Good morning, ladies! 76 degrees right now. We had a lot of thunderstorms last night and it poured. Casper and I will be going for a walk before lunch.
Faye, you'll look nice on that cruise for sure. I hate to shop but all my clothes are at least one-size too big right now so I might go this weekend and see what I can find for fall. This is back-to-school tax free weekend so that saves 5.5% besides what I can find on sale. Tobacco is more addicting than heroin. Stan could never stop and he tried all the patches. My Dad couldn't either. It's kind of like losing weight. Everyone wants to, but 95% of the folks who do gain it all back because the draw of food is too big and they keep on eating the same foods they did while overweight in the first place. Eating everything in moderation just doesn't work over the long haul.
Jean, I hope that water pipe will keep your basement from getting so flood when you have the big rains. That can't be fun. I really miss my basement but the water table is so high, we just can't have them here. It sure cuts down on storage space, which now that I think about it is probably a good thing!
Maggie, I'm glad you finally have your computer just the way you want it. With all your recipes, do you use Master Cook? I just got an upgrade notice this morning. It will now let you import recipes and pictures from any website and figure the nutritionals for you. It's only 15 dollars for the upgrade so I'll probably get it. I've used it for years.
Have a wonderful day.

♪ ♥♫ GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS☺♫
It is currently in the 90ºs and I all is well in the ♥-Land. I am typing this on my old computer because I kept getting kicked off the internet while using my new one. It has some glitch in it and is now back at the shop. They are going to scrape it down to the bare bones and see if they can rid it of what is bothering it. It was working fine but something was causing it to get a disconnect signal. I had my post all typed out and transferred to the 3FC site and I got a disconnect and poof my post was gone. Irritating to say the least and I don’t have the inkling to re-type everything ove agan right now so I am not going to do any personals.
Have a great day MAGNOLIAS and I will type at y’all later.
Good morning, ladies. Another day with storms. At least the temperature is staying down in the low 80s. My AC hardly runs at all.
I've been to church and passed on eating breakfast at Ducan Donuts. I came home and had a nice Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate shake (25 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs) and that will keep me full until around 1 pm.
I need to do some laundry and vacuum the downstairs today. I cleaned out the fridge and restocked it yesterday. I'm loving all the fruits and vegetables that are in season now. j
Maggie, Master Cook costs $20 for the new version 14. I've had it since the 2nd version. I love it. You can add your own recipes, scan them in, load them from websites and it figures the nutrition for you (based on USDA). You can put in meals. I plan my whole week in it, print it out with the recipes I'll need and it also creates the shopping list which you can modify to remove things you have on hand or add what else you might need.
Jean, I have 3 friends whose husbands restore old cars. Bob is the only one I know who collects tractors! My friends don't mind for when when they want a new sewing machine for more fabric, etc. they have the what the husband spends on his cars to justify their purchases. LOL
Hi Faye! I hope the commissary wasn't too bad!
Have a blessed day!
Good afternoon, ladies! 79 degrees and sunshine and low humidity! A perfect day.
I went to the gym this morning for Tai Chi, Water Aerobics, Water Zumba, and Yoga. It was a lot of fun. I have a behavior modification for the research study I'm doing at 5:30 and that's it for today.
Faye, your sister is lucky to be alive with oxygen levels that low. I have and oximeter and measure mine every morning and it runs about 97% with medication. You have a lot of dresses...I have 4. Mostly I wear pants. I hope you get you things from the dress shop this week.
Jean, I'm a steamed shrimp and veggies girl at a Chinese restaurant unless they have a habachi and I can chose my meet and vegetables. I don't do breaded and fried stuff. It just doesn't taste good to me after being away from it for so long.
Hi, Maggie!
Have a wonderful day.
Good evening, ladies! Rain all day and it only got up to 70. What weather!
I had to work today so nothing happening.
Jean, my behavior modification classes with the research study are classes where we all get together with the nutritionist, doctor or psychologist and talk about how to handle things like stress, moods, health foods, why we should avoid or include certain foods, etc. We have them every Monday from 5:30-6:30 pm. Every 2 weeks we have individual meetings with our consolor to discuss how we are doing with our individual plan, things that might be bothering us, things we need help with, etc. It's a wonderful program. Once a quarter I go to Baltimore to Johns Hopkin for more extensive testing than they do at the research center here. I'm so glad I got the low carb plan because it is very easy for me to do, I'm never hungry and I have no cravings. My breathing has improved because I have less inflammation. I'll definitely continue this way of eating on my own when the study is over next spring. Since I no longer can recommend WW with a clear conscious, I turned in my resignation last Saturday and they asked me to continue until Sept 1 and then I'll be done.
That's really neat for the kids to get their picture in the paper for their birthdays.
Hi Maggie and Faye! Hope everything is okay with you.
