Hello everyone!! I havent posted much, its been busy. Hubbys job is on the line. He works for B&W Tobacco and they are merging with RJR in North Carolina. We are hoping he gets a job offer and the offer is good. Unfortunatly we wont know anything until about June. :?:
I went to see The Passion of Christ yesterday. I have never heard 800 ppl crying all at once before. It was very graphic, but very good. I give it a thumbs up. I dont really have time to do individual post, have to clean before my parents get here tomorrow...ugh!! Im so far behind. Im doing good on diet and exercise...I plan to stay that way, although im cooking some good meals while they are here. I will catch you all later....bye for now Valerie |
Me again!!
I was feeling guilty because i had 2 sandwiches today for lunch ( whole pita instead of half). Then i was telling myself i didnt have time to exercise so i just finished the 2 mile WATP tape!!! OMG!! Thats gonna hurt tomorrow. Im so out of shape! So now i feel better, i exercised and confessed. Now i can clean house with a clear concious, although with sore thighs. Hope all is well with everyone, bye for now. Valerie |
Good afternoon ladies.
The boards are really slow this week. Had a busy morning, just getting ready. The phone kept ringing. I wanted to dust the house. Got 3 rooms dones. Going to finish my bedroom after this. A friend brought a fish sandwich to me for lunch. VIsited with her then off to the oncologist to get my labs done. That was a trip into reality. Even though I have my labs done bi-monthly, this was just different. I guess I really haven't thought about the big "C" until today. The wainting room was full of older people, which upset me being the youngest in there. PLus lots of people with no hair. Just makes it all hit home. I was feeling low so I stopped and got a SFmilkshake and drowned my sorrows in that. Got home and took about a mile walk. Bob, hope those sinus' clear up soon. Enjoy your weekend and feel better. Pancho, I don't blame your DH for not wanting to eat out with kids. When they are older he will probably feel differently. I think Sean Hannity is too cute. We watch Fox news practically all night. DH is a hugh O'Reilly fan. Enjoy it. Fruit, I don't think the bad place is from doing too much. Thanks for the update on Deb. Melf, have a fun and safe trip. VMoore, have fun visiting with your parents. Going to the fishfry with DH gets home. All our friends are going Karoke, but I'm afraid it will be too smokey for me to be there. Plus he wants to go to the UL ballgame tomorrow so I better rest up. Will check in sometime over the weekend. Have a good one. Jackie |
HIyas!!
Yeah, I know I haven't posted much this week, but I AM still OP!! I haven't fallen off the wagon at all, and I'm so excited!! I forgot about WIW, so I'm gonna do it next Weds, and just go 2 weeks. Maybe that will motivate me by seeing more progress!
This is just a drive-by post. I'm exhausted from working and gonna go! Just wanted to touch base and let everyone know I'm ok, and I hope you all are too!!! Bye! :wave: |
Wow, I feel like I am posting to myself lately :lol: . Went to Whole Foods today with my mom and they were out of Agave syrup...that was one of the main things she wanted to get. I will have to order some more; they seem to always be out of the light stuff. I spent $130; I guess it can always be worse.
I plan to get to the gym tomorrow a.m. & do the Ab scissor on Sunday, so I'll get my exercise in. vmoore: Good luck to DH; that must be very stressful for you both. Enjoy your parents! Jack-K: This house needs dusting so bad; I plan to do a lot of it this weekend. So sorry you had that sudden dose of reality; it must have been tough. There are many people younger than you that get cancer too. My mom got it when she was 38, and my SIL is only in her mid 30's, and was just recently diagnosed. I think we will continue to see it more and more in younger and younger people; we live in such a polluted environment and so many cancers are due to environmental pollutants. It is so sad, but true. Please try not to get discouraged; you have been so strong, and will continue to need that strength and courage as you continue on this journey. You will continue to be in my prayers. How is DH's leg? Beth: Way to stay OP!!! You go girl!! Well, better go decide what to make for dinner. Take care! Nat |
HiedeeHo All!
Can't believe Thursday is gone and it's Friday! Sometimes I can't keep up with the passage of time. I was thinking I hadn't posted since Thursday and then looked at the calendar and the 25th was Wednesday. I don't know what I thought today was! Thursday I went to NH and then in the afternoon to another one to entertain. The next time the Joyful Noise entertains it will be Monday and March already! Time to do St. Paddy's Day music. In fact I just received the program. There are 11 Irish tunes on it. Six that are not and six TBA. Plus a closing hymn. A really full program. Today as you know is wash day, didn't do any cleaning. Went to P.O. Also fixed a pair of jeans for GD, her butt was hanging out toooo much! I know that's the style but there has to be some modesty! Actually I hate repairs, would rather make a whole new article than mend one hole. Simple supper. Stewed some chicken breasts with onion, celery, mushrooms. Sift a little WW flour over top and let them simmer. They come out so tender and tasty. Just realized I didn't do HFH minutes. I hate that! HArd to read my scribbles when the subject has left my brain! Tried to call Deb last night and no answer. I thought she had an answer machine so redialed and still no answer. Maybe it was off or full. Will try tonight. MELF: Oictures are great. Printed them out and put them in an album. I'll have to title it "My Sugarbuster's Album", I'm sure there will be other gatherings and pictures! You did a great job. My four hour snooze Wednesday seemed to revive me. You know the scale will go down! Glad I can make you laugh! Hope you enjoy the conference. FRUIT: How was school? Retirement is nice! Of course, I still had volunteer obligations. LDBLOND: Let us know what day you'll be hobnobbing with Oprah and how we can recognize you. You must take notes so you can give us all the details. I hope it is one of her big give-away days! Take an extra pill before you go!!! WOOD: God Bless You! Even with a stomach that was not good, you still did the TM! Girl you rock! JACKK: Glad you are waiting before heading back to the office. You have been doing so good, would hate to have the bottom fall out. I think you could be in my Broad Club! Surprising how sitting can be tiring! You may have been down going for your labs but you took a positive approach. There will be other times when reality and gloom will loom, but you will overcome it. I admire you for your attitude. You did not mention how your DH is doing. PANCHO: I am really not a nap person, although now that I'm older (there I go again! but that's a fact!) I do find it easier. I tell the young women that I paid my dues. I raised two kids, built a house, canned, Cub and Girl Scouts, etc. All the things you are doing now. When you reach my age you can take a nap whenever you want! You will have earned it!! And yes I was able to sleep like a log after the nap, so I guess your body tells you what you need. Wish we had a TJ's around here. I loved going to the one in Baltimore area. LOL Mommy, that would be me, loved it! SUZY: You are certainly busy. It does take a lot of time to organize something but I can tell you feel the return is worth it! BOB: Good you are feeling better. V: Know what it's like to be on tetherhooks wondering about job status. Can only offer prayers. Would like to see Passion but have a hard time handling people being intimidated or abused. Don't know if I will see it or not. Confession is always good for the soul. BETH: WTG being OP! Have reached the end of the posts! Friday and only six pages. FFs: CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS * * A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? He answers, " You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooooooooooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ........... so does she. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barbara Walters was doing a documentary on the customs of American Indians. While touring a reservation during the documentary, she was puzzled as to why the difference in the number of feathers in the headdresses.**So she asked a Brave why he had only one feather in his headdress and his reply was, "only have one**woman**-- one woman, one feather." Feeling the first fellow was only joking, she asked another Brave. This Brave had two feathers in his headdress, and he replied, "me have two women -- two women, two feathers." Still not convinced the feathers indicated the number of sexual partners involved, she decided to interview the Chief.**Now the Chief had a headdress full of feathers, which, needless to say, amused Ms. Walters. She asked the Chief, "Why do you have so many feathers in your headdress?" The Chief proudly pounded his chest**and said: "Me Chief, me sleep with em all.**" Big, small, fat and tall - me sleep with 'em all!". Horrified, Ms Walter stated. " You ought to be hung." The Chief said "You Damn right, me hung like a buffalo, long like a snake." Ms. Walter cried,**" You don't have to be so hostile. " The Chief replied: "Hoss-style, Dog-style, Wolf-style, any style, me sleep with 'em all." With tears in her eyes, Ms Walters cried, "Oh, dear." The chief said: " No deer. *** too high, run too fast." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Left brain - right brain This is soooo stupid but true... and it's going to drive you crazy! * While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. * Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it.* Those are my rules. Any comments?" His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every night... whether you're here or not." Marriage (Part II) Husband and wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th Wedding anniversary! The husband yells, "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads, 'Here Lies My Wife - Cold As Ever.' "Yeah?" she replies. "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads, "Here Lies My Husband Stiff At Last.'" Marriage (Part III) Husband (a doctor) and his wife are having a fight at the breakfast table. Husband gets up in a rage and says, "And you are no good in bed either," and storms out of the house. After sometime he realizes he was nasty and decides to make amends and rings her up. She comes to the phone after many rings, and the irritated husband says, "what took you so long to answer the phone?" She says, "I was in bed." "In bed this early, doing what?" "Getting a second opinion!" Marriage (Part IV) A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife," Mother of Six" in spite of her objections.* One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it's time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home 'Mother of six?" His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion shouts right back, "Anytime you're ready, Father of Four." Shirley |
EVENING EVERY BUDDY!!
Just got home from viewing THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, and there are just twelve words to say about this account of the last twelve hours of Jesus's life. It's the most intense movie that I've ever seen in my life! If you haven't seen it, don't miss it. Yes, it's gorey, but you don't see the gore, you only see what the Roman's did to Christ. I didn't know that a scene from the resurection was in it. When they remove Christ from the cross and place him in Marys arms, the screen goes dark and it's a good ten seconds before the last scene comes on...there wasn't a drippy nose, a cough, a sneeze, a rattling bag....NOTHING!!! It was eerie...then after the last scene, everyone just got up and left...no talking... Here are your movie picks for the weekend: MATCHSTICK MEN PIECES OF APRIL THE MISSING A short list this week...have a good one everyone! BOB |
Bob, when i saw it the first 30 minutes were fine, the next hour and a half i had never heard so much syncronised sniffing in my life. No one spoke as we left either. Not one word. There were several still sitting in their seats praying, but not one word spoke. Everyone was speechless. It was extremely violent but the best movie I have ever seen.

GOOD SATURDAY AFTERNOON EVERY BUDDY!!!
It's absolutely beautiful over here today...in the lower 60's with a brisk wind, but the sun is shining and it's a good day! TIPPY and I just got back from PETSMART where we purchased her some Tshirts...she's so small that she gets cold very easily. Kate is at the beauty shoppe where she's getting her locks curled! We'll go back and get her in about an hour. VALERIE...My Nephew works for B&W in Louisville. They too are awaiting an invitation to go to Winston-Salem...Isn't this just a bite? WHERE IS EVERYONE TODAY????? The movie THE MISSING was GREAT!!! Don't miss this one...it's a nail biter! See y'all later! BOB |
HiedeeHo All!
Not a good night. Although I am fine and feel great, I spent most of the night sitting on the john! No complaints this morning. Not much doing, GD has a couple of friends here. One of them has a terrible hacking cough, don't know if it's allergies (if so, a place with 2 cats and 2 dogs is not hte place to be!) or the aftermath of a cold. They went o a concert last night at UNO Arena. Today they are off to some kind of fight, food, mud, whatever. That's why GD wanted an old pair of jeans fixed enough to be able to wear today. Me? Took shower, made bed, watching skiing, doing nails. A very exciting day. Will do HFH minutes later and balance my checkbook. I don't know if I can take all this stress!! Seems like the Board is really slow. BOB and V: Thanks for the film review. I don't know if I could get past the gore and intimidation. I get really upset when I see some abused and threatened. Throw back to childhood I guess. Will check in later. Shirley |
A quick howdy...
Not much going on today....feeling poorly so just kinda working on some stuff for next week.
Hang in there Jackie-K...((hugzz)) Love and hugs to all I'm just to wiped to respond. Crystle |

Hello, everyone! I've been busy this week, so haven't posted. Boogie had pneumonia Tuesday, got a shot and some antibiotics and steroids. He's doing better now, but his cough sounds nasty. The ER doc didn't want to do an Xray on him because he sounded clear, but I insisted and sure enough, a Mom knows her child- the pneumonia showed on the Xrays. Anyway, then Friday we went to Jackson for his cardiac appt. He's doing well! The doc was pleased and even took him off a medicine he's taken his whole life. We don't go back until August! Very good news, and also, there was a possibility of doing a procedure in the cath lab to close his fenestration(hole left intentionally in his repair to allow pressures in the heart to flow thru and not get too high). But his fenestration is so small and not giving him trouble so it looks like we won't have to do that(Thank you LORD!). I'm been OP the past few days. Feels good to be in control again. BUT we went to the movies last night and I shared a medium bag of butter-drenched popcorn with hubby AND came home and ate 2 cups Carb Freedom(very good!) ice cream AND then pigged out on triscuits! I'm a little puffy, but for some reason I still weigh the same. Which BTW, is down to a new low of 167(YAY!). The only thing I can think of is that I've been eating smaller meals and salads besides what I inhaled last night. Oh yea, we saw the PASSION and it was marvelous! I cried until I had makeup running. Even hubby cried. We all applauded when it was over because Mel Gibson did such a wonderful job. You NEED(not want) to see this movie. Several people remained seated when over. I felt so speechless when it was over. Yes, it is violent, but it NEEDS to be. This is what the Lord did for US. The sacrifice he made for our salvation. We needed to be reminded of it. I could go on and on, but just go see it and bring some tissue.

My head is spinning I'm in such a big hurry, Mom will be here in about 2 hours and I'm not even packed yet! My oldest seems to be SUPER moody and it's because I'm going to Oprah and my littlest has an ear infection! Thank goodness my DH took tomorrow off to take care of the kids while I'm at Oprah. I will be wearing a black velvet dress and jacket my mom is wearing a bright red suit. The Oprah show airs live back east tomorrow. I tell you all about it when I get back!

Nothing unusual. Went to chruch. Our pastor and some members went to see the Passion and they recommend that all see it. I'm still on the fence. One of the YAH suggested we go. CRYSTAL: Hope you're feeling better. V: Will have to add you to my list of prayers for the job. HEART: Hope the pneumonia is better. So happy that Boogie had a good cardiac appt. You're OP too, so things are going well. Sometimes no-nos don't show the next day. LARA: I will look for you and Mom. I'm sure you will have a good time. Will be watching the awards tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is an Oxymoron? Oxymoron Definition: A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined.
