Ann: If you do have flash then wait for it. Its quite cute
As for weighing with the peel on for bananas and oranges, I have never been told that. I have always weighed them with out the peel as I dont eat it. But I will ask when I go to work on Monday. Would like to know as it doesnt seem right to me either.
Maybe Karen has a different answer.
After 2 months in the wilderness I, at last, feel like speaking to others again. We have had a pretty torrid time in the last 2 months what with my eldest son coming home again to live, my youngest son moved into his new house at Ballarat and my daughter resigned from her job. All this has been pretty stressful on me and at long last things are starting to settle down again.
My computer is in the room where Martin is now sleeping and I haven't been able to access at all times like I used to.
You all sound as if you are well. I have been reading what you post and feel that I have kept up with all of you that way.
My weigh-in was not a good one. I gained back the 1.8 I lost two weeks ago. I am just saying it was because I had to "feed my cold'
Welcome back Ash. Sorry you have had to deal with so much stress. That's not good, but glad things are back to normal now.
Lily: I probably didn't wait long enough. The red page came up and the the word loading, 00%, and I just thought that it shoud be there in quick time. Oh well. I'll be interested to hear what they say about the peel. No one eats orange and banana peels. I can see pears or apples.
Have a good weekend everyone. Thanks for the new thread. I still don't understand why I am not getting the notifications. I have checked the email box, but nothing comes through, so I just have to go the the main page, message board, and all the rest to get the page. Any hints/ I have ssent an email to 3FC, but so far no response. Bye for now.
Ann: Dont know what to tell you on the email thing. Think your gonna have to wait for Suzanne to get back to you. Must be something wrong with the board script. Sorry about the gain. But you'll get it back off. I checked the box to see if the email option works for me.
Jenye: So good to see you back! Was wondering where you went. Sounds like a pretty bad couple of months for you. Glad thats its now getting better and slowing down a bit for you.
Beautiful day here! Im going to go outside and read. Dont want to work, just want to be lazy for a change
Thanks Lily. I'll Just keep waiting, and checking the posts. i was just lazy always waiting for my notification. Reading outside sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon.
My cold is improving. so far no coughing spasm today, and I actually was able to sing in church. Things are lookng up. Now just to get rid of the extra.
We are now planning a Dogpatch picnic for the last one of our planned activities. I think it is going to be a lot of fun. Now I'm looking for and appropriaate recipe for punch that I can call Kickapoo Joy juice. Any ideas anyone? We will have Wild Pig(Pork Barbecue) Cold sliced Turkey Vulture(sliced turkey) Possum on a stick(Shishkebob) tater salad, Tooters(baked Beans) Skunk cabbage Slaw, turnip greens, hush puppies, and peach cobbler. Hows that for a Menu. And of course the Kickapoo Joy juice.
We've had a lot of fun just planning it. We've also made special labels to paste over some canned food, like hash, etc, and they will be labelstating they come from Road Kill canning company. Some great stuff!!!: : : :
Talk to you later. We've been invited out to lunch Ann
Very happy person here today, son and his girlfriend arrived yesterday and they just love where we live and are very excited being here till Friday.
Last night I sat in the spa with his girlfriend till 10.30pm, just chatting about anything and everything, I am lucky I get on well with her (and also dd's husband)
Despite the forecast for rain, it is a sunny day here today.
Jeney pleased to see you back, I am sorry to hear about the upheaval in your life. It is something that you could have done without, I am sure, just remember who is number 1 in your life so take care.
Life in Sydney is quite a change from Melbourne and I have to say that I can now very definetly say I prefer Melbourne (but Adelaide is and always will be my favourite!). I just don't like the sub tropical climate in Sydney. DH still goes to Melbourne for a few days every fortnight but now that I am working, I don't go with him He told me the garden show was on again in the Carlton Gardens, I hope you may have had an opportunity to go and have a look at the displays. Last year it was just superb, well worth the visit.
Ann sorry to hear about your gain but good news about the voice! The 'virtual husband' I was unable to view at work but saw it at home, it was good for a giggle and perhaps a little close to the bone
I find out about the cholestrol testing today, I'll be interested to see what it is.
I also got a letter from a little Vietnamese boy that we sponsor. He is so cute and tells me his favourite game is marbles, his favourite subject is story time and his chores are that he has to sweep. It was written in vietnamese and then underneath translated. What gave me goosebumps was his last sentence 'I'll try to study well to be worthy of your care'. To think that our 'care' amounts to $35 per month ( the cost of a nice bottle of wine) made me feel quite quilty. I will write a letter today and perhaps find a nice colourful picture book that he can share with his sisters.
This is a good one We have been getting so much spam email, and some quite pornographic, that I listed a number of words that would be automatically deleted before I ever saw them. Tonight I got 14 messages but only 9 of them showed up for me to read, so I knew my filter was working. Just out of curiosity I went to deleted pages to see the subjects, and guess what - sexy was one of my words, so now I know what has happened to my notifications. Never considered this thread as possible porn.: : : So now I will check my deleted list for my notifications. Good night all. Ann
Went to the doctors about the results of my cholestrol testing, the results were not terrific and she has put me on 'lipitor' to try and reduce it. In 4 weeks time another blood test to check how I am going.
I also mentioned to her that I am sick of having water in my ear and unable to get rid of it. Last night after a spa, I had a swim and again 12 hours later I still have the sensation of water in my ear . She syringed the ear, had to have a go 5 times before something moved. I won't go into the gory details other than I cannot believe the difference the syringing has made. My voice sounds so much louder as does everything else, amazing!
I can now go swimming without that awful sensation of having water in my ear for up to , goodness knows, how long
Soon be time to go home, see ya all tomorrow.....
Cheers
Maria
No really I am glad that you can hear. That had to be very annoying. And I hope the Liptor works for you. My dh takes it and it sounds like others here do too. It is nice to spend time with your son and his girlfriend. And the little boy you sponsor. How heartwarming! You are a very nice person. We watched a show last night on kangaroos. It was interesting to see how they survive in the outback. Well Ann I didn't know this was a porno site. That is a shame that you can get all that stuff in your mail. At least now you know why you weren't getting stuff from here. You latest adventure in the park sounds like a blast. I don't know any punch recipes but I will hunt around. Oh it is time to leave to see if I qualify for another leg study. Peggy
Peggy - you should have the definitive answer on all products--what to use and how to use them! And EEEK! You found a nasty little mouse! That will teach you to clean!
Maria - I think it is wonderful that you sponsor a little Vietnamese child. And for $35 he is getting such a lift in his life! It is so nice to get along with your children's significant others so well. They probably just love you!
Jenye - Wow! What an upheaval you have been going through! So is your daughter re-employed again? Kids can just worry us to death, can't they? I have one son who is 24 who just does not have a clue and we worry ourselves sick over him.
This weekend we had Austin. Austin is 10 months old, not walking yet, and into EVERYTHING. He weighs 27 pounds so he is a large weight to carry around. We had so much fun with him though. Took him to a restaurant and gave him a lemon slice and I was almost hysterical because he kept eating it, doing the wincing with his face and shuddering his whole body and just kept eating it and smiling inbetween. I love being a grandma!
Ann - YEA! for a returned voice. The picnic sounds like so much fun. Your message made me laugh because after your description of the food, someone invited you out for lunch. Maybe they felt sorry for you (with roadkill and such delicacies on your menu).
We had a lovely warm weekend. I didn't get a chance to check in here, there sure were a lot of posts to read. Slavika is without her PC... she took it in on Fri and she is hoping to get it back sometime today.
Now that spring/summer is here we are cleaning up the yard. Over the winter there were voles living under the snow eating our grass. The lawn sure looks weird, little trails where the voles munched up the grass. Our front yard looks like a road map. The really strange thing is that neither of our neighbors had them. The tracks end at the property line It is driving my DH nuts Lily I read that there are a lot of voles in California.. ever have them? Maria we have so much, we give our children so much, it is always heart breaking to see pictures of children who have nothing. Good for you, sponsoring a child. We played Canasta on Sat night with good friends... I thought of you. We play partners, and the "girls" beat the "boys". We were
My DH hasn't had a single side effect from the Lipitor. His numbers are perfect since he started taking it. 90 tablets cost $216.60 here. Glenda What a cute picture that made of little Austin eating lemon slice. He sure is growing fast. What a treat it is for you to spend so much time with him. Ann So funny... a porno site.. Slavika I opened 2 cans today and a pkg of spaghetti... washed everything.. who knew? Now that the cans are opened I have to go and make the spaghetti.
I am quite excited, my very favourite singer was interviewed this morning from Vancouver, Chris Isaak and he is coming on tour to Australia to promote his latest CD (that I bought the day it was released ) He is not going to Adelaide so it is just as well I am in Sydney and I will be able to go to his concert. His TV show is here on cable TV, I must say that I found that show very average but it was still nice to see him sing at the end of the show.
Any other Chris Isaak fans???????
I have also booked for us to go to see a comedian by the name of Rich Hall, he is American. I am not too sure about his type of humour but my son says he is just great! I will let you know tomorrow what I thought. He must be very popular, all his performances were booked out when I tried to book over the internet, I rang the boxoffice on the off chance of a cancellation and got seats. It is also a good opportunity for the kids to experience a performance in the Sydney Opera House
Trudy perhaps you should get the Liptor here, I paid $28 for 30 tablets. I then have to have another blood test to ensure it is not effecting my liver adversely.
I hope I will be the same and have no side effects.
Trudy what are voles??? I initially thought it was a typo and you meant 'moles' but I think you did mean voles.
I have been wondering where Slavika was, I thought she may just be spending a lot of time luxuriating (is that a word???) in her new bathroom.
Well done with the canasta, I haven't played as much as I used to because of 'working' and they don't allow me access at work
Glenda Austin sounds very cute, I can picture the scene with the lemon slice.
Peggy leg study????? is that still the same study or a new one?
Ann I have never tried to filter out sites but it obviously works, perhaps a bit too well
I better go and at least pretend to do a bit of work
Have a great day all
Cheers
Maria
Maria: All the concerts and shows sound great. There is something to be said about the opportunities in a big city. And it is so great that you can get messages from your special child. Must give you a warm feeling. Glad you can hear well again. that is such an awful feeling. You probably were'nt aware of all you were missing. Lipitor is very expensive here also. I am glad that I can get the results I need with Niacin.
Glenda: Austin sounds like a lot of fun. Babies are such a pleasure. I love to rock them to sleep. Something about rocking and singing that is very satisfying.
Lily: Now I know where to look every day for my message. It is just too funny!
Trudy: Must be your grass has the most delicious roots. Since your neighbor hasn't had any problem. Your lawn food must be filled with extra good stuff. : : : All joking aside, Voles can be a terrible problem. When we had that problem in N.Y. state, I remember my dh had some sort of smoke bombs he dropped into their little tunnels. Don't remember how well they worked, but I guess there was some satisfaction in just trying something.
Peggy: What sort of leg test? Sounds interesting.
Hi to everyone. Still looking for a punch recipe. Ann

so take care.
