Boo, too!!!

The only treat or treaters were from our block. Everyone is being extra careful this time. I have all these Milky Way & 3 Musketeer miniature bars. Not a good thing. I hate to throw them away but I can't let them stay in this house.

Susan, I always liked the exchanges in WW. I liked them much better than the point system. How often do you pay? Is it weekly or monthly?

Tammy, a glider sounds great.

Dee, did everyone have to dress in costume at your work? My husband took today off to work on the house. He was happy it was today because they were "told" to wear costumes. That's not his thing.

Have a great OP day tomorrow.
Tina

Dee, last year I was dealing with a heal spur. I had a cortisone shot (that made me almost pass out). It helped for a while. My doctor recommended that I wear better shoes. He didn't think my $10 shoes from Wal-Mart were a good choice. I am now wearing Birkenstocks. They are expensive, but they are well worth the price. I also wear inserts in some of my cheaper shoes. I bought the inserts at Wal-Mart (I think). It has really helped.

Tina, I'd be glad to take that candy off your hands!!! LOL

I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. Long week. The interpreter has not been there the past 2 days. We've handled it, but I know it gets frustrating for the little boy sometimes.

Tammy I remember you talking about your heal spur last year. How long did it take to get better? I've been dealing with mine for a very long time now, and it doesnt seem to get better. I've tried 2 different inserts....one the doc recommended (which made my foot hurt worse) and a set from Walmart...which dont do much. I have one more set that I bought (accidently :dizzy: ) which I should try. Also bought 2 new pair of shoes....that had a lot of cushion in the heal area....I dont want a cortisone shot!!! I've had that once...and I did pass out from it, wasnt too fun.

So my walking right now is mostly when necessary... unfortunately I have to walk at work alot....strange thing to me is that even when Im off my foot then step down on it, it hurts big time!

Tina, only the ones that wanted to dress up at work did so. We just do fun things at times, and let those that are brave enough, or silly enough to dress up :) But it was fun, and there were lots of laughs that day.

Can you believe Im gonna pass on your candy bars Tina? I even gave a bunch of little candy bars away today instead of bringing them home....my kid got plenty of candy the other night, and Im gonna keep it at "grandma's" instead of here....less tempting :)

Have a great weekend all......Dee

T G I F

Dee and Tammy, have y'all tried Dr. School's inserts?
They are advertised all the time. I know that they're more expensive than Wal Mart's but maybe it's worth a try

I didn't have anyone to give my extra candy so I threw it all away this morning! Yes, I'm so proud of myself. Listen, last night, I was so hungry and I ate two miniature bars. That was it!!!!! Out it went this morning!

Susan, how was your week?

Maureen, are you weighing in this time? Did you have a hard week staying OP?

Like Dee said, "Happy Weekend"

Tina

I can't believe that I'm up this late. :dizzy:

Susan, how is your friend doing? Are you taking her for treatments every week? How many more weeks does she have?

Dee, I wish you could stay off that foot this weekend.

Is it possible that Thanksgiving is just around the corner??? Where is this year going!!!!!

I'm going to do my best staying OP this weekend.

Tina

Sorry everyone :( I thought I had posted in the last day or so. Boy was I wrong!

We never have trick or treaters. I guess because of where we live. We never had any in the apartment either. I wish we did. I would definitely have to buy candy that I hated. .... which isn't very many! :)

Way to go Tina for throwing out those candy bars. If it is there I'll eat it. I've throw candy out the car window when I buy it and start gobbling it down. Don't worry!! It is never the wrappers, only the candy. I always think the birds will enjoy it more than me!!

The Diet Center cost about $40 a week, (I paid for 6 weeks at a time.) She told me that she runs a Christmas special that will be cheaper. I know that is more than WW but it is helping. So I'll keep paying it. I run by there at 7:30 in the morning on the way to work for just a few minutes. I do think going 3 times a week helps a lot. I've lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks. I know it will start slowing down now. I feel myself getting undercontrol.

Tammy and Dee, ouch!!! Bone spurs sound like they really hurt! Is surgery the only solution for them?

My friend goes to her 2 chemo treatment in 2 weeks. She got sick the day after her treatment. She is very tired. I called and talked to her husband to check to see if he needed me to do anything and to make sure that she is really ok. She has 3 more treatments (3 weeks apart). Then 6 1/2 weeks of radiation everyday.

I mentioned to my principal about needing to leave school some to take her. He said, just let me know and patted me on the shoulder. He is a wonderful man.

No plans for this weekend. We are just going to hang out. Cleaned the house this morning.

We are staying here for Thanksgiving. We'll have some friends that have no place to go come over.

I'm having a lump cut out of my arm, on the 19th. It will be day surgery. Don't worry, I've have it done before. It's due to the trama of falling off my bike several years ago. It's because nerve damage takes up to 6 years to heal. Not a big deal since I know what it is! first time I was worried.

Ok, since I wrote a novel, I'll sign off for now.

Have a GREAT DAY! Enjoy the weather.

Susan

Susan, as long as that post was I thought I was reading one of the Harry Potter books!!! LMAO Sorry. Had to be a stinker.

My doctor says no surgery for the bone spur. I really don't notice it too much as long as I'm wearing the Birkenstocks. The inserts that I bought at Wal-Mart were Dr. Sholls. I have 3 different sets of insoles and those are the ones that help the most. The others are worthless. The doctor had recommended Tulli heel cups. What a waste of money!

I think I'm going to order another pair of Birks on-line. They have a sale going on right now. Now that I know my size, I'm more comfortable ordering on-line or from a catalog instead of finding a store.

My brothers and their families always come here for the holidays. This is where we grew up, and when we bought the house after my parents passed away, that was kind of an unwritten agreement. Sometimes I wish we could go to someone else's house though.

Not sure when they are coming for Thanksgiving. They have the other side of the family to spend time with also. Bob's parents passed away about 4 years before mine, so it's just us. My aunt called and invited the 3 of us to their house Thanksgiving Day. Looking forward to that. My cousin will be home from Texas. Don't get to see her often enough.

I just made fun of the length of someone else's post, now look at how long mine is!!! Harry Potter, book 5?

Okay, I feel left out. I don't read Harry Potter :) would you believe the guy secretary does. :) I think he's a kid at heart.

I wish everyone was here. I have so much chicken tetrazzini left over from lunch. We'll have it for supper all this week.

Tammy, that was a good one!! :lol: I love to order on line!!

Tina, we'll be there for lunch!! What NO LONG POST?????? It's your turn now, Tammy and I have had our turn.

Hope ya'll had a good Sunday!
Susan

Tina, I have read ALL of the Harry Potter books and I also plan to see the movie! It isn't just for kids! I love it!!!!!! My brother and my 2 sisters-in-law have also read them.

I'm also into the Left Behind series! We just bought the newest one, but I haven't started it yet. Had to finish another book that was totally weird. Can't stop in the middle, so I had to finish it. Now I've started The Painted House by John Grisham. I borrowed it from another teacher at school, so I need to read it before starting Desecration. Sure glad that I love to read!!

Can't decide which pair of Birks to order. What a dilemma! I know I want a black pair. I have brown and blue.

One of my good friends went on her Emmaus Walk this weekend. That's what I did last April. I went to the closing ceremony this afternoon. It's always an emotional time. Glad that I got to be there with her (and a few others that I knew!).

We ordered a pizza for lunch about 2;00 this afternoon. I figured there would be plenty left over for my lunch tomorrow. I guess if I like cardboard boxes I'm in luck. That's all that's left.

Not quite as long as the last post I made, but long enough.

It's too quiet around here!!!

How is everyone doing? You must be real busy not to be posting.
I was so lazy yesterday.

I'm going to weigh in tonight with Larry. Wish me luck! I got on my scales this morning and I "should" have a 1 pound loss tonight. Keep your fingers crossed.

Okay, I'm doing housework today. I've already washed a load of clothes; have the oven ready to pop in some chicken breasts to bake; going to wash my hair; and will cut out material for another jacket [this one is a Christmas gift].

Tina

It is quiet! I don't even remember last night, so I don't know if I was on the computer or not!!

Tim is at basketball conditioning. I need to pick him up in 25 minutes. They find out Thursday who is on the team.

How did weigh-in go Tina?

My doctor has me checking my BP almost daily. It has been so high lately. Possibly going on medication if it doesn't come down SOON! I don't know why it is up so high.

Hope everyone is doing OK!!

Hi,

It has been quiet ! I'm actually awake at this time. Normally I fall asleep on the couch during the evening.

Hey guess what, I walked around the pasture with my dog. (Well, part of the pasture.) We need to mow around the fence so I can walk without being in tall grass.

I go weigh in the morning. Hope I did something too!

Tina, let us know how you did!!

Tammy, I have high blood pressure too. Believe me, I can now tell when it goes up. I'm on meds. and have been for about 2 years.

Hope ya'll have a good evening. I have a workshop tomorrow so don't know if I will post or not.

Susan

Hey group.
I went to the Doc today....thinking I would get a cortisone shot for my foot...but he didnt think that was the way to go. He wants me to do sonogram therapy..or something like that....twice a week. Unfortunately...that would mean missing work to go to the Dr Office, and paying for each visit....which I dont want to do :) So at this point Im not sure what I'll do about the foot... but definately no surgery!!! Owwwwchy.

Susan how big is your pasture that you walk in? Sounds like you had a good walk.

Tammy, hope everything turns out ok with your BP, and you dont have to go on meds...... Did you ever decide which Birks to order? I have a friend at work that thinks those are the greatest shoes.

Weren't you the domesticated one the other night Tina ;) cooking and sewing!! My idea of cooking is pop it in the micro!!

Have a great day tomorrow everyone...Dee

Hi,
I didn't make it to weigh in tonight. :(
That little light on the dash board that says "Check Engine" came on this afternoon. We don't know why. Larry is going to drop the car off on his way to work in the morning.
Sooo..... we didn't want to drive it anywhere tonight.

Susan, good luck at your weigh in tomorrow.

Tammy, that's no good about the bp.

Dee, yes, I feel very domestic now. I haven't gotten to cook much in so long. It's fun getting to buy "real" veggies and cook them. :lol:

Have a great Wednesday!

Tina
