Good Morning All!

Ok, Theresa you can choose a color, but then you get this tiny box to put what you want in it. ;) Fun anyway!

Had the weekend from *ell :devil: trying to console my Mom. She is mourning the loss of her house. We went furniture shopping on Saturday and she finally did find something that she liked and bought. So now she is donating her living room furniture.

Theresa - My DH never wanted dogs or A dog for that fact. But once we had one, guess who said it was his. Just you wait, I bet the same thing happens to you. :smug: Amazing isn't it!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I couldn't get on here because Rachel was hogging it for a school project. Oh well, to tired to care at this point. Can't wait for parents to move and school to be over.

Talk to you all later.
Lynn:cool:

hi everyone--
Theresa -- I agree with you. Does DH at least see your point. We gave the dog to the kids for Christmas last year. We picked her up from the breeder the day after Christmas. For Christmas, they opened a box that had 3 beanie baby golden retrievers and I had lined the box with pictures I had taken of our actual puppy when I had picked her out. Winter is a little rough for housebreaking. Plus taking her out in the beginning in the middle of the night is COLD. Luckily, we didn't have much snow that winter. Do you have any fall holidays? Or maybe next easter? A puppy is tough during summer vacations. What kind are you thinking of? ohhh --and happy 40th (a litttle late) Welcome to the club.
Have fun at dinner -- Cindy, Lynn & Laurie

Hello,

Hmmmmm Linn, I was thinking the same....maybe Easter. also I've got a very old cat (14).....i don't think she's gonna be amused having a puppy in the house. ......and I know this sounds really selfish, but I'd kinda like to be the one to buy "MY" kids a puppy........ when the time come lol

geez, Lynn, you've already figured out "colors" lol I'm afraid I'll lose my post if I mess with it. lol

I'd better go, need to get some things done around the house.

:wave: to Viv, Ellie, Laurie, Cindy, Robin. :)

see ya, Theresa

HI Theresa --
ABSOLUTELY --- I made sure I did. If I'm going to be the one stuck w/ ultimate care etc, why can't I have the joy of giving it. My family wanted to --- but I did --- I couldn't let SAnta -- because they know what breeded we went to.

Hi Everyone!

I like what they've done with the site. I like having the smilies on the screen where I'm typing. I'm using my work laptop tonight. It's a nice machine - Dell C600.

Lynn & Cindy - I'm looking forward to seeing you guys. I get off work at 6:00 so will be at FSK Mall as soon as I can. Lynn you can call me at work 800-334-2255. After you are prompted to give an extension, put in 4649. You'll get to my voicemail at the very least.

I worked out today for the first time for a long time. :D I hope my knees don't make me suffer too much.

Well, time for bed. Have a good day tomorrow everyone.

Laurie

Hello!
Have fun for those of you meeting today; how exciting!;)

I'm having a good week; hope it shows on the scale!Robin , how are you doing?

Theresa , oh I'm sure the cat would hate a puppy! You could just imagine the hiding places he'd find just to get away from the pup!!:lol: Linn My female golden is in the early stages of hip dysplasia. She is on glucoseamine and she has to lose weight.

OK, this post is screwing up. Nothing will line up right! I'll post and see what happens.

Viv? how are you doing?

Hi Everybody! :)

I have been so busy today. Between trying to clean out more stuff and having a hauler come in to take things away at the end of the week and picking up kids. OH! I'm bushed! :dizzy:

I talked to Laurie this morning and she and I are meeting with Cindy and her cousin this evening for dinner. I can't wait.

Took my shower and smell fresh as a daisy! :D

Talk to you all in the a.m. and let you know about our fun.

Have a great evening.

Lynn

ooohhhh....how cool is this site now?

:cool:

i was trying to figure out the smilies...i think i got it.

we are still waiting for the final results of bil's autopsy...talked to the medical examiner today and she strongly suggested for dh to get a physical and chest xray....bil's heart should weigh 400 grams, and it was 700 grams, some major artery was 90% blocked, and he had some arterial coronary disease? i can't remember it all...but i have a call in to dh's dr. to set him up with some tests in case this is genetic. not ready to lose him for a long time!:love:

lynn - how exciting ya'll get to meet...have fun and tell us all about it...take a picture !

jill - because of last week, being on the road alot and having to eat fast food i am dreading weighing...i am going to check it in the morning (am also waiting for tom to end) i am expecting a pound or 2 gain..if i am lucky i will be the same....14.5 loss...we will see..... i saw you lost 6lbs last month!! :D good for you, that's great...yes, it is slow...don't you wish you could just go to bed and wake up 40lbs lighter? that would make me so happy.

theresa - so sorry about your aunt and uncle..i must have missed that post....what kind of puppy are you thinking about? if i ever got another one, i would get one with hair and not fur...unfortunately, that would be a poodle or a bijon? girlie dogs, i don't think the boys would appreciate that..suppose to be great for not shedding hardly at all and good for people who may be allergic to dogs. ..they were also recently listed in my child magazine as one of the 10 best dogs for kids...you might want to check that out.

hi viv, cindy, laurie, linn....i think that covered everybody...

will check in after my dreaded weigh in...

nite..robin

@#$%^&!!!!!!!
 

Hey ladies -
I just had to check in as I'm on the way out the door to baseball to say that I have been offline at work since last week and it 's driving me nuts! The internet is my life support at work, LOL!
Anyway, wanted to just quickly get on and say hi.,....

Laurie - I don't know if Linn was able to reach you but the site is www.prettyimpressivestuff.com/sugarbusters - they left off the last F.

Hi to all and I really gotta get Brendan to his practice.....They're not going to reconnect us till Friday, yuck.

Hi to all!

Viv

later...i am walking newsletters around the neighborhood and came in to cool off and get some more...

see ya..robin

Hi!

Way to go ROBIN :D Guess what your doing is working great for sure.

Sorry I haven't posted, haven't had time.

Between everything going on for end of school, moving my mom's stuff, getting rid of stuff in my house and everything in between, well I just about have time to breathe.

It was great to see Cindy and Laurie again for dinner last night. We all had a great time sharing laughter and fun and showing off our kids and family. They are really great people! :cool:

Viv - sorry your offline, see you when you get hooked up again! :(

Have to go get some dinner started.

Take care,
Lynn:wave:

Hello Everyone!

I see Lynn already filled you in about our dinner. Cindy is just as nice and funny in person as on line. :) It was great seeing Lynn again and meeting Cindy. Cindy brought 2 cousins who fit right in. We heard lots of family stories along with stories about New Orleans. Can't wait to go there some day.

I guess no one has a convection oven since no one answered my questions about one. :?:

I'm on my way to Findlay, Ohio this weekend for my niece's high school graduation. She is very excited about graduating and beginning college. Who wouldn't want to return to those carefree days? :dizzy:

We finally made a decision on someone to fence in our backyard. Poor Sparky (Springer Spaniel) has had to have us tag along with him outside for every potty break. He's used to having his freedom in the backyard.

I finally turned on my air conditioner last night. It has been pretty cool around here for the last 6 weeks. I can handle some heat until the humidity begins. We'll get a taste of what the electric bill will be for the new house with the AC running.:(

Robin - I heard today that my prescription for Meridia has been approved by my insurance company. :D Instead of paying $100 a month I'll only have to pay $20 for 90 days

Well, it is time for me to turn in. Good night everyone. :yawn:

Laurie

Laurie - that is great your insurance is going to pay...who do you have, if you don't mind me asking.

don't they have the little convection ovens now that are the size of a microwave? is that what you were talking about? my big oven(only oven, besides the microwave) has a convection baking feature....i hardly ever use it, since it blows the hot air around, it browns my stuff too much before it is done...i would be lost without a microwave. hope that helped.

lynn and laurie - sounds like ya'll had fun for dinner....someone needs to come to texas for a vacation! we're fun :dizzy: !

gotta get to bed...i am going shopping tomorrow..i need my rest.

nite..robin

HI,

Got home late last night, from a fun trip.

It was great seeing Lynn again and meeting Laurie, and guess what???? we forgot to take a picture of the 3 of us. Lynn and I snapped a picture as soon as I got there, then we sat down, and we got so busy that we forgot to take another picture of the 3 of us. BUT, Lynn did you and Laurie do pictures the first time yall met. ANYWAY----These are two nice women, we had fun talking about our families, and I talked about New Olreans and Mardi gras. Ate a good meal and after about 2 1/2 hours headed out the door.

Robin-I like TEXAS----whereabouts in TEXAS are you? LOL I'll come see you. Hows the weather holding up with TROPICAL STORM ALISON? We're still getting rain from it. We are on the east side of the storm and thats the worst side to be on because of all the flooding. we have street flooding, and there was a tornado nearby. and its STILL RAINING. We won't need rain for weeks. My flowers look like crap.

Laurie-I'm glad that your insurance company will pay for that medication. :)

so where is everyone?

cindy

Hello Everyone!

Cindy - Glad your plane landed OK. :) It was great meeting you in the flesh! I had a nice time with you, Lynn and your cousins. Sounds like you're getting pounded with rain. Hope you and Robin dry up soon.

Robin - My insurance is Aetna. I'm just waiting for my doctor to get the approval form. Any side effects I should watch out for?


Theresa - Cindy showed me your picture. I imagined you had dark hair but for some reason I thought your hair would be short. I also heard some stories about you at Mardi Gras LOL
:o

Well, I have to get back to work. Take care.

Laurie
