Just a note on Gator's virus alert. It sounds more like someone has stolen your email identity and is using it to send out a virus. There are plenty of programs being written that mine the internet and emails for addresses to use for this purpose. You can check the source if you know how to read the code, and you can usually find the emails were sent out from another address, using yours as a cover. Its not hard to do this. To help combat this, when you send out emails, do NOT just send to a bunch of people in the send area. In that area, put only one address, and then do a BCC, or blind carbon copy, to others you want to email it to. This way, no one can steal your addresses.

Happy Survivor Night!
Hi Y'all,
Did lots of shopping today and had fun - Serene went with me.... at lunch and after work - then I stopped to buy some foundation at the estee lauder counter when I was pretty much coerced into a make over because the poor sales girl was bored.... Now I look like a lady of the evening and thankfully had no where to go after buying the make up other than home to watch Survivor.... JACKK!!!!!! Oh it is so wonderful to hear the good news that you are healing so quickly - it is a good thing to be home and enjoy it while it lasts! Because soon it will be over, you will be completely mended, and you will be back to the 9-5 routine!!!! Plus, you don't want to over do it, and end up hurting.... Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! Yellow - I am sorry I will miss you all at the Soiree - I have wanted to visit Fruit's house for ages now, not to mention the fact that I think Missy is a real hoot and whirlwind of fun, and then I get the chance, and I cannot! Boo Hoo!!!! Serene was saying that she is heartbroken to be missing you guys ... and wishing she could go for just a weekend. You will all just have to share the event with photos and stories/posts.... TV - I was MIA too for a while, and just came back - so you are not alone!!!! We can get back into the swing of our posts together!!!! Heart - That is great that you got the 4 mile tape!!! Keep up the good work. ldblond - That is so sweet = 18 years! I know what you mean about not telling the kids that you started dating when you were so young ;) I definitely won't be sharing things with my kid, EVER!! hahaha Sef - we are having that same weather - it is actually very strange - it was warm one minute, very cold the next, bouncing back and forth - foggy now and temps dropping - everything feels so humid and damp... I don't mind the cold - just wish it were a bit drier... Hope you get them bones warm!!!! Pancho - Hope the little one gets better soon - nothing worse for a mom than a sick kidlet!!! Cheryl - Hugs to you and dd.... I agree that better safe than sorry and go with that gut instinct!!! Your a good mama and your dd will be so much better for quick thinking!! Growing up is painful, and a lot of teens just seem to need that helping hand...and lucky for your dd, she has such a caring mom to support her..... Well, off to do some cleaning, I have a PartyLite Candle Party on Saturday morning - a favor for a friend... and because of that, plus having been so sick with that nasty, yuchy virus, my house went to "pot" and now I am cleaning, mopping, dusting like a madwoman...house smells good :) Sabrina |
Monet, it's either that or someones computer has been infected with a virus that uses their address book to find addresses under which to send out virus/spam messages. I'm not sure whether to wait it out or to change my e-mail address. Apparently the mydoom virus is in the attachment that goes out with these e-mails. Thanks for the heads up re. using the BCC. The only time I included all the addresses in the "to" line was when a fill-in-the blanks e-mail was making the rounds about 2-3 weeks ago between some of the SB gals. So I figured that someone might have an "infected" computer.
TV, glad to see you back and happy to see that you have found a good doctor. |

Morning ladies. It's cold here, sleeting now, we're expecting snow later tonight and in the morning. Sunday's supposed to be sunshine and 65. Crazy Texas weather. Poor Seth had to ride his bike to school today because he has detention this afternoon and won't be able to ride the bus. Maybe next time he'll get that progress review turned back in on time.
Lyn-I sent you an email with phone numbers. ID-How did you do your crockpot chicken? I just love my crockpot, especially in the wintertime. Heart-hang onto that wagon with me! TV-Sounds like you found a great doctor. That's awesome. Tranquil-Glad you're feeling better. Sometimes those "makeovers" can be a little much. GonnaB-Sounds like you found us just fine. Just hit Post Reply on the bottom left and post away. Welcome! Everybody have a great day and stay warm!! Trish |
Good morning. Everyone just left and I'm all alone so I hit the puter. Glad I have friends who are always there to talk to anytime. I have a Dr appt this afternoon. Hopefully he will remove 1 more drain tube. Wish all of them would go, but I'm sure it will be at least another week. Just a pain to fool with. They gave me a book of exercises to do. Did them all yesterday and could do the full range of motion. Nothing to work for.
Don't feel like sitting here anymore so only have a couple replies. Hope to get back into the full thing soon. Heart, I don't go to the oncologists until March 1, but I'm pretty sure I will need Chemo. I guess I need to start wig shopping. TV, Welcome back. I was diagnosed with Breast cancer a couple weeks ago. I had a bilateral mastecomy and TRAM flap reconstruction last Thursday. But I am doing great and will beat this thing. Tranquil, so glad to see you back on th board. Hope you are staying this time. Deb, are you not feeling well? Better take care so you will be up for the big trip. Need to run. Be back later. Jackie |

I have virus protection and constantly scan both my computer for spyware, hijacks and viruses. I have been getting, and I counted, up to 45 viruses e-mails sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. It is just unbelievable. My ISP warned us that this was going to be a bad month and it sure has been! Pancho That was really great of DH to order your ab thingy! Hope your girls don't get sick for vacation!! Yay Jack-k! Glad things are going well :) Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes for Heather. Well the scary thing about my DD was there is nothing to pinpoint the depression. When the shrink asked her to list what's bad in her life she had no answer. She loves her school, great friends, no secret sex life or drugs and alcohol. No problems with her parents. She finally just said the worst thing is feeling so sad and not knowing why. So yesterday after talking with another shrink they gave her a 2 week script for Wellbutrin to see if it a chemical thing. Needless to say I am totally stressed out! Even though I've been going to bed before 11 every nite I am pooped all day. Back to the boring quicken for more entry's! |
Hi Everyone
It seems like I am just a Friday poster these last couple of weeks. Didn't get around to posting much during the week. I've started using Fitday again and hope to see some results soons. I was down 2 pounds to 198 on Wednesday but was up again the next day to 201, even with good eating. Go figure. Anyway I have done good with my eating this week - have stayed op and trying to limit the starchy carbs. I've been keeping busy. I started playing table tennis again a couple of mornings a week as well as continuing with badminton three or four days a week and linedancing once a week. Oh and I even did some pedalling on the stationery bike a couple of times this week. I'm always telling people how I find this helps to keeps my knees flexible but most of the time I forget to do it :). Jack-K - I'm sure you will feel a lot more comfortable once those drainage tubes are out. I admire your positive attitude through all you have been through and what is to come with the chemo. Trishaloo - You sure seem to have crazy weather down in Texas. The weather here can be very changeable too, freezing one day and spring like the next, although we haven't had any of that lately. :(. V-Moore - I have some WATP tapes and they are by Susan Sansone. They are great although I have not used them for quite a while. GonnaB - Welcome to SB. Just go ahead and ask any questions you have. Someone is sure to be able to help you. Gator - I don't think that virus you have is coming from here. I'm like you and the only time I have replied to everyone is that one time with the questionaire. Usually if I want to reply by e-mail to anyone I would just reply to that person. TVthatsMe - Welcome back! Glad to hear that you have found a good doctor and hope that you can get your medical problems sorted out. HeartMom - Hope you enjoyed the roller skating. LdBlond - You were very controlled to spend only $30 at Costco. I often go in there for one or two things but never get out with spending less than a hundred or so. But then it is usually stuff that lasts a while as I like to stock up on salmon and tilapia when I go there. Congrats on your eighteen years together. Hope you enjoyed your Valentine's breakfast. I think you are wise not to tell your kids how early you started dating. :) We can't tell our kids everything now can we.;). Sef - Those sourdough pretzels are hard to resist aren't they. That's why I had to stop buying them. I found myself a new snack the other day called Heritage O's. They are made with whole wheat, kamut, barley and a few other grains and have 2.6 gms of sugar per 3/4 cup serving. I've only had one snack from them so far and that was just half a cup. They look like cheerios but are much more crunchy. Pancho - Hope Lane is better to-day and you can get away for your vacation in the snow. Have fun. CherylCo - Sorry to hear the problems that your daughter is having but good for you getting her the help she needs. Teenage years can be difficult enough without the added burden of depression. Deb - Hope you are feeling better. You have to be fit for the P A R T AY next week. Hi to SuzyB, Woodfrogs, BOB, Missy, Tranquil, Melf, Country Mom, JackieO, Julia, Yellow Rose, Monet, Fillise and any one else I have missed. Have a good SB weekend everyone. Marie. |
Im fixing to head to yet another birthday party!! :dizzy: We are having hots dogs and hamburgers so i can do that without the bread. I made a huge veggie platter to take for my side dishes. I just have to get past the cake and ice cream yet again.
I went to a nutrician shop in town and found the tortillas!!! I immediatly came home and slapped some cheese on one and heated it in the microwave to try it. YUMMY!! I think tomorrow im gonna make me some hamburger meat and pinto beans and make burritos!!!! oh my im already drooling :p Gotta go wrap the present and head out...see yall later. Have a great Valentines Day!!! :) |
Quicky post- I've been in town from 9:30-3:00- ugh! I'm thru with the bill-paying, errand-running, and grocery-shopping. I got hungry in town and stopped at Subway and had the chicken, bacon ranch wrap. It was good, but it was almost 5 bucks!! And it wasn't very filling, so I doubt I try it again. I've been 100% OP today. I had bacon and eggs this AM, the Subway wrap for lunch, and a lowcarb chocolate bar for a snack(was still in town). Hubby and I are going out to eat by ourselves(woohoo), and I WILL stay legal. I've been so busy today that I've only thought about food when I was actually hungry. So obviously, I eat at times when I'm simply bored. Even hubby made a comment about my appetite increasing last night. I could have hit him, but said you're right and it actually has given me some motivation to get back on track. That and...I taught the whole class last night(exercise). Everyone said I did a good job and they were all sweaty. I have to fill-in again in the morning. I'm actually looking forward to it. The only thing I didn't like was that the music wasn't the same pace as I was. But I didn't want to slow down to accomadate it.
Jack-k--You may be one of the lucky ones that won't lose their hair during chemo. You'll still be in our prayers. And yes, I'll pray that you don't lose one hair! |

A WOMAN'S (REAL) PRAYER:
Now I lay me Down to sleep. I pray the Lord My shape to keep. Please no wrinkles Please no bags And please lift my butt Before it sags. Please no age spots Please no grey And as for my belly, Please take it away. Please keep me healthy Please keep me young, And thank you Dear Lord For all that you've done. Five tips for a woman.... 1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job. 2. It is important that a man makes you laugh. 3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you. 4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you. 5. It is important that these four men don't know each other. Foot Note: One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob: "If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts." Marie. |
Gator, I was having lots of smiliar troubles with emails that I supposedly sent to people that I did not know who they were. I emailed Cox about this & finially got some answers & things are much better. I also have Norton Internet Security & it showed that I was protected & have no viruses. I need to find the email that I got back from Cox & i will post it for you. Bottom line was that there was a problem with Outlook Express which I was using. I have switched email programs & have not had a problem since!
Jack_K soooo glad to see you're back in the swing of things. Glad you enjoyed the roses. |
Whew...
Welll..... this is so awful of me to admit, but I have been doing LOUSY.
The best example I can give you is today: 2 bowls of Fruit Loops about 12 mini donuts SEVERAL pieces of candy... just about the ONLY thing I have kept up on SB is not drinking anything with sugar in it, I've stuck with sugar free drinks. I don't know what has gotten into me. I noticed my friend TV is back on the board the same week as I am, it's nice to know I'm not the only one having a hard time!! Girl we still need to have lunch!! I, too, am above my SB start weight again. It's so depressing that I don't even have the will to start over. Each day I wake up and eat something I shouldn't, then chalk the day up to lost and eat everything I see. I confess, I am up to a whopping 215 pounds. I have cried myself out of tears more than once, because I feel like a total failure. I'm fat, I can't breathe well anymore, I get winded going to the mailbox, I can't play with my kids.. I hate feeling like this, and yet I STILL can't get myself on track. I just don't know what to do anymore about this, but I can't stand the way I look and feel. OK, sorry to unload on everyone, I'm just so defeated feeling right now. JACK-K - What a wonderful attitude you have, girlfriend!! You make me wonder how on earth I can sit here and feel sorry for myself just because I'm eating myself into oblivion. I am the only reason I'm diabetic, and yet I still can't seem to find that sense of Determination that you have. I truly admire you!!! On a side note, a local newscaster here was diagnosed with BC and made it a feature, she took us through everything she was going through, and at one point, she made a joke about the chemo, saying, "So what if I lose my breasts and my hair, I can buy better ones of both after they're gone!" She was very positive as well!! Thoughts and prayers to you for a speedy recovery, and a positive journey through this!! TV - I saw you say you're starting Monday, how would you like to be Email pals again, we could try and keep each other motivated?? I really need some help in that department. [email protected] is my email addy. I check that every day even when I don't have the guts to read the boards. To everyone else, I've been hiding for so long I can't possibly catch up, but KUDOS to all of you who have stuck with it!! I did it for a year, dropped 40 pounds and then I'm not sure what has happened to me. It's like once the Dr. told me I was Type II diabetic and put me on the meds (which I quit taking) I just went to he** in a handbasket. I stuck with the plan until someone gave me a reason (maybe an EXCUSE??) for the reason I have trouble losing the weight. Hmmm... made myself think there. Well, I'm not promising anything... but I'm going to try and be more active on the boards. I tend to hide when I'm doing badly. Feel free to innundate my Email with messages if you see me missing, because I desperately NEED to be here. Thanks everyone :) ~Beth~ Highest Weight: 240 1st SB SW: 210 Lowest SBW: 174 CW: 215 and sad to post it, but sick of HIDING FROM IT! :( |
