HA HA HA HA.. I was playing well site operator yesterday. It was really interesting actually. I love learning new things. And it was nice and sunny yesterday so it was good to be outside. BUT I did have to wear a radio and that was a little scary, I hate how the whole site can hear you (if they have one too or are in the control room) when you talk into it, not just the person you want... I say the stupidist things at times.. he he but then I am just a girl he he he he *hair flick* and a blonde one at that.. ha ha ha.

Thanks for the handy turtle guide, I was going to go to the pet shop for some treats, but I think now I will go to the dairy. (p.s pic on right is a terrapin i think!)..hmmm chocolate..

Yay yay yay the BF is back now too.. and he was nice about my scars having faded (yeah right but still).. it's so good to have him back, only I miss our lunchtimes...still at least I'll have friday afternoon off to hang with him!

Well I shall toddle off to the caf and see if there is some chocolate slice I can monster.
Tiff

Terrapins are still turtles! I hope you got the right version to chow down on, NBK!

Hi everybody. Sorry I haven't posted. Our whole system went down yesterday. It didn't get fixed until yesterday afternoon, so I had to spend all afternoon playing catch up. That put everything I was working on for yesterday on hold until today. I am almost finished, but it is slow going.

Anyway, wanted to say hi and that I am reading...periodically! Hope everyone is having a great day!! Will try to jump back on later!!

Hi shanberg, glad to see you! I was wondering where you'd gone to. I too haven't been posting that much because I've been so busy but also because this place seems to have run out of steam. I hate that but am hoping people are just in a writing slump and will pick up later. It was sure nice to have NBK back after a long spell. Stormy is still with us but I guess we lost grasshopper. Sure wish Crime Girl would come back! Shan, hold us together!!

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all doing well. All this talk about turtles is making me hungry. I am trying to avoid temptation, but this is the time of year it seems when people are selling girl scout cookies and kids are selling candy for fund raisers. Thankfully, you can order a magazine subscription instead of candy! My energy level is really low and I am trying to bring it up. A low energy level makes exercising consistently really difficult, but still I trudge along. The good news is that the sun is shining and it has been a scorching 40 degrees for the past two days and my mood is improving I am really looking forward to walking outside although Leslie and her walking group have taken me through the bitterly cold winter. I hope the news is wrong in predicting snow in a few days I am suffering from a serious case of cabin fever right about now. For everyone still hanging in there even when the chips are down you deserve a If anyone is interested I have collected a folder full of useful websites and articles regarding weight loss and maintenance. Have a great day everyone and I look forward to reading your posts.

Hi Red! I managed to get everything caught up, so I should be back to normal posting tomorrow! Don't give up on the thread yet!!

Supremeprincess - glad you are still around. Hang in there with the weather! Maybe it will clear off for ya in a couple of days!!

Will type more tomorrow! Have to run now!!

Tootles!

Hi subpreme! Sorry to hear you're feeling down. I'm sure spring is just around the corner so hang in there!

Hello all,

Yes, I have been M.I.A. (Missing In Action). I call myself upgrading the motherboard in my computer and it turned into a major project. Well needless to say I built myself a whole new system thank goodness I'm a computer tech....or this would have cost me a couple of thousand dollars....LOL

RED~I am still catching up on all of the postings, however I did hear about "Tetchan". I lost my dog "Teagger" to cancer back in 2000 and I still miss her. I took 3 days of bereavement from work and when I returned there was a pet sympathy card on my desk. I thought that was so sweet. Needless to say my prayers are with you.

ALL~ I want to thank you all for checking up on me . Although I have lost 2lbs since my last post it has been an up hill battle. At first it wasn't so hard, but then I went on a trip with my sister out of town. Now I didn't do as bad as you may think, but we all know we are our worst critic. When I got back home it was as if sugar was waiting at my front door. Ok maybe it was a Honeybun Oh how I love them with their cinnamon glaze dripping from their plastic wrapper (wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth). Oh let me stop and just focus on the size 12 skirt I just bought today. YES SIZE 12!! (I'm doin' the "Happy Dance"!!)


I hope that all of you are in good health

~Tae

Tae, good to see you found the new thread. How are you doing? It looks like this thread is dying on us! Yikes! Never thought it would. It was so hopping there for a while. Let's hope it springs up again with the coming spring!

I actually got on my exercise bike (after digging it out in my room) and pedaled for 30 mins. this morning before work. I was so tired at work, felt dehydrated even though I drank a lot of water. Hmm. I haven't sweat like that in a while! It felt good.

Still ok on sugar. Hurrah for me! I do want it though. I'm so sick of not being able to eat all those things in front of me. Well. . .move them so they're NOT in front of you or MOVE yahself! I hear a little voice say. Ok, Ok! No, really, Easter bunny, I'm waiting for you. . . she's losing it, slowly but surely. . .

[redballoon]

Bumping up the dying thread. Is this it? Shall we play taps?

I am so sorry I have abandoned you all for so long-
Hopefully we can breathe some life back into this dying thread.
Thanks so much to the people who have made an effort to keep us up and running-

I am back now- still applying for jobs like crazy and wildly careening toward graduation. I have 6 weeks and my school career is over for awhile. I think I can keep it together until then.

Not doing to good with food and exercise and really have no exuse for that. I could eat better- I could make time and exercise. I just can't seem to motivate myself to do that. I lost so much motivation that I quit coming on here even though I know it is a nurturing and supportive place to be.
I will try to catch up but I fear I have missed a lot.

Red- Did you get caught in the earthquake?? Are you OK??? I saw it on the news and freaked!

Welcome dee! We are glad to have you on board!!
Okay need to run- just wanted to make contact and let you all know I am not dead. I will try to get on later and definitely will begin responding and such to posts tomorrow.
Hope you are all well!! I have missed you!

Welcome to the group Deeyala. I just spent time look at everyone's weight tracker and all of you are doing so good. I was starting to crave huneybuns and cake again, but seeing those trackers really changed my mind.
