Trudy: Thanks for sharing those. My leader does The words of Wisdom every now and again. Its great. Really enjoyed the Dash to. Never read that before.

Glenda: Happy Trails? Great way to put it!

Maria: ALAS.....Sorry to hear your DH didnt make it until Intermission And Double ALAS......What they expect you to work now?

Slavika: I would of gone out to. You need to protect yourself first. Surprised that others didnt go out to.

Ann: Good to see you! Wondered what happened to you. Sounds like yo have a great Easter planned!

Peggy: I would love to see South Pacific. Hopefully it will come here.
I havent heard of Swing. That would be a great idea to have someone come to your house and get the works. I would pay for it!

Rita: Welcome! Feel free to jump in, we would be happy to have you! We talk about everything.

I had a car accident Monday night. It wasnt serious but I rear ended someone So I was grumpy yesterday. I havent had an accident in years. ALAS... My poor car is all scratched up and sad

Best get to work. Have a great day

We always enjoy hearing from someone new.
Lily Too bad about the accident. I think you are bound to feel worse when you do the rear ending... did that too.
Did you get my e-mail yesterday?.. if so.. is it doable?

I am doing 3 things at once today, baking, roasting and laundry, so far I have stabed myself with a fork, dropped the roaster lid and put a dent in it and broke a nail to the quick. I NEED HELP!

I will come back when I have myself together..

G'day everyone on a very stormy day here in Sydney.
It is quite spectacular to see the lightening over 'THE' Bridge, what is not so spectacular is the traffic which has just about come to a standstill on the Bridge, probably due to the weather.

Rita Welcome, nice to 'see' you. As Lily said we talk about everything and anything, I love it. I personally feel it is nice not to be continually talking about weight like they do on some other sites. It is important to get down to a healthy weight however I feel there is so much more to life than to become obsessed with one's weight and I really feel here that I am coming to 'talk' to friends who have great empathy with weight loss but also with so many other things, the trivial, the humerous and the more serious.

Ann nice to see you 'back' eventhough you were never away! What a pain server problems are. During the night the server here at work was upgraded, in my previous work that always meant the next day problems , so far so good.
I agree it is nice to know the kids still miss us. It really makes me feel good that they confide in us (something I never did or could do with my parents) mind you sometimes I do wish they didn't share quite so much, as I tend to be a bit of a worrier

Peggy A number of years ago I took my mother to South Pacific for her birthday. I didn't think I would like it much but knew she would. I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable musicals I have ever seen. I haven't heard of 'Swing'. What luxury to have a beautician come to the house

Lily sorry to hear about your accident, pleased you are allright other than your poor car , doesn't need too much to get a few 'dings' in a car but a lot of $$$$$ to get rid of them again

Trudy hope your day improves!!!! Breaking the nail to the quick I could 'feel' all the way down here

I am pleased to say, nothing to do at work today after a couple of hectic days. The meeting I organised yesterday was a great success and as a 'thank you' I was given a large box of Lindt chocolates, just what I need
I have some correspondence (private) to catch up on so that should keep me busy for most of the day.
We have a few busy weeks ahead of us, at Easter we have friends coming, after Easter our daughter and her new dh , then a week after that our son and his girlfriend

Have a very Happy Easter everyone, I will try and check in a few times over the Easter weekend.

Cheers
Maria

Trudy: Sorry again I was so slow. Thats what I get for being grumpy yesterday. Its always do able! She is adorable! I want her! Does remind me of Pumpkinhead.

Check it out!

Grand Doggie Jessica

Maria: Have a fun Easter! Dont be eating all those chocolates Share them with us!

Trudy your granddog is darling. She looks so lovable. Thanks for sharing the picture. Is your day any better .Ouch! A broken nai like that is painful. Lily hope the person you ran into was nice and not real crabby. Is your car in serious shape? From the t.v. ads Swing is about the old time dancing - jitterbug or whatever is called. It looks like fun. Hi Rita, where in Ohio are you. Just jump on in.

Many thanks Lily, I knew I could count on you to do it I have been wanting to put a picture of Jessica up for a while, but never knew how.
I would like to learn how to put pictures on the PC, and then how to post... it seems they never have night school courses for things like that.

I am typing with 9 fingers and it is not easy Since I am a semi-invalid tonight, my DH cleaned up the kitchen ... I thought that was kind of neat.

I started "The Horse Whisperer" on audio tape today, I really hated leaving it at the gym, I am going to like that story. I haven't seen the movie so I have no idea where the story is going.

Off to see what is on TV tonight, maybe something good will turn up.. any chance of that happening?

Bye for now

Loved Jessica, I bet you miss her Trudy !

Lily I am intrigued by how you do that I checked out the home page for 'WGB Creations' thinking I may find out .
The page is very interesting though does not tell me (at least not free!!!) how to post a photo the way you posted Jessica.
Do you work for that company?????

Please unravel this mystery for me!

Cheers
Maria

Peggy: My car isnt serious. Really scratched up but its the thought I rear ended someone that upsets me. I am always so careful. I think my mind must of been else where. It happened so fast. ALAS.... It will still cost a fortune to get fixed all cars do now a days. But really no damage except for the bad scratches and no linscence plate in front. Just cry when I look at it.

Trudy: The best thing to do is get a free place to learn. Like
http://freewebspace.com/
This place has a way to post images and then link to them Its easy to set up. I would be happy to help you if you want to do something like that. The Horse Whisper...Good movie, so I can image the book is good.. Oops nuther one of my honeys Robert Redford. Hummmmmmm I have to go to Utah next month for work. Maybe I should look him up! Sundance! Woo! Slavika wont bring Tom to me so I will just go get Robert for my self

Maria: That is my sisters page. She gave me some space to do what I want. She has also taught me alot. She is really big into web page design and graphics and that is her company. Im trying to learn some of the stuff she does as far as graphics. But I have along way to go I help with my company web page and know HTML so I can write it. But as far as graphics go, I ask my sister to help me You wouldnt want to see some of the things I have made graphic wise. But if you need help in Web page writing I can help there. She does have some Basic HTML help pages on how to start a web page.

Got to go contemplate this Robert thing. Only 3 days there and Im far away from Sundance. Hum Hum just how can we do this?
Where there is a will, there is a way


Rita Do join us. We do talk about a lot of things and have become great friends. We do joke and kid around with each other. But if you need help we are here also. I cried for help last week and Maria came thru with a bunch of sites to help me. We are family and would welcome you as part of "our" family. So jump in! Would love to have you join us! We will support and help you in what ever you need. Some super women here that will go out of thier way to help.

Thanks for that Lily . Lucky you, having a clever sister I have had a very quick look at the tutorials she has on her page, they are excellent, I'll be having a go at the tutorials as soon as I get a chance, it is no good they got me working again
I did do a basic course in html but I have never used just html for doing a web page let alone for graphics, I have Frontpage and Dreamweaver.
I know Dreamweaver is great but I have great difficulty getting my head around it and used Frontpage to do my own webpage which I must get around to updating one day

Good luck with Robert Redford, I must say I do prefer him to Tom
.

Cheers
Maria

Trudy you will love The Horse Whisperer. I liked the book much better than the movie. So did my dh. Even with Robert Redford in it. They always have to change the endings. Lily one can only hope to run into him. Anything is possible. Borrow the Girl Scout motto and always "Be Prepared". Take care today and do not run into anyone. I can imagine that you are shaken up. I know that I would be. A couple of years ago I was sitting a light and the car behind me ran into me and pushed me into the car in front of me. I felt like the middle of an Oreo. Have a nice day everyone. Maria hope you really don't have to "work" too hard today.

HI! Everyone thanks for the warm welcome it really makes you feel good that if you need someone to talk I found someone Ohio is such a beatiful day todayI am going to go out side and get some sunand go for a short walk just wanted to tell everyone to have a great day!!!!!!!!!!! Rita

Hi Everybody
"The Man" that is doing my bathroom just left for lunch. The sink and taps are in, and the floor has been laid. Looking good.
Lily I am so happy that your little accident was just that...."little", and that you were not injured.
Trudy your granddoggie is sooo cute. I know you love it when she comes to stay with you for awhile. How's your boo-boo finger doing? Are you able to "walk"??? LOL LOL Seems to me you got out of doing a lot of stuff I wondered if walking was one of them.
WELCOME RITA it's nice to "see" a new face here on the the board. We all share a desire to lose weight (or maintain our weight) plus we discovered we have have tons of other things to talk about too. I gained approx 10# while on holidays in the month of Feb. and sadly I am still walking around with it. Boy I feel every one of those extra lbs too.

Maria sounds like you will be busy with friends and family. Have a nice Easter if we don't hear from you before then. Peggy the idea of yours using the coffee cans to put Easter treats into was a great one. You sure come up with some great idea's.
Well everybody, I better get busy around here. Bye now.

Slavika.. I did manage to do a few things today, with my index finger sticking straight up in the air... I wonder why people were looking at me...?
By now your bathroom must be looking really good.
Peggy I have to agree with everyone else, you have the best ideas when it comes to crafts. I am guessing, like an artist, it comes naturally. I really do have a hard time visualizing anything so I need instructions.
Lily aah yes, Robert Redford still looks good. I enjoyed seeing him on the Oscars. Just earlier I had watched Biography... he is a very interesting man.
Maria I do believe you have the best job in the world. Lindt chocolates on top of a salary. I would work just for the chocolates
Rita hope you enjoyed your walk, spring has arrived and I think we will all be happy to shed the winter clothes.

Did everyone watch the Oscars last Sunday? I thought the women's hairstyles were quite messy looking, and don't get me started on the dresses. Some of the older actresses looked classy.
I didn't see any of the nominated pictures so the awards were fine with me.

Well, tonight is Survivor night, and even though I don't really enjoy it, I can't stop watching. I don't know why..

Bye for now

Hi everyone; Welcome Rita. Lots of good friends here, and we are certainly all more than willing to help each other, and give support whether needed or not.

Trudy: Great Granddog. A Cocker? or some sort of spaniel. I recognize that sort soulful look in the eyes. Our Cuddles is a Cockapoo, and has that look, even tho' she is much smaller.

Slavika: I hear you about the 10# extra. i've been carrying mine around for some time and just can't seem to keep the numbers going down. It is down one week and up the next.

Maria: Lindt chocolates. What a job! Hope you have a great Easter with your family. My daughter and sil are coming tomorrow for 10 days. Am looking forward to their visit. She needs some R&R as she has had a rough winter.

Lily: Sorry about your accident. And glad you were not hurt. Bet the only thing that hurt was your pride, for making a 'booboo'
Tell me, if I get some pictures developed and put on a disc, can I use that to put pictures on the internet? I'm such a novice? I get a newsletter called The Newbie Club, but they only talk about really simple stuff. You've been at goal for quite a while. How do you manage to maintain?

Peggy: You are a 'crafty' lady. I agree with the gals, it is a gifted talent to be able to do neat stuff like you do.

Glenda: How are things with you?

Will say goodnight for now, and do Wish everyone a very


HAPPY EASTER
Ann
