We are a very warm, friendly and fun group of ladies who talk about everything. We also provide encouragement and support in our walk toward a healthier lifestyle, as well as in our every day lives.
So...grab a cup of coffee, diet coke, etc. pull up a chair and join us!
Can't remember who all lost weight this week, but CONGRAT'S to all you losers and
Marti~glad James is home! So would you guys consider moving to Portland considering it seems he will be working there from now on? Or is this just a temporary thing? Hope your kitty is better, and try not to flash anyone today missy!
Jen~hope the stabbing wasn't close to you. We have a old case that came up again from back in the 70's called the BTK killer. Apparently he is back and trying to be known again.
Jana~I just ordered the R is for Ricochet book from the book club and if you order that one you can get any of the others for $5.99, which is a good price. I just ordered one more because I haven't read any of these and if I don't care for them then I would be stuck with a bunch of books by her. Plus, while the price is cheap enough, they get ya on the shipping, especially on a big order.
Susan~are you talking about a Maltese? If so they are so adorable! My neighbor had one and she was the cutest dog, I wanted it. Of course I have always wanted one of those or a Yorkie but people sell them for an outrageous amount of money so never got one. But they are cute! When we get ready for another dog, DH SIL sells chihuahua's and we plan on getting one from them. I want another inside dog but a small one, smaller than little Ernie dog, who isn't so small-18 pound chunk'o!
Boy, ladies what is this spay or neuter week for all the babies?? We haven't had Ernie done and doubt that I will. I just don't see putting him through the pain for no reason. He is never around other dogs, strictly an indoor dog. Goes out to do his business in a fenced yard so...and when we get another dog it will be another male. Hope all your babies are feeling better.
Hi to everyone else! Can't remember who all posted on Chit Chat #63 or what was said so forgive me.
Not much going on with me. Have some errands to run a little later and that is about it. Going to try and go for a walk later if it doesn't start raining, supposed to later on in the day so we will see. If not maybe get in a walk on the treadmill. Monday is the big day to get back on the wagon and get down to business. Need to go check out WW sites and get an address and meeting times. I am hoping where I went before is the same, Monday at 6 pm. it is just around the corner and I figure if the weather is good I can get in a good 30 minute walk to the place. Anyhoo...have a good day ladies! See ya soon
All this talk of "fixing" things would have my tubes twitchin; - if I hadn't already had 'em tied! I had my tied off during my c-section with DD. I knew absolutely there would be no more. I mean, I was 36, just felt like I was done, you know. I 'm glad the birth control years are behind me.
Shanna- note my age - it ain't over til it's over sweetie... About the chat..do you have a pop up blocker on your web browser? I have one on mine and I can't use the chat unless I turn it off - prevents java from kicking in. If any of you have ever been to Dotti's Weight Loss zone (dwlz.com), there's a great before/after pic of her. You just move your mouse over to get the pic to change...well, I have to turn my pop-up blocker off to get that to work. Fortunately, it is pre-set to the wonderful "after" photo....
Running out of time here..so I'll just have to say "hi" for now. Congrats to all the great
"losers" out there. When I was in TOPS we always had a loser of the week, which was kind of weird at first, but got used to it...yeah "loser" is a GOOD word!
Jana - Don't know about my smarts - I think I just gab too much. I'm a little bit of a computer nerd. My dad's sold computers and been in consulting for years. I have been using them since 1983. I tend to be a jack of all trades, master of none! Still keeping my fingers crossed for Caylin, tho' sounds like the news will be good.
Sorry I missed the chat last night - but Kerry's speech rocked! I have to confess, though, in this house he is preaching to the choir. Hope I don't offend anyone's political sensibilities, but I am such a little lefty, lol! I would be interested in seeing how he's playing to undecided voters. I think that's really where this election is going to be played out...
I'll try to check in on our chat room tonite at the same bat-time, same bat-channel on the off chance anyone else is there...so who knows?
RK
Hi RosieKate! I have been to Dotties site and it is wonderful. She has come so far.
Never had my tubes tied, and don't take BC and Shanna, as RK said it ain't over till it's over sweetie! I got pregnant at the ripe old age of 40! Yes, ladies the is the big 4-0, and yes it was planned. Women now days are waiting longer than ever before because they want their careers first which I totally understand so Miss Shanna you still have plenty of time girly!
Anyway...to the reason I am back AGAIN! I went and did it! Okay, so scratch everything I said about WW in the previous post. I went to the site to find out if the meeting place was the same time and all, and I joined online! Call me crazy but for some reason it appealed to me. So I signed up for the three-month deal which saved $15 and for signing up then there was also a $10 coupon-not bad, not bad at all. Can you tell I am excited?!!! Of course that totally changes my WI to Friday now-bummer-just when I was used to Monday WI! Not sure what I weigh either. Now to go back and spend a few hours getting around and getting everything down. But for now...I HAVE to get in the shower and get gone!
Want to spend time with James...then later we pick up Jhanai...the house will have people who will talk back with me!!!! (darn those dogs....need to train them to speak!)
I will do individuals later tonight....right now I need to hop in the shower and get going...have to meet my landlord later to sign a rental agreement.....and then meet up with Shanna to hand over the little black boy kitty.
TGIF to everybody. It is rainy here, so no walking today unless it clears off. I am still not feeling up to par, so I can excuse not walking. Had my scopes yesterday and I just feel sore on the inside. Does that make sense? I sure had a good nap in the afternoon after my DD brought me home. She made me stay at her house for a few hours so she could see that the drugs were wearing off. As it is I can not remember anything after they gave me the "twilight sleep." Now that is a good way to do things! Seems strange to just lose that time though.
Dr. said everthing looked good and he just sent in two biopsies. I was most concerned about the colon since I have a family history of colon cancer on both sides. That was okay, no polyps, nothing. The stomach is where he biopsied, but he didn't think it was need for worry. I will see him next week.
That is all the good news. The bad news is that I still have no answer for my illnesses.
I am sorry to not do individuals, but I am so far behind on what is going on. Just want to say congrats to all the losers....and all the OP's who are still trying hard.
not going to bother you all with individuals. i am extremely depressed and going to give you a break from me. i will check back in on monday. good luck to everyone and i hope you have an excellent weekend
TJ - we don't need a break from you! Whatever you are going through, I hope it gets better, and wish you wouldn't wait until Monday to come back. If you don't feel like sharing here, I hope you share with David or a close friend or relative where you live. I'll be thinking about you...
Sally - if you're reading this, you found the right place!
Just got woke up from a nap by the neighbor.....couldn't get my dog to shut up. But he brought over a cat condo for the kitties....that was nice of him.
Shanna came over earlier to pick up the black kitty....now to find homes for the other two. I typed out a little "history" of the cat for his new owner.
I'm feeling woosy....nothing like taking a nap and being in a deep type of sleep and being woken up by barking dogs.
I better get going....I have to go pick up Jhanai in an hour or so.
Talk to you all later
Marti
PS--TJ--As Jana said...we are here if you need us, so don't ever feel like you need to give us a break. That's what friends are for!!! I hope things start getting better.
TJ, we have all had times when we were depressed,,,unloading/venting helps.
RK you talk politics all you want,,,I don't know what you are talkinga bout any ways...lol
Sue, arghhh I don't like being put under at all,,,I had an abalation last Oct. was the best thing I ever did. Hope you find your answers soon...
Marti, Im jealous, I need a nap,,,and I have to work tonight on the same case as before. My plans for tonight was, football, then come home finish laundry then off to either Becky's or Angelika's for girl talk and wine...not that I can drink wine,,,antibiotics still. But to hang...
Im keeping up with laundry,,,just not putting all the clean stuff away! Im living out of my baskets.
Well I gotta get going,,,love watching the kids practise,,,there is one girl who makes me want to jump up scream girl power! Shes 11-12 shes one of the top 3 fastest runners out of 23. She can throw a ball solid. Im impressed!
Have 15 minutes before dinner break, thought I would peek in and say hello.
Sue my thoughts are with you! I just get rather absent minded and don't pay attention to what others are going through. Kind of scan over post at times.....didn't realize about your medical problems, sorry. Hope you get some answers soon
TJ- warm fuzzies with you!! Hope you have a good weekend. Pamper yourself, that might help some, hot bath, strolling at the mall,read a good book, go see a good movie, take a country drive..... Just hope you feel better.
YAY on the WW membership Cristi! That is exciting, love WW myself, just never could afford it.
Yes, Maltese!! It is a male, 7 years old. I brought him home today. He is a divorce settlement dog, the husband won him in court but now can't take him. So the wife was looking for a new owner........YAY- me...
Cute little thing. The hair is cut short though, going to let that grow out. Gaby, Rebecca and Rachel went with me to pick him up this morning (who btw he was free- YAY) I brought him home and gave him a bath, fluffed his air and had fun combing him.
Stinger ( the dog) didn't pay any attention to Mia the kitty. I will probably let my mom have Mia if they don't get along, though I think they will.
Don't really like the name Stinger but that is his name, so should stick with that.
Very cute!! Will try and get some pictures taken this weekend.
Speaking of laundry - Angie...........I have tons to do! I better go put in a load now.
Thanks- Jana.........I am still looking at the schedule and find something to take, probably will be that excel class though. 143.5 this morning!!! YAY- maybe all that whadder melon flushing out of the plumbing??? lol
Glad James & Jhanai will keep you busy for the weekend, Marti!! You really don't want conversations going on when it is just you in the house!! lol
Hi to everyone!! I will leave someone out so won't scroll a list........hey, Shanna.......I have kids if you want kids!!
Back for a post before beddy-bye...
Jana - sorry I had to leave chat so quickly....my free time is so unpredictable right now...hope I can do more chatting on future Thursdays...it's so much fun!
Jo - Sorry to not respond to your post on the last thread - did you figure out what to do about the job situation? If it were me and I had a firm offer from company number 2, I'd tell my boss at company #1, particularly if the #2 job is offering you more money. Your current company may pony up some money or benefits to try to keep you. If they don't, well, that will tell you something, too....hope I read the situation correctly. Bravo for the great job offer! now the hard part.
TJ - please don't stay away because you are sad...we will miss you! Who knows someone here might be able to cheer you up!
Marti - hope you are enjoying your time with your family...
Susan - the good scale vibes are in your orbit - it' s heading back down. Yay! Hope the cat and dog and kids all get along....one big happy family! Sounds like y'all are off to a great start!
Christi - Ww online sounded pretty good to me too. I'll be paying attention to your thoughts on it as you get into it. I get their email update and they keep pushing this recipe finder that looks pretty cool - but I have to pay to join online to get a crack at it. I'm sure enjoying WW at home.....
Night night everyone - sorry if I missed anyone - will try to catch up tomorrow..
RK
I am going to bed too RK- you didn't say if you had any plans for this weekend?? I hear the Washington County fair has free admission??
I am not sure what I am going to do. Sunday is church of course. Gab goes with her dad on Sunday evening, til Tuesday evening. Might take the girls to Mt Hood, or Enchanted Forest........EF would be fun
Thanks Cristi!!!! Lovely lady in my mail today, along with a nice note.Made my day
I went home and took the doggie for a walk around the block. Put him back in the apartment and headed for Freddies, picked up dinner.Came home - gobbled down.
Took doggie to work with me and combed him some more.
co worker came over and we ate cookies.........no , not the computer kind. Waaaaay too sweet.Yuk......
Handed out my newsletter and now I need to head to get Gaby, tired.
Happy it is the weekend!!! Hope you all have a good one!
Just popping in to say good morning! I don't have alot of time. I should be cleaning the house. It's such a mess. I'll be going out with DBF tonight. Maybe back to that delicious stir-fry restaurant. YUM!
I have let the cats out of their room this morning. So far, so good. The one still has her conehead on. She doesn't mind it so much! Funny. I do take it off for short periods of time, but then she just goes nuts with her feet and belly. She'll just have to get over it!
Just saw in the paper today that both Kerry and Bush are going to be in Davenport, IA (5 min away) next Wed. Could be interesting. They aren't releasing any details yet. I would like to see Kerry, but don't know if I can get away from work.
Well, I should go get busy. If I get done at a decent time, I may be back for individuals.
