  • Hi ladies,

    Angie - I had to laugh at your co-worker's remark about the short life line. Fern had a very short one, and she died less than a month short of her 93rd birthday. I think my metabolism is shot from too many years of yo-yo dieting. Exercise is proven to bring it back up, so that's what we should concentrate on. You go first, lol.

    Sue - oh shoot, I hate that your viewers cancelled. Any word from the other people? It sounds like they are very, very interested. Let us know!

    Sassy - so glad you're feeling better today, sweetie.

    Robin - I took a pic of myself to put on here, but when I downloaded it, I noticed there is a glare on my non-glare glasses, and I look like a one-eyed pirate, lol. Ahoy Matey, lol. But I'll try again, ok?

    Michelle - I've always been a very sociable person. My teachers used to tell my mom that I "visit with my neighbors" too much, lol. I was offered a job in an elevator once, lol, by an investment broker who I'd never met before. But I passed.... I'm gonna write a book someday.

    Marti & Julie - yep, the recipe is in the recipe thread. If it's too far down, I'll bump it up, ok?

    Cristi - if you would PM me or call me, I bet this could be worked out, ok? Not sure what happened, or who sent you the PM, as I said, but obviously someone else is hurt, besides you, and with patience, it can be mended, if both parties are willing. Think about it, ok?

    Well, I got my hair buzzed, er.... trimmed today. It grows so darn fast, so that's why she cuts it a little short. Then Neal and I had lunch out, and I was very good with the food. Thank goodness for green beans and tomatoes! We also went to the lawyers to get papers signed giving our son 3 acres. He'll be happy about that.

    Today is the twins' 4th birthday, and Mary is having us over after supper for a party. No temptation with the cake, because she buys them, and I wouldn't waste my points on that!

    We leave for Owensboro tomorrow, but I'll try to be back before then.
  • Marti--it looks like we posted at the same time and both want Jane's recipie!! Glad you have someone to talk to!! We all need that sometimes.

    Jane--When I worked at the Sheetz store--area chain that serves food, sells gas and grocery items. I was always asked to sell Amway and such--I always said that I am not that kind of salesperson--yes, I enjoy people and talk to everyone but that doesn't mean I want to buy into a pyramid scheme!! Happy birthday to the twins!!! DD will be 19 next Tuesday.

    Stopped at a Farmers Market and got sweet corn, sugar snap peas, tomatoes, garlic, cantelope, onions. Hubby builds a fire and we roast the corn in the husk--it's really good that way!! DD & DS are coming out for Father's Day on Sunday!!
  • I'm back for a sec,
    Jules - mmmmm, roasted corn on the cob sounds so good! Hope you have a good time with your DD and DS on Father's Day.

    Well, Neal and I are taking off in the morning for Owensboro, KY to see The Temptations perform tomorrow night. We'll be back for Father's Day, to celebrate with the kids. Katie and Mary are taking care of the meal.

    Hope all of you have a great weekend and have lots of fun with your families.
  • Hi Ladies
    HI Ladies

    Thanks Jules! I bet part of that pic IS the Carolinas! lol. I beleive it was taken at that point where you can actually see 3 or 4 states? Kinda cool. I want to stop by our Farmers Market too and get some fruits and veggies.

    Thanks Jane. I want to get my hair re-cut. I got it cut about a month ago by a little teeny bopper who I think was brand spanking new at cutting hair, but was very sweet so I let her because frankly I just wanted it cut at that point but now I want it re-done as its driving me insane! I hope you had fun at the party!

    Cristina - I hope all is okay hon. Haven't heard back from ya yet from the PM I sent ya lastnight checking on ya. I'm just concerned about ya. I hope you come back to us. Like Jane and Marti said maybe if you talk to them about it maybe between all of ya, you can get this thing (whatever it is) worked out. I hope so as I know its no fun to have your feelings hurt.

    Hi to everybody else! I hope your night is going well!
  • Happy Birthday to the Twins! Hope the Temptations are good. I have a casset of theirs somewhere.

    Jules, ah man my mouth was watering just thinking fresh fruit/veggies. Think i will go to this HUGE farmers market about 40 min drive into the country. I love it cause you walk up there is this smell of popcorn, hay and beef cooking. Kids usually in the corner with a box of new kittens trying to get rid of them. I buy Skittles the best doggy treats there. Gonna go and call my friend Angelika to go with me.

    Shel, I just love the mist you can see in your picture.

    Today was my last day of training that woman...(THAT woman) gotta say it was attitude. I had a talk with my boss, told her didn't think she could do the job, which is honestly the truth. The woman can't even open her email.

    I was crazy busy today, we have our Stampede BBQ in a couple of weeks. Stampede starts soon. Calgary is unbelievable during this time. Seriously you can eat for free for 2 full weeks with all the breakfasts and then lunches and dinners going on. So I spent the day emailing all these big shots invitations,,,WAHOOO Pardner it's that time again to enjoy our fine fair,,,so come on over to the corral and belly up to the keg (being we sell beer...*eyes roll) had to sign a name so I signed Jill's...lol She did give me a script but how boring it was...I improvised...*evil grin

    The carpet was laid today and I am so enjoying the nice plush feeling. Need to vaccuum and then touch up the paint,,,and bring down the furniture. Gonna love having all that extra space.
    well off to bed I go.
    night all
  • What a day! I got called this morning at 9:00 right after I got of the computer, asking if I could come in a little early. So I went to work at 11:00, and got to come home at 7:30!! Fantastic!

    Must say this. I feel great after my meeting today. I got lots off my chest and that was all I needed to do. Let go of it. He was so nice to talk to. I told him that he should be our new Supervisor!! He'd be great. He's still young and just graduating from College....but in a few years, he'll do fine.

    Glad that's all dealt with! Now...to concentrate on the belly and thighs I'm jigglin around!

    Jules--Is a size 1 a real size?? I remember when I was 18 and I was a size 5. I was about 110lbs. But the size 5's now are lots bigger looking compared to back then! Who decided it was ok to change the sizes? And Why did they. Were they closer back then? Or are they now? Am I even making sense any more?? LOL So when are you going to try the pie?? Sounds good, I might attempt it this weekend.

    Jane--Have fun this weekend!! And wish the twins a Happy 4th birthday!! My gal turns 12 on Wednesday. 12!! Can you believe it? My baby girl? Not a baby anymore!! Since she's spending Fathers Day weekend w/her dad....next weekend we will celebrate by going to the coast. Will be fun!

    Shel--Ooh...brave girl having someone brand new cut your hair!! Very sweet of you too! I need to get mine done sometime soon. Perferably before vacation....but then....I get these comments on how beautiful my hair is, and I look and think? What in the world are these people talking about? Are they trying to make me feel better about myself?? I think I need to take some "learn to love myself" classes!


    Hello to everyone else out there!! Hugs to you all! I'm going to browse a little bit more then I'm off of here!! Going to get my creative mind working and try and make a paperbag scrapbook! Anyone make one before??

    Talk to you later!
  • MARTI -- I'm so glad you were able to talk to such a nice guy and get everything off your shoulders now. You know, I had a friend years ago that used to wear a size 0-1, and after having three kids, she went up to a 3 and was upset about it. She still was way too thin, but she liked being able to buy her clothes in the kids section at Meier and Frank. Hope you can just relax now and concentrate on YOURSELF! Have a good evening!
  • Angie!! Now where did you come from? Posting while I was a posting! I wanna come to the stampede! What is a stampede? I'm picturing cattle stampeding through the town.....kind of like they do in Spain.....What I really want is all the free food for two weeks!

    Michelle!! You popped in too!! LOVE the hair cut! Cute!! Did you get bangs or have you always had some and they were just pulled back?? Maybe I should get an update photo of myself and post it.

    Just had to say hi!!

    Now....I think we're full here so off I go to make a new thread.
  • Going to close this thread...so meet us at #198!
