Wheezy

Maria, Congratulations on your 6 lbs lost, better yet 67!!!!! WTG

Yoda and Mookie, I did not mean to change the subject about your dads. Yoda, you're right it takes two to make a relationship work. Mookie, I hope you can also find peace.

1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice (depending on the size of the limes it will take about a dozen or so) The juice of 1 lemon 1 cup of tequila 1/2 cup of triple sec (or your favorite orange liquor) Sweeten to taste (I use Splenda) Add all ingredients in a blender (one that can crush ice) and add 2 cups of ice cubes Blend together and voila....Be careful as you can see it's potent. What's a Zima?

If I am pregnant, you can all be aunties!!! Do you think our house insurance would cover the cost of raising a kid?????

Both my sisters don't have weight issues, one(the perfect one) is about a size 6 and the other an 8, they are 5'3 and 5'5 respectively. I also have 4 brothers and none of them are fat. Neither of my parents had weight issues. My mom is now battling to lose 20 lbs, she has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. So you see, there is no jealousy here. I'm the one that should be jealous but I'm not...I'm just happy for all of them not to have to suffer with all of the awful side effects of obesity. So I'm the only one........ What's up with that?????

I actually have 2 sisters and I would never have picked either for a friend. One is too perfect in every way and the other is the not so bright one but I am very grateful to have them both in my life. They would be the first people I would call if I needed something and I would always be there for them. They are the only two people besides my husband who know about the band. hmmm...... I wonder if I would be someone they would pick as a friend?

Yeah, that's the Elmo's. I hear that on ebay they are selling for crazy amounts. I'll just have to probably buy something else. They are so cute though. The day I brought them home I opened up one of the boxes and my husband and I played with it for about half an hour. Our cat really didn't know what to make of it.

Yoda the Gap, fantastic. I always foung the Gap in Canada is overpriced but there's a Gap in Lake Placid, NY that always have fantastic deals. Everytime we are in Lake Placid, we make it a point to stop there and we alway buy stuff on sale. I always buy for others though. It would be so much fun to walk in there some day and buy stuff in there for me. Great NSV!!!!

There's a very nasty gastroenteritis virus going around. I wonder if that's the one you had. My brother had it...he looked and felt like crap, literally. We also have a gastro outbreak at the hospital I work in and we are on lock down. That means that except for extenuating circumstances there are no visitors allowed, only the people that work there are allowed to enter the building and no one is allowed in or out of the building unless we use the disinfectant on our hands. Imagine being in the hospital already sick and you get this bug!!!! There are so many RNs sick with it the ones that are left are working overtime. The moral of the story is.....stay away from hospitals, they are a breeding ground for all kinds of nasty bugs. Glad your feeling better Sherri

Funny video Yoda. Tim Hortons every forty feet... sounds like where I grew up!!

Too bad about staying away from tequila. I have a great Margarita recipe using freshly squeezed limes....yummy!!! And it's good for you, lot's of Vitamin C. LOL

Well the cleanup crew was here and removed all the flooring in our basement and cut about 2 feet of gyprock from the floor up. They disinfected and now we have 5 mega fans running to dry the place up. All of the furniture is in the middle of each room. I was pretty good about the whole thing until I discovered that some of the Christmas gifts I had bought were ruined. In particular the 2 Tickle Me Elmos. When I saw that I cried. I guess that was the straw that broke the camels back. The Elmos are very hard to find and I really lucked out to find them and now they are ruined. Mandi we kept warm with layers of clothing, lost of blankets and lots of body heat....was kinda fun......sometimes. Saturday night it went down to -6, not so fun then. It's funny you should mention about not having television. Friday night a few of the neighbors ended up at our place and since there was nothing else to do, we had several alcoholic beverages. We stayed up until 3 am and they were talking about sitting around the radio to listen to shows in the evenings when they were young. We reminisced about the ice storm and talked about how it brought families together.

Yes, Cloe is right BELIEVE IT!!!

I'm so glad I now know what that means. Don't laugh at me..... well it's OK if you do...

Some guys are just sooooo clueless!!! Don't let that kind of stuff get you down, he's just another clueless male.

Glad you clarified, I would have know that word.....NOT LOL

I've heard "Don't get your knickers in a twist" but never "ginch". I think Cloe and I are spiritually the same age.

Hi I'm back and I missed you all. A wild ice and wind storm passed by and we had no power, cable, phone or internet for the last 3 days. It looked like a disaster area around here. There were trees uprooted all over the place. Our basement flooded and ruined our rec. room and spare bedroom. It was a time to get reacquainted with your spouse and neighbors by candlelight. We also did not have any heat. It was reminiscent of the ice storm of '98 except then we had no power for 7 days!!! Sure glad it's over and now it's the cleanup!! So I hope everyone is well. I have to do some catching up so I'm off to read all your postings.

Glad to hear your mom's OK. As for your sister, my sister says the most ignorant things to me sometimes, I just brush it off because I don't think she's smart enough to know that what she says can be hurtful. I'm not trying to be facetious, I truly believe that. I love her to death and she would do anything for me but sometimes she could be soooo stupid. My husband doesn't know why I put up with it. Maybe that's the case with your sister, or maybe that's what you should be thinking the next time she insults you like that.

Oh but you will Mandi, your photos were fantastic. You will come back glowing with a multitude of NSVs. You deserve it!

Mandi the pictures are amazing. You have done so well and your parents are going to be so proud. Looks like Dan has lost some weight too.

I tried a McDonald's cheseburger a month after the band, that was a mistake. I think it was the white bread bun. That experience was enough for me. No more burgers for Wheezy!!

Good luck Krissy. Hope everything goes smoothly. Let us know how everything goes.

Mandi just needs to go home and see people she hasn't seen in a while and they are going to freak.

WTG, stayed the same weight and still enjoyed your ice cream cake. Nice birthday gift!
