hi rosey. glad to hear the moose is done. wtg on curves. i am doing ww on my own for now. glen

Just a quick post here. We are one of the few who still have power in this county. We had Ivan come through lastnight and it was horrendous. The wind was awlful. Our home just vibrated and schools are all closed in this area. We had tornado warnings but there again, our city was spared from any touch downs. They are saying that Ivan could churn back down toward this way maybe tomorrow and hit us again. Then we have to watch Jeanne and Karl out in the Atlantic. Hope you all are having a great friday. Pray for summer cause they are about to experience some tornado stuff down that way if she's still there and if she's home, this mess is headed up toward virginia as well.

Hello Everyone..

I wanted to pop-in and say I am home.. Yes we had bad weather..High winds and rain..I thought maybe we would have to evacuate but that didnt happen...
Thank goodness..We had 3 days of partly sunshine..
We had Murphys Law with this vacation form start to finish...Its been a real experience...Unreal...Everything that could go wrong.. DID....
I am calling it National Lampoons Vacation..LOL..
Long story and I will tell you all about it later.. I am still tired from the trip home..It rained so hard and the winds were so high..it took us over 10 hours to get home when its usually a 7 hour or so trip..
It was scary..I was totally wiped-out when we got home..
The hurricanes have really did an awful number on everyone everywhere....
I have been praying for everyone....Its been so bad..
I am glad that Dana is back and alright...I have been really worried about her..
I am glad that Daphne was here for you Rosey.. I worried that you would be lonely in here.. Thank-you Daphne for being here too...
I hope that Donna will return one day soon... and I Missed all of you....
I am still tired and going to bed.. I have alot to do to prepare for the gym this week..I havent even got to the grocery store yet..
I am glad to be home and glad that everyone here is safe and sound...
Good Night To ALL..and Its good to be home...
God Bless..My Wonderful Dear Sweet Friends..
Much and To You ALL...

welcome summer.even though you had bad weather you are home in one piece. i home with a cold and all the aches pains that go with it. my diet is up and down
glen

Hi guys. So glad to hear from summer. I have worried about her. I know they had some bad weather cause i've been watching the weather channel a lot this past week. I'm glad you're home safe and sound and tell us about it when you can. I was down there about 3 years ago when those tornadoes came through and barely missed our camp ground. We could literally see and hear them and I've said since then I will watch the weather and at least not get caught in anything predicted if I can help it. Of course those tornadoes were water spouts that came ashore and without warning. We still have some neighborhood damage and even a few without power. My grandmother was without power from 9:15 thursday night until 4:30 saturday afternoon. My mom had to go get her freezer foods and bring them this way and it wasn't but about 2 hours later her power came on but it took until lastnight for the freezers to refreeze after they defrosted. I know a lot of people who lost a lot of meat stored for winter but thankfully no one in our county died. We had 10 tornadoes in our county alone thursday night.

I'm like you Glen. My diet is really non existent. All my tests came back fine so why can't I lose weight? Of course my thyroid was on the low end but not low enough for any medications. There's some days that I can't make myself get off the couch and wake up and today may be one of them since DH is at work.

Daphne hope you are well. I haven't noticed posting over the weekend but I may have looked with "one eye closed".

Hi to Rosey> get all that meat ready. (shh yuck)

Well I better get up and do something before the couch wins the war again.

hey guys. Survived the hurricane.....power is now back on. DH is OK. Will write more later

Hello Everyone...Its a beautiful day here today..........Sunny and about 75...of course its that way..I can only say that my vacation was a real experience this year..I have to laugh about it all...I will try to give you the condenced version..Its a really long story...

We broke down Friday evening with about 100 more miles to go to get to MB....Our Explorer started over heating and we stopped in this little town that had a gas station a Waffel House and a Tow company...anyway..the guy at the gas station was really nice and helped us..Oh I forgot to say that I called the Ford dealership in the big town of Lumberton that we had passed through. It had a Ford dealership there and we have an extended warrenty on our Truck. We also have a towing service.. I asked the guy a the dealership if they could please fix our truck....and explained we were out of town on our way to MB...He said they were closing in 20 min and if we got there by then..they still would not get to our Truck untill Tuesday of next week and they are not open on the weekends..with that he hung up the phone on me...I was so shocked... Well..can you imagine how freaked-out I was...They guy at the gas station said that dealership was terrible to everyone.. He called the local tow guy that has his own tow comp and repair shop there..He agreed to fix it the following morning but he had to get the part (thermostate ).. the next morning and that took some time..we had to creep down the road and (keep stopping careful not to let the truck over-heat..because it could crack the engine block).. to the only motel there and it was bad..I mean bad..We slept in our clothes bad...I got some paper towels out of our truck and used them to wash my face.. I would not use thier towels..Nasty...very dirty..I could not beleive they charged 65.00 a night and we had no choice but to pay it..Back to the next morning..we got there early so the Truck was cooled off so he could work on it..That took forever..he was slow and talking to every person that passed by... He scared me when he took out a gun and layed in the work bench..I didnt know what to expect..he said because he carrys alot of money on him thats for protection and it was a bad area around there..All the more reason we wanted to get away from there.. 5 hours and 250.00 later we were on our way to MB..I was thankful that he agreed to help us and I dont know what we would have done if he had not done that..

Then we get there the room wasnt as clean as it should be.. Believe me I am not picky picky but when the top of the TV had 2 inches of dust on it and the this is a 5 star place.. I was not a happy camper.. I called housekeeping and they redid the Condo..The sink in the kitchen leaked and in the bathroom another leak...I told you all this was the vacation from ****....LOL LOL..
Then my hubby gets sick with a soar throat and sinus infection...Lucky I had meds for that...and of course the bad weather to boot...Our friends that fly down were late getting in the MB airport and we worried about them..
We got lost trying to find the MB airport..we finally found it..We were given wrong directions...Unreal.....
My cell phone was acting up and I could not get it to work...I was gonna say whats next..but I was afraid to ask..LOL LOL..and of course the bad weather..so all in all it was a wild time...but We made the best of it and had alot of laughs about it..I already told you all about the scary ride home on the bad storms..That was the icing on the cake as they say...Oh well... Next year is another year and Yes I will go back..because threw it all...I love MB and always will..
Needless to say...I was NOT on my diet there... I also had some drinks too.......LOL..I Needed to unwind and I ate alot while I was there... ..

I now need to get back on track...This morning I woke up with a soar throat..I guess I now have what hubby did....Oh well..I starting taking meds today and hopefully I wil better soon.

Dana.. I am so glad you survivied all that horrible weather.. I can imagine how awful it was... I was really worried about you...
Last year we were without power for a week..Remember
From the bad storms.. I know all about losing all food in the freezer and the fridge..I amglad that your Mom didnt lose all of hers...It so costly when that happens..I know about that..
We left and went to MB..I said why stay here with no power..so we went but hubby wasnt feeling that good.. he was still on chemo at the time.
I am so glad to hear that your sugar is normal..I know that you were relieved about that... and all your tests were good.. Thats great..
Maybe you being tired is due to stress..That can make you tired.. I understand that its hard to do anything when you dont feel good..
I am glad that you are safe and that everything is alright with you..
I love okra..It will be so good in the winter time...I miss a garden...
Have a great week

Mr Ken.. I hope you feel better real soon... I dont want to be sick but it looks like I am headed in that direction.. Drink plenty of liquids and rest..
Thank-you for the welcome back..I am glad to be here...Dont worry about your diet.. It will happen when you feel better.
have a great week

Daphne..I hope all is good with you... I hope that your friend Shawn made it threw the hurricane and that they are alright...Those ribs sounded mighty tasty...I love them but they are so messy... I hope that you didnt get any of this awful weather...Thank-you for being in here for Rosey... I knew you would be there...Have a great week

Rosey... I hope that you are having a great time at your DD...I had to laugh about the Moose meat and cutting it up.. I know thats what alot of people do...I hope that you made it to my favorite store...and that you are not still real soar... WAY TO GO on Curves... You are doing it.. ..
I am scared to get on the scales at the gym.. I know that I have gained with all I ate at the beach....but I will get back on track... I bought the fixens for chicken soup today.. I will make it tomorrow..and back to the diet.
Have a great week
