Love the Fall leaves Sher!!!!

I could actually drink more then the 3 cups of java.... that's usually all that is left for me in the A.M. after hubby gets his share.

Dee: Congrats on being a double blessed Aunt!!!! I will make sure and include that poor girl in my prayers! She will have her hands full!!!!

I have decided that I am sick and tired of this weight! all of my clothes are to tight, which are the after effects of me getting to "cocky" and lax in my eating habits. Back to the watching every single bite that enters this face! I am down one day.....

I hope everyone is doing okay... post when you have a chance!!

Sherry those leaves are but a past memory here. We have snow covering everything. It has been mild the last few days. Rest up and get back here. Better to maintain than to gain.

Gayle one day at a time. I am trying to lose what I gainned but it is a daily struggle I just can't make it through the days sometime.

Last winter I was drinking a pot of coffee myself just to keep warm. I have changed over to decaf when I am at home. Three times a week when I walk with the girls I have 2 cups of regular.

Have a good day everyone.

Hey Vickster! Glad your back!!! I know, I know, you wouldn't be able to take MIL on the cruise with ya... she would be flirting with all the guys.... What is meiners disease? Is it serious?

Sher: thanks for the pep talk. I guess I need to just face reality that I will always have an issue with food. I wonder why I gain weight, then I sit back and think about how much I really have ate. The good Lord did not bless me with thin genes, so I guess I just need to work harder at staying away from the bad stuff. But why does it have to taste soooooooo good?

We still need to wait a week before we can sample the brew. I mixed up a gallon of wine tonight, if all goes well, it should be ready to sample by Christmas. It's a mix from Canada that included everything except the sugar. Steve ordered me one of the "professional" mixes and it should be in this week. I plan on mixing it up and having it ready to bottle on New Years. Cheers! BTW: I will be making 5 gallons of the stuff!

Another day on plan!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I need to keep my act together so I can fit into something Thanksgiving day!!!

Have a Great OP day!!!!!!!! Love, Gayle

Gayle,

WTG on another day OP!!!!!!!! Hang in there....don't give up! You CAN do it!!!!!!!

I forgot to tell you something.My Mom has made WINE in the past.When she's done, she puts a balloon on the lip of the jug.When the wine is ready, the balloon POPS!!! Cool huh???

Have a great OP day!!!!!!

Sherry (Sher-Bear)

Sher, I remember my folks making wine when I was a kid. They used grape juice concentrate, sugar and yeast. Stuck it in a glass bottle with a balloon on the top. I remember watching the balloon go up and down... I don't know how my family lived without getting botulism sp? or something... no preservatives, sanitizers, nothing. I remember it tasted like a strong, cheap wine. The balloon is for the release of the gases that build from the yeast "eating" the sugar. You can also just stick a piece of plastic wrap secured with a rubber band over the top,then poke a tiny hole in it with a pin. The gas needs to release, otherwise you will have a huge mess!!! This recipe did suggest that when I think it is done fermenting, to place a balloon on the top for a few days. If it does not expand, then it is ready to go. Everyone stresses to really make sure your wine is fermented well. If you place it in the bottles and cork and it is not done, you will have bottles exploding everywhere! What a mess!

HAVE A GREAT OP DAY TODAY FELLOW FLOOZIES!!!!!!!!

HEY WHERE DID ALL MY BUDDIES GO?

What's everyone busy doing?
Must be doing something if you don't have time to post!
I am busy filling my face and I still have time to post.
How about we all gather here today and post a short one.
Hope to hear from you all before the busy weekend is here.

Hello to all

I was browsing through all the threads and found my self here maybe the word floozie caught my eye well any how's I put my vote in on the coffee thing NOPE don't touch the stuff never have HOWEVER soda was my morning coffee actually i used to drink 2 liters of the poison a day that is up til 10 months ago I finally called it quits because it hurt my stomach to much and has eaten away my throat lining well now i can't even take a sip. everyone used to say get off the soda and you'll see the pounds just drop off HA! HA! HA! nothing left these thighs. Oh well it do feel better about breaking that horrorible habit now i'm working on lowering my carbs well girls and (guys if there's any out there) i'll stop chatting and catch you all later.

And remember that chocolate cake can be pounded into a huge pile of musshy goo instead of you eating it and gaining a pound or two.

Love & Light
