Will be back. Going to get the recipe. Sorry, I just forgot. I made them and they are pretty good. You might want to add a bit more spice to them - I will next time.

Happy birthday Joanne. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Makes 12 muffins - 2 points (12 REALLY large muffins) I actually got 18 1/4 size muffins.

MMMM...those muffins sound good.
Well, today it is back to winter. NY is just so unpredictable. I guess I should just feel lucky to have had a nice day in there....
Happy...I had to get out the Bluestuff this morning with this return of cold weather. It really does work.

I better go hunting and see if there is a place in Canad to buy it. If it works that would be wonderful. Thanks.

Cold - well on Thursday morning it was 38 below here, today it is 0 and feels like a heatwave. It is nice, as long as there is no wind.

Finally...I have been trying to log in for 3 days now but it wouldn't let me...I finally had to write to them...they had one of the boxes in my options checked wrong...after all this time it had changed! Can't figure that out!

Anne...that was a cute card...hope you warm up soon! It is sunny and cold here...it was 70 and sunny a couple of days last week...wonderful, though a little windy! Makes me long for May! Back down in the 20s at night now, though. It's sunny today but cold.

Mima...a 7 pound difference I can see but not a 34 pound difference...that's too much! I want to get down between 140 and 150 if I can. I'd rather be 140 but if I stop before that I guess I just stop! I'd argue about where to put things...especially if it was in the kitchen. I always get my way about where things inside the house goes (I only get my way about the outside most of the time!)

Joanne...I reach for the chips every time I go through a rough spell...I think it is carbs and salt I crave!

Candice...would've been easier if it WAS your hubby...you could have eased his pain in just a few minutes!!! Did you bite the cat back? I used to have a dog that bit me all the time, I bit her back and she stopped biting me! Of course she still bit hubby! (Before you all go getting balistic on me...it was a little white poodle, I only bit her "lightly" on the paw, and she had just had a bath!)

Hey Ally, I just ordered some of that blue stuff...if it doesn't work it is all you fault...and you'll owe me 40 bucks!!!

What happened to way2much?

Hey Anne...we must've been posting about the same time...I didn't see that last one but you can get the "Blue Stuff" at:
http://www.bluestuff.com/

Here's a picture of my little dog that I bit!

Hi guys-I woke up 3 times last night and had 3 different sets of dreams-Only deceased person this time was my uncle.I have had dreams about a lot of people that died last week. I know it's because I'm transitioning. We had a great time yesterday-the whole family came over to swim in the pool and then we played pool and Jill and I won. Of course they let me put the white ball wherever I want. I got 2 god shots without it. Gorgeous here. Going with a friend today. no car-she'll pick me up at the bus stop.3 more sleeps. I guess I'll be back in the cold Friday.But there is not snow on the ground so I'll be able to walk outside.Sounds like you had a good day, Joanne. Is the blue stuff better than the cream with the capraicin in it.? I use that. Bye for now. Mima

Happy- We are supposed to be in the 70's today.. I just turned off the heat.. I have hopes that I won't have to turn it back on. But when evening gets here it will get a little chilly so my hubby will turn it on.
Meme- I hid the chips. I just think out of sight out of mind. I only need to lose about 5 more lbs. I have been trying(I admit half hearted) for about 3 yrs. It goes up 2 and down 2 . Like a yoyo. My body and mind is working against me.
Mima.. I bet you are packing! Just a few more days. Sounds like the lines are being set. I just say "that's fine" and when he clears the area do as I want. He never knows the difference. At least he keeps quiet if he does.
Abby ..Before you know it it will be warm weather. How are your kids doing? School will be out soon. I always made sure my teens had a job lined up.. I said if they were working ,they didn't have time to get into trouble.
Hey Candice...
Bye...Joanne

This site is not working right! They are cutting back on what we can do, due to expense and I keep losing stuff. You can't post gif's any more and your pics have to be smaller and you can't change your custom avatar!

My finger seems to be doing better but I hurt my upper arm elbow and shin today cleaning the cats room in the basemnet, they are such pigs!! I'm such a clutz, all brusied and lumped up!

Oprah was so good today..what a trooper that gal was( WWT center burn victim). Real tear jerker!



I lost a half pound and wasn't trying so I ate some M&M's!

My sons BD dinner is Wed so I have been banking points..I'm, making a pork roast with gravy and mashed potatoes..his request and we will ahve a DQ cake! (need to get it out of the freezer)

Dh is still sick and the doc was too busy to see him last week so he went to the emergency care clinic and they said it was a cold, gave him some nose drops and and a decongestant and now he has a temp and an ear ache to boot! WE think it is sinus but they won't listen to us! Stupid docs!!!!!!!!

Hey Everybody-- I don't know too much about the Blue Stuff.. Except it cost 40 dollers a jar. I'll stick to Icy Hot.. It is under 10 dollers. I wonder if some of these new balms are just a new thing. The condition is still there.
Candice- I hope the sick ones in your house are soon well. There is not too much worse than a sick man. That pork roast sounds good. I haven't made one of those in a while.
The weather here is really nice. I hope it lasts for awhile.
I ate too much over the weekend so now I am having to really watch it. I did go for a good walk Sunday but then hurt too much to go on Monday. I'll do it again today.
Bye...Joanne

Candice - will you please stop hurting your arm! I hope your husband feels better soon, and that you don't feel worse soon. Oh boy! a birthday party with ice cream cake. Yummmy!

Joanne - I don't know, but the Blue Stuff is more like an ointment that a pain rub. It have Glucosomine, MSM etc. in it, it I remember correctly, oh yeah and some blue stuff Anyway, Ally is having some good luck with it helping ward of migranes, so maybe Meme will to. She gets those. Me, I am not to bothered by headaches, thank goodness.

Mima - I missed you this morning. You are just always here. So I was disappointed not so see you post. I hope you are ok.

She didn't leave for home already, did she?

Ally - hello. Are you now over the flu? I sure hope so.

Spring will be here before we know it, although, you would never be able to tell from looking out my window. Snow everywhere, but it is warming up a bit. I think it will get to about 11 above or so today. That is a heatwave compared to what we just went through. Imagine 38 below in March!!! That is even unheard of here - that is weather generally confined to November or January.

I have been sticking to my diet rather well. I sure hope some of these pounds start to move out soon. I have lost a lot of inches, so that must count for something. I have tried to add more protein and less starchy carbs to my diet. They just make me want to eat more and more, so the best thing to do is just leave them alone. I can actually incorporate the Formula diet into ww, easy enough.

Well, I better get going here. Did a one mile walk using my tape and weights this morning. My hip and lower back are really sore, but I decided they wouldn't feel much worse whether I did the walk or not.

Have a nice afternoon all.

Meme....I used that Blue stuff on a bunion between my toes and now it is fine. I am going to put a dab on my son's gross zit on his nose tonight. The only bad thing is the smell....that must be what emus smell like. A little dab'll do ya so that jar should last a long time. I have never tried Coricidin so can't compare. I got a bunch of samples with my jar and one is a skin cream. When I get back from the wedding I am going to in N. Carolina this weekend I am going to try it for a week.
I am cutting down on my 5-HTP. Don't use it when the weather gets better so I don't want to buy another bottle. What I notice is that I crave carbs so bad.... I would love to eat a loaf of bread. I went on the treadmill and upped the speed....wow, am I hurting now. BUT still hungry.

I couldn't log on yesterday!One more sleep. We went to my daughter-in-law's mother's house last night and had a deliscious dinner, Many points. I have been walking and exercising in the pool, though.I went tosee a really nice manufactured homes park and put our name in for next year. Eventuall we might buy something and stay here longer but Brad is still working for a year and a half. He goes round and round with how much he works. Maybe I should get that blue stuff. I'll be glad to get back to the chiro and my regular masseuse and senior yoga. I can't believe I have so much pain down here-I didn't last year. Of course I came down here with sore shoulders. Have fun at the wedding Ally. Hopeit gets warmer soon, Anne. Anything new on Ross, Meme.Hey Joanne-it's hot. Happy birthday to your husband, Candice. Bye for now. Mima

Good Morning Everybody!!
Happy- I think the guy who put out the Blue Stuff will make a mint and run before it is over.. My niece was telling her mother about it. My sister has Lupus and lives on Social Security like a lot of us. So she said she would buy Icy Hot too.
Mima ..One more day and you are on your way. We have a lot of nice Mobile Parks up this way. My sister and her friend bought into one and they just love it. It offers just about everything for the over 50 crowd... She is 2 miles from the Gulf and very close to shopping. I live in between her and the Gulf. We are quiet in this little town. I have to say people are fast finding us and moving in.
Ally.. Let us know how that stuff works on your son's zits... I wonder if the Carolina's are getting spring yet.
The weather here is perfect now. I wish it would stay like this year round. The oaks are shedding their leaves and getting new. We need the rain here in this part of the state. It seems to always miss us. It is either below or above us.
