Moooooo
 

I couldn't think of anything cutsey and cow related to start the thread with, but 3 pages is just way beyond my limit.

Welcome home, Lush, I hear you northern gals are having a nor'easter. We're having unseasonably beautiful weather. It's sunny and in the upper 70's here. Udderly lovely.

zero replies
 

I'm bored, shouldn't someone have posted an interesting reply by now?

You're right, Lush. How come no one is posting anything interesting.

I'm so boring.

Attention all cows!
 

Especially those of you in NY, PA, NJ, DE, MD. Put down that sandwich *right now* and read this:

Deli Meat Recall

and

Product List

We don't want any sick bovines around here

Well, I am offended. You are accusing me of eating my own kind?

Not referring to my bovine butt, but to my turkey jowls.

Does anyone want to get back to weight loss, or in my case, weight gain? If no one is interested, I completely understand, I'm sort of bored with the subject myself.

I'm seriously thinking of going to Overeaters Anonymous. I think I may have a compulsive eating problem. Ha! I bet none of you ever suspected.:dizzy: Who else do you know who has lost and gained 20 lbs. every 6 mos. on this forum? I compulsively diet or compulsively eat. Nothing in between for me!

So. discuss. Do you guys think I'm goofy for considering this? I'm just soooo tired of spending so much of my time and energy thinking about my weight.

It's another perfect day in paradise here. Sunny and 75 degrees. :cool:

Did you know that after Oct. 1 there are no warm weather clothes in any of the stores? Where do ppl buy clothes for vacations?

Lush
 

You know, Lush, you haven't whined about your weight for a long time. What's up? Please don't tell me you've gone off and lost 30 lbs. just by not hanging around us.

Oh Wabby you are too funny. I have been going from 208 to 220 since summer. I havn't been walking just eatting. Getting strep 2 times and the flu kept me from 230 I am sure. I have thought about OA also. I have thought about TOPS too. I want to know what all of you think about it also?
Wabby I am jealour of that weather, it is 37* here right now. Was uppers 70s this week and I was in a clod class room. Hope today is better with the weather.
Will post later, Brattie

Listeria? Possible meanings
 

[list=1][*]The main ingredient in Listerine[*]A neurotic obsession with making lists[*]Wisteria with a speech impediment[*]Slang for a sailboat, i.e. a place that lists to one side[*]A large unattractive room where people gather to make lists (see also cafeteria, danceteria)[*]Add your own stupid idea here: ____________________[/list=1]

Good grief, did you see that list of recalled items? It went on forever!

Hi Lushie and Bagzie, good to see you both around. Wabbit and Brattie, go for it if you think it will help! I can't bring myself to go to a WW or TOPS meeting; I think I would find it too depressing. I might be persuaded to go with someone else, but I don't know anyone around here who wants to. Plus I'm seriously opinionated on health, nutrition etc, so I'd probably get p-o'ed at some of their methods.

Doggie hanging in there but not doing very well. The vet is taking care of her for the weekend so I can go away. I'm looking forward to the break in dog nursing. We are going to Bar Harbor to stay in a hotel with our friends from Florida who are visiting. Hopefully the weather will cooperate; yesterday we had a monsoon, but it cleared up this afternoon. It's pretty cold, but the leaves are really pretty right now, and they should be spectacular on Mt. Desert Island where we're going. On Sunday, we'll be watching the first MDI marathon, which is one reason why our friends are visiting at this time -- he's running in it! I'm betting he will win or come in second in his age group (over 40!)
We will be celebrating either way, preferably with margaritas.

How long before the cruise, Wabby? You could join one of those deals just for that long, the first few weeks of a diet are usually when you lose the most anyway, right?

Later gators
Kiwi

OA is just like AA except food is the addiction. There are no dues, no weighing in, I'm not sure what they do to you, I'm hoping brainwashing to make me not eat obsessively. I think it may be sort of a weight loss church, only we rely on our "higher power" whatever that is to the individual.

I'm so happy that my long lost cows have come back to the barn! I've been missing the abuse. I can only take just so much nicey-nice. :lol:

Kiwi or Lushy,or whoever asked, we're leaving on Nov. 3rd. I'm being measured by a lady tonight for a custom swimsuit. She works for Jantzen and she makes custom suits in her spare time. I'm hoping she has some heavy duty support material to hold the droopin' boobies up. Gravity has not been kind. :stress: My thighs look like they were left out in a hail storm. I don't suppose there is much to be done about that by November :no:

I'll be back tommorrow to obsess some more. Hi to everybody else. It's time to go home!:cp:

I LOVE THE THIGHS IN A HAILSTORM IMAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY CANS ARE LIKE TWO PEARS IN A PAIR OF PANTIHOSE!!!!! ANYONE ELSE?????

OH YEAH---LISTERIA-----A VISIOUS POISON THAT ATTACKS YER BOWELSES!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol: I love my cow friends here you all make me laugh. Thighs in a thunderstorm? Cans like 2 pears in pantyhose? Hmmmm OK ....my thighs are like Jell-0 not quite jelled with cottage cheese added in. Jiggly and bumpy.
Wabby have fun on that cruise, what is your suit going to look like? May I ask what a custom suit ranges? I think that must be heavenly to get one fitted to you. If I get the Boob area to fit the suit is too big every where else, suit to fit body, boobs flop out.:o
Kiwi what recalled list? Is that the food the meat that was recalled? Guess what some of it was sold here in Longview. The paper didn't say to much about it though...
Bagzz you are snooty? I thought you have always been nice!
:?: I am so sorry for all the sadness you have been having lately. It was so sweet of you to watch your Niece. How old is she? Did you survive today?
Lush now I want turkey on Wonder bread and mayonaise!
SugP I am going to read the list now thanks.
Have a nice night will try and post laters, Brattie

I'm in such a bad moooood
 

so naturally I come here.

Wabby, I want you to join OA. I demand it! The only other person I ever knew who joined it wore argyle pants, argyle sox, and argyle sweaters at the SAME TIME and when he ate five plates of rice at the Chinese restaurant explained "I have a large capacity." In other words Darling .... YOU MAY SCOUT FOR MY PERFECT MAN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lush, I don't know what to say to you. I'll just ignore you.

Dabrattie, you are so nice. Are you related to Wabby?

Sugar, forget it. If they put it on theshelf, I eat it. It's NOT MY RESPONSIBLITY TO KEEP ME ALIVE!!!!

and Bagz ...

blow it out yet shorts

Kiwi, I just met this man on the internet who is truly good looking and live near YOUUUUUU!!!!! He has an apple orchard or something. I dunno. You Mainers are all so incomprehensible. I watched at movie about the Mainers who took their boat into a hurrycane. What nuts.

:yes:

there. Im done.

Yep, we're all nuts. I have an apple orchard too. Well, not really, I have half a dozen neglected old apple trees. Maybe it's DH! Nah, you'd recognize him.

You guys are really on a tear today. I can't tell you what my thighs look like -- I don't look at them! They get washed, dried and clothed and I can do all that without looking at them, so of course I do, since I'm not such a glutton for punishment! So I guess my thighs look like denim hams.

Night kids
Kiwi

laughing too hard to post!
 

I can't even see my keyboard!

Soooo nice to be abused by Bagzie again. Nobody does it better.

I don't describe parts of my body on the internet. You never know who might be reading. :o

You're safe here, Sugar. Stevie won't read about yer jiggly jiglets.

Brattie, the best thing about these custom swimsuits is that they are cheeeeeep! This sweet little lady makes them for $15, including all material! They look just like a Jantzen swimsuit (duh, she works for them). She will have them ready in a week. :)

We have apple trees, Kiwi, but DH always prunes them to within an inch of there lives every year. I cringe when he does it, but they always leaf out and are beautiful by June. Not too many apples, though, which is ok by me, because when you have apples they drop on the lawn and make a yellow jacket swarming mess.

The realtor called back to say the other ppl have withdrawn their offer on our dream property, so we're back to looking at it again. Maybe I'll become a land baron after all. With a very old shacky house.

Have a loverly weekend cows.

tomorrow herbie is taking MY CAR so he can sell it and get anothr car for me. Yes, that Herbie! We will let him act out his guilt trips and we won't even bother being nice if it's any trouble. We are sick of men

hurrah for that honker,HERBIVORE!!!!! you deserve to have a nice CAR---MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE BY HIS HOUSE WITH YOUR NEW MEN AND HONK THE HORN!!!!-----by the way---the body parts described by you tanks---DENIM HAMS!!!!---cottage cheese AND jello----ROFLAMAO{?????} ISN'T THAT SUPPOSED TO BE LAUGHING ME ARSE OFF??????------make LUsh talk about her sausaging herself into her jeans!!! off to get a margie------brattie---i pick u p my niece from school everyday with my other niece and my son---they hang around til supper time!! they are sweet and sometimes bratty!!!!

size 14
 

I am wearing a size 14 today. That means I am barely able to breath, but that is ok, isn't it? I did lose weight about a year ago, it was my stress weight. Now that my life is semi-peaceful without people dying right and left, I've settled into simply pudge. I'm not as upset about being a pudge as I used to be. I know that isn't good. I'm also not as upset about my house being a mess as I used to be. Of course, it isn' t as bad because my kids are older and they help with chores. But no matter how you look at it, I've settled.
Wabby, will your fil stay where he is, or will he come with you? I hope you get your place. We can have the Bovine Jamboree there. Imagine all of us having to pitch circus tents to hold our big butts.
Wabby, I am sure Steve will love you even with a jiggle here and there.
Bagzie, have you noticed how NICE everyone here has become? Maybe they have passed their "time of life" I am still cranky as can be.
I have to go to soccer now.
XXOO

WHAT???!!!!
 

Wabby and Stevie are going on the cruise together?? The nerve! No wonder she's getting a custom made swim suit.

Wabby - gosh, never even thought that Stevie could possibly be reading this (he's not a fat chick, but his wife might be. Oh oh.) The last time he saw my thighs (discreetly covered, of course) was in 1985 so it would be *quite* the shock!

What kind of car you getting, Peachy? I'm getting a new one too, but in our house "new" doesn't necessarily mean new. See, dh's best friends 20 yr old niece, who is a student nurse, was driving home from night shift one morning, got blinded by the rising sun and side-swiped a large garbage container that was sticking out into the street. She got a concussion (and made a full recovery, poor thing) and the car had the passenger door and fender ripped off and the wheel went all wonky. Sooo, dh bought the car from nurse's daddy (who is also our travel agent. What a tangled web we weave.) for peanuts, bought a new (ok, used) door and fender and axel and now it just needs a coat of paint to be brand new. Sort of. It's a Renault Twingo which will mean absolutely nothing at all to you, but it's French and really cute.

I'm so boring all I can talk about is myself. I'll be back when I'm able to make sprightly conversation.

my day
 

I delivered ds to the boyscout people so he could go canoeing and overnight camping THEN :hyper:

I went to stupid Herbie's house because I was supposed to meet him but he never where. I hated being in his house. HATED IT. He stuff all packed up for including stuff that isn't mine. I ignored it all AND :bomb:

he finally called to ask me to meet him at The Place on the Lake. I went there. He finally showed up. So did one of his employees. We swapped cars and I took the employee back to the broken down piece of equipment he was stuck working on. :headache:

Sugar, the man who lives near Kiwi is a Steve. Are are all involved with the same guy? I say let Wabby have him because a good scandal would liven things up here.

:cp: so good to see LUSHIE back :cp:

OK I am so lost here now! Is there more than one here dating Steve? I would love to be a 14 so do not wine about that. I think men suck when they become exs. I think exs new wives suck also. OK I am sick with a cold and grumpy and headachey and tired and waawaawaa... I know shud up n go to bed huh? Love ya all, Brattie

Sissy, you should appreciate that I am back. Gifts are in order.
Brattie, everyone has dated Steve at one point or another. We all met him on the internet and he works for an airline, so he has taken each of us out when he's been in our home cities. Steve used to come by at our last forum, but they went out of business. I think the Justice Department was investigating and it go too expensive to mount a defense against their charges.
I think he still does come around here. Just to hear Sugar describe her rolls in excruciating detail.
Wabby's DH has been known to carry a gun, so he's only met her at her yearly excursion to the Flower Show. Kiwi met him in a church. Peaches has always been too busy with Herbie to get to know Steve, but now she is free, so she's giving him a whirl.
I have a headache. Sinus.
bye

THIS IS THE TRUTH
 

I'm chatting with Steve online when he says "Would you like me to call you?"

I say "If you want to" and give him my number.

He says "Should I call you or should you call me? I pay 3.5 cents a minute."

Next message I got from him said "What happened?''

Indeed.

Can you say "clueless"?

Horrors!
 

Marcella just called in a panic about the possibility that one of ours would call a man. She is too upset to write herself. It was her delicate upbringing. Her Mama would have lashed her if she would have so much as looked man directly in the eye before he bought her a significant piece of jewelry. Having grown up on a horse farm, I understand life a little better than she. At Sweet Briar, the sisters used to have quite a laugh at Marcella's expense by pretending to answer the door for their own dates. Can you imagine? A ZTA greeting a date without making an entrance! It was just too funny. Marcella would get all upset, then laugh in the end when she realized that we'd fooled her again. Oh the good times we had.

I also had a fling with Steve. He always called me and he bought me numerous presents; most notably a lovely Cartier watch which I gave to my cleaning lady for Christmas.

How are your fitness aspirations? I had quite a difficult summer. As you may know, they changed the formula of Ex-Lax. I have Ex-Lax for dessert every night, so the change was quite upsetting to my system. At first, the new formula did not agree with my syrup of ipecac, but now everything has worked out. I didn't actually gain weight but I felt bloated for a few days. It was awful.

The holidays are coming and Marcella and I are off to Paris to shop. She is at a spa until the first of November. It is just for rest, she assures me that she does not need to lose any weight. I am sure that she is only wearing size twos because zeros are so hard to find, though I always manage.

Lovely to talk to you!
Letty

If LETTY knew how cheered up I am to see her, she'd never leave. That skinny little horse's patootie!

I'm going to you all something braggie and stupid but I want you to see that I am actually accomplishing something sort-of.

I'm taking this online writing class, as you know if you're smart, and we all have to turn in stories. The teacher SAID that my story was better than any he'd read anywhere in a long time. Now, he was kind of mean to other people if you think saying "I have so many complaints about this I don't know where to start" is mean.

That's it. Bye.

Peachie, of course your instructor liked your story better than all the others! You're very talented at writing stories!

I don't have much to say. I just spent 10 days overhauling my (personal) website during every waking moment. Thank goodness that's done. I haven't exercised in days. I'm going back to the Firm. It's the only thing that has worked for me in the past five years.

I'm STILL 182.

Hi to Bagzie, Lushie, Kiwi, Wabbit, Sugar P, Brattie, Skinny Frappe, and Letty and Marcella.

Ciao!

Good Lordy wimmin! You make my day. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Peachers, sorta braggie and stupid is neither one. If ya can't toot your own horn around here, where else? I'd work the guilt angle for all it's worth with Herbie. It's good for him to shower you with gifts and such. He needs it for his own mental health. So you're really getting a new car for his benefit.

Sugar P, don't you love having a DH who is smart enough to make a new car out of body parts? My DH can take an old rust bucket and make it into a beautiful collectors car. DS is following in his daddy's footsteps. He has his car completely taken apart and is painting it next weekend. I think it's amazing that my little boy can paint cars and make them look like new.

Cherry, I've seriously considered buying some Firm tapes, but I bought Leslie Sansone's "Walk Off the Pounds" and I've only done it a couple times. I don't suppose the Firm tapes work if you don't actually put them in the VCR, right?

Lush, congrats on losing the stress weight. I keep telling myself that I can settle for the weight I am now, too, but as soon as I settle for that weight, I gain 5 more pounds. :yikes:

Hey! we have some new smilies!!





:bravo: :high: :drill: :balloons: :lucky:

This one's for Peachers!
 

:bravo:

Peachy, of *course* your story was the best. Would we expect anything less from our little magnolia flower? What's with the guy in Maine? Men are so gauche sometimes.

Brattie, actually, the *real* Stevie was a sort-of university boyfriend whose main claims to fame were being an American abroad, owning a popcorn maker and the fact that he could recite all the Monty Python sketches by heart. Whereas when I look at dh and shout "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!", I am greeted with a blank stare. Ho hum. But Stevie couldn't fix a car to save his life, so I'm not complainin'! All other Steve's are just cheap facsimiles.:snooty:

I beg your pardon
 

I don't remember ever dating anyone named Steve! The one I cornered in the ladies lounge at church was definitely not a Steve! Although when I think about it, that could have been the name of the fellow who I drove around N.C. one week -- he horrified me by going skinny-dipping in a river where we had stopped to have a nice tame picnic. :yikes: No, Letty, I did not join him, even though I was very lovely size 12 at the time. :nono:

Kiwi

:) Oh you all make me laugh. I have been criing off and on since about 9:30 today. My Son didn't get his license today and when I called him he said *No Mama I didn't get it* then he burst into tears. It is so hard hearing him cry from heartbreak. I spoke about it in my journal today. My heart is still hurting at 2:30.
My cold is getting better and the comp had a virsu so we had to reboot the whole dang thing. Then I had problems with compuserve today. I really should cover my head and go back to bed.
My step daughter Megan started her period yesterday. She is the one that is almost 11 but delayed. I am mean but I am glad that she has school this week and they can deal with the blood. Wow how gross and crass is that?
I am lost as to who is who here anymore. We need a new thread. Wabby are you going to start it?
D

This is a tough one
 

I've been putting this off all day, but I have to start telling people I know, so here goes: my lovely sweet doggie Molly died last night. She was a very ripe old 15 1/2 years old, and of course you know she had been declining for a while. But that doesn't seem to make it any easier, maybe even harder since she's been part of my life for so long. I can't turn around without seeing a sign of her, and today I haven't had the heart to clean up her stuff yet.

She was at the vet's for the weekend so that we could go to Bar Harbor and stay with our out-of-town friends. On the way back yesterday afternoon, I called the vet to see if we could pick her up on the way through town, but he didn't get back to me until later in the evening. He said she had been pretty well Saturday, but had developed a fever and he'd put her on antibiotics and she wasn't doing very well. He said he would call if she got worse and I could come get her in the morning. I nearly called him back to see if I could go to the clinic and stay with her. He called early this morning to tell me she was gone, so I went to see her. She didn't seem to have suffered much, and she had plenty of care, but I do wish I'd been there. At least our vet was quite fond of her, so she didn't have her last hours with strangers. And she had a couple of good days last week I'm glad of.

Anyway, sorry to bum everyone out. I also have other bad news, which just seems laughable to me right now. When we arrived home last night, our kitchen ceiling was on the floor in pieces!! I knew it would happen, I got tired of nagging DH about the cracks and leaks months ago. There is actually a chunk about 4 feet by 8 feet gone. All the actual drywall, in chunks on the floor, on the counter etc. The stuff above it turns out to be wood plank and it was mildewing and dripping everywhere (I guess there was a big rainstorm while we were gone). Unbelievable. Part of it fell on the cats' litterbox, which has a plastic dome lid, now cracked. Probably scared the cr** right out of them, but they are all right.

My life. Anyone want it?

Kiwi

OH KIWIIWIIIIII
 

I am so sorry about your doggie. I haven't had a doggie in a long time but I remember crying for days when they died and no one understanding what I was feeling.

Sorry about the roof too. Mine leaks. My landpeople put a tarp, I think over it but maybe not a big enough one because it only leaks on one place now. You might think they can't afford to fix this but they're trying to buy a $190,000 house at the beach that belong to my friend's brother.

Now I apologize to brattie who is not accustomed to abuse here:

HAVE YOU COWSIES NOTICED THAT YOU CAN just CLICK ON A LITTLE thing THAT READS "FIRST UNREAD MESSAGE" and go directly there without whining about how many pages there are?????? You dingbats. The 3 sissies put IT THERE FOR A REASON> USE IT

Love you all *kiss* *kiss* ( I add this to deter people from reporting me to the sissies and getting me in trouble )

and it's not a NEW car ... it's a better old car that I might end up with.

Kiwi, I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet dog.

Thank you, sweeties.

Sorry to hear about the DS's driving test, brat. I'm sure he is so disappointed. Hope he will try again soon.

Go Peachie!

Kiwi

me 2 brattie
 

That's the worst feeling ... knowing your kid hurts and you can't do anything about it. Mine has a mentor who hasn't shown up in 2 weeks. He seemed kind of sad. It's ok though. The mentor used the email at Herbie's to say he'd come Wednesday and we didn't get it.

Oh Kiwi!
 

I'm so sorry! I know just how you feel - had to deal with lots of pets who passed away and it's not fun at all. At least you have the kitchen ceiling (or what's left of it) to take your mind off it a bit. Do you have a nice big picture of Molly to hang on the wall?

Brattie, there's nothing more heartbreaking than seeing a teenage boy cry, is there? Not that they shouldn't cry, but you can see the little boy in them again when they do and it's so sad. I'm sure he'll get his license really soon. Can your sdd deal with the changes she's going through or will the school really have to do it all? 11 - wow - starts younger every day.

Now that we're probably on page 4, someone should start a new thread.
