I'm baaaaccccckkkkk!
Baylee: It's so good to have you home again!
15" is wonderful! I would take 15" of less jiggle anytime, no matter what the scale says. * Hope your abs are feeling better. * The oatmeal cookies sound great. I'll be trying those real soon. * Your granddaughter should be whipped. (Not really, I never believed in 'whipping') That's just really a shame, sorry to hear that a family member took advantage of you.
J-ann: Sounds like you are back on track. Good for you! Stick with it.
2cute: It's so great to see you on this new weightloss high! Good for you, stay with it.
Katrina: What a storm! My DH usually decides to let me drive just before a storm too. What's with that??? * Ok, you asked for it, spin this. We left for up north in a caravan with my girlfriend and 2 teenagers in one vehicle, her husband, MIL (who has dementia and is very confused) and another teenager in another vehicle and my DH and I taking 2 more teenagers in our vehicle. We were at my friend's at 11:00 to leave, we didn't leave their house until 1:00 (sat around for 2 hours, listening to them yell orders to everyone about getting ready) We stopped at Big Boys for breakfast/lunch an hour up the road and found that the husband's (hers, not mine) truck's alternator was going so we found a auto parts and bought a new alternator. Got back on the road at 3:30 (it's still another 4.5 hour drive). Long story short (too late
) we got to the lodge at 8:00 and I made dinner for everyone, we ate around 9:30! MIL is up every half hour during the night shuffling feet down the hallway talking to the dog. Oh, did I mention the dog? Monday: Got drunk, the day is mostly a blurrrrr!!!
At night, MIL does the 'granny shuffle' once again all night, this time yelling 'where's the bathroom in this place' as she goes. Tuesday: Friend's husband decides to go to the casino with girlfriend's father, uncle and sister who were also there with sister's son. Said they would be a couple of hours, left at 11:00 and returned at 8:00 at night (so much for nice visit) In the meantime, back at the lodge, girlfriend's middle son (who has had brain surgery several times and isn't all quite there anymore) decides to go on several 'missions', gets cranky, gets out brother's gun, big fight.....luckily no one got hurt!
Later......this kid, who is addicted to big time drugs because of major headaches, ransacks his dad's pants pockets to find the key to the prescription meds box and takes/hides bunches and bunches of pills and now mom and dad don't have enough for their aches and pains for the rest of the month, and.........he also takes/ingests a bunch, parents find pills missing, big fight ensues........child ends up crashed in the chair, dad sleeps with pill box on his chest for safe keeping. Wednesday: We got up early and got the heck out of there! Now.......aren't you sorry you asked? And this was just a nibble of the story!
Mary: I got a perm on Thursday. Couldn't stand going to the reunion the way I looked.
LuckyLadyBug: Thanks for the second installment. I'm saving it all to a disk. * Is your car ok from all the hail? *

I think this really sums it up. No one cares to get out for anything any more. We strive to get the closest parking spots, drive up at the bank, drive thru to get a burger. We don't walk children to school, we drive them. We have become a very immobile society.
Marusha: Sounds like you'll be standing in line for Mel's attention. Too many heart-throbs here waiting for him to become available.
Malia: Hopefully with 2 months to go, you're mom will be fine for the trip. *fingers crossed*
Michelle: Our windows need to be replaced too, just don't want the mess!
Tina: I'm so sorry for your loss. Special people like Linda come around but once in a lifetime. I know how much you'll miss her. [[[[[[[hugs]]]]]]]QUOTE]Sometimes I think food isn’t as much an issue as our lack of movement in this society. [/QUOTE]
Sara: I'm sorry about your sister's bad news. That doesn't sound good at all and I know how hard it is to be 'here' when they are 'there'. [[[hugs]]]
Well, girls, I hope I caught up with everyone. If I missed someone, please forgive me. Hey, what happened to Car? Did we scare 'em off already?
I've been here for hours. Gotta run. Love
to all!
