Let me know how that works for Jim. I was just talking to another MSer about this and how they are starting to use them in many rehab facilities with excellent results. I was pretty impressed with the reviews and have been putting aside a little bit of money to get the Wii as well as the WiiFit.

Vonn - I used the prepaid phone for years. It worked great. I got the Alltel one as their minutes don't expire after so many days. In other words, if you purchase $40.00 worth of minutes many companies have a limit on how long you have to use those minutes (T-Mobile is 90 days). I finally got a plan but did not have to sign any contract as I had my prepaid with Alltel for so long. It worked out great.

Hi everyone! I hope you all have a good day.

Wait! Vonn, are you giving your car away too? Why?????

LOL If you already answered this I am sorry, I missed it.

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a good day. I heard from my neuro last night. He told me that he and the radiologist have now decided I do have one new lesion since year. I am not sure why they were undecided earlier. I told him that I was not going to try any new meds for now (imuran or cellcept) as there was no real evidence that they are helping. He responded by saying well it is chemo and it is used alot in Europe, but if there was evidence that it worked, it would be used alot more in the states. So why was he pushing it a month ago? Ugh! Then he said he would see me in 6 months and I knew how to find him if I needed him.

I am joining Weight Watchers today. I am going with a friend so hopefully that will help me stick with the program. I did W.W. about 5 years ago and lost 45 pounds. Of course I have gained it all back. But I have decided I need to get my diet under control. I don't want to be one of those people who need 2 aides to get them out of bed and into a wheel chair. Just kidding! Sort of!

it was a "special" day, Cyn... far from the usual, which is usually mostly just laying in the hammock, under the fan, and feeding the animals at dawn and dusk.

yep, we have eggs for breakfast every day... we eat the small ones, the over-large ones, and the off-color ones.

we barter 2 or 3 flats a day, in exchange for veggies... (there's 30 in a flat)

and we *still* have enough left over to hatch a batch (42) a month.

and we get to make roast chicken from all the "extra" roosters, and always have meat in the freezer... if you have the space for it, free-range chicken farming is easy and fun... the chickens mostly take care of themselves, we just had to make STURDY possum-proof coops, and safe nest-boxes, out of scrap lumber.

we also have ducks, geese, pigs, goats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, on 6 acres.

and mmmmmmmmmmmmm, fresh eggs, brown, organic, free-range, tasty, yum!!

TK the wii system is awesome, we are trying to find a wii fit right now they are hard to find, even the regular wii disc that comes with game has a work out thingy on it, the first week we had it we bowled everynight 4-6 games a night by friday we couldnt move lol we were sore, from using muscles we forgot about

kay my wife is on her way she loves your post, as do I

Barb howdy, not sure about that indecision about lesion, mine did that to me too, perhaps in the early stage of lesion devolpement, it looks similar to other possible thingys

I hope everyone has a wonderful day

peace

Thanks Frank for that information! We bought ours off Ebay for $320, free shipping. It is brand new and from a seller with good solid feedback. Just got it today!!!! Check Ebay for the Wii fit. I saw a bunch.

LOL, Sandy ... you're like me - READ TOO FAST!! no, I want to switch my car with someone's truck to move stuff tomorrow down to storage ...

thanks for the info on the trac phones!! will get one over the weekend ...

Kay ... saw a sign that read blue & green eggs ... $3 a doz ... hmm .. what lays those colors for that cost??

UPDATE ... well, I can't share all of it yet ... not for about 2 more weeks ... but, I may be able to pay off my debt to my landlady IN FULL ... not until after I leave ... will fill you in later - first things first, I need to move out, remove the trailer .... when it's all done, I will explain this miracle - and how God does bring people in your life at certain times for reasons ... give God praise in the good and the bad times - either way! then watch! this is so cool that I'm about screaming out of my skin!! will get to the rest of the story in 2 weeks ...

in the meantime - going to stay offline until I get moved ... well, may check on my course grades ... but, I need to concentrate on packing and moving ... and relocating and getting set-up ... don't get scared or anything, okay??

OK....counting down 2 weeks. We're sending a search team out for you if you don't check in with us once you're moved!!

I'm so happy things are working out for you, Vonn. Isn't it exciting to see how God works in our lives? And even more exciting is to be right in the middle of it all.

Still praying that things remain good for you. Just go with the flow....it'll all come together the way it's supposed to.

there's several kinds of chickens that lay green or bluish eggs, the Easter Egger, the Araucauna, and the Americauna...

somehow, here in da jungle, we managed (a buried recessive gene?) to get a HEN that looks like the one on the right:



she gives us greenish shelled eggs, one every morning, in a pile of hay on top of the rabbit hutches...

here's the scoop on Easter-egg layers:

luckily, I'd already read about this somewhere, so I didn't freak OUT last month when this started, thinking I had some ALIEN chicken !!

PS: I'll be tap-tap-tapping for the next two weeks, waiting !! and praying that all turns out for the very BEST for you, dear !!!!!

you and Deb are welcome to visit anytime, but beware!

plane tickets have gotten RIDICULOUS recently, plus they're charging for extra bags now.

that's why I didn't get to go to my brother's funeral last year, I couldn't afford it... especially on short notice (if you have *time* to hunt, there's sometimes bargains, especially during hurricane high season, August - October).

today's a nothing day... I've already taken a four-hour NAP to rest up from yesterday, lol !!

hubby's busy dehydrating racks and racks of bananas (too many ripening to eat all at once) and making more Mango Chutney to can... we got cases and cases of canning jars at the Farmer's Trading Center last week, wheeeeeeeeeeee !!!

yeah, people get excited about strange things in the jungle.

oh, and there's pineapple in the dryer too... makes the whole house smell wonderful!

plus, we got the foundations poured on the emergency animal hurricane shelter this morning... so, I'm a very content and happy gal...
