Vickie, that is impressive not licking the frosting. I ended today with over 30 points. Not a good start to the new week. Tomorrow I'll do better. Enjoy your company.

Coco, I may be saying the same thing in a few weeks, but so far so good with the online stuff. I saw some blueberry plants for sale at Lowe's. They don't grow well here. I don't understand why they're trying to sell them.

Hi All:

Here is one of the stories about the mess in Washington. I was at 1st and D, which is mentioned. Huffington Post has another article about the "purple tunnel" mess. We decided that we were not going to the tunnel because my niece said it made no sense to go there in terms of the maps. I'm so glad we didn't go there. To be that packed together and in a tunnel would have been even worse.

I gained a pound last week, but I think it will go away quickly. I didn't have much control over what was available to eat while I was on my short trip. But, it's not taking long to get back on the wagon. But, I'm just not getting the I have promised to do.

I had a major breakthrough at work today about a problem that has been with us for almost a year. I hope that solving that will remove a big burden off my shoulders and that I'll get more focus on my own sweet self!

A very good friend of mine has just told me that she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is in her mid-40's and has a young family. I'm heartbroken, as you can imagine. I'm having a serious "what's it all about" time right now.

Good Morning Ladies

Had a little problem with the computer this morning won't let me go into any of my websites.We had to restart the it in order for it to work properly again.

Looks like it going to rain or something.Hope it not going to be another stay home weekend. I getting cabin fever.

COCO-I'm on Lescol for my cholesterol and Tricor for the triglycerides.Even if my #'s are low,I have to stay on my meds for life,as my liver is not functioning correctly.Hope that your DH #'s will be back to normal shortly.

SANDRA-CONGRATS on your weight loss. I don't miss the meeting as much as I miss the new friends that i made there. But I can't see paying for sometime that you can get online.Thanks for the confidence in me ,but You know the old saying "you can't teach a old dog new tricks". That applies to me, as I wouldn't know where to start. I 'm so afraid that I would contaminate the bottles with botulism. Even if they have new ways of doing it,I rather not try.

PAULA-Thanks,we both feel like & hope the cancer is gone for good. He doesn't feel that fatigued anymore so that's a good sign.Hope & pray we get the answer on Tuesday. I tried of the snow myself, have been housebound for now 4 weekends in a row, would love to be with my friends again for our usual Sunday Brunch. Looks like we're going to have storm or something coming in,its very dark & dingy this morning.

RHONDA-Sorry about you pound,but that will go away soon as it is just water retention or fatigue with all the traveling you've done.OMG !!! I'm so sorry about your friend,and being so young.SENDING PRAYERS HER WAY.WE NEED A MIRACLE HERE,hope its still possible that she can be treated.


Have a great morning, will come back some time this afternoon

[Tejas]

Yes, we need a miracle. There is research that says that even people who do not believe in prayer, who do not even know they are being prayed for, do better. She mentioned this to me: so add her to your prayers. I don't want to put her name on an open board. Most people don't know about it yet.

The treatment will be to give her time, hopefully.

I'm making an egg, green chili and cottage cheese casserole for our brunch, then I'm going with some friends to see Slumdog Millionaire, followed by an early dinner. DH is staying home. He says that it's too cold to go out. He's right: it's 5 F out there!

Have a great OP day everyone.

HI
Well it is cooler here today. 26 degrees and then the temp is suppose to start dropping. Had a few snow flurries earlier. Have a dusting.
Well had been on here trying to find a filter for my sweeper. Guess I will have to call drit devil. Said they couldnt find my model#. I need a new hepa filter. I have had the sweeper probably around 5 years or more. And have never changed the filter. So it really need is now.
TEJAS I am so sorry about your friend. You and her and her family are in my prayers.
BEACHBUM When hubby was on lipator his liver counts tripled and he hurt really bad. So they said he couldnt take that anymore. I cant read what the Dr is prescribing now. But will take it to our drugstore and see what it is. The sites Vickie sent me were really helpful and interesting.
VICKIE how are you doing.
ONTARGET Are you doing any gardening today. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
Well I am going to get off here.
Thinking of everyone.

Has anyone tried the chocolate pb2. Guess it is a powder and you mix with water. Just wondering how it would taste.
Thanks

[blessedwithsarah]

Has anyone tried Better' Peanut Butter? Its a low fat brand. Wondering if it worth a try?

[ontarget]

Rhonda, that's so sad about your friend. I will say some prayers for her.

Coco, it's cooler here today, too. We need rain and are due to get some early next week. No gardening today. It was cold and windy. I am watching some morning glories grow (from seeds) right here in the livingroom. Curtis said, "You can almost see them grow." He's right. Those little boogers are shooting up fast.

I haven't tried either of those products.

Hi Ladies


Got to bed late last night and had a hard time getting up and ready for church.Than my friends & I went to for our favorite brunch place. Had French toast with bacon and 1 c decaf coffee with H&H,all totaling to 9pts.I see now that it wasn't core friendly.

Hope it doesn't effect me on the scale at tomorrow's W-I.


RHONDA-She on my prayer list and I did pray for her last night. Of course I understand about putting her name on the board. The Lord know who I'm praying for.Hopefully the treatment will work for her. We go tomorrow to see what the petscan read,so I won't be on the board until the afternoon. Hope you had a great time with your friends.


COCO-Lipitor didn't help me at all ,some how my totals still were high after taking it. Now that my doctor switched me to Lescor & Tricor my Numbers of down. No I never tried chocolate PB2.Whats is it???? some like Nutella???[the hazelnut spread] I use Teddies Natural PB.


PAULA-I'm really skeptical trying any new PB now that we have the PB scare with PB products.called salmonella contamination.


Have a great afternoon I going to watch the Bob Hope golf tournament,see you gals later.

Hi
BEACHBUM I hope the DR appt goes well tomorrow. You guys are and will be in my prayers. The peanut butter I was asking about. It is a powder. And I guess all you do is add water. Comes in chocolate and regular flavors.
BLESSEDWITHSARAH I havent tried the peanut butter. Where do you find it. Guess the one I am asking about. You can only get it from the internet. The other day on here they had a ad. I have a e-mail address for it. But dont know if I would be allowed to post it.
ONTARGET hope you get your rain. We are at 21 degrees and some very fine snow right now.
Well I am not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow night. I have had a hard week. I have and want to eat everything in sight. But I have to get back in control.
I would like to lose 10 to 15 lbs between now and the middle of March. But at this rate. That will not happen.
Well I will get off here for now.
Guess we are going to go to bother-in-law.
I hope everyone is having a great Sunday.
Thinking of everyone.

Maryann, I hope all goes well at the doctor's. Your brunch sounds good. I had a high point bfast today, too, but that's all right. I ended the day just using 4 WAP's.

Coco, we're due for rain the next 2 days. I hope we get it.

I shot again today and did much much better than yesterday. I think I've identified my problem so now I can work on making corrections. Life is good.

Have a great op Sunday evening, everyone.
