    Good morning all

    Sher & Deb...Your doing so good on your OP...The pic's prove it.
    wished I could say the same about myself.

    My Sis,Daughter and I are going to Fld. in late June can't wait...

    Sorry for some of the hardships some of you have been going thru. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Been enjoying my new car...Feel like a grown up with it and not depending on hubby....Now if can just keep daughter out of it.
    She gets really mad when I tell her NO....but you know what to bad.

    Everyone have a good week.

    Vicki

    A Smile goes a long Way!!!

    Glad to hear from ya Vicster, you little hot rodn' mamma! Sounds like you love the car! So happy to hear that you have your own new toy! Enjoy it!!

    Sher: Your loss sounds about right. Your averaging a 2 pound loss per week plus you are gainng muscle from the exercise. Have you taken your measurements? Have I told you that I think your doing SUPER??

    Titan Dee: Had to chuckle over the "double dose" comment!

    Busy day today, getting ready to ship the hubby out again until Thursday. Funny, he can sit around here all Winter, then when we have tons of yard work and house stuff to be done, thats when he ends up out of town!

    Thought I would share these "Home Remedies" with you.You never know...do you?

    1. Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost
    immediately, without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional
    pain relievers.

    2. Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for
    burns.

    3. Before you head to he drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with
    mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong
    Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

    4. Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish
    in 1/2 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then
    apply it as massage oil, for instant relief of aching muscles.

    5. Sore Throat?? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and
    Take 1 Tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

    6. Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two
    tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms.
    Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost
    instantly-even though the product was never been advertised for this
    use.

    7. Eliminate puffiness under your eyes... All you need is a dab of
    Preparation H carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The
    Hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling
    instantly.

    8. Honey remedy for Skin Blemishes...... Cover the blemish with a dab of
    honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps
    the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

    9. Listerine therapy for toenail fungus....Get rid of unsightly toenail
    fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful
    antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.

    10. Easy eyeglass protection....To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from
    loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish
    to the threads of the screws before tightening them.

    11. Coca-Cola cure for rust...Forget those expensive rust removers. Just
    saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca-Cola and scrub the rust stain.
    The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

    12. Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer....If menacing bees,
    wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find
    the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the
    ground instantly.

    13. Smart splinter remover.....just pour a drop of Elmers Glue-all over
    the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The
    splinter sticks to the dried glue.

    14. Hunt's tomato paste boil cure....Cover the boil with Hunt's tomato
    paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and
    bring the boil to a head.

    15. Balm for broken blisters.....To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a
    few drops of Listerine....a powerful antiseptic.

    16. Heinz vinegar to heal bruises...Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar
    and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the
    blueness and speeds up the healing process.

    17. Kills fleas instantly. Dawn dishwashing liquid does the trick. Add a
    few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly.
    Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.

    18. Rainy day cure for dog odor....Next time your dog comes in from the
    rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet,
    instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.

    19. Eliminate ear mites....All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn
    oil in your cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball.
    Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers
    the mites, and accelerates healing.

    20. Vaseline cure for hairballs.....To prevent troublesome hairballs,
    apply a dollop of vaseline petroleum jelly to your cat's nose. The
    cat will lick off the jelly, lubricating any hair in its stomach so it
    can pass easily through the digestive system.

    21. Quaker Oats for fast pain relief....It's not for breakfast anymore!
    Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in
    the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your
    hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.

    SHERRY.....YOU SILLY GOOSE!!!!! 17 pounds in 2 months is FANTASTIC!!!!! You have done great, so stop doubting yourself!!

    GAYLE......I'm so sorry Liz didn't pass. I'm sure she is disapointed, but she will bounce back and do just fine next time.
    Good luck with all the in-laws and out-laws at graduation. Look at it this way......there probably won't be a dull moment!!! LOL

    Debbie, Shelley, Sherry and any others involved with public schools.....I hope you can get through these last few days with your sanity intact! LOL My brother-in-law is a high school biology teacher and he said he is just giving them busy work because NONE of them has any desire to learn ANYTHING at this point. Whew, I really admire you guys!!!!

    Cheryl, Jeanne, Dee, Titan Dee, Carol, Vicki, Jennelle, Doni, I hope I didn't forget anyone....have a great day!!!!!!!

    Love,
    Ramona

    #6 - Drinking cranberry juice for urinary tract infections really does work, too.

    Sherry that is great weight loss. Feel proud women. You will hit plateau's in your weight loss but you may lose double next week. Don't give up and get discouraged, keep it up. It will pay off. thanks for the great hints.

    Ramona did you go to the funerals for your friend and daughter? How is your town coping?

    Gayle I am sorry to hear that Liz didn't make it. June isn't that far away when she can try again. This time she will be more prepared. Shipping out hubby again. I know the feeling because when they are gone everything falls on you or it doesn't get done.

    I think my girlfriend (the one I walk with) are gonna run away June 1 to June 6. We need a break. We are planning on going to Jamaica. Yipee. Now to tell the hubbys. Just a Godess convention. No guys or kids. Anyone want to come????

    Will give more details later. Got to go for a shower.
    Hope you all have a good day.

    Oh Dee, can I stow away in your luggage?????? What a fun trip. I hope you have a great time.
    The funeral is on Wednesday. Tomorrow night is a Rosary and visitation. I'm going to call the elementary school that Taylor went to and where her mother was a room volunteer and see if I can donate two books to the library in their names.

    Cheryl, best of luck with the interview. Did you get hit by the storms last week? We lost power in Russellville for 18 hours!!

    later all,
    Ramona

    Boy it sure seems like I only get on here one a week anymore to post. But my heart is in the right place girls.

    Sherry: You are doing great!!! I hope I can lose 17 lbs in 2 months!!! Keep it up girl. Have you heard anything more about your mamagram results?

    Day 32 of staying OP. I can't believe I am doing it this time!!!
    I am down 2 more lbs this week, so I guess I can cheer for myself a bit. I am sure I will reach a plateau at some point also.

    Debbie: You are doing great with all you have been through. Keep up the good work!!! (and it is work isn't it!!)

    It sounds to me like we all need vacations!! Jamiaca sounds just heavenly...

    To all the rest of my floozie friends. Keep up the good work.. whether it is getting a new car, getting the summer off with school out, vacations, or just keeping our families happy and healthy. Whatever makes our days a little easier and brighter, it all translates to happier and healthier us!!

    I love you gals!!!
