Noodles,

Hello!!
I am not sure why you'd need plug-ins. That's a question for Suzanne. I haven't been in chat much lately because I haven't been home long enough to get in there and blab. I use to be in there alot. Summertime has a way of keeping me away from the computer. I'll try to get in there more though...If you see my egg lit up, it means I am in the room. Otherwise I'm not. Whenever I have the egg on, I always have the chat up in the background.
Too early for me to be up!! Ahh well..there is a yard sale at the neighbors I should go check out. I wonder if they would get mad if I put stuff out on my driveway to sell?? Hummm... BBIAB!
Joanne - hope you got sailing. Glad your neck was feeling a little better. Good for you, walking 3 miles on that Treadmill. I walked 3 minutes and thought I had been on it forever
Laura - your post looks fine. You will learn it, but it takes time. Go back and try to put up the graphic I left for you, with the instructions. It isn't hard. It is on my server, so it's ok.
Noodles - I hope you put some stuff out and sold it. I love going to yard sales - just to browse. Sometimes you find some interesting stuff.
Angel - I don't know where you are, but I hope you are all dried out by now.
Hello everytime I go to the chat room it is empty. Now since I downloaded another browser I have to get plug ins to make it work.
Yep, the chat uses a java applet, so you have to have java installed in your browser. If it prompts you to go to to a specific site to get it, follow the prompt. Otherwise, I think this is the latest release http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/index.jsp A lot of programs/websites use Java, so it's nice to have installed. It's not automatic with many browsers, though.
And yes, the chat is empty We should organize some scheduled chats.
Hi.....Couldnt resist this. It was written by a 20 year old who was diagnosed with RA 2 years ago.

Arthur Itis, what have you done with my senses?
You've been causin' me winces, of Pain so long now
Oh, you're persistent
And I just can't find a reason
These Pills that are pleasin' me
Will hurt me somehow
Don't forget to take your Toxic Meds
Or you just won't be able
To do the simple things that daily life requests
It makes you do some strange things
Like believe the Rheumys Fable
But reliefs the one thing that you ain't seen yet
Arthur Itis, well you ain't gettin' no better
Your shackles and tethers are bringin' me down
And New Hope, oh New Hope, well that's just Drug Makers talkin'
Your Prison is livin' with a fire in your bones
Don't your feet swell up when they get the urge?
The Meds you take wanna make you purge
The Pain is with you every night and day
It seems nobody care, or knows
Ain't it funny how it never goes away?
Arthur Itis, please give me back all my senses
I'm runnin' out of defenses, give us a break
We're all good People, and we just want to enjoy Life
Please let us enjoy Life, before it's too late.
No the neck really isn't better . I think I must call the Dr. tomorrow. I wake up at night and think my head is going to explode, other times it isn't hurting. What can I say!. I think it is oa..
We had a great time on my sons boat yesterday. This new girlfriend is looking great. I hope she is as good for him as she looks.We all went our to eat last night.
It has been a good weekend.I walked on the t/m 2 1/2 miles today. Happy . play music or watch tv when you are on t/m it makes the time go by better.Sometimes I do both.I rather walk to beach,but, it is just too hot now. You can do it!
Bye..Joanne
Well...had a very busy week. Daughter from South Alabama was here through assignment from her job. She stayed with us, & brought 4 yr old daughter. Our son had his 2 daughters, 5 & 2...& it rained all week. The dilemma? Roof still not fixed, because of raining every day. So, we just did the best we could, & enjoyed each others company.The sun finally came out Saturday morning...the day after all the company left. A large part of the roof got plywood on it, so maybe things will be a little better.
I've been offered a weekend trip during the 4th of July. Been thinking very seriously about going. My friend, Connie (TV Station manager) is close friends of the owners of GMT (Gospel Music Television).
The daughter, Mary Fay Jackson, invited Connie to Texas, to sing at a large singing....including "The Hoppers"...& others. Well, she invited me to go with her. Mary Fay was here at our station a couple of weeks ago....& was very nice & down-to-earth. I was all set to be snubbed....but, she wasn't that way at all!
I think it would do me some good to get away for a weekend. The only hold up is my health. Connie understands me, though. If I can't handle everything, I can always go to the motel. We didn't have any plans.....& DH doesn't mind. We'll see. I've been trying to find some meal plans I could put together & store in the freezer, so DH would only have to put in crock pot, for supper. Any ideas?
Everyone have a great day!
*Pam...loved the song!!
Yes Angel- Do what I did. If you have a son or daughter near by ,tell them to "take care of dad ", and go . Have a great time. You need it..
Hello everybody.. I walked 3 miles on the T/M and guess what. Ate a healthy supper THEN I ate some candy. I can't believe I did that...I have no will power.If I am not real careful I am going to be over goal this week.. I always regret these things after the fact..Dummy. That's me
Bye...Joanne
Pam,
I really liked that song or whatever it was. It is so true, its seems that I cannot live without some kind of pain killer just to get thru the day. I have a hard time doing things without them. I don't think my r. a. is ever going change much at far a pain and movement.
