Seniors in love An elderly senior couple were invited to an old friends home for dinner one evening. She was impressed by the way her lady friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc.The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love. While the husband was in the living room, her lady friend leaned over to her host to say, 'I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your husband all those loving pet names'. The elderly lady hung her head. 'I have to tell you the truth,' she said, 'His name slipped my mind about 10 years ago, and I'm scared to death to ask the cranky old asshole what his name is.

Morning Gang: ( i just made it under the wire for morning eh? ha,ha,) Had a good nights sleep, my Mom called and woke me up... she is feeling better today... they all came down with the NORWALK Virus at her Seniors Residance. Puking and Diareha!!! ACK, can you just imagine 70 - 85 year olds with walkers and diarhea???? OMG those staff there do not make enough money !!! Brings a whole new meaning to the words HOLY CRAP!!! Anyways, Mom is on the other side of it now and just has to wait for the rest of them to start feeling better. then go 10 days BUG free... then they'll reopen the Residance to visitors and let them out to walk about too. I had to cancle 2 dental appts for my MOM that were to be this week.. so that'll save me a trip for another week at least. She is bored beyond BONKERS right now... But she survived it, so that's the main thing. Going to the movies tonight with my GF Darlene (the one I;ve been painting for) we are either going to see AVATAR or Dear John or From Paris w/Love(John Travolta) any recommendations???? Eggs w/ cheese so far for breaky:biggrin:

WHOO_hoo Karri;;; Yes you do deserve that raise.... You work your ass off alll the time... Ya know what they say "what goes around, comes around" Good for you!!! Karla: Great job getting that whole cloth quilt done... that was a big job... I've never done a scalloped edge on a quilt... I'm a big old rectangle gal!! LOL Janet: Have a blast with your sister and say Hello to her from all of US:biggrin: I can't beleive Phyl's been gone almost a week now... hope she's had a good time... Well, just about finished my painting job... one more day perhaps Monday. I was originally hired to do 2 bathrooms, 3 large bedrooms... Now since its all looking so nice ... I am to do the upstairs hallway, all the doors (YUK) and touch up the RED living room too (which I painted 2 yrs ago) Oh yeah, and I got 2 phone calls from my old job last night, and 1 this morning from my old boss. Oh, gee they need help!!!! (ha,ha,ha) Could I come in to day to do some extra training? {Yeah right, I'll get right on it...like I don't have anything else planned for today, can you imagine the GAUL!!@$@#%@#@}

Another painting day today... hungry today... so I ate a little more , but good food choices and lots of protien!! i just finished watching "Driving Miss Daisy" with JEssica Tandy and MOrgan Freeman...OMGosh.. I cried like a baby at the end.... I had forgotten what a good movie it was! CALORIESCARBSFATPROTEIN1,537/136/57/106 Food for today:

Janet; I LOVE LOVE LOVE your idea about the Lucky 7's trip next year in New York City... OMG I have always wanted to go there, but DH would never like the BIG APPLE...Plus, there's shopping galore, broadway shows, boat tours... or... we could do a CRUISE of the Eastern Seaboard with NYC being one of the stops!!!!!!:sifone: CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN950/46/44/95

You'll be fine with the PESSARY I wore one for years before my surgery repair work... Once it is inserted you dont feel it as its up at your cervix and wedged in to you pelvic bone so it stays in place.. you can even have SEX with it in.. I used to take mine out 1 x per week to give it a good scrub, then pop it back in...just think of putting contacts in for the first time.. its just a learned skill Did your doctor ever grade your prolapse? is it a 1, 2 3 or 4... cause if its a 3 or a 4.. you could end up with an ulceration. So get it looked at. Also, (and I am saying this with love!) don't go back to the nursery job doing all that HEAVY lifting.. that is just making matters worse... Find a summer tutoring job, something that's less taxing physically. You do enough heavy work around your house cause theres no Man to help you.

feeling kinda weird today... no motivation to sew!!! and its my only day off this week???? Breaky: strawberry pro shake Snack; MiniBell cheese Lunch: probably ham salad Snack: almonds (15) Dinner: Moose roast, veggies Snack: SF FF pudding Just not excited about today... I guess it's just a funky day... it'll pass... Karla; I am so sorry to hear of your quilting lady friend.. What aweful news... Drinking my 2nd caff free tea today.. now I must go sew!!! CBL

Karri, the diarhea is not an allergic response...its because the antibiotics are so strong that in addition to killing the nasty bacteria in your boobs, they ALSO killl the GOOD bacteria in the GUT...your intestines... You may also get a Yeast infection vaginally... but its an inconvenience while your BOOBS get better... try some immodium for the runs. And canestin for the vag(if you get caught there too) (((hugs))) you'll be better soon...

Hey there, yes i WAS painting today... have tomorrow off then back at it THRUS and FRIDAY... hopefully I'll be done on Friday.... It's lookiing mighty FINE if I do say so myself!!! Just had {Janet} dinner , TILAPIA FISH, Sauteed Veggies, Rice... I gave myself a good sized peice of fish , cause I need more protien... only got about 3 oz. in... then the veggies/rice. Set my timer for 1 hour so I can HAVE my tea!!! Went to the DOctors today on my lunch... she froze my leg and cut out a nasty looking MOLE that I've had forever... only lately the little buggar has been changing colour and size, and getting flaky.... Ummmm Doc didn't like it, so she sent it for BIOPSY, but she said she was 99% sure it is not cancer... I go back in 10 days to get the stitches out... Now NOONE will want to see my thighs!!!! CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,160805197 Doing good on the protien today.... 97 Grams..

Karri, I am so glad that the antibiotics are working!~!! Hall-le-lu-ya for that... Don't forget the ICE PACKS too if you still have pain and discomfort!!!

Oh my Gosh Karri;;; I thought that it was an infection...you poor thing... I can only imagine how sore "THEY" are... ICE packs if they get really uncomfortable... decreases inflamation and helps cut the pain. Now for the antibiotics and Allergic reactions... 1) Watch for itchiness/redness (although you are alreay RED) 2) tightness in your chest when breathing, trouble getting air into your lungs 3) swollen face, tongue if you have ANY of the 3 listed above get your ASS back to an ER right away... Do not wait... go immediately or even call the fire dept to take you as they have oxygen onboard or an ambullance. (((hugs))) and please keep us posted on your condition o.k.? Candice (Momma #2)

Gotta go make dinner for my...self Went to Toronto today for the KICKSTART PROGRAM at my Lapband clinic... more later babes Food today: CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN938/124/27/56 O.k so I went for my FAST TRACK appointment... 1/2 with a kinetics Doctor, 1/2 hour with a Dr. of Nutrician. It was well worth the trip down there and back - 5 hours... Turns out I am DOING several things WRONG and this is why I am not loseing the rest of my weight... 1) Eat EVERY 3 hours, weather I am HUNGRY or not... 2) Each time I eat, it must include PROTIEN 3) No drinking with meals ( i wasn't doing this) but I need to WAIT One full HOUR before beverages. 4) Between meals I must drink MORE water... he thinks I am dehydrated and that's causing fluctuations in my B/P... (makes sense) 5) I must NOT skip breakfast, under any circumstances... if I am TIGHT, then have a pro shake or pro bar, cut up in very tiny peices. 6) I must stop saving Calories to Eat at night... to the detriment of rule #1 & #2... if I am going to snack in the evenings it must include a protien source...ie. pc of cheese, then the popcorn... or NUTS, then a SF, FF pudding or yogurt 7) strive to eat more veggies and fruit, and if I can't tolerate them... then I may need a slight Un-fill... 8) No carb. beverages.. (o.k. cause I don't drink them anyways) He said I was "setting my body up for failure" because I was NOT eating enough protien, plus with working out at the gym 4 times per week, I need MORE cals on those days... up to 1250 cals... and increase PROTIEN... So I think I can do this and refocus myself... eat more HIGH quality foods and less junk... he didn't say to completely eliminate sugar, but I think I'll do that anyways... gotta get the cravings under control.... Southbeach ... is a good lifestyle.. so I hauled that book out again. He didn't weigh me, nor did he give my a scolding for the POOR choices that I've been making ( I sent him my food diary for the last week - the good, the bad, and the ugly details) I felt empoured when I left... so that's it in a nutshell.... Went shopping on the way home and bought $100 worth of HEALTHY foods... to have on hand to grab and go... I should be able to eat things from ALL food groups... or the band is too tight.

Karla, WTG on the 170#'s that is awesome!!! I'm right behind you

'Ya, its nice to own your OWN machine for such jobs.. also a spray on Product that works well on Puppy accidents and RED WINE on a Beige carpet... SPOT SHOT... its in a BLUE and SILVER/ORANGE can... awesome product!!! Been using it for years.

HI guys, Your dinner sounds better than mine... It was chinese food restarunt... the Food was actually pretty good, I could only eat about 1/3 of the plate.. so Hubby finished it off.
