Hi All,

Does any one have any prozac to share? My DD is going to drive me to drink soon. Moving Co doesn't want to come until Mon now so that throws a monkey wrench into the plans. She only gets half the info, can't seem to prioritize crap. Do they ever grow up?

Ok hopefully I got that out of my system now. I am reading Dr Laura Schlessinger's book called "Stop whining, Start Living" It's pretty good, makes you stop and think how it all fits into your life. I am trying to put into practice some of the things she says with the situation right now. ughhhhhhhhh

Not sure I can do Vegas in Oct as that is the 1st of our fiscal year here at work. I'll see what I can do, I can kill two birds with one stone on that trip, meet all of you fantastic ladies and see DD.

I can say my weight loss has stalled, not losing for a while, after this trip I am hitting it hard. It's amazing how one extra person can throw life off kilter.

Take care, have a great day

LauraK

Apples, don't worry I won't be heading that far north. they are safe.

Great Hope it works out too.

LauraK

OMW...do I look that old, Laura? One of those "boys" is my DH and the other my oldest (26 at the time)

Nope you don't, your DH just looks young. Told yah I'm lookin older and younger. lol

Apples, you were beautiful then and now.

Cute boys!!!

Apples, way to go on the clothes. They are great.

Charlene, good luck on the weigh in tomorrow.

Laura K

Apples, Nope the cougar is still contained.

LauraK, when will you be in SLC? Where are you staying? I'd offer my place but don't have my guest room up and running yet. Would love to try and meet up.

We should be in SLC on the 23rd. Don't have a hotel picked yet kind of winging it. Got some great books from AAA so we will pick soon. I think you have your hands busy enough just moving and all. We will have to see if we can work it out to meet.

LauraK

Phyl, love the pics of your family.

Great, yes we are and we are staying part of the day and the night in SLC. We decided that we want to explore the area a bit. It is only 6hrs further to Tonopah NV and the end of our trip. Maybe we can meet up.

Kurby, Tell only those you want to.

Welcome to all the new ones. You can ask these ladies anything.

Linda, haven't packed a thing yet. Trying to get my Sis organized for the grad parth on sat. I'll get there. DD's moving co is coming friday so that will be a big help.

Janet, Your GD knows you love her and she will think about what you say to her. Even small changes will help her.

LauraK

Eva, Love the pics, not sure which one more. You look radiant in front of that falls. You know I love the plants, I can't believe how tall those agave flower spikes are.

lauraK

Kurby,

I started chaning my eating the day I went for my first consult. Lost 25 lbs before surg date. I think it made it easier for me to do the 10 liquids, mushies, and then onwards. I figured I was in this all the way or not at all. I didn't get the concept of "last supper". I still crave sugar at times but not the breads.

You can do this, you are already ahead of the game by staying with these ladies and posting.

Congrats to Nels for graduation.

Charlene, you are amazing being able to do the shakes all this time.

LauraK

My Ex is 6'5" so I thought pics way up high is where they were supposed to be lol I'm 5'2", every time I hang something I have to move it down a couple of times.

Phyl, My Ex also has a pig cooking business, he wraps the pork butt/shoulder/loin in foil before closing he pours in apple juice and garlic salt. Checks to see if they are still moist if not add more juice. One thing nice I can say is he can now cook great, at least pork and chicken.< /p>

Laurak

Jodi,

Boy are you a scream. I just love reading your posts. You are so busy all the time. Dassi will adjust to your guest.

LauraK

Same goes for me. It's your life make the most of it.

Cheri, way to go on the grant.

Linda, the pics are wonderful, GD is a beauty, DH is handsome. No wonder you were a cougar. lol

Thanks for the info, printed and in my purse.

LauraK

Linda,

Our plan is to stay in Des Moines on our first night. It will be a ten hr drive but we decided to travel longer on the first day as it will get pretty long after that.

I guess I will just wait and see what happens, not oppossed to being a "cougar" lol No really don't want to young of one around.

Karen, wonderful pic, you are so beautiful in and out.

Janet, I've been thinking about the boot camp but they are doing it every night for a couple of weeks at a time.

Kurby, you go girl sounds like you have a very busy time planned. You will do great.

lauraK

Michigan mosquitos are cousins of MN ones. Can't go outside without swatting, but at least I can think of it as exercise. lol

You could always just try to play the "Cougar" role for a bit...see how you like it.

That is a joke that has been going on around my house. I tease my DS and his buddy that I'm going to be a cougar. But then I think why do I want to finish raising someone elses child. lol There's one out there some where for me.

Not sure if amazing would be the word to describe me, but thanks. Nuts maybe...

I agree with what the others have said and how you described how you felt about dating your "older than you man". Not to be crude but you seem to me to be very young and full of "Pi$$ and vinegar" and you need someone that thinks young and takes care of themself as you do. Someone to have fun with. Maybe someone with a 80 foot yacht?????????????????

Man I love how you think. I can see myself just sun bathing on the front of that baby. yahoo.....

I do love a man that can spar back and forth. I guess I was thinking an older one would be more settled but dang any more settled and he may be comatose. My Ex was younger, my last BF was the same age figured they didn't work may try an older one. I don't think that is going to work either. Guess I need to look for that pi$$ and vinegar one.

:cursing:

Apples, You are amazing.

Janet, Yep had another date. Not sure this will work. He is older, had knee replaced, works many many hours & is kind of old fashion. I guess I would like someone who will be more active, he seems to be one of those that does not take care of himself, just keeps pushing on & can't figure out why he isn't healing. I don't mean to sound negative about him, he seems really nice. I guess since improving my health I want to continue being as active as I can be. He will need to keep up with me..

Julie, glad you are back among us again.

Kurby, welcome aboard. Everyone here is very helpful, ask them anything.

Joyce, that yoga retreat sounds like a cool experience. I have been thinking about trying yoga.

Phyl, hope this helps with the reflux. You can do this..

Eva, I am not a domestic goddess either. When summer comes I want to be outside, my inside gets pushed to the back burner until I have to deal with it. Made a deal with my DS today. I would make him cream puff in a pan to take to his GF bros grad party and buy the ingredients but he has to clean the bathroom. lol

Laura K

Linda,

DD just said tonight we may stay in Des Moines the first night, so it may be a possiblity of meeting you. I hope so. No I am flying back on July 2 out of Las Vegas. We are driving from Tonopah to Vegas on July 1 spending the day/night and then she will take me to the airport.

Hope your poor baby don't freeze.

Laura K

Linda,

We leave on June 21st. Haven't really made any plans yet on how far, stops all that good stuff. Trying to keep my mouth shut and let her run the show. (dang hard to do) I like to plan and she is very laid back. Just found out tonight that she got her apt. Kids!!!

Laura K

Hi All,

I was up early today as the dog wanted to go out. My first friday to sleep in. We are on summer hrs now so I get every other one off. So I puttered around the yard all morning getting stuff spiffed up again, still planting and moving them around.

Lori, you will make friends in no time. Great job on the unpacking.

Jodi, do you go to Fire Island again this weekend?

Joyce, you have a lovely yard in your pic, so I bet you do know about plants.

LauraK

Phyl, hope DS follows thru with meds.

Great, had my gall bladder out many yrs ago. Didn't know HRT could cause gall stones til many yrs later. Have CRS and don't remember what test they put me thru to diag. it. You are a strong lady and will make it thru this too. Hang in there.

Laura K

Phyl, hope your DS is doing ok tonight. I'll keep him and you in my thoughts and prayers.
