I live in Florida and my husband teases me all the time that I am the only person he knows who got cold in Death Valley. We traveled thru California a couple years ago and true story I was cold and it was 5 a.m. and 102 degrees. Lol

In Florida it is because air conditioning.

This made me sad your kids were embarrass of you? My oldest never mention anything to me but I do feel she sorta was cuz now it's more of mom lets take photos together. Meet my friends lets go out. Come to school meetings I always did but I can tell she loves the compliments that's your sister. She holds my hands this is a 16 year old. She shows me off or tells me fix your hair or where this. She borrows my shirts & says we are the same size.

Well one of my daughters teases me a little and you can whenever I mention losing weight she gets very excited.

Your tropical storm is headed our way tonight. It started raining lightly at dawn but the real rain will be here this afternoon and overnight, and it'll get windy. It's cold and raw here again, low sixties. I bet it's warmer in FL...

I don't like temps over 70-75, but I don't like cold, rainy, and raw either.

Well one of my daughters teases me a little and you can whenever I mention losing weight she gets very excited.

I always wonder what is was like to be tiny,and i'm on the other side now my 16 year old is gaining weight lmbo. Ha! Now I used to say to her I always wanted a waist like yours,but she is growing a belly not "huge" but I'm like I don't want your body anymore LMBO she just looks at me. I saw watch next year I will have the body I want. She would never make me feel bad,but she would say I don't think that looks good on you stuff like that,and I know she didn't want ppl talking about me. She was up set when one of her now ex friend said I was not pretty this is going back 3 years or so. My 5 year old did tell me mind you I lost 102 pounds but this was a while back you have a big belly. If she thinks it's big now I wonder what she thought when I couldn't see my cuca,but she's so cute. I like hearing her talk to me cuz she little,and she started talking 2 years ago so it's fun to know what she thinks,but she gives me awesome compliments. I like your purse your hair,your shirt ect... She tells me you bought another slipper why? you have these she takes them out. I explain I was gonna do my pedicure but I didn't have time,and notice I ran out of money. Then I said are you getting like your father asking me why I bought something? She starts laughing no mom I just wanted to know why you bought another pair. kids LMBO

_{I sure won't miss trying to cross my legs and having to grab my pants legs to pull my leg up, or not being able to sit on the floor to play with my grandchildren because i know i'll have issues getting up.}

I am new to this site, but love it already. Everyone is so supportive and friendly. I must be struggling worst than i realize as I was at work reading this topic and found myself crying...thinking about alllll the things I cannot do now.

My list is sad and extensive!

I will not miss having to sit in the car (in all types of weather) while my fiancee does all the shopping, because my knees and back hurt to much to walk around the store... Not to mention the excessive sweating

Wont miss the medication I can barely remember to take anyway

Having to use a cane and/or wheelchair

Being afraid to go to friends/family homes because I may not fit in their chairs and/or there may be lots of steps to climb. For that matter being afraid to go anywhere, theatres, restaurants, parks, clubs, church, etc.

Ordering 90% of my clothing from catalogs... Then having to return some because they dont fit or are just plain ugly

Not being able to walk with my co-workers at lunch and having to pretend that I'd rather surf the internet....but since I found this site, I would rather....

Not being able to babysit my granddaughter (by myself) because i cant run back and fourth with her

Not being able to visit my parents, grandmother and brothers graves because of th

e walk

Being winded just from the short walk from my truck to my office or bathroom

Having assistance bathing and applying lotion to my feet

Being to tired and lazy to cook or get a cup of Water....so doing without or resorting to that ever present bag of potato chips or candy, thats on the table next to the bed Im no doubt laying in. Whewwww Im making myself sad again.. But looking forward to brighter days full of me being able to do all of the above and feeling wonderful.
