Hi Ladies.........

I am just stopping in and reading the posts.... I too am glad its the week-end, but I do have a confession... I called in today and took a vacation day....... played hooky...... hehe I picked up my"Black Beauty" and we went for a 3 hour ride... drove just about 100 miles.... headed west then south then back east again..... I thought the roads would never end.... I ended up way out in the country... places I had never heard of and not a party store, McDonalds in sight... hehe..... then headed to Grosse Isle and took a drive around the island..... talk about some beautiful homes on the river..... dang.... I didn't know if I should look at the water as I drove or all the beautiful homes..... had a nice quiet time.....

I drove by the neighborhood in Ecorse where I lived when I was 7 years old to 10 years old.... the grade school was gone, the house that I lived in was gone, in fact there were only 3 houses left on the block of about 10 homes.... I couldn't even tell where the house was that I was raised in.... left that area crying.... so sad to see such a rambling place that was once so nice and taken care of.... it looked like a place where no one lived anymore, no one took pride in the homes anymore..... what a shame.... I remember we had a double lot and my dad always had a beautiful garden.... everything was always green because dad took care of his land.... now there are only weeds and junk in the yards.... such a waste....

Chrissy and Sharon I am so happy for you two... Sharon, I cried when I read your post, it touched me so..... God does work in mysterious ways... we all know that he works in his own time and these things happen for a reason..... the mistrial was a blessing in disguise.... I will keep you both in my prayers....

JOANNA!!!!!! YOOOOOOOO WHERE ARE YOU????

It's time for bed..... everyone take care and be good.....

Love, Carolyn

Default Woo Hoo!

Sharon - Thanks SO much for emailing that newspaper report. I am so relieved and happy for you and Chrissy and your family (especially your girls Chrissy). It is about bloody time that justice was served and that Orioles thing really spins me out - I bet you Rick was there, smiling at you all

I'm still pregnant girls, but guess what? We only have 8 days til my due date! I'm off work now and so am trying to relax, but this waiting for baby thing is a bit strange (that and I ahve so much Uni work right now, urgh).

Also today I bit the bullet and weighed myself. So my starting weight (as I don't expect to gain any weight this last week) is ... 176 pounds. Wow, glad I had the courage to say that. It's not good, but I actually expected it to be much more. My goal is to be at 132 by the time I return to work (just under 6 months away). I'm sure I can do it.

I'll try and drop in in the next week sometime and say hi and also to let you know sometime soon after the bub is born. I'm expecting the little bugger to come late as is hasn't engaged yet - hardly even dropped! But you never know...

Love and hugs to all and WOO HOO to Chrissy & Sassy!!

Default Hi Everyone!

We are at CJ's house now, still in Michigan. Ken and I came last here last night and have been having a really good time with Carol and Dick.

Last night we went out to dinner at a Chinese restaraunt here in Royal Oak where she lives. It was really great. Than of course we both spotted the dollar store next door and had to go there afterwards.

This morning we went to Ram's Horn for breakfast and wouldn't you no it. Next door was an F & M Drug Store, also called Drug Emporiam so naturally we had to go there as well. Dick and Ken waited in their truck while we shopped.

We have had a really good time so far. We watched a movie last night, darn forgot to have our Buttershots too. And Carol has one of those hot wax treatment machines that you stick your hands or whatever in and it works great. My husband had wanted one of those but we wanted to try it first. I guess we will have to get one now. LOL

Dreamer-My gosh girl only 8 more days till the baby is born. Gosh it just seems like yesterday that you told us you were expecting. Good luck to you and I know soon you will have a beautiful new baby to hold and love. Yes I know too that Rick was indeed smiling down at all of us. Without a doubt he was.

Carolyn/CH-How is your spring break coming along so far? Did you say you were going somewhere? I hope it was somewhere warm. LOL Post when you can.

Jello-Hey Jo, so glad you are back in the fold again. Hope you are feeling better by now. So you let out a big WHOOP at work when you heard the news? So do you still have your job? Sure hope so! LOL You have also been through this with us from the very first day it happened and like the rest of the Thin Group have been a big part of Chrissy and myself's support team. Thanks so much!

Carolyn/Regency-Gosh I know how you feel about going to your old neighbor hood and it such a shambles. Ken and I both lived in Detroit and whenever we go there we leave crying as well. Such a shame to see everything either boarded up or torn down. Especially when we had memories of how our houses used to look. Thanks so much for keeping Chrissy and myself in your prayers. Oh yes and also good job on the 1 pound loss AND the mammogram as well.

Zoe-How great that you stayed so well on your program. Should pay off for you. Thanks so much too for your kind thoughts as well. Means alot to us to know that you are thinking of us so much.

ginabob-Wow you get to sing in Branson, Mo and it will be televised as well? Wow how wonderful! Yes I would be interested in the station/time ect. I do know what you look like, from you websight. Thanks in advance and thanks for being there for Chrissy and myself as well.

Chrissy-Hey I miss you already and even though the circumstances of seeing you were not idea. I still loved being with you and the girls and my Dad and Jerry again. You are very special to me sister in law and best friend and you know that. I too have mixed feelings about everything. Like you I am glad the trial is over and we go the verdict we wanted, but Rick is still gone and I miss him so badly. But together we will heal and have closure now. I am here for you always as I know you are there for me. LOVE YOU CHRISSY!
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{CHRISSY}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Sandi-Yes we have had such a lot of people praying for us. It is amazing how much support we have had. Thanks also to you so much for all your prayers, love and support you have given to Chrissy and myself.

angel-Thanks to you too for all your support during this time. We really needed our wonderful Thin Group friends like yourself. Don't worry about being up a bit. I too feel that it probally is the medication and it will come off soon. That sweater set really sounds like it looks great on you.

Judy-How are you doing? I really look for your posts and love when you get a chance to post with us. How is Cal doing? Better I hope. Thanks so much to you too for everything and where would be without all you and everyone elses prayers?

Gail-I am glad you posted. I always look for them. So almost time for Ken's Mom to pay you a visit? I'll bet you are like a little busy beaver there getting ready for her visit. Take care of yourself too and don't get yourself run down as I sometimes do when we get out of town company. Ha Ha I can almost see Mr. Big with hardly any fur. Oh boy, could you take a picture of him? I would love to see how he looks now. I will email you or call you again when I get back and things slow down. Thanks for being there for me. You are a special friend to me and always make me feel so much better when I am down. Thanks for all you have done for me.

CJ is going to be posting soon. She told me to let you guys know that she has just been busy with things like getting her taxes done and some other projects. She misses you and will talk to you soon.

Well it is time to get off here. We are heading out to Ken's sister Diane, in Dearborn to spend the night and than after the cookout at his other brothers in Ann Arbor we will head for home to Indiana.

I will post when I can after I do everything I have to when one comes home again.

OK guys, love you and thanks again for being such a great bunch. I love each and every one of you's so much.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Love ya, Sassy Sharon

Hey everyone! It's the weekend and I have a day off!!!! WOOHOO!! Actually yesterday was my last weekend to work for the next 2 weeks.... next weekend we should all be off for the Easter holiday and the following weekend I will be in Virginia Beach. I have a meeting on Friday morning at the Norfolk Ford Assembly Plant but Tim and I are staying the whole weekend to get away and celebrate 6 months together. Can't wait!

Just stopped by to say a quick hello and take a break from cleaning house..... This new job is keeping me on the road. No working vacations either..... Had an okay time in Toronto but no time to do anything.... I've got in almost 60 hours this week..... and I am traveling 10 days out of the normal 20 work week days.... This month I will be in Toronto, Detroit (on the 12th - flying up and back the same day - don't worry sis), Lansing, Kansas City, Edison (NJ) and Norfolk (VA).... busy busy.... I have started a new shift (noon-8pm).... I like it because I get to sleep in and most of my road trips leave me exhausted and getting in too late to make into work by 8am......

Hugs to Sharon and Chrissy.... I am so glad everything has worked out and that scum is in prison......

Sorry not to address everyone, but I seem to have all my time reading and catching up.....

One more thing Zoe.... I know all about Big Brother watching at work, I got busted a few months ago for sending a joke from my email at work. Now I've lost my email privileges there..... It kind of sucks though because all of the salary personnel just got their hands smacked while two of us hourly personnel lost their email..... sucks to be just a pee-on sometimes. The kicker is I was passing on a joke from a salary person.....

Hugs to all!
Love, Joanna

Everyone have a wonderful evening...



Sharon and Chrissy.....I am happy that things are finally settled for you and your families.....now it gives you the opportunity to move on....{{HUGS}}

Hi Ladies.....

I see that Joanna has finally posted... and I didn't even have to call her on the phone... hehe.... I am only stopping in to say good night again..... I am trying to get in the habit of posting everyday no matter what.... this way I can stay on top of the posts and discipline myself.....

I went out to my Aunt Rose's house today and visited with my cousins.... went to their houses and seen where they live... I've always gone to see my Aunt and whoever was at her house I would see them.... I have never been to their houses..... I put 170 miles on my "Black Beauty" today.... I've got just over 500 miles on it in just one week!!!!!! That is some kind of record for me... I normally don't drive 1000 miles per month!!!!! I am sure the newness will soon fade.... But first my trip to Kentucky come Thursday.... I know dad and I will be singin "my car is better than your car" as he just bought a 2001 Sable and he thinks he has died and gone to heaven too..... We are just to weird for our own good..... I guess being from the Motor City and having all these vehicles around us does something to you....

Still having problems of drinking real pop...... diet pop is just so yucky... am working on it a glass at a time.... thats all I can promise... My cousin that I visited today takes 3 insulin shots a day.... I don't want to be like that thats for sure..... so I need to work on the pop thing just a little harder.... We always think its not going to happen to us... and bam it does..... when he realized he was diabetic he was started out with 2 shots a day... he did not heed the warnings until it was almost to late... he was driving the car and lost his vision.... and I am not sure if he passed out or not... but that was one of the first clues to diabetes that heeded the warning to.... he ignored all the others.... and still drank his beer after he found out too...... Its really sad to because he is only about 40 and has two boys he needs to watch get married and have kids of their own...

Kelster So sorry about your friend's death.... I know that there are no words of comfort in this kind of situation..... its hard to reason why it has happen... but know that you are in my prayers and like in the poem "Footprints" God is carrying you through this time of your life... as well as your friend's family.... Take care of yourself.

I am headed to bed.... my eyelids are feeling a bit heavy....

Everyone take care.....

Love Carolyn

Hi everyone! I have been busy working. We had a lady out the week of Masters Golf Tournament. Now we will go into our Turtle tournament at the bowling center. That will be every weekend until the end of May. This is just the short one. I don't know what hours I will be working except I know I am working both SAt and Sun daytimes. The rest of the week will see?

My son got called to jury duty. We aren't sure how. He didn't sign up to vote. Anyway, I have to take him next Monday to see if he can be excused. He dosen't have any transportation. I sure hope they let him off. If they don't I will have to ask for time off to take him. My boss won't like that.

Chrissy and Sharon: It is WONDERFUL news that monster was convicted.


Dreamer: Good luck ! Can't wait to here the baby is here.

Well., got to go for now. take care

Default great, just what I needed......

I got my TOM and incredibly....from one day to the next BANG!!!.....almost 5 lbs heavier. Sunday was my lightest I can remember (bf.....before kids) I weighed 203, and let me tell you, I was floating the whole day!! Then Monday hit....(I'll call it Black Monday...he he) and now I'm 207.5. Well, nothing I can do about it. Not going to get all worried, stressed and psycotic....(ya right?)....just going to continue hopping on my way to my Easter goal of 201.5 and you know what? Whatever I reach come Sunday...I'll be thankfull that I finally got there. Still think I'm doing really well: #1 I'm thinking before I eat...do I really want this? #2 I'm aware of the value of my choices....Is this good for me? and #3 I'm still highly motivated.......Still energized my articles, way clothes are fitting me and full of ideas to help others.
So.....there's still no doubt in my mind.....I'll get there and actually my mini goal was 40 lbs by the summertime. Here it is almost Easter and I've lost (w/o TOM...over 30 lbs) so I'm AHEAD of schedule! HA! WHO KNEW.... Anyway Ladies, thanks for letting me ramble on.
Have a great day....by the way found a GREAT website....www.theweighwewere.com FANTASTIC! Lots and Lots of weight loss success stories.....over 300!!! If they can do it .......so can we!!!
bye

Hey folks. We taped our special last night. I got a special surprise because Sandi Patti and Larnelle Harris were there too. So at one point I was on stage singing about 3 feet away from Sandi . . . my childhood singing HERO! It was an unbelievable night. And I did really good on the eating front. They had pizza. I had a sandwich!
Here are the times that we will be on TV. They are all CST so adjust accordingly.

It's on TBN worldwide at the following times.
Friday April 13th 4 PM
Sat. 14th 9PM
Sun 15th 10:30 PM

I had a really great spot. Second row on the floor, right behind Dino's piano. Just look for the glittering thing in the middle of the stage. Then look up and you should see me! A full 20 LBS lighter than just a 5 weeks ago!!! Yes the scale read 224 this morning. YAY!!!!!

Sharon - That story you told about the baseball cap was incredible. I love the way God sends signs to us to let us know He is paying attention. I am SO happy that all of this is finally coming to a close.

Sam - 8 days. Wow I know you are getting excited. You have a good goal set. I am sure you will have no troubles reaching it!

Bernice - Slow is better than never. You just keep shedding those lbs and you'll be there before you know it.

Kelster - Hang in there. Here are some cyber hugs from me (((((You)))))!

Angel-Eyes - Keep working towards that goal. I know you can do it. Just keep plugging.


A big howdy to everyone I missed addressing. I have been e-mailing everyone I know in the world and telling them to catch me on TV this weekend.

Love you guys!
Gina

Hi everyone. I am actually on here 2 days in a row.

Gina: I must have missed it somewhere, but what show did you tape? I don't reconize that station. I want to watch it. I hope you can help. Way to go on the weight loss you are doing GREAT

Well, have to do the dishes. I can only run the dishwasher late at night because we turned on the AC. We are having the hottest April so far is a long time.

Take care. Mary Kay

Hi all! Sorry I haven't checked in lately but have been really busy at work. Then after work, we've been taking advantage of the warmer dryer weather (that is, until today anyway) and working in the backyard. Rich is building me a raised garden box type thing (what would you call it?) for my rose bushes. It's 12 feet long and about 3 feet wide for a row of rose bushes along the side of our new shed ... which by the way is ALMOST done. LOL. One of these days, we'll get the yard in shape. Was hoping to till and prepare the garden area over Easter weekend but I don't think the weather will hold out. The good news is all the exercise I'm getting!!!

Would love to address all you guys personally but there's just not enough time! Boss just came in so I guess I'd better at least look like I'm working. Hope to pop in at least once more before Easter. My home computer needs a little work so I can post from there. It works most of the time but it's soooooo sloooooowwwww.

If I don't get back in here ... HAVE A GREAT EASTER!!!

Much love to you all.
Jo.

We taped an Easter Special with Dino. He is a really incredible piano player. It was a great experience. TBN is the Trinity Broadcasting Network. I don't agree with everything that is on there but there are a lot of good things coming from it. A lot of my online frineds have found it once they started looking for it. :P Hope you can watch.

See you guys later. I am fighting with a cold and trying to work. Fun, fun.
