Oooh, Gunsmoke! You are a REAL party animal, not just a wannabe like me! I'm playing games on Gamesville while watching the game (commercials), blowdrying and straightening my hair, and folding clothes.

All Air Force people are gone, thank goodness. They'll be back first week of March and then we have people going there for some testing. I have to get cracking and have all my stuff done by then that they're taking with them.

Paula, that is scary! I'm glad on one hand that they didn't find anything, but sometimes you just want a diagnosis ... ANY diagnosis ... so they can fix it! I hope your regular doctor can get you in quickly and get things adjusted.

I just had to put the pizza away in the fridge and there was one little piece rattling around in a big ol' box. What to do, what to do? Oh, I know! Eat it! So I did.

Tomorrow morning is "get serious" time.

Jim and I LOVE Cola chicken! It sounds absolutely disgusting but it's truly yummy. I use the recipe that calls for worchestire (sp?), dash of cayenne, and I also add garlic to the ketchup and soda. You have to be patient and let it cook down a while so that the sauce gets thick. It's worth the wait. I serve it with Angela's oven fries. We feel so decadent! I probably serve it at least twice a month.

[Vickie]

Kath, pizza has been calling my name lately also. I'm glad there's not "rattling" around in my house.

[Vickie]

Night Chicks. I'm going to shower and sit on the couch with Honey Lamb since the game is almost over.

Talk to you all in the morning.

[septembersgoal]

Hey you guys, it's great to see everybody back here today.

Kathy, I hope that you are relaxing while doing all of that! Glad to know where Saundra is as well. She had a nice long trip! And hey, only one piece of pizza isn't too bad. I wouldn't have been able to stop.

Vickie, thanks for asking, I did nap on and off today. Did you post that pork chop cola recipe? I LOVE the cola chicken but don't fix it very often because it takes so long. When I get home from work I want something fast. I always serve it with baked potatos and sop up the juice. Sorry to hear that you have to pay so much on your taxes. It just seems ridiculous doesn't it?

Sandra, I was concerned about you. Too bad Montana is so far away. I was watching "Sell this House" today and it was in Montana. So beautiful! When are you coming to KY again? I remember it was around DH's bday.

Paula, I'm so sorry to hear that you have been experiencing medical problems too. It's going around I think. I hope that they can figure something out quickly!

I am feeling so cruddy tonight and trying to decide whether or not to go to the doctor tomorrow. This ALWAYS happens to me: either I go too early, and they won't give me anything, or I go too late and I am super sick. I can never win. I'm a bad judge of illness I think. But my throat feels like it has pins in it and it is starting to feel like it's going into my ear. I don't know whether to go or wait another day. I guess I'll wait and see what I feel like in the morning.

Well I suppose I'm off for the evening. Going to bed asap. Night.

Oh, Vickie, I meant to say please don't stop with the menu thread. I haven't been posting because I haven't been core (or anything for that matter) lately. But it is encouraging to read everyone else's menus, and when I get myself back on the wagon (tomorrow? ) then I will be posting again. It was my only form of journaling.

[Katpo]

Melissa, hopefully by morning you'll feel either lots better or lots worse, and will be able to determine whether a trip to the doctor would help. Zicam is some good stuff if you think it's early in the cold and they won't give you anything else.

I'm going to fold one more load of clothes and get ready to watch Grey's Anatomy.

[ontarget]

kathy, pizza often calls my name, too. the only ones we have in the house right now are those 3 pt ff ones. hmmmmmmmm? maybe tomorrow night. i have been folding clothes, too. i have one load on the loveseat waiting and one in the dryer. it never ends, does it?

vickie, your cola chicken sounds good. did you see that pepsi commercial where the diet coke can got squished?

melissa, i hope you're feeling better in the am. if not, go to the doctor and get some help. we're flying to louisville march 16 and will be there through the weekend. i think you mentioned earlier it was around aaron's birthday. curtis was very depressed today. i was afraid he'd put our house up for sale. the man gets moody. he probably needs something for depression. he's in pain all the time due to his shoulders. i don't know how he deals with it.

[Katpo]

Geez, Sandra, put your house up for sale and move where? Would he feel better living somewhere else? Is it the weather? Poor guy, I wonder why they can't give him something for his pain.

Speaking of joints and such, my dad is having his other knee replaced next week. He had one done 3-4 years ago. I guess I'll go over to Tyler the Saturday after the surgery, which is on the 17th.

Now I'm really getting off of here. See you in the morning!

Morning Everyone
YEAH STEELERS!!
Well not much happening here yet. Snowing some. Nothing major. Just enough to make the roads a little bit touchy.
And I have to go down the road here in a little bit. Not far. But on this road it is one of the last ones to be treated. I hope it isnt bad later on today. Tonight is my weigh in night.
Well I hear the guys so better go get their breakfast. So everyone have a great day.
I am thinking of all of you.

Oh sorry. Forgot. Someone sent me a card from this site. But it wont let me get it. Says the card is old. Or the number is wrong. Cause I have tried both ways to get it. The one were you click on the site address with the number already. And then I tried it myself. And it was just sent to me Saturday eve. Cause I sent one. And they got it. Any ideas how to get it.

Good morning, all! I'm up and at'em already at work (actually been here for quite a while). I don't think I slept very well so it was fairly easy to get up since I was just lying there anyway.

Coco, don't know what to tell you. The link should take you to the card. I think you have some real issues with either your computer or internet browser.

It's quiet here for now because nobody's here yet. I have a few phone calls to make though; apparently I left my debit card at the nail place Saturday afternoon. Oops! I hope they have it. Kate had a good time at her party and I enjoyed my evening too. It was nice and peaceful.

Better get busy. BBL.

[Vickie]

Good Morning Chicks! I slept until 7:15 and so far my neck isn't quite as sore as it has been. I'm still babying it, though, because I could tell that it I move the wrong way it'll will pop again.

I'm sitting here feeling very sad. I'm supposed to go to WW. I NEED to go to WW today. I'm sure that I'm up another 3 pounds according to my scale. I still have TOM but I don't think that's it. I've been eating too much Core food out of stress. I need to just break the eating cycle here and I need to go weigh in. There.....now the question is have I convinced myself?

Melissa, I didn't post the pork chop recipe but I will later today. I usually don't post them until after I try them and they're good. I'm glad you napped. Since you didn't feel any better from resting, and, in fact, feel worse, I'd go to the Doctor this morning if I were you. It sounds like your crud might be turning into something worse.

Sandra, poor Curtis! Of course he's depressed. Who wouldn't be depressed with constant pain? I get depressed with just chronic discomfort. Unless you've had that constant unrelenting bad feeling, it's hard to understand. He probably needs something for the pain AND depression. Can he have any more surgeries? Is the cold weather making it worse for him? I hope you both figure it out together.

Coco, congratulations on your Steelers! It wasn't me who sent the card. I don't have anyone's email addresses from here. How's DH?

Kath, did you get your laundry done? I didn't get to see Grey's Anatomy but it's on DVR.

Well, time for me to go make a menu thread. It's getting time for me to make my decision on whether or not to go to WW. I guess I should go. I still gained the weight whether or not I actually go and get on the scale. I might as well go. Maybe something will help me in the meeting.

[septembersgoal]

Hey gals--I went to work for about 1 1/2 hours but my throat just got worse and worse. So I'm home now and going to the doctor in about half an hour. I'll let you all know how it goes. I've basically decided I have strep or just a viral infection for which they can do nothing. It sounds awful, but I hope it's strep.
I'll BBL to chat. I hope everyone's around, because I'll be lonely.

[Vickie]

Melissa, I'm sorry you're worse but I'm very happy that you came home AND that your Doctor is fitting you in today. You must be there now. I hope you get some drugs that make you well again.

I gained another 2.6 for a total of 5.8 in the last two weeks. This HAS to stop. TOM is still hanging around a bit but I don't think it's what caused the gain. I am disgusted and very sad.

Talk to you all later.
