Good Morning All!
It's a beautiful crisp day today in MN. It's supposed to hit 80 though, so it's going to be grand! I have a dinner and a movie date tonight, so I hope the body holds out. It's been holding it's own I guess. I had my Mayo appointment last week and I don't start all my appointments till October 5th, so I guess I hafta hang on till then. I hope everyone else is doing as good as can be expected, under the circumstances! Come on in and tell us what's happening in your little corner of the world. Let's get this rollcall back on track--whether you come in the morning, afternoon, or night--hey even 2 or 3 times a day--let's talk!!! Hope to hear from everybody!!! Hugs, Jan |

Good morning Jan from East Tn!!
I think we will be having the same kind of weather as you describe I decided to not weigh myself this morning since I noticed I am getting the scale addiction going (this is a weight loss thread...right???.......I am sorry if I screwed up ) I am debating on whether or not to go to my gym and try the pool walking out today....have lots of pain and kind of feeling iffy about taking that step, like what if it makes it worse?? I tried to uoload a avator I used on another board and it said it was too big...wish I knew out to make things like that work! I decided to join this group here since my other place sometimes go down and I really do much better when involved with a support group. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone here!

I normally did a virtual walk at 11am central every day with some of the gals on here, but since BT went down, I hafta admit, I haven't done it. I need to get back into the swing of things again. Welcome Suzie!!! Cool! Glad you're here! What a story! I am so happy for you that you are out of the scooter!! Way to go honey!! Do you walk at a certain time, or just whenever in the morning and at night? I need someone to kick me in the butt to do it I guess; account to someone......I know, I know....or maybe the virtual walk will again start...... Although I did have a bright spot at Mayo. I lost 10 pouinds since last year, so that helps. Now, if I could only get back on track with the walking..... Anyway, I just wanted to pop back in and tell you Junie, that you're right--oh, and did you read what I posted to you in the CP forum?? I think we were posting at basically the same time---TOO FUNNY!! I also wanted to say hi to Suzie! If you guys want to be a "cheerleader" send me a pic and I'll make you one. Oh, Junie--send me your pic and I'll shrink ya (don't ya wish it was that easy in real life!!) for your avatar. Not sure when I'll get around to it though. With my dinner and a movie tonight. Priorities ya know!! hehehe Hugs, Jan aka HC (Head Cheerleader) |

Hi, great minds and all.
I went there last night and found that. I made a few avatars that are on some thread... darn it. I forget where. Maybe in the social forum... whereever that question was also raised. I hate the inherent confusion I live with now.... They were pretty nice, I thought. Did you see them? Where are they, she moaned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here they are... they were in the 500 members thread... no idea why... http://forums.braintalk2.org/showthr...p?t=736&page=2

(((((((Junie))))))) re the scale addiction.... sorry about the pain! I'm here in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and it's lovely out. I don't think I can walk ten minutes... maybe. I was walking around in a circle in my garden, and even that tiny amount of exercise helped. (Past tense is BAD.) But things have been so stressful. I sold my rental and paid my home mortgage current. Then I began having the work on my condo completed... my condo was built over part of an old privy pit, that's where I got the hydrogen sulfide nerve damage from. I paid for close to $5,000 worth of work and listed it with a woman at Sotheby's. A couple weeks later the woman called me and said another Realtor in her office said he'd bought it at the foreclosure sale. It had been foreclosed and sold and no one had sent me any of those papers... so the Realtor got this totally beautifully freshly painted, freshly landscaped, condo for $85,000 and he got all my equity -- I'd been paying on my condo for 17 or 18 years. And I'd had the whole pit excavated which cost another 12,000 back in 2003. That was bad, but having the court deny my Constitutional right to due process, to be told, to be notified, that's what made me so sick. I could barely get from my door to my chair under my ponderosa... From experience I know that I'm better off resting when I get a lot of pain and muscle tightening than trying to exercise... exercise makes it much much worse... because of the tetanus nerve damage I guess. So that's where I'm at... I've done an appeal, now. And when I'm a little more recovered I'm going to do an adversary proceeding in bankruptcy court against Deutsche Bank. But for now, the main thing is getting better. (And of course I would get dental problems at the same time.)

Long time no see. You have gained 30 pounds. Well this is where you belong then. I was an original, I guess. I was Called: BC, I forgot what it means. I just think of: Before Christ. I feel like it right now after pulling some weeds with many stiches in me, both front and back. Yes, I have had surgery again. These stiches are to come out Monday. I looked this evening and they are red. I have a paper that says to call if they look like that. I am otherwise ok, so no calling for me.
It's nice to see you here Linda. We have always had a ball chating about weight and the tips are really neat. I really liked the one someone else gave once about washing, draining green grapes, then freezing them. If not in the freezer to long, they are delicious. You would think they would freeze hard, but not for a couple days or so. Count me in, wherever we sign in at. I want to loose at least 30 pounds. I have lost almost that, but it's so easy to put back on. Billie |
