Good Day to all of you. This thread is so quiet. Where has everybody gone?

Meme - It seems that you are very busy renovating. All that money getting spent, makes me glad I am renting at the moment:lol I hope you are feeling better.

Candice - Also do some renovating? Did you put in just the shower or the whole bathroom? I can't remember and now I am not on the same thread.

Anagram - Haven't heard from her in a while. I hope she is just busy having fun.

Joanne - Hi. Hope your day is going well.

Ally - Renovating is such a hard thing to do. You get one thing done, and it just goes on and on. Updating one thing, makes everything else look shabby, so onward you go. Boy, do I remember that!

Mima - I guess you are busy working. Hope it is going well.

Marlene - Don't give up on Atkins. Just make sure that you are sticking to the allotted number of carbs (20 per day for 1st couple of weeks). That isn't much and it doesn't take much to alter the losing pattern. It is a very tight diet when you are on induction.

Well, it is cold and downright miserable here today. The wind is howling and the snow is blowing (it is also snowing a little). I don't like going out in this, but I did have to go to the Dr. today. Had to get my flushed AGAIN!!!! Hope that is the end of it, but somehow, I doubt it. Then I went to the mall and I decided to buy an exercise ball. A lot of people with FM have found good results with it - now if the O/A in my back will let me do it, it will be great, otherwise, back it goes.

Everyone have a great day.

Happy- I guess everyone has been real busy.
I had my first ond only time for jury duty today. I know it is supposed to be my civic duty,but, I was really nervous that I was going to get picked. I have company for the weekend and I just have a lot to do and to sit there for hours is not worth the 15.oo they give you. I will be 70 on Monday so I won't have to worry about that again.They didn't want me anyhow. I guess the lawyers didn't like my answers on DUI. I don't really have a lot of pity for people that use drugs and alcohol and drive.
It is real warm here now. I wonder as crazy as this winter has been if we will get any more cold weather. I would hate for it to get hot this soon. That usually means it is going to be a long hot summer.
Hello everybody. ...Bye, Joanne

Quiet board - I don't have much to say either. Really cold here. Going to 30 below tonight. The other night, with the windchill it was 45 below!! Now that is cold.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Here are some Cute Kitchen Signs

I'm home for 2 days and really tired and I only have to work 2 more days when I go back but.....hard work ahead. This is funny!!!!My daughter met a young man on the internet-turns out that his mother was married to Brad's brother-she died in 98 so I didn't know her-just remember Brad telling me she died. That makes them step cousins but not much else. Anyhow-they are just friends but they both were flabbergasted when I told Suzanne who passed it along.Small world. I worked very hard last week-over 8 hours each day-but all money will be saved for next years stay in FL. Bye for now-I didn't read all the posts-hope everyone is well. Mima

Well...I ordered my carpet and tile this morning and then came home and painted hubby's bedroom. I'm pooped. I always have to do the trim work and that's murder. Especially the ceiling!

My heart rate has slowed down some. The Dr. upped the dosage 60 mgs. I was taking 180, now I'm taking 240. I think it's going to work...the highest it got while I was painting was 112.

They're coming Monday to measure my rooms. I'll be busy cleaning out closets, etc. for the next couple of weeks. Have to take it all out and then put it back. I'm going to throw out a lot of stuff I haven't used in years! I told hubby to be prepared to make a couple of trips to the dump!

Hope everyone is doing ok...

Wow Meme-when you are done can you come north-we have about 10 projects left to do-we are waiting for MONEY! I did so well yesterday-except for a granola bar-I only had complex carbs for the carbs-someone I work with is doing Sugarbusters-it sounds better than Atkins-of course, I've been off my food plan because of being away but I have walked often so I didn't gain anything-only 2 more days left but I am now in charge and we have double the amount of work with little help but we will get it done. Brad and I are going to our own churches today-the weather is warm and things are melting!!!!Yeah!!!Be good-Mima

I haven't forgotten about you. I just have had too much going on. Men on my roof, men in my bathroom. The big stuff is done, and I am so glad to have a clean whie bathroom. But what did I find this morning. Long brown hair all over the new white shiny floor. That would be MY long brown hair. Arghghghgh.
And while the construction guys were here they insisted that I get the installers of my front and back door back as they say the job is terrible. Especially my screen door .... it has a full glass in it. Very pretty but very heavy. The first big wind took it and blew it wide open and damaged it. Now I find out it was supposed to have a wind guard. So the guy comes and was RUDE to me. Kept telling me to stop talking, I could speak when he was done. He at one point stopped and heaved a sigh and said he did not have to take my sh*t. My jaw dropped. I told him to finish looking at the doors and leave and would discuss the matter with his supervisor. I am soooooo angry. Supervisor called me back later and put me on speaker phone. I know this guy was right there. While HE also argued the points of the door, he finally did have to admit that his employee was way out of line.
I hate stuff like this. I didn't call when it happened cause I thought they would tell me it was my problem. And I was right.
I have a box of candy on my kitchen table that is looking pretty good right now. If I opened it, I would eat the whole thing!!!

Ally- Don't you just love the chauvinist attitude of some men. I hope you cut them off at the knees or higher.
Hello all. I will be 70 years old tomorrow and I have already cleaned up like a bandit. If the Lord lets me stay healthy for another 10 years it is no telling what will happen. My family has been so nice to me. My kids took me shopping and to dinner last night. My brother sent me flowers ,My sister brought me two bags of goodies. I am so blessed. The cards in themselves are so nice. I love them all. NOW, lets hope the scale is down this week. I lost 3 1/2 lbs last week. At least I hope I don't show a gain.
It has been a nice weekend..Joanne

Great loss, Joanne! It was probably lurking and just poked out to put you in a great mood.

I'm in one this a.m. Up and ready to knock off whatever I've put on the last week or so. Off to the pool today too.

Come on, spring, motivation, energy, exercise and all the good stuff!

Good Monday to all.

Good job Joanne...and:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANNE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Bet you didn't know I could sing that good, did you!!!

I lost 2 pounds last week. Now, if I can just do that good the next 7 weeks before Easter, I have a beautiful red, white and blue dress in the closet that I can wear and I won't have to buy a new one!

The men are coming to measure my house for carpet tonight. Gotta go clean closets! UGH!

Joanne, I hope you are having a wonderful birthday.

Marlene - so sorry to hear that you are in pain. Hope it passes soon.

Ally and Meme - Such busy gals - tearing the house apart. Glad you stood your ground there Ally.

Anagram - nice to hear from you. You sound happy.

It is still pretty cold here. It is STARTING to warm up a little, but now it is going to start snowing. Just when I wanted spring to SPRING

A Happy Birthday from me too, Joanne. My uncle (almost like an older brother since we're only 4 and a half years apart and lived close) turned 70 yesterday and today my sister turned 59. Lots of company! You deserve to make out well on your birthday.

Thank You All for the Birthday wishes.
Happy , My hubby got a kick out of the lady in the tub. That is just about what I did. I like to read in a hot tub of water.
Anagram- I have no uncles left. They have all gone to another place. I remember when My G/mother passed away. Her funeral was small. A family member said all her friends have died. She was 94.
Meme- I heard you singing! Thank You.
Well it is back to real life and Dr. appointments today. Just routine thank god.
Bye...Joanne

But with a spring in your step, Joanne, from all that love!

Dh has two dr. appts today as well. I think we should have a better hobby. But I'm feeling more spring like. It's not here yet but they're dangling a 60 in front of us for Sat. I'll believe it when I see it. It was 27 when I was out this morning.
